[@Savo] [sub][@hatakekuro] [@BlackMaiden][/sub] Rodger nodded to Cyril’s statements, and then he was away, disappearing down the street along with the sound of his bike’s engine. Now, then. Cyril and Basil had his exchange, and then headed into the lab once again, noticing the situation, and… one thing led to another, and… Kalmia glanced at Cyril a bit, while Jacques was still looking on his phone… before Aster snapped the phone out of his hand. Jacques hadn’t actually made any motion to stop the action, but also didn’t seem even the slightest startled as he raised a curious eyebrow at Cyril, not paying any attention in the slightest at the little creature that had taken the phone. With that, Cyril went outside the door… and when they were outside, Jacques took out a Pokéball, and promptly released a purple, winged Pokémon that floated up into the air, silently.

It hangs upside down awaiting prey. When the chance presents itself, it swoops in and carries off the prey with its lengthy tail, and its elongated fangs do the rest. It’s able to fly completely soundless without flapping its wings, it’s said catching a single light breeze once could carry it around the globe.[/i][/color][/center] [color=EF284F]‘Make sure he doesn’t do anything too offensive with my phone,’[/color] Jacques said, gesturing at the door, and Gligar nodded before exceedingly soundlessly gliding for the door, and totally made it out the closed door somehow. Cyril never noticed. Stealthy Pokémon is stealthy. Regardless. Cyril wasn’t actually disturbed by anything until he came in again. He had his thing to Ryu, with Kalmia giving him an odd look, and Jacques looking mildly curious. Then, when Cyril handed the phone back… not a single second was wasted before the phone started ringing. [color=EF284F]‘I do believe I have to take this,’[/color] Jacques said, looking lightly amused as he answered the phone and, for now, walked out of the building as well, Gliscor flying down from seemingly nowhere and landing beside him when he got outside. I suddenly noticed Gliscor is 2 meters tall. I didn’t expect that. Yikes, big stealthy Pokémon. Regardless. Cyril is in Kalmia’s lab, 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.

I guess I might see you later, then!’[/color] Chloe said to Basil, at some point, maybe before he went outside, still, that’ll do. And so, Basil went through the city to the harbor, the air becoming considerably more festive and hectic as he did. After all, here’s where boats from all manner of regions arrived at Isson. There were workers everywhere, helping people and wares to get onto and off the piers, and there was this big marketplace where all sorts of things were for sale. [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mail]Mail[/url] to be sent to other countries, different kinds of [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Exchangeable_item]exchangeable items[/url] collected on distant shores, a wide variety of [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flute]flutes[/url] produced overseas, weird [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scent]scents from Orre[/url] that probably has no practical applications, [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nectar]nectar[/url] from Alola that ALSO doesn’t have any practical uses in Isson, [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mulch]mulch[/url], and also a weird amount of [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Decoration]decorations[/url], [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Accessory]accessories[/url], [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Prop]props[/url] and [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/D%C3%A9cor]décor[/url]. And, of course, [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_clothing_in_Generation_VI]clothing[/url] and [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fashion_item]fashion[/url]. There is also food, from all over the place, which may or may not be interesting to a Pokémon trainer. There were delicacies from elsewhere around the world. Like, Rage Candy Bar from Johto, Lava Cookie from Hoenn, Old Gateau from Sinnoh, Casteliacone from Unova or the Lumiose Galette and Shalour Sable from Kalos… Anyways, that will totally do. Not entirely that much that a new Pokémon Trainer might be interested in… There was something very odd docked at the harbor, however. If Basil wasn’t seeing visions, there appeared to be a positively ancient-looking yet very genuine [i]pirate ship[/i], crossbone flag hoisted in all honors, but also very peacefully docked here like something out of a completely different world. And, in front if it, stood a man arguing with a positively terrified-looking harbor-representative… [color=465c99]‘What do you mean, “you can’t do that”!? Don’t you realize what I’m doing!?’[/color] a man looking like an exquisitely stereotypical pirate captain said, with a hat, his right hand a hook, his left leg a pegleg, his hair black and cape red, and with what looked like a sword sheathed on his side. Behind said pirate captain stood two blonde girls, also in pirate-like outfits that might seriously threaten the PG nature of this roleplaying game (at least the right one), their arms crossed looking as unhappy as their captain. And behind them, stood a towering giant white polar bear of a Pokémon, also looking angry. Very angry.

They love the cold seas of the north. It creates pathways across the ocean waters by freezing their own breath, and swims around northern seas to catch prey. It creates fangs and claws of ice using its breath to fight with, and are very capable swimmers.[/i][/color][/center][/center][/hider] [color=gray]‘Sir Zachery, I’m telling you, this time you might [i]actually[/i] end up in trouble…!’[/color] the sort of scared representative he was talking to said. [color=465c99]‘What kind of trouble!?’[/color] Zachery demanded, his voice one who was used to his every command being followed. He threw out his hand, and declared. [color=465c99]‘The people of Isson have always been proud of the variety of the Pokémon found on their region, declaring that all Pokémon could be found here… but that is not so!’[/color] He threw out both of his hands(hand and hook) in a majestic display. [color=465c99]‘So I chose to be the savior of the people! I have returned from across the sea, where I collected specimen of [b][i]every single Pokémon that does not naturally inhabit Isson[/i][/b], ready to release all over the land! Isson would finally be the land where [i]any[/i] Pokémon can be found! And you’re telling me [i]I can’t!?[/i]’[/color] Behind him, the two girls gave their respective “hmpfs” of unsatisfaction, and the bear breathed out in frustration, looking ready to attack. [color=gray]‘I-I’m sorry, sir!’[/color] the person who looked inadequately prepared to handle someone with this big a personality sounded. [color=gray]‘But what you’re talking about is introducing non-native Pokémon to Isson! They’d be invasive species, and there’s no telling what would happen! I know you have a tendency not to follow the rules, being a pirate and all, but I implore you, PLEASE check with the Pokémon League, and consider the environment of Isson before you make hasty decisions…!’[/color] [color=465c99]‘Huff!’[/color] the pirate crossed his arms, looking utterly unhappy. [color=465c99]‘Then what am I supposed to do with my hull full of cross-regional Pokémon!?’[/color] he complained, tapping the ground in irritation with the toes on his not-pegleg foot, looking away from the harbor representative… … And that was, assuming Basil was [i]anywhere[/i] close right now, Zachery’s eyes suddenly zeroed in on him. And the scary pirate grinned. [color=465c99]‘YOU THERE!’[/color] Zachery called to Basil, pointing with his giant hook. The eyes of the girls, as well as the Beartic, also turned to look at him. [color=465c99]‘It’s your lucky day! Now tell me, what kind of Pokémon do you want!? Describe it to me!’[/color] Basil is, of course, free to turn tail and just run, or otherwise reject the suggested offer.
