[@Xaltwind] Poark...? Most likely a spelling accident, but I'm watching you. Well, spelling aside, Evelyn would do her best to make sure not to disrupt the garden in any shape or form. There actually was a sign that explicitly stated that plucking a flower out carried a fine that had more zeroes that neither Evelyn nor I, the narrator, would care to know. So instead, our aspiring model decided that it was in fact time to scour the park and go around carefully as to not to disturb the other parkgoers. This included the Pokemon who in fact, were just as lackadaisical and relaxed in this serene environment. Walking through one had to admit that it was strange. It was only spring and yet all of these flowers were not only in bloom already, but there were flowers that should not be blooming until summer! And there were plants she recognized to grow in her own hometown of Evertide, plants that leaned towards more tropical that were now hundreds of miles north in a much colder region of Evig. But then again, if she knew nothing about flowers then perhaps it was nothing strange to her at all or if she even cared to notice it. After all, she was on her own little quest for the uncommon Pokemon the park. In that way Evelyn would be rewarded. She occasionally saw plucky blue bird that did not know when to quit or when it was out matched. Evelyn even stumbled upon a piece of fruit that was not even fruit at all!

Taillow courageously stands its ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy Pokémon will remain defiant even after a loss. On the other hand, it cries loudly if it becomes hungry.

Because of its sweet, delicious aroma, bird Pokémon are always after it, but it's not intelligent enough to care. Its sweat is sweet, like syrup made from boiled-down fruit. Because of this, Bounsweet was highly valued in the past, when sweeteners were scarce. [/color][/i] [/center] [hider=Suggested Actions] 1.

[hr] [@baraquiel] A wide, tooth grin spread along Robbie's face as Archie gave his spiel about uncovering the truth. [b]"Well, I suppose if you enjoy what you do then you never work a day in your life!"[/b] The older farmer chortled at the boy's enthusiasm for his role as a detective. He scratched his chin in thought, completely unbothered by the child's attempt to glare at him menacingly. The man worked with angry Tauros and Miltank that were sometimes grumpy and not willing to be milked, so the literal child's attempt at being intimidating went completely unnoticed. [b]"Well, the first time it happened was at night, about three days ago. I was returning after doing the rounds around the Tauros pen when I saw that the door to the incubators was slightly ajar."[/b] He scratched his chin as he recounted that night. [b]"The last one was last night, and we were more on our guard then. We actually laid a trap out for them, but there was the commotion with Danny getting his leg nearly squished by a Tauros when chasing after the thief."[/b] The farmer shrugged and said, [b]"That's all I got. You know, the one thing that's shocked me is that they've been able to get past the cameras pretty easily. I always wondered how they were able to do that."[/b] Meanwhile, as Bravos examined the material he would smell something very familiar, the scent of the ditto. Just as he did, footsteps thumped behind him. [b]"Well, you sure aren't a typical guest. What'cha doing here?"[/b] A young man knelt down to the Chespin with a grin. For some reason, Bravos could detect the scent of the Ditto from him. What do both do? [hr] [@Lunarlord34] I... What sort of shit fuckery is this? People from the shore would watch as this red-headed girl in a Swanna boat wrestled with a Basculin fiercely because it turned out no matter how timid the Pokemon, they typically had no desire to be manhandled by strange women. The boat began to rock back and forth, and Freya grabbed the sides of it tightly and gritted her teeth nervously. [color=ed145b]"Uh, Steph? I don't think this is a good idea!"[/color] She called out with nervousness tingeing her tone. The Basculin, being a three foot long and thirty-nine-pound fish or for those metrically inclined one meter long and eighteen kilograms and, well, it certainly packed a punch. The boat shook violently as the fish struggled to release itself from Steph's grasp until a particularly hard thrash caused the combine weight of Steph, Freya, and the Basculin to lean into one side. [color=ed145b]"Steeeeeeeeeph!"[/color] Freya called out before the tacky plastic boat poured the three of them out into the lake with a splash. The black-haired girl broke the surface with a gasp for air, her long hair clinging to her face as she looked around for Steph who by some grace of God was still wrestling the Basculin. At this point, it was a question of who would tire out first; the Pokemon or Steph. Violent splashing could be seen and heard throughout the park, drawing even more attention by the people in the park to watch this girl wrestle with a fish with bated breath. Eventually, the splashing would stop, and Steph could proudly lift up the exhausted fish over her head.

With a stiff lip, he said, [color=e6755e]"Sure, let's go. Some people I'm traveling with are hanging around there... Not sure what's so great about some old, creepy buildings..."[/color] He muttered the last part to himself with crossed arms. His Scraggy looked up at him and chuckled at its trainer's obvious discomfort. So, with things being pushed along to their natural progression, everyone would make their way down to the ruins, some once again. Dilapidated clay buildings worn down by time covered in green moss loomed over them. Some of them barely had any walls or even a ceiling and some were just a singular column either standing or broken with a jagged end pointing up to the sky like spears. There was a stillness to them, a reminder that whatever this was long ago, was now a fragment of a time long forgotten by history and the people of this region. A stillness that came from a lack of life. Well, that was not entirely true. As they walked through the ruins, they would see bits of walls with strange markings pop off from the wall and float before a shadowy figure emerged from the slab. They would look at them curiously before meandering to haunt these ruins though some of them took a special interest in Amelia, floating around her with great focus. [center][img]https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/pokemon/562-g.png[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #562 – Yamask, the Spirit Pokemon. A clay slab with cursed engravings took possession of a Yamask. The slab is said to be absorbing the Yamask's dark power.[/center][/i][/color] What else resided in these ruins were strange levitation top-like Pokemon with their arms spread out as if to balance them. Their eyes were closed and yet they could somehow tell where they were going. [center][img]https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/pokemon/343.png[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #343 – Baltoy, the Clay Doll Pokemon. It moves while spinning around on its single foot. Some Baltoy have been seen spinning on their heads.[/center][/i][/color] As they continued to explore the ruins though she would enter what she would assume to be the middle and there would find a strange sight. Various walls towering over some of the ruined buildings with strange glyphs and runes she had never seen before even in her own history books though perhaps what was odder were the walls themselves. They were black with an impossible smoothness and sheen, reflecting daylight like the most perfect mirrors. However, they were not alone. There were others hanging around the ruins, a couple of kids around her age to be more precise. Well, one of them for lack of a better word was a boy dressed up as a cowboy and not unironically either. This young man radiated the aura of the wild west with utmost sincerity and looked like he should have been casted as a leading man in a western. The other was a dark-skinned girl with wild curly hair dressed like she belonged in the early 90s grunge scene with a red flannel and baggy jeans. Vivian though knew them as Sabine and Connor. [hider=Connor and Sabine] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/8c/89/23/8c892300b4bf2171d87b7ec360ebf82c.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/7f/cd/48/7fcd48e299faf8a5b626ec9cc80a1621.jpg[/img] [/hider] Connor turned around when he heard a bunch of footsteps approach from behind. His brows took to the air when he saw Vivian again though this time with an entourage. [color=0072bc]"Oh hey Vivian, didn't expect you to be back so soon... or with so many people."[/color] Sabine turned back and a smirk played on her lips. [color=#a32f1d]"And it seems like they brought the scaredy cat along. Heeeeeey Frankie~"[/color] She waved teasingly at him. Frankie just hid behind his bucket hat in embarrassment.
