"...I mean, I'm not a photographer." He said to himself as he watched the blonde trudge off in a huff. Well, he got what he wanted originally so he had no reason to be upset with some random girl blowing him off. 

So, Evelyn's plan of action was to train her Pokemon and the first one she was going to train was her beloved Joltik...against the Ducklets...which were water and flying type Pokemon. Oh dear. Needless to say, the Duckelts were quickly ensnared by the electric tick's electrical webs and roasted, hitting two of them at a time due to being a spread move. Frankly speaking, it was a massacre. The ones that took up the challenge were zip zapped into the lake and the smart ones flew away in a rush lest their feathers be singed by this small, yellow menace.

Joltik is now level 9! 
Joltik wants to learn Bug Bite! Do you wish to forget a move?

Now the Bidoofs... They proved to be more difficult than expected. Not because they were strong, but because a few random Bidoofs randomly had stat increases! In fact, they seemed quite Moody. One Bidoof went from stumbling slowly with its stubby legs before it had a burst of speed prior to its body glowing with an orange hue and dashed around like it thought it was the main character though was quickly humbled by Growlithe's Embers. Another Bidoof at first took normal damage from Growlithe's Embers at first too, but then for some reason its body glowed with a faint orange like the other one and just took less damage. 

However, due to the fact that these attacks were dealing neutral damage some of these Bidoof were able to slip a Tackle in, leaving Growlithe moderately wounded.

Then there were the ones that Sentret had to fight. The fights were surprisingly even, or perhaps they were unsurprisingly even given that they were each of their respective regions' Route 1 rodents. It wasn't anything exciting. It was just tackles and swiping claws, no really exciting plays to be had this early in the game. Occasionally, Evelyn would have been forced to bring in her Growlithe to help land a finish blow. Still, the Sentret was able to put in some work though because it lacked the toolkit to apply damage quickly it was heavily damaged in the aftermath.

Growlithe is level 7! 
Sentret is level 7! Sentret learned Quick Attack!

After her training session, she would see that same boy who was sitting on the rock telling her to get out of frame and that she didn't really look like a trainer. He was standing in the tall grass with his Rotom-Phone floating in front of him. His cool expression was replaced by a wide, energetic grin. 

"Hey guys, Frankie here on my second day of my Pokemon journey!"

Yeah it was worse. He wasn't a photographer, but a Chatotker.

Neither trainer could ignore the allure of one of those cute little armored Pokemon chewing on the city's infrastructure. Now thankfully these things were little tanks that could withstand non-stab fighting type moves and if Mud-Slap was used by Tors then it wouldn't have actually done that much damage because it's Mud Slap and Mudbray aren't known for having high special attack. Well, they barely withstood the attacks because they were still quad weak to any super effective moves that Lors and Sir Lopsalot had. 

Nils threw a Pokeball at the Aron he focused on and it was absorbed in a beam of red light before falling on the ground. It started to shake.

After catching their Arons and much discussion, it was decided that only Clarissa would be the one and the only one to crawl through this makeshift tunnel to find the crying Pokemon. With resolve and maybe a healthy amount of apprehension, the resident psychic knelt down and crawled her way into the makeshift hole. It was pitch black in there. She wouldn't be able to even see her own hand even if it was an inch away from her face, but judging by her direction after a few minutes she realized that she was going slightly downwards. 

With her mind's eye she was able to 'look ahead' and what she was able to grasp was that there was an open space at the end of the tunnel. A very, very, large open space. With the knowledge that there was an end in sight, Clarissa would keep crawling through this long and narrow space for what must've felt like ten minutes until she saw... light? There was a light literally at the end of the tunnel. With a final push she crawled out of the hole into an open space. An impossible space. 

Why was there light in this cave? Why was there a cave system underneath Grand Glory?

Where the hell was she?

Hidden Cavern

An ethereal glow hung in air literally lighting the enclosed space of red rock with a blueish hue. There was an energy about it, something that resonated through the air though what it was was hard to say. It was a vast network of tunnels, an eerily quiet space where even the slightest sound bounced off the walls. There was no doubt that this place had not been touched by human hands, if it was even known by the inhabitants of the city above. A fragment of another time from long ago, isolated and forgotten. 

However, those who found themselves in this strange network of tunnels would quickly find that they were not alone. As expected of a place located deep underground, there were a litany of Pokemon that made their homes here. Armored little creatures scuttled around, looking for iron ore and other bits of metallic minerals they can get their mouths on. 

Pokedex Entry #304- Aron, the Iron Armor Pokémon. It eats iron ore—and sometimes railroad tracks— to build up the steel armor that protects its body.

Then there were these little yellowish-brown shrews with these big dark blue eyes just burrowing in and out of the ground. When they noticed an outsider roaming around in their caves they would curl up into the balls as if it was a method of protection. 

Pokedex Entry #027- Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokemon. It digs deep burrows to live in. When in danger, it rolls up its body to withstand attacks. No matter how high a place it falls from, this Pokémon can save itself by rolling into a ball and bouncing.

Little funny looking rock creatures with no actual faces just wandered around though they seemed to move whenever there was noise. They kind of looked like they would make a great design for a fun looking pencil sharpener.

Pokedex Entry #524- Roggenrola, the Mantle Pokemon. It's as hard as steel, but apparently a long soak in water will cause it to soften a bit. When it detects a noise, it starts to move. The energy core inside it makes this Pokémon slightly warm to the touch.

As she took a few steps forward, the quiet was shattered by a piercing wail.

"TUFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" It echoed throughout the cavern.

Now what?

Meanwhile, as Nils sat around standing ever vigil at the hole in the wall he would get the feeling that something was watching him. As if something was staring holes into him.

@Zarkun

The Riolu continued to give Jason the evil eye, but at the very least it stood up and carefully made its way over to Jason though it looked ready to book it the moment things got iffy. However, it stood very close to Jason. It glanced down at the Pokeball and with a press from its paw, Slayer came out of his Pokeball in a flash of white light only to meet the stern glance of the fighting type baby Pokemon. It crossed its arms, looking up and down at the psychic type. 

"Lou, lou Rio lou?" It asked while giving Jason a sharp glare. In other words, it asked Slayer why he was traveling with a human. 

"Riooo Lou lou lou! Lou lou rio?!" It continued. While meaningless to Jason, Slayer understood what it said. It said, 'Mama said that humans steal from us and see us as objects. Why travel with someone like that?' 

Somehow, Jason really got the feeling that this thing really didn't like him, or at the very least seemed very conflicted by him. 

How does Slayer respond?

@Crimson Flame@Joshua Tamashii

So, uh, yeah. The medium and the prince wandered the streets to go to a Pokemart. It wasn't really hard to find one. They were like the Pokemon equivalent of a gas station convenience store just minus the dubious processed food sitting far too long in the light of a heat lamp. They walked through the automatic sliding glass doors and were greeted by a scene that will quickly become familiar to them.

Ding-Dong~! Welcome-!

Stocked shelves filled with goods as far as the eye can see! Yes, with everything that a fledgling trainer would need. Shelves lined with Pokeballs and medicinal goods were to be entirely expected though they also had little spray bottles of Repel and bundles of rope used to leave an escape path for when an intrepid trainer bit off more than they could chew when exploring a deep cavern and needed to retrace their steps for a quick way out. Still, one could not help that they were holding out on you as if you were not ready for their other more powerful goods or maybe they didn't want to make the journey for new trainers too easy? Either way, you were too poor to even afford those better items anyway. Welcome to real life. 

There were also unrelated Pokemon goods mainly in terms of snacks and trinkets though they don't have a price because they have no actual impact on game play.

While Valerian and Amelia perused the store's wares, they would notice a sign posted on a wall. 

New trainers get a free potion with their first purchase! Trainer ID required.

Whenever they were ready to pay for their goods, they could go pay at the self-check out or pay at the register if they were so inclined. 

HOWEVER! There was something very strange in this store and only Amelia with her special medium powers could detect it. There was a ghost type Pokemon lurking somewhere in this store.

Pokemarts Prices:
Pokéball - 200P
Potion   - 300P
Antidote - 100P

Now what?

Grand Glory City

Located on the north east of Evig facing the water, Grand Glory is quickly becoming one of the most populated cities within the region. The skyline is littered with buildings clawing at the sky though as one gets away from the center of the city they find themselves moving towards the suburbs. Once a haven for those displaced during the Cipher Crises, it is now a bustling center of trade and commerce thus the nickname, 'The City of New Beginnings'. Though because of the constantly increasing population there is always a demand for schools and housing and because of that there is always construction. It's one of the few constants of life within this city. That and that there are lots of Pokemon.

Despite being a newer city, there is much to offer. It has the first newly established Trainer's School in the region, and it has a small park where trainers can catch Pokemon. There were others before, but they were destroyed during the Cipher Crisis and many were left closed due to a lack of new trainers afraid to embark on their own journeys. The Grand Glory Port has a marketplace with goods from all over the world and ferries. Of course, the League Administration's headquarters is located here and contains the lab of the young Pokemon Professor Kapoc.

@Lunarlord34

The man, or well, actually everyone stared at this random red head that just spouted something with that accent so thick you'd break a knife trying to cut it, but everyone got the gist of it. This random kid with a little sentient candle with a blue flame was challenging this man with a hulking super computer with claws. Forget level difference, the size difference was completely absurd. It was a literally coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

"O-oh dear..." Freya muttered to herself while she watched the scene unfold. Frankly, the reason why she didn't stop Steph from doing something so blatantly foolhardy was because she had not expected her to do it. 

The man, however, looked at Steph in stunned silence though the corners of his mouth began to quiver. Then like a broken dam a hardy laugh burst from his chest, his hands on his hips as he howled with laughter though there was not an ounce of deride towards her. No, it was joy. 

"Now this is what I'm talking about! This kid has more moxie than any of you salty old men! That's what being a trainer is all about! Facing every challenge no matter what!" He flashed a big grin of approval at Steph, taking her challenge very seriously. "You, I like you. Steph is it? Call me Jean." He pointed a big thumb towards himself. 

"While I'd love to do a one on one fight, let's make this interesting. Bring out all of your Pokemon. You can get five attempts to land a coordinated attack against my Metagross here and if you land even one attack then it is your win. However, if you can't then it is your loss. To make it fairer, I will not attack your Pokemon, but don't think I'll make it that easy for you. Deal?"

Does Steph agree to his terms? This may be the only way she could get an actual win against an opponent as overwhelmingly strong as him.

@GremlinAgain@baraquiel

The man chuckled at Archie's innocent, but hilarious question. He gave him a warm grin and said, "Well, you could say that. When you've been a trainer for as long as I have then it comes with the territory. You'll get there someday if you eat right and work hard enough. Gotta say though, both of you did a good job at beating this guy. It's not everyday you see new trainers pull something like this. You both got promise!"

As they walked out of the alley and into the streets they would only in a few minutes find the old lady whose purse had been snatched by Sven. She clasped her hands together in appreciation and said with all of her heart and her lungs, "Oh thank you so much young man! How could I repay you, Mister...?"

The man smiled and waved off the praise nonchalantly. "Basil, ma'am, but it was these kids who fought for your purse back." He gestured towards Archie and Audrey with the wave of his hand. "I'm just on cleanup duty."

Now that was a familiar name. Didn't they hear that name somewhere today?

"Oh!" She turned her attention to the duo of novice trainers. "I'm so sorry! Here, let me make it up to you two! Here's a reward and I will not take no for an answer!" The old lady fished around her purse before she pulled out two shiny little golden spheres and then placed one each in their hands. 

Audrey and Archie received a Nugget!

"Well, all's well that ends well. Cops should be here soon." Basil said as the thief groaned unconsciously while being held on his shoulder. "Okay, he's actually heavy." He grabbed one of the Pokeballs attached to his belt and with a click of the button a massive red gorilla thing with fire for eyebrows appeared. 

Darma! It called out happily as it loaded the thief onto its own shoulder.

The Rotom Phones hovered in place and read out the following entry:

Pokedex Entry #555- Darmanitan, the Blazing Pokemon. The thick arms of this hot-blooded Pokémon can deliver punches capable of obliterating a dump truck. This Pokémon's power level rises along with the temperature of its fire, which can reach 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Basil glanced at the Rotom Phones in surprise and then back at the kids. "You're one Kapoc's kids?"

How do they respond?

@GremlinAgain@Goggy

The receptionist jolted in their seat and looked at the two girls standing in front of them. Well, it was more to due with the absolute chilly gaze that Claris gave her. More trainers? There were stragglers? "Oh Kapoc is not gonna like this..." They muttered to themselves as they pressed some buttons on a desk phone. "Professor Kapoc? Oh hello, it appears that you have two more... Oh you were already aware? Shall I notify Director Beck and Champion Brand? Yes, of course, right away." They hung up and underneath their breath they muttered, "Damn coffee addict..."

The receptionist took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Professor Kapoc will see you right away. First door to your right. Good luck."

The girls would walk towards another pair of automatic sliding glass doors and they were hit with the overwhelming smell of coffee. It smelled like the good professor was roasting his own coffee in his own laboratory. Other than that, it looked like every standard lab that could be imagined; sterile with white and metallic surfaces with machines making weird noises and colors. It was most likely best to not touch them. 

They would find a man standing by a desk with a desktop computer sipping from a comically sized cup of coffee. The man had red, sleep deprived eyes or at least eye as half of his face was hidden by long bangs. His face was scruffy with facial hair though if one were to look past the deep bags of sleep under his eyes and that he really should shave, he looked quite young to be a Pokemon Professor.

Just imagine him with red irises.

He glowered at them looking as if he was already just sick of the day, or maybe he really just needed a nap, or both. "You're late, after I explicitly told you two to get here 8 AM sharp." The professor took another sip of coffee while silently staring them down. "Vivian, you already informed of your... mishap. So what's your excuse Claris?" The grump asked with the usual sense of charm and tact, which is zero, but that is the usual amount.
