Late September/Early October Test Drive Meme!

Fall has come! With September in full swing, the Harvest Festival done and over, the rest of the month has begun and moving into October, the rest of the month is settling in. Pumpkins are coming into full ripeness on Poni Island and Akala Island, and there is much to do. The Music Festival is coming still and there's plenty more to see. Pokemon School's first major school event is coming up and there will be more things to do. And as always, more Fallers are appearing in and around the city.

A. Arrival

Another wave of Ultra Holes have opened up over the Island, alarms have appeared and the Ultra Guardians as well as Bewear has come into play. This time, the Fallers have been asked to intercept the literally Falling people who are coming out of the holes and brief them and bring them to the Pokemon Center, ie Immigration to get checked in. Wicke is there to answer questions but a few volunteers may be there as well. The experienced Fallers can get you up to speed.

B. The Alola Community Visitors Plaza

A venue usually for tourists, new Fallers are given a chance to see the main tourist area for Alola, in order to orient and familiarize themselves with the nature of Alola and Pokemon in general. A far cry from the disorganized mob that was originally there, this time, there are people set up in the stands, ready to receive tourists and Fallers alike. Pamphlets, interviews with locals and tour guides, Ride Pokemon to take you around the island, and various other places are available. Please look around, the choice is yours.

C. The Hau’oli City Markets

This is where the marketplace stands, full of fresh fruit and food. Those who are hungry can be treated to a delicious taste of Alola. Not once, not twice, but more times than they can imagine. Your coin is good here, even if it’s alien in nature. Even if you don’t have coin, you’ll be fine. Ohana. No one is left behind or forgotten. We’re not about to let people go hungry in this world. Nature’s bounty is for everyone, humans and Pokemon alike. There’s no need to steal, just ask the marketplace for some food if you are very hungry. Even if you’re shy, Miss Anela will offer you a snack.

D. Job Board

Odd Jobs have been posted here right now, thanks to the efforts of the people who have decided to help the Fallers out, and it’s also a help wanted board for those who want to earn some coin in the middle of the week before the beginning of the school year. Tasks such as bucking crates of Juice off a truck, to doing some simple paperwork in an office for a few days, and even tending Pokemon in a farm on Akala Island. The choice is yours. Get out and explore.

E. Exploring Melemele

If you wish to explore Melemele, it is a big island, and there is plenty to see. There are Forests, Honey Fields, Hot Springs, Beaches, and many other places. Melemele boasts one of the biggest cities Hau’oli City, and is the capital of Alola. Here, up at the top of a large plateau is the challenge area where Hala offers the Grand Trial. The caves are full of Pokemon, and your Pokemon are eager to prove themselves in a Trial.

F. Grand Trials

The Four Kahuna are accepting challengers once more. Those who wish to participate in the sacred trials are allowed to participate in the Grand Trials once more, to earn the right of the Z. With the goals in mind, you may undertake a Trial to earn a Z-Crystal first, and then take on a Grand Trial for a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. The choice is yours which to tackle first.

G. The Music Festival

Musicians from all over the world are coming to Ula'ula in order to play music, and you're invited! You can play music, watch the people enjoy the sights, it's a wonderful festival for all.

"Pokemon," corrected Krim gently. "But yes, we have been mistaken for one, though through no fault of their own. These people are not accustomed to the things from outside their own worlds after all."

"My name's Krim," said Krim. "This is Yamper."

Yamper yipped at Della delightedly.

“Uh, that’s what I said. Never mind.” Della said, shaking her head. “Anywho, glad I’m not the only one in this situation.”

At the introduction, she blinked. “Oh, right, manners. Name’s Della Duck and this is...”

She began to look around.

“...this should be where that Farfetch’d would show up.”

"My bad, sorry, I'm used to reiterating for people," chuckled Krim. "Call it a bad habit."

Yamper yipped, sniffing around. Where could he be...?

“FEEEEEEEETCH’D!”

And the duck Pokémon would finally descend from the sky and hold out its leek in a protective manner as it came between the two.

“And this is Farfetch’d the Overprotective.”
