fallers_ooc | 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!

“Hero License? Wow, you get licenses for that? Ha, you might, but I wouldn’t worry - you’ll be recruited into the Ultra Guardians soon enough!”

"I've been training for it for the last three years, and I was doing a study with Sir, Sir Nighteye," said Mirio, his voice trailing off a little at the memory of the man... in the hospital bed... before he brightened up.

"The Ultra Guardians? They sound great! I'd love to join the local heroes if they'll let a hero in training join them. Though, to be perfectly honest, well... I lost my Quirk. So... it's going to take a while until I gain it back. If I ever do... but I'll do my best, if I'm expected to find a Pokemon Partner first."

Della noted that look on his face before the topic change.

“Having Quirks - those are superpowers, right? - aren’t a requirement. Honestly, most of who we got are normal people with Pokémon! I mean, sure, there’s this one guy who flies around in armor and this one girl in a cute pink outfit, but the rest of us are practically normal.”

“Except for that Spider-Guy.”

Mirio did brighten up at that. "Really? That's actually a relief to be honest. I mean... to be honest, my Quirk isn't all that impressive even if I made it strong if I were to be all that honest. I'll have to keep that in mind."

Spider-Guy he kinda thought he recalled that description somewhere, but the name escaped him. Mirio wasn't much of a movie watcher or a comic book reader anyhow, so the name Spider-man would have missed him completely, and a guy in armor could have been anyone. And pink outfit? Dime a dozen back home.

"I guess I should start at the basics then, and enroll in that Pokemon School. They're doing battle training and other sorts of school stuff, so I should probably figure out where I'm attending first. I was a third year before things happened."

“I’m sure you’d do well in school. ‘Sides, I’m a mother of triplets and schoolwork is boring.”

The look on Della’s face suggests that she’s only there because she kinda has to.

And she couldn’t do anything else without driving people loony.

"I'm sure school can be boring when it needs to be, but it can be fun too." chuckled Mirio. "This place can't be boring stuff all the time!"

Which was true. Field trips, outside of the class work, etc.

“Eh, I guess. Wasn’t much of a studious girl away.” Della said, shrugging. “But, hey, it gets us through the day.”

"Maybe what folks like us need are hands on work," said Mirio thoughtfully. "I did a lot of work study, with pro heroes."

“Hands on, huh? Now I like the sounds of that!” Della said, pondering it.

"It's a good way to learn after all. Some people are more physically adept at learning by doing things." said Mirio. "Like me!"

“Well, then, maybe it’s time for this old duck to learn new tricks!”

"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."
