MAYDAY (UN: proper-rocket) posted:
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.

[II. Turnbloom City]
[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.]

Come by Grand Theater Hall in one hour if you want to watch an ass kicking

[There's a selfie attached, a young woman in a casual, punk-ish outfit with pinkish red hair sticking out her tongue and posing with an altogether unfamiliar looking Pokémon in front of Grand Theater Hall in Turnbloom. She’s holding up an entry slip for a Normal Rank contest.]

[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.

i. turnbloom city

[Between one moment and the next, a man appears on the side of the street. Crystals glisten in the light as he moves - encrusted along the edges and sleeves of his lab coat, and seemingly even embedded in the skin of one of his hands. Despite that, he doesn't seem distressed - just surprised, maybe.]

...where is this...?

[When would seem to be the more pertinent question, except that this...very much does not look like a future iteration of Area Zero. The amount of time that it would take for the crater to wear away, or for the ocean to rise and reach so close...it's possible, of course. Their calculations determined that the future the machine reached into was extremely distant! But, still - those are very regular Pokemon flying overhead.

For a moment, something unfamiliar lances through him, bright as the sun. He's outside. He's free. He can go anywhere he wants, speak with anybody he wants - !

At least. For a little while.

It's possible that he was putting a good face on things for the children. The truth is, he couldn't have been sure what he'd find on the other side of the portal. Now that he's here...there's no crystals. Exactly the reason he was never able to leave Area Zero in the first place.

.....

That's alright. He'll do what he can. He looks around, apparently chooses a direction,and turns to walk down the street, still shedding tiny shards of crystal with every movement.]

ii. overlook hill

[On top of Overlook Hill, Turo sits on the edge of the viewing platform, looking out over the landscape spread out below. It's beautiful. He's never seen anything like it before. The Professor had, but not for years now - not a priority.

The internal diagnostic he was running completes. No significant damage, and no sign of an imminent shutdown yet...but it must be coming, right? He's only crashed for lack of Tera crystals once before, and he hadn't known it would happen then until it did.

He wishes he could speak with...

Well. He can't. Anyone at all might be nice, but there's little point. It'd be alarming for someone to watch him suddenly topple over, apparently and effectively dead, and that doesn't seem very fair. So he'll just wait, here outside in a brand new place.]

Oh? [Though, if someone else comes up here - he can't help that, now can he?] Good afternoon.

buson

Attila had taken to living in Chura for quieter, more private living arrangements, but that meant leaving the ranches and rice terraces of Gilterrace behind. Fortunately, Attila had many kinds of jobs open to him and decided to try working for a cargo ship for a change, so he could more easily travel between islands, as he'd had plenty of experience with that sort of thing...

(Not all of them wholesome, but hey, regardless of transporting captives or goods, a lot of the same principles applied for ships and planes, so his skills transferred over very well... except that that unlike with planes, ships travelled a bit more slowly, and he had to be present with the cargo for loading, shipping, and unloading, so he'd spend about a week at sea, going from island to island, before he'd return home.)

He won't be selling anything himself, that's what the merchants did, Attila just loaded things in and out, made sure everything was as safely and neatly stored, and that the ship remained up-right and well-balanced.

Turnbloom City + Stardust Beach, Ohritori

While he had some free time while the ship was docked and restocking, after unloading cargo to be sold in Turnbloom Market, Attila decided to look around and see if he could spot any familiar faces... and eat some udon. Hey, he missed the food while he was away!

He also decided to call up Manzana, both to update him on how things were going (great!), but also to casually ask where he was (not wanting to bring up where he was first, so he won't make him feel like he should go out of the way to visit him or anything...!).

Attila could even be found purchasing trinkets, like a little jar of the star-shaped sand to take home.

Sun and Palssio

At some point, before leaving port, Attila had a bit of an accident, slipping on a newly waxed surface and nearly falling overboard, right over the railing (he's tall and top-heavy enough he could still fall over!)—but he's pushed backwards, back to safety, but his eyes never seem to get used to the light...

"N-nife..." Atilla managed weakly, squinting at the bright sunlight, before realizing the reason things weren't just too bright just from a shock that hadn't worn off, but from the light shining off gushing Water type moves from some friendly, playful Passio that shoved him back on board with strong streams of water. His head and shoulders were drenched, but more importantly—he'd lost his sunglasses!

He swore as he tried to reach back for them between the bars, but the Palssion were too busy playing with them, passing them back and forth like a ball.

"H-hey, my sunglasses!"

Port Opportune, Chura Island

He was finally home! Attila would head back to Gukuru House soon enough, where he lived with Bashou, at least for now, but he could be caught walking around port before that!

chloeandeevee

Two newcomers have just arrived in Turnbloom City. A human girl with red-violet hair looks around in confused fascination.

"This isn't where we just were," she says, concerned. "It's beautiful, but what is this place?"

An adorable female Eevee isn't concerned at all. "Eevee-Eevee-Eevee!" she squeals, scampering ahead to look at everything.

"Eevee, wait!" the girl exclaims. "We should be careful until we know more!"

But Eevee bounces along. This place doesn't look dangerous at all!

Seeing it's hopeless, the girl gives chase.

Current Mood: confused

starinheaven

There’s a little girl, dressed in a light, summery dress, with matching white sandals, arriving on Stardust Beach, blinking at the sunlight and feeling the coastal wind on her face and tasting the salty sea-scent of the air.
For a time, she’s absolutely stunned, daring not to move (has her imagination ever been this strong?!), then, without really meaning to, she’s forced to take a few steps (the wind is so strong!), that she steps into wet sand and realizes she couldn’t just be imagining this. It’s a little too soggy and gross. She decides, then, maybe it was the last few years that were a very bad, very long, and very strange dream (although she liked the Pokemon…), and this was reality! She giggles and takes off her sandals, putting them higher up on dry sand (hot, hot!), before rushing back to the wet sand to play.

She twirls and spins and laughs, but when she turns back around, searching the beach, she cannot find her mama or her papa.

“… didn’t we go together? We’re at the beach now…”

Wasn’t the car crash and everything else a dream? She couldn’t have gotten here on her own! It’s true it’s not the same beach she knew and even the people looked a bit different, but maybe they just went on a very, very long trip!

Question 1: Vacation?
Ai decided to ask around on the beach, gently tapping shoulders and tugging on sleeves.
“Excuse me, have you seen my papa or my mama? Um, papa’s hair is much more wavy than mine, but grey, and he has a nose this long…”

Question 2: Heaven?
She had to find her parents! They had to be here, right? Because if they weren’t… then the car crash and these past years weren’t all a dream… then, maybe she’s just gone on ahead to Heaven? So she decided, in between asking about her parents, she’ll also ask some people if this place were Heaven!
“Excuse me, is this Heaven?”
Ai thought this was a very clever way to find out more quickly, than if she had only asked everyone one question, then started all over with the next one. She should find her answer quicker this way!

Sand

Ai had never seen sand that looked like this before! It was so pretty and mysterious. Almost like konpeito! But she knew better than to try and taste it… although she really did feel tempted to. It looked so pretty… she sat down and held grains up to the sunlight and wondered if the stars fell down and turned to sand or if the entire island was one very big star broken up into many little stars… oh, but it wasn’t hot or shining, like the sun, were they stars that went out, like switched-off lights or snuffed-out candles? Ai kept wondering, while rolling the little grain between her fingertips.

Whatever they were, they were pretty, so Ai wanted to collect some sand, along with seashells and bits of seaweed and anything else.

[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--]

[PIPPI POST]
xXxBL4ZExXx @(ulterniantraveler)
Did anyone see this up in the sky just now?

[Attached is a blurry photo of something flying in the sky. A blue fish? It was hard to tell, really.]

How kewl is that?! If anyone knows what Pokemon it is tell me!!!!!!! I wanna catch it!!!

[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.]

Excuse me? I'm looking for a friend of mine...have you happen to see him? He's this tall, muscular, blonde...

(Happy May everyone! Feel free to pester any of the NPCs here, or mingle amongst yourselves, speculate about the strange sighting etc!)

bashou

[ Even if he didn't have an impeccable sense of direction, the sudden change in climate and scenery would have told Bashou that he didn't just wander off course during his hike. First, the trees seemed to disappear from view. When his compass and map offered no help, Bashou felt he had little choice but to continue. And now there's a town ahead, where none should have existed.

Bashou's thermal running clothes, which had been perfect for a sheltered forest in Kanto, were fast becoming sweltering hot. Overheating affects a person's mental faculties. He would need new clothes. And so he continues on to the town, where the signs and sound of the local dialect confirms to him that he's truly not in Kanto anymore. ]

A : TURNBLOOM MARKET

[ Perhaps not surprisingly, given the weather, it's difficult to find anything that isn't shorts. Bashou hates shopping for clothes, and so he's irritable by the time he steps out of the marketplace, dressed in a pair of lightweight wide-legged trousers (well, they look wide-legged on him) and an oversized shirt.

He's forgotten to remove the tags from his new clothes, because he has a more pressing concern: his stomach has been rumbling for a few hours now. Lack of proper food, too, can affect a person's ability to think clearly. Fortunately, Bashou was prepared for this; it was only his ghastly but necessary shopping trip that got in the way.

He flops down onto the nearest bench with a heavy sigh, takes a large bento box and chopsticks out of his rucksack, and digs in like a ravenous animal. After a minute or so, he releases his Absol next to him, and gives her the odd scrap now and again. Whatever they're eating, it must be good. ]

B : THE GATEWAY PORT

[ You might sense that this man's not the type who would usually start a conversation, but he's been driven to it by despair. Though his voice remains quiet and his expression blank, there's an undertone of frustration as Bashou checks out the schedule and list of destinations. ]

This makes no sense. Why don't I recognise any of these place names? If I could just get to Alola, that would be something...

C : THE POKéMON CENTER

[ As a Rocket, Bashou has hardly ever set foot in one of these places. Even though he's not wearing a uniform to give him away, he feels like all eyes are on him as he walks through the door and hesitates. Most trainers would probably know their way around any Pokémon Center, since they're all largely the same (so he's heard). It must look odd that he doesn't seem to know what he's doing here.

When he senses someone hovering close by, Bashou wonders if he's standing in an inconvenient place. He flinches and steps aside, trying to look casual. ]

Oh, no, I'm not here for the...healing. Or the storage system. I'm just...I thought they might have maps in here. I need a map. That's all. I apologise if I was in your way.

// Hope this is ok for a first post! Always fun trying to come up with interaction openings for a guy who isn't fond of interacting lmao

domeinion

[The days are here, and the Battle Park is all done up for the show. Banners with a weird shield-like symbol announce the Dome-tide tournament, and everything is organized in an orderly fashion. Everyone who signed up will be directed to their place and given a free water and name tag, and spectators will get a program detailing all the matches and locations.

The prizes are... well, something that a weird nerd would think are good prizes. First prize gets a Nugget, second a bunch of EXP candy, and third and fourth get literally just 30 Ulternian Poké Balls each. She had to be talked out of giving you textbooks.

select your team, b yourself, and have fun!]

[HOW IT WORKS

The bracket was seeded with characters who were signed up on the thread linked above for the month's plotting post! Since there were 10 teams and thus four people would have had to play an extra round, I gave those slots mainly to people who signed up multiple characters. You can find the bracket here with all the results, which were done via RNG.

The matches can be threaded out on the post in their toplevels according to the RNGed results, or can be skipped, depending on player preference. There will be a toplevel for rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4, and another for general spectating.

ICly, this runs on the 12th, but backtags until whenever are fine as always! This is a player-run event, so if you need anything, let me know!]

TURNBLOOM CITY

Today, you might see Red on one of his rare visits to the city. He's sitting around on a plastic chair somebody's dragged into the street, but what may draw your eye more is the poster on the wall next to him. It's a large white paper with large, clumsy lettering in multicolored crayon. The poster reads: "LECTRIC TYPES HAT HIM! WHO IS THIS MAN? TELL RED" and has a shaky drawing that may be somehow recognizable as Attila if you squint. Near Red, you can also see a Charizard and a Venusaur, surrounded by scattered crayons. The Charizard seems to be drawing on a piece of paper, lying on his stomach on the street, while the Venusaur watches with his legs tucked in underneath him, making quiet comments. ...They might be blocking your way.

SHROUDED WOODS

Another day, you'll find Red in the wilderness, his more natural habitat. If you stumble into the right part of the woods near Route 1, you'll see him sitting on the moss, clutching his ankle. He'll look at you when you approach, and if you've met him before you may be surprised by the pain on his usually unexpressive face.

"Help," he hisses out.

(Alternately, WILDCARD! Give me another scenario for meeting Red! He's usually in the woods, the tunnel or somewhere else in the wilderness!)

[Turnbloom City]

[Alice can be found at the Battle Park, checking everything out and holding some paperwork. She's looking specifically at all of the battle arenas, but if she spots you, she'll wave.]

Ulsai! I'm just working some things out with the venue here, but I thought I'd see what all of the terrain courts were like. What's your favourite?

[Or you can just find her around town, putting up posters and carrying a clipboard.]

Oh, did you hear about the Dome-tide tournament? I've worked it out to host one coming up! It'll be fun, do you want in?

(Alice is setting up for the Dome-tide battle tournament, which will get its own post on or around the 12th. OOC signups are here on the plotting post for anyone who hasn't yet! Brackets and winners will be decided through RNG, and you won't have to play through your battles unless you want to.)

[ROUTE 2]

[It seemed like any other ordinary day, but for some reason Ash and Pikachu could be seen standing in the middle of the road looking from left to right whilst wearing a dumbfounded expression.]

Hey Pikachu, are we...?

Pika-chu...

[From the farms, to the wind turbines, to the strong breeze. And of course, the familiar sight of Overlook Hill towering amongst everything else in the landscape. There's no doubt about it... he's back.]

[TURNBLOOM CITY]

[It felt like forever since Ash last stepped foot in this city. But there was one thing he clearly missed from Ultern, and that's the taste of Ultern's island cuisine!

So here's Ash and Pikachu sitting on a bench near a food cart, happily eating Sugar Doughnuts together.]

Man, it's been so long since we've had one of these! You don't find these anywhere else but in Ultern after all!

[The mouse Pokemon chirps in agreement.]

((OOC: For those familiar with Ash or have been keeping tabs on him, they might notice that he's actually been gone missing for a good chunk of the week. Well worry no more! Here he is back in Ultern, canon updated, sporting new shoes, and more than ready to take on new adventures! Also today's his birthday but due to timey-wimey shenanigans, he thinks it's not his birthday yet-))

grapetreasure

[Route 1]

[If you're passing through Route 1 right now, you may notice it's a bit noisy right now. Just as you are on your way, you hear a young girl's shout.]

¡Ey! Out of the way!

[Before you know it, a purple dragon resembling a motorcycle suddenly passes through you before stopping Akira-style right in front of you. The dragon Pokemon seems a bit...mechanized compared to the ones you saw with its LED blue eyes with silver antennas attached to its eyelids and its throat and curled tail resembling glowing blue and yellow wheels before they turned back into silver.

The rider got off the dragon's back and rushes to you, which turns out to be an 11-years-old girl with her hair braided with a red and white hairclip and wore some sort of a school uniform consisting of light purple shirt with purple necktie, brown leather backpack with a grape emblem hanging on the side, purple shorts, black long socks, and brown loafers.]

¡Lo siento mucho! I didn't see you there. Are you okay?

[Turnbloom City]

[If you're in the area, you might see a young girl in a purple school uniform wandering around the city. Looks normal.

Until you noticed a purple cyborg dragon walking around by her side while happily carrying a subway sandwich in its mouth.

Do you want to interact with both of them or just a sandwich-loving dragon?]

megabond

[Drifted into Route 1]

[Being drifted into the Ultern Region seems to be a confusing phenomenon. One moment, Professor Sycamore was in his lab. Then the next thing he knew, he was at the beach standing in front of the sea just as he left to get some coffee at a nearby café. And that's after he noticed that he still has his lab coat on. Well, this isn't the weirdest thing he ever encounters in his life. If anything, finding out where he was transported is the least of his worries.]

[Turnbloom City]

[For some dumb luck reason, Professor Sycamore manages to find his way in Turnbloom City. While he was still wandering around to check out the sites of the city, it doesn't mean he doesn't have time to introduce himself to the locals and other Drifters.]

Why hello! I mean, Ulsai! I was hoping you might recommend me some cafes available here in Turnbloom.

[Otherwise, if you like, you can approach him while he looks around the city.]

gianthobo

[... Listen, AZ is used to drifting places, but this? This is a new one. At least all of his pokemon are with him - including Floette. He lets her out of her ball immediately as soon as he wakes up.]

[His coat is... heavy, but he doesn't change his clothes. He doesn't fit in any of the clothes that he might buy here anyway.]

Turnbloom City

[A shadow might fall over you or your pokemon. Large, imposing... fluffy? Well, that definitely is long white hair poking out from his hat, and the giant man seems to be curious about what's around him. He looks down and takes a step back from whomever he was going to bump into, looking around.]

S... sorry...

[He tugs his hat down a little more to hide his eyes, nervously trying to figure out a route to escape to.]

Route 1

[There's someone by the lighthouse... you might be forgiven for mistaking him for a pokemon, but no - it's just a very large man. He does seem to have an unusual set of pokemon around him - a Torkoal, a Golurk, a Sigilyph, and a... small pokemon that's hard to see until you get close, but it's a strangely-colored Floette.]

[They're sitting at the edge of the cape and he's dangling his legs off the side of the cliffs. His hat is off, so his fluffy hair is on full display.]

red_berry

[STARDUST BEACH]

It's a windy day in Ohritori Island. Not stormy, but the waves are high. And on Stardust Beach, a man is standing alone, watching the waves. He's tall and thin as a beanpole, wearing an oversized plain white T-shirt that makes him look even thinner, like the wind could make him fall over any moment now. But he stands there without falling, motionless. It's a bit of an eerie sight.

If you approach him, he looks at you, hair blowing in his face and covering most of it.

"...Not Alola," is how he greets you.

[POKEMON CENTER]

Later, you can find Red sitting at the cafe in the Pokemon Center, hair still a complete mess from the wind, typing on his phone and ignoring a cooling cup of tea front of him. There's a slightly grumpy Pikachu, also with wind-frazzled fur, sitting on his table and nibbling on a rainbow Pokebean.

But if you're not at the Pokemon Center, you might instead see a post on Pippi, the Ulternian version of Twitter.

ulternnpc

[A Wild Manaphy encounter and Heartswapping with someone close by? Well there's no such shenanigans here on this fine day. The location is the Cafe within the Pokemon Center in Turnbloom City.

In the early hours of the morning the cafe has yet to open its doors to the guests. While the lights are on only Larson and his trusty partner Pokemon Blissey can be seen with two other people: Trip and Gold. As usual, Larson's as bright and cheerful like the rising Ulternian sun followed by an enthused fist pump.]

I'm so happy that you're both here today!

[Of course, it goes without saying that he'd be happy to see them both any other day as well--]

I'm sure Blissey feels the same as I do. Don't you, Blissey?

Bliss!

[Blissey replied with a smile.]

Okay, Trip since you have more experience than Gold here please keep an eye out if he needs any help. Ah, but don't you two worry. Blissey and I will keep an eye out for you too! [He'll place a hand onto his chest.] But I guarantee our customers are friendly, so there shouldn't be any problems I'd hope.

[Larson then paused clearly thinking of what else he should tell them.]

Ah, that's right if you have any questions at all let me know, okay? And don't worry about your lunches! Blissey and I will take care of that!

[A little later in the day -- the Cafe is running as usual! What is out of the ordinary however is the fact aside from Larson and his Blissey running the service both Trip and Gold clearly in uniform can be seen helping out as well. Anyone stepping in for a treat could be greeted by either of them, in fact!

Since it isn't too busy (and even if it was Larson certainly wouldn't mind) guests are free to have a chat with any of them. Just like the rest of Ultern the Cafe has a very cozy and carefree atmosphere to it.]

[WILD CARD!

Just stopping by the cafe for whatever reason? Or wanting to chat with other trainers here? Come up with your own prompt and have fun!]

(OOC: Feel free to start up your own thread or chat it up with

serperiority,

gold_drum or Larson--or all three of them!?)

themaskkeeper

[Someplace in Turnbloom City is a wandering Yamask equipped with a small leather backpack and gold bracers. His arms are curled, hands planted firmly in the straps of his backpack as he takes in the sights and sounds of this new place. He can be spotted at several different locations.]

[A] Stardust Beach

[Chenzira's closely inspecting the sand. He's experienced the sands of Goldenrod Bay and the Sevii Islands but never has he seen anything like this! He grabs a handful and holds it close to get a better look at it. He should bring some back for his trainer...!]

[B] Turnbloom Market

[With a tiny coin purse in hand, the Yamask mutters a "oou-sigh" to one of the shop owners and points to a peach. When the owner tells him the price, Chen looks down at his fingers, humming in thought. He should have enough but...

He looks up to the person next to him, waving a hand to get their attention.]

Suu... 'Guuse me...

[It appears he's forgotten how much his coin translates to and needs help counting.]

[C] Rainbow Plaza

[Chenzira's staring up at the Ferris Wheel, mouth agape. It's so big...! He's seen tall buildings before but never a moving one! And there's people inside. Wow! Plus there's so many different games to play. He wishes his trainer was here so he could experience this all with him...

Obviously pokémon by themselves probably aren't allowed to ride the ferris alone. Not that he'd want to anyways. So instead he just floats there awkwardly, hoping maybe someone will come to his aide and take him on the ferris wheel with them - or play some of the other games with him.]

[ooc: Chenzira here is capable of some human speech but it's rather limited. He has trouble with pronouncing hard consonant though. If your character is capable of understanding pokémon though he's perfectly understandable outside of being mumbly.]

( the sight from the highest vantage point certainly has a way of making a girl feel invincible.

to find a good spot to plot out her surroundings is a good way to orient herself in a new space. she'd be loathe to be caught completely unawares, no matter how friendly the denizens of this island may be. from here, the glittering sea, the canopy of forest, the din of the city and beyond offers her promises of secrets to be uncovered, and experiences to be had.

speaking of which, to whomever might find sharing the space and views with her: )

Pick a direction for me?

( she doesn't care who answers. if she had a proper map, she would've thrown a dart at it to make her decision, but this ought to do too. )

( all work and no play makes for a very dull girl.

this time, the woman can be found wandering about the rainbow plaza. maybe she's encountered trying to cheat at a carnival game, or smooth talking her way into having another round because she totally doesn't think that last go should've counted.

or maybe, if you're the unlucky sap she's squeezed in onto the gondola with (patience isn't a virtue for this one, apparently. but why wait a few more minutes for the next ride when she can just join this one?) )

Thanks for letting me hop in! ( not that she gave anyone much of an option. and now they're trapped in here with her! she winks. ) Chilly out there, huh?
