[@Joshua Tamashii][@Remram] [color=f59a95]‘Phew! That went better than I thought!’[/color] the nurse said, looking honestly impressed with how well it had worked. [color=f59a95]‘Do come back if there’s any, um, unexpected side-effects,’[/color] she said, looking just the slightest concerned towards Amelia before seeing them off. They then found and attracted the attention of Anise, who blinked a little at being called by Basil first. She was quickly onto her feet with a respectful nod, her earlier concerned expression going away. [color=e04f4f]‘Basil. I’m glad you-’[/color] she started, then immediately halted when she realized how he looked. [color=e04f4f]‘What in the world happened to you?’[/color] she instead asked with a concerned frown. [color=e04f4f]‘But yeah, everything’s fine.’[/color] Basil explained the bit about Amelia, and Anise now turned to look at the young girl, looking a little curiously at her. [color=e04f4f]‘Hello, Amelia. I’m Anise, and as mentioned, I am Hector’s disciple. Nice to meet you, too. You’re a long way from Witchpeak, huh,’[/color] she said with a nod. Of her Pokémon, Froakie looked up at her in concern, Meditite gave a gentle smile and a wave, Mienfoo gave a happy little cry, Riolu copied his trained and gave a polite nod, while Zigzagoon stared up blankly at her before skipping forward to smell at her shoes. Probably looking for something to steal. [color=e04f4f]‘… Tell me if he’s bothering you,’[/color] Anise said about the very curious Zigzagoon. [color=e04f4f]‘Right. I told my family and Hector that I would depart on this trip. My goal is to find Landorus again, prove myself to him, and bring him to the others,’[/color] she said, then glanced down at her team, who also gave concerned looks back. [color=e04f4f]‘... Though, in case it becomes a fight, either against him or the others, I’ve become conscious of the fact that perhaps I’m specializing in the wrong type,’[/color] she mumbled a little quieter, seeing how those were all flying Pokémon. Probably. [color=e04f4f]‘That aside. We came here to see if we could find out more about these berries. That was the case, right?’[/color] Anise asked Basil but also glanced down at Amelia. [color=e04f4f]‘Have you told her what happened?’[/color] What would they say / do? [hider=Stillwood Village][center][h2]Stillwood Village[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/NDG5NfG.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y9bCCki.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Inside these calm forests lies a village completely in-tune with nature. The buildings are built around or in the trees of wood and stone, the light shining onto the village stifled by the great trees above. In the air, meeting your nose as soon as you tread into the village, is filled to the brim with the smell of forest and spores. It’s a wild smell, but somehow it is extremely relaxing and any worries seem to be stifled before the calming village ahead where everyone is always so calm and happy, wild Pokémon walking freely on the roads of the place. This is Stillwood Village, the most relaxing place imaginable, it’s people in touch with nature and wishing the best to all those who come to their cozy and ancient little home. Wild Grass Pokémon freely wander the streets, spreading their spores into the air which the townspeople actively walk through every single day. They are all smiles, very helpful, the entire village and all visitors afflicted by the relaxing sensations brought by the spores during their stay in Stillwood Village. However, these spores are the reason quite a few avoid Stillwood Village, arguing that it messes with one’s mind. It is extremely rare that a member of Stillwood Village moves out of the village, after all. It will also quickly become evident just how little the members of the village care about the world at large, all their worries gone by the relaxing spores and just continue living, no troubles in the slightest. That’s Stillwood Village for you.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Stillwood Village]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can still search for Pokémon in cities~[/i] 2. Talk.

Very well,’[/color] the man said, nodding to Skylar. [color=85765a]‘An admirable goal. It is quite possible that we’ll see each other in Witchpeak City, yes. We have an office there. If you wish to find us, you can find us at this address…’[/color] Skylar was given the address to a location in Witchpeak City. [color=85765a]‘We’re not always there, as we’re often out on the field. So maybe I should give you this, too.’[/color] … along with general contact information. [color=85765a]‘I wish you luck on your journey.’[/color] he finished with, before the two parted ways. So, Skylar headed back to Raremine Town… [hider=Raremine Town][center][h2]Raremine Town[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/saVwpPm.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/rhaACBx.png[/img][/url][/center] [right][sub][sub][sub]no cat-eared girls here, sorry[/sub][/sub][/sub][/right] Raremine Town is a moderately large, bright town on the edge of the only desert in Isson. By some twist, the largest mineral deposits in the land is located right under the desert, making it an attractive place to build mines. From that, Raremine Town naturally sprung into being as a merchant town on the edge of habitability from where the mineral could then be delivered to the rest of Isson. The temperature is hot, sun blazing down on this land where plains slowly become desert, the atmosphere dry and unfriendly… yet, life and trees blossoms among the buildings of Raremine Town. The ground is still the grass from the Vast Plains, with buildings on top of them. The modern houses stand tall with plenty of architectural skill put into them, tools for building and living sold inside the houses. Everywhere, one can see workers walking about, but they’re happy workers, with their families living close at hand in the town and with the finest equipment available. Oh, and of course, plenty of Pokémon that assist with the finding of ores and such! The trees, which appear to have been planted and grown all over town by the residents themselves, gives plenty of homes for local Pokémon to live. Overall, it’s busy, with people walking and talking all over, an active town indeed.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Raremine Town]1. Find Pokémon.

He crossed the desert to get back to where he was previously… only to find something he might not have been expecting. It was probably hidden before, but not far from where he’d previously been, there was a very, VERY localized sandstorm. It was taking place on an encircled flat area of sand, and within it, two people were facing each other. Of course, Skylar couldn’t actually see what was going on in there. However, just as he came close… [color=f75423]‘Hahahaha! Well, what do you know? You did it!’[/color] Kristy chuckled as she returned her last Pokémon, and also moved her goggles as she did. The sandstorm slowly cleared, revealing who it was that had been fighting the Gym Leader. A dark-haired girl in a white outfit and wearing glasses, looking absolutely stunned at the scene before her. [color=b5e6e2]‘I… I did it…?’[/color] she asked, and promptly collapsed onto her knees, panting a bit. [color=b5e6e2]‘… Oh, my goodness… Goomy, you’re the absolute- You did it! We won…!’[/color] she fell forward and embraced a damaged-looking slimeball dragon that still gave out a victorious cry. [color=ae93bc]‘Gooooooooooom…!’[/color] [hider=it is][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/ZOa4kVb.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/XyjJyiW.png[/img][/url] [/center] [center][url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/28/704Goomy.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/cUevniO.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #704 – Goomy, the Soft Tissue Pokémon. Known as the “weakest Dragon-Pokémon”. As it’s composed mostly of water it lives in damp, shady places so its body doesn’t dry out. It’s covered by a slimy, slippery membrane that makes attack slide off harmlessly, but they’re very sensitive so touching it is like a shock to it, leaving it unable to move.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] [color=f75423]‘Hehehe… Didn’t I see the two of you together earlier? Wanna share your victory?’[/color] Kristy asked, her gaze trailing to the approaching Skylar. [color=b5e6e2]‘Huh?’[/color] Vivia made a confused little noise, looking over towards him. [color=b5e6e2]‘Oh! Skylar! I! I won!’[/color] she said, sounding absolutely amazed that she did. [color=b5e6e2]‘It came down to my last Pokémon… but Goomy pulled it off…!’[/color] [color=f75423]‘Yeah, haha. You’re on your way to getting pretty strong, I think. That was some trick you just pulled…’[/color] Kristy chuckled, before turning her attention to Skylar. [color=f75423]‘Well. I assume you’re here to make this a double feature? Your friend here kind of solved the Gym Puzzle for you, but, heh,’[/color] Kristy gave a smirk to him. [color=f75423]‘Do you want to fight me, too?’[/color] she asked, putting one hand on her hip, smirking, and holding out a Pokéball towards him. What does Skylar say?
