Byjerlfal City, Commercial district. [@PKMNB0Y] Laurel’s cheeks colored a small bit of red as she’d glance to the side. “...Here.” Laurel pulled something out of her bag - a Max Revive! And handed it to Richard. “Simply put, I’ve already taken care of what happened here. That little food thief should be grateful I decided to stand up for it, hah.” Laurel ran a hand through her hair with an annoyed huff as she’d grab Verdue from the ground and hold the cat pokemon in her arms. “Uh…well, thanks? Kennet said, a bit perplexed at both Laurel’s words and the manner at which she spoke. “This should get the little guy back on his feet at least…though it might still be a good idea to take him to a pokemon center.” “Well, that is none of my business.” Laurel rather taciturnly replied. Assuming they did use the Max revive on the Munchlax, the hungry pokemon immediately sat up. “Muuuunch…?” “Well, you two can probably handle it from here, so I’ll be taking my lea-ah!” Before she could make an exit, the Fletchling zipped off of Kennet’s shoulder, and decided to make its new nest, right in Laure’s hair. “G-get off you stupid bird!” The bird in question, only chirped irreverently. “Ahaha, I think he likes ya miss.” Kennet grinned. “Well that makes one of us - ah, Verdue wait-!” The Sprigatito leaped out of Laurel’s arms and playfully walked over to the munchlax before batting at it a few times. “...looks like I’ll have to. Fine. I’ll come with but just know my time is extremely valuable.” The now trio made their way from the park, back into the commercial district and towards the pokemon center. The now awake Munchlax being a bit easier to carry than if it had fainted. It was a quick trip and once they were there, they’d be met with the pokemon centers staff and a team of nurses. [url=https://i.imgur.com/7q2wvPK.jpg]”You’re the one we get a call about? Nurse Joy, don’t you worry we’ll take care of this little guy.[/url] A team of Chansey and a few other handlers would take the injured Munchlax from them, the little guy seeming a little confused as to what was happening, but upon one Chansey rather firmly stuffing an apple in its mouth, it went along without a fuss. “If you would wait out here, I’ll file a report and get it sent to the police.” The inside of the pokemon center was sleek, decorated in pinks and whites with a pristinely washed and cleaned floor. A small waiting and rest area was to their left with vending machines, a Cafe and a standard pokemart had been setup on the other side in typical fashion. “Ahem…well…” Laurel hesitantly spoke up, the Fletchling still nesting in her hair. “If you’re still interested…I was having a picnic with my little Verdue. That food thief showed up and decided it wanted to steal my food when I was distracted by Verdue being uhm…cute…” She’d cleared her throat. “A-anyways I tried running it off. Some utter fool decided I needed help. Suffice to say I ran him off and then went to buy a max revive…and then well…we stumbled on the other. That’s it.” Well, it was rather anticlimactic perhaps, but at least the situation seemed resolved for the moment. Seems like she was being a little evasive, but it didn't seem like she was lying about having dealt with it herself, though. [hider=Possible Actions] The Museum, is still here. You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2. The contest hall isn’t particularly far from here. Might be a few trainers loitering about in the streets? There’s also a few pokemon you could run into here, if you wanted to search. A pokemart might have some good items if you wanted something. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.) [/hider] Byjerlfal City, Alleyway [hr] [@Thayr] Commercial district Stepping into the alleyway next to the museum would reveal that it was surprisingly clean and well kept, at least for an alley. It seemed like the area behind the museum was pushed up against a bunch of other buildings. Some large, some small, but either way the effect was the same - a veritable maze of corridors. Thankfully though, she didn’t have to go too far to find Zach. [url=https://i.imgur.com/uwimWqX.jpg]The boy in question had messy violet colored hair, and he was wearing a sporty tank top with the upper half of a yellow suit hanging around his waist.[/url] At his side was an odd looking growlithe. If she scanned it with the pokedex or happened to know her stuff - she’d realize that it was a Hisuian Growlithe. [hider=Growlithe] [center] [color=8dc73f][i] “Huh, a Hisuian Growlithe. Visit the reserve or find someone else with one? Either way, these guys are rare these days.” The professor on the pokedex would down a cup of coffee. Pokemon successfully registered. Growlithe, the Scout Pokemon These pokemon from the old Sinnoh region are often seen traveling in pairs to safely navigate what was once their volcanic home region. Extremely loyal and curious, their fur possess fragments of igneous rock. 500p gained!”[/i][/color][/center] [/hider] It seemed as though…he was meeting with a few other kids around his age, if a little younger. “Alright, now that we’ve gotten away from the others!” He’d say, excitedly to the group of about six others. “We can explore Byjerlfal all by ourselves!” “Yeah!” “We can go to the industrial district!” “Why would you wanna go there! I wanna see the contests!” “Yeah! I Bet we could even sneak backstage!” “I-I wanna see the lab! And the park! I hear there’s lots of pokemon there we can’t find in Wailport…!” It seemed at least there was nothing nefarious going on here, just a bunch of kids being kids and sneaking out so they could see the city more… [hider=Possible Actions] The museum is here, if you’d want to go back in. That kid might be the one the teacher was looking for. You can get to Route 1, 2, and 25 from here easily enough. Industrial and Resort district are easily accessible from here, if you’d want to visit the beach or the warehouses… Random event (Want to bully the GM?

It seems we do have a challenger.” The rough looking man at the table chuckled, watching Clarissa walk over, being led by an eager Buneary. “Alright. Bets. Who says the kid gets their ass kicked?” Seemed he didn’t have a high opinion of her chances. There was a small laugh from the gathered sailors, but she did hear a few shouts telling her to kick Tuule’s butt in turn - seemed if nothing else they were eager to see an underdog fight win. Tuule himself simply watched Clairssa approach with a cool, steely expression. A small twinge of a smirk plastered on his weathered, old lips, hands in his coat pockets as she’d walk into the arena the club had. “Brave lass, aren’t ya?” He’d say. “And a brave little rabbit huh?” A small chuckle as he’d pull a pokeball from his coat pocket. He’d bring the pokeball up to his face, gazing at the ball with a light smirk. “Normally I’d say you’re far too weak to weather a storm, lass, but lucky for you the sea’s fairly calm today.” Stretching the arm out, Tuule would open the pokeball, and out came- [hider=Aron] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6w3OQuf.png[/img] [color=8dc73f][i] “I had an Aron once. I stubbed my toe on it more often than not because it liked sleeping next to my feet…” The small professor on the screen of the pokedex was typing away at a computer with an Aron sitting next to her feet. Pokemon successfully registered. Aron, the Iron Armor Pokemon. Normally living deep in the mountains, Aron feeds on rich deposits of Iron. If it can’t find enough to feed, it ventures down and eats anything metal from cars, railroad tracks, or anything else mineral rich it can get its paws on. When it evolves, its shed skin becomes incredibly valuable and a good source for construction material and use in daily lives. 1000p gained!”[/i][/color][/center] [/hider] The Aron stood strong in front of Tuule, letting out a little battle cry of challenge. This was not a good matchup, but then again, Tuule was a steel type expert…it was unlikely going to be a good matchup for a normal type, regardless of what he chose. The Wobbufett had already taken their drink orders, disappeared into the kitchen and returned with whatever their drink preferences was, even if they didn't actually tell them, somehow. Don't think too hard about a Wobbufett's psychic abilities. Beryl would be out a bit after, bringing with her the food she had just cooked up. "Oh, your friend fighting Tuule?" She'd say. "Ooh, that's not gonna be a good matchup. Normal Vs. A steel type. Hope that little fella knows some fighting' type moves."

[/hider] Outside of Camphor’s lab [@Savo][@XxFellsingxX] Lab “Heh, I’m not worried about me thinking to slow. You should be worried about you thinking too much.” Remi responded, a confident smirk as he’d hear what Yuu would be doing next. Jojo would launch himself towards the Cottonnee and Remi, who’d seem entirely unconcerned would watch as the Riolu sped over before Cottonne could get the absorb off - though it didn’t quite go as Yuu had planned. “Cottonne, stop the attack!” The fluff ball would let out a small squeal and powered down the attack, earning a small annoyed huff just before he got the absorb off, forfeiting his turn and attack it seemed as he was pressed into the Slakoth for instead, extremely minimal damage from behind as Aster would unleash a flurry of scratches in the short time her body had. “Ah…uhm…Slakoth…!” The Aipom struck the Slakoth with blow after blow, managing to land quite a few before her body finally gave out, forced to sleep as the drowsiness finally overtook her, falling asleep right in front of Slakoth. “Hey Nevvy, they know an Egg move, right?” Quietly, Remi would whisper to Nevine so that Yuu and Jill couldn’t hear. “Uhm…yes?” “Follow my lead this turn, then and use it. Also tell Slakoth to spin a little!” “Cottonnee, leap into the air and use Helping Hand!” Following instructions, Cottonne prepared to launch itself into the air, using its lightweight to float fairly high into the air as its body glowed in a faint green light, intent on powering up Slakoth’s next move. Notably, the Cottonnee had moved out of range of what a single quick attack or leap could get to it. “Uhm…Slakoth…Hammer Arm on the Aipom and…spin?” Slakoth was already raising its right arm, admittedly, a bit lazily - but if that thing hit Aster, it was going to [i]hurt[/i]. Its other arm was lightly pulling itself along the ground in an effort to turn itself to face Riolu. With Aster on the ground in front of Slakoth, there was no dodging it unless someone else did something. [hider=Some actions/locations you could go to] You’re in Camphor’s lab, but she’s probably not feeling very sociable right now. The contest hall is currently holding a master-rank championship contest. Perhaps you could inquire how you could participate yourself. The resort area is famous for its well, resort. Sandy, sunny beaches, amusement park, Casino…and gym. Its often considered the toughest gym in the region. You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2. Perhaps there could be something interesting in the Commercial district or the Industrial district. You also saw a park on the way to the lab. Might be a good place to start, if you really wanted to stay in the city or avoid heading out, for a bit. [/hider] Route 1 [@Pyromania99] The woman glanced towards Camila, shrugging and stuffing her hands in her pockets in a lazy, mildly unconcerned manner as she’d instead relax her shoulders, move behind Camila, give her a thumbs up with an encouraging ‘you can do it’ look. It did not seem like this woman had any pokemon whatsoever on her person. Immediately upon battle start, A gentle dusting of snow would start to fall thanks to Vulpixs Ability, Snow Warning, boosting its defense by one stage. “Ah, jeez, that little brats got a hidden ability!” “Doesn’t matter we out number ‘em! That red over there doesn’t seem like she has a pokemon!” “Shroodle, hit ‘em with a Leer!” “Vullaby do the same!” “Starly, hit that fox with a tackle!” Shroodle was surprisingly fast, able to give a small cry of affirmation as it’d move away from the birds to avoid being hit by the powder snow, an angry, menacing glare being delivered to the Vulpix, lowering her physical defense - but Vulpix was able to act faster than the Vullaby or Starly as she inhaled, a blast of frigid, cold wind blasting towards the two birds. Vullaby took the brunt of the attack, covering for the weaker Starly as it stood strong against the frigid gust of wind, but as it too would start moving - “Vulll!?” The vullaby let out a startled cry, its leer move unable to work?! This left it floundering as it tried to figure out what happened, but it didn’t stop the Starly from speeding out from behind the Vullaby now, making a beeline for Vulpix with a flying tackle, slamming into the fox pokemon and knocking her back a bit as the Starly immediately returned behind the Vullaby. “Oi, what gives Vullaby!?” “V-vull?” The pokemon seemed just as confused as the trainer. “Well don’t just stand there! Do it again!” “V-vulll!” The Vullaby squawked, clearly unable to use a Leer attack for some reason. “Tch, whatever, just use Gust then!” It didn’t seem like the pokemon had any problem using a gust attack, however. “Shroodle, Acid spray!” “Starly, use a quick attack!” [hider=Some actions/locations you could go to] Find pokemon (Specify if you’re looking for anything in particular or how you look) Find trainers to battle (Probably not hard to find other trainers to battle here of varying skill levels) Train pokemon.
