Friendly (?) scientist has landed
1. Overlook Hill, Ohritori Island
[ Not one to stick around in a single location for too long, Colress has gone off to explore the Island after making some queries of Nurse Emi, map in hand and the weight of his Poké Balls reassuring in the inside lining of his lab coat.
The prospect of a new region to explore — new flora, new fauna, new locals, new data for experiments — is any scientist's dream. Normally, it would be his, too — but truth be told, he could use a little break after abdicating his position at Team Plasma, and time alone doing nothing sounds... well, it sounds ideal. As such, he's found the highest point in Ohritori, a place removed from the bustle of both the city and much of the surrounding wilderness. What better vantage point for deciding where to go next (what to do) than above?
Shielding his eyes from the sun, he leans over to examine the sign. In time, he'll decide whether he needs to learn Ulternian script and its accompanying language. For now, the translation beneath, which he understands (do all Drifted understand, he wonders?), will suffice. ]
"When everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top," hm?
2. Grand Theater Hall
[ Alternatively, Colress finds himself standing in front of Grand Theater Hall, the faintest of smiles tugging at the corner of his mouth. He's hardly aware of it, lost in thought about a certain Trainer he happened to glimpse on TV one day in the role of a scientist. That same Trainer had gone on to beat him, not once, not twice, but three times in Pokémon battles, proving to him that the trust they shared with their team resulted in "strength"... how mysterious people could be sometimes, he remembers thinking when he saw them on screen then. How multifaceted. ]
Here, Contests and Musicals, [ he says to himself, loud enough to be caught by anyone standing within several feet of him. ] In another universe, movies and serials. I wonder what other forms of entertainment Pokémon are employed in, beyond what we know... do they awaken to their hidden potential even with these...?

1!
Ulsai!
[He'll given the Alolan wave despite his greeting.]
Did you come up here to see the view too? It's really nice isn't it?
Sorry for the late tag, life's kicking my butt! orz
Ulsai! It's a marvellous view.
[ He glances back at the sprawl of land and sea as if to confirm, the hazy outline of a smaller, uninhabited island in the far-off distance. It is marvellous, but it's also — different. It's different from Unova, all industry and entertainment and signs of man mastering his environment even where the conditions are inhospitable. ]
I'd never even heard of Ultern before this. Strange to think it's where I've ended up.
No worries, no worries! There's no rush with tags!
[Elio beamed--full of energy as always. At his comment on Ultern, Elio nodded.]
It was the same for me, but a lot of it reminds me of Alola so it hasn't been a bad time staying here, ehehe. ...oh! My name is Elio by the way! Elio from the Alola region! What is your name?
