Star's Shrine: Exploded Edition
*A loud explosion rocks the city, the source of which is Star's Shrine. The entire shrine is either burnt to ashes or rubble. Star is nowhere to be seen.*
A green-haired boy slowly wakes up, coughing at the smoke. He sits up and looks around. He was... what had he been doing before this? He blankly stares at the ruins in front of him. Something... something... destroyed this, right?
A man squats near the entrance taking photos. He whistles aloud with the snap of a shudder. "Man. I can't tell what's worse! The disrespect, or the safety code violations!" He snickers quietly to himself, he'd surveyed the area so there wasn't really any defining evidence of murder. Not that he'd been able to find of course.
...aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHH SHIT!! a strange, blue and gray sphere the size of a mega marble drops from the sky in front of the shrine. ...shit, ow...aww, there goes my house...damn.
It takes a minute for the boy to register the person nearby. He blinks, then wobbles as he gets to his feet. "Um... who... are you?" He tilts his head at them. What are they? A... pokémon turned human like himself? But this guy didn't even have that thing... He yelps and nearly falls over when the giant sphere falls.

Gou laughs. Clearly the events unfolding please him. "Who am I? I'm me! Anyway, looks like we've got the perpetrator right there! Alright!" He claps his hands together and bows his head. "Oh Lord please punish this ne'er do well!" His hands unclasp and he begins laughing with gusteau.
...well, I'm officially homeless...shit...not like i can just magic up a new house like normal...i mean, I'm the size of a bouncy ball for crying out loud! Worst, day, ever. Well, at least i can just... the earth underneath the sphere shifts and pulls itself together into a humanoid body, albeit large and heavy looking. It looks like Star if she was golem basically. Ah...That's better.
The boy huffs a little. That reply wasn't helpful... "Er, Miss... Rock Lady, do you know where we are?" He brushes some ash out of his hair. Maybe this weird sphere has answers...
Hmm? star turns around. This is my shrine...or, at least it WAS my shrine...but then it blew up...oh well, things happen. Just going to have to deal with being homeless for awhile!
"Wait, you have a shrine? Do you just tend to it, or... are you a legendary pokemon?" The light returns to the boy's eyes. "You're like me, sort of! Although I'm not a major legendary..."
I do both actually, except I'm not a pokemon. I'm a humam goddess. So...pretty much a human legendary? I don't know. I used to be a major goddess, but now I'm a minor. Kinda lost most of my powers, but I'm still alive. At least i have the chance to get my powers back. But... she turns back to her shrine. All my stuff was in there...guess I'll just rebuild it out of rock for now.
"Wait, human? I've never met a human before, except for..." His eyes glaze over a little, and he shakes his head. "...I can't really remember. But it's interesting to meet one!"
Gou wipes dust off of his gloves with a clap. "Case closed I guess! The damages were self inflicted and ultimately worthless! Makes my job a helluva lot easier lemme tell ya!" He hops up and wanders about, taking pictures. "Gramps might want to hear about this though... he better have cash!"
Drives in om a Panzer IV. Looks at the rubble of Star's shrine Wunderbar! The test is most succesful. Looks at Star unsympthetically Mayhaps we should've inquired if this shrine was inhabited first. Oh, well, these things happen.
Yeah, great, but i have nothing but... star opens a portal to her hammerspace. Whatever is in here...which is actually a pretty nice amount. Huh. star closes the portal. Well, i at least have enough resources to last a week. That's something. Just wish this place wouldn't get blown up like every week. This was probably the worst.
"So, um... Do you know how I could get home? I'm looking for a meadow..." It's not very specific, but he's trying his best.
Gou's eyes perk up from his camera, something's caught his interest. "Lookin' for somethin', eh? Listen, pal. You aren't gonna find anything like your home in these parts, but I can try my damnedest to get you somethin' close to it! Of course, my help's a two-way street. I myself need some help, and I'm not all that picky on who does it! Y'don't look all that strong but hey! Looks can be deceiving. Whaddya say? Want me to find a nice green place for you to rest your little head?" He grins from ear to ear.
Uhh...from here, head south east, when you reach a mountain head south. Climb up the third mountain and that should be where you go... I think.
Have you tried living in Germany?
"That sounds really complicated, miss..." He sighs, then nods to the man with the weird flashing box. "I'm stronger than I look! That's why I joined an exploration team back home! And helping people is my job, so I'd be glad to help you out!" Plus, he might learn more through this...
Here. star tosses him a map. I have like a hundred of these. Should show you where to go. Probably not what you're looking for, but you never know.
Ina
Ina dashes to the once-a-shrine. "Star! I heard an explosion coming from your shrine! What the heck happened!?....Also why are you made of rocks"
Germany gets out of his tank and slowly approaches star, assault rifle held to his hip. I will take one of those maps, also.
stsr tosses one to Germany. Long story short, i killed the evil that was killing me, lost my powers, gained some back, decided to finish a secret project i was working on involving magical girls, and now i only have three lives a day. Also, when i die i can't make a new biological body, so i decided to use rocks.
Gou smiles with a pure happiness. "That's great, pal! Tell me, what'd'you know about motorcycles! Ever since I've got here I haven't had my beautiful Macher, and it's been a real pain! 'Course, I can make a new one, but it won't be as good as the old one. SO! Here's my request. You help me get the parts I need an' all, and I'll find you a nice clean place to call home in the meantime. Sounds good, right?" He gives a thumbs up in an effort to show his sincerity.
Ina
"....Huh. that's interesting. So you're not immortal anymore?"
An immortal, huh? Slaying one of those would be quite a feat for me... Germany strokes his chin as he thinks to himself
The boy looks at the map. It could be useful, but the gratitude from completing this request will feel even better! "I don't know what a motorcycle is, but I should be able to find the stuff you need! I guess it's a deal!" He smiles, and his wings(?) spread out.
Ehh...kinda. It's more like my soul is indestructible, so i can just come back when i have enough power to. Really took a beating to my powers. So...basically, I'm still technically immortal, i just can't respawn all the time.
Gou raises an eyebrow, but lowers it. "I... see. Might as well stick you with the less knowledgeable parts. I'm gonna need paint if I want to get it lookin' exactly like I remember it, and boy do I remember it. We'll need two specific colors, white and red. Get that for me, and I'll start lookin' about the place." Gou pulls a chart with photos taped to it. One photo of a warehouse is circled in red. "This should help you, I live in that warehouse right now. The pictures should help you get a feel of the area. You've got your cafes, your GYM, and a park. Right smack dab in the center is a warehouse on the waterfront. Once you get the paint, bring it there and leave it outside if I don't answer. I've got my own 'Requests' to fill out, so I won't always be home."
"Oh, okay! Paint shouldn't be too hard to find, so I'll be sure to bring it there as soon as I get it!" He takes out the map Star gave him and starts marking the places with a pencil. "By the way, mister, what's your name?"
Gou laughs and crosses his arms. "Gou. Gou Shijima. Nice to meet'cha." Gou extends his hand for a shake.
"I'm Shaymin! Well, it's both my name and what I usually am, but it works." Shaymin shakes Gou's hand with his own gloved one, then flies into the air to begin his search.
Gou laughs and begins to walk out of the shrine. "Man, looks like things won't get dull anytime soon."
...welp, might as well set up. star pulls a tent out of her hammerspace and starts setting it up.
