Arrival in Gigas
The City of Gigas is unlike anything the people of Union have ever seen before. The city is immense, a sprawling metropolis that covers the land as far as the eye can see. Built up primarily around enormous centralized towers, unlike Union these towers are dark concrete buildings, covered in glass windows. The buildings seem to serve any number of functions, and have a startling variety in construction, style, and even size, creating a unique skyline that is breathtaking to behold. The city is connected with roads of asphalt, upon which whiz smoke-belching steel carriages at frightful speeds, the engines (and piercing, constant horns) creating an ever-present din that engulfs the city in loud, chaotic sound.
“Downtown,” as the Gigans know it, is a huge collection of stores, apartments, and businesses. Apparently, the larger homes are built in Calderan-style but tend to be further from the main commotion of the downtown areas, of which Gigas citizens assure Union citizens that there are several, each with their own district name and culture. The technology is quite advanced as well, full color televisions are standard in every home and built in devices so slim and with such sharp images that they seem decades ahead of Union’s own technology. Pokemon are still quite present in Gigas, many people riding flying types and the buildings having huge perches to accommodate them. As with the vehicles below, however, Gigas seems to regulate air traffic to individual lanes and the birds seem well-trained as they convey their trainers to and fro.
Humans are just that, here, Human. No unusual shapes and sizes like the Enlightened and Earthkin of the Union Alliance, and those displaying unusual traits receive odd looks. Like many civilizations to the east, Battling is a common sport though in this place it’s more like the combat arenas of old. Several stadiums dot the cityscape, the sounds of Pokemon Battles and cheering crowds echoing for blocks all around, and it’s a stadium where humans are not welcome. Unless, of course, they want to make a show and spar against a Pokemon, of course.
This is Gigas, the City of Reclamation. Union civilians have free rein to explore this grand city as councillors are invited into the massive capitol building to negotiate with the Gigan leaders. Gigas civilians, for their part, are polite, friendly even. While many of them are caught in the bustle of their daily lives they regard Union citizens with interest and curiosity, willing to talk about their city, extolling its virtues while complaining about the noise, the crowds, the lines, and the expense all the while. One thing is clear though, the people of Gigas are proud of their city and their accomplishments. This is their home, and they are eager to show it off to the world.

[Her lip quirks into a crooked smile and she makes a show of tapping her chin in thought.]
I'm familiar with it. I've only had it once, personally, and it was alright. I did not think it tasty enough to warrant the caution. Though now I'd have little trouble with it. [Being immune to toxins after all]
A few places in the southern part of the shopping district serve it. One of them, Dino's Qwilights, is well known for it. They specialize in such.

For all you've done, I would like to treat you to lunch, if that would be acceptable?
no subject
[At the suggestion, the shorter woman stops and looks at Ami with a curious smile.]
Is that a genuine offer, Doctor? Have you ever seen how much I eat?
no subject
I have a doctor's salary, I suspect one evening will not hurt, though I kindly request you not put it to the test.
no subject
[She's mostly joking.]
Just have care not to offer me dinner as well.
no subject
Well, shall we head to that restaurant? What is the name for this dish, by the by?

The menu is mostly beef-pastas, but some call for pork in the form of grumpig.]
Your thoughts? My favorite was always the cheese sauces with miltank.

And to be honest, while I do like Union's broths I find them a little less filling.
no subject
They are smaller portions, I admit, but who is to say a restaurant like this wouldn't excel in Union? I'm not a very good cook, I can follow the recipe, but the fine-tuning that comes from intuition is something I lack.

I- I'm sorry that- no one deserves that from those who should be standing by them the most.
no subject
There is no need to apologize, Doctor. It is merely something in the distant past. I outwitted her and lived to tell the tale as you can see, so do not concern yourself with such.
no subject
Still... I am glad to hear you are alright, but it doesn't excuse what she did. Is she still alive?
no subject
[Honorifics were not her way, but she understood the use at least.]
She is not. She was tried in a court of law and sentenced to exile, where she presumably perished. Nobody has seen her since I was eight years old, and that was close to twenty years ago now.
no subject
I see... still, I hope you have been able to make better memories and better connections since then.
no subject
I have. Union has been incredibly welcoming, of course. It is what you're know for.
