It turned out that after UNOVRCon, he had to pay the price for basically steering Starfall to something he wanted to do (and most of it went by in a blur, really, maybe it was the fatigue or the excitement). That price was that he and his fellow group members were tossed to a few more appointments, from TV show interviews to fan meets to some other minuscule stuff. It essentially left him having less time to play UNOVR, to his grumblings, but he would still be able to find some time, in between practices and such, to boot up the game and hang with his Pokemon, which were growing in number. He had actually spent many of those days not really making progress, generally updating (often venting) to Kimchi about what he had to do in his world.
Things seemed peaceful. And then a notification popped up about a new tower, and that got Comet off his figurative behind to check it out. Why? Well, it was dogs! He had no dogs. Also, the first prize was a Houndour, and that fit perfectly in his growing fire team. Thankfully fast travel existed for the towers challenges, so when he hopped in, he wasn't surprised that he wasn't the first one to get there. Zacian, bless the good boy, explained the situation and gestured to the NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. Well, Kimchi was a born soccer champ! This should be--
USE A WORM POKEMON!
Damn it. He really wanted to use Kimchi, but that would have to wait until another prompt better suited him, he supposed. Thankfully, he did join the Worm Tower and indeed had a worm Pokemon on hand, though frankly, he wasn't too sure about it. He hadn't even had the time to name it yet (he thought about making it trade fodder, but the tower had a tendency to ask for worms for some reason, and this was the only one he had.
❝Right, err, Blipbug! I'll give you a nickname soon (maybe). What moves do you have again?❞
It turned out there was only one move it can use. Alright, maybe he could just knock out a Jigglypuff. They seemed more harmless than the ones in the anime or in smash. Well, hopefully they were! ❝Use Struggle Bug!❞
The little worm, looking rather confused and timid at first, followed the command, hobbling to an unmoving pink ball and before releasing a bright green aura that expanded and smacked the ball away. It also happened to be rolling towards the gate, so...that was a good thing, right?
BLIPBUG USED STRUGGLE BUG! Prompt 7: [Tower]cz30c1fV1d50 1d50

#s://cdn~discordapp~com/attachments/1125009407164567562/1145722683447848970/comet17~jpg Unfortunately, by the time Vernon was able to get to the mini games, it was already nearly the end of the day, and it looked like it was already at its last rounds. He was able to get himself on a virtual boat to a virtual island, with a rather sick looking woman (Wolf) who was clearly in her avatar rather than how she looked like (though he hadn't been able to figure out how to turn that option on, if there was any). She also seemed to have a Pokemon with her? And wait, why was everything shaking more than usual?
Screams could be heard around him, but it looked like that player had it covered. Vernon felt that she certainly had the vibe of an older player, and he wondered if he should try to talk to her. Err, maybe not while he was wearing this shabby disguise. Perhaps he could find her in game? The battle between Gyarados and Mantine took a while, so he shifted his attention elsewhere - he had to collect ingredients for someone, right? He watched another player dive into the water without hesitation (Saint) and wondered if he should follow along. He considered himself a decent swimmer, but the game wouldn't let him drown...would it? Was there a mechanic for diving? Oh well, better see if the UI popped up anything.
He clambered over the rail and dove into the water, finding that hey, he could breathe! Not bad for a certified fire type trainer. There were fish and sea creatures of all sorts, but none of them looked like easy pickings. Maybe he should try for..hrm, what are those weird things on the coral? Sea Cucumber, the game said. Hey, this could make an okay ingredient, right? For a sandwich? Oh man, it didn't look delectable, but...perhaps that meant it was healthy? He grabbed a few with the inventory feature and then swam back up, finding his body lighter here compared to real life.
Maybe he should just check to see where the other players have been in case there were any leftover ingredients he could swipe. KsF4gM8G1d101d10 1d10·1d10

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was so big, Comet might've attempted to pet the guy's head, because that wagging dog tail really reminded him of, well, a dog. A big dog. A big white dog. What was a big white dog? Not a Golden. A Samoyed? Yeah! He probably shouldn't bring that up though. ❝Uh, no? Just started recently, actually.❞ well, he understood that other people would be skeptical of it since new players didn't normally have a fully evolved starter. He noticed that other players usually preferred to expand their party before choosing who to evolve (and usually people liked having that sense of progression before evolving in lieu of leveling, but Comet was not that kind of guy). ❝Have you tried opening your UI and pressing the map button?❞ the compliment felt a little undeserved for something so simple, yet he was reminded of a moment when his teacher praised him for working the computer to present their Powerpoint. Maybe...it was kind of like this?!
Well, his impersonation confirmed that it was Dr. Bunya. He remembered putting this quest off, but at the start, he clearly remembered it was Professor Ash. It saddened him a little bit that she was dismissed from her position. She was the one who gave him Kimchi, after all. He should really thank her for that the next time he saw her, wherever she may be. Surely the game wasn't just going to wipe her, was it? ❝I guess "upgrade" is one way to look at it.❞ he muttered, really not liking that other professor.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. ❝According to the quest, we're headed to Round 2's Base. I haven't been there myself, but the map says that it's in Route 1, so...not where the Surge Steppes are, that's Route 3. Oh, uh, and I'm Comet, and this is my partner, Kimchi. Nice to meet you!❞ he seemed like the kind of guy who would want a handshake, so he extended his hand. ❝Are you new since you're doing the tutorial? I mean, I know that's sounds like a silly question to ask, but I've heard of some players putting it off. Was just curious.❞
He figured that they should also start walking while they were talking, so he gestured to the direction they had to move. ❝I can guide us there. Let me know if you want me to carry the box for a while though, in case you get tired. Shouldn't be too far if we don't get distracted or ambushed, hopefully! (Does this game allow ambushing?)❞
Meanwhile, the Cinderace attentively looked around, especially upon hearing the idea of them getting attacked. He should be able to detect if something was coming their way.

❝Oh my god. I'm sorry, Magikarp. Literally just one more hit.❞
The Cinderace had an expression that could easily be read as, Seriously? But that was what the UI said, and Comet couldn't deny what the game was telling him. Literally 2 HP! Come on! ❝You can even just tap it, swear. It'll count. Maybe I'll do it.❞

How the hell was this Magikarp still alive? Wait a minute, was it because he hadn't upgraded his Tall Grass HP yet? The fish plopped sadly on the grass, but after a moment, it started to flop around, looking rather pathetic. The UI still said that it had some HP left. Comet clicked his tongue. ❝Sorry, Kimchi. I think that there's something nerfing us. I'll get it sorted before we try to fish again.❞
<Nerfing? What does that mean?>
❝Y'know, like, making us weaker? Or making that Magikarp more sturdy for some reason? Anyway, keep whacking it with Double Kick or something.❞
<...I'm starting to feel bad for it.> this felt reminiscent of that time with the Pumpkaboo.
❝I know I know, but it'll be fine, promise!❞

Surprisingly (or perhaps not), the Magikarp was still on the line, resurfacing just a few moments in another part of the pond. Comet figured that the fish was able to dive back down before it took the full force of the Pyro Ball. ❝My bad, let me try to get the Magikarp in the air.❞ yanking on the fishing rod, the Pokemon was certainly in its element, putting up a fight that made his arms sore. Kimchi was about to move in to help him, but Comet told him to stay on standby so that he could attack instead. The tug-of-war battle was eventually decided on his favor as he managed to pull the Magikarp out of the water.
❝Tackle it!❞
The Cinderace curled itself up like a spring before jumping high, aiming right for the Magikarp, before giving it a good ol' kick.

❝Kimchi.❞
The Cinderace was a little further away, staring at the fog that rolled lazily across the landscape. Comet wondered if he was seeing things once more, or maybe he was just thinking about something. His Pokemon thought a lot, he realized, more than any other Pokemon he had seen. He was listening though, as his ears visibly pricked before he turned towards his trainer.
❝Mind knocking this Magikarp around for me?❞
He let out a small grunt before kicking a tiny pebble on the ground upward - a few tosses and it was already coated in flame, indicative of a Pyro Ball, and the next moment after, he sent his attack right on the water where the Magikarp was splashing around; its body half visible above the surface. Comet was close enough to feel the heat from the fire and swore that he could even see evaporated water from where it struck the pond.
❝Woah. Are you okay?❞
Kimchi blinked, realizing that despite him being a fire type, he must've looked rather cold. It wasn't like his trainer was in danger of getting hit by that attack, but still. <Sorry. There's just a lot on my mind right now.>
❝Well, we can talk about it?❞
The Cinderace shook his head. <No I...I wouldn't even know how to explain it. Maybe some other time.>
❝Ah...alright.❞

Despite getting a fishing rod pretty early on, Comet hadn't really tried the mechanic until this very moment, when things seemed to have calmed down slightly, and he had received the loot from the Thunderfall Raid, which seemed...odd to accept once everything had ended, with all of those little big thoughts that were spurred from it. How was Zapdos doing now? Was he doing well? How did it turn out that he would hold his spell book in his hands, written in a language that he couldn't read (until he activated it) and little notes on the sides that he wondered were from the legendary himself. He also got this fiery thing that came from Moltres, which he gave to Kimchi. He caught the Cinderace stare at it more than once, though he wasn't sure what he saw in the flames.
And then there was the Zapdos DNA. The game gave no information about it, but the forums were quick to answer his question: collecting five of them, provided he forked over a huge amount of bytes, would create an egg. Having a legendary in his party sounded awesome, he wasn't going to lie about that, but then he remembered about Zapdos' plea not to die, even if the other players knew that he was going to live on with these strands, which could eventually turn into new life.
This wasn't going to be the same Zapdos though. The one that suffered and fought and held the Giant Shrine in its grasp. This was going to be entirely new life. He wasn't sure if he wanted to make that investment nor perform that responsibility just yet (he wasn't ready to be a dad, UNOVR! Kimchi was already taking care of him!)
Anyway, one step at a time. That next step was to fish from this pond and hopefully spawn a Magikarp, since he needed three of them. (Never mind that patch where these catches now had an additional fee, he already grumbled about that earlier).

#s://cdn~discordapp~com/attachments/1125009407164567562/1145720855041683517/comet16~jpg One of the things that Vernon did as soon as he managed to wriggle away from his manager and Starfall was to register himself on the UNOVRCon app. He eagerly popped his username in there and was reading through the different stuff Hydance posted while he was walking through the convention space. Lots and lots of people were moving about, standing around, or playing on the various mini games for the day. He was thinking of trying one of those soon! He heard that were prizes to be given out that could help him in game, and hey, Comet needed all the help he could get!
He also made sure to pick up the Player Stamp from the physical booth before he got lost in here. Everyone looked like a stranger, though, and a part of him felt a little restless that he wasn't with his usual friends that he had been sticking with for some months now. When he thought about it, he hadn't really been able to send out friend requests to anyone besides his fellow members either, and it didn't look like they had registered themselves yet, so the friends list was looking kind of--
Wait, there was one person! ❝Oho!!❞
The phone was excitedly beeping, which made Vernon similarly ecstatic. He remembered this dude! From the tutorial! With the Quaxly! And he was here, in the flesh! Vernon began to look around again to see if he could spot him (or her?) but the dot was actually a little ways away. Wait, was it heading slowly towards an exit? Not on his watch!
So he maneuvered his way through the crowds, imagining himself a little like he was in some kind of action movie, but of course he couldn't move that fast, and he didn't accidentally want to crash into someone. He made sure to check his phone all the while, making sure that he was getting closer and closer to the dot. How did they look like? Were they tall? Old? Were they actually an old man? Were they a teenager like him? Were they actually as scared and awkward as they were, or what if they were some kind of secret spy with a hidden agenda and a cover?!
He had been so engrossed in his thoughts that even if he was watching the dot, the internet wasn't exactly updating that quickly in real time, and before he knew it, he did end up crashing into someone who also seemed to be in a hurry. ❝Oof, sorry 'bout that.❞ he adjusted his (fake) glasses to get a better look. He then glanced at his phone, then back at the person again. ❝Wait, are you..?❞

#s://cdn~discordapp~com/attachments/1125009407164567562/1145720855041683517/comet16~jpg It looked like even after taking a few of the plushies off her pile, the weight of them all was too much for the kid to bear. Vernon wasn't able to stop her from falling backward, and he heard a thud when she fell -- oof, that sounded like it hurt! ❝...you okay there?❞
When she asked for help, he decided that was permission for yep, please get these plushies off of me, else I may suffocate under weighted cuteness. There were certainly all types of Pokemon here, from starters to legendaries to some slightly more obscure ones, and much of the Pokemon Sitting Cutie collection managed to make its way into the pile as well. He then glanced at the price tag -- wait, could this girl even afford all of this? Were her parents filthy rich? ❝Honestly, I also wouldn't know how to bring these back home if I bought them all.❞ he said with a small laugh. This kid was pretty silly, but if he had no self-restraint, he probably would've done the same thing.
❝I am! Not sure which ones I'm going to buy though. I can't go ham like you since my room isn't that big.❞ he also shared it with his fellow group members, so he couldn't exactly drown them in a sea of Pokemon plushies. ❝I'm definitely looking for a Cinderace plushie though. Maybe Zapdos?❞ he paused for a moment, ❝Any chance you were in the Thunderfall Raid not too long ago? I thought that, y'know, it'd be a nice souvenir or something.❞

Glancing at the nervous duck every so often, Comet wondered what would've happened if his partner's personality was a lot meeker than he would've liked. He supposed he was lucky that the Scorbunny now Cinderace had been willing to match his energy, even if he was pretty unsure. Was Kimchi actually 100% on board with his evolution? He hoped so, but it was a rather awkward time to bring it up, and at this point he already looked like he was used to it.
Anyway, Player 1 here was pretty flustered when he passed the baton to him.
❝There isn't any other guy here, unless you want Kimchi to knock?❞
But astrum froze up. For a few moments, Comet couldn't figure out what was the matter. It was just Mom; an NPC that wasn't going to hurt them in any way. Heck, this was probably one of the safest spots in the game, right? Wild Pokemon shouldn't be popping up here, and the game even said that there was going to be free lunch! (or snacks, or dinner, whatever!) He then thought, okay, why would he be scared of Mom? Unless it wasn't really the NPC he was scared of.
And then the teenager kind of got it; the realization a bit too obvious on his face.
Before he could try to convince him that hey dude, this mom isn't your real mom, the Quaxly spoke up, looking very small amidst two players and a Cinderace. His trainer conceded (really? He wasn't going to muster up the courage that the duck just showed?) but then Kimchi elbowed him, shooting him an expression of Play nice, Comet.
❝Hey, I didn't say anything!❞ he whispered, which had no point since the whole group was standing pretty close to each other. In any case, the Quaxly knocked on the door; it wasn't very loud since he was using his wing. A few seconds passed before a motherly voice came from behind the door, telling them to wait for just a few moments. Huh, she didn't even ask who they were, but he supposed the game would already tell her that.
And then the door opened. Mom...actually had a bit of a resemblance to his mom in real life, but that was because she was a Chinese immigrant. Were they different raced moms in this game?
"Oh! Comet ! And astrum !" tears actually welled up in her eyes, just a little, "It's been so long since I've last saw you, look how grown up you are! I remember when you were still so small...but come in, come in! You're just in time for afternoon snacks." she ushered Comet in, with Kimchi following closely behind them, leaving the other player to come in on his own.
<This is your mom?> the Cinderace asked in hushed tones.
❝Not my mom, just Mom. There's a difference! But don't tell her that!❞
"Oh Comet, is this your starter Pokemon? He's so big now!"
❝We trained lots, Mom! He's saved me a number of times now, you know!❞
"Oh my! I really should thank you then for taking care of my son. I don't think I need to tell you how reckless he can be...hah, takes it from his father!"
It looked like Kimchi was taken aback by the sincerity of it, especially since they were created from the same cloth (or were they? Perhaps Mom also had awareness of who she was). <It's no trouble, that's what I'm here for.>

It was just his luck that Kimchi didn't have a dark type move to use. He swore that Feint was in that category, but maybe he was thinking of a different move? Faint Attack? Wasn't there a blocking move that was a dark type? Ugh, whatever! Thankfully, there was another open slot to power up a Pokemon he had that could learn a dark move. It wasn't his original plan (he was still debating on which class he wanted the Litleo to go to and thought he could be a tank), but there was little to be done about it, especially since a little birdie told him that there was another potential tanker he could get from this tower.
<POWER!> Mapo laughed evilly, shooting out a newly learned Flamethrower at nothing in particular. He ran out, giggling and cackling, deftly dodging the pink bubblegum surfaces and jumping on those Patrat with glee. ❝Mapo!! We gotta stick to the prompt! Just use Crunch!❞
The Patrat scatter and run in fear, for their predator, tiny as he was, had teeth so sharp that if this weren't a children's game, well...
He gnashed his teeth. <Crunch? On those guys? DE-LISH.>
And that was how Comet had to run after his Litleo while said lion was running after a bunch of rats. Prompt #99: [Tower]ASoqxQEf1d50 1d50

Comet took the other player's quiet nod as a "yes" to the starter lab question. Exciting! Someone that actually was more of a newbie than him! That meant...he was actually the one who can lead! It was Kimchi who noticed that his trainer was very much dominating the other in conversation, but thankfully, the little water duck's question was loud enough for the younger player to stop talking about how he also met his starter and how the Scorbunny was very cute before he evolved into the Cinderace he was today.
❝She's like, all of our moms, I think? We're just gonna drop by to get some shoes.❞ he had to focus his brain power to hear what the other player was mumbling, but it basically sounded along the lines of "let's get going." That was cool by him! Kinda broody guy, huh? Well, he would take that over someone who was mean and stuff. Since he appeared to be sizing up Comet, he also did the same, though there wasn't much to see (all he could really pick up was that he looked older, but who was to say if he actually was? That was the beauty of UNOVR, he supposed; anyone could really be anything. Hell, he could even be a she!)
Anyway, enough of that. ❝Right, at least the map says it isn't far from here.❞ did this guy needed to be led along? Nah, it looked like he got the UI down, unlike a certain someone. He did walk ahead though, talking with Kimchi mostly all the way, since the other guy didn't look very talkative nor receptive to his questions. No worries! He knew people who had a tendency to clam up like that, and sometimes all it took was time. <I don't know if having a full fire team is a good idea.>
❝Because of type coverage? Yeah I know, but until I get enough bytes to fully upgrade my current class, it just seems the most practical. We just gotta steer clear of water types.❞
Perhaps other players would find it odd that a player was conversing meta strategies with his Pokemon, but the Cinderace was also of the same mind that he wanted to become stronger. Of course, that was impossible to do alone, hence the whole team building thing.
Eventually, they did make it to a quaint house a little further away from the settlement, and the lights were also on. Comet turned around to face the other player (he was checking every now and then if they were still following) and asked, ❝Would you like to do the honors?❞ he was referring to the door, which was wooden and brown and expected of a homey home. It even had a hanging panel that had the text HOME SWEET HOME.

#s://cdn~discordapp~com/attachments/1125009407164567562/1145720855041683517/comet16~jpg One of the skills that you learn as an idol is changing your clothes very quickly. And making yourself still look presentable! While it was mainly used in concerts and whatnot, Vernon was able to happily use this skill to immediately dive into the convention after the busking shift was over (at least for now, he would have to go back later). Usually, a hoodie would be a better option, but guess what he forgot to pack one Vernon why are you like this, but his manager did have a spare of fake glasses that he could use, as if that was going to help, right? But he would make it work! Fans be damned (he hoped he wasn't going to get swarmed by a pack of figurative piranhas).
While he was definitely interested in everything that was going on in UNOVRCon, he made a beeline to the Pokemon Center, which he knew wasn't available in most of the country and this one was just a temporary one. He desperately wanted a Cinderace plushie, because it would be nice to have something remind him of Kimchi when he was feeling down. Maybe a Zapdos plushie as well? That would be funny. Something like collecting little physical memorabilia of what he had experienced in the game so far. Of course, when he got to the Pokemon Center proper, he couldn't help but immediately run to the Pokemon Sitting Cuties collection, all beautifully lined up in long, long shelves. Ah, to be a participant rather than the one on stage! To be a shopper instead of an entertainer!
All the Pokemon merch!!
He was in heaven.
Just as he was admiring an adorable sitting Oshawott, he noticed that there was another customer who might've been too eager to take a bunch of plushies home. She looked younger than him, and for a moment that made him hesitate (according to recent statistics, their biggest demographic was tweens and teenagers--) but she really did look like she was carrying too many, and since no one approached her, he decided to step up.
❝Woah, careful there. Need help carrying?❞ he wondered if she was going to buy all of them, and decided that since she might look like she was going to keel over, he was already reaching for some of the plushies on the top part of her pile.
