[@Typical] So, after a bunch of shenanigans getting back to Lakewatch Town, Eryn went to the Pokémon Center… [hider=nurse][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. Would you like to rest your Pokémon?’[/color] Assumingly, yes. [color=f59a95]‘Okay. I’ll take your Pokémon for a few seconds, then.’[/color] She’d then accept the Pokéballs and put them into the machine, and… [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZugkxi_b8o][center][i]Di, di, di-do-da![/i][/center][/url] [color=f59a95]‘Thank you for waiting. We’ve restored your Pokémon to full health.’[/color] She says as she hands the Pokéballs back. She then bows to her customer and gives a friendly smile. [color=f59a95]‘We hope to see you again!’[/color][/hider] And then nothing relevant happened until the next morning! So, said next morning… Travelling through the streets of Lakewatch Town once again, Eryn passed the rivers and the townspeople, a whole lot more shopkeepers and other such things, until finally she arrived at the place that she’d been hearing about. Descent Tower. Visually, it was but a tall building like any other in Lakewatch Town, the top looking like a huge water tower and the inside revealing a building flooded with water. Stairs led up, but also down, into the water and further down where no person unable to live underwater could explore. Which meant Eryn was in luck, because… [color=98cfe3]‘Quaaaaaagsire!’[/color] a big blue creature saluted to her with an extremely dim-looking expression. [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a4/195Quagsire.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/TueBLON.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #195 – Quagsire, the Water Fish Pokémon. A very easy-going Pokémon, they swim about and don’t even mind if they bump their heads into things. When hunting, it simply opens its mouth and moves no muscles, waiting for prey to blunder in. When not moving, it expands very little energy and does not need food for a long time.[/i][/color][/center] And, as she had called for, the Ruin Maniac Wilhelm came walking with a backpack filled with stuff. [url=https://i.imgur.com/dTV2REU.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/dTV2REU.png[/img][/url] [color=d6d6b8]‘Oho! You’ve recruited a Quagsire? I suppose that does change things!’[/color] he told, facing towards the building. [color=d6d6b8]‘You have my thanks, young Eryn! Now, shall we take a look and see what we can find?’[/color] With that, and with whatever other delays Eryn or her team could come up with, it would eventually be time to go. Turns out that backpack of Wilhelm’s is decently useful and he’ll supplement anything Eryn feels like she’s missing for an underwater venture. Still, time to change how Dive works. The two assumingly grabbed onto Quagsire, who then just smiled so very widely before enveloping itself in a bubble before diving down into water! It was a special little bubble in which Eryn could safely inhabit the watery depths, because convenience. Regardless, the trainers and the wild Pokémon floated down the rather long yet unremarkable tower, before arriving in what lay below. A whole new city, just below their feet. [hider=Diving down to][center][h2]Flooded Lakewatch[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/yKpOE5L.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/yKpOE5Ll.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Beneath Lakewatch Town lies a completely different world, one which was clearly constructed to stay. Monuments and pillars showing off the architectural skill of worlds past lie spread around the rocky buildings that to this day serve as the foundation of modern day Lakewatch Town. Countless little buildings stacked on top of one another with little openings for doors, their layout seemingly random creating what could best be described as an underwater labyrinth of buildings that cannot quite be described as ruins, on account that they are far too intact to be described by that moniker. Across the underwater floor countless little forgotten trinkets lie scattered, and in the middle of it all stands a mighty temple of some form… who even knows what it really is? However, the underwater city is not abandoned, not by a long shot. In fact, right about here floated by a huge, green piece of- [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a4/186Politoed.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/EpgKPdq.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #186 – Politoed, the Frog Pokémon. It often gathers groups of other Pokémon and act like their leader. Their echoing cries are known to have Poliwag and Poliwhirl gathering from far and wide, supplying their troops. When three or more gather, they sing in a loud chorus that’s more like bellowing. The longer and curlier “hair” strand, the more status it has as a Politoed.[/i][/color][/center] … Which was promptly followed by a whole little legion of Poliwag and a couple Poliwhirls. [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/49/060Poliwag.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Bm3aiFs.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #60 – Poliwag, the Tadpole Pokémon. It walks on two small newly grown legs, but it is much faster swimming than walking. Its damp skin is so thin, one can see its spiralling innards through the stomach, but the skin is so flexible that most fangs cannot break through it.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a9/061Poliwhirl.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/Mu2HmGY.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #61 – Poliwhirl, the Tadpole Pokémon. Its legs are well developed and it can live both on land and water, but it prefers water. On land, it sweats to stay moist and slippery if attacked. The spiral pattern on its belly subtly undulates, which causes those watching it to fall asleep.[/i][/color][/center] And over there, floated a huge, blue and and black monster of a- [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/35/537Seismitoad.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/swtJsK0.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #537 – Seismitoad, the Vibration Pokémon. It’s capable of vibrating the bumps all over its body, channeling the energy into powerful punches or quakes. It’s able to shoot a paralyzing liquid from the head-bumps as well. They’re decently popular with the elderly, who use the vibrations for massages.[/i][/color][/center] … Just… drifting by… was a Seismitoad on its way to who knows where. And over there, partly buried in the dirt on the floor of the underwater town… [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/60/340Whiscash.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/m0J2m2n.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #340 – Whiscash, the Whiskers Pokémon. Despite its looks, it’s an extremely territorial Pokémon that will trash about with enough force to trigger earthquakes if a foe approaches it. It claims the bottom of ponds or swamps for itself, and then eats anything that moves around there. It can tell when earthquakes will happen, which people have made use of.[/i][/color][/center] Given that the whole underwater town still stands, it’s likely this one hasn’t earthquaked a lot. Still, Lakewatch Town is right above… So, yes. If Eryn didn’t get the memo yet, [i]this is a high-level area[/i]. Nothing has picked a fight with her yet, but it probably is also in her best interest to not pick one herself. [color=d6d6b8]‘Now, this is fascinating…’[/color] Wilhelm said in the Dive-bubble by their escort Quagsire, looking around at the older buildings underwater. Meanwhile, Eryn… had this odd feeling that she knew where to go. That is, if she wanted to, there was a place down here that was… sort of calling to her? She’d know how to maneuver this little underwater labyrinth to get there… wherever that is. A strange feeling, most definitely. Now what? [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Search the area. [i]Maybe find a Pokémon that isn’t immediately obvious, look for items or inspect the place for interesting things?[/i] 2. Train Pokémon. [i]Just be aware that most things here can probably eat you alive.[/i] 3. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i] 4. Trigger random event. [i]Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.[/i] 5. Area Specific: Go Deeper. [i]There’s something calling in the depths of Flooded Lakewatch.
