spacerocks[The Kalos region! Home to many new pokemon, and many more old pokemon. And also TOO MANY CAFES.
Our heroes have arrived at Lumiose Station, fresh off the train and eager to...idk study rocks? they're fucking nerds okay.]

She checks over the rest of the stock, finding nothing of interest. Making the purchase and storing the stone in her bag, she returns to Cornelius.]
Oh! I asked the Nurse Joy about somewhere we can let our Pokemon out, but she said there was nothing like that here. So maybe it's time we set out, the big city is starting to get to me anyway.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. We we can finish our exploration of Lumiose at a later date, since we'll be back eventually.

Date: 2013-10-27 11:33 am (UTC)Okay so if we continue north up Vernal Avenue, then west from Centrico Plaza, we'll eventually come to the gate to Route 13.
[She's leading him up the avenue as she talks, a skill she mastered a long time ago.
Soon enough they're at the gate and passing through to Route 13.
Welcome to the Lumiose Badlands!]
Um. I don't know about you, but I think I'll wait to let my Pokemon out.

Date: 2013-10-28 04:33 am (UTC)[And off they go! They discuss various things as they go along, mostly about what they're most excited about the locations they're planning on stopping at, and wondering what the other cities and routes are going to be like.
... And to be honest, once they get out into the Badlands, he can safely say he wasn't expecting this at all.
Almost immediately after they take their first steps into the dry, desert-like atmosphere, a wind begins to whip up. Cornelius's ponytail gets swept right off of his shoulder and continues to sway behind him as the wind blows.
He blinks a few times from the dusty wind whipping against him. And...is that a slight frown? Perhaps.]
Yes, I believe that would be best. Titan and Corona would fare fine in this weather, but my other Pokemon would not appreciate it.
[He turns to Celeste, knowing that she'll share his sentiment when he says,]
Let's try to get past this area as soon as possible.

Date: 2013-10-28 05:03 am (UTC)Mmm, yeah definitely. Coumarine City is just on the other side of this route, we should reach there by nightfall, if this wind doesn't get any worse.
[WAY TO TEMPT FATE.
They continue on their way, struggling against the wind with every step and avoiding any head-on encounters with the few wild Pokemon hardy enough to survive in the area.]
This is terrible!

Date: 2013-10-28 11:17 am (UTC)Let's not hope it does. It's bad enough as it is.
[And so they press on. Cornelius covers his face as best as he can with his coat, but he doesn't have anything to cover his eyes so he just squints to keep the dust out of them.
Avoiding the Pokemon is the most difficult part, since they seem to have absolutely no trouble navigating in this weather. Good lord this is annoying.
He has to raise his voice to hear above the wind.]
This is definitely competing for worst route to exist, no doubt! Are you doing all right?!
no subject
Date: 2013-10-28 11:29 am (UTC)But they continue on, avoiding a few very close calls with the underground Pokemon.
She can barely hear him over the howl of the wind, raising her own voice in reply.]
I'm okay as I can be in this place! Not even the Desert Resort back home is this bad!
[Soon enough, the sun is setting and Coumarine City is in sight.]
