ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Inn

-wakes up- Did I sleep on the floor again? I should really get my own room soon. -sees Anom- Now who is that? -pokes the sleeping Anom- Oh, well. -lies back down on floor next to Every, who is also sleeping.-

Mossdeep

Okay, Odette. I think it is time to try out the other HM move I taught you: Fly.

Odette: <Where to?>

I need you to take me to Fallarbor so I can teach Tulip the attacks Lilligant learn by training through the move re-learner.

Odette: <Ah, I see. That should be no problem.>

Swindle: <... Can't I just steal the move re-learner and bring him here?>

Uh...

Swindle: <It doesn't even have to be the one in Fallarbor! I could steal one from one of the other regions!>

... No thanks, Swindle.

Route 209

Rex: *has woken up and recalled all of his mons, except two*

Rascal: *is sniffing at the sludge trail from last night* <No doubt about it; this is poison.>

Rex: Okay, Pierce, you got some 'splainin to do.

Pierce: <Awww...>

In a certain ruin deep underwater

I haven't been here in a while. Not since before I went to Unova for the first time.

Nudi: <The last time we were here was kind of weird.>

Forecaster: -Is floating from wall to wall, the Castform having recovered after a large amount of distance was placed between them and Mossdeep- <So Unown live here right?>

Nudi: <Yeah, they did some weird stuff and teleported us all to the Sinjoh Ruins.>

Tropius: -Looks around- <Guys...>

What is it Tr-Notices that we are completely surrounded by Unown-

Xatu: -Completely calm- <Oh wonderful, reminds me of home.>

Steel: -Starts bashing his tail on the ground out of fright- <I don't want to be part of the collective!>

Unown I: <Greetings human and partners, we have things to show you.>

-We are all surrounded by a yellow glow as the Unown teleport us away-

Mossdeep, several minutes later

- After taking a quick trip over to Fallarbor to teach Tulip some moves in exchange for Heart Scales (and sending Swindle back to PC Storage on the way there), we return to Mossdeep so Tulip can practice her new moves in preparation for our upcoming gym battle -

Tulip: <All of these are dancing moves, and I'm not not used to this body yet, yes. I'm still clumsy, yes...>

- Pats Tulip's shoulder -

Relax, I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off.

Inside the Pokémon Center

Odette: (is fixing up her feathers)

Marionette: (floats over) <I haven't given up on finding something that scares you, you know.>

Odette: (sweatdrops) <Oh, is that so?>

Route 209

- Lina's Pokemon are loitering around when Terry approaches Pandinus. -

Pandinus: Eh? I thought you were sleeping?

Terry: No time for that. I need to get stronger if I want to fight crime. Can you fight me?

Pandinus: Sorry, I'm not gonna beat up on a little Eevee. I do have standards.

Terry: Very well then. - Turns to the others- What about you all?

Axel: No.

Yomi: I wouldn't feel good Toxicing the newbie...

Herbert: I don't want to squish you...

Gino: Why don't you ask that Rex human's Eeveelutions?

Chrome: Gino's solution does make sense... they're the same species, after all.

Terry: Alright, then.

- He wanders off to find Rex. -

Gino: That Eevee is weird, nyan.

Rex: So, you're telling me that in your dreams you were visited by the ghosts of murdered Nidos who bestowed their abilities onto you and gave you poison barbs as a means of letting you befriend Maekrite?

Pierce: <Yep~>

Rex: ... ... ... *sweatdrops* I'd better call Silent about this. And Kim...

Rascal: *licks Pierce carefully, avoiding the poisoned quills* <There there. Everything will be alright.>

Pierce: <Silly papa; I'm not sad. :3>

Route 209

- Terry arrives at Rex's tent and notices all the sludge.-

Terry: Did a Muk rob you? Because I'll teach that pile of sludge a lesson if need be.

Mossdeep Pokémon Center

Marionette: (pulls out a few small piles of papers) <Surely there must be something that scares you.>

Odette: <... Is that a list you made of things you haven't asked me about yet?>

Marionette: <Well... Mostly.> (picks up one of the piles of paper) <Let's start with this one, shall we?> (accidentally pulls a paper clip off it as she picks it up, causing the papers to fall out of her hands) <Oops...>

Odette: (looks at the paperclip, gasps) <What is that thing!?>

Marionette: <...? It's... just a paperclip.>

Odette: <AAAH!> (backs away from Marionette) <KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!>

Marionette: <Wha-?>

Odette: (flies out through the nearest open window as fast as possible)

Marionette: <...> (stares at the paperclip) <... No way.>

Outside

- Odette giggles to herself as she lands near me and Tulip -

Tulip: <What was that all about, yes?>

Odette: (chuckles) <I had to do something to make her stop!>

Artemis: (walks over) <Oh, Odette, that's so clever of you!>

Odette: (grins)

-Is asleep, but feels poked-

Rascal: <Oh, hello, little Eevee. :3> *listens* <Oh, no, we were not robbed. Rex was just, err...practicing a new technique with us.>

Rex: *sending Silent a text about Pierce's condition*

Route 209

Terry: Hmmm... I was wondering if you or that Jolteon I see over there could battle me?

Above the planet

You Unown really love your scenic views don't you?

Artemia: -Has a look on her face that can only be described as "Wow..."-

Helios: <I can see everywhere from here.>

Tropius: <I'm going to assume that the reason we haven't all died is because of the Unown.>

Unown K: <Come.>

-We all get moved to directly above Sinnoh-

Sinnoh...why is it that we're always coming back to you.

Unown K: <Once again, the winds of fate will drag you to your destiny.>

Unown E: <The Natu and Xatu of the Sevii you met knew this, a prophecy centuries in the making.>

Helios: -A little disturbed- <Tagg, what's it talking about?>

Unown K: <Silver souled one, you and Pokemon will have a major part to play in this.>

-Starts thinking back to what Uxie told me regarding the keystone in my backpack months ago-

Guess I'll be finding out what she meant by that soon enough, since the Adamant Orb did prove pretty useful with that whole alternate timeline business...I bet she knew what would happen from the beginning. Omniscience and all that.

Unown I: <And now for the visions.>

-My vision suddenly fills with white light-

Route 209

Pierce: <Oh oh! Let me do it! >

Rascal: *sweatdrops* <Erm...alright. Just be careful.>

Pierce: <Yay~>

Route 209

Terry: Alright, I'll get my Trainer.

- He wanders off. A few minutes later he arrives with Lina and her other Pokemon in tow.-

Terry: Let the show begin.

Route 209

Rex: *finishes sending a text to Kim* Alright, now let's... eh? *notices Pierce going outside and follows* What's going on?

Pierce: <We're having a battle! :3>

Rex: Oh...okay. Don't use any poison.

Pierce: <Awwww...>

Rex: *turns and lets out his other mons to wander around while the battle commences*

Rascal: <Hmmm...I hope they don't fight too hard.>

Random Miltank: *is sitting with Rascal* Moo. :3

Rascal: <...> *blinks* <Erm...hello?>

Mossdeep City: Space Center

Kim: *speaking with a scientist about the strange weather* Hmmm... *gets a text* Oh, excuse me for a moment. *checks her messages* ...Oh, Pierce evolved! And it says here that he h- ... ... ... *blinks* ...I'd better call Silent. U_U

Streets of Mossdeep

Silent is walking around trying to convince a boat driver to take him to a very    dangerous    location from which no sailor comes back [alive], to no avail.

"...Oh?" Checks them. "...Again with the souls? Darn... do I have to sic [Inka] on those people?" Autodeletes and decides to check the other messages.

"...? What the..." Turns around. "Maekrite come here AT ONCE!!!"

The aforementioned Nidorino runs from some bushes where he and Algira were inspecting some abandoned berries.

Maekrite: <...What? What happened?>

"We have to talk about something, Maekrite. Come and sit..."

Route 209

Lina: OK... what moves does Terry know?

Chrome: He said he learned Curse from one of his parents...

Lina: OK, Terry, start with that!

-Terry starts saying words not printable here, while glowing with a purple aura.-

Mossdeep City

- Tulip is getting ready to practice her dancing moves -

Okay, Tulip! Let's start with Quiver Dance!

Tulip: (nervously) <Okay, yes...>

Odette: (walks up to Tulip) <Now, don't be nervous. I'm sure you can do this despite your clumsiness!>

Tulip: <A-Are you sure, yes?>

Odette: <Positive. And how about I help you practice?>

Tulip: <Really? You'd do that, yes?>

Odette: <Of course!> (puts her wing around Tulip) <You're my best friend, Tulip!>

Tulip: (would smile if she could) <Thank you, yes.>

Odette: <So, let's dance!>

- The two begin practicing, although Tulip seems to have difficulty keeping her balance, and keeping up with Odette -

Route 209

Rex: Eep! Cover your ears, Pierce. O_O

Pierce: *covers his ears with his paws, wondering what a [REDACTED] is*

Rex: *waits for Terry to finish* Phew. Okay, now try a Quick Attack.

Pierce: *speeds at Terry*

Route 209: Near Lost Tower

Mantisk: *sitting in the shade of some nearby trees, watching a few nearby Roselia out of the corners of his eyes* <Hmm...>

Aloise: *is inspecting a crumbled tower* <Hmmm...what an unusual structure. I wonder if it's anything important.>

Amia: <Oh! What's that large building over there? :3>

Tanith: <Perhapsss we should invessstigate.> *heads over*

Route 209

Yomi: I want to know how an Eevee his age learned such foul language...

Terry: - is hit by the Quick Attack, but isn't too hurt thanks to Curse- You're going to have to try harder than that.

Lina: OK! Use your own Quick Attack!

- Terry dashes forward, disregarding his Speed drop-

Route 209

Pierce: <Oof!> *is tackled* <Oh yeah? Well, try this!> *shoots a Poison Sting at Terry*

Rex: I said no Poison moves. >_<

Pierce: <Oops. I forgot. ._.>

Lost Tower

Amia: *flies in* <Hehe; this place is spooky!> *sees a Bibarel in monk's clothing* <...Hello! :3>

Monk Bibarel: <Ah, hello. Welcome to Lost Tower. This is where trainers come to pay their respects to their passed away Pokemon.>

Amia: <Awww...poor Pokemon.>

Tanith: *slithers over* <I sssee. We did not mean to intrude, ssso we will leave now.>

Monk Bibarel: <Thank you for your respect. I would like to reward you for your courtesy.>

Amia: <Wow, thanks~ :3>

Tanith: <Yesss, thank you.> *gives the TM to Amia to hold, holding the tag in her mouth; turns to leave*

Duskull: *is right behind her* <...>

Tanith: <...>

Duskull: <...WAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH! A snake! D:> *flees through the tower wall in terror*

Tanith: <...Ssseriousssly? U_U>

Amia: *lands on her head and hugs her*

Elsewhere on Route 209

Doduo: *running along towards Solaceon Town*

Head 1: <We are a long way from Route 201!>

Head 2: <Yes!>

Head 1: <But we heard that people raise Doduo here!>

Head 2: <Yes!>

Head 1: <Our swarm left, so we will ask the other Doduo where they are now!>

Head 2: <Yes!>

Head 1: <We will be home soon!>

Head 2: <Verily!>

Mossdeep

- Is watching Odette help Tulip practice -

Elsewhere in Mossdeep

Veronica: (is looking for Alastor, who has gone off on his own again)

Mt. Pyre

- Alastor is not in the Spirit World, but at Mt. Pyre, talking to a random wild Ninetales -

Alastor: <This sure is a nice place for the dead to rest.>

The Ninetales: (nods)

Alastor: <So, this is also where the Red and Blue Orbs are located?>

The Ninetales: (nods)

Alastor: <I see. Well, don't worry about me. I won't disturb anything.>

The Ninetales: (nods, and walks away)

Katie: -is sleeping, hugging Icicle close to her-

Mossdeep

- My X-transceiver rings -

Huh? Oh, it's Sierra again?

- Answers -

Hello?

Sierra: (on the phone) Oh, hi DS! Did you get my text message?

Yeah, I did. So, you and Vyvyan are in Mossdeep now?

Sierra: (on the phone) Uh-huh! And guess what? This Latias friend of Pentigan lent Vyvyan an armband to allow him to turn back into a human!

Really? How nice!

Sierra: (on the phone) Yeah. And as it turns out, Vyvyan and I both have feelings for eachother, and we're going on a date later!

Oh, really? Is that so?

Sierra: (on the phone) Yeah... I'm kind of nervous, but I look forward to it. Oh, and by the way, your friend Pentigan thinks the Team Ozone hideout might be hidden in the skies.

The skies? I guess that makes sense...

Sierra: (on the phone) Yeah... We're not sure exactly where it is, so let us know if you see anything unusual.

Sure.

Sierra: (on the phone) Okay, thanks. Anyways, I should go now. Bye!

Bye!
