A well-established technological center of the region, Domara is nestled in a semicircle of forested mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. A river runs through mountains, and empties into the ocean, but Domara sees most of its of trade from the oceans. A large department store as well as a few big pokemon-related businesses can be found here, but the city mostly focuses on research and development of technology.

Most mild and sunny speckled with clouds. Winters see more rain but no snow.

Volatus is the defacto "Capital" of the Shima region, and it's largest city. Located high in the Volatus Mountains, the City (And the Mountains) are named for the hero Volatus, who citizens of Shima claim caught the first flying-type pokemon. The area has unheard-of mineral wealth, and every major corporation has an office in Volatus.

Generally cool and rainy, but with lots of snow in the winter.

Jon's parents were Oran Berry farmers, and he was born miles from the nearest town. His parents, both coming from farming families, wanted him to take up the family buisness when he came of age. Unfortunately, there was nothing that Jon hated more than farming. The idea of staying in the same place, doing the same thing everyday, scared him to no end. He wanted to be a pokemon trainer, like his uncle. To his everlasting graditude, his uncle gave him a Ralts for his 17th birthday. When he was 18, he left home without turning back to travel the world.

Jon has a love, nay, need for adventure. It's what drives his every move. The idea that tomorrow, he might see or do or taste or touch something he never has is what wakes him up in the morning. There's nothing he hates more than routine. Through all of that, though, he is a perfectly nice guy, and is always willing to help if one were to ask.
