January Test Drive Meme!





Welcome to Alola


Whether you fell through an Ultra Hole or came through an Ultra Hole while chasing some strange creature, you’re now in the sunny islands of Alola. Things might look peaceful, but you might just be accosted by strange men in armor, looking to take you in. Or maybe you’ll run into other Fallers who are more than willing to give you a hand. Normally the islands would be more welcoming. But arriving here, you’re given a guide from one of the teachers from the school. Brock, Misty, May, Gary, or any of the major professors after your encounter with the previous people.

Unrest

Upon arriving at the Visitor’s Center, the various people willing to give you a hand has diminished a bit as many of them are trying to calm a populace angry that otherworlders are trying to dictate what they should do and how to treat their visitors. You’re still welcome to get your bearings straight here, but it might be just a little empty. It might be a little easier to prove your worth by showing the people you’re one of the good guys.


Break Down the World

3) Guzma, head of Team Skull has given a warning to anyone who has decided to cause trouble in the islands: prove your strength. To this end, Team Skull has created a barricade in several of the ports and major parts of the islands, and has flagrantly set up banners declaring their intent.

You want to start trouble? You answer to Team Skull.


Divine Research

4) It seems like not everyone is causing trouble. In fact, Acerola and Cynthia have called many researchers to their side to comb the texts that were left over from the ancient days about the different stories. Some of them are strange, conflicting. But perhaps you might be able to shed some light on the subject. Most curious is an odd journal that Kahuna Nanu had managed to conceal from the interlopers, half torn apart but is written by a man named “C”.


The Hunt for Team Rocket

5) Not every hero wears a cape. Some heroes wear a giant R on their chest.

Exiled from their home, Team Rocket is on the run. Looking for them might bring you in good graces for the people who want to see them home safely… but there’s also Team Rainbow Rocket members who are also on the watch for them, with dangerous Pokemon partners. Track them if you dare.

The Grand Trials!

6) Not everything is trouble - wanting to keep a semblance of normalcy, the Kahunas are still running trials, still giving prospective trainers a chance to earn a Z-Ring and a Z-Stone. Flintheart Glomgold dismissed the power of Z in favor of his strange armor; it’s time to prove him wrong and train to get one.


The Pilgrimage of Compassion

7) Despite everything, despite the danger, the aggression, the frustration of the land, life will go on. And all it takes is one single compassionate reminder. January hosts the Pilgrimage of Compassion when people walk up the slopes of Wela, and offer gifts to the land. To remember that not everyone is without hope. Compassion is hope, and without hope, nothing is forsaken, lost.

Ohana. Family, and hope, is ohana. Ohana means, no one is left behind. Or forgotten. It takes one little thing, and the Kahuna will lead the people on the walk from Akala Port to the top of Wela Shrine in this Pilgrimage.
