Island Visits! - Akala Island Tour



Welcome to Akala Island!


It's here that the Fallers have been asked to come along on the boat ride to visit the site of Wela Volcano, on behest of Olivia, the Island Queen. It's here you will be given a tour of the area, and allowed to stay at the Pokemon Center for a week while visiting the area, before heading back to Melemele Island.

It's to both familiarize yourself with the Island, and get to know the Locals, as well as perhaps spend some quality time with the people and places of the landscape. Also, participation in the local Fire Festival has also been announced, to see what kind of ceremony the locals have to honor the traditions of Alola.



WELA SHRINE

It is here that you will visit the site on the first day. Even with or without your Pokemon, this place radiates a serene, sacred harmony. You, as Fallers, are here in the Off-Season, and thus, there are no people around except for you and the three Hikers who are milling about who might have answers for you if you ask further. Olivia is tending to the shrine, giving thanks to the volcano for it's life-giving nature. It is a serene, sacred moment. There's a buzzing feel of anticipation, as people have already begun to visit the site.




FARMLANDS

Many farmlands dot the landscape and one of these belongs to Rango and Sima, their son Kiawe who participated in the Pokemon League last year. They run a Farm which you, as Fallers, are allowed to work at, and live at if you so desire. Taking care of Pokemon, feeding them, shipping milk and other farm-fresh products out of the farm every day is hard but rewarding labor. And you will be paid well, given a place to live, and there is soft serve ice cream on the regular.





PIKACHU VALLEY

The last stop on the list for the middle of the week, is a surprise! At the middle of the week before the real event begins, Kiawe has arranged a visit from a woman named Pikala who brings the Fallers to a place called Pikachu Valley! A place of fun and excitement, there are literally hundreds of Pikachu everywhere.

Some of these Pikachu are up for adoption to people who wish to have a partner, and many of them are very prideful and willful as the Pikachu nature is apparent, but they are friends for life no matter the cost. And Pikala has names for each and every one of them!





FIRE FESTIVAL



What you might believe is a actual festival, is more of a feeling of burning anticipation. Hundreds of people are gathered at the Shrine, as Olivia stands at the front of the Shrine, a ancient looking crown sitting on the Shrine's head. Here, she spreads her arms.

"People of Alola, and those who come from afar! Thank you all for coming! Today, we give thanks to Wela, the life giving power. May its blessing keep us forevermore from being overcome by the raging inferno of Fire. Remember its power, and its strength."

For a moment, there's reverent silence before everyone begins to start milling up the island path, Pokemon out. There's so many Pokemon, not just Fire Pokemon, but Pokemon of all kinds.

Kiawe explains as he and his Charizard stands in line. "The Crown is placed upon the head of the Pokemon who receives it, and it boosts the power of the Pokemon who wears it for the year. Not only that, but it blesses the Pokemon with the protection of Wela. Wela is the live giving source of power of our land. Without it, Akala Island wouldn't be as fertile and nourishing to Alola as it would be. It's a sacred, humble power that we live under, for at any given moment, Wela could take everything from us in an instant."

Kiawe smiled. "That is why, we need to respect it, and never over-industrialize the landscape. Otherwise, Wela will become angry, and destroy the land in raging lava."

Many more Questions about Akala can be asked about this land, and soon, it's the Fallers turn to be blessed by Olivia, one by one.


When the Week Ends

The Boat Ride back to Melemele is an interesting one. You have time to discuss what you've seen. Perhaps new Pokemon friends you've obtained or met. One thing is for certain, there's a new viewpoint on the land you've just walked in. The power of Wela, the Pikachu's who live in the world. The new Fire Pokemon who you have just encountered. All this and more.

All this and more, as the Journey Continues!

To Be Continued!

COME AT ME OLIVA

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
One week. That sounds like a good time! One week of touring, and taking in the sights...

While on Mele Mele, it did not take Yuume long to be pointed toward Kahuna Hala to ask about a good place to continue her workout. Much as she needed to keep up the training with her shadow-state, she can't well give up the physical work either.

So she's trying to figure out...well. Where to do that for the week. At the moment it looks like she's about to ask the Nurse Joy- her audino however, is tugging at her sleeve and pointing to someone who looks Far More Likely to know where to have a good workout!
fallers_npcs: (olivia1)

She has come!

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
One could find Olivia that day as she came into the Pokemon Center, with a bright and chipper, "Alola!"

Just the person that Yuume needed to see after all. She was bright and early, with her Lycanroc following behind her, as she placed down an order of delicate looking bracelets. "Here you go Joy. Oh, are you the person that was asking to see me? I'm Olivia."

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Eh-" Oh! Well, she might not have necessarily realized it was Olivia specifically she needed to talk to- but if anyone will know it's the Kahuna right? While Audino gives a small, calm wave, Yuume gives a nodding bow herself. "Ah...if it was about a good exercise ground, that would be me..."

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah yes, well there's a good place actually up on the mountain where I work out. If you want to come along, then I'm going for my morning jog," said Olivia. "Care to join me? I'll show you the place."
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"That would be wonderful, thank you!" She paused to look to Audino. "You can come too, neh? Let me know if you get tired, I can let you back into your pokeball."

"Auudinooo~"

At any rate. "Ah...If I could get into my workout clothing first though, that might be best; it won't take me long."
fallers_npcs: (olivia1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure, take your time. I work out in pretty much anything to be honest." said Olivia with a cheerful smile.

She took a moment to greet some of the locals, Ash, who was passing by and was glad to see her, as Yuume went to change.

"Thank you..! I just want to make sure I don't ruin anything..." Especially not a knit poncho. That's going to snag on plenty.

But, soon enough she'll be back, dressed more like one of those 'battle girls' from Hoenn.

"Alright- let's go~!"
fallers_npcs: (olivia1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"All right, let's get going then." Olivia turns -- and trips on the floor, crashing to the ground.

"I'm all right!" She exclaims after a moment. "This is normal, all normal!"

Getting up, she grins. "Just all according to plan!"

"AH-!!" Oh geeze!! Her hand's already reaching out, but apparently...Olivia is fine??

"O-Olivia..." YIKES... "R...Alright then...!"

O- Off they go...

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
After a good twenty minute jog, they're up the mountain to a nice little area, where it seems to be set up for working out. Both humans and Pokemon alike. There's large rocks, a workout set for actual exercises, and a gym-like set up with strengthening things here and there. "Make yourself at home," said Olivia, doffing her shawl.
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Hohhh..." It's a good little jog- Audino makes it the whole way, though she's resting for now. But large rocks, workout sets...

"It's perfect..! Thank you so much, Olivia..!"

She'll get to her routine right away- !
fallers_npcs: (olivia1)

[personal profile] fallers_npcs 2019-08-02 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not a problem, if you need any help, just ask away." said Olivia. "C'mon Lycanroc, let's get to our exercise training."

OTA | Olivia's Training Yard

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yuume is not wearing her usual, up here in Olivia's training yard. Normally she's dressed rather conservatively considering it's a tropical island. Something knit and mesh over a tank top, along with some longer- but certainly lighter given the hot weather- pants.

Right now, she looks more like those Battle Girls, albeit in pastel blue and yellow.

"H-hhhhh-HAH!" And for good reason.

The yard is perfect; warm-up has already been done, so Yuume is easily able to slip into her usual routine. There's some weight lifting, which at one point involves her getting curious enough to try how Olivia herself does it- and results in her hauling a boulder up herself. There's also however, her katas. Yuume's job includes fighting. Fighting doesn't always leave room for a sword. Sometimes you're disarmed- and sometimes, your body is all you have for the fight.

"HUH-! HR-HAHH!"

So she's punching. Kicking. And every now and then, provided she's actually allowed to strike this one...

"HAUH!"

Obviously the rock doesn't break, but there's definitely a bit of cracking there!! (Intense!)

Kaiba has spent the morning wandering the trails, Goomy still gliding at his side...but there's now the addition of a floppy-eared Pikachu with a heart shaped tail on his shoulder.

They're walking peacefully when they hear the shouts. That voice---he reaches down to scoop Goomy up, makes a sharp turn, and runs for it, racing around the corner prepared to do something when he sees that no one's in any real danger.

He flips his hair back and stares at his great grand-whatever.

"...oh. Right. Training."
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huuuuuuu..." One slow, breath out, and-

Ah, that was a voice. "Mnh?" Yuume turns, batting a bit of hair from her eyes. "Ah- Seto?" Well, now is as good a time as any for a break. While she goes to get a waterbottle from the side, Audino will move to greet the group herself- waving at the pikachu on the teen's shoulder, and at Kaiba himself. "Were you looking for Olivia, perhaps? This is her training yard, so..."

No he had a shonen moment
blue_ice: (defective water bottle)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-08-02 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaiba pauses to catch his breath, gently setting Goomy down on the grass where she promptly slithers up to Audino. Kisara stays where she is, and Kaiba tilts his head slightly.

"No. I heard shouting. I thought someone was causing you trouble."

He looks around at the damage to the yard. "Detective work is that dangerous."
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's...a little bit complicated," Yuume laughs, rubbing the back of her head. "Combat is something I've practiced for good reason though, I assure you of that. Ah..."

There's a bit of a cough. "...I...am sorry about the shouting though; the area seemed fairly secluded..."

It is, shhh.
blue_ice: (floof)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-08-02 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's fine. You're obviously working hard."

He totally wasn't panicking or anything, no sir. He sits next to Goomy in the grass, wiping his brow with a handkerchief.

"I've only dabbled, but you have excellent form."
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh...Thank you," she happily replies. "I don't often have anyone other than coworkers watching, so it actually means a fair bit to hear that...the people you work with can be more critical when they're trying to help, so an open compliment is nice. When you say 'dabbled' though..."

The woman blinks, crossing her arms. "...What sort of exercise do you 'dabble' in, then?"
blue_ice: (brooding)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-08-02 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Heh. I'm not usually known for my compliments."

Kaiba hums to himself and sheds his outer shirt, leaving him in a white tank and zip-offs. He's tragically fashion impaired, but it's getting a little hot here.

"I was frequently targeted by traitors among the shareholders, and others who sought to take me out for a shot at riches. I've also trained myself for interstellar travel."

There's a flicker of doubt on his face as he mentions that, but he shakes it off. "Do you train with weapons as well?"
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-02 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuume nods in understanding- it makes sense after all, that self-defense would be a necessary point of focus. Weapons though...

"Ahhh...just a sword," she chuckles. "Technically it's kendo, but I could fight with a much larger blade if I wanted!" Necessary is probably not the word to use about swords after all. "Interstellar travel though... ...AH-" Understanding clicks in. "...Because of early-dimensional travel, right? The subways are so safe and common now that even children can ride them, so it's hard to remember it began that way sometimes..."
blue_ice: (defective water bottle)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-08-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure you could."

Kaiba's not being even the slightest bit sarcastic here. Honest. He's faintly impressed, actually.

"Mm. Pioneers have the roughest go of it, and things can so easily go wrong. Sacrifices, sometimes unintentional..."

There's a lot to unpack there. His gaze becomes distant for a moment before he shakes his head. He hesitates for a moment, wondering before just coming out with it.

"Is that why you rejected the Kaiba name?"
shadowslipping: (Sigh)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-08-03 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"That..." That throws her off. The shock is clear on her face, as is the desperate attempt to not give away something else as she looks away. "...Were that the case, I'm sure many others would have, you know; KaibaCorp is if anything a company that 'saved' the world...making the rail, improving the duel system... ....my cousin- rather, second cousin, I suppose... ...he runs the company impressively, but he is still known as 'Kaiba'."

But there is something more there. "...Beyond that, it was a decision I made almost ten years ago, like I said..."
blue_ice: (hot in here)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-08-03 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Kaiba's not sure he can entirely believe her, but he looks somewhat placated.

"I wouldn't blame you if that was the case. There are plenty of black marks on our family history, and I..."

am one of them. He balls his fists. It's all he can do to keep his worst fears from consuming him. It's not too late to change...it can't be too late.

"Yet you kept the slightest connection to our dragon."
