[@Zarkun] At the cable cart stop, he would see this yellow and red cart slowly come down and halt to a stop. Its doors slid open, and people flooded in and out of the cart. The interior looked very much of that like a bus; it had seats where there were probably not enough seats and some poles that people could hold onto. It would stop every now and again to let people off and in from the different districts and give him a peek of what the other districts were like. One looked a bazaar filled with stalls and other storefronts with people all about looking for deals and another district looked like it had academic buildings and various cafes where scholarly people were hanging about. These were not a quick means of transportation; the cart was slow, which was not helped by the many stops that it made. Occasionally at the higher levels, there would be a gust of wind that would jostle the cart. Eventually, the cart would stop one more time and the electronic announcer finally said... [hider=Welcome to...] [center][h1]Starbor Village[/h1][/center] [center][h2]Entertainment District[/h2][/center] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/48/89/4d/48894d54366f0fca5dd532e08064e3cd.jpg[/img][/center] Upon the very top of the canopy of Starbor Village was its Entertainment District, a vast playground where anyone can find something that they would like to do. There was a festive energy in the air no matter the time of day and really, who could blame them? One would get the best view of the region up there though the best time every be up here is when the sun is setting and when it is rising. A place filled to the brim with just about anything to keep your interest with both villagers and tourists going about their own business though many would try their best to get the best view on top of the Elder Tree, the tallest tree in the village where people go to its observational deck to get a view of East Evig. Beyond beautiful views, there were also any number of restaurants, theatres, and other means of entertainment that one would find here though there were no gambling institutions as the village's traditions forbit it. There was also the Battle Square where trainers test their might against one another for bragging rights and reputation. If that does not tickle one's fancy, one could go to the ornate Contest Hall for any aspiring Coordinators. Oh yeah, the gym is here too as gyms are actually public spectacles in Evig for the general public to watch, an influence from the Galar Region. Given how high up the district is, it is a decent place to find some Pokemon flying about and of course there were still some that made their homes in the trees where the buildings rested on.

Usually with a large flock, it is barely noticeable when alone. Its cries are very strident.[/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/3Zktsny.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokemon. It pecks at trees with its hard beak. You can get some idea of its mood or condition from the rhythm of its pecking. It may look spindly, but its neck muscles are heavy-duty. It can peck at a tree 16 times per second![/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/AWY1cx9.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Seedot, the Acorn Pokemon. If it remains still, it looks just like a real nut. It delights in surprising foraging Pokémon. It attaches itself to a tree branch using the top of its head.

In fact, it was not very hard to find it at all. Sure, the Entertainment District was typically a bit crowded, but as he walked long the wooden platforms that made up the layer, he would see people pressed together as they were trying to get a view of something. That was until they all seemed to jump out of the way as some rando was sent flying by his own Pokemon being smashed into them. This earned a lot of pained 'oooos' and other grunts. The culprit for this was this bipedal bird standing just slightly over two inches and looked like it was ripped straight out of some wrestling program. It was posing in celebration for its glorious victory over another trainer, a complete and utter blowhard of a Pokemon though one cannot deny its results. Jason would not have a clue what this Pokemon was given that he was from the Hoenn region, but his handy dandy Pokedex sure knew what it was. [hider=The Pokemon] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/yGI8yq8.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Hawlucha, the Wrestling Pokemon. It drives its opponents to exhaustion with its agile maneuvers, then ends the fight with a flashy finishing move. It always strikes a pose before going for its finishing move. Sometimes opponents take advantage of that time to counterattack.[/i][/color] [/center] [color=9e0b0f]"Haw! Hawwww Lucha!"[/color] It roared out as it spread its arms in a 'come at me' motion, a declaration for anyone to come and challenge the luchador Pokemon. It was obvious that this thing was looking down on all the trainers for no one had come close to even putting this Pokemon in any state of peril. The trainers knew this, but none had the guts to challenge it. Does Jason have it in him? [/hider] [hr] [@samreaper] Robbie approached the house, not noticing King in his state of panic, and went inside. The man seemed obviously shaken and looked around in a frenzy. "Come on Ditto, I know you're here." A blobby, pink thing that still had a few magenta feathers moved out appeared from underneath an old, broken sofa. [color=f49ac2]"Ditto?"[/color] Meanwhile... There was something that Tristan did not notice given that he decided to not investigate the wall that Princess was facing, which had the scent of King still lingering through. It was actually a bit different compared to the rest of canal; the dirt looked less packed together, as if the dirt was a bit looser for some reason. In his fit of despair, when Tristan first punched the ground, a bit of the loose earth fell off. When Tristan then fell on his back, more of the dirt fell this time in a larger chunk that fell on the poor lad though it was a stroke of luck. There was a dusty, still half covered in dirt, wooden door. [hr] [@Lunarlord34] The waiter just looked at Steph as if she had Caterpies crawling out of her ears, but again, Freya was there to help translate for her, who is also translating for the narrator because what in the fresh hell is a 'pahmi?' Well, maybe the prospect of food was improving her mood because the fact that the Galarian's eyes lit up did not escape Freya. However, the gossip was actually what escaped her as she caught none of what was said around them. [color=ed145b]"You seem to be in a bit of a better mood now."[/color] Freya commented with a smile as she leaned back in her seat though she did sigh as she did seem to be a bit bothered herself. [color=ed145b]"I can't imagine that Evig has made a very good first impression on you considering what you've seen today. Well, except for that guy with the Kalosian accent. We take no responsibility for that."[/color] Really, it would have been reasonable to have a bit of a tainted image of what Evig was like after the kind of people that Steph had met. Thugs, scam artists, a Kalosian... it would be amazing that her view wasn't altered somewhat. So, do Steph and Freya have a nice lunch and move on or is there something specific that Steph wants to do at the pub?
