[color=00a99d]"Ah, you must be a new trainer if you don't know about it. Allow me to explain!"[/color] He said eagerly. [color=00a99d]"You see, typically when Pokemon get stronger they will naturally learn moves, but there are methods of teaching moves they can never learn in nature. This can happen with Technical Machines or TMs for short, or in this case, with a Move Tutor. For a fee we can teach them new moves if they can learn it and even have them remember old moves. Heck, we can make them even remember moves that they never even remember having! Evolution can be weird like that."[/color] The move tutor continued their sales pitch. [color=00a99d]"We also have an app that allows you to swap out moves that your Pokemon may have learned over the journey, even tutored ones. Say you want to change a Pokemon's move-set for a particular challenge, but you already sunk time and money into it? Well, with the app you swap moves in and out as much as you want though it only works with moves that it learned previously. You're gonna need to come here and get those extra special moves hidden in them!"[/color] He gave her an apologetic smile and then said, [color=00a99d]"We reserve teaching stronger moves to stronger trainers though. It's kinda a bad idea to give any Youngster Joey's Ratata some powerful move.

[b]"Mimu..."[/b] Its shadowy hand reached out and grabbed hers gently. Perhaps it was because of the promise of friendship and companionship as well as the act of kindness that it has repeatedly received from her, but it nodded its head (torso?) as if to accept her proposition. With a gentle press of a Pokeball, it would have been absorbed into the Pokeball though unlike most instances the ball didn't even shake.

It was the most-vile side eye that Valerian has and would ever receive from either Pokemon or person before it walked over to Amelia. Now there was something that was perhaps difficult to notice before given that it was surrounded by ghosts, but this particular Pikachu held a ghostly potential inside of it, one that could perhaps flourish under her care as a ghost-type specialist. Perhaps that was another reason why the Mimikyu they fought thought it was one of them except in bad cosplay. [b]"Pika pika. Piiiiika chu. Pika pika chu chu."[/b] It said with a deadpan expression and even tone. While Amelia would have no idea what this Pikachu was saying, it was fair to assume that she would've gotten the gist. It would have translated to something along the lines of [i]Can I go with you? You seem more reasonable. I don't even mind if that one tries to kill me, just get me away from him.[/i] It was also still wearing the garbage bag still. So, what do either of them do?

He looked at her as if she had Clauncher's crawling out of her ears. [color=0072bc]"Uh, what static? Maybe you were just imagining it?"[/color] He suggested with a nervous smile as if he was talking to an unwell person. The girl by him gave him a look before focusing back on Vivian. [color=#a32f1d]"Well, I certainly have always held an interest in history though this place is a mystery to me, and to every other archaeologist. What they do know is that this must have been constructed around the era of the first king of Evig, the Great Unifier, the Conqueror King that gathered all of the nomadic tribes that came to Evig under one banner 3000 years ago during The Great Unification."[/color] The cowboy crossed his arms and arched his brow at the girl's knowledge. [color=0072bc]"Huh, you're pretty knowledgeable about Evig history for someone not from here."[/color] She tilted her head back to look at him with a smirk. [color=#a32f1d]"And why is it a Paldean more well versed in your own history? Didn't you learn this in school?"[/color] [color=0072bc]"Well, I..."[/color] He shifted uncomfortably where he stood trying to find an answer when he knew very well that he was just caught out. With an air of satisfied superiority, she glanced at Vivian before looking at the surrounding ruins. [color=#a32f1d]"Interesting place though, isn't it? A place within our grasp and yet we know nothing about it. Then again, almost all records of the era of the first king were wiped. We don't even know his name beyond that he is the first Hadrada, but we know enough that he existed and he did unify the region. What's just as puzzling to me is this wall."[/color] She gestured towards the alien wall. [color=#a32f1d]"There is no known recorded language that's even similar to this and engraved on this material no less. I heard when they tried first tried to collect a sample of this wall they broke their tools. Pretty sure tungsten couldn't even scratch the surface. It's odd, isn't it? It's like it's from a different time, a different place, and yet, here it is among what's left. What I would give to know its secrets..." [/color] She almost had that same look Vivian did, a passion for the past and the lives for those that had come before them looking to decode what was lost to the erosion of history. However, she looked like she realized that she was probably on the cusp on giving a lecture and smiled embarrassedly. [color=#a32f1d]"Ah, sorry. I get a bit chatty when it comes to ruins and all things old and dusty. My name is Sabine and mister Spaghetti Western over there is Connor."[/color] Connor shot her an annoyed glance. [color=0072bc]"First of all, that is offensive. Second of all, what she failed to mention is that we are one of the many assistants to Professor Kapoc. We had a third guy with us, but he's out on Route 4 recording Chattocks. Seriously, how many assistants does a guy need?"[/color] He brought his attention back to Vivian. [color=0072bc]"So, you've got a name?"[/color] How does Vivian respond? Connected Areas: Grand Glory City Starbor Forest [hider=Suggested Actions] 1. Find Pokémon.

The Pokemon in the pens while initially wary of the two eventually warmed up and ate out of their hands. However, both Archie and Audrey would notice that there were cameras placed on one fence posts on the pen. Upon being asked if they had called the police said, [b]"Well, of course we called the police. The problem is that they haven't been able to figure out how they did it. They just stole whatever they could grab though we had the Torchic eggs locked up with extra security, so they haven't been able to get in there yet. Only a matter of time I suppose."[/b] He shrugged as if accepting the fact that they would lose more Pokemon before they caught the criminal. Seeing that the two kids were eager to check out the facility where they store Pokemon eggs, he gave another shrug. [b]"If you want to look so badly, I suppose there's harm in it."[/b] He walked them over to another facility on the farm, not very far from the pens though nothing really was that far in general. This building though was not very farm like; it was very sturdy and well insulated with no windows. It looked quite impregnable. On the door was a key panel that looked aged those some keys were more worn than others, in particular, the 4, 6, 7, and 0 keys. However, he didn't press them this time and with a beep the door unlocked. Neil opened the door for them and inside there were rows of eggs in incubators [b]"Well, here we are. Take as long as you need."[/b] Well, what do Audrey and Archie do? What do they want to ask or look for? [hr] [@Lunarlord34] Asta's cheeks flushed further in embarrassment when Steph gave her silent encouragement and then looked at her as if she wanted to try and tell her that she had the wrong idea though she remained silent and just followed along with the rest of the group. Said group would watch with various expressions of amazement, concern, and indifference as Steph ordered more food than what a person could typically eat and then just scarfed it down quickly like a god damn cartoon character. Were they going to pretend that it never happened? Yes, absolutely yes. Anyway, the fisherman squinted his wrinkly eyes at her. [b]"You're pretty blunt about what you want, I respect it. No need to beat around the bush."[/b] He said, fully turning around from where he was sitting. He was sitting on a cooler. What was the cooler for since people weren't allowed to eat Pokemon in Evig? Who knew. [b]"I watched your battle with that guy earlier. Good stuff. You may actually be what I am looking for."[/b] He nodded with crossed arms as if he made a decision. [b]"The name's Daryl. Here's the deal, kid. I am looking for someone to pass my knowledge onto, but kids your age are barely interested in the art of fishing anymore. They're so busy on their Rotom Phones with their Chattocks and U-Tubes, having their attention spans shrivel up by instant gratification that they cannot even begin to fathom the idea of sitting peacefully and fishing the day away. Even my grandkids won't fish with me anymore..."[/b] He muttered the last part rather bitterly though focused on Steph and pointed a gloved finger.. [b]"That's where you come in. "I am going to provide you with a series of different challenges and when you complete them as a set, I will reward you with a different fishing spot each time."" [/b] How does Steph respond?

The mud was consumed by the fireball, seemingly unweakened by it, and Scrapper with as much bravery he could muster jumped through fire. Needless to say, it was a burning and painful experience coursing through the flames and under any other circumstance it would have probably knocked the little trash bag out. However, perhaps that Mud Slap did enough for Scrapper to just hold on by a thread. A very, very stinky thread. Tors would have also ate the brunt of the attack, suffering a great amount of damage from being consumed by the fire, but the Mudbray did its job. Scrapper shot out an Acid Spray, green globs of green liquid shot out forward towards both of the Igglybuff because Acid Spray was also a spread move. Neither puffball expected them to actually just take the attack and were caught off guard, allowing Scrapper's attack to land. They both recoiled in pain from the super effective damage and looked weak enough where they could be caught. What do they do?
