fallers_rpg | 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!

"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."

"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~!"

"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...

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.

"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- !

"Not a problem, if you need any help, just ask away." said Olivia. "C'mon Lycanroc, let's get to our exercise training."
