[@Typical] Kalmia watched with a smile on her face as Eryn bonded with her new Pokémon. The trio of Pokémon happily accepted the Occa Berry, Pumpkaboo doing some form of half-bow to Eryn and then Kyllene for it. Finally, when Eryn took her goodbyes with Kalmia, she raised a hand to wish her the same. [color=82c6cf]'No problem! Good luck out there!'[/color] Kalmia wished her. Slowpoke did the same, a full twenty minutes after she had left. Eryn escorted the Pokémon back to Infested Woods, where they said their goodbyes and then Eryn and her Pokémon headed on. And, so, eventually, after a meal, she headed for Trainers’ School because money. [hider=Trainers’ School][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/ydsMVIV.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/TTLV1Tn.jpg[/img][/url][/center][/hider] It’s a school. Kids around Pureplain City flock here eventually to learn the basics of Pokémon battling, or there are trainers that come here only to attend the odd lesson before they embark on their big journey. There’s a patch of grass on the side where wild Pokémon can be found, and every week the teachers are known to have found a new specie to release into it in order to keep the students interested. And, of course, there’s plenty of Pokémon battling among the students as they do their best to learn. In fact… To the right immediately after Eryn enters the school, there’s a list of students in a ranking-list on a wall. A huge list of the 50 top students, ranked in Pokémon battling ability, and there’s a thing that anyone who visits can challenge the list to get onto it temporarily. Leaving for too long obviously means falling off the list, but those who rank high gain some benefits and bragging rights. [hider=current unimportant rankings]#1, Jonathan #2, Reynalda #3, Ilda #4, Tillie #5, Neva #6, Gregg #7, Cristy #8, Shizuko #9, Junie #10, Marvella #11 Wally #12, Christiana #13, Zachery #14, Joya #15, Sadye #16, Lisabeth #17, Katelyn #18, Gonzalo #19, Wonda #20, Rebecca #21, Leeann #22, Emerald #23, Leanne #24, Lekisha #25, Juliet #26, Dina #27 Randell #28, Ute #29, Tad #30, Nichole #31, Hortense #32, Mary #33, Beverlee #34, Thu #35, Catalina #36, Livia #37, Shanell #38, Gabriel #39, Ashlee #40, Dennis #41, Gaye #42, Zack #43, Kyoko #44, Jerilyn #45, Debbi #46, Jessie #47, Fred #48, Rich #49, Jenelle #50, Anthony But even above the #1… The school apparently had their own Elite Four and Champion that one could challenge. Pureplain City Trainers’ School Elite Four: Georgia - The Brawler Loke - The Knight Penelope - The Idol Edwin - The Cricket Champion: Daisy - The Siren [sub](The Champion in our hearts, Maple - The Scorcher, is currently out on her Pokémon trip. We send out our most heartfelt wishes to her!)[/sub][/hider] So, here Eryn went to battle against the most common of the trainers down here. That’d be a fair amount of them here, despite the late hour, and Eryn could get into a fair bit of battles!

So, with a varying amount of confidence fighting in battle, most of the kids had pretty local Pokémon. Pidgeys, Rattatas, the occasional Meowth, Lillipup. Found on Route 1, there were a few Growlithes and Ekans, as well. Then, produced from the school park, there was Shinx, Purrloin and Sunkern. Finally, there was this strange kid with only a Remoraid.

They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/46/019Rattata.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/p8F42cq.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #19 – Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon.

Most famous for occasionally dropping out of the sky in the morning. It drinks only dewdrops from under the leaves of plants. If attacked, it will violently shake its leaves. They’re immobile, gathering energy for evolution, which happens either after exposure to enough sunlight or by Sun Stone.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/7e/506Lillipup.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/frPVL7i.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #506 – Lillipup, the Puppy Pokémon. The hair on its face senses extremely subtle changes in atmosphere and can be used as a radar. It’s known to bravely face off against terrible odds, but also to run away from battles it cannot win.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fa/023Ekans.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/XSdmGg5.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #23 – Ekans, the Snake Pokémon. It stealthily sneaks through grass to prey on small animals and bird-eggs. When born, it is short and has no poison, but the poison develops and it grows longer as it gets older. When it sleeps, it wraps itself around a tree to safely sleep high up from the ground.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/3d/058Growlithe.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/SBIQ3RZ.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #58 – Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon.

Through smell, it can sense the emotions of others.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/95/223Remoraid.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/GVJJ2Oe.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #223 – Remoraid, the Jet Pokémon. Using its dorsal fin as a suction pad, it clings to a Mantine’s underside to scavenge for leftovers. It is capable to suck in water and expel it with its abdominal muscles to shoot down flying prey. It has exceptional accuracy, capable of hitting moving targets more than 300 feet away.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] Eryn would not take any particular damage. Her team’s doing fine.

When two Beldum fuse together, Metang is formed. The brains of the Beldum are joined by a magnetic nervous system. By linking its brains magnetically, this Pokémon generates strong psychokinetic power. Its body is tough, one famously survived a crash with a jet plane without a scratch.[/i][/color][/center] [color=dbb974]'I am Loke. “The Knight” of the Trainers’ School Elite Four…'[/color] the tiny kid said in a tiny, child’s voice. [color=dbb974]'Shall we… not?'[/color] Loke asked, giving this super-friendly smile towards her. If she took him on, she’d be destroyed. Seems like preying on those that look weak in the Pokémon World does not always work out. So, that lesson learned, moving on. Instead…! [color=e67f60]'Hey, you!'[/color] A girl with a fierce ponytail and red jacket approached with a determined smirk from the school building. [color=e67f60]'I saw you through the window.

Its cheeks hold poison sacks. It tries to catch foes off guard and jab them with toxic fingers. It rarely fights fairly, in order to ensure survival. While poisonous, the fluids from its fingers are significant ingredients in multiple remedies.[/i][/color][/center] Knows Astonish, Mud-Slap, Poison Sting, Taunt and [i]Rock Smash[/i]. Leanne’s hot-tempered, likely to go for what she thinks does the most damage at all times. This is often Rock Smash, which she taught Croagunk with a TM. Beware Poison Touch, this Pokémon can poison you upon contact!

It lives along along bodies of water. Its shape and coloration differ greatly depending on habitat and region. If a strong force is applied to its squishy body, a mysterious purple fluid oozes out.[/i][/color] Knows Mud-Slap, Mud Sport, Harden, Water Pulse and Mud Bomb. Better be ready to dodge Water Pulses! Or Mud Bombs, in case of Tula. Storm Drain draws in all Water-moves, won’t have effect.

An Eevee evolved by a Fire Stone. A flame sac evolved into its body. Its average body-temperature is around 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, but when it blows out fire it can reach 3000. Constantly heating its surroundings, it has been used for warming houses during winter. Rare to see in nature.[/i][/color][/center][/center] Knows Helping Hand, Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand Attack and Ember. Guess once what Leanne’s favorite is. Has Tackle for Dei. Flash Fire would power it up if hit with a fire-type move.[/hider] That’s a more equal battle. Eryn’s actions? __________________________ [@Ephemeral] Princess came out, and flew high while also throwing down Gust-based Sand Attacks. Stefan jumped back a bit and took it carefully, as this most recent challenger was stirring up the battlefield for him, making it hard to see and most assuredly making it hard to hit her as Princess was flying way overhead. [color=d6d2a9]‘Hooo… Okay, that’s a trick… but…’[/color] Yvonne said, as Erza commanded Princess to dive down at the now a bit more blinded Absol. Thooouuugh… [color=d6d2a9]‘Stefan! Quick Attack!’[/color] With that command, Stefan vanished from in front of Princess, ran around in a circle and hit her from the side, the deprived accuracy not making itself known as Stefan ran about and hit pretty well regardless. Princess fought pretty well, but with Stefan knowing Quick Attack, which was just Tackle but bloody superior, there wasn’t much Princess could do in this battle. Another two Quick Attacks, and Stefan would have knocked Princess out. [color=d6d2a9]‘… Yeah, with that, I think I can announce myself the victor. Sorry about that, but I really needed to vent a little, hahahaha…’[/color] Yvonne told, unable to keep herself from smiling. If Erza can come up with some crazy plan to win here, he can go ahead and try it. Otherwise, he can continue the post-battle talk if that appeals to him. Or just head back to the Pokémon Center, because assumingly, that’s what he’d be doing next. Anyways. What does Erza want to do? If he still wants to Route 15… [hider=Route 15][center][h2]Route 15[/h2][/center] [center][url=https://i.imgur.com/vGJVjAP.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/vGJVjAPh.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/BKnEA9p.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/BKnEA9p.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Both above images describe Route 15. Route 15 is the reason why Redcoast is called Redcoast, as the beaches became one of the most celebrated spots to view the red sky of the sunset in the west. Long rolling beaches of sand spread out across where the water touches the ground, minus where the dock of Redcoast is placed. Here, plenty of rocks and Pokémon adorn the sandy coastline. Here be crabs, most assuredly, as well as a whole bunch of trainers on vacation enjoying the sea, laughing, bathing with family and Pokémon, enjoying their vacations and warm waters. Stretching out west is the sea, and all of its bounties. However, the main reason why one would choose to take to the sea here is because of the island directly west of Redcoast City, called the Sacred Ground. All Pokémon infesting the waters aside, the island is said to be a beautiful paradise on earth where any visitor can relax and feel calm… yet years ago, Team Virtue blockaded access to the island, and now multiple cruisers under their control patrol the waters, trainers and their Pokémon placed upon these mighty boats as they keep a look-out for Team Amethyst, supposedly. They deny all civilians trying to set foot on the Sacred Ground, and those who would try to force their way in will have a Pokémon battle on their hands.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1.

A couple of seconds later… [color=82c6cf]'Hi, Claire! What’s up?'[/color] Kalmia asked from the other side. She then listened to the problem, going a bit [color=82c6cf]‘Hi, Ralia~’[/color] to Ralia when she called, and then spent a couple of seconds in silence as she considered. [color=82c6cf]'Yeah, I see it, it says here you caught a Bronzor. I also got Del here, currently on the PC. But he caught the Bronzor and it registered as yours, and you can’t trade to him? Okay.'[/color] There was some noise on the other side. [color=82c6cf]'I assume the guy has a Trainer Card? It’s a bit hard without one…'[/color] Kalmia asked, and Frans quickly reached into his pocket and retrieved his card, showing his name and registration and such, along with the fact he has all 18 of Isson’s badges. [color=82c6cf]'… Then that’s honestly really weird. It should work as normal. The only thing I could think of would be if someone actually programmed a block on that the Pokéballs can’t connect to that particular trainer, but that’s conspiracy-level weirdness. Why would someone even do that? More like, who could even do that? Yeah, no, I’m a bit out of ideas…'[/color] … In front of her, however, Frans has gone a bit pale. [color=ffb57d]‘… Uh. Um. Th-thank you for your help. That’ll… that’ll be enough,’[/color] Frans said, turning around a bit. [color=ffb57d]‘… Er, I guess this one is still officially yours, so, uh, look after him for now?’[/color] Frans said, handing over Bronzor’s Pokéball. On account of the Pokémon not belonging to Frans, the nickname didn’t register. [color=ffb57d]‘You can keep the rewards. You brought something interesting to light, after all. I’m going to go have a talk with my father…’[/color] Frans said, giving Claire a bit of a pained smile. [color=ffb57d]‘… See, he’s the owner of the Pokéball Factory…’[/color] That said, Frans intends to wander off towards Route 13 with Parvati gently drifting above him. Route 13 was the route on which the Private Palace, Frans’ home, was located. What would Claire do? In case she wants to go do something else. [hider=Route 10][center][h2]Route 10[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/sIJpZI6.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/sIJpZI6l.png[/img][/url][/center] Route 10 is a route dedicated to the sustenance of the largest city in Isson, as well as in large part the other nearby larger cities. Throughout the route, depths of wet farmland stretch under an uncertain sky, where crops grow with unprecedented strength, supported by the might of Pokémon. The air is moist, the plants grow well, and the farmers walk around under the influence of Psychic powers. The roads in Route 10 lead in all directions, the Crossing over the waters beside Worldedge City to the Northern Landmass, through the Mountain Valley to Stillwood Village, or simply west or south to reach the farther areas. The Pokémon walking about the fields are Drowzees, yet the air has quite a few birds. There are Spearows and Taillows gliding about feasting on the bugs these farmlands naturally attract. Digletts are used to tilt the earth to create the optimal environment for farming, Bronzongs float about causing the occasional shower of water, with Bronzors being trained to eventually evolve and join their number. Here and there walks a happy Mr. Mime or a Mime Jr., the older ones creating shields around the crops and the younger ones trying to mimic them and failing. It's quite clear from the mystical air that this is very much considered quite close to Worldedge City still. There were a bunch of farmers in the fields as well, looking over the Pokémon and the potential threats.[/hider] [hider=Pokémon of Route 10][center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/3e/096Drowzee.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/DditXb3.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #96 – Drowzee, the Hypnosis Pokémon. It gains nourishment by consuming dreams. Fun or happy dreams are more delicious, and it can get a bad stomach from nightmares. In battle, it puts enemies to sleep and then eats their dreams. It remembers every dream it has eaten, and if you make friends with one it can show you its best dreams with psychic powers.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8b/021Spearow.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/oaBvlQG.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #21 – Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. It eats bugs in grassy areas. It cannot fly very high, but uses its wings to blow insects out of grass for easy pickings. It’s very territorial, and its reckless nature means it will stand up to even far tougher opponents to defend its claim. It has a loud cry it uses to warn other of its kind of danger.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e4/276Taillow.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/EdcW3dg.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #276 – Taillow, the Tiny Swallow Pokémon. Many Taillows are young, just leaving the nest, and may cry in loneliness at night. It feeds off bugs and crops in forests and plains. It’s a very gutsy Pokémon, known to bravely take on tough foes. It likes warmer climates and will migrate during cold seasons.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/31/050Diglett.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/TQOhMLZ.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #50 – Diglett, the Mole Pokémon. They live underground and spend most of their time submerged. It’s weak to light, and will only pop up where shielded or in caves. They often exist a mere yard underground eating roots. They’re often raised on farms, because soil dug through by Digletts is left perfectly tilled for growing healthy crops.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c1/436Bronzor.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/Z1yC6Yx.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #436 – Bronzor, the Bronze Pokémon. They were found in ancient tombs, and implements shaped like them are too. Ancient people seem to believe the pattern on their back had mysterious powers. They are closely related to mirrors in ancient writing, yet no surface of it is properly reflective. X-raying it, there’s nothing inside.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/aa/437Bronzong.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/OYlywyW.png[/img][/url][/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] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/37/439Mime_Jr.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y2O1HJd.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #439 – Mime Jr., the Mime Pokémon. It likes to gather among people. It’s known to mimic the expressions and motions of others in an attempt to understand them. In battle, it mimics its opponent in an attempt to confuse it, before quickly dashing off while they’re confused.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/ec/122Mr._Mime.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/d4fNtFP.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #122 – Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon. A master pantomime, it practices constantly. It generates a mystic force from its fingers, creating an actual invisible wall by stopping air-molecules. Should it be disturbed during its act, it slaps with its broad, powerful palms. It enjoys conning people.[/i][/color][/center] The cooperation here appeared to be that Digletts make the earth ready for harvest, the Bronzongs spawned the rain that gave the crops energy, and the Mr. Mimes defended the crops from things that would eat it. Then the Drowzees in Worldedge City were just so plentiful that the farmers put them to work wielding tools with their psychic abilities despite knowing their dreams are going to be so completely eaten come night. And that’s how Route 10 worked.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.[/i] 2. Train Pokémon.

Rotom turned and curiously stared back. Rotom chuckled at her, and was totally ready to threaten with a couple sparks… when Celebrity went and pulled out the microphone. Rotom blinked at her a little in surprise. Then it was time to start singing. [color=f08159]'ROTO-!'[/color] Rotom spun and tried to fly away, but the Sing (which is a single-target move) soundwaves caught up to the ghost and the electric possessed washing machine promptly fell asleep. Vivia stepped up then and pulled Rotom’s Pokéball, calling back the sleeping Pokémon somewhere he could take a nice, long nap. [color=b5e6e2]'… Thanks,'[/color] Vivia said, breathing out a bit, looking to Celebrity, and then reaching down to pat her a bit more, because perhaps she liked that. Anyways. Skylar’s action now? And perhaps Valen’s, as well? They’re currently at the Silent Shrine, primarily for praying or heading back to Highhill Town. Or Northern Silent Forest to the north and Southern Silent Forest to the south. Lorette’s still around close enough, too, frankly. Shrine Maiden of this place, and all. __________________________ [@Joshua Tamashii] [@Eklispe] [color=5d6fb0]‘I said that [i]at worst[/i] I'd be interpreted as an extremist, I didn't say I was one,’[/color] Roderick corrected, sounding a mite bit frustrated. [color=5d6fb0]‘You're naive if you think the forces of the world are balanced. It does not concern me, I'll simply deal with the problems as they come. Yveltal being a problem? I'll deal with it. Xerneas becoming a problem as a result? I’ll deal with that. Arceus having a problem with me messing with his balance? Then by my title as the Boss of Team Virtue, I'll deal with him, too!’[/color] [color=5d6fb0]‘Deal with him!’[/color] Chatot repeated. Then, however, there was Hydreigon sneaking up on Cresselia as she was charging her moonblast. However, Cresselia was not so unaware as to not notice. Her objective might be Darkrai, but she was still a Psychic-type on a battlefield. Noting Hydreigon approaching, Cresselia spun about in mid-air and sent her beam hurling back towards Hydreigon. However, this was a hurried move with a beam that typically needed to be calm, Hydreigon was experienced enough to see the signs and dodge a direct hit… but the sheer power of the beam meant even a near miss still showered Hydreigon in fairy-type offensive energy, dealing Super Effective damage x4. Hydreigon was certainly on his last legs after that. This meant, though, that if Bisharp was still thrown he was free to make an attack on Cresselia, as there was no moonblast to deflect. Pangoro did his Earthquake, and- [color=5d6fb0]‘Oh, darn-’[/color] Roderick was quickly grabbed by Archeops as the ground beneath him gave way. Being that the Earthquake wasn't aimed directly at any Pokémon it didn't damage anyone, but it literally levelled the playing field as the walls of the crypt came tumbling down, Luxray stylishly jumping down from a large rock, Roderick carried down by Archeops and Chatot while Oscar came rolling down with his arms around his Smeargle protecting the Pokémon from the ordeal. By this point the room was covered in a cloud of dust from the falling debris, the girl behind Amelia had given a slight noise of distress thinking the whole tomb was going to come crashing down on them. However, everyone seemed unharmed, save the archeologists that just woke up in a cold sweat. Now Joshua and Amelia started talking ceasefire. [color=5d6fb0]‘I'd be hesitant to let you be his trainer. After all your drivel I wouldn't be surprised if you let Darkrai freely put people into eternal nightmares because “it's in his nature”,’[/color] Roderick told, [color=5d6fb0]‘and I'd hardly call this situation “for no reason”...’[/color] Roderick said… but then sighed. [color=5d6fb0]‘... However, I can tell both our sides are battling for some sort of justice, and champions of justice should not fight. That said, Cresselia may not see it that way…’[/color] Meanwhile up above, Cresselia may or may not have been attacked by Bisharp, but for the sake of this continued scene she was able to keep the critter from climbing on her. That was, however, when Dawkin activated the Pokéball, attempting to return Cresselia to it… and while energy shimmered around the legendary, it was as if she simply [i]refused[/i] the Pokéball's call. Cresselia spun towards Dawkin, glaring something akin to cold murder, and headed to fly towards him…! Now, Cresselia’s only intention was to nab away the staff from Dawkin, though it was likely he’d mistake her intentions. Not that they’d ever be clarified. … Because that's when Darkrai appeared, blocking the way between Dawkin and Cresselia. To Joshua and Amelia, Darkrai had just suddenly taken off at high speed when Dawkin had attempted to call Cresselia back. Cresselia wavered, faced with her rival, whose gaze squarely told he didn't like the way she had looked at Dawkin. Cresselia backed off, but quickly started charging another Moonblast…! Darkrai snapped his fingers, and a small light emitted from his hand. Cresselia recoiled, stunned, as a small light show of energy danced around her before vanishing. That, was Disable. Cresselia's Moonblast was Disabled! Unable to suddenly perform her only effective attack, Cresselia panicked, looking down into the tomb as if for help. As soon as she realized that she wouldn’t be getting any, the Psychic legendary suddenly blasted away at far too quick a speed for any normal being to catch up to. The once again wild Cresselia soared off into the heavens. [color=5d6fb0]‘… Let me get this straight,’[/color] Roderick spoke, looking up at where that exchange just happened. [color=5d6fb0]‘In the great natural balance of things Arceus preordained, Cresselia and Darkrai battle for our dreams…’[/color] He looked at Joshua. [color=5d6fb0]‘… and Cresselia finds herself a Psychic-type meant to balance out in a fight against a Dark-type?’[/color] … He shook his head a bit, regardless of the answer to that. [color=5d6fb0]‘Regardless. I am willing to overlook Darkrai's departure from this tomb if he does so as someone's partner. However, let me make clear. If I hear that Darkrai's been putting people into those never-ending nightmares of his… I'll find you, and I'll do what I do best.’[/color] So Roderick said, his Chatot landing on his shoulder and nodding, while behind him Oscar was picking himself up and giving his Smeargle a hand. Didn’t look like he’d been able to draw much. Darkrai descended down into the crypt again, placing himself in the center of the room, his might obvious as the legendary Pokémon set himself down after Cresselia had been driven off. He was facing Joshua now. Well, then. One thing, first, however. The likes of Darkrai couldn’t just join anyone. They’d have to prove themselves worthy of him. Honestly, it’s Pokémon tradition, so please don’t consider it unnecessary violence and try to negotiate as to why he should join without a fight. Darkrai floated in the middle of the room, looking towards the one who would want to call himself “the Trainer of Darkrai”. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM4hTbIK1Ww]Would he like a go?[/url] Still, that does not concern Dawkin and Amelia! What would they like to do? Dawkin will have his power-up for at least a bit longer. [color=e0ae2d]‘…’[/color] The girl from earlier is still standing here, Abra on her shoulder, camera in hand, snapping a picture of Darkrai. She probably got one of Cresselia earlier, too. Yupp. [hider=You are currently inside Old tombs][center][h2]Old Tombs[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/nT1sqgu.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/nT1sqgul.jpg[/img][/url][/center] A perfect mix of sand, civilization and senescence. The old tombs are once grand halls construed out of a rocky interior decimated by time. Old buildings still stand, magnifique in their architecture and proud in their stature, showing the grace of a time long by. The halls lead deeper, but many of the passages are blocked by the sands of the desert, which has leaked inside through unintended openings that has broken up by time or digging. Who knows what kind of wonders await down inside the different buildings that still stand down here, or what kind of creatures still stirr in the wake of the civilization that once stood here. Because all the writings and discoveries that have been decoded here point to the same thing; these are tombs. Magnificent and deep tombs that lead who knows where, protected by the same protectors that once protected the civilization above ground as well. These protectors still walk these halls, threatening those who would wander them.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon.
