[@Remram] The Axew stared up at him like he was out of his mind when patted and told that Basil would not be turning back. Well, guess there wasn’t much the little dragon could do to stop him, so the little dragon dashed away. Seemed like the priority here was to not be caught in the crossfire. With that, Basil advanced on his own into the possibly soon to be literally dead end. The dragon, which according to the Pokédex is only basically 6 feet tall or 1.8 meters, was definitely much much larger because the Pokédex is silly. As Basil walked, little grunts escaped the monstrous beast as she roused from her rest, pulling herself off the ground and raising her heads up high. She stretched her necks, extended her wings as she gave a small yawn from each of her three mouths… and then her eyes opened, and her heads lowered to glare imposingly at Basil. She had notably not opened her eyes until Basil had come to a stop. With that, the dragon advanced on him in turn. Her middle head glared at him from in front and the two other heads snaked around to glare at him from the left and right respectively, the dragon lazily waving her wings somehow hovering above him. She hadn’t attacked yet. The numerous Deinos around were looking at the scene curiously. Basil had an opportunity to speak. What would he say? [hider=Dragon Lake][center][h2]Dragon Lake[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/4s1b5Wh.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/4s1b5Whl.jpg[/img][/url][/center] While the whole lake is commonly referred to as “Dragon Lake”, it is mostly just the numerous islands to the north-west of the lake that are the true dragon habitats, the rest is commonly referred to as Route 14. These islands are spiky, tall cliffs standing like daggers out of the waters of the lake, with numerous caverns within which the dragons make their nests. In the waters as well, numerous aquatic dragons swim about, enjoying their time. It is unclear why exactly this became the hunting grounds of the dragons, but they happily feast on the various fish that live in the waters of the island and sometimes fly to the nearby routes to find their prey. Of course, lately there have been far fewer dragons. Poachers of Team Amethyst caught so many dragons for their value being sold to the highest bidders, leading to a sharp dip in their wild populations. Hence why, at any point of time, there’s now Lake Watchers standing and floating as guards around the island, in various little ships looking out with their Pokémon. It is also common to see them on the island, counting dragons and helping fend off any would-be invader with great force. Suffice to say, it’s become very difficult to capture a dragon from here unnoticed. A common sight here is the Gym Leader of Lakewatch Town herself playing with the dragons, and also counting them one by one to see if any are missing…[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1.

Right south of Route 6, below the cliffs, this rocky shore is relatively featureless, but it is the absolutely best way to witness the ocean south of Isson. You could stand here forever, listening to the crashing waves coming against the cliffs, and the residents of Raremine Town tend to come here when they feel like dipping into the blue. Seeing how the alternative would have been the haunted waters of Route 16, perhaps not too surprising. Besides, there’s something more to it. They’re called the Stone Shore for a reason. The crashing waves of the southern oceans tend to carry with them things from the big blue, and they’re free to pick for whoever walks the shore. It’s something of a secret kept among the Raremine Town residents, that you can get some things of value if scourers the sands and rocks of Stone Shore. You might want to watch their fingers, however, because something else that tends to be carried from the ocean are [i]crabs[/i].

A cozy corner in the heart of the bustling Entertainment District. A lovely find, Erika!’[/color] Joshua complimented her before the start of their meal, because the Makuno-Uchi was indeed a very nice place for their meal. In the middle of the conversation, Erika brought up her mother. Maple’s face brightened up in amazement. [color=db845c]‘You’re from there!? Oh, that’s amazing! Please, tell me the name and street of your mother and I’ll be sure to check in with her! Also, give me your number so we can talk more!’[/color] Maple excitedly bounced to Erika as she discussed all the things. With the thing with Ewan and Joshua, she got a nod and an agreement. [color=decdad]‘Will do. Suppose there’s a number of things in this city I’d like to check,’[/color] Ewan said. [color=668570]‘Hm. Let’s see. There’s a contest arena down here, isn’t there…?’[/color] Joshua considered, looking deep in thought all of a sudden. After that, Erika thanked Elana… Elana took a moment to take the straw out of her mouth and give Erika a gentle smile. [color=f0b4a3]‘No worries. Just drop in at Lakewatch Town when you’d like my help. Now, underwater is not my area of expertise, and we actually do have an underwater expert…’[/color] Elana shrugged a little. [color=f0b4a3]‘… but if you want me, that can be arranged.’[/color] With people having said their goodbyes for now, Erika and Sno headed off into the Entertainment District, the air abuzz with chatter and happy tones as people searched for the places to spend their Ps. Erika herself found the place that she wanted go to next… PokéMania. She quickly found that PokéMania had two entrances, one for the audience and one for contestants. There was apparently a function where audience-members were able to bet on which of the contestants they thought would win, and they were able to win money doing that. Anyway, since assumingly she wanted to win those prices, here’s where we assume she enters as a competitor. [hider=do not open this hider if that is not the case]After entering, she found herself in a lobby. There’s a receptionist over there, and a bunch of other Pokémon Trainers talking amongst themselves about various things that could or could not happen to them when they were in there. It seemed she’d entered at a good time, because… [center][url=https://i.imgur.com/rItLEuS.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/rItLEuSl.jpg[/img][/url][/center] [color=576BC0]‘HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO my wonderful contestants! Welcome to PokéMania!’[/color] called a bouncy girl with a Pachirisu on her shoulder and those are definitely Pachirisu ears that stepped out onto a stage above where all the would-be contestants were standing. [center][url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/f4/417Pachirisu.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/0jxJRDs.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #417 – Pachirisu, the EleSquirrel Pokémon. It makes electricity with pouches in its cheeks and shoots charges from its tail. It makes fur balls that crackle with static electricity, and stores them with berries in tree holes. A pair may be seen rubbing their cheek pouches together in an effort to share stored electricity.[/i][/color][/center] [color=576BC0]‘In a moment, you’ll be called out to do battle for the amusement of the crowd! We’re gonna add some wacky rules for you all to follow, while the audience lose their money by betting on your opponents! Because you’re gonna win, aren’t you? Aren’t you? Of course you are!’[/color] she called, winking to the contestants, and her Pachirisy winked in tandem with her. [color=576BC0]‘I’m Makirisu, and I will be commenting on your battles! When you win, you’ll get fancy prices! There are battle items, there are shop vouchers, there’s a whole lot of TMs, and even Pokémon! There’s also a special secret price for someone who makes us feel they earned it~!’[/color] the hired-in idol called to the contestants. [color=576BC0]‘Drop a mention to the receptionist what kind of reward you’d prefer, but other than that you won’t know what you’re getting until after you get it~! But, if you don’t like it you can hand it back and just get cash instead. Plain old boring cash,’[/color] she said with a little laugh. [color=576BC0]‘With that, let’s get to it!’[/color] Erika’d need to register who she is with the receptionist and also optionally type in a description for herself if she wanted to. After that, contestants would start being called in one after another, but Erika was a little late to the party. However, she wouldn’t be allowed to watch the battles herself, because they wouldn’t want her or the other contestants to know what kind of rules they don’t have to prepare for. However, eventually she’d be called in, and… She’d arrive at a brilliant little arena, with tons of shining lights. There was a crowd of people gathered around in the room, ready to cheer on whoever stepped into the arena. It seemed a lot of people liked watching whoever would engage in battle in here. On the other side of the arena was one of the other contestants. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/kQ81SjW.png[/img][/center] [color=A0B068]‘Hi! I’m Colin, the Cooltrainer! W-well, one day! I actually kinda just dressed up as one because Cooltrainers are so cool. Uh. Let’s go!’[/color] [color=576BC0]‘We’re here with the next match! On this side, we get Colin, the “hopeful Cooltrainer”! Raised in Pureplain City, he’s coming all the way here to Worldedge City to grow stronger as a trainer! He’s competed here twice before, so he should be getting into the swing of things!’[/color] Makirisu was standing at a podium above the battle commentating. Now she pointed over at Erika, and what she says now will completely depend on what Erika actually wrote in, so we’ll hold it there. [color=576BC0]‘With that done, let’s spin the wheel!’[/color] she called, and there was actually a giant wheel with far too many potential rules in it to possibly be deciphered. Makirisu pressed a button, and the giant wheel started spinning… and… [color=576BC0]‘And we’ve got a classic! It’s the Inverse Battle! Type match-ups are reversed, and no type is immune to any type!’[/color] Makirisu shouted out, and the crowd cheered. The field suddenly shifted colors and some form of terrain effect was applied from the walls, changing the rules of the battle as it was. But then… the wheel spun again. [color=576BC0]‘Oh, what’s this? The wheel spins again! It’s a two-for-one!’[/color] the announcer called out again, and so it indeed did! It spun, and spun, until it eventually landed on… [color=576BC0]‘It’s a Snagem Battle!’[/color] Makirisu called, and the crowd went wild. [color=576BC0]‘It’s a first for both of you, isn’t it? Well, the point of the Snagem Battle is to capture the opponent’s Pokémon! They’re not ACTUALLY going to be captured, but they will count as out! So lower their health, maybe apply a status-condition, then throw a ball! Of course, throwing a ball and then not capturing the opponent's Pokémon will mean a free move for them! Both of you will be provided an unlimited amount of normal Pokéballs!’[/color] As she said that, a barrel of Pokéballs was placed next to each of the contestants. [color=576BC0]‘If you faint the opposing Pokémon, they immediately recover to full health! Oh, but if they faint themselves, they’re out! So don’t go exploding on us!’[/color] [color=576BC0]‘So we’ve got an Inverse Snagem Battle! Think you got the brains to figure THAT ONE out!? Only one way to find out! One Pokémon at a time, 1-on-1! Both trainers, pick your Pokémon! You’ve got one minute!’[/color] With that, they were given their minute, then… [color=576BC0]‘Ready! Set! Battle!’[/color] [color=A0B068]‘Here we go…!’[/color] And so Colin threw out his first Pokémon… The Pokéball opened, and with a beam of light, a little dude with a green hat manifested!

[hider=Worldedge City][center][h2]Worldedge City[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/8ZLKznC.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/KASoclW.png[/img][/url][/center] A rush of energy flows with the wind that breezes through the alleys of the city. Somehow, you feel lighter, like some strange weight has been taken from your shoulders. Looking up, tall, massive structures, structures seeming to defy gravity and common sense grow, stretching high into the sky and far down across the cliffs. The people look calm, focused on their duties and sprawling in their number, holding a vital position in all the businesses of Isson. The design of the streets are narrow, illogical and unstructured, and feel like they would be easy to get lost in, yet it is as if you’re being guided by fate’s hand and you’ll arrive where you were intending to go. In the distance, always watching, the peaks of a distant mountain rise. You are now in Worldedge City. Isson’s largest city. It grew into place on both sides of Mt. Edge as efforts were made to dig through the mountain and join the northern and southern landmasses, it was known as two different towns until the use of Abras as public transportation method within the city was widely adopted and the city grew to become known as one single entity. Widely accepted is the idea that a mystical energy of some form within Mt. Edge surges around the buildings, calling Psychic Pokémon towards the mountain and therefore the city. People living here have an easier time feeling at ease with the world, and the laws of gravity don't apply as they maybe should to the buildings around here. From this would Isson’s most successful city grow to be, at the place where two or more worlds connect. So was Worldedge City named. It should be noted that being called a “Worldedge Resident” has some negative stigma attached to it. If you are one, you’re interpreted as a lazy individual who has it easier than the rest of the world, happiness coming naturally to you and you probably see yourself as superior to the rest of Isson, and you might not be entirely sane or [i]yourself[/i] due to constant exposure to the energies of Mt. Edge. Of course, this is a stereotype that most people recognize and can see past, but there is no smoke without fire, so to say. There those who are very distrustful of the energies of Mt. Edge and would rather never subject themselves to it. These particular dislikes compounded and grew strong enough in some people that the Crossing was created just south of Worldedge City just so those individuals could get past without entering the city.[/hider] The city is comprised of six different districts. Three districts on each side of Mt. Edge, stapled on top of one another by the way of leaning on the cliff sides and mountain as well as giant pillars, taking advantage of the strange physics around Mt. Edge. Exits out of the city are on the middle districts of each side. Each district has their own Pokémon Center and Pokémart, but otherwise have their own unique features. The following applies regardless of where in Worldedge City you are. [i]Connected areas: [/i] Route 10. [i]South of Worldedge. A farmland employing multiple psychic Pokémon from Mt.

Given all the buildings on top, few actual lights come down here even during the day, but all the blazing lights in this unnatural city-scape more than make up for it. Plenty of the skyscrapers holding up the Commercial District above have some form of advertisement, and each open door opens a new possible way to spend money in these depths of entertainment, probably with some form of Pokémon logo. Down here lies the most famous and populated Game Corner on Isson, where thousands of P are being wasted every day, and houses for unofficial Contests or Battles for money and prices are sanctioned and bet upon for the enjoyment of viewers and participants. It truly feels like if one never got bored, one would probably never run out of things to do down here… assuming the wallet didn’t run dry, that is. Notable Places: 1. Worldedge Game Corner.

While the building architecture still might require a raised eyebrow, the atmosphere is healthy and playful, many families making their life here on top of the Commercial and Entertainment districts, where they work. Schools and little parks for children to learn the ways of Pokémon exist, and there is nothing saying those older cannot use them too. The Little Cup stadium is here, allowing the children to watch and perhaps participate without straying too far from home. Yet, among these buildings live a few of the most noteworthy individuals in Isson. Like the rumored and powerful Crone, who has to be battled by a strong trainer every once in a while or she will stir up trouble, or like the empty mansion that supposedly belongs to the Champion… Notable Places: 1. Practice Park. [i]A little park in the residential district where children can catch low-level Pokémon and train for the real thing.[/i] 2. Pokémon Day Care.

It’s a long, winding corridor of tight buildings with many bridges and storefronts, and it all leads up to the Worldedge Department Store, the biggest Pokémart in Isson. If you somehow cannot find what you’re looking for there, then you’re probably all out of luck. It isn’t all there is here, however. Among the corridors is the House of Trades, where people can sit at computers and request trades with all other people that have ever been there, as well as the Psychic Train that uses certain teleporting abilities to achieve transportation to a distant town. Or, if those don’t reach where you want, you can just call a Freecape Ferryman and s/he’ll fly you there, assuming you have the cash. Also here, lies the store where the infamous inventor Russel sells his products. Perhaps, if you’re lucky, the fool’s things actually work for you? No guarantees, though! Notable Places: 1. Worldedge Department Store. [i]Products from all over Isson gather, right here. The largest store of Isson.[/i] 2. Worldedge Trade Station.

They may seek to share their knowledge at the multiple cafés spread about, read up at the library, check into the museum or any number of things. There aren’t that many things here that would keep a Pokémon Trainer dawdling around for long, and most residents here are fine with that. It is still quite the spectacle, walking on the bridges between these pointy buildings, finding the streets and wondering how you're not lost yet in this maze of stairs and bridges, never touching the ground. Far above lies the Mystical District and there are plenty of stairs up, and down below is the Industrial District… It may feel a bit enclosed. Most notable in this area is most certainly the famous Professor Dunstan’s lab and residence, which he mostly leaves to his companions as he spends a lot of his time in the other lab in Raremine Town as well.

The factories of Worldedge City are far below the Information District, down at water-level, where at the base of Mt. Edge countless machines tumble and toll for the continued success of man- and Pokémon-kind. Being below two other districts the Industrial District is naturally dark, even during the day, but countless lights shine it up and the workers do not mind one bit. They have their own marketplaces, their own little residences and they certainly earn enough to make their own lives when it comes to that. But, among the factories and warehouses are those that stand empty, and one might have to wonder what’s actually inside them sometimes. Notable Places: 1. Factories.

Assisted by Psychic-Pokémon, the upper echelons of the city contains a significant price-tag for those who’d wish to live here and so filters the more common men to the levels below, yet there are activities that draw trainers up from the depths. First and foremost is the Pokémon Gym, floating above their heads, and also the Worldedge Floating Stadium, the largest and most amazing of the multiple stadiums in Worldedge City, where the most epic of battles in the city are fought and watched. Truly, these streets so high above the rest leave a certain impression as one walks here. Notable Places: 1. Pokémon Gym. [i]Worldedge City Gym. It’s one of those towers floating in mid-air… You need to fly to get there.[/i] 2. Worldedge Floating Stadium. [i]Worldedge’s biggest stadium, floating over the city.

Orlando’s Spiritual Dojo. [i]A dojo focused on discovering one’s spiritual self. Often takes trips into Mt. Edge. You can join an expedition for protection, or challenge them![/i] 5. Marilyn’s Divination. [i]Tell her where you’re going next, and she can divine your luck and what to look out for when there![/i] 6. Gym Leader’s Home. [i]… So, those who can’t get to the Gym themselves are sometimes known to wait for the leader here. It’s a little frowned upon.[/i][/hider] __________________________ [@Typical] There were a couple other miners that had to take a look that Eryn hadn’t managed to unleash an unspeakable monstrosity that she needed help with when Peri roared, but they could soon confirm it was just a Pokémon making her opinion heard and be about their way. With that, they decided to head on, into Frozen Cave proper. They found the trek to lead upwards, most of the trail was upwards, leading to risks of slipping and sliding all the way back where she’d come from. But, journeying forward, Eryn made her way through increasingly tight frozen tunnels, until eventually it opened up at least a little. A cold wind hit her in the face. It appeared to be snowing. [hider=You have arrived at][center][h3]Frozen Cave[/h3][/center] [center][url=https://i.imgur.com/3E58zVV.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/3E58zVVh.jpg[/img][/url][/center] The tunnels of the Frozen Cave are a series of pathways inside, and above, the mountain range surrounding Cooldome City and Route 9. In various places the signs of construction are evident, as people attempted to tame the caverns, but ultimately to no avail. There are quite a few paths that lead down through icy halls where only the frozen walls are your companions, but an equal amount lead in over the mountainside with the open sky above and a constant snowfall. Ice sticks out like crystals, forming both the path that one may walk on as well as the scenery one might be awed by. The icy nature here is untamed and wild. Compared to the calm coolness of the mines, here the cold feels substantially more hostile. Any trainer heading through here must beware or they will slip, and not all paths one can slip down have access to easy paths back up. Cold blows eternally from above and below. Many ice-Pokémon make their home here, and quite a few of them are at least somewhat aggressive in nature. All of this caused these caves to once be judged to be a great challenge, and any Pokémon Trainer that is able to brave them is worthy of the battle-focused city of Cooldome City that awaits on the other side… Albeit, most people who make their way to Cooldome City does so by the far safer Tunnel on the eastern side instead. And, the first thing Eryn might realize as she arrived in this area… are that there are some bats around that just won’t be dissuaded by cold!

It lives in colonies in dark places. It has no eyes, but when flying it is constantly emitting ultrasonic sounds which it uses to navigate through echolocation. As sunlight burns it, it’s usually only found in caves or at night.[/i][/color][/center] But other than that, Eryn wouldn’t be terribly surprised by the Pokémon she found. There were small gatherings of Snorunts walking about… [center][url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6b/361Snorunt.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/t6EbUJ7.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #361 – Snorunt, the Snow Hat Pokémon. They're found in snow-regions in groups of five. In warmer seasons, they tend to sleep deep in caverns. They can survive on only eating snow and ice. According to old folklore, a house visited or inhabited by a Snorunt is sure to prosper.[/i][/color][/center] There were numerous Delibirds around. It actually appeared that the Delibirds were heading down or up the mountain, likely down to get food and then up again to deliver to their chicks. [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Delibird_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/Krstkrz.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #225 – Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. The bag it carries its food with is actually its tail. It’s known to scourge up food all day to bring home to its chicks, but it also shares this food with anyone it comes across. There are plenty of tales of people lost in snowy mountains saved by the food of wandering Delibirds. However, sometimes said food is bugs.[/i][/color][/center] In fact, as someone they came across, the Delibirds just happily gave Eryn things they’d found. Mostly berries. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Eryn obtained Oran Berry! Eryn obtained Rawst Berry! Eryn obtained Pecha Berry! Eryn obtained Oran Berry! Eryn obtained Dead Bug! Eryn obtained Aspear Berry![/i][/color][/center] … Mostly berries. There’s also small brown hairy pigs here and there sniffing around the snow. [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Swinub_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]http://i.imgur.com/ACpdYal.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #220 – Swinub, the Pig Pokémon. To survive frigid landscapes, it uses its keen nose to find and dig up mushrooms, berries and other things under the ice. If it smells something enticing, it's known for dashing headlong towards it. It's sometimes used to find hot springs.[/i][/color][/center] A bit more uncommonly, she or her companions could see small and darker creatures spying past corners at her, gauging how viable a target she might be. [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sneasel_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/YW11yVg.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #215 – Sneasel, the Sharp Claw Pokémon. It scales trees and ice by punching its hooked claws into surfaces. Naturally vicious, it gangs up and cooperates to lure away the parents while another steals the eggs, which they then eat, though they frequently betray their packmates if they can get the food for itself. It uses the shroud of night to conceal its actions.[/i][/color][/center] So those were the creatures she’d found without going too deep, and the latter only because she spent a while training. But, hey. She spent the while training. So some results from that. Now, something that might shock you is that most ice-type Pokémon here knows either Icy Wind or Powder Snow, endangering training for Atha substantially. This applied to Peri, too, whose Rock-type didn’t give her defense against ice. Kylie would help with her steel-type moves, unfortunately she doesn’t know any. At the very least she resists ice. Still, they got some training in. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Dei grew to level 19!
