1 ✾ Pokémon Trainer Aki would like to GO HOME ✾ Network/Action for Cherrygrove
[ Network Posts ]
[ A ✾ Royal Etiquette ✾ Video – Cherrygrove (action if you are there!) – Backdated to Tuesday evening; 5/18 ]
[ This whole thing? Makes no sense. The mom? Woman she’s never seen before. The monsters? Don’t even come with their own card! How do you put them in defense mode? That Pokémon Professor? Did he even have a degree?! Aki forgot to ask but after lightly snooping around the communications network she decided it was time to make herself known. She wasn’t sure if this was an entirely trustworthy place, but, after twenty-four hours she finally has something benign to talk about.
If there are two things that seem to stand out about Aki it’s that she really likes the color red and she seems to dress like she’s from a time with steam powered locomotives and cholera in the wells. She has a Budew, somehow posted on her shoulder despite the lack of appendages to truly grasp on with. ]
Good evening. My name is Aki Izayoi. I’d like to ask if it’s possible to rename these monsters. [ She directs the camera to the Pokémon accompanying her in the café booth, Skitty, who is just <i>shredding</i> up some café curtains. ] You see, this strange woman rushed me into her house at New Bark Town…? [ These rustic names are a little hard to remember for a girl from places with such lush names like The City and Satellite. ] And gave me this companion, but… she just won’t listen to anything but her full name!
Catherine! [ Skitty continues to turn beige curtains into couture runway art. A table of two notices and starts to point her out to a waiter. ]
Princess Catherine! [ It’s not very effective… ]
Queen Princess Catherine! Stop! [ Skitty stops cold in her tracks, but the volume of her voice startles Budew, causing her to fall over off screen. The cry is high pitched, and abrasive like Baby Mario’s cry. ]
Oh no… Budew… [ Aki quickly turns the camera back. ] I’ll view the responses later. I have some things to tend to, I guess. [ A waiter who has noticed the commotion approaches as she flicks the camera off. ]
Excuse me Miss, you have to pay for those curta-

[ B ✾ MAMMA MIA HERE I GO AGAIN ✾ text; like probably not even two hours later; 5/18 ]
HELP WANTED!
Looking for: One ride from Cherrygrove to Olivine City or Two Island. I have two Pokémon and no money (I have just had to replace a pair of curtains). I will pay you back more than fairly for your assistance. This is for a wedding.
Thank you.

[ Action A ✾ Have not Obtained Running Shoes Yet ✾ Route 29; Literally any time from Sunday morning to Tuesday evening ]
[ In what is probably one of the most unbelievable feats of athleticism, anyone who is on this route from this time will probably see a girl running in thigh high heeled boots down the road at a speed that would make one double check to see if she's being chased by the customary inaugural swarm of Beedrill. But... nothing.
There is nothing chasing her. No panicked screams, no stomps, no tantrums, just one single girl running running running as fast as she can. Maybe she nearly runs into you? Maybe she nearly knocks over your Pokémon? Maybe she scares off a Pokémon you've been following all morning? Maybe she charges straight through the field of battle, completely unaware that she just narrowly escaped an Ice Beam? Whatever it is, it's mysterious and/or reckless enough for you to flag her down and ask her what the hell man!! ]
[ Action B ✾ LETS ALL GO TO THE BEACH BEACH ✾ Cherrygrove City, Sunset. 5/19/21 by the shore ]
[ Aki is standing absolutely starstruck at the Flabebes in front of her. Holding all sorts of flowers as they drift idly in the calming sea breeze. Budew and Skitty chirp and happily play in the sand. Aki doesn’t even notice that Skitty is smacking up a dust storm with her tail because of these pretty flower riders. ]
How do I get myself one of these?! [ Are you going to be that NPC that teachers how to catch Pokemon? She… wasn’t paying attention to the official tutorial. ]

[ Something was off... oh, wait, this happened with Carly, didn't it? Not everything they remembered lined up. Of course, she had her own theories for why that is, but... it's just an assumption, but if Aki comes from the City like Carly...
Well, she pushes aside any thoughts of still technically being alone. They're both duelists! That's enough, right?
Well, let's make sure... ]
Do... do you not know about the four dimensions?
no subject
no subject
No... where I'm from there are four separate dimensions, separated by Summoning Methods. We might both be duelists, but we might still be apart in terms of worlds...
[ OR maybe Aki just comes from the Original Dimension... but she doesn't really know anything about the Original Dimension, so she can't be sure. ]
no subject
no subject
Exactly... and I think I know who you're talking about as well. Carly, right?
[ It's something and she'll take it! Still, she can't help but make a small sigh. She's gonna have to explain a lot about her own world so that it makes sense where she comes from, huh... especially since the Synchro Dimension sounds pretty similar to where Carly comes from. ]
I'm Yuzu, Yuzu Hiiragi! How about you?
no subject
I'm Aki. Aki Izayoi. It's nice to meet another duelist! I can't wait to battle your deck. And your other duel monsters.
no subject
[ She laughs a bit at that. Seriously, she wants to duel again, but within reason. If she duels too regularly around here, she'll start missing home way too much.
...wait did she just say 'Jack'? ]
Wait, Jack? You don't happen to mean Jack Atlas, do you?
[ ...crap, she blurted that out. She already knows that there's apparently some kind of... different Jack Atlas from what Carly has told her (which involves a version of Jack who has a Fusion Monster for the occasional mixup. Something that makes zero sense for the Jack Atlas she's seen since back in the Synchro Dimension, the only people who got Fusion Monsters were those who worked under Roger... and Jack was in direct opposition to Roger. ]
1/2
2/2
no subject
[ Of course, said-Fusion Monster would probably be Multi-Piece Golem, but again, as someone from the Synchro Dimension, Jack having anything in his Extra Deck that wasn't a Synchro Monster makes no sense.
There's also the little issue about how the Ace Monster that Jack uses in Arc-V has 'Scarlight' in it's name, which would be pretty new for someone from 5ds.]no subject
no subject
[ Fusion Monsters aren't outdated at all! They're very powerful and Yuzu's used them really well. ]
no subject
Rituals? What are those?] We have fusion monsters where I am from. We even have speed spells to summon them during turbo duels.They might not be used as often as synchro monsters, but we still know about them. [
ooc: lol getting war flashbacks to getting back into yugioh at 5ds totally canonblind and getting my ass handed to me by every synchro and crazy trap like dimensional prison looool]no subject
[ Or maybe it's that she comes from the original dimension before it was split in four? In which case that's a bunch of time nonsense... ]
Still, don't underestimate Fusion Monsters! They're pretty tough! I'm from the Standard Dimension myself, but I learned how to Fusion Summon from one of the best.
[ Man, if only Sora were here to hear Yuzu say that. What a good student he has, huh? ]
no subject
I don't think of them as weak! Just rare! There are always those cards your opponent laughs at, but the joke is on them. [ YUZU KNOWS WHAT SHE MEANS SHE DOESNT EVEN NEED TO ASK. ] Any card can be powerful, it's how they can work together with the rest of your deck! [
or alternatively summoning Dandylion to smack your kindergarten classmates around] Some of my biggest pinches as a duelist I overcome and won with the help of a level one monster with 0 attack and defense. [ She is one of the best students at whatever academy she goes to after allbecause she's a main character (pre-grand prix at least)]no subject
[ Man, if they were talking in person right now, there would definitely be some kind of handclasp happening right now. Any card can be powerful! There are no useless cards! It's something that both she and Yuya believed in quite a lot (and Yuya's actually proven it on multiple occasions as well). ]
Haaah, we have to meet up someday...
no subject
I think it'd be best to have a travel buddy here. I don't know too many people but if I had someone I could duel with, that would make this experience a little less nauseating.
no subject
[ There's a very convenient Inn that recently opened up there recently as well, and Yuzu's had a nice and relaxing time there recently. ]
My plans mostly right now are to try and get to a place called Goldenrod City? It's a Port Town, so it sounded a lot like home to me. Plus I wanna try challenging the Pokemon Gyms as well.
no subject
no subject
[ Still, she'd probably meet up with Aki then at some point, right? ]
It's not the same as dueling, but battling is pretty similar, so I've gotten the hang of it.
omg my inbox consolidated all the emails so I didnt see this one! ):
That seems to be the next town over, but, if it's really as tough as they say, maybe I should take some time beforehand to really train, especially since I don't know how to quite do this yet. Can you help me?
gmail y u do this
[ Of course, then they'd actually meet up way sooner than they expected, but they don't know that yet. ]

[ Oh, a wedding huh? ]
You mean Carly's wedding? How are you planning to get there though?
