Week 11.

[azumods]

WEEK 11 The meeting with Mars could have gone infinitely worse. It's difficult to say that it went well, admittedly, but at least it didn't go as poorly as it could have; either way, her departure leaves you free to look around the Valley Windworks, and it shouldn't take you long at all to find something interesting on the floor. It's bright yellow and glowing, set into the ground like any other normal part of the floor otherwise; stepping on it will cause the world to spin briefly in your field of vision, and when it straightens itself out again, you find yourself standing in the corner of the lobby of a large building you've never seen before. Welcome to the Jubilife TV station. The place seems staffed with Galactic grunts, but they leave you alone outside of just watching you in that dead-eyed, vaguely unnerving way they have of watching everything; they'll let you leave without a fuss at any rate, and it's probably for the best that you get yourself situated for the time being. After all, you've got an entire new city to get accustomed to. The people here seem to be trying to get themselves situated as well, though obviously that's for entirely different reasons. The world continues to change, around them and you both, and overall things do seem to be going in a direction that might be considered favorable. Noticeably, the grunts in the TV station don't seem to be changing at all, regardless of what happens to the other locals; that might be cause for some concern... CURRENT LOCATION: JUBILIFE CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week eleven 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!]

trainer's school

[Yuri's here to explore the city, and he wanders by the trainer's school while Atsushi is sitting on the steps out front. Yuri tips his head a bit while he debates about interrupting, before suddenly speaking up.]

So what's the Rock-type weak against? No cheating.

[He'll at least come over so we can have a proper conversation, but this is... apparently a thing he's doing.]

[gekkaju]

Dh-uuuh-

[Atsushi fumbles the book before holding it down against his legs so he isn't tempted to look, biting his bottom lip as he tries to think because his first instinct is to actually try to see if he can guess it right.

He could have sworn he just looked but now he's at a loss...so he tries to deduce the answer.]

Wwwaater?

[He's pretty sure there's more but it's escaping him right now.]

[fatalstrikes]

Good call, that's one of 'em. There are four others, got any ideas?

[Hmm... You know what, he'll just move to park it on the steps with you without asking. Now we're officially blocking anyone from entering or exiting the school, but it's fine, probably.]

[gekkaju]

There's four?

[He squeaks as Yuri sits down with him. Now he feels like he's taking a test or something...]

Shouldn't rock be strong against most everything?

[fatalstrikes]

Every type has strengths and weaknesses. I'm pretty sure Rock's weak against so many things because a lot of types don't do very much damage against it. From what I've read - and seen - most Rock-types tend to take a lot of damage before they go down too.

[gekkaju]

[Okay, well...what else might be weak to a rock, he wonders?]

Mm...what about flying?

[fatalstrikes]

Rock's good against Flying. I figure it's because if you throw a rock at a bird, it'll take it out of the air.

[yuri no]

[gekkaju]

O-oh...I guess that makes sense?

[What a horrible thought...but also one that, unfortunately, does actually make sense.]

What about ground, then? Would ground cancel out rock, or something?

[They're so similar it confuses him at times.]

[fatalstrikes]

Honestly, I thought the same thing. They're pretty similar, right? Turns out Ground's actually good against Rock. And I'm pretty sure Rock doesn't do very much against Ground. Good luck trying to remember that one, though.

[gekkaju]

...that's...really confusing.

[IT'S REALLY CONFUSING]

What am I missing, then?
