I just can't. This is too much. Berserk was so influential on so many things that I love. Goodbye, Miura. You'll be missed by many.

Hello! Welcome to my little bio.
Not much to say, really. Just a horror game protag that likes writing and playing vidya games when I'm not being chased by the cosmic forces of darkness. (I'm a security guard that works night shifts usually).

She of course, absentmindedly listened to the info. And by that, the information went in one ear and out the other while she merely nodded along, staring up at the building with a determined gaze. Flying types were the bane of her existence...but it'd probably be fine. She only had one loss under her belt so far, and she wasn't going to keep up the losing streak. She wasn't a jobber, no sir!
"Yeah thanks for the info, see ya when I am the owner of a new badge!"
She'd say, confidently heading into the stadium, expecting the trial to be your standard battle...only to be met with something quite different.
"Soccer...match?" Claire hummed, a bit impressed, intrigued, and definitely into the idea of it. She'd walk towards where Simon was. "Oh. Hey I remember you. Claire. One of Kalmia's trainers." She'd say to Simon, giving him a winning grin. "Anyways, less small talk more battling. I'll accept the challenge!" She'd give him a thumbs up. She had the perfect team in mind already. Well, mostly.
Ralia, Zeal, and Laurel.
"I've already got a team all ready so lets start!" She'd head out onto the field, without even seeing if Simon even accepted the challenge in the first place.
Byjerlfal City, Commercial district. @PKMNB0Y Now slower than the Snivy, Sprigatitio would take another leer, now having its defense dropped twice. This however, did not stop Verdue’s own attack. With an irritable cry, the leaves around Sprigatito’s neck would grow in size more before it’d give a flick of its head in Luna’s direction. Numerous leaves launched themselves at the Snivy, the small serpent pokemon taking the brunt of the attack.
However, Luna doing as Richard instructed, pushed through the attack and its admittedly minimal damage, quickly closing the distance between herself and Verdue and slammed her body into the grass cat with everything that she had. Verdue responded with a pained yelp, but even though she had taken quite a lot of damage from that single attack, the Sprigatito didn’t go down immediately as its paws would run across Luna’s face, delivering its own scratch attack to the Snivy sending her stumbling back but still in the fight.
“Verdue-!”
Before she could even get another command out, sparks of electricity flowed along Verdue’s body, the grass cat being fully paralyzed…and easy enough for Luna to pick off with one more tackle.
”Richard won the battle! He got 2000p From winning!”
“Really,” Laurel huffed, recalling her injured pokemon to her pokeball. “You only won because it was a terrible matchup and I wasn’t able to make full use of Verdue’s moveset.” She’d say, glancing down at the small Snivy. “But yes, good job and all that I hope that can be of some use to you, now really I must be-”
“Uhm, excuse me?” Before Laurel could make any more comments about how she must be leaving, Nurse Joy would walk out of the pokemon center. “I thought you’d both like to know that the Munchlax is doing just fine. The Max Revive helped a lot and for the moment he’s doing well…a little…too well-”
“Muuunch?”
As if on cue, the munchlax would walk out behind Nurse Joy, having found some pastry somewhere. It looked towards Laurel.
“I realize this might be a little presumptuous and sudden, but why don’t one of you take him? He made quite a fuss when we were trying to patch him up.”
“Well don’t look at me, I still haven’t forgiven you for eating my lunch…”
It then looked towards Richard, hopeful and absentmindedly eating the pastry.
The Nickit’s ears swiveled towards Isla, half of the jerky hanging out of its mouth as it peered at her with a suspicious glare.
“Niii?” The Nickit trotted over to the jerky, quietly observing it and Isla both. A few seconds passed before it’d bring its head down to it, and start eating it, swiftly wolfing it down. It trotted closer to Isla, looking up at the trainer with wide, cute eyes and doing its best attempt at a disarming stare. If she wanted to, it’d let Isla pet her.
What she perhaps, didn’t see but Dancing might hear or see - was the presence of a second Nickit. It was quietly approaching them from behind. Its eyes rested firmly on Isla’s bag, no doubt planning some manner of mischief and tomfoolery.
“Ha?!” Tuule seemed a little caught off guard by the sudden use of a fighting type move. Let alone power-up punch of all things. “We’re on borrowed time here! Aron, full steam ahead and Metal Claw! No room for maneuvering!”
“Aaaar!”
The small steel type would dig its claw against the floor, choosing to instead meet the Buneary head on. As Sir Lopsalot sprung forward, his fist struck the Aron right between the eyes, earning a small squeal from the pokemon. It was not enough to deter it, though as soon Buneary would find itself being smacked again with the Aron’s claws. The entirety of Aron’s body tensed as the blow landed, the metallic sheen on its claws growing brighter and sharper!
Its attack had been raised!
“That’s it, Aron! Sharpen those claws! Chase after it!” Aron wasted no time, intending on barreling down Sir Lopsalot before it could raise its attack any further!
“Huh-? Screech?” Before Remi could process what was happening, an ear-splitting screech reverberated through the area, almost shattering the ear drums of everyone present in the process…save for Slakoth, who still seemed mostly oblivious to the loud noise. “Ow-ow we get it you like making noise-ugh!”
As Remi dealt with the noise, Riolu’s quick attacked aimed for the Slakoth sides, leaving Cottonnee mostly completely unimpeded. As Riolu would speed towards the SLakoth, slamming into with a few punches in the form of its Quick Attack, the Slakoth couldn’t take any more damage.
“Slaaa…”
”Slakoth Fainted!”
And Riolu would immediately be hit from behind with an explosive seed.
“Atta girl, Cottonnee! How do ya like that TM, huh?” Remi giggled as Riolu took the brunt of the Seed Bomb attack, the small impact explosion causing Jojo to be knocked around as Cottonne was already charging up another one. “I’m about tired of all of this so I’m gonna just end things here, alright? Another Seed Bomb, Cottonne! Take out that Riolu!” If another one hit Riolu, that was going to be it for the fighting type.
Nevine meanwhile had reached down and started petting Slakoth.
“...its okay…you did good…” She’d say, before recalling the Slakoth.
“Glare? Really…Verdue! Tail Whip!” Taking advantage of Verdue being just a smidge faster than Luna, the feline pokemon dashed forward, just in front of the Snivy before it could get off its glare and smacked it right in the face with its tail before leaping back - only for the cat to meet Luna’s glare, the Snivy’s eyes glowing a menacing red as Verdue would be struck with paralysis.
“Shake it off Verdue! Hit the snake with a scratch!” Verdue gave a mildly irritated seeming meow as it started moving towards Snivy, its speed slowed by the paralysis. Luna would take this opportunity to focus on dodging out of the way of the Sprigatito’s paws, deftly avoiding damage but also not being able to attack as Verdue continued its pursuit. Slower than Snivy now and struggling to move. Verdue got close, Luna ran, and eventually they had run in a full circle…and it looked like they were going to do it again -
“Spriii!”
However, just as Verdue went to move, it would find its body freezing, sparks of electricity running across its fur, giving Luna just enough space to turn around and get off a single Leer.
“Hmph…not bad, though just be lucky my failsafe doesn’t work on grass types…” Laurel commented. “Verdue, if it wants to run, then fine. It might not be too effective, but hit it with a leafage! If it gets close, scratch it!” The leaves around Verdues neck glowed green, and were already growing in size.
So Isla, would attempt finding some pokemon. It shouldn’t be too hard. Above the treeline she could even spot some hoppips floating around, dancing in the wind above the forests and happily getting some sunshine…though getting one down might be a tad bit difficult. Instead, she’d turn her attention towards the ground. A piece of jerky tossed on the ground with her hiding some distance away.
It wouldn’t be long before a pokemon would take some interest in it.
It was a small fox pokemon, with red fur and a somewhat impish expression. It’d quietly run up to the jerky, sniff it, and start eating it. The Nickit hadn’t seen her yet, but it wouldn’t be long until either it did or would run off, so she’d have to act fast.
Supposing that she didn’t want to bother the fox pokemon though, she could keep searching instead and she used the same methodology as earlier…
A teddiursa, this time would come quietly walking along. It’d look curiously around, wide eyed looking around almost as if it was a bit lost, but otherwise it didn’t seem like it was too interested in the jerky itself. It’d sniff it, but it was already going to be quickly moving along.
And lastly if she still continued her search and didn’t want to bother the bear, a Buneary would come hopping along, stomping right over the jerky, apparently not having seen it. As it did so, it’d get spooked and end up tripping over its feet as it’d land its hop awkwardly and turn to inspect the jerky that had accosted it.
1. Find pokemon (Specify if you’re looking for anything in particular or how you look) 2. Find trainers to battle (Probably not hard to find other trainers to battle here of varying skill levels) 3. Train pokemon. (Skip the grind, and we get to the result. Tell me how you train and if you just grind wild mon or some other creative training) 4. Move along. (Don’t want to engage with anything and move quickly to the next destination? Go ahead, then. A few events may prevent this.) 5. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.) 6. Area Specific: There are a handful of fishermen along the river. Perhaps they might have something interesting. 7. You could always head back to Byjerlfal 8. Alternatively, you can access the Winding wood from here, and carrying on through route 1 will eventually lead you to Pines End.
“Kokoko…” The Krokorok chuckled at Camila before thumping its tail on the ground and looking towards the two pokemon remaining. Without waiting for instruction from its trainer, the sand reptile ran towards the Shroodle, causing the pokemon to shriek in utter terror.
“Shroodle! D-doge it!”
But it was too late, the Korokorok was faster, stronger, and likely much higher level than the Shroodle. As soon as it was within striking distance, the Krokorok snatched the shroodle up in its jaws, and like it had done with the Vullaby, toss it around like a doll before launching it aside, KO’ing it in a swift few moments.
And without Vullaby to shield the weaker Starly, Snow acted swiftly.
“Starly! Quick attack again!”
But not quite so fast enough to outspeed a quick attack from the opponent. The bird launched itself forward at breakneck speeds, slamming into the Vulpix. Snow would find itself being knocked around again, its paws barely able to keep a grip on the ground and stop itself from getting knocked over. However, what might have previously just Ko’ed the vulpix…instead it would respond with a a powder snow, inhaling and blasting a breath of frigid air towards the starly as flecks of ice would batter its body.
“Star…lllly….” With a tired cry, it would fall to the ground, Ko’ed.
Camila won the battle!
“Tch…When miss Keira hears about this you’ll all be takin a long walk off the pier!” One of the suited men shouted as they all recalled their pokemon. They proceeded to flee before anything else could stop them. The girl, having finished pulling all the pokemon out of the cages, would shoo the last one away and allow them to leave, not seeming concerned with chasing after them.
“...hm…good work. Not half bad.” She’d say. “Forgot to introduce myself earlier. Clara. Redheads Sable.” Sable would walk out from behind Camila giving the trainer a thumbs up as she moved over to Clara. Krokorok would waltz over, folding its arms in a stereotypical cool guy pose across its arms. "And that's Koko. He's something of a tryhard."

Livia’s gaze turned towards Lucrecia, blue eyes seeming to glow lightly with arcane power, a small frown forming on her features.
“And she’ll get healing, Lucrecia.” A curt, no nonsense reply. “Move to assist Eliz, Lyssa, and Katherine. That is an order. I already said I’ll look after things here.” The harsh tone took a slightly softer inflection as she’d sigh. “I know a trick or two about healing. Now move before more people get hurt.”
“...I shall leave this to you then, Lady Fiore.” Cassandre nodded, though she didn’t seem to certain but as things stood, if the others needed her help then lady Fiore was right. It would be better served stopping another demon from getting loose. “For as brief as we work together, I look forward to cooperating. Shall we?” Supposing there was nothing else for Polina or Lucrecia to do here, Cassandre would take point after using some divine spells to patch up Polina’s wounds.
Eliz’ time crush could make targeted attacks, snuffing out the fire before it spread but unless she wanted to weaken the underground vault, she couldn’t stop all of it. Xivi too, could only help so much. Her acidic, corrosive breath and water had already ate some holes into the floor and the pillars holding up the ceiling. They were on a timer here, and they needed to act faster than not if they wanted to stop this entire place from becoming rubble.
“Fate?! Bwahahaa rich coming from a demon you pathetic mortal loving whelp!” The possessed woman responded with a demonic, howling laughter at hearing Eliz’ declaration. “Or did you forget, whelp!?” The demonic fire was already spreading outwards, the inferno quickly spreading across the floor and the relic room. “Demons don’t have fate to destroy!”
Moving closer to the demon was…a bad idea. The crimson fire it loosed earlier had radiated outwards in front of it. The dolls that had gotten closer were engulfed in fire, their structure seeming to rot and decay from the inside, weakening them.
The possessed woman herself inhaled again as more chains tried to hold her down, but in turn they too started to decay, rust, and become weaker the moment they touched her, not holding her down for too long. The water didn’t help much, turning into steam before it even touched her such was the intensity of the fire. If Katherine wanted to restrain her more than having her be merely hindered, she’d likely have to focus entirely on the demon while also getting assistance from her dolls or get creative with the timing.
“Now rot in hell you whelps! I’ll burn this entire pathetic word to ash!” As the fire continued to spread, the demon raised a hand to the ceiling. A vortex of fire formed in her hand, swirling in the air above her.
Whatever she was doing, it was going to be big.
“Tch, she’s gonna use that….” Xivi replied to Katherine. “I wouldn’t count on outlasting her. Last time we tussled, it was a week-long affair, and back then the humans were effectively immortal…” The small demon huffed. “LISTEN UP YOU WHELPS! She’s gonna do something big, but if you wanna beat her you’re gonna have to get rough with her!”
“Tch, good! I was about tired of just sitting here being super cute!” Lyssa retorted.
….and this would be the scene Polina, Lucrecia, and Cassandre find themselves stumbling in on.
“H-huh? Me? A battle?” Laurel sighed. “Really you think I have time to battle with the likes of you.” Despite the harsh words, the young woman would place the Sprigatito on the ground, who immediately went over and started sniffing the Snivy before batting playfully at the snake pokemons tail. “Be grateful that I am taking time out of my busy day, and try not to cry when I soundly trounce you.”
“Spriii?”
“...oh right, ahah, we probably shouldn’t battle in the pokemon center.” Supposing Richard agreed and moved outside with Verdue and Laurel, the other trainer walked a few paces away, enough to make a decently sized field between the two pokemon. “Ahem, alright. Since I’m being gracious enough to help your Snivy there, I’ll try to go easy on them. Ready, Verdue? This will be out first proper trainer battle.”
“Spriiii!”
“Good. Well, then, Richard? I shall let you determine the flow of battle, here.”
“Ah, Sprigatito huh. Impish little felines. I almost wish they were a fairy type…” For some reason, the professors chibi avatar was sporting cat ears.
Pokemon successfully registered.
Sprigatito, the Grass Cat pokemon.
A friendly, mischievous pokemon. Every time it steps, glands in its paws release a sweet, enchanting scent. Often found in fields of wild flowers and meadows.
500p gained!”
The Museum, is still here. You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2. The contest hall isn’t particularly far from here. Might be a few trainers loitering about in the streets? There’s also a few pokemon you could run into here, if you wanted to search. A pokemart might have some good items if you wanted something. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
“H-huh? Oh hey Jill…a…a bucket? Uhm, sure?” Frieda replied, a bit confused by the sudden request. Pix was sitting on her shoulders, munching happily on some pastry and gave Jill a friendly, excitable wave. “Should be one in the cleaning closet near the restroom, right over there.”
It wouldn’t be hard to find it, now all she had to do was get back to the battle…
Slakoth had already raised its arm as high as it could go by the time Yuu had finished giving his commands. Riolu barely had time to speed forward, grabbing the monkey pokemon and hefting her. Just as the Riolu lifted her, the Slakoth lowered its arm with surprising speed, the powerful muscles of the sloth hurtling through the air and-
“Slaaa…!”
Just barely missing Riolu's feet as it landed on top of the Slakoth who was now facing the opposite direction that he had been earlier.
“Now Cottonnee!” Remi shouted. Just as Jojo landed, the pokemon would be buffeted by a sparkling, pink wind, slamming into the Riolu and knocking it off balance and causing it to stumble off of the Slakoth and land right on top of the Aipom…just in time for Jill to return with her bucket of water, splashing it over Riolu and Aipom both, and incidentally waking Aipom up.
“H-hey….is that even legal…?” Remi grumbled lightly, but simply shook his head and smiled in return. “Alright, I think its about time we wrapped this battle up pretty soon, don’t ya think?” Remi said. The two of them were clearly at a slight disadvantage here. Slakoth was busy dozing off and had already taken a bit of a beating from having a furious monkey repeatedly scratch it. Cottonne hadn’t taken much damage, but at the same time Riolu and Aipom hadn’t taken much damage either, though that super effective fairy wind had definitely hurt the fighting type.
“Alright.Cottonne, you know what to do girl.”
“Neeeee!”
Whatever that meant. The Cottonne was already flapping its little arms in preparation to move.
@Vertigo Chloe, was late. That much was evident if the two apparent new trainers battling outside was anything to go by but she didn’t have the luxury of time to discuss anything with them unless she wanted to be even more late. Thankfully, too, she had been able to get in when Jill had left the lab, the otherwise locked and secured doors being open just long enough for her to get in and find herself into the lobby.
….only to find it completely empty. Not a sign of any people at all, for the moment. The doors behind the reception desk was open, and seemed to be the only way forward at the moment unless she wanted to hang around the lobby, but if she was already late then perhaps it might be better to go looking around?

The training, went surprisingly well. By having her other pokemon assist Jade, the Sprigatito was able to easily pick up some tricks and fighting ability on her own. Granted, this was no place to train a baby pokemon, but she wasn't also about to head all the way back to pureplain just for training. A few close calls were probably fine...and after a few hours of battling, a small break for some lunch, Ralia and Jade definitely getting along and not fighting according to her own intuition, Claire moved on, zipping across Route 8 towards Freecape town.
What did she expect when she got to Freecape town? Certainly not whatever was currently in front of her.
"Wooooah..." They didn't have anything like this sight back in Kalos. The entire city looked like it might have just been one giant skyscraper. "Jeez this place is HUUUUGE!" Claire stood at the edge of the city, craned neck looking up at the large buildings that seemed to run along the entire cliffside. Now, she could continue on towards her destination, but for now...she probably should relax, see the sights, and you know, tackle the thing every trainer worth their salt should do.
Gyms!
A flying type gym? She had a distinct disadvantage here a bit, but who cared. She could probably handle it.
Laurel at least, seemed like she was relieved they weren’t going to press the issue if the sigh was anything to go by.
“Well, if that will be all then,” However, she did not seem to be too keen on hanging around, at least until the Fletchling still nesting on her head made an irritable chirp. “...take this ornery pokemon back, would you?”
“Ahaha, I think he likes ya miss.” Kennet replied with a cheeky grin, not making a move to recapture the Fletchling.
“Well, that makes one of us…”
“Aw, don’t be like that.” Kennet turned his attention towards Richard. “Well, if she’s particularly shy…the easiest way to help a shy pokemon is to start with some confidence boosting, right? A no pressure battle is always a good way to go about it.”
“Haa…what use is a pokemon that is too shy to protect their trainer?” Laurel replied with a dismissive huff. "...perhaps something happened in its past that made it timid? Pokemon aren't too different from humans really and perhaps it needs some help.”
“Aha, you worded that a little harshly but I think I get your point.” Kennet pulled something out of his pocket. “That said, I think I know what to give you for helping me now, Richard. Here, I think this should help your pokemon a bit, too.” It was a tiny bell on the end of a red thread.
”Richard obtained a Soothe Bell!
A small bell to be tied, held, or otherwise worn by a pokemon. It rings a soothing melody that seems to be beloved by pokemon and calms them.”
“Might help your partner stay a bit calmer in battle.” A small look of realization dawned upon Kennet's features. “Ah! Fletchling come on we gotta get going. We’re gonna be late for the delivery. Hey, if you’re ever by the ranch stop by! I’ll give ya a proper thanks for helpin’ me out here later!” Unless stopped, Kennet proceeded to leave the pokemon center. Fletchling gave a chirp, and followed Kennet out.
“Sprrri?” Verdue was now nuzzling Richards legs, giving him a cute, wide eyed stare.
“Tsk, Verdue, leave him alone. No one wants your fur all over them…” She picked up the cat, who proceeded to meow cutely and rub itself against Laurel’s clothes, getting its fur, all over her. She seemed totally fine with that. “Ahem…well…it was good to meet you, Richard.” Laurel glanced to the side, seemingly unsure how to continue. “I know that country bumpkin said a battle might help. Perhaps training it against some wild pokemon would help? Or you could always find a trainer willing. Now if you'll excuse me...”
Verdue raised one of her paws, as if volunteering. Perhaps Richard could request such a battle from her.

Byjerlfal City, Alleyway @Thayr Commercial district
“Growl?” The Hisuian Growlithe cocked its head, looking towards the direction of Isla but by the time it had done so, Isla had already vacated the premises. It was probably fine to let the kids be kids, as it were. They had a pokemon with them, so they’d probably be fine…though maybe Isla could have joined them in their escapades, was she so inclined. Making her way out of the city would be easy enough, and as she neared the cities edge from the commercial district, she’d slowly find the noise and hum of city life slowly fading away into the background as she came upon….
-Route 1-
What greeted her was the forest Route 1 was known for. Fed by water runoff from various streams and rivers that fell from the mountains to the north and Lake Peltra, the forest was allowed to flourish. Lush, verdant and green, and once she got a few meters away the noise of the city would already be drowned out by the greenery and the slowly thickening canopy. Walking along the path she’d pass by a small stream before the city would disappear entirely behind her in the foliage, a gentle stream of sunlight filtering down from above.
Nearby the path split into a small fork, where some helpful info for trainers and people seemed to be posted. A map of the forest and a warning officially issued by the League for novice trainers to stay out of the deeper forest. Someone had left a heavily modified off road motorcycle of some sort parked here. It was probably fine to leave it alone.
Otherwise, there was nothing super special to notice here, with route 2 being the main avenue of traffic between Byjerlfal and Giervor. A few houses could be seen for those that wanted a little more peace and quiet outside of the city, but it was mostly just other people going for peaceful walks and the like. Along the river, a few people fishing could be seen out on a pier.
A little further on she could see a small sign and a path that read ‘Winding Wood.”
Now then, what would she do from here? Perhaps she was curious about the winding wood, despite the professors warning…
1. Find pokemon (Specify if you’re looking for anything in particular or how you look) 2. Find trainers to battle (Probably not hard to find other trainers to battle here of varying skill levels) 3.

“Preparin’ for a typhoon is always good, but don’t get complacent!” Tuule shouted. “Aron! Metal Claw!” The Aron got low to the ground, wiggling its body as it’d take off running towards the Buneary. Sir Lopsalot was much faster, pulling its body into a defensive posture, curling its ears around its head as Aron’s claws shone with a silver sheen. Lashing forward, its claws hit the Buneary…sending Sir Lopsalot bouncing across the floor, but with his defenses raised it hurt much less than it would otherwise.
“Back off, Aron! Being too aggressive will get one sunk faster than an anchor through the deep!” To this end, after bouncing the Buneary around, Aron would immediately move to put some distance between itself and the Buneary.
Now what would Clarissa do?
Find pokemon (Specify if you’re looking for anything in particular or how you look) Find trainers to battle (There might be a few people here looking to tussle, especially the sailors.) The Resort and Commercial districts can be easily accessed from here. The residentials a bit of a walk. Area Specific: Order some food? Tuule’s here, he might be fun to talk to if you ask him something or have some reason to say hi. He might not be around for much longer, considering hes a gym leader. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
The starly was first to move, covering the distance between itself and Vulpix in a near blink of an eye. It slammed its body into Vulpix, sending the fox pokemon stumbling backwards and knocking it off balance. Shroodle was already rearing its head back slightly - but then immediately stopped, its eyes almost seeming to widen in terror as its movements were slowed. This allowed Snow to regain her footing, inhaling as another gust of frigid air would blast towards the Vullaby and starly.
“Vuuulll!” Vullaby, once again, took the brunt of the ice attack, flapping its wings as it blasted a powerful gust of air towards the fox and cutting through the frigid air. It hit Snow, sending her blasted backwards, rolling along the ground.
At least the Shroodle missed its attack at least, Vulpix being knocked around by the gust causing it to land onto the ground on a puddle next to her.
As Snow got back to her feet, Camila could tell she wasn’t doing too well. Vullaby seemed just as injured as she was. It was having trouble standing, one of its wings hanging at its side while it glare angrily at Snow while the Starly continued to use the Vullaby as a shield. Shroodle was scurrying a bit away, still seemingly terrified by something.
“Hope you have another pokemon in there, lass cuz your little fox looks like its on its last legs!” One of the suited men shouted derisively. “Vullaby use-”
The ground under Vullaby suddenly opened up, and as the flying type was taking flight in order to avoid the Dig attack, a sandy colored pokemon with black stripes launched itself from the ground, clamping its jaws around the flying type, hitting it with a vicious Crunch.
“H-ha!?” The three suited men were, understandably, shocked by the sudden appearance of a Krokorok as it slung the Vullaby around in its jaws, the flying type squawking before it was rather savagely tossed aside into a tree.
”The opponent Vullaby Fainted! Snow grew to level 6!”
“Kokoko.” As it stood between Camilia and the three men now, it seemed to be…laughing, calmly staring at the three of them.
“Thanks for being a good distraction.” The somewhat familiar voice of the girl she had met earlier interrupted from somewhere behind the men. “It amazes me how useless and blind criminals are.” If Camila happened to look, she'd notice most of the cages were now empty. The white haired woman would toss an empty one to the Krokorok, who’d catch it in his jaws and proceed to chew and crunch it until it was useless scrap and spitting it out in front of the men.
“E-ey! That’s gotta be some cruel and unusual punishment!”
“Says the one locking up pokemon.” The woman said towards the men as she turned her attention to Camila. “Hey, cutie. Clean up those two will you? Krokorok there will help.”
The Shroodle and Starly suddenly seemed very concerned about their chances.

@Vertigo "Ugh. Why the hell do you...sparkle so much? My eyes hurt just looking at you. Haa...whatever. At least your taste in pokemon is pretty great. Anyways, welcome aboard. Hm? There's something behind me? Eh? Gotta try harder than that to spook me, sparkles. Welcome aboard. Don't be late."
Laurel’s cheeks colored a small bit of red as she’d glance to the side.
“...Here.” Laurel pulled something out of her bag - a Max Revive! And handed it to Richard. “Simply put, I’ve already taken care of what happened here. That little food thief should be grateful I decided to stand up for it, hah.” Laurel ran a hand through her hair with an annoyed huff as she’d grab Verdue from the ground and hold the cat pokemon in her arms.
“Uh…well, thanks? Kennet said, a bit perplexed at both Laurel’s words and the manner at which she spoke. “This should get the little guy back on his feet at least…though it might still be a good idea to take him to a pokemon center.”
“Well, that is none of my business.” Laurel rather taciturnly replied.
Assuming they did use the Max revive on the Munchlax, the hungry pokemon immediately sat up.
“Muuuunch…?”
“Well, you two can probably handle it from here, so I’ll be taking my lea-ah!” Before she could make an exit, the Fletchling zipped off of Kennet’s shoulder, and decided to make its new nest, right in Laure’s hair. “G-get off you stupid bird!”
The bird in question, only chirped irreverently.
“Ahaha, I think he likes ya miss.” Kennet grinned.
“Well that makes one of us - ah, Verdue wait-!” The Sprigatito leaped out of Laurel’s arms and playfully walked over to the munchlax before batting at it a few times. “...looks like I’ll have to. Fine. I’ll come with but just know my time is extremely valuable.”
The now trio made their way from the park, back into the commercial district and towards the pokemon center. The now awake Munchlax being a bit easier to carry than if it had fainted. It was a quick trip and once they were there, they’d be met with the pokemon centers staff and a team of nurses.
”You’re the one we get a call about? Nurse Joy, don’t you worry we’ll take care of this little guy. A team of Chansey and a few other handlers would take the injured Munchlax from them, the little guy seeming a little confused as to what was happening, but upon one Chansey rather firmly stuffing an apple in its mouth, it went along without a fuss. “If you would wait out here, I’ll file a report and get it sent to the police.” The inside of the pokemon center was sleek, decorated in pinks and whites with a pristinely washed and cleaned floor. A small waiting and rest area was to their left with vending machines, a Cafe and a standard pokemart had been setup on the other side in typical fashion.
“Ahem…well…” Laurel hesitantly spoke up, the Fletchling still nesting in her hair. “If you’re still interested…I was having a picnic with my little Verdue. That food thief showed up and decided it wanted to steal my food when I was distracted by Verdue being uhm…cute…” She’d cleared her throat. “A-anyways I tried running it off. Some utter fool decided I needed help. Suffice to say I ran him off and then went to buy a max revive…and then well…we stumbled on the other. That’s it.”
Well, it was rather anticlimactic perhaps, but at least the situation seemed resolved for the moment. Seems like she was being a little evasive, but it didn't seem like she was lying about having dealt with it herself, though.
The Museum, is still here. You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2. The contest hall isn’t particularly far from here. Might be a few trainers loitering about in the streets? There’s also a few pokemon you could run into here, if you wanted to search. A pokemart might have some good items if you wanted something. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
Byjerlfal City, Alleyway @Thayr Commercial district
Stepping into the alleyway next to the museum would reveal that it was surprisingly clean and well kept, at least for an alley. It seemed like the area behind the museum was pushed up against a bunch of other buildings. Some large, some small, but either way the effect was the same - a veritable maze of corridors.
Thankfully though, she didn’t have to go too far to find Zach.
“Huh, a Hisuian Growlithe. Visit the reserve or find someone else with one? Either way, these guys are rare these days.” The professor on the pokedex would down a cup of coffee.
Pokemon successfully registered.
Growlithe, the Scout Pokemon
These pokemon from the old Sinnoh region are often seen traveling in pairs to safely navigate what was once their volcanic home region. Extremely loyal and curious, their fur possess fragments of igneous rock.
500p gained!”
It seemed as though…he was meeting with a few other kids around his age, if a little younger.
“Alright, now that we’ve gotten away from the others!” He’d say, excitedly to the group of about six others. “We can explore Byjerlfal all by ourselves!”
“Yeah!”
“We can go to the industrial district!” “Why would you wanna go there! I wanna see the contests!” “Yeah! I Bet we could even sneak backstage!” “I-I wanna see the lab! And the park! I hear there’s lots of pokemon there we can’t find in Wailport…!”
It seemed at least there was nothing nefarious going on here, just a bunch of kids being kids and sneaking out so they could see the city more…
The museum is here, if you’d want to go back in. That kid might be the one the teacher was looking for. You can get to Route 1, 2, and 25 from here easily enough. Industrial and Resort district are easily accessible from here, if you’d want to visit the beach or the warehouses… Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
“Oh? It seems we do have a challenger.” The rough looking man at the table chuckled, watching Clarissa walk over, being led by an eager Buneary. “Alright. Bets. Who says the kid gets their ass kicked?” Seemed he didn’t have a high opinion of her chances. There was a small laugh from the gathered sailors, but she did hear a few shouts telling her to kick Tuule’s butt in turn - seemed if nothing else they were eager to see an underdog fight win.
Tuule himself simply watched Clairssa approach with a cool, steely expression. A small twinge of a smirk plastered on his weathered, old lips, hands in his coat pockets as she’d walk into the arena the club had.
“Brave lass, aren’t ya?” He’d say. “And a brave little rabbit huh?” A small chuckle as he’d pull a pokeball from his coat pocket. He’d bring the pokeball up to his face, gazing at the ball with a light smirk. “Normally I’d say you’re far too weak to weather a storm, lass, but lucky for you the sea’s fairly calm today.”
Stretching the arm out, Tuule would open the pokeball, and out came-
“I had an Aron once. I stubbed my toe on it more often than not because it liked sleeping next to my feet…” The small professor on the screen of the pokedex was typing away at a computer with an Aron sitting next to her feet.
Pokemon successfully registered.
Aron, the Iron Armor Pokemon.
Normally living deep in the mountains, Aron feeds on rich deposits of Iron. If it can’t find enough to feed, it ventures down and eats anything metal from cars, railroad tracks, or anything else mineral rich it can get its paws on. When it evolves, its shed skin becomes incredibly valuable and a good source for construction material and use in daily lives.
1000p gained!”
The Aron stood strong in front of Tuule, letting out a little battle cry of challenge.
This was not a good matchup, but then again, Tuule was a steel type expert…it was unlikely going to be a good matchup for a normal type, regardless of what he chose.
The Wobbufett had already taken their drink orders, disappeared into the kitchen and returned with whatever their drink preferences was, even if they didn't actually tell them, somehow. Don't think too hard about a Wobbufett's psychic abilities. Beryl would be out a bit after, bringing with her the food she had just cooked up.
"Oh, your friend fighting Tuule?" She'd say. "Ooh, that's not gonna be a good matchup. Normal Vs. A steel type. Hope that little fella knows some fighting' type moves."

“Heh, I’m not worried about me thinking to slow. You should be worried about you thinking too much.” Remi responded, a confident smirk as he’d hear what Yuu would be doing next. Jojo would launch himself towards the Cottonnee and Remi, who’d seem entirely unconcerned would watch as the Riolu sped over before Cottonne could get the absorb off - though it didn’t quite go as Yuu had planned. “Cottonne, stop the attack!”
The fluff ball would let out a small squeal and powered down the attack, earning a small annoyed huff just before he got the absorb off, forfeiting his turn and attack it seemed as he was pressed into the Slakoth for instead, extremely minimal damage from behind as Aster would unleash a flurry of scratches in the short time her body had.
“Ah…uhm…Slakoth…!”
The Aipom struck the Slakoth with blow after blow, managing to land quite a few before her body finally gave out, forced to sleep as the drowsiness finally overtook her, falling asleep right in front of Slakoth.
“Hey Nevvy, they know an Egg move, right?” Quietly, Remi would whisper to Nevine so that Yuu and Jill couldn’t hear.
“Uhm…yes?”
“Follow my lead this turn, then and use it. Also tell Slakoth to spin a little!”
“Cottonnee, leap into the air and use Helping Hand!” Following instructions, Cottonne prepared to launch itself into the air, using its lightweight to float fairly high into the air as its body glowed in a faint green light, intent on powering up Slakoth’s next move. Notably, the Cottonnee had moved out of range of what a single quick attack or leap could get to it.
“Uhm…Slakoth…Hammer Arm on the Aipom and…spin?”
Slakoth was already raising its right arm, admittedly, a bit lazily - but if that thing hit Aster, it was going to hurt. Its other arm was lightly pulling itself along the ground in an effort to turn itself to face Riolu. With Aster on the ground in front of Slakoth, there was no dodging it unless someone else did something.
You’re in Camphor’s lab, but she’s probably not feeling very sociable right now. The contest hall is currently holding a master-rank championship contest. Perhaps you could inquire how you could participate yourself. The resort area is famous for its well, resort. Sandy, sunny beaches, amusement park, Casino…and gym. Its often considered the toughest gym in the region. You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2. Perhaps there could be something interesting in the Commercial district or the Industrial district. You also saw a park on the way to the lab. Might be a good place to start, if you really wanted to stay in the city or avoid heading out, for a bit.
The woman glanced towards Camila, shrugging and stuffing her hands in her pockets in a lazy, mildly unconcerned manner as she’d instead relax her shoulders, move behind Camila, give her a thumbs up with an encouraging ‘you can do it’ look. It did not seem like this woman had any pokemon whatsoever on her person.
Immediately upon battle start, A gentle dusting of snow would start to fall thanks to Vulpixs Ability, Snow Warning, boosting its defense by one stage.
“Ah, jeez, that little brats got a hidden ability!”
“Doesn’t matter we out number ‘em! That red over there doesn’t seem like she has a pokemon!”
“Shroodle, hit ‘em with a Leer!”
“Vullaby do the same!”
“Starly, hit that fox with a tackle!”
Shroodle was surprisingly fast, able to give a small cry of affirmation as it’d move away from the birds to avoid being hit by the powder snow, an angry, menacing glare being delivered to the Vulpix, lowering her physical defense - but Vulpix was able to act faster than the Vullaby or Starly as she inhaled, a blast of frigid, cold wind blasting towards the two birds. Vullaby took the brunt of the attack, covering for the weaker Starly as it stood strong against the frigid gust of wind, but as it too would start moving -
“Vulll!?” The vullaby let out a startled cry, its leer move unable to work?! This left it floundering as it tried to figure out what happened, but it didn’t stop the Starly from speeding out from behind the Vullaby now, making a beeline for Vulpix with a flying tackle, slamming into the fox pokemon and knocking her back a bit as the Starly immediately returned behind the Vullaby.
“Oi, what gives Vullaby!?”
“V-vull?” The pokemon seemed just as confused as the trainer.
“Well don’t just stand there! Do it again!”
“V-vulll!” The Vullaby squawked, clearly unable to use a Leer attack for some reason.
“Tch, whatever, just use Gust then!”
It didn’t seem like the pokemon had any problem using a gust attack, however.
“Shroodle, Acid spray!”
“Starly, use a quick attack!”

Claire wasn't sure what she was expecting. With the sounds coming from the ship, she couldn't help but to grimace a bit from what she was hearing. Were they subduing some super ultra legendary pokemon? A troublesome pokemon that she was going to have annoy her? She already had one of those - Lure was already more of enough of a handful for her, but what she wasn't expecting was something so...so...
Claire inhaled, practically teleported over to the green kitten causing Ralia to lose her footing on Claires head and tumble to the ground, with a mildly annoyed expression.
"Perfect!" Claire's eyes lit up upon seeing the Sprigatitio. "Gah its so cute I'm gonna die." Claire swiped the Sprigatito from the arms of the pirate, a wide, huge grin plastered on her features. Ralia walked up to Claire, turning her head up to the cat currently being cuddled by the trainer.
The Sprigatito looked back, the pairs eyes meeting.
A Cheshire like grin spread across the kittens face, earning a shocked expression from Ralia followed by a glare from the psychic type.
Claire, was of course oblivious to this budding rivalry as the Sprigatito meowed innocently, cuddling its apparent new trainer in return.
"Hmm...lets see...you'll need a good name...Verdue? Ah, I know, Jade. How do you like that?"
"Spriii~"
"Atta girl, I knew you had a great sense of style." Claire giggled, setting the cat down next to Ralia as Claire turned back to Zachary. "I'll take her. Thanks a bunch! Oh, I'll need to send someone back...hm..." Gah, she hated doing this. Why couldn't she just bring everyone with her? Hmph...well...Jade was a grass type. "Sorry Pip, go back for now 'kay? Welcome to the team, Jade."
Jade proceeded to rub up against Claire's feet as Ralia teleported to the top of Claire's head, patting her trainers red hair with her little arms in an apparent display of displeasure at having this new addition to the team.
"Alright well...first things first then. Getting you trained and up to par with the rest of our crew, huh?" Claire grin, pulling out her mach bike. Supposing there was nothing else for Zachary and crew to say to her, Claire would speed off to Route Six again for a little training.
