The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

mreow!!

[ Your unevolved form is weak! Plus, you're a furpile.

Well, except she's working for teen!Ghetsis now, but it should be fiiiine, he's not crazy yet. ]

Landorus's Shrine... I suppose I'll have to pay it a visit later. Sadly, I haven't got the chance to meet any of my friends! You do remind me of someone I know, though.

[ Yep, a pretty nice start.
Besides she's already kind of planning sleepovers with Hilda. :|b Have I mentioned she's totally good at being a member of a villainous team? ]

back in the day, when knights wore helmets, they needed protection from the metal hitting their head

[heroineoftruth]

What island?

[Wow don't call Hilbert her brother that makes her flirting-not-flirting weird... and oh gosh she's sure your nails are awful from having to be in Plasma and all, they'll get mani-pedis to cure that right up! this is the most beautiful friendship ever that's what it is

okok sounds good waifu]

Awww, how noble of you

[cooloutfits]

[ No worries, she's only mean to THOSE RUDE BRAINLESS FURPILES OF A DOG STOUTLANDS. ]

... But if it's supposed to be a refuge, won't that make us intruders? We were brought here against our own will, though...

[ Oh wow is she actually looking serious there
What is this ]

[battlestandby]

... I can't believe you'd just... forget me so easily!

[notinmtsilver]

It's been six years! It wasn't like I traveled with you. [Hell, the gym leaders are kind of fuzzy too. What order did he go at them in?]

Okay!

[sans_eyepatch]

[He more flailed and thought he was hallucinating the entire time, really.

Tally ho, good servant! Oh, is this the inn? Looks pretty cozy.]

Nice place.

[sans_eyepatch]

[Who's got a furry face, fuzzball?

Ghetsis begins casually on his way toward town, keeping a slow enough pace that little N can keep up, though he doesn't look back to make sure he stays with him. Nope, he's just going to walk with his hands in his pockets and if N wanders off, it's not his problem.]

still kind of pointless though, I mean all the Plasmas must've hit their heads already. Hard.

[cooloutfits]

... You haven't been there? I thought a lot of people here have been on that island...

[ But you look so alike what's she supposed to think? Well the eye colour is different but still wow you guys kind of look like each other
And oh my that would be amazing! Seriously, they don't know how to treat ladies in that team, she once got screamed at for polishing her nails! The nerve of them, really! I can't why is this even happening you guys were supposed to be rivals

wow man you need to specify whose waifu she's not being Ghetsis' waifu that's damn dangerous ]

[battlestandby]

You can't remember a rival?

[ex_ghostwriting235]

[One day, you too can be the elite four! Or some sort of encouraging speech like that. If that were Shauntal's thing, anyway, which it isn't.]

That's understandable. Nuvema Town is rather far from the major publishers in Unova. When I've finished with this novel, however, I'll be sure to let you know! I'll even reserve a copy for you, if you would like!

[notinmtsilver]

Six years!

[falsified]

[Whatever, like he cares. Weird purple hair or not, Ash doesn't look up at him. He's grumpily walking past with Pikachu on his shoulder.

He had things to do.

So Paul, have you ever seen an Ash this annoyed at the world?]

[heroineoftruth]

Not me, I guess. The last thing I remember was being in Unova.

[Yeah it is pretty weird but uh let's not dwell on the deets... And wow rude, boys are so dumb when it comes to a girl's needs. They should be more sensitive! I don't know but I don't mind it at all needs more girl times around here


mai waifu]

[needsmoregreen]

Because it would be like another adventure!

[She said cheerfully before looking back at him] You don't think so?

[battlestandby]

[No, never at all. Ash is making Paul-faces, what the...

More importantly, the only other Ash Paul saw was a lot older than him, but this one looks to be the age he should be. Paul must get to the bottom of this!]

Ash!

[ex_ghostwriting235]

[What an angry child. But that's another reasonable reaction, too. So you know, taking notes on that, as well.]

Anger, yes. Likely one of the more common responses, but oddly enough, many of the others here have been more surprised than anything, based on their responses.

[falsified]

[He seems to stiffen for a moment, before relaxing and turning around. All traces of a scowl are gone, maybe you imagined it?]

What's up?

[ex_ghostwriting235]

[right, they steal Pokemon, too. Can't ignore that aspect of criminal organizations. It makes them easier to dislike in novels, as well as in real life.]

You weren't a member of this organization, were you? [it's a reasonable question, okay]

[ex_ghostwriting235]

[No, Plasma Grunts aren't too high on her list of things she likes, but in a place like this, declaring enemies right out might not be the best of ideas. Especially when if it's just a singular grunt, chances are it's not as bad, right? Not to mention there was no evidence of her having actually done anything yet. Shauntal ponders over thoughts such as those briefly before responding to the Grunt.]

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to hear your thoughts and feelings as you first arrived here! You aren't from this town, are you? [well, that's the sort of answer Shauntal's reached for now. Not that she won't try to keep watch for other Plasmas and Plasma activity in the future, but that's hardly the point. Chandelure, on the other hand, is far more wary of the Grunt than her Trainer seems to be.]

[fated_fall]

[He's only angry because of the situation. He's normally smug-ass. But he lets out a sigh.]
These people are unreal.
[But then...]
Are you surveying us? Why?

super rude

[snags]

[Uh...]</small Not ringin' any bells. I wasn't in the plaza.

[snags]

No. [or, well...] Formerly.

[cooloutfits]

... O-Oh. I see. Which part of Unova exactly?

[ Yes, let's not. Or maybe it's a sign that you and him should be ~together~! That would be so mysterious and romantic. And of course they are! First they forbid girls to look good, then they complain they can't find any nice girls. Geeze! Girl times all the way Chloe here needs some girl friends really, she just keeps meeting guys and ahahaha they're all kind of jerks
the sleepover thing should totally happen one day btw

d-doki
sob it doesn't help that I've always kind of shipped Hilda/this grunt since I played the game what am I doing with my life ]

[cooloutfits]

[ Too bad Chloe here is too oblivious to even realize you're one of the Elite Four, so she'll just keep acting like you're just a cute newswriter girl or something. ]

Oh, indeed I'm not from here. You're the same, right? In fact, when I arrived here, my first thought was "not again!" For you see, I have experienced something like this before. I was waiting for my teammates in the Pinwheel Forest, when I suddenly realized I wasn't even in a forest anymore! I was on an island now, as people explained it to me. And from that island, I seem to have gotten here! Thankfully, this time there were... a couple of people I have met before, so I don't feel as lost. In fact, I think this is an excellent opportunity! To start a new life in a place you've never been to before, meet new people from other regions, make new friends and rivals!! Isn't this just exciting?

[ ... Sorry, she is a bit of a babbler.

And by the way, her Purrloin is watching you, Chandelure. Ghost type, huh? ]

winning all the rude awards

[cooloutfits]

... You were in the plaza. I couldn't have mistaken you for anyone else. We were talking about the island, remember?

[ Boyyyy you need to visit a doctor or something that might be dangerous ]
