First Century - Good thing transceivers are down...

One would think Jack Atlas far too proud to accept the offer of a lift from the entralink to Nuvema, but what do you know, the 'bird god' was dropped down by a bird and left to his own designs.

Actually, he really was too proud, and managed to fly a few scores of kilometres before just about collapsing mid-air due to a lack of power. He only recovered a short time before being dropped off, and if the still present scowl on his face is any sign, he's still not entirely over it.

"Hmph!"

Despite looking like some sort of monster, this figure seems to give off an almost regal air; he holds himself with a straightened posture, and if any of the town's inhabitants look at him oddly their response is an orange eyed 'look' of indiscernible motive- though it's assumed to be some sort of glare.

Overall he seems to be ignoring just about everyone, though that's not necessarily the reaction for the pokemon in the area; it would appear that a small colony of local bird pokemon are gathering on the rooftops nearest to him, though if he noticed, he hasn't shown it.

Eventually he comes to stop and stand at the railing overlooking the sea, arms crossed as he looks out to the waters in silence.

Do be careful if you decide to disturb him.

There wasn't a particularly good reason that Hazel decided to get transport all the way back here. Really she was just bored with Nimbasa but, wasn't feeling like moving on to later areas until she was able to get the contest results. At least here she was pretty sure she wouldn't run into anything really dangerous.

She's just going to let a few of her Pokémon out to stretch for a bit. They won't wander far but, they're not too far from the railing by the sea at the moment.

Hope you don't mind the six foot puppy that will be sniffing at you in a minute or so. Curious puppy has at least been taught that greeting strangers with a pounce is not a thing he should do.

~~Your puppy found something taller than him!~~

"Mn?!" Jack just noticed this 'puppy', and he's now eyeing it with mixed opinions. It's a huge tiger-striped puppy after all, who wouldn't.

His continued reaction will depend entirely on what you do next, 'puppy'.

Wow. Strange looking person seems like he might need some cheering up. Does he want to play? Hazel told him not to pounce but it was the best thing ever to start someone else playing.

Lucky you his trainer starts calling him before he can do more than think of it.

"Zaaack." Hurrying to look for him because not quite sure the no pouncing strangers rule will be followed yet. She looks less worried when he's in sight and obviously not pinning anyone to the ground. "I hope you're not bothering..." And really noticing the person he's next to. She can't help staring a little. "...anyone." Yeah. Never seen anyone like you before.

Zack pouts for a second. He's not a bother. Really. Just still a puppy at heart.

Admittedly Jack was ignoring Hazel for the most part, and actually already hesitantly reaching a clawed hand over to scratch Zack's head. Because come ON, it's a giant dog-

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this picture and his expression when he hears you coming (not to mention catches you staring, Hazel), more or less says that if you decide otherwise he will react badly.

Hazel stop staring. It's rude.

"Um..." Realizing she's staring a bit too long and trying to think of something to say. "You must be new."

Glancing at Zack who is being himself and not having any problem with strangers as long as they're not being mean.

"He um... doesn't bite." Unless he thinks you deserve it but, no need to say that. It takes a lot for Zack to think you deserve to be bitten.

Zack is looking at you in what he hopes is a friendly way. He's always up for head scratches.

Get ready for the best head scratches ever then Zack because you are getting the best head scratches EVER.

At any rate Jack stares for a few moments more before seeming to snort. "Hn!" As if he'd be worried about that!!

Meanwhile, his tepig is giving little squeals and running over. Look look a new person! A new person who isn't attempting to get as far from her trainer as possible, what a nice change!

Zack leans into the scratches, his tail wagging slightly. Not that Hazel doesn't give good head scratches but, sometimes he likes not having to crouch down so she can reach.

Hazel takes it as a sign that the stranger isn't immediately hostile at least. The happy looking Tepig doesn't hurt either. She'll give the little Pokémon a gentle head pat. She's feeling rather awkward though. Not really used to trying to talk to someone who doesn't seem inclined to talk back.

"Um..." No, it would be rude to ask what he is. Must say something else. "Did you just get here today?"

Miss Tepiggy quite enjoys that head pat- "Pii piii piiiiii!~"

Jack in the meantime pauses the head scratching at that 'um', narrowing his eyes. Anddddd the question of the day IS-

...Oh.

"Yes." Back to head scratching and ultra-cheery GIANT DOG.

She'll keep with the head patting since the critter seems to enjoy it so much. At least until one of the other Pokémon she let out(Cloud) decides to interrupt by coming over and looking at her in way that might be saying 'Why aren't you where I left you and why are you petting strange Pokémon?' She doesn't really get that though and ~~this is when Cloud decides he needs to work on telepathy.~~ just gives him ear scratches since he's there.

"Weird, isn't it? But kinda nice in some ways." She really likes the Pokémon so far. Who wouldn't love a giant puppy after all? It would just be a lot nicer if she wasn't missing her family.

Another nod. "Hn. I suppose."

Someone needs to make this guy open up, holy crap.

Jack, your people skills are worse than ever before!

And meanwhile- Oh hello there 'Cloud', have you met Miss Tepiggy? Not that Jack would have been the one to give her that name.

But seeing how he didn't bother with a name, Miss Tepiggy has named herself.

Not going to ask the obvious question of 'don't talk much, do you?'.

Hazel's not so good with the opening up thing herself but, at least she tries. Would be silly not to do that much with the way Zack will just go up to anyone.

"Well, the Pokémon are a lot nicer than the monsters I've seen at home." Just making conversation since Zack doesn't seem inclined to leave and somehow awkward conversation seems better than awkward silence at the moment.

Cloud is going to just say something to Tepig that's been on his mind since he came over here. 'Your trainer is weird.'. He's being blunt but, there's no hostility.

Miss Tepiggy's reply is 'true, but the birds really like him!'

Indeed, many of the bird pokemon are twittering about gods and kings right now.

Jack doesn't hear them though- and in fact, when Hazel mentions 'monsters', he turns with a jolt. "Monsters?!" What what, what kind of world are you even from!?

Cloud did notice the birds. 'Seems he's ignoring them though.'

Hazel, you need to remember that not everyone considers monsters roaming the wilderness normal. "Yeah um... I guess not everyone has to deal with such things." Not that she's had to do so by herself more than a couple times... and dealing with it just meant 'set it on fire and run' for her.
