Just Tourist Things || Selene & Alarana

[wheredragonsreign-blog]

twintulips:

Alarana had been strolling around Hau’oli for quite a while now, looking for something fun to do. She had already hit all the major shopping centers for their take on fashion, and the whole tourist aesthetic was pretty nice. She was absolutely in love with the way they did skirts, and snagged a few for herself, and a couple for her sister. She didn’t think Sophie would wear anything like that, but she’d try it anyway.

Humming to herself, she saw a tourist bureau and knew exactly this was where she needed to go. Making a sharp turn on her heels, she all but ran up the stairs and headed straight for the desk. She saw someone else there, and was about to ask for directions to the nearest bar or something when the other girl asked the exact same thing. Well this was just perfect.

Alarana had made a glance at the clerk herself, and the woman’s only response was something about one right off the main drag a couple blocks down. The blonde smiled, facing the redhead. “How ironic, I was literally like about to ask the same thing~! I’m Alarana, touring here for some fashion type things. Say, you wanna hit that bar together? I’m always down for a good drink. Besides, you look like a fun person to hang out with and I’m like super bored.”

Eyebrow raising as the other addressed her, Selene turned her eyes to Alarana. “Oh?” What a strange one, to approach a stranger in such a manner. But she could appreciate that. “I could use company, I suppose. Show me the way there and I’ll even buy you a drink.” 

Super bored, huh? Selene got that. She’d grown rather bored herself wandering about on her own awhile. She could roll with it, she was here for a good time. Hopefully they would find some free seats. 

“Name’s Selene,” she added, laying down the brochure, nodding thanks to the clerk, and turning back towards the door. “I’m here with my cousin but he’s wandered off somewhere. Likes dragons, that one. I just wanted to get out of Hoenn,” she said with a laugh. 

“Where’re you from?” she asked. “And more importantly, please tell me you’ve got a good ID. I don’t care if it’s real or fake, I just don’t want to deal with any of that crap when I’m looking to have some fun.”

Just Tourist Things || Selene & Alarana

@twintulips

Her cousin had wandered off to play with more dragons, she was sure. It wasn’t much her business, even if they had decided to travel together. Selene was well aware Tristan was as free a spirit as there ever was. So she’d headed to the tourist bureau in Hau’oli, just to see what the island she was currently on offered. 

Selene had just reached the counter, shooting the clerk a smile as she leaned down to talk. “Hey, is there a brochure I could have that has the local attractions?” A nod and a smile greeted her, and just as she said thanks and was about to turn away, a girl burst into the place, making a beeline to the counter herself. 

Shrugging and stepping aside, Selene flipped through the pages, looking for any attraction that meant a good time. Frowning, she scanned the table of contents, and paged through the little booklet again, to no avail. Glancing at the clerk again, she asked, “So, is there a, uh, bar or anything around here?”

Alolan Adventures || Selene & Tristan

@thedragonsmouth

When Selene had proposed a trip to Alola to her cousin, she wasn’t sure what response she expected from him. Of course, she should have known it would be enthusiasm. A place neither of them had ever been? A place with new dragons to be met? The trip was booked in no time. Finally, she was headed away from Hoenn. She was ready for it. 

The preparation had taken a lot out of her, however, and on the boat ride to Poni Island, Selene had finally let sleep catch up to her. The rhythm of the waves had done it, but soon enough the boat slowed to a stop. She didn’t fully awaken even then, only cracking open her eyes at the sound of an excited voice and a shake of the shoulder. 

“We’re here? Oh. Right. We’re here.” She slowly clambered to her feet, yawning and stretching to her full height. Grabbing her bag, she turned to look at Tristan. “You ready?” she said, a crooked smile on her face despite the grogginess.

Farewell

I’m sorry to say I will be leaving NatPark, probably permanently. I intend to reuse N’s, Jeanne’s, and Selene’s blogs, so please unfollow all three. My deepest apologies for the recent meme day asks that will go unanswered and the threads that I’ll be dropping. 

I no longer feel comfortable in this group, for reasons I’d rather not announce on the dash, but I want everyone to know that overall my time here was a joyful one because of wonderful community members, many of which have left as well, but others of which are still here. I’ll miss you, but please feel free to reach out if you’d like to keep in touch. 

Thank you for understanding, Sparrow

Little Warrior | Lane & Selene

[wheredragonsreign-blog]

skullposse:

From the looks of it, the Jangmo-o didn’t seem to give a care in the world over his treatment of Lane, looking up to Selene as someone he wished to impress, and perhaps beating Lane within an inch of his life would be to her liking. He seemed much more comfortable around the woman than Lane – that much was obvious. When Lane finally stood to his feet, the Jangmo-o would caw and squeak in protest, running behind Selene’s dress for some sort of protection or support. The cold response only made Lane’s head hang low; there’d be no way in hell he’d be making any sort of headway with the little thing now – as much as he was only ever trying to help.

He made no more attempts to try to interact with him more than the Pokemon was comfortable; any more bashes to his face at that rate would leave him with a concussion. He gave a small sigh of relief when the woman decided to join him on his delivery mission; without her, Lord only knows what would’ve happened between Jangmo-o and Lane, what, with their dynamic. He took her hand and gave it a hearty shake. “Oh, thank you, ma’am… ‘m sorry t’have put all’a this pressure on ya, but I’m perty sure I’d’a ended up at the hospital quicker than this li’l guy would’a ended up home. I’ll be sure t’do my darnedest t’be a good tour guide – I promise! A-Ah may not be the best w’words, but I’ll try, if you’ll let me.”

“Now what we gotta do is head down t’Heahea City – that’s where we’re gonna find them ferry services. ‘N don’t worry! I-I’ll pay fer e’erythang yer gonna need, okay? I mean, I am the one who, y’know, put ya up t’this, so I might ‘s well help pay fer yer time, right? So we’ll go down t’Poni Island, ‘n then from there, um… hopefully, we’ll find the place this li’l guy comes from. But…” he trailed off for a moment, shifting the toe of his shoe across the dirt in little lines, “I-I do got mah concerns… The Pokemon that live there’re mighty strong… stronger than anythang I even have on me… If’n the li’l Jang really is from where I think he’s from… then the place we gotta go to’s gonna kick mah ass ‘fore we even get five feet in there. I don’t know about the Pokemon you got w’you… but that’s… a big booger’n all’a this.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, I don’t mind helping,” she said, waving him off. “I appreciate you paying the ferry services, too.” Watching the little Jangmo-o scamper about, she listened carefully to Lane’s concerns. 

With a quick laugh, she fingered her Pokeballs. “Don’t you worry about a thing as far as fighting goes. I can take care of all that. I gathered all Hoenn’s badges as a girl and faced down the region’s Elite Four many times since then. Can never quite get past the fourth, but he’s a dragon master, and all my Pokemon happened to end up dragons too. Makes it a bit of a challenge.

“That being said,” she continued, “While I don’t think I’m good enough to go around bragging, I can hold my own in most places. So let me repeat--no worries. I can fight my way through Poni for sure.” 

Gesturing to the open road, she said, “Just lead the way to Heahea. I’ll keep the little guy off your back.”

Hontou no Tsuyosa (Ken Ichijouji/Wormmon duet character song) [lyrics]

I thought you didn't suit me

Dragons this. Dragons that. Of course one would literally smash her in the knees on her first visit to Alola, her first time leaving Hoenn at all. But he was so small, and so cute, and so innocently trusting of her. Her. This baby Jangmo-o blinking up and softly chirping, totally ready and willing to depend on her of all people.

I came to know true strength I learned that if you turn you back on your weaknesses You won't get anywhere

She wasn’t ready to make that commitment. She’d raised her team many years before, but never straight from infancy. And this little one was a born dragon. Her others had evolved into that form, yes, but never were such from birth. But how could she deny that face with the wide trusting eyes?

I wonder what we can build together? Face to face I feel like I've been waiting so long If you weren't there My heart would still be closed 

She couldn’t. Something in her heart relented. All her life, she’d been resisting. Maybe it was time to stop. Maybe it was time to give in. Maybe there was more to this than a tiny Jangmo-o needing her, wanting to be with her--maybe she needed him, too.

We took a roundabout way Face to face I feel like we've finally met each other Your form Reflected my heart 

It was time. Time to stop denying the call of her own blood. She wanted to help this little one grow into himself. It had been so long since she’d trained up a young Pokemon; was she prepared? No. She would need help. But she would seek it, for him. She would give in for him. It was time to accept that the blood of dragons ran through her veins, pumping hot through a fierce heart. With him gazing up at her, it was impossible to ignore.

She called her mother that night. She booked a trip to Blackthorn the next morning. It was time.

Little Warrior | Lane & Selene

[wheredragonsreign-blog]

skullposse:

After catching up with his breath, Lane finally managed to rise himself back up to a stand, his voice slightly choppy between his heavy breaths, but still, he manged his damnedest to sound gentle and sweet to the baby Jangmo-o, and calm to the woman standing tall above him. “N-No, ma’am, he actually ain’t mine at all. Found ‘im in a li’l bag in the middle’a nowhere, ‘n the minute I let the knot loose, he went boltin’.”

The Jangmo-o continued to squirm in the woman’s arms, willing and fighting himself away from Lane with protests of squeaks and squawks. And after a stiff amount of fumbling and wiggling and squirming, the Jangmo-o hopped itself out of the woman’s grasp and headbutted Lane squarely on his forehead, and Lane doubled back once more with a stilted grunt. With a triumphant trill, the Pokemon returned himself to Selene’s side, looking up to her with determined, wide eyes, and he gave a small squeak, shuffling beside her feet and brushing himself against it.

Lane remained on the floor, dazed, mumbling to himself incoherently for a moment. With a blink and a shake-of-the-head, he was back to his reality, back before the woman and the Jangmo-o. His head ached slightly, but he chose to ignore it. “Jangmo-os ain’t from ‘round here, no; they’re from an island called Poni, ‘n that’s two islands down, no matter how ya slice it. I reckon the li’l thang must’a been taken from there. Like I said, he was found in a li’l baggie, not even captured in a Pokeball ‘r nothin’, ‘n that can only make me think that the li’l guy got nabbed. It’d explain a lot, really; poor thang must’a thought I was one’a its nabbers.” 

From where he was seated, he watched the Jang run little circles around the woman’s feet, chirping up to her excitedly with an unknown request. “Looks t’me like he’s taken quite a shine t’you, huh, ma’am? Well, since he ain’t mine, I reckon he’d be better off followin’ you. I don’t mean t’pit that pressure on ya, but I don’t think he ‘n I are gon’ see eye-t’-eye fer quite some time; two times I got close t’him, ‘n two times he decided t’bust on mah face.” He rubbed the sore spot on his forehead. After rising to his feet a second time, he dusted off the seat of his pants. “I really think we should try ‘n find where he came from - maybe a mother somewhere ‘long the way that he got separated from? If’n I can git’m on mah side, that’ll be the first order’a business I’ll try ‘n do fer him. I-I don’ know ‘bout’chu though; he jus’… happened’a imprint on ya, huh?”

“I-I’m Lane, by the by. I figured I’d jus’… git the in’r’ductions out the way, while we’re at it.”

She frowned at his words, eyes narrowed as she considered the situation. Just then was when the little fellow squirmed free of her arms and bashed his rescuer square in the forehead. Selene couldn’t help but snort a little at that, looking down at the baby dragon as he gazed up at her. “You really are a handful, y’know that? It’s not nice to crack a man’s skull like that.”

Turning her attention to what said man was saying, she furrowed her brow and bit her lip. “Poni Island, huh?” She put her gaze to the Jangmo-o running about at her feet. “That’s where you wanna go, little guy? Poni Island?” The chirps grew louder, and he nipped at the hem of her dress. “I’ll take that as a yes,” she responded with a chuckle.

With a sigh, she told the man, “All right, I’ll head there with you and the little one here. I’d like to explore the place anyways, so why not help out the poor fella along the way?” It felt cruel of her not to; Pokemon nabbers were bastards and this Jangmo-o deserved a chance to get home safe. She’d get him to his mother as quickly as possible and go on her way from there. It wasn’t like she was committing to raise him herself or anything, right?

“Lane, eh? Nice to meet you,” she replied, holding out her hand for him to shake. “I’m Selene. Point the way to Poni.”

The Jangmo-o was pawing up her shins again. With a wry grin, she squatted down, closer to eye level with the little one. “I’ll take you home, okay? Promise to behave, now.” He blinked slowly before giving a soft chirrup and nuzzling her knees.

“Okay, that’s settled, I suppose,” she said as she climbed to her feet. “Let’s get going.”
