Test Drive Meme - November/December



The last week of October into November has come and Halloween has come! With the Haunted House come up, strangely clean, too clean, INTERPOL has decided to leave it open for now while it is under surveilance. However, there has been more movement on the Ultra Guardians side as more information has continued to flow. It seems that there has been a push to discover Plates, that have been discovered in different Regions.

Now with November starting into December, the weather of Alola's daytime, average high temperatures typically range in the mid to low 80s. Evening temperatures usually dip into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Per weather records, November rainfall levels in Alola are higher than average. The ocean temperatures around Hawaii are pleasant enough for swimming which is still very pleasant. However, there's also winter-time adventures as Mount Lanakila also is opening it's Ski and Hot Springs Resort. That greedy Viren has opened up one on the mountain, and while he doesn't like you, he's inviting you all for a trip on the first of November. Which is good, because it eliminates the need for housing for your School Field Trip from the first to the seventh.

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. Pokemon School Trip

The School Trip to Mount Lanakila might come as a surprise, but there is a big, snowy mountain on Alola! Bundle up for winter time activities and hot spring shenanigans because there's plenty of both! Relax in the hot springs as snow falls gently around your body, play in the snow in the day, view amazing Snow Pokemon, explore the incredible Ice Caverns, and perhaps participate in the PokeJump Competitions which is a long-jump sledding competition with your Pokemon.


H. Melemele General Hospital

Even Angela is working extra hard to make sure everyone's prepared for the winter, and that makes time for checkups, and other such things. If you've got the sniffles, this one is for you. But also, come chat with Angela, and meet some of the more colorful visitors from Overwatch Earth.


I. Aether Labs

Come review the brand new information that makes the Ultra Guardians 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.


J. Unovan Togetherness Day

Every November, the people of Unova celebrate a day where they come together together after a long harvest year, and feast with family and friends. Fallers might recognize this as Thanksgiving, but the connotation of thanking the Pokemon is strong in this world, as they came first in this world, and the people of Alola celebrate their families and their friends and their precious partners.


K. Ryme City Anniversary

In the middle of the month of November, there is the Ryme City Anniversary. A week leading up to a parade with floats and celebrations. The Fallers are invited to Ryme City and will be preparing for their first international trip. Pack your bags, we're going on an Educational Field Trip!

There was a lot he didn't understand, but a form... he had to sign a form? Was that all? Could it really be that easy?

"I'm not afraid," he stated firmly. "I'll bear any pain."

Of course, modern anesthetics weren't discovered yet, the options in his time were all rather weak,

"I can work until I can afford it, is that right?"

At home, he couldn't possibly impose anymore on his Master than he already had since he was eight... but he couldn't burden him here, and if he could get treated, work, and then pay, and they have the means to treat him...

He held the paper, but looked confused.

"... but, where is the ink?"

It's not a quill pen, but it's still recognizable as a writing utensil, but there has to be something to dip it in, right? Something this important surely won't be written in pencil!

Dawn | Pokémon D/P

[personal profile] sinnohcoordinated 2019-10-25 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrival

“Alola, Alola!”

Wait a minute, this isn’t a Faller! What is this madness? Oh, it’s just Dawn, a Coordinator from Twinleaf, here on a well-needed vacation. And maybe other things, but neither this or that. “Wow, this place looks wonderful! No wonder people like it here!”

Grabbing her suitcase, Dawn makes her way down from her plane, looking around.

Grand Trials

“Wow, so this is what they do instead of Gym Battles or Competitions, huh?” Dawn couldn’t help but blink as she learned about the Trials and what they had to offer. “You know, this might be something I could try out. Integrate it into our routines. What do you think, Piplup?” She looked down at the penguin Pokémon in her arms.

“Pip!” It chirped, raising a wing in solidarity.

“Glad we’re in agreement!” She said, smiling. “Now, uh... what do we do next?”

Aether Labs

“Wow, look at this place!” Dawn said in awe. She certainly didn’t have much of a reason to be here, but it was something for her to look at while she was here. “Sheesh, a lot of this is so over my head.”

“Piiii...” her Piplup replied, his own eyes glazed over.

“I guess that’s why I’m not an inventor or anything!”

Ryme City Anniversary

“Sheesh, I just got here and I’m already leaving!” Dawn giggles as she got her stuff together once more. “At least it’s just a field trip and nothing else!” As she got done, she began to ponder. “Wonder how the others are doing... better check on ‘em!”

"It's never too late to learn new things. Just look at All Might!" Exclaimed Mirio, laughing. "He apparently learned something from someone he knew in his last battle. I'l have to tell you about him later."

"Ah!" Exclaimed Serena, mostly out of surprise at his response but more out of a grateful relief that she was right and it was a man from Kalos, or at least somewhere similar. Continuing with her language, she added, "My name's Serena, and I'm from this world, Kalos. It might be equivalent to where you're from but we seem to speak the same language. May I have your name please sir?"

Angela smiled. "Treatment is covered for," she said gently, switching to French in order to comfort him. She was multilingual after all, even with her accent in German. "President Lusamine has covered the fee for resources, and has given Overwatch the funds needed for treatment of extreme cases such as yourself."

She showed him how to work the pen, saying, "The pen is already filled with ink. It says I will be able to heal your eye, and perform reconstructive surgery on it. I have a technology that will mend your eye. It might look like magic, but it is science. Are you willing to allow me to use this on you?"

Ash had been told that someone he might know was up at Hala's place, and he had rushed up to see who it was. When he saw the familiar blue hair, his heart lit up. "Dawn!" he called out happily, running up to her, waving.

"Dawn! It's me!"

Responding in kind with a enthusiastic high five, he grinned as Pikachu leaped off his shoulder and climbed onto Dawn's with a laugh. "Wow, when I heard that someone I knew was on the new arrivals from the airport, I didn't realize it was you! I guess Misty and May were holding out on me. They're here too, and Brock. They're at the school." He made a good natured face. "And Gary says hi too, but you haven't met him yet."

"Did you hear? I made Champion here this summer! I finally did it! You should have seen it! It was amazing! I got to battle the local Deity and everything!"

Dawn laughed as she let Pikachu climb on, Piplup taking notice. However, hearing about Ash’s victory caught her off-guard.

“Wait, you won one?! And everyone else but me knew it?!” She said. She nearly dropped her Pokémon as she reached out to grab Ash. “Why did I have to be last to know?!”

"You're not the only one to know!" Exclaimed Ash, grabbed and probably shook too. "A lot of people don't know! I dunno, maybe it wasn't televised?"

Seriously Kukui, didn't you televise this event?

"I need to seriously send out letters or something because everyone I've been talking to from my friends don't even know! Brock and Misty didn't know when they arrived, Gary didn't know, it's like I was living in a bubble!"

After a bit of fuming, Dawn calmed down. “Okay, I guess I can see that.” She said, calming down. “But, man, I need to step up my game here. You’re already a champion now and I’m still on the road!”

"You need to challenge Hala then," said Ash, a little dizzy. "Not to brag or anything, but I did it at my lowest point and I still won."

He didn't look proud at that statement mind you, as Ash added, "Kalos was pretty rough. Remember how low I looked after Tobias? Multiply that by a factor of a million."

“I remember seeing you in the Kalos finals.” Dawn said. “You were right there and...” she shook her head. “But, that’s over with. You made it at last!”

“Though Hala, huh? Wow, I haven’t done things like this in ever! Any tips?”
acmellash: (Default)

Re: Grand Trials

[personal profile] acmellash 2019-10-25 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"It was what happened AFTER that," said Ash dourly. "I'll tell you about that later but I guess most of the videos were scrubbed from the internet."

"Yeah. Hala doesn't play by the standard Pokemon battle rules. Toss everything you've learned about Pokemon battling out the window Dawn, because in Alola? It's a whole new ball game." He grinned, happy to be in more happier territory as he watched the most recent challenger take on Hala. "Look at Hala for a moment. See how he's directing Crabominable? He's not directing him like a normal trainer would, with direct orders, but with feelings. Much like I would. Minimal directions, flexible orders. The bond between partners and Pokemon are super strong in this region. You gotta be prepared. And then..."

And then, Hala and the Challenger initiated the Z-Move, the Challengers Ice Z-move vs Hala's own Fighting Z-Move. "And then there's Z-moves," said Ash in the marvelous beautiful spectacle. "Amazing isn't it?"

“Wow... it’s not a battle. And it’s not a show, either.” Dawn said, in awe with it all. “It’s something entirely new altogether!”

Piplup equally was in awe watching trainer and Pokémon working in tandem with one another.

“It looks difficult, but... I have to try it!”

"I'll help you out, Dawn." said Ash, a grin appearing on his face. "We'll ask Hala if we can get you leave to train with a Z-Crystal and Z-move. You can't do that without the permission of the Island Kahuna first, but when we do? I know just the people to help you out! Lillie and Lana! Lana has a Water Z-move she can show you and Lillie has a Ice Z-Move and both of them are super powerful! And everyone else can help you train for the Grand Trial and there's four Kahuna so you can choose who you want to battle first! It'll be like old times."

“Thanks, Ash. You’re gonna be my guide here - I am just new here, so I’m gonna need all the help I can get! But, y’know...”

She sighed and looked herself over.

“I can’t do it looking like this! I mean, sure, it worked in Sinnoh and Unova, but this is a whole new ball game! I need new everything! Maybe even get some new Pokémon to boot!”

"Well, starting fresh is definitely something you can do!" Exclaimed Ash. "I started fresh from Kalos and I'm on top of my game. Just me and Pikachu on vacation and look where I am now. We're scheduled to go to the Ice Caverns and Mount Lanakila this November so we'll have to get you some clothing for that too." said Ash.

"You'll love it. Maybe we can visit those Pokemon that Lillie got her Z-Crystal from!"

“Kalos...? France! My country’s name is France,” he explained readily, gathering his composure after that outburst and rising to his feet.

“Yes, of course... André Grandier. A pleasure to meet you, Mademoiselle...?”

He should probably keep it down, shouldn’t he? People are studying! Maybe they should talk elsewhere? Or he could just keep his voice low...

Mirio was definitely working the arrivals when he saw Dawn there. He smiled, walking over with the arrival lei in hand. "Alola!" He greeted, offering the lei to place around her neck as well as Piplups. "Welcome to, well, Alola! I'm Mirio, one of the Fallers."

C-covered for...?

“... convey to her my deepest gratitude. If there is any way I could serve her here, to repay her kindness...”

What a kind woman! He couldn’t believe his good fortune, but, he felt a twinge of pain, thinking of how many people stay sick, unable to afford treatment in France... the people of France go hungry, die slowly from sickness, and here he is, a foreigner in a strange land, and he’s about to be taken care of at no cost to him! He wondered what kind of people ruled such a place...

He listened gravely, the idea of an operation on his eye was still frightening, but he kept as calm an expression as he could. He was already being granted this incredible opportunity for free! He can’t waste it. He must be capable of fighting by Oscar’s side!
“I am...”
He took the pen and signed his name.

That voice was a little familiar, but Trip thought he might have imagined it, he was waiting very nervously for Ash after the flight... he had something he needed to keep safe in that backpack he was hugging to his chest, uncharacteristically, but as he turned to continue pacing around the gate he arrived at, he saw someone he really did recognize.

Ash’s friend, from the Junior Cup! He forgot her name all of a sudden, so all he managed was a slightly awkward, too-high, “Alola!”

Shouting it was embarrassing, why didn’t he just walk over first! He made his way over, not too quickly, still holding a strangely lumpy and occasionally shifting bag.

"Yeah uh, that's a thing that's happening here. Need the cliff notes?" asked Mirio. "I'm a Faller: someone from outside this world who came through an Ultra Hole."

"Ri?" asked the Riolu who walked up, holding a few more leis in his paws.

"Ah, Riolu! Thanks buddy. This is Riolu, he's a friend I met here."
