Test 5.

VERITY

The journey this month has been easier on you in several ways; despite your losses, your numbers have been bolstered by the addition of two more this month, and unlike the unforgiving terrain on the way to Lake Acuity the routes to Lake Verity seem downright hospitable - they're straightforward, the climate is far more temperate, and there are patches of cheer visible here and there along the paths in the form of those brightly-colored flowers, even as you make your way toward the lakefront.

But the lakefront itself is perhaps unsettlingly silent; a reminder, perhaps, of what you're here to do, of the importance of your task.

You'll reach the lake sometime in the evening. The sun isn't down yet, but it looks as though it won't be too long before it dips below the horizon; there's more than enough light for you to see what the lake itself looks like, however - the water is still and clear, to an extent where you can see straight down to the bottom regardless of how deep it gets. There's no bridge or other way to cross over the lake that you can see, but once again there's a large rock formation rising out of the center of the lake and a good-sized opening in the stone, leading to what's likely a system of caverns further inside.

Your exploration starts here, next to the crystal clear waters of Lake Verity; what happens next is up to you.

[w-wait did he hear that correctly? he didn't, right?]

H-huh? I-I mean, really? I-I, uh, they're nothing that special, just copied from football, and uh, I did lose to you that one time though, so, uh...

[What a case he's building for himself.]
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

Well, yes, but you were at a disadvantage as far as types go. Even if they were copied from football, I wasn't really expecting to see them applied to Pokemon combat the way you did, so I think things might have gone differently if you led with your Eevee and understood what type its bite was.

Oh, um...maybe?

[Honestly, he's not convinced, but still...]

That battle against you taught me a lot about my Pokemon, so, um...thanks...

[He doesn't think he ever properly thanked you for that, really.]
enjoymyatelier: it's difficult to believe but people actually like this guy (possibly gentlemanly)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-08-24 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It's nothing, really. I should probably thank you for the challenge, as well.

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-08-24 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...thank you...

[sena, you just said that, stop bowing]

Uh...I'd be happy to test our skills against each other any time, if you want-!

[he's an athlete! staying fit is important and challenging your limits is also key!]

A-after we get outta this, obviously, um...if you want itsokayifyoudontandimactuallyimposingorsomething.
enjoymyatelier: kayneth looking smug as hell in a way that could possibly be construed as amicable (you cannot defeat him.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-08-24 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course. Considering what we're up against, that would be a good idea.
