ITT: We Have All Become Pokémon

"Ye-hrk-"

Philly pukes up some battery acid looking stuff.

"Eugh. You. Dont. Know. How. Long. I've. Been. Holding. That. In."

[Seeing her take off, I decide to follow through with what I had said and go get myself a Berry Cake. I go up to the stand labeled as such and, seeing as the cook, a Slow...bro, I think, the second-stage one, seems to be waiting on the oven—oh, so he's taking it out now—no, wait, he's putting it back in.]

[After the clanging (and as my fist hangs above the stand's countertop ready to knock and get their attention), I hear some noises behind the counter, sounds like someone waking up. Sure enough, a Drowzee appears from behind the counter, raising her (sounds like it) arms and yawning. The Slowbro then pulls the pan out and puts it back in again, making the same racket as before and startling me and the Drowzee.]

"Geez, Amelie, you don't have to be so—*yawn*—loud..."

[The Slowbro quickly snips back,] "Butit's gonnabe ready soon Ican't wait! Plusthis guy'sstanding here, he'llwant hisfood!"

"No, lemee—" [After a brief tussle,—funny enough involving the Slowbro spamming downward slaps against the Drowzee's face, which only elicits momentary displeasure from her coworker(?), the Drowzee holds Amelie away from the oven and checks the pastries herself, breathing a sigh of relief after I presume she sees they're coming out alright.] "Well, when you're right, you're right. Now, uh, sir?" [She turns to me—and yawns.] "You wanted a cake, sir?"

"...uh, y-yea..." [I look around for a sign, I think I saw—aha!] "I'll, um, I'll have O-Oran, please."

*Jani moves to avoid being anywhere near what Phil just puked, as the ride slows to the point she has to swap axes...for the most part she succeeds...then she does a somersault (with her dirt covering her unknowables) before landing gracefully upright* You didn't see that. *Jani quips*

Heh, it's fine. Glad ya liked it! (says June, shaking all of our hands.) Thanks for poppin' in! I love givin' people the opportunity to be happy and have a good time!

Thank you, too, June! (I say.) Nice to meet you.

When you're ready ta leave, my sister July will see ya out over there! (June points to another Zoroark standing by a door.) Hope we see ya again soon! Have a great rest of the day!

See ya, June! (Benji says. We start heading toward the exit.)

Nice to meet you!

(I also say, and head to the exit.)

Near the exit appears another Zoroark, sitting just by.

"Oh, hello." She says rather blandly, with her trying to insert cheer into her voice. "Did you have fun in there?"

Yeah. I guess you could say that we did.

(I nod to July.)

Yeah, it was pretty neat! (I say.) You, your sister, and your grandpa have a cool thing going on here.

Yes, it was very entertaining! (Delilah says.)

Yeah. (says Benji.)

Philly bounces onto the ground and ends up upside down.

"See what?"

"My... sister..."

She makes a grim expression.

"Right, my sister. She... told you about her... shifting thing, right?"

Well...uh.... (I say, confused.)

edited 18th Sep '17 5:04:41 PM by kablammin45

I think she did? She even turned us into Zoroarks. Why?

(I inquire.)

"I was like you once. You know... not a Zoroark. I found out about this place and wanted to give it a shot. I said 5000 Poké... why not? Then she did what she did to you. But she didn't turn me back. Now I'm trapped as her 'sister.' Roaming around as the June Sisters. I guess she thought it was funny or something and decided to use that act on everyone else, just temporary..."

She seems to start tearing up.

"I-I'm sorry... I just... I miss being me..."

(I look back at where June was and back at July.)

Dude...are you serious? (I ask, a little concerned.) I-I'm sorry...

edited 18th Sep '17 5:07:53 PM by kablammin45

I-I'm sorry to hear that.

(I say.)

*as the ride comes to a stop, Jani notices the "remnants" around Phil's mouth* Err, hold on...you want that bonus, right? *she moves to wipe the acid-colored substance from Phil's mouth using some unused Crystal City ads she's been carrying all this time and dirt-tendrils, seeming to get all of it* There you go...

*the ride comes to a complete stop, and other mons begin getting off*

She begins snickering and laughs it off.

"Naaaaah! I'm just her sister visiting from around here. I heard she was around and decided to pop in! I dunno if she even knows I'm here."

"Thanks."

Rights himself.

"What did he mean by bonus?"

(My brow raises in confusion, but I slightly laugh.)

Oh. Why don't you talk to her?

Oh wow... (I say, chuckling a bit.) You really had me for a second there.

She did seem to know that you were back here, though. (Delilah comments.)

Yeah, why don't you talk to here like my pal here is suggesting? (I ask.)

"Oh, she... knew I was here? Didn't even bother to say hi..."

She appears to fall into a depressed state– for real this time– but comes out of it long enough to look at the group.

"Well, uh. Enjoy the carnival, now. I'll definitely talk with her once you skedaddle." She waves half-heartedly.

Right. Nice to meet you.

(I motion everyone to the door, opening and holding it out for them.)

Well, thanks. Nice to meet you! (I say. Delilah, Benji, and I walk out of the tent.)

(I'm unaware that one of the lenses of my glasses has popped off and been lost somewhere in the tent.)

edited 18th Sep '17 5:19:07 PM by kablammin45

(I look back for a brief second, but then leave the tent.)

I have no idea to be honest... *Jani says, as she gets in line to leave* ...guess we'll find out in a moment!

*as Jani (and presumably Phil) shuffle out of the ride with the other mons, the Rotom-W barker says* no...no...ah, well done...muttermuttermutter *and a mon goes off somewhere* no...no...no...

*then Jani finally makes it through* Ah, a Diglett...they rarely seem to have trouble. Well, here's your bonus. *he pins a ribbon reading "I survived Rotom's Rotor Washer!" onto Jani, then directs her to a pile of small Poké dolls* Pick any one you want! *Jani is going to take a bit to decide*

*the Rotom-W barker then turns to Phil. Jani's ruse seemed to work* Ah, another successful vic...err, customer! Here you go! *the same ribbon is pinned onto Phil, and Phil is also directed to the pile* Pick any one you'd like! *then heads back to tend to the remaining few riders*
