First Dango: Arrival at Union. [Video/Action]

[deadlydango]

[The video feed that comes through this fine afternoon is clearly another newbie, if the dialogue and positioning are any indication. It’s actually upside down, and the person looking at it is scowling just a bit.]

Geez, does this thing even work? Stupid…blinking. Quit it!

[It clicks off, and then back on rightside up as the woman frowns at it.]

There. Good. [Clearing her throat, the woman puts on an obviously forced smile.] Yo. Not sure who all can see this, but hey.

[Hooking a thumb at herself, Anko’s tone shifts to a brash, almost cocky tone.]

I’m Anko, from up north in Citadel. Came down here to check out what’s going on in Union, and to do a little research. If there’s anyone with experience around the mountains, particularly with mapping, let me know. I’m looking for someone, and that’s the last place I saw her.

[The video shuts off without further information. She doesn’t really expect anyone to help, but who knows with Unionites. They didn’t have to come fight that monster, either.]

Action

[And around Union, Anko’s not hard to find. She’s trotting through the streets wearing a heavy coat despite the heat, occasionally poking her head into a sweets shop and emerging with a dango or some other snack in hand. She does this at literally every shop between the gate and the library, taste-testing to find the best.

Now, when she reaches the library, she isn’t exactly the quietest person there. In fact, she’s actually pretty damn noisy, since she’s hardly trying to walk quietly. She’s there for several hours going through books and maps and journals, huffing noisily each time she finishes, seemingly unsatisfied. Who’d have thought research was hard. Ugh…]

That...is a lot. Geez. That's more than I think I've ever seen, actually.

[Citadel doesn't have nearly the variety, clearly.]

The more you explore, the more you'll see. The Verdant Forest alone is home to over twenty Pokemon species.

[deadlydango]

Geez...but...how many of them are bugs?

[Video]

[toxicrevenger]

A few. There are also a lot of Grass types and the Scorched Forest has a lot of Fire types there.

[Pause.]

Why? Were you hoping to bond with a Bug type first?

[Video]

[deadlydango]

Gods no. I am not a fan. I was actually leaning more towards a grass type.

I would recommend a Budew, an Oddish or a Bulbasaur, then. They can all be found in the Verdant Forest. You might be able to get one at the Breeding Center, too, depending on which eggs are available.

Breeding Center?

[toxicrevenger]

Pokemon who are ready to mate are checked in there. Anyone who checks in a Pokemon is welcome to adopt an egg. Your Pokemon will be returned with an egg after anywhere between eight to fourteen days after you've checked him or her in, with an egg that typically takes about two more weeks to hatch.

Ah...well, I guess that makes sense. Not something we have at Citadel, though. But probably a pretty useful service.
