[color=f75423]‘I’ll see you when you come to pick up that challenge again!’[/color] Kristy called happily, Sylvia gave him a nod, and then the two Gym Leaders were off to discuss things.

Since he stayed close, he found a bunch of the usual around here. Since he stayed close to town, the deep-sand and the far-plains Pokémon stayed away, but he did find some Pokémon around the trees. Unsurprising, perhaps, were the ground-type Pokémon, but there was also a surprising number of bugs. Oh, and a bunch of rabbits. Or hares. One of them.

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Drilbur_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/y8oAR0r.png[/img][/url]

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #529 – Drilbur, the Mole Pokémon. They and Excadrills dig out mazelike nests underground in which they live. Drilbur is known for being able to travel very fast through soil, able to reach 30 mph by putting its claws together and spinning rapidly, drilling through earth. They’re known to be rather friendly around people.[/i][/color][/center]

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nincada_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/WCUv2s4.png[/img][/url]

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #290 – Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. It is usually found underground, using its antennae to sense its surroundings. It gains nourishment my tapping into the roots of trees with its claws as it await evolution. Nincadas are nearly blind, and avoid sunlight due to inability to withstand it.[/i][/color][/center]

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scatterbug_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]http://i.imgur.com/NOTmPPg.png[/img][/url][/center]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #664 – Scatterbug, the Scatterdust Pokémon. Using a dust which covers its body and regulates its body-temperature, it can live in any region or climate. If attacked, it can release a poisonous black powder which paralyzes upon contact.[/i][/color][/center]

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sandshrew_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/9fwphin.png[/img][/url]

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #27 – Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. It lives in arid regions burrowing deep underground. It emerges only to hunt for food, which it catches by lounging out of their burrows. If threatened, it curls into a protective ball and bounces off from enemy attacks. If it gets cold at night, its body will coat itself with a fine dew.[/i][/color][/center]

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bunnelby_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/Z4iFHLR.png[/img][/url]

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #659 – Bunnelby, the Digging Pokémon. Its ears are solid and serve as shovels which it uses to dig large burrows in which it lives. It is mainly nocturnal, and will dig throughout the night. Over the years the ears become stronger, and it becomes able to sever thick roots easily.[/i][/color][/center]

Training against the ground- and bug-types was, unsurprisingly, not very problematic for Skylar’s bird-team. Minus maybe Sandshrew’s Rollout. However, he did find most of his team a little overleveled for the Pokémon he had to contend with. So much so that quite a few of his Pokémon weren’t able to gain any levels.

That said, there were some here that could get levels. Especially Forge, who while maybe they needed to go back to the Pokémon Center to heal after repeated Mud-Slaps from Bunnelbys and Drilburs, plus perhaps some paralyzation from the Scatterbug Stun Spores, managed to level up a respectable amount.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pretzlcoatl grew to level 19![/i][/color]
[color=6ecff6][i]Forge grew to level 17! Forge learned Imprison![/i][/color]
[color=6ecff6][i]Bejeebs grew to level 19![/i][/color][/center]

So, what would Skylar do now?

[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]

[@Pirouette]

The rest stood and watched as Erika took her price. From Joshua’s bright smile, Ewan’s gentle gaze, Julian’s defeated expression, Ellyn’s little pleased look and Elana’s satisfied exhaustion to Maple still not satisfied that the giant metal machine wasn’t a puddle of hot metal yet so she was still raining fire-attacks on it. Machamp smirked happily as Erika got what she wanted, and before her eyes the Dawn Stone touched Sno’s head.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP9n-5eCVgI]Oh?[/url]

Light shone out, and the stone evaporated. Sno grew in size, gained the ability to float and became significantly more feminine.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Sno evolved into Froslass![/i][/color][/center]

[center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Froslass_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/id4P2Gz.png[/img][/url]

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #478 – Froslass, the Snow Land Pokémon. An old legend claims a woman lost on an icy mountain was reborn as a Froslass. It freezes foes and prey solid, and brings them home to its chilly den to display as decorations. Their favorite food is frozen souls, which it consumes much like a carnivore. Handsome men are especially likely to be targeted.[/i][/color][/center]
[sub][sub][color=668570]‘Hear that? Better watch out, Ewan!’[/color]
[color=decdad]‘What?’[/color][/sub][/sub]
[center][color=6ecff6][i]Sno learned Astonish![/i][/color][/center]
[center][color=6ecff6][i]Sno got a new Ability! Ice Body was replaced with Snow Cloak! Boosts evasion when in hail or snow![/i][/color][/center]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]New Pokémon evolved! Erika earned 2000 P![/i][/color][/center]

[color=668570]‘WOOOO! You did it!’[/color] Joshua called, pulling off an impromptu victory spin and posing bent over with both hands pointing towards Erika.

[color=decdad]‘Well done,’[/color] Ewan simply nodded towards her. [color=decdad]‘And it was no problem. We benefited from the experience.’[/color]

[color=f0b4a3]‘Whew. Good to know I did my job,’[/color] Elana commented with a light chuckle over there.

[color=507173]‘Congratulations. You deserve it,’[/color] Ellyn said over there, smirking.

[color=787D74]‘... I guess I’m done here. I’ll just… pick up my men and escape. I still have Kadabra with his Teleport…’[/color] Julian said, wandering over to his small army of nerdy servants currently cowering with their fainted Psychic-types because they were surrounded by happy-looking burly Fighting-types.

Machamp was just standing looking proud.

[color=db845c]‘Wow, all the Fighting-types came back! Cool! So, what’s going on here? Oh, wow! A Froslass! That’s cool,’[/color] Maple came over all wide-eyed, and apparently hadn’t really been following what was going on.

[color=507173]‘Erika used a Dawn Stone to evolve her Snorunt into a Froslass,’[/color] Ellyn gently explained.

[color=db845c]‘Aaah. That is cool. Good job!’[/color] Maple beamed happily.

Then Erika suggested eating… in Bigfjord City.

[color=db845c]‘Oh, food! Yeah, I’m in!’[/color] Maple called. Though, the others looked kinda…

[color=f0b4a3]‘In Bigfjord City? You got guts, I’ll give you that,’[/color] Elana chuckled a little. 
[color=668570]‘Nooooot sure that’s the best place,’[/color] Joshua said.
[color=507173]‘I… don’t really want to go there,’[/color] Ellyn mumbled.
[color=787D74]‘That city’s going to eat you alive,’[/color] Julian muttered audibly over there as he took out his Kadabra, preparing to Teleport.
[color=668570]‘Worldedge City is right next to it?’[/color] Joshua followed up his previous statement with a suggestion, visibly trying to keep his smile up.
[color=decdad]‘Bigfjord City is pretty famous as a place to avoid,’[/color] Ewan told. [color=decdad]‘That said, I’m not opposed. Certainly safer than going alone.’[/color] 

Now, as a citizen of Isson, Erika probably should have heard about the various stories of Bigfjord City, and the reputation it has due to gangs hanging around in there. Basically, there’s a reason why it is massively associated with the Dark-type. 

That said, they totally could still go that way. What does Erika think?

[hider=Mt. Strength][center][h2]Mt. Strength[/h2]

[url=https://i.imgur.com/vNrPyTN.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/XBST9Eq.png[/img][/url][/center]

The caverns of Mt. Strength opens up into multiple corridors, dark depths branching in multiple directions. However, those expecting a typical rocky cave will be surprised. Something is immediately evident as one treads into Mt. Strength and that is that someone once lived here, long-term, and had buildings constructed out of the stones of the cavern. Remnants of whoever lived here are clear as day, as one walks on cobblestone and stairs, see remnant unlit lanterns and banners, old rock buildings standing around in the depths of the mountain. Arcs of stone remain, and here and there bridges remain, although one can question if you should trust them. An abandoned settlement in the mountain, left behind for unknown reasons… except, is it truly abandoned? There are signs of recent if unskilled renovation. Who’s maintaining them?

Why, the Pokémon, of course. There are Pokémon hard at work maintaining, reconstructing and living inside these supposed ruins. At some point humans no longer needed the fortifications of the cave, went outside, and the Pokémon took it over. They live here, creating their own society of strong Fighting-types with their own hierarchy with the strongest at the top, you’ve wandered into a whole different world, here, a world of brawling fighters, of dojos and rock-breaking competitions, of king-of-the-hill matches, thrones held my mountains of muscle, of Pokémon reconstructing the old buildings here before they inevitably are torn down again in another destructive scuttle. Here the Fighting-Pokémon are king, and humans are the guests. Will you earn their respect, or face their might?[/hider]

[hider=Erika’s Map]By and large, the caverns of Mt. Strength could be divided into four floors.

B1 - Lowest floor. It’s just a vast array of tunnels, but a single, massive room stands out. It’s marked “Mountain Castle”. Otherwise, it’s just a bunch of tunnels looping back into one another in frankly impossible-looking ways. Hm, actually, doesn’t the map look edited here?

1F - The first floor. It has this massive chamber in the middle where the Pokemon town ahead of the entrance is located. Elsewhere arrays of tunnels go in varying directions but not leading anywhere in specific. The two possible exits to Route 4 and to Route 12 are marked, on both sides, as are places to go higher… or lower. 

2F - The floor above. Several large chambers are interlinked, and even goes outside the mountain here and there for outside mountainous paths. There’s a lot of marked rooms here. The Dojo. The Throne Room. The Mountainside Arena. The Rock-Breaker’s Room. Bridge of Challenge. Town of Champions… And more.

3F - The top floor is significantly smaller than the other floors, but also features what appears to be a very, very long climb. Along the way is an exit to the Magnetic Platform, and far, far above those… is a split path, one leading west, and the other east. There, clearly marked, is the West Pillars, and East Pillars.[/hider]

[sub][color=D99258]‘Hmpf, fine, turn down free money,’[/color][/sub] the noble muttered to Claire’s reply. Still, he turned to Dawkin, to see if he was more receptive. [sub][color=D99258]‘How about you? Get me a Galarian Corsola, I get you 10,000P. It’s way more than the 2,000 you’d have to pay for it,’[/color][/sub] he tried again.

Eugene didn’t notice Claire. He was too busy happily staring at Corviknight. One of the Skarmories did, however, notice her. It stepped a little uneasily.

[color=465c99]‘Oh, wait, Kalmia?’[/color] Zachery raised his eyebrows when the professor’s name was dropped, and walked over and picked up a notebook. He looked it through briefly, to a page with a couple photos that he’d apparently been sent. [color=465c99]‘Oh, yeah! You’re one of Kalmia’s trainers! Got it, then one free donation, coming right up!’[/color] Zachery chuckled, before coming over again and listening to Claire’s request.

[color=465c99]‘Stylish and speedy… but tricky and cute?’[/color] Zachery’s one-eyed gaze steeled itself, as he gained a level of seriousness. Then, he smirked. [color=465c99]‘I know just the one.’[/color]

[color=465c99]‘ELMA! MILA!’[/color] Zachery turned and shouted to his two companions who were walking in and out of the ship to get Pokémon. [color=465c99]‘WE’RE HUNTING [i]THE GREEN ONE[/i]!’[/color]

[color=f5e595]‘Ah, geesh,’[/color] the more serious-one said, looking bothered. [color=f5e595]‘At least we only need to do it one more time.’[/color] 
[color=d4bb3d]‘Aw, I kinda liked having her around,’[/color] the more playful-looking one said. [color=d4bb3d]‘Oh, well. At least she should get a fun adventure!’[/color]

The three of them ran off into the ship. For a bit, there was no noise other than them running around below deck… until…

[color=f5e595]‘THERE SHE IS!’[/color] there was suddenly a shout under deck, and then chaos ensued. There were noise of people throwing themselves and their Pokémon left and right, numerous cries of sudden pain, and a couple shouts of [color=d4bb3d]‘SHE’S GOING THAT WAY!’[/color]

This went under several minutes, until finally Zachery was heard.

[color=465c99]‘RIGHT, THAT’S IT’[/color] … Quickly followed by the enormous roar of what definitely sounded like a dragon of some sort and then a quick smash.

A couple seconds later the three of them came out again. The serious girl looked bothered, the more playful one looked like she was in a giggling fit. Both of them looked a bit exhausted and had a couple of scratch-marks here and there. In the lead Zachery stepped forward towards Claire, his expression content, his clothes had tears from tiny claws here and there.

[color=465c99]‘How about this one?’[/color] he asked, and lifted up a living creature with his non-hook hand. In his hand he was holding a green cat around its torso, which stared with the most innocent expression imaginable towards Claire, despite the havoc it just caused.

[hider=this creature was][center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sprigatito_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/evlyfVA.png[/img][/url][/center]

It frequently washes its face to keep itself from drying out.[/i][/color][/center]

[@Eklispe]

After Claire, it was Dawkin’s turn!

[color=465c99]‘Now then! What will it be for the next young man?’[/color] Zachery asked, turning to Dawkin, who was just behind Claire in the queue.

[hider=Stalford’s Ferry][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.

One way trip is 500P.[/hider]

With that done, they would be ready to move again.

[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]
