united_one | EVENT - October Plot Stuff Part One

It's the early morning, after the eggs have hatched. How fun - I hope you all love your new Pokemon friends.

But that is not what this post is about. Oh, no. It's going to prove something to all of you.

Namely, the fact that NPCs can use this network as well. They can use it for all sorts of purposes - like sending out a text to all the newbies. Like this one here - sent from the formal parts of the Nacrene Gym! Whatever could it be? Well, read on...

Dear trainers;

This letter is to invite all of you to an archaeological dig in the Relic Castle, beginning in four days.

Us Gym Leaders have been watching you since you were attacked by those Pokemon around a month ago. Before then, those Pokemon had not stirred from their places in the various ruins of Unova. You're all something special - and that may not extend to just summoning Pokemon who have not been seen in many years.

The dig is to investigate reports of a strange stone, buried at the bottom of the Relic Castle. Many reports have poured in from trainers - the main parts of the ruins have been closed to the public for a while, due to them. We've looked before, but now it seems that things are changing in this region.

And that is why we are inviting you to come along. Transport will be provided, as well as protection from the elements. If any issues come up during the dig, us at the Nacrene Gym will take all responsibility for it - there is no need for panic.

We will be starting the trip to the ruins in two days - and the trip shall be sped up by our transportation. If you wish to come, reply by then.

Please note that during this time, the Nacrene Museum and Gym will be closed, as nobody will be there. We apologize for the inconvinience, but this may be one of the biggest finds of the century.

Yours sincerely;
Nacrene Gym

Well. You've got two days to talk it over with others - it seems the channel is still open, but there won't be replies from the gym. But you can still use it as a public talking ground thing with friends! |D

Joy...?

((OOC: This is part one of the event - just getting people going! In two days, I'll be putting up another post, for the travel [which is also just a shortthing] - but backtagging is encouraged for all of these things. And stuff. [We will need backtagging for the exploring won't we :p]

I'll also be putting up my plans for the whole dig in the OOC comm within the next few days.))

[HERE HAVE A DRAGONITE.

And her freaky ghost Duskull thing. Watching. From nearby.]
You're not fighting? [gosh it's like dragonite is the only one in the group who defaults to attacking stuff.

Also, you may notice that just near to her, there's a thin-looking Meowth - and Dragonite isn't attacking it. There will be a post about that as soon as I finish art for it.]

Well, what the heck am I supposed to do besides--

[The Croagunk jumps forward again and attempts what seems to be an Astonish on the pillow. Nothing actually happens, but it's enough to make Paprika yelp a bit and bonk him on the head with said pillow, albeit gently.]

--that? I mean, beating him up would kinda be a dick move, right?

If they fight, you fight back. It's simple.

Well, uh, considering he's the one that's gonna open up a can of whup-ass on me instead of the other way around, I'm probably not gonna be able to do much...

[The Croagunk makes a sound that's probably meant to pass for a giggle in concurrence--for a newborn, he's picked up on Paprika's total incompetence awfully quickly.]

Then... [Dragonite has that look in her eyes. That fighting look. Oh dear. With a sharp nod, she suddenly leaps into the room, towards Croagunk. Hey, a fights a fight. It's not like she cares for you yet. (Or maybe she does.)]

[OH HOLY BALLS WHAT NO]

Hey, wait a sec--!

[Poor Croagunk may be a troublemaker, but he's still fresh out of the egg and stands a snowball's chance in hell here.]

[And now you've got one (1) pinned down Croagunk. Dragonite, however, isn't fighting more. However, she is growling at it.]
If you try and attack this Paprika [okay so she thinks your name is your species and what is multiple humans] again, I'll eat you alive. Got it?
