[@Eklispe][@Rune_Alchemist] Dunstan nodded to Dawkin’s statement of keeping in touch, and then to his next question… [color=8a685f]‘Route 16, huh,’[/color] Dunstan remarked. [color=8a685f]‘It’s pretty much the most dangerous Route in Isson, crossing those haunted waters is no joke for someone who doesn't have strong enough Pokémon to back them up. No worries, Stalford’s Ferry exists to let young trainers cross the waters safely… though I believe he only lets you cross if you have Kristy’s Gym Badge, thereby proving you’re strong enough to defend the ship should something happen,’[/color] Dunstan commented, possibly changing Dawkin’s plan of what to do next. Meanwhile. [color=b2dced]‘Ep-!’[/color] Cathia flinched at being poked by Claire, startled out of her gloomy thoughts just a bit. Still, she was more than happy to exchange information, and with Claire heading to Bigfjord… [color=b2dced]‘I wish you luck. I’ll also head in that direction, after some training. If something happens, or if you’re planning to make your move… let me know. Unfortunately, Team Amethyst knows my face, so I don’t know if I can invade them freely now, but if you find me some coordinates… I can strike,’[/color] Cathia said with determination. That’s though, when Dunstan thought of something else to tell Dawkin. [color=8a685f]‘Though, now that I think about it. I believe Zachery’s ship is currently docked right next to the coast there right now, so if you go right now you might catch him there,’[/color] Dunstan then said, loud enough that Claire probably heard it, too. The both of them might remember Zachery’s name from [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5480770]Kalmia’s message[/url] from not that long ago, and could also thereby know what heading to him might result in. Would this change their current plans? __________________________ [@Gardevoiran] Sylvia listened to Skylar’s request, and nodded. [color=d694c1]‘Toxicroak, help carry the Pokémon,’[/color] Sylvia commanded, and the blue frog excitedly jumped over, keeping its red claws away as it used its Fighting-type strength instead to heave up Type: Null on its shoulders. Sylvia picked up a phone and made a call. [color=d694c1]‘The true culprits are captured. They’re Team Amethyst. The Pokémon is safe, but damaged. I’m bringing it to the Pokémon Center,’[/color] she said, before looking to Skylar. [color=d694c1]‘C’mon, let’s go.’[/color] With the two criminals handled by the actual police-officers, Sylvia could instead handle helping Skylar and Type: Null back to the Pokémon Center of Raremine Town. With the criminals properly cuffed, her Seviper was instead slithering behind them as they headed through the streets, keeping an eye out in case someone else wanted to get a piece of them. [hider=Pokémon center][url=http://beccafacemcstaplegun.deviantart.com/art/3D-Pokemon-Center-W-I-P-289158320][img]http://i.imgur.com/qTgTYdI.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] The nurse was quick to come retrieve the Pokémon, and probably Skylar’s too. With that, they were left to wait. While they were waiting, the door opened and numerous individuals came through. It was Dunstan, Leila and Kristy, the latter currently in cuffs and with two police officers with her. [hider=Dunstan, Leila, Kristy][url=https://i.imgur.com/asM7CSE.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/asM7CSE.png[/img][/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/wRUffiD.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/cz2mh5S.png[/img][/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/yUn2CI6.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/yEonHDY.png[/img][/url][/hider] [color=8a685f]‘You saved the Pokémon!?’[/color] Dunstan asked, all agitated. Sylvia smiled back to him. [color=d694c1]‘Yes. All thanks to this young Pokémon Trainer here, without whom I wouldn’t have known where to go,’[/color] Sylvia said, presenting Skylar here beside her. Seviper also made a gesture towards him with its tail. [color=8a685f]‘Skylar… I’m in your debt,’[/color] Dunstan said, bowing to him again. [color=f75423]‘Yea, thanks for that! Because that means I’m not guilty, right?’[/color] Kristy asked with a grin, and Sylvia nodded towards the two police officers, who then brought out the keys and uncuffed Kristy, who immediately started stretching in delight. [color=fce2a4]‘It’s your own fault, you know. Your little “rescue missions” made you a prime suspect,’[/color] Leila frowned at Kristy, but Kristy just shrugged. [color=f75423]‘Love, I really don’t want to argue about that right now. Thank the boy instead,’[/color] Kristy said, just smiling. Leila frowned at being called “love”, but otherwise shook her head then looked to Skylar. [color=fce2a4]‘As Dunstan said, we’re in your debt. Thank you,’[/color] Leila also said, nodding to him. Here I could probably end the post and let Skylar reply, but I do know what will happen right after. [hider=afterwards]Type: Null eventually came back, fully healed, and got onto its feet in front of Dunstan. [color=8a685f]‘Finally,’[/color] Dunstan sighed. [color=8a685f]‘I’m sorry about this, Type: Null, but I need your help. You’re a powerful Pokémon, and this land has some criminals I wish to defeat. If you’d be willing…’[/color] Dunstan spoke… when Type: Null promptly growled and turned away from him. [color=8a685f]‘I… huh,’[/color] Dunstan said, a little dejected. [color=f75423]‘What, you got it shipped over here just to use it as a weapon?’[/color] Kristy asked in incredulity. [color=f75423]‘Yeah, no, it’s never gonna like you like that. You gotta make friends with it before you ask things like that.’[/color] [color=fce2a4]‘Hm. According to this, it’s also only level 10 right now,’[/color] Leila said, looking over a paper that was probably a report on the Pokémon being delivered. [color=8a685f]‘I… gah,’[/color] Dunstan ran a troubled hand through his hair. [color=8a685f]‘I don’t have time to either train this Pokémon or become friends with it… What do you suggest we-’[/color] he said, before the whole room got stunned as Type: Null walked up to Skylar, trying to rub its head at the trainer. Kristy laughed out loud. [color=f75423]‘I’d say you got your best course of action served to you,’[/color] the Gym Leader said, smirking. [color=8a685f]‘I… I don’t know…’[/color] Dunstan said. [color=8a685f]‘Team Amethyst has already been after the Pokémon once, we’d be painting a target on Skylar’s back…’[/color] [color=f75423]‘C’mon~’[/color] Kristy said with a warm smile. [color=f75423]‘This Pokémon, like any Pokémon, deserves to journey with a friend and grow a close companionship, wouldn’t you say? Besides, as this boy just proved, he can handle himself~’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘I… I guess you’re right,’[/color] Dunstan sighed. [color=8a685f]‘So, Skylar. Would you take Type: Null with you on your trip?’[/color] Dunstan officially asked. What will Skylar reply? [hider=if he says yes][center][color=6ecff6][i]Skylar obtained Type: Null![/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/19/0772Type_Null.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/KnOFSwO.png[/img][/url][/center] [b]Gender[/b]: Genderless [b]Type[/b]: Normal [b]Personality[/b]: (Up to player.)

A disc of some kind? [color=8a685f]‘I have these, which belong to this Pokémon, but they’re useless to you right now. Come back to me if something changes,’[/color] Dunstan said, and then turned around to leave.[/hider][/hider] __________________________ [@hatakekuro] Glory came in, and with Detect he perfectly avoided Marill’s Rollout! And for whatever reason, that completely stopped all of Rollout’s momentum! After that, it was just a matter of Wing Attack, which did more damage than Marill could withstand. It tried to Rollout again, which hit once before Glory Detected again, making it never get any speed, and so Glory secured the win with another Wing Attack. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Glory grew to level 16! Glory learned Aerial Ace![/i][/color][/center] [color=F8D840]‘I must find more Pokémon that can learn Rollout,’[/color] Boey sagely nodded, for that must have been the reason he lost. Not enough Rollout. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Basil was victorious! Basil gained 211P for winning![/i][/color][/center] Now, back to the present! __________________________ [@Typical][@Joshua Tamashii][@hatakekuro] So, Atha shared her little story, and the armored woman went from the serious look she had to first a slightly surprised one, and then to a smiling amused one. [color=edbf8e]‘Uh-huh. Ooo. Wow!’[/color] she said, at varying points that sounded appropriate while nodding her head. Of course, she couldn’t actually talk Pokémon, but regardless she picked up on the most important thing. [color=edbf8e]‘Sounds good! Well, it seems I have nothing to worry about!’[/color] she said, and then… A Hawlucha burst into the scene, followed by an apologetic Basil. The woman took a moment to look between Amelia+Phantump and Basil+Glory… [color=edbf8e]‘Wow, deja-vu. You two wouldn’t happen to know each other?’[/color] she chuckled. [color=edbf8e]‘It’s fine, let Pokémon be Pokémon, I’d say! So, did you want a duel? I totally can give you a duel!’[/color] she responded to Glory, raising her fists excitedly and chuckling. [color=edbf8e]‘Or should I leave this one to you, Bagon?’[/color] she asked Atha. That’s when a random trainer walked into the Pokémon Center, saw the woman, and immediately spoke up with a big smile. [color=87c466]‘Ey, Lesley! Funny to see you playing with Pokémon here. Don’t you have a Gym to look after?’[/color] asked the random Pokémon Trainer. The armored woman chuckled, relaxed the stance, then answered him. [color=edbf8e]‘I would have, but I just had a REALLY tough challenger, took all I had to win this once. He’s probably gonna win next time, because unlike me, he can adjust and adapt his team, haha. Anyway, I took a moment to take a break by wandering the Wet Caverns, and…’[/color] her eyes wandered to Eryn, smirking. [color=edbf8e]‘Alright, it’s a little late, but hi! I’m Lesley, Major League Dragon-type Gym Leader of Lakewatch Town and also the leader of the Lakewatchers, the guys looking out for the dragons around here. How do you do?’[/color] she said, smiling. [color=edbf8e]‘Sorry for not saying anything, it was a little funny with you not knowing who I was. I also wanted to make sure Bagon’s fine with you. But, after hearing what Bagon had to say and with you being one of Kalmia’s trainers and all, I figure you’re fine! Hahaha!’[/color] After saying so, she reached and happily patted Eryn’s shoulder with an armored hand. [color=edbf8e]‘Right, did you want a duel!?’[/color] she asked, spinning back around to Glory, fists raised! [hider=Lakewatch Town][center][h2]Lakewatch Town[/h2] [url=http://i.imgur.com/DChhkfk.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/QQcVLfQ.jpg[/img][/url][/center] As one looks upon Lakewatch, it is clear it was once built by the side of the water. Yet, over time, Dragon Lake has actually increased in volume, the water-level rising and swallowing the town. Then the natural conclusion would be to move the town back, follow the water-level, and rebuild at the new shore, right? That, does not appear to have been the thought that went through the minds of the designers of this Town, which is essentially placed out in the water on top of older buildings, the streets of the town flooded in water and to get around one has to make use of their many canoes or get on the back of a Pokémon. The town of Lakewatch rises fairly high for its size, and vegetation grows pretty freely around the buildings. Most buildings and streets have white floating cobblestone to walk on either side of the streets, with a river of water flowing in the middle. People here are highly accustomed to this, and the streets are constantly bustling with people heading back and forth, as well as people actually gliding down from the higher buildings from the roofs above using strange little paragliders. It appears people live in the higher floors, while business takes place on ground/water-level. There are canoes basically everywhere that anyone’s free to borrow, townspeople commonly jumping down on a canoe, using the force of the jump to drift it to the other side and then simply jump off. Now, anyone could hear from the name that Lakewatch Town is the town that basically rules the Dragon Lake. The Lakewatchers are a group of people that regularly patrol the waters, and become friends with the dragons that live there. Tours by the Lakewatchers are the primary tourist attraction of the place, along with the fish that is procured from the same lake, and guides are trained to show the way in any surrounding areas. Their boats are also those who trade with the western side through Highhill, keeping the place alive and busy. Plus, there’s always the rumors of treasure or otherwise hiding deep in Flooded Lakewatch, and Descent Tower looms in the middle of town for those hoping to explore… but who really knows? It’s a nice and different place, definitely.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]There’s plenty of water here.
