ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

[A Sawsbuck...he's still learning, so Asriel tilts his head a little as he takes in this information. He also scoots into the sun and scoops up Sunny in his arms, so the Pokemon is still in the sun but also close to him. The little seed sighs contentedly.]

That's where the Pokemon doctors are, right? I'll take him to one for sure.

[Because knowing the rest of the route he has to travel on, there's sure to be more Pokemon ready to leap from the tall grass itching for a fight.]

I hope there's one close. I wanna know if Sunny's okay for sure, but if...if you think he'll be okay for now, then...

That's right. The nurses working there will know what to do if Sunny really is sick.

Where are you at right now? There are always Pokemon Centers in every town.

Um, I'm in...

[He turns around, as if expecting some sort of sign, but mostly he's just trying to remember.]

A place called...Route 29? But I've been on it for a couple days now. I didn't know roads could be this long.

["On the surface" goes unsaid.]

Oh, you should be getting close to Cherrygrove then. It's been a while since I've been there, but it's around three days or so between New Bark and there. You should be able to take Sunny to that Pokemon Center.

[Kaneki's smile softens a bit.]

Now that I think about it...have you been battling with Sunny at all?

[Asriel frowns a little, looking off to the side.]

A little. If one of the...one of the Pokemon jumps out at us, and we can't run away. But, I don't know if I want him to fight.

Ah...it's alright. That's what Pokemon do around here. Sunny can protect you from wild Pokemon if they decide they want to attack.

[But on the flip side...]

I don't battle all that much either, though. You don't really have to if you don't want to. But if Sunny can weaken something enough, you guys should be able to get away without fighting anymore.

[Oh. So. You can be really strong, to the point where you don't have to fight at all? You don't...need to keep fighting over and over?

This is a new and revolutionary idea to Asriel.]

Still, that's...a lot of EXP to earn, and a lot of LVs to reach, isn't it?

Yeah, I guess it is. But you can take things at your own pace. It's like how this place is based on the game...you play the game how you want to, right?

...It's...based on a game?

[No one has informed him of any of this, and he, in fact, looks somewhat horrified.]

August-September Testo Doraivu!
