V-VOICETESTING...

[fromyestown]

[Today's been a surprisingly quiet day in the academy. Obviously, this is incredibly suspicious considering how whacky the school usually is, but nevertheless nothing odd...or maybe "normal" has happened yet. In fact, despite how Winter's knocking on our doors, it's actually rather sunny out! The weather forecasters even said it'd be like this for a while, nothing but bright, sunny days for at least 2-3 days.

...what they forgot to mention, however, was to warn against low-flying dragons.]

H-hey, look out!

[Did...did that dragon...bug...thing just talk? Thankfully not, it was just the kid riding on top of it, so that's one problem solved.

...there's still the problem of a 180 pound dragon heading towards you, though. Might wanna move.]

[Not minding in the least. Hell, he did the same thing.]

Really? Phew, that's a relief.

[He grins, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. At least...until N speaks up again, then he just kind of stares. Blankly.

Jeeze, this dude could sure talk fast...]

Huh? ...oh! Heh, yeah I'm fine. So is Sandy.

[And Brendan gestures over to the Flygon, which nods her head.]

[idealisms]

[ Haha, fast might even be an understatement here. Gotta talk fast. ]

Sandy... That's her name? What a lovely choice. I don't suppose you're her trainer?

[ N kneels at the dragon-bug-whatchamacallit's side, reaching a tender hand to stroke her scales. Goodness, she's so soft and full of roundness in her geometrical design. How precious. ]

What kind of Pokemon is she? [ He's never seen a Flygon before, really. Even in his time in Hoenn, he didn't learn about every Pokemon there was to see there. ]

[fromyestown]

Yep! I've had her ever since she was a Trapinch.

[...Brendan, honey, he probably doesn't know what a Trapinch is. Nevertheless, he sure does look proud of his 'mon, if that smirk and puffed out chest is any indication.

Meanwhile, the Flygon lets out a soft, almost purr-like sound. Clearly she's enjoying the extra attention she's getting.]

She's a Flygon. I take it you're not from Hoenn?

[idealisms]

[ Actually, he does know what a Trapinch is! He wouldn't think it'd be related to a Flygon, though. The changes are so drastic in evolutions sometimes.

Well, at any rate, it doesn't matter. What matters is he has a beautiful new Pokemon before him, and he wants to lavish it in all the attention and love he can, especially after getting into such trouble. Poor girl. ]

Oh, no, I am not. I have been to Hoenn, but that is not my native land. I am from Unova.

[ a.k.a some far-off land or something. ]

[fromyestown]

It's actually not mine either. I'm originally from Johto, but my parents and I moved to Hoenn a few years back.

[Wait...did he say Unova? Being a few years after Emerald, he's actually visited there for training and catching pokemon.]

As for Unova, I've been there before. It was quite the place! Lots of Pokemon I never even knew existed.

[idealisms]

You've been to Unova...! [ Oh, he's suddenly pretty excited. He hops up from his position in the grass, determining that Flygon is fine and not seriously hurt. S'all good. ]

Tell me, where have you been in Unova? Have you been to Nimbasa City, to the ferris wheel?

[ BECAUSE THAT'S THE BEST PART. ]

[fromyestown]

[EXCUSE YOU, MISTER, SANDY DID NOT SAY YOU COULD STOP...

She walks over to her trainer, giving him a little nudge. In response, he turns his head and smiles at her, petting her head slowly. After a bit of that, he turns his attention back to N.]

Dude, are you kidding? I've ridden that ferris wheel at least ten times! It's got a pretty sweet view.

[It was only part of the reason he went to Nimbasa, though. Still, it was probably the most fun he had there...or at least second to his fight with Elesa.]

[idealisms]

I've lost count of how many times I've ridden that ferris wheel. There is another one some ways away from this very city, but even it cannot compare. Nimbasa's architecture is unmatched.

In fact... [ A thoughtful hum. He wonders if Brendan's just passing by or if he's actually a citizen here now. ]

We could go to that amusement park someday. Will you remain in Final Destination for long?

[fromyestown]

Final Destination? That's where I am?

[He looks around curiously, as if trying to find some kind of landmark.]

...I've never even heard of this place before. I was trying to get back to Johto, but Sandy and I got caught in a bad storm. It sent us all the way to...wherever the heck this is.

[idealisms]

That storm may have dropped you here via a portal of some sort, but fear not. You will surely be able to go home from here.

[ Of course, N wouldn't exactly know how. He can't say he knows a good route from here to Johto. He, uh... He knows routes from Hoenn and Sinnoh to Johto, though!

!

!!!

Yeah, that's not of any help. ]

[fromyestown]

Well, it's not exactly home anymore. I just wanted to visit there and say hi to some old friends. Maybe check out what's happened since I left. After all, it has been a long time...

[A small sigh escapes his lips.]

...anyway, yeah. Maybe someone around here can help.
