[@Typical] Approaching the seemingly random house in the middle of the route, Eryn found that there was a sign in front of it. A sign with a huge arrow pointing at the door. “Inviting Pokémon Trainers!”, it says. So, would she enter? It’s a regular one-room house. There’s a bed in the corner. A couple of shelves here and there with personal belongings and books. The floor is square plates of smooth mineral, heated from below. There are windows to the outside, and in the back is a large, white stone wall placed against the mountain. There’s a refrigerator and cooking area, with oven and all the things. A wooden table stands in the middle, with numerous chairs. Around the place, on window-shelves, in the book-shelves, and on the walls, there are framed photographs, all of the same man. A older man, bald on top of his head with a band of hair still clinging to the sides of his head, looking jolly and posing with a younger, extremely exhilarated kid. The place appears utterly normal… Except… [b][i]You’re being watched…[/i][/b] [hider=slight bit of a tip about where]… And to anyone who’s at ground-level who’s conducting a search/looking around, ergo, Eri or Kylie, it’s pretty decently obvious that someone’s back is extruding slightly from under the bed in the corner. He’s somehow attached himself to the bottom of the bed, hanging so that on a cursory glance from a human it might appear that the space under the bed is empty. Except, yeah, nope.[/hider] What will Eryn and co do? In case they just leave… [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. [i]With this command, we can jump ahead in time and skip posting about grinding.[/i] 3.

Area Specific: Random House. [i]Uh. There’s an excessively out-of-place red house in the middle of the route, the door standing wide-open. … Want to visit?[/i][/hider] [i]Connected areas: [/i] Lakewatch Town. [i]On the south-west of the route, Lakewatch Town lies adjacent to the lake on the road to the Wet Caverns.[/i] Stillwood Village. [i]In the north lies the forest which hides the village, Mt. Strength lying behind it..[/i] Route 6. [i]Vast plains start in the south-east, this route leads towards Raremine Town.[/i] Frozen Cavern. [i]After an incline up to the ridge of Mt. Chill, a cavern of ice could guide the way to Route 9 and Cooldome City.[/i] Endless Forest. [i]To the south, a dark forest looms. There are no indications as to why you’d ever want to go there.[/i] [hider=Route 5, known Pokémon]Common: #10 Caterpie #43 Oddish #163 Hoothoot (During night, rumored) #585 Deerling #664 Scatterbug Uncommon: #25 Pikachu #438 Bonsly #586 Sawsbuck #587 Emolga Rare: #172 Pichu [/hider] One of Eryn’s Pokémon pointed out the individual out, and Eryn ran over to ask if he was alright, but as soon as the first syllable in his direction was uttered... [color=b36c46]‘Argh!’[/color] the bed shouted out and the whole thing rocked to. He aimed an accusing voice at her, but it wasn’t hostile. [color=b36c46]‘You noticed me hiding under the bed!? Grrh… You’re sharper than you look!’[/color] With that, suddenly the whole bed launched upwards, tied to an axis it rotated and placed itself against the wall, revealing the bottom of it to appear as a perfectly normal book-shelf, complete with books! There was also rows after rows of empty water bottles and empty cans… and a young man attached to the book-shelf by some sort of rope! A brown-haired young man with red-rimmed glasses looked at Eryn with a confident smirk as the ropes loosened and he fell down to his feet before her. It was an older version of the exhilarated kid in the framed photographs. [color=b36c46]‘Ta-ha, did I surprise you? I am the mighty Trial Master!’[/color] He announced, proudly adjusting his clothing and glasses after the sudden movement. [hider=Trial Master][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/UywbMnN.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/jfyTPfC.jpg[/img][/url][/center][/hider] [color=b36c46]‘You heard that right! I’m the one and only Trial Master! The grandson of the famous Trick Master of Hoenn! … [sub]That nobody on Isson has ever heard of, but that aside![/sub]’[/color] … He shook his head a bit, then took several steps to stand in front of the rock wall of the back the room, and from there he spun to point at Eryn. [color=b36c46]‘POKÉMON TRAINER! You’ve come here to accept my trial, have you not!? Rejoice, then, for my trials accept YOU! ’[/color] [color=b36c46]‘Your task is simple! Use your Pokémon to reach the end of my trial, and claim the reward I hold! This will be unlike any trainer battle, for this is a challenging TRIAL! Seek to overcome it only if you’re confident in your abilities! My only rules is no teleportation or digging around the trial, you need to actually get through the room! So, I’ll see you on the other side, if you win! Tahahaha…!’[/color] And then he pulled an Escape Rope out of nowhere, and it pulled him through nowhere and he was suddenly gone. Behind him… the white stone wall behind him swung open, because it was apparently a huge double-door, showing the dark entrance into a very finely carved-out cavern, inviting inwards, and it was very dark. In the distance, inside the cave… was complete silence. The challenge had been made. What would be Eryn’s reaction?
