Round 1 - [Action : New Bark City] - [Audio]
[ Action : Morning ]
[ When it came to blending in with the natives, Yang certainly looked the part. The only reason she had the jacket on in the first place was because it was much colder here and she was still feeling the heat of the combat high she left behind in the arena. It was with equal parts bewilderment, confusion, and irritation that she looked out at her surroundings, her mind reeling with trying to make sense of everything she had read, or heard from that ... that delusional woman in the house she left behind.
To make matters worse, her attention was constantly divided between her goal of gathering as much information on this town as possible and the faint half-bark half-growling of the "pet" that was close to the heels of her boots at all times.
Finally, Yang stopped and crouched down, adjusting the way her new bag slung off of her shoulder. ] Look, pup. You're cute and all, and I've love to play with you, but I don't really have time for it right now. Okay? You feel me?
[ It certainly seemed to be listening, though talking to an animal and expecting it to comprehend everything she said wasn't what Yang expected at all. She was more just vocalizing her frustrations to the closest living soul.
She sighed, a thick cloud of steam in the chill winter air. ] I don't even have any treats for you. At least, I don't think I do... [ Yang thought about it a minute. There had been supplies, but nothing you should feed a dog.
Then Yang withdrew her hand from within the travel bag holding onto small red-and-white sphere. ] Hmm, actually. I never tried to open this. Looks like one of those surprise egg toy prizes. I wonder what's inside...
[ The Growlithe made a gruff, curious sound, and leaned in a bit to sniff at the ball. Yang tapped the button on it front and made as if to show the puppy the contents first. The ball grew in her hand, which surprised her and caused her to drop it. It popped open with a sound and then, after a flash of light, the dog was just... gone! Sucked right into the ball by some kind of strange energy.
Yang did not take that well. ] WHOA! What the— [ That was. Not supposed to happen. Yang's eyes were wide and she rose her feet. Time to panic! ] Ohmygod! WhatdidIdo? DidIkillit? Ididn't—! Ahh crap!!! [ She bent down to pick up the ball once more, turning it this way and that. Does she dare open it? Can someone close to her explain what just happened?!? HELP! ]
[ Audio : Open ]
[ Yang sounded much calmer when she finally made her general broadcast. It was said that this would be a good way to reach out to anyone here whether they were new like her, well informed as to how this place worked, or (hopefully) familiar voice from home. ]
Uhh, I was told I should probably introduce myself here over this network, but it feels kind of weird to do that. Not like I expect anyone to know who I am. But... [ A pause, there is some growling in the background. Eh. Here goes nothing? ]
I'm Yang Xiao Long. If the words "Remnant", "Beacon Academy", or "Vytal Festival" mean anything to you, call me back right away. It's kind of urgent.
If you're the one that brought me here, well, thanks for not letting me get to enjoy my victory first? Niiiice timing! [ A grumble. ] Jerks.
[ Yang sighed quietly. She's usually much better with people, but it's hard to feel up to making new friends right off the bat when freshly displaced. Give her a minute. She'll come around. ]
Otherwise, uh .... hi, I guess? Someone talk to me. I don't even know if I did this right.

no subject
And some even come right into the towns and cities without bothering anyone!
[Weird, but the good kind of weird.]
no subject
Kind of hard to grasp, honestly. [ Habits. ]
But that explains the lack of defenses, or guards, and why they have no problem just letting people trek miles through the woods without any more protection than a single pet they just met. [ Nothing personal, Rowdy. She just doesn't know what you're capable of yet! ]
no subject
[Probably one of the weirdest things, aside from the music.]
The Pokémon can be very powerful, though. Yours might surprise you!
no subject
—and anything can be a weapon if I swing it hard enough. [ Like her fists, for example. ]
no subject
[Too bad she can't recreate her own weapons quite so easily. Maybe if she bred her Honedge a couple times or her Galvantula got REALLY GOOD with String Shot...]
And this place has a LOT of surprises, good and bad. Mostly good, I think!
no subject
I'll have to get used to all this eventually. You sound like you're doing all right for yourself, at least?
no subject
[Sensationally? Whatever, she's been really good.]
I've made friends here! And I've already managed to win one of Johto's gym badges- oh, that's part of a challenge where you're supposed to fight a series of powerful trainers who all specialize in different types of Pokémon. And there's lots of interesting places to explore!
no subject
I don't mind exploration, but an invitation would've been nice. [ Still bitter about the kidnapping thing. That's going to take her some time to get over. ]
no subject
[Which honestly she'd be doing even without the gym challenge. Still gotta be combat ready, even if she can't fight nearly as well on her own any more.]
...Yes, it can be fairly sudden. A lot of people are VERY upset when they show up.
