Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Sol notices an Arcanine and a Houndoom near them, and they [coincidentally] ask about a Mega Stone. Like, you know, the one the group has just found.

Sol: <Oh hello there.... now that you mention it...> -- points to Dintel and Ichtacya.

"Nifty guys, we just found this stone that we could perfectly just [trade away]."

Sol: <Ahem…> -- scratches Silent.

"…Oh?"

-turns around, sees the Arcanine and Houndoom-

"…Oh? A Houndoom I see! How curiously coincidental!"

-Sol rolls her eyes-

Ichtacya the Leafeon♀: <We just found this one, yes… why? Are you interested in it?>

Sol -circles around: <Well, at least you> -- stares at the Houndoom -- <would be able to make use of it...>

Sycamore's Lab

Sycamore: "There there, behind the ears perhaps?"

-Sycamore pets Denshi a bit more and takes some time to examine the Pokémon while listening to Eridanus-

Sycamore: "Well obviously this Pokémon gets lots of love." -- stands up -- "Now, give me a moment while I search for a Pokédex..."

-Me opens some cabinets and moves some copybooks and notes and papers trying to look for a Pokédex, and spends about a minute in that task, not finding any-

Sycamore: "Hmmm, I don't think I've given the entire batch away yet, it's only Saturday." -- turns to Eridanus -- "Would you please give me a moment?"

-walks to the corner of his room and yells to the next room-

Sycamore: "Ms. Tamarinda? Where are my Pokédexes?"

Secretary Tamarinda's voice (offscreen): "Not this again... *sighs* In the box labelled [free Pokédexes], Professor!"

-Sycamore turns around and starts looking for the aforementioned box, not noticing it's right under the table, where it could be perfectly seen by say a Trapinch-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Route 16

Sparkers tries to be cuuuuuute to Silent to get the just-coincidentally-found Houndoomite. This seems to annoy Sol and Ichtacya a bit.

Sol -frowns: <…Excuuse me? First, we just found it and finders-keepers. Second, if we're talking cuteness well I am a cat so I should get t->

-Silent leaps in-

"Suuure! You can have it, cute dog!"

Sol: <.....rrrrrr~> >_>

Ichtacya the Leafeon♀ -- nudges Silent: <Errr… perhaps we could get something in exchange?>

"Well I'm okay with it but really what would you two do with the stone anyway?"

-And Ichtacya and Sol start to think for a moment, coming up with nothing-

-Silent approaches Smith carefully-

"So, you want this stone? It'd be useful for you…" -- produces the Mega Stone -- "I'm assuming from your desire for it that you have a Trainer?"

Sycamore notices the noise and moves in to watch poor Fox being trapped in a Pokédexes box.

Sycamore: "Oh dear… wait wait hang on..."

-and chases after the Trapinch-in-a-box-

-Meanwhile from the nearby room one of the lab assistants walks in holding a tray with three Pokéballs; sees what is going on and deadpanly turns back and walks away-

Sycamore: "Don't worry I have it under control!"

-and manages to catch up to the walking box, starts trying to pull it off the Trapinch's body-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Rt. 16

As it turns out, Sparkers is the Trainer.

"…So you're the Trainer? Uh..." -- scratches head.

Ichtacya the Leafeon♀: <You know what,> -- tilts head -- <it's not that uncommon at this point.>

"Hi Sparkers… I'm Silent. Anyway, Stone."

-and shows the Mega Stone-

"We don't really have any use for it, but I was wondering if you'd by any chance have any of those nifty Kalos things in spare? TMs, nifty items, a Nidokingite, punchingbags perhaps?"

Sol -in a low tone: <I don't think Maekrite would like a Nidokingite.>

Ichtacya: <Hey!> -- hops happily -- <A TM would be nice!>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Rt. 16

Silent is presented with a Dazzling Gem TM.

Sol: <Ooooooh~> -- purrs, gets in pouncing position -- <I can learn that…>

Ichtacya -sits: <I helped undig it... don't I get anything for it?>

"Okay then... I think I'll take it..."

Silent gives away the
[Houndoominite!]


Sycamore Lab

Sycamore gets the wrong end of an unboxing and falls to the ground.

Sycamore: "Ouch ouch..." -- looks around, notices Fox -- "Oh well, you are free!"

-He then proceeds to pet Fox while picking the empty box and checking the label-

"Oh, this must have been from those fangirls's care package. Ahem..."

-he throws the box away and starts looking for another box-

-meanwhile the same assistant from before enters the room again and nudges Eridanus-

Assistant: "Excuse me you are here to get a Pokémon from Professor Sycamore, yes?"

▶ YES
  YES

Ichtacya and Sol get some nice, nifty nose boops! for their trade.

-Meanwhile Silent goes grab the TM-

Silent gets a-


-…But Sol leaps in!-

Sol -hisses: <Mine! Precious!>

-and grabs the TM and runs away with it-

Ichtacya -looks confused: <What just...?>.

-She apologizes to Sparkers and rushes after Sol-

"…"

-blinks-

"…"

-Meanwhile [Dintel the Sandshrew] is just idly sitting there, probably waiting for a nose boop, which doesn't happen apparently because the dog mons walk away-

"Hope we meet again someday! And let me know somehow if you ever find a Nidokingite~"

-waves happily-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Sycamore Lab

Eridanus comes from Yes Town says yes and explains he already has a Starter Pokémon. In response the assistant simply shrugs.

Assistant: "Well we are giving them away for free... and I guess picking one is better than to be watching that…"

-and points to Sycamore turning over several boxes, not noticing the real Pokédexes box is right under the table, besides the place where the bagels box was-

Assistant: "Anyway feel free to pick one of these Pokéballs containing a grass-type cute Chespin, a fire-type elegant Fennekin or a water-type serious Froakie."

-leans in-

Assistant: "Let's give you a deal… for only €9 999 I will tell you which Pokéball contains the Froakie. Everyone wants Froakies. And it's definitively not a bribe. Let's call it... an investment on research."

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Eridanus gets a Fennekin!

Assistant: "Aww damn, now I won't be able to pay alimony..." -- coughs -- "Congratulations! And yes it is a male. No one gets female Starters, noooooo sir. I have a cousin who hands over female starter balls... for a price."

Eridanus obtains a starter!


-Suddenly there are some sounds and yells coming from the hallway and a random young trainer-wannabe storms in-

????: "AHAAA!!!" -- points to Eridanus -- "You! You picked the middle ball! Now I'll forcibly obtain the [Froakie] and will have myself volunteered as your RIVAAAALLL!"

Assistant -to a walkie talkie: "Securityyyyyy!"

-Three Machokes in black suits storm in, accompanied by a male nurse holding a syringe, and they start struggling with the intruder-

-Meanwhile Sycamore finally notices the box and starts rummaging through it, finally producing a Pokédex!-

Sycamore -to Forge: "Thank you for finding that, little thing!" -- examines the Pokédex -- "Yes this one is free..."

-And turns to Eridanus to offer him the Pokédex-

-The assistant stores the other two Pokéballs away-

Assistant: "Well since you ask about it I can tell you these Starters are just run of the mill. Nothing really special about them, unless you happen to be lucky. I've heard about people in other countries saving their regions with Starters." -- shrugs.

-Sycamore approaches and produces a small box-

Sycamore: "Well, young Trainer, here is where your Kalos adventure begi-"

-Suddenly a lot of alarms go off and a couple of assistants rush into the room-

Assistant #2: "Professor! There is a mob of fangirls and fanboys gathering outside! We have to get out NOW!"

Sycamore: "B-but the welcome speech!" -- points to Eridanus.

Assistant #2: "Fangirl mob! It's like Lance's or Wallace's only worse!"

-suddenly a chair flies into the building through the window, prompting the Assistants to try and grab Sycamore to take him to the elevator-

Sycamore: "Fare well young Trainer! Take that box which contains-"

-and the elevator door closes before them, leaving Eridanus alone with a box that contains [5 Pokéballs]. Oh and the mob outside. Quick way to gain EXP!-

Route 16, yesterday near sundown

-Silent and co may notice a large group of Murkrow surrounding a Honchkrow perched in a nearby tree-

Honchkrow: <What's the status on the attack?>

Murkrow A: <We're still not having much luck, but we've got a lot of reinforcements and they can't hold on forever.>

-The Honchkrow rins and clasps his wings as his eyes flicker-

Honchkrow: <Excellent...>

Murkrow A: <...You know, I still can't get over how your eyes have been the past week, boss.>

Honchkrow: <I told you not to worry about that.>

Murkrow A: <But still!>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Route 16, after sundown yesterday

Silent is walking around with Dintel, looking for Ichtacya and Sol, when Dintel looks up the trees and points Silent up.

"…Oh? A mob?"

Dintel the Sandshrew♂: <The are nice birds there!>

-frowns-

"They don't look nice."

Silent pays attention to the conversation, listens to the part about the attack and wonders what is going on. He looks around, having some trouble to see anything in the distance because it's getting dark and Murkrow are also dark.

"…I wonder what are they attacking? Dintel why don't you go up and take a look to find out?"

Dintel nods and starts climbing up the same tree where the Murkrow are perched up. Meanwhile Silent calls out for Ichtacya and Sol to hurry and get back.

Dintel the Sandshrew♂ -to the group of birds: <Oh hai!> -- attempts to pass through.

Silent facepalms.

Honchkrow: <Oh, hello. Are you here to join the mob?>

Murkrow A: <Wait, we're letting a Sandshrew in now?>

Honchkrow: <You didn't object to the human.>

Murkrow A: <He was a Murkrow at the time... You've been acting weird recently, boss...>

"Wait wait wait- What do they mean with a human?" -- to Dintel -- "Can you ask about that?"

Dintel the Sandshrew♂: <After I get ice cream.> -- turns to the Murkrow A -- <What has I do for ice cream?>

"Hmmm…"

Dintel the Sandshrew♂ -tilts head: <But attacking humans is not nice. Can I get ice cream anyway?>

-Silent looks concerned when he hears about Laverre-

"That's a city… Dintel? Who are they attacking?"

Dintel the Sandshrew♂ -looks down: <I don't know but I can get some ice cream!>

"Okay Dintel stop being silly and get off that tree..."

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Anistar City, today

Silent is wandering around the city followed by Dintel and Algira, trying to figure out what to do today besides time-shenaniganing Lyokoplots. He and his mons enter a random house for random, undisclosed reasons and decide to talk with the people inside.

Sol the Espeon♀: <Remember to check the trash cans!> -- looks for one -- <There might be a TM inside...>

"I'm not checking the tra-" -- looks at her -- "Why would we even check the trashcans?"

Sol the Espeon♀ -proudly: <Because there might be a TM inside...>

-Algira wanders off while Silent goes talk to someone-

Weird person: "Who are you and why are you trespassing into my house? Welcome. I see you have some [Pokémon]... Do you want me to check the type of their Hidden Power?"

"...Hidden Power?" -- check his TM case.

Weird person -shrugs: "That's my 'hidden power'."

-Silent stares-

"Ooookay..."

-checks his Pokémon, wondering if there's any use for any of them knowing their HP-type-

"What are you, a Latii in disguise?"

Weird person: <No...> -- ¬¬

-Silent raises an eyebrow-

"..."

Weird person: "..."

"..."

Weird person -coughs: "I mean 'No...'".

"Ah..." -- shrugs -- "Anyway... here let's try this!"

-And offers Shahinne up-

Shahinne the Starly♀: <I'm pretty!> -- ruffles plumage.

-The weird person staaaaaares intensely and then calmly dictates-

Weird person: "If this lovable bird were to learn Hidden Power, her type's would be [Psychic]."

Sol the Espeon♀ -puurs: <Yay~> -- to Shahinne -- <We'll be colleagues!>

"Hmmm… I wonder if?"

-Silent leaves Shahinne to wander off on her own and picks up [Roc].-

Roc the Staraptor♂ -frowns, to Silent: <…What do you think you're doing?>

"Hush, just stay there and don't pluck my eyes."

-The weird person staaaaaares intensely into Roc's soul, and Roc being a hypersensitive Staraptor staaaaaaaares back-

Roc: <…Are you a Latii?>

Weird person: <…Hush.>

-and the two staaaaaaaare into each other longer-

Weird person: "If this meddling bird were to learn Hidden Power, his type's would be [Grass]."

"…Grass? But but but Shahinne's is Psychic!"

Weird person: "Hidden Power type is not hereditary, you know. It's determined by [REDACTED]."

"…Huh, didn't expect that." -- thinks for a moment -- "And where do I get a Hidden Power TM anyway?"

-the weird person looks around-

"I know someone who has it but she'll be back later. Go take a walk. And learn not to trespass on other people's houses."

-And shoves Silent and his mons outside.-

"..."

Sol -snarls at the door as it closes behind the group: <Well thank you...>

"Come on people, let's see if there's anything interesting to do in this town."

-The group starts walking around amidst the conveniently placed masses of people. While trying to keep track of Dintel (who admittedly _has_ gotten easily lost), Silent accidentally bumps onto someone already walking into town.-

"…Ouch!" -- rubs head -- "Sorry, er...?"

-And notices a trainer with a Magnemite-

"…Oh!"

-Dintel on the other hand notices the not-random Trapinch first-

Dintel the Sandshrew♂: <Ohai!> -- walks up to the Trapinch and waves a paw-

Silent helps the other guy get back to his feet.

"I'm fine, thanks, sorry about that. You?"

-Dintel meanwhile keeps greeting the Trapinch, but notices Denshi the Raichu and tilts head; Sol also approaches and moves closer to Denshi-

Sol the Espeon♀: <Sorry about that, we were keeping him on check...> -- points to Dintel.

-Silent listens to the mon conversation but says nothing about it; Sol and Dintel however do-

Dintel the Sandshrew♂: <Why do you bump into people a lot? You have an eye~> -- pointing to the Magnemite.

Sol the Espeon♀ -glares: <That looked painful... If you feel the pain the Pokécenter is that way~>


-Silent turns to Eridanus-

"Uhm, sorry for the bump. Who might you be?"

Thou hast forgotten the face of thy Lord. Remember, mortal, and fear pet me.

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Eridanus's mons strike some conversation about bumping onto people.

Sol the Espeon♀ -offpawedly: <Ah, that usually happens to player characters...> -- turns around. -- <And we're not from Kalos... some of us are from Kanto, or from Johto.>

-goes shake a paw-

<I am from the [Dream World] myself. And Trainer here is from a non-canon region.>

-Silent talks to Eridanus-

"Ah yes an Espeon. She's Sol… she is traded though, was already an Espeon when I met her. She's a bookworm so I feed her with books, actually."

Dintel: <Trainer does treat us well though!>

-he's a Sandshrew a bit on the chubby side so he knows what he's talking about :p-

<Oh so your Trainer bumps... Where do I have a point?> -- tilts head.

Sol the Espeon♀: <He doesn't mean like that...>

Dintel: <...So?>

-Sol shakes her head and directs her attention to Eridanus and Forge-

<Sarah, eh? I take it you've known some of the people of "the group" then.>

-to Eridanus-

"So, uhm... sorry about the bump. I was just walking around the city looking for stuff to do. There's a... weird person somewhere in one of those houses and then there's the Pok'ecenter. I think there's also a Gym."

The conversation continues between Silent and Eridanus, who comments on plans to challenge the Gym.

"Ah, not bad. I should do some more gym challenging myself, to keep my mons trained. I take it you already have a bit of experience on Gym challenges?"

Dintel: <Oh, you know... the group! The one everymon is part of!>

Sol the Espeon♀ -walks in: <People who we meet around tend to eventually fall within the grasps of the so-called "Phone People". There's no escaping it~>

-Dintel glares at Sol for a moment-

Dintel: <…We're not evil though!>

-Silent checks his items bag just in case-

"I wonder if any of your Pokémon would like a [berry], just in case."
