And with the sweat of your brow...

Fun Fact: Did you know that if the multiverse is real, there could be an almost infinite square mileage of completely unexplored ocean out there?

No reason.

...

You wake in one of 25 rooms with a sense of unease that doesn't quite track with how nice the accommodations are. Maybe it has something to do with the giant window leading out to the sea. The temperature is low, which might make you wish you had woken up under the luxurious covers instead of atop them. The lights, too, are low. But next to your bed is a small personal radio, and it's playing a song for you. There's also a small note printed on folded cardstock next to it.

Dear Prospective Citizen,

Welcome to the Helios Suites at New Rapture. The time should currently be 12:00 PM. Please take a moment to get your bearings and become acquainted with your new environment, then meet in the hotel lobby at 1:30 PM sharp for an orientation with Mayor Fontaine.


With only that for guidance, there's only the one thing to do: get out there and start exploring... well, it's hardly a full city, but it's something! And in the halls (or on the wall of your suite or the lobby), you very well may find up to 24 other captives.

What you do until your meeting with Mayor Fontaine, well... that's up to you. Every room certainly gives you something to talk about.

[This is probably not a good moment for Hagakure to admit that he also hasn't heard of Almighty Sinnoh...though he is curious now! That said...]

Really? I've never heard of Pokemon partners not having a Pokeball at all. Huh! You learn somethin' new every day.

[He wonders how that even works...but hey, Adaman's apparently proof that it does.]

Hmm... I think I saw a garden from one of the windows. We could always look there.

Oho, not at all? That is how both the Diamond and Pearl clans treat our revered partners; we allow them to continue to be wild, and any assistance they offer us is of their own volition. I admit that I've always been curious about those Pokeballs, given the Galaxy Team's insistence on using them...

If Irida heard such a thing, though, she'd be bound to explode in anger!

[...He says it almost fondly. Almost. He still may not necessarily like Irida, but even in a place like this...

Well, it's good to talk about something familiar. Still, Adaman nods his head at the next bit.]


Yes, let's not waste any time! Let's be off; Leafeon likely would spend time in such an area if given the opportunity...

[Off they go! Hagakure continues the conversation as they move along.]

So you're from a clan that doesn't use Pokeballs, huh... That's pretty neat. And I'm guessing Almighty Sinnoh is your Legendary?

[He's passingly familiar with Sinnoh, but not as a Pokemon.]

Indeed. The Diamond and Pearl clan both believe in living alongside Pokemon in a natural state--if they wish to offer themselves as allies to us, we will not say no.

[Basically, it's a PokΓ©mon's choice whether they want to be your partner or not!]

They are, yes! They are the almighty ruler of time itself, and we do all that we can to live as Almighty Sinnoh wishes us to; to make use of the time we have been given, and to not waste even a single second.

Are you familiar with them, at all?
sixthnonsense: (β˜„ the fates aren't looking good for you)

[This is so much to take in.]

Not even a single second...? Dang, now that's some commitment.

[Wasting time is so fun! How does Adaman even live?

But to answer his question...]


I know of a Sinnoh, but it's more of a place than a Pokemon if that makes sense? Wouldn't be surprised if it was named after Almighty Sinnoh though.
