Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

[ulternnpc]

 

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

That laugh was just a little scary! He sounded like Faba...

"Y-yes, I'm sure... this is very new to you."

Please don't be power-hungry...

no worries!

"Hmm..." being abducted not so much, but ending up in a completely new region, possibly outside of their own world? Definitely a new experience.

He glanced over to Lillie noting the look she had on her face. Odd, was there something that made her react like that? Or maybe this entire situation was catching up to her. He should say something to cheer her up a little, shouldn't he?

"In any case, I'm sure there's bound to be clues on how to return home around here." As he's saying so his Hoopa's expression lit up. Without warning he's playfully opening up a portal as a number of peculiar, round, fried doughnuts with a smiley like crack fell onto Lear's head. Lear stood in shocked silence for a second before glaring at his Hoopa. "Hoopa, how many times must I tell you if you're hungry, just tell me?!"

"Hehehe!" Hoopa giggled in response before dropping a few more Sugar Doughtnuts, that all playfully pelted Lear in the process.

"Why do you never listen to me!?"

[timidlyblooming]

Being abducted isn’t new?!

Well, that eased Lillie’s fears, at least for the time being, and she couldn’t help a small laugh at Hoopa’s antics.

“I’m sorry… but you really shouldn’t throw things on your trainer!” she tried to make it a lecturing tone, even wagging her finger at Hoopa, but it lacked any authoritative power.

[princeofpasio]

Sometimes people just wanna abduct you, and put a stop to the tournament you kickstarted for Reasons! Don't worry about it.

Hoopa's still giggling, now with the doughnuts in his hands. Lear all the while sighed, and made a bit of a face while being referred to as Hoopa's trainer. He couldn't help but stare at his partner Pokemon.

Hoopa sensing Lear's gaze looked over to him.

"Hoooopa!" Hoopa bounced about while waving his arms happily. In response Lear chuckled while placing his hands onto his hips.

"It's the first time anyone has referred to me as your trainer, isn't it Hoopa?"

"Papapapapa!" Hoopa cheered. Lear's lips twitch into a smirk in response. Of course Hoopa would know what was on his mind.

"Hmm, but that's not exactly correct."

[timidlyblooming]

That is a bit TOO concerning to just leave it at that…!

“Oh, was I wrong?” Lillie said, surprised. “I’m sorry… are you only friends, then?”

[princeofpasio]

"We're friends, of course but also..." He's holding out his hand striking a pose with his Hoopa joining in with a wide smile. "Partners who will raise to the top at the next PML tournament!"

"Hoopa!!"

[the internet connection is still really weak, but here goes! o/]

[timidlyblooming]

They are dramatic, aren't they? But they didn't seem too scary right now, just a bit flashy. Maybe Lear was more like Gladion than Faba...

"Then, like Nebby..."
Or even Poipole! Befriended, but never caught.

"By coming here, you might have a chance to become even stronger, right?" Lillie asked.

heck yeah!!!

[princeofpasio]

Lear was indeed flashy from the way he's dressed to his overall attitude. He gives Lillie a puzzled look at the mention of "Nebby". Judging by the context it had to be the name of a Pokemon friend.

At Lillie's next question, Hoopa lifted up his arms letting out a happy cheer. Clearly he was delighted at the thought of becoming stronger in Ultern. Lear glanced over to Hoopa and back to Lillie.

"Of course, there will be plenty of fascinating trainers and Pokemon out there, even if they haven't formed a sync pair like those back in Pasio. It would be a valuable experience for the two of us."
