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.

Because they...I don't know. I guess they don't remember the lessons of the past.

[She's heard of other cultures, like Sanctuary, using them.]

I have no idea though, what reason they have for not moving towards better things. Maybe that's part of why they can't be Enlightened.

[Fuuka wanted to be optimistic but to see trainers using their Pokemon in such a way? All she could do was look downward]

I suppose not but it just seems so sad. They could move forward but they choose not to. I wonder if there's anything we can do about this.
burningblossoms: (Sympathetic)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-11 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I think not. Not yet. Maybe...when they've been exposed to our way of life longer? For now though...

...It does hurt to see Pokemon being treated that way... [She mumbled before her Meowstic gave her trainer a hug] It is difficult to stomach the thought much less have to handle it for now.

I know.

[From off to the side, Snorlord rumbles and pulls Yukiko back into him.]

Let's...maybe go somewhere else. This is just sad.

[As Fuuka gave a soft expression to her girlfriend, she nodded before leaving the stadium. Once they did so, she placed her arms around her hoping it might help some.]

...I'm sorry, Yukiko. Are you going to be okay?
burningblossoms: (Scared)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-16 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukiko, sandwiched between her lover and an irritating Snorlax in a leather jacket, sighed.]

I'm going to be alright. That's just...it's unsettling to think how different things are just a few days to the west.

It is but...I just hope that there is something that might make them change their mind.

[She said with a sigh. It was difficult to believe how different Gigas compared to the Union but perhaps it was just culture shock really]

Pokemon aren't meant for this.

burningblossoms: (Whaaaa?!)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-17 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
No, they aren't.

[She nuzzles back against Fuuka, and Snor-Lord squeezes her shoulder.]

We'll...just have to lead by example. Like Sanctuary.

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-04-17 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[She said before nuzzling against Yukiko as well. As she giggled, all Meowstic could do was give them a look.]

And before you know it, they'll learn the errors of their way!

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-17 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess so.

[She takes a breath and looks off down the street.]

We should go try some local ice cream or something. What do you think?
windyflower: (pic#8612912)

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-04-17 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! I can't wait to see what kind of flavored they have here!

[She said with a giggle before keeping her eye out on any ice cream stores!]

I wonder if it would taste any different from back home!
burningblossoms: Most From <user name=eeveelutions> or made my me (Default)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-17 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not, but maybe we'll find a new flavor?

[She's optimistic at least.]
windyflower: (pic#8497699)

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-04-19 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully!

[She said before walking over to a nearby ice cream store] Oh, we can go to that one! That one looks interesting!
burningblossoms: (Easygoing)

Let's close out here? :)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2016-04-19 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, lets!

[And so they go!]
windyflower: (Default)

Fine by me! \o

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-04-19 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[As Fuuka gave a giggle, she nodded before off they went to go get some awesome ice cream!]
