The nightmare is finally over and the aftermath sinks in. Wherever you are, news will eventually spread that the pokemon stopped their rampaging status, looking confused and some horrified by what had happened around them. Mari's Steelixes are finally off their guard duty, people are crying out of various emotions and people who are physically well enough flood out of the shelters in an attempt to search for their loved ones out there, whether they be people or pokemon. Some are reunited, some are not. Either way, people are in this together, comforting others over their losses and rebuilding the city. There's been quite a lot of destruction apart from the Pokemon Center and the hospital, after all. Some buildings are missing a roof, holes on the side wall, doors knocked down... some are unfortunate to have been entirely blasted away by an extremely strong rampaging pokemon's hyper beam (thanks, random Hydreigon).

After most people calm from their initial high emotions, the reconstruction starts. Of course, they also contact the people from Toran who helped with reconstruction efforts. Looks like the handymen will never rest...

The Pokemon Center is looking for additional manpower, getting pokeballs here to there, labeling whose pokemon are whose in things looking like incubators for those in queue of getting healed, and managing supplies. They are extremely short-staffed right now, so they will be looking for any help possible. Though, if you cause too much trouble than helping, you may be politely asked to leave or to help somewhere else. They don't have time for this. During the nights, the Pokemon Center may be crowded. After all, many people just lost their homes. They got nowhere to go.

The hospital is similar, in which they are also short-staffed. They're looking for disaster volunteers, and especially pokemon with healing capabilities to lessen the load on doctors and nurses who need to care for the more gravely wounded. With more help, the hospital will no longer seem as chaotic as before, but more along the lines of an orderly busy time. It helps that the people are no longer stuck inside due to the ongoings of the events outside, so the hospital is emptier than before, compared to when it was jam packed. The mental health department is also using Drowzees and Munnas to give people good dreams and eating nightmares without repercussions so that they can have a good night's rest. Not all wounds are physical, after all.

With the local Mart's help and other establishments, some people band together to supply people with food and drinks in a very open area in the park. Take a breather and eat something. If you look like you're running yourself ragged, one of the townspeople will drag you to eat and drink a proper meal. They don't need another patient in the hospital right now.

Remember that boba shop? Or those restaurants that you had the delicious meat from? Their damages vary from a broken window to being absolutely trashed. Pokemon and people alike are helping with moving the debris and cleaning up the mess. Someone piped up about recycling broken glass to make brand new windows with fire pokemon and proper glass making methods, so please don't throw them away!

The Radio Tower and the cemetery tower? They're both closed off to the public right now with yellow police caution tapes all around them. Your friendly policemen who all look the same advise nearby people to stay away from the two buildings at the moment. Please don't cause trouble or ask them questions... they're tired as it is like everyone else and they're not allowed to say anything for now, if ever. Your energy is better used elsewhere.

Comments

[infiltrationtools]

Thank you, but you should probably make sure the oth—

[Akira tries really hard. He tries. But then Morpeko cuts him off by trilling as loudly as she possibly can and scampering up to Yoichi, looking at him like he's an angel come down from Heaven. For the explicit purpose of giving her food.]

...Morpeko eats a lot.

[Akira can relate, but he has the decency to not do it in the middle of a disaster relief situation.]

But if you think you can spare a few, she'd probably appreciate it.

[299z]

[Morpeko! Azurill is the blue mouse, that's right. Yoichi smiles at the excited Pokemon.]

It's okay. I can always go back and get more.

[He's taken quite a few trips back and forth already, but he's better at this sort of gopher thing as opposed to helping fix the buildings or taking care of the debris. He's proved to be mediocre at that in the boba shop, and he doesn't like that feeling.]

Do you want a drink? I've got those too.

[He opens the cooler, and inside is a Corphish helpfully holding out a plastic bottle of something orange that hasn't been shaken up enough; the powder swirling around and cloudy in some spots. Yoichi takes out two plastic containers of assorted berries and opens them to set in front of Morpeko.]

[infiltrationtools]

[It's decided, this is Morpko's new favourite person, at least until someone else shows up and fills her stomach. She immediately hunches over the berry packs, shoving them greedily (but happily!) into her maw.]

Sure, thank you.

[That's addressed as much to Corphish as it is to the human, though Akira doesn't know what a Corphish is called. He takes the bottle and gives it a few shskes; must be some of that powdered juice stuff.]

Might be too far, but if you go over to the part of the woods where it meets that jagged rock formation in the sea, there's a lot of Berries out there. If you need to restock.

[299z]

[The Corphish waves his claw in thanks. He worked hard on those drinks. Akira will find it takes a little salty, despite being an also sugary orange flavour. The water came from inside the Corphish; wherever the Water Gun's ammunition is stored. He's spit into a lot of empty bottles lately.]

Oh, I saw that when I got here.

[But... yeah, it's a very long way. It took Yoichi five days to get from the ocean to the city.]

But... is there a shortcut in the woods somewhere?

[infiltrationtools]

No, no, not from that direction – there's one over to the east. It's maybe like six hours from here.

[He's assuming that Yoichi arrived from the south like everyone did at the behinning of the month. Akira takes a sip, altogether unaware that he's consuming Corphish spit.]

But if you wanted to go back to the southern one, you could probably ride a Pokémon...

[299z]

[Yoichi considers the twelve hour commute to get more berries from the eastern shore. The cooler isn't that large, and it's certainly not worth the trip for one cooler full of berries. He can't buy a bigger one because he's already spent all the money he got from helping with some of the boba shop clean up. He may be able to return it if it doesn't smell too much like Corphish... Only, maybe he doesn't need to.]

Ride one like the deer or the unicorns? There are Pokemon that freeze things, right? The eastern spot might be workable. I have an idea. Want to help?

[It will be harder to organize everything himself, and Akira might know more about Pokemon or where to find things in the city.]

[infiltrationtools]

...Well, what's your idea?

[Akira is always down for something adventurous, and also potentially something that will help him more easily secure food for Morpeko.]

[299z]

I saw a cart in the street that someone was selling t-shirts out of, and I was thinking if we had something large to have the unicorns pull, we could stack crates or any containers on it, and keep the berries cold with one of the ice Pokemon.

[Is this a stupid idea? It might be. Yoichi knows nothing about food preservation; do berries even need to stay cold? How long until they go bad? He's never once paid attention in a science class.]

That's too complicated, isn't it? Basically, I just want to carry as many berries back as possible at one time.

[infiltrationtools]

[Akira nods. He can't exactly tell what kind of Pokémon the 'unicorns' are because he's never seen one, but it sounds like it's not like using horses to carry heavy loads is a new thing.]

It's not a bad idea. Obviously we'd need Pokémon to carry it, and... some way to actually build a wagon.

[All of the supplies are needed here for the reconstruction, though. Hmm...]

[299z]

[It might take longer to organize and build a wagon that it would to make two trips out there.]

Boats. There were tracks of boats; were any of them brought to the city? Or does anyone have any?

[Instant wagons.]

[infiltrationtools]

I doubt they were taken back to Toran.

[Maybe they're still there, out on the waterline.]

[299z]

Toran?

[That's no place he's heard of, but it probably doesn't matter where the boats came from.]

I didn't see any on the southern shore, but I didn't look around too long.

[infiltrationtools]

Toran is where we came from before this city.

[He must be new.]

Where did you arrive when you first came here?

[299z]

In the ocean. This was the only land on the horizon.

[He swam all that way and then walked through the forest for five days.]

[infiltrationtools]

[What the fuck...]

And you didn't drown?

[There's a likelihood that this guy is lying to him, but also, holy shit.]

[299z]

Obviously not.

[He gestures to the Corphish.]

When I woke up, he was keeping me above water. It was all choppy and there were whirlpools.

[Hardcore.]

[infiltrationtools]

[Akira looks at the Corphish. That Pokémon took him to shore, huh...]

...I bet we could find some ocean Pokémon to carry the boat along the shoreline.

[299z]

But we don't have a boat yet.

[They should probably start with step one, though that is a good idea.]

Aren't there whale Pokemon?

[Or sharks, he's not quite sure.]
