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!]

Sob never leave me shin

[ohcrumbs]

What do you mean? Is your backpack too full?

[Yeaaaaaah pre-convenient PC system!]

[notinmtsilver]

[short sigh]

Yeah, I know. I can't do anything about it though. [Clearly his numerous temporary deaths have permanently fucked up his aging process.]

[battlestandby]

Something's off about you. The Ash I know smiles almost constantly, actively tried to befriend me even when I disrespected him, and was... so expressive, like he was constantly energetic.

You feel more... like a normal person.

[falsified]

... Sorry I'm not what you're used to, I guess. [Is that even the right response?

It's the only one that came to mind.]

[battlestandby]

You're actually preferable compared to the Ash I know. Not nearly as annoying.

[battlestandby]

So what became of you after all those years? You don't act like a Pokemon Master.

[falsified]

... Guess that's a plus. [Crap, he's not the same as the other versions of him. That might be a problem later.]

I won't leave but I'll probably conk out early now and then

[battlestandby]

I've already got a full team of six, and numerous reserves back home. I leave my extras with my brother. But if there's no way to contact my world, I'm stuck with the six I've got and have no means of transporting anything I catch here.

[notinmtsilver]

Oh, I'm a gym leader. [You know, kind of like Fantina.

But even harder to find.]

[battlestandby]

If there's going to be more than one Ash to deal with in this place, it helps to have at least one that isn't completely irritating.

[falsified]

I won't bother you too much. [He hardly even knows you.]

what sad nights those will be

[ohcrumbs]

What? You can just hold onto them until we find a storage system.

[battlestandby]

... What exactly have you been planning for since the Sinnoh League?

[falsified]

I'm going to the Unova League next.

[battlestandby]

... That's it? That's all you settled for?

[notinmtsilver]

It's not like I just stay there. I travel a lot. [Like. Off to different leagues.]

Gym battles are fun. [If endlessly frustrating for all his poor challengers.]

[battlestandby]

How can you be certain that there is a storage system in this place?

[fated_fall]

[Grimsley shrugged a little.] Hydreigon - this guy's a wimp. We'll find someone better to fight.
[But Hydreigon, though Docile-natured, is still a Hydreigon. And she's diving to strike!]

[ohcrumbs]

There should be a Pokémon center in town!

Besides, I need to start filling the data in my Pokédex.

[battlestandby]

Hm? That's a long way to travel for a journey...

[battlestandby]

But are you actually aiming for a higher goal, or are you just traveling for the sake of traveling?

[falsified]

I've already been through Hoenn, Johto and Sinnoh.

Besides, the farther away the more new stuff to see, right?

[notinmtsilver]

I'm aiming higher-- but traveling's definitely part of it.

[battlestandby]

Perhaps... as long as their Pokemon are useful.

[battlestandby]

... Then how are you able to maintain your Gym Leader position if you're not at your post?
