ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Umbra: Hello, Tagg! I recently completed part of my initiation to be a researcher!

Abel: He cleaned a Krokorok's teeth! and then a Zweilous' teeth!

- pause-

Umbra: So... do you know what's next?

That's it? At least with Luke we did that bird test. Obviously I'm going to have to give you something...tougher.

Umbra: - Gulps - Um... tougher? Like what?

Did they give you a food test or anything?

Umbra: No...

Tiamat: Lemme guess. He's got to feed something big and dangerous, doesn't he?

-is with DS-

Nah, the food test is relatively safe actually. Now this...

A certain lake somewhere in Hoenn

Now, you're going to have to put a tracker on the Pokemon that lives in this lake.

- Looking at some different things at the Department Store -

Hmm... Anything interesting around here?

-is examining some Timer Balls- Hm?

Lilycove City

Silent goes to the Dept. Store to engage in some last-minute shopping before taking the boat to Mossdeep City, because he's already spent more time than expected in the city out-of-universe.

Vaporeon: -looking at herbs with Ichtacya, who seems rather excited by the assortment on display-

Ichtacya -points to a random herb: <Oh! And this one is very good for allergies! Friggin' Bug types...>

Algira is flying around when she sees Ichtacya and Vaporeon at the herb shop.

Algira: <Teeeeee-oh wait, that's not Aqua...?> — goes flutter around them.

Anything here you find interesting, Wolf?

Yeah, I was just wondering whether or not I should get Skywalker one of these. -indicates a shelf of Sneasel plushies- To remind him of Crewe, y'know?

Vaporeon: <Oh, hello.>

Oh, I see.

Algira flies down to Aqua's level.

Algira: <Hello there! A-are you a Vaporeon from the group?>

Ichtacya: <Silly, this is Wolf's Vaporeon. Hey,> — turns to Vaporeon — <this is Algira.>

Algira buzzes a sort-of-welcome, avoiding triggering her Intimidation patterns.

Algira: <You were gone for quite a while.> — to Vaporeon — <A pleasure!>

Vaporeon: <It is very nice to meet you.>

What about you? Anything interesting?

Hmm... Well, there certainly is a lot of interesting things here... Not really sure what I want to buy, though. Apart from restocking on certain healing items.

-Jet has given up his search for Icicle, Every, Salamence, and Amanita-

Jet: I swear, if I see them again I'm having Drought roast them alive...

I think I saw some Revives nearby, if you were looking for them.

Algira: <Thanks~> — dances around Vaporeon and Ichtacya for a moment.

Ichtacya: <...What are you doing here anyway?>

Algira: <Oh, well Trainer is going to [Mossdeep] so we are buying stuff...>

Ichtacya drops her ears and answers in a low voice.

Ichtacya: <...Leaving?>

Oh, don't worry about that. I already have plenty of revives, so I don't think that'll be necessary.

Vaporeon: -</3-

Vaporeon: -presses her forehead against Ichtacya- <Cheer up. I'm sure we'll see each other all the time.> -smiles, putting on a brave face-

Oh, okay then. -smiles at her, then holds her hand-

With Vaporeon

Ichtacya sads as well.

Ichtacya: <B-but, awww... >.<> — turns to Algira — <Can you ask if we can reach you in Mossdeep later?>

Algira ponders for a moment, fluttering around, then hovers in a "nod".

Algira': <It's not like you'll miss much there anyway, considering that he is busy with research. I'll try something, see you later...>

Algira pats Vaporeon and Ichtacya and then flutters away.

Without Vaporeon

Maekrite is standing right before Silent, who is holding not food, but papers and cases.

Maekrite: <Awww come on! You can't be that busy with research!>

"I am. Now move, Maekrite, or we're going to get late."

Maekrite -points at Dintel with a paw: <B-but you fed the Sandshrew!>

Dintel: <I'm full~ :3> — hugs an empty can of Pokéfood.

Silent sighs, shoves Maekrite away and walks past the entrance.

Dintel! :3 -hugs-

Vaporeon: -yips happily-
