Pokemon: Dream

Route 5
@PKMNB0Y

“Lovely. Well, I’ll not be too far from here. I’d rather not get in the way of those angry tauros…” Laurel nodded, glancing a bit at the excavations going on nearby. She seemed mildly interested, but would quickly move further off the road into the plains proper, Verdue nipping at her heels as she’d follow after.

As for Richard, walking off the path and into the tall plains grass would soon find more pokemon easily. Or at least, something that looked like a pokemon. Large purple ears sticking out of the grass, quietly listening. A few seconds later a purple, spikey, rabbit like pokemon would bolt out of the grass, fleeing in the opposite direction of Richard. He’d have enough time to scan it and head after it, if he wanted too.

Nidoran

”Ah, Nidoran. The Poison Pin Pokemon Male. You can tell because its purple.” the Chibi Camphor was holding a Nidoran in her hands.”Not my usual type, but I kinda like these guys. Small and typically spunky, just like me, heh. Very aggressive if its protecting a female Nidoran. They use their ears to detect and scan their surroundings. They’re usually found fairly commonly in the plains region.

Eh…Hold on, I think that one seems a little different then the others.”

Richard Obtained 500p!

Whether he decided to pursue the Nidoran or not, it wouldn’t be long before he’d find another. A comparatively small pokemon, standing by itself.A Falinks…though it was strangely, alone, without the rest of its other five. It seemed to be locked into battle with two angry looking Poocheyna. Richard could of course, interfere, though he could also just let nature take its course, as it were. The Falinks was on the losing side of this battle it looked like, despite the type advantage. It had several old wounds on it.

Falinks & Poocheyena

“Well, this is a bit weird.” The Ai chimed in whenever Richard decided to Scan the two, supposing he does. “Falinks hardly ever leave their peers In rare cases that they do get separated…Hm, that one looks pretty beat up too. I’d hazard a guess to say there’s a Pack of Poochyena, possibly led by a Mightyena that decided that that group of Falinks are its prey. Doesn't quite explain why its by itself, though...”

A pause.

“Oh, right, should do my whole pokedex thing eh…ahem. Poochyena, The Bite pokemon. They usually pursue their prey in packs, chasing it until its exhausted. However, they tend to actually be rather cowardly and the first sign of resistance from their prey is usually enough to send them running. Common near Giervor.

Falinks, the Formation pokemon. The largest of the six pokemon is the leader. It uses its large and extendable horn to issue orders to the other five following it -yawn- I’m tired now so that’s all you’re getting. Someone else is asking a lot of silly questions.

Richard Obtained 1000p!

Richard was of course, free to intervene or do nothing with this information as he wished.

“Mag-!” The pebble slammed right into the Magnemite, earning a disapproving electrical buzz from the pokemon as Aster would be finding herself paralyzed. As Yuu was giving its orders for a quick attack, the Steel/Electric type was already buzzing and readying another attack, electricity sparking between its magnets.

“-Mite!?” Only to give an equally surprised buzz as Riolu appeared behind it. Now, the attack itself didn’t do much damage, being a normal type move against a steel type. The toss, too, didn’t go quite as planned, what with Magnemite being able to float and all, it would have stopped short of the Snubbull if Snuggles hadn’t already elected to move on its own.

This would result in Snuggles jaws clamping on the Magnemite, the fiery fangs of the pokemon dealing severe damage to the Magnemite…but Magnemite wasn’t down yet! A blast of electricity burst from the Magnemite as an intense thundershock slammed into the Snubbull!

“Bzzzzt!” It was already powering up a second one as well, angrily flailing its little magnet arms as it continued to fry the fairy type with electricity with a continuous electrical blast.

“Shut down? The company went bankrupt, they lost the lease for the factory and the land went to the city. Nothing special. Anyways-” The Camphor Ai suddenly switched off of Richard’s pokedex as Chloe opened up hers.

“Ahem, anyways...not scanning that Rotom phone. Can’t actually, I won’t go into the technical mambo jumbo details. You’d just hurt your head. Anyways, yes, Aipom.

Aipom

Aipom, the long tail pokemon. A mischievous pokemon that lives in the jungles around the more tropical regions of Eidda. Quick witted and troublesome, they like playing pranks on people and pokemon alike making them little more than a nuisance sometimes. One ran off with some important research data once. Have still yet to find it.

This one has no special attributes, but seems to have inherited an egg move from a parent.

Chloe gained 500p!

Riolu

Riolu, the Emanation pokemon. Found in caves and spartan mountains, the diminutive pokemon has a special ability to read and see emotions. Often found training to better themselves and oftentimes challenging pokemon much stronger than themselves. A favorite of trainers with steadfast principles and a loyal pokemon through and through. They’re kind of annoying, in my opinion.

The gust summarily sailed past the Buneary, barely able to just dodge it, the gust blowing up dirt and debris from the old hallway she found herself in. Rightly annoyed, the Murkrow would flap its wings, circling outside the window and picking up speed as it’d position itself directly in front of the window. A fierce cry followed as the Murkrow sped through the window, beak aimed right for the Buneary.

Sir Lopsalot, taking his trainers instructions, had already readied a power up punch.

There was a resounding noise that echoed through the hallway as beak met bunny fist. The Murkrow let out a pained squawk as sir Lopsalot took the full force of the Murkrows attack, sending the two pokemon flying backwards. The Murkrow would find itself skidding across the floor, while Lopsalot could likely easily regain his balance but the trading of blows was going to leave Lopsalot fairly injured.

thud

A noise from behind caused the Murkrow to shake itself off and take a look behind it. Clarissa had successfully, with some difficulty, caused the window to free itself from the ages it was left up and rusted, letting it slide down and shutting the Murkrow in there with them.

“Murrr…” The Murkrow seemed more amused then anything as it would flap its wings, hovering a few feet above the ground as black smoke started spilling from its beak, puffing out its chest - a Haze Attack was in coming!

Possible Actions

You can’t leave, now. You probably want to find a way out or the pokemon you came here looking for.

The large bug pokemon barely even noticed Swiper or Dancing. Being both faster than the fox pokemon, the large blue beetle lowered its horn, running and picking up speed as it would aim its horn right at Dancing, a brutal Fury Attack.

Or at least, it would have been a dangerous attack.

The sand that had been knocked into Heracross’ eyes coupled with the Quick Attack to its legs, caused the large blue beetle to stumble, its large horn just a hairs breadth away from Dancing as it’d missed the first swipe, falling to the ground with a dull buzzing thud as its attack was interrupted.

While the pokemon took care of the Heracross, Isla herself moved to help Yasu up.

“I’m…fine, thanks for…asking…” This close to the other girl, if Isla herself wasn’t panicking too much she’d notice that Yasu herself was doing much the same. Absolutely freaking out and from her expression she was just barely holding it together. Her arm was trembling slightly and she was holding onto Isla’s arm with an absolutely vice-like grip.

Hatty was already scrambling to her own feet, giving a little nod of affirmation that she was alright, just as the Heracross was starting to get back to its feet as well.

“Heera….” Faster than either Dancing or Nickit could react, the large bug type lunged forward, its horn glowing a blue color as it used Aerial ace!

Some actions/locations you could go to

You're in a Secluded grove off of route 1. Heading back to route 1 seems to be the only path.
Train pokemon. (Skip the grind, and we get to the result. Tell me how you train and if you just grind wild mon or some other creative training)
Maybe see if the wild pokemon in the field are of any interest to you.
Maybe you wanna try resting at that Hotel.

Route 2 - > Route 5
@PKMNB0Y

Laurel: Huh? Of course I am. Do you think I’d leave you? We did say we would travel together. It’d be quite unbecoming of me to simply leave you. Besides, I had a few other things to do as well in the area. I’m near the beach right now.

Laurel

It didn’t take too terribly long to meet up with Laurel. She was waiting on the beach, not too terribly far from the cave. Munchlax was busy sleeping, a half eaten apple stuck in its mouth, laying on the sand. Someone had built a sandcastle on its belly. The pawprints left behind nearby as Verdue lept about in the sand likely made the culprit known.

“Richard.” She’d greet Richard with a faint smile. “Find something in the caves? I can’t imagine going in that place…ugh, I’d need so many baths…Ahem, anyways, if you’re ready shall we? Or do your pokemon need a bit of rest?” Laurel seemed to be just fine waiting until he was ready, so he was free to head back and heal up his pokemon.

When he was ready to go, Laurel would respond with a nod.

The trek down the main road of route 2 would slowly lead away from the coast as the treeline too, slowly started to diminish. The forest giving way to the sun and wind swept plains of the Western Eidda Plains region. Soon too, the road would split. One would go east, along route 4 towards Peltra. The other continued north across rolling hills and through the old ruins…which meant they had just taken their first steps onto route five.

-Route 5-

Rolling and hilly plains, the predominant foot hills of the Eiddan mountains to the north populated primarily by plains loving pokemon as well as those that hung around ruins and old places. Dark-type pokemon also tend to start being seen around here as well since its getting closer to Giervor, well known for their population of such pokemon.

A herd of wild Tauros could be seen running across the plains in the distance, a large cloud of dust behind them as they ran.

As Richard and Laurel would walk, they’d come across a small ruin that had been cordoned off. An emblem of the Giervor Historical society was plastered on a tent and the uniforms of the few people present made it easily identifiable who had done so.

“Alright.” Laurel turned to Richard. “I’m going to find some pokemon and train a bit more, Richard. Word of advice - the Leader in Giervor is a dark-type gym leader. You may want to try and find a pokemon that could help.” Laurel would say. “Also, I don’t want to sound pushy, but,” She’d glance to the side. “Don’t slack on your training. You already beat me once, It’d be shameful if you didn’t stay in top form.”

Snubbull

”Snubbull, the Fiary Pokemon. That might be its name, but its the most uncute fairy type I’ve ever seen.” The chibi camphor would say, making a particularly annoyed expression. A Snubbull was chewing on a toy near her. “Anyways, they’re known for being fairly cowardly usually, using their more intimidating features to scare fights away and turning tail if it doesn’t work. They like sleeping, the only relatable thing about them.”

Yuu and Jill obtained 1000!

”Response: It was said with a slightly more robotic tone than normal before it devolved into a mildly annoyed huff. ”Really? Really?! You’re going to treat me like some cheap generative AI? I’d be insulted if I actually cared what you think.” Rather loudly and suddenly, it would continue as the Professor relaxed on a chair, leaning back in it slightly as she sipped on a cup of virtual coffee in a mug that said ‘Emotionally Exhausted’. “You want some information about that old toy factory?” The pokedex camphor continued, the Snubbull dematerializing into a pokeball. “If I knew what was everywhere you’d be out of a job ya know? But let's start with the first. It's not strange that the place still has power. Probably cheaper to let it run instead of removing it. Your second query…Best I can say is to expect the usual urban pokemon. Like Rattata and similar. Maybe some trubbish or other trash loving pokemon. Some electric types might also make their home there. Of course, old places like that also might attract some ghost types. Not uncommon in Byjerlfal, especially at night.” A loud sip of the coffee. “Query: Your single brain cell need anything else?” It was asked in a slightly mocking tone.

…AI camphor seemed awfully chatty, a bit more upbeat then the real deal. Still a bit of a jerk, though.

It would be just about now that Aster would shuffle over towards the machine. It was hard to tell exactly what it was for, but it was connected to several old conveyor belts. As aster approached, she’d take notice of a few sparking arcs of electricity leaping from it…and towards…

Magnemite

”Ah, a Magnemite.” Before Yuu could close the pokedex or do anything else, the Ai had already scanned the pokemon. “The Magnet pokemon. Eeeh, well, thats surprising to find here. They constantly emit electromagnetic waves that allow them to float, and are typically found around more electromagnetically active areas. We might have to move them…mngh, well that’s a problem for actual me, not me me.”

Yuu, Jill, Chloe obtained 500p

The Magnemite seemed to take offense to Asters approach, its single eye angrily turning towards the Aipom and blasting a discharge of electricity towards it - a Thunder Wave!

Clarissa approached the Murkrow, stealthily, silently. Walking up behind it and scanning it with the pokedex.

Murkrow

“Ah, Murkrow. The so called Darkness pokemon. Don’t let the name fool you though, they’re perfectly friendly and if you befriend one, you tend to befriend the entire flock. They’re particularly feared and loathed in more rural areas, often seen as a sign or bad omen. Not untrue, they have a tendency to prank and lead travelers astray after offering help.

Clarissa obtained 1000!

“Krrrow?” The Murkrow, having been busy preening and cleaning its feathers seemingly, would turn just in time to see the Buneary leap into the air, and plant its little fist right into the side of its face. “Kroooow!” The dark type pokemon tumbled back, barely able to flap its wings before it was summarily launched outside of the window, tumbling away from the building before managing to steady and level itself.

“Muuuurrrr…” It hovered near the window, glaring at Sir Lopsalot. With a flap of its wings, it would loose a powerful gust towards the Buneary.

Temple - > Ancient Grove
@Pyromania99@Thayr

“Oh no, I’m always free.” Yasu grumbled. Hatty, by now, had managed to poke Yasu enough for the young woman to pick her up and carry her in her arms. “Alright, we better get going. The sooner we get this over with, the better.” She’d grumble. “And you two, keep up. I don’t want you straying from the path. Pokemon can get a little aggressive out that way.”

Following Yasu out of the temple, she’d lead them back out into the streets. A short trek later, they’d find themselves back on route 1. Yasu for the most part, kept quiet, not wanting to speak much. Hatty contented herself with simply sitting in Yasu’s arms, though every now and then Camilla and Isla would both catch the pokemon peeking over Yasu’s shoulder and just…staring.

Menacingly.

“I believe it was…right…here? Ah, yeah, here it is.” A fairy ways off the road, hidden behind a small cluster of trees was the tree Yasu had mentioned. “Its hard to see from the road, if you don’t know what you’re looking for. My family wanted to keep people away from it as much as possible, but…” Yasu shook her head. “...lets keep going.”

Heading off the beaten path, the group would find a small dirt trail along with more talismans hanging from the trees. The further they went, the more a feeling of something not quite right began to creep up as a cool mist began to cover the ground. Or rather, a feeling of the ancient nature of this place pressing down on the trio.

An oppressive nature that was soon broken by a loud cry.

“Herra!”

“Eeek!”

“Teeeen-!”

It happened quickly, from above one of the tall trees a large, insectoid blue pokemon fell to the ground.

A Heracross! Yasu had been knocked to the ground, Hatty rolling across the grassy floor as Yasu dropped her. The blue beetle pokemon wasted no time in turning to face the trio, glaring at the intruders as it readied its horn.

It did not seem like it was here to make friends.

Well, she was half hoping someone would. Or at least she'd find herself falling into a portal and then hitting the ground in front of them at their destination. Did Sakura's portals even work like that? She didn't know, but it'd be super convenient if so. She'd never have to walk again! These rather pointless thoughts were bouncing around in Numakos head as she bolted towards the door and -

"Weh-"

The wall of spears shot up, Numako nearly found herself being impaled on them as she barely managed to stumble to a halt, breath lungs heaving as she caught her breath, taking a few steps back from the spears as Teratoma engaged alongside

"Note to self...work on cardio..." Numako steadied herself as Teratoma engaged. Well, she could weaken it, but if they could get a decisive blow on it before things got too bad, then that would be for the best. This ghost wasn't the only one that could throw hands, either. "Huff...alright...lets try this." Numako raised her hand, her gaze solidly on the Samurai, an open palm raised, extended forward as though she was trying to grab him from a distance.

As soon as the fist was closed, the floor rippled as though it was no longer solid material. Arms covered in decaying flesh, rotten sinew and old holy talismans shot up from the ground, intending to bind the arms and legs of their undead foe.

“Hm.” As they walked, Marzana would offer a pouty frown. “You lose them because a little thief decides she wants to play a game with you.” A total non answer once again as she’d take the necklace off from around her neck, holding it out in an open palm for Richard. “A family heirloom of sorts. This keystone is…sort of a key? Prison. That’s the easiest way I can explain it. That thief broke it, but I’ve made a new one. Anyways, don’t worry about the details, it won’t help. Just know they like to cause trouble. Me and Mattie here just finished dealing with one deeper in the caverns.”

As they walked, Marzana took a decidedly lazy approach, and curiously Richard would notice a distinct lack of wild pokemon on their way back up, almost as though they were avoiding something. Them, perhaps. The only ones that remained were a few Nacli that didn’t seem bothered.

“If you want to know more, boy.” A small smile formed on Marzana’s lips as she moved closer to Richard. “Come find me on route 4…but before that,” The entrance to the cave was in sight now, the walk not having taken long at all since there weren’t any wild pokemon or Richard wasn’t making a mad dash to flee from said wild pokemon. “I have…to go do my day job, so to speak, ahaha. Ta-ta. See you around, Richard. Or not. Come on Mattie.”

beep beep. Richards pokedex would ping the moment the two decided to leave. It was a text from Laurel.

Laurel: Richard, I think I’m about done here. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Miss Clarissa ran into trouble and Byjerlfal and is requesting help…I plan on continuing on to Giervor, but I wasn’t sure you’d have a signal in that cave. You can thank me later for this information. I don’t care whether you go or not to help her, I’ll be fine.

Laurel: Munchlax is doing well, by the way. The little cretin has already eaten half the food I had prepared for this trip.

Going in through the window, the group would find themselves in the main factory area of the old factory. A few conveyor belts, old, rusted machines. Some spooky looking machinery that looked like it’d be pretty noisy if turned on. Upon Yuu and Jill climbing in through the window, Jill would have a rather amusing sight. A small group of about five rattata had apparently been congregating under the window. Asters' sudden appearance though, seemingly spooked them and caused them all to scatter.

A few lights flickered overhead, indicating the place still had power. Despite it being the middle of summer here in Byjerlfal too, a persistent chill permeated the area. A steady, rhythmic electrical bzzt noise could be heard coming from a nearby machine.

The Gastlys spherical body tilted to one side, almost mimicking a head being cocked to one side out of curiosity, observing the jerky.The ghost type proceeded to laugh, open its mouth and with its long, fairly big tongue licked up the jerky and proceeded to happily chew on it. Clarissa had at least avoided a battle, though she was now a bit...damp from it.

“Gaaaastly.” Seemingly satisfied, it proceeded to sink into the floor, leaving Clarissa alone, though she got the distinct feeling from her abilities that it was still nearby…and watching her. More disconcertingly though, was that the TV displaying static seemed to flicker, briefly showing something else…just as a door further down a hallway opened, all by itself. If she checked the front door, it would appear to be locked, as would any other door aside from the one that had opened.

If she decided to, indeed, head towards that room she’d find a small staircase leading up to a second floor. Seemed like it was a bunch of office spaces for management at one point. In a perhaps good display of luck, there was an open window at the end of the hallway. A Murkrow was roosting lazily on the window sill.

“Do I look like I know the answer to that?” Yasu responded gruffly. “But…well, Hatty probably has her reason.”

“Teen.”

“...she says she wants to make sure you're safe.”

“Teeeeen.” Hatty, was visibly pouting.

“No other reason, no.” That sounded like Yasu was lying about something, but Hatty didn’t respond as it finished eating its berry, hopped off the table and walked back over to Yasu where it’d hide behind her leg.

The more recent records for Camila wouldn’t show much. It seemed as though the dates surrounding the particular incident ten years ago…were missing. Like someone had done something to them or taken them.

“Hey, you done in there?” Yasu called towards Camila. “Hatty wants me to take you two to that old shrine, so you get out here or I’m leaving you behind.”

“Hmm…what indeed. Nothing too troubling, just a little catching and finding. A little thief stole something from me. A family heirloom of sorts, and I’d like someone like you to help find it.”

“We’re looking for ghosts,” Mattie interjected.

“Pfft.” Marzana couldn’t help but to let out a little laugh. “Ahaha, Mattie you can’t just say that. No one will believe you. Well, no one but me and maybe that little thief. Ooh, if I see her again…” The eccentrically dressed woman would offer Richard a small, slightly unnerving smile. “Haa…no, that sounds like too much work and I’m already shirking things as it is.”

"Perhaps, but it is the truth," Mattie responded. "Well, an oversimplification, maybe, but the truth." She motioned to Marzana. "My friend here has lost some people of the... unalive persuasion and needs help re-gathering them."

“Ahah, well, its not people really. Its more similar to energy? Perhaps it would be easier to show you Hmngh…Mattie, thinking is hard. What do you think-”

beep beep

“Ah? Oh, I get a signal here. Tsk.” Marzana proceeded to click her tongue as she’d fish a phone out of her dress, somewhere. “Oh hello Otto. Oh, you sound unhappy, is there something wrong?”

There were the distinct words of a very annoyed male voice that said ‘late’ and ‘Rossaden’.

“Haaa...you always have so little faith in me. My track record is perfect you know. I'm in a cave now, so I'll be there soon.” Otto, did not sound happy about being obviously hung up on. She’d put the phone back in her dress, somewhere.

Mattie seemed unphased by all this, merely tilted her head to the side while Marzana has speaking. Once the other woman had hung up, Mattie asked, “Is there a problem?”

“Hm? Aw, does little Mattie care about me?” She’d ask, wrapping Mattie in a hug against her chest and giving her a little head pat. “No, no problem. Buuuut it does mean I have to go do my actual job for a while. That said…boyo. If you want to help me out, come to route four sometime. I’ll be waiting there for a bit.” Notably, she never answered Richards question about the ‘good feeling’. “Or don’t, and let misfortune befall all of Eidda. You're choice.”

If Richard had nothing else to ask or to say to them, the pair would leave. Taking him with them too, if he requested. Would give him a little more time to question them, if he did.

Marzana and Mattie are leaving. Following them out is likely the safest choice. That said, the eccentric pair may be more trouble than its worth, though it would let you question them more.

The Chibi Professor was in a field full of flowers, surrounded by Cottonne. She was feeding them.

“Cottonee, The Cotton Puff Pokemon. I love these things. They make the best pillows to lay. If only I could sleep more, mngh. Anyways, they’re usually friendly pokemon and lots of people use their cotton as bedding and pillow stuffing.

For some reason, people who see it seem to want to slack off and sleep as well…” Camphor grumbled lightly as the Slakoth slowly joined the Cottonnee in her in the pile. “Must be nice…sleeping that long…”

Finding the Toy Factory wasn’t too hard, after that. He'd find himself arriving on scene just as Aster was bolting through the window.

Some actions/locations you could go to

You’re in a pokemon center and the Poke Mart.
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.
It looked like someone unfamiliar walked into the lab while you were battling.

“No, go ahead. Just keep it quiet.” Yasu responded in affirmation to Camilla before turning her attention to Isla. “Mhm, Travel back towards Byerlfal on Route 1. About a third of the way there, you’ll see a tree with some talismans hung on it. Go south from that tree and you should soon find a small, overgrown path. That should take you to it. Wild pokemon are a bit more prevalent in that area though, so be careful if you do go.”

“Teeeen?.”

“...Hatty?”

“Teeen!”

“...No.”

“Teeen!”

“Geh-Fine! Fine! No need to shout, ugh.” Hatenna went back to happily munching on her Wiki berry as Yasu in turn winced from the loud shout. “Hatty wants us to go with you if you go to the shrine.” Yasu grumbled, frowning lightly as she’d rub the back of her head.

Camila’s phone call to Frieda would go through without much trouble. After a few moments of ringing, Friedas friendly voice would pick up.

“Oh, hello Camilla. Just the usual…the professor been a little disgruntled more than usual. Chloe Rothschild did show up…late and well, apparently some weird pokemon attacked her while she was in the lab? But anyways, ehm…Celebi? The Mythical pokemon…my knowledge isn’t well versed in Mythicals but lets see…”

Frieda would hum lightly to herself as Camila could hear the soft tapping of computer keys on the other end as she walked into the small record room. It was a small study, desk, filing cabinets, nothing too special. A computer hummed idly on the desk, likely a digital record of things while the filing cabinets possessed physical copies. Going through all the records would take ages, but starting would be better than not.

The most interesting thing at least, showed that many written records had been kept dating back nearly hundreds of years. Notable incidents from the records include that the village often had a festival of some sort every decade - supposedly meant for Celebi. This festival continued up until about a hundred years ago when a child went missing on said festival day. The parents, the family and likely Yasu’s ancestors called off the festival after that.

“Are you wanting to know anything specific? I assume you’re in Pines End and visiting the temple if you’re asking about Celebi. Habitation wise well…I mean, it loves the forest and is seen around there…I’m not sure what else to say. There are very few confirmed sightings of the Pokemon ever since it was first recorded so we know very little.” A pause as Camila would hear a sharp intake of breath. A few more keyboard taps. “Pines end used to celebrate some sort of…festival or something every decade, but the family that has run the temple for generations called it off after their only child went missing on the day of the festival. Also…” Frieda’s voice became a conspiratorial whisper. “I didn’t tell you this, but about ten years ago to the date today the Professor was asked for her opinion on an odd happening in Pines End. I don’t know the details but it involved the family that looks after the temple and apparently primarily, their kid-wah professor!”

The sound of the phone falling a Frieda supposedly dropped it.

“N-nono, just calling Camilla! She’s in pines end, was asking me about Celebi. Yes, yes, I know I’ll get back to work sorry,” She’d pick up the phone again. “Sorry Camilla, need to get back to work. Let me know how your investigation goes!”

Some actions/locations you could go to

You could head back to route 1, or head on to route 3.

Somehow, it worked.

The cursed water hit its target. The blacked liquid coating the undead naginata wielder just enough to give it a moment of hesitation. The large centipede creature, thus, proceeded to eviscerate the undead, ending at least one threat for now. She was a little unsure what to think about it taking a second to glance in her direction, but there wasn't time to linger on that.

She could already feel Mae's incense getting to her a little.

"Nngh...bweh, this is giving me a stomach ache..." She'd grumble. It was fine for now, as long as it didn't get stronger and the weeping god stayed dormant she'd be fine. Swiftly turning on her heel, a wall of inky water formed between her and the gunners behind, stopping the bullet in the decaying waters, before it would turn into a fast moving wall and knocking over the undead, if nothing else leaving it and others around it prime targets for anyone else. In the same instance, Numako started moving, following behind the path cleared by Teratoma. "Don't suppose anyone would want to carry me? No?"

Not that she was expecting anyone to just scoop her up as she'd move as swift as her lazy self could run, dousing a few of the Ashagiru that were being targeted by others in her waters and alternating between knocking over or taking out a few more.

Pokemon: Dream

Seasalt caverns
@PKMNB0Y

Try as it might, the Nacli’s defense had been lowered heavily. The Leer’s effects had soon compounded. Doubly so, it was growing increasingly frustrated by its many whiffed attacks. The rock throws mostly missing, bouncing off the cavern walls and careening off towards the floor and a few even down the chasm the waterfall disappeared into. Which meant, it was also growing more and more careless.

When Luna darted forward, another Rock Throw was lobbed towards the grass snake - but it left it right open as Luna would slam her body into the rock type. Even with the type disadvantage from a normal hitting a rock type Nacli’s defense didn’t stand a chance. With a somewhat pitiful and annoyed cry, the Nacli slid across the ground, spinning from the impact just as Richard’s pokeball would clink against its head.

…

Success! Nacli was successfully Captured!

Nacli

The Chibi camphor was sitting at a desk. A Nacli was sitting on a shelf that itself, was over a mug of coffee.

”Ah, Nacli. The Rock Salt pokemon. The first ones were born in a layer of salt really deep in the earth, supposedly. Really friendly and they’d used to give people their salt. Supposedly, their salt is really good at repelling ghost-types and spirits. Not sure if I believe that myself, but science seems to say ghost types really don’t like being around Nacli and their evolutions.” Camphor went to pick up the coffee mug and take a sip, before immediately making a comical gagging noise and choking. Apparently, the Nacli’s salt had spilled into the coffee…

1000p obtained!

Level: 7
Gender: Female
Moves:Tackle, Harden, Rock Throw, Mudshot
Ability: Purifying Salt

1000p Obtained! Would you like to give Nacli a Nickname?

And with that, the Nacli was caught. A successful capture. Luna was a bit hurt, but at least the battle was over with for now and he was up one more pokemon. Getting out would be fairly easy, as long as he followed the route back up and didn’t antagonize any more zubats. So it was probably fine.

However, just as Richard would start making his next move…

“Well, that was certainly an…experience.” A slightly, whiny sounding voice would catch his attention from where the waterfall was careening over the edge of the chasm. A quick glance under it, would reveal two people walking up the narrow path. One was…one was dressed in what was clearly foreign, slightly perhaps out of date clothing. Covered in red and golds, with various bangles dangling from her wrists and ankles. She was notably barefoot, and seemingly unbothered by it and there was anodd stone hanging around her neck. “Haa, that Garganacl was scary. I almost got sent to the afterlife.” It was said with a mildly amused, flippant attitude.

Her companion was a pale young woman with long, unkempt red hair, the fringe covering her eyes so it was a wonder she could see where she was going. She was dressed in a simple and fairly conservative teal dress. She simply smiled in response to her friend's comment... or at least, half-smiled. One got the impression she wasn't used to smiling.

“Hm…you're not very talkative are you?” The somewhat flamboyantly dressed woman would say. “That’s fine. We can talk without saying anything.” Silence befell the two as they reached the crest of the path that would bring them to Richards level. It seemed like the barefoot woman was indeed, trying to telepathically communicate with Mattie, judging from her somewhat unblinking gaze.

“Hm…you know Mattie. You’re hard to read…ah.” The pair then noticed Richard. Wordlessly, she’d walk over to Richard…and proceed to place either hand on the sides of his cheeks, pinching and lightly pulling on them before he had a chance to react. “Hm…you have a good feeling to you, boy.” She then released Richard, offering him a friendly, if somewhat unsettling smile. “Want to make some money? Thats something people like, right?”

Mattie kept her distance while the other woman approached Richard, offering instead a small, somewhat timid wave in the boy's direction. "Don't mind her," she said, her voice low but soft. "She's harmless. Mostly. I think."

“Indeed, I’m mostly harmless.” The perhaps, somewhat overly friendly woman responded, still wearing her mildly unsettling smile. “Oh, right, silly me. I need to introduce myself. Marzana. Fortune teller and kind of a big deal around here, hm? That’s my name. At least, that’s what people call me, yes? This is Mattie. Anyways, would you be willing to help?"

Who ya gonna call?

“Weird Misdreavus?” Frieda frowned. “Camphor doesn’t particularly like ghost pokemon…so she doesn’t keep them around…Uhm…Maybe there’s a baby pokemon I haven’t been informed of…I’ll look into it and ask the professor about it.” Visible confusion aside, Frieda would start to explain more about the job Chloe had been given, but before she could get another word out Chloe grabbed Jill and bolted from the lab.

“A-ah! Uhm…g-good luck!” Frieda would call out as they left. Clarissa and the group chat would soon get a text in response from Remi, Nevine, and Laurel.

Group Chat

Remi: Ooh, Sorry Clarissa. Me and Nevvy just left Byjerlfal and are heading to route 25. Try not to let a ghost get ya! Careful though! That place was closed down years ago after some accident.

Nevine: …The toy factory…its cool. I take naps there sometimes…

Remi: LOL, Nevvy that’s not good! At least invite me next time and we can have a spooky sleepover!

Laurel: Nevines’ lack of sleep posture aside…I am currently out on Route 2 with Richard. We are planning on heading to Giervor and will soon have our first badge.

Remi: What she means is she’s a tryhard and you guys bore her. Also, Hi! We missed you at the lab! Nevvy’s asleep but she says hi too! I’ll treat ya to something when we meet! Toodles for now though, we got some pokemon to catch!

Remi, Nevine, and Laurel

Finding their way to the Toy Factory wasn’t hard. The only snag was that when they finally got there…the doors, seemingly had been locked. How did they get inside? There was a window that they could potentially get in through that was open just enough to squeeze in on the ground floor if they wanted too, though they could probably also just break the door. It didn't look all that strong and it seemed pretty rusty and old.

Thankfully at least, It didn’t seem like there was anything immediately going to bother her in this little foyer area. At least immediately. Clarissa had enough time to send out the group text, catch her breath and collect herself.

Well…for a few moments anyways. It wouldn’t be long before Clarissa would feel a chill up her spine. The air noticeably cooled. The foyer itself seemed to be a square room. The old lights overhead hummed with electricity still, thankfully giving off light despite years of disuse in the factory. A desk where there was likely once a check-in or some sort of security personnel letting people in once worked. And just behind the desk, was a TV.

It would switch on, static playing on its screen.

“Gaaastly…?” Floating just through the wall near where her had was, a ghostly noise and a little black ball of floating gas was now watching this static screen, looking from her, to it. It didn’t immediately seem hostile…more curious than anything, perhaps, though it was floating between the door and herself, making any escape route having to go through it…

A wild Gastly appeared! What does Clarissa do?

“I am well aware of what Celebi is and what Celebi does.” Yasu rather taciturnly replied, turning her unimpressed gaze towards Isla. “And what, you want to damage the forest or cause something to happen? Did I hear you right? Yeah, no thanks, I’m not looking for extreme options.” She glanced to the side, pursing her lips before shaking her head. “The only thing I can possibly say is aside from the shrine here,” She’d motion to the sealed and closed square little box house against the far wall. “There is another shrine deeper in the forest. It's not hard to get to, but its off any known trails.”

Hatty had waddled over to a table where some berries had been placed. After climbing on top of it, the pokemon started eating quietly on a Wiki Berry.

“Could start there if you wanted to, I guess. Might be some books or other material here too…theres a room over there that has some records, I think. Otherwise, leave. Hatty and I don't really care much for guests.”

Whatever the black ooze that the creatures collapsed into...well, in her professional opinion, was not good in the slightest. She had experience with spooky black liquid, after all. As the others continued their assault, Numako remained mostly near the rear. They certainly were handling the fighting relatively well and easy enough...she thought, briefly perhaps that she could take it easy. Stay near the back and not get involved and simply let them do all the fighting. It was relatively safe back here and she didn't want to get in the thick of it.

"I'll support her best I can." She'd shout back to Yuma. Was It actually a Her? Probably not, but it was far easier to say that then A-188. As her tired eyes fell upon Teratoma and the naginata wielding specter that seemed fairly adept at not getting crushed. While Agent Mae, Yuma, and Arisa were busy dealing with the chaff then...

"Haa...I could really go for something spicy right now..." Moving without any hint of swiftness through the battlefield, Numako made to evade a few of the Ashigaru, while a thick barrier of black water was put between herself and the Arquebus wielding specters. Bullets sank into the black water, stopped in their tracks.

As she got close enough, between when the Ashigaru were reloading, the barrier of water dissipated, as the structure sank and then...a wide arc of the black liquid shot overhead, raining down on both the Ashagaru immediately in front of her. Notably however - it was aimed to land right on top of the Naginata wielding warrior that Teratoma was busy trying to chew on. It wouldn't be a particularly powerful attack, but with any luck the cursed water should weaken the specter enough for Teratoma to finish off. She'd need to get a bit closer in order to try and bind the spirit.

Dealing with the first two Nacli was…easy enough. Snivvy being faster, could easily get a Glare off to paralyze them. The first one would choose to opt for a defensive strategy - using Harden repeatedly followed by the occasional rock throw or mud shot. This dragged out the battle considerably, considering Luna’s only offensive move at the moment was tackle which wasn’t very effective against a Nacli…

Still, with the combination of already being slower then Luna and getting Paralyzed, Luna would take just minimal damage from it.

Luna grew to Level six!

The second opted for a more aggressive approach, favoring rock throw. If the Nacli wasn’t repeatedly unable to move from Paralysis, Luna might have been in a good bit of trouble here. Instead, all the Nacli could do really was angrily glare and get off a few that would be easily dodged. So aside from taking a stray rock to the body, Luna would come out just fine.

This left her and Richard to deal with the one currently in front of them.

The Mudshot sailed through the air, slamming right into Luna.Despite Richards quick thinking and instructions, there wasn’t enough time for Luna to dodge the already incoming attack. That said…

Luna’s Speed Rose!

Despite the mud and gunk from the attack covering Luna’s body, she seemed just a little faster than she normally was…which made avoiding and dodging the Nacli’s attacks just a bit easier. Luna herself though was starting to not look so great after the last two battles and taking a Mud Shot.

As Luna was recovering and preparing another Leer, Nacli seemed content enough to keep itself at range, a little confused as to why Luna hadn’t been slowed and had opted to instead use Rock Throw, keeping itself at range while Luna would alternate between Leer’s and avoiding the Nacli’s attacks.

If he wanted to win though, or catch it, he was going to have to go on the offensive, though…

Wailords Rest
@Crusader Lord
Urban Exploration

Heading out of the cafe and towards the rest of Industrial District proper, Clarissa would be met with more dock workers, factory workers and similar types. Finding the old Toy Factory wasn’t too difficult. Beryl would give her pretty clear direction. Follow the street down the dock until you see the giant sign that reads ‘Stellar Toy Co.’ Amidst the various buildings, warehouses and manufacturing plants that littered the Industrial district, it stood out with its large multi-colored lettering, and the once vibrant colors of the company's logo, a four pointed star were now faded and washed out from years of neglect.

Atop the large factory, just behind the sign seemed to be a large chimney. At the very top, it was hard to make out, but she could see a large number of bird pokemon circling about and roosting on it - and inside of it, it seemed like.

Navigating through the somewhat narrow alley between two warehouses and through a hole in an old fence, would bring Clarissa to her goal. The unlocked doors to the toy factory itself. There didn’t seem to be any way to get up from the outside currently…which meant, the only way up…would be inside.

Pushing past the rust covered doors that creaked with age, Clarissa would find herself standing in a small foyer. A subtle chill in the air persisted. The cries of some murkrow could be heard both above and further within, but something was telling her there were certainly more than just murkrow and the usual urban pokemon here.

Now then, what would Clarissa do?

“Hmph.” Yasu let out a grunt. “Well, you’re nothing if not informed. Yes. Celebi, though not from Johto. Well, maybe its the same one, but I doubt it.” The woman would fold her arms as the Hatterene behind her seemed to grimace with a minor bit of annoyance as it looked in Isla’s direction, no doubt a little put off by her. “You are correct. This temple was dedicated to it ages ago. Supposedly, it protects this forest…” Her voice trailed off for a few seconds, eyes looking over the intricate carvings. “And this town. This town is probably one of the most rural places in Eidda. A lotta the folks here don't care much for the hustle and bustle of city life but..." She shook her head, grumbling something before fixing her gaze back on the other two." Which brings me to my question. If you’re that smart and work for the Professor, then you must have some idea on how to go about finding this mythical pokemon.”

Yasu’s statement was followed by silence, a steely gaze narrowed at the two of them. She didn’t seem like she was going to elaborate or explain. Hatty gave a little huff and started walking away, not particularly liking the vibes, maybe.

Frieda, was at a loss. As Chloe started talking faster than the assistant could think, she only started stumbling and eeking out some muttered words and half-hearted apologies. Hearing that some pokemon had attacked her though, caused Frieda to frown. Her stutters of apology were replaced by confusion instead as she’d furrow her brow.

“Attacked…the only pokemon she has at the moment is a Grimmsnarl and-ah!?” Her words, cut off just as the Snubbull decided to go say hi to Aster. Frieda followed after Chloe, but before either Chloe or Frieda could get close to Snuggles and before the Snubbull could get to Aster -

“Imp!” Running out from behind a nearby chair where he had apparently been eating some stolen food, Pix bolted between the two, jumping in front of Snuggles. “Dimp.” It clapped its hands together quickly, a loud clap of white energy reverberating towards the canine pokemon as Snubbul was hit head on with a Fakeout and causing it to flinch.

“Impy.” Pix, thus turned towards Aster and gave the monkey a thumbs up.

“Ah pix there you are you little rat!” Frieda huffed, quickly grabbing the Impdimp. “Jeez…uhm, I am really sorry about that Miss…” Frieda turned her attention back to Chloe as Pix wiggled out of Frieda’s grip and retook his normal position sitting on her shoulders. “I’m unsure what erm, pokemon attacked you. The only ones right now are in the Habitat and they’re all baby pokemon we’re studying and rearing. Camphor’s only pokemon is a Grimmsnarl and this little guy…” She shook her head. “And if I could uhm, have your attention over at the desk again…”

Walking back to the receptionist desk, Frieda pulled a few objects out from behind it.

“Your pokedex.” Frieda said, handing Chloe a sleek looking device. “Unlike standard rotom dexes, ours is a little…different. The professor wanted to keep a close eye on the progress of the pokedexes herself, so, well…she added a few things. It comes with the standard usual features, and has the contact info for the other trainers and hires on there already if you want to use them. Also Camphors direct line, though I erm, would suggest you don’t call her unless its important. And here, a little welcome gift.”

”Chloe was handed Five Pokeballs and two potions!”

“As for how this is going to work, you’ll get paid once for each pokemon you scan and each pokemon you capture. So for example, if you find a pidgey you’ll get 500p for registering it in the pokedex. You’ll get another 500p if you successfully capture it. The Pokdex also acts as identification and licensing for trainers. If you ever decide you want to visit some other labs around the region, such as the Mexatus Institute or the Mireth labs, since you’re affiliated with us the pokedex acts as a basic clearance to allow you to be in most labs.”

“Impydimpy!”

“Is there anything else you want to ask?"
