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

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo picks up the Pokeball, turning it over in his fingers. At least he knows that dogs like to have things thrown for them to chase, but... what happens if you do that with a Pokeball? Does it release whatever Pokemon is inside? Although as he understood it, that should not happen unless the release button is pressed... Hmm.

He weighs the Pokeball in his hand for a short while... and then launches it, not too far a distance from the bench. At least if this wasn't what the dog intended, it won't be too hard for Hythlo to come and pick it up himself.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien goes but pretends he doesn't see the ball and picks up a potato in his mouth and brings that back. Did you throw this??

Also, where did that potato come from? ]

[weenwoon]

Ah, no, it was...

[Hythlo starts pointing out where the ball landed, but... well the dog seems pretty happy with his potato. Hythlo chuckles and pats him, taking the potato. He... has no idea where he found this, since Mango City seems to be pretty well-kept for the most part, but weirder things can happen, right?

The potato gets thrown further than the ball. Hythlo's offences of littering just keep piling up.]

[selfconcept]

[ He goes to fetch the potato, but instead of a potato, he comes back with a comic book. It has a story about a tale of friendship between two Eevees, who go on their separate ways due to their trainers having different journeys. When they finally reunite, they see each other as Espeon and Umbreon, and they rekindle their friendship despite the time that passed. Beautiful. ]

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo stares at the comic, starting to feel a little unnerved. Maybe the dog is just kind of scatterbrained, so he keeps bringing back whatever he finds? But are there really so many things lying around on the ground that he can just bring a different one each time?

The story is sweet, though, he can't deny that. And it reminds him a little of his friends, as well.]

...Thank you, little one. But I fear I cannot throw this one for you...

[He sets it down on his lap, carefully. It would make a fine gift, he thinks... maybe for Efi. She is a lively girl nonetheless, but the recent events must be weighing on her as well, and maybe this kind of bright, hopeful tale would serve to help her keep her resolve.

What to throw, though... Hythlo looks around, and--ah. There's a twig there on the ground, probably from one of the decorative bushes around the bench. He picks it up to try and throw it... although it's rather light, so it doesn't go too far.]

[selfconcept]

[ He picks up the twig and brings it to Hythlo. He fetched like you wanted!! Praise him!! There's even the small blep there.

Though, he's going to ruin all that right now. ]

Do you like my presents?

[ It's an awfully familiar voice without the distortion and static, and it's definitely not how a puppy should sound. ]

[weenwoon]

[Aww, what a good boy! Hythlo bends down to pet the puppy and maybe even pick him up because look at him. Small eyes small nose very fluffy. Hythlo has known this dog for five minutes but if anything happened to him he would... cry a lot and try to get whoever responsible arrested because he's not good at murder.

The sudden voice startles him, though, and he yelps and jumps up, looking around frantically.]

H-Hien!?

[He KNEW there must have been something up with the dog. He's not sure where Hien could be hiding, though... was one of his powers invisibility? Hythlo can't remember, but he's gonna keep looking around in hopes of spotting Hien. The thought that he might be the dog doesn't occur to him.]

[selfconcept]

Yes.

[ Hien speaks up and puts his paw on Hythlo's wrist. ]

I'm over here.

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo whips his head around, expecting to see Hien who must have snuck up on him...

...but there is only puppy. He looks at him in complete bafflement, then reaches out to pick him up and hold him at arm's length, as though examining him.]

...If this is a trick, I must admit defeat already.

[selfconcept]

[ There is only blep puppy as Hythlo raises him a bit. ]

I'm a good ventriloquist.

[ Doesn't count if they can never see your mouth moving, Hien. ]

[weenwoon]

You do always have something new up your sleeve. Dancer, singer, musician, masseur... ventriloquist now.

[He lowers the puppy onto his lap, petting him thoughtfully.]

... Your voice sounds rather too close for me to be unable to see you, however.

[Was invisibility one of his powers. He wishes he'd asked.]

[selfconcept]

You make me sound like a jack of all trades... though I was kidding, Hythlodaeus. I'm right here. It's me.

[ Hien puts his paw on Hythlo's wrist again. ]

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo looks down at the puppy, freezing mid-pet.

Yeah, actually, he can't even begin to know what he can say to Hien being a small dog suddenly. He's just staring, blinking a few times.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien notices that and he just keeps staring up at Hythlo. ]

What, am I cute enough to leave you speechless now? Is that how it is?

[ His dry tone through the static and distortion... definitely Hien. ]

[weenwoon]

[...Alright, yes, that's definitely familiar. He has no idea how, but... That's certainly Hien.]

Why, was that not your design? A new way to steal my heart?

[selfconcept]

Why should I have to steal something that's already mine?

[ (dmmd ren voice) i'm grateful to you over five million times, baby ]

does hien know about dmmd

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo snorts, then openly laughs. Oh, he missed the banter.]

Ah, how quickly I am unmasked! Mayhaps 'twas truly fate that brought us together, for none could ever see into my heart like you do, dearest Hien.

[He holds puppy Hien up again to wiggle him a little through the air.]

You are awfully adorable, I must admit.

some variation of it yes

[selfconcept]

Thanks. It was quite a time to come to terms that one of my other selves was a dog in some universe far, far away. But the form is useful when I need it. Though...

[ He looks very unamused. ]

... Can you stop shaking me in the air?

hythlo introduced to the concept of fursonas

[weenwoon]

[...Why was Hien a dog somewhere. Actually, that makes Hythlo wonder if he has an animal counterpart somewhere... the thought is quite amusing.

But.]

No. 'Tis your punishment for deceiving me.

[He wiggles Hien a little more, fluffing his sides in the process. He seems pretty happy about this kind of revenge.]

do not ask hien to explain

[selfconcept]

[ Hien grumbles, but it just comes out sounding like a frustrated puppy whine. ]

Enjoying this, aren't you?

tell him about video games, hien

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo grins openly and sets Hien down on the bench... Only to take his front paws and make him do a cute little dance.]

I rather figured that was your purpose with this.

nanami would do a better job :')

[selfconcept]

[ Hien just does a chihuahua snarl in response, but he's not biting. Just snarling while dancing. ]

nanami should not tell him about sex games shes like 16!!!!

[weenwoon]

[Awww is babby upset? Is ouw widdwe pubby unhappy? Hythlo barely manages to hold back his laughter as he keeps annoying Hien, this time making him clap his paws together.]

it's... a book with sound. yeah.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien continues the growling, but it eventually subsides after he coughs once. Growling is not meant to be done long term. ]

... I'm glad you're having fun.

frankly he knows what sex games are they had them in his time. but its funny to dunk on hien

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo finally stops tormenting Hien and instead scoops him up to hold him close to his chest, patting Hien's head.]

I am. But I must say, this is a real surprise! Although I suppose such a form does suit you.
