Week 5.

[azumods]

WEEK 5 As of morning the next day, it seems the rain has stopped; with Azelf awakened and your newly-hatched companions by your side, it's possible that you're feeling a new sense of resolve regarding what needs to be done - and, perhaps more importantly, your ability to accomplish it. The device Maylene gave you certainly does seem to work; activating it will reveal a dark portal crackling with energy, shades of pink and purple swirling brightly around the outer edges, and those of you that walk through it will find yourselves quite suddenly standing somewhere else - there's grass beneath your feet and an unfamiliar city to the west, and the place you're standing seems raised up in some way; turning around once the portal has closed behind the last of you will reveal a massive bronze statue depicting a Pokémon of some sort, though what it is seems to be a little difficult to tell... The trip to Eterna City may leave you feeling a little dizzy and disoriented, and for a few uncomfortable moments you're likely very, very aware of your organs, but the effects will pass after a few moments and you'll soon feel right as rain. Of course, it'll likely become obvious very quickly that you aren't alone near that statue... Either way, it's a long journey up to Snowpoint City; you might want to take some time to make sure that you're prepared before you set off. It really does seem as though finding Azelf at Lake Valor has done the world some good, though, along with your combined effects on the world already; hopefully the Guardian at Lake Acuity in the north will be just as helpful... CURRENT LOCATION: ETERNA CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week five 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!]

It makes me wonder which one...if I'm right, anyway.

[ It sure doesn't...

Oh well, while they're looking over that statue, he figures they can stand to chatter some more. ]

How's everything been going with you and your Pokemon, by the way?

[ Everyone's gotten a new partner, but Ventus doesn't think he's seen Zelda's new one yet (along with a few others.) ]

[hyruglyphics]

I believe so, yes! Miphanus [ Well, that one's floating behind her. The other two are in their balls. ] is ... well, has been showing increased interest in things. As for the other two... One of them only was born the other day and has shown little interest in anything.

[ And Saber just wants food. She always wants food. ]

[ventulus]

Yeah, I know Aster has only seemed a little different but it hasn't been too noticeable or anything. And as for Aurora I need to kind of keep an eye on her sometimes.

[ Hence why Klefki in a Pokeball for now. Togepi is currently holding onto Ventus' pantleg, and Munna is resting nearby, kind of looking dead to the world (in spirit) ]

What kind of new Pokemon did you get, anyway?

[hyruglyphics]

[ Honestly, Zelda's not really gotten to know Ventus's Pokemon very much either. So he pauses in her search, pulling alongside one of the legs of the statue so take out a pokeball and... Out comes the Alolan Geodude!

Looking dead to the world, but. ]

This is the little one! They're some sort of a Geodude.

[ That said... ] But oh, what does Aurora get up to?

[ventulus]

She seems to think it's now funny to play 'hide and go seek' when it's time for bed or if I don't put her in, she kind of pokes me awake early in the morning with one of her keys...things like that.

[ Ventus says...though despite it, he's smiling a bit after he took a glance at the Geodude. He didn't know there were different types of the same Pokemon, but it made sense, he thinks. ]

I still let her out a lot, though. So, it's not too bad.

[ And since he's not moving around, given their pause in actions, he lets Klefki out from the Pokeball, who looks content, floating around Ventus happily. ]

[hyruglyphics]

Oh, so you're a mischievous one, are you?

[ Zelda hadn't gotten much chance to interact in close proximity to the keyring! So she's going to take this time to lean in and smile at the key, going in to shake one of its "keys" ... hands? ]

[ventulus]

[ Klefki seems to make a noise (or rather just saying her name) in an affirmative way, which makes Ventus put his hands on his hips. ]

You're not supposed to be happy about that, you know.

[ He's smiling, though, and the Pokemon looks curiously at Zelda as she shakes one of the keys. No one's ever tried to do that before! ]

[hyruglyphics]

[ she can wrap a finger around one of the keys, at least? But all the same, she softly laughs at that before she says, ]

You really shouldn't give Ventus so many problems.

[ But her own town is more amused than anything. You do you, Kelfki Aurora. ]

[ventulus]

[ You know that mouth that sort of looks like a keyhole and like it can only remain like that? Well, the mouth kind of turns upwards into this kind of expression when Zelda says that and she wiggles the key that Zelda has a finger wrapped around.

She seems to find this entire thing amusing. ]

Wow, I see how it is. See what I have to put up with?

[hyruglyphics]

She does appear to be quite the handful!

[ Honestly, it's amusing. It's really amusing, and in that regard, Zelda's beldum urges itself forward a little to focus it's eye on the Klefki's face! Yeah, what's up with you!! ]

[ventulus]

[ When the Beldum does, the Klefki just jingles another one of her keys happily in the other Pokemon's direction just because she can. Apparently her messing around is what's up... ]

You can say that again!

[ Ventus blinks and then looks between the two Pokemon. ]

Hey, did you see that? Looks like they're sort of interacting with each other.

[hyruglyphics]

I can imagine they must be, right?

[ The Beldum can only communicate with weird beep noises but then, Pokemon can understand each other as a general rule so like. Miphanus is just sort of greeting her politely. ... It's mild mannered. ]

[ventulus]

Do you think they'll become good friends?

[ Klefki is making her own noises of excitement -- she's giving a decidely less formal response and moves from Zelda to the other Pokemon. ]

[hyruglyphics]

I hope so? It would appear that Aurora is quite ... friendly?

[ I mean, the Beldum will just bob after the greeting and then... well, it asks if she can move all those keys freely or not? Does she just have a lot of arms therefore? ]
