The train has been renovated with new lighting, new reinforcements, and newly-refurbished interiors, with the outer paint job left untouched for that rustic feel. As it houses a shopping center, it is a popular tourist destination, not only for the shopping but for some of the folk tales of the potential haunting of the train itself. The train is situated inside of a train station laden with vines, though since the area is inhabited, there is often hedgework done to trim those vines down (courtesy of local services provided by the Zephyr Maintenance Company’s Bisharps and Pawniards). The shopping center houses a shop per car, and they are lined up and well-lit in an easily-organized fashion. From boutiques to restaurants to souvenir shops to bookstores, you’ll probably find it all in the Zephyr Strip. Around the station is a bit of a ghost town; nothing but expansive plains as far as the eye can see (though if you follow the tracks, you’ll meet a place where they converge with a rail line heading to Central City), with high buttes and mesas extending into the sky. In the northeastern distance, the Atana Mountain Range is barely visible through the haze. There are several windmills set up around the station, most likely to provide an additional source of clean energy. The dry plains house a plethora of Ground, Normal, and Grass type Pokémon. The more inhabited areas, especially those under the roof of the station and the train, will see Steel, Electric, Dark, Fighting, and Normal Pokémon, though in the furthest recesses of the train and the station, there have been reports of ghost Pokémon skulking about. While refurbishing the station, the workers unearthed an enormous statue of the titanic [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Regigigas_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Regigigas,[/url] standing immobile in the deepest recesses of the station. Out of respect, they decided to leave the statue alone, and tourists would sometimes approach it and rub on the moss collecting on its legs for good luck. (Is it truly just a statue, or is it actually Regigigas itself? There's some debate in the town, but there is only one way to find out.) Sometimes the power would flicker, and people who live around the Zephyr Strip attribute it to the mischief of Pokémon like Rotom and Electabuzz, whose interactions with power sources and electrical devices would lead many to conclude that this is so. Notably, this is treated as a sort of routine event for the locals. However, people have been reporting hearing strange noises from the train’s decrepit locomotive. Like… scraping? Some have even seen a dark, rubbery tentacle pass by the window once or twice. There are rumors that it’s a Pokémon not of this world, and that there are actually multiple in there. They insist that Deoxys couldn’t possibly be stuck in a train for that long, but others say that it [url=http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/9536/2901128-7769542889-xurki.jpg]certainly is not Deoxys.[/url] [hr] [h2]Zephyr Strip Poké Mart[/h2] Just one of the strip’s many stores; it’s a convenience store catering to the needs of passing Trainers.

Electronics are failing. Computerised tills are crashing. Due to the increasingly numerous sightings of Ghost-type Pokemon, we believed this to be purely Rotom activity, but recently, our employees have reported the presence of another Pokemon. A Porygon-Z has been noticed interfering with our machinery. This already corrupted artificial Pokemon appears to have been tampered with further, recognisable by its constantly flickering, distorting body and enhanced strength. It is rarely encountered alone, instead surrounded by hordes of ghosts as if opening rifts in dimensions. Anyone who stops this Pokemon and returns the mall to normal will be rewarded. - Zephyr Mall Management Team [b]Requirements:[/b] Any rank, but must have at least three Pokemon. [b]Max number of people:[/b] 5 [b]Rewards:[/b] 23 TP + free Heal Ball per person [b]Notes:[/b] (Not on the mission board) [list][*]As previously mentioned, this is no ordinary Porygon-Z. An attempt was made to fix its glitches, but the errors were accidentally made worse. As a result, the Porygon-Z has increased attacking power and very little control over its actions. [*]Because of its glitches, the effects of its attacks are nonstandard and unpredictable. Moves that wouldn't normally cause status effects may do so, and some of its usually Normal-type attacks may have completely random typing. Conversion and Conversion 2 may work as usual, or change the Porygon-Z to a random type. (Try not to make this feature too convenient, and remember the Porygon-Z is unlikely to be fought alone - see the last note.) [*]The Porygon-Z cannot be caught. Its ability to interfere with technology is so great that no type of Pokeball will work on it. However, if subdued and taken to a Poke Corp programmer, capture will be possible by a trainer of high enough rank once the failed enhancements are removed. [*]It involuntarily creates interdimensional portals that allow Ghost types through, and as such is almost always surrounded by them. These are regular Pokemon that can be caught, although the Porygon-Z may act in a way that makes capture of the ghosts difficult. Any secondary typings will still be limited to what can be found in Zephyr Strip.[/list][/hider] [/hider] [hr]
