Week 5.
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... 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!] |

[well, Sena comes from a sports manga, so his reasoning Totally Makes Sense.]
Aha, yeah...It's kinda like the Death March we did back in America, but there's a lot more rocky terrain. [He grins brightly.]
Practicing with Monta and the others...at least I'm not forgetting anything.
no subject
[what's an eyeshield]
You've done a death march?
no subject
Er, no... [He's only run into one other dude claiming the Eyeshield title so far.]
It's just the jersey number. They were number 21 on the Notre Dame team, so Hiruma gave me the number 21 jersey too.
[And an eyeshield is the stupid blue thing he attaches to his visor sometimes when they go hiking.]
Uh, that's what it was called. It was just a training hike in America...
["Just a training hike."]
no subject
[He takes a moment to reminisce.]
Would not recommend it. In either capacity, even when you're supervising it gets pretty hot.
no subject
This is somehow still less scary than dealing with Hiruma.]
Yeah, I can see that...I mean, ours was just in America's desert, but I guess the ones you've done are hotter than that?
no subject
[He lifts a hand to his mouth for a moment, a nervous motion not quite like him.]
But anyway. Good luck with running faster than the other mystery athlete.
no subject
[Sena might not be too smart, but he isn't oblivious. It's not hard to see Michael acting unusually bashful about something, and it occurs to Sena that a Death March hosted by a real demon was probably...
...probably not something done to make anyone stronger. Or more confident. Or...anything beneficial, really.
Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it.]
Um...thanks! A-anyways... [How did they get on this topic again? Oh, right.] I think I might be able to help these guys use Double Team better, if it works the way I think it does...
no subject
Well, once the topic's changed, Michael's very quick to shake off whatever that was.]
Sounds like it's worth a shot. Monta might be better at learning that, he runs more like a human.
no subject
[He glances down at his other Pokemon. No offense you guys, but he's not entirely sure how the footwork would work with more than two legs.]
I bet I can teach them while we're running - I learned the Devil Bat Ghost by doing that, anyway...
[Okay, but it can't have just been running. What else was it?]
