[@Gardevoiran] [color=F0B088]‘Mmmmm, nah,’[/color] Brendon sounded. [color=F0B088]‘Fossils are actually sorta common here, and we’re talking the rare stones here. I’d have agreed if it was just a Fire or Leaf Stone, but this is the Dusk and Shiny Stones here. So one fossil for one stone. Deal?’[/color] Back to present. [color=9A897A]‘Darn straight!’[/color] the scientist agreed with Skylar’s words that he was not going to act like it was a burden, his smile back, as he went off to do other things. Dunstan did not stop Skylar on the way out, Dunstan wasn’t aware that Skylar was even here, as such couldn’t do something like that. Moving on! Skylar had a meal, and then went back to the mines. Business was slowing down, and he was warned that at a certain time the guests would be recommended to leave and the lights would be turned off, but he could do things until then. Focused on training the lower-leveled Pokémon in the mines. The others got some experience, but this’ll about do. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Seabreeze grew to level 17! Jonathan grew to level 16!

His fuzzy body that he obtained not long ago broke open, revealing long, beautiful wings, two antennas arose from the top of his head, and in general he looked much more complete.

Jeebs evolved into Vivillon![/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #666 – Vivillon, the Scale Pokémon. Known to appear all over the world, the pattern on the wings differ depending on the climate of their habitat. They’re extremely skilled at finding water, so if you release one in a desolate environment it can be followed to find your way to a spring. In the deserts of Isson, they’re the primary means of finding the Mythic Oasis.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]New Pokémon evolved! Skylar earned 2000 P![/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Jeebs learned Struggle Bug![/i][/color][/center][/hider] Aside from that. Skylar dug some more, and while his time didn’t yield as many findings as last time, he still found something. Another rock, and some sort of claw that must have loosened from an ancient Pokémon, perhaps? [center][color=6ecff6][i]Skylar obtained Hard Stone! Skylar obtained Razor Claw![/i][/color][/center] There. What will Skylar do now? [hider=Desert Mines][center][h3]Desert Mines[/h3][/center] [center][url=https://i.imgur.com/P7ryh68.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/P7ryh68l.jpg[/img][/url][/center] The Desert Mines is what the town of Raremine was created for. Outside the entrance exists a small gathering of tents and buildings to supply the people passing through, where different people gather to potentially purchase the findings of the mines. There are different mines for the various metals that are used throughout Isson for construction, but the place people think of when heading to the Desert Mines is the one specific where trainers are allowed to pick up their own pickaxes and head down to dig! The miners tend to use their Pokémon to help with the digging, and a lot of the Pokémon they use are native to the cave itself, so for some help just catch one and go at it! There are maps showing where you’re more likely to find different things, be they stones, fossils or remnants of ancient civilizations. The mines themselves are well-lit, with lamps in the ceiling letting people wander free. The Pokémon here are very used to humans walking about and are constantly maintaining the structural integrity of the tunnels, making it a very safe working environment, despite being a mine. But, deep in the mines is a place where people stop going, lamps no longer light the place up, a place where Pokémon are allowed to live free.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Basil obtained Mirror Sketch![/i][/color][/center] After nothing of note happened, Basil then advanced into the shrine, discovered the secret exit out the back, he inspected the mirror. Poking it revealed it to be a physical object, and picking it up revealed it to not be trapped. Having come this far, Basil decided to take the mirror with him out the back, exiting towards Northern Silent Forest… [color=e04f4f]‘Hold it,’[/color] called a voice from above and behind him. A small blue frog dropped down in front of him, looking all stylish and threatening(?) as it landed. On his left, a mostly yellow/redish humanoid-beast-like Pokémon landed with a martial-arts stance, and on his right a big-headed blue/grey also humanoid little thing drifted down more slowly than the others with no visible means of flight, its limbs in a resting pose. Behind him, now, dropped an actual human, who quickly dropped down into a martial-art stance of some sort. She had red hair and an exotic outfit with reddish pants, a dark shirt with her elbows revealed, and a long blue scarf that was currently lifted to cover her mouth, unlike in the following image of her.

It secretes flexible and delicate bubbles from its chest and back which absorb damage that would otherwise damage it. While it is known for a happy-go-lucky attitude, it has astute awareness of its surroundings.[/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #307 – Meditite, the Meditate Pokémon. It is found deep in mountains, meditating for hours on end and surviving on a berry a day. It trains its spirit, and by heightening its inner strength it somehow achieved levitation.

While not very strong, it’s very fast and has mastered the art of elegant combos using claws to increase damage. As it concentrates, it grows in speed and efficiency. They have a tendency to start acting like their trainer’s personal body-guards.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] [color=e04f4f]‘What’s your business with the mirror?’[/color] she asked, all her Pokémon looking ready for battle… and so did she, for whatever reason.
