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!

"Fine so let us settle up here and find a buffet. so long as they have Ramen."

[takeittothebridge]

"Works for me. Just gimme a minute."

Picking up his bowl again, he drank what was left in it before starting on the rest of the food.

...was he even chewing?

She shrugged and called her her bill while she finished up what she had been working on. She ate more slowly and delicately most of the time, but she still managed to put away far more than it looked like her frame could hold. Her manager said that it was all the exercise she did coupled with a naturally high metabolism, but her pet theory is that the charas take a lot out of a person. Kukai ate the way she did, and yeah he did sports, but Yaya was almost never without ice cream or candy outside of combat and her biggest sport seemed to be jumping. To conclusions. She'd never seen a fat chara bearer, and frankly, having two, she figured burned more calories. Not that she'd ever share that secret with this fool.

She paid, left her tip, and put on her sunglasses, leaning against the doorframe to wait for him.

What most people didn’t realize, at least not at first or completely, was that Bridge wasn’t completely human, and his inhuman half was what resulted in him eating so much. As much as he liked food, having to eat so much did get annoying at times. But honestly, it was better than the alternative.

Despite the large amount of food, it was all gone almost alarmingly quickly. With a few gulps of water, Bridge paid his own tab and went to meet her at the door.

“So, know any good places around here?”

[utauhoshina]

"Nope. I'm new here myself. But since you're going to be treating when you loose, you can choose."

[takeittothebridge]

He snorted. "Hopefully you're not too full when you have to eat those words."

Still, if she was feeling so confident even after seeing the food he'd already packed away, he had a feeling she wasn't a pushover either.

[utauhoshina]

"Considering you're the one who will be eating humble pie? And crow? Lead on." Seriously going to challenge her? On food eating?

If he could see magic/souls he would see a small little devil and angel pop out of her pocket to land on her shoulders, the devil giggling.
