[@Remram][@Joshua Tamashii] Anise looked a little surprised at Basil’s talking about her as a bodyguard. Anise took a deep breath, looking like she was focusing away some exasperation, raising a hand to rub between her eyes a little before looking towards him once again. [color=e04f4f]‘… That was a joke. The bodyguard thing… was a joke. I was poking fun at you,’[/color] she explained, very simply. Note that Anise had delivered said joke with the exact same cadence as anything else she says. Then he explained the rest, and… [color=e04f4f]‘Right. Yeah, sounds like you’ve got an unusual Pokémon on your hands. I definitely would ask your professor about it, or so. Still, with Stillwood Village being the most peaceful place on the continent, more or less, I think we might be pretty safe here, at least,’[/color] Anise said. Meanwhile, her Pokémon had gotten bored and were now playing around chasing each other around her, like Mienfoo jumping for the Meditite that then just floated up in the air above it, and then Riolu tried to do a sneaky jump at it from behind. Basil suggested she stay and catch Amelia up while Basil look for clues. He got another confused look from her. [color=e04f4f]‘But, I was going to head there, too? Besides, I can explain on the way. Or right now. It’s not that much. Or maybe it is. I guess I better get started. I could explain as we walk,’[/color] Anise took a deep breath, and then looked to Amelia. [hider=If she wants to listen][color=e04f4f]‘So, what happened… Basically, once upon a time there was what was referred to as “a beast of rain” that rampaged. It was calmed, but it could one day appear again. There’s a prophecy passed down where I come from. “When the Strong One is reflected in the shrine’s mirror, the beasts will revert to their true form, and nature will be calmed”. This refers to a special mirror hidden in the Abandoned Shrine. I was trying to identify what the prophecy was referring to, in preparation for when the beast rampages again. So, Lorette, the Gym Leader of Highhill Town, sent me Basil here so we could figure out some things together. Long story short, we tracked some clues and found there was a hidden shrine in the caves by Rainrock City. It was behind a wall that could only be passed by the light of the mirror. In there we found the legendary Pokémon, Landorus, who gave the full story in full. Apparently, once upon a time a hurricane was approaching Highhill Town, and someone prayed at the Silent Shrine for safety. Something answered, and called upon three beasts that together quelled the storm. As thanks, each was given a shrine to reside in. They’re apparently the reason it rains around Route 3 all the time. But, these two the brothers of Landorus, will eventually rampage again. So, apparently Lorette asked us to bring Landorus back to Deepforest Shrine so he could deal with his brothers, but she was very cryptic about it, so Landorus escaped after giving us two of these berries,’[/color] Anise said, lifting up an unknown orange berry identified by their inventories as Abundance Berry. [color=e04f4f]‘My mission is now to hunt down Landorus and bring him back. In order to do that, I need to become stronger. But before any of that, me and Basil agreed to meet again here in Stillwood Village so that we could ask about the berries we were given.’[/color][/hider] [color=e04f4f]‘Do you have any questions? Do you want to head with us to the Berry Garden?’[/color] Anise asked. [hider=Stillwood Village][center][h2]Stillwood Village[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/NDG5NfG.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/Y9bCCki.jpg[/img][/url][/center] Inside these calm forests lies a village completely in-tune with nature. The buildings are built around or in the trees of wood and stone, the light shining onto the village stifled by the great trees above. In the air, meeting your nose as soon as you tread into the village, is filled to the brim with the smell of forest and spores. It’s a wild smell, but somehow it is extremely relaxing and any worries seem to be stifled before the calming village ahead where everyone is always so calm and happy, wild Pokémon walking freely on the roads of the place. This is Stillwood Village, the most relaxing place imaginable, it’s people in touch with nature and wishing the best to all those who come to their cozy and ancient little home. Wild Grass Pokémon freely wander the streets, spreading their spores into the air which the townspeople actively walk through every single day. They are all smiles, very helpful, the entire village and all visitors afflicted by the relaxing sensations brought by the spores during their stay in Stillwood Village. However, these spores are the reason quite a few avoid Stillwood Village, arguing that it messes with one’s mind. It is extremely rare that a member of Stillwood Village moves out of the village, after all. It will also quickly become evident just how little the members of the village care about the world at large, all their worries gone by the relaxing spores and just continue living, no troubles in the slightest. That’s Stillwood Village for you.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Stillwood Village]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can still search for Pokémon in cities~[/i] 2. Talk.
