[@Pirouette] [color=2fbdb6]‘Come back and fight me again sometime! Bellawesome would be sad if she couldn’t fight you again!’[/color] Archie called after her as she left. She went down the significant amount of stairs, and came back out to Stillwood Village. [hider=Stillwood Village][center][h2]Stillwood Village[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/NDG5NfG.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y9bCCki.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Inside these calm forest lies a village completely in-tune with nature. The buildings are built around or in the trees of wood and stone, the light shining onto the village stifled by the great trees above. In the air, meeting your nose as soon as you tread into the village, is filled to the brim with the smell of forest and spores. It’s a wild smell, but somehow it is extremely relaxing and any worries seem to be stifled before the calming village ahead where everyone is always so calm and happy, wild Pokémon walking freely on the roads of the place. This is Stillwood Village, the most relaxing place imaginable, it’s people in touch with nature and wishing the best to all those who come to their cozy and ancient little home. Wild Grass Pokémon freely wander the streets, spreading their spores into the air which the townspeople actively walk through every single day. They are all smiles, very helpful, the entire village and all visitors afflicted by the relaxing sensations brought by the spores during their stay in Stillwood Village. However, these spores are the reason quite a few avoid Stillwood Village, arguing that it messes with one’s mind. It is extremely rare that a member of Stillwood Village moves out of the village, after all. It will also quickly become evident just how little the members of the village care about the world at large, all their worries gone by the relaxing spores and just continue living, no troubles in the slightest. That’s Stillwood Village for you. Budews, Roselias and Shroomish were above all the ones to blame for all the spores in the air, the relaxing smell and the effect that seemed to drain on a person’s worries entering the village. However, in the air drifted smaller beings. Hoppips floated along the winds in Stillwood Village, and high above Skiplooms floated to catch the light heading down, further decreasing the amount of sunlight that actually touched the villagers treading about the village. Also walking about were… Numerous Oddishes had apparently failed to understand that the relative dark was not due to night. That aside, the nice smell of the village was only occasionally interrupted by foul smell of a passing Gloom, but that problem seemed to only be bothering visitors as the villagers didn’t even seem to notice. Now she’s in Stillwood Village.[/hider] However, there was something going on in the village square. There appeared to be multiple Pokémon battles going on! And the combatants were people she recognized. [hider=Fight 1][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/6N9jlim.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/TbQ3Nbt.png[/img][/url] VS [url=http://i.imgur.com/AR2cOhz.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/G7uSu9D.png[/img][/url] [/center][/hider] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/53/054Psyduck.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/lCG9Yau.png[/img][/url] VS [url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/5b/498Tepig.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/lexkDcR.png[/img][/url][/center] [color=decdad]‘You… comprised your whole team with Fire-types?’[/color] Ewan asked, raising his eyebrow as his Psyduck shot another Water Gun after Tepig, who had to dodge aside with heavy breathing. [color=db845c]‘I-I was prepared to take on the Grass-type gym! Of course I would!’[/color] Maple defended herself. [color=decdad]‘You don’t think they’d have Lombres or something to cover the weakness?’[/color] Ewan asked. [color=db845c]‘I’d adapt, like I will now! Tepig, Tackle!’[/color] and so the battle continued. [hider=Fight 2][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/h6d9fcG.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/H8RAtFr.jpg[/img][/url] VS [url=http://i.imgur.com/Kkflh7x.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZOJgIpF.jpg[/img][/url][/center][/hider] [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/71/215Sneasel.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/YW11yVg.png[/img][/url] VS [url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6b/179Mareep.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/PBNSNSv.png[/img][/url][/center] [color=668570]‘Woo! You’re shaping up to becoming a pretty decent trainer!’[/color] Joshua complimented his opponent. [color=507173]‘… Less talking, more fighting…’[/color] Ellyn muttered with a frown. [color=507173]‘It’s too fast. Sheep, Thunder Wave!’[/color] [color=668570]‘Avoid it with Quick Attack!’[/color] Joshua commanded, and a bolt of lightning was then dodged, and that battle continued, too. So that was going on. Then, as she was on the way to the Pokémon Center, another boy she might recognize walked by. [hider=This boy][url=http://i.imgur.com/xbE4eVz.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/xbE4eVz.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] [color=9e8d77]‘Oh, you’re done with the Gym? My turn, then,’[/color] Rodger said with a smirk as he went past her towards the Grass-type Gym. All that aside, Erika could go to the Pokémon Center without issue. [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] When she was done, the battles were still going on outside. She could wait for them to end, or move on. What would she do?
