ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Indigo Plateau

Sakura calls Rawst's phone, in the meantime, Hercules and Atlas get separated from the group for a bit.

"<Those two really have issues.>" said Atlas.

"<I liked them though, seems like a fun bunch when they're in their best moods.>" said Hercules, cheerfully

They then comes across Ammy and Every, and hear the word "honey"

"<What's that about honey?>" asked Hercules, curious

Atlas just sighs in annoyance.

Indigo Plateau

Uh? I have a bit in my backpack...

Indigo League

Human!Ammy: Oh, OK! -to Hercules- Hi again!

Issun: -is pet- ^w^

Indigo League, elsewhere

-Monty is pacing in front of some Drilbur and Finn-

Monty: <Now, I have an assignment for you all...>

Indigo Plateau

"<Really? Could you give us some?>" asked Hercules, happily, before noticing something "<Hey... I just noticed, you all can understand us, that's weird, most of the other ones like you two couldn't understand us.>"

"<By the way, he's a honey freak, don't mind him.>" said Atlas.

Indigo Plateau

-Breeze continues petting Issun-

Uh...yeah, I understand Pokemon. A lot of us here right now do.

-hands over some honey-

Indigo League, elsewhere

-Finn makes a Gible noise, specifically a speaking noise-

Finn: <What is it, Sarge?>

Mt. Silver

Rawst:Yeah, that's probably the best idea

-due to the altitude, Rawst's phone doesn't pick up Sakura's call-

Indigo Plateau

-Straw finds the group-

Oh, there you guys are. What's up? I feel like I've missed something. Not counting the orb...

Pewter

Brock:Rock Polish, then Rock Slide!

-Golem Speeds up using Rock Polish, then Smashes a rock over Batali-

Indigo Plateau

(to Straw) Not so much. Some people are taking their challenges.

Pewter Gym

Zeal: Try Detect again!

-Batali's eyes glow, but he is hit before he can get out of the way-

Zeal: Damn...

Pokémon League

-Fortis walks up to the guard in front of the Elite Four rooms, holding Mercury-

Guard: Are you ready to face the Elite Four? They're really tough!

Fortis: Uh huh. I'm ready!

Guard: Then enter, challenger.

-the guard steps aside, and Fortis walks in-

Indigo Plateau, elsewhere

-the screen showing challengers comes on-

Oh! I think she's starting!

Forte: I bet she's gonna lose to the first one.

Gee, that's a nice thing to say about your sister.

Pianis: No, I don't think so. I mean, she managed to take down a Rock trainer before we arrived here.

Forte: Wait, really?

Pokémon League, Will's room

-Fortis walks into the room, and Will notices her-

Will: Welcome to the Pokémon League! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Will. I have trained all around the world, making my Psychic-type Pokémon powerful. And, at last, I've been accepted into the Elite Four. I can only keep getting better! Losing is not an option!

Fortis: Well, I'm gonna be an Elite Four someday too! I'm not gonna lose!

Mercury: <We won't let you down, boss.>

-Will sends out a Xatu, while Fortis lets go of Mercury-

Mercury: <Let's go, boss.>

Fortis: Use Faint Attack!

-Mercury dashes up to the Xatu, and then hits it with a peck from behind-

Will: Xatu, use Confuse Ray!

Xatu: <O~hohoho~!>

-the Xatu hits Mercury with a ray of light-

Mercury: <Who turned out the lights, boss?>

Indigo Plateau

"Hm... I think there's no signal." said Sakura, disappointed.

"I wonder where he went to, that's weird." commented Lyuri

"Mt.Silver, I was hearing them talk." said Grant

"Oh, Alden, can you get me there?" asked Lyuri, before turning to Sakura "I'll bring them here, don't worry."

Sakura and Alden both nodded in response and Alden teleports Lyuri to Mt.Silver, meanwhile:

"<That's cool, things are much easier this way.>" said Hercules, opening the jar of honey

Mt.Silver

Lyuri may or may not appear near Rawst and Eskay.

-wakes up-

I could've sworn that that Xatu did a Noblewoman's Laugh...

Scarlett: She did. Kind of weird for a Xatu...

Indigo Plateau

-pats Hercules on the head, and looks up at the screen-

Uh-oh...that's gonna be problematic.

Mt. Silver

Rawst:-sees Lyuri appear- Lyuri!? How did you—Oh, Teleport, duh.

Caroline glares at the Hydreigrunt. "You may have recruited these two, but I am still their commanding officer. And you may have a type advantage, but I have been training the underdogs for years. I will break you."

She sighs. "It has been very long since I have seen the two of you, my children. But yes, I am Lady Caroline. Once the bombs dropped, I was changed into a Jellicent."

She looks to the sky. "Now, what have I told you since the day you joined my army? YOU DO NOT FIGHT FOR MONEY. It makes you worse than humans!"

Indigo Plateau - Bruno's Room.

Psyche walks in and immediately starts burning up. ~Dear Arceus, stupid lava pits.~

She walks up to Bruno. "I am Bruno of the Elite Four. I always train to the extreme because I believe in our potential. That is how we became strong. Can you withstand our power? Hm? I see no fear in you. You look determined. Perfect for battle! Ready, <player>? You will bow down to our overwhelming power! Hoo hah!"

~Did you just call me <player>?~

"Shut up. It's been a long day. Forgive me from reading straight from the cue card. And you appear to be a psychic trainer? Giving you a heads up, it's going to be tough from here on out."

~Understood.~

Battle! Psychic Psyche Vs. Elite 4 Bruno!

Psyche sends out Dixie!

Bruno sends out Hitmonchan!

~Hmm...~

Psyche gulps. ~I don't know if you can handle another one of those.~

She tries for a last ditch effort move.

Psyche sighs a breath of relief when Dixie doesn't go down.

Indigo Plateau

Human!Ammy: I'm not quite human, silly!

-notices a screen-

Oh! Miss Fortis is doing her challenge!

Elsewhere

Monty: <You're gonna infiltrate Diglett Cave and get info on Major Burrows!>

Elite Four, Will's room

Fortis: Oh no! Don't give up! Use Faint Attack again!

-Mercury shakes his head a moment-

Mercury: <You got it, boss.>

-Mercury slips through the shadows again, a little disoriented this time, and manages to hit the Xatu with a wing whirl-

Xatu: <Ow!>

-causing it to fall over-

Xatu: <How dare you...>

Will: Hmm... not bad.

-Will recalls Xatu and sends out a Jynx-

Jynx: <Oh, and who would this lovely be?>

Fortis: Use Faint Attack again!

-Mercury dashes straight into a wall-

Mercury: <Ow, boss.>

Jynx: <Boss? I'm not your boss!>

Will: Jynx, use Lovely Kiss.

Jynx: <Oh, fine!>

-the Jynx walks over to Mercury and plants a kiss on his cheek-

Mercury: <Uh... was that supposed to do anything, boss? It just made my head feel a lot clearer.>

Jynx: <It didn't work? What is this madness?>

Fortis: Use Faint Attack one more time!

-Mercury does the dash properly this time, and hits the Jynx right in the face-

Jynx: <Oof!>

Will: Use Blizzard.

Fortis: Quick! Use Fly!

-the Jynx blows out a blast of icy breath, but Mercury simply flies out of the way-

-Mercury then swoops in with a dive, knocking the Jynx to the floor-

Will: Impressive.

-Will then sends out his Slowbro-

Fortis: Use Fly again!

Will: Use Curse.

-the Slowbro mutters something incomprehensible as Mercury files up; then, he dives down-

Mercury: <Here I come, boss!>

-he swoops down, but the Slowbro barely budges-

Will: Strike with Water Pulse!

-Mercury then gets hit by a sphere of water-

Mercury: <Ow, boss.>

Fortis: Keep attacking!

Mercury: <You got it, boss.>

-Mercury flies over to the Slowbro, grabs its fist with one of his talons, and smacks it right in the face-

Will: Hmm. Water Pulse again.

-this allows the Slowbro to fire a Water Pulse at point-blank range, sending Mercury flying across the room-

-he flops down on the ground-

Mercury: <I did good, boss...>

Mt.Silver

"Sakura's back at the league, I already did your job of helping her out, I'm expecting a payment." joked Lyuri, with her arms folded.

"Did you two really think I'd bring her here?" said Alden, a tad annoyed.

Indigo League

"<Then what are you?>" asked Atlas, to Ammy

"<Who?>" asked Hercules as he is patted.

Indigo Plateau

Fortis is a friend of ours.

Katie: -watching Fortis' match on a monitor-

-gasps-

Fortis is really good!

Indigo Plateau, elsewhere

Finn: <Major Burrows?>

Trip may or may not be near Ammy.

Ditto for Lily.

Mt. Silver

Eskay: ...I honestly didn't know what you would've done... I mean, I wouldn't expect you to bring her here, but then again, I didn't expect what amounted to a suicide wish from her of all people... Not much else "middle of the ocean" can mean there...

Mt. Silver

Rawst:Yeah, there wasn't much for us to go on... -shivers a bit- I think we should get going though.
