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...

CURRENT LOCATION: SANDGEM TOWN
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES / NEAR WATER

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[It's natural someone's cry of alarm would attract attention. Kiryu hurried and, well...you know what he found. What the heck is this stench? Covering his face with his sleeve, he looks around, surveying for casualties. Oh, there's one]

Found yourself in over your head?

[When Kiryu rushes in, he'll find Atsushi on his ass on the ground, both hands covering his mouth and nose while Chazuke is hiding somewhere up underneath him as the boy hacks and coughs against the awful smell. Just a few feet in front of him is a quite irate looking Pokemon, her hackles raised from having accidentally been stepped on.

He turns back to look at Kiryu, but only briefly since he's afraid to take his eyes off the Pokemon for long.]


I d-didn't know it was there, I didn't mean to-!

Calm down, you'll freak her out further... [He's...he's at a total loss of what to do. Skunks aren't exactly common in urban Japan, he has no idea what should be done other than moving slowly and backing off. That's worth a try] ...step back slowly and don't make sudden movements...

[Anything that doesn't end in escalation should be good, he figures!]

[Atsushi keeps one hand over his nods while the other pushes him up to his feet as he carefully stands, his stomach turning at the stench he's now definitely covered in as he takes a shaky few steps backward. But it seems like the Pokemon's point has been made and she's not going to gas them again, at least not unless she's attacked.

She gives another soft growl before turning to lick her tail, smarting from being stepped on. Now, Atsushi realizes what happened.]


I accidentally stepped on its tail, I think...

[HE FEELS...BAD...]

[It's such a relief to see she isn't getting ready to attack again. Kiryu allows himself to let his guard down a little]

Did you already apologize? There's nothing to lose by doing such a thing.

[Atsushi would never step on someone on purpose, he's sure of that. If he apologizes, he'll mean it]

...give me a second.

[Atsushi takes a deep breath and holds it for a moment as he reaches into the bag he has hanging across his body, rummaging in one of the pockets until he pulls out a berry. He pushes the bag around himself until it's out of the way so he can kneel back down and set it on the ground a ways in front of him.]

Here. I really didn't mean to disturb you...hopefully I didn't hurt you too bad.

[The Stunky eyes Atsushi warily, but after another moment of licking she turns her attention to the berry. It's been a bit since she's come across any of those growing wild, so she wastes no time stepping close enough to grab it between her paws, backing up again so she can nibble on it.]
