A Faraway Place is a Pokemon Dressing Room, taking place in the fictional region of Ultern where characters get drifted into this strange isolated region disconnected from the rest of the world. How your character will fare in this brand new world is all up to you. Create new adventures, meet new people, and see new Pokemon while under the bright tropical sun of Ultern!

First Post
[So, primarily because Trip can be still be unexpectedly timid sometimes Trip's not keen on the idea of calling into a radio show, he's going to try and mention Ken instead... except he doesn't know his username either, so. It seems he'll have to ask around...]

T. @(ghostprince) posted: Does anyone know how to contact Ken from that radio show? Doesn't he have an account on here?

Second Post

[The question's also one others might have answers too, so he'll make two posts about it, shortly after one another! They're public peep Pippi posts, so everyone else can see them too!]

T. @(ghostprince) posted: Do any of you other drifted have an Ultern in your world? Or a similar place, even if it's not called by the same name?

[The (very new and nearly empty?) account's not very helpful in identifying him, the profile picture is scenery, although Serperior's silhouette might vaguely be recognizable in it, the location is "who wants to know?" and the bio is just a link to his Mimmeo... it might look suspicious or creepy, but it's rather unintentional!
He's just keeping a low profile and not really much of a Pippi user. His linked Mimmeo is definitely more active, although there's long stretches of inactivity (whenever he gets drifted home—two images are years apart, both during Tanabata? One at the festival proper, another aa cafe, enjoying a meal with a Yamask, it seems...), but it dates back at least three years, and has lots of photographs he's taken, although none are of himself. Just scenery, Pokemon (his own Unovan Pokemon and Ulternian ones he's seen, wild and trained), and quite a few of cafe desserts, and, more recently, and clumsy/modest attempts at cooking.]

1. Morning, Port Opportune

[The ferry from Ohritori has a surprise passenger today! One who definitely doesn't seem happy about being onboard, judging from the way she bolts offboard the nanosecond the ship has docked. Calla is leaning against a post at the dock looking almost as green in the face as a Bulbasaur. A few of the other passengers getting off offer her a few encouraging words or bottles of water even if she doesn't respond.]

[She sits down with a thump on the dock edge, trembling hard enough that she might well pitch over the side if a stiff breeze hits her. She gulps before looking up.]


H-h-h-hi. This isn't, uh, this isn't V-Vermillion City. Did I-I come back?

2. Midday, Adanook Town

[Calla's shed her jacket by now. She's got it balled up and poking out of the shoulder bag she carries with her, and she's staring up at the Folk Museum. Her usual sidekick Bulbasaur is nowhere to be seen. She's got a hand balled up into a fist tucked under her chin.]

It's... not really like the Pewter City Museum, so it... should be okay to go in. I think? Wonder what admission costs...

Is there a way to get between islands not on a ferry?
Boats and me are a bad idea. ):

En route to the Chura Islands... [closed to Buson / Attila (goldandsilver)]

[Though he knows they're only going to another island in Ultern, the sea breeze feels like freedom. Bashou's hair is a frizzy mess by now, tormented by the wind and humidity, but he doesn't care. Buson has been talking about what happens if they go back, and Bashou has sometimes wished that would happen. But not right now.

He still has a lot of problems to solve here, such as how to earn a living, and finding a bearable place to stay. But right now, as he peers out over the side of the ferry and sees Port Opportune in the distance, it feels like a moment that should last forever.


Do people really live on this island? It's so green...

[With that little observation aside, Bashou turns towards Buson. He's not good at starting these conversations, and he wonders if he should forget about it and just keep enjoying the moment. Unsure what to do, he decides to go for the middle ground, asking a question that was supposed to sound casual and open, but which probably just sounds too big...]

So, is everything alright?



[PIPPI POST - open to everyone!]

[There's a couple of posts from someone who seems to be a new user. They have a profile picture, although it's of a Porygon-Z, and the link in their bio leads to a professional profile with a brief resume. Two impressive college degrees in Math and Computer Science, but the rest of the contents might not mean much to anyone who doesn't work in IT...]
