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!

"I think better safe than jolly sorry!" He folded his arms right back at her! So there! "What if you'd sent the poor chum packing? You looked like you were tempted."

"Then you probably would've picked him up--assuming he didn't play you like he did not long ago--and I figure I'd've been none the wiser, eh?"

Renee grimaced. "I'm undecided. I'm undecided in a hell of a lot of things, okay? Seriously, who fucking appointed you Guardian of All Pokemon?" This was doing more than getting on her nerves. It was literally pissing her off, now.

"All I wanted was to sit down and take a break from the job you interrupted--not that he didn't, but all he seemed to want was some affection--and here you come in acting like you got rejected from Team Rocket, so you set out to steal Pokemon on your own like some hopped-up Robin Hood! Haven't you done enough?"
thezekeinator: (i protest)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2019-10-31 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Who was stealing?! Look, I'm jolly sorry for testing you like that, but these little guys need to be looked after. Especially when they're friendly and... well, not kind." Zeke refused to call the Phanphy kind after its stunt! "So yes, I'm going to look out for them. You don't have to be appointed to do the right thing to do it!"
afterburner: (okay if you say so)

[personal profile] afterburner 2019-10-31 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Renee lifted a hand to her chin and affected a thinking pose. "Hmm...okay, let's see. Maybe kidnapping's a better word? He didn't want to go with you." She waved a hand at Stompy.

"That part I'm not arguing with you about!" Of course, a lot of the other stuff, well. Renee was, yeah. "They need to be looked after...if they're not in the wild where I hope they can look after themselves." She wasn't really sure why this Phanpy was in a city to start with, if she was going to be honest with herself.

"Self-appointed is still appointed, you moron!" Renee snapped. Gods save her from fools and children! Or both, because she suspected this one was both, mentally. "I guess he wants me to take care of him. And I'm willing to do that, but I don't really know the first thing about training or battling, so I'm not gonna jump in, no matter what you want! Because I don't want him getting hurt, okay? You're just gonna have to accept my promise I'll take good care of Stompy for now and come back later for a battle! I already enrolled in Pokemon school to get the basics!" Renee was just working to cover some bills. Mostly hers, because she didn't want to eat Kiawe out of house and home. And now she had a Phanpy to take care of, she guessed...

"That's the sort of thing you can learn by instinct," Zeke said, folding one arm over his chest and curling fingers around his chin. "I'd wager good money that as soon as the clash was joined, you'd be giving him orders like a natural. After all, your desire was to protect him, right? That's more important than technical skill any day."

Exploring Melamele 2

The man and his Lucario ran; an elegant woman stepped out from a stand of bushes, chin lifted. Beside her, a Lunatone floated serenely. She barely spared a glance for the fled pair before she looked at the Gyarados.

"Mizuki," she said. "Use Confusion." The Pokemon spun in place, before using its attack on the charging Water Pokemon. It paused, fanged jaw gaping open, before shaking its head--clearly the attack had succeeded. Instead of pursuing its rightful prey, it slithered back towards the lagoon, leaving in peace.

"I thank you," Yotsuyu said, bowing politely to the Lunatone. They were fairly new-acquainted, and while Gosetsu and Ajisai knew they meant a great deal to her, Yotsuyu refused to slight her new companion, even as the Dewott and Cubone came running to crowd around her knees.
thezekeinator: (what?!)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2019-11-01 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Zeke and Eris both skidded to a halt, trailing lines in the ground from their feet and dropping down a hand to keep themselves upright.

"That was a jolly good rescue!" he said, with a careful look around for boulders, trees, or other disasters to torment him.
darkenedmoon: (smug)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2019-11-01 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, only the ebon-haired woman, looking smug. Well, she had good reason, didn't she? Yotsuyu hadn't planned to wander the forest, but even she knew that she needed a break sometime--a lesson she was trying to have the President learn.

Besides, Gosetsu liked paddling around in the lagoon--though it might be a good idea to have a sign put up, if there were a Gyarados lairing there, now. Perhaps the creature would simply rest and then wander to a place with room enough for it.

"I hadn't heard of a Gyarados around here. How did that come about, pray tell?" she asked, looking between the two.

"Oh they did, lots of them. And a Quirk specialist too. The problem is the method that made the suppression can't be repeated without endangering someone's life again." said Mirio, seriously. "We won't let that happen."

"Nice to meet you too, Renee. I'm glad to meet you! I can't wait to hear about your world first hand!"
afterburner: (I don't think that's your best idea)

[personal profile] afterburner 2019-11-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no. I don't think that's a good idea either." Renee shook her head at that. "Guess I hope that time heals all wounds, though, huh?"

She laughed at Mirio's next words, though. "It's a bit like any other, I'm pretty sure. Professor Xavier had a lot of ideas on how these things worked. The window dressings might be a bit different, but underneath, most places are pretty typical. Still, if it entertains you, sure!"

She didn't sound like she believed him but that was up to Renee. He really wanted to go home, he'd left Noct in such a helpless state. But there'd been no way back that he'd found, so he'd have to make do here until he found out what he needed to.

He nodded. "I do believe it's hot coffee and they do have slices of cakes and pies." He was pretty sure most of those were pumpkin themed too and he did see someone with chocolate chocolate chip cookies with an orange filling which looked to be like frosting.

As they walked, he shook his head. "I've enrolled and should be attending classes shortly." As for spare money he wasn't adverse to odd jobs, he'd done them to get the gil up to pay for the Regalia long ago after all. Then there were all of those monster hunts along the way.

"Might I inquire as to work you're doing on the docks?"
afterburner: (Yeah?)

[personal profile] afterburner 2019-11-01 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Renee didn't believe Ignis--though that was mostly because she felt like she was holding it together by the skin of her teeth, fighting tooth and nail to just pretend to be okay. And though she didn't know it, she didn't have nearly so much at stake as he did.

"Hot coffee on a hot day...I don't know, but they can probably do something to it. They did stuff like that at home." But Renee still liked coffee. And the mention of other pastry didn't deter her in the least, either.

"Suppose I'll be seeing you in class too, then," she said. "Can I copy your notes?" That was meant as a joke, and Renee chuckled a little as she shook her head. "I'm joking, school's important enough that I do treat that seriously. The docks, though--mostly I'm working alongside a couple of Machamps, directing them pushing freight around." She just was also helping them do it, but she wasn't about to mention that part.
thezekeinator: (i protest)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2019-11-01 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"We fell into the bloody water, and a moment later it was surging up after us." Zeke hadn't put two and two together, though Eris was looking skeptical behind him.
faithfulsupport: (Satisfied face)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2019-11-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
This was the same guy who didn't ask for help in battle so Renee would have a long wait indeed if she expected him to cry out for help.

He wasn't sure if the shop had a way to ice it, surely they did but he wasn't one hundred percent sure so Ignis didn't comment about that.

Moving with her, he smiled at her question. "You might learn far more than you need to if you do that." Ignis was meticulous with his notes and jotted down details others had found tedious and unnecessary in the past.

Ignis hadn't found any pokemon to work with as of yet, but he wondered how to befriend them. Animals back home were killed for use and if they'd been aggressive. These..were a different sort altogether.

Someone to keep an eye on, clearly...of course, these things assumed that Renee could keep her secret identity under wraps, too. All she could do was her best--but she didn't want to spread that sort of thing far and wide.

"Yeah? All information is useful, though--'least that's what one of my teachers back at the Institute always told me, you know?" One could never be sure when something that seemed trivial was the thing that turned the tide of battle, after all.

Renee hadn't been lucky enough to find a partner yet either, but there were a lot of them to be seen, even as they walked to the coffee shop, and she was definitely watching. "You have any ideas about a Pokemon partner you might want? Wish I could tell you I had a clue," she said with a wry chuckle.
afterburner: (done with your shit)

[personal profile] afterburner 2019-11-01 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah and you're just not gonna give up until I give in. God." Renee really, really hated shit like this, but she really did not have any choice, not that she could see.

Though part of her really just wanted to cold-cock Zeke in his stupid, smug face, pick up Stompy, and head out--but either someone would see and she'd be in trouble, or his Lucario would stop her, and so she really was out of luck.

"Fine. But if anything gets ruined, it's your fault, cuz I did not ask for this!"
thezekeinator: (i protest)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2019-11-02 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well it's no jolly good now," Zeke sulked. "You're not going to forge a bond in battle with it all laid out like this." The spontaneous nature of everything was key! "Besides, you seem like a decent enough sort anyway."
darkenedmoon: (calculating)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2019-11-02 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"You do not think you might have had something to do with that?" Yotsuyu arched a black brow at the man, then back at his Pokemon--who seemed to be a bit brighter than he was, himself.

"Though Gyarados are fractious at best, I'm not certain you can be blamed for its temperament once it evolved." She shrugged at that. Her Lunatone returned to its Pokeball, while the Cubone clung to her skirts and the Dewott took up something of a defensive position before her.

"Gosetsu? What has gotten into you?" Both bemused and curious at the actions of her very first partner.
thezekeinator: (serious)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2019-11-02 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Might be mad we stumbled into its lair, I suppose." Zeke shook his head, like a dog, to get water out of his hair. "What HAS gotten into those fellows? I'm not going to take a knife to you."
darkenedmoon: (uncertain)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2019-11-03 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Perhaps," Yotsuyu said. She'd done some studies about Pokemon, and was endeavouring to do more, certainly, but that did not extend fully to all the various species. Not yet, at least.

"I've no idea about Gosetsu. Ajisai was poorly treated by whoever had her previously; she is very, very shy and needs a great deal of reassurance." At which she casually dropped to her knees, offering the Cubone a Berry and speaking to her softly. The berry was accepted and eaten, and Ajisai sucked at her paw, even as she tapped Yotsuyu on the shoulder with her bone.

Wes is impressed. Usually people don't stand back up after getting into a fight with him. The Ultra wormholes really did bring strong opponents. Wes watches as the man drops his swords and grunts.

"You'll lose," he says simply. It's a fact to him, after all. Inosuke has just disarmed himself. However, he's still itching to go, so the beast inside Wes propels him forward to punch the man in the face.

[personal profile] boarzerker 2019-11-04 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
At that Inosuke ducks down in a fluid motion and throws out his own punch, which strikes true onto Wes's thigh. The boar man doesn't aim high, he aims low.

"So you think! But nothing's going to stop me from riding high on this moment!!"

Sounds like someone is really enjoying this fight.

Deadpool | Marvel Comics

A) Arrival

And out in the beach, there's a crowd gathered around the latest Faller. Especially since he's buried his head in the sand and struggling to get out. Behind him is a Croagunk just staring him down. Once the red and black-garbed man gets his head out, he can't help but look around at the crowd in confusion before it all dawns on him.

"Oh, I know what this. This is one of those "Ee-sigh-key" things and I'm the star, aren't I?" the man said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Where my bi--AAAUGH!"

And the Croagunk nails him with Poison Jab, dropping him into a heap.

"Wh... what the f--AUGH!" And again. "You... you stop th--OWWWIE!" And again. "Mommy!"

B) Visitation Center

And Deadpool's luck has not gotten better. Despite having a healing factor, just about everything he's done has had his Croagunk jab him repeatedly. And thanks to all of those weapons, he's being trailed by a gang of Growlithes ready to make his life even more difficult.

"Oh, come ON! I don't need this right now! I just got here!" Deadpool complained. "I just one good thing happen to me and--"

And he stops as he looks down at a stray Psyduck, who looks at him confusingly, uttering "Psy?"

There's a bit of a staredown before Deadpool picks him up and holds him protectively. "I've just known him for five seconds, but if anything happened to him, I'll murder everything on this island and then myself."

I) Aether Labs

"Look, just so you guys know? I don't think you want to do anything with my healing factor!"

And Deadpool's being monitored by the various scientists and doctors. Most Fallers tend to be baseline with very few superheroes with natural powers. He's one of the rare ones.

"And can I have my clothes back? The metal table's cold!"

Wildcard

It's a Team Rainbow Rocket battle! Deadpool's up against two Grunts! They toss out their Pokemon to prepare for battle. Deadpool?

Blows out a Grunt's kneecap with a pistol.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?!" the other Grunt said, eyes wide. "Where is your pride as a trainer?!"

"Oh, you mean I wasn't supposed to stop you in your tracks the easy way?!" Deadpool said. "I mean, you guys used guns in the early days!"

"That's a bloody shame. You two know I'm not going to hurt you, right?"

Eris nodded vigorously next to him. Unlike most Lucario, she loved to pose more than she loved to fight. Picking on these two wouldn't get her anywhere!

Wes gives a scowl as he feels the hit but a punch to the thigh wasn't the worst thing in the world. Immediately, Wes looks pissed off and he tries to knee Inosuke, especially since the man's already down there.

"I'm not here to play."
