So, with new information on where they can find the Snubbull's trainer they proceeded to head towards the Gym, which was luckily not actually that far from where she was. What she had found was a large stadium reminiscent of a sports stadium or the colosseum back in King's Cross, something that could fit thousands upon thousands of audience members who paid good money to watch trainers of various levels of strength challenge the region's gym leaders. It was very clear that this was inspired by the Galar region's league.
The stadium had a massive screen on it though it appeared to not be operational or turned on though the Evig's League's hovered by the entrance; a Pokeball surrounded by roots and a tree protruding from the top. Yes, it all seemed completely normal... except for the sight of a fashionable blonde woman cornered by one of those strange cats with those crazy eyes that she saw earlier.
It was odd; for some reason Faye recognized her, but where? Well, that was an issue for later.
"Where's the gym leader?" She said, looking around before called out, "Can someone help?!"
@Zarkun
The elderly woman smiled kindly at him and nodded. "Very well, follow me." They would walk through the park and this time return to the typical walkway that all the other guests used. The duo would eventually stumble upon a building made from the same pale bricks that made up the fencing that surrounded the park. It had picture windows that let in so much of the natural light into the building. Outside of the building was a campus area where people of various ages wandered around, some who looked more like seasoned trainers and some that were obviously just small children barely starting to understand how type interactions work.
There were outdoor facilities that looked like they were used for trainer battles though there were none at the moment.
"And here we are. Now if you follow me, I can make an educated guess where she would be." Jason would follow her inside of the building and into a lobby. On the contrary to the exterior of the building, it was more modern, sleeker, and definitely fed the idea that whoever funded this school was pumping a lot of money into it She pushed open a pair of doors to reveal an indoor arena with several battlefields. The battlefields themselves were standard dirt fields though there were panels with various buttons by each field.
There were some kids that looked like they belonged to a class, but there were a few that looked like they were guests. They sat further away from the kids. One was a grumpy looking red headed looking boy who really looked like he didn't want to be there. He gave off a very fiery aura or in other words, a hot head.
Sitting by him was a flashy looking young man with pink hair that reached the bottom of his neck, wearing any number of accessories. One could tell right off the bat that he exuded a bubbly aura and highly excitable, kind of like a dog.
Then there was a rather plain boy with medium-longish brown hair sitting between the two boys. He reeked of mediocrity, as if he was just the essence of an NPC distilled and given flesh. He looked very uncomfortable with where he was sitting.
@Typical
There was also this girl, one that gave a frightening cold aura, the very definition of no nonsense. She looked like that she wouldn't talk to him unless engaged with.
Then on the battlefield there were two trainers standing opposite of each other. One was a girl about Claris' age with long wild blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail pinned with feathers in her hair. Her gray-blue eyes crackled exuberance and stood with confidence. From the other side was a woman in her mid-thirties with an aura of self-assuredness and elegance of carved ice though her lips curled in a warm smile. No matter what though, Jason could tell that they were not students; they exuded sheer strength.
"Oho? Now what have we here? A battle between gym leaders?" She commented with grin on her face as she leaned against the railing.
Standing between them was a woman who when she looked up curiously at the sound of the doors opening, looked at the elderly woman with wide eyes as if to ask what the hell are you doing here? The old woman just chuckled in response and waved her hand at her as if to tell her to keep going.
The woman cleared her throat and then said, "If there are no questions, may our guest battlers go to their station?"
A smirked crawled upon the old lady's wrinkled faced and she told Jason, "Why don't you go sit down, dearie? I think this is going to be a much more fun visit than I thought."
What does he do?
@Xaltwind
You really want to let little Timmy have a nuke on a rat because they were allowed to have a super powerful move? Because that's how you get a nuke on a rat.
Anyway, the Move Tutor would ask for for Evelyn's Rotom Phone. Once it hovered in front of her, his would hover in front of hers and then tapped it. If she looked at her phone screen, she would see a new app on it; a green and white Pokeball with a lightning bolt on it.
"And here we go! The Move Bank app was downloaded." He said with a grin though looked a bit perplexed when presented with the goods she found in the forest. "Oh, uh, I don't actually deal with wares, but a Pokemart would be able to tell you though apparently there's someone in the upper layer that will buy mushrooms for above market price. I think they own a restaurant. Something about them being a rare ingredient."
He glanced down at the items and inspected them. "I do know that the berries aren't worth selling, but they are useful to keep your Pokemon healthy in battle, and the stone, well, you'll get a hefty chunk probably, but it will evolve certain Pokemon, like Eevee or Gloom. Finding evolution stones in the wild are not a common occurrence and evolution items that can be bought have a high markup so if I were you, I'd keep it unless you're that hard up for cash."
Meanwhile the Growlithe would find nothing of note, besides the fact that it smelled like a forest in there.
Now what?
Also, if you do want to sell the stone anyway that can be a quick footnote.

There were various forms of intelligences so there was something that Steph was intelligent about... somehow. Maybe.
He held his hand up towards Steph as if to tell her to slow down. "Now hold on there. You talk the talk, but now you've got to walk the walk. I'm gonna start you off with something simple. You need to fish up three specific Pokemon from different parts of the city: one from the pier, one from the park, and one from the sewers. As to what they are, well, I'll let them be a surprise, but I'll give you a hint."
He began to list the hints up, lifting a finger for each one. "Here at the pier, you're gonna be looking for a fish that resembles a gun. At the park, you won't find it near the edge, so you'll need to get in the middle of the lake, and in the sewers, you are not fishing for a water-type."
He then handed her a fishing rod that was basically a stick with a lure and a few containers of bait. "Can't fish without the gear though, so make the most of it."
When you're done, just send me a text and photo as proof. Now, you got any questions?
Well? Does she and if not, what does she do?
@Goggy
Connor smirked at Sabine as they both listened to Vivian ramble on about her hyper-fixation. "Oh god there's two of you."
Sabine punched his shoulder playfully and then smiled at her like she found someone that understood her very well. "It's all good. As I said, I get like that too. It's nice to meet you Viv. Is it alright if I call you Viv?"
Meanwhile, Atlas made its appearance and sized up the wall with its robotic little eyes as if its mere existence was an insult to the Gollett. With its clenched, flaming fist, it punched the wall with all it had with a resounding pow... Atlas' received recoil from damaging the wall, its knuckles scratched up. There was nary a scratch on its pristine surface despite punching it will all its might.
Connor winced at the sight of Atlas' hand. "Oof, that's gonna leave a mark."
"Yeaaaah, I don't think it would be wise for your Golett to try that again. I think it will break its hand before it begins to scratch that wall." She returned her focus back to Vivian. "So, you got any plans or are you just winging it?"
Yeah, what exactly was she planning to do?

The Pikachu glanced back at Valerian and made a 'harumph' noise before nodding at Amelia, shedding the garbage bag off its body and tossed the paper bag on its head to the side before shaking its fur around. It then tapped the Pokeball and was absorbed into it.
Oh, the pain of rejection! Valerian surely has a long road ahead of him. So, with a regal sigh of acceptance that maybe not all Pokemon were going to want to be his friend, he would head on towards the Pokemon Center with Amelia with now filled out slots in their teams although in the case of the smol medium one was not entirely like the other just yet.
Oh, and because the GM is a forgetful dumbass, here is a level up for the following Pokemon:
Once they arrived at the Pokemon Center, they sat there as their Pokemon were in the middle of receiving their treatment. Amelia while waiting sent a text to Nils and Clarissa though they have yet to send a text back. Then again, things have been weird since Clarissa sent that strange video that was basically just static.
They soon received their Pokemon.
What do they do? Does Valerian stay with Amelia while she waits for a response or does he go out on his own adventure and leave her behind?
With Pokeballs in hand, they threw them with such precision that they smacked straight center in the swirl patterns on their foreheads and were absorbed in a beam of red light. The Pokeballs fell to the ground and began to shake.
They shook once...
They shook twice...
They shook thrice...!
@Shazamrock@Crusader Lord
And now everything had come to a still. It was funny, after an intense battle the only thing that was left was the peaceful sound of silence. As they went to pick up their Pokeballs, there was something that they had not noticed that under any other circumstances they should have been aware of as soon as they entered this chamber were not for the fact that they were on a rescue mission: there was a mural of the region of Evig painted on one of the walls though it was incomplete, the entire southern region and parts the western landmass were simply not there
There were several things odd about it, but what was odd were the symbols on them: a flower near Florasong, a sundial near Starbor, and a crown in the Jormun Trench.
Yes, many things to ponder about...
"Oh, thank god!"
Well, things to ponder about for later. The wannabe punk boy ran over to the two them and clasped his hands on their shoulders with tears in his eyes and snot dribbling down from his nose. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was gonna be char siu for those Igglypuff! I just wanted to explore man, I just wanted to be free and be my own man, not dead!"
From the distance the three of them could hear soft chanting. It sounded like, "Tuff, tuff, tuff, tuff!"
The boy almost squealed and said, "Come on, get me out of here before they get here!"
Luckily, they had a headstart, and it was only really a straight shot to get back to the small entrance they crawled through. Eventually, after taking turns with crawling through they made it back to the sewers.
Dudley stood there waiting for them and had a look of relief when he saw Nils at least. "Looks like you saved your friend and the kid." The greasy look detective said with a friendly smile.
Also, when they both returned to the sewers, they instantly received a text from Amelia that read as such, Are you both doing okay? I'll be at the pokecenter, if the two of you are stilling wanting to travel with me.
