[@Valkan]@Project@TheIrishJJ Now that I'm back, I'm able to potentially moderate the battle. I just thought it was an excellent idea that you could finish the battle despite me being missing. But now that I've seen the relative lack of progress there... Is it still the case that you believe you've got this or will you post it and then I can do what I do best from here on out?

@Pyromaniacwolf Gotcha. @Eklispe@Pikmin Eye I'll post as quickly as I can after Pyro gets his post up.
@Pirouette There's a number of assumptions in your post, you can decline any of them. Like Joshua being let to carry Sno, following them down to the lake, and so on. You're not obligated to follow any of them just because I wrote it into the post.
@Joshua Tamashii As well, you don't have to listen to this guy. He didn't do his job correctly. Hahaha. Anyways. You're on Route 1, now. A place already below your level. Haha.
@Rune_Alchemist Soooo, I'm still going to have the limit that a Pokémon can only have one held item at a time, even if they're physically and logically able to wear as many headbands as they're able. That's actually to everyone, but yeah, for this thing. And of course, all Pokémon can wear/carry all items, even if they're Voltorbs. Somehow.
Now, then. Onto more things. I have a document about new trainers fighting I need to actually read.

Dorian listened to her reply, and nodded to her decision. ‘So it isn’t. I would not enjoy such a battle, either.’ He replied, as he sat down again by his vase-in-progress. As he sat down, the Snorlax seemed to take that as permission to slack off, and fell over with a loud crash against the wall, falling asleep. That wall was apparently sturdier than it looked, and no works of art was occupying that particular space.
‘Good luck on your journey, Amelia. When the time comes, I will accept your challenge.’ So he said, looking to her, before continuing to work on his vase. And so, Amelia was free to move out and get going.
‘Aaaah! You! New trainer!’ Right outside the Gym, this young man (who’s still almost twice the age of Amelia) came running up to her.
‘I’m supposed to be here to warn new trainers that this is a Major League Gym! I am so sorry for being late on the job today!’ He clasped his hands together as praying for forgiveness from the young girl. The following is only information if she wants to hear it.
‘So, uh. I’m supposed to tell you that, this is a Major League Gym! There are eighteen badges of Isson, one for each type, and they’re each sorted into Major and Minor League Gyms! If you have collected eight badges of any League, you’ll be able to compete in that League at the Pokémon League! The winner of the Pokémon League then gets to challenge the Elite Four for the chance to become the Pokémon Champion! … Though, that’s mainly for Major League. The Minor League Champion is expected to proceed to the Major League after, but ranking high in Minor League still comes with quite the rewards! But, the Elite Four and the Pokémon Champion have the right to set up an official battle for the title on their own, it’s just that the League winner is entitled one!’
‘So, this is the gym of Dorian, Master of Normal. The Normal-type is a powerful type with few weaknesses or strengths, but you can play that to your advantage! No Pokémon are weak to Normal, so just bring your best! So, technically, Normal’s weak to Fighting and unable to harm Ghosts, but thinking that Dorian doesn’t have means to counter such is foolhardy. There is a reason he’s called “The Master”. It’s a tough battle ahead that few can overcome! …’
‘But, uh, seems like there was no battle.’ The man says, breathing out and looking over Amelia and then inwards. He sighed in relief. ‘Thank Arceus, that would have been terrible.’ He then smiled at Amelia. ‘Heading on to another Gym, then? I’ll see you there!’ He smiled, happily, letting her on her way.
So, fastest route to Highhill Town is through Route 1. No caverns along that route, just a straight line. It’s the main path in or out of Pureplain City. So, following the main roads Amelia would eventually find her way…
So, now she’s on Route 1, with patches of tall grass, the woods to the left, the roads on the right, the drain in the middle and gentle roads that ensure one would safely be able to get to Highhill Town with no complications of one so chose to. What would Amelia do?
Connected areas:
Pureplain City. Right behind you.
Highhill Town. Requires crossing the route.

‘Ah.’ Anise blinked a little in surprise at being offered a number. ‘Um, okay. And here’s mine.’ A somewhat surprised Anise offered to exchange numbers both ways. She nodded at Claire’s statement. ‘Alright. I’ll call you if I need help. Okay.’ Seems like she understood things well enough.
‘Wait.’ Anise said before they all left. ‘So, um. I feel a little bad about ambushing you, so… here, take this.’
She handed over a headband with flames depicted on it, to be worn by a Pokémon.
‘A Pokémon wearing or holding this band will sometimes have the willpower to resist a move that would have finish them… assuming they can overcome the embarrassment of being seen with it.’ Anise said, nodding to Claire. ‘Good luck.’ She continued to say, as Claire left. Anise remained under the roof of the shrine, hiding from the rain and reflecting on things.
It rained quite heavily now, and without umbrella Claire would find herself soaked. Travelling back to Redcoast City, the clouds suddenly stopped, as if she crossed a line where the influence of the clouds no longer reached, and based on what she just had heard, that might very well be the case. So, back to the sunny city of Redcoast.
And with that, she headed back to the Pokémon Center.
The Pokémon Center is filled with bunches of people who’re discussing Pokémon things, trading Pokémon across the world on the floor above, or just getting themselves healed. Here as well are people in fairly fancy clothes apparently using the Pokémon Center as a place to meet up and talk about things, perhaps pertaining to the vacations one often have in this city. Meanwhile, the nurse is happily healing people’s Pokémon.
… Thoooough, there was someone she knew in line in front of her before Claire could get her Pokémon healed. Yepp, that’s Yvonne, having three Pokémon healed.
… Except, she didn’t look as confident right now. In fact, she looked like she was in a complete daze. She hadn’t noticed Claire coming in. She was just having her Pokémon healed. One of her hands was held forward, palm upwards, and she was staring at what was in it.
Claire’s free to react as she pleases. Otherwise, here’s the usual list of things one can do in Redcoast City.
Connected areas:
Route 11. A semi-populated road east under heavy rainfall, where it quickly reaches a steep climb towards Rainrock. Abandoned buildings on the south side facing Silent Forest.
Route 15. A simple walk down to the beach, where the sea leads on towards the Sacred Grounds.

Joshua practically beamed as he was appointed for some form of duty. He had Pikachu jump up onto his shoulder to get his hands free.
‘Sure! Leave it to me! I’ll carry Sno for as long as you want to!’ He said, offering his hands. Assuming that Erika then handed Sno over, Joshua accepted with awaiting arms and-
‘Of.’ He clutched with a slightly surprised face. Apparently, she weighed more than he expected. Pikachu looked at him with mild surprise before Joshua manufactured a smile.
‘I can deal with this. Onwards!’ He declared. Ewan merely shook his head a little and then continued.
Then the three people with the ladder came through. And then Erika stated she wanted to see where they were going.
‘Then what are we waiting for? Let’s follow them!’ Joshua grinned at this and started moving after them, while Ewan folded the map because they clearly weren’t going to follow it for a little time ahead.
The three people carrying the ladder went up on dry land again following the right direction in the crossroad. Here, it led forward to another split. To the left was a slight descend, down to a shoreline of water and a light which appeared to come from the sun. Straight ahead was a shallow water-passage where Surskits were flashing back and forth across that led deeper. Then to the right was a dryer path into a rocky but darker tunnel, darker as a straight consequence of less water, and in there were noises of rocks crashing together, there was plenty of movement in there.
‘Left here!’ The man in purple called.
‘Left it is!’ The hiker confirmed.
‘We’re going left!’ The girl chimed in, happily.
And so, they turned left, and headed down. From here on out, everything will be in a hider just in case Erika feels like going elsewhere, but if she follows them down the slight hill to the water below, into the tunnels that seemed to be touched by the light of what appeared to be the outside…

Claire obtained Focus Band!

@Pirouette Nicely posted. ... Oh, wow. Snorunts weigh quite a bit, eh. Well, they're actually pretty big from these metrics. Heh. Anyways. Ancient Pokémon, as in those which can be recovered from fossils? Yes, ancient Pokémon are in the world. We've already seen an Aerodactyl and a Shieldon. But, if your question is "are they found in the wild"... ... ... Feel free to ask someone with one where they got it. Haha.
Alright, I'll see if I can make the time to post tomorrow. I'll be somewhat busy today. Day after tomorrow at the very least, in case I only get progress tomorrow.

So, uh, I'm being mentioned but I am a little confused as to what to react to. They're on the roof, right? Though, yeah, one of them just jumped down and started beating up gang-members. Huh.
Hiya, I'm back! ... But the next few days promises to be busy. Oh, well. I'll see when I can get answers in. In the meantime...!
@Pikmin Eye Alright, nicely posted. Yupp, then we just need...
@Pyromaniacwolf Hey, how's it going?
@Pirouette You haven't actually posted, huh.

Hello, this is PlatinumSkink, on a phone, using wi-fi, early in the morning!
@Valkan That, is a sensible strategy. Touching Spheal while he's rolling (which I'd say significantly boosts his speed), even with a Tackle, would hurt significantly. So, dodging and tail-whipping. Nice. Nicely posted.
@Joshua Tamashii Alright. That is sensible of you. Snorlax knows Crunch. XD
Yupp. Nicely posted. There's no cave between here and Highhill Town (though, it may always be good to have one XD).
@Rune_Alchemist Teh-heh. Alright. Nicely posted. This phone has already detected I like to write "posted" after "nicely" and offered a shortcut. Technology! Anyways. Heading onwards on the trip while Anise gets your number. I'll figure what she'll do with that later. I mean, I know the details of this particular thread, but how to incorporate calling? ... So many options. Haha. But that, for the future. Now, onwards!

I'll note that the last paragraph of the "The World" section of the character creation document detail that humans without magical abilities tend to simply forget it happened even if it happened right in front of their faces. It writes that they'd flee in terror, rationally, if confronted with a werewolf, yet afterwards they'd rationalize it away as something mundane and never bother about it again. Then it says about organizations built of people with some higher innate magic who do remember, but yeah.
If we're using that.
If we're using that.
@Rune_Alchemist Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.
This could be a good time to say. I've put ALL Pokémon barring those from Sun&Moon onward on Isson. And I do mean ALL of them, as well as any items that might come with them. HOWEVER, I may tweak their stories and functions a little to serve my purposes. Yupp.
@Eklispe *snicker* I thought you'd react like that. My apologies for laughing before, I just knew exactly how Karl would react. Anyways. Nicely posted. Let's see what the others say.
@Pirouette And there you go. If you'd like to just follow the ladder-carrying party then you can inform so, and I'll just assume you follow them the rest of the way. And, yeah, as long as you're there I'm going to have Joshua and Ewan be a bit indecisive because you're the player. Yupp. And it's... 19 18 16 minutes before I have to leave. So, see you in a week.
@TheIrishJJ@Valkan So, are you happy with how you're currently playing or would you like me moderating? My thought process was that, like this, you could finish the battle while I'm away. Possibly do the whole battle in PMs and then post it in full when done, or collab on titanpad or meetingwords. Yeah. I don't know if I got a response on how you'd- EH, give me a call if you need me. Otherwise, have fun!

‘Why, of course! We can handle them together!’ Joshua smiled to Erika as Pikachu and Sno together froze and electrified the Zubats. They were promptly handled, and they started scurrying, but not before Joshua had thrown a Pokéball at one of the injured ones. The ball fell and started to shake, but the Zubat was unable to escape and got caught.
‘Yes! Got it! Poison and Flying type, covered! And I happen to know the second stage evolves by friendship, my speciality!’ He celebrated, quickly kneeling down to Pikachu and letting him jump into hug. ‘Way to go, little buddy! You handled them like a pro! You’re the best!’
‘Pi-pikachu~!’ Pikachu looked really happy with the praise, being petted by his trainer. Anyways.
‘Alright.’ Ewan nodded about that they were going to follow the map for now. ‘Then to start with, this way.’ He said, pointing right, into the flooded route among the first three options.
‘Heh, no getting through Wet Caverns without getting wet, eh?’ Joshua smirked, as that meant both dry routes wouldn’t lead to the exit. He then threw a look at Erika, specifically on what she was wearing, considering. ‘Would you like me to carry you above the water?’ He offered, a silly smile on his lips.
‘You’re not actually strong enough to carry her the whole way. Let her wander on her own two feet.’ Ewan stated without actually looking as he wandered towards the wet part of the cavern.
‘Haha.’ Joshua just smiled at that, scratching behind his head a little awkwardly.
So, the three then headed through the wet portion of the cavern, occasionally fighting off more Zubats. There were a lot of them, but they were weak. There were also some Goldeens in the water, which could get angry if they got in the way but they could keep out. They could then continue wade through the waters of the cavern, lit by the light from the water.
They were approaching another crossroad. To the left was the continuation of the river. The Goldeens were swimming away from there. The tunnel made some kind of S-shape, curving first left and then right after a bit, making looking inside the wet tunnel a difficult venture.
The right went up on dry land again, and then led onwards until the road looked like it split again further in. There were some rocky sounds coming from that direction, silent cracking of rocks on rocks. That seemed to be it. Ewan was about to point out where they were to go, when… Loud splashing was approaching from behind?
‘Excuse us!’ Said by a rough voice of a middle-aged man with a jolly nature.
There were three people, dashing through the water. One was a bigger guy with a big backpack and green jacket, looking like a man used to traversing the mountains. The other two were much more fancily dressed, a girl with two long cyan curly twintails for hair and orange suit with skirt on her, while the last man was dressed in all purple with orange lines and a red cape, for whatever reason. They were looking excited, running at full speed, and they were pulling along a positively enormous metal ladder folded several times yet still had to be carried by all three.
‘Coming through!’ The girl called, focused only on what was in front.
‘Thanks for wiping the Zubats!’ The man in the cape called out to them. Joshua and Ewan got out of their way due to how weird this seemed, while Erika was free to do as she pleased. Assuming, however, that she didn’t block their way for any reason, they’d run by and to the right, running up onto ground and carrying on. Ewan looked after them and then looked down to the map.
‘That’s not the way through.’ He informed, though the three clearly had a destination in mind. This meant following the river to the left was the correct way. But… yeah, these three went to the right. Joshua and Ewan looked a bit confused now, by these people’s appearance. What would Erika do?
‘Why, of course! We can handle them together!’ Joshua smiled to Erika as Pikachu and Sno together froze and electrified the Zubats.

Pokédex Entry #118 – Goldeen, the Goldfish Pokémon. With its fins flowing elegantly in the water like an underwater dress, it has been called the Water Queen. However, take heed, as it’s known to ram its powerful horn into things in its way. It swims up rivers in schools when the weather grows warm.
They were approaching another crossroad. To the left was the continuation of the river. The Goldeens were swimming away from there. The tunnel made some kind of S-shape, curving first left and then right after a bit, making looking inside the wet tunnel a difficult venture.
