Put her back in her ball, and march back north to the forest. Time to do some training. I'll make certain to have Vivi in the front of my party.

You arrive at Chromeburg, but something seems wrong. It's afternoon, but no one's out. You've already grown familiar to the local sounds of progress – the rumbling and buzzing of the steel mills, the great chugging of the refinery. The vroom of the trucks that move supplies to and fro. The sounds of camaraderie while people walk to their places of work. No one is out and about. The smokestacks have trickled to a stop. There are no sounds of progress.

You peak into the Machine Room. It looks like some of the old equipment in here is still running, like the generator. There's a big steel doorway that's partway open – you might be able to slip into the generator room.
The loudest noise seems to be coming from the corner where a machine is scraping the wall – it seems to have been torn off its bearings by something that has tunneled out from below it.

Right you are. You got on the train and rode into Hero City – and what a city it is! The great Gravespires – filled with legends of truly powerful Pokemon and trainers – stand high above the city. As you cruise into the station, you can see the great steel-wrought gates to Victory Road, opened once a month at a sending off ceremony: everyone who is certified to enter enters the darkness at once and is sealed inside… the ultimate test of survival. Those who make it out the other side in Gray City can challenge the Elite Four.

Noted. It's dark out, but perhaps that will give you more motivation to hot-foot it to Crimsonborough.

Route 2… The Stone Forest of Tianxia. You know that this route is most famous for its population of Sudowoodo and Bonsley, but there are many roosting Pokemon that make their homes here.

You hike on up to Crimsonborough and encounter no other misfortunes along the way.
You suddenly feel very out of place as all of the Solrock and Lunatone turn and stare at you sharply.

He leads you to the back room of the calligraphy school where there are artistic depictions of various grass Pokemon. He rifles through a collection of scrolls and eventually pulls out three, and hangs them from the wall.
"These are the legendary grass types… Celebi, Shaymin, and Virizion."

You don't need to roll for moves that can't crit or fail, like Recover.

I'll hold up the sock.

I'll lightly toss the sockball to Lucas. Shouldn't be hard, since we're right next to each other.

You ignore the urban Pokemon and head out the northern gate.
Route 12… or as it was once called, Route 1. This is certainly a popular place to start. It's absolutely swarming with Youngsters – and more than a few of them have classical starters like Charmander or Squirtle. They're running about, playing… learning by doing. You doubt any of these kids went to a formal learning institution like you did.

Nearby, you spot a Pansear climbing a redwood. Up ahead, you see a Hiker and Skater battling. There is a small wooden cabin nearby, on the north side of the road.

>>1787
Yep.
You let yourself in and saunter inside. It looks like it's half hobby shop, half convention center, though it's not very large – perhaps six hundred square feet. Trainers are trading and battling Pokemon in the back room, and in the front, an old man is selling items.

"The Northern Trader, son. We're a little of this and a little of that, but for most folks we're a local supply between Crimsonborough and Cyan. Some travel some distance to trade here, though: lotta Pokemon Traders in the back."
The wavy aesthetic roads of Phlox are not helping at all. You can't pinpoint it and keep coming to dead-ends.

That's weird.
Backtrack to where I saw that Gothorita, and start from there. Follow my ears. And Lucas's '1d10'

There are different songs now. You could follow them instead – they see to be from the same area, but it isn't as beautiful as it was before.

"Oh, the essentials: more types of balls than you can count. Potions, antidotes, et cetera. Mail. Collectibles. Sometimes we get TMs in, but that's not to often. Usually we have a daily special going on – oftentimes it's an evolution related item, like a Whipped Dream or King's Rock. Today's special is Fire Stone, for just 2000P."

Well, that would explain that, wouldn't it… Maybe there are trainers inside?
"C'mon Lucas, let's have a look around."
Rub my forehead and walk around to the front door, like a normal person.

Unlike the heavily regulated MART megachain, this guy doesn't care about your gym certifications, like most rural traders. He'll sell you the best even if you haven't been to a gym – which you haven't.

Argh… nothing. The song ends before you can snap off anything good, though you do get several pictures of the curtains.
Soon the song is over and people are streaming out of the performance hall.
>>1814
A nearby neckbear gives you a smile. "Oh, yes indeed. We just started a new dungeon crawl season – well, actually this week is the dead week, so we're working on compositions, but next week we start up! This is the best week to get in on trades. Speaking of which – I happen to have a Chancey up for trade if you have a Fletchinder or Talonflame."
>>1815
Well, you're already well familiar with the rocky pond nearby. Will you return and admire the hoodoos where the wild pokes are, or will you head up along the lake to the gates of Server Valley?

The usher shakes his head. "Unfortunately, that was a guest appearance. I don't know what to make of it – I'm sure if the owner knew they'd be here and it would draw such a crowd, he would have charged for admission. I confess – I don't even know what kind of Pokemon that was. I can tell you the owner's name, though."

Opposing Chikorita fainted.

Okay – so maybe 'gates' was a little bit metaphorical. Server Valley is an open city, mostly characterized by urban sprawl. It only has the north gate to Route 5. You do see it from far off, though: the towering buildings are quite a sight next to the rocky shore of the lake, and you notice how much of the land here – normal streets and walkways are reinforced by concrete and rebar. Entrances to subways everywhere – what a bustling city! You know that this is the home to the master Smarts competition, too.

"If you want in on the new season of dungeon crawling, you should ask Gabe. Otherwise, feel free to look around for trades."

"Some of the guys found this stronghold up north that is notorious for having powerful Pokemon in it. Something about the place… Pokeballs don't seem to work – or, well, that's not universally true, but the failure rate seems much higher, but that may just be me. Anyway, we like to head up there to see how far down into the stronghold we can get before we're forced to return to heal. You see, by working in teams, we can take on much higher level Pokemon. You might not be strong enough to join us yet, though, but I'll mark the location of the place on your map. Remember to never head down there alone. If you just want to get some practice in working with a team, I think there are some other newbies around here looking for some practice. You could join them. I think I heard they're hunting a big Fearrow that keeps buzzing them from time to time."

Server valley doesn't have much of a park. There's a square, and there are trees about for decoration, but no real park area in this city. Such is the demand for space, you suppose.
Still, you walk through the city admiring the towering 'scrapers and the sound of rail-pounding subways below. Your Shuckle sits on your head.

Skate around a bit, heading towards one of the subways. If there is an attendant, ask him about which one to take towards the Competitions. There should be plenty of other trainers hanging out there.

It looks like most of those here are using Psychic, Ghost, Grass, and Poison types. A scholarly looking man in a vest nearby is tending to his Mismagius wearing a Green Scarf.
And remember: they're not trying out Cool things here. They're trying out Smart things. These guys are doing stuff like reciting pi to the 25th digit to their Pokemon, or working with double integrals.

Fife brought up that we might want to try to catch it, but we'd all want a powerful pokemon, so I figure the fair way is to cast dice. Everybody rolls, if there's a tie, we roll off.

He leads you into a side room that has been cleared out. "My strategy is calculated around sapping my enemies while promoting our own image. Smart moves… Shadow Ball for an opener!"
Mismagius fires off a round with devious cunning. "Shadow Ball gets an extra appeal bonus if used during the first round. Other moves like Astonish, Psywave, Taunt… they startle and make opponents nervous."

"Indeed. The entire modernist idea… of optimizing Pokemon for battle… squeezing out damage… even turning something as pure as friendship into a science to be studied for cold numbers. It disgusts me. And now you've found yourself inside my Shrine. But not just anyone can find this pillar in the void, so maybe you do have potential.

"Indeed. The entire modernist idea… of optimizing Pokemon for battle… squeezing out damage… even turning something as pure as friendship into a science to be studied for cold numbers. It disgusts me. And now you've found yourself inside my Shrine. But not just anyone can find this pillar in the void, so maybe you do have potential. Let's see if you truly do have a connection with your Pokemon – or if it's all sterile and professional."

In the center of the city, the mighty Battlespire Academy looms over the rest of the populace – they're one of your rival schools. There's a gym here, too, not to mention all the services.

Because a bond between Pokemon and Trainer… lies not in the mind, but the heart. Additionally, I'd like to give you TM23. TM23 contains Smack Down. Use it against flying or levitating foes.

I'll consider a moment.
"I was thinking of taking the gym challenge as well. How's your team look?"

"You must be from pretty far away. None of those are from around here."
I'll think a minute.
"Well, the shrine almost wiped us, thanks to type disadvantage, but you should have no problem with them if you decide to stop by. The shrinekeeper uses Solrock and Lunatone, so your staryu should have no trouble. And the other shrine dweller has a pair of Spoinks that your Joltik should be able to take care of, providing it knows any bug-type attacks."

Route 5: The Trash Route, as some call it. Today is a bit overcast, but route 5 isn't very easy on the eyes either way. It's something of an urban wasteland that neither Phlox or Server Valley wants to claim responsibility for. Crumbling streets and rusted rails… under a nearby bridge you see a conclave of Grimer. Nearby, a Trubbish rummages through a trashcan.

It can take in the polluted air, purify it inside its body, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. Supposedly, flowers grow wherever it walks, and it is attracted to gratitude. It is considered a symbol of good luck and fertility."

Route 3 is in the general direction of Amber City, though you'll pass through Adapt first.
You head out the gates into the route most notorious for its powerful Pokemon: route 3. Better be careful while you're out here…
Route 3 is surprisingly wooded for being in the core of the ring cities. It's warm, humid, and seemingly tropical.

All the more camouflage for powerful and dangerous Pokemon to hide behind… no wonder so many prefer to take the train.

You blithely reach the bridge without seeing anything interesting in the dark. You consider singing a song about following her – Cinder – into the dark, but you think better of it.

You head deeper into the gym and find a man at a desk working on paperwork.
"Another student come to challenge the Master Bonder, eh? Well, do you think you've trained enough? I hope you're prepared to take on a pretty significant team. I could see from here that you are just starting out – zero certs, eh? So I'll be using just two Pokemon for you. One is level twelve, and another is level fifteen. Are you sure you're ready?"
Venom twitches her antennae at you.
Out of the mists, a blast of fire engulfs the tea pot! The unphased woman pours two glasses and offers you one.
"First drink with me and tell me your thoughts, and then, if you wish, we will battle."
She takes a sip.

I'll frown a little at Lucas separating himself from the group. But, at least he's eating. It's only been a few days since we've become partners, so I guess I can't expect him to magically be friendly right out the gate.
But, can't show that face in front of everyone else. A bad mood can ruin even a perfect meal! So I'll keep eating until everyone's finished, then gather the dishes. Are they disposable, or should we be returning them to the cart owner?
