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!

Reira Akaba | Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

[soft_focus]

[[OOC - Note; Reira has a permanently active Empathy ability- however, if you would like to opt out of this, please just note as much when you tag for now. As it is, Reira's replies will only make note of other characters feelings if they are mentioned in that character's tag specifically.]]

[ARRIVAL]

The child who has fallen recently is wearing clothes that seem as though they could fall apart in an instant. They are weathered and worn, and the backpack is assuredly the newest thing about the ensemble- that, or perhaps the tablet device on her arm. Reira is a child who is no older than 7 by all accounts, and she is only now looking at her new 'passport' with a blank, difficult to read expression that doesn't suit her in the slightest. There's a little stamp on it, and there's people everywhere, and yet somehow despite her empathetic abilities she doesn't feel entirely overwhelmed.

Everyone is...nice, and means to be nice, it seems.

"Um..." And now they're supposed to have a tour. "...which way..."

Help...

[POKEMON]

Reira has encountered many pokemon, but somehow nothing has stuck. The birds, in particular, seem to adore her- not all flying types, notably. Simply...the 'birds'.

Flowers, as well- not all grass types, but simply flowers, have gravitated toward her naturally, and to a more confusing end she's occasionaly even been followed about by a lunatone.

Yet nothing has stuck.

It is very odd, and at some point one of those kooky Tapu are probably going to get involved...at some point, anyway.

For now, she might need a guide.

(But at least someone got her some proper clothes in the meantime.)
