[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

You had a gut feeling that Sutalor would continue to defy your expectations at every corner, but then again you were warned frequently how insane this Region was. Nobody probably expected anything like that happening to you, though.

Swiftly, you meet with the man, and upon getting a good close up of him...

...you can 100% confirm he's a most dandy and groovy man indeed.

The fellow flashes you a rougish but friendly grin as they give a salute before point a finger gun at you.

"Well ain't that fine and dandy! Got worried spotting someone here as I was cruising 'around - this beach is not exactly the safest place for a fellow to wander into, ya know? These are the outskirts of Bayhama and...well, their ain't any of those damn Jellies 'round, but that's about all the good I can say! *Slicks back hair with a smirk* He, 'course I can handle myself just fine, *Rubs chin, Thoughtful Look* ..and you seem like you're packing some serious firepower yourself, cowboy. Hmm...probably turned out just fine.... *Grins* but that don't mean a fellow can't help another fellow out, ya know?"

At this point this dandy man offers a handshake and a bright, closed-eye grin.

"Name's Rodger, but most call me Dodger! Fastest and slickest man in all of Sutalor, you can bet on that! Good to meet ya, mate!"

Seddi raises an eyebrow.  Fastest and slickest, huh?  Best keep an eye on his pokeballs and pack, just in case...

For now though, the fellow seems nice enough, so Seddi will shake the groovy stranger's hand. The cowboy's gloved grip is firm.

"Name's Seddi.  So we're near Bayahama?  That's where I need to be goin', so that works out I suppose.  Let's walk and talk if you don't mind.  No sense hanging around here if it's dangerous, and I've got someone I need to be meetin' back up with.  Could use some directions."

On that note, Seddi pulls out his Rotom Phone, checking if there's any recent messages from the Professor.  If she'd been trying to call him, he hadn't noticed yet, but he has no doubt that she'd be trying to contact him and figure out what the heck just happened.  Thankfully, his phone hadn't been fried by supernatural phenomena this time, so getting back in touch with her shouldn't be the most difficult thing in the world.  Once he's confirmed he's in a safe enough location to make a call uninterrupted, that is.

Seddi's also making sure to pay attention to that...feeling the gemstone is giving off. If it's trying to guide him, then it'd likely be a good idea to pay attention to if he happens to be going in the direction it wants him to. Whether he actually wants to follow it now or not is another matter, but getting back to the city comes first.

In the meantime, while they're making their way back to the city...

"So what makes that beach so dangerous if the Sutalöran 'jellies' aren't the primary problem?  Can't say it looks like a very interesting beach at a glance."
