WARNING: BEAVER CROSSING

[equality]

Hey, Island residents! Do you like Bidoof? A lot? Great! Because you're going to get to meet a WHOLE BUNCH of them today!

It's a stampede! An uncountable number of the normal types, as well as a few of their older dual type cousins, are very determined to get from one unknown part of the Island to another, and they don't really care about what's in their way.

Fortunately, there's plenty of roofs to climb up on, and surely there are enough bore- I mean, kind people out there who are willing to share their perch or rescue you if you get stuck. Plus, the beavers themselves aren't all that tough (for the most part), so fighting your way through is an option, too... Whatever you choose to do, this mess isn't going to end until tomorrow morning. Have fun!

[There's one thing here that isn't getting carried away, and might not actually object to being used as a perch. It's hard for even a stampede of Bidoof to carry a one-ton dinosaur away, after all.

Yes, there's a big shiny Groudon in the middle of the stream here. They're mostly obliged to divert around her, though some of them are squeezing through the gap between her legs and her tail, which she's got down for extra stability. If she was facing the other way, they might be trying to walk over her. Either way, Terra looks more amused than anything else.]

I didn't know it was migration season.

[Mixed in with the Bidoof, though, a certain Ponyta-Reshiram is trying to avoid getting squished. It's harder when you're smaller then normal - right now, he just looks like a fluffier Ponyta. But then, Ninten sees Groudon, and speaks up. A shiny legendary? Now wasn't that nostalgiac?]
You-- may I rest on you?

[terra_et_sol]

Hm? [Well, that's an... oddly fluffy Ponyta. But he's so small that there's surely no harm.]

Oh, of course. [She puts a big, shovellike hand down for him to climb onto so that she can lift him up.]

[nuzlocker]

[And up he leaps, powerfully.]
Thankyou, Groudon. [He bowed, after getting firmly on the hand.] It has been a long time...

[terra_et_sol]

[She smiles a little - which, even as warm as the expression is, is frankly terrifying - and brings him up closer to her face to speak to him more easily.] Most of my friends call me Terra. It helps sometimes - there can be multiple versions of people here, even ones like us.

Though I don't believe I recall meeting you before. [Though that jump was quite impressive.]

[nuzlocker]

[Ninten gave a nod - even in the face of danger, he's not normally scared for himself. Others, on the other hand...] No, I believe we have not met, Terra. It is rare to find a shiny, especially a legendary such as yourself. I currently go by Ninten - my trainer and I are trapped in this island.
[...]
Though it may not appear it, I am not as I appear. It would be distressing if there was another me. [Because then it'd be another doomed universe...]

[terra_et_sol]

[Terra gives him a skeptical look.] You'll probably just have to get used to it; there are multiple versions of a lot of individuals. Though normally when multiple versions of a legendary Pokemon appear they're distinctly different people.

So far all of my counterparts have been red, at least a bit more masculine, and murderously insane, but that doesn't seem to be the case for most people.

[nuzlocker]

Ah... that's good. You see, I myself am a legendary. Though I cannot show it... now is not the time. If I were to reveal myself, it may ruin all the hard work Mother Arceus has done.
[Ninten shook his head.]
But that is in my world. [His world which may have vanished already, destroyed by a foolish wisher.] Tell me, is this land at peace? I have not been able to tell, with all these oddities.

[terra_et_sol]

About as at peace as it can be. It seems to manage itself quite well, even if it is a bit... odd, sometimes. The island is a bit less well-adjusted than most landmasses, but it seems quite happy without a Giratina watching over it.
