Group RP Pokemon: Diamonds of the Colorful Skies

It's been about a month since Fiore first moved to Croquis. That one month period was just enough to get acquaintanced with their neighbors in the small (?) town. Two of these neighbors being Calem and Serena who, in Fiore's opinion, could be easily mistaken as a couple or something due to their closeness to each other.

Anyway, the big day came. The day when many caravans set out for the long annual journey to seek diamonds and reach the royal capital of Illumis. Aunt Coco had already arranged for Fiore to join a particular caravan -- Serena's caravan -- beforehand. So now, donning one of their aunt's favorite black-purple robes (see here) refitted for a young masculine build, the Sabian youth made their way to the caravan he was supposed to join with. Not without beckoning their two Pokémon to come along, of course ("Lissa! Laslow! Come on, guys!").

 

"Yup," Fiore nodded to their companion for the journey (also with a smile) as they lugged their bag into the caravan. Not that much in the bag -- just a Cielore map, Aunt Coco's notebook, a set of spare clothes, and... a memento from their home country. Their Quaxwell, Laslow, then climbed on the caravan, followed by Lissa the Eevee (who simply hopped from her human's head) before joining the two themself.

 

(Yep. Sorry for the delay -- just in time for the spoopy postfest. )

Unbeknownst to Fiore, Aunt Coco was already with Serena's mother by the time he got settled in the caravan. "Lissa! Laslow!" the redhead lady called out which was quickly responded by Eevee and Quaxwell heads popping out from the caravan and directed to her. "Take care of Fiore for me, okay?" Laslow merely nodded in response and Lissa cheerfully waved a paw to her human's aunt.

Fiore, meanwhile, had their face turned beet red at the whole exchange. Auntie, please...

 

Too bad Fiore didn't notice the neighbors waving goodbye -- he was still burying their face in their hands due to the embarrassment earlier. So much that Laslow had to console them as the caravan moved.

Lissa, meanwhile, was still happily waving at the townsfolk.

 

(If I have to guess, Centbassin would be north from Vaniville Croquis, somewhere between that and Aquacorde Quarellis. Did I get it right?)

Now that they had recovered, Fiore took a look at their Cielore map to find a dot labeled Centbassin not far from Croquis. The map -- Fiore's one, at least -- also came with Aunt Coco's notes about each towns from her own diamond-seeking days. According to the note, the town of Centbassin got its name from the many enchanted pools to choose from. Laslow surely would have a field day here.

 

(In that case, I'll need to get a map of France first...)

Aunt Coco's notes

Back in my days, diamonds were actually hidden in the pools. I was lucky I could send my Dratini, Nowi, to retrieve a diamond in one of the pools, but I've also seen people being way too reckless just to nab one. Why, they swam to the diamond's place on their own only for some to drown and/or came close to drowning -- and an onlooker said that's not even the first time it'd happened.

Some time after I left Centbassin, I heard the mayor there decided to change the diamonds' location. Galifeu Tower, perhaps?

(Btw, can we please skip to the town so @Pirate Captain can join ASAP?)

 

Cele arrived at Centbassin after hearing she was to late to join when they actually set off. She had to plead for a fast Pokémon from one of the villagers to get to the next town. Luckily one of them had it so she could get there in time
It was dark as she wondered around in search for the caravan.

Eventually she saw two people who seemed to travel. Cele slowly walked up to them . "Uh are you uh searchin for uh the diamonds?" She felt nervous however at the same time she felt tired.


(I am slightly basing my character off from Karina of the game Rune Factory 2)

 

As soon as Fiore got down from the caravan, they stretched their limbs while Laslow helped Lissa down. It sure was a tiring trip. Not that long, just tiring. So much that their limbs went numb by the time the caravan had arrived at Centbassin. I mean, sure, Fiore had noticed the signs directing people to the Galifeu Tower, but it had to wait until everyone was properly recuperated.

And then the Sabian youth spotted a lilac-haired girl dressed in black (@Pirate Captain cmiiw on this one) heading his and Serena's way. "Yeah?" Fiore was not sure whether it was enough an answer. "We just got here, though."

 

@SAF I am what?? lol)

''I see, yes I would like to join. If you two do not mind. I...'' Cele started as in her mind she was more. ''I am forces to join though'' she gave a small smile at them. ''I am Cele, what is your name?''

 

(CMIIW, Correct Me If I'm Wrong. Specifically, correct me if I got my description of Cele wrong. )

Yep, the premise of more people in the caravan sounded fun. The caravan being originally consisting of Serena and Fiore totally made sense when Serena offered a room for one more caravaneer right here... right?

"Sure!" Fiore smiled brightly. "I'm Fiore, Fiorello Volt-- ow!" they introduced themself to the new girl, Cele, only for their Eevee to land on their head for some reason. "Ugh, sorry about that. This girl here is Lissa..." the blue mage said as they got their Eevee settled, then continued with a pat on their Quaxwell's shoulder, "...and the ducky guy here is Laslow."
