Player Plot - Jouney Through Desert Resort [Locked to Subaru & Emmet]

[kattobingu_ore]

 [[Note to the others- Responses of course, will come from Astral.]]

 It was a strange feeling, sand passing through him. As an incorporeal being of course, technically he couldn't feel it at all of course. But he could see the sand come toward him and not stop, as it did when it blew over the others.

Subaru already had his poncho from the store on- in addition, his pokemon were either within their pokeballs or kept in check by Yuuma's own. Travelling along Route 4 had been the easy part, where the road had been relatively safe to traverse.

Now, however, they were in the Desert Resort- and reaching the building known as 'Relic Castle' would be easier said than done. Vicious winds blew sand around until it was impossible to see more than a few feet before them- And any single mound of it could be mistaken for the land that the ruinous building sat upon.

"Subaru," he called out, voice somehow still overpowered by the howling winds. Behind him, the pokemon were each doing their part to shield the other from the harsh winds- though Muzumuzu was relatively unaffected even he had troubles, a fact that had the psychic of the group doing her best to at least shield them from the worst, the tiny Kuribolt barely avoiding a fate of being blown away while Achacha acted as a wall. "Subaru," he repeated, looking to the boy. "How are you faring..??"

It's interesting how much Astral himself stands out when there's dark cloth all over him really- almost disembodied until they hit the upper floors, the being jolting somewhat when his feet move from somewhat warm stone to very warm sand. He adjusts however, and continues on. Up...

And up...

And up...

And in the end, they come to a doorway leading outside... "Ah..." The pokemon bolt ahead and he stares. "That was far quicker than expected..." Indeed; for all the time they spent down there, it was likely only a day or so to leave.

[ryuusei_subaru]

Huh. This must have been a shortcut outside...much easier, thank goodness. I wasn't sure how much longer we could have lasted in there if we went back up the way we came...

[originalnumber]

"Aah." Hopping down the ledge after the others, he moves toward the door. "It's quite fo-"

"Tir..!"

...Eh..?

[ryuusei_subaru]

Wueh?!

[And Subaru looks behind them. A...turtle Pokemon?]

Of course it wouldn't be that easy...

[originalnumber]

"Ahhh..." The turtle like creature does not attack, despite assumptions.

Instead it falls off the ledge in a heap and shuffles toward Astral in what appears to be a considerably happy manner. This... Strange light blue turtle... "...Tirtouga?"

The pokemon seems even more happy with that. "TIRRRRRR..!"

Come to think, the colours Astral has on him make him almost the same shade as...

...Oh.

[ryuusei_subaru]

...At least it's friendly?

[Welp.]

[originalnumber]

"Aah. I suppose, but..."

"TIRRR!"

"I do not even have a pokeball for it..."

[ryuusei_subaru]

Well, that's no problem! I have plenty, you can have one!

[And digging through his bag for it now.]

[originalnumber]

"Ah..! There is no problem with this..?"

[ryuusei_subaru]

It's fine. I don't really use my Pokeballs that much, because I'm trying to keep from catching too many Pokemon...

[And tossing one over to Astral now!]

[originalnumber]

"Ah... Thank you."

He turns to the tirtouga, the little one staring curiously for a moment. "Is this alright with you?" he asks. "You can return to your home if you like."

"Tirrr!!" Well, he doesn't move, so... Astral tosses the ball, and with a few clicks it locks; immediately after the ball is released, and the Tirtouga chirups again. "Tirrrrr, touuuuu..!"

"Well..." ...Now that that is done... "...We should head back to Castelia..."

[ryuusei_subaru]

Un, of course.

[And off they go, trudging through the desert!]
