Twitch Plaze Blazed Glazed 35: What do you mean, it’s been two months?

Where we last left our honey of a heroine, I said “Helixdomit” and “To be continued.” Helixdomit was right, as it’s been two whole months since our last entry. Hoo boy, do I have some catching up to do.

Confession time: I actually lost my place and had to find it again.

Also confession time: I may have been a bit confused as to whether we had puzzle democracy or regular democracy in the store. I apologize for any misleading, as I still don’t quite know how that democracy worked.

What I do know is that we spent some time in the menu in Anarchy, looking at out Shroomish and rearranging her moves. Gosh, she’s a smart one. (But then, she should be. She’s all head.)

Finally Democracy activates.

We look at Hugbug. I now have a mental image of a skull with ladybug wings.

The Voices move Rollout to the top, because that’s a traditionally awesome move for the Voices to use. “Multiple hits! It keeps doing damage!”

The Voices then move Hugbug up to the top slot to be sent out first in battle, because she needs experience. BBC the Mightyena is switched with Battery Shroom, because Battery Shroom needs experience as well.

And then we get back to Anarchy Store mode.

...you know what, I’m not sure I want to know.

Still not sure I want to know.

Anyhoo, I’m not going to bother to screencap overly repetitive scenes, but we do the first step of the Lighthouse Challenge, then turn around and go back before we can complete it. But the guy lets us go back in with our initial win still counting, so it’s no big deal.

To make a long story short, we win, and we get an Eevee.

We then basically wander around until this happens.

Since obviously black-out healing isn’t going to work on a Level 40 Torterra surrounded by small fry, the Mob finds a healing area without a PC. (Now, why would they do that? Hehehehehe...)

Wait, who thinks that? I mean, literally. Who thinks THAT.

OOC: This is me at the library. Sometimes. Other times, I know exactly what I’m after (especially if it’s Discworld).

Aw, man... but it’s not like anyone else is using them! Aren’t they lonely in there?

And after much meandering, we head back into the plant.

To be continued...

[hoenn-hakase]

What am I even doing anymore? XD

So over on the TPP subreddit, a particular comic artist that I love was complaining how there’s no “official artwork” for Team Fusion from the romhack we played called Pokemon Blazed Glazed. Obviously I’m no artist, and obviously this still has some issues, but here’s some edits for Michael and Regina, the leaders for Team Fusion in the game. Might do the others (Henri, and Fusion grunts) later, but this seems... okay for now.

Twitch Plaze Blazed Glazed 33: Just Go With The Flo

When we last left our honey of a heroine, she just came back from another dimension, where she met Luke, one of Luke’s friends, and a shiba that was definitely not an Uxie. 

But don’t worry -- she’s back in the REAL world again.

Will the Poke Mart be her first stop?

Apparently not, as she’s headed over to “Soheal’s Strait.” I’m not sure if that’s supposed to mean something or if it’s a corruption of “Spheal’s Strait”, but either way, it doesn’t look like the kind of place a Spheal would hang out, so it still doesn’t make sense.

Okay, THIS looks more like Spheal territory. But not knowing Surf, we head back and checkpoint at the Pokemon Center.

“...are delicious...”

Yes, it’s weird that an entire region’s name is donut backwards.

As we head in the direction of the Seaspray Dam to presumably finally deliver that package, Honey gets roped into a double battle.

It’s against Beauty Gabrielle and Youngster Joey. Notably, Joey is trying to impress Gabrielle so she’ll go out with him. The chat didn’t seem to notice at the time, but now that I’ve written it down, I can already hear the TPP headcanon triggers going off.

And yes, this Joey has a Rattata. Sorry, no loophole. He also has a Taillow, btw, and Gabriella has a Pidgeotto and Clefairy.

After the fight, Gabriella informs us that the Seaspray Dam provides renewable energy to the entire Tunod region. Hmm... if I were an evil electric rodent seeking to do bad things and stop the plans of anyone trying to stop me, I’d probably make a stop there. 

Just saying.

Yeah, I’d say things aren’t looking real great for AJ.

After wandering into some tall grass, Honey does some badge farming.

This Houndour has no name, and isn’t the same as the one Honey eventually adds to her team... but shh, spoilers.

There’s also Growlithe, Pikachu, Marill, and Mareep in this tall grass. 

Quite frankly, my dear, I... think the joke is just too obvious. 

He thinks otherwise, though, claiming that the dam fills him with glee.

Welcome to Seaspray Dam. Who wants to bet that some sort of hostile takeover is going to happen here?

See? The nice man is giving us a warning. Or maybe he just doesn’t want our sticky fingers on all the machinery. Or maybe he and the other guy are going to challenge Honey to a Double Battle. 

Which they do. She wins.

This guy informs us that nobody is allowed on the upper floor. Given how much effort Honey went to to try to get the elevator into the Penthouse despite not having the key, I don’t think she’ll listen.

She doesn’t. Either despite her dad’s advice, or because of it. I guess she thinks this is the time and place for breaking rules.

It seems like the flow of the electricity determines where Honey can walk and where she can’t. It also seems like the water is flowing straight off the edge of the endless void of the fourth wall.

“And now is not the time or place to electrocute yourself.”

Aha! I knew something was up here! Even if that something is merely supply and demand, and thus simple economic problems...

Although when said demand is for regionwide electricity, and said supply is in finite numbers, I guess it’s pretty serious. Still simple, but serious.

And this is where the lag bites us, and Honey spaces out again.

What is this person saying? “Evening”? “Every”? By the time the Stream picks back up, this is what Honey hears:

“...needs of Tunod...”

Yep, it’s economics. Simple, potentially devastating economics.

Seems safe enough for you, uh... sir? Madam? 

The lag returns, and Honey’s ability to completely blank out to what people are saying strikes again. This next scene goes by pretty quickly, but I managed to capture the split second:

“...need, kid, I’m busy.”

Honey, who by now is used to snappy women being rude to her, hands Flo the sensor that Professor Willow gave her.

Whatever Flo says next, Honey appears to tune her out. Possibly the talk got way too technical for her. By the time the stream picks back up, Flo’s at this point of talking:

Honey affirms this.

Sure, Honey is used to doing favors for rude people.

And Honey phases out again. Her mind’s elsewhere. Possibly the human world, the one without Pokemon... possibly just thinking about Luke, and wondering if that ‘friend’ of his is his girlfriend, and if not, if he’s available.

Eventually Flo commands her attention back.

Say, Tongo’s sort of a greenish-blue Gem... 

OOC: Bill here is referring to Tongo the Lil’ Monster, who was born from the Nail Gem during the pre-Chatty Yellow intermission game “Lil’ Monster”. In some TPP canons, notably those of N8, Pioxys, Emoji_Master, and the author, Lil’ Monsters are the children of the fossil deities of the TPP universe, and as such are sort of deities themselves. 

Tongo was considered to be the child of Sail (Connections) and Plume (Technology, Cheating/Hacks), and the author considers him as the fossil of dreams, imagination, reality paradoxes, and pirated ROMs, and as largely (or at least partially) responsible for all the dimension-hopping that Monster Rancher host Aya did during the pre-Chatty Yellow intemission. This dimension-hopping broke the universe to the point in which the Voices and Emotes were literally everywhere all over Kanto by the beginning of Chatty Yellow, and even the major trainers were transformed into Emote-headed abominations.

But to be fair, Tongo had been pretty much kidnapped by a guy named  '666fR that he couldn’t stand, so maybe it wasn’t his fault. Maybe.

ahem But, anyway, back to Honey:

She tells us to take the card to pass through the corridor that the guards are blocking, and to “HURRY UP!”

Yeesh. Rude, lady, rude. Yelling at people isn’t cool. Yelling at disabled people is less cool. Yelling at disabled people with hidden reality-warping superpowers is likely to get you in all sorts of troubles later on, especially when and if you have to fight them for a gym challenge.

But in the meantime, Honey has a job.

To be continued...

OOC: I now imagine this song mashup to be Honey’s theme. Funny how her greatest asset -- her dimensional powers -- seem to be hindering her ability to function as a normal person, because she’s always halfway in another world. As a woman with invisible illnesses and oversensitivity issues, I feel I can relate to that. Honey, so far, seems to be very much like me IRL.

[rememberthemonster]

Just something I worked on to sum up our Blazed Glazed run so far.

Also, on behalf of this blog’s titular character:

(Yes, Blazed Glazed has an area called Milkshake Swamp. Heck knows why.)

[rememberthemonster]

Our group again. (Aiden = A10 = ten A’s in its name, and nothing else.)

Honey GLITched: A Whole New World

Honey:

[No rain this time, but as she opens her eyes, she can see that she’s gone from being at the edge of a quiet bay area to the middle of a large residential area with no water in sight. No one seems to have noticed her yet, despite the fact she can see kids playing in fenced areas, and a couple of people hanging out in front of their houses. She looks down at her hands and confirms she seems pretty solid.] I m-must have slipped again…

[It didn’t make sense though since, at least as far as she knew, Team Fusion wasn’t anywhere in the Seaspray area! Unless Chelle had something to do with it, but that seemed unlikely. No reason to panic, it would only cause a scene. After waiting for Luke to show up though, there came a loud honk behind her causing her to jump. Oh, a car! She hadn't expected to see one of those outside of the city before! The driver gave her a wave and motioned for her to step aside. Honey had no choice but to quietly and nervously move from the safety of her gateway again. Without Luke.]

Honey:

[As she started to walk down the the street, too timid to stray too far yet, she began to take note of the neighborhood. There were more cars than expected, some even sitting right in front of people‘s houses. She also realized the distinct lack of Pokemon sounds from anywhere nearby, or even in sight. Maybe the town had a restriction on keeping them out of their Poke Balls? But there were plenty of fences, so… As she wandered in a bit of a daze, it took her a few minutes to see that there was at least ONE Pokemon in the area, a Poochyena the old man beside it had on a long blue string.] Awww, a Poochyena~! I’ve never seen one that color before.

Man:

[Smiles at the girl] Ah, not afraid then? I’m surprised you even have a guess to what it is. I’m not sure what he is. Bit of a mutt I found a couple of weeks back. He’s friendly though, do you want to pet him?

Honey:

Um… sure? [After kneeling down in front of “him” though, she can’t help but notice there’s something really “off” about the dog but she still can’t pinpoint what. Poor little thing seemed to be blind as his eyes naturally tried to stay shut, and the sliver she could see held a glossy hollowness similar to a doll’s eyes.] Did you get lost, little one?

Uxie:

[Was surprised to hear someone remembers the species’ name, and curiously sniffs the girl over. It’s voice doesn’t come out loud like usual, but instead speaks directly into her mind.] I’m not lost. I can tell you shouldn’t be here though. [Gets up on the illusion’s hind legs to place both front paws in her hands. It looks down the street from them] I can sense the house you’re looking for would be two doors down that way.

Honey:

[looks down the street as well] Oh! I think I’ve been going the wrong the way.

Man:

Where you off to? I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before.

Honey:

Um… I… think it’s two doors down? I’m not familiar with the neighborhood, but I’m looking for… my, uh, my cousin! Luke. Have you seen him today?

Man:

[Uh...huh. What an odd girl. As he follows her gaze up the street, that is Yate’s house she seems to looking for. Gives her a bit of a smile.] Sounds like you’ve got the right place. I just saw him pass here, a couple of times actually. I think he’s looking for something too.

Honey:

[Whew, good thing the dog knew then. Speaking of…] Okay, thanks! Bye, shiny pooch~! [Runs her hand playfully between it’s pointed ears as she loved to do with BBC. The dog gives an odd high-pitched bark as she starts to leave and she notices something almost shine in the road. It….it’s a whole set of keys on a silver ring. One of them even has a tag on it. Musing to herself as she heads over the bridge and flips through them] RAM, Westlock, Locke Tight... I guess I need these to get inside the houses…

Luke:

[As odd as it was to overhear that soft musing of home invasion, it’s even more odd to realize he recognizes that voice. Turns to see the girl in pink wandering down his street] …. Helixdomit. [hurries over to her before she gets herself in trouble] Honey! Honey, what are you doing here?!

Honey:

[Brightens up] Luke! I’m so glad I found you~!

Luke:

[Realizes that, even worse, it’s HIS keys she’s managed to pick up] And I’m glad you found those. [takes them from her] I don’t mean to be rude, but we’ve got to get you back as quickly as possible.

Honey:

Why?

Luke:

B-because you just can’t-! Look, it’s one thing when it’s just us, but this is my house. If you things start showing up here, I can’t hide that!

Honey:

Things?! [He gently takes her by the arm to lead her down the street, but she just as quickly pulls away from him again.] Luke! What is going on? Did you find out something? Is that why you're freaking out now? Why don't you just tell me?

Luke:

[Trying to hold back his panic, his voice comes out in a slight squeak as he hisses at her between clenched teeth.] I just said, but you still---- gah! [Still keeping his voice low, he gives a glance around before going to unlock the door.] Fine. Let’s at least go inside. We’ll probably be in trouble when you get home, but fine.

=+=

[The house is quite dark once they get inside, despite all of its windows seen from the outside, and Honey finds herself gazing over the unusual layout as Luke makes his way from room to room and flips on the lights. His voice echoes as he calls for anyone else possibly in the building. There’s quite a few movies stacked by the television, but on the coffee table, it seems Luke had been watching some old documentaries. Old enough to require a different device than those with the shinier covers, and apparently all featuring the same rugged looking blond that likely hosted them. She also realizes there's a whole array of pictures sitting on a bookshelf, while a few more hang on the walls. Someone was quite the avid photographer. Images that only seem to contain people and lovely, though empty, landscapes. …One in particular catches her eye though as she slowly walks over and takes it down from the wall.]

Honey:

[She’d been staring at it for a while when he returned with the all clear, as she was still unsure she wasn’t just imagining it.] Hey, Luke? [He glances over at her as she finds herself starting to tremble at the eeriness of it. Turns the picture in hand around so he can see what photo she’s talking about] Why do you have a picture of my grandparents on your wall?

Luke:

YOUR grandparents? [Stares at it as he walks over, half in a huff at her apparent need to go touching things when she wasn’t even really invited in to begin with. As it’s a group photo, he starts to ask who she means. It was pretty old, a picture of his grandparents along with several old friends of the family when they were younger. He looks up at Honey though and realizes she does bear a bit of resemblance to the blonde woman with an arm around his grandmother’s shoulders. But… that shouldn’t have been possible, should it?]

Honey:

Yeah, they have this exact same photo at their house. [points at the woman as well.] That’s my grandmother. And up here is my grandfather and-

Luke:

I uh… I don’t know. [Takes it from her to get a better look. Goes to hang it up.] Neither of our families would would have been around for the Great Catastrophe to have met, so unless they figured out a way to travel between the two worlds…. [His eyes light up with the realization as he remembers something rather important.] The chick in the picture- you’re sure that’s your grandma? Was your grandmother a woman named Lillie?

Honey:

[Confused by the sudden question, but she’s unsure what to make of his expression.] ...Yes? I know my dad gives my mom a hard time about our family’s history, but my grandmother really did disappear for several months when she was about twelve years old. Supposedly she was off in another world until a friend of hers was able to help her get back.

Luke:

And your last name, your family name, whatever. Is it Niles?

Honey:

Nigel Niles was my grandfather? [Brightens a bit as she’d never properly introduced herself before.] My name is Honey Glazed though-

Luke:

[Mildly amused] I am so sorry.

Honey:

[Soft huff at him] It’s Ahuni Glazed, but my family has always called me Honey. My mom’s name changed when she got married. It’s not weird back home, but what does my name have to do with what you found out?

Luke:

Mostly because I may act like I know everything since I’ve been doing this longer than you; and learned to control the ability to slip between worlds; but I’ve been discovering that I really don’t.

Honey:

Don’t have control, or don’t know everything? Because if you have some tips to help me stop walking through walls, that’d be great. [Although it was nice to know that the ability could be controlled after a while.]

Luke:

Walk through… Wait… What?

Honey:

[Rather bewildered as she might still be crazy yet] You don’t have that problem? Signs, boats, potted plants, I’ve had a lot over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes reality just seems to implode on itself.

Luke:

[Eying her warily, not because he doesn’t believe her, but because it’s worrisome for himself that this could still happen to him.] Um…. No? I just sometimes slip between worlds. I think I’m starting to get an idea as to why you might though… Here, you might want to sit for this.

Honey:

[Doesn’t like the look he was giving her, and slowly moves over to the couch to sit down]

Luke:

Hooooo ‘kay then. So where we are now is what I call The Real World. [Holds up a hand to stop her from asking] It was discovered during The Great Catastrophe that a second world exists completely contained within a machine. Some kind of virtual world-- More like a simulator of our own. Do you guys even have those? [waves it off] Point is, your world was created some time before my world even knew about it, and we only found out about it when some madman somehow opened the box and caused your kind to come spilling out into the [air quotes] “Real World.” It’s just… you’re still in a computer. And as far as my world is concerned, beings from your world are a threat because they’re not natural. It’s why we can’t risk having you show up in public like this, because I can’t have people looking into this, it’s not safe. But honestly, if you guys are able to get out here in the first place, you’ve gotta have some kind of divine backing that makes you as real as we are.

Honey:

… … … So the reason everything around me likes to go completely haywire is because… it’s... a…Glitch?

Luke:

…. Yes…. [Guess she got caught up on the computer thing, but honestly, he doesn’t blame her.] The more important reason we shouldn’t stay long in the others’ world is because I don’t know how that affects the connection. That was part of problem with The Great Catastrophe. Ever since then, sometimes when things happen in one world, it reflects on the other. You being here means you’re missing from the simulator’s programming. Me falling into your world would also mess up the programming since I’m an anomaly.

Honey:

In my world, we’ve always said that the gods had things predetermined for many of us, but I’ve noticed lately that there’s literally some people and places I can’t avoid. But! Just before I came here, something different happened. I actually got to talk to the girl and-

Luke:

Oh gods please tell me you haven’t reached a point of awareness you’ve started to manipulate the game.

Honey:

If I have, it’s certainly not on purpose! I can’t even figure out how to control myself, let alone anyone else. And my people seem to laugh at the idea of there being a world outside our own. [Suddenly remembers what Blake said back when he brought it up] Although there’s apparently a group right now that’s been studying parallel worlds….

Luke:

That could be serious, serious trouble then if they are. [Starts to pace the length of the coffee table as just thinking about it is getting him all worked up, let alone having to admit his fears] See, the worlds were never meant to be connected, not like this anyway. Connected, but at a distance. It seems now there’s a very powerful force at work that’s been bringing them dangerously close to each other. Almost like the two worlds are trying to merge again! And, and, and I hate to say this but I’m worried that-- even if I have no control over it -- I caused you to glitch when we first ran into each other. That wasn’t supposed to happen, I’ve knocked you off-script. AND-! [stops long enough to look to her] Even if you’re the only person to accidentally come over here, it’s been getting worse. The slips have been happening more frequently, and I’ve spent a lot of time lately trying to get all of the loose Pokemon back into your world. We can’t have another Catastrophe, Honey, I can’t handle it. I can barely handle things on my own right now.

Honey:

[As there’s over a thousand things she wants to comment on, or start asking him about, it hurts her to see him like this. Every time they’d met before, he’d always been so calm and sure of the situation it’s strange to see him so scared. Tries to give him a smile.] But… you’re not doing this on your own, that’s what you have me for. And, um… Just because things are unstable right now, doesn’t mean it’s going to get that bad. [Points over to the picture they’d been looking over back on the wall] I wouldn’t blame yourself for things either, since obviously it’s happened before. We don’t even know who made the jump in the first place, but that picture had to come from one side or the other, right?

Luke:

… [Sighs] True, but I think it’s because back then all of our relatives had to have the aid of a Legendary to make the jump. We just started doing it naturally. Although, after it happened the first time, I started digging through Pops’ old stuff to see if I could find out what the hell happened to me. [Looks to her] Back when my grandfather was a trainer, the term they used was Faller.

Honey:

And we’re Fallers because we’ve “fallen” out of our worlds.

Luke:

I guess? Except there’s usually a catch. A Faller is apparently someone who has managed to enter the Void, it’s like the abyss that separates our worlds, or something. Home to such creatures that can’t be categorized as Pokemon. We bridged the gap just fine, but we still had to pass through it. Not everyone is so lucky. Well, when a human goes to these “inbetween worlds,” it can really mess them up; screwing with memories, genetics, painting a large target on them that tells the creatures of the Void to hone in on them like a beacon, who knows what else. But since Pops and Lillie entered what he called the Ultra Space with the aide of a very powerful Pokemon, they weren’t nearly as messed up as others have been.

Honey:

[corrects him] And Nigel. So, don’t you think our tendency to slip could have carried down to me instead of you supposedly dragging me into this?

Luke:

[Softly nods] And it might be why I started falling in the first place....

Honey:

[Atta boy~!] What about my mother then? Or your parents even? Do you think we could ask them for help with all of this?

Luke:

Well, as I told you the first time, since you’ve already done it once, it’ll probably keep happening. If she hasn’t had it happen yet, she’s probably still unaware of all this. I know I’m worried any time my dad is out of the house, but it’s possible they still could. Worst part is, I’m starting to get the feeling we’re not the only ones aware of this. The only ones slipping between worlds, but I think a few people around here have started to pick up on my leaving.

Honey:

Then we should at least ask them about the Legendary Pokemon. If they’re able to travel between worlds, then it’s possible one of them is behind the merging, right?

Luke:

Except that would require me to go to your world.

Honey:

I don’t see why you’d have to. After all, if your grandfather had the aide of a Legendary, then we can’t just assume the trouble is only on my side.

Luke:

[Shyly glances away as he’s not sure how to tell her] He did… But it’s not possible anymore for our side to cause trouble because Pokemon no longer exist here.

Honey:

[She just stares at him a moment about how crazy that seemed.] How is that even possible? I just saw one down the street. And what about the Mudkip?

Luke:

……. [Sighs again as that’s yet another he’ll have to track down and send back, but he makes a mental note to look into that later.] They came from your world. I’m still trying to investigate what happened, but here… they just all vanished I guess. The people here haven’t known about Pokemon for over a generation, or mock those who still talk about them, so I haven’t had much luck besides just looking around on my own. They keep showing up here in our world, but if people found out about them… I can’t let that happen.

Honey:

[Confused as all she can think about is the nice old man she met earlier] Or else… what?

Luke:

Remember how I said what happens in one world can sometimes affect the other? If we’re not careful, whatever caused them to disappear from here may happen on your side too… [Just shakes his head at her] But on that note, can I ask you a big, big favor? Can you report anything you find back to me? People, Pokemon, anything that could be of help. We need to get to the bottom of all this quick or things are going to get dire.

Honey:

How am I supposed to get it to you though?

Luke:

Write me a letter or something, I’m sure you’ll pop up here again. Right now, let’s try to see if you can open the gateway on your own this time. If you go back to where you came in, it should still be there.

Honey:

Can you not just come with me?

Luke:

…. … … [It sure is tempting, but no. If he suddenly disappeared for the long journey, his dad would probably assume the worst had happened. Shakes his head] Last time I was over there, I noticed my world seems to have the better archives. I’ve got a lot of work to do before we meet again. [He gives a last, thoughtful gaze about his house as something else seems to be weighing on his mind] A lot more questions too… I’ll walk you to the door and make sure you make it back.

Honey:

Hm… I guess I’ll see you whenever then. Just hang in there, we’ll figure things out. Okay?

Luke:

Thanks… And be careful out there, I’ve got a bad feeling about all of this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Whoohoo! I'm glad it all fit. Now who wants some F 0 R C E L 0 R E for breakfast? 8D -shot-

Apologies for info dumping, but seeing as Luke is /technically/ the one always responsible for explaining things, it had to come up somewhere. ... But his in-game dialogue is either always vague or repetitive, so you all get this. I wasn't kidding when I said that BG has probably been the one run that's helped me straighten out my entire timeline, so.... again, I apologize in advance |D;;

Honey GLITched: Off Script

[Professor Willow was surprisingly understanding about the delivery delay once Honey explained about their misadventures on the Haunted Isle. Perhaps it was because he seemed to already know of the dangers and abnormalities when he sent them there, or maybe she just felt better about talking after her chat with Blake, but Honey found herself telling him everything that happened with the “illusions” included. A very mysterious place indeed. More importantly though was the fact that Team Fusion had escaped with their leader now known to their little triad.]

Willow:

And you say this only started on Haunted Isle?

Honey:

[The tone of intrigue and suspicion to his tone only surprised her all the more.] Um… yes? Of course, it wouldn't make sense for it to happen anywhere else, since you said Haunted Isle is kind of known for messing with people's brains.

Willow:

[Seems to think about that for a moment before giving her a somewhat uncertain shrug.] I suppose so then. I suggest you take off for the rest of the day as, if time really does pass differently on the isle, you’ve had a full day already. Don't you worry about Ms. Flo, she’s not even looking for me yet.

Honey:

Are you sure you're alright, Professor?

Willow:

A bit absent minded lately, but we’ve had a lot of work to keep track of too. I appreciate the concern, but you take care of yourself first. And if you see Blake before I do, would you tell him to come by? I would like to hear his side of the story as well.

Honey:

Oh, um… sure I guess. But he never made it off the beach, so I don’t know how much help it would be.

Willow:

[Amused] You act as though he’s going to get you in trouble. It’s alright, Honey, anything you say here will stay between you and me. I just always like to draw in as much help as possible, especially on a case as strange as this one. The more people who input on a project, the more we can see of the big picture. [Can still see this is somewhat bothering her] Of course… that doesn’t mean you have to go enlisting people for me, but I would suggest you accept help whenever it presents itself. One can never have too many allies, I would think.

Honey:

I’ll try to keep that in mind. [Gives him a half-hearted smile] Thanks, Professor.

Willow:

I’m always here to help if you need me. Just let me know when you reach the dam, alright?

Honey:

Don’t worry, I will~!

[Despite the vote of confidence, Honey still couldn’t bring herself to talk to her parents about the strange happenings there on the Haunted Isle. It was less from the fear they wouldn’t believe her, but that they actually would. Even if she was more than old enough to strike out on her own, some small voice within her wondered if they’d tell her to stay away from Blake or Professor Willow after all the danger she’d been going through. It was… kind of exciting really now that she was getting more used to it all. And even with how scary everything had been, Honey found herself starting to wonder just what might happen once she reached Seaspray Town. As she tried to go to sleep that night, her mind continued to buzz with visions of a massive river and the gym battle ahead. What adventures could she expect next?]

=+=

[Of course, passing through Serenity Isle, fate deemed that she hadn’t had quite enough of rude women for the week as she finally made her way to Seaspray Town! For the first time, for the third time, however time even worked anymore considering she knew exactly what to expect THIS time when she got off the boat.]

Honey:

Chelle?

Chelle:

Well hey there, Honey! Fancy meeting you all the way out here! Off to get your third badge? [Puffs up with snide pride as she places a hand to her chest] I beat both Terry and Spark with only my Bayleef, it was a total piece of cake! And Flo was no real challenge either. Shame for you though, she’s busy now with the dam. Why don’t you take me on instead?

Honey:

[Patiently waits for her to finish without interruption as she’d learned before it was no use trying.] Actually, I need to go to the dam anyway for a delivery. I’m in no hurry.

Chelle:

No hurry? But who am I going to race if you're not even trying?

Honey:

[Honestly surprised she got a chance to get in a word this time as the previous run-ins-that-apparently-never-happened proved that no wasn’t an option. Honey was more than ready to take this smug little green girl down. Something had changed. She gives a moment of thought before brightening up.] There’s a boy I’ve been running into named Percy. He’s got a Cyndaquil he runs around with and likes to call me his rival.

Chelle:

Sounds like a pain. [Grins] Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for him. But hey, since we're here now, how about a quick battle to get us pumped up?

Honey:

[Smiles as she feels they're finally getting to know each other now.] Sure!

[If Chelle thought her starter was hot stuff, she hadn’t seen anything once Honey’s newly evolved big buddy, Sap, took the field. The rest of the match was almost a joke.]

Chelle:

[Recalling her Frogadier] Wooow! Good thing for you, my Pokemon were still tired after the gym battle.

Honey:

[Playfully] I’m sure you're right. Speaking of, could you tell me where the dam is?

Chelle:

[Places hands on her hips and stoops forward] You’ll just have to find Flo like the rest of us. I’m on my way to Stormy City for my next gym badge!

Honey:

[A bit of a giggle as she should have expected that.] Good luck then! Tell Percy hi for me! [After Chelle is gone though, she leans down to give Sap a gentle pat] How do we keep finding these people anyway?

Sap:

I don’t know, but I’ve an odd feeling there should be a third one showing up somewhere. [also heaves a soft little sigh, but it’s more from relief than anything] Do you mind checkpointing in Seaspray Town before I faint this time?

Honey:

[Bit of a giggle] Hey, I’ve gotten better about that. Here, take it easy. [recalls him.]

[As she starts to make her way along the concrete dock, she starts humming to herself in confidence. Blake and Professor Willow and her parents were going to be so surprised to see how her team was shaping up in such a small amount of time. She was feeling quite proud of them too~! Her gentle air of bliss was suddenly cut short though when she thought she saw a flicker.

Honey paused and tried to look around as it seemed like the ground beneath her was shaking. That was normal for a dock though, right? Just bobbing with the waves? Much as she tried to convince herself of that, she knew better by now. The light flashed again and all the girl could think to do was brace herself for the inevitable as the world she knew disappeared into the surrounding white.]

A/N: Wheeee transition chapter! This one is a bit short but mostly because the next one... is a bit of a doozy. It's time to L0RE >O

In the meantime though, Chelle is... kind of interesting. I can't remember, but I don't think we face her again after this because the next time we run into her iirc was an optional battle we decided not to do, so she was sort of an in-your-face rival who just as suddenly... stopped. It's nice to give a reason (as well as seeing the girls get along. Really, Honey, you have like NO gal pals, what gives? XD )
