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

They're very cute, but what about the water ones? And the leafy-- the grass ones?

[ ... Janey's named her Cyndaquil "Cinder," at least, so there's that. At least it's not anything kraggon-related. ]

We'll just have to find you some really tough-looking ones, then. As for these guys... [ Boop, she's capturing both of them because Athena you might change your mind or something. ] I'm taking them both!

[kissmyaspis]

Have fun with that. If they're anything like this in battle, they're more likely to hit you than their opponent.

[.... to be fair it's pretty easy for Janey to get Athena to change her mind on a lot of things, but those pokemon....! and people thought the big red flopping fish were useless...]

From what I've been able to tell, you need to travel quite a bit to find decent creatures. We might have to pack up soon.

[zoomied]

... We'll just deal with that if it happens!

[ Decent creatures, huh. ]

This would be way easier with a vehicle of some sort. But I can't even cobble together enough parts to make something. But it'll be worth it, yeah? Gotta find me one of those steel types.

[kissmyaspis]

We'd probably have better luck finding a monster to ride, honestly. I've traveled through a few of the routes already, and the roads aren't exactly vehicle-friendly. Not even for the things you can whip up.

[It's... not really an insult to Janey's mechanical skills. More like proof of just how bad it would be to try and ride through the routes in a car or on a bike.]

I've been looking into that type, too. It doesn't seem all that common, so we might have a lot of searching ahead of us if we want to hunt some of the monsters from that group down.

[zoomied]

Yeahhhhh... the roads are way too narrow. There's not even any skags to hit or rakks to shoot down. Boring.

[ Someone's priorities are in order. But, hey, Athena's here, so she can worry about stuff like that. And, really, that's more than Janey could ask for. Her wife, here at her side, weird little creatures apparently involved in some sort of twisted fighting shtick... ]

Best things are hard to come by, you know that! So, let's get to it!

[kissmyaspis]

Incredibly boring. And... unsettling. The lack of those kinds of vermin usually means there's something bigger and badder around.

[Which wouldn't be so bad, considering what she's looking for right now. But it does give her a sort of paranoia that something's about to get the jump on them.]

You're pretty eager, aren't you?
