We'll make our way counter-clockwise around here, makes it easier to restock on anything we might need.

C'mon then, go grab Walter so we can get flying to the cave.

[asktheisle]

For those who want to plan out an ask for these next few locations, the order of visiting will beeee:

Dragon Cave

Isla Axo

Ash Cave

Tidal Ruins

Shrine of the Moon and Sea

Monte Braiex

[asktheisle]

We won't be able to hit everything in one go-I don't think we have enough power to carry that much supplies on us like that. But we can a least drop by on some areas we've neglected a bit-save for the Dragon Cave, I know you would want to go there anyway.

((info under the cut!))

A thinly veiled attempt to do more background work if I'm being honest LOL

Basically: little island hop around that showcases some areas that haven't been poked at! There's a good chance that these areas may feature a new character or a look into existing ones that have appeared, so take this as a moment of getting a little peek into things that may come up down the line.

Asks can proceed as normal, but if you want to send one in specific while the group is in a certain area let me know! I'll post the results on this coming sunday for those who want to plan accordingly.

There's two options as to how to go about this-a poll that decides the top two areas in which locations will be picked randomly, and/or putting a reply with your top four locations you'd want to explore.

The options that are highlighted (for those who have difficulty reading-apologies on my part)

Blue/Reyes: Tidal Ruins, Shrine of the Moon and Sea, Monte Braiex, Dragon Cave, Isla Axo Red/Montes: Ash Cave, Tema River, Montex, Mar de Sur Green/Fuentes: Temporal Rainforest, Rio Vivo Yellow/Vasquez: Bare Plains, Thunder Cape White: Island Center

So!

So!

Later On...

I'm also taking it as a chance to scout things a little bit, get some ideas for when we have to deal with that morcilla of a dragon.

Oh, yeah, humans have a way with food for sure.

[The dragon's lower body sways slightly as her tail wags to the thought of it-she had her fair share of stealing after all.]

Thank you!! My trainer calls it my star, I guess because it looks so much like one. It's a way to tell if different ones of us are related, apparently.

( @asktheisle ) Draco blinks a few times-she wasn't imaging the Mew, that was certainly one right in front of her. The Garchomp makes as much effort possible to appear harmless in hopes of not scaring Kahurangi. "I've only heard of Mew existing before, but I've never seen one until now. I've heard they're usually pink, so I have to guess that you might be shiny? Is that why you're here in this sanctuary? I know shinies have a harder time out in the wild-at least that's what's said."

"Oh, hello. Yeah I guess mews are pretty rare." Kahurangi chuckled. "While many mews in other worlds are pink and only blue as shinies, mews here can be any color. Like red, green, blue… yellow."

"Well, even ignoring my colors it's true that it can be hard for mew's to be out on their own. So, that's definitely a perk of this place. Not to mention, some human food is delicious!" She laughs.

"By the way, I don't think I've ever seen a garchomp with such a large yellow mark on their snout. It's really unique and cool." She said excitedly, her hands/paws clasped together and her tail wagging in excitement.

[asktheisle]

"..." Omen stares at Xoloet intently, his tail a flickering flame. They don't say anything to the other pokemon but seem interested in their appearance.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Eir says to Xoloet. "I'm surprised Omen is even showing themself. They must be interested in you though!"

"He usually talks with me via telepathy," she adds. If he's not ignoring me. "I think it's something to do with our bond. On the rare occasion that he talks, it's usually to say something really important!"

"I don't think it has anything to do with privacy though...we're almost always together anyway so it works out. Omen's definitely not that outgoing, hehe!"

What's the Torchic story?

There was a time where we had a lot of pokemon on our land in Alola. My dad liked to raise Torchic, so of course we had a bunch of them in particular.

Nat'a and the family came over one time-they were still living in Unova at the time-and he'd help me out with some of the tasks. One of such was feeding the Torchic.

Of course, the little guys are food motivated. The moment they see any bit of food they're trying to find the source. So there's Nat'a, some 3 feet tall standing among them. A normal person would drop the feed if they got spooked and let them have it, yeah?

Not him. No, he started running with a death grip on the feed, a little bit falling out of his hands while he was boltin' out of there. So one gave chase, then three, then ten. Probably had the whole bunch of them on his tail.

Carries the fear of Arceus in him since then.

Nat: I'M NOT THAT SCARED--

Ambra: If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly did you get from the magi?

[Despite how casually he said this, it was clearly genuine and the truth.]

I don't ask for much, if anything from them truthfully. Every year they give me the same-a bit of time with them before the sun comes up entirely.

It's more than enough for me.

(( response to here ))

[Despite the height difference, the gentleness in the gesture was what caused Nat to grin into taking the Lugia's wing into his hand. It was almost comical, but there was a genuine joy that came from the tiny human.]

A pink island... sounds like something we'll have to check out. There's a lot of little cays along the coast here, so we make it a pasttime to go sailing to them!

[Nat didn't say anything directly, but he tried to make it known that Mariko needn't apologize for rambling-he spent most of the time nodding his head to engage.]

My cousins were the real stars, I admit. They wanted me to hang back a bit and take it easy this time. The others have gone back to their home regions, but Gabe is really the one who brought it all together.

[He nods his head to the taller of the two a bit further down the shore, occupied with opening a few coconuts that he had knocked down.]

He's the planner of all of us, makes everything go 'round.

[ask-impatient-samurott] Kappa@Oscar "You've been dreaming about a Samurott? Like me?" She mused, intrigued. "You got any theories as to who they might be or why they've shown up in your head?" Kappa couldn't pin any scent coming from Oscar's body specifically, but she could pick up on the faint smell of Sitrus berries.

I'm some 8 centuries old now, I had met him... just before my second century? I was no older than 300.

He had saved me when I found myself surrounded by Sharpedo, off the coast of Ula Ula. I was closed off back then, aggressive and not wanting to be burdened by company. He stayed despite it all, he knew I needed it. Saved me in more ways than one I would say.

We were rowdy in those days, island hopping and getting into trouble! For the longest time he was the only individual I trusted.

He had his own dreams, of course. In our time traveling together and meeting others, he came to want to travel the world by sea-lead a crew of sorts. It was in that time I felt that I should find where the humans I had known went off to, as we all left Alola together.

Gaspar always said he'd find his way back to me, and if I'm to see him in my dreams, well...

[The old 'rai has a wistful expression, but he remains smiling nonetheless.]

Time no longer separates us, that much is true.
