[@Joshua Tamashii][@Eklispe] The two made their way through Route 6 as quickly as they could. That turned out to be a bunch of trouble, having to avoid several herds of Tauros that occasionally were in movement, and as they had learned Dodrios were potentially a danger if they even saw them. They might have had to battle a couple low-leveled Fletchlings if they didn’t want to take long detours, but otherwise they were getting through with relative safety, occasionally seeing other trainers riding through on Pokémon or otherwise. Seemed like riding on Pokémon was the preferred method of crossing this route. There were more sights of Kangaskhans feeding and playing with their young and Pyroars trying to capture stray Tauros or Bouffalants, but otherwise it was just the Ponytas and Doduos running around that were the regular sight. However, as the mountain range to the north cleared, the surroundings changed. It was still a vast route of green in all directions, but suddenly, people appeared. This now was the sole route through which to reach Raremine Town, and seeing how most of the traffic to and from Raremine Town goes to Worldedge City in the north this makes the eastern part of Route 6 way more populated, and perhaps as a result, way safer. It was still just a vast plain and there were still herds of Tauros, everyone kept out of their way, but the Bouffalants, Dodrios and the Fletchlings seemed to know better than to make territories in places where trainers commonly passed through. There were wagons of boxes being pulled north, and trainers looking to catch some of the wildlife in Route 6 in a safer environment and the other end of the Rapidash Rapid Delivery could be seen on the outskirts of Raremine Town. And there, travelling along, was a single motor-powered truck, running carefully over the road-less plains with a huge cargo. A single female trainer on the back of a Rapidash was prancing on the left side of it, standing by as if guarding it… which considering the Route was quite likely. That was all it was, and seeing how the area was safe, Dawkin and Amelia could safely make their way forward towards wherever their next destination was. From here, Route 8 awaited in the north, and further east was the ferry over Route 16 or Raremine Town. Looked like it would be easy sailing from here on ou- The earth suddenly shook. Something beneath the ground was making it vibrate, and the trainer on the Rapidash staggered by the truck. The force of the vibrations where heavy for several seconds, before suddenly the ground behind the truck exploded in dirt and sand, a massive creature opening its wide maw and blasted out from under the ground.

It has sand gathered inside ports on its body which it blasts out in towering twisters to attack. It is known to be quick to anger, and carries within it a huge strength. Its gaping mouth can open over seven feet wide and crush down with enough force to total a vehicle.[/i][/color][/center] True to the words of the Pokédex, the Hippowdon’s teeth [i]stabbed[/i] into the back ramp of the truck, and then [i]tore[/i] the whole backside of the vehicle off, throwing the flat piece of chewed metal scampering over the plains. This was done before either the driver or the trainer beside the truck realized what was going on. And then… There was a sudden rush as Pokémon exited the truck. Some were bugs that fell onto the ground and quickly crawled off at high speed. Others were flightless birds that jumped and attempted to glide away. More numerous were two different kinds of two-legged tailed lizards that jumped down and ran angrily in any direction they could muster. What they all had in common, however, was that these were not Pokémon you commonly saw in this day and age. In fact, they should all be extinct.

It once swan in warm seas, it lives today only through reanimation from fossils. It hides behind rocks and then springs out with speed and clutches onto prey with its two large claws. While it once was a great swimmer with its eight wings, something in the water has changed and today’s water is inhospitable to it.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/cd/408Cranidos.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/6iFUcYC.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #408 – Cranidos, the Head Butt Pokémon. A primeval Pokémon, it lived in jungles 100 million years ago, alive today only through reanimation from fossils. Its skull is extremely hard, used for headbutting prey and enemies. It’s known to headbutt trees to snap and fell them for no apparent purpose. It noticeably lacks intelligence.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a3/566Archen.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/zx2QETR.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #566 – Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. Revived from a fossil, it’s said to be the ancestor of all bird-Pokémon, though later research says this might not be the case. They were unable to fly, but lived in tree-tops and used their wings to jump from tree-branch to tree-branch or simply to glide a considerable distance.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c3/696Tyrunt.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/t11kfPb.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #696 – Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokémon. A Pokémon that was restored from a fossil, it originally lived 100 million years ago. It is largely known to be spoiled and selfish, if it doesn’t get what it wants it throws a temper tantrum. Such tantrums are highly dangerous as their jaws are strong enough to chew up an automobile.[/i][/color][/center] [color=8a685f]‘NO!’[/color] the driver of the truck suddenly cried out as the ancient Pokémon spread out. He stood on the breaks, causing the truck to come to a sudden stop, but barely had the truck stopped before he had kicked open the door, holding up two Pokéballs. [color=8a685f]‘Yanmega, Bronzong! Recapture them!’[/color] He threw down the two Pokéballs, and with two flashes of light two Pokémon appeared. One large, green, tailed and flying, the other big, blue, metallic and levitating.

It’s wings are strong, it can create shock-waves by churning its wing and can easily carry an adult human on its back while in flight. It has an amazing jaw-strength, which it uses in its preferred combat strategy of soaring in to bite at top speed before flying away again for another run.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #437 – Bronzong, the Bronze Bell Pokémon. It caused a buzz when it was first dug up at a construction site after 2000 years. Dug up from the ground, these Pokémon were in ancient times revered as a bringer of rain and plentiful harvest. It can summon rain clouds, allegedly by opening portals to another world, it is said. [/i][/color][/center] Meanwhile, the trainer on the Rapidash jumped off her steed, and threw down another Pokéball. With a flash, a majestic bird of brown feathers and long comb spread its wings and drifted into the air.

Can usually be found cantering plains or fields. It is very competitive about speed, loving to run at full speed, around 150 mph. At great speed, its flames blaze ferociously, enhancing its appearance. It only slows down to let its children catch up to it.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #18 – Pidgeot, the Bird Pokémon. This Pokémon is known to fly at 1000 meters height to spot Magikarp over water before soaring down to catch. It is capable of flying at Mach 2. If threatened, it spreads its wings to appear intimidating, and if that doesn’t work it can unleash gusts capable of bending trees.[/i][/color][/center] [color=fce2a4]‘Roland, Perseus! Herd in the ancient Pokémon, don’t let them get away!’[/color] the female trainer commanded, and as the wind the horse and the bird were away, faster than even the most energetic critter. With Yanmega, Pidgeot and Rapidash all as quick Pokémon able to catch up to the relatively slow ancient Pokémon, they were herding in most, but… [color=b39d5d]‘HIPPOOOOW…!’[/color] The Hippowdon in their midst suddenly shouted out, and a vast stream of sand shot out from its insides, the area suddenly blowing into a powerful sandstorm. Yanmega, Pidgeot and Rapidash all had trouble navigating and herding as normal in the midst of Hippowdon’s sandstorm. … But which ones weren’t affected the slightest? Why, the fleeing group of ancient Pokémon of course, courtesy of their shared Rock-type. They could flee right past the Pokémon trying to herd them, and straight towards… why, that would appear to be straight at Dawkin and Amelia. It wasn’t ALL the ancient Pokémon, they scattered in all the directions of the compass, but… [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/45/347Anorith.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/9ik7ErP.png[/img][/url] [url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/cd/408Cranidos.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/6iFUcYC.png[/img][/url] [url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a3/566Archen.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/zx2QETR.png[/img][/url] [url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c3/696Tyrunt.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/t11kfPb.png[/img][/url][/center] When you got one of each heading towards you, one can just wonder what the difference really is. So, what now? Leap out of the way and protect your own skin? Actually make an effort to fight back and keep the truck-owner’s Pokémon from escaping? Figure that there is something really suspicious about a truck-driver travelling with a truck-load of ancient Pokémon and that perhaps Hippowdon’s the good guy and try to act accordingly? Some other possibility? All up to Dawkin and Amelia. It should be noted that the sandstorm grows weaker the further from Hippowdon it is, and the two of them are a bit of a distance away, further away than a regular Pokémon battle would be able to take place on. They're outside the distance where it'd count as effective herding by the Pokémon of the herder, so to say, the ancient Pokémon were emerging from the dangerous part of the sandstorm and coming at them. Their Pokémon would not be buffeted by the sandstorm by just this, though notably there's still sand in the air. __________________________ [@Rune_Alchemist] Ellyn didn’t look even the slightest amused by Claire’s words, keeping a straight face and staring back with a frown, not saying a word. Her Pokémon returned to her, Mareep stumbling back and both Bonsly and Cyndaquil walking back to her, still focused on Claire and Anise’s Pokémon. Natu jumped back, expressionlessly staring at them. Then, at Claire’s “let’s let them go, Anise”, Ellyn was already retrieving her Pokémon. [color=507173]‘Maple, we’re running,’[/color] she told Maple after her Pokémon minus Natu were back in their Pokéballs. [color=db845c]‘… Huh, I think that’s the first time you’ve told me what we’re doing instead of the other way around…’[/color] Maple mused. Ellyn didn’t react, though Maple smiled a bit.

It is known to be violent in battle, raging forth at enemies like in a berserker rage. To earn the respect of a Pangoro, a trainer will need to learn to fist-fight with it occasionally. It is, however, quite kind-hearted and will defend companions or the weak in the face of oppressors. Twitches in its bamboo leaf somehow allows it to predict an opponent’s moves.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #534 – Conkeldurr, the Muscular Pokémon. It uses concrete pillars as walking canes, and can swing these pillars freely in battle using the centrifugal force of spinning concrete. It is said that, thousands of years ago, Conkeldurr taught humans how to make concrete.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #448 – Lucario, the Aura Pokémon. It can sense the Aura of others, and can by that read their thoughts and movements, and can by that detect even far-off or hidden foes. They use this to detect prey, and also employ aura as offensive power. Often hunt in packs.[/i][/color][/center] Pangoro roared out, hands held out wide, Conkeldurr and Lucario standing somewhat behind the roaring Pokémon. The Pangoro was huge, obvious scars going over its shoulders and body, one specific going right through its (still intact) right eye vertically. It was obvious from here this was the Pokémon in charge. … Aaaaaaaand behind them numerous smaller Pokémon were tumbling down the wall trying desperately to copy their head-honcho but only resulted in them falling on their faces or into uncomfortable piles. Yet, as soon as they were able to, the energetic henchmen did their best to get on their feet and dash to flank their leader to look at Claire and the rest, doing their best to strike poses to look as cool and intimidating as the Pangoro. They were failing.

It follows Pangoro around like henchmen, imitating the leader to the best of its ability, but it’s nowhere near as intimidating. Besides this, it enjoys being played with can be quite mischievous. It’s rather easy to trick, so if you pretend to be scared by its glare it can be very effective for boosting its confidence.[/i][/color][/center] [color=e04f4f]‘Thaaaaaaaaat’s the king of the castle…’[/color] Anise confirmed the obvious about the Pangoro that had blocked the way out. And, just in case they figured they’d turn around and try to make their way in the other way, two [i]other[/i] very powerful Fighting-types were walking through the rest, the smaller fighting-types quickly darting aside to allow their superiors to walk through. And these two were slightly different types.

It lives in warm and humid climates feeding on trees and plants in fields or forests. It’s a powerful fighter, with light footwork and punches that stretch, it’s said to put pro boxers to shame. The seeds on its tail are poisonous and should not be eaten. It spreads poisonous spores from its head as it fights, taking advantage of the dazed opponent.[/i][/color][/center] Well, this particular Breloom seems to have gotten lost in the mountains, frowning at them and standing guard. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #392 – Infernape, the Flame Pokémon. Its crown of fire is indicative of its fiery nature. It uses a special martial art that incorporates all its limbs in addition to the flames on its hands and feet when it attacks. It is known for its supreme agility and speed, as well as its willingness to take on any opponent no matter how tough.[/i][/color][/center] The Infernape was leaning on a building with crossed arms, leg on the building looking at them, ready to spring to action. They were positively surrounded by powerful fighting-types. [color=507173]‘Welp,’[/color] Ellyn declared in an unenthusiastic and absent tone, [color=507173]‘we had a good run. Nice knowing you.’[/color] [color=db845c]‘Wait, wah-wah [b][i]we’re not dead yet![/i][/b]’[/color] Maple objected in panic, spinning towards the king of the castle and bowing. [color=db845c]‘We challenged the castle, and we concede defeat! We’re truly no match to his coolness!’[/color] Maple attempted, smiling to the king. Notably, Anise was utterly calm, even relaxed, despite the circumstances. The scarred king Pangoro looked over them silently for numerous seconds, his henchmen standing around or occasionally giving coy shouts to intimidate or unnerve the individuals present while the king considered. So, would Claire do anything? __________________________ [@Pikmin Eye] Despite Sprout’s consideration, Smog did matter somewhat, doing a decent bit of damage, even if it couldn’t poison. In any case, Koffing rolled from another Vine Whip and sapped a bit more from the Leech Seed growing on him, and then Martin threw another Pokéball. Koffing was hit, and with a flash of light it went inside the Pokéball, which dropped to the ground. It rolled once, it rolled twice… [hider=result]… it rolled thrice.

As soon as Martin had seen him, the trash bag Pokémon waved to him with one of his limb-like extensions, specifically waved the universal gesture for “follow”. After having done so, Trubbish turned and ran. Follow? [hider=If Martin followed]Trubbish led Martin through several alleys and through a factory, walking past several Grimers and Koffings… before reaching the wall of another supposedly abandoned factory. Except, said supposedly abandoned factory had a fully functional tightly sealed metal door. A door that could be opened with a key-card.

Somehow, you feel lighter, like some strange weight has been taken from your shoulders. Looking up, tall, massive structures, structures seeming to defy gravity and common sense grows, stretching high into the sky and far down across the cliffs. The people look calm, focused on their duties and sprawling in their number, holding a vital position in all the businesses of Isson. The design of the streets are narrow, illogical and unstructured, feel like they would be easy to get lost in, yet it is as if you’re being guided by fate’s hand and you’ll arrive where you were intending to go. In the distance, always watching, the peaks of a distant mountain rises. You are now in Worldedge City. Isson’s largest city. It grew into place at both sides of Mt. Edge as efforts were made to dig through the mountain and join the northern and southern landmasses, it was known as two different towns until the use of Abras as public transportation method within the city was widely adopted and the city grew to become known as one single entity. Widely accepted is the idea that a mystical energy of some form within Mt. Edge surges around the buildings, calling Psychic Pokémon towards the mountain and therefore the city. People living here have easier time feeling at ease with the world, and the laws of gravity doesn’t apply as they maybe should to the buildings around here. From this would Isson’s most successful city grow to be, at the place where two or more worlds connect. So was Worldedge City named. It should be noted that being called a “Worldedge Resident” has some negative stigma attached to it. If you are one, you’re interpreted as a lazy individual who has it easier than the rest of the world, happiness coming naturally to you and you probably see yourself as superior to the rest of Isson, and you might not be entirely sane or [i]yourself[/i] due to constant exposure to the energies of Mt. Edge. Of course, this is a stereotype that most people recognize and can see past, but there is no smoke without fire, so to say. There those who are very distrustful of the energies of Mt. Edge and would rather never subject themselves to it. These particular dislikes compounded and grew strong enough in some people that the Crossing was created just south of Worldedge City just so those individuals could get past without entering the city. The city is comprised of six different districts. Three districts on each side of Mt. Edge, stapled on top of one another by the way of leaning on the cliff sides and mountain as well as giant pillars, taking advantage of the strange physics around Mt. Edge. Exits out of the city are on the middle districts of each side. Each district have their own Pokémon Center and Pokémart, but otherwise have their own unique features.[/hider] [hider=Higher Southern Worldedge City, Mystical District][center][h3]Mystical Sector[/h3][/center] [hider=image+description][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/Kx5DRyq.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/6K078uZ.png[/img][/url][/center] The tip and top of Southern Worldedge City, here the power the mountain provides is enough for certain buildings to [i]float[/i] in mid-air.

First and foremost is the Pokémon Gym, floating above their heads, and also the Worldedge Floating Stadium, the largest and most amazing of the multiple stadiums in Worldedge City, where the most epic of battles in the city are fought and watched.

There aren’t that many things here that would keep a Pokémon Trainer dawdling around for long, and most residents here are fine with that. It is still quite the spectacle, walking on the bridges between these pointy buildings, finding the streets and wondering how you're not lost yet in this maze of stairs and bridges, never touching the ground. Far above lies the Mystical District and there are plenty of stairs up, and down below is the Industrial District… It may feel a bit enclosed.

The factories of Worldedge City are far below the Information District, down at water-level, where at the base of Mt. Edge countless machines tumble and toll for the continued success of man- and Pokémon-kind. Being below two other districts the Industrial District is naturally dark, even during the day, but countless lights shine it up and the workers do not mind one bit. They have their own marketplaces, their own little residences and they certainly earn enough to make their own lives when it comes to that. But, among the factories and warehouses are those that stand empty, and one might have to wonder what’s actually inside them sometimes.[/hider] Notable Places: 1. Factories. [i]Produces everything from Pokédolls to furniture, and who-the-heck-knows.[/i] 2. Abandoned Factories. [i]Produces everything from Grimers to street thugs, and who-the-heck-knows.[/i] 3. Warehouses.

Edge, splitting the city in half, the ominous peaks having something unfriendly in their jagged shapes to deter any potential hiker wishing to take on its tunnels… [hider=Mt. Edge looms…][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/WYM4Ji0.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/ODLSjYu.png[/img][/url][/center][/hider] To reach the Northern Districts, Martin will need a teleport Abra or walk through the tunnels of Mt.

While the building architecture still might require a raised eyebrow, the atmosphere is healthy and playful, many families making their life here on top of the Commercial and Entertainment districts, where they work. Schools and little parks for children to learn the ways of Pokémon exist, and there is nothing saying those older cannot use them too. The Little Cup stadium is here, allowing the children to watch and perhaps participate without straying too far from home. Yet, among these buildings live a few of the most noteworthy individuals in Isson. Like the rumored and powerful Crone, who has to be battled by a strong trainer every once in a while or she will stir up trouble, or like the empty mansion that supposedly belongs to the Champion…[/hider] Notable Places: 1. Practice Park. [i]A little park in the residential sector where children can catch low-level Pokémon and train for the real thing.[/i] 2. Pokémon Day Care. [i]For people to leave their Pokémon while they’re doing something else. Some people don’t like PCs, so~[/i] 3. Little Cup. [i]A small stadium for battling. Levels 15 and lower, only.[/i] 4. Champion Estate. [i]The Champion supposedly lives in this mansion here. It looks abandoned.[/i] 5. Creator’s Apartment. [i]You instinctively know where this place is somehow, despite nothing advertising it. It’s visually an ordinary apartment. The door is open.[/i] 6. House of the Crone. [i]Signs say “We appreciate people challenging her to keep her from being bored, but only if you are confident in your strength.”[/i][/hider] [hider=Middle Northern Worldedge City, Commercial District][center][h3]Commercial Sector[/h3][/center] [hider=image+description][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/Avr3hre.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/Avr3hre.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Squeezed in-between the Residential District and the Entertainment District lies the Commercial District. It’s a long, winding corridor of tight buildings with many bridges and storefronts, and it all leads up to the Worldedge Department Store, the biggest Pokémart in Isson. If you somehow cannot find what you’re looking for there, then you’re probably all out of luck. It isn’t all there is here, however. Among the corridors is the House of Trades, where people can sit at computers and request trades with all other people that have ever been there, as well as the Psychic Train that uses certain teleporting abilities to achieve transportation to a distant town. Or, if those don’t reach where you want, you can just call a Freecape Ferryman and s/he’ll fly you there, assuming you have the cash. Also here, lies the store where the infamous inventor Russel sells his products. Perhaps, if you’re lucky, the fool’s things actually work for you? No guarantees, though![/hider] Notable Places: 1. Worldedge Department Store. [i]Products from all over Isson gather, right here. The largest store of Isson.[/i] 2. Worldedge Trade Station.

Given all the buildings on top, few actual lights come down here even during the day, but all the blazing lights in this unnatural city-scape more than make up for it. Plenty of the skyscrapers holding up the Commercial District above have some form of advertisement, and each open door opens a new possible way to spend money in these depths of entertainment, probably with some form of Pokémon logo. Down here lies the most famous and populated Game Corner on Isson, where thousands of P are being wasted every day, and houses for unofficial Contests or Battles for money and prices are sanctioned and bet upon for the enjoyment of viewers and participants. It truly feels like if one never got bored, one would probably never run out of things to do down here… assuming the wallet didn’t run dry, that is.[/hider] Notable Places: 1. Worldedge Game Corner. [i]Only play with as much you’re willing to spend![/i] 2. Countless restaurants, stores, cinemas, show-houses, amusement-parks, whatevs. [i]You can waste the rest of your money here, on whatever you want![/i] 3. PokéMania! [i]Do battle for the enjoyment of the viewers, and have sudden strange rules applied to every battle! Fancy prices~[/i] 4. Contest Clarity. [i]Forget all ranks, here we do contests for the show, and the show alone! Oh, and for cash prices~[/i] 5. Deep Dark Depths of Worldedge. [i]This city feels like it goes on forever!
