Episode 9: Welcome to the World of Pokemon -- Again! The Galar Trip!

[fallers_npcs]

Welcome to the Galar Region everyone!

After a long trip, you've all arrived, rested up and now are touring the countryside before heading to Wyndon. Along the way, you and your classmates get to experience the gentleness of the city before heading to the biggest city of the nation.

Some stops are along the way as follows.





First stop is the big and majestic Wild Area around Motostoke and Hammerlocke. This rich, lush area is full of natural beauty, and is a haven for Pokemon. Trains, trainers and Pokemon all travel through this landscape, as you can see dens lit up across the landscape. Your tour guide will inform you that these Dens are full of Dynamax Pokemon, and can be battled and caught if you wish to test your mettle.

There are Pokemon of all kinds, not quite all of the Pokemon you might find in other regions but Pokemon are migrating in and out of Galar at all times with unique and bizzare forms.




Incredible looking Stow-on-Side is another stop where the trains run, yes, trains run to Stow-on-Side, not EVERYONE walks here, silly! and Here, you can find the historical murals of the landscape, the Fighting Gym run by Bea (when it's not swapped out with Allister every other half a year but this time it's Bea's turn), and maybe if you're plucky enough, Bea will let you challenge her gym. Who knows, she might accept.



Hullbury Gym is in the opposite direction and we'll be taking the Train there as well, or you could rent a bike and hoof it across the bridge, it's up to you. Or a Corviknight Taxi. Either way, we'll be setting out from Hammerlocke in the middle of the week to visit Nessa.


In the middle of the week, we will arrive at our destination. The beautiful city of Wyndon.



Wyndon is a bustling metropolis where some peculiar going-ons have been taking place. While it shouldn't bother you at the moment, Chairman Rose himself has come to meet you and the students with a genuine smile on his face along with his placid secretary, and none other than Champion Leon.

All are very enthusiastic to meet the students, and some of the Fallers who have decided to come on the trip, including the chaperones.

In all, you've been put up at the swankiest hotel thanks to the Chairman's goodwill, and have fun experiencing the life of Wyndon for the next ten days!

This is where the real Mystery Begins, as reports of strange red light has been affecting citizen's Pokemon, and Dynamaxing them once in a while...

Dio gawks, enough to even put his book down, wow!!

"You just said you didn't like the first one! I saw it plain on your face! I don't need to prove anything!"

[soft_focus]

"You said it tastes like dog treats."

A blink, and she puts it back in the bag while throwing out the licked one.

"'Ve never tasted a dog treat. Have you?"

OH!!! NO!

[notpiercings]

In and out, Dio. Just one big breath in and out. It's fine.

"No, but I've seen other people do it," and he really has to hold himself back from spitting 'blue-haired idiots' instead of just 'people' because that's much less a jab at Reira and much more at Someone Who Shall Not Be Named, "and that was their reaction. It makes sense to assume that they wouldn't taste good to people. Pokémon are likely no different."

[soft_focus]

"Oh." Well at least she's not argu-

"I've never seen a dog. They must like to eat really bad things then."

wh

[notpiercings]

"I-- you what?"

Never mind that dogs are hardly worth the time or effort, slobbering suck-ups that they are. They're one of the most common animals to be found in cities and homes; how could someone never see one?

"You're not really wrong here, but really? You've never seen one?" He pauses for a moment with a frown only to stick his nose back in his book.

"Don't bother. All they do is whine and beg."

[soft_focus]

"Just duel monster dogs. I don't think they're the same. Some are robots." Definitely not, and she blinks. "...I don't think animals liked where I used to live. It sounds like dogs are scared a lot though if they whine. That or sad."

Well, probably but.

[notpiercings]

Yeah... definitely not the same, then. He just stares for a moment before ultimately shaking his head and attempting to shrug it off. This kid is really weird...

Enough about dogs. They're annoying and he doesn't like them, so he doesn't want to keep talking about them. "How long have you had that other egg?" he asks.

[soft_focus]

Good news about Reira.

She can (literally) read the room. And the fact is, Dio has an...edge to his heart. Something that makes her not want to push.

So she holds her new egg and blinks at it.

"... Its mom gave me it, after we left the Wild Area. I don't know why. I didn't ask for it."

[notpiercings]

"Oh yeah, you were palling around with those things..." Zigzagoon and Linoone, he thinks? "I guess they like you. Want one of their kids to travel abroad or something. Unless they were just dumping it on you."

[soft_focus]

"I don't think so. They felt happy when they gave me it...the kind of happy that people have when someone does a thing really well."

Pride. She's describing pri-

wait what

[notpiercings]

Dio blinks slowly. So it was a? reward?? Why would you give up your kid to some other kid as a prize. He doesn't understand.

Whatever.

"...weird. As long as you're happy I guess." Not that he cares.
