Sudden Accidental Arrival!

[cureofmanyworlds]

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...”

"Koo." Bewear patted Nozomi on the head like a mother would, as if to say 'That's okay, we'll get them next time'.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi can’t help but giggle at that. “Thanks, I needed that!” She said, reaching over and hugging the powerhouse

[fallers_npcs]

"Kee!" Have a hug Nozomi. OOF.

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Ack..! That’s... that’s a lot of love...!” Nozomi said. Too much power, she can feel her transformation trying to undo itself from the sheer might!

[fallers_npcs]

Fortunately before she pops, Bewear lets go and let's Nozomi take the ship into port where immigration would be waiting for her.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi’s thankful for the release, but now that she’s on shore, she’s kinda hoping she’s not in trouble now.

Nozomi doesn't have long to wait, as a helicopter arrives with a woman and two others, Faba and Wicke. Lusamine steps out of the copter, brushing a lock of hair away from her face as she wore a tired, but warm smile.

"Alola, welcome to, well, the Alola Region. We saw your approach from the Aether Foundation and saw you were coming into Melemele Port so we rushed over. I'm President Lusamine, of the Aether Foundation. This is Wicke and Faba. I hope your trip through the worlds wasn't troublesome."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Alola... I knew it! Ah, Nozomi Yumehara, too many titles to count!” Nozomi said, pumping her fist. However, at Lusamine’s comment, she shook her head. “Honestly, the trip wasn’t that bad - I just took a wrong turn! However, someone stole my ship’s power source, so now I’m stranded.”

[bestmomever]

"A world traveler then. That factors in another outside trouble." said Lusamine, frowning. "We registered a spike in Ultra Hole energy coming in from the outside but it read after your ship arrived here."

"You said your ships power source was stolen?" asked Wicke. "By who?"

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Ah, a girl with purple hair she walked with.” Nozomi said. “Came through those portals, too.”

[bestmomever]

"The description doesn't ring a bell, but I will pass it onto the Fallers to see if there is anyone who has matched the description." said Lusamine.

Her expression softening, she said, "You must be tired from your trip. I'm sorry we can't get you moving again, so for now, we'll make due to let you stay here free of charge."

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi’s own expression softened herself. “Thank you, Lusamine. That’s so kind of you. Though, I can’t let that courtesy go unpaid. I have a few things I can give to help out. Maybe.”

[bestmomever]

"I'm sure something can be arranged." said Lusamine, smiling. "We'll get you checked in with the harbor patrol and get your ship registered to dock here."

Turning to Wicke, she asked, "Wicke, is there anyone who can put Nozomi up so she doesn't have to spend whatever she has for a rental?"

"Yes, looks like Lana is available. I'll call her mother and ask if she's willing to take in another boarder." replied Wicke.

"Good. We'll get you some papers so you can find some work here in Alola, Nozomi." said Lusamine, turning back to her. "This is a normal step for people we call Fallers. Those are people who come through Ultra Holes."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“‘Fallers’, huh? At least it’s a tamer title.” Nozomi said. “Sorry, the last world I went to claimed I was a Hero of Light. That didn’t turn out so well.” She chuckled a bit. “At least I have somewhere to stay, though.”

An idea came to her mind though.

“Does Alola have a Pokémon League? My own world hopping kinda halted my Unova run and my sis never told me if Alola did or not.”

[bestmomever]

"It's short for 'People Who Have Fallen through Ultra Holes'," replied Wicke with a sheepish smile and Lusamine giggled.

"We have a group called the Ultra Guardians, who are meant to defend against the Ultra Beasts who have come through automatically hostile. Their job is primarily to capture and send them back through the Ultra Holes before any major damage is done." added Lusamine. "If you're capable of working with Pokemon, then we can definitely use the help."

"We have a league," said Faba, looking up from his scan of Nozomi's ship. "The Alola League will be in it's 2nd year come next Summer. We'll be hosting the Tournament and I hope everyone can join in." He grinned. "I'm competing again for an actual shot at Royal Mask again!"

[cureofmanyworlds]

“I’m a little rusty on Training, but I can certainly help out!” Nozomi said. “I can also—“

She stopped as she remembered Bewear’s warnings.

“—ah, that’s too much.” She sighed before she went to offer Lusamine her iMog and CureMo. “If there are other Trainers here, being able to use my Jobs or transforming would be too unfair...”

[bestmomever]

"Only in rare times, would you need to use extra powers," remarked Lusamine. "In regular Pokemon battles, it would be completely disallowed. But for attacks from Team Rainbow Rocket and OPS with Ultra Guardians? We would allow it."

"We'd need to get a baseline scan to help coordinate, if you're willing." said Wicke. "So we know what we're looking at."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Oh, of course!” Nozomi said, nodding at Wicke. “I wouldn’t mind at all! I still need to do something for all your help, though...!”

[bestmomever]

"Knowing that you have a way to move between worlds? This is a start." said Lusamine. "Let's get you up to speed on the situation, with Team Rainbow Rocket and our situation. With you and your ship, we might just actually start getting off the back foot now."

She smiled. "C'mon, let's buy you lunch while we talk. Wicke, can you make the harbor master arrangements in the meantime?"

"Of course, Faba and I will be working on that."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Good idea. I’m quite hungry, actually!” Nozomi said, following Lusamine. “I’m sure there’s a lot to go through, huh?”

[bestmomever]

"Just a little paperwork. A form really, and then we'll get your ID while you're here in Alola. How do you feel about school while you're here as well? There's adult classes if you're interested attending those to catch up on anything. You said you've been to Unova correct?" said Lusamine as they started walking towards Mallow's restaurant.

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Oh, wow, adult classes? Heh, haven’t been to school since I was stuck in Mayfield.” Nozomi said. “It shouldn’t hurt, so I guess I can catch up there! And yes, I have. Even if it’s for a bit.”

[bestmomever]

"Sounds like you've got quite an adventure behind yourself then." said Lusamine as they arrived at Mallow's restaurant. She opened the door, letting Nozomi inside as Abe waved at them.

"Two please Abe. Nozomi this is Abe, Mallow's father. They're good friends of mine."

Abe smiled and said, "New Faller?"

"Technically. Give us your special Abe, I think our new guest might be a big eater." Lusamine gestured to a window seat and said, "Go ahead."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Ahaha, not that big!” Nozomi said, laughing as she took the seat. “I must say, I... kinda feel honored by you doing this. Not a lot of people show this level of kindness to strangers.”

[bestmomever]

"I'm just glad to be out of the office to be honest." admitted Lusamine tiredly with a little smile. "It's been maniac lately, and I could use the break. But more to the point, I'm very happy to help."
