[@Joshua Tamashii][@Eklispe] [color=e3826f]‘Yaaaam…’[/color] One of the Yamask sounded out at the question of what’s going on, the ghosts looking between one another for the moment. They didn’t look like they were sure how to answer. Then there was the question of if they could help, and they perked up. Then if there was a Cofagrigus to talk to. They exchanged looks once again, and then a unanimous decision was made. [color=e3826f]‘Yamask!’[/color] [color=e3826f]‘Yaaaa!’[/color] [color=e3826f]‘Amask!’[/color] [color=e3826f]‘Ya-mama!’[/color] The little swarm of ghosts reached for Amelia’s clothes and started trying to pull her up, and in the direction to the right in the crossing ahead. Though, there was still a Sigilyph patrolling… but two of the Yamasks put on their determined faces and blocked the path before it could arrive. [color=e3826f]‘YaMAAAAAAASK!’[/color] … And they went in to engage the Psychic type with Astonishes, the surprised flying patroller staggering before realizing it had come under fire from denizens of the tomb that it usually protected! Still, the remaining Yamasks urged Amelia on. … They did not do the same for Dawkin, one might have thrown him a confused stare, wondering if he wanted to come too, but otherwise yeah. Ahead in the corridor, the Yamasks then took a sharp left into a small room in the midst of the corridor. There floated a Honedge… [color=e3826f]‘Yamask!’[/color] … That the present Yamasks immediately engaged, flying forward to Astonish the rather confused sword Pokémon. Still, it’d start fighting back soon enough, though it’d be rather outnumbered. The room was otherwise pretty empty, except for one giant sarcophagus in the middle of the room… … No, that’s not a sarcophagus.

They hide within ancient ruins, where it captures grave robbers that mistake them for real coffins with their ghastly hands. Those captured within are said to be turned into real mummies and then left. It is covered in gold, and it likes eating gold, not necessarily for sustaining itself.[/i][/color][/center] It’s currently pretending, but Amelia’s ghost-sense isn’t lying to her. [hider=not updated map, my drawing program is not working][url=https://i.imgur.com/JDqtNqy.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/JDqtNqy.png[/img][/url][/hider] Now then? __________________________ [@prettydrops] [color=de8d6d]‘Mh?’[/color] Kathryn made a little noise of curiosity when Valen asked her to wait, turning around to look at him curiously. She listened to his questions, and gave him a little smile as she started talking. [color=de8d6d]‘Don’t think too hard on it. There isn’t a right way to go on your Pokémon journey or train your Pokémon, and for now you don’t have to worry about how to make them the very best, either. It isn’t like there’s a system in place where you need to KO a specific number of specific Pokémon in order to make sure your Pokémon grows in a specific way you want, or so. Battle wild Pokémon or trainer Pokémon, and they’ll naturally grow. Just have a bunch of fun together. Alright?’[/color] Kathryn told. And then… [color=de8d6d]‘As for going to space… Isson doesn’t really have an equivalent of the Mossdeep Space Center, they’re the ones sending rockets to space over there in Hoenn, but perhaps one day. Who knows?’[/color] Kathryn shrugged and smiled a bit more, but that’ll do for now. Then he took a quick visit to the Pokémon Center… [hider=Pokémon Center visit][url=http://i.imgur.com/9BmULgS.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/YHtjmDC.jpg[/img][/url] [color=f59a95]‘Hello, and welcome to the Pokémon Center. Would you like to rest your Pokémon?’[/color] Assumingly, yes. [color=f59a95]‘Okay. I’ll take your Pokémon for a few seconds, then.’[/color] She’d then accept the Pokéballs and put them into the machine, and… [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZugkxi_b8o][center][i]Di, di, di-do-da![/i][/center][/url] [color=f59a95]‘Thank you for waiting. We’ve restored your Pokémon to full health.’[/color] She says as she hands the Pokéballs back. She then bows to her customer and gives a friendly smile. [color=f59a95]‘We hope to see you again!’[/color][/hider] And then he went and searched the locations of some Pokémon… [hider=Locations of Pokémon searched]People aren’t sure where Mudkips can be found. Everyone wants them, though, and people asking where to find them are occasionally chastised. Some people claim that they appear in the swamps of Route 21, but that’s exceedingly vague. Staryus can be found in the waters of Route 15, and at the coasts splitting Route 15 and Redcoast City. The Pokémon can occasionally be found in large numbers by those sandy shores. Occasionally not at all. It varies. Psyducks live in corners of the Wet Caverns, available for those who seek the waters of those caves. Maps are available in Lakewatch Town. Tentacools exist in the sea, and basically everywhere in the sea. Go to the sea, you’ll find a Tentacool. No need to search particularly. On basically all sea-routes, Tentacools are common. Growlithes are easy. They prowl Route 1, right next to Pureplain City! Vulpix can be found by the roadsides of Route 12 in considerable number. Torchics are occasionally witnessed on the hot plains of Route 20. Sandshrews can occasionally be found in the deserts of Route 7 and more commonly in the Desert Mines. No reports about Trapinch sightings anywhere. Most people agree that’s definitely a fake Pokémon. All reliable sources agree. The unquestionable spot to find a Ghastly is Witchpeak Cemetery, found in Witchpeak City. Honedge can be found in the Old Tombs, which appear to have been made by an ancient civilization.[/hider] And then he went and started training some more against some trainers at the school. Sure.

Found in fields as well as mountains. They commonly rest, half-buried in the ground and indistinguishable from normal rocks. There are always way more Geodude around than a traveler will notice. Stepping on one by accident may trigger their rage.[/i][/color][/center] Then he engaged a couple trainers for training.

It is sensitive to changing temperature. In winter it closes its bud and endures, while in summer it blooms and releases its pollen. This pollen is mildly poisonous and can cause harsh sneezing. It lives near clear ponds.[/i][/color][/center] He got to fight a Geodude and a Budew. With Psybeam at its side, Qwerty was more than able to defeat both Pokémon with current capabilities.

He took that photo, because the Pokédex indeed has a camera feature, and then the newly named Paradise came out of [color=b5e6e2]'Paradise,'[/color] Vivia repeated, a bit in awe at the name. It wouldn’t take all that long for Paradise to wake up, a couple rounds aren’t that long, but still. Still, then he asked what Vivia wanted to do. She looked around with a neutral expression and then spoke. [color=b5e6e2]'I’m not sure. I want to go on to the gyms eventually, but the Pokémon around here aren’t immediately interesting to me. I think I’ll go along with you and train my Pokémon somewhat.'[/color] The Pokémon to train on in here are the Petilils and the Cottonee mentioned earlier, the occasional Jigglypuff, as well as two previously unseen cat Pokémon that they hadn’t noticed earlier.

It lives in holes in trees of forests. It easily becomes fascinated with things and chase them, and it commonly seen chasing its own tail. While popular due to perceived cuteness, it is very difficult to earn a Skitty’s trust and friendship.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/26/431Glameow.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/VSteeQa.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #431 – Glameow, the Catty Pokémon. It claws when displeased and purrs when affectionate. It can switch between the two very swiftly, this fickleness is very popular among some. When happy its tail makes beautiful movements, like a dancing ribbon. Its glare can put foes into a hypnotic state.[/i][/color][/center] They didn’t really have any advantages against the Pokémon around. The grass-types had flying against them but water in their favour against flying-type move less Seabreeze, and they’d notice that all the cats had Fake Out which they’d start out with before Scratching up close. Mostly due to taking damage back in turn they weren’t able to continue too long without taking too much damage, having to stop. Though, they got a decent amount of experience. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Seabreeze grew to Level 8! Seabreeze learned Wing Attack![/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Celebrity grew to Level 8!

Said someone is not Vivia. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Skylar found Wise Glasses![/i][/color][/center] Or more accurately, one of his Pokémon probably did. Paradise can wake up now.

It then watched her as she was outlining the options for how they could attempt freeing it. The Totodile blinked once. Then twice. Then a couple more times. First time had seemed involuntary, it was just time to blink, and then it got confused and blinked more. Then, it placed its two small blue hands against the wood, and pushed. With sound of cracking in the boat but no seeming damage to Totodile, the snout of the reptile shot out on its own and Totodile stumbled back to its feet, standing on the back of the boat Eryn had so painstakingly saved. It looked over at her and opened its big mouth. [color=66c2cc]'Totodile!'[/color] it announced, looking and sounding happy, and then leapt off the boat into the water. It started to swimming up the stream, not looking at Eryn again. She could of course follow if she wished to. Just staying here would mean she’d be left behind as Totodile swam back into the lake.

Then, Lure got in for a Bug Bite just as promised. This was at the same time as Bellawesome dashed in for a strike, and- Lure was slapped by the flat side of the Leaf Blade from straight in front, the blade finely placed between the mouths of the Combee, before Bellawesome used superior strength and led Lure’s charge down into the floor with a slam of the sword following. If Lure continued to hunt after Bellawesome, she’d continue with similar feats, using the blade with magnificent skill to block Lure’s bites while dealing counter-attack damage in turn, all while smiling so happily. Now, Bug/Flying meant Lure wasn’t taking a lot of damage either, but the Leaf Blade was definitely making itself felt eventually. [color=2fbdb6]‘Awwwwww, she’s having fun!’[/color] Archie told, smiling so happily and bouncing a bit in joy on the other side. This final Pokémon of Archie’s was edging out in a stat that could not be found on any chart describing the capabilities of Pokémon. Skill. With it, Bellawesome currently had a significant advantage over Lure, who couldn’t seem to get a solid hit with either Gust or Bug Bite in the regular ways of their usage. What would Claire do now?
