If Anton had actually noticed the Old Amber, he’d have been interested. It was, however, a grunt that unearthed that particular pocket, who didn’t know what it was, and the fact this girl had stumbled out at the same time as that part of the wall crumbled was rather distracting.

The girl looked at Skylar’s reaction finding the Old Amber with curiosity, though then quickly returned to speaking. [color=b2dbb2]‘I’m Florrie, assistant of Professor Dunstan at the Raremine Research Lab…’[/color] … and her eyes widened as Skylar took out his cane. [color=b2dbb2]‘Oh, god. You’re actually… I did wonder, but those glasses are actually because you…’[/color] she swallowed a bit, and then was quick to walk to Skylar’s side. 

[color=b2dbb2]‘Let me help you back to town. It’s the least I can do. There’s… there’s nothing to find down here, anyway,’[/color] she said, with a slight bit of regret in her tone, in a way that definitely sounded like she knew this for a fact.

In any case, she could take Skylar back to Raremine Town, if he wished! Would assume so, since he has no Pokémon currently. She’d lead him to the door of the Pokémon Center. After which…

[color=b2dbb2]‘I should go back to the lab. You… seem dependable. You saved me, so. If you’d like to… uh, if you’d like to help us with a thing, the reason I was in that cave and what they were likely looking for, you could come to Dunstan’s office at some point.’[/color] Triggered by just going there at any time. [color=b2dbb2]‘You don’t have to, of course, if so, good luck on your journey!’[/color] Florrie said, before running off. Note, this is just the opening for that particular side quest that Dawkin’s already on, but Eklispe hasn’t posted in a while, so, eh. Not sure. Oh, well. Thought I’d leave it open for all players anyway.

[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…

[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]

So, what will Skylar do now?

He can prevent Florrie from leaving if he feels like, or head on. It’s probably late right now.

Raremine Town is a moderately large, bright town on the edge of the only desert in Isson. 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.

Overall, it’s busy, with people walking and talking all over, an active town indeed.[/hider]

The Lass showed them the way through the campus towards the offices of the professors, up to a door clearly labeled with Paulie’s name, and then departed for her own business. Inside the door, after knocking a bit the voice of an older gentleman called out [color=C3C1AA]‘Come in!’[/color] they were free to enter.

Paulie is, without question nor doubt, a Ruin Maniac, and there’s no reason to give him any other appearance or trainer class.

He was currently on his knees with a fully packed bag checking on the lowest level of his shelf with a magnifying glass. 

[color=C3C1AA]‘I swear, I put it somewhere here…’[/color] he muttered for himself before shrugging and standing up, stretching his back a little. [color=C3C1AA]‘Eh, it can wait. Hello!’[/color] He said, turning towards Basil with a friendly smile. [color=C3C1AA]‘What can I help you with?’[/color]

Passing over the rock bridge to enter, you’ll find Rainrock City to be a lot of exactly what’s in the name. Rain and rock. At the base of Mt. Strength, the city is on the top of a steep cliff, and has grown right where two rivers flow down from Mt. Strength to meet. A lake has grown in the center of the city, and the city has grown around it. The architecture of the buildings takes influence from an older time, as on these rocky cliffs larger buildings are difficult to construct, the streets made of cobblestone rather than asphalt. Given the near constant rain, it’s a largely silent mountain city where a lot of older people live, listening to the falling rain and taking it easy. You’re unlikely to find the town square bustling with attention.

Behind the town lies ancient caves, thought to have been inhabited in ancient times. By Pokémon, by men, who knows, the writing on the walls remain untranslatable to this day. It is perhaps due to these caverns, as well as a general concentration of old and wise people, that caused Rainrock City to house both the Rainrock Library as well as the Rainrock Academy. If Pureplain City house the schools for young children to learn, Rainrock City is where they finish their studies at the Academy, studying old texts under the calming noise of the rain. Rainrock Academy also happens to house the Pokémon Gym, due to Gym Leader being an esteemed professor.

Also notable, around Rainrock and on the streets there are Geodudes in town despite the rain, just lying about. Oh, and small crab-like bugs that make home in the rocks around here.[/hider]
