It helped a little that Laura didn't seem to know entirely what she was doing either. "I guess I'll get a milk tea then." It felt a bit silly going into a bar and ordering something that you could get from any vending machine in Kanto, but whatever, she was done feeling stupid about things...

Oh, well, if it was okay, then... "Uh, sure, why not?" Jade replied, shrugging. She should probably try to get to know more of the trainers here anyway. That way she'd feel less blatantly out of place surrounded by all the champion-level invites. There had to be other normal people at this...

Jade blinked at the shorter girl who'd just entered. "Oh, uh... no I haven't had a drink, I was just..." Leaving? That just led to the obvious question of why she'd even entered. "...Not sure if I'm allowed to be in here," she finished lamely. "Since I'm not old enough to drink." She didn't...

Jade wandered through the festival ground, still unable to get over how weird all this was. Portals and Legendaries and... other worlds. Pokemon who could speak human like nothing was more natural, and places when Team Rocket had been gone for twenty years. Most of it was a big pile of 'let's...

He was... human-what? Human-trained? Human-made? No, that was silly. Jade was just stuck on May having instantly ID'd Nine as an experiment. That didn't mean other people here had any involvement with weird stuff like that. "C'mon, can't you see you're bothering him?" she hissed to Nine...

Oh, so... maybe the Oshawott did know a bit about where he'd gotten that talent from. It just... obviously wasn't a fun story from the sound of it. "Sorry if that was a bad question," Jade replied awkwardly. Nine tilted his head. "*He's what?*" Jade let out an exaggerated sigh. Come on, he...

These two were just... born able to speak human, and it wasn't normal for their world and they'd... never found out any reason why? "Have you ever wondered why?" Jade asked, settling into a nearby beanbag chair. "I figure there's gotta be a reason why." "*I couldn't imagine not knowing why I...

Jade looked back and forth between the two, bemused. It would've been hard to believe if she wasn't hearing them both right now. "It's not exactly common where I'm from either. Did you learn how, or were you always able to do it?" Nine's birdlike gaze was unyielding. "*Some sort of...

Jade leaned closer, peering at the photo on the license. Yep, that really was her photo there, clear as day. Looked like her name was Coleane... "Oh, uh, I should probably introduce myself," Jade realized too late. "My name's Jade, and this is Nine. We're here for the festival." That...

Jade blinked. "You're a Pokémon and a trainer? How's that work? Do you have your own license and everything? Do you battle yourself, or with a team?" A million questions were flooding her head. She knew plenty of Pokémon who were aiming to be champions, but always on a team, not leading a...

Jade turned from the bookshelf at the sound of a voice to see a Tropius and an Oshawott relaxing in the corner. The lounge was so big that she'd missed them upon walking in. "Oh, hi," Jade said. "Guessing you two were invited here with a trainer?" Nine tilted his head at the Tropius but...

Breakfast was loud. Well, what would you expect with so many trainers and Pokemon in one place? Jade had thought about sitting next to May, the only person she'd really gotten a chance to talk with so far. But she hadn't seen the other girl at breakfast, and just ended up grabbing food to go...

Jade blinked. “Twenty… years ago? What?” May had said it unflinchingly, like it went without saying. Like everyone knew about it, and everyone knew the Rockets made Mewtwo, and… Nine squinted at her. “*I was made before Mewtwo. What’s going on?*” That portal. The weird feeling that had...

Right, okay, they were doing this. Why not. They were out at sea, far from Kanto. Not much danger of word spreading to anyone who shouldn’t hear it. Not to mention, May didn’t really seem like the gossiping type. Jade traded glances with Nine. “Right, so… I kind of stole him from Team...

Jade rubbed her arm. “Well, we’ve done a few gym matches without any problem. I… guess we could probably do a tournament—not like the League would know what he is. But that’s a bit too high-profile for us.” That left the obvious question of why. She could have just said that tournaments...

Oh. Well that sure explained why she’d jump to the superclone explanation right away. What were the odds? It was hard to imagine anyone rescuing a clone and not getting a long story out of it. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like either of them would be needing to spill the full details at this...

If she hadn’t been standing in one spot, Jade probably would have tripped. She fought to keep her face neutral even as her mind was reeling. Superclone? Who just GUESSES that?? This girl couldn’t be… she wasn’t involved with the Rockets, was she? She was about the same age as the other...

Jade turned at the sound of a voice closer to her than all the background noise. She was met with a blue-haired girl along with an incredibly sleek Ninetales wearing some kind of pendant. Strange that this was the first person her age she’d seen. (Well, maybe a bit younger, closer to Rudy or...

We were thinking the anonymous game would not involve RP, no. And there were plans to have designated hours for thread open decided ahead of time based on player schedules. Would love to get more newbies involved! Either through a newbie game or a hydra game where newbies get paired with...

Jade leaned against the railing as the salty breeze swept through her bangs. Another cruise ship. It was hard not to think about what’d happened the last time she’d been on one of these. But then, that trip was never going to be normal, was it? Even if the Rockets hadn’t infiltrated it...
