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!]

[...Oh. Good. He won't have to fight somebody like him when he decides to go on a journey. OR WILL HE???]
That explains it. I'm from Unova.

[lightcharms]

Exactly, in that case it'd be good to look young. Otherwise, you'd look really suspicious.

[notinmtsilver]

Unova's a pretty cool place. The gym leaders there were pretty tough from what I remember.

[Could this one's appearance be any louder? The roar of an unmuffled engine announcing his entrance, Wes skidded to a halt in the plaza. Well crap, now where was he? This didn't look like either Orre or the Island.

A few helpful NPCs later, Wes took to leaning against his bike while he absorbed this new information, seriously considering procuring for himself a cigarette. He wasn't really a smoker, but damn if he wasn't tempted to become one now.]

[fated_fall]

Heh. They won't stand a chance, when I go on my journey.
[Of course, the league is... different. But listen to that confidence!
...]
I wonder if any of them have been kidnapped. [Teleported, please.]

[notinmtsilver]

[he'll chuckle] Confident. Always good to see, but you can't win with just confidence.

You mean around here? ... They might be. If they are, I haven't run into them yet.

[falsified]

[When was the last time he saw a bike like that?

... Never. He won't approach, but he'll watch the bike for a few minutes. Looks pretty cool!]

[ Don't feel too dumb, Archie; it's the first thing that crossed Tallie's mind as well.

"This isn't Hoenn."

She's a little reluctant to believe what the locals are saying, but it's not like her own theories are any better. The only semi-logical one is that she's dead and this is the afterlife, but she doesn't feel dead, or remember dying...

Tallie's not paying attention even as her Castform tugs on her bandanna to get her to turn around. Eventually the little Pokemon will give up and start zipping around on its own... meaning that it'll nearly run straight into Archie. Fun times. ]

[shadowsnagger]

[Of course not; Wes built it with his own two hands.

Hey, you don't look like one of the random NPCs milling around. You must be important.]

Not from around here, either, huh?

[falsified]

[Oh game logic.]

Nope, I was in Sinnoh before I got here.

[feelsgoldman]

[asldkajsdf sorry Ash, you are about to be BLASTING OFF tossed a few feet into the air by an orange and blue blur that totally did not see you coming in time. ;;

Ethan screeches to a stop in front of the chaos, wide-eyed and momentarily forgetting about the hat in favour of helping up the poor guy. Typhlosion, having finally stopped a few meters away, looks sheepish.]

Oh man, sorry about that! You okay?

[notinmtsilver]

That's true. At least there's one good thing about it.

How've you been, Dawn?

[shadowsnagger]

Orre. [Originally. Then Awesome Island for a while, followed by Orre again until this place.

Wes shudders at the thought of Sinnoh, unconsciously rubbing his arms.]

Why anyone would want to go to Sinnoh is beyond me. [Shut up, Wes, not everyone is from Tatooine the desert like you.]

[lightcharms]

I've been well. It's a bit disappointing that I didn't even get to step a foot on Hoenn but no biggie. What about you? What have you been up to?

[feelsgoldman]

[Well that's a familiar voice if he's ever heard one. Ethan looks round and starts slightly at the man that's just. RIGHT THERE. Good god.]

Oh, uh. Hey there, Irwin! [This smile isn't nervous at all that'd just be silly.] Didn't expect to see you all the way out here. How's it going?

[falsified]

I've never been to Orre. What's it like there?

I think Sinnoh's pretty cool!

[shadowsnagger]

Exactly my point. [It's too cool. I mean, snow? What's up with that nonsense?]

Hot. Dry. ...full of sand. Not a whole lot to look at.

[notinmtsilver]

Not too much. Just some traveling. [LIES YOU LIAR. YOU ARE AVOIDING YOUR GYM LEADERLY DUTIES]

[falsified]

Huh... it kind of sounds like some of Hoenn. There's a pretty big desert there.

[powertrades]

[Yeah yeah, new strange place, that's amazing.

Or it might be, anyway, when Silver is actually awake. As it stands, all anyone gets is the rather peculiar sight of a redhead that may or may not be familiar unceremoniously sleeping on the roof of a building along with his Sneasel.]

[quietfortitude]

[did anyone catch the number of taurus that just ran by? thanks...

Dazed, he accepts Ethan's help, stumbling around with the hat and small yellow pokemon in hand. Then he grins nodding, giving a thumbs up. He's totally fine.

Here's your hat though. Scraggy's his]

[littlestfae]

[Siiiiilver.


Siiiiiiiiiiilver.

Creeping up, with a feather in hand. Tickle tickle tickle]

[shadowsnagger]

It's all desert. [Wes lets out a sigh, running a hand through his hair.]

No wild Pokémon, and no league. Just a warning in case you were thinking it might be fun to visit.

[falsified]

Nah, I've got some stuff to do in a couple of other places.

Can't really vacation, ya know?

[droppedballs]

[ >implying Ethan is capable of being nervous! ETHAN IS A FLAWLESS BEING HE DOES NOT FEEL THE NERVES THAT MERE MORTALS FEEL ]

I am good! It's odd being here, but I don't mind! [ especially when ethan's here KYAA... protag... ] And how are you? Have you been doing well? Catch any new Pokemon lately? Win any battles-- oh, of course you did! Oh! How's your mom doing-- [ He's going to keep going on and on if he isn't stopped. ]
