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! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend.] |

Now you really are being dramatic.
[Honey you haven't seen dramatic yet. Give it a second give it a second, think of the saddest thing you've ever—YUP, HERE WE GO, HERE COME THE WATER WORKS.]

It's alright, we're... names, right?
[ As for the Porygon though, it ... well, to start with, it Traces the ability of the Rotom, but given that's just levitate, it just sort of floats higher than it already was. So instead it just sort of tries to copy the crying. How do that? But as it trie to do that, it's not so much real waterworks on it so much as pixilized tears form on its face and then drip down... not off the face, but around the body, as if the porygon head was a screen ]

Shaking her head at the sight, Rin brings her focus back to her own pokemon though, and sighs.]
It's not that I'm avoiding choosing a name, or anything. If I had one that suited you, I would have named it a long time ago. I need time to think on it, or otherwise poll the masses.
[Which is about when Monkey pipes in from the background, suddenly enthusiastic about this conversation. Whatever he says, though ("I vote Pigsy!") makes the Rotom gasp and whirl around, dropping its crying act to zoom over to its rival. How dare Monkey suggest that! That's not fitting at all!]
no subject
Miphanus, though, zooms over to this argument to beep in, "why that name?" ]
To be honest, I've left a lot of mine linger nameless until their personalities showed themselves. This one here - the Porygon, I've yet to name for that very reason.
no subject
Because Rotom's totally a Pigsy! That's a character from a story our trainer told us.
We just got a dragon horse, and I'm named after the coolest character, so now we just need a Sandy and a Pigsy!]
I've noticed that. I remember how long it took for you to name Saber and Miphanus. So that's what the hold up was about, huh...
[Rin tilts her head.] You know, there are a few cultures from my world who do something similar.
It's not uncommon in African countries for a baby to have two names; one that was chosen for them by an elder when they were born, and then another that was picked out for them by their parents after a month or so.
[On the pokemon side of the conversation, Rotom interjects that Monkey is forgetting a character. More than Pigsy, I should be named after that one!
To this, the Mienfoo's face twitches, but he seems to be pretending like he didn't hear him say anything at all. Must have been the wind.]
no subject
[ Like herself, "Zelda" - itself, a legacy name. Still, she smiles for it, rocking a little in place.
As for Miphanus, it raises a hand, "what character?" ]
