Week 12.
WEEK 12 For the time being, it would seem that you're back on the routes again. Route 202 is thankfully a simple one - it's straightforward as compared to the winding paths of Eterna Forest, with a clearly marked path surrounded by trees. The usual patches of tall grass are present here, though they can be avoided if you really want to stay clear of them; it's a fair easier walk than most of the routes you've traversed so far, and mercifully it's also a far shorter one. It seems August is being kind to you in that way; there's decidedly less walking required of you, which is likely not all that unwelcome after the frozen hellscape that constituted most of July. As before, the changes to the world are still present, particularly in your own Pokémon, are still occurring but seem to be slowing down a bit as the month continues on; a worrying trend, perhaps, but they haven't stopped altogether. That said, however, there's a change to the route that you may see from time to time - patches of those bright flowers in varying colors will show up along the routes themselves here and there. Perhaps a sign of gratitude from a friend you've helped out... By Tuesday morning you'll find yourself in Sandgem Town. It's very small, similar to Floaroma Town in size, and the town itself smells vividly of the saltwater of the ocean; the main points of interest seem to be the research lab and the beach to the south of town proper, though there are a few locals present as well. Your stay here shouldn't be long; you're actually very close to Lake Verity, and it won't take you long to reach it given how relatively simple and straightforward the routes here are. Thursday morning will see you on Route 201 - it's just as easy a walk as the previous route, if not easier, and if all goes well you should be able to find the lakefront by Friday evening... POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES / NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [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!

[Yaaaay, he's gonna get to show his trainer the new friends he made! Quaver flutters up onto Ignis's shoulder, just sort of assuming that this is okay.
Quaver has joined your party!]

Hemera, go find Michael. I’ll be right behind you.
[So hey Michael good buddy, how do you feel about an irritated Absol coming to annoy you?]
no subject
Okay, do it again. [Lena used Baton Pass! It looks like some sort of weird, bizarrely quick tag-team between her and the beetle. Michael tilts his head like he's trying to figure out how this is even a move and not just switching out.] Well, hit it, I guess.
[Is this how specific he always gets with move names?
Anyway, he's pretty easily distracted by irritable Absols. And Ignises. Ignii?]
Hey, Ignis! You heard about my new beetle?

[Ignis folded his arms with the distinct tone of Mom Is Very Nettled, frowning.]
Is it often in the habit of startling the living daylights out of people?
no subject
[Did he hear that earlier? Yeah, totally, he just didn't feel the need to investigate.]
Yeah, he does that in fights. It sort of makes other Pokemon act drunk. [He can't really tell the difference between a use of Chatter and just a normal parrot scream, though.]
