EVENT: Snoring Snorlax!

[ulternnpc]

Turnbloom City is quite a nice place with friendly faces and areas to explore but isn’t it about time to go beyond the city limits? Unfortunately–...

It looks like the exits are blocked by not one but many Snorlax! It seems no one can go in or out of Turnbloom. This is a serious issue as Snorlax are known for their hibernating nature. There’s no way people can get any deliveries in or out of the city either.

What is there to do?

Maybe…there’s a way to make these groups of Snorlax to move? Time to investigate!

"Maybe Nerica could fly you up and you could try to open it?" Evie says.

[gold_drum]

"Oh yeah!" Gold says. "Nerica, what she said!"

Nerica chuckles, and flies a bit upward, tilting her legs towards Gold to hang on to. "(Since you'd be stuck without my help, I suppose I shall oblige!)"

Gold grabs on to her legs, and she carries him up to the window. It's a bit tricky, trying to open the window clasp one-handed... but he manages!

"I did it!" he whoops to Evie below.

(ooc: flipped a coin irl to see if he'd get it open XD)

[radleyslittleevie]

((LOL.))

"Yay!" Evie exclaims. "Let's go out!"

[gold_drum]

"Yay!" Gold agrees. Nerica flies him down and he offers his free hand to Evie. "Come here, I'll carry you!"

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie hops up into his arm, tail wagging. This will be fun!

[gold_drum]

Gold secures Evie carefully so she doesn't fall, and up they fly! As they reach the window height, the view of Turnbloom City opens up ahead of them. The sea, the park, and plenty of spinning turnwheels are visible from this height. Gold's smile widens as he looks around to see it all, while they exit the Pokemon Center through the window.

[radleyslittleevie]

"It's so amazing from so high!" Evie gushes. "It must be so fun to fly!"

[gold_drum]

"(Heh, are you jealous? You should be!)" Nerica laughs.

"Yeah, it's great!" Gold responds to Evie with a smile, not understanding Nerica. "Oh, except when you're flying a long time. Then it gets kinda scary and tiring."

Nerica's smug smile drops, and she nods without any more comments, and slowly lowers Gold and Evie down to the pavement while thinking back on all the longer flights she's carried Gold on before.

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie frowns a bit, seeing Nerica is sad now. "Oh, I would love flying a long time!" she said. "And I'm sure you're grateful you have a way to get around! Nerica is very nice!"

[gold_drum]

"Yeah, of course I'm grateful," Gold says, a bit confused. "Why wouldn't I be?" Now that they're on ground level, he lets go of Nerica's legs and crouches to allow Evie to get down easier.

"(Sh-shut up! I'm not nice,)" Nerica scoffs grumpily, blushing in embarrassment. "(Don't call me nice! That's slander! I'm- I'm above such things! I only tolerate others if they worship me, as everyone should! You're the one who's nice!!)" She points at Evie aggressively. "(And cute, too!!)"

The other Pokemon in Gold's Pokeballs, meanwhile, coo and poke friendly fun at how cute Nerica's being. Nerica pointedly ignores them as Gold watches, still confused.

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie hops down. "You didn't have to offer to help, so you're nice too!" she chirps innocently. "Thank you very much for the ride and the compliments!"

[gold_drum]

"(I am not!)" Nerica protests. "(It's only the truth! Ugh! You... you... you're the cutest Eevee I've ever seen!)" she spits out as if it was an insult, then turns to Gold. "(Put me back in there!)" she says, tapping the Pokeball.

"Oh! I know what that means," Gold says, brightening up, and takes the Pokeball. "Return, Nerica!" Nerica goes back into her Pokeball, exiting this conversation. "Oh, and thanks for the help!" Gold says, but Nerica doesn't respond.

"What was she saying anyway? Complimenting you?" Gold asks Evie.

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah! She said I'm nice and cute!" Evie says.

[gold_drum]

"I guess she's right," Gold says with a shrug, while Nerica's mourning the loss of her dignity in the Pokeball. "So, are you gonna look for your friend now? What does Radley look like, anyway?" Gold figures he might as well keep an eye out, while looking for Silver.

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah, I am! He's got black hair with a piece hanging in his face. He has really pretty dark green eyes! He was 11 when I saw him, though.... He's older now. Maybe he won't look the same...."

[gold_drum]

"Okay! Older than eleven, black hair, dark green eyes... I'm sure he won't look that different!" Gold makes a note of this. "I'll keep an eye out! Oh, and if you see my friend Silver, let him know I'm looking for him! He's ten years old, like me, and he's got long red hair, wears purple pants, and is usually glaring angrily!"

Gold suddenly realizes he might've not introduced himself this whole time. "Oh yeah, and I dunno if Nerica told you or not, but my name's Gold. If you see Silver, tell him Gold's looking for him!"

[radleyslittleevie]

"Okay!" Evie says cheerfully. "Silver and Gold?! Like the Christmas song!" She wags her tail happily. That will be easy to remember.

[gold_drum]

"Yeah, like the Christmas song!" Gold says with a smile, then pauses, realizing he doesn't actually know a song like that. "What Christmas song?"

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie starts singing it. "Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold ..."

[gold_drum]

"I've never heard that one before!" Gold exclaims, delighted. "I'm gonna sing it to Silver next time I see him."

It would either annoy the hell out of Silver, or cheer him up, and either way is a good result as far as Gold's concerned.

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah! That would be fun! I would love to sing with Radley!" Evie says. "If he's here, maybe I can!"

[gold_drum]

"I'm sure you can!" Gold says. Though the phrasing gives him pause. Evie talks like she hasn't sung with Radley before, so... "Did you learn to talk human after being separated from him or something?"

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah, it only happened after I came here," Evie says. "If Radley isn't here, and I leave, I guess I'll be back to talking so he can't understand me."

[gold_drum]

"Oh, so it's not normal where you're from," Gold muses. "I only ever met two Pokemon that could talk like a human back home, so I thought you were from a world where it's more common. But hey, maybe you can find another Pokemon that can translate for you when you go back home?"

[radleyslittleevie]

"I wish I could keep talking!" Evie exclaims. "What are those Pokemon like in your world?"
