ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Scheherezade: "Who're your parents?"

Dunyazade: <Pharah.>

Pharah: <What.>

Dunyazade: <Would you mind leaving my head?>

Pharah: <Yes.>

-Dunyazade facepalms, sighing.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Lilac's smile falters slightly, but she quickly brightens again. "Well then, Cole, a wonderful day to go to sea, don't you think? There's something enchanting about it, I feel~"

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Hau'oli City

Ever: Sure, I love the ocean.

Pleth: <Wasn't your ancestor a murderous pirate?>

Ever: Yeah...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Hau'oli City

-After leaving the malasada shop, presumably with our new human party members, we are currently sitting around near the entrance to Route 2-

Tyto: <When are we gonna leave this place, I'm getting bored already!>

Pici: -Annoyed- <Complaining about it isn't going to make you less bored, you know.>

Botuli: -Is eating a bag of malasadas-

Lucani: -Is digging underground in an attempt to get at the roots of a tree-

We should probably try tracking down Ilima soon...

Elsewhere in Hau'oli

Ann: -Practices on her guitar-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Lilac headtilts at Ever's sudden change in demeanor. "Is something wrong, Cole? I should know before you step onto my vessel if you wish to change your mind."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Hau'oli City

Locke: Joseph and Lina.

Alli: I'm related to Lina as well!

-Tagg may notice this party-

Hau'oli City

Ever: Oh, no, nothing's wrong. An ancestor of mine had a relationship with the sea which, while mutualistic in nature, was generally detrimental to those around him. But I am 100% ready to set sail.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lilac nods. "I see. Anyone I may have heard about? My family has been a seafaring bunch for generations. We know many tales of the sea, many stories from lands near and far. I do so much enjoy stories, and if yours is good enough, I may take it as payment."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Hau'oli City

Rose: A while, yeah.

Scarlette: Mostly we just... had no idea where to find you? Honestly, it seems kinda obvious now but... still.

Hau'oli City, Shore, earlier

-Star's stomach growls loudly-

-embarrassed- Hahaha... haven't eaten in a while.

-she stands up-

I'm gonna grab something to eat. I've heard this region has a specialty...Malasadas or something. You can come along if you want.

Hau'oli Malasada Place, after that

Gotcha.

We're on vacation too. Me and my family, I mean. It's been a while since we've all traveled together.

...I heard about the Island Challenges, and I'm debating doing them. It's been a while since I've done any Trainer stuff, actually.

-she spots Vierr coming in and waves-

Hau'oli City, Present?

-Marie is milling around again-

Hau'oli City

Ever: Uh, have you heard of—

-Narrow and Muninn exchange horrified looks-

Ever: Revy?

-and both facepalm identically-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lilac beams. "Ah yes! The Scourge of the Sevii! My family once had an encounter with the man, I do believe. It would be a fateful day for both my family and him, so the story goes. Of course, that depends on how much you believe in the stories~"

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Ilima: "Lots of things are like that, admittedly."

"Though, if you're interested in beginning your challenge... would you care to accompany me to Verdant Cavern?"

Hau'oli City

Scarlette: Oh, uh, sure!

Rose: Lead the way.

Hau'oli City

Ever: I mean, supposedly he was kind of horrible, so I hope he didn't screw things up too badly for your family.

-he shrugs-

Ever: But leaving pirates aside, are we leaving soon?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lilac gives a toothy grin. "Oh, when my family met him, he was but a small time name. Believe me, it did not end poorly for either of us. Perhaps more could have been done at the time, and he would not have become such a monster. But if so, perhaps we would not have met. And that would be such a shame, my dear."

She leads Ever to her small motorboat. "We shall leave at once, if you are prepared."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

-Ilima nods and starts walking north, likely ending up outside the Verdant Cavern, assuming nothing else happens on the way-

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

-Scheherezade nods.- "I see. Has something happened to them?"

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Hau'oli City

Ever: That's a fair point.

-he smiles, and follows her to the boat-

Ever: See, Narrow? This is a boat that actually takes humans across water.

Narrow: <Well, you should have specified.>

Muninn: <This is also the kind of boat that murderers have.>

Ever: Don't be silly.

Muninn: <How did I not kill you?>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Hau'oli City

Locke: Apparently they're trapped in a pocket dimension.

En Route to Verdant Cavern

-Rose and Scarlette do indeed follow, and indeed nothing else of note happens on the way-

Hau'oli Malasada Place — Past(?)

-Vierr waves back, then raises an eyebrow at Tagg.-

Vierr: Huh. Didn't realize you knew each other. Everything always turns into a J-Team thing, huh?

Lilac head tilts. "I see you talking to your Mimikyu. What do you call him? He strikes me as intriguing."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

-Ilima stops here-

Ilima: "And here we are, at the location of the trial."

-He indicates the gates outside the Cavern-

Ilima: "Please note, once you cross these gates, you cannot return until you complete the trial and until you do so, you may not catch any Pokémon."

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Shaun: "Yeah, as much as I love my Mons, nothing beats the company of another human."

Shaun took a sip of his cocoa. "Hey, earlier you said somehing about a Poke Ride. What's that?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Hau'oli Malasada place, past

-looks at Tagg, then at Vierr- I'm both surprised, and not surprised by this.

I haven't really done anything J-team related in a while, though so....
