Week 2.

[azumods]

WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 213 POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two 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. Don't forget that a write-up is due next weekend!]

...It's not a bad thing, dear. They don't perish in a battle, you know? They react much the same as that friend of yours; they pass out from exhaustion, and it's done.

[It'd at least make sense if she was worried about the creatures dying, at least.]

[hyruglyphics]

[ I mean.

... That's good, though she does worry if the knocked out ones are easy pickings for predatory actions? She nods, and the gestures to Miphanus. ]

... I would appreciate your insights on direction.

[Ah! Okay, that she can help with. She hasn't read much on Beldum herself, but...]

Well, to start with...do you know what sort of fighting style he has? What moves he can use--that will be the first step into finding a good opponent for him.

[hyruglyphics]

In truth, I know little about Miphanus. I only know the species name - Beldum - because of a traveler Ari found back in Veilstone. It is not listed in the books, so I believe it is foreign to Sinnoh. Though from its form I believe we can deduce they are a steel type.

[ She glances back at the eyeball arm, which floats closer in, knowing its been addressed. ]

About the only move I have known it to have is a very potent looking tackle.

[anythingforyou]

Then you'll want to avoid any ghostly foes; that attack falls into a category that they're completely immune too. But, otherwise...you will be more than fine to take on just about anything else, I believe.

Why don't we go look for a suitable foe, then?

[hyruglyphics]

Yes, let us.

[ Okay so... time...

To find something along the beach here to pick a fight with, Miphanus behind her. ]
