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!]

[Totally. Enjoy having Bianca not moving at all while she goes through her worry check-up.]

I was so worried about anyone! Imagine how I felt when I suddenly appeared here and I didn't know anyone and Stoutland didn't recognize any smells!

[heroineoftruth]

I know what you mean. Galvantula didn't recognize anyone either. [Oh, speaking of the electric spider -- he will just join this pile by crawling up onto Bianca's back. Yes.] I'm fine, though. Are you all right?

[Especially worried since Bianca hadn't been the toughest trainer of them three.]

[futureprofessor]

Yes, I am! ...just a bit lost. Do you have any idea of like, where are we?

[We need more in the pile, definitely! A flash of light will come out from Bianca's bag and Musharna comes out to say hello to Galvantula.]




[...wait, three? You mean four, right? ;A;]

[heroineoftruth]

Not really. It doesn't look like any town in Unova that I've heard of before, though.

[Oh! Galvantula's never sure of his standing with Psychic Pokémon, being a Bug-type, but Musharna! Good friends!]




[HILBERT IS A SUBWAY CAMEO NOTHING MORE-- yes four ;w;]

[futureprofessor]

Oh... [She thought her friends could help, them being so smart and all.] ...I guess you don't know how to go back either.

[Welp, this is Bianca's Musharna SO SHE'S FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE AAAH what's up bro, enjoying the new scenery?]




[HOW CAN YOU SAY THOSE HORRIBLE THINGS, DON'T DIVORCE THE AWESOME FOURSOME oh thank Arceus *^*]

[heroineoftruth]

Sorry. I wish I did. I'd really like to have Maractus around instead of... [She glances at Reshiram's Pokéball.] Anyway, I'm sure once we find Cheren, we'll be able to think of something. He's smarter than us both put together.

[Yeah yeah look at all the places you can hang webs up on! Good eating!]






[AWESOME FOURSOME'S ONLY AWESOME AS LONG AS CAMEOS STAY CAMEOS no kidding kidding don't worry Hilbert is a Loved and Cherished part of it all]

[futureprofessor]

Yeah, that's good plan! [Quickly stands up, not realizing the shaking that it could be for the spider, and offers a hand to her friend.] Let's find Cheren and Black so we can like, all explore the new area together, White!



[YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK THIS GIRL'S HEART IF YOU GO ON SAYING THOSE THINGS he better]

[heroineoftruth]

Sounds goo-- [Wait. Black? White? Hilda looks confused - is confused! - but clears her throat and nods. Galvantula doesn't mind the shaking - he's happy to be back by his trainer. Crawling up onto her back instead. Hilda'll have to ask about the whole weird color name thing later.] Uh, sounds good.


[IF IT GETS BROKEN HILDA'LL JUST KISS IT ALL BETTER don't worry]

[futureprofessor]

[Musharna rests on top of a very worried Bianca, who doesn't like her friends' reaction at all.] White, are you ok? ...I didn't like, hurt you or anything, did I?



[but that's Cheren's job WE HAVE A DEAL THEN]

[heroineoftruth]

[This is the same Bianca she knows, but...] No, it's fine. [She pauses, trying to figure this out. Why was she calling her White?] You didn't bump your head when you knocked into me, did you?

[threesome EXCELLENT]

[futureprofessor]

Me? Noooo! I'm perfectly fine! Clumsy Bianca is used to being on the floor! [Lowering her hat. That was kinda embarrassing to say.]


[I like the way you think, dear sir or madam

[heroineoftruth]

[Abububu, you're definitely Bianca.] You sure? I wouldn't forget my own name, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't either. Cheren might, but that's because he's kind of a jerk, but he'd just be playing.

[If we get Hilbert in it can be a foursome.]

[futureprofessor]

[Alright, that makes her giggle.] He's a bit grumpy, isn't him? But of course I wouldn't forget our names, we're best friends after all!


[I can't say no to that - is N somewhere in the equation too?]

[heroineoftruth]

Then you'd know my name was Hilda, not White. [--Wait.] Not that I'm doubting our friendship, Bianca! I know you're an amazing friend - you have been ever since we first met - but... [Her name isn't White.]


[We could squeeze him in, I'm sure.]

[futureprofessor]

[Froooown.] What you're talking about? I never heard that name before! You're White, one my best friends that grew up with me in Nuvema Town! [Give her a minute while she opens her Xtransiver and shows Hilda her list of numbers. They have a little picture next to them.]

-Black
-Cheren
-Home
-Professor Juniper
-White

[It looks like the alphabet order leaves her dear friend a the end of the list.]

[heroineoftruth]

[That was definitely Hilbert. And that was definitely her. But... but!]

Well, I've never heard White before. [She rubs the back of her neck, thinking.] What Pokémon did you pick to start out with?

[futureprofessor]

This is so weird... [A sigh.] My starter? Oshawott of course!

[heroineoftruth]

[Oshawott? No way.]

Not Snivy?

[futureprofessor]

[Shakes her head.] ...so you got Tepig?

[heroineoftruth]

[She nods.] Yeah. Cheren got Oshawott and said he'd wanted the little guy in the first place anyway... Hilbert-- uh, Black had an Oshawott too.

[futureprofessor]

Ah... [This is so weird. She got used to Cheren having a big pig with muscles that screamed STRENGTH all over.] I wonder how much stuff have changed... I mean, you're totally like, the friend I remember!

[heroineoftruth]

You too. This place is just weird. [Best not to think to hard on it. Bianca's just the same, minus the change in starters.] Well, it doesn't matter. You're still my best friend, and nothing'll change that.

[futureprofessor]

That's true! [Links her arm with Hilda's.] And I can get used to a new name as long as I have you and the guys with me!

[heroineoftruth]

[Tugging Bianca ever closer.] We should explore a little then! I wonder if they have clothing shops and stuff here? That'd be fun.

[futureprofessor]

[Yay, friendly cuddling is a go.] Oooooh, yes! Do you think they'll have strange clothes here? Like, different culture and all! And some nicely decorated Pokéballs too!
