victory_road | October Catch All

Who: Bo-Katan and You!
Where: Goldenrod, Azalea, Violet, Cherrygrove, and all the areas inbetween.
When: All of October
Summary: Bo-Katan is traveling across parts of Johto

Oct 5th - 8th

The last time Bo-Katan had taken the magnet train it had been with Din. They had spent the hours talking and catching up. This time she made the trip alone. It was a lonely 6 hours but she managed, getting into Goldenrod City without incident.

Having the time to explore the city over the next few days, she checked out all the relevant points of interest. An entire day was spent at the department store, browsing and doing a little shopping. Mostly picking up supplies for her journey. Though it was also interesting to see everything else they offered there. She even briefly went into the Underground. Though of course she also spent time at the local Pokémon center. Not having a friend’s house to stay in this city, she would spend her downtime there. She could be found reading the copy of Paldean Rider magazine that she picked up at the department store, or studying information on the local gyms.

Before heading out of town though she made sure to stop by the beach. Bo-Katan letting several of her Pokémon play in the sand and the water. A baby Lapras and a Wartortle would be seen splashing around in the waves while a Axew and Cubone seemed content building sand castles. Bo herself simply enjoyed sitting nearby, watching her Pokémon and enjoying the breeze blowing through her red hair. Her Rowlet snoozing beside her.

Oct 9th - 15th

Early on the 9th the Mandalorian set out on her journey. Having picked her Pokémon for the trek and packed all the supplies she needed. On the back of her Cyclizar, they made good time traveling Route 34. And of course that’s when the rains started. Bo-Katan having been prepared as she had checked the forecast ahead of time. Rain didn’t scare her, but she did wear a hooded poncho over her armor to keep her drier.

Then came Ilex Forest. It was a lot darker than she expected, so much she turned on the light on her helmet to see better. Though at least the thick canopy made the rains more tolerable. Making her way through the forest with her Cyclizar, not as many Pokemon or people seemed to be out and about as she would usually expect. Though she did talk and battle against those she did come across. Learning about the shrine and even leaving a small piece of uj’alayi cake as seemed to be the local tradition.

Eventually she would make her way out of the forest and into Azalea Town. Bo-Katan finding herself amazed at the sheer number of slowpoke that were lying around everywhere, seemingly enjoying the rainy weather. She at least would be grateful to have a roof to sleep under at the local Pokémon Center that night.

Oct 16th - 22nd

More rain. It was still coming down by the time she left Azalea Town. Bo-Katan and her Cyclizar sped across Route 33 with the occasional battle stops before reaching Union Cave. The reprieve from the rain for the next couple days was a welcome one as the Mandalorian and her Pokémon walk through and explore the cavern. Having dry ground to sleep on was not at all taken for granted. Each night she camps out near water so her Lapras can enjoy swimming. Sometimes intently looking around as she swears she hears something in the distance that sounds familiar.

It’s still raining by the time they leave Union Cave. Bo and her Cyclizar making the journey across route 32 with more battles in between as they approach Violet City. Though it’s not without a detour at the Ruins of Alph and taking a day to explore there. At least there’s some cover from the rain in the ruins. Though soon enough they finally make it into Violet, deciding to leave Sprout Tower for another time, and she again stays at the local Pokémon Center.

Oct 23rd - 29th

Finally the rains weather pulls out and the sun makes its appearance! The warmer and drier weather is definitely a welcome change and Bo-Katan makes full use of the opportunity. She and her Pokémon leaving Violet City and traveling to Cherrygrove. The place where she had last left off before Din came to get her and took her to Saffron City. This time she takes the opportunity to better explore the city and the surrounding areas. The Pokémon and trainers are much weaker here and easier to defeat for her growing team, their their own growth is slower, but they keep at it anyway.

There’s no hurry this time as she leisurely explores with the nice weather and the abundance of Pokémon running around. Seemingly taking advantage of all the mushrooms and berries that are around. Even her Pokémon partake on the feast that nature has provided with Bo even picking berries to put in her bag for later.

((OOC: Feel free to come across Bo at any of these locations! If you have something specific in mind that you wish to discuss then feel free to reach out on my plurk!

It has been a mostly uneventful day for Harry as he goes around Goldenrod City following the end of the stamp rally. He didn’t got to the top tier in the Cyclizar race but he didn’t feel too bad: he is actually grateful for the opportunity outside of regretting not being able to stop Bonn from breaking through the maze walls with his head. Ouch, at least he didn’t got splinters on him though.

Adding to his own joy, the baby Pokémon he got from Cecil have hatched and they are such a lovable bunch too. Not as chaotic like the last set of eggs, thank Merlin for that.

As it happens, he is also at the city’s Pokémon Center, just finishing up some part time work in there and looking after and playing with a pair of Vulpix (one white as snow and the other red like fire) and a yellow fox whose ear furs resemble flames. Molly the Alolan Raichu and Ron the Umbreon are also there to help in looking after them with him.

"So this is where you want to explore?"

Mando is very uncertain about this. That cave looks gross and damp, and who knows what kind of weird Pokemon could be in there? Of course, the weird Pokemon are probably the point, and he sighs as he shoulders a messenger bag full of supplies. He figures they'll be in there for awhile.

"Anything in particular you're looking for and want to catch?"

Oct. 5-8 (Goldenrod)
