Stardust Beach - Traveller

[A rather confused Trip might be found wandering the beach today! It seems he's drifted back in for the first time in a while (not counting his younger self who's been staying at the Professor's place)... well, at least he's already dressed for the beach, with a sun hat, (oversized, hiding nearly half his face) shades, capris, and a breezy (very orange) shirt! But, there's just one little problem...]

... have you seen my Frillish?

Pokemon Center - Takeover

[Nurse Emi was supposed to be off today, wasn't she? Yet, it seems she's come to work anyway! Quite the workaholic, isn't she? ... or is it her? She seems to be acting, well, strange...

She's lazily flung herself, ragdoll-like, as if she isn't quite sure what to do with her limbs, into a seat behind the desk and is rudely bossing around the Pokemon Nurses like a little despot! She didn't have to be here today, why is she being so mean?! Maybe she's not feeling well? It seems like nothing's good enough for her!

She isn't even really doing any work, she's mostly just... drinking jasmine tea. She's been drinking cup after cup of jasmine tea with no end in sight.]

Home - Trick

[Not at the beach or the Pokemon Center today? That's alright, a bored and mischievous Ghost type Pokemon could bring chaos and confusion to your home, too! Is that where you left that thing? Wait, who ate those treats you were saving? Are your Pokemon partners or other room mates mad at you and you have no idea why?]

"Yeah, it's surreal, isn't it? Like a dream..."

A completely understandable reaction, in Trip's eyes!

"It was like that the first time for me too..."

All clean! He'll step out and, seeing Pignite done eating, picked her up with a smile.

She quickly curled up again his chest and he carried her the rest of the way.

"No one's heard of it back home, either, right? ... especially since we go back right to the time we came from, it doesn't feel real..."

"Yeah..."

Like a dream... That's a pretty accurate description. Sounds like his experience is normal, then.

He'll follow wherever Trip's going with Marldia.

"Didn't really think to ask anybody if they'd heard about it though. I do know a guy who's world has an Ultern, but with a different name and less, y'know, Ultern-y." Gold waves his hand vaguely. "Don't remember what it's called, but anyway, it could exist in another world too."

"Oh...?"

That's actually interesting! Trip glanced back at Gold, as he made his way up the stairs.

Truthfully, Trip was tired after all of Frillish's shenanigans, after having a meal, he really did just want to rest...

"Wait. If the name is different and it's not as... Ultern-y, how is it Ultern?"

Please explain, Gold!

Naptime is good! Though Gold hopes Trip puts Marldia in her Pokeball before going to sleep, he's pretty sure she's not trained enough to be allowed in a wooden room while everyone's sleeping. That's a fire hazard!

"I dunno, I think it was like, it was similar in other ways?" Gold shrugs. Not very descriptive, Gold... "You could ask him. It's Ken from the radio, so you can just call his show if you wanna."

Trip did leave Ultern before Gold met Ken, but he probably would've heard him on the radio if he ever listens to it!

No worries, he's cautious... she is still pretty half-wild, so he won't let her burn down the place!

"... oh, yeah, I remember that guy. I heard his voice a few times."

Mostly when the radio was on in public places or someone else was listening... he's not really into the idea of calling into a radio shows—he vaguely felt like he might freeze and fail to speak when they put him on, which was more humiliation than he really needed. They read letters on those things sometimes, right? ... or social media posts. Maybe he could mention him on Pippi or something...

"Yeah, I guess he's kinda famous in Ultern." Gold punctuates that sentence with a yawn. Dang, jetlag or dimension-and-time-travel-lag or whatever this is sure is striking fast!

He goes to grab a futon from wherever they're kept and bring it to his floor, but he doesn't do much more than dump it on the floor before he climbs into his bed and burrows under the covers.

"G'night... don' burn house down..." he mumbles before he's asleep.

"I won't," Trip snapped, giving Gold an irate look that quickly softens into a smile... but the yawn from earlier made him feel like yawning too... which he did. "Night, Gold..."

He sighed, hugging Marldia.

"You be good now..."

Marldia answered with an earnest oink, nodding her head. He pet her, then returned her to her pokeball.

Once he's washed up and changed for bed, he'll happily rest on the futon to sleep too, quickly dozing off! The only Pokemon he left out was Lampent, quietly glowing beside him like an only slightly sinister-looking night light. Very well-trained, unlikely to burn anything without orders, although he's nocturnal, so he stays up, staring at the walls and examining the room from where he sat...
