Week 10.

WEEK 10

You've found a few new friends this past week, and along with them, a new town to explore.

Granted, there doesn't seem to be much, particularly when compared to the cities you started out in; at the same time, the air is fresh with the scent of flowers and honey wafting on the breeze. Along with the usual Pokémon that can be found in populated areas, it seems that several Combees have made their home here - they can be found drifting along idly, seeming no more capable of true emotion than anyone or anything else, but perhaps they're trying their best. It's a little difficult to say; they are still bees, after all.

That said, the world continues to change around you, bit by bit; you still have a long way to go before you've saved everyone, but for the time being you should probably recharge, and take some time to sort through what should happen next. Talking to the locals may net you the information that there's something odd about the meadow north of town; perhaps a few of you should go to check it out...

CURRENT LOCATION: FLOAROMA TOWN
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week ten 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.]

It depends on you now, no reason to leave you. [It's kind of a cute bug, if bizarre] Did you give him a name already?

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-06 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! His name is Chazuke.

[...

He laughs weakly, glancing off to the side.]


It was, uh...the first thing I was thinking about when I woke up and got out into the forest, so I started calling him that.

[Kiryu turns his face away, he has a bit of an amused smile. Chazuke, eh? That's kind of funny. For a moment he wonders how this Pokemon would feel if he knew he was named after cooked rice]

It's an original name.

[Not many would name their insect that, yup!]
gekkaju: (11)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-06 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Listen he's an orphan who really loves tea-on-rice let him live...]

What did you name yours?

[He asks, glancing down at the panda-like Pokemon with Kiryu.]

Daigo. He reminded me of someone back home. [Daigo looks up. Is that true? He doesn't remember Kiryu commenting that. Kiryu says to him:] I'll tell you about him later.

[So, names!]

Naming them is hard. I still need to come up with names for two Pokemon and I just can't think of anything yet.

Names related to food are always good! They're pretty cute most of the time, too.

[No you're just a hungry boy.]

Food... [Well those could be as good a name as any! He better ask his Pokemon first, though. Just to make sure they're okay being named after food. Hm...

Kiryu gets his Nidorino out of the Pokeball, and picks him up. Look at this rodent, Atsushi. It's a furry ball of toxins]


Okay, what food name would be good for this one?
gekkaju: (60)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-07 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh that sure is a toxic rodent. Atsushi doesn't think he'll ever get used to seeing Pokemon because they're all just so...varied.

He puts his hand against his chin and hums as he looks the Nidorino over for a long moment.

Food, food...]


You could call them Shoga...like pickled ginger? Or...Yokan, since they kinda make me think of sweet potato jelly.

[Neither of these things are...at all inherently toxic, but at least pickled ginger is strong as hell.]

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-08-07 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shoga. Shoga sounds nice. Pickled ginger indeed is a strong, flavorful thing to eat. Kiryu raises his Pokemon a bit higher, looking at him carefully and almost intensely]

Yeah...the color's kind of similar too. You like that name? Shoga?

[What's Shoga? Nidorino doesn't know. He doesn't have any idea what 'pickled' or 'ginger' means. They're food, apparently? That's all he understood.

...

You know what, Kiryu, why not? Shoga nods, pleased]


He likes it. Shoga it is.

[Atsushi had also been trying to think of some kind of hard spiky fruit since this Nidorino is plenty spiky, but....he's pretty sure Kiryu wouldn't want to call his Pokemon Durian.]

I'm glad it works for you both! And I think it really fits him, too. Don't you, Chazuke?

[Said to the Wimpod still scurrying around, who briefly stops to look up at Atsushi, then Kiryu, before going back to scuttling.]

[Kiryu is grateful to you, Atsushi. As thanks, he decides to check Atsushi's knowledge about what's shaping up to be essential in the Pokemon world: battling]

You had to fought any wild Pokemon yet?
gekkaju: (66)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-08 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Fought...?

[He looks down at his Wimpod.

WEEEELL...]


One time when we were going through town we ran into a flock of black birds...Murkrow? Anyway, they were all clustered around some food dropped on the ground. They were being pretty protective of it, though I don't think they were going to try to fight us either way.

[Still pretty...blank, all things considered.]

But when we got close enough and they took notice...Chazuke ran away before I could do anything.

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-08-08 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he gets nervous towards birds. To them he could look like some kind of bug.

[And everyone knows bugs don't mesh well with birds, yup]

He may feel better near a Pokemon that isn't a bird.
gekkaju: (68)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-08 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I hadn't thought of that, actually...

[He'd just assumed he was probably going to react like that to...pretty much anything. Which, really, he can't blame him all that much. He'd rather not have to fight things too in a perfect world.]

Have you guys been having to fight wild Pokemon a lot?

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-08-08 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Before we used to seek them to train our Pokemon by fighting them. Lately they're starting to get daring and search for fights by approaching us.

[Well, not exactly, but Kiryu so far has interpreted they approaching as fighting intent -- because he's always eager for a good battle]

[Oh that's...not great to hear.]

So what you're saying is...

[Atsushi casts Chazuke a weak look despite knowing the Wimpod isn't paying him any attention right now.]

Chazuke is going to have to learn how to fight before we leave.
takestheblame: 8 (8)

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-08-09 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
That may be necessary. No pressure, though. [Chazuke may not be in as much danger as it sounds, yup] It's better to do it at Chazuke's pace. Nothing wrong if he doesn't want to fight.

[Technically, nothing's stopping Atsushi from getting Chazuke back into his Pokeball and running away. Wild Pokemon sure aren't going to chase him!]

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-09 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...I'm not sure how much progress we'll make, but I'll see what we can do. Maybe we can get some pointers from you guys, or something.

[He feels kinda like a slacker for not training the whole month he's been here, but...he never thought he'd need to.

Plus he...still isn't sure that Chazuke can really even DO anything.]
