[@Zarkun] For the sake of simplicity, let's say that Jason decided to hunt for the Starly and really, it was not that hard to find one since they were all over the canopy of the village. He found this one literally just minding its own business until Jason so rudely interrupted its good vibes by throwing a sparkling bipedal gator at it. The bird would counter its defense drop by using Growl to lower Sable's attack and would begin use Quick Attack to strike a pace faster than the Totodile could predict. However, it would still get hit with the Scratches that Sable would retaliate with. It was not a very exciting battle full of strategy; it was just two Pokemon beating the ever-loving crap out of each other until that bird was weak enough to go into a ball or until Sable went down. Fortunately, Jason did throw a Pokeball before Sable would go down and was absorbed into it. It rolled once... it rolled twice... it rolled thrice!

Training in the woods, the main targets were just grass and bug type Pokemon, one of them being Shroomish. This Pokemon was particularly annoying to fight against due to physical contact moves triggering Effect Spore, which imparts a random status effect on the attacker. Still, he got some training done and even trained against a the occasional uncommon Pokemon. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/YHx5aky.png?1[/img] [i][color=6ecff6]Aipom, the Long Tail Pokemon.

There are no bones about it, if we are found out then the police will be the least of our concerns. We'll leave through the tunnel and sneak our way out of the property." He tried to walk, but he winced in pain and had to sit down on a very old, creaky wooden chair. The pink blob concerningly moved over to him, but Robbit said, "I'll be fine. I just need to rest a bit. Please get the stash, Ditto." The pink blob did some sort of nod and began to slide away as it seemed to be rummaging through some old furniture in "God dammit, why me? Why did this have to happen to me?" He hid his face in his palms. Meanwhile on Tristan's end, Princess removed the rest of the dirt from the door and opening it revealed an obviously manmade tunnel if the door wasn't an indication. There was an eerie silence as there were no Pokemon or any sound in that tunnel let alone any light source save from using something like his Pokedex's screen to light the way. Eventually, he wound find an end and there was a ladder and above him were now cracks of light. What does Tristan do? [hr] [@Joshua Tamashii] [center][i][color=6ecff6]Amelia bought 5 Potions.[/color][/i][/center] She now has 1500P left. After buying what she needed from the Pokemart, Amelia has now begun to look for the source of this spectral energy. There was no clear way of walking straight towards the source from Grand Glory so she would have to actually leave the city by one of its two routes. Considering that she wanted to avoid Florasong as much as possible, she would head south of the city. The further she went, the more he would notice that size of the buildings were less grand and sparce the greater the distance she walked. There was both a main road for vehicles to travel and a well-maintained dirt walkway for travelers making their way to the Starbor Woods and beyond if they were so inclined. She began to hear the sound of running water. [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. While walking, one should tread carefully not to step on the rocks because they may not even be rocks at all and are in fact Geodude. There was always some poor, tired traveler who accidentally stepped on one or even sat on them mistaking them for simply a boulder where they could rest their weary feet. Needless to say, the results are not pleasant. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/GMROioS.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #074-Geodude, the Rock Pokemon. Found in fields as well as mountains. They commonly rest, half-buried in the ground and indistinguishable from normal rocks. There are always way more Geodude around than a traveler will notice. Stepping on one by accident may trigger their rage.[/center][/i][/color] Along the river, one can see a classic favorite among most people dude to their goofy, cute appearance are the Bidoof. These Pokemon can be seen building their nests along the water. Meanwhile, there were the heads of the most happy, armless Pokemon in the world, Wooper, poking out of the water. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/SKo1YtR.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #399-Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokemon. With nerves of steel, nothing can perturb it. It is more agile and active than it appears. It constantly gnaws on logs and rocks to whittle down its front teeth. It nests alongside water.[/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/4HI5qQR.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #194-Wooper, the Water Fish Pokemon. This Pokémon lives in cold water. It will leave the water to search for food when it gets cold outside. When walking on land, it covers its body with a poisonous film that keeps its skin from dehydrating. [/center][/i][/color] Coasting along the surface of the rivers were Duckletts. Some were diving underwater in hunt of food though it seemed like in general they left everyone alone. Unless you had a bag filled with breadcrumbs. God help your soul. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/u6OpEex.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #580-Ducklett, the Water Bird Pokemon. When attacked, it uses its feathers to splash water, escaping under cover of the spray. They are better at swimming than flying, and they happily eat their favorite food, peat moss, as they dive underwater. [/center][/i][/color] Then there were the ruins themselves. Every now and again by the ruins, she would see strange, almost automaton beings just walking around aimlessly. Some of them though lining boulders up for some unknown reason. It would've been very easy to mistake them for not being Pokemon if it were not for the fact that the Pokedex did indeed have an entry for them. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/DOnMgQh.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #622-Golett, the Automaton Pokemon. They were sculpted from clay in ancient times. No one knows why, but some of them are driven to continually line up boulders. [/center][/i][/color] If that was not odd enough, some of the bits of wall would [i]pop[/i] off a wall to reveal that the piece was being held by a shadow-like being with purple eyes. They would look at Amelia curiously, sometimes float around him before going off on their own business.

[/hider] [hr] [@Lunarlord34] After a quite modest lunch, Steph and Freya went to a Pokemart and got her supplies after paying a very confused cashier though because she bought ten Pokeballs she also received a free Premier Ball. [center][i][color=6ecff6]Steph bought 10 Pokeballs and 3 Potions. Steph received a Premier Ball.[/color][/i][/center] Steph was left with now 400 P. After that, Steph had decided to do some asking around just to learn about the region with... varying results. Her accent didn't really help that much though thankfully she had a friend to help clear some misunderstandings up and was given some general info about the region though nothing really all that notable really. The thing is that a lot of people gave a lot of answers that sounded like they were for tourists, offering things that either equate into tourist traps, restaurants, or extremely useless trivia that would only be useful for pub trivia night. However, there were some sensible people that actually had something that would be at least somewhat helpful to tell Steph. "I've heard that there's something going on in the Corrupted Marsh. The Pokemon are agitated for some reason and are attacking anyone that walks in." "Have you checked out the ruins on Route 4? Strange things they are. They're covered in writing that no one can understand though ghost types seem to love it around there. I wonder what they say." "Tourist huh? If you're gonna head north, then I suggest you buy something warm. Route 8 and Frostford snow all year round and trust me, you don't want to go there unprepared. I swear, it ain't natural." "Huh, exploring the region, are you? Word of advice. If you are ever in Neon Shore City, do your best to keep your head low. Not much good happens getting noticed there." "Oh? If you're heading to the Starbor Woods, then you should get some tree climbing equipment. You can find some pretty interesting things up in them." "Did you know that some of the Pokemon in Evig have regional forms? Some of them are a bit harder to find than others, but I if you're a trainer I'm sure you'll want to seek them out." Speaking of thieving Winguls, Steph would see one of these water rats with wings not steal some chips, but a full-on sandwich from a very portly dark-skinned man with dreadlocks and glasses. "My manwich!" [hr] [@Sanguine Rose] Rosa took a second to think about it though it was really just a second. [color=fff200]"Eh, sure why not? As long you aren't posting it online it should be fine. Gather around kids!"[/color] It didn't take a lot to wrangle the kids though there was the challenge of taking the photos of kids; they do not know how to sit still. There were so many failed attempts of getting a single photo of them sitting still and looking at the camera. Eventually though, Faye would get a singular photo where they just sat still and looked straight at the camera much to Rosa and our photographer's relief. [color=fff200]"Ah, sorry about that. Herding kids is like herding Purrloin."[/color] Apologized Rosa for the amount of effort it took to get one photo. What was Faye going to do now?
