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. ]

And hey it's not like the fall DID kill the guy, after all, uh,]Uhhhh...you mean to the world...Period? Because honestly, it's about the same for everyone, whatever they were doing or not doing, they blinked, they were here, the specifics on what they were doing just varies there.
[SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SAY SHE'S DEAD THAT'LL JUST SPOOK THE GAL...]
1/2 | omg i realized with the canon point i took her from i can do this!
NO BUT DID MAKE HIS OUTSIDES MATCH HIS INSIDES THANK YOU!]Um... Okay. [ That answers Aki's question. She's not dead. She thinks. She's... bizarrely confused. She gets an idea on how to navigate around with without necessarily Talking About Things because, honestly, Carly is a woman great with words (since that is literally her job and all) but ?????? girl over here is not well socialized to say the least
though she really improves off screen in the span of 2 episodes. She starts rifling through her bag, looking for something that has sunk to the bottom. ]2/2 | aww this actually turned out to be really cute
We don't have to talk about it... [ She kind of Prefer Not To(tm). ] But things turned out okay. [ Not Really lol. Carly is Still Dead. Yusei, Jack and some random guy who has an awful lot of sudden importance are fighting for everyone's lives and Aki isn't even sure she summoned her dragon successfully and protected Luna. As far as she knows, everyone died because she got taken here LOL. But, um, still, she hopes it can explain her lack of um... animosity. ]
You know, you have a good eye for when there's more to a story. [ tbh she'd be much more willing to talk about how Misty straight up served Divine for dinner!! you know it's bad when she wants to talk about This Instead(tm) ]
awwww
Look, I just don't want you thinking you're dead okay, the last time I said that I was dead first everyone panicked and started talking about how they couldn't be dead, they didn't even remember that kind of thing and then I said 'well I never said YOU died' and they got all mad and-
[TAKE! A BREATH!]
...I've been here a while.
no subject
It's not like- I mean... [ OKAY FINE LET'S DIVE INTO IT A LITTLE! ] I didn't want you to think I thought you were evil or anything! Misty was able to learn the truth of what happened, because of the events you set up. [ ummm, yeah, that's the perfect way to describe Divine's.... fall.... from grace... ] She didn't want to fight by the end, but she didn't have much of a say in the matter.
How long have you been here? [ It's been less than a day since Carly passed which Aki now realizes she has to be vague about given her positive prognosis (better known, at the current point she was taken from her world from, as bold faced lie). ]
no subject
Nothing.] EHHHH?
...I mean I guess you being a bit mad about everything was definitely...
Ahe-m! Right. Well, I met some guy named Harald a while back from apparently after our point in time, so I took that to mean that you guys at least won, but it's good to hear more proof on that!
Anyway gosh, wow, it's been a while since I thought about that....uhhh...about two years?
...man, I'm 23 now. That's weird to think about. [It makes Aki look so much more like a kid to her, dang.]
no subject
I'm afraid I don't know a Harald. [ She's not quite sure what this implicates though; the gap in their maturity is really about to blown open when Aki divulges a little bit about time, in a White Lie sort of sense. She still doesn't want to give away that Carly is still
temporarilydead, so, um... ]It hasn't been too long since the thing with Misty happened. [ She was going to use Dark Signer thing at first but um, it's still technically going on right now.
Her mind is a little blown that she people from the future can possibly show up. ]
no subject
Hmmmm...if it's that close...then oh wow. Uh. [Hm.]
Right in the thick of things huh...geeze this must be weird for you, I would've just. Hm.
But wait how would you have kno- oh yeah the glyph...
[She's muttering to herself now...]
no subject
Seeing you [ Her words are trying to come to her but... failure. Failure all around. ] makes me realize that this place is real. [ There's a brief pause. ] Or whatever hit my head really got me good.
[ She knows Carly does a good job looking into things, so, overall, not a bad ally to have. ] Is there really no way out?
no subject
Ahem.] I can definitely confirm we're not the results of any head injuries though!! And uh.
No, sorry. I'd say there's plenty to enjoy here but...you were probably about to get a nice turn-around back home so...mnn.
Sorry, again.
no subject
If I suppose I'm really trapped here, I might as well make some attempt to enjoy it. And you aren't trying to force me into duel, so I think we're okay. Are you still a reporter? [ She really hopes Carly is living her best life while down here! ]
no subject
...Being honest, uhhh....dueling wasn't really my thing in the first place.
And oh- well, not reporting- it's not really a field you can jump into that easy when you're, aha, 'an illegal alien', [she coughs.]
But I doooo haveeeee a photo studio~! Also a gym!~ And I mean, I guess some side stuff going on with ice cream?
It's going great~! I'm even getting married!
