Week 21.

[azumods]

WEEK 21 It's been a while since you were last in Eterna City. While it seems you've suffered another setback on Sunday morning, hopefully it won't completely break your morale; there have been many losses lately, but you have to keep going, especially once the state of things in Eterna City become more clear to you upon your arrival there. The city, for lack of a better word, seems torn - the buildings seem almost patchwork in places, having been torn apart at the seams and replaced with things that seem to have come from elsewhere and nowhere all at once. Parts of other buildings, parts of trees, parts of roads, even - stay in one spot long enough and you can see it happen. It isn't ripples or pulses, like it was with Dialga; this is violent, something sharp and harsh whipping through the air in a burst of energy, tearing through all inanimate objects in its path and replacing them with something that frankly shouldn't be there. Thankfully, the cause of this doesn't seem to be targeting you; it will leave you unharmed, though your Pokémon are definitely aware of it and the rending will cause them to flinch whenever it fires off, regardless of if it hits them or not. It's likely a stressful time for them - just as it is for the locals, who don't seem too willing to leave their homes at the moment... CURRENT LOCATION: ETERNA CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: PLAINS/FOREST SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week twenty-one 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.]

He was too confident in his ability to destroy anything he wanted. I mean, the trainer who tried to stop this wasn't able to succeed...he probably thought he was totally unstoppable until we came along.

Except for all the resets to this place? I mean, I guess none of the resistance was very effective...

[Ugh, he can relate and he hates it.]

Heck, maybe he thought we'd be easier prey. Not made by their gods, but most of us don't have any gods backing us up either, right?

[gekkaju]

Yeah...I mean, from his perspective, we don't have anything going for us. Any of us with powers in our own worlds had them stripped away when we woke up here, and we didn't have the advantage of growing up with Pokemon and knowing how everything worked, either. We shouldn't have been a problem.

[eudaimonikos]

Maybe we were going to be like advance scouts...send us back to our worlds, try to have us kidnap a few more people? Lots of us seem to at least know the people who would've been the strongest resistance.

[Atsushi's eyes widen at that suggestion. It's not something he'd considered until just now.]

You have a point...that's...that's a terrible thought. I'm really glad they never got away with anything like that.

[eudaimonikos]

Well, it sounds like it would have fallen apart well before it got off the ground. Sending us away would have made it even easier, I bet - away from Cyrus's influence and all that?
