[@Zarkun] Well, Jason found a Golett and decided to fight this particular one. It used Astonish, but spamming Double Team essentially made it borderline impossible for the poor thing to hit the bloody Ralts. Overtime its HP was chipped away by the Ralts Disarming Voice until it was in catching range. Seeing his chance, Jason tossed a Pokeball at the Golett and it was absorbed in a stream of white, digital light! It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!

Since he is resting at the site, he gets a free heal for his team. Jason was probably sitting around a fire that he made, doing whatever he does. It was quiet, save for the occasional passing vehicle on the main road. The night was beautiful. One would have expected there to be large amount of light pollution due the close proximity of Grand Glory City and Route 4, but every star was out on a brilliant display. Then silence was shattered by a sudden loud splash... and then another. If Jason was to follow the sound, he would obviously have found himself approaching the river. What he would see there would be the big jaw Pokemon splashing around in the water happily. It does not seem to have noticed you just yet. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/fFmTstG.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #158-Totodile the Big Jaw Pokemon. Despite the smallness of its body, Totodile's jaws are very powerful. While the Pokémon may think it is just playfully nipping, its bite has enough power to cause serious injury.[/center][/i][/color] However, you weren't alone. [b]"Get me a Totodile she says, it's so cute she says. God, does she think these things are easy to track down?"[/b] A man wearing an all-black suit, including a black balaclava obscuring his face. He was holding a cylindrical object. [color=6ecff6]"Toto?"[/color] It looked up at the man approaching, who was now aiming that object at it. The device shot out a net and caught the poor Totodile. It flailed and cried out desperately for not even its fangs seemed to be able to cut through. What will Jason do? Will he rescue the Totodile or let it be poached? [hr] [@samreaper] The Riolu began to chat with the shiny Murkrow, very intrigued with its unique coloring compared to the other Murkrows that it had seen before. Well, at least it looked like he finally calmed down. [color=00aeef]"Yes, I did. This ability makes them quite valuable... and a target. They were almost extinct in the wild in the Evig region due to Cipher's excessive poaching, but thanks to the efforts of breeders, rangers, and scientists we are beginning to see a resurgence in their population."[/color] Tristan should have been aware of the devastation that this region had been through thanks to that evil team even if he was not from the region. Evig was on the verge of collapse and so many wild Pokemon were on the brink of extinction. It was a national disaster of unprecedented proportions. Even the city itself was a testament of the efforts of the inhabitants of the region to move forward and recover. She smiled at the boy's awkward thankfulness. [color=00aeef]"If you wish to thank me, please call me Astrid. I am one of the teachers at this school."[/color] Was this him trying to be nice? They've only just met, and he was already telling her how to take care of her hair and what glasses to wear. Well, it was better to just silently take the advice and let the kid be on his way than let him get under her skin. [color=0072bc]"Lou!"[/color] the Riolu called out to get Tristan's attention. [color=00aeef]"Oh my, I think the Riolu wants to battle you."[/color] [color=0072bc]"Lou!"[/color] It nodded in confirmation. What will Tristan do? [hr] [@Sanguine Rose] And the adventures of Faye and Sage have officially begun! They decided to start in Grand Glory City and take pictures of the landmarks around the city. The streets were bustling with people going on about their daily lives, the construction of buildings, and various stores and other businesses serving a wide cliental. Besides that, there were also wild Pokemon around the city. There were two different kinds of bird Pokemon in competition for a sandwich that had fallen on the ground. It proved to be a tense stare down. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/w4bI0WW.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #016- Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. They are docile Pokémon that avoid fighting, kicking up sand in an enemy’s face or using Whirlwind to avoid battles. They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs. [/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/eGE2pGC.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #519-Pidove, the Tiny Pidgeon Pokemon. Where people go, these Pokémon follow. If you're scattering food for them, be careful— several hundred of them can gather at once. It's forgetful and not very bright, but many Trainers love it anyway for its friendliness and sincerity. [/center][/i][/color] Besides the birds, there were also some felines just lazing about that took advantage of the food offerings that humans gave them and otherwise would just be looting. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/saW2hoR.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #052 – Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. During the night Meowth are known to sneak around stealthily in search of prey and shiny objects which it adores with a passion. During the day, Meowth is known to laze around all day. In the dark, its eyes glow. [/center][/i][/color] Then there were scurrying rat Pokemon that seemed to be the prey of the Meowth when they felt like hunting. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8tVj8aL.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #019 – Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. This Pokémon is common but hazardous. Its sharp incisors can easily cut right through hard wood. Its incisors grow continuously throughout its life. If its incisors get too long, this Pokémon becomes unable to eat, and it starves to death. [/center][/i][/color] At some point, she found herself in the city square. Cafes, high-end restaurants, and various stores were all nestled around this space where a fountain was placed dead center. The fountain had statues of the Galarian Legendary Pokemon, Zacian and Zamazenta though because they are statues the Pokedex won't display an entry. [color=fff200]"Yip yip!"[/color] Faye should have heard that behind her, down around her feet. When she looked down, she would see a very cute looking dog Pokemon hopping around her with its eyes very much glued on the camera. Electricity crackled around its feet every time it hopped around her feet. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/wA5gbLl.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #835 – Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. It only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity. [/center][/i][/color] It doesn't seem to belong to anyone. What does Faye do? [hider=Grand Glory City] [img]https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1ipUVazDuK1RjSszdq6xGLpXaq/Anime-City-skyline-bollywood-street-car-photo-studio-background-High-quality-Computer-print-party-backdrop.jpg_Q90.jpg_.webp[/img] Grand Glory City is located in the north-east of the Evig region and is the third largest city in all of the region with a quickly rising population. As well as being the largest, it is also one the newest as well and there almost always seems to be something new under construction though it is done so at swift rate due to the efforts of humans and Pokemon working together. The city, if the name did not give it away, represents the victory of the Evig over Cipher and the progress to move away from the dark past of the region as well as house many refuges whose homes were lost during the ordeal. It is the City of New Beginnings. Despite being a newer city, there is much to offer. It has the first newly established Trainer's School in the region, and it has a small park where trainers can catch Pokemon. There were others before, but they were destroyed by Cipher. The Grand Glory Port has a marketplace with goods from all over the world and ferries. There are many stadiums where tournaments are held, but it is far too early for you guys. Of course, there is the League Administration's headquarters is located here and contains the lab of the young Pokemon Professor Kapoc. [/hider] [hider=Suggested Actions] 1.
