Gotta Catch 'Em All!

[unbroken_chain]

Who: Kotoha, Akane, Ruri, Sasha, Tsukasa, Atoli, M'gann, Eikichi, Riku
Where: Pokeworld!
Summary: The Ebon Triad is up to no good, and the Shining Trapezohedron has sent Visitors to stop them.
Warnings: Pokemon can get PRETTY DARK sometimes.

No matter what you were doing before, when the dazzling flash of light clears you find yourself at the base of a Ferris wheel in what seems to be an amusement park, a vague memory of someone asking 'Now, are you a boy? Or a girl?' running through your head.

Wherever you are, it's definitely not Hinoto-Ri. And just what are those strange creatures that everyone else seems to be taking for granted?


OOC:Pokeworld Plot, START-O! You're starting in Nimbasa City. Feel free to mingle a little first, NPCs and Kotoha will chime in as necessary.
Free mingle thread starts here.
Post for actually catching Pokemon is here.
Thread for actual action is here.

Gathering

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha, having sent out a message, has returned to the the Pokemon Center to wait and see how many other Visitors got dragged here. Hopefully it won't take long for all of them to show up - she'll just drag out her Xtransceiver and make a few calls while she waits.

It takes Sasha a bit, but she shows up at the Pokemon center after wandering the perimeter of the city and taking in the sights. Without missing a beat, she recognizes Kotoha. "Hi, Kotoha! Is this your world? It seems I've ended up here somehow."

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha nods.

"Hey Sasha. Seems like a bunch of us got dragged back here."

[travelingtheworlds]

"A bunch of us... you mean from Hinoto-Ri? So it's not just me accidentally using my power or something?" Well, that solves that issue, sort of. There's something more pressing on Sasha's mind, though. "Someone told me you were an actress here! is that true?"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha pauses for a second before bursting into laughter. When she finally calms down, she hastens to explain.

"Oh man...I was just about to accuse you of getting so wrapped up in one thing you ignore everything else, and then I realized how incredibly hypocritical of me that would be. So, yes: I am an actress. I've been in about 40 movies in the past year before I arrived in Hinoto-Ri."

Eventually, Tsukasa makes his way to the Pokemon center. It's not hard to realize he's a Visitor - his clothing alone makes him kind of stand out.

i'm gonna say this is just after the below thread : )

[resipiscent]

"Aren't you... from Hinoto-Ri too?" This guy is obviously not from here. But, he supposes, he could be.

Works for me.

[aurathread]

"... Yeah. I guess it got a bunch of us."

Or... something like that.

[resipiscent]

"Weird, huh?" He folds his arms, frowning a little. "Wonder if this is everybody...?"

[resipiscent]

It's taken him forever, but he's finally found the Pokemon Center. Everything in this town fits the amusement park theme, and even the Pokemon Center's bright lights fit in well. He peeks in the door, then blinks. He isn't sure he knows any of these people by name, but... aren't they from Hinoto-Ri?

"Um..."

[blessed_by_the_world]

"Hello!"

Even though he wasn't strictly talking to her, Akane believes that it never hurts to be friendly. Besides, if he's from Hinoto-Ri too, then they're in this together. Whatever 'this' is anyway....

"Are you here for the meeting?"

[resipiscent]

"Meeting? Uh... everyone here is from Hinoto-Ri, right?" He feels like he might have seen her around. Maybe at one of the thousand festivals he's been to since arrival?

[blessed_by_the_world]

"I think so. I guess everyone's here to decide what to do next."

She offers a friendly smile.

"I'm Akane. What's your name?"

Eventually Ruri walks into the center, all be it a bit shell shocked looking.

[virtualbirdwatching]

"Um... what happened to you?"

She can't not remember Ruri, after all; she's just wearing more pedestrian clothing at the moment. It's not like she can't do that here (or she'd have been in quite the spot when she entered that tournament months ago).

[electricyousei]

"I'm out of contact with Omoikane. I'm a bit out of sorts due to that. How are you doing?"

[virtualbirdwatching]

"Oh, fine really. I'm kind of surprised, I wasn't expecting there to be a Kanto in this world."

[deathboss]

Guys, there's Eikichi walking by and he completely is too lose to notice the assembled from by the Pokemon Center.

Someone drag him there before he goes off in a forest and gets attacked.

[electricyousei]

Ruri turns and sighs, "Michelle-san, are you lost too?"

[deathboss]

Ack. He turns around and closes his opened mouth, before letting out a small sigh.

"Tch of course not! The great Michel would never be lost like that, baby!"

...so yes, he was pretty lost.

[electricyousei]

"Oh, then you know where we are or where the others are?"

Re: Gathering

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann is waiting patiently at the Pokemon center with Kotoha.]

Since we have time, do you want to tell me more about Pokemon?

[unbroken_chain]

"Sure thing! Uh...what would you like to know? There's a lot of stuff I could tell you."

[hello_mgann]

To start, what exactly do they do? I know they're creatures that help people here, but that's a bit vague.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha smiles.

"Ah, well...some people keep Pokemon as pets. Professors research Pokemon as a profession, and Trainers, like me, well...we live and work with Pokemon, bringing out their potential and using them to battle."

A slight pause.

"In that field, I'm an unrivaled genius. There's nobody in Unova stronger than me."

There's no trace of boastfulness in her tone - as far as Kotoha is concerned, she's simply stating a fact.
