[@Gardevoiran] [color=fce2a4]‘Thank you, once again,’[/color] Leila said, before turning and following Dunstan. Skylar didn’t have that much to say to the people gathered, but before he leaves, there’s a little scene. With everything else solved, Sylvia walked up to Kristy, who smiled as she approached. [color=d694c1]‘So, uh. I’m sorry, restraining you wasn’t part of my list of things I wanted to do. It’s just, I was under orders to-’[/color] Sylvia started, somewhat awkwardly talking to Kristy. Kristy replied by interrupting her with a hug. [color=f75423]‘Aww, I know you didn’t~! There’s no way you’d betray me~!’[/color] Kristy called, very clingy and happy. [color=d694c1]‘Y-yes, yes…’[/color] Sylvia didn’t seemed a bit uncomfortable with the tight hug, but nonetheless embraced back. [color=d694c1]‘I didn’t think you’d hold it against me, but on principle I wanted to apologize…’[/color] [color=f75423]‘Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Pay for dinner and we’ll call it even and make you feel better, okay~’[/color] Kristy said, smiling. [color=f75423]‘Oh, hey, kid!’[/color] Kristy suddenly called, turning towards Skylar. [color=f75423]‘If you’re hunting badges, maybe you can catch another one here? Besides being “special investigator” whatever, Sylvia here’s also the Poison-type Gym Leader of Goldshore Town! She might just be here to visit me, but it might be your golden chance!’[/color] [color=d694c1]‘Oh, no,’[/color] Sylvia shook her head. [color=d694c1]‘If he wants that badge he’s going to need to find me in the Gym in Goldshore Town,’[/color] Sylvia said. [color=d694c1]‘And… I wasn’t really here for you, I was here because to investigate as investigator…’[/color] [color=f75423]‘But you were happy to come here to see me at the same time, right~?’[/color] Kristy asked with a big smile. Sylvia was silent for a small second. [color=d694c1]‘… Yes.’[/color] [color=f75423]‘Haha, there you go,’[/color] Kristy laughed a little. [color=d694c1]‘Right. That aside. Do you need a new cane and glasses? Do you want help?’[/color] Sylvia asked, clearly concerned about the poor blind kid. [color=f75423]‘Oh, yeah. If you want a guide, I know my own town!’[/color] Kristy offered. Otherwise, Skylar could walk off with Forge. To say he’d get a bunch of looks from astounded Raremine Town citizens would be an understatement. Sure, it happened sometimes that strangers came walking with impressive Pokémon, but nobody here’s ever seen or heard of a Type: Null before! [hider=Raremine Town][center][h2]Raremine Town[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/saVwpPm.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/rhaACBx.png[/img][/url][/center] [right][sub][sub][sub]no cat-eared girls here, sorry[/sub][/sub][/sub][/right] 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] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Raremine Town]1. Find Pokémon.

It’s been handled.’[/color] Erika spun around to see Elana arriving at the scene, looking kind of dirty from all the battle she’d gone through. She was carrying her tired Slurpuff on her back, and arriving along with her was a whole horde of satisfied-looking Fighting-types, a lot of them looking scuffled from some form of battle. And since it was a while ago, here’s pictures of everyone.

Combining a Swirlix with a Whipped Dream makes it evolve into this sweet Pokémon. Its sense of smell is 100 million times better than a human’s, even a faintest smell tells it everything about an area. Its fur contain a lot of air, making it soft and much lighter than it looks.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] Besides that, her battle wasn’t the only battle that had been concluded. [color=668570]‘Woooo! Good job, Pikachu!’[/color] Joshua cheered as his Pikachu had just shocked Allan’s Growlithe to faint.

It stores electricity in sacks inside its cheeks, which it unleashes if threatened. They live in forests, and use their electricity to roast berries. It monitors its surroundings by raising it tail and sensing electricity. If multiple Pikachu gather up, their power increases.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] [color=decdad]‘There we go.

A territorial Pokémon known to nest inside large trees in the forest, guarding it from anything near. It has small hooks under its feet, allowing it to scale vertical surfaces. It’s famously stubborn, known to not budge an inch no matter how outmatched the opponent has it.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] [color=6aa697]‘Th-they got us! And there’s more of them coming!’[/color] Mia called out in alarm, returning her last Pokémon. [color=b35647]‘Drat,’[/color] Allan said, doing the same while frowning. [color=b35647]‘This’ll look bad on our records, but… Escape Ropes!’[/color] [hider=Allan and Mia][img]http://i.imgur.com/Yfoa6KC.jpg[/img][/hider] [color=6aa697]‘On it!’[/color] With that, the two Team Amethyst members threw out their ropes, they attached to something and pulled both of them straight up into the ceiling and teleported them out of the scene. Besides that, the small army of Psychics lay stunned and overwhelmed. Standing above their horde of fainted Psychic-Pokémon stood the king Machamp, flexing and grinning. [color=ACBCCC]‘Ma-champ!’[/color] he gave Erika a single thumb’s up while all the other arms were flexing. [center][url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8f/068Machamp.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/X7QuLCt.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #68 – Machamp, the Superpower Pokémon. It is known as the Pokémon that can supposedly throw 1000 punches in two seconds. Machamps are masters of many martial arts, and with four arms it can strike at many unexpected angles. They’re very quick to action, don’t think before they leap, and are absolutely terrible at any form of delicate task.[/i][/color][/center] [color=db845c]‘YOU ARE SO COOKED!’[/color] Maple shouted out at the giant drilling machine, which after a continued barrage by her now tired-looking Fire Pokémon the metal drill had just melted and its crew evacuated as the metal was somehow on fire.

Its known to inhabit volcanic craters, and its body-temperature is around 600 degrees celsius. When it breaths, hot embers dribble out its mouth and nostrils. Its health can be distinguished by how yellow its flames are, the more the better.[/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #136 – Flareon, the Flame Pokémon. An Eevee evolved by a Fire Stone. A flame sac evolved into its body. Its average body-temperature is around 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, but when it blows out fire it can reach 3000. Constantly heating its surroundings, it has been used for warming houses during winter. Rare to see in nature.[/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #58 – Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon. Known to be brave and loyal to it’s trainer, but will bark threateningly at anyone entering its territory. It has superb sense of smell and will never forget a smell once it has picked up on it. Through smell, it can sense the emotions of others.[/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #498 – Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. A surprisingly nimble Pokémon, it dodges attacks and shoot fireballs back at the same time. It loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes gets too excited and burns them to a crisp. It has a pretty good nose that it seeks out berries with, but also breaths fire through said nose.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] As for the parts that Erika told Julian… [color=787D74]‘... Bah,’[/color] was the only reply Julian gave, looking deflated. [hider=In case you forgot how Julian looked][url=https://i.imgur.com/H4FkrGD.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/H4FkrGDl.png[/img][/url][/hider] [color=507173]‘I hope you learned your lesson,’[/color] Ellyn said, still standing blocking the way to the throne and the stone for Julian. Julian frowned and turned to glare at her. [hider=Ellyn][url=http://i.imgur.com/Kkflh7x.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZOJgIpF.jpg[/img][/url] [/hider] [color=787D74]‘... Why… why are you standing over there? Why are you helping them? You’re a noble… like me…’[/color] Julian asked Ellyn… who tightened her fists a little. [color=507173]‘In case you couldn’t tell by what I’m wearing, I’m not exactly trying to broadcast where I came from… but fine. True, originally I didn’t see much reason to put much effort into anything, but…’[/color] she then looked over towards Maple, who was still making sure that the metal machine would never drive again. [color=507173]‘… This journey has started to teach me that there’s some things worth fighting for. That aside, I think it’s time to present the victor her reward.’[/color] As she spoke, the king Machamp came walking. He stepped right by Erika, Julian hurriedly got out of his way and Ellyn freely stepped aside. Then, one of his mighty arms gripped the stone embedded in the throne, pulled it out with one mighty stroke, then turned back to look at Erika. He grinned at her. [color=f0b4a3]‘The mountain king is thankful for your warning, and has seen fit to reward your efforts,’[/color] Elana translated/interpreted. Following Elana’s words, Machamp held forth the one of his many hands that held the stone, presenting it to Erika to do as she willed with… [center][color=6ecff6][i]Erika obtained Dawn Stone![/i][/color][/center] __________________________ [@hatakekuro] Basil’s Pokédex suddenly made a sound, as he’d gotten a voice message. Or, in case he answers immediately, it can be a call. [color=82c6cf]‘Heeey, Basil! How’s your Pokémon journey coming along?’[/color] Kalmia’s voice would come from the Pokédex if he chose to play it. [color=82c6cf]‘Just in case you were wondering, I got your Pokémon over here! Whenever you put a Pokémon in the PC, I can take them out here! You don’t mind if I take them on a couple walks, right?’[/color] Pretty much simultaneously he got a message that was just a picture of Kalmia smiling at him with Sabbah, Aria, Pamina and Titus in whatever fashion you feel fits them. [color=82c6cf]‘Right, I actually had a different thing I wanted to talk to you about,’[/color] Kalmia said, suddenly looking a bit more serious. [color=82c6cf]‘There’s another little trainer of mine. Her name is Amelia. She’s a young little ghost-specialist, who I have high hopes for. Thing is, she came to me with a request; she wants to be able to bring all her Pokémon with her at the same time. Unfortunately, they’re more than six, and the laws of the Pokémon box-system forbids bringing more than six Pokémon at once. … But do they really need to?’[/color] Kalmia gave a smile. [color=82c6cf]‘I see no reason for stopping this little darling from bringing all her friends with her. But, unfortunately, that’s one of the oldest rules of the Pokémon world that we’re trying to break, here. And, well. We’re not doing that without the permission of the one who owns the Pokémon Storage System in Isson… You know the one,’[/color] Kalmia said. And just in case Basil didn’t know… [color=82c6cf]‘We need the permission of David, master of the Private Palace, owner of both the Pokéball Factory and the Power Station… yeah.’[/color] Just pretty much the most famous noble in Isson. Because, for regular people, they go to the PC where they deposit Pokémon and see “David’s PC”. You guys see “Kalmia’s PC”, though, because she has a little off-shoot PC-system only used by her trainers. [color=82c6cf]‘I’m not entirely sure what’ll take to make him agree to this, but I did send Amelia to go on a quest to go to his house and ask. You know, because a little girl asking tugs on the heartstrings better than if I show up and do it. I wanted to ask if you perhaps could head with her? You may be better suited to telling Amelia what to expect. I am, of course, not forcing you to do this. But, if you want to help, I could give Amelia a call and find out where she is right now…’[/color] Of course, by sheer coincidence, Amelia’s right there beside Basil. Oh, and Eryn, too. __________________________ [@Eklispe][@Rune_Alchemist] Dunstan simply waved to them then sat back, studying the sample again. [color=b2dced]‘… Later, then,’[/color] Cathia said with a small wave. So, the two of them, Claire faster than Dawkin on account of having a Mach Bike, headed out of the lab and also out of town towards Route 6. [hider=Route 6][center][h2]Route 6[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/XJQk1AF.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/B2UIkcd.png[/img][/url][/center] Also known as the Vast Plains, it is not hard to understand how Route 6 gained such a name. Seemingly endless, green plains spread in every direction, only stopped by the natural borders that are the cliffs down into the ocean and the mountain range of Mt. Chill. Natural hills have formed, rolling up and down like giant, stationary green waves in this ocean of grass. These hills are also the only form of cover that you will ever get on this plain. Due to the abundance of wild Pokémon eating or battling the grass around here it never grows above the height of your feet. There is nowhere to hide here…! This goes double. The Pokémon of Route 6 have nowhere to hide. They survive using speed, strength or both. Intimidation is key, in these plains of wilderness. In addition, there is a lot of them. You’re not able to look in a single direction where there aren’t wild Pokémon, to the degree that it is ridiculous. There is no Pokémon, not even rare ones, on Route 6 that you cannot find out exists here with just a number of steps over the route. This, however, means most Pokémon on the route are tempered for battle, it is among the wildest routes of Isson. There are reasons why the unprepared tend to avoid this route. However, for potentially setting astride a large Pokémon, running across large fields of grass under a blue sky, feeling the fresh air blow past as you thunder on with nothing to stop you? There is no better place. [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.[/i] 2. Train Pokémon.

Instead, they headed east. Once again, one a bit faster than the other. Still, they came upon something that looked like a dock. They reached their destination. A powerful ship awaited them. [hider=You arrive at][center][h2]Stalford’s Ferry[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/txphpuN.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/txphpuNh.png[/img][/url][/center] Route 16 is one of the most dangerous routes on Isson, but there’s a way around. There’s the ship, Stalford’s Ferry, that looks nothing like a regular ship. While normal ships often find themselves in danger trying to sail Route 16, Stalford’s Ferry is a fortress of a ship and has proven time and time again to be a reliable way to cross to the Northern Landmass and Witchpeak City. The mighty vessel can also keep you occupied as you’re sailing. You can attempt to fish out the open windows, you can find other trainers and keep yourself occupied while the vessel cruises to its destination, or perhaps simply attempt to enjoy the scenery… not that there’s much to see. However, occasionally the ship does come under attack, and for that reason trainers are expected to be able to defend themselves, which is also why you’re required to have collected Kristy’s Gym Badge in Raremine Town to prove that you’re capable of doing just that.

There appears to be two ships docked here. Stalford’s signature ferry, and one more. A giant pirate ship, with the Jolly Roger flag dancing in the wind. Despite supposedly being a ship of criminals, it seemed like the line of people was in queue to visit the pirate ship, and they were looking eager, too. They had a ramp that allowed people to walk up the deck, one at a time. Up there, the pirate captain, his giant ice bear and his two assistants were helping customers one at a time.

Oh, and the prices double after each individual purchase for that specific customer, forever! Just to make sure nobody feels like buying up everything, hahaha!’[/color] he said, then blinked at the next customer… [color=465c99]‘Wait, I know you. You’re a noble,’[/color] the captain suddenly remarked. [color=D99258]‘You have a good eye, good sir!’[/color] said the customer.

Valfredo staggered. [color=D99258]‘But, but everyone else just had to pay…’[/color] [color=465c99]‘Oh, but if I were to charge you, who was born with more money, the same as the others, then it’d be unfair to the others, wouldn’t you say?’[/color] Zachery said with a sneer, and the happier of his two crewmates giggled over there. The noble steeled his one-eyed gaze. [color=D99258]‘I… see that we’re not going to see eye-to-eye,’[/color] Valfredo said. [color=D99258]‘Very well. I will take my leave. Good day, good sir,’[/color] he said, turning around and wandering down the ramp again, whispering something under his breath. He was on his way away from the ship, when he stopped next to Claire and Dawkin, who for cinematic reasons happen to be next to one another. [sub][color=D99258]‘Hey. Could one of you get a Galarian Corsola for me? I’ll give you 10,000 P, ’[/color][/sub] he asked them quietly, clearly not wanting Zachery to overhear from over there. Meanwhile, Zachery up there was just about to accept the next customer… [color=465c99]‘Hahahaha! Yeah, off with you, and now next- oh?’[/color] Zachery made a noise of interest as a small flock of Skarmories suddenly descended out of the sky, landing on the deck. A couple individuals got off, and it became clear that some of them were customers, because they headed off to join the line. The one on the head Skarmory, though, approached Zachery. The pirate laughed. [color=465c99]‘Well, what have we here? The Steel Ferryman himself! How’s it going, Eugene? Are your four Skarmories doing fine?’[/color] [hider=Freecape’s Steel Ferryman, Eugene][url=http://i.imgur.com/FyAHqc8.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/LBLAttT.jpg[/img][/url] [center][url=http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/35/227Skarmory.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Okk3QsL.png[/img][/url] [url=http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/35/227Skarmory.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Okk3QsL.png[/img][/url] [url=http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/35/227Skarmory.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Okk3QsL.png[/img][/url] [url=http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/35/227Skarmory.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Okk3QsL.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #227 – Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokémon. It is encased in hard armor, which edges is sharpened by the thorns of the bramble bushes it likes to make nests in. Unhindered it can fly at almost 190 mph. While looking heavy, its wings are hollow and light allowing for free flight.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] Well, it was a man who Claire's seen before. She’d flown on one of his Skarmories from Infested Woods to Redcoast City. [color=b5bdba]‘… Yeah, they’re doing fine. You seem to be doing fine, too,’[/color] Eugene replied, and then took a look around before looking at Zachery again. [color=b5bdba]‘So, about the Pokémon we talked about…’[/color] [color=465c99]‘Say no more, I got it right here,’[/color] Zachery had a devious grin as he reached for a Pokéball and handed it over to Eugene. [color=465c99]‘I already got the money from the Freecape Ferrymen, it’s all yours.’[/color] With that, Eugene got a Pokéball in his hand.

A Pokémon from the Galar region. It is said that the black luster of its steel body can drive terror into the hearts of any foe. With great intellect and flying skill, it is used in Galar for the region’s airborne taxi service. Despite its wings being composed partly of steel, it flies with ease.[/i][/color][/center] Eugene and Corviknight stood, staring at each other silently for a couple seconds… [color=b5bdba]‘… … … … … … Heh,’[/color] and then the Steel Ferryman cracked a tiny smile. In any case! Soon enough, it was your turn! [color=465c99]‘Welcome, welcome! Prices are 2,000P for unevolved Pokémon, 4,000P for mid-level, and 6,000P for fully evolved or rare! The prices double after each purchase for that specific customer, forever! So choose wisely!’[/color] Zachery repeated the information, grinning to the new customer. Of course, you probably had to mention to the guy you’re a trainer of Kalmia’s that get one for free, but otherwise, what Pokémon would you want? You can either say exactly what you want, or describe what you think you want. Please excuse the lack of presented alternatives, they are [i]so many[/i].[/hider]
