[@Typical] So, after a bit of time, a familiar individual walks towards Descent Tower, stops, and just looks over the gathered Pokémon. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/qmdWZ7U.png[/img][/center] The swimmer crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow and looked questioningly at the four Pokémon. Then, she raised a hand and pointed at Peri. [color=f7a1a1]‘That… is that girl’s newborn Onix, right? … What’s she up to, leaving her Pokémon here instead of bringing them in Pokéballs…?’[/color] Lin asked, staring at the gathered four Pokémon. Now, of course, Erebi could recognize her, but Lin couldn’t recognize him, because she didn’t know his current form. Oh, and eventually, [i]probably[/i], [sub][sub]can yet decide not to come[/sub][/sub], there’s going to come a [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/416660156986818573/474399342166540290/Skylar.png]blind guy[/url] and with a [url=https://i.imgur.com/ZOa4kVb.png]bespectacled girl[/url] following from over there. Speaking of, Dei would recognize them, wouldn’t he? How will the crew react? [sub]Maybe wait for Skylar’s post first. Maybe.[/sub] __________________________ [@Gardevoiran] Vivia will currently be tagging along, because, Skylar had suggested an adventure and she was not about to miss out. The girl gave Skylar an odd look and a slightly raised eyebrow as he looked that closely onto the list of services, and then finally looked down on the money offered. She sighed a bit, sinking back into her chair and looking disappointed, as she pressed a couple buttons on her phone and then brought it to her ear. [color=f0b4a3]‘Elana here. There’s some kids here that want to go down Descent Tower, and they can pay for a guide,’[/color] she said, listening to whoever was on the other side. [color=f0b4a3]‘I’d honestly have loved to, but underwater is [i]not[/i] my expertise…’[/color] she replied to whoever was on the other side. Another pause, and Elana gave a smirk as she looked over Skylar before looking away again. [color=f0b4a3]‘Nah, given the kids this time, I think it won’t entirely matter how you’re dressed…’[/color] A pause later. [color=f0b4a3]‘Thanks, Lin. You’re a lifesaver. I’ll see you paid later. Bye,’[/color] she said, and closed the call, before leaning forward and collecting the money. [color=f0b4a3]‘Lin will meet you in front of Descent Tower. That should work with you, right?’[/color] she asked, before sighing a bit. [color=f0b4a3]‘Come again if you ever want to explore some mountains… we might have increased our prices then, though…’[/color] Elana commented, but otherwise shrugged, go on, out of here. Eventually arriving to Descent Tower eventually? Now, Skylar can totally ignore the appointment, but in case he doesn’t. [hider=At 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. Except, well, before Skylar came that far, there was a woman perpetually in a swimsuit standing outside, her hands on her hips as she was staring at a group of four unattended Pokémon. Two being rather small, a Charmander and a Mawile, then a somewhat taller Nuzleaf, and finally a frickin’ giant rock-snake that was just hanging about next to the tower. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/qmdWZ7U.png[/img][/center] This girl, staring at these Pokémon. [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/73/004Charmander.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/KWToH7G.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #4 – Charmander, the Lizard Pokémon. A fire burns at the end of its tail from its birth, and the strength of the fire indicates its health and current emotional state. This fire cannot be put out, as it burns by fuel from within. It prefers living in very warm conditions. Caution is advised near newly born Charmanders, as they’re not careful with their fire yet.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c0/303Mawile.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/HCsRxvP.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #303 – Mawile, the Deceiver Pokémon. Attached to its head is a huge set of jaws formed by horns powerful enough to chew through steel. It’s a dangerous Pokémon which fools those who look at it with a docile and fail appearance, before spinning around and chomping those who’d dare approach it.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/07/274Nuzleaf.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/yUY8o4I.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #274 – Nuzleaf, the Wily Pokémon. It lives in densely overgrown forests, where it bores holes in large trees to live in. It pulls a lead from its head and makes a flute with. The flute, sometimes heard by forest-land travelers, have special powers that strike fear and uncertainty into people’s hearts. It dislikes having its long nose pinched.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9a/095Onix.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/dTZScD6.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #95 – Onix, the Rock Snake Pokémon. It lives deep underground, and it burrows through earth at a staggering 80 km/h in search of food, and it grows harder as it collects material while digging. A magnet in its brain keeps track of which direction it is travelling. The tunnels it creates behind it as it burrows are often used as homes for other Pokémon.[/i][/color][/center] … Now, hadn’t Skylar se-/ been around this Charmander once before, perhaps? What will Skylar do here?[/hider] [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] So, what will they do here? [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]There’s plenty of water here.

What? Aren’t those pretty regular-’[/color] Chloe started, looking in surprise at Cyril, then she got it, and made a sound of bottled up amusement and just did a smiling shrug. [color=fff79e]‘Eh, I was curious!’[/color] Basil gave his reply, and Chloe just smiled happily and nodded. [color=fff79e]‘Just going off and see what you find, eh? I like it! Who knows what we’ll actually encounter out there, after all!’[/color] she nodded. Basil mentioned that about busking… [color=fff79e]‘Aaah, don’t know if that’s something I could do, I don’t know if I actually have anything to show off. That said, I don’t need to! I’ll be paid catching Pokémon! I have, in fact, been imagining by future team! For example, I would like to have a Growlithe! A cute and loyal little fire-dog by my side, and Arcanine looks so majestic and soft, too, and…’[/color] [color=EF284F]‘There are Growlithes on Route 1,’[/color] Jacques shared, smirking a bit by the side. [color=fff79e]‘Eh? Seriously?’[/color] Chloe looked totally stunned. [color=fff79e]‘What am I still doing here!?’[/color] She asked very seriously, looking excitedly like she was about to leave. Speaking of leaving, Basil mentioned that Rodger was just about leaving, and that was punctuated [i]perfectly[/i] by the sounds of the engine on Rodger’s bike roaring alive. He hasn’t left yet, but he just started the engine, so if Cyril doesn’t want him to leave yet he’s going to have to get out there ASAP! Kalmia’s looking on the scene with interested amusement. Jacques is doing the same, but with his little trademark smirk. What now? Currently in Pureplain City. [hider=Pureplain City][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/90QlLSx.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/V8jzaJE.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Pureplain City is placed on the south-west brink of Isson, with the town facing the water and spreading quite far. The further in-town you go, the higher the buildings become, but the suburbs spread quite far. In terms of sheer landmass, it might even compete with Worldedge City, although maybe not in height. Life passes normally within this city. Children grow up alongside their parents in houses in the long, friendly streets. Jobs come from the depths of the town in the taller buildings. Schools grow from the reasonably high amount of children in need of tuition. And of course, there are lots of Pokémon. In Pureplain City, human and Pokémon work together. Be it for manual labour or just for company, Pureplain houses often contain at least one household Pokémon and there are many Trainer's Schools around the city have always been plentifully attended, not counting the recent drop of embarking trainers due to the Team Wars. In addition, Pureplain Harbor is known as the “Gateway of Isson”, as that’s where all the ferries from outside the region dock, giving life to quite the marketplace. A common attraction of the city is the Super Contest stage, but other than that, Pureplain remains what it has always been. Pure and plain.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon.

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.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Raremine Town]1.
