Many people are going to and from places of business. You stare at a random one. She seems a little freaked out and speeds up a little before continuing shopping.

Hm. Must not be a trainer! You should try around gyms and hotels in cities.

Let… him out.

"Sense any sort of entrance?"

 No.2414

Mismar feels about the wall but detects nothing. He must lack the mental acuity necessary to detect hidden doors.

You walk through town and spot a lot of psychic options. In that tree… a flock of Natu. Down that alleyway: a spoink! There, floating down the boulevard, a Solosis. In the eaves of a building, you spot a Woobat. Not far from here, a Mr. Mime and Jynx are carrying something off. On a stump in the park, you spot a Meditite.

You nearly step on the conveyor belt when he calls out: "Hey! What are you doing? That's a huge safety hazard! Use the bridge!"

Hey, on the projector in here you recognize the item GYM LEADER WILL's Zigzagoon was holding! It's a Choice Band!

Hm… Choice Band increases the power of an attack by 50%, but makes it so you can use no other moves! It seems that Disabling that Pokemon would cause it to use Struggle, the hidden move that all Pokemon know and use only in times of desperation.

Hm… you watch the slideshow for a few other items. Choice Scarf and Choice Specs are similar, but boost Speed and Special Attack.

There are healing items too, like that Leftovers Snorlax was using. Shell bell lets you lifesteal on any attack…

Some enhance damage, like the Muscle Band that increases physical attacks by 10%, or that Metal Coat Clyde has – 20% damage for Steel moves.

Some seem to be designed for certain Pokemon, like the Zen Headband for Darmanitan or Monitor Sash for Slakoth and Slaking.

It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whiskerlike antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil. When it nears time for evolution, it moves toward the sun to fill itself with power.

**Special Note: When Nincada evolves at a power rating of 20, it will split into two Pokemon. If you have space in your party for both, they will both join you.

You hike up to Sapshire. This pleasant town is full of wooden buildings – many of them well coated in a thick layer of webbing.

The modern PC system was founded 27 years ago by then-Champion Balder. It guarantees every trainer, certified or not, access to Pokemon storage. For an additional cost, you can get access to more boxes. Under section 6 of the Pokemon Box Reform Act, Tianxia offers an alternative to box storage for trainers willing to pay an additional monthly fee to cover upkeep costs. Trainers that upgrade to this Luxury account will have their Pokemon stored outside the confines of a virtual box and instead on a free-range farm on Route 4, where the stored Pokemon can freely run and play without being cooped up in a box.

The guard in the gatehouse doesn't stop you. He's pretty fat and just gives an interested look as you walk on by.

Even though it is night and therefore pitch black save for the few lanterns here, there are a lot of people out, many of them in loose coats and robes. The whole town feels pretty sketchy… a bad neighborhood. Across the street, some coated people whisper conspiratorially.

At least the Pokemon center is up ahead…

Huh? Clyde hit it!, and it's fleeing! Your world snaps back into focus, and the reality where you're being chased fades – it's some kind of huge dark type, but it fled. It left behind a little cloud of aimlessly wandering Inkays.

On that note, I just have a few procedural rules to go over before we start. Please throw away trash into trash cans, not on the floor. Please do not leave the designated tour path – we have live Pokemon on site and they can be spooked by strangers! At times it may appear you are looking through glass, but oftentimes this is a one-way mirror to prevent Pokemon from being startled by tour groups…"

She nods. "Thank you, Blink!"

They're pretty beat, so you went to heal. A bunch leveled too.

Not in here… you go through a few more rooms, and finally the tour comes to its last room.

"Unfortunately it looks like we didn't get to see Professor Orange out in the lab today, but here you can see his great achievement, which will make Tianxia the most important region in the world. The Pokemon Prof has been able to alter an Everstone to have special properties that actually reverse evolution! Professor Orange calls this a Return Stone.

What did you think the 'wild' part of wild Pokemon meant?

It was super effective! Drowzee used Hypnosis.

"The Return Stones are not for sale. There are very few of them available, and they are all being used for research. Everstones are just one component that goes into the development process."

>>3119
This is a pleasant and relaxed town where the pace of life seems slow. The buildings are ancient and traditional, and made of wood - some with paper walls. Even the clothes people wear follow the traditional style of robes – though there are a few exceptions, wearing more modern clothes.

There are a lot of Bellsprout here, though they mostly seem owned by trainers. They are popular here.

Or… Adventu e Es ent als, anyway. Some of the letters are missing.

>>3130
"Er… okay, then. Well, you can leave your resume at the desk. In any case, unless there are any more questions, this concludes the tour. Have an excellent day!"

>>3131
You inquire after the manager and head to the back.

"Look, I'll be honest – the title 'Stylist' is being pretty generous. We just need someone who can cut hair without looking ridiculous. We're being overrun in the busy season. Can you cut evenly?"

It's a large, floating piece of metal. It's probably propelled by science. The shrine guard gets off, and…

You get on, and the water level begins to lower… soon a door opens, and the buoy floats out onto a big, underground lake. On the other end, you see a faint light and the silhouette of a man.

Venom gives you a curious look.

You wander for a time, but your search is interrupted by a Pokemon!

Never mind, then…

Heal back up, Mismar to front. Let's go to route 9…

Roll #1 5 = 5

 No.3319

>>3311
Wow, pokémon making art? Watch them work!

 No.3320

>>3317
"Makes sense."
Is Needlenose the only one who will benefit from this guy at the moment?

 No.3321

>>3320
None of them will because you have no Blue Shards.

>>3319
They slowly work their vines to create calligraphic symbols.

Various symbols meaning
Unity
Togetherness
World

are created.

>>3318
Route 9 it is!

You're greeted at the gate by a guard. "Welcome to Route 9, the reserve route. You have a license to hunt here?"

 No.3322

>>3321
"Afraid not. May I pass through anyway?"

 No.3323

>>3321
Oh, well then.
"Interesting. Do all of you focus on types?"

 No.3324

>>3322
"You can, just don't stray from the fenced area. Buon viaggio!"

 No.3325

>>3324
Let's go through.
Let Mismar out to walk with me.

>>3323
"I cannot speak as to any other Move Tutors – I do not know of any others."

"Well that's a shame. Thanks anyway, Wallie!"
Time to get out of here and get everyone fixed up.

 No.3328

>>3327
Do do dododo

>>3325
This route is well-kept. On the other side of the fence you see various traditional starters – even Eevee – playing out in the open. Guards patrol the route you walk.

 No.3329

>>3328
"Eevee, even?"

Keep walking.

"Wonder if we should come back to have anyone here join us sometime. What say you, Mismar?"

 No.3330

>>3329
You find it hard to figure out what Mismar is saying, lacking a frontal mouth or eyes. Still, you feel a bit closer after that last win.

 No.3331

>>3321
Wow…
Look at what the students are writing!

 No.3332

>>3331
They are all similar. It must be a unifying ideal.

 No.3333

>>3330
Let's see if we can make it to the next city too soon.

"Anything you like?"

 No.3334

>>3332
Interesting…
Anyone who doesn't look busy that I could ask where Corwin is?

 No.3335

>>3333
You glance longingly at the tram running above.

Mismar glides about.

 No.3336

>>3328
Let's pop erryone out.
"All right, guys. Take a knee…well, maybe just you, chompers."

 No.3337

>>3334
There appears to be a student teacher checking the work of others.

>>3336
Chopshop gives you a confused look but bends over.

The rest gather about you.

 No.3338

>>3335
"Imagine, Mismar, in the future, when we've gained enough power to do what we like. I'd like to catch a lot of pokemon and breed them for other trainers. Study them while they grow. I imagine I could help the populations of these restricted pokemon."

Let's keep going.

"More importantly, I wonder if the thoughts of the gyms and the shrines could be somehow merged? They're both flawed. Incomplete."

 No.3339

>>3338
You're nearing the gate.

Mismar seems indifferent.

 No.3340

>>3337
Ask him!
"Excuse me, I'm looking for someone called Corwin?"

 No.3341

>>3340
"Yes, he is the master of this school."

 No.3342

>>3341
"Great! Could you point me to where he is? I want to challenge him to a battle!"

 No.3343

>>3339
"Should the time come, maybe we'll even be the mark for a new kind of thought! Who knows. Maybe I'll name it after you…"

Let's get to that gate.

 No.3344

>>3342
He sizes you up. "I'm not so sure he'd want to see you."

>>3343
You finally arrive… It's Covalent City!

 No.3345

>>3337
I take out the badge book…case…thing and show it to them.
"Lookit that. Our first badge, but that was the toughest fight we had yet. If Heinz hadn't pulled us out of the fire there and the end, we might not have this now. But I'm still proud of all of you. Are you up to try for some more?"

 No.3346

What kind of pokemon do they have around? Walk about a bit.

"What? Why not?"

 No.3348

>>3346
There are no wild Pokemon here. You see some Furfrou on leashes and the like, but it is quite unlike your home in Amber City or Phlox where wild Pokemon can be found in the streets.

>>3347
"You're a Ringer, aren't you? I can tell, just by looking."

>>3345
Heinz dances about, and Chopshop flexes.

Needlenose seems pleased, Millie seems distant.

 No.3349

>>3348
"… And? What does that have to do with anything?"

 No.3350

>>3348
Well, that is boring. Go check out the gym.

 No.3351

>>3349
"I don't think you'd understand anything he had to say. But maybe you can prove me wrong? Here…"

He hands you a scroll and a bottle of ink. "You have two words to write about what Tianxia means to you. Make them count."

>>3350
It's next to the state school. This gym has columns inlaid with eighteen colored gemstones: it's the composition gym.

 No.3352

>>3351
Team Composition! The staple of battling is knowing how to ally your pokemon with each other…

…and I'm sorely lacking. Go inside and have a look anyway.

Make sure I have something to let the scroll rest on as I write 'Home soil'.

 No.3354

I smile at them.
"Good to hear, you guys. We'll do much better next time."
I rub Millia's head again.
"I'll try not to ask so much of you next time too. I'm sorry."

 No.3355

>>3352
Inside the gym, there are a number of trainers and their Pokemon battling or getting ready to battle. Doing exercises, working out typings.

>>3353
He checks your scroll and shakes his head. "Totally wrong. Maybe you should get some perspective… connect with your Pokemon, make some new friends. Grass types understand art the most."

>>3354
Millie shrugs at you.

 No.3356

>>3355
Feel a slight chill.

See if I can ask a staff member if there are any activities for… non-challengers.

 No.3357

>>3355
I frown at him.
"How do you know what it means to me?"

 No.3358

>>3355
I smile.
"You're a real trooper, you know that? C'mon."
I recall everybody and turn south.

 No.3359

>>3356
"Activities? Like what?"

>>3357
"I can see it in the way you write. You hesitate, your brush slips, your strokes are uneven. It's all wrong – like I expected from a Ringer. Not to mention you just spat in my face for giving you advice. What I get for trying to be nice to a Ringer, I guess. I'm done with you."

He walks off.

>>3358
You are facing south. In front of you, the doors to the Pokemon Center. Outside the doors, you see the edge of town and the beach.

 No.3360

"Like… lessons, demonstrations…"

"That's more of an academy thing – next door, in the state school."

This is a large academy dedicated to general trainer studies, with an emphasis on composition. You can go inside.

In the light of the afternoon, you see mostly fishermen on the beach.

Just one girl, you're not sure if she's a trainer or not, but she's headed for Fogmire. She left the gates around the time you did.

Yanma fainted!

Got 250P for winning. Lola reached level 13. Lola wants to learn Pursuit.

"I'm not actually a challenger, I'm a planted staff member to make sure you're ready for the gym. By the looks of things, your team is a little overleveled for your first gym."

>>3602
You could just ask at the desk like a normal person.

Instead you wander off with Heinz to find a place to get cleaned up?

In any case, there's a public hot springs nearby you could bathe in… although you have no swimwear.

>>3603
She shrugs. "I couldn't figure it out when I was practicing with Durant. Maybe some city trainer would know. Or your Pokedex?"

>>3604
Before you stands a mansion – or rather, a small collective of mansions. A large engraved mailbox reads: Bosworth Estates. Looks like someone was rich enough to build a bunch of mansions for their whole family. They look a little run-down now. The yard is covered in stumps and wild pumpkin patches that have grown unchecked.

Or I could do that, yes. I'll just go on in and stop at the front desk, and then ask about the going rates.

The staff member shrugs. "You can't win every battle. Do you think you would challenge the Champion of the Pokemon League if he said you wouldn't ever get all eight certifications? You know most people don't: it's enough to get three or four for most trainers. You have to be a real vagrant to keep wandering and never settle down for a whole eight certs. Have you ever seen the Opening Ceremony in Hero City?"

You return to the gym. It looks like the leader is free right now.

>>3620
Phantump used Confuse Ray!

Kala was Confused!

>>3621
They're popuated by locals. Looks like six or seven people. They're… coed. Looks like country folk aren't uptight about privacy laws. Then again, you consider that it's probably much less tempting to oggle out in the countryside, since unlike in the city where there are plenty of civilians, pretty much everyone out here has a Pokemon. You don't relish the idea of a Heatran staring you down for watching a local MILF a little too closely.

Even with the tails in the way, you struggle to keep eye contact, though you maintain it. Being a kid with raging hormones is tough! At least you are well protected by the darkness of night water.

Kala is surveying shiny things in the room. You suspect Kala has a Covetous nature.

The furniture in here is arranged… very… VERY oddly. There are couches and chairs set up in this room in such a way that your path is blocked from going anywhere but to the stairs… there's a grandfather clock nearby that you can see: it reads 11:11.

She chuckles. "I get it now… you're one of those Phlox kids… maybe I'll see you at my shrine later…"

It's dark, but your teenager eyes strain as she unabashedly rises from the water before you before picking up a robe and slipping it on. You're too stunned to react before she's gone, but she parts with a, "See you soon, kid."

…Was that the Crimsonborough Shrine Keeper?

>>3685
It comes out really cute!

"Hey! You're good at this? Where did you learn to be so artful?"

You wonder if all those days you spent at the calligraphy school helped. Then again, they say grass types know more about art than any other type.

"Congratulations! You've defeated me, young trainer, and earned your First Certification! You are on the road to success in the Pokemon League Challenge officially, starting today! Come here, and I'll stamp your trainer card. Also, I'd like to award you this: a Confusing Concoction! If you have a Pokemon hold this, it will start the battle confused, but its affection will grow faster. By dampening its senses, you can make any Pokemon love you – a breakthrough in bonding science."

Got 2000P for winning!

You traverse the road safely. However, on the way you see those weird purple lights from before. Are those Hex Maniacs back, summoning Litwick?

You could ignore it and safely arrive at Phlox.

What the Ferroseed draws cannot be called letters of any kind. However, he retracts his spines, and rolls in what you're surprised to see is a perfect circle. Absolute confidence, no shaking, no hesitation.

"Interesting… I'm always fascinated by the expression of Pokemon before they become familiar with language and symbolism. There's something primal about it. Wild. Natural beyond fathom. And this answer… even though it is clearly not a word, is a right answer."

"Witch Hill, eh? What are the stories behind it? Anyone go missing lately?"

 No.3902

>>3907
He nods. "It's good that you're here… Chikorita feels something."

It's only now you notice the little figure next to him, vines wrapped around his legs.

Suddenly, he nods. "Our library is in danger. Please, walk with me. You may ask the questions you have come to have answered."

He opens his eyes and walks to the back door, sliding it open, and walking down a dirt path to a separate building.

 No.3909

>>3908
… What.
Alright, follow him!
"What's endangering your library?"

 No.3910

 No.3911

>>3909
"I have my suspicions, but I am not sure yet. Please, do not worry yourself on my account. Ask your questions while we work."

He slides open the door to the building and leads you down a long hallway, and he arrives at a great wooden door.

 No.3914

>>3912
"That is a question that cannot be satisfactorily answered here. Instead of giving you a poor answer, I will give you a scroll when we are finished here."

He points inside. The library is swarming with Caterpie devouring the ancient scrolls of calligraphy!

>>3913
"I see… so you're storing a ghost that manipulates electronics inside an electronic device. Do you suppose that's wise?"

 No.3915

"Oh no!"
Send out Wilbur!
"How will we drive them all away?"

 No.3916

"While in the box, it shouldn't be able to affect the system itself, though I imagine it'd have fun if it were. Hahaha."

Shrug a little, though he does raise a good point.

"I had better check, in case."

Go back to the pokecenter and… swap out Yiman for Ampere.
