Video / Action for New Bark/Cherrygrove;

[islandshore]

[The camera clicks on to show a tall, young man in his twenties near some trees some recognize from the tail end of Route 29. He's got a backpack on his shoulders and a slightly slumped posture. It's been a bit exhausting on his part, but that's what happens when you have to deal with wild wilderness.

Clearing his throat, he starts to speak.]

Hey, so I know we've got a bunch of newbies. Looks like the road around Route 29's mostly cleared up by now, but if anyone needs items or a lift to the next town, Sora and I have you covered. Scooped up some food, too, but it's nothing fancy.

...Mostly just sandwiches, chips, and fruit. But hey, beats those berries, right?

Just thought I'd give an FYI before we set out. We're gonna be hanging between New Bark and Cherrygrove for a while.

[With that message out of the way, it's time to get cracking! He can be found at...]

New Bark Town;

[Really, it's hard to miss the seven-foot Charizard swooping over the rooftops. When Riku arrives, he's quick to glance around, trying to pinpoint anyone who looks particularly lot. Once he spots someone, he'll mosey over with his dragon lumbering behind.]

So, how're you holding up so far?

Between Cherrygrove and Violet;

[Unfortunately, toppled trees are a bit inconvenient. He'd already seen one trainer struggle, so once he's seen to the newcomers, he opts to venture down the road in hopes of assisting with the damage. Fortunately, when your team consists of huge, hulking monsters over the cutesy types, it's a bit easier to contend with.

First, we've got a Haxorus using its axe-like tusks to try and burst through some of the wreckage. Next, there's Flare, attempting to scoop up bits of debris and set them in an orderly pile. A Lucario and Scizor follow suit, with Aura Spheres and those big ol' pincers contributing in their own special way.

A Blastoise in shades stands by to offer water to anyone in need of a refresher. However, even with this band of large beasties, one trainer can only do so much, and the route itself takes well over a week to traverse on foot. Should anyone else be attempting to clear the way, he'll seek them out, smiling a bit sheepishly.]

Just had to make it rough on the newbies, huh? Much as I hate Violet, they deserve better than this.

Oh, the road has been cleared, now? That's a relief...

[Or, mostly cleared, it seems.]

I was worried...Komasan-chan and I have been trying to cool the water down for the Pokemon around Mt. Mortar, but I've heard that pretty much everywhere is having problems lately.

[Oh sweet, the cavalry's here. Josuke hasn't made too much headway through Route 29 yet, but he's clearly not just outside New Bark either.]

I know at least one person that'll probably tell you they owe you their life or something, and it's not like I've had much to eat either. Felt like that town was getting too small for the number of people hanging around there...

<sub>[It's...PRETTY DAMN HARD to miss a big orange dragon blazing overhead. Maurice and his Rhyhorn have yet to leave town. While Maurice is a fan of roughing it, he's still a little unsteady on his feet. Newly living and all. Both of look up in surprise from their meager lunch--and Maurice with stars in his eyes.]

[What was that Pokemon?]

[Later, whem Riku approaches, Maurice can hardly contain his excitement.]</sub>

That was you! On the dragon! Ahaw man, that was so cool!

[Ever since it got cleared, Ochako's been travelin between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove training, and now she's checking out the next route since it sounds like someone's going to clear that!]

Whoa...! What a cool team!

[It's her first time seeing a full, fully-evolved team of pokemon - and here she is with just her swablu and hoppip following her around, floating]

[There is a man punching trees in the road. Despite this, it seems like it's being pretty effective? A Shinx and Litleo are sharpening their claws on the trees. A Lapras and Amaura are pushing the broken up logs off the road.]

You're helping out earlier on the trail? [Hey there, Riku. Ashley's...it looks like she's taking a break at work, given her nametag and lack-of-hat. Just seated in a break-room, pushing a strand of hair free from her ponytail back behind her ear.]

That's so thoughtful of you. Everything's been so hectic since we all got back.
