I think I’ve heard people who leave here and come back say it’s like no time passed at all back home.

So is there any point to tracking time here?
Does it matter?

Sorry for the lowkey existential crisis.
Just got a lot on my mind.

[August 14th. So it’s come again. Mayday sits outside in Turnbloom City, staring at the sky. She kind of already regrets posting that message but oh well. She’s not doing anything in particular, just loitering in her Rocket uniform as per usual. I figured I’d include this in case you wanted to accost her in person, lol.]

Over at Ohritori the sun is bright, and the cool breeze is welcoming as always. The people and Pokemon of Ultern as usual are full of life and bustling. Just what sort of adventure awaits today?

"Well I'll be! I thought I've returned back to my lab but this place sure seems different."

Out in the middle of the field of Route 3, the Doduo Plains there's a man wearing a large camping bag who's wearing a labcoat over clothes that are clearly made for hiking. On one of his shoulders Meltan, a mythical Pokemon is sitting there, relaxed. The man will take a step forward, until a peculiar, purple Pokemon catches his attention. There's a look of delight as he moves in to kneel next to it.

"What do we have here?"
"Mimimimiimiii?"

The Pokemon will jiggle while opening it's mouth wide showing off it's spiky teeth in the process. There's a look of surprise on the man's face.

"Why! For a moment I thought you're a Ditto but I can clearly see you're quite different. Hmm...now what kind of Pokemon are you?"


2.
Over at Chura, near the Amica Bridge there's a camp set up! It's off to the side to not block the road, but it's still in clear view for anyone passing by. In fact there's even a table that's laid out for a picnic, and a big camping bag that's left out on the seat. On top of the table there's a Meltan seated there with a man right next to it, clearly studying a map of the island.

The moment he noticed anyone passing by he'll immediately make his way to greet them!

"Hello! Or as the locals seem to be saying here... Ulsai! I am Professor Willow!"

He's all smiles with his Meltan joining him by claiming a spot on his shoulders.

"I've met a new Pokemon that I'd love to know more of! Perhaps you can help me with my research?"


(🌺Ulsai~! Come help Professor Willow as he forces politely ask people to help him with a research task! Depending on which option you choose you'll get Mimmeo(Ditto's scrapped evolution) or one of the Ulternian starter Pokemon! Enjoy!🌺)

Ultern is back to it's peaceful days full of cheer and lull--one young woman, Juliet is out and about with her trusty Tyker an electric tiger Pokemon named Pumpkin by her side. She can be found with a clear mission in her eyes.

A. Turnbloom Market
Juliet can be seen at the market place intently looking between two Yago berries. They somehow both look exactly the same yet she's squinting, and squinting some more before sighing deeply.

"Ohh!!! Pumpky which one of these look better to you?"

Her Tyker instead of humoring Juliet simply scrunched up its noise and swinging it's tail rapidly.

"Oh my lovely little Kabokabo I'm not going to make you eat it! I proooomise!"

B. Route 2 - Berry Farm
Juliet's found rolling up her sleeves, wearing huge gardening gloves over her hands. Pumpkin is right next to her with a berry pouch in its mouth.

"Hand me all your Pomeg berries, stat!" With the way she's barging in with her Tyker it almost sounded like she was trying to rob the nearest person of their berries.

C. Pippi Post
🐱Juliet🐱 @(mayaloveforever)
Hey anyone have any good recipes for Paldean dishes? A friend of mine seems a bit down lately so I figured I should cheer him up with a meal from his home region! I just want to surprise him. Thanks it advance!!!

[Under the text of her piip is an unrelated photo of Pumpkin and a Skitty taking a nap on a couch.]

A. TURNTERRACE ROAD - CLOSED to [personal profile] buson

"I suppose we didn't need this." As they neared the entrance to Turnterrace Tunnel, Bashou folded the map of Ohritori Island. "You must have walked this route all the time when you worked on the farm...?"

He swung his rucksack around to the front of his body so that he could slip the map back into its pocket. His rucksack had some additions, most notably a length of neatly coiled rope and carabiner clips attached to the side. Bashou, too, was dressed differently. His clothes were more form-fitting, not the usual loose and flowy things he'd gotten used to wearing in Ultern. There was a climbing harness around his hips, and a helmet with an integrated torch on his head.

Would there be any climbing involved in this trip? Bashou didn't know for sure. As with all the Mystery Dungeons, it seemed that this one defied any attempts to map beyond its entrance. But he always liked to be prepared, and going into an unchartable cave system felt a lot more dangerous than the unchartable forest island they'd visited last time...


B. ROUTE 5 / CRABRAWLER COAST (BETWEEN PORT OPPORTUNE AND ADANOOK TOWN), CHURA ISLAND - *OPEN!*

[You may want to take care if you wander off the path. Bashou likes to train his Pokémon around here, often with the 'help' of a creepy-looking cloth mannequin for target practice. He's currently focusing on his newest Pokémon, Roselia. She's learning how to use Toxic Spikes! If anyone gets too close, they'll get a glare and a 'tsk'.]

"You nearly got a face full of poisonous thorns. I'm trying to save my Antidotes for real emergencies, so please be more careful next time."

[I. All Around Ohritori Island]
[There’s a rumor spreading on Ohritori Island about a dangerous criminal hiding among them. Actually, it’s kind of more of a known secret. Mayday has been squatting in an abandoned building in Turnbloom City for half a year now and the local residents, big-hearted as they are, have embraced her in much the same way a neighborhood might collectively adopt a feral cat.

Maybe you spot a glimpse of her sneaking around, often boldly wearing her Team Rocket uniform even in broad daylight. Maybe you see her pocketing something from one of the market stalls when a shopkeeper is distracted? Or maybe you stumble upon her (very) humble abode? The possibilities are endless. She’s always roaming the island and spreading relatively harmless mischief. She’s like a freakin cryptid at this point.]


[II. Stardust Beach]
[It’s Summer, baybee! Mayday is out at the beach and not in her uniform for a change. She’s sporting a light, casual outfit and an uncharacteristically chipper demeanor.

She seems to be watching something out in the water, and indeed, if you look out at the surf, there appears to be someone (something?) riding the waves. It’s weird and yellow… is it a Pokémon???

When she notices you approach, she grins a little.]


Oy, Ulsai or whatever. Good weather today, innit?


[III. Turnbloom City Pokémon Center]
[Catch Mayday parked on a bench outside the Pokémon Center, eating a lunch she that was given to her by one of the shopkeepers despite her adamant protests. A small gathering of children stand nearby, whispering among themselves and looking her way. Approaching her was becoming a popular test of courage among the local youth. Eventually, a couple come forward, tittering and fidgeting.]

Ulsai, Ms. Rocket~

I told you kids not to call me that. Buzz off before I cut you into ribbons.

[Her voice is harsh but her expression reads more annoyance than any actual sort of malice. They squeal and giggle and run back to the group. She sighs and leans back, staring up at the sky.]

No respect, I tell you.

A. A VOYAGER INTO THE ETHER (Stardust Beach)

[There's a new face wandering up and down the beach just as the sun breaks over the horizon. Calla has her shoes kicked off, tucked carefully into the bag at her side, and has her bare toes buried in the sand. There's a female Nidoran next to her making warning chittering noises every now and then as her Trainer walks.]

Nicer temperature. Sunrise is prettier, too. -Hey, Medea, d'you think this is just like on TV? An adventure? [The Nidoran huffs.] A second one, maybe.

[She kneels down to let a handful of sand trickle through her fingers.] Lookit the stars. I wonder if Mom would like a letter home with some sand in it.

[She turns her head to look at someone passing by.]

D'you think that'd be a good gift?

B. DREAM OF A WILD RAGING OCEAN (Turnbloom City/wildcard)

[Calla's shed her jacket, tying it around her waist to keep it safe. Already there's sweat beading on her forehead; someone, it seems, doesn't agree with the warmer climate of Ultern. Right now, she's staring intently at a small kiosk selling sweets like she expects it to evaporate the moment she turns her gaze away.]

Zenzai's not cold, mister, it's supposed 'ta be warm! [The man selling behind the counter is gentle about correcting her mistake, at least?] How does that even work, anyway, wouldn't the shaved ice just make the beans all mushy?

[Calla looks at the loose change in her hands, sighs, then looks up at a sudden interruption.]

Do you have a couple more coins? 'M hot and I don't have enough for anything.

Inquiry [tweet peep post to Pippi, also crossposted to Mimmeo; backdated to around May 22nd-23rd, after their trip to Chichi Island in this thread]

BIG GAINS 💪 @(legendarycheatday):

anybody ever successfully or even halfway grow one of these things???

[A photograph of a cut Midnight Bloom from Chichi Island, sitting in a plastic bottle of water, even in the dim light, its petals still faintly glow like moonlight! There’s tissue paper spread out under it, to disguise the low tables of Gukuru House, in case anyone recognizes the exact tables or even clay pottery used at the inn.

Rather different from the anonymous user's usual strict focus on fitness tips, training regimens, and memes!]


Reprieve [present date; primarily for Bashou ([personal profile] bashou) in Gukuru House, but can include anyone else who run into Buson between Chura and Ohritori island]

Buson might have despaired too quickly, earlier. A Team Rocket executive was still a human being. He couldn’t defeat death itself or stop it from claiming a friend of his, but he could at least talk to a human being who terrorized one of his friends who's shaken up from already being taken hostage by Rockets before… even if the Rocket frightening him this time was his superior.
She was, after all, just a human being. Solid. Tangible. Vulnerable.
… something he knew all too well, which made even treating her solely like an enemy or threat to be dealt with quickly difficult. He still pitied her, which would surely aggravate Mayday. She might not be dealt with as quickly and easily as a nameless grunt, but maybe it wouldn't have to go that far, and they could just talk.

Before setting out, Buson would write a note for Bashou, as he didn’t see him up. Maybe he was busy working, maybe he was asleep, or maybe he stepped outside. Buson wasn’t sure at the moment, entirely focused on what he intended to do.

“Taking the ferry.
Friends having an argument.
I got to make peace.
—B.”

And then, he would simply leave it on the table and go, provided there are no interruptions, neither in Gukuru House or the docks, and take the ferry back to Ohritori, simply as a passenger. He’d have a grim and sober air about him and wouldn’t look terribly friendly or approachable today, whether on the ferry or at port, or even in the city, although he might put on a smile for a familiar face or to get information.

Peacekeeping [present date; closed to Mayday ([personal profile] ateamrocket), wherever he finds her]

It might have taken a lot of asking around and following some dead ends, but Buson will find her eventually (maybe to one of her usual haunts or even to whatever abandoned building she’s taken up residence!); he’s always been good at following a trail to find his target.

“Hey, Mayday.”

No honorifics or formalities, just like she asked, but the tone lacks any warmth and his voice is low and quiet, in an almost intimidating fashion. He’s approaching this like his old job, even if it felt twisted using these tactics on a superior who was only acting as a Rocket would

Well, it isn’t clear-cut treachery yet, they're just talking.

It's been a few days since the strange skyfish incident, but now? It's Children's Day! Everyone has their Magikarp Streamers hung up high to flap gently against the wind. The adults can be seen happily handing children different colored mochi that's been wrapped up and steamed in banana leaves too. Granted you don't have to be an child to enjoy such tasty treats! More the merrier, as they say.


People all over Ohritori Island will notice a beautiful, sparkling speck of red fluttering gently from the skies. It doesn't hurt to interact with it, in fact it feels a little warm. What a nice little surprise! ...wait, what's this? Now isn't the time to be innocently celebrating Children's Day in a carefree manner?

That's right, any and all Pokemon that's hit with the strange speck of light have suddenly grown in size. In fact, those who are familiar will realize they have all been Dynamaxed!

Uh-oh!!! Talk about more trouble afoot in Ultern!

[OPEN TO ALL - Location: Everywhere, Ohritori]
[It's quiet at night, but not dead silent. In the streets of towns, there's still sounds of people, families gathered at home enjoying time together. Or Nocturnal Pokemon who'd skitter about, and communicating amongst one another.

There's a lone Parasol Lady walking down the nightly path--her parasol in one hand, and her phone in another. She's clearly panicked and will immediately stop anyone who's nearby.]


Did you see just now!? Up in the sky?! I saw it! I really did!

[Just what was she going on about?]

[In fact, if one were to go online that night many people of Ultern seemed to be buzzed with something up in the sky--]

[Turnbloom + Gilterrace]
[Manzana, one of the flowershop keeper is out with his Marine pattern Vivillon not too far. There's a worried look on his face, as he seems to be searching for something. He'll soon approach anyone that's near by.]

A. All around Glitterace and Turnbloom (Normies)
[Hello everyone. How are you doing? The weather is lovely around Ultern today and it’s a great day for just going about your business outside. Maybe you just stopped by the market? Maybe you’re catching some pokemon? Maybe you’re having a snack? Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, you suddenly find yourself being accosted from behind by a pink-haired young woman in a rocket grunt uniform. She’s going to try and MUG YOU AND RUN, taking any poke balls you may have been carrying with you.

If you’re quick enough and manage to dodge her sticky fingers, she’ll skid to a stop on the other side, turning to look at you. There’s a dark intensity to her expression. She flexes her fingers like a cowboy readying to draw a pistol… but doesn’t appear to be carrying a weapon, thankfully. All the same, she’s clearly not here for a friendly chat.]


Your Pokémon. Hand ‘em over.

[Her accent is very Galarian, but sort of…off, somehow?]

B. All around Glitterace and Turnbloom (for Rockets)
[…Unless, of course, you happen to be sporting a bright red R as well. She won’t apologize for bodychecking you but she will, at least, return any Pokémon she snatched if she managed to get any.]

Tch. You should really be more careful.

[Over at the Banyan Research Lab it's not hard to notice Professor Banyan right outside. His lab coat is left by front porch with his Ulternian Pikachu having taken over it during its nap time, as he's tending to his front yard. He can be heard humming a song while working away.

For anyone passing by he'll be more than happy to have a chat.


Otherwise aside from gardening, the Professor will be seen nearby the shores intensely studying nearby Pokemon on the beach. He's got a notepad in hand to occasionally jot down his observations.]

Anywhere, and everywhere within Ultern a Wild Manaphy appears! It seems to be in a great mood too. So great in fact that it can be heard giggling as it’s passing by that it’s hard for anyone to miss.

Walking across a Manaphy on its own is a rare occasion but aside from that, things are getting weird! People and Pokemon alike are suddenly finding themselves having swapped places, or witnessing those in utter confusion having been hit by Manaphy’s signature move: Heart Swap.




"Mana, manaaa!"

Manaphy’s giggle continues to be heard loud and clear for all! This little mischievous mythical Pokemon was clearly having the best time of it's life at that very moment.


(💖Happy Valentine’s everyone! Please enjoy this short in game 1 day event! Feel free to either having swapped bodies with someone/a pokemon or witness the chaos that’s unfolded because of Manaphy!💖)

You better watch out or don't actually as Delibird is here with a gift in hand. Not just one but a whole group of Delibirds. They’re all Ulternian Delibirds as they’re seen waddling outside of the town up to Overlook Hil

Gathered as a group the Delibirds will squawk together, with their gaze lifted up towards the sky. Clouds begin to cover the sky with snow slowly but surely covering the ground of the usually tropical island. From here, there, and everywhere everyone will see snow.


Up over at Overlook Hill those who are nearby will see a beautiful, shimmering blue bird–a lone Articuno perched atop the viewing deck letting out a melodic cry followed by a flap of its wings. It seemed the legendary bird was sending all of Ultern one last gift for all to enjoy.

Link’s Awakening || Turnbloom City - Stardust Beach
She woke up on an unfamiliar beach.

That might be strange and alarming for most people, but Akari, lying flat on her back, couldn’t help but laugh about it.

“…So we’re doing this again, huh?” she asks the wide open sky with a wry sort of smile. After a moment, she sits up, fumbling around in the pocket of her Survey Corp gear and pulling out a strange-looking phone. No cryptic godly messages, huh? At least not yet. Hmm… curious.

Well, nothing to be gained by sitting around! She stands up and pats herself off, glancing around for the nearest landmarks. Do you happen to overhear her? Or maybe you just caught sight of her on the shore? Either way, the past and the present are once again about to collide and a new adventure is about to unfold…!


Kirby’s Dream Buffet || Gliterrace Town - Bistro Le Yago
The curiously-dressed girl in front of you in line at the restaurant has been waffling about what to order. Her travels had led her to the nearby town and the journey had made her quite hungry.

“Hey, do you have any potato mochi?”

It’s a decidedly Hokkaidoan Sinnohan snack, and a rather traditional one, at that. Maybe you’ve heard of it in an old cook book?

“No? Well, that’s okay. I’ll just take a dozen of whatever the specialty here is!” A…a dozen? Can she really eat that much?!

Art Academy || Pretty much anywhere!
Old habits die hard and Akari found herself instinctively compelled to start taking notes and recording information about the unfamiliar Pokémon she was encountering here in Ultern. Catch her crouching behind some bushes or a rock, carefully taking notes or sketching the shape of an Ulternian Pokémon. Maybe she’s sketching a rare Palssio along the shore, or maybe she’s hiding behind some bushes taking notes about a pack of Pichu! The possibilities are endless!

Breath of the Wild || Route 3
Or maybe, just maybe… she’s running. Running full tilt, being chased by a Pokémon. What Pokémon? It looks like an Ulternian Blissey and man, it’s hauling ass! Sort of surprising given what stumpy little legs they have. Akari is keeping ahead of it, but just barely. She could probably use some help.

LOCATION: Gilterrace Town - Churahana Flower Shop
[Out at the front of the store Manzana can be spotted sweeping stray leaves. All the while he doesn't notice there's a tiny little helper walking around the vicinity. Said little helper--a Gimmighoul in its roaming form eventually stopped, and stared at a Coinpur that was napping right at the steps of the flower shop's door.

It’s not until Manzana moves away from sweeping to rearrange one of the floral decorations that he catches Gimmighoul from the corner of his eyes. Halting his work he turned to look at Gimmighoul. Taking note of how it was tugging at Coinpurs’ coin a deep frown formed on Manzana’s lips.]


Gimmighoul don't you dare touch that coin! It isn't for you! [There’s a pause.] ...wait a second, a Gimmighoul? Here...?

[There’s a startled sound Gimmighoul lets out before running leaving a stunned Manzana.]

...wait! Gimmighoul, come back!

Location: Route 1
[Manzana can be seen with a group of Smolivs in his arms. He’s holding them tight as they’re letting out terrified screams. The problem wasn’t the fact he was carrying them as he ran–the problem was what was behind them: a very, angry Ulternian Dunsparce.

If anyone were to come across him, while Manzana won’t stop in his tracks he will call out to them.]


Run! It’s Dunsparce! Ay, I didn’t–ah!! Run!!! They’re dangerous!

[He’s yelling out in rapid succession. It seemed he was not only concerned for the shivering Pokemon he held but also the safety of anyone else in Dunsparce’s line of sight.]

Edge of Turnbloom City

[A Seviper wearing a number of things hovers at the edge of Turnbloom City. It has a red and orange cape on, is wearing a carry bag, and an amulet is tied around its neck. The Seviper makes no attempt to enter the city, opting only to stare into it, shifting its focus from one thing to another.

And then it catches sight of you approaching, tensing up a little. Unfortunately, if a human happens to approach him, he'll start backing away.]

Shrouded Woods, closed to Non-Humans

[The Seviper doesn't stay there forever. He eventually retreats into the neighboring forest, opting to try and hide from human civilization. Whatever you're doing in the forest, A Seviper enters your view. He quickly notices you, too, and courteously bows down to you, speaking in the language only Pokemon can understand, as all Pokemon can.]

I greet you. It sure is a beautiful day, is it not?

It's a nice, crisp autumn day... Until a sudden storm strikes, leaving everyone rushing to look for cover. You find yourself in a cave, under an awning, under a tree... Anywhere where you might be safe from the rain. And it looks like somebody else has taken cover in the exact same place as you! You might as well introduce yourself, since it seems like you'll be sharing the same space for a while.

But be careful, it seems the rain might've gotten the Dunsparces out of hiding...

(OOC: This is a mingle post! I won't be responding to everybody, so talk among each other! Maybe take this opportunity to thread with a character you haven't talked to before? You can set the thread anywhere you want on Ohritori Island! And if you want to thread with Gold, he'll be both here and the Halloween event later!)

turnbloom city

[Ulsai, Ultern natives and drifters alike! It's a rather lovely day today, and it seems you're being joined by a boy with a surprisingly faded blue coat and his vivid pink partner. The two of them look around almost confused, really, as they just seem to appear near the Gateway Port and look...well, deeply confused, for both of their parts.]

...Oh, dear. Gorebyss, this doesn't look anything like we were told about Paldea, does it?

Gore... [The pink fish seems to shake her head, eyes drooping a bit before Calem reaches out to pet her on the head.]

Hey, don't worry about it. Why don't we see what this island has to offer? Maybe we'll find some inspiration to strike us up here, too! And a few snacks for you?

[The Gorebyss seems to perk up at that--mostly at the mention of snacks. That'll bring the two of them further into town at least, if you want to talk to them there.

Of course, you can also find Calem doing a couple things here and there--you can find him at the Turnbloom Market where he seems to be checking out any stalls that might have good clothing materials for sale. Threads, fabrics, tools, he's looking at everything, and if you happen to be around, he might look to you and smile.]


Excuse me. I'm just having the hardest time trying to decide on what I should get...might I ask for your assistance in picking out some fabrics for me? I'm always in the market for a second opinion, especially when I'm so unfamiliar with the fashions in this place!

[He's definitely friendly and animated enough, at least, and the Gorebyss beside him seems to regard you too. Feel free to throw something at him!

Otherwise, you might just find him in the Battle Park where he's...doing anything other than battling--Gorebyss seems to be over picking on some of the bug types for fun, but he seems to be looking at anyone around and sketching into a sketchbook? Huh. If you wanna see what that's about, feel free.]


route 4 (wildflower cape)

[Once Calem gets settled in, though, he--and a fair few of the rest of his team, from the looks of it, decide to set out for Gilterrace, but seem to decide to take a more inspiring scenic route first.

And inspiring it is. Calem seems more than apt to be distracted by the beautiful flowers growing along the path here than anything else, trusty sketchpad out and putting ideas to paper in an instant.]


Ah, flowers like these...it almost reminds me of home.

[Of course, if you happen to spot him in the evening, it seems he's set up camp for the time and is making a few things for himself and his Pokemon; if he happens to see you, though, he'll wave over to you.]

Hello! ...Excuse me, the proper greeting here is Ulsai, isn't it? [Calem laughs a bit at that, though.] Hopefully your travels have been treating you well here?
