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!]

Hopefully not. Someone's got to stop N.

[Hi, Cheren! Hopefully you were expecting someone to come bother you; Black certainly doesn't have any issues approaching! Hey, you normally show up and bother him when he's in the middle of training, so he doesn't see any reason to leave you alone.]

I guess you don't know how to get back either.

[Black folds his arms behind his head, glancing at the Serperior warily. He doesn't know anything about doubles or alternate versions of people here; but the Cheren he knows has a Serperior as well. As far as he's concerned, you're the Cheren he knows.]

[He is perfectly okay with this, actually. People to bounce ideas off--or just talk at, either way--are always good, especially when they're people he knows. Or well, knows a version of, either way. Not that he's familiar with the potential for alternates yet, though.]

I've yet to figure that part out, unfortunately.

[Were they back home, he would likely have challenged Black to a battle, but here, other things were more important at the moment. Especially that first thing Black said. As far as Cheren remembers, they had dealt with Team Plasma and all that quite some time ago.

Serperior, meanwhile, will just return that glance. It's what he does, okay. He certainly recognizes Black (in the sense that he looks familiar), but Serperior isn't the most exuberant, friendly Pokemon there is.]

What do you mean someone has to stop N, though? Where have you been for the last few weeks?

[devoid]

[Black glances at Cheren, uncomprehending.]

What do you mean? I just defeated the Elite Four. N beat the Champion and summoned a castle from the ground.

[It's not possible that someone else took care of N - he didn't leave to go train or anything.]
