Time to Explore Sinnoh

Who: Newt and OTA
Where: Sinnoh!
When: 10-24 August
Summary: Time to explore all the things.
Rating: PG, unless convo's go places, will edit if needed.


1. Airplane!

[She was very annoyed that none of her pokemon were allowed to be on the flight with her. However she'll have her toy doll's head to clutch for moral support. You might also notice for a kid she seems to be paying strict attention to all of the safety advice given at the start of flight. She'll even shush anyone if they try to talk to her while the information is being given. She's also going to try and avoid ever going anywhere near those emergency exit doors during the flight.

During the flight though you can find her looking out her window in wonder and talking to her dolls head or anyone else nearby.]


It's very pretty out there. I wonder what would happen if we flew through a storm in this though.

2. General City

[Now that she has her team with her, Newt will almost always be seen with an Arcanine firmly by her side as well as a few others. You can run across her in most of the stores at some point. Though the herb shop seems a bit boring for her and if you want to catch her, you might want to wait at the library, where she's looking through a stack bunch of mystery books. She's taking notes of the titles.

At the museum, Newt is also exploring all the things with a vague interest for everything and being told to stop running a few times by the people in charge. You may see her sticking her tongue out at these people when they turn their back to her.]


3. Underground

[Newt will spend one day here. As digging is actually really boring? Still she'll be interested in it for a while. You can find her with the usual Arcanine but also a Joltik sitting on her shoulder, who she is talking to.]

I think I liked finding treasure in that house better. Digging is hard. Isn't this why they have machines to do it?

4. Forest

[She's usually a bit wary of forests due to the Bug pokemon in them but this place feels pretty nice actually. You can probably find her in there with an Arcanine trying to stop her from climbing all the trees. Please, help this poor mothering pokemon.]

I bet I could get to the top of that one.

[Please.]


5. Floaroma Meadow!/The town

[Newt will be doing the usual, explore all the things. However as she's not really as interested in plants she'll be moving around a lot. Looking at books, looking at berries and plant pots. You can find her in the Poffin cooking class for sure. Also buying some honey pastries.]


6. Floaroma Meadow/The Meadow

[You can find Newt and her pokemon enjoying the meadow. You can find her, exploring in general. Having a very nice picnic that you are welcome to join if you come over. Or just sitting and enjoying the day.]


Wild Card
[If there's something that's not here and you want to play it out either send me a message to ask or just start a thread. Newt is going to be going most places at least once on her trip here. She's also staying at the Inn, if people want to run into her there.]

Library

[There is so much to see and do here that Armin doesn't have a lot of time to spend at the library. He does plan in at least one visit though to pick up some guides on the local plants and flowers. He'd like to see if he can find any that are different from the ones back in Johto and Kanto.

Which is when he spots Newt, engrossed in a stack of books. If she were actually reading, he'd leave her alone, as no-one but a book nerd understands the sacred time that is reading time and how it should not be disturbed, but it seems she is just studying the titles.]


Hey Newt. Are you looking for something?

Oh, you like mystery books?

[let's talk about books, Armin is always happy to talk about books.]

I love them too. I really enjoy Sherlock Holmes.

Same. I always like trying to solve the mystery before the characters in the book do. I don't always manage though.

[There is a rather big age gap between them, so there aren't too many books Armin can suggest to her --though, oh!!!, she is so getting Jules Vernipede books when she is a little older-- but he did read some more Young Adult books when he had first arrived here being just fifteen back then.]

You know, it's not really a mystery book, but I've got a series of books back at home you might like. It's about pokemon in a world without humans. They all have their own little societies and problems to deal with.

[Poke Redwall returns to the narrative!]

[Armin tells her the name. Which we never fully established, thus the vaguery.]

There are a lot of different books though, focusing on different times within the story and different characters. How about when we get home, I'll send you the first three and you can see if they are something you enjoy.

There really all. Listen, I saw a second-hand bookstore when I walked to town the other day. Want to visit it before we leave? We might be able to pick up some books we can't get back home.
