a reason to fight - open

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

After the massive fight several days ago, Sena's started to think that maybe now is a good time to pursue some ideas that he's had ever since talking to Ash way back when he first arrived. It's starting to be clear that he's not going to be sent back home anytime soon, and standing around just spinning his wheels isn't something he's used to. Maybe if he had still been in middle school, then perhaps it'd be easier for him to do so...but he's in college, he's spent over three years chasing dreams and he's not ready to slow down just yet. 

So he'd approached Hala about taking the Grand Trials. It was easy to do so, since he'd been living with him and Hau for his stint in Alola, and it was broached almost casually over breakfast. Hala's test for him was a seemingly simple question.

Sena was pretty sure he had an answer ready, it was a question he'd had to ask himself a few times back in his earlier years of playing football. But Hala had wanted him to take a day to really think it over, to ask both himself and others...and after all, the way that question was phrased, it clearly wasn't something aimed at just Sena alone. This was more than just something personal.

So Sena can be seen both asking people around Hala's dojo in the morning, or around the rest of Melemele in the late afternoon and evening, seeming a little awkward when he stops someone to talk.

"Er, sorry to bother you, but I have a question I'm kind of surveying answers for..."

(His RotomDex behind him is looking very attentive, her antenna wiggling curiously as if she's recording answers in some sort of database, which...she probably is, actually. Very helpful of her.)

"I was just wondering, er...why do you fight? Uh..." 

He seems to realize it doesn't sound very specific of a question.

"It...uh, doesn't have to be about actual fighting or Pokemon Battling, if that isn't what you do or anything, but in a more, uh...general way? Like, why do you do what you do?"

It sounded like such a deep question when Hala said it over the breakfast table this morning. Out of Sena's mouth, it just sounds kinda silly. Oops.

Sudden Accidental Arrival!

Fallers are all the rage, it seems, with more and more showing up! However it seems that there’s one unintentional arrival. Out by one of the beaches, a strange aircraft comes to a halt as it skids across the ocean. After awhile, a pink-haired young woman pokes her head out of the aircraft and looked around.

“Uh, sorry about that!” She called out. “I took a wrong turn and ended up here! My fault! Give me a moment to figure out my bearings and I’ll be on my way!”

With that, she pulled out a ragged map. “I think I made a wrong turn somewhere...”

ATT: Fallers - Video/Action

While repairs on the Warehouse and Museum has continued quite well, new information has come to light.

A theft has been made by a unknown person, presumably in cohorts with Team Rainbow Rocket of a Crystal capable of transferring a large vessel between worlds. The culprit has been described as a "young woman with violet hair" and was "capable of walking with them". There was also a "spherical mecha named Emily" with them.

Details on the theft may be forwarded to @ Nozomi Yumehara and @ Aether Foundation and @ JennyPolice. Please let us know if you sight this woman or the mecha named Emily anywhere on the islands or have any information.

Thank you.

Lusamine sighed and hung up, as she clicked a button. "Cancel my appointments. Of all the situations, why did I become the spokesperson for all of this?"

Wicke smiled calmly. "It's because you're the Commander, and you're a horrible completionist?"

"Wicke..." warned Lusamine, but there was a tiredness to her growl. "Come in!"

Anyone could be at the door to talk to her right now. Any person, at all.
