Fortree, a couple hours ago
"So... What are you up to, Gene?"
<Gene: "Meh, not much. Just wanted to stop by for a bit before heading off elsewhere.">
<Milo: "Like always.">
"Hmm... Well... I noticed that you have a vacant team slot left... Did you need someone to fill it?"
<Gene: "Sure... I guess... Did anyone with you want to come?">
"Actually... I think I'd like to send Thog, if he was alright with it...">
-Being interrupted from the middle of a poem-
<Thog: "I'm sorry, what was that?">
"By trading."
<Thog: "Trading? Why on earth wouldn't you just- OH!">
A short time later, visiting a Pokecenter, in front of a pair of terminals
"Things clear on your side, Gene?"
<Gene: "Yeah, they are.">
"Good, he's all yours then."
-And we complete a trade-
Now, somewhere in Western Hoenn
<Audrey: "Well? What do you think?">
<Thog: "Hmm... Not bad... Feels a little awkward though... Is that normal?">
<Milo: "It better be normal for all the hoops we jumped through!">
<Gene: "If I remember right... Tracer said that Machamp undergo a few changes with their evolution... One of the biggest was that they kinda had trouble with delicate tasks...">
<Milo: "I'd say sprouting an extra set of arms is bigger than tha- OW!">
-Is backhanded by Audrey-
<Audrey: "Quiet!">
<Thog: "Meh. It seems like a fair tradeoff. Besides... I'm pretty certain that it won't stop me from the delicate tasks that I'm interested in...">
<Milo: "Reciting poetry is a task no- WHOA!">
-And hastily puts up a Protect to stop a punch from Thog, and is sent back skidding a bit-
<Milo: "Geez! For a flowery guy, he hits hard!">
<Thog: "As I was saying... I'm sure that this form won't stop me from my interests.">
<Gene: "Heh. We're sure too, Thog...">
Now, In Fallarbor
<Nadia: "I can't believe that all of the hotels in this town are full!">
<Teala: "Yeah... You'd think that they were purposely misleading us or something...">
Mezzery's Room
Kim: Sure thing. Now, erm...how should I go about this? I probably can't carry both Blossom and Youko on a Flying-type.
Youko: <Why not send me back to Almia for the new guy?> *yawns* <I've had enough excitement for a week anyway.>
Kim: Oh...well, if you say so. *sends a message via her Styler*
Several Moments Later
Maria: *appears, dropping of Glaze and Clover and picking up Youko and Blossom*
Kim: Alright; shall we be off?
Glaze: *sniff sniff* <Hey...this is Hoenn!
>

Route 120
Ad Min: Are you 100% certain about this, sir?
"Well, we haven't had any luck finding a room, so it looks like we'll just have to rough it out for a while. Besides, I've heard good things about Secret Bases..."
Treeo: <Hey, I've found something!>
-We all go over to Treeo, who has found a very large bush in a tall patch of grass overlooking a lake.-
"Nice find, Tree! Is it hollow?"
Treeo: <Yeah, there should be plenty of room in here.>
"Alright. Ad Min? Do your thing."
Ad Min: Affirmative. Running Program: Secret Power.exe.
-The Porygon Z glows with a bright light, then fires a beam at the front of the bush. The energy from teh attack causes some of branches making up sides of the plant to receed, revealing an entrance.-
Woolly: <Oh, that was cool!>
Stratus: <Yeah, I didn't know there was even a move that could do that!>
Crowley: <Well, Hidden Power isn't a move ya' see everyday.>
"Okay, let's have a look inside."
-We all enter one by one, Comet in-particular being careful not to set anything on fire accidently with her tail-flame.-
-Is busy cutting through the grass surrounding my Secret Base with an Aura machete-
Tropius: <I wonder if I'll see my old herd while we're here, I haven't seen them in a while.>
-Shrugs while continuing to hack and slash-
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.- Heads over to Route 118 after getting to Mauville, has Crush carry me a short distance over the water that's in the way and begins heading over to Route 119 -
Hmm... Looker said something about weird weather in Fortree, but it seems to be raining here, so either it only affected Fortree, or it is already back to normal by now.
Odette: <I like rain!>
- I pull out an umbrella from my backpack -
Well, let's just get through here, shall we?
Meanwhile, further up on the route
- Alastor searches through some tall grass -
Alastor: <Hmm... Not here...> (tries to remember where he had it last)
Fortree, Pokémon Center
- Fantasy hovers next to the window, looking somewhat worried -
Octavia: <Don't worry.> (pats her back) <You know he always comes back.>
Fantasy: (sighs)
Route 120
<Nadia: "Ugh... I can't believe that we're seriously camping out...">
<Francis: "Hey, I like it...">
<Kat: "It's a bit closer to home anyways...">
<Zoltan: "And it'll be fun!">
<Nadia: "(*mumble*) I guess...">
"Come on guys, let's look for-"
-And catches Comet heading into a secret base-
"Huh? Did Luke find something?"
-And we head towards the secret base's entrance-
Comet: *Pauses, turning around to see Tracer and his team.* <Oh, hey! We have visitors!>
Crowley: <Already?> *Pokes his head out.* <Oh, hai!> \\|||| *Blinks.* <Why did I do 'dat?!>
-I also poke my head out.-
"Oh, hello everyone! We were just giving this whole Secret Base thing a go. Would you like to come in? There's a surprising amount of room in here."

Hoenn Desert
Silent walks in with the two 'shrews from the south. Since it is already night, it's not as hot. However it is still as sandstormy as ever and factoring the nighttime as well, Silent barely sees a thing.
"...Dintel? Dintel? Where are you?"
Dintel: <Right here!>
"But..." Silent looks down to the voice that is obviously besides him, to see nothing but flying sand. "I can't see you."
Dintel: <...Oh! I'm invisible then! Wheeeeee~> — the voice can be heard walking and circling around.
Sandslash♀: <Stand still, Dintel. Your trainer is talking to you...>
"...This is getting us nowhere... There was a house way back right before the entrance to the desert, perhaps it is a good idea to go spend the night there." Turns to where the voice seems to be coming from. "Now... which way was it?"
Dintel: <Oh, that's that way!> — points.
"...Dintel, I. can't. see. you. Ugh..." Silent takes a compass and checks it. "You know what? Let's find an hexagonal rock formation and sleep there. It should be safe."
Sandslash♀: <Oh! That rock formation! I remember it!>
"Really? Great! Which way was it?"
Sandslash♀: <Let me see... it's that way.> — points.
"..." Silent only sees flying sand.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?

Rex: Hmm...I should probably recall some of you so we can move easier. *recalls Breezy, Sulfur, and Rascal*
Rascal: <Hey!> *recalled*
Rex: Sorry, Rascal, but it's much harder to keep up with seven Pokemon than it is six. *places Pierce on his head and picks up Grey*
Fang: *still in his shirt*
Spathi: *floats down the hallway*
