ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

I don't mean crush him physically, I don't want to completely crush his spirit. I'll leave pummeling him as a last resort, but I'd rather keep trying less extreme methods for now. At least while he's really young. So... no, I guess.

-turns to Crow-

I think you wanted a battle, though.

Goldenrod Streets, Location 1

Crow: Oh, yes. I did want that. I need to heal my Pokemon first, but that's what Potions are for? Where did you want to have it, here?

Goldenrod Gym

Fortis: Uh huh!

What are you laughing about?

Goldenrod Streets

Pianis: And nice to meet you as well.

Trip, having been wandering around, overheard Sakura's statement.

"Your looking for you sister, eh? Don't bother, they're not worth it."

Sure, why not? I'm ready here.

Angela-B

<Gorga: "... A console... Right...">

-And begins sniffing around for one-

<Pepper: "Would they still exist after this long?!">

-To the Archeops, a bit reluctantly-

<Lardna: "... Er... Say... You wouldn't happen to remember how to work computers, would you?">

<(?): "Bah, an ancient artifact! Who do you think you're talking to? Research was my practice back in the court university!">

<Moogle: "Eh? He really knows all about this stuff?">

<Eir: "Well hey, it's worth a shot...">

Vermillion College Campus - Past

-Panicking a bit at Hatchet's statement-

<Vektor: "H-Huh?! N-No! I-I'm not! I'm a n-normal Fraxure like a-anyone else!">

Schrodinger's Location in Johto

-A massive plume of water erupts into the air-

-And a blue blur can be seen bursting up from the brush-

<Johto!Suicune: "Oh hey, guys!">

-And comes to rest before the three-

<Johto!Suicune: "Ah... Aren't you supposed to be in Sinnoh or something?" ^_^;>

Route 34

-Ratchet attempts to pounce on the Abra yet again, only for it to blink away and reappear ten feet to the left-

Ratchet: <Are you even capable of fighting, or only fleeing?>

Abra: <Call it what you want, I call it driving you crazy~>

-the Abra giggles and Ratchet takes the chance to tackle it-

Abra: <Augh! @_@>

Goldenrod Gym

Just seems like a weird Gym theme. -heads further in, walking up and down the raised pathways when necessary-

-meanwhile, Nitro is hopping alongside Fortis, poking her-

Goldenrod Gym

-after a few uneventful battles, Fortis comes up to Whitney-

Fortis: Hi, miss pretty girl!

Goldenrod Streets

Eskay is going around the city, slightly paranoid about something. He crosses paths with Crewe and Crow

Eskay: Oh, hey Crewe, hey Sakura, hey Straw, hey... um... Crow, right...

He briefly glances around.

Sakura: -crosses her arms and looks at the side with a look of regret- Yeah... My family was going on a trip and we were on a cave in Sinnoh, but while I was there I was playing with my father's recently born Sandshrew, that one was special though, it already knew Earthquake even as a kid.

Seth: <It's not that special though...>

Sakura: Me, being a stupid, dumb kid asked him to show off the move. On a cave.

Goldenrod Gym

-stands off to the side to watch, Nitro climbing up to his head-

-Breeze lets himself out and examines Nitro- <That's my spot...>

...Ouch. Have you ever found a clue as to where she's gone?

Goldenrod Streets, Location 1

-Crow is healing his Pokemon before the battle and listening to Sakura's story-

Crow: Alright. I'll try not to do anything that might    burn    down Route 35 this time.

-notices Eskay-

Crow: Yes, my name is Crow, and hello. Also, it seems like something's troubling you.

Route 34

-Ratchet's maw glows with fire and he's about to Flamethrower the Abra at point-blank range, when half a dozen Kadabra teleport around them in a circle-

Kadabra #1: <And what do you think you're doing?>

Ratchet: -pauses- <Would you accept 'nothing'?>

Kadabra #2: <No. No we would not.>

Vermilion Campus

Hatchet: ...OK, I know from that tone of voice something is up.

Somewhere in Johto

Crown!Raikou: Way to jynx us, smoke-mane.

Crown!Entei: Hey, how was I supposed to know our cousins were that close by?

Crown!Suicune: Cousin! :D -nuzzles Johto!Suicune- Have you beaten back any space invaders lately?

Goldenrod Streets

Eskay: Yeah, something's definitely troubling me, but it's something I doubt you would really understand all that well...

Goldenrod Streets, Location 1

Crow: Well, now you've made me interested. Therefore, you must tell me.

"... So you lost your parents, and possibly your sister, because you couldn't wait to see a Sandshrew's earthquake. And also... this may sound heartbreaking... but how can you be sure... if your sisters not..."

Sakura: -turns to face Straw still with the regretful expression- No... I wandered everywhere searching for her, but never found anything.

Seth: <That's tough>

Sakura: It's amazing really, my life was perfect, I had a great family, had all kinds of adventures with my sister and had my little Growlithe to make me company when I was feeling down. Then one single, stupid, decision made me suddenly see my parents being crushed by rocks before my own eyes -starts tearing up-... My sister's gone and I was left alone with Grant. L-Life is very cruel sometimes, that was a lesson that I learned after that. I'm such an idiot, that I had to ruin my own life! -breaks down in tears-

Route 34

Ratchet: <...You know I'm part Dark-type, right? I don't think you have much that can—>

<Ack!> -Ratchet barely has time to fling himself out of the way-

Abra: <Heehee!>

Ratchet: -glares- <Oh, shut—> -is zapped by a Charge Beam- <Ouch!>

-Crewe places a hand on Sakura's arm-

At least, when my life was ruined, it wasn't my fault... And that even turned out pretty good...

-she places a hand on a Pokeball-

Mariposa, PMD-B

Vault Dweller: -Pointing at a console right next to the forcefield- You mean this one?

Right...How the hell did I miss that?

Angela-B

<Maurice: "... So we're supposed to break it, or...?">

<Bottles: "I would assume that the solution's a bit more fine-tuned than that...">

Schrodinger's Location In Johto

<Johto!Suicune: "No, but I did escape Eusine again...">

-Beaming-

<Johto!Suicune: "While frozen.

... Say do the others know that you're here by any chance?">

<Johto!Entei: "Ahem...">

-And a pair of other gerbils burst from the brush-

<Johto!Raikou: "ARGH! Why are you idiots here?!">

<Johto!Suicune: "Er... Ahehehe... Looks like they know now...">

-Sparking-

<Johto!Raikou: "You wanna know how many Space Invaders we've defeated, you morons? Stand right there, we'll throw three Personal Space Invaders to the tally!">

<Johto!Suicune: "... But they're not invading our personal space-">

<Johto!Raikou: " THEY'RE IN MY REGION! THAT COUNTS AS A VIOLATION OF PERSONAL SPACE! " X( >

-Giving an unamused look to the three shiny gerbils-

<Johto!Entei: "Anyhow, why are you here? We actually have work to tend to in this region, you know!">

Vermillion - College Campus - Sometime in the Past

-Stammering, rather visibly panicking-

<Vektor: "I-I- A-Aah!">

-And attempts to run away-

-Crow gets a Poke Ball ready as well-

Crow: Alright, I'll start out with Fisher!

-releases Fisher from the ball-

Fisher: Time for battle again?
