seventeen meatbuns -dictated-

[goldencirclet]

I got all these monkey poky-mons and they're awesome! It's so funny that they keep saying their names all the time. If I was a poky-mon I'd say 'Goku' all the time!

Chim! Chimchar!

That's Chimchar. His butt is on fire!

[So much giggles. What, he's a kid.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[If anyone happens to have their journals open, they may well hear the voice of a rather confused-sounding man.]

Ah, hello. This may seem like an odd question, but does anyone know how to start a cooking fire? I...managed to get myself rather lost, I'm afraid. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I ended up somewhere in the mountains and a large green reptile of some form seems to have decided to... [A short pause.] Well, she seems to have adopted me, for lack of better terminology. I am uncertain it is wise for me to eat the meat she brought me raw. Assistance would be much appreciated.


((ooc: Open for everyone. This is mostly an explanation of where Dhaos will be for the rest of the event, and how he gets the pokemon that'll be following him home. I will answer your tags when I can.))

[bound_darkness]

[Hinata was right... there was something creepy going on with the journals. Something that probably would be a good idea to ignore, but who can ignore something like this?

Besides... what if... hmmm...]

[Written]

People from another world,

[Because what else could they be?]

Has any of you seen the legendary Reshiram?

-Cloud.

[Dictated]

[There is reproving yelp in the background, Cloud's Umbreon is giving him a look and it'd facepalm if it could.]

... What? I had to ask.

28 pokeballs filled (open)

[ectobabble]

[this morning finds Ray and his Litwick on the outskirts of Castelia City, on Route 4 near the construction sites. Ray's got a brand new utility belt with plenty of pockets, and a few new Pokeballs, and some berries and sprays ...

... and an itch to do what scientists do best: FIELD WORK. he's crouched at the edge of some tall grass, goggles down, watching carefully for any sign of movement, keeping his voice low]

Okay. ... Okay, Litwick. I think I see one. This is cool. This is great, I know just what to do.

Wiiiiiick... [the poor Litwick is still just a starter, and it's not very happy about this, but Ray LOVES HER to pieces, so she can forgive how scary this is and be brave. also, he fed her french toast this morning. best trainer.]

Ready? ... Ready?! .... GET IT!

[and as the Litwick jumps into the tall grass .... A WILD (INSERT YOUR POKEMON HERE) APPEARS! shall we battle, residents?]

¤ 37 - Fireball

[honorinflames]

Control of fire comes from within, so... you must master your breath, the energy inside yourself, before you can control flame. So, let's try a breathing exercise. A slow breath in like this--[the appropriate pause here]--aaand, breathe out...

Chaaaaarrr...

That's good!

[there is some firebending training going on in the park. Though, one of the firebenders can't actually firebend right now, and the other one is a chubby orange lizard. So there's that.]

Okay, let's go through the routine I was showing you yesterday.

Char char!! [and, with that, the lizard excitedly flails around in its own version of what looks vaguely kung-fu... throwing erratic bits of flame around, and accidentally slapping a nearby bush with its fiery tail... which kind of catches the shrub on fire]

Hey, stop! Don't-- ...Uh-oh.


((ooc: Zuko is still on his dumb happyface loss. Open for the small fire in the park, or just watching a kid try to teach firebending moves to a pokemon))

The Delivery Boy (19)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Everyone is having fun in Castelia City, right? Wrong. There's a very irritable Pikachu wearing a tiara wandering around, trying to tug their journal around. She really can't wait for this world change to be over, for obvious reasons.]

-I swear, if one more person throws a Pokeball at me, I'm just going to lose it!-

[Except, of course, you don't hear that. You hear-]

Pikaaaa, pikachu pi pi kachu pi.

[ 61 ]

[needtoruleit]

...No, sorry. This is just not how evolution works. It just isn't! Things don't just--

Psy. Psy psy.

[talking over the pokemon] --I mean, yes, competition and battle play a roll in evolution, but not in one generation like this. It's not like "poof, oh hey I proved that I'm stronger than this thing, so I am suddenly now something different"--

Psssy? Psy-y-y~

[he sighs and his voice turns away from the journal for a second] ...Don't you have something to do? Go look at a book or something. I'm sure there are some with pictures. Maybe even pictures of lady ducks! Just... go over there.

[and, there's quiet for a moment. he sighs.] You know what I mean, though? This doesn't make any real sense. And some of these things don't even look like animals at all! I swear, I saw one today that-- ...Psy! Psy psy-yy-yy!

Okay. You know what? That does it.

[the sounds of a short scuffle later, and the other voice is reduced to pathetic muffled sounds in the background, and Billy breathes a sigh of relief]

...Ahhh, so much better. ...So, as I was saying, some of these creatures don't even seem to be organic...


((ooc: there's a library in the main city, right? that's where Billy can be found, with a Psyduck that currently has a pair of welding goggles wrapped around its beak))

034 red letters

[eat_me_beat_me]

You know, these pokemon things are really incredible when you get to look at them. They're all so different! I've never seen anything like them before!

I hope that we can keep stuff when we go back to the castle. Hey, uh, if anyone wants any drawings of their pokemon or anything just let me know.

[Nora's found a spot in the plaza and is sitting with her sketchbook, drawing all the pokemon and people who pass by. Her Smeagle is sitting next to her with his own book, painting with his tail and looking as happy as can be]

((ooc: Opeeen! Nora will be doing art all day. Come join her!!))

[cheerupemoborg]

[After spending the last couple of days in the big city, Hank had finally gotten bored of the place and had decided to head north. Any wandering travelers can find Hank at a small cafe in Opelucid City, quietly examining a Pokeball while lost in thought. His Rotom is around there somewhere, no doubt terrorizing and pranking other customers.]

...I actually caught one of them. 'Pawniard', I think it's called.

So that's it? All you need to do is catch one and it will obey you, no taming necessary? What a bizarre world this is.

[His Rotom is around there somewhere, no doubt terrorizing and pranking other customers. Not that Hank seems to care.]

-76- Bad Reputation

[luckyvalentine]

[welp... normally a park would be too naturey of a place for her to sun herself, but... desperate times call for desperate measures! So, she's got herself a nice reclining beach chair set up by the pond, umbrella stuck in the grass, the whole works. Close enough to a beach, right?]

I don't know why everyone's working so hard--this monster training thing is a total piece of cake. My little... cat... thing... is going to be a master by the end of this trip.

[yeah, she's really working hard. Just look at her go! Basking away like a champion, until her little pet comes bounding back]

...Purrr?

[Faye opens her hand, and the Purrloin drops something appropriately shiny into it]

Oh, wonderful work! You are getting so good at this. [pausing to actually... pet the thing behind it's oversized ears, while it happily purrs away] Such a good kitty~ ...Now go on, get back to work.


((ooc: Faye's hanging out in her skimpiest bikini in the park... feel free to fall victim to Purrloin's theivery if you'd like. or just gawk at her incredible training skills.))

2nd Test // Written // Chell

[goodjumper]

[ Her handwriting is still kind of childish-looking, scrawled and dipping below their lines at times. Still, it's a small improvement over how she wrote to begin with. If you try hard enough, you might even be able to tell what the poor test subject is trying to write. ]

What are you doing? These are animals. Not toys. Not test subjects. They should be free. They dont deserve this.

I will take any I see and let them go.

Episode 90

[spongetastic]

[Peter is going through Nimbasa City. He's heard this place has theme parks but he's just looking around for now. His Eevee Parker is following along, running up to any human it sees]

It's been a while since I've gotten the time to relax like this. I'm not sure where to start.

005 - Is beannaithe thú idir na mná agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Íosa.

[shepherdsveritas]

So I heard these things get stronger an' change if y'train 'em, aye?

Ursa! Teddiursa!

Shut it. Ursa... [He mutters] Fer Christ's sake...

Does anyone, I dunno, wanna fight with 'em or somethin'? Or is jus' wanderin' 'round fightin' them wild ones an' hopin' fer th'best really th'best way t'go? I've been wanderin' 'round an' he's doin' pretty well but nothin's happened.

Ursa! Ursa!

[Connor sighs. Seriously. What is his life?! Is he seriously doomed to forever have a damn teddy bear?!]

( Murphy, Rocco, Da )

((ooc: Connor desperately wants to evolve his Teddiursa. He can be found wandering around in some tall grass since, well, it's better than sitting around and hoping it miraculously changes... and hope it doesn't change into something even cuter. /sigh. Come help the poor guy?))

ninth dream

[flailingfelt]

[being a Pokemon is a very harrowing experience. he's been running away from hopeful trainers sicing their Pokemon on him ever since they hit land. but then Kermit remembered what Luna said about trying to make a sign. he can't wish for anything, so it takes him a few days' planning and thought to figure it out.

today, he's finally managed to follow a maid into a hotel room while she's cleaning, by posing as the occupant's Pokemon ... and grabbed a pad of hotel stationery and a pen in his mouth and booked it. now, out in the lobby, he plops down in a corner and attempts to write his note.

these little Politoed hands are not designed for writing. It's not going well.]

…… POLI. [see icon.]

((OOC: Come bother a not so wild Politoed! He's meant to be caught by Sam Flynn, but you can totally thread with him before it goes down.))

037. [dictated, open to action]

[foolreversed]

[Adachi hasn't done a whole lot ever since coming here except getting lost. But hey that little weed thing of his can pack a mean punch whenever a wild pokemon tried to attack them so he's been safe at least! Now he's ended up in the outskirts of another damn city (Nimbasa this time) and is sitting down somewhere with his journal as Tsubomi (the name he chose for Oddish) picks some fights.]

Sheesh, anyone else having problems getting lost? I just tried talking [re: flirting] to some of the police officers in the last city- you know the ones with blue hair? Man, what is with that, that's taking the uniform a bit too far! A-Anyway, when I mentioned my own experience with being a cop they seemed more interested in trying to recruit me than help me and-

[suddenly in the background, Oddish starts making strange noises]

Mm? Tsubomi-chan...?

[to Adachi's surprise tough, Tsubomi is glowing!]

...O-Oh!! Are you evolving!? [he is getting up for this, OMG HE IS EXCITED]

Oddddddddddddd...

Oh boy, oh boy, what'll it be?! Something cool right? Come on, you can do it...

[and then, after the change finally occurs...]

Gloooooom!

[there's a brief silence as Adachi takes in what he's seeing but then... but then...]

Ugh!! What's that smell!? Is that coming from you!?

Gloom!

N-No! Stay back! [coughing and then stumbling as Adachi tries to get as far away as possible] Don't get any closer!

Gloooooooooooooooooooom!

Ack! No! You're getting drool- H-HELP!!

[anyone passing by is just going to see a happy Gloom trying to get cuddles from its owner, now on the ground, as he struggles to get her off while covering his nose]

[ earlier in the afternoon, jet is chilling out on the grass in a park in castelia, because that's what the cool people do, apparently. dro, his arcanine, is being social for once, checking out and occasionally interacting with other pokemon that come into the park. jet, meanwhile, is sharpening his knives and his swords. he stops between swipes to dictate. ]

So... these people who are reappearing, just like what happened in Paris, the whole amnesia deal and everything... Any of them start remembering yet? Or was what a one time thing?


[ ooc; open in person and over the journal! ]

Forth Drink

[wastheexample]

[Haymitch can't sleep at night. He hasn't been able to sleep at night since he came out of the arena, twenty five years ago, so he spends his evenings taking part in that most regular of pastimes; Drinking to Forget.

So, at around 3am, Haymitch is sitting in the hotel bar, a bottle of wine in front of him, his Farfetch'd sitting on the barstool beside him. First line of business, if they are awake to see it or not, Haymitch takes out his pen to write a wonderful message in the journals]

[Panem filter - filtered away from Clove]

I told you so.

[That done, he tries to take a swig from the wine the good barkeep had already handed to him, only to have the Farfetch'd strike out at his hand, stopping him mid-reach]

The hell?!!! Get off you damn bird! [He reaches out again. THWAP!!] Stop it or I will seriously get Gale to cook you.

[When it is clear he's not going to get his wine any time soon, Haymitch decides he needs the help of his oldest and dearest friend. Sadly, his oldest and dearest friend isn't here, so he has to settle for the next best thing]

[Finnick]

Finnick. Finnick, wake up. The evil duck won't let me have my wine. Come help me take away its stick.

[[[ooc:Open at the bar or over the journal...if you're awake to hear him at this ungodly hour]]

Eighth Time - You know I've got a Naughty nature <3 [action]

[losemycherry]

[After several days of travel, Yamada arrives at her destination. She checks the town map just to make sure she's come to the right place; then, with a sigh of exhausted relief, she folds it up and stuffs it into her pack.

Earlier in the week, Yamada had phoned the owner of the Day Care on Route 3, asking if there was any need for extra hands, and volunteering herself for a position. It had been a rough time getting here with only one Pokémon: her Mawile, Honeytrap. But luckily she was able to avoid eye contact with people for most of the way, through the use of her trusty new umbrella.

Before she can enter the Day Care, Honeytrap gives a sharp, steely cry. In answer, Yamada crouches down, fishes around in one of the side pockets of her pack, and draws a Cheri Berry, which she genially offers to her hungry Mawile.]

[OOC: Open to everyone!]

Nepeta: Learn the hard way.

[rogueofheart]

[Nepeta clears her throat to speak, and the purring of her Shinx can be heard in the background.]

I don't suggest hunting any of the Pokémon, especially not Pikachu. As tasty as they seem, they just aren't worth the trouble. Those thunder shocks can be really scary and they hurt plenty!

--Ouch!

[Her Shinx whines a bit, but she simply sighs and allows it to continue to lick her wounds.]

#9-Ice Cream

[blue_sniper]

( [Filtered to Bucky's friends] )

[With that done, he sets his journal next to him. Bucky's sitting on a bench in Castelia City's park, eating a ice cream. He's eating it specifically because of the Snorunt at his elbow. Every so often when he's pretty sure no one's looking, he'll feed it a bit of his ice cream.]

Sno!

Ssh! I'm not supposed to actually like you.

[shipper_on_deck]

[Isabela is sitting on one of the benches by the docks. Apparently, when she's not engaging in petty thievery or drinking, she's teaching her Chatot the most ridiculous of phrases.]

No, no. It's 'Arrrrr.' You have to mean it.

Arrrrr!

Good, you're getting it! Now how about 'Arrrr, hoist those sails, ye lily-livered searats or ye'll feel the lash o' me whip!'

....Arrrrrr! [for emphasis, Chatot flaps his wings]

...Close enough, I suppose.

[formersocialite]

I found a horse in my room with flames for its mane and tail.

Ponyta! Ponyta!

Fairly certain I didn't wish for it so if anyo-NO! Don't do that! Stay away from the wardrobe! [The voice grows fainter as Vivian goes to stop the pokemon.]

Not the dresser!

Ponyta!

I'm not trying to hurt you..just stop you from destroying my room! Argh!

[There's a few more background noises and then it's quiet for a moment or two until Vivian pipes up again, sounding out of breath.]

Got it. [She breathes in deeply.] No damage done thankfully.

[A beat.]

Forget that last part. I think my hair got singed.
