[@samreaper] People were not exactly oblivious to some teenager who was on the cusp of having a panic attack. Some were trying to get his attention and ask if he was okay, but the boy was so beside himself that he did not even notice them. So, they instead informed the most responsible person there -that being the teacher, Astrid, the brown-haired lady with glasses- that there was some poor kid having a freak out. Of course, she had another teacher cover for her a moment and rushed to Tristan. [color=00aeef]"Hey kid, are you okay?"[/color] asked Astrid though she received no response. He seemed way too deep in whatever he was going through right now, so deep that he didn't notice a particular blue baby Pokemon huddled up next to him in an attempt to comfort the teen. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/jdaaoea.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #447-Riolu the Emanation Pokemon. It's exceedingly energetic, with enough stamina to keep running all through the night. Taking it for walks can be a challenging experience. It can use waves called auras to gauge how others are feeling. These same waves can also tell this Pokémon about the state of the environment.[/center][/i][/color] Astrid smiled at the baby Pokemon. [color=00aeef]"Be a good Riolu and keep him company for me. You too, Murkrow."[/color] She was also acknowledging that the poor bird was probably doing its best for its trainer. She couldn't watch over him forever and eventually had to go back to supervising the kids though she made sure to keep herself just close enough to keep a visual on Tristan. Thankfully he was back to himself fifteen-minutes later and he was... not exactly the nicest kid she had the pleasure of ever having to meet. [color=00aeef][i]Gaudy?[/i][/color] She thought to herself. [color=00aeef]"You mean that thing hugging your leg?"[/color] Astrid said, pointing down to the same Riolu that was cuddled up next to him. [color=00aeef]"Riolu are special little Pokemon; they can sense emotions through what we call aura. It probably sensed how distressed you were and came over to comfort you. Well, still trying to."[/color] She giggled. [hr] [@Zarkun] Wait, this dude had a Ralts? Those things were part Fairy-Type, right? Well shit. [color=f26522]"Well it doesn't matter! As long it's frail we can win!"[/color] declared the cowboy... and the Ralts used Double Team and Growl. His Scraggy's attack dropped by one stage, and it wasn't long before Jason had ordered his Ralts to use Disarming Voice. Now, Disarming Voice was a move that was impossible to avoid like Shock Wave and Arial Ace. No matter Connor could've done, there was no way of ordering Scraggy to avoid the sound waves. The poor thing cried out in pain as it was not only super-effective, but it was also quad-super-effective due to its typing. [color=f26522]"We only have one chance! Use Payback!"[/color] There it was! A powered-up Payback that would one shot the Ralts if it were to land. It rushed at one of the images of Ralts and with a glowing strike of its fist it... went through and the clone of Slayer vanished. [color=fff200]Scrag?[/color] It looked back at its trainer with an expression that said, 'Why have you forsaken me?' Connor stood there with a blank expression on his face, knowing of what's to come. [color=f26522]"I have made a terrible decision."[/color] One more Disarming Voice later, Scraggy was knocked out and then returned to its Pokeball. [color=6ecff6][i][center]Ralts grew to level 6! Slayer learned Confusion[/center][/i][/color] [color=f26522]"Ah damn, I didn't expect to get thrashed like that. Looks like I gotta catch me some Pokemon to counter Fairies."[/color] He sighed, but then cracked a wide-smile. [color=f26522]"Well congrats on winning Jason. Now I was gonna keep the info to myself, but I'm sure you can find some use for it. Now it's just a rumor, but apparently at night people are claiming to see some Pokemon with a big jaw swimming about in the rivers. People keep trying to catch it, but it's very illusive. Well, use that info however you like. I gotta head back to the city."[/color] And just like that, Connor was off. What will you do now? [hider=Route 4] [h1][center]Route 4[/center][/h1] [img]https://ragezone.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/11.jpg[/img] (It's actually a sunny day. Ignore the heavy mist and grey clouds.) Route 4 is a long, hilly, rocky, grassy area with numerous flowing rivers stemming from Lake Charity. It is not nearly as a well-traveled road like Route 1, but it is still a main road from Grand Glory City to Starbor Village. Due to the terrain, there are not many people who live on this route. Just a long route of rocks, hills, and rivers, but it does attract certain kinds of Pokemon. However, it is one of the many popular fishing spots found around Evig and it is filled with many fishermen looking for their next catch. There's even a shop that sells fishing rods and bait. From here, one could see the towering mass of trees that make up Starbor Forest and the skyline of Grand Glory City. There is a road for vehicles to travel, but for on-foot travelers they would have to settle for a rocky dirt walkway. However, travelers who are going by foot are rewarded with being near some mysterious ruins; massive walls of stone carved with strange symbols. What do they say? Heck if anyone knows.
