Ohritori Vacation!

[kenfrompokemon]

[This morning, if you tune in to Ken's Pokemon Talk on the radio, you'll probably hear him announce the program will be on break for the next two weeks while he goes on vacation! And as soon as the program ends, he hops on a boat and is off to Ohritori Island.]

A. GATEWAY PORT

[You can see him arriving at Gateway Port in Turnbloom City, looking pale as he weakly hobbles off a boat and immediately falls onto his knees and hands on the pier, taking deep breaths and looking like he's been suffering from seasickness for the entire journey.]

It's finally over...! Ohritori Island, I'm so glad to see you...

B. POKEMON CENTER

[Once he's rested from his journey, he'll be sitting at the cafe in the Pokemon Center with an ice tea, glancing around somewhat restlessly. A green Ledyba is sitting at his table, eating Berry slices. Spotting you, Ken will smile and wave.

Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

C. ROUTE 1

[Later, Ken can be seen at Route 1 with his Cubburn. He'll find Professor Banyan's laboratory, he'll just wander near it for a while, glancing at the house sometimes like he's trying to gather the courage to approach. Eventually, he'll go up to the door, raise his hand to knock... then hesitates, lowering his hand again. His Cubburn looks up at him with a whine, and Ken sighs.]

I'll do it, just give me a moment...

D. WILDCARD

[Ken can also be seen wandering all around Ohritori Island during his vacation! He doesn't visit the more dangerous places deep in the caves or the forests, but he'll be checking out the tourist spots. Theater Hall, Stardust Beach, the different farms on Gilterrace Town, Route 2 and Route 3; and the Wildflower Cape. Meet him however you want! Also, feel free to recognize his voice from radio!]

Oh... That sure is weird, yeah! It's like they're less of a hivemind and more of a... cloud of different minds? And maybe following different hosts around for so long made some of them get bored or forget who they're with, or something...

[domeinion]

Something like that, I think. There are a lot of them, and they aren't so much perfectly assimilated as incredibly chaotic.

[kenfrompokemon]

I see... for something with legends about them, they sure seem... Well, actually, not that different from Legendary Pokemon! At least, from what I've heard...

[Mew's playfulness is pretty well-documented by now, after all.]

[domeinion]

Right? The stories alone, not to mention the things they've got up to here.

[Not gonna bring up her own Mew, randomized Legendaries are weird anyway. They had Groudon delivering the mail for a while.]

Like the time everybody started Dynamaxing.

[kenfrompokemon]

Dynamaxing? Oh, you mean this year's children's day? Yeah, I remember that too. Well, I wasn't there to see it with my own eyes, but I did a radio announcement warning people about it! Good thing nothing serious happened, but I heard somebody almost fell off their Gyarados while floating above the city...

[domeinion]

I didn't see any injuries either, but there was definitely some property damage and a good deal of anxiety. I do wonder about these sometimes.
