Week 15.

[azumods]

WEEK 15 The past week has been a difficult one, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier; for the time being it seems the world is stagnating. This much lack of change isn't normal, at least not compared to the first time you've arrived; there are only two possible conclusions to be drawn - either Cyrus has finally succeeded in what he's been trying to accomplish, or some sort of drastic action is going to need to be taken before this world can even begin to be saved. That doesn't mean you have no potential resources, however; outside of a bit of a setback that will hit your group on Sunday morning, the departure toward Iron Island is a reasonably smooth one. Granted, it's a bit odd given that the sailor taking you out there is just as startlingly blank as the rest, but at least he seems to know where you're trying to go, it appears to have been discussed with him in advance, and getting you there is possible. The trip out there by boat will take half of Sunday; hopefully you enjoy being on the open ocean for that long. But eventually a rocky island will fade into your field of view on the horizon, and when you're allowed off the boat it'll become clear rather quickly that the island is very, very large. And with so many massive caverns to go through, it will soon become very obvious that this isn't just going to be a day trip. Finding Riley looks to be a fairly difficult task, but it isn't impossible; furthermore, there may be reasons for hope to be found in the abandoned mines of Iron Island. There are a few people here, and while they seem a little strange still, they also seem to have their spirits a bit more intact than those on the mainland; talking to them will reveal the same difficulties and conversational problems that the other citizens of Sinnoh were experiencing for a while, but they aren't nearly as blank as they used to be... CURRENT LOCATION: IRON ISLAND POKEMON AVAILABLE: IN CAVES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week fifteen of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend.]

[That will make Lucario puff up his chest a bit, while Kirlia just...kind of continues to stand there like the most zen Pokemon that ever existed. Trotting over, Rey places a hand on Lucario's shoulder (because she can reach his shoulder whilst standing now!! Wow!!)]

I actually caught Rio-Lucario in my second week here, so he's been with me a while. Apparently they need to feel strong emotion towards their trainer in order to evolve, so I...actually didn't ever think he would.

[What with the....everything Cyrus did, and all. Smiling, Rey turns her focus to Atsushi.]

If we wanted evidence that we are making a difference...well. I think this is pretty good.

[Aw...that's really nice to hear, actually. Knowing that a Pokemon needed to be strongly bonded to evolve...even if the rest of the world has gone bad, at least that means tiny differences still remain.]

I couldn't agree with you more, Rey. I'm sure we'll keep finding examples of that, even if they're a little bit harder to find, now.
