First Lie : Nimbasa City - action

Having fiddled around a little with his Xtransceiver to figure out how the primitive technology worked, he's currently got the video function turned off, mostly because he doesn't like the idea of people trying to contact him before he's properly got his bearings in this new realm.

That does not mean to say, however, that he's not conspicuous, even in Nimbasa - he's still in his dark Asgardian clothes that he arrived in, the only additions being the green bag slung over his shoulder and the Emolga currently sitting on his shoulder.

The cold doesn't bother him at all. Nor does the fact bother him all that much, due to that always having been the case, yet now there is a constant reminder attached to it. Not one of them. Something else...

He narrows his eyes, and continues to explore.

"Asgard..?"

While Yuuma briefly ponders what Asgard is, Astral nods.

"I am Astral- Unfortunately, the name of my realm is yet debatable," he adds politely. "As of recent time outside of this one, I reside on Earth, with Yuuma."

...Yuuma who is still pondering to himself. "Oi oi I heard that befor- AH! Loki!!" Wat. "That was one of the Norse Gods!~" Wat. "So it's real?? That's so cool..!!!"

"...Mn-hn..." A cough from Astral snaps the boy out of it, and he hurriedly goes back to introductions.

"Aha- Tsuk- Ah..." He coughs, correcting himself. "Yuuma Tsukumo! I'm from Heartland, Japan~ And this is Kuribolt," he says looking to the zorua, "And Achacha," Pidgeot, "And Ganbara, and Galu, and..." As the turtle and munna are named, the ghost gives a cackle. "Muzumuzu!"

Yuuma what is with those names.

[Subaru blanches in shock when he hears what Yuuma's deduced, and he looks up in awe for a few moments before he realizes that Yuuma's done with introductions. Granted, he's met a god-like being before, ~~and destroyed it~~ but still...]

Unlike Yuuma, however, he doesn't actually have any of his own Pokemon out of their Pokeballs.]

A-ah, I'm- [And he stops himself, remembering Yuuma's own correction.] Subaru Hoshikawa...I'm from Earth also, but a different one, I guess... [Somehow.]

Oi, oi, don't forget to introduce me!

But he can't even see-

Hey, he's a god, right?

Eh...War-Rock's here too, but I don't know if you can see him...he's from the Planet AM...

"Mol! Molga!" Thor is apparently just as much of an attention seeker here as ever. Even though he's only named after the god.

"I suppose I should mention that I named the flying squirrel on my shoulder Thor." That smile is full of mischief. You can tell he's going to have fun with this and milk it for what it's worth. "And yes. That would be me." He bows slightly to them both, just a glorified dip of the head, really. "A pleasure to meet you. Although unfortunately it would seem as though I cannot see your other friend. Perhaps it is a measure of the power of this place, or some other reason which I may find out in due time."

"Hahaaaa! That's a good name..!" Yea this kid doesn't know much about the gods does he. He looks to where War-Rock is, nodding briefly before turning back. "Aah. War-Rock is made of... Electricity..?" Is that it?

"...EM Wave energy, Yuuma. 'Denpa'."

Oh. Thank you Astral. "Ah! Yea, that! Subaru's glasses can see that energy though, right?" he asks, looking back to Subaru. "Astral wasn't visible until a while ago either, but that was because of something else..."

Astral nods at that, pulling the horn around his neck into view from beneath the poncho. "Aah. The energies that brought me to Yuuma's realm apparently left me in a spirit like state there, visible to a choice few, such as himself. As it seemed however, there was a creature in the desert who gave an energy that could reverse this... Though technically, I am still bound to the key that brought me to existence," he adds, the key in question quite visible around Yuuma's neck.

Mm, that's correct, they can.

And yet this guy can't? Not much of a god, is he?

Don't be rude, War-Rock! [Sigh. At least they're at the Pokemon Center now?]

"I have to admit to not being overly familiar with the concept of electricity. You may have to teach about it. Perhaps that is another reason."

This probably doesn't help War-Rock's idea of him not being much of a god.

He pays attention to Astral's explanation, and then gives a quick look at the key itself. Nowhere near as intricate or as ornate as any of the treasures in his fa- Odin's vault. But apparently priceless and powerful nonetheless.

To Yuuma himself as well, as briefly, he looks upon the key rather fondly before grinning. "Well, there's a whole lot of it here..!"

"Indeed," Astral adds. "Nimbasa is home to the 'Electric Gym Leader', Elesa. The entire city is considered the most well lit location in Unova."

They are at the Pokemon Center now however it seems, so Yuuma pulls out some pokeballs. "Okay everyone! In you go..!"

A few rays of red light and all five of the balls are filled...

And in they walk. To one side a store can be seen, selling simple potions and things. At the far end, where Yuuma and the others will eventually find themselves, is the Nurse's station.

"Just come from the desert then?" she asks them with a smile. "Would you like to heal your pokémon?"

A nod, and the balls are held forward. "Aah! Yes please!"

Oi, oi, Subaru, are you really sure-?

War-Rock... [And then he turns his attention to the nurse.] Ah, yes...

[And then Subaru takes out four of his own Pokeballs, before looking up to Loki.]

What about, um...Thor? Does he need healing too?

Loki gives Thor a sideways glance.

"I don't think that it's necessary. We haven't needed to fight anyone since arriving, and he seems as lively as ever."

Thor himself spoke up at that with a bright smile.

"How does this work, now...?"

He's peering around. He means the Nurse's station, but it could be anything. It's all new to him.

Nurse Joy number whatever the heck to the rescue.

As the pokeballs are carefully taken back by an Audino, the woman smiles. "Oh! You must be one of the new arrivals," she cheerily exclaims, Yuuma briefly looking back as Astral watches.

"Would you like a tour of our facility then? The layout of a Pokemon Center is must-have knowledge for trainers of the region, and each city, town, and village is equipped with one."

[Subaru looks up at Loki.]

I think you should do it. I found it very helpful, at least...and Pokemon Centers are really useful.

He shrugs with his arms, rather than risk dislodging Thor from his shoulder, and then plucks the Emolga down.

"If you think so."

He raises an eyebrow at him, and at least he doesn't disagree, going back his pokeball with no further ado.

"A tour would be quite helpful, thank you."

"Very well then!" The pokeball is taken, and brought back to the room... In the meantime, a fellow nurse comes to stand in while Joy steps around. "Let us begin the tour!"

First stop- left hand side of the room. "Over here is the waiting area, for those who are stopping by for a minor check-in. Pokemon taken to the center are restored in the back rooms and returned within 5 to ten minutes typically, provided more severe injuries have not been sustained. In these cases the wait may be longer, or an overnight stay may be required, however such occurrences are rare," she adds, a few people in said waiting area flipping through the available magazines and pamphlets. "You will also find information on the city of Nimbasa here, and within other cities there will often be brochures with their own information."

Moving onto the right side- don't worry, she'll answer any questions you have between..!

"Over here we have the Poke-Mart, which is located in any cities lacking a specialized department store. The Poke-Mart holds a regularly checked stock of day to day needs for aspiring and current trainers, including medicines, travel aids, and also supplies for pokemon capture and care."

"Now," she continues, moving toward a staircase behind the front desk, "If you could follow me please..."

"Upstairs we have minor training facilities. Some prefer to utilize Battle Halls when they can, or to battle with pokemon in the wilds, but if you so wish you will be able to train with others in the rooms provided here." Moving further along the upper floor... "And over here we have the PC system. This is a public run system, encompassing all of Unova, and is used for Pokemon transport. As trainers are legally required to have no more than six pokemon on their team at any time, these PC's are used to transport other pokemon to 'boxes', which coorespond with vast and diverse fields looked after in the southern area of Unova, near Nuvema town. These fields are specifically formed to suit many pokemon needs, and will allow them to remain safe and well cared for until returned to the party itself."

"And last of all," the Nurse continues, moving back downstairs, "This is as you know the main desk. When visiting the pokemon center, all you need to do to ask for a healing is to come to this desk, where a Nurse will see to your questions and needs. And that is the extent of our facilities here at the pokemon center- I hope you found this information useful," she adds with a light bow. "And Audino should be back with your pokemon shortly."

He takes it all in without saying a word, one hand to his mouth and a finger sometimes tapping against his upper lip. He takes note of anything that might be useful - which includes everyone else in the vicinity and how they're acting, as well as all of the possible potential exits, not limited to silly things like doors.

Once the tour is completed, he bows slightly, and thanks the ~~NPC~~ Nurse Joy.

"Thank you. Yes, it was very helpful. I'll keep this all in mind."

And then he goes back to where he sees Yuuma's very... recognisable hairstyle. Hardly something one could miss or mistake, that.

[Meanwhile, the Nurse is correct, the two boys are in the middle of getting their Pokemon back right now.]

Thanks, Joy-san... [And then he spots Loki coming back as he's putting away his four Pokemon.]

Ah! You're back! Was it helpful?

Yuuma as well is getting his pokemon back, ready to release them once he's outside- Astral is carrying a few pokeballs himself to keep them from falling out of Yuuma's hands however... The egg makes it difficult for him to manage after all.

As it is, putting his hat back on, Yuuma grins. "Ah! Loki!" Another pokeball is returned, and Yuuma holds it forward to him. "They're all done too! Here's yours..!"

They get a small smile. "Ah, yes. It was. Thank you." He takes Thor's pokeball and lets him out straight away, the Emolga finding his way back to Loki's shoulder in an instant. The ball goes into his bag, since he won't be needing it.

[While this is going on, Subaru's frowning slightly as he looks at his X-Transiever.]

It's getting pretty late, though, I think you should save the Gym for tomorrow, Yuuma-kun...

"HEHHH?? REALLY?"

The Nurse at the counter has to stare. "Oh?" And glance at the clock. "Oh my- It's already dark out!" However, rather than a somewhat saddened look, she instead gives a large smile to the group. "Elesa's gym will probably be booked completely, but I highly recommend a trip through the city before settling down for the evening- this is your first time in Nimbasa, correct?"

Astral nods. "Aah. It is."

"In that case, close your eyes as you leave the building- When you open them," she continues with a smile, "You'll be in for a wonderful surprise!"

"Ah?? Really?" Yuuma is already looking toward the door...

And potentially bolting if you guys take too long to leave!! "Hahhh... Yuuma..." At least it's more a fast walk though- Astral has no trouble walking to keep up...

Mind, Yuuma's standing perfectly still when he gets outside to see what the nurse was talking about.

"Woaaaaaaaahhh..." Lights...

..Everywhere...

At first he's amused, humouring them and not expecting anything truly spectacular. This world may be strange, and more advanced than most he's passed through since falling from the Bifrost, but nowhere near the splendour of Asgard.

But as he opens his eyes, the lights glimmer out at him, shining in the night like a thousand points of the rainbow, scattered across the city. The bridge, falling, shattered.

He remembers being able to look out, and he would be able to see that, remembers riding out with Thor, and the others, before, when they were still innocent and ignorant.

It was beautiful, and it was heartbreaking. It reminded him of everything he didn't have any longer, and was a pale imitation of a slight portion of home.

His breathing hitched, but he couldn't close his eyes.
