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!]

Ash, is that you?

[walking by all lost and confused--and thank god a familiar face!


...even if he's much taller than what she remembers]

[notinmtsilver]

Dawn? I haven't seen you in a while!

[Just as cheerful as ever-- gosh you seem short!]

[lightcharms]

Yeah, it feels like forever since I've last seen you!

[she squints as Piplup bounds up to Pikachu, all teary eyed and joyful to see a friend again]

...have you grown?

[notinmtsilver]

[Pikachu'll jump down from Ash's shoulder to say hello to his old buddy.]

Not a whole lot recently. [Then again, his recent is probably a couple months at most.]

But you seem a little shorter than I remember.

[lightcharms]

[SUP BRO how's it been man you seem a little different]

...are you sure about that? Because last I remember, you were only my height. And I haven't grown at all.

[notinmtsilver]

[It's been good! We've been off adventuring, you know how it's been.]

No? ... Oh! When was the last time you saw me?

[lightcharms]

When you and Brock left for Kanto of course.

[notinmtsilver]

Wow. That was years ago...

Guess I did do a lot of growing since then.

[lightcharms]

...years ago?

[notinmtsilver]

Yup. I'm twenty. [YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SIXTEEEEEN]

[lightcharms]

[stares.



stares.




stares AHAHAHHAHA no wait really?]

--no offense or anything Ash, but you don't look it.

[notinmtsilver]

[he'll laugh it off.]

Yeah, I know. Can't really do anything about it.

[lightcharms]

Guess it comes in handy, not looking your age.

[notinmtsilver]

If there's a time, I haven't run into it yet.

[lightcharms]

You'll find it some day, I'm sure. Whenever you want to sneak into a school or something, for example.

[notinmtsilver]

[That'll make him laugh a lot]

Why would I want to do that? [HE SUCKS IN A CLASSROOM.]

[lightcharms]

W-Well--what if you wanted to help a friend or something but they only allowed students into the school?

[best logic]

[notinmtsilver]

Alright, I would always sneak in for a friend! [FRIENDSHIP TRUMPS ALL THE THINGS]

[lightcharms]

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

[notinmtsilver]

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

How've you been, Dawn?

[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?

[notinmtsilver]

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