Oh, right. Her accent.

Kapoc sighed and loosened his grip on Steph's arm. It hasn't even been a full day since this girl became a trainer and she's already gotten herself in this mess.

Upon looking around, he noticed the injured Sneasel that his little sister was holding. His eyes narrowed as he looked back at the assault victim and then back to the Pokemon. It looked like he was starting to put some pieces together on what exactly was going on, albeit he was missing some vital pieces of information. "Freya, what exactly happened?"

Due to the laziness of the GM, Freya recounted the entire series of events that led to this moment from Steph's Pokedex being stolen to the thief injuring his own Pokemon as a distraction in an attempt to get away. The more he heard, the more contorted with rage his face became until one would think that this man looked more demonic than human.

"So that's what happened... And he did that to his own Sneasel." He said through gritted teeth, his eyes were now trailing back to the thief and stepped towards the criminal.

There was a loud crack. The professor had swung his leg in a low roundhouse kick against the thief's head, which then smacked against the pavement hard and was now completely out cold. Kapoc glared at the unconscious thief and spat in his general direction. His messy, long black hair was somehow even more disheveled now. The white-haired young man and Freya just looked at the professor in complete wide-eyed, mouth gaping shock as they watched him now pick up Steph's Pokedex and handed it back to her.

"Don't lose it again." He said so nonchalantly that one would not think he just cave some dude's head in like it was a football (or a soccer ball).

"What the hell Cedric?!", exclaimed both the white haired young man and Freya at the perpetually tired looking professor. It was less of surprise and more on the along the lines of, 'God dammit, not again.'

In response, he simply shrugged. "I'll deal with it. Besides, I'd rather not stop her journey when it's just beginning.", he said while pulling his own smartphone out. It looked like he made a call to the proper authorities for this matter. Judging by the way he spoke, it seemed like he had some pull within the law enforcement. Professor Kapoc sighed and looked back towards the person that was accompanied by when they entered the scene.

"Sorry Basil, we'll catch up later." He pushed his hair back from his face and did his best to at least look somewhat presentable for when at least the cops arrived.

"It's fine. There's always next time, whenever that is." said Basil who didn't seem annoyed, but more disappointed. He turned his attention to the two girls. "Come on, let's make ourselves scarce. You and that Sneasel need some patching up." It was probably no surprise to Steph, but her knuckles were very raw from beating that guy down.


@samreaper

The person that Tristan approached was a man that seemed to be in his mid-forties. His messy short, black hair was showing signs of graying early and his skin in a perpetual state of farmer's tan. He wore a very durable looking button-down shirt and dark brown pants that also looked like they could take a beating. In comparison to Neil, he was far scrawnier, but one would expect that this guy's body was pretty damn strong from all of the farm work. That and he was one arming an entire bale of hay.

His attention was turned to the kid wearing nice clothes and yet, was also wearing some very worn, dirty black boots. "Yup, we heard from the boss. Not sure why he'd offer the job to a kid like you, but these are desperate times I s'pose." He said, tossing a bale of hay onto a truck. It did not escape his notice that the kid's nose crinkled up though he didn't blame him. No one is going to come out of a far smelling like a rose. Tristan examining the worker's clothes also did not escape his notice, but he let it slide.

The kid then asked a pretty odd question, but okay then.

"Well, it's more to personal preference than an actual uniform. Some of us prefer denim, some prefer canvas, but it must be something that is durable enough for all seasons and protect us from the sun. You also don't have to mind getting a little bit of mess on it too."

Now the man wasn't dumb. This line of questioning and the context lined up way too perfectly. He narrowed his eyes and asked ever suspiciously, "Is there a reason why you are enquiring about our work clothes?"


@Zarkun

Considering the level that Spinarak evolved into Ariados, perhaps it would be a good idea to finish their business before they ended up on the wrong side of a web.

The bug-maniac arched his brow in a mix of what could be described as surprised and somewhat impressed that Jason actually knew about Scythers.

"How astute of you. I didn't think that you would know what they are considering their rarity." In fact, it was even more surprising that Jason would know what they are because the only regions that they do not appear in was Hoenn and Unova and even then, in the regions they live in they are hard to find. Then again, the internet was a thing and there were shows and battles that air on television or streamed through many services, so it wasn't that farfetched if that's how learned about it.

But yes, you would be correct in your assumption. We have strong evidence to believe that Scythers are beginning to repopulate the area. They used to be more abundant and cleared out the webs though due to their decreased numbers the Spinarak have had the run of the place since. He said, motioning to the myriad collection of webs that littered the woods.

Meanwhile, uh, Connor looked a little self-conscious as it dawned on him that between the three of them, he looked like he had no idea what they were talking. The bug maniac made sense, but Jason started around the same time as he did, so he just felt a bit behind the curve. "Y'all are making feel kinda dumb. What the heck is Scyther?"

"If we're lucky, you'll find out soon. That is if they don't find us first." Responded the bug-maniac. While they walked, the maniac would observe things such as footprints, slash marks in the trees, and... uh, actual shit to see if there were any of these bugs nearby. Connor too was looking for similar things as well.

What does Jason do?

@Zarkun

"Very well then. Let us depart."

The bug-maniac lead the duo away from the group of his compatriots. They went down another path and the further they went, not only darker did it become, the more of a mist cloaked the surroundings. What's more was that it was obvious that they were walking up a steep incline, the terrain itself was becoming rocky with sharp cliffs and running waterfalls crashing down to rivers below.

Deep Starbor Woods



Deep Starbor Woods was a place that many actively avoided and perhaps for good reason. The mist that permeated the area cutdown the visibility within the woods and somehow, the canopy above was thicker than before, making it darker. This was a tad big dangerous as there were some drops that if someone were not paying attention, they would find themselves with some very broken limbs or fall in a river down below. That is if they don't fall in some webs and find themselves on the wrong end of a hungry bug-type. Actually, people just needed to be careful of these webs in general as they were littered all over the place.

Due to the lack of people travelling and lack of people volunteering to enter, the path that led to the Deep Woods was essentially now just a dirt, rocky path covered with moss. Yes, this place was not exactly a place that experienced a lot of foot-traffic in general, but that meant that there were possibly encounters that people had limited experience about or never had seen before.

From what can be seen, the Pokemon responsible for all of the webs in the area were these green spiders with markings meant to scare predators away from them.



Pokédex Entry #167 – Spinarak, the String Spit Pokémon. With threads from its mouth, it fashions sturdy webs that won't break even if you set a rock on them. Although the poison from its fangs isn't that strong, it's potent enough to weaken prey that gets caught in its web.


There were also these horned caterpillar things with big, pink, round noses and every now and again, sentient yellow cocoons could be seen hanging above from strings of white.



Pokédex Entry #013 – Weedle, the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Weedle has an extremely acute sense of smell. It is capable of distinguishing its favorite kinds of leaves from those it dislikes just by sniffing with its big red proboscis (nose).




Pokédex Entry #014 – Kakuna, the Cocoon Pokémon. Kakuna remains virtually immobile as it clings to a tree. However, on the inside, it is extremely busy as it prepares for its coming evolution. This is evident from how hot the shell becomes to the touch.


However, the main reason as to why many people avoided took the form of very angry bees with drills for arms. You know what they are.



Pokédex Entry #015 – Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon. Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest—this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm.





@samreaper

For once, the dice gods smiled upon Tristan.

The pen that he entered was the one that contained the Wooloo and Mareep. Now, understandably, these pens were quite big to give these Pokemon to roam comfortably. In fact, they were less pens and more very segregated pastures, no doubt to keep his different cattle from mixing with cattle the neighboring farms. It would not be an easy feat to walk cover the entire area by himself on foot on his own as they covered quite a few acres. He would also note that there was barbed wiring around the fencing itself with the obvious intention of keeping thieves out. What he would also note were the livestock cameras set around the perimeter. For such a large space, things like this were necessary to keep an eye on the cattle and any suspicious individuals. It would be safe to assume that there were also security cameras in the barn as well.

What was strange however, was that there seemed to be a piece of torn denim dangling listless from the barbed wire. Upon inspection, carefully removing the denim from the wire, he would notice that there was a dark red stain on it. Quite out of place.

Tristan was just a rich boy that had no understanding the inner workings of a farm, so he was a bit out of his depth, but that was something that could be easily fixed by talking to Neil, something that he should have done initially, or the workers on the farm, after finishing up whatever he wishes to do. Who knows, maybe he'd find something out about the piece of denim?

What does Tristan wish to do?


@Lunarlord34

This bastard was actually laughing while he was running, pushing people aside to move his way through the streets. The idea that this girl would even catch him was so completely absurd to him since he was so confident in his ability to get away from just about anyone. He was as slippery to catch as he was greasy though uh, he actually wasn't getting away. Quite the opposite in fact. Arold glanced back behind him to check if he had lost her and to his own terror, she was not only keeping up with him, but she was also catching up to him at such breakneck speeds that his eyes looked like they would have bulged out of his skull and picked up the pace.

Unluckily for him though luckily for Steph, the Pokeball somehow went through the gap between his legs and as soon as he stepped on it, it rolled and threw off his balance, which was aided by the fierce tackle causing him to eat concrete as his face slightly skidded on it. With a scuffed-up face, he lifted himself up on the ground to his butt and turned back to see the raging redhead had now caught up to him. With the fear of God instilled in him, he tried crawling back with one arm while the other was held up outward to her.

"W-wait! Let's talk about this!" Violence is never the answer. It's a question, and in this case, the answer was a resounding yes.

The petty thief was somehow pinned down by this hell beast of a woman and was beaten mercilessly. It was actually a terrible sight to behold; the man's face was a swollen, bloody mess and the people watching could only watch in absolute shock and horror. Even Freya, who had finally just caught up with her, carrying the Sneasel in toe, froze in place.

"Oh my god.", said Freya with that same shock and horror... then there was an aura of bone chilling rage radiating from behind her. A very familiar figure with a sloppy black ponytail and a lab coat walked from behind Freya along with a white-haired young man with piercings. "Wait, what are you two-?!"

Kapoc grabbed Steph by her arm and yanked her off the now bloodied thief. Yup, he looked livid. "What the hell is going on?!"

Surpringingly, the man was somehow still conscious and pointed at Steph accusingly with a shaky arm. Tears were running down his ballooned cheeks. "T-this bitch assaulted me! I want her arrested!"

Kapoc's companion shook his head and sighed. "I'll call an ambulance."

@Zarkun

Lordy this guy wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

The bug-maniac narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying to see through that thick headed skull of Jason's. "Do I really need to spell it out for you? You're trainers, aren't you? You go headlong into danger for the sake of adventure and battle anything that has a pulse. You're adrenaline junkies."

"Do you want me to punch you?", Connor piped in. In reaction to that, the bug-maniac stepped out of arms reach.

"We have reason to believe that what we are searching for is deeper in the forest. Problem is we aren't skilled trainers, and the Deep Woods are not exactly a place where we want to go unless we absolutely know for certain that it's there." He sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of his nose. At this point he was just ready to cut straight to the point. At least before he gets socked in the face. "Look, you have to understand that what we are looking for is one of the rarest bug-types out there, even before Cipher. It's considered to be one the pinnacle achievements of bug-collectors, so we trade for things that are of equal value, which I can gather you don't have.

He eyed the two of them and silently, from what the duo could tell, assess them. "I'll help you two, only if you guide me through the Deep Woods. Fair enough?"

One of the other bug-maniacs called out, "Why you?"

"Because I'm the one leading this project!"

What does Jason do?


@samreaper

"Er, uh, sorry about that. She tends to forget her own strength.", said Neil while he led the very much winded Tristan down the hall. Judging by the way he said it, he seemed to know all too well just how strong his wife so there was definitely some sympathy for the scrawny lad even though he just took what would be considered a casual pat on the back. If she had put more into that, well, it would not be an exaggeration that Tristan's feeble body would crumple from the sheer force. Thankfully, that reality is one that Tristan nor the narrator, need to deal with.

Eventually, Neil would lead Tristan back out at the farm though this time he motioned him to follow him to the pens. "Alright, I'm going to inform my workers that you are allowed access in the pens so you can investigate. I wish I had more to tell you, but this thing has somehow evaded every security measure I've taken. If you do have any questions about the farm, or if you find something, let me know."

He looked like he was just about to leave before his face lit up as if he remembered something. "I'll be right back." He ran back inside his house and after a few minutes he came back out.

"Take these." Tristan was handed a pair of very faded, yet sturdy black boots. They were a size larger than what Tristan could wear, but it was better than nothing. It was pretty obvious what these were for if he were to go in the pen.

"Well I better get back to work. Good luck." And with that, he went back to do his farming duties.

The investigation is afoot! What does Tristan do now?


@CitrusArms

So, uh, for being a tick, Joltik wasn't exactly very good at being one. As soon as Kaebe tried to slam the Joltik in the ground with its tail, it lost its grip so instead of being smacked onto the ground, it was sent flying in the air horizontally. The electric tick did land on its feet, a bit disoriented and that disorientation allowed for the green projectiles of energy to land on it. However, due to its superior bulk despite being literally .2 inches, it was able to withstand the blows though its special attack did fall.

Unlucky for Stella and her team, the Joltik was hidden in the grass due to its absurdly small size. However, what they could see was the crackle of electricity where it landed and then it used Electro Web. The electrified webs flew straight both towards Kaebe and Ocul.

What does Stella do?


@Lunarlord34

Freya was watching this whole thing go down and the only thing that ran through her mind was, Why did her accent just disappear? I'm not imagining this, right?

She really was overestimating how skilled her opponent was, but hey, it was good of her to acknowledge her own inexperience.

While Dusk's Embers did indeed shoot down a majority of the Ice Shards that flew towards it, a couple did indeed manage to sneak through and collided with Dusk though given the fact that Litwicks resist ice, the damage was not severe. The little candle tanked it like a champ, but even he would give in if he ate too many of them.

Yes, while a battle of attrition would have been the most solid strategy, it wasn't exactly necessary. The Smog did indeed limit the Sneasel's movement as this toxic haze was now lingering against the left side of the alley, hugging the wall and even floating along the ground a bit. While yes, it did limit Dusk's movement options as well, it actually didn't matter.

The Ember that followed the Smog flew with great force and in fact, the Sneasel was still struggling to get its bearings due to its now limited movement. In fact, it was so caught up with the Smog that it did not even have the time to react to the sparks of fire flying towards it much to his trainer's dismay. The attack met its mark with such a ferocious force that it knocked the Sneasel off its feet and sent it tumbling back. It was a critical hit!

With a great amount of stubbornness and effort, the Sneasel did stand back up before it fell on its knee with a haggard breath. It was unable to battle!

Petty Thief Arnold was defeated!
Dusk is now level 6!
Steph received 800P!


The greasy petty thief looked upon with shock that he was defeated so easily and so quickly. He looked back at the girls, to the exhausted Sneasel, and back to them with a now eerie grin. "Well that happened. I guess I should return this now..." He said, holding the Pokedex out with a loose grip, sauntering over. Well, he was. "Like hell I will!" Arnold kicked the back of the Sneasel who had a look of complete and utter shock and disbelief, sending it flying forward towards the girls.

It was all too clear that he was using the Sneasel as a distraction as he quickly turned tail and dashed. He knew what would happen if he got close to them and he was sure as hell that he was not going to get caught.

Freya ran towards the Sneasel and knelt down to check the wound. She turned to Steph and yelled out, "Don't let him get away!"

@samreaper

Much to Tristan's surprise, she laughed and gave him such a hard pat on the back that he would have felt the air forced out of his lungs. "Weel aren't ye a bawherr o' an ass kisser! Tis braw laddie. Ah know mah accent is thick." He wasn't exactly discreet with how confused he was when he heard her speak. In fact, she seemed quite used to it though it seemed like it didn't save him from that back pat that forced his soul out of his flesh. To be frank, it would have been an impressive feat for him to not be literally smacked onto the floor though if that did happen, Neil would've just grabbed him before that would happen.

Speaking of Neil, he had raised his brow when Tristan made dinner part of the deal for the job. He waved his hand dismissively at the very notion of adding it into the deal. "No, no that's okay. We'd offer you dinner anyway for doing this. It's the decent thing to do.

"Aye, we aren't monsters you know. Ah will be sure tae cook up a hearty meal." Frida said with a confident grin.

"Well, I should probably show you around the farm. You can't really investigate from inside a kitchen. Follow me, if you please." asked Neil, motioning Tristan to finish his drink and follow him.

Well, it looked like it was time to get back to work. "Alricht, see ye later love."

With that, Tristan was being led back outside.


@CitrusArms

Well, it was an interesting idea. Let's see how it plays out!

The issue is that even Ocul, even with its big glasses like eyes, would have trouble trying to spot a Joltik because those things were bloody well small. They're 4 inches or for the metrically inclined, 0.1 meter so trying to spot then in the tall grass would be just about impossible, if they were even in this area to begin with.

This would go on for quite a bit of time and perhaps Stella was beginning to feel a bit discouraged. Maybe she was ready to give up, until something very interesting happened. Something bit the tip of Kaebe's tail and was completely latched on. No matter how hard the Tyrunt tried to shake it off, this thing was fiercely clinging onto the dinosaur.



Pokédex Entry #595 – Joltik, the Attaching Pokemon. Joltik can be found clinging to other Pokémon. It's soaking up static electricity because it can't produce a charge on its own. They're often found sticking to Yamper's hindquarters.


What does Stella do?


@Zarkun

Connor wasn't exactly pleased with this situation. Despite how friendly of a face, he put on, one could see the right corner of his mouth twitch and how clenched his jaw was. Judging by the fact that there was a thick piece of rope poking out of his bag, there was no doubt that this man would've loved to hogtie them and hanging them on one of those massive tree roots that were arcing above them. Even more to his annoyance, he didn't know how to bargain with these bug obsessed nerds and apparently, neither did Jason.

The cowboy leaned in and whispered back, "Yeah, I don't have much to offer myself. This is proving to be much more difficult than I thought."

Despite their whispering, the bug maniac was quite sharp and was able to pick up on the situation quite quickly. He furrowed his brow and sighed, shaking his head. "God above, we don't want your money. Do you two have any info or skills to offer? You are trainers, right?" At this point, he wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't provide anything either.

"Come on, aren't you being a little too hard on them?", said someone else from the group, who then received a burning glare from behind the very thick lenses of the man's glasses.

"Are you kidding me? We've been painstakingly researching this for so long with little sleep and you'd just give it away to anyone that walks and asks you? Would you give your thesis away if someone asked? Know the value of your work dammit!"

Meanwhile Connor turned to Jason while this Bug Maniac was going off on this one person. "I've don't have much on the info department."


@Lunarlord34

We will assume that Dusk used an Ember to intercept the Ice Shard. The attacks did collide and thankfully, due to Ember having a type-advantage over Ice Shard, the opposing Pokemon's attack was destroyed with very little resistance. Bits of ice and ember fell to the ground, none of it harmful as they were more like specks.

Okay so, uh, Litwick is not exactly what some would call a fast Pokemon. In fact, even at its fastest speed it had no chance in hell to match the most casual saunter of a Sneasel. Even under the cover of the small explosion of ice and fire, jumping or floating with all its might, Dusk did not have a chance to intercept the opposing Pokemon though it was still within range for the Litwick's next attack. Dusk breathed out a dark gray cloud of exhaust gas at the Sneasel and due to its wide range, it still caught the Sneasel. Rather than doing external damage, Smog hurts by those who breathe the toxic gasses in.

Actually, Steph and the lowlife would have noticed that the Smog was actually not dispersing but lingering above. "Get out of there!" The thug ordered and the Sneasel found its way back to the ground. The thing's breathing was haggard, presumably from breathing in the gas though it seemed to not just take damage from the attack. It was poisoned. "Ice Shard! Don't let up!" Even in this pained state, it still followed through and kept blasting icicles at Dusk nonstop.

What does Steph do?

@CitrusArms

Sparks of electricity were now radiating from the Tyrunt. Little did the dinosaur know, the Yamper was using Nuzzle, which has a hundred percent chance of paralysis on contact. While the Kaebe did not receive damage from the attack, it still made contact with the electric type while it was using that move.

Well, she was not wrong to assume that the Tackle did heavy damage against the Yamper. The poor thing ate the full brunt of the attack without any way of guarding or bracing for impact. It rolled against the ground, already taken so much damage so quickly so it showed very little resistance to when the ball made impact

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



Now what does she want to do?

@Zarkun

This man was totally unmoved, even when Jason mentioned that he and Connor were both employed by Professor Kapoc. Instead, he actually looked more annoyed that they thought that they think they were entitled to this information just because they were helping the professor. "And what do I get out of it? Surely you weren't expecting me to handover information that we painstakingly sought out for over days and days without anything in return."

To be fair, nothing is free. These were people who took so much time out of their day to research the possibility that there was indeed a rare bug-type Pokemon and then some random kid just asks for something without offering anything in return. They were not interested in contests or challenges; the only way that they would give away information is if they were compensated somehow, which raises a very important question. How does someone even make a deal with a bug maniac?


@samreaper

Being called 'Mr. Andersen' made him physically flinch. This was a man that was definitely not used to being formal. Just Neil is fine., he said quickly.

When told that his decor could use a touch of spring colors, he actually chuckled at that. "Heh, my wife keeps saying the same thing too.", said the farmer, sipping on his tea as he listened to Tristan talk and talk. He was quite the wordy, opinionated kid. However, he did raise an eyebrow when Tristan mentioned that Torchics were rare Pokemon.

"You're not from Evig are you?" asked Neil after Tristan had finish saying his piece. "Torchics are not just simply rare. They're practically extinct in the wild within the Evig region. Luckily, my wife loves those things and is working with rangers to help reintroduce them back into the wild, but right now, the only place to get a Torchic within this region is my farm. Typically, I wouldn't really give them away due to the cost of raising or even procuring them, but... well, circumstances are dire."

However, he seemed a bit confused when Tristan mentioned berries. Surely the boy must've noticed that there were no orchards of berry trees anywhere on this property. "We're not a berry farm so I cannot do that for you, but if it's a reward for your Pokemon that you want, I can spare you a pack of Moomoo Milk from my own personal stock."

Neil stood up from his seat. "Let me discuss the matter of the Torchics with my wife. It's really her passion project so I dare not make this decision without her. Wait here and make yourself comfortable." He walked out of the kitchen and was gone for about fifteen minutes. Hopefully he hasn't set the room on fire.

Eventually, Neil returned with a very short blonde-haired woman that looked just about as sturdy as her husband though not in an overly buff sort of way. She looked like she was very much used to hard manual labor and very used to wrestling the Tauros outside. She approached Tristan and said, "Sae yer th' laddie that me guidman wis talking aboot. Th' name is Frida." Judging by the way she spoke she was actually most likely Galarian or as we in the real world would call her, Scottish. She held her hand out for a handshake and if he did, he would have felt like she was squeezing the soul of out of his body. "Juist wanted tae catch up wi` oor sudden newest helper, considering yer request."

"We agreed to your request, except for the fact that you do not get to pick your Torchic. Some of them are needed for breeding stock and they are hard to replace."

"Honestly, ah dinnae even lik' th' idea o' giein' yin awa', bit if that is th' cost tae solve oor aishans then sae be it."


@Lunarlord34

"Oh, so the little man wants to throw hands." The man, despite being at a type disadvantage, was still acting smug. Then again, a little blue candle is not exactly the most intimidating thing in the world.

"Jump onto the wall and then push off, follow by Ice Shard." He ordered the Sneasel, which promptly leapt high into the air, its feet planted against the wall, and then it pushed off to dash to another wall while throwing an Ice Shard at the Litwick. If Steph and Dusk could not adapt to the Sneasels movements, they would just be continually assaulted by Ice Shards.

If Steph wanted to use the environment, there was a dumpster, some trash bags, and a fire escape though it's not very certain how she could use these things at all, let alone to her own advantage.

@samreaper

This Ursaring of man arched a bushy brow at this strange young man. The kid looked like he had seen death looming over him. The farmer was not exactly sure what the deal was with this kid, but it looked like he wanted something though this was quite the curious fellow. His clothing was noticeably high end, even the farmer could recognize that. This boy looked like he came from money, so it was quite odd to find someone like this kid on his farm. Well, at least until the kid finally came out with what he wanted.

This kid wanted the job? He looked like he never worked a day in his life! Also, was the Glory name meant to mean anything to him? Well, he needed help, and this was the first person to actually come to take the job. Beggars can't be choosers, he supposed.

"Hmmm. Alright Tristan, follow me inside. We will discuss the details of the job." He turned around and motioned with his head to follow him to what appeared to be his actual home. It was actually a surprisingly large farm style house with a luxuriously large wooden deck decorated with wooden chairs with soft cushions of high quality as well as various other bits of outdoor furniture. In fact, the house itself look superbly well maintained and definitely did not look like it was anything that came cheaply. Of course, not nearly as luxurious and impressive as the Glory estate, but despite this man's gruff image, he looked like he was pretty damn successful.

The farmer led Tristan through his home and perhaps he would notice that the decor was very modern and yet still had an edge to it with exposed red brick walls in certain areas, dark wooden beams across the ceiling, and sliding wooden barndoors. Eventually, they would arrive in what appeared to be the kitchen and dining area. The most noticeable thing about the room was that one wall was just a massive glass panel that looked over his property.

"Take a seat." He motioned his hand to some barstools that were by a white granite countertop. The farmer then went to his fridge and grabbed a jug of something and then two glasses from an overhead cabinet. Soon there were two glasses of iced tea that was unsweetened but had the taste of mint of and lemon.

"The name is Neil Andersen, the founder and proprietor of Frida's Ranch. Pardon the late introduction. It's just been a day." He said tiredly and honestly, if it were not for the fact that his face was obscured by his beard, he'd probably look even more tired. "I'll cut to the chase. Someone or something has been stealing the eggs that my Pokemon produce. If I don't nip this at the bud, I am going to lose a serious amount of money and before you ask, yes, I asked the police. They were useless." He said rather brusquely.

"Your task is simple. Find whatever it is that's stealing my eggs and stop it. Your payment will be 7500P if you can do it. Is that fair?" Tristan could just accept this deal as it was, or he could try and negotiate to get more money or something else. Within reason, of course.


@CitrusArms

Yeah, no, that was not really going to happen again. Not all wild Pokemon were going to simply rollover like Ocul the Blipbug did and go without a fight. This was the exact case for this little Yamper here.

The Yamper rolled onto its feet and crouched as much as it could with its stubby little legs. The dopey look on its face was replaced with a fierce look where it bore its fangs at the trainer and her bug Pokemon, growling, sparks of electricity crackled around it. It looked like if she wanted to catch a Yamper, she was going to have to do this the hard way.

The Yamper started to charge right for Stella, slowly. Honestly, it isn't a very fast Pokemon and just by looking at it, it's really not hard to see why. Those legs it had were not made speed. Besides that, what does she do? Would she stick with Ocul or would she get her Tyrunt to stop savoring its first meal after being a fossil for who knows how many millenniums to help catch the electric corgi?


@Zarkun

Connor shrugged, mainly because he was not sure what to do. Battling them was definitely not the best option seeing as it could go wrong in so many ways even if they won. The last thing they needed was to be misled by some sore losers and get stuck in the forest for lord knows how long. They were going to need think outside the box for this, something that did not require battling.

"Eh, sounds like we need a more delicate touch in general. They're collectors, not battlers. Maybe we could appeal to that?" He suggested. Maybe they could work an angle where both parties could be satisfied.

"Well, only one way to find out." With that, he led Jason to the group of bug-maniacs.

One of them turned to do the approaching due and with an ever-unfriendly expression, "And what do you want?" This guy had glasses so thick that one would struggle to tell what his eyes looked like, but besides that he looked pretty bland.

"Told ya they were a friendly bunch.", said Connor to his companion.

Indeed, they both picked up on the sound of shoes beating against concrete coming closer and closer to them. What they say was a fiery red headed girl filled with equally fiery rage and...

...What the fuck did this girl say? No, seriously what did she say?

The duo could not understand a bloody word that this girl was saying, but she sure sounded pissed. Actually, now that he thought about it this girl looked like the one on that card in that weird phone. Whatever this thing was, it sure was important if she was all worked up over it. The man had a slimy grin, the kind that would make someone's skin crawl as it was obvious that he was up to no good.

"Ohhh, this is yours then." He held the Pokedex out and tossed it in the air, caught it with one hand, and then repeated that. "I'm sure we can work something out. Well, that's what I would say if it were not for the fact that you have murder in your eyes. I think I'll have to snuff that out."

There was another sound of shoes pounding against the ground, followed by the arrival of Steph's tall, dark-haired friend. "God girl, you run-" Freya had no time to finish her sentence before she ducked down to dodge a chunk of ice flying at her head that smashed against the concrete. The man still had that grin on his face though that Sneasel seemed... ambivalent?

"Petty Thief Arrol would like to battle"


It was a very narrow alley, making this a difficult place to maneuver and definitely made it impossible for double battles so it was impossible for Freya to join the fray, so Steph was on her own for this fight.

"Ice Shard at the redhead." Whatever feelings that Sneasel seemed to have, it followed its order nonetheless and sent a chunk at Steph. This guy was not giving her the chance to throw her Pokemon out.


@Sanguine Rose

Okay, so, uh, literally nothing else mattered for the fight. Sage threw out a Tackle and must've hit a weak point of the Rattata that it was a Critical Hit. The poor rat was sent flying and skidded across the dirt, completely unconscious.

"...Well, that sucks." The boy said, sulking as he returned the creature into its Pokeball.

The battle went so unexpectedly quick that Faye actually had to wait for the other battles to end. Eventually though, she was setup for another battle and against the teenage girl's little sister.

"You may be older, but that doesn't mean you're better!"

Preschooler Lisa would like to battle!


The little girl tossed out her Pokeball and what came out was a red fox with black ears, boots, and at the end of its broom-like tail.



Pokédex Entry #827 – Nickit, the Fox Pokemon. Aided by the soft pads on its feet, it silently raids the food stores of other Pokémon. It survives off its ill-gotten gains. It erases its tracks with swipes of its tail as it makes off with its plunder.


The general strategy that she was going to use was simple and like the previous battle; the girl would order the Nickit to use Tailwhip, but instead of Tackle, Nickit would use Quick Attack. It come at Sage and strike quickly.


@samreaper

Tristan would walk down the road a bit, which was a bit of a steep decline as he was going downhill. It was quite the pleasant walk along the flowers and fresh air. Eventually, he would arrive down at what looked like a stereotypical ranch; a series of massive red wooden buildings with Pokemon contained in these enclosures. They were most definitely not wild Pokemon so they could not be captured, but that does not mean they can't be obtained.

In one partition, there were two kinds of Pokemon that looked very similar; they were both wooly things though one species had a white coat and another with a yellow coat.



Pokédex Entry #179 – Mareep, the Wool Pokemon. Clothing made from Mareep's fleece is easily charged with static electricity, so a special process is used on it. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.




Pokédex Entry #831 – Wooloo, the Sheep Pokemon. Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed. If its fleece grows too long, Wooloo won't be able to move. Cloth made with the wool of this Pokémon is surprisingly strong.


There two pens where pink, round bovines were separated from these fierce bulls with three tails. For some reason, looking at the pink cows would instill a primal fear that would be hard to explain as if a collective consciousness has experienced their wrath.



Pokédex Entry #241 – Miltank, the Milk Cow Pokemon. Miltank produces highly nutritious milk, so it's been supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times. This Pokémon needs to be milked every day, or else it will fall ill. The flavor of Miltank milk changes with the seasons.




Pokédex Entry #128 – Tauros, the Wild Bull Pokemon. When Tauros begins whipping itself with its tails, it's a warning that the Pokémon is about to charge with astounding speed. Once it takes aim at its foe, it makes a headlong charge. It is famous for its violent nature.


Then there were these little orange chickens walking around by a coop pecking ground.



Pokédex Entry #255 – Torchic, the Chick Pokemon. Torchic sticks with its Trainer, following behind with unsteady steps. This Pokémon breathes fire of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, including fireballs that leave the foe scorched black. It has a place inside its body where it keeps its flame. Give it a hug—it will be glowing with warmth. This Pokémon is covered all over by a fluffy coat of down.


Eventually after walking through the property, he would see a man in a red flannel with denim overalls over it and black boots. He was lifting bales of hay and tossing them onto the back of a truck. Now this man had an imposing figure; he easily towered over Tristan, barrel chested, and had arms that like steel girders. His face was mostly obscured by a full, lush brown beard and large bushy eyebrows though he had a perpetual stern glare in his eyes.

He had only just noticed Tristan and looked like he told his barn hand to finish the job and walked over to the fledgling trainer?

"Can I help you, boy?" He said with a very commanding tone. Perhaps if Tristan were to get on his good side to get the job, and not get thrown in the hay bales, he would probably need to not do whatever he did to piss off Steph and Freya so badly.


@Zarkun

It was actually a Litleo, but close enough.

"Hey, you made the effort and it worked out. A win is a win and besides, not many new trainers have the cojones to straight up battle a poacher on their first day." The cowboy shrugged and took out a small, round metallic container from his pocket. It looked like the kind that would have had chewing tobacco in it, but when the lid was removed it revealed it held an assortment of surprisingly cute looking chocolates. What were you expecting? He's seventeen. Legally, he can't even buy tobacco products.

Connor held a piece up as an offer to Jason though he didn't strike Connor as a fan of sweets.

"From what I've been able to gleam, they were a bit more common, but whatever they are, their numbers were decimated by Cipher. They're just coming back now after ten years." Jason must keep in mind that this region was ransacked for so long and that its wildlife was beginning to just recover.

And off Jason went to buy Pokeballs! We'll save the grand introduction of the village for later. Anyway, he would find the cowboy waiting for him still.

"Alright, the way I see it is that we are shit out of luck unless we can get one of those bug-maniacs to talk. How do you wanna do this?"

So, Stella decided that it was time to begin training her Pokemon, which was a smart move. However, she could have trained in the city without bothering that many Pokemon as it is not that uncommon for people to fight the wild Pokemon that live in the city, but it is what it is.

Before that though, she went to the Pokemart and bought a Potion.

Stella obtained a Potion!
She spent 300P


Anyway, Stella would eventually leave the city to go train and deciding to let chance decide guide her, she would arrive to Route 1 since chance knew that it would be a bit of a struggle to grind on Route 4 with her current team.

Route 1



(Ignore the mountains. This was the only picture that came close to my mental image.)

Those heading to Route 1 would be welcomed by the site of rolling green hills with wildflowers beginning their spring bloom strewn about, painting the route with vibrant, untamed color that ran along the entire route. The road itself was like any road; there was a paved path for cars, but for those walking around they would only have a dirt path to walk on though it was well maintained. It was a popular route for beginning trainers due to the lack of challenge that the terrain offered and the close proximity to Florasong Town compared to Route 4's challenges and length.

Aside from hills of greenery and flowers, there were a sizable number of farms on this route each with their own specialty. Some grew wheat, some grew berries, some grew vegetables, and so on. A large portion of the region's food is grown here on this route. Of course, this was common knowledge to anyone living in Evig would know that the only thing not produced here is meat, which is actually produced in places such as Nexus due to the region having advanced cultured meat to the point that it is now the mainstream.

There were also ranches in the area where it can be safely assumed that had Pokemon on them and plenty of Breeders who offered their expertise. One could get Moomoo Milk in some of them. There was even a Day Care Center where a nice elderly couple who were very much experienced Pokemon Breeders.

The route was decently well-trafficked with trainers and others coming down from Florasong or from Grand Glory. There were many trainers in the tall grass searching for Pokemon or on the edge of a forest that strangely wasn't marked on the map. What could be in it?

There were kids playing in the grass, well, actually it looked like they were holding a little tournament of some sort. If Stella was paying attention, perhaps she would recognize Faye, one of the others at the lab who received their starter as well. Also, not that far off sitting under a tree was Tristan, a boy with white hair greyish-silver hair, that was there at the lab when she received her starter. It appeared that he was reading a book.

Along the grass there were puppy Pokemon going about their day, mainly just lying in the now midday sun or playing amongst themselves. There were also these creatures with zigzagging markings all over their body scavenging for food.



Pokédex Entry #835 – Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. It only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity.




Pokédex Entry #263 – Zigzagoon, the Tiny Raccoon Pokémon. It marks its territory by rubbing its bristly fur on trees. This variety of Zigzagoon is friendlier and calmer than the kind native to Galar. If you've lost something, this Pokémon can likely find it.


However, slithering in the grass were these purple, poisonous snakes with yellow rattles at the end of their tails hunting the near endless supply of Zigzagoons.



Pokédex Entry #023 – Ekans, the Snake Pokémon. By dislocating its jaw, it can swallow prey larger than itself. After a meal, it curls up and rests. The eggs of bird Pokémon are its favorite food. It swallows eggs whole, so sometimes an egg gets stuck, and Ekans faints.


Stella would battle a few of these Pokemon. Kaebe had an easier time with fighting some of these Pokemon while Oclu struggled a bit due to its fragile physical stats. Still, the training bore results!

Kaebe is now level 7!
Oclu is now level 6!


However, while training against Pokemon, Stella found a few encounters that definitely were not common, but now she was armed with knowledge that they lived here on this route.



Pokédex Entry #821 – Rookidee, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. It will bravely challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. This Pokémon benefits from every battle—even a defeat increases its strength a bit. Jumping nimbly about, this small-bodied Pokémon takes advantage of even the slightest opportunity to disorient larger opponents.




Pokédex Entry #827 – Nickit, the Fox Pokemon. Aided by the soft pads on its feet, it silently raids the food stores of other Pokémon. It survives off its ill-gotten gains. It erases its tracks with swipes of its tail as it makes off with its plunder.


With her training out of the way, what does she do?

@Zarkun

Well, it was never said that the cut marks of the tree were high up on the trees. The marks were found lower down where people who weren't climbing the trees were, around the trunk and exposed roots. But anyway, Jason decided in his best interest to actually observe his surroundings.

He was not wrong about the forest being a haven for bug collectors of various age groups and backgrounds. Knowing Jason, he's probably met some out back in his home in the Hoenn region due to the proximity of Petalburg Woods to his hometown. They were typically a bit of a strange, standoffish bunch, but this crowd was even more so. They spoke to only each other and gave the budding trainer the evil eye. It seemed like they were quite secretive with their info though Jason's focus was on the very familiar cowboy.

Now he didn't jump. It was more like he perked up when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. Connor glanced at the hand that was on his shoulder and then to the owner of said hand. He grinned when he recognized who it was. "You know it. Apparently from what I hear it's from a Pokemon that hasn't been seen in this forest in years though those damned bug-maniacs won't tell me a thing about it. If you're lookin' for info from them, it ain't coming out easily."

"By the way, I heard something about some kid beating a poacher last night. I take it that was you?"


@Lunarlord34
It would be correct to assume that Freya indeed knew where this was heading. "Wait!" Freya called out to Steph as she ran away. "Ugh... Shit, hey wait up!" It was not long until she herself was running after them as well to the alley way. She had to make sure that whatever happened, that Steph would not end up killing anyone.

Meanwhile, the thing had been completely unaware that it was spotted and continued down the alley until it approached a messy looking man in his mid-twenties wearing baggy clothes, unkempt long pale blonde hair peeking out of a beanie. This guy looked like grease incarnate. "What'cha got this time?" The man said as it took the Pokedex from the Pokemon, examining it with a puzzled look about. It looked like a phone, but it had this weird card slot in it, speaking of which, had a card inside. He pulled it out to examine the card. Belonged to some girl apparently, but who cares?

He shrugged and slid the card back in without thinking. "Eh, no idea what it is, but it sure looks expensive. Probably could pawn it off and get quite a pretty penny off it."

However, there was a factor that they did not predict; a Bogan Galarian girl was making her way down that alley with a fury that would strike the fear of God into the heart of anyone.

Freya gave the Litwick more chin scratches since the cute little thing seemed to be quite expectant. She then turned her back attention to the redhead who asked if she would like to come tag along with her to the docks. "I'd love to. Would be a nice way of forgetting what just happened." That and she really did know that she needed to keep an eye on this girl, especially if she were to go to some of the rougher edges of the city. It's not that she was afraid that Steph wouldn't be able to hold up; she was afraid that she would be arrested for assaulting someone that probably deserved it, but she would get the brunt instead.

They were going to take the bus to the docks, but for some reason she felt like something was... rummaging through her bag?! She couldn't get a good look at it because as soon as she looked, the thing dashed off though the only thing that she got a good look of was that it had large redish-pinkish feather.

If she were to check what was gone and... her Pokedex was missing. Oh no.


@samreaper

Well, Tristan read the book given to him by the Nurse Joy from Grand Glory and for quite a while fueled by his motivation to get his vengeance against Freya. Tristan had already learned about Types from his brief bit in the Pokemon Center and now with no one to interrupt him, he could actually study everything else. Thankfully, this book was chock full of notes that was able to make it far simpler for him to understand.

This was what he read this time and could be summarized into this.

From what he read; he would learn the very basic concepts of Pokemon that were common knowledge to many already. For starters, he would learn that Pokemon do indeed have stats. They essentially parameters that showed what the species of Pokemon excelled at and what they struggled with. There was HP (Hit Points), which was the amount of damage that a Pokemon could withstand before fainting. Attack, which was the stat that determined the strength of physical moves, and special attack which determined attacks the power of special attacks. Then there was defense and special defense, the stats that showed how well a Pokemon could eat a physical or special attack. Finally, there was speed, something that was pretty self-explanatory.

After that, he would learn about status conditions. He would learn about Burn, a status that seemed way too familiar due to his recent experience with Freya's Growlithe. The Burn status condition decreased Health over time and halves the damage physical moves and was caused by fire-type moves mainly though there were other moves and abilities that could cause the same effect. Fire type Pokemon could not be burned. There was then Poison, which was just damage over time, but unlike Burn, the damage continues outside of battle and there was the upgraded version, Badly Poisoned. For this status, the amount of health that is lost over time is increased. Both are caused by poison-type moves and certain abilities. Poison and Steel types could not be poisoned. Paralysis was the status condition caused by electric type moves, certain other ones, and abilities that cut down a Pokemon's speed by half and could even at times prevent them from moving. Electric and Ground Types could not be paralyzed. The Sleep status was really how it sounded; the Pokemon were asleep unless the Pokemon had the ability Insomnia or Vital Spirit. There was the frozen status, where Pokemon were made immobilized by being frozen in ice by ice-type moves. There was also another status that could occur from ice type moves called Frostbite, where instead of being frozen, they take damage overtime, and the strength of their special attack moves is halved. Ice types, for both statuses, are not affected.

Finally, he would arrive at Abilities. Abilities were traits that all Pokemon have with a litany of effects though it is possible for one Pokemon from the same species to have a completely different ability from another. Some had the ability to boost the power of moves from their respective typing when they are in a pinch, some Pokemon have stats that double their attack stat, some have the ability, such as his Murkrow, to increase the critical hit ratio of their attacks, and so on. Abilities even had their uses outside of battle!

This was all that he could muster into reading because it was quite a bit of information to take in. He would have to read more at a later date.

Now with out of the way. Tristan was now on...

Route 1



(Ignore the mountains. This was the only picture that came close to my mental image.)

Those heading to Route 1 would be welcomed by the site of rolling green hills with wildflowers beginning their spring bloom strewn about, painting the route with vibrant, untamed color that ran along the entire route. The road itself was like any road; there was a paved path for cars, but for those walking around they would only have a dirt path to walk on though it was well maintained.

There was even a Day Care Center where a nice elderly couple who were very much experienced Pokemon Breeders. Tristan did know that one of these ranches was having trouble with Pokemon stealing eggs from them and were paying quite a bit for anyone to help.

The route was decently well-trafficked with trainers and others coming down from Florasong or from Grand Glory. There were many trainers in the tall grass searching for Pokemon or on the edge of a forest that strangely wasn't marked on the map. What could be in it?

Freya did not seem to react well when Steph commented on not getting on her bad side though it seemed not directed at Steph, but more at herself. She groaned and face palmed herself. "I did it again!" The young woman said in a frustrated dismay, but she was able to compose herself. She sighed heavily and shook her head. "I'm sorry about that. I've been really trying to keep my temper in check, but guy is so irritating!" Seriously, what an asshole though if this was her reaction, how did Professor Kapoc react?

At least Steph was able to reign her back in with her question. She focused on the Pokedex that Steph was fiddling with "Oh, um, sure. I'll show you." Freya would help show Steph how to add contacts on her new Pokedex and used her own number to show her now. After giving her number to Steph, Freya would receive Steph's number in return.

What does Steph do?








@Sanguine Rose
The group of kids cheered with joy as soon as Faye agreed to participate. The teenage girl babysitting them sighed with relief and smiled at her, quite thankful for making her life easier... and perhaps provide entertainment.

"Awesome. Alright kiddos, get ready." To which, the kids gleefully were getting set up for their little tourney and a few of them had begun their own battles.

As for Faye, she was up against a little boy. "I'm not gonna go easy on you, miss!" He boldly declared, perhaps overestimating the abilities of his own Pokemon.

Preschooler Will would like to battle!


"Go, Ratatta!" The little kid threw a Pokeball and out in that flash of light came out a purple rat that Faye saw earlier in Grand Glory City.

With only a basic level of strategy, the kid would just repeatedly order his Ratatta to use Tail Whip and then Tackle as they were its only moves.

What was going to be Faye's course of action?


@samreaper

Tristan bought 10 Pokeballs!
Received 1x Premiere Ball
2000P was spent.


Okay so Tristan was not very specific with what kind of info he was looking for, but the shopkeeper would rightly infer that the boy was looking for info that would be helpful for his journey or an adventure for him to explore. It wasn't a bad idea to ask the shopkeep either; there were always trainers coming in and out gossiping about the happenings going around and rumors.

"Well, there are a few things. I've heard that one of the ranches on Route 1 is having some issues with some Pokemon stealing their eggs and they are paying for anyone to help. If you're looking for something in the city, I've heard that lately something has been coming out from the sewers at night though if you are looking for something to do right now, the docks are always bustling with something though it's a pretty rough crowd. If you're more into ruins, go to Route 4 though I've heard that some odd things have been going on in Starbor Woods. You look like a rookie so I'd wait for that to pass before you go."

"I wouldn't recommend this, but there is a place between Route 1 and 4. A chasm or something. From what I hear, whenever people approach it, they always without fail feel a sense of dread crawl under their skin so everyone just turns back. I wonder what's in it..." "Also, whatever you do, do not enter the forest on Route 1. I've heard tales of people entering and never being seen again." Now this was curious because if Tristan could understand anything on the map in his Pokedex, there were no woods indicated on it.
