[@Joshua Tamashii] To no one's surprise, the Galarian Yamask quickly floated towards Amelia to volunteer with the automaton lumbering not too far behind to guide her through the ruins. The rest of the ghosts' attention began to wane and simply went back to what they were doing and left the impromptu tour of the ruins. Well, it was hard to call it a tour given that they could not actually communicate to Amelia in any way that would convey the history of the ruins. Then again, they knew even less than her. They were leading her through the ruins along the river, heading upstream. What Amelia did know about these ruins was less specific towards the ruins there specifically and more about the general knowledge of the ruins that she learned in school, given that she was twelve years old and more than likely had very little knowledge of the ruins beyond her education. Evig was not always a unified region; it was once many petty kingdoms that would pillage other regions as scourge of the seas for a few centuries until they were unified into a single kingdom that has lasted into the modern age. Well, existing in a capacity where they served more as cultural ambassadors and a symbol rather than political leaders. This was the Sigmond Royal Family. This was something that Evig Natives would know even as small children. There was no way for Amelia to tell from what time period the ruins here specifically were from other than just old. The remains of the ruins were mainly stone constructs such as moss-covered arches, intricately carved grand gates that were now partially freestanding with some connected to walls, pillars in various states of disrepair with the remains of some laying on their sides, and various places that may have once been buildings. Of course, there were the aforementioned free-standing walls that looked like they were part of something once, but now confuse people with their strange markings where the occasional Yamask would pop out from one of the walls though the ghostly energy that came from the ghosts differed to what was in the ruins. It would have been fair to assume that this was perhaps once a great city built that took advantage of the river for various uses such as transporting goods and irrigation though eventually fell. It would become very clear that not all of the ruins emitted that energy that she sensed earlier; it was the walls with the markings on them. There was also something else; one would expect Pokemon to roam around the ruins. Nature had reclaimed these ruins and save for the occasional ghost-type that roamed around, the only living things in the area were Amelia and the Pokemon with her. Not a single soul, living or otherwise could be seen or sensed. Just the sound of the wind rustled leaves and the running river could be heard. This was more evident the further upstream they went. What does Amelia do? [hr] [@Sanguine Rose][@samreaper] Robbie held his hands up and said, "Hey, hey I said I'm done. I know when I'm beat. I'm not picking a fight with two trainers at the same time." He was keeping his hands up to show that he was not going to be a threat as he limped towards the edge of the ditch where Faye was and with the help of her, Princess, and a minor contribution from Tristan, they got the farmhand out. He thanked them and watched Tristan just being the absolute worst to the newly arrived trainer. "You know, kid, if you keep that haughty attitude up, you're never gonna have friends. Well, not someone who wants to be with you for you at least." said the farmhand before he continued to limp his way back to the farm with the other two. There were red and blue lights off in the distance that got brighter and brighter the closer they were to the farm. When they did arrive, the entirety of the farm save for the two daughters were present where Faye would assume that Rosa was watching her little sister. Neil, the massive Ursaring of a man approached the farmhand being escorted by the two trainers with a look a great sadness.[b] "So, it really was you."[/b] He said with a disappointment akin to that of a parent rather than anger. [b]"You remember what I told you when you first started to work here. This was your second chance. That was the deal."[/b] Robbie smiled at him though it was obviously one of regret, yet gratefulness towards the large man to have at least been given a second chance. "Yeah, I remember. Sorry, I guess there are some things that just don't change." he clasped his hands around Neil's hands and when released, there was a Pokeball in his former employer's hands. "Take it. Use it to help make up for the damage I've done. Thanks for everything, boss." Gently pushing Neil out of the way, Robbie limped his way to the police and held his hands out towards them. "Alright, take me away." If Tristan wanted to give the police the folder, now was the chance. Either way, what happens afterwards plays out the same way anyway. Minutes later, the police and Robbie were gone. The rest of the employees dispersed to go finish up what they were doing previously before they dropped it to do the mad search. The only ones left were Neil, his wife Frida, and the two trainers. Neil just stood there, and the poor man just looked exhausted while his wife, this very short, physically strong looking blonde woman just rubbing his back like he was a kicked puppy. He turned to two trainers and took a very deep breath and then a long exhale. [b]"Well, this has been a day."[/b] He said tiredly and then suggested, [b]"How about you two go inside and relax? I can get your reward ready, Tristan, in the meanwhile."[/b] Neil turned to his wife and asked, [b]"Honey, could you take them to the house while I do that?"[/b] In her ever-thick Galarian/Scottish, Frida said, [color=82ca9d]"Sure thing love. C'moan ye two, ye baith keek lik' ye'v hud a day."[/color] She would lead the two to a large farm style house with a luxuriously large wooden deck decorated with wooden chairs with soft cushions of high quality as well as various other bits of outdoor furniture. They would be led inside to a fashionably furnished house filled with modern, yet rustic chic furniture until they reached what was the living room with a pretty blonde braided girl with sharp eyes and denim overalls that Faye would recognize was Rosa and a pre-school aged girl with brown hair, Lisa, who she beat earlier. Rosa was reclined on a brown leather sofa with her feet resting on the armrest watching her little sister play with dolls when the two and her mother walked in. [color=fff200]"Heya ma, Faye, I saw it all from inside. That's some crazy stuff."[/color] She arched her brow when she noticed the rich boy next to her. [color=fff200]"So you're the hero of the day, huh? I guess I should thank you, so thanks I guess."[/color] [color=82ca9d]"Rosa, whit hae ah tellt ye aboot putting yer feet oan th' couch?"[/color] Her mother said with a stern tone and then turned to the two trainers. [color=82ca9d]"Ye two git comfy. A'm aff tae mak' dinner."[/color] Frida went off to the kitchen and now they were left alone to their own devices. Oh, and Tristan was given his shoes back earlier, so those worn old boots were now retired. [hr] [@Zarkun] Connor just stared at him with a look of exhaustion and annoyance in response to Jason's well meaning, but unsolicited advice. [color=f7941d]"What do you think I'm doing outside a Contest Hall wearing a suit that costs around the down payment of a used car?"[/color] The cowboy asked rhetorically. It was a bit cold though it was clear that the last thing that he wanted was advice, especially if it was something that he already knew though quickly realized that what he said came out as much ruder than he intended to. Especially since his Scraggy was looking up at its partner with disappointment. [color=f7941d]"Sorry, uh, that was uncalled for. I'm... I'm just gonna head inside. If you want to watch, you can probably get a ticket at the reception desk. I'll see you later." [/color] Jason would watch the cowboy and his Scraggy walk away and into the hall. What does Jason do?

Now here's the thing; sewers were not places where people went to hang out. There was not a public entrance per se where people could go through legally like they would for the entrance of a theater or an amusement park. In fact, sewers were not places where people generally wanted to go at all. Not even the people who build and maintain them want to be down there! So, the 'public' entrance that Steph would find was a manhole cover. Realizing what was about to happen, Freya stepped backwards and with disgust painted clearly on her face she said, [color=ed145b]"Oh, hell no. There's a lot that I'll do, but sewer crawling isn't one of them. If you want to meet up later, just text me, but I am not going down there."[/color] If Steph did not find a way to convince her, the bogan girl would find herself climbing down the latter to the sewers by herself. It wasn't a long climb down and the further down she went, the damper it became and the worse the smell became. She would eventually touch ground. [hider=Welcome to...] [center][h1]Grand Glory City Sewers[/h1][/center] [img]https://cg2.cgsociety.org/uploads/images/original/penemenn-concept-art-sewer-3-1-dfe4a0a1-xlzn.jpeg[/img] There really isn't much that one needs to say about the sewers. It was this damp place that reeked of sulfur, otherwise known for its rotten egg smell. One would hear the sound of the sewer water running through in this otherwise silent place. Brought into the Grand Glory City and found in every town and city were these strange slime creatures with crystals that were eating whatever trash found its way into the sewers, which was more often than people would like to admit. They certainly smelled exactly like they looked, but one would assume that they played a vital role in the cleanliness of the city. There were sentient garbage bags with arms and legs that did their best to stay away from the slime creatures for fear of their life. One would assume that these things were the reason why the slime creature were brought in to begin with, much to the despair of the trash bags. Besides the poison-types, there were some familiar rats scurrying around except they had a dark coat instead of their usual purple and had more wild tufts of fur around the ears and the tips of their tails. What does Steph do? [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/hUwC1I8.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Grimer, the Sludge Pokemon. A Grimer, which had been brought in to solve a problem with garbage, developed over time into this form. The crystals on Grimer's body are lumps of toxins. If one falls off, lethal poisons leak out.[/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/IliXAgr.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Trubbish, the Trash Bag Pokemon. Its favorite places are unsanitary ones. If you leave trash lying around, you could even find one of these Pokémon living in your room. The combination of garbage bags and industrial waste caused the chemical reaction that created this Pokémon.[/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/PFPH3Nj.png?3[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Rattata, the Mouse Pokemon.
