[color=8a685f]‘Team Amethyst…’[/color] Dunstan sighed at what Dawkin said, but nodded. [color=8a685f]‘It does, albeit I don’t know what exactly to do about it. Thank you, for bringing this to my attention…’[/color]

And then Claire had come at some point. During the journey here, she’d found that Cathia isn’t actually very talkative unless she has something to say, and during the trip she didn’t have a lot to say, so she mostly just looked curiously at Claire and responded to what she was told. She was pretty amazed at the Uxie Pokémon dex entry, however.

When they arrived. To Dawkin, Claire just arrived with Cathia, the same trainer of Jacques that had previously barred the way out of Wet Caverns some time back, that he and Martin had fought together.

[color=b2dced]‘I’m-’[/color] Cathia suddenly stopped short when Dunstan looked over towards Claire and Cathia as they came in.

[color=b2dced]‘I’m honored to meet you. Okay, so. I invaded the Team Amethyst base here, and found their research,’[/color] she said, holding forth the papers she’d procured. Dunstan snapped up the papers and started reading intently. [color=b2dced]‘They were stealing ancient Pokémon, in order to find the cells of the immortal Pokémon among those that may have been blessed by it in the past… and they succeeded. They found the cells of the lifegiving Pokémon, and they’re sending multiple packages to Bigfjord City as we speak. Unfortunately, it doesn’t say what they’ll be used for…’[/color] Cathia responded.

[color=8a685f]‘I…’[/color] Dunstan looked a bit stunned, and slumped down in one of his chairs. [color=8a685f]‘I see. That… that makes sense. However, [i]how the blazes did they know to look for the cells in ancient Pokémon!?[/i]’[/color] Dunstan asked, looking quite upset at this. He picked up the vial of blue cells. [color=8a685f]‘Well, thanks to Dawkin, we have one of the deliveries right here. But apparently, there was more than one…’[/color] 

[color=8a685f]‘Right. Usually, we’d send the Pokémon League’s trainers to root out our foes and stop whatever plan they have… but unfortunately, whenever we do that it’s like Amethyst knows we’re coming. Even when we’re trying to send our best trainers undercover, even when we do it in secrecy, it’s like they know. Our only other option is…’[/color] Dunstan took a moment, then looked towards Dawkin, Claire, and Cathia. He had an odd look in his eyes.

[color=8a685f]‘Well. I could say… Welcome to the unofficial HQ of people trying to stop what’s going wrong in Isson. If you ever learn something that you want to share with those who fight for a better world, this should be a safe place to do so.’[/color] As in, the GM says this is a safe place.

[color=8a685f]‘It’s clear these people have interest in doing stuff with Legendary Pokémon, since they shattered Zygarde. We already put you on that,’[/color] he nodded to Dawkin, but now looked at Claire and Cathia. [color=8a685f]‘Zygarde is the Legendary Pokémon that normally responds whenever someone tries to mess with nature. He usually resides in the Desert Mines, but not anymore. Seeing how someone had the foresight [i]shatter[/i] Zygarde into small clumps of cells, we know they’re likely doing something Zygarde would respond to. We do have the ability to put him back together, but if we do so without foresight of our own they might just come back and do it again,’[/color] Dunstan slumped his shoulders a bit.

[color=8a685f]‘I… actually already know where a lot of the Legendary Pokémon are. I have trainers I trust guarding their locations… Now, excuse me while I don’t disclose their locations to you immediately… but know that, in the case someone does strike, I am as prepared as I can be. Albeit they seem to always be a step ahead. Can I randomly call you in case one of these places is suddenly under attack? It’d possibly help,’[/color] Dunstan asked something that could potentially be very important later.

[color=8a685f]‘As for the current situation… I really can’t ask this of you, but… Would you go to Bigfjord City and see if you can find what’s going on? I, and any of the strong trainers I know, would probably be recognized immediately. You are new, and might stand a better chance slipping in unnoticed…’[/color] He looked up at the ceiling. [color=8a685f]‘… Though, maybe you want to grow a bit stronger first. Just, you know, a little bit. I get this strange feeling they won’t be ready for a while.’[/color]

[i]as in, the plot will wait for you[/i]
[color=8a685f][sub][sub]‘I… I just wish [i]she[/i] was here… where could she have gone…?’[/sub][/sub][/color]
[color=8a685f]‘Of course, you don’t have to do this.’[/color] After muttering something under his breath, Dunstan immediately turned to you three again. [color=8a685f]‘You don’t owe us anything. Frankly, it’s kind of dumb that I, an adult, is asking this of kids. That said, I am out of options… What do you say?’[/color]

So, that was that. Now, Cathia will answer, but maybe you guys want to do so first. Feels more appropriate that way.

And, of course, you could leave after that, or maybe you have more questions.

Raremine Town is a moderately large, bright town on the edge of the only desert in Isson. By some twist, the largest mineral deposits in the land is located right under the desert, making it an attractive place to build mines. From that, Raremine Town naturally sprung into being as a merchant town on the edge of habitability from where the mineral could then be delivered to the rest of Isson. The temperature is hot, sun blazing down on this land where plains slowly become desert, the atmosphere dry and unfriendly… yet, life and trees blossoms among the buildings of Raremine Town.

The ground is still the grass from the Vast Plains, with buildings on top of them. The modern houses stand tall with plenty of architectural skill put into them, tools for building and living sold inside the houses. Everywhere, one can see workers walking about, but they’re happy workers, with their families living close at hand in the town and with the finest equipment available. Oh, and of course, plenty of Pokémon that assist with the finding of ores and such! The trees, which appear to have been planted and grown all over town by the residents themselves, gives plenty of homes for local Pokémon to live.

Overall, it’s busy, with people walking and talking all over, an active town indeed.[/hider]
