[@Zarkun] There was a moment of silence from Professor Kapoc's end when Jason asked his question. Eventually, he said in a neutral matter of fact tone, [color=ed1c24]"No, nothing like that has happened."[/color] Jason heard a sigh from the other end of the line. [color=ed1c24]"If it's any comfort to you, you're more than likely safe. This stays between us, but I am privy to certain information."[/color] In the background he could heard the clacking of a keyboard. [color=ed1c24]"There was an incident in Sinnoh regarding Team Galatic's previous leadership. He tried to remake the world and to do so, he summoned the two legendary Pokemon of time and space and bound them to his will. If neither of them could remove him from our timeline in such a dire situation, then whatever forced Celebi out can't do it to you if it hasn't done so already. We're all bound to a logic, even Celebi's ability to time travel has its own rules."[/color] There seemed to be some noise in the background, as if there were people yelling. [color=ed1c24]"I'm only going to tell this to you once. Let this lie and continue on your journey. I know that you think you're an adult, but you are not. You are still a kid. Enjoy it while you still can and let us deal with the situation."[/color] There was some shrill, unintelligible yelling, but there was one word that Jason could make out. Rather, it was a name, Amelia. [color=ed1c24]"Look, I've got to go. I've got another mess I need to clean up. Take care."[/color] Kapoc hung up on Jason. Now what? [hider=Suggested Actions] 1.

However, as soon as she spun and kicked up the leaves something happened. The leaves that she kicked up began to glow green and instead of turning into some sort of nuisance, the leaves smashed against the Lombre and physically pushed it back. Angel would have been just as confused as to what happened. Whatever happened, it wasn't on purpose. [color=39b54a]"Oho? Now isn't that interesting,"[/color] Ramos mused to himself. [color=39b54a]"Cover your ears and then follow up with Water Gun!"[/color] The Lombre covered its earholes and shot a stream of water at what would probably be the Leafage and pushed through the mass of leaves and hit Angel for not very effective damage. [color=39b54a]"Don't let up! Use Knock Off again!"[/color] Once again, the Lombre's hand crackled with black energy and charged straight at the Gossifleur to slam it down on its shiny flowery head. How does Tristan react? [hr] [@CitrusArms] Did the watchman believe her? Absolutely not. Was he going to push the matter? Absolutely not. He just watched this kid hog tie a man with great efficiency. Between all the ghosts and graverobbers, Stella scared him more. "Uh, have a good night miss." Well, that happened. But anyway! She went back in town and before stopping by the old manor and saw that there was a light on in one of the windows and a shadow waiting by it though rather than reporting back to the old man, Stella decided to call it a night after a pleasant stroll with her newly acquired Gastly. Luckily, there were some free bunks to accommodate her, so she was not sleeping out in the open that night. She could lay in bed and close her eyes and drift off into sleep. ... Stella stood in darkness. At least, she thought she was standing. There was a weightlessness, as if she was barely tethered to what she could assume was the ground. If she down there was an inky darkness and if she looked up, side-to-side then it was there as well. The only source of light was that of a pale full moon as white as freshly fallen snow above her. She could hear something, a ticking. It was not coming from any particular direction. In fact, it was coming from all sides. If she was so inclined to look for the source, she'd walk aimlessly for what felt like hours or minutes. Time was hard to grasp in a dream after all. Eventually, she would find herself standing in front of what she could assume to be a clock tower. It was tall and had a clock face as bright as the moon though the tower itself was obstructed by shadow. It just ticked, ticked, and ticked on and on. For some reason, Stella felt a sense of familiarity with it. She had seen it before, but she just couldn't place it. Not that it mattered for she had other problems. That clock ticking? It was getting louder and louder, except it sounded like it was coming from inside her head. At some point the noise became so deafeningly loud that it had lost any semblance from being from a clock. For a dream, it was strikingly painful as if her ear drums were going to blow any second. The last thing she would see was the full moon was no longer in the sky; it was now a crescent moon just below her feet. Then she wakes up, safe in her bed. What does Stella do to start her day? [hider=Currently located in...] [center] [h1]Florasong Town[/h1] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e3/ae/49/e3ae49020737da695291a9eb086d4891.jpg[/img][/center] There are two things that people experience just as they are about to enter the town. The first is the sounds of music of various genres being played along the streets by hopeful musicians. One would expect it to be a cacophony of noise and dissonance until one would realize that the musicians were playing back to one another in an exercise of improvisation and collaboration to create melodies that suited to the town's visual aesthetic. The second thing that one would experience just as they enter town is the floral assault on the olfactory senses. Everywhere no matter where one turned, there were flowers as far as the eye would see. Potted flowers, garden beds, hanging baskets, and more just about every turn. The atmosphere was joyous and festive and yet, there is a soothing feeling that one would not find in the hustle and bustle of city streets. One could find people sitting around and relaxing at the outdoor cafes that littered the town and watch not only the musicians, but visual artists paint the idyllic town. After all, this was a town famous for its artistic and musical scene. One of the crowning jewels of Florasong was what people called Aria's Park, a memorial to the founder of Florasong Town, which is a wonderous garden filled with flowers from all over the world and has many volunteers constantly maintaining it. If one isn't interested in flowers though, it was also home to many Pokemon that were attracted to the aroma and nectar of flowers. Then there were Florasong School of Music, the place where every aspiring professional musician in Evig and even the rest of the world would kill to get into though that is nothing compared to the Florasong Opera House where any musician worth their salt would try to get a chance to perform there though the competition was stiff. After all, all the street musicians were all people who wanted to play there. The opera house was also the town's Gym. Aside from that there were a few other places of interest. To start, there was a research facility that researched the Pokemon that lived in Aria's Park and there were other shops aside the Pokemart that sold some things of interest to a Pokemon trainer. There was a berry emporium and an artisanal Pokeball store. There was also a dilapidated old building that gave off some serious bad vibes. There were Pokemon that wandered around the streets. There were some bipedal rats with strange eyes scurrying around looking very shifty, constantly keeping a look out. Then there were some very friendly canine Pokemon that were laying around by the flower beds in spots with the sun shining down on them and some just walking around living their best life. There were also some red bugs that hung around the musicians that made a sound akin to that of a xylophone.

They use their tails to communicate with others. Extremely cautious, one of them will always be on the lookout, but it won't notice a foe coming from behind.[/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EVaUghO.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Kricketot, the Cricket Pokemon. It shakes its head back to front, causing its antennae to hit each other and sound like a xylophone. It chats with others using the sounds of its colliding antennae. These sounds are the hallmarks of fall evenings.[/i][/color] [/center] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QatWP62.png?1[/img] [color=6ecff6][i]Lillipup, the Puppy Pokemon. This Pokémon is courageous but also cautious. It uses the soft fur covering its face to collect information about it surroundings. This Pokémon is far brighter than the average child, and Lillipup won't forget the love it receives or any abuse it suffers.[/i][/color] [/center] As soon as Faye and Rosa stepped through the doors of Critical Capture, they young shop keeper exclaimed with joy, [color=#4fbd00]"You really did it! You are a life saver!"[/color] He had a big grin of relief plastered all over his face. [color=#4fbd00]"I heard about it from my grandfather from over the phone! Here's your payment!"[/color] [center][i][color=6ecff6]Faye received 3 Mineral Balls! Faye received 3 Steam Balls Faye received 3 Sky Balls! Faye received Critical Capture Card![/color][/i][/center] [color=#4fbd00]"Grampa wanted me to give you that card. Show this to any Pokeball craftsman in Evig and they'll give you half off on custom orders. There aren't many of us so making a friend with us makes you a friend with them all. If you bring your own materials, then you'll get even more of a discount. Just leave us your number and we'll contact you whenever they're ready."[/color] He explained to Faye. Rosa scowled at the male clerk with crossed arms and said with great indignance, [color=fff200]"Hey I helped! What do I get?"[/color] He looked at her with sudden realization and his eyes darted anxiously about. [color=#4fbd00]"Uh, I'll give you a set of custom Pokeballs. Deal?"[/color] She squinted at him in silence for a minute and then shrugged. [color=fff200]"Deal."[/color] Once that was done. There was one more thing to do.
