>>6310746Then, eventually, after an incredibly long time has passed (or maybe another an hour, it's hard to tell down here), you find yourselves in part of the real White Sands again. White light seeps in from the top of the surrounding buildings. It must be noon or just past it; the lights of the suns are the most intense at this time. You can hear the sound of rumbling of machines underfoot as the city expands deeper into the earth.
There is a man in a white shirt and jeans pacing around on a corner of the street. It looks like he's busy with an air hose wrapped around his shoulder, but from the emotions you can just barely sense and the blank look of sheer boredom on his face, there's not much going on for him.
"Hey dude guy!" Dan shouts, raising a hand. "Tell us where the closest food is!"
The man's head tilts up and Dan recoils as <span class="mu-b">as their eyes meet.</span> Cocksucking terrorist motherfucker, it's shit like this that makes you want to break teeth on bones. You can't help but grimace as you brace for what's obviously coming next.
TRAINERS' EYES MEET (GUY) (LISA: The Timeless OST - Morons' Theme)
https://youtu.be/bBkSrBVuhxgThe guy saunters up with a faint grin on his face. You resist the urge to punch him in the face. "Heya fellas. I'm real bored right now, so how about this? You beat me, I'll tell you the directions to the nearest restaurant. Deal?"
"Fine. Just get it over with." Dan's foot taps against the floor. From his pocket, the guy takes out a Pokeball and clicks it. In a burst of red light, a sleepy looking... Fuck, you wish you paid more attention to Dan's Pokémon classes because you don't know the name for this thing.
Okay, so, this 'mon looks like some kind of hot pink sleep paralysis demon or a Sour Patch kid coming up to about size of your shin. It's got whitish hair in a ponytail and two hair tuffs sticking up and at attention like a pair of rabbit ears. It's wearing a little leather satchel and wields a rough wooden mallet larger than it is. You guess you could call it cute <span class="mu-r">if it weren't for the incredibly malicious grin on its face as it stares directly into your soul.</span>
"So what's it going to be then, eh?" Dan sizes up the guy, just as you size up your comparatively diminutive opponent. <span class="mu-b">This thing looks a little stronger than you...</span>
"Just a nice, casual match. No items 'cept what's already held. You and your Gardevoir friend there up against me and Jamie here."
"Fair enough." Dan turns to you and points a thumb. "Alright, Garcian, get in there."
