A 4thFaller Event! - Gloriously Open!
It seems everything is peaceful in the four worlds at the time being. Things have calmed relatively down since the incident last month when Glomgold and his minions attacked Alola and Aether was lost to another world.
And then suddenly, the skies inverted. Going a brilliant violet color for a brief moment as the world’s colors turned inside out. There was a flash of familiarity from Ash as he looked up at the sound of a familiar cry as from the depths of the hole left behind where Aether once stood, a huge form erupted.
“What’s that?” asked Lana, leaning over the railing of the school as a massive form circled overhead.
“Giratina!” Exclaimed Ash, a pit opening up in his stomach at the sight of the legendary Pokemon. Not again…
With a massive roar, the legendary Pokemon slammed down into the courtyard of the school as students scattered and Pokemon tensed up for battle as the legendary roared. The air around it shimmered as the light of the Distortion World flashed around them as members of the assembled defense force that were stationed at the school’s portal summoned their Pokemon.
In a shimmering flash, I.Z.U. appeared next to the Ultra Guardians. “Warning,” she said, in her placid if slightly alarmed tone. “The presence of Giratina has severely compromised the structure of the dimensional fabric around Alola.”
“Meaning what?” asked Kiawe, tense and ready for battle as Giratina started pacing around in a circle.
“Giratina’s presence will cause people to slip through the boundaries of time and space at an alarming uncontrollable rate.” replied I.Z.U. “The chance of us controlling the rate of Falling is 0.0000001% until Giratina is returned to the Distortion World. Chances of Capture, are even less than that.”
“No way…” said Sophocles. “So what do we do now?”
“Hey guys?” said Mallow as Giratina started to hunker down like an oversized cat. “Is it me… or is Giratina…”
“About to take a nap…” finished Ash as Giratina started to sleep soundly in the courtyard, unconcerned with the Pokemon who were still tense up by its presence.
I.Z.U. tilted her head. “It seems it has gone into some sort of hibernation. Rotom-dex, please monitor it from here. I will return to the base and begin preparations to receive the new arrivals.” With that, she vanished.
Rotom sighed. “Sure, leave me to do all the hard work-roto.”
Ash rubbed his head with a sigh. “Well, I guess…? School’s still on! Even with a sleeping legendary Pokemon in our yard! But we should probably get a reception going for everyone who’s going to start appearing. Let’s go tell the town that more people are going to appear!”
With this in mind, the 4th wall has begun for the next two weeks! What brave fun will our visitors get up to today?
Welcome to the Fallers RP 4th Wall! Arriving in the game, you get to experience life in the Pokemon Anime Universe in an Alternate Spinoff of the Alola Region Arc, based on the Ultra Sun and Moon Video Game storyline. Come in, rest a little, relax. Have some malasada. Kick up your feet. We have lots to do.
Our Ground Rules as Follows:
1. Everyone gets a Pokemon for any battle happy moments. The only Pokemon who are not on the table are actual mythicals and legendaries unless said character has a in character reason to possess them in their own canon.
2. Remember this is a PG setting with PG setting rules
3. Visitors are allowed to make top levels in this post and the Friday Event post as well as post open threads for the duration of the 4th wall
4. Duplicates are certainly allowed
5. Please refrain from destroying in-game property, this setting doesn’t allow for instant rebuilding of locations.
6. Visitors may always join our Discord for chatting with the cast during this event. A link will be active for the duration of the event and you may ask an active player for a link at any time.
7. In game NPCs can be available for questions at any time but please keep in mind that the head mod is only one person and can only do so many tags at any given time. If you haven’t received a tag yet, it is because there is a queue.
8. And as always remember to be Excellent to One Another
Please Note that you may post to the community during this event until the 24th as if you are part of the comms! Be respectful of our community members!

It's a very quiet voice that asks that. Sena's known for being timid, but...isn't this something else entirely? He's clearly listened to everything Ash has said, but it looks like he's a little too overwhelmed to ask more than that.
At mentioning Cynthia, though, he ends up...withdrawing a little. Not physically, but his eyes clearly show a reluctance to follow up on that.
Gentle, huh. In the circumstances that they met...it'd make sense that he never really got to see that side of her.
no subject
Looking over at Sena, he added, "I've faced a lot of stuff. A lot of crazy people who wanted to purify the world and start over. A lot of bad people who wanted profit. Some people who literally just wanted to watch the world burn. I've even been called the Chosen One and saved it. Every. Time."
Looking over at Giratina, Ash said, "Maybe Giratina's just like me. Came to Alola... just to have a break. Have a vacation. Go to a place where everyone is ready to accept him for who he is. Not Ash the Chosen One, savior of the world, near-finalist in six different Pokemon Leagues, defeater and tamer of Legendary Pokemon, he who commanded Mega Rayquaza into Battle last year..." All the tension just flowed out of his shoulders.
"Just Ash. Just like Giratina just wants a nap in the hot Alolan sun. You know?"
no subject
The expression on Sena's face is...strange. Like he's actually sad to hear that. He understands why it happened, that it probably had to happen, but something about it bothers him. Greatly.
"And Jupiter and the others were...mmm. I...see."
It's probably not the expression Ash expects to see. But it's gone as soon as Ash starts speaking again, to one that's intently focused on every word, to one that's...understanding. He leans back a little as Ash finishes, holding Vee closer. The Jolteon doesn't seem to mind much, and doesn't even squirm or wiggle in his arms.
"...I can't say I have as much experience as you. It was just the one time. But maybe...I can understand a little, even if I'm not sure it's the same for me."
You...maybe because of you, there doesn't have to be two universes that suffered a tragic end. But to shoulder that burden, again and again...
Twenty of them barely pulled it off once, back then. He can't imagine how strong you'd have to be to keep coming back, to face it head on.
"I think...I can understand that."
no subject
Ash held up his hand and made a fist, raising it to the air. "That exhilaration of being alive and happy under the sun of Alola, it creates life and happy memories worth living. And I think that's why Giratina chose this spot, here, a place full of happiness to sleep his hours away."
"That's why I'm going to be sad when I finally leave this place, and go on another adventure to explore the world. There's still so much I want to see about this world, and I can't be cooped up here forever. Even if I am its regional Champion."
no subject
Sena tilts his head, clearly remembering something.
"Back when Hala had asked me a question for his trial, I told him...we fight for our own worlds. He never actually asked me what I meant by that. If he's connected to Tapu Koko then...he probably already understood what I wanted to say."
Unlike Ash looking up to the sky, clenching a fist in triumph, Sena's looking down, at Vee, scratching her belly. She coos a little happily, although in a much more subdued manner than usual.
"When you have something you want to surpass...it's your own world, just you, and that thing. Maybe it's a rival, or a goal that you want to achieve, but...that feeling, that rush..."
There's nothing like it. He's grateful for the world of american football that introduced him to it, and...
"I...didn't get introduced to Pokemon under the best circumstances. But I can't bring myself to regret it at all. This world...it has places like this for that kind of reason, doesn't it? That reminder that things aren't all bad. At its core..."
He finally looks up, staring forward at Giratina.
"The Pokemon World...it's pretty great, isn't it?"
no subject
Ash smiled. "Take time to take it all in. It's great."
no subject
Because soon enough, he'll have to go chasing after Glomgold again, and then after any possible lead that can let everyone go back home.
"Thanks..."
