{RP} The S.S. Wishmaker - Tides of Witchcraft

[Shruikan]

Luneth Tarot (& Glimmer)
Near the ship’s exit
Affected RP'ers: @Chakramaster, @Neo Shaymin

Glimmer listened intently as Jarena gave an explanation of how one could likely find shadowcraft books nowadays, before leaving with a warning about the magic to rejoin her companions. “Shaymin shay shay!” (“Thank you so much! I’ll be very careful,”) Glimmer said, smiling back at Jarena. “Shay shay shaymin!” (“And I wish you the best of luck for the future!”)

So, mission complete. Now she just had to get back to Luneth and see if she’d given the guy with Jirachi the gifts yet.
Ash she began to walk back into the ship, something trickled down in the back of her mind. Just as she’d been approaching Jarena, hadn’t Cassandra mentioned Jirachi? She looked back at the trainer Cassandra had been talking to. He certainly fit Luneth’s description of the Jirachi trainer from earlier. The one that Luneth was buying gifts for right now. The one who was leaving the Wishmaker at this very moment!

Well, there was one fast way to confirm if it was the right guy. “Min! Shaymin! Shaymin min?” (“Hey! Jirachi guy! You speak pokemon right?”)
Upon seeing that he did indeed understand her, Glimmer bounced on the spot in a kind of excited jig. Shay, Shaymin! Shaymin shay min shay, min?” (“Um, can you stay right here please! I know someone who’s looking for you, they want to give you something. I’ll just go get them real quick! Don’t move ‘til I get back, OK?”)

Luneth had packed up all her belongings ready to go, and was just asking the receptionist if she knew which of the passengers had the Jirachi when Glimmer came hurtling back to her.

“Oh Glimmer, did they tell you-” Luneth began, before quickly being cut off.
“SHAYMIN! SHAY. SHAY. MIN. SHAY.” (“NO TIME! JIRACHI. LEAVING. DOCKS. NOW.” The Shaymin panted, barely able to catch her breath.
Luneth understood, and quickly finished checking out, before lifting the wheezing Shaymin and herself onto Circuit’s back.
“Ok Circuit, you still remember the map right? You know where to go?”
The Silvally looked up thoughtfully for a second, then nodded. Despite Luneth in theory being able to understand him now, Circuit had yet to say anything, though weather he couldn’t or was just quiet Luneth had yet to figure out.
Either way, he had a very good memory, and quickly bounded off towards departures, while being careful not to accidentally hit anyone in his haste.

As they reached the exit of the ship, she quickly saw the familiar spiky hair and Pikachu of the trainer from earlier. Luneth rushed over to him, waving as she approached.

“Hi again! I just wanted to thank Jirachi. Being a pokemon was like a dream come true for me, and being able to properly understand them I the greatest gift I’ve ever received, so I wanted to properly show my appreciation.”
Luneth handed over the bag of Jirachi merch. “Sorry I didn’t have time to wrap anything. I got them in a bit of a hurry,” she said apologetically. “I just wanted to make sure Jirachi got these before you left.”
“Anyway, I guess this is goodbye. Safe journeys, and I hope our paths cross again someday!”

Luneth waved as they parted ways, taking one last look back at the Wishmaker as she headed properly into Castelia. It had certainly been appropriately named, pretty much everything Luneth had every wished for had happened on that cruise. She found herself reluctant to leave.

Circuit made a repeated clicking sound, like the tick of a clock. “He says it’s getting late.” Glimmer translated. Oh right, the flight home was scheduled to leave in an hour. They’d better get a move on or they might miss it. Plus, on the way she and her pokemon had a lot to talk about anyway.

“So, did you get any info from the Ladies?” Luneth asked once the cruise liner was a reasonable distance behind them.
“Min!” (“Yup!”) The Shaymin beamed. “Min shay min, shaymin.” (“Jarena said that the best bet would be mom and pop stores, but you’d need to visit in person.”)
“That makes sense. Especially now that the League will be cracking down on it too. Hmm. Fancy taking another trip once we get back?”

One journey was over, but perhaps it had formed the catalyst for a new one…
