[@Remram] [color=9fa1b6]‘… Spurr…’[/color] Espurr sighed out, just so exhausted, that it just sat down where it was, relaxing where it was after Basil’s encouragement. When Basil turned to address the crowd… [color=green]‘What? Who’s Kalma?’[/color] [color=yellow]‘Is this guy some form of big-shot?’[/color] [color=purple]‘Ooh, we’re witnesses!? This was some kind of big event!?’[/color] There was a sudden reminder that the people of Stillwood Village are some of the people least concerned about what’s going on outside their village in the entirety of Isson. Regardless, as being the people with the absolute least going on in their lives as well, they were also the ones with the most time to stick around. Some of them ran off, though. So, he called Kalmia. She was out on a walk with various Pokémon on the PC. [color=82c6cf]'Oh, hey, Basil! How’s it going?'[/color] she asked, before he started outlining what was going on, vaguely. [color=82c6cf]'Are you alright, Basil? What happened?'[/color] Well, apparently he wanted to tell that on the spot, so… [color=82c6cf]'Okay. I’ll call him. I’ll be right there.'[/color] If he waited on that spot… Suddenly a massive something fell from above. As far as Basil could tell, it fell down from the very top of the trees that cloud the skies of Stillwood Village. Looking up at what landed, it turned out that what came falling down was a giant Pokémon.

Famed for its most beautiful flower that will wither and rot if not given constant care. It is a symbol of status to have a thriving Lilligant with a blooming flower. Despite this, it is famously the most beautiful when it blooms in the wild. The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] It was far, far bigger than what a Pokémon of that species should be. On top of the Pokémon, a small boy walked up. [color=2fbdb6]'Heeey~!'[/color] the boy called. [color=2fbdb6]'I got a call from someone saying not to let anything happen to the boy in the market, so here I am~!'[/color] And in case Basil wondered who that was… [color=green]‘Archie! The Gym Leader is here!’[/color] [color=yellow]‘Lilligiant is as impressive as ever…’[/color] [color=purple]‘Huh, I guess this is the real deal, after all.’[/color] The people around were more than happy to say. [hider=Archie][url=https://i.imgur.com/SlypTED.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/SlypTEDl.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] The giant plant falling from the sky was enough to make someone else run into the scene and stop short, wondering what the heck was going on. The red-head frowned, looking over the scene, before looking over at Basil. [color=e04f4f]'… What have you been up to?'[/color] Anise asked, clearly feeling left out. [hider=Anise, if you forgot how she looks][url=http://i.imgur.com/aIlwGgb.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/iupf2qF.png[/img][/url][/hider] [color=65c9bf]‘Excuse me? I was told there was a crime scene?’[/color] … One of the villagers had called over the police girl from the police station that Basil visited, who had come over with her Granbull behind her, however… [color=2fbdb6]'Nooope~! There’s someone else coming to deal with this! Until then, leave this scene to me~'[/color] said the young boy Gym Leader to the actual police officer. [color=65c9bf]‘Uh… I see,’[/color] the officer said, looking not entirely convinced by that and is just going to stick around for a bit just in case. Espurr was just content where it was right now. [hider=...] [i]Level 57[/i] [/hider] Eventually, after a while of waiting… a giant prehistoric dinosaur suddenly swooped in above them, breaching through the treeline, descending down. On its back, as elegant as always, stood a man in a suit and a tophat, seemingly completely stable despite having just been on the back of a giant flying monster.

A Pokémon who roamed the skies in the age of dinosaurs, it has today been regenerated from genetic material found in amber. It’s a savage creature that is known to go for the throats of opponents with its sharp claws.[/i][/color][/center] [hider=Jacques][url=http://i.imgur.com/J00l2z8.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/mWbF5M3.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] [color=EF284F]‘Basil, hm? To be summoned here without being told why, I must say. I am eager to hear what brought you to summon an Elite Four to your location, fu-fu,’[/color] Jacques said, effortlessly stepping off the flying dinosaur onto the ground. [color=2fbdb6]'Heeey~! It’s top-hat-guy!'[/color] Archie waved from on top of the Lilligant. [color=EF284F]‘Archie, thank you for looking after Basil until I could get here,’[/color] Jacques said, bowing to Archie. [color=2fbdb6]'It’s the least I could do~'[/color] Archie replied, smiling so widely. Not entirely as graciously, the familiar form of Professor Kalmia carefully slipped off the Aerodactyl, having arrived at the same time but clearly not as gracefully. [hider=Professor Kalmia][url=http://i.imgur.com/pTMU74j.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/g8Un9zH.png[/img][/url] + lab-coat as described, because professor[/hider] [color=82c6cf]'Of all the ways to travel fast…'[/color] she sighed. However, she refocused on the task at hand. [color=82c6cf]'Basil! I called Jacques, and he then gave me a ride here,'[/color] she explained. [color=82c6cf]'What’s the situation?'[/color] There was also a third passenger that had travelled on the (pretty large) Aerodactyl. Stepping off on the opposite side of the dinosaur compared to Kalmia and Jacques, was a girl with pink hair, wearing a dark dress, and had a Seviper following her every move. She watched warily at the other two directing their questions at Basil… [hider=the girl][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/PVbTDtf.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/PVbTDtfl.jpg[/img][/url][/center] [center][url=https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/ae/0336Seviper.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/uo7sfQ5.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #336 – Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon. It hides in grass and strikes unwary prey with venomous fangs. It whets its bladed tail on rocks to prepare for battle, said blade oozing of horrible poison. It shares a generations-long feud with Zangoose, the two rivaling species battling endlessly throughout history.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] Anise is just going to take a moment to process this. Could be Basil told her something before the rest arrived. What does Basil 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]
