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. ]

Still, he feels maybe he should do something before anyone actually gets hurt in all the chaos.
"Be careful! Don't... don't hurt it!"

"Miss Rose!" It turns around a little startled as Aki comes up behind it and dunks her Pokeball on Gossifleur with as much force as her arm can wind up.
The Pokémon quickly flashes into a red light before going into the ball.
"What attack did you tell it to do?" Throw Hands was super-effective.
no subject
Well, other than at the end there. He certainly hadn't told the Budew to attack at all, let alone which attacks to use.
1/2
As Aki gives off a brief explanation for Miss Rose's future participation on the Johto No Fly-list, the ball turns and clicks with another success.

"I don't have anything to pay you back with at the moment, but I promise I'll return the favor some day! I was a competitive duelist back home, and this is somewhat similar." She isn't quite sure on the last assessment and it's quite palpable in her voice. She heard
there's a competitive league and she's fighting with plants. It fits her two criteria as a career.

Shrike really doesn't feel like he's done much, if anything, to contribute.
"But... um, you know you can see information about the Pokémon the thing?"
He means the 'gear.

Shrike takes a moment to go through his own bag, eventually pulling out his PokéGear and holding it up.
"This."
no subject
She's ready to learn Shrike! It's like Whitney Houston said, the children are the future
even if they are older than you.no subject
"You press this to turn it on..."
He demonstrates as he explains, going immediately for the functions related to getting information on Pokémon. His explanations are pretty short and not very detailed at all, bordering on vague as often as not, but as he does the actions himself as he describes them it'll probably be fine. Hopefully.

She hovers her PokeGear over Budew. Her voice softly reading the list of moves can faintly be heard above the Pokedex entry, "Budew. The Bud Pokemon. When it feels the sun's warm touch, it opens its bud to release pollen. It lives alongside clear pools."
"Hmm... It only seems to know Absorb as an attack, yet it seems a lot more physical in the way it usually attacks." How interesting!
I'm sorry all my time got eaten by TBC Classic release >_>
He's learning, but there's a lot to learn. In other words, he's a complete newbie at this too, just one who happened to have actually read the handbook.
