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.] |

Seeing Monkey's new tactic, Abbey and Rotom try to pick up their pace as well. Instead of grabbing just one at a time, the Gligar makes to snatch two or three before flying them back to her pile; meanwhile, the lawnmower sends a cascade of leaves at the fish, sweeping them up and blowing them back to shore where Rin hurries to keep them in place long enough to count. The Rotom would probably have a lot more to its count if all of the Magikarp it's catching made it that far, of course; several fall back into the water along the way.
Up close and riding on Ni's back, Monkey is quickly getting tons more than they are. Ni's very slippery, but that just gave him an idea; he could slide along her scales, like a surfer riding the waves! This is so awesome! And he's caught so many Magikarp, there's tons of them in his arms!
—he probably should have thought about where he was going to put them, whoops. Now he's just sliding every which way, trying not to drop any of them.]
Niiiiiiiiii! Do you have pockets??

[Oooooh welp. That's going to throw a wrench into these efforts.
maybe you wouldn't have lost if you had planned ahead for this, Monkey!]no subject
Why would I need a plan? I'm Rin's strongest pokemon, so there's no way I'll lo—
[This is about the point one of the several dozen Magikarp splashing haphazardly in the water smacks Monkey right in the face, knocking him off balance. Wahhhh, now he's slipping!]

[Well...not really. More like she contorts and gives him a headbutt with her rather large forehead. It's more likely to push him in the other direction than to actually help, unless Monkey is agile enough]
