Finding the place hadn't been easy. Guzma had been reluctant to tell Sena or Adora anything about it, and they couldn't go to Lusamine to ask, what with Overwatch keeping tabs on her. But Kukui, on the other hand, had been surprisingly forthcoming, although all he'd given them was a vague hint about a hidden door somewhere in the new Stadium. 

That had been enough. Searching around the base had netted them a secret door at the seemingly empty end of a hallway, and taking it leads to an elevator down into the depths of the stadium. And that led them to another door...one completely locked up with no visible keypad or lock. The only thing there is an odd camera-like device, and a speaker...the light above it a bright red. They're stumped.

"How're we supposed to get in? Did Lusamine give you some kinda secret key or something?"

"Eh?! W-W-Why would she give me anything like th-"

As if responding to his voice, the light suddenly flashes green, and a neutral female voice sounds through the speaker.

"Ultra Rider Zero-One, confirmed."

"...Eh?"

The door unlocks and allows Sena to pull it open, revealing a room very similar to the secret lab that Lusamine had shown Sena some time prior, equipped with multiple buckles and other equipment for additional Ultra Riders. Before Sena and Adora can step inside to get a better look, however, a hologram boots up in front of them. It's a young female with bob-cut hair, dressed in a white and green suit dress over black. She speaks in the same neutral voice from before, making it evident that she's related to whatever computer system just recognized Sena as the first Ultra Rider.

"Greetings, Ultra Rider Zero-One. I have been awaiting your-"

SLAM.
...
...
...

"...Sena, why'd you shut the door?"

"...No, I was just surprised..."

[meeting]

So, Sena totally missed the Christmas festivities. He's been gone since the Galar trip, sent on a mission for Lusamine in the Orre region and...well, it certainly was a trip. He's actually got all of his Pokemon (except for Monta) in their Pokeballs for once, if only so he doesn't flood Lusamine's office with his absurdly lively team. 

Except...wait, doesn't he have one too many Pokeballs attached to his waist...? Isn't that a Beast Ball? 

Yeah, he's got quite the report to deliver, it seems.

"Er, I'm not sure where to start, actually..."

he's not very good at this report thing


[beach] 

"N-no! Nonononononono you don't need to fight it there isn't an emergency pleasedontcalltheultraguardiansitsundercontrol-"

Sena just wanted to relax on the beach with his team, get them used to the new party member he acquired while overseas. Except maybe he didn't think things through, and maybe releasing an actual Pheromosa on the beach without warning isn't the best of ideas. Especially given the locals' last encounter with one...

"I'm sorreeee, it's not a problem I swear it's not gonna cause any problems - steal what??? No, it's not gonna steal those - !"

The Pheromosa itself seems very well-behaved - it's just standing there, blankly. For now, at least. Monta seems itching to start a fight with it.

Sena isn't a stranger to extracurricular activities, what with being a school athlete and all. It's not an unfamiliar sight to see him and his Pokemon appropriating one of the school battlefields after class to train his team - heck, maybe others have either trained with him or just watched. He does have a pretty unusual way of training them, after all.

Today is proving to be odder than most, because Sena and Monta seem to be trying something out that's a strange mix of sumo wrestling and...dancing?

A closer look shows that he and Monta are actually trying out a Z-Move with the Fightinium-Z and Z-Ring he'd been given by Hala after completing his trial. Or more specifically, the timing. After all, speed and precision is key in Sena's fighting style, and there's no point in having a powerful new move if they can't use it properly.

Sena and Monta have the moves down. But integrating its wide sweeping, powerful steps with their zigzag, lightfooted pace is proving to be a challenge, if their mock battle against Vee is any evidence. The Jolteon is happily running circles around them, tripping up their attempts to get in sync with precisely aimed Thunderbolts and Pin Missiles at their feet, just as she was instructed.

She's doing her job a little too well. Half of the time, they're tripping up because Monta wants to punch her out, not because he's actually stumbling. actually wait he's chasing her around the field now MONTA COME BACK

"Hah...another failure, I guess..."

Sena sounds resigned. Syncing up like this is pretty hard...maybe he could use the break too.

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.

WELCOME TO FALLERS RPG PATCH 1.1: OVER THE RAINBOW!


Welcome one and all and Alola! to the Alola Region! The peaceful islands of Alola is once again, brought forth it’s beautiful Manalo Festival. But on this day, strange things are happening!

On this day, Ultra Holes are opening up, all over the Islands, and people known as Fallers are arriving on the island from other worlds. What sort of strangeness has this prompted such amazing things?

To this end, President Lusamine has re-mobilized her Ultra Guardians in response, and has created a response team from them to help these Fallers recover from the shock of arrival!

But that’s not all. It seems the Tapus have taken note of these Fallers and their uniqueness, and have nudged Pokemon and Eggs towards them, to be recovered by them. What new and exciting things will they see?

Perhaps we will see, as the Fallers are allowed to roam Melemele, for now, as guided tours of the other three Islands and Aether Paradise and Manalo Stadium will be given in short order. For now, homes will be provided for those who have been displaced from their homes until a suitable solution for their situation has been found.

IC: The Four Kahuna and President Lusamine's Address


At the top of the hour, when all the Fallers have gathered at the Manalo Festival Center, Hala, the Kahuna of Melemele, stands at the platform. His voice rings out clear and true across the people.

"People of Alola! On the day of the Radiant One's revival, once again the Ultra Holes have opened up over Alola. This time, people of many nations have arrived in our lands. We, the Kahunas; Olivia, Nanu, Hapu and I, as well as President Lusamine of Aether Foundation, has decided to allow these people to seek shelter and refuge in our lands."

"This is but a temporary solution," said Olivia, taking her turn. "We hope the people of Alola will take these people in with open arms, in their times of need and help them recover."

"Many of them, after interviewing some, come from broken and tired worlds," said Nanu. "Struggles from near and far, have become known to us. It is our hope that our worlds will become closer as a result."

"As such, we have reformed a powerful force indeed to deal with the crisis at hand," said Hapu, as the stage buckled and moved, revealing a team of children dressed in Ride Uniforms, led by Ash Ketchum. "You may know them as the participants in the first Alola Conference!"

"The Ultra Guardians have served to protect Alola from the Ultra Beasts in secret," said Lusamine. "It is our hope with the cooperation of Madam Bewear and her Family," and they indicated the massive Bewear and Stufful who stood at the back of the crowd with Jessie, James and the rest of Team Rocket in their Civilian Outfits, "that we will be able to intercept Fallers and recover them and bring them to a safe location at all points in time in the day and help them acclimate to the world."

"Please, everyone give us your support!" Exclaimed Hala.

As one, the people of Alola roared as the assigned family members, started greeting their newfound adoptees with bright "Alolas!" and "Cousins!"


IC: Gamewide Mingle


As Fallers, you may explore the island, learn about the place, and interact with the various NPCs on request. There are several to meet and different locations to explore!

Pokemon School: A place of learning, the school has opened its doors temporarily for shelter while deciding what to do with the mass influx of people from other worlds. Those who stay will be located to homes. Enrollment into the classes will be optional, and will start in the end of Summer.

Aina Cafeteria: A wonderful restaurant run by Mallow and her father, they run a tight ship of food, and wholesome meals for those to enjoy. You can even work here if you want.

Beaches: Sun, surf, fun, many places here for relaxing and fishing and other such fun. You can go swimming, surfing and using Ride Pokemon to travel and Jetski on.

Tapu Koko’s Forest: A place full of life and Pokemon, learning about this place as it covers most of the area is a wonderful idea as the forest covers a good portion of the island.

Honey Fields: The local bird Pokemon Oricorio frequent this place, and there’s plenty to see here. A relaxing place, with honey and flowers everywhere.

Hau’oli City The main city of Melemele, this is where all the action is! Food, venues, shops, Pokemon, the Market, everything is here. Even your new homes.

IC: PROMPTS!


You can make up your prompts from here! But a selection of ideas are below from the TDM.

1. Arrival
You’ve just arrived! While not an ideal prompt for your test sample, it makes for a good testing for your first reaction here! Having fallen, gotten off the boat or plane from another region, your passport is stamped and processed. If you’re a Native, there’s plenty to see, and can go about your day. But if you’re a Faller, there’s a tour guide waiting for you. Just hold on tight!


2. The Sandy Beaches
Perhaps you’ve had the time to acclimate yourself to the area, and just want to relax now. It’s time to relax in the sunny beach, throw yourself onto the sand and surf, and just chill. You’ve had a long,tough time, and now just want to sleep. Or maybe you’re too excited! This is another world, or another region! Perhaps you’ve been planning this trip to Alola for ages, and now its time to play! The choice is yours!


3. Shopping
What’s a trip to Alola without shopping. There’s food, accessories, more food, clothing, and tourism. Ride some Pokemon, find some things to do. Eat some malasada and shop at Aina’s Kitchen and Team Rocket’s Honey Donuts. If you want to escape the heat, there’s always the mall.


4. Pokemon!
Of course! Pokemon are everywhere. And maybe your Fated Encounter is upon you now. The Tapus are urging a Pokemon to come to you, be it in an Egg format to make its way into your hands, or perhaps a bird or a bug or whatever. Somewhere, a partner is waiting for you, you just have to meet them. And then, perhaps, you will be able to make friends! Just remember in this world? You don’t catch Pokemon -- Pokemon catch you.


5. Travel
There’s plenty to see on Melemele even in one day. There’s a lot of places to travel even by foot, and a lot of room, even in this place. There’s forests, hills, the town, the smaller suburbs, and beaches, an island off the coast, and the honey field even within walking range. Take time to explore and get to know the place, you may be staying for a while until the Ultra Guardians can send you home.


6. Battle
What is Pokemon life without Battling? Now that you have your Pokemon, you can battle with them. But Pokemon battles aren’t just about training but about forming a bond. There’s no such thing as levels in this world, the level system isn’t really a thing here. Sure there’s math and science to count the precise numbers of a Pokemon’s strength but we don’t dwell on this sort of thing. What’s important is forming these bonds with your Pokemon, and learning how to communicate with them, making precious ties with them. Eat, sleep and cherish them as your own family. Manalo, and Ohana. No one is left behind, or forgotten.


7. Freeform
Anything Goes! Come at you, this is a wide world, make up your own prompt!
