[@Remram] Lesley threw a look at his now bloodied jacket and gave a little shrug. [color=edbf8e]‘Well, if you ever felt like going for the dangerous ruffian look, there ya go,’[/color] Lesley said with the tiniest bit of mirth in her voice while still patching him together. When he then used her own words back at her, she made a bit of a grimace. [color=edbf8e]‘You’re right, and it probably [i]was[/i] the right move to get closer to the Hydreigon… but you do realize how close you just came to being torn in half? If you keep making those bets, one of these days it will not go your way. Darn it, did you HAVE to pick that one? Most others don’t just randomly attack humans. Like, if that one was the only mother on the island, I wouldn’t have let you go off like that,’[/color] Lesley grumbled. When Basil shouted off towards the Hydreigon, she was still locked in combat with Salamence. But, with Basil’s shout of her name, the dragon flapped her wings and came to a stop, hovering in mid-air. Salamence also stopped the assault, a momentary ceasefire. Hydreigon listened to his words, notably with her back turned… then gave out a loud roar. The roar of a dragon that had heard his promise. Then, she flapped her wings, and soared out through the cave’s entrance and out into the open sky. [color=edbf8e]‘Ooo, it’s been a while since she left the cave…’[/color] Lesley said, looking momentarily back towards the eggs and the Deinos, then nodded. [color=edbf8e]‘Alright. Salamence! Come back! We’ve got a delivery to make!’[/color] Lesley called her dragon, who came flying back. Lesley applied a Hyper Potion to heal the damage from the battle with Hydreigon, then helped Basil back up, much gentler than last time. Then, they were off. This time with Lesley keeping a more steady hold of Basil, just in case he’d suddenly faint, and not flying quite as dangerously. That is, since last time she was somewhat intentionally trying to scare him. During the flight, Basil asked how much Lesley had heard. She gave him a peculiar look. [color=edbf8e]‘If you’re talking about what you said to Hydreigon, none. When I came running, the Hydreigon was already in your face. I stayed at a distance, because approaching would just have made it worse. Then it charged the Dragon Pulse, and I could wait no longer, so I sent Salamence. At that distance, I didn’t hear anything,’[/color] Lesley said, because realism. [color=edbf8e]‘Do you have something you wish to tell me?’[/color] she ended on an open-ended question. Up to Basil if he wants to answer. [hider=same paragraph as last time upon arrival, if you want to arrive]Lesley’d eventually be able to call her Salamence back from the encounter with Hydreigon, and while severely damaged, it was nothing that prevented the mighty dragon from flying a couple of humans and maybe a dragon back to the mainland. Lesley directed Salamence to put them down at a building, which turned out to be the local hospital, because she wanted Basil’s arm checked. We can keep that part short, but Lesley brought Basil inside, made sure a proper medical professional got a look at his arm, then the Gym Leader had a nurse lecture her about bringing a kid to danger island which she defended by saying Basil isn’t THAT young. While he was being checked Lesley took a moment to run off somewhere, and then came back in time for when he’d be checked out. He’d now have a nice little bandage around his arm. [color=edbf8e]‘Alright. So, if you’re gonna raise a dragon, especially a Deino, you’re going to need these,’[/color] Lesley said, handing over a couple items from her collection… [center][color=6ecff6][i]Basil obtained a Dragon Chew Toy! Basil obtained a Forearm Guard![/i][/color][/center] That is, a bone-like toy that definitely is a joy to chew on for a Deino, and a piece of armor for the arm so that Basil wouldn’t have to surrender his arm to more bites. [color=edbf8e]‘Well, seems like it worked out. Please do work on your self-preservation skills, though. Can you handle yourself from here?’[/color] Lesley asked, sighing a little yet still able to give a little smile to him while putting her hands on her hips. Were they done there? If so, here’s Lakewatch Town again. [hider=Lakewatch Town][center][h2]Lakewatch Town[/h2] [url=http://i.imgur.com/DChhkfk.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/QQcVLfQ.jpg[/img][/url][/center] As one looks upon Lakewatch, it is clear it was once built by the side of the water. Yet, over time, Dragon Lake has actually increased in volume, the water-level rising and swallowing the town. Then the natural conclusion would be to move the town back, follow the water-level, and rebuild at the new shore, right? That, does not appear to have been the thought that went through the minds of the designers of this Town, which is essentially placed out in the water on top of older buildings, the streets of the town flooded in water and to get around one has to make use of their many canoes or get on the back of a Pokémon. The town of Lakewatch rises fairly high for its size, and vegetation grows pretty freely around the buildings. Most buildings and streets have white floating cobblestone to walk on either side of the streets, with a river of water flowing in the middle. People here are highly accustomed to this, and the streets are constantly bustling with people heading back and forth, as well as people actually gliding down from the higher buildings from the roofs above using strange little paragliders. It appears people live in the higher floors, while business takes place on ground/water-level. There are canoes basically everywhere that anyone’s free to borrow, townspeople commonly jumping down on a canoe, using the force of the jump to drift it to the other side and then simply jump off. Now, anyone could hear from the name that Lakewatch Town is the town that basically rules the Dragon Lake. The Lakewatchers are a group of people that regularly patrol the waters, and become friends with the dragons that live there. Tours by the Lakewatchers are the primary tourist attraction of the place, along with the fish that is procured from the same lake, and guides are trained to show the way in any surrounding areas. Their boats are also those who trade with the western side through Highhill, keeping the place alive and busy. Plus, there’s always the rumors of treasure or otherwise hiding deep in Flooded Lakewatch, and Descent Tower looms in the middle of town for those hoping to explore… but who really knows? It’s a nice and different place, definitely.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]There’s plenty of water here.
