Week 3.
WEEK 3 The past weekend has given people a lot to take in, and a lot to think about. You're permitted to stay at the resort all day on Sunday, should you so choose; relax and replenish yourselves with regards to sleep at least, seeing as it's much more comfortable than the routes or sleeping on the floor of the Pokémon Center. Commander Saturn is gone as of last night, and no one seems to be coming after you - though there is likely something you'll be aware of by the end of the day... Whatever happens, it's evident that you'll have to leave this place eventually, and Monday should find everyone back on Route 213. It's been repeatedly recommended to move toward Pastoria City; whether you believe the source of said urging to be trustworthy or not, it's still a good idea to move in that direction - a city means supplies, after all, a place to restock and spend a few days. Everyone should be able to find Pastoria City by Tuesday afternoon; it's another unfamiliar place, with various things to see and look at over the course of the next few days. It's far smaller than Veilstone, but it borders up to the ocean by way of a small jetty on the southeastern side of town with a few boats moored to it. Otherwise, it's surrounded by forest, and the main path winds its way lazily through town, weaving between personal residences and a few places of business. Of course, it's still not nearly as lively as it should be; the inhabitants here all seem as devoid of spirit as everywhere else; fortunately, a select few of your companions do seem to be perking up a bit - perhaps that's a good sign, in the end. POKEMON AVAILABLE: IN CITIES / NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week three 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 this weekend!] |
SUNDAY
...
However.
Anyone attempting to check on them toward the end of the day will quickly become aware that both of them are gone without a trace - any supplies or clothes they brought with them are gone, and the rooms they were in are completely clean and done-up. Any attempts to ask the staff where they've gone will turn up nothing - they haven't seen anyone leave, much less a pair of people fitting Alice or Chitanda's descriptions.
It's as though they'd never been there. But you definitely know and remember that they were.
"Unsettling" is probably the polite way to put it.]

[...All in all, it tastes strangely comforting. They're even still warm, but if you're a late riser they're just as good when they cool off. And there's more than enough for all twenty-four of you, as well as plenty of fresh coffee.]
[The culprit was probably obvious by now, Ignis sitting off to the side with a cup of black coffee; one of the pastries split neatly in half between his two Pokemon.]

So for several hours, Rin can be found cooking in the kitchen! While the cooks don't seem to care she's moved herself into her space, she thinks they'd be irritated if they were their normal selves, so she does her best to include them. "What ingredients would you suggest compliments this flavor?" she asks. Other times she can be overheard saying, "Can you teach me how to make that? I'll teach you a dish I know in exchange." If anyone else comes in and offers to help, Rin probably won't turn them down. This is a lot of work.
When all is said and done though, anyone who comes to get lunch at the restaurant will find tea and dim sum has been prepared for them. Basically a lot of Chinese-style dishes, with a twist to work out the strange flavors of the Sinnoh region. She's worked hard to get it as right as she can, though. There's all kinds of dumplings, steamed buns, congee, cold and hot spring rolls, you name it. All come with both a meat and vegetarian option (she's noticed a lot of people here seem to be leaning more towards veggies these days).]
Ignis and the others made breakfast, so I pulled my weight and made lunch. There's treats in the back if you want something for dessert, too. Egg tarts and youtiao for us, and then I got the staff to make some special food for the pokemon.
[Rin hangs out at the restaurant there for a while, taking a break to eat and get off her feet, maybe talk to anyone who comes in if they feel up to it. She'll seek out and deliver lunches personally to anyone she doesn't see come in, just to make sure they eat.
And it's sort of in the process of that that she realizes she hasn't seen Alice or Chitanda all day? She's not really talked to either of them much—Chitanda not at all—but she's used to seeing them around. When she tries to deliver lunch to them though, they're nowhere to be found.
So. That's a thing.
...Rin didn't really know them at all, but their disappearance is still frustrating. Yesterday was frustrating; even if she think the meeting with Saturn ultimately went well, it still makes her angry. Too many reminders of certain people in her life, both good and bad.
When it starts to get late, then, Rin leaves the resort by herself to go down to the beach. Bajiquan isn't a martial art that has katas, really. It's more about technique, and strength conditioning, which makes the beach a unique training opportunity. Your hands and feet sink in wet sand, so push-ups and handstands or any activity on it is really unforgiving. Rin practices all of those, but not alone—she has her Mienfoo with her, and instructs him to do the same exercises.
They train not just on the sand, but in the ocean itself. In short shorts and a tank top, Rin wides out until her shins are submerged in the water. Monkey does the same, though being much shorter than she is, he can't go as far out. Rin turns her body sideways so she can watch over him and the incoming waves at the same time.]
Do as I do.
[Telling him this, she lifts her leg high in the air, her foot above her shoulder.]
The point of this exercise is to see how long you can hold this side kick without losing your balance. When you fall, try again.
[If the previous exercises were unforgiving, these ones are tougher. Rin herself can only go for ten seconds at a time in the water, and Monkey much less. But dutifully he does as he's told, and seems to get better each time.
After more training like this, when it's dark out, and Rin's hips and thighs and wrists are burning from the strain, she finally decides to call it a day and will sneak back to her bungalow, careful to be quiet in case anyone's asleep. From the late afternoon on then, Rin can be caught either leaving the resort, training at the beach, or returning late in the evening, probably super soaked and tired, but ultimately looking less frustrated.]

While he's cooking, you may come in. There are a few pots already with curry sauces of varying quality. If you peek inside, you'll find some look good, others...not so good. Everything is edible, but if Kiryu's still cooking than that means it's not that good yet, right?
And then he's done. Kiryu takes the pot to a table, and tells Daigo and the still unnamed Heracross to sit to the table. Measuredly, Kiryu serves rice, and pours curry all over it. It's...it's looking fantastic! He did it, he made pretty damn good curry after a few hours. Kiryu serves the food to Daigo, who eats it with a lot of haste. Takes only a few seconds to devour the curry rice]
Nobody was going to take your food away, you know.
[It's the first time he's seen Daigo react like that. Even with better food, he had always eaten without enthusiasm. A good sign regarding Daigo's personality shining through? Maybe. Heracross receives his portion too, eating without much energy. If you approach, Kiryu puts a hand on the rim of the warm pot]
Do you want some curry rice? It's pretty good, I promise.

Later, she's in her room with the door wide open, packing up her things in her backpack again. She'll wave if you pass.]
Hey, how much food d'you think we need for this? Probably not a lot, the city's pretty close, right?

At sunrise you can find him by the pool. He's got his shoes off and his pants rolled up so he can dangle his feet in the water, but he doesn't seem to be all that interested in the pool itself. He's staring up at the sky, just watching the sun rise with a contemplative expression. There's a lot to work through and honestly? The whole thing's sort of messing with his head.
That's exactly why he's not going to spend the whole day dwelling on it. Hanging out at the hotel is nice and all, but Yuri will head down to the beach for most of the day. You can find him training his Pokémon sometimes (Roc seems to be getting into it, though the Scyther doesn't care much at all and just does what he's told) and other times you can find Yuri practicing his own moves. He's picked up a stick from somewhere and he's using it in place of a sword, but some of his moves involve punches and kicks and they're surprisingly showy for a swordsman. Roc and the unnamed Scyther sit nearby, watching their trainer. If Yuri spots you while he's training he'll wave you over.]
Hey, you want to spar?
[Later on in the evening you can find Yuri flopped on the ground outside one of the villas, using the light to read through one of the guides he picked up. He doesn't look all that interested in it, but it's better than letting his mind wander over everything that Saturn had to say. He's not really the sort to sit around and think, he'd much rather be doing something. So. Reading it is.]
"Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon. The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects." Let's see... You're a Bug- and a Flying-type, so that'd make you weak against...
[He puts the book down so he can't cheat and frowns at the Scyther.]
Fire, definitely. Electric... Flying, too... Hmm. Rock?
[He glances back at the book and sighs.]
Definitely Rock. And Ice too... Man, that's a lot of weaknesses to keep in mind.
[Want to help him study? Or maybe you want to distract him? He'd definitely like a distraction, let's be honest here.]

Later in the afternoon, he can be found at the beach, clearly working out, the lack of an arm not slowing him down much at all. Even if he's been depowered, he's still clearly strong; his upper body strength is such that push-ups don't appear to be a struggle for him at all.
In the late evening Bucky can be found sitting at the edge of the pool. He doesn't look like he's in any hurry to jump in, but he does look like he's thinking hard about something.]

Once that's done, though, he goes out to train his Pokemon some more. He won't go very far from the resort; it's not like you need to, to find wild Pokemon.
Anyone who happens to be out on Route 213 in the late afternoon might see a sudden flare of bright white light. It’s only there for a moment or two, but you can hear Michael gasp as it fades.]
Oh, Cat Janet! You’re enormous!
[Your CAT JANET has evolved into Liepard!
Her ribbon collar is lying torn on the ground, which is probably the best way that could have gone: she's far larger than she was, with her head nearly reaching Michael's waist. She doesn't seem particularly concerned with what's just happened, even as her trainer runs his hands along her new body, checking out her larger teeth and claws. Fancy.
That evening, Michael seems rather pleased with himself as he and his newly cheetah-like starter return to the hotel for their last night in the comfort of civilization for a little bit. There's probably food set out already, but he'll poke around the kitchen to try to find extra. She's so much bigger - she probably needs more food, right? He seems to be considering just skipping over the kibble and going for whatever this meat in the fridge is.]

'Kay, we're good. C'mon, let's get going!
[Down Route 213, Chelsea will send her Pokémon out to train off and on. Sunflower is getting stronger, for sure, but she's also hesitating when something looks bigger or stronger than she is. Chelsea looks to the sky and thinks, petting the Maractus.]
Is it weird to be worried about you and glad at the same time?
[Later, when they stop to rest, she climbs up on a rock and looks out to the ocean.]
All these boulders are blocking off the world, huh... They must get stuff air-lifted in. Or did, when the world wasn't so messed up.

Spending time floating in the bath gave her plenty of time to think, though, after their dinner with Saturn. It's for that reason that she doesn't offer a word of complaint when the group moves out onto the Route, heading towards Pastoria City.
If you want to talk to Rey throughout the day, you'll find her walking along with her head buried in her book of Pokemon, flicking through the pages. She's covering the names of each species as she moves through it, muttering to herself before revealing the name with what is obviously varying levels of success. She'll act similarly whenever she walks past a wild Pokemon, saying the name out loud before looking it up in her book.]
Barbeach...? Oh, Barboach....close...
[Later in the evening, Rey has put her book away and seems more interested in staring into the fire, absently playing with the beacon on her wrist as she does so. As always, her Golett and Riolu are sitting beside her, similarly focused on the flames.]

...what do these symbols even mean? Don't... put four baseballs in the washing machine? What?
[ah, the lament of a man who has literally never had to wash his own clothes.
anyway, once he heads off on the road again, he's... well, he's keeping up with the group, but he's taking a more leisurely pace and evaluating the Pokemon he sees along the route, getting a little more disappointed as he goes along and kind of muttering to himself...]
Hmm... well, I suppose one of the Grass types would resist Electric while being more my style... maybe I should pick up one of those cherry creatures? They're more elegant than the Ground types, if I remember the evolution correctly...

When they get to Pastoria City and have a look around, Aya realizes there is a problem. While Cynthia may have footed the bill for them before, she's nowhere to be found now. This means trouble when it comes to things like buying more supplies. She's not going to just go steal things.
So eventually, she does what every kid has done at some point in their lives when they want to make a couple of bucks. Aya manages to find a folding table and a couple of chairs, borrows a pitcher, lemons, and ice (with the promise to repay that) and a big piece of paper. It reads: Lemonade,

He'll do what he can to try to shake it off a little, but that's going to prove really difficult, honestly.
He can mostly be found out and around in the evening, seeing as he'd gotten to the Center and promptly passed out on the floor in one of the side areas. Thankfully he didn't have too many weird dreams, though he still had a few; either way, he's obviously trying to not let it bother him, and as such he can be found in the PokéMart, looking through the toys and trying to see if he can get Lobanja to do something that isn't just stare at them.]
Come on, there's got to be something here you like.
[So much staring. After a while she just kind of yawns? And then flops down on the floor of the store.]
...Yeah, I know, me too. But now isn't really the time, you know?
[And that is how he is ending up just kind of carrying a half-asleep puppy under his arm like it's a fucking football while he follows his pantslizard around, seeing as Hlača's just kind of toddling around the place and looking at everything. Jake isn't really sure if that's a good sign or just something that's passively happening, but either way, it's more interested than he's been in pretty much anything, so he's willing to indulge whatever's going on for now.
Of course, late at night Jake will find that his sleep schedule is now completely fucked and he's frankly okay with that; he's got a flashlight and some rope of all things on him, as well as god only knows what in his pockets, and he's standing outside the entrance to the marsh. If anyone comes over to see what he's doing, well...]
So, I've got a terrible idea and no impulse control. You coming with me or not?

gym time, friends
This works against him, unfortunately, when he uses a little too much effort to try and push the door open, stumbles inside from his own momentum, and falls right into the pool that sits closest to the entrance.]
Gugh! Agh, what-?!
[Lucky for him, he fell on the stairs, so Vee's able to pull him out by biting onto one of his socks and tugging him out slowly. Monta, on the other hand, is staying riiiight next to the door. gym rating is 7.8 too much water for this monkey. bye.]
Oof...what kind of gym is this...? [This is more like a public swimming pool, isn't it...?]

... I mean this counted as an investigation last time? (but if it doesn't that's cool)
Her first day is going to be spent knocking on the doors of various domestic houses in the city. Asking if they have a spare bed for her to stay at, asking if they have work she can do in order to gain some rupees, and just generally getting a feel for the population of Pastoria as compared to Veilstone, if there is a difference.
Either way, it's later in the evening when she's down around the shore towards the boats, finding a table near there where she can sit, pulling a coat tighter about herself to have that as a view before she goes into wherever she settled for the day. Her actual intention is to work with her efforts to deconstruct and understand a Pokeball? She's taking her screwdriver to it again, trying to poke about on it to find the power source, now she's at least partially gotten the outer casing off it. ... Or well, that's the plan, and you might come across her doing that right up until she sees... sea slugs.
... Sea slugs coming up out of the ocean and into the city. Some sort of persistent migration up into town. ... No wait, some are going into town, and some are going out of town. ... Some sort of exchange...? ...Well, she'll be observing that, possibly even quietly following the path of the blank-faced slugs which seem to be doing little more than moving between two locations. ... But what do the slugs want in the city? Maybe there's food? ]

WEDNESDAY
breaking and entering part two
Michael's made himself quite at home in the Pokemon Center, along with his Pokemon. The recently evolved Cat Janet takes up a lot more space now, enough that he's requisitioned an extra mattress for her. The green ribbon she used to wear around her neck is now tied in a neat little bow around one of her front paws like a bracelet, though the pin is gone. It's gotten a little dirty.
Cat Janet in general is getting dirtier lately. She likes to run off ahead now? Even by the shore, in all that awful sand. Michael's taken to sitting and brushing her in the morning after he's gotten himself ready, getting all the grit out of her pretty fur.]
We need to get you a new collar. It was a good look.
[Once he's ready for the day, he spends the start of it just poking around the town, exploring a little. If he sees anybody else out, though, he'll approach them.]
Hey - you mind helping me with a little experiment?
[Later in the afternoon...well. That conversation with Liam didn't exactly make him feel fantastic about things, but it had proved helpful in the end, hadn't it? So there's that. And there's also the fact that the Gym here is just as dead and empty as the one in Veilstone. Is this a thing?
Michael wants to know. So he's walking into people's houses again, just knocking loudly on the doors before opening them right up as long as they aren't locked. This time he's only got one question:]
Hi, are you familiar with Crasher Wake? Or...a sort of smarmy-looking kid with blue devil hair?
[He mimes devil horns. Okay, that's two questions.]

Gym - SWIMMING TIME
But Rey is nothing if not resourceful.
So if you happen to be wandering around the gym at any time on Wednesday, you'll be greeted to the sight of Rey waist-deep in one of the shallower areas, nervously eyeing the deeper end and running her hands along the surface of the water. Her two Pokemon are standing on the edge, Golett watching with markedly more interest than Riolu. The former also happens to be soaking wet, as if it had leapt into the water at one point.]
...
....surely it can't be that difficult....
[Someone is trying to teach herself to swim.]

When you enter the Pokemart, you'll find Kiryu behind the counter, with a blue apron that has a white Pokeball symbol on the front. No nametag]
Welcome to the Pokemart. Please browse our products. If you need any help, please ask.
[Yep, he's hard at work.
Later he's at the Pokemon Center working there too, hauling what seem to be very heavy bags of food for Pokemon and medicines. Behind him Still-Unnamed-Heracross is following around, carrying large plastic containers]
So you're a Fighting type too. I should have guessed -- you got strength.
[Yeah, he realized his team has two Fighting types. He decided he's fine with that, even if it's kind of a disadvantage.
Finally, Kiryu sits with Daigo by the edge of the water. They have a small box of bowties, bought with part of the money Kiryu earned throughout the day. They have supplies, they have everything else they may need, and now they have bowties. It was a good day]
You really need this many bowties?
[Kiryu is willing to indulge Daigo on this, yep]

It all starts when a little blue critter winds up toddling into Camilla's range; Camilla's mostly out toward the beach looking for some battle partners for her darlings, and she sends Arion on the attack. It's simple enough, especially since he's become rather adept at battling; the Wooper is a slippery little opponent, one that Arion has enough trouble trying to use his new technique on. He manages to score a few hits, though, and seems to get the upper hand on the creature.
...Of course, one thing Arion didn't consider is that the creature would try to walk away from the battle. It's something Camilla herself pays little mind to--]
Come along, dear, we'll find you another opponent. It's nothing you need to worry yourself over.
[--but Arion? Yeah, no. He's sure as fuck not gonna let a perfectly good pile of EXP just toddle away!
He starts after the creature, Camilla's calls for him to come back ignored in favor of pursuit. It results in Camilla running after him as they all find themselves in the Marsh, the Deino's pursuit bringing it in deeper and deeper as it follows the creature. Camilla herself manages to lose sight of him along the way, and the marsh itself looks absolutely treacherous. It's not going to stop Camilla, though, shouting out--]
Arion?! Arion, where are you!? [Camilla's using the stick she trained the Deino with to hold herself up as she tries to transverse the marsh--she thinks he went this way? She's not sure, but--] Oh, gods, where have you gotten off to now...
[Once...that little misadventure is over, you can find her outside of the Pokemon Center in the evening; she's looking rather unfortunate, covered in all of the mud and muck from the marsh, and it looks like Arion himself didn't fare much better. With a promise to payback one of the townfolk for allowing her to borrow a nice washbasin, it looks like she's managing to clean him up of all of the muck and gunk from getting into that mess.
She's...not pleased, to say the least, and it's an unattractive look for sure, but she's just very quietly kind of stewing after all of that. This little rascal really was a handful...]
Arion...darling. Please, when I tell you not to pursue something, do not do such a thing. You could have gotten seriously hurt!
[Arion doesn't really give much of a reply--his temper really seems to only flare, not sustain--and Camilla simply seems to shake her head and go back to scrubbing his fur.
Funnily enough, said little runaway of a Wooper is actually still alongside them. She's...not sure if she managed to catch the damn thing by doing nothing but catch it's interest or what, but he follows instructions when asked, filling the basin with more water and then just kind of laying on the ground. It's one of those evenings.]

God. Kayneth has been trying so hard to be thrifty, but he doesn't entirely know how to be thrifty and also he has no idea how to translate his skills into... this. He starts out in the morning doing a little art in the Pokemon Center with his Frillish and Murkrow... well, Velasquez is at least putting down little diagonal patterns that might look like waves. Maybe. Huginn is just staring kind of blankly at a piece of paper and not exactly doing anything. Kayneth, meanwhile, is doing a nice little picture before he stops very suddenly and...]
What am I doing. No one's going to buy art in this godforsaken place.
[...but you know. He's got to think.
...
HMMMMMM. Actually, he does have an idea, given what the jobs might be in this world where Team Galactic's the only employer. So.
He heads to the outside of the Pokemon Center and puts up a sign that reads as follows:]
Math, Chemistry, and Physics Tutoring at Reasonable Rates
[There. He's probably got this. Probably. If anyone comes around.
...
please let someone come around.]

Both Miphanus (her Beldum) and Lickitung are out of their balls, and while she's still leery of it, Zelda is looking for wild Pokémon about the city that the both of them might test their mettle again, and grow at fighters. The issue is, around the city a lot of the ones she finds out and about are electric and/or steel types which whole fascinating, are not actually a great test. In the end though, she does find two potential opponents: she finds some Houndours, and she finds ... well, she finds another Munchlax, like the one that Chelsea found before. Though Zelda's... well, Miphanus seems into this, floating with a more obvious interest as she's- ]
I challenge you to combat!
[ She announces to the Pokemon, who seem to have this look of "what? Well? Ok this is happening." before she, well, starts her battle with either Lickitung or Miphanus. She wishes she could work out if Miphanus can do more than it's heavy tackle?
But either way, you might see her doing that, or you might later in the day see her recovering at the Pokemon Center, amazed at this place's ability to instantly heal them. Still, she... ]
I believe we can now be certain Miphanus is a steel type...
[ Though what else is... questionable. ]
