Mission name: For the Tree Participants: Lucien, Michaela Atalanta Catching?: Yes Spawning: 4 rounds of Pokemon found in Alterna ( Suburban, Prairie, Savannah, Farmlands, Meadow, Lakeside, Wetland), 2 challenges to getting into / around the large shrine after. Word count based. Mission details: Lucien has finished his first mission to the Xerneas tree, and inspiration for reviving the Wasteland is now spinning about in his head. He goes to the library in Alterna and discovers Michi there. They catch up after some time and decide to look around for information regarding ways to revive the tree. They visit the small Shaymin shrine in town and then are met up by some people who say there's a bigger one outside of town. They decide to go looking for it and run into numerous Pokemon along the way. Finding and getting into the shrine will be the end of the mission. Reward: Michi receives 10 move techs, Luci IC finds the shrine for the next part of his mission. A long trek back through the wasteland had left Lucien tired yet determined. His power pair, Alamea and Rio, had kept him from getting too hurt the rest of the way back and allowed him to think deeply as he did so. He’d seen it with his own eyes. The aura, the life, that spilled out of the tree was real and ready and… and there had to be a way to extend it? To restore it. To bring the entire area to life again. If one legendary Pokemon had managed to take it all in, there had to be another one to bring it all back. There just had to, right? Even if he wasn’t sure where to start, what to do, how to do it, he had to try. He had to.
A paw raised and pulled at Lucien’s hand causing him to snap back into reality. Yellow eyes flickered sideways finding Rio looking forward again. Allowing his gaze to flicker, Lucien drew in the city in the distance. Oh, they were already back into town, huh? Maybe that had been less of a walk than he had realized— oh wait nope his legs were sore as hell. Never mind. Heh. “Guess we sh’uld go ‘n get s’me food ‘n stuff huh?” Yeah. They’d been out the entire morning, and it was already passed the lunch hour. Heh, maybe he should have planned it more accordingly. Ah well.
The walk into town wasn’t as draining. He got some food for himself and for his Pokemon before finally returning them. With a coffee in hand, however, he set about walking off to the library. Maybe he could get… some information there or something, right? What do you mean that only really happened in video games?

Woah, there were so many books here. It had been a while since she'd been in the library, huh. The sheer volume of books was still a little overwhelming for Michi but thank goodness the librarian was able to help her out and tell her where the books she was looking for. Now... where was that one supposed to be? Man, all these numbers were confusing. Why couldn't they be sorted in an easier way? Who was this 'Dewey' guy and why did he make such a weird system? It took Michi entirely too long to figure out where the book on berries and herbs she was looking for was located. And then when she found it, it was above her head. Great... Well, maybe there was someone tall that could help her? The librarian had been patient but even with her empathy off, Michi could tell that she really didn't want to be disturbed any more than necessary. I can do this. Maybe. Jumping a bit, Michi tried to at least reach the book but just barely reached the cover. Umm... right, maybe not. Looking around for someone to help her, Michi saw someone that looked like they could reach the book. They looked busy though... Ummm... Well, maybe if she just tried a few more times. Yeah! Jumping for the book again, Michi squeaked a bit when she nearly fell into the bookshelf. Ehhh... yeah, that wouldn't work at all, nope. Sigh. Hopefully the tol person wasn't in as bad a mood as the librarian was. "Umm, excuse me? Could you help me reach a book, mister?" Michi asked uncertainly, her voice little more than a squeak. The guy was a giant but... well... maybe he was nice? Hopefully? Please let him be nice.

Hmmmmmuhmmmmmm. Where should he even start? Lucien's eyes flickered form one bookshelf to another. He had… no actual idea of what he was looking for and no sense of what to even ask. The librarian had seemed busy when he had come to the front desk, but maybe he'd have to loop back around and ask her anyways. Huh- maybe in the historical texts or something? Excuse me- Huh? Luci stopped walking and turned on his heels. Could you help me reach a book? Yellow eyes dropped downwards reflecting red ones with something akin to surprise.
"Michi?" It was her. From her pale hair, red eyes, and general disposition to the aura radiating off of her in that soothing gentle way, he recognized her easily enough. It had been months since he'd actually seen her, but her aura stood out in his mind for one reason or another ever since his vision had become clear and- heh yeah. "Yooo been a while yeh?" he asked bending down dramatically to flash a grin at her. "Ya ferget what ah look like?" Never mind that he had grown half a foot since he had last seen her.

As the man turned around, Michi found herself staring up at a somewhat familiar face. Do I know him? For whatever reason, she couldn't quite place it at least until he spoke her name. Red eyes grew wide as a bright grin appeared on her features. "Lucien!" came the excited squeak, hugging him tight before much else could be said. A soft giggle would escape Michi as he went on, shaking her head at the silly question. "No, I didn't! You just grew a lot! I saw your back first was all," Michi explained brightly, grinning from ear to ear. "I didn't think I'd see you here though! What have you been up to? We really should catch up huh?" She had so much to tell him now! Like how she remembered some of her past and what had happened as a result. There were people that were like family here in Veria and then there was Luke and everything. The book could wait for the time being, Lucien was far more important than that.

The sudden hug earned fold of arms back. Easing up right after, however, he chuckled softly reaching back to feel through his hair. "Yeh, I saw ya briefly at tha contest 'ut." Briefly. Much too briefly. He had seen her stage performance more specifically, heh. The situation that had transpired directly after the performances had sort of taken precedence, and he kind of maybe even forgot to congratulate her like he was planning to. Well, fuck Niso Konto for that too.
Ehehehe. What was he up to, though? A slower, lazier smile pulled onto his features. "Wuz actually jus'… lookin' round mostly," he answered allowing his gaze to flicker off down the rows of books. "Ya wanna go fer a walk 'n catch up, instead?" he asked with a wry grin. There was a librarian squinting from the front desk, and even with his back to her, Lucien was aware of her. Best take their conversation elsewhere, yeah.
If she agreed, he'd pretty much tug them both out of the library pretty quickly for now. "What've ya been up ta? Cogratz on tha perfroamnce bah tha way~"

Upon hearing that Lucien had seen her at the contest, Michi beamed up at him. That contest had been so much fun and she'd really enjoyed seeing all the different performances. "Yeah!? You were great, Lucien!" The next couple answers had her giggling a little bit up until he asked if she wanted to go for a walk. Red eyes glistened with excitement as she nodded emphatically. YES! Of course she wanted to! The library was nice, but catching up with Lucien sounded a lot more fun right then and there. "Yes! I mean, so much has happened and-..." Oh, right. They were in the library and her excited rambling was probably not welcome. The librarian was kinda cranky today after all and well... it would be best not to get on her bad side huh. It seemed Lucien had the same idea as her and they were both out of the library pretty quickly all things considered. The next words Lucien said had Michi beaming all over again. "Thank you~, congratulations to you too! I had so much fun in the performance and I can't wait to do it again! Are you planning on joining the contest coming up? I heard they're gonna allow doubles this time! Isn't that cool?" She was really excited about it and well, if she could find a partner to help her that would be fun too. Otherwise Michi wasn't exactly sure what she could do on her own. Love was such a foreign thing to her but well, she could think of something! "OH! But I have a job with the berry professor now and I found out about my family... well, sorta. I got my memories back, Lucien~! Or, at least some of them." Spinning around a bit, Michi giggled a bit more, eyes bright with excitement. "What about you? How've you been? Anything new happen?"

A wild grin came and went from Lucien's features as Michi spoke. He had indeed heard the announcement about the contest and may have already had some basic ideas of what he wanted to do but… heh. He could already tell he was going to be distracted for the next couple of weeks, probably. Reaching both hands back and cupping his neck, Lucien shrugged emphatically after a moment. "T soun's like fun 'ut I'mma be busy 'round dat time."
It seemed Michi wasn't going to linger on that subject, however, as she quickly went on. His lips quirked a little, and a small head-nod was given. He had gotten her texts in and around the time she had found clues to her origins and her new job, but he hadn't really asked much about them in text. That was just… something to do more in person or over a phone call neither of which had happened since.
As Michi redirected the conversation, however, Lucien snorted softly and allowed his gaze to flicker forward again. "Ah nothin' much jus' doin' what ah do," he answered lazily smirking a bit. "Trainin' some 'n learnin' stuff~ 'Lmost done wit' school." Almost, he said, with a full two semesters left. But- but almost anyways. "Ya know dat huge scary place outside 'f town? Tha Wasteland? Went 'n saw that recently." He… actually did not remember how much he had told her about his relationship to it or his sister or … any of that.
And in fact, he really hadn't. Michi didn't need to hear about his family troubles or to know that Niso Konto had targeted them specifically. She didn't need to know about all the anger he had built up over months that cultivated into punching the living shit out of Niso and breaking his nose for months on end in the process. She was much to pure and untouchable for any of that, heh~~~

A look of disappointment flashed across Michi's features when Lucien mentioned that he might be busy about that time. Awww, that was too bad... it would've been fun to do a performance together but maybe there would be other times! Yeah, there was always later, wasn't there! Smiling again, Michi rambled on about what she'd been doing before asking the same of Lucien. His answer was vague but oh, being almost done with school was pretty cool! The next question had her blinking a bit owlishly when he asked about the Wasteland. Umm... had she been there before? "No... I don't think I've seen it but the name 'Wasteland' sounds scary. What's it like?" Michi asked curiously, tilting her head a bit. With a name like that, it didn't really sound like a place she'd really want to go but well, if Lucien went there it couldn't be that bad. Maybe?

Michi's expression and aura was enough to have told Lucien that she didn't know. However, as she vocalized it and question it, he found himself pausing and glancing forward. "Ah, ya heard 'bout that bad guy on TV? Niso Konto? 'E … did some really bad stuff there 'n everything is dead now." Not everything. Thomas was alive. Elena was alive. Xerneas was most definitely alive, but aside from that? Hundreds of Pokemon, plants, and maybe even animals had been slaughtered there. A weak sigh escaped from Lucien. "Mah sista 'lmost died der durin' tha bad stuff 'ut a god kinda 'elped 'er out… wanted ta go say thanks." Even if it had been an extremely stressful trek there.
A weird breath drew in and out of him. "Ah wanna try 'n figure out a way ta help et," he admitted with a weak smile. "Wanna see et come ta life again…nawt sure where ta start…" The library, probably, but there were so many books and so little open answers. A hand reached back and rubbed the hairs at the back of his neck. "Ya have any idea?"

Lucien's first question had Michi pausing in turn as she thought about this 'bad guy'. Niso Konto? Umm, that name didn't really ring a bell, not really. A quick shake of her head would be given before Lucien expanded on his own. Red eyes grew when Michi heard that everything in the Wasteland was dead now. That was horrible! Why would anyone ever do that! All those plants and Pokemon and and- ...her eyes might have been tearing up a little bit just at the thought. Taking a deep breath, Michi tried to calm down only to hear that Lucien's sister almost died. A sorrow-filled squeak would be all that Michi could manage before she took a few steps forward and hugged Lucien tight. Her throat was too tight to say anything right then but... she could relate a little too well to what Lucien might be feeling or had felt. The next words had the pinkette stepping backwards, setting a hand on her chin in thought. Something to help plants and life in general grow again. Hmmmm.... Michi's eyes lit up with a sudden idea and all too quickly she was pulling at Lucien's hand, running through the streets of Alterna. That statue had to be around here somewhere... where was- THERE! In the center of town was the statue of Shaymin, something that Michi had always loved about the town. Shaymin was just so cute and from what she'd read about it, it would be perfect for what Lucien was talking about. "Do you know about the history of Alterna? Someone told me that it used to be a desert, kinda like the Wasteland you were talking about. But Shaymin here blessed the ground and well~..." Michi explained, spinning around in a flourish as if to demonstrate how far Alterna had come from being a desert. "I think I remember there being a shrine to Shaymin here too! Might be a good place to start at least, yeah?"

Lucien tensed ever so slightly as Michi hugged around him. He hadn't invited that physical contact but wasn't … gonna push her away too much. Thankfully it was brief as she seemed to think over his question instead. H-huh? Where were they going? As Michi pulled him, Lucien followed. What was- Why were they running?! As they came to a stop, Lucien leaned over his knees, not willing to admit that a simple run was kind of draining.
Did… did he know the history of Alterna? Lucien righted himself again slowly with a weird half-smile. Someone told me it used to be a desert but Shaymen blessed the ground… Shaymin, a gratitude Pokemon, a creature that brought nature in the wake of everything else. How had… he not even thought of that? Golden eyes held on the statue for a few moment as Luci just.. took it in. A shrine too-
"That's right, miss," an old woman's voice had Lucien tensing very briefly all over again. However, as his vision captured her, he relaxed.
"Is der? Like… a big story 'ne?" Lucien asked.
The woman smiled a little knowingly and gave a nod. "The one we have in town- that constitutes this statue also- is a commemorative one… But there is a very large one outside of town…. It's a little run down these days, sadly."
Lucien blinked several times in rapid succession. There was… a big shrine outside of Alterna? Why had… he never seen this before, heh? Maybe cause he wasn't looking but… Wonder if I could sense its aura… Probably not… the trail had gone cold for it years ago… It still wouldn't hurt to look, though? "Iz der anythin' 'lse 'round 'ere like et??" The woman put a hand to her chin and then shook her head. Lucien gave a small nod back. Ok, cool. One shrine temple thing….

Michi didn't really notice how tired the run had made Lucien but did pause briefly before explaining why she'd brought them here. That smile didn't really look encouraging but she went on regardless, her voice quieting when she mentioned the shrine. The old woman affirming this thought had Michi beaming at her, giving a nod of thanks. Good! So she had remembered correctly after all~. As the woman explained more about the statue and said that there was another bigger one outside town, Michi looked back at Lucien. This was good, right? Maybe the shrine would be a good thing but... if it was a little run down, maybe they could try and dress it up some? Hmmm... If there was only one shrine, it sounded like a good place to start. "Thank you, ma'am~, do you know if there are any caretakers we can talk to? It'd be great to go see it. Maybe fix it up a bit too," Michi asked brightly, looking over at Lucien for confirmation that this was ok. It could be fun after all, she already had a few ideas for cleaning it up and making it inviting but ah... that depended on how far away the shrine was, didn't it. Well, finding it would be the first thing to do then.

The woman's lips pursed, and a small head shake was given. "Sorry dearie, but I don't know of anyone who takes care of it anymore." She sighed looking to the statue and focusing on it instead. "My husband used to, but he has long since passed."
Lucien's lips pressed together. He was… very aware of the aura that the woman was now displaying: the sense of sadness dipped in nostalgia. He didn't know how far her emotions went, but if they were going out that way anyways for sure then: "Ya want s'me pictures 'f et 'f we go?" he asked.
The woman blinked before smiling. "Thank you dear, that would be lovely."
Lucien flashed a grin sideways to Michi. "Anywhere we c'n start?" he asked.
The woman pointed off down a street. "Just keep heading that way even through the forest line." She assured.
Lucien gave a small nod and then smiled. "Lessgo," he murmured as much to himself as to Michi. This was a good lead. Much better than he had before. Hopefully it wouldn't fizzle out, though.

O-oh... that was so sad... Even without her empathy on, Michi could tell that the woman was upset at explaining that there were no caretakers anymore. But Shaymin had done so much for this town! Why would they just neglect something like that. It didn't make sense but Lucien's question about pictures seemed to lighten the mood at least a little. That was good. Smiling back, Michi nodded at the woman. "We'll take lots and lots of pictures, don't worry! It'll be like you're right there with us~," Michi assured, giggling a little when she saw Lucien's grin. Oh, right... knowing where the shrine was located was important. Still, if it was anything like the statue in town, Michi couldn't wait to go see it. Hmm, they just needed to go through the forest? Oh, that was so cool! She loved the forest so much and-... right, pay attention Michi. "If it's in the forest, we'll find it~," Michi grinned assuredly. She felt most at home in the forest after all, even if it wasn't necessarily Alto's forest, it was still nice. At Lucien's next words, Michi nodded and started running in the direction of the forest only to remember that was probably rude. Turning back to the old lady, she waved and smiled. "Thanks again, ma'am! We'll be back soon!" They had to show her more pictures after all. Michi would hang back only long enough for Lucien to catch up before heading towards the forest line. This was going to be a lot of fun, she could already tell.
