Test Drive Meme - July/August

[bestmomever]

Welcome to sunny Alola! The sun is shining, and it is July! Which means it is the warmest, most tourist-y days of the year! And that means it is fun in the sun and there is plenty to do. As the summer days are out and the Pokemon School has yet to officially begin its school year, let’s give you some orientation prompts for the area.



1. Arrival
You’ve just arrived! While not an ideal prompt for your test sample, it makes for a good testing for your first reaction here! Having fallen, gotten off the boat or plane from another region, your passport is stamped and processed. If you’re a Native, there’s plenty to see, and can go about your day. But if you’re a Faller, there’s a tour guide waiting for you. Just hold on tight!


2. The Sandy Beaches

Perhaps you’ve had the time to acclimate yourself to the area, and just want to relax now. It’s time to relax in the sunny beach, throw yourself onto the sand and surf, and just chill. You’ve had a long,tough time, and now just want to sleep. Or maybe you’re too excited! This is another world, or another region! Perhaps you’ve been planning this trip to Alola for ages, and now its time to play! The choice is yours!


3. Shopping

What’s a trip to Alola without shopping. There’s food, accessories, more food, clothing, and tourism. Ride some Pokemon, find some things to do. Eat some malasada and shop at Aina’s Kitchen and Team Rocket’s Honey Donuts. If you want to escape the heat, there’s always the mall.


4. Pokemon!

Of course! Pokemon are everywhere. And maybe your Fated Encounter is upon you now. The Tapus are urging a Pokemon to come to you, be it in an Egg format to make its way into your hands, or perhaps a bird or a bug or whatever. Somewhere, a partner is waiting for you, you just have to meet them. And then, perhaps, you will be able to make friends! Just remember in this world? You don’t catch Pokemon -- Pokemon catch you.


5. Travel

There’s plenty to see on Melemele even in one day. There’s a lot of places to travel even by foot, and a lot of room, even in this place. There’s forests, hills, the town, the smaller suburbs, and beaches, an island off the coast, and the honey field even within walking range. Take time to explore and get to know the place, you may be staying for a while until the Ultra Guardians can send you home.


6. Battle

What is Pokemon life without Battling? Now that you have your Pokemon, you can battle with them. But Pokemon battles aren’t just about training but about forming a bond. There’s no such thing as levels in this world, the level system isn’t really a thing here. Sure there’s math and science to count the precise numbers of a Pokemon’s strength but we don’t dwell on this sort of thing. What’s important is forming these bonds with your Pokemon, and learning how to communicate with them, making precious ties with them. Eat, sleep and cherish them as your own family. Manalo, and Ohana. No one is left behind, or forgotten.


7. Freeform

Anything Goes! Come at you, this is a wide world, make up your own prompt!

The Angel would happily snuggle back. The little devil would stay floating just out of reach as she gave the pokemon a rude rasberry.

"I rather doubt it," she said, blandly. And yes, that is what he got for umbrella theft.

[blue_ice]

"Not interested in adopting any yourself, I take it?"

Sure, Goomy's a little weird, but he's...friendly. It's sort of nice once he manages to wash the slime off.

[utauhoshina]

Wow, did he ever stop talking? "Some of us have enough troubles without willfully adopting more," she said dryly, steadfastly ignoring the little angel who was enamored with the idea that they could adopt cute animals like Goomy.

[blue_ice]

"Suit yourself."

Fine, she wants awkward silence? She'll get it. There's nothing but the sound of Goomy cooing...yeah, sorry, the little slime dragon's not shutting up any time soon. He's just gonna keep making a cute little pout.

Kaiba pets him...and quickly dips his hand into the pool to wash it.

[utauhoshina]

The small angel would happily chat with the Goomy, the devil eventually getting in on it too. Utau was clearly trying to pretend that Kaiba and his blob did not exist as she rolled onto her belly and put her head on her arms. She didn't dare actually sleep with a stranger this close, but she could fake it easily enough, dark sunglasses dropping over her eyes.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba is relieved by how quickly Goomy is recovering. He seems happy, babbling for no reason in particular. Eventually, he seems satisfied with the small creature's progress.

"Hm. We'll get out of your way now."

Kaiba lifts himself carefully, tilting the umbrella to cover her more fully. Goomy still seems to be waving at nothing in particular. Odd.

[utauhoshina]

The angel was sad to see them go, and waved sadly.

"Don't hurt yourself on the way out," Utau said cooly.
