What a buncha dumb rules, Juki thought with distaste as he hesitantly answered the oath. Why help others when all they do is take advantage of you? Then again, I have to follow these rules if I wanna find her again... The warlock looked at his Grovyle, who grunted as if he knew what his partner was thinking.
@Laserdragon14 @Jupjami Once all the final vows and blessings had been made, the majestic portal opened with a sparkly blue swirl. One by one, the apprentice Travelers stepped into the portal, off towards far away worlds...
"Are you two ready to go?" Shadow asked his two Pokémon companions. Houndoom barked happily and Rapidash nickered with energy. "I guess that answers my question," Shadow says with a smile.
(I don't mind either~) Juki smirked at his Grovyle and Spearow, to which the Pokémon smirked back. All three thought the same thing. This is gonna be fun.
Shadow carefully led Rapidash near the portal with Houndoom close behind. He noticed a boy with a Grovyle and a Spearow, but thought nothing of it.
@Laserdragon14 @Jupjami (Most worlds you visit will not be dangerous, but your training has prepared you for the chance you end up in a dangerous world.)
Shadow got his bow out. Rapidash stamped her foot impatiently. "I'm ready to start my walk," said Shadow as he got closer to the portal.
@Laserdragon14 "Remember, you can only walk to the next world by solving a problem in the world you came from." the guild master reminds you as you step through the portal. "May you return with tales to tell." You walk through the starry path between worlds until you arrive in a medieval plane of misty valleys and storm-wracked oceans, beneath an azure sky.
"What in the world?" said Shadow as he looked at his surroundings. "Are you two ok?" Rapidash looked nervous while Houndoom looked at everything with great curiosity.
@Laserdragon14 At first, nothing seems too different from your home world. There are still humans here, and a number of other races.
He got onto Rapidash's back and urged her forward. "We might as well do some exploring while we are here," said Shadow as he put his bow away since there didn't see to be anything dangerous nearby.
@Jupjami You step through the portal, where you walk along a starry path leading to different worlds. Before long you come to a medieval realm of emerald forests, amber moors, and storm-wracked seas. The realm is mostly populated by humans, though with large numbers of other races.
"Nice world~" Juki grinned as he and his Pokémon began walking to the nearest settlement. "I wonder if the people here like gladiator fights..?"
@Jupjami At the moment, the road is quiet and peaceful. There are a few travelers headed to town with things to sell--it is probably market day in this world. "Hail, world-walker." a man smiles at you.
"I wonder what I'm going to have to do for this world," Shadow wondered out loud as he continued to ride Rapidash down a trail. "There has to be something."
@Laserdragon14 You notice that all the people are clustered into walled settlements. Large footprints and ruins of vulnerable settlements are a clue that SOMETHING is destroying villages, towns, and cities that are not walled.
