Test Drive Meme - October/November

Late October/Early November Test Drive Meme!




It's late October. After the Team Rainbow Rocket attack, life has slowly come back to normal. The people have relaxed for the most part, but there's a sense of unease knowing that Alola was under attack from Team Rainbow Rocket. But the people of Alola are grateful for the Ultra Guardians and have redoubled their efforts to accept the Fallers and help them with whatever there needs to be. To this end, a new doctor has been instated in Alola General, the first to have come willingly through the Ultra Holes. A relief worker from another Earth named Dr. Angela Mercy. She'll take care of your needs.

Oh also, Acerola has begun campaigning for the local spooky day of Halloween, as the Ghost Pokemon have seemingly multiplied on Alola! With more and more spirits, Greedy Rapooh, her main Pokemon, has started showing up everywhere on the island to make a fuss along with a ton of Ghost Pokemon to make mischief! Still, life goes on in Alola, and on the 31st, the island will be decorated for treats, and a small mini-festival for the day as people celebrate the ghost pokemon.


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. For the end of the month, it is now decorated for Halloween.


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. This time however, it is now serving Halloween themed treats and pumpkin treats as well.


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. There's also now halloween themed decorating jobs and pumpkin harvesting related things.


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. You can also check out Ula'ula's Ghost Town if you want, the ferry is open this time, and Acerola will show you around her library.


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. Acerola's Library/The Ghost Town

Home of Acerola's Library, Greedy Rapooh's tombstone and graveyard and the Grand Trial of Ula'ula, this spooky little town is a historical site and a place of history. You can find amazing things in this place, and it connects to the Desert. Yes, a literal desert where you can travel to an Oasis and meet the Tapu of the location. There's also a fantasticly high amount of Alolan Meowth here as well. It's a Dark Type paradise.


H. Melemele General Hospital

After the battle and maybe just for a checkup, all Fallers and everyone else would be introduced to a new unique Doctor that has arrived. Apparently, on her side, these Ultra Holes have been opening up on a regular basis where she has been stationed, so she was sent through. Deciding her best option was to set up as a Doctor, Dr. Angela Mercy is now the Fallers Primary Physician. While her healing is both traditional and literally near-magical nanotech healing, and she can revive you or your Pokemon from a near-KO state, she prefers not to be on the front lines unless truly required. But as a member of the relief team from another Earth, she vows to help everyone with their troubles. You can talk to Angela any time you need, even just for a visit.


I. Aether Labs

Now that there's new critical data brought in by Courtney's spies into Team Rainbow Rocket, the Ultra Guardians can go on the offensive. Which means, Aether Labs is open to the science community! The scientific community heads can now access the labs, and the resources within. Under the guidance of Wicke, Faba and, Burnet, you're allowed access to Aether's resources to build and invent and upgrade and repair your own equipment.

"... Hard to... explain... but that's the gist. ... I hardly understand it myself. Just... torture. They torture Pokemon to be weapons," Wes shakes his head. He doesn't want to think about it. Back to the other statement.

"... Need to... be slow with science and be patient. Learning takes time..."

Arrival

Ahh, the clear blue sky, the sand beneath your feet, the feel of the wind on your face! There's nothing quite like it!

Enjoy it while you can, because there's a young woman and a little girl bodily picking up anyone they see and throwing them directly into the Pokemon Center.

"This section's clear! I'm going to look for survivors, Phym, you guard the building!"

The little girl nods at this, looking extremely determined.

"Right, Mommy! Be careful!"

Oh boy what was this nonsense now?

First Team Rainbow Rocket, then the guy with the bike who was stealing Pokemon, now this? Sigh, couldn't Alola catch a break?

Guzma looked up from the literal Bake Sale he was manning at the approaching woman with red eyes and black hair and frowned. Slouching towards her, he exclaimed, "Hey, you know, throwing people into the Arrivals Center while we're trying to sell baked goods is bad for business. Also, chill."

Can he even get two words out before she bodily tosses him into the building?

[personal profile] devilish_chrysanthemum 2019-10-09 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...wait what.

There's a long pause as Alice stares blankly at Guzma.

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-09 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Che... so lemme guess: you fell through a big glowing rainbow portal and now everything is weird an' now nothing's right and people are looking at you funny. Right?" said Guzma as he went and fetched a cookie bag and offered it to Alice.

"Here, free samples. Don't hurt my bottom line none. I'm Guzma, head of Team Skull. An' this here's my Bake Sale. Welcome to Alola."

He gave her a once glance over and said, "I like your look. Real edgy. Perfect for this weather. That being said, ya wanna stop an' orient yerself before gettin' into trouble. The island's pop sick of that right now. Nice weapons though. Damn edgy."

Guzma being helpful? Tepig's can fly.

Phym, attracted by the sweet scent of cookies, wanders over and clings to Alice's free hand as she stares up at Guzma.

"Mommy? I don't think this is the Wastelands. Wouldn't everyone already be dead if it was?"

"This is Alola, a island chain south-west of the Unova-Orre Continent," said Guzma, gesturing behind him at the huge Welcome Center sign. "Ya might want to get checked in first."

He went and fetched a cookie. "Here, have one kid. It's chocolate."
devilish_chrysanthemum: (Default)

[personal profile] devilish_chrysanthemum 2019-10-10 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
C-chocolate?!

There's a slight pause as Phym embeds her Arc in the ground before grabbing the cookie and retreating behind her mother to eat it. Alice just sighs.

"Guzma, right? I'm Alice, this is Phym. You're sure nobody's going to die from being outside?"
fallers_npcs: (ya boi - guzma1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Guzma gives her a eye and a raised eyebrow. "Alice right? We're outside. It's 35C. I don't think anyone's going to give a f, er, heck right now if someone's going to die, unless it's from heatstroke. There's nothing in the air that'll kill anyone that's fer sure."

"Welcome to sunny Alola, where you can get a nice tan."

Nice censor there Guzma, keep from swearing in front of the kid.
devilish_chrysanthemum: (Default)

[personal profile] devilish_chrysanthemum 2019-10-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Phym peeks out from behind Alice, crumbs around her mouth.

"Thank you very much!"

Alice slings her Arc over one shoulder and ruffles Phym's hair with her free hand before looking at Guzma.

"I have a mountain of questions, but first, is there somewhere safe to stash these where they won't eat anyone?"

...yes, she is in fact indicating the weapons they're carrying.
fallers_npcs: (ya boi - guzma1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Guzma sighed. "Lemme make a call." He said, pulling out his Phone and dialing a number. "Yo, it's me, Guzma. Yeah, you bum, get your friends down here, we need a ride to the Aether Foundation. Kay. Pick up for three. Yeah, it's a new Faller and her kid. Uh huh. Got it. No I didn't fight em, you fu, er, whatever. Shut up Kukui."

Hanging up, he said, "Kukui will send a helicopter here shortly from the Aether Foundation. We'll take it there, and they've got a vault where we can lock those edgy weapons up real nice and tight behind several forcefields and a thick steel wall if you wanna. They'll be here in like, 15 minutes. In the meantime, have a seat, enjoy the sunshine..." He looked over his shoulder. "Have another cookie. Just don't eat everything ya dig?"

Bedivere | Fate/Grand Order | OTA

City Markets

[Anyone who happened to be wandering about the market today could find Bedivere milling about with his Ralts in tow. It had been a while since breakfast for the both of them and now seemed like a good time to have lunch.]

Lucan, what would you like to have?

Ralts... ralts...

[The small psychic Pokemon adopted a contemplative pose as he thought. Bedivere waited patiently, only once glancing over at the different array of bread on display. Specifically the veggie bread was catching his eye.]


Odd Jobs

[There's something nostalgic about the harvest season. Memories of the times before Camlann and Camelot's fall where the common folk would begin to gather up the fruits of their labor to hopefully last the winter that lay ahead.

Reminiscence aside, Bedivere smiled a little as Lucan enthusiastically climbed atop one of the larger pumpkins and waved him over.]


Yes, this is a good one. Shall we take it back to the others?

Ralts!

"Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon. Ralts is the pre-evolved form of Kirlia. It can use the horns on its head to read human emotions. Ralts rarely shows itself to humans, but may occasionally approach when it senses positive or happy feelings." said Rotom, as they passed by the pair on the way to the house.

By that time, Ash was crouched near Raltz, grinning. "So cool! It's been a while since I saw Raltz! Hi there!"
ordinaryknight: (Smile)

[personal profile] ordinaryknight 2019-10-10 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ralts? Ralts!

[Lucan waves at Ash; hello to you too.]

Lucan? Oh, hello there.

"Alola!" Exclaimed Ash happily. "This is your Ralts right? They're really well cared for!"

"Pi pikachu!" Exclaimed Pikachu happily as he waved at Bedivere as well.

Alice nods to herself, making a decision.

"Alright."

With that, she sits down, Phym plopping down into her lap.

Soon the helicopter arrives, touching down a few feet away. It's a large cargo one, since Guzma told them they were moving sensitive cargo as Kukui comes out to meet them with a few workers from Aether. "Hello," he said. "Guzma."

"Sup," said Guzma. "Alice, this dork is Kukui. Kukui, Alice and Phym. Don't touch their weapons brah."

"Right." said Kukui, holding out his hand to shake Alice's for a moment as workers moved two large steel security containers and opened them. "We've prepared security containers for your weapons if you wish to place them in there yourself, and we'll lock them in. And we'll give you a tour of the Aether Foundation, and show you where we'll lock them away, so they won't hurt anyone. Guzma, you coming?"

"Che, may as well. Ain't nothing better to do. OI," Guzma called out to Rapp who came around the corner. "Hold the fort. Sell some cookies."
devilish_chrysanthemum: (Default)

[personal profile] devilish_chrysanthemum 2019-10-10 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Eat anyone." Alice corrects Kukui.

Once the Arcs have been placed in the security containers, the pair just sort of converge on Guzma. A tiny hand slips into his as Phym beams up at him, Alice smiling as well as she takes Phym's other hand.
fallers_npcs: (ya boi - guzma1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-10 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Er, yes, eat anyone," said Kukui.

Guzma sputtered for a moment as Kukui laughed at the sight. "Hey shut up!" Exclaimed Guzma hotly, but he didn't let go of Phym's hand. "You stupid f... grrrr. C'mon let's just get into the copter."

The ride to the Aether Foundation was a short one, and as they landed, Guzma gestured to the building. "Get yer first glance at the building before we head in and try not to gawp."

Inside the building was a huge walkway overlooking a fantastic inside care area full of Pokemon, where men and women in white uniforms cared for creatures of all kinds of various adorable levels.

Alice looks visibly uneasy as she sees the Pokemon and glances down at Phym, who tilts her head to the side consideringly before shaking her head 'no', upon which Alice relaxes a little.

"So...what are those things, anyway?"
fallers_npcs: (ally - kukui1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-10 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pokemon, short for Pocket Monsters. They're the indigenous life of this planet who we co-exist with," said Kukui. "People care for them, live side by side. Here in Alola, they're family members as well. As Fallers, you'll probably receive one or two of them, maybe even up to six of them to care for while here."

"Don't bore them with details, Kukui," put in Guzma as he held up his PokeBall. "Basically, we live, train and battle with them. Aether here, rescues and raises hurt and injured and abandoned Pokemon and returns them to the wild once they're strong enough to live on their own once more, or in herds. Wanna see mine before we head down to the vault?"
ordinaryknight: (Don't despair)

[personal profile] ordinaryknight 2019-10-10 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bedivere's expression is light, smile soft as he raises his lone arm in a small wave back to Pikachu and Ash.]

That is correct; Lucan is my companion. I take it that this one...

[He has to think a little. While he had taken the time to read up and learn about the world around him there were still things he had to work on.]

... Your... Pikachu? They are yours?
acmellash: (Default)

[personal profile] acmellash 2019-10-10 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Pi pika! [Pikachu scampered up and leaped from Ash's shoulder to Bedivere's with glee, giving off a cheerful squeak.]

Yeah, Pikachu and I have been together for years now. We started off in Pallet Town together in Kanto. Now we're here. We've been best buds forever.

Hm. Alice lightly brushes Phym's bangs away from her face, her fingertips grazing against the jet-black horn everybody has been pointedly ignoring. There's a moment of silent communion between them before they nod in perfect sync.
fallers_npcs: (ya boi - guzma1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-10-11 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Guzma grinned before tossing the ball into the air. "Get out here, Liepard!"

The ball split open, as a light burst free from it, and from it, a medium sized purple and orange cat appeared with a growl. And then it started to lick its paw, grooming itself. "What do you think?" said Guzma as Liepard regarded Phym and Alice before meowing a little.

"Been a while since I've seen you use anything except a bug Pokemon, Guzma." said Kukui and Guzma made a "mmph," noise. "I thought you had a theme?"

"I can branch out if I wanna!" Retorted Guzma as Liepard sniffed Phym and meowed curiously before offering a paw in greeting.
