[@prettydrops] Qwerty used Conversion2! Qwerty transformed into the Fire type! With that, Qwerty hunted out after the Growlithe. She unleashed a Psybeam, which hit the puppy Pokémon straight on. Because of a combination of higher level and a pretty powerful move Growlithe took the majority of its health from the blow, frowning and looking back at Qwerty. [color=e39e68]‘… Rowl!’[/color] Growlithe returned it by sending another Ember back, which impacted Qwerty! But, due to Conversion2, this time it was not very effective! Qwerty took only a small amount of damage and was in a good state to counter, or whatever she wanted to do! That is, Qwerty is most assuredly winning this fight like this. What’s Qwerty and Valen’s course of action? __________________________ [@Gardevoiran] [color=5a6961]‘Heh,’[/color] Earl gave the slightest of a smile. [color=5a6961]‘I have tried that already. However, I am up for trying it again… on the ground,’[/color] Earl said. They probably eventually get down to the ground, and Earl brought with him one of the Beduws, which he then lobbed forward at something that resembled a bunch of grass that could be fought on. [color=5a6961]‘Alright, let’s do this,’[/color] … After Seabreeze had woken up. Herbalist Earl wants to fight! [color=5a6961]‘I’ll start with Budew,’[/color] Earl says, gesturing to his Pokémon.

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] [color=87c466]‘Budew!’[/color] Yupp. Meanwhile, Celebrity started singing to Venonat and Vivia. [color=b5e6e2]'Wait, I-!'[/color] [color=938fbf]‘Veno-!’[/color] Both individuals sounded out somewhat in panic, before Celebrity’s song penetrated their ears, and… both promptly fell asleep, not fast enough to do anything to change their fates. Venonat fell asleep! Vivia fell asleep! Celebrity stands victorious by the sleeping forms of both the Venonat and the trainer. If this was the intention or not is up to Celebrity. __________________________ [@Eklispe][@Joshua Tamashii] Gengar and Cofagrigus took a moment waiting for the army to pass, and then moved onwards. … It appears they’re intending on approaching the opponents head on. Does the two of them have better ideas? [hider=A Map][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/pZl88T4.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/pZl88T4.png[/img][/url][/center][/hider] Meanwhile. To outline the brief adventure of Joshua off-screen. If he wanted a Sigilyph, he’d find one. They’re Uncommon down here, but spend long enough and you will run into one. As for saving the young girl’s father, that probably went off without a hitch. The question then was if he was then sent to find more backup outside the base, if he proceeded to head deeper inside to attempt to save his daughter or if Joshua just brought him to the entrance or so. Regardless, indeed. The thundering sound of quite a few Goletts marshing upon the exit is approaching, with Honedges and Bronzors floating along joining them in their endeavours… Will result in quite a battle quite soon. __________________________ [@Rune_Alchemist] [color=2fbdb6]‘… Eh? Why?’[/color] Archie asked, his eyes wide and his expression one of utter confusion. Bellawesome as well looked over at her, looking surprised. Ramsey, however, shook his head a bit. [color=b6aabd]‘Young master, I bid you to accept the young lady’s decision. She has her pride as a Pokémon trainer, and you should respect it,’[/color] Ramsey told, and Archie looked up at him, still with the expression of confusion. [color=2fbdb6]‘I don’t… get it. But… okay,’[/color] Archie said, sounding disappointed as he looked towards Bellawesome and Ralia. [color=2fbdb6]‘Bellawesome,’[/color] [i]CHING[/i] Ralia fainted! [color=b9cf99]‘Loss,’[/color] After an exceedingly fast last swipe of her sword, Bellawesome made a similarly disappointed sound while letting her Leaf Blade blow off into the winds as regular leaves after she let go of it. She turned and returned towards Archie, who looked to Claire while still looking remarkably confused. [color=2fbdb6]‘… I’ll expect you to come back, okay?’[/color] Archie said, before turning around and dashing straight off the platform onto the sea of trees, joining the Pokémon he had been previously playing with. Meanwhile, Ramsey headed over to Claire. [color=b6aabd]‘May I escort you down, miss Claire?’[/color] With the assumption she’d then head down and get her Pokémon healed… [hider=Stillwood Village][center][h2]Stillwood Village[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/NDG5NfG.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y9bCCki.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Inside these calm forest lies a village completely in-tune with nature. The buildings are built around or in the trees of wood and stone, the light shining onto the village stifled by the great trees above. In the air, meeting your nose as soon as you tread into the village, is filled to the brim with the smell of forest and spores. It’s a wild smell, but somehow it is extremely relaxing and any worries seem to be stifled before the calming village ahead where everyone is always so calm and happy, wild Pokémon walking freely on the roads of the place. This is Stillwood Village, the most relaxing place imaginable, it’s people in touch with nature and wishing the best to all those who come to their cozy and ancient little home. Wild Grass Pokémon freely wander the streets, spreading their spores into the air which the townspeople actively walk through every single day. They are all smiles, very helpful, the entire village and all visitors afflicted by the relaxing sensations brought by the spores during their stay in Stillwood Village. However, these spores are the reason quite a few avoid Stillwood Village, arguing that it messes with one’s mind. It is extremely rare that a member of Stillwood Village moves out of the village, after all. It will also quickly become evident just how little the members of the village care about the world at large, all their worries gone by the relaxing spores and just continue living, no troubles in the slightest. That’s Stillwood Village for you. Budews, Roselias and Shroomish were above all the ones to blame for all the spores in the air, the relaxing smell and the effect that seemed to drain on a person’s worries entering the village. However, in the air drifted smaller beings. Hoppips floated along the winds in Stillwood Village, and high above Skiplooms floated to catch the light heading down, further decreasing the amount of sunlight that actually touched the villagers treading about the village. Also walking about were… Numerous Oddishes had apparently failed to understand that the relative dark was not due to night. That aside, the nice smell of the village was only occasionally interrupted by foul smell of a passing Gloom, but that problem seemed to only be bothering visitors as the villagers didn’t even seem to notice.[/hider] [hider=if she went to the Pokémon Center (which, by all means, don’t if you don’t want to, but)][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.

He prayed for a thrilling adventure, perhaps the luck to run into some rare Pokémon and whatnot… Was that a glimmer of light from the idol? Nah, probably a trick of light. Regardless, he was soon enough turning to head off into the Silent Forest proper. Within, he would find that the skies above darkened under the thickness of the crowns and the clouds gathering overhead. And then, rain fell upon his steps, as the forest before him lit up with mysterious light in the silence… [hider=Arriving at…][center][h2]Northern Silent Forest[/h2][/center] [center][url=http://i.imgur.com/Ehzlo1Z.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/fyeO5Cn.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Before you lies a forest, dark to the sight but that is mostly due to the clouds gathered overhead. Unlike on Route 3, however, the thickness of the trees prevent actually seeing above the trees. The place has a lonely feeling, made only worse by the constant downpour which is the rain around Rainrock City, yet the place is filled with things one would not expect. There are lanterns shining blue light in the trees, there are arcs around the forest for unknown reasons that sometimes look like they’re glowing themselves. There were definitely mystifying powers at work here, these wooden arcs standing as if guiding the way somewhere, yet they lead nowhere, and are strewn around seemingly randomly. True to its name, other than the rain barely any sounds come from within the forest. And yet, among the trees, small creatures dwell. Despite the lonely feeling, it is hard to look in a direction and not seemingly see a sign of movement. On the ground, smaller grass-type creatures were invariably found, while larger creatures that enjoy the rain could also be expected. But most of all, the air was populated by small, floating flowers, and the tiny denizens on top of them… This place was fairly well known for the fairies that inhabited it. If you’re looking for a place to name the Fairy Forest of Isson… This is a good candidate. Within here, three species of Pokémon are common enough to find anywhere. In the air, small fairies clutching flowers flew about… [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/52/669Flab%C3%A9b%C3%A9.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/uIl5apz.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #669 – Flabébé, the Single Bloom Pokémon.

It lives deep in dark, damp forest where it eats the composted soil and fallen leaves. By day it remains still in the forest shade, by night it moves to eat. If it detects danger, it can spout highly toxic spores from the top of its head, strong enough to make trees wilt.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a2/069Bellsprout.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/9U2CH6G.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #69 – Bellsprout, the Flower Pokémon.

[color=7085a1]‘’Pert,’[/color] Swampert simply replied to the question of if it had been a long day, looking pretty tired. [color=f08843]‘We went up extra late for this. Not that you’d see it by looking at this guy,’[/color] the fisherman declared, pointing a thumb over at the Swampert. But, then there were the other questions. [color=f08843]‘Water-type, huh,’[/color] the fisherman commented, pulling and throwing out his line again. [color=f08843]‘Then it depends mostly on what kind of water-type you want. This is freshwater, you’re not going to find any salt-water fish in this. The best fishing spots are actually around the middle of the lake, but the problem with fishing there is that your boat is going to be assaulted by Carvanhas, which isn’t pleasant. We’re all dreaming of the day we fish up a Feebas, but that ain’t happening,’[/color] he said with a sigh. [color=f08843]‘Otherwise you should find some of them in Wet Caverns. If you’d rather have a sea-worthy fish, then suppose you’ll need to head north past Rainrock City until you finally reach a sea-route. Dragon-type, however. Yeah, they’re here. The Lakewatchers that patrol the lake will prevent you from catching them, though. They defend the dragons from poachers… as well as from everyone else, including trainers. That said, they murmur that there’s a place in Wet Caverns where a dragon might be caught without their supervision… dunno where it is, though,’[/color] the fisherman shrugged and continued. [color=f08843]‘Wet Caverns and Infested Forest both work for training. If you find either too tough, you can always head back and head north via Route 1 instead, far easier. … Infested Forest is known to be a place for Bug-types, but some people claim they’ve seen ghosts in there, too. Heh, who knows? Might have just seen a shadow move or something. Eh, I dunno.’[/color] [color=7085a1]‘Swaaamp,’[/color] Swampert suddenly stated. [color=f08843]‘You’re about to have a bite,’[/color] the fisherman translated. If she pulled at this moment…!
