ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Near Mirage Tower

<Kat: "Oh, hello Si-">

-And notices his expression-

<Kat: "... What's going on?">

Center

Ryklys: Oh, your dragon. Handy types to have, if a bit... removed from the fate of the sea.

-pets Salamence, kinda icy and robotically-

Bartholomew: <You should remember his Aqua activities, yes?>

-pulls Every into Salamence's mindscape-

Crewe's Room

Glutton!Tangent: -bubbles to surface, sees message history on his 'gear-

Oh, who was that?! That's mean, need to make him feel better...

Fallarbor

Salamence: -doesn't really get that Ryklys couldn't care less about her; nuzzles the Aqua admin-

-sucked into Salamence's scape-

Salamence's Mindscape

-it's...fluffy. And that's about all it is-

-An aspect of Salamence flaps down. The aspect's feathers are impeccably groomed, and for some reason she's wearing glasses-

Memory!Salamence: You'd like to see what happened while you were unconscious?

Er...yes...

-Memory!Salamence proceeds to fill Every in on everything she remembers (as well as what she was told), giving a pretty accurate picture of everything that happened-

Right, it's coming back to me now...

...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

-Notices Tangent acting strangely-

What's with you?

Salamence's Mindscape

Bartholomew: -checks watch-

Malley: <What's his problem?>

Crewe's Room

Poker!Tangent: I am completely normal. -stands statue-still, an emotionless expression frozen on his face-

Basket: <Err... our aspects are kinda... leaking out.>

Charizard!Aspect!Basket:    <Hey, you were never a Charizard, you should try it! >   

   <...my infection seems to not be working as I'd hope though... >   

Basket: <...heh, no further comment needed...>

Salamence's Scape

-another aspect shows up, this one with comically large claws-

Enforcer!Salamence: <Okay, out of the Mindscape!>

-booted-

Fallarbor

Okay, I remember now...

....What have my Pokemon gotten me into this time...

I'd attempt to go fix you, but I'm a bit too drained from fighting those two.

-Looks around-

Fool hasn't talked to me yet.

Silent kneels besides Kat.

"Uhm... I just got a weird message from Tangent... if it was Tangent. See, our friends were battling a certain [Nihilist]... and it seems they have lost..." carefully points to Tracer. "[—Perhaps the one there is not your Trainer but simply a tendril of Tagg's superpowered evil side..."

Maekrite -to Teala: <...so, yup. Trainer taught me Shadow Claw. I'd rather have learnt something more interesting though. Like Earth Power.>

Center

Ryklys: Anyhow, as long as you're here... perhaps you could tail a person of interest for me?

Crewe's Room

Tangent: Eh, after today... I'm okay with a break from that...

Basket: <Your inner demon clipped my wings with that slash thing. >:| >

Fallarbor

Oh my...

Um...who do you need me to tail?

-Scratches my head-

Er, sorry about that Basket.

Center

Ryklys: A powerful trainer, who seems to be involving himself in our affairs... and Magma's.

Crewe's Room

Basket: <You need to nerf that guy... Start playing MMORPG patch notes or something...>

Tangent: -looks at messages-

Oh dear... Silent's not going to take this well...

Fallarbor

Oh? What's his name?

I wonder...

Remains of Mirage Tower

-To Silent-

<Kat: "What?! But how is that possible?!">

Hoenn Desert

To Kat:

"I wish I knew, but I get the impression we can't just go with Tracer and ask. Can you stay close to him and see if you notice anything... well... different? Oh and have that club of yours ready just in [case]."

-Looks over Tangent's shoulder-

What? I just defeated him!

Center

Ryklys: He is known as "Tagg".

-hands Every a file of information on Tagg-

Crewe's Room

Tangent: ...I apparently have a troll aspect.

Pathological!Liar!Tangent: ...and you're talking to him right now!

Fallarbor

.......Could my luck get any better right now?

-takes the file-

Er...can I return to base first? It seems I left my normal clothes there, and tailing this "Tagg" likely won't be feasible in-uniform.

-Eyebrow cock-

Sure I am.

Center

Ryklys: Good thought. Grace?

Grace: -teleports Every, Ryklys, and teams into the Fallarbor Aqua HQ locker room-

Crewe's Room

Pathological!Liar!Tangent: Also, the PEFE HQ is built on an ancient Cubone burial ground, Basket has had a secret crush on Muddy all these years, and- WHUMP!

-gets a facefull of Basket's wing-

Tangent: ...thanks, I needed that.

Aqua Changing Room

Thanks.

-quickly changes back into his normal outfit-

So much better.

Okay then, I'll report back...tomorrow? Day after, if you've got plans for Christmas?

Kitchen

Rex: Nooooo...the cake...the birthdays...   the money I spent on the cakes...   

??? <Hmmm? That sounds like Trainer!>

Rex: ...Eh?

A nearby cupboard open and out peeks...

Fang: <Hi!>

Rex: Oh, it's Fang! *opens his arms* Come give me a hug!

Fang: *leaps onto Rex, snuggling against him* <Yay~>

Rex: *cuddles*

Baby Eevee: *sniffs the air, trying to pick up her scent*

Fang: <Trainer, are you proud of me?>

Rex: Of course I am. *tickles her* Why wouldn't I be?

Fang: *giggles* <No, silly. I haven't told you yet!> *wiggles out of his arms, climbing back up into the cupboard*

Rex: ...?

Fang: *re-emerges, carefully holding onto two boxes* <Tada! ...wow, these are heavy.>

Rex: *grabs them quickly before they fall, looking at them in surprise* The cakes!

Fang: <Yep! There was this silly gator mon that tried to get to the fridge, so I saved the cake before he could eat it! But then that funny winged thing put the fridge somewhere...but at least we have the cake!>

Rex: *squees happily* You're the best Raticate ever!

Elsewhere

Youngster Joey: ... ... ...    SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR SPEAKING SUCH BLASPHEMOUS LIES   

In the Hoenn Desert

<Kat: "Alright, let me get close to him...">

-Goes over and sidles over to me-

<Kat: "... Hello, Tracer...">

"Oh, hello Kat. Did you guys do alright while I was out?"

Yeah, you did Tangent.

Nudi: -Surprised- <Basket had a crush on Muddy?>

Tropius: -Facefoots-

With Gene

Muddy: <I get the strangest feeling that someone mentioned me being with Basket.>

Hoenn Desert

"Hmmm.... sounds like Tracer, at least." Frowns.

Meanwhile the Sandslash is walking around until she decides to sit on the ground again near the others.

Sandslash♀: <Uhm... if you are going to look for my brother, can I come with you?>
