Ethos - wow! Upon entry, the jaw-dropping sight of a lush and healthy region of land splayed out in all directions greets anyone daring enough to select this realm to visit. From a bird's eye view, the stone for Ethos, like many worlds, centers travelers above a city, this one literally circular in design - concentric rings made up the streets, and from the outer rings reached foot paths that spread far further than the eye can see. Stunningly, there are living creatures up in the sky - unlike many worlds, the native fauna ecosystem extends clear into the sky. Far away, mountain ranges, bodies of water and some more difficult to recognize landmarks could be seen, the lot of them having access to them by the same sorts of paths attached to the city. Based on the rich greens, pinks and other colors the land was awash in, the season is obviously in Spring, or something equivalent!

Together, Fawful and Rosalina descended toward the ground. Even though Fawfulina is easily among the most aerially adept teams currently active, they too had balloons - Fawful's being green and Rosalina's being light blue. The standard warning message emanated from their balloons, in the voice of the founder of Harrow Plains.
"These balloons will help you land where you want instead of having to walk straight off. They're what's keeping you from going splat - do not pop the balloons. If you pop the balloons and then fail to come up with a way to stick the landing, every single one of your fellows will laugh at you for sucking. You'll likely be dead or at least maimed, though!" However, of all the teams likely to splat against the ground, Fawful and Rosalina somehow seemed to be at the bottom of the list.
Speaking of local fauna, a curious red-breasted bird with dark blue wings and a white belly of feathers diverted from its path to investigate BatB. If it meant to be hostile it wasn't openly - it was just cruising along, seeing what was up with them. It's not every day two humanoids with balloons appear in the sky out of nowhere.

Fawful will look at the strange bird with the curiosity. Fawful will gently float towards the town area
Rosalina will gently hold out her hand and will gently call the bird over with a warm and inviting smile. As she slowly descends towards the town area.

Beauty and the Bean
For some reason, the (about 2 foot tall) bird found itself drawn to Rosalina, and it was happy to fly alongside her and receive attention on the way towards the ground. It was quite a fine escort, as no other birds paid them much mind as the three descended out of the open sky and onto their landing target: the crisp and modern city of rings! The streets are all very well paved, and since it was not very late in this world, there were tons of people out and about on them! Oddly enough, even though the two of them just descended upon balloons, nobody seemed to pay much attention to them – this was the kind of city where strange looking people are just taken in stride, clearly. While most people were chatting, milling about from place to place, or making out (ok, that was just one random couple), Fawful and Rosalina noticed a special activity taking place – fighting, actually! A pair of lithe young men were shouting commands to a pair of creatures entirely unlike the bird that followed them, and it became evident after only watching briefly that this was the activity that the image on the stone referred to. The ring that they'd landed on appeared to be residential in nature, as it happened!
However, the uninhibited bird seemed displeased with the fact that they had gone all the way to the ground. When it becomes clear that the two are unlikely to take back to the sky, he just flaps around in the air, glancing back and forth between Fawful, Rosalina, and a few of his kind up in the sky. He briefly lands as he stares upwards, clicking his sweet red feet on the ground and positioning both of his large tail feathers downward.

"Hmm that's very odd, you don't really see anything like that at home," Rosalina comments.
Fawful notices the bird escort flying around them. Ahh so a flying contest you want. A flying contest you shall have. Fawful goes ahead and flys after the bird.
Rosalina just sighs. Then she walks around and asks anyone (but the two young men battling) what they are doing. She's knew around here and isn't really use to the area.

Fawful and Rosalina
Happily, the coarse feathered bird flew alongside Fawful. He seemed obviously amazed at the mechanism which the bean was using to fly - it was nothing like the way he flew with his wings. Together, they flew upward to where a few of his own kind were gliding. "Sweeee!" he said proudly to the others, happy to show off Fawful the mechanical flying being.
"Well!" they said, squawking individually in approval. It seemed they were impressed, but not nearly as much as the first one was.
Rosalina, on the other hand, easily got the attention of some adult women who were watching the two boys battle. "Oh, those are are kids. They're just having a duel with their Pokemon, nothing special." said one.
The other, a chubbier lady, laughed out loud. "If you don't know about Pokemon, you really are from far away! They're just nice animals and things that people put in little balls and have matches and fun with!"
Ah, interesting.

Oh yeah we don't have those type of animals where I am from. If one is interested in getting one of these Pokemon. Where would you go is there some type of paperwork or something? How does one become a trainer?
Fawful has the Chlortles and will show off his honor at meeting them in the international language of dancing.

Fawfulina
"Fairy strict paperwork, yes." The moms nodded in agreement. "Before they let you have Pokeballs, you have to submit to a background check, psych evaluation and all that great stuff. Pokemon can become quite strong, so it's only natural that they make sure anyone trainin' em is safe. But I think ye can start that up at most Pokemon Centers, and those are everywhere! Even right there's one!" She pointed over at a building painted to look like those red and white balls that the young guys threw.
Up in the sky, the flying creatures mostly just stared as Fawful gyrated around. However, the one that had initially taken interest shook his tailfeather alongside him. Soon enough, though, the others had grown bored of Fawful, and began to fly a bit faster. They simply said "Swe!" and hurried up. Looking a little sad, the still flying initial specimen made glances back and forth from Fawful to the birds of his kind, and then back down to where Rosalina was. He looked unsure of what to do.

Rosalina
"Thank you so much for your help young ladys,". "You have been ever so helpful to a traveler,". "My name is Rosalina and I really appreciate the help," Rosalina says to the young ladies. As soon as the ladies say there goodbyes she heads to a Pokemon center to start the paperwork.
Fawful
Fawful has the fury towards the birds that are uninterested. Fawful then notices the one who's left behind. Fawful has the sympathy and then has the idea of greatness.
"You my fellow winged friend, join me and the lady,". "We shall have many adventures and many journeys,". "Together with our partnership, we shall do many great things together,". Fawful holds out his hands and looks towards the bird.
"So what do you say about joining me and the Rosalina partner?" Fawful asks the bird with the calmness and the waiting.

Beauty and the Bean
The ladies go back to watching their sons after some "Oh, you flatterer" type tittering at being called young ladies. They weren't old hags, though, so it surely came across as a genuine compliment even though they were just random npcs and not anyone of note.
"Ell!" The bird perked up upon being asked what it had been, somehow understanding Fawful's intent even though it could not speak the same language as he. With vigor, it pleasantly flew with Fawful downward back to the bean's ally. From there, it began pecking the air toward the building that had been referred to as a Pokemon Center, and then towards one of the balls that another trainer was carrying. Then the avian ally looked back at Fawful and Rosalina as if he were expecting something.

Rosalina and the Bean
Rosalina heads over towards the Pokemon Center when she sees Fawful swoop down towards her.
"The bird wishes to join us on our most glorious journey," Fawful says.
"Well just so happen I was about to head to the Pokemon center and start the process,". "Come on Mr. Bird join us and become our very first friend here in Ethos," Roslina says to the bird. Rosalina has a gentle smile on her face and is holding out her hand.
Fawful to will join Rosalina and the bird and will sign up to be a trainer.

Rosa and Faw
Faw lmfao. Somehow shortening Fawful isn't that cool. But the bird clearly found Fawful quite appealing, and when Rosalina offered to join and be their friend, he cooed pleasantly and spread his wings. It was as if he were presenting himself as a target for something. He was confused when nothing happened, but nonetheless flapped up and perched on Rosalina's hand. He was a large bird, a few feet tall actually - but as he was a bird, he could always land on someone in a crown's hand. That was just one of the perks of being space queen or goddess or mama whatever that is meant to be. Together, the trio walked into a Pokemon center. Soft, relaxing but cheerful music was piped into the building through a loudspeaker, and unlike the outside of it, which looked like one of those balls, the inside looked like a hospital combined with a hotel combined with a public plaza combined with a store. There were people using it as a meeting place, as well as people shopping and handing over some of their orbs to a nurse with the pinkest hair F or R had ever seen. There was also a desk with a thin black haired chap sitting at it, which wasn't attached to the shop area or the medical side. Since there were all kinds of pamphlets atop it, this seemed to them to be the one to speak to.
Once they asked for the signup, he nodded. "Which of you wants to train Pokemon? You or you? Or is this a doubles affair? Either way, we'll need to clear up three things - a background check, which could take a little while or not too long depending on how it goes, a basic psychological exam which you can take right here, and a sponsor from the Ethos regional community - someone established as a solid judge of character that can vouch for you. Overall, not too much. Once you're cleared, you're cleared."
Wait, could they even do a background check on Fawful or Rosalina? They weren't from Ethos.

Rosalina and Fawful
"Well we are both looking to become individual trainers," Rosalina said. Fawful nodded in agreement.
"Well umm we are from a distant land the Mushroom Kingdom,". "Oh when we first arrived here this fellow here took intrest in us,". (Rosalina points towards the bird.). "It seemed like it took a liking to us so we would like to take care of him but I think we need a red and white ball thing," Rosalina added.
Fawful lands next to Rosalina.
"I shall show the paperwork my chlortles,". "Then the test shall fall before me," Fawful has the chlortles.
"Well then shall we get started," Rosalina asked.
(Now all I mean is montage music to Rosalina and Fawful filling out paperwork.)

Beauty and the Bean
The initial paperwork that Rosalina and Fawful had to fill out proved not very advanced. Mostly it just had to do with their identity, where they live, their profession, those sorts of things. After they'd been filled out and handed to the man attending the desk, he looked them over and comes to a significant conclusion. “Somehow, this is pointing me towards the direction of you being from somewhere not on this planet. I think I have heard of people not being born on our world getting Trainer Licenses, but without a background check, it's going to be that much harder. The whole discovery of other realities baffles me, so apologies for any misunderstandings.” He seemed sincere about that, at least.
“I am required to ask you this: moving forward, are you willing to consent to having your brain waves scanned by a Pokemon in our employ, and do you know which Pokemon Trainer you will be asking to act as your Sponsor?” This slender employee had done a lot of sign-ups in his day.

Rosalina and Fawful...
"Umm sure if that's what's required,". Rosalina tells the guy. Fawful nods in agreement.
"Umm we kinda of just got here so we aren't too familiar with any of the local trainers,". "Is there a way to somehow get a sponsor if we are unfamiliar with the area,". "Also this fellow over here wants to join us and is willing to follow us," (Rosalina points towards the Tailow or Swellow). "Is there a way you can help us along sir?" Rosalina looks towards the young man with the sweetest and gentlest smile.

(Tis a Swellow, identifiable based on the way he was speaking. He said stuff like Swe and not Stuff like Ail or w/e. Soz, I know the two Pokemon look similar)
Fawfulina
A mysterious looking creature resembling a girl with green hair and a white dress popped out of one of a ball nearby, and made a beeline for them. Obviously a gentle soul in demeanor, it began emitting a slight aura. Fawful and Rosalina could just barely feel the sensation of it scanning their brain waves, but not enough to distract either of them from whatever else was happening at the moment.
The man behind the desk seemed sympathetic to their plight, and addressed the bird PKMN. "You wanna go with them? Really?" It nodded, and he pressed further. "They didn't tell you to say that or anything? You just saw them and thought they were nice?" It nodded once more, and he sighed. "Without a background check available for either of you, you'll definitely need a good sponsor to get your license. One thing I do know is that most people from out of this world list Professor Sycamore as their sponsor. Do you happen to know him? I ask because I don't think any of his friends who wanted to have been turned down to become Trainers."
Actually, now that Fawful thought about it, didn't he know two trainers? They hadn't spoken for too long, but May and Dawn said they were from Ethos. They weren't likely to be as reputable as Professor S, whoever that was.
