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!]

[Contrary to Tallie, Archie does remember dying, but that's not something he's going to bring up even if asked. Nope, that totally didn't happen! That version of Maxie he was bonding with totally didn't kill him!]

[But that's neither here nor there, and Archie isn't dwelling on it. He's here now, right? So even if this is some sort of afterlife, it's better than being dead, right?]

[The sudden Castform from nowhere prompts Sharpedo to leap between the trainer and the offending Pokémon, using Protect to shield his trainer from an attack. Except... the Castform wasn't attacking and the Protect failed. Archie is a little startled by just how quick the shark reacted - it's been awhile since they've battled like this, hasn't it? Besides, no one would throw a Pokémon at him in an attempt to attack him here, right? That's only something that particular version of Maxie would do...]

[Again, he's not going to dwell on it.]

Hey, watch where you're goin', little guy.

[Archie's tone is light though, and he absently pets Sharpedo again to calm the Pokémon down.]
