[@Eklispe] [color=fce2a4]‘Oh, yes. That happened, didn’t it? You didn’t get to see my best side, I’m afraid,’[/color] Leila told before giving him a kind smile. [color=fce2a4]‘I’m Leila, Pokémon Trainer, and representative of the researchers of Raremine as well as Worldedge. Pleased to meet you.’[/color] Florrie blinked a bit. [color=b2dbb2]‘D-did I ever introduce myself?’[/color] Florrie asked, suddenly frozen in place. She then spun around to Dawkin. [color=b2dbb2]‘I-I’m sorry! I’m Florrie, Pokémon Trainer and lab assistant! Pleased to meet you!’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘… And I’m Professor Dunstan,’[/color] the man said, casually saying that he’s the most famous researcher in Isson. He put his hands in his pockets and stood, looking over to Florrie. [color=8a685f]‘So, Florrie. Your reasoning is that because he has the Pokédex, we can trust him?’[/color] [color=b2dbb2]‘Y-yes!’[/color] Florrie said, bewildered. [color=b2dbb2]‘He’s been entrusted with one of the very few Pokédexes that the foreign professors made, this must mean he’s a worthy and dependable trainer to be entrusted with something like that! If the Professors trust him, then so should we! Besides, that Pokédex already knows about Zygarde and told him upon scanning Zei…!’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘Is that so?’[/color] Dunstan says, not sounding particularly convinced. [color=8a685f]‘Leila, what do you think?’[/color] [color=fce2a4]‘Hmmm, I think he has his head on straight,’[/color] Leila said, probably recalling how he made her and Kristy not fight. [color=fce2a4]‘Besides, it’s not like we have a lot of options, now, do we?’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘I suppose not,’[/color] Dunstan says, and then looks towards Dawkin. [color=8a685f]‘Well, then, kid. Would you like to partake in a possibly dangerous mission that might involve taking on criminals and threats of a scope you can’t even imagine with little to no backup? We can’t tell you anything until you agree, but it is for the sake of the betterment of the world,’[/color] Dunstan asks, staring blankly at Dawkin. [color=fce2a4]‘Now, now, Dunstan, don’t intentionally try to scare him away,’[/color] Leila told, giving him a smile. [color=fce2a4]‘We can tell you this much, at any rate. Zygarde 50% form long inhabited the Desert Mines. We found him, noted that he existed, and then didn’t bother him. Zygarde consists of a collection of separate cells, the more together the more powerful. Zygarde is mainly regarded as the guardian of the ecosystem, who rises up to destroy those who threatens the order of life on this planet. The 50% form is a form it takes to monitor. It uses some unknown senses to keep track of all the threats in the world, and should any of them cross the line it will summon the rest of its kind and become the 100% form, capable of whatever you’d expect a Legendary to achieve.’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘So when we found it, we obviously let it be. We don’t mess with Legendary Pokémon, but I did try to study it as best I could,’[/color] Dunstan said. Then, his look became serious. [color=8a685f]‘However. A week or so ago, someone visited the 50% form… and blew it open, scattering the cells. We’ve tried seeking in the desert and in the Desert Mines, but we’ve only found enough to create the 10% form. Basically, we need trainers to seek through the rest of the world for Zygarde Cells, and protect them from whatever person it was that destroyed the 50% form…’[/color] Dunstan shakes his head a bit, looking grim. [color=8a685f]‘… However, more importantly. We can’t allow whoever destroyed Zygarde to do it again. He must have done it with a purpose in mind. As such, information about what we’re doing must be kept under wraps.’[/color] [color=fce2a4]‘Dunstan doesn’t trust the Pokémon League, and any normal trainer might be connected to the man who tore Zygarde down in the first place, so we’re terribly short on options,’[/color] Leila said with a smile. [color=fce2a4]‘Not to mention, we have our regular businesses and troubles to manage…’[/color] [color=8a685f]‘… So, there you have it. We recollect the cells, make the 50% shape, let him monitor whoever destroyed him somewhere safe. Then Zygarde can administer whatever judgement he decides appropriate when we get there, as the 50% shape should be able to summon the rest of them,’[/color] Dunstan said, shrugging a bit before looking towards Dawkin again. [color=8a685f]‘What say you? Think you can gather Zygarde Cells around the world while keeping them and the information about them safe?’[/color] Dunstan asked. Yupp, that’s the question. [color=8a685f]‘If it’s rewards you’re wondering about, then I do have quite a bit I could offer. You can name your price, and I’ll see if I think you’re worthy of it after a while.’[/color] What would Dawkin respond? [color=8a685f]‘… How did he learn you had Zygarde with you?’[/color] Dunstan asked Florrie. [color=b2dbb2]‘I, um, used Zei against him in a Pokémon battle…’[/color] Florrie told, looking away, mild panic in her face. [color=8a685f]‘…’[/color] Dunstan did not answer, just looking towards her with a blank face. Anyways! Dawkin’s actions? In case he just up and leaves. [hider=Raremine Town][center][h2]Raremine Town[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/saVwpPm.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/rhaACBx.png[/img][/url][/center] [right][sub][sub][sub]no cat-eared girls here, sorry[/sub][/sub][/sub][/right] Raremine Town is a moderately large, bright town on the edge of the only desert in Isson. By some twist, the largest mineral deposits in the land is located right under the desert, making it an attractive place to build mines. From that, Raremine Town naturally sprung into being as a merchant town on the edge of habitability from where the mineral could then be delivered to the rest of Isson. The temperature is hot, sun blazing down on this land where plains slowly become desert, the atmosphere dry and unfriendly… yet, life and trees blossoms among the buildings of Raremine Town. The ground is still the grass from the Vast Plains, with buildings on top of them. The modern houses stand tall with plenty of architectural skill put into them, tools for building and living sold inside the houses. Everywhere, one can see workers walking about, but they’re happy workers, with their families living close at hand in the town and with the finest equipment available. Oh, and of course, plenty of Pokémon that assist with the finding of ores and such! The trees, which appear to have been planted and grown all over town by the residents themselves, gives plenty of homes for local Pokémon to live. Overall, it’s busy, with people walking and talking all over, an active town indeed.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Raremine Town]1. Find Pokémon.

Farewell for now, and good luck on your own endeavours!’[/color] Braith told as Eryn made her way away. Later, at the Lakewatcher Base. [color=6777a6]‘You’ll be assigned to a team which may contain a combination of official patrol members and other volunteers, depending on how many are working at the night. You can bring a friend along if you so wish, you’re the only one actually working?’[/color] he asked, because, like, matters of pay. [color=6777a6]‘However, there may be times where you’re sent off on a smaller boat on your own if we’re investigating something fishy or a battle occurs somewhere and you’re either sent as reinforcement or perhaps to stay as a look-out while the rest are the reinforcement.

In case she didn’t want to. [hider=Lakewatch Town][center][h2]Lakewatch Town[/h2] [url=http://i.imgur.com/DChhkfk.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/QQcVLfQ.jpg[/img][/url][/center] As one looks upon Lakewatch, it is clear it was once built by the side of the water. Yet, over time, Dragon Lake has actually increased in volume, the water-level rising and swallowing the town. Then the natural conclusion would be to move the town back, follow the water-level, and rebuild at the new shore, right? That, does not appear to have been the thought that went through the minds of the designers of this Town, which is essentially placed out in the water on top of older buildings, the streets of the town flooded in water and to get around one has to make use of their many canoes or get on the back of a Pokémon. The town of Lakewatch rises fairly high for its size, and vegetation grows pretty freely around the buildings. Most buildings and streets have white floating cobblestone to walk on either side of the streets, with a river of water flowing in the middle. People here are highly accustomed to this, and the streets are constantly bustling with people heading back and forth, as well as people actually gliding down from the higher buildings from the roofs above using strange little paragliders. It appears people live in the higher floors, while business takes place on ground/water-level. There are canoes basically everywhere that anyone’s free to borrow, townspeople commonly jumping down on a canoe, using the force of the jump to drift it to the other side and then simply jump off. Now, anyone could hear from the name that Lakewatch Town is the town that basically rules the Dragon Lake. The Lakewatchers are a group of people that regularly patrol the waters, and become friends with the dragons that live there. Tours by the Lakewatchers are the primary tourist attraction of the place, along with the fish that is procured from the same lake, and guides are trained to show the way in any surrounding areas. Their boats are also those who trade with the western side through Highhill, keeping the place alive and busy. Plus, there’s always the rumors of treasure or otherwise hiding deep in Flooded Lakewatch, and Descent Tower looms in the middle of town for those hoping to explore… but who really knows? It’s a nice and different place, definitely.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]There’s plenty of water here.
