ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ryoshima Coast

-Herbert raises an eyebrow at Fukurou.-

Herbert: ...You know, you remind me of someone, but I can't for the life of me figure out who. Who are you, exactly?

Ryoshima Coast

Andante: Who is this?

Sforzando: <Food?>

Ryoshima Coast

Fukurou: "Oh, my name's Fukurou, I'm the Warlord of Yaksha."

"Oh, and this is Shug."

Shug: -looking at Ammy- <Don't get any funny ideas.>

Fukurou: "Oh, and these are Andante and Sforzando."

-to Andnate- "This is the group that slayed the Spider Queen, Crimson Helm, and... I believe I heard something about Orochi too."

-Herbert raises his other eyebrow at Andante.-

Herbert: You know, you look familiar as well. My name's Herbert. My companion is Tagg, and I'm sure you've heard of Amaterasu here. I suppose you could call us travellers, though we slay demons in our spare time. Fukurou's assessment is pretty much correct.

-He turns back to Fukurou.-

Herbert: Nice to meet you two. So, you're a Warlord? Might I ask what exactly is going on in Ransei at the moment, sir? We haven't really had a chance to keep up with the news, because... well, you can probably tell that we don't have much contact with civilisation.

-Eyeing the new arrivals-

That guy kinda looks like Crow, and the girl looks a little bit like Mezzo, if she were a brunette. Legendary intervention, it has to be.

Yeah, what Herbert said.

Ryoshima Coast

Fukurou: "Well, nice to meet the three of you. Hopefully we can be frieeeeeends~."

"And as for what's going on, Pugilis fell to Spectra a while ago and Aiura called us here to presumably figure out what to do about that. A bit more eastward, the Warlord of Nixtorm has been conquering most of the nations in Eastern Ransei, including Dragnor and sister's friend, though sister is apparently trying to talk with him or something."

Ryoshima Coast

Herbert: Right. I'm not exactly familiar with Ransei's geography, but a lot of that sounds bad. Still, I'd like to meet this-

-He blinks, then does a double-take.-

Herbert: ...Wait, did you just say Pugilis has been taken by Spectra?

Ryoshima Coast

Ammy: <Nice to meet you all!> ^_^ They look like Crow, Gogie, and Mezzo...

Issun: <This is the great monster-slaying [Amaterasu!]>

Holon City

Umbra: I saw one person like you in my ranks once... I think she was bonded to your Gengar.

Holon Museum

Nico: There's a burger place nearby, come on!

-He leads her off, Bella slinking behind-

Holon City

"<Implying I know anything of how a Phione works.>" said Seth, quite deadpan.

"Why don't you ask for help from a certain breeder that you're quite familiar with and that currently is asking like a Pokémon Researcher and as such absolutely needs to know this stuff?" suggested Sakura, drinking a sip of tea.

Red Room

-After Dune attends to his Pokémon at the Nurse's Station, he comes back here with Garuda, Rill, and Hildr, who didn't take part in the final match.-

Hildr: <Wow, it looked like that really hurt...>

Rill: <Yep, but don't worry. They'll bounce back in no time.>

-A uniformed Eon Casino employee walks up to Dune, holding a velvet-lined box with a disk sitting in it.-

Eon Casino Employee: Here is your prize, sir. And please, come back any time.

-Dune takes the disk. It's old, but has a new label on it, "Softboil".-

Dune: Wow, now that's an old TM.

Eon Casino Employee: Yes. As you can see it's a TM for Softboil. Unfortunately, not a lot of Pokémon are known to be able to use it.

Dune: -- I think I know who could use this.

-Dune pockets the disk.-

Eon Casino Employee: We've also provided a room for you for the night. Here is your key. On the house, but only for tonight.

Hildr: <Yay, comfy pillows!>

Ryoshima Coast

...Yep, definitely Crow's ancestor.

-Upon hearing Herbert's exclamation-

Oh right, Umbra had his little dictator stint around now. This certainly complicates things. >_>

Ryoshima Coast

Fukurou: "Unfortunately, yes. I was unable to help because our troops were intercepted by a giant Dunsparce serpent."

Holon Museum

-Maggie follows-

Ryoshima Coast

-Herbert grits his teeth, and clenches the hilt of his sword.-

Herbert: I'm going to gut that bastard of a tyrant myself.

-He exhales, and tries to compose himself.-

Herbert: ...That's definitely bad news. Thank you for trying to help, though. Do you know what happened to the Pugilian Warlord?

Holon City

Jacob: -In a deadpan voice rivalling Seth- "That was rather unspecific, could you be a bit more clear if possible."

Cragspur

Kryiea: ".... We done? You've sat in here staring at me for the last seven hou-"

Celzvet: "You just blinked I win."

Kryiea: "What are you ta-"

Celzvet: "LOOK AN URSARING!" -He points upwards then dives out the window-

Kryiea: ".......... I'm sure there's a reason we lasted this long without being conquered. But for the life of me I have no idea what that reason is."

Ryoshima Coast

Fukurou: "I... don't, sadly."

Ryoshima Coast

-Eyebrow raise-

A giant Dunsparce, you say? Well, it's not exactly the strangest thing I've run into before.

Ryoshima Coast

- Ammy listens to the news with concern, though is confused at Herbert's determination to attack a Spectran Warlord.-

Issun: <Really gives you a feel [there's more going on than just us,] huh Tagg?>

Holon City

Sakura then takes her laptop out of her and starts typing on it

"Oh, you sure don't know? I believe you two are pretty good friends..." said Sakura, then showing a page full of Jacob x Hikari fanfics that is slowly scrolling to show even more "... Or more than that, according to the fandom." she finished, drinking another sip of her tea with a smile.

Seth in turn was just looking rather impressed.

Ryoshima Coast

Herbert: ...I see. Thank you for the information. Well, I know he's alive, at least, or else I wouldn't be standing here. Or maybe he had kids or got that Aiura lady pregnant, and so ensured the survival of his lineage down to me. Urgh, I hate time travel...

-He turns to Issun.-

Herbert: We're just a smaller part of a much larger story. We know that much, remember?

Ryoshima Coast

-To Issun-

Yeah, though I'd prefer that we stay out of their petty conflicts if we can help it. I'm sure there's someone unscrupulous enough around here to try extorting a god.

ALPHA MODE

Approaching Tererra's Borders, The Sky

Alphonse observes the giant sandstorm of doom.

"..."

"Oh dear."

<Ekhi: "What shall we do, dear?">

"Take us down to the gates. Let's see if we can get in from there. I still have yet to meet the new Warlord."

Ryoshima Coast

Issun: <That's what I [just said,] Herbert!>

Ammy: <Agreed with Tagg, though.> -to the Warlords- <Not that it isn't nice meeting you all!>

Holon City

Jacob: -Blinks a couple of times, but, unlike usually, he doesn't blush even a little- ".... If you didn't write all these I have no idea why you're showing me them. If you did that's rather impressive."

Beat

"Point made I'll try finding Hikari."

Ryoshima Coast

Celzvet: -Pops out of the water and sneaks up behind Fukurou very quickly, pulling another ridiculous hat out from the inside of his armor, adorned with what are best described as bicycle horns and gingerly places it on his head-

Ryoshima Coast

Fukurou: "It's nice meeting you too."

-Fukurou is once again ignorant of the things being placed on his head-

Terrera

Sabaku: Alright, everything seems to be in order. Sunspeed.

-The caravan leader nods and heads off. The sandstorm parts on schedule and the gates open.-

Kioji: We've got a flyer! Ten o' clock high!

-Sabaku looks up and squints. His eyes shoot open.-

Sabaku: Stop! STOP! That's a Volcarona!

-The nearby guards halt in their tracks as their Warlord runs off to meet the new arrival.-
