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!]

[It was nice to be home again. After that last battle with N-- no, with Ghetsis... She had been exhausted. A few day's rest really helped.

'Course, she's not expecting to see a whole town spread out before her when she steps out of her house. Well, she is, but not one with all the facilities it does. Galvantula crawls quietly behind her, looking around, as Hilda tries to figure out where they are, exactly.

Because it certainly isn't Nuvema Town.

Oh, she'd ask the villagers, but her little electric spider's a lot little unnerving.]

[powerfulwarrior]

[Heyyyy, it's that girl he battles beside at the Subway! Hilda, right? Yeah.

Let's go over to her, Stoutland. She looks lost and her, uh, her spider seems a little... Unnerving... Mmmmmaybe we'll just wave, haha, yeah. Waving is good.]

Hey, Hilda! Glad to see you outside the Subway!

[heroineoftruth]

[Oh, hey, it's that boy she met at the Subway that one time. Yeah. What was his name? Hilbilly? Hilbrand?

...Hilbert? Yeah.]

You too, Hilbert! [A quick glance at his Stoutland, too.] You're both looking well.

[Hilda'll just. nudge her quiet spider forward. There is no need to be rude, Galvantula. Go say hi to Stoutland. Crawl on over and greet her or whatever it is you spiders do.]

[powerfulwarrior]

[Wince.. Hilbert. Yeah. He should think up a new name while he's here, or maybe just pray no one makes fun of it. Two people already know it, three if Bianca's here and N would make four if he's here too.]

You're looking pretty great yourself. [Stoutland don't mind the spider. He's cool with anything except your pre-evolution. Damn ticks. A friendly woof hello because it's Hilda and her unnerving as hell spider.] Have you been to the shrine yet? I thought it might be pretty swell to give thanks to Landorus for a cool training spot.

[heroineoftruth]

[Hilbert's not that bad of a name!]

Not yet. You probably have though, huh. [Since he was always so friendly and curious. Unlike Galvantula. Who makes a sound back at Stoutland not unlike the screaming of a large goliath bird-eating spider. He's friendly, just! You know. That's how he speaks.] you mind coming with me?

[powerfulwarrior]

[It's old-fashioned and weird and uggghh!!!

Hilbert winces at the sound the Galvantula makes and shakes his head, smiling.] I'd never miss the chance to hang out with a friend. I don't know if Landorus'd like an Electric-type to come to his shrine though, being the landy type of god.

[heroineoftruth]

[It's... different!

That makes her frown a little.] If he's a god of the land, then he should love all things that live on it. And that includes Galvantula over there. [Otherwise she'll have a Talk with that god and make him see the error of his ways.]

[futureprofessor]

[You know what this girl does best? Bumping into people. Especially when she's lost in an unknown place.

So yeah, hello floor.] Waaah- I'm sorry!

[heroineoftruth]

[She'd know that girl anywhere!]

Bianca!

[Here, allow Hilda to help you up.]

[futureprofessor]

I'm so, SO sorry for this, miss! I'm kinda lost and- [She takes Hilda's hand and starts standing up, but when she finally notices who she's talking to, Bianca decides it's time for a squeal and a glomp. Think Hilda can take it or they'll end up in the floor again?]

[heroineoftruth]

[Back on the floor! She's more than happy to comply to that, although she definitely could've taken it. Just chose not to. Totally. Yeah.]

I'm glad to see you too! It's really good to see a familiar face [other than Hilbert's] around.

[futureprofessor]

[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.]

[fated_fall]

[Why hello, electric spider. Okay, so bitty Grimsley has a little bit of a dislike for bugs.]
Is that yours?

[heroineoftruth]

Yep! Great, isn't he?

[Hilda'll kneel down to pet her big ol' spider, who nuzzle her hand and watches the bitty. Quietly. Unnervingly.]

Despite his looks, he's a friendly bug. Want to pet him?

[fated_fall]

[Uh... Grimsley looked from the bug to his Hydreigon. As if asking - if that thing dares to attack me blast it with an attack or something okay?]
Drei.
...Fine, then.
[Though he looked VERY unnerved.]

[heroineoftruth]

[She'll nudge her bug forward, just a bit, encouragingly. Galvantula makes no haste shuffling closer to Grimsley and his big dark dragon. Ain't no thang but a Pidove wang.]

There, see? [Galvantula chirrups. Or. Whatever it is.]

[fated_fall]

[Grimsley then reached a hand out, nervously - biting his lip a little. And then he touched it.

It wasn't attacking. Hah. Of course it wouldn't. Shaking his head a little...]
It seems strong.

[heroineoftruth]

He is, relatively speaking. Nothing compared to Emboar or Stoutland, but he's pretty up there.

[Galvantula nuzzles the bitty's hand, just like he did his trainer's. Good.]

Your Hydreigon seems pretty strong too. Did you train it yourself?

[cooloutfits]

[ ... YOUR SPIDER ISN'T LITTLE, GIRL

NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST

oh dear lord she's even too busy freaking out over the Galvantula to notice that you're that girl who beat her!11 and start with her usual REVENGE shenanigans.

Yep, she's not good at the whole "Plasma grunt" thing. She can't even handle some Pokemon. ]

[heroineoftruth]

[PLASMAAAAuuuhhhh

.....uh.

Come on, her spider isn't that big. Why did chicks always freaked out over him?]

Hey, you. Plasma. [This is her Serious Tone. Galvantula knows what that means. He will. Hiss a little. Heehee.]

[cooloutfits]

W-What?!

[ Because it's a spider, dummy. Chicks don't like spiders. Well, Joltiks are adorable, but Galvatulas are a bit... too big. Compared to Joltiks, at least. ]

[heroineoftruth]

[You are the rudest rude to ever rude, girl!]

What're you up to? [She doesn't trust Plasma members as far as she can throw them - even if they're usually incompetent.]

[cooloutfits]

[ Hey, she was just stating the obvious there. ]

... Being interrogated by teenage girls, apparently.

[ Yep, incompetent is the word here. Even if it's totally definitely not true. ]

[heroineoftruth]

With good reason. Plasma's not usually up to anything good, despite N's ideals. [Well, she'd beat the grunt easy if she tried anything, so. Trying to be friendly now.] I really thought I beat you guys after I took out Ghetsis, too...
