[center][i][sub]Life on the bayou's filled with swamp and marsh, the friendliest folk you'll ever meet, and some hard living; despite the hurdles, people and pokemon persist, hospitable and resilient with a deep love for their home.

A huge swathe of tropical wetlands sprawl about magnificently towards the south of Makhasia. This complex ecosystem includes cypress swamps, estuarine mangrove forests,  tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and an overall standout marine environment. [i]Laguna Santo[/i] also exists here, otherwise known as Spirit Lake, the largest lake in all of Makhasia. With constant flooding and heavy rains making Carazza seem like a grassy, slow moving river, any non-aquatic pokemon and people can find it difficult to live here. As such, the population is low. Occasionally travelers and national park goers may see houses on stilts sprinkled throughout the area, but Carazza is a national park first and foremost. The urge to preserve raw nature runs deep within the bayou.

[center][i][sub]Houses on stilts, boardwalk paths; this town manages to delicately place itself over Carazza and remain a bustling, lively place for people.

Perched on sand flats that spread far, Bahari started as a small settlement of farmers that found sugar beets could do surprisingly well in the saline levels of soil. Overtime, the settlement grew and became a bustling port side town. The stilt houses are the same as the those in Carazza, and are exactly as their names describe them. Perhaps rural looking, their structural integrity is not to be underestimated and the multi-generational houses have held their own in Bahari for years. With everything (houses, shops, even the gym) in the area connected by boardwalks, 'having a stroll through the town' takes on a new context entirely. No cars are here; people usually use their pokemon as mounts, though not many can easily get through the boggy swamp save for flyers and some water types. Immense flocks of tourists, as well as trading their special sweet potato crops that only grow around the Carazza area, keep Bahari more than occupied and plentiful.

Though on the smaller, private, and less lived side than other places in Makhasia, the swamp dwellers are fiercely prideful of their homeland and long standing history. In fact, the majority of people who reside in the marshland are not new, and have had family members that lived before them for generations. Because of this, people from Bahari don't take too kindly to anyone even mildly criticizing their town. Some of them even know how to do curses, or so the rumor goes. Incredibly hospitable otherwise, even refusing food is considered an insult.

The bug type gym leader resides here. He's also a part-time chef in The Roux, a restaurant famous for it's uniquely flavorful and spicy cuisine.
