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.

After what I'd heard, about their armies, and the past encounters with them... I think we all are, at least a little. It's not at all what I was expecting. Nor were the people.
And I'd imagine their views on pokémon must be incredibly frustrating to our friends here.
[ The extent of their technology was astonishing. It was a wonder they hadn't laughed mockingly at the warp band's existence. ..Then again, Union had accomplished things they had not, and Gigas had been forced to turn to them for help in the past. ]
no subject
[She sighs, eyes distant.] Even Sanctuary's views weren't much better, but it wasn't as bad as this. Focusing more on our capabilities with magic and not fully appreciating these bonds. Societies that strive for excellence in whatever the individual can create themselves.
no subject
There's a snort from where Elhaz is tucked up on a pillow, turning his head towards Selene. If you want to keep an eye on your trainer, you should go. Though mine is somewhat sensible. It IS only lunch. ]
Striving to survive, whatever the cost. And lacking the sort of edict that Union had.. Well. It's easy for us to judge, but if the Elite Four taught us anything at all, it is that we should allow for some flexibility in point of view.
[There's something about the uneasy look on her face as she looks around the room; it's not like she can remember her own circumstances, but part of her..can't help but feel that maybe judging more harshly isn't entirely the wrong tactic here.]
no subject
[She looks back up, noticing Sophia's expression. She knows the woman can't remember her past, though Raine can easily think of several scenarios that might have happened to her up to a point, none of them good. It's not the first time she's noticed her look like that either.]
My apologies, I didn't mean for us to get caught up in this line of thought.
[Selene levels her gaze with Elhaz. The three eyed magikarp spoke to me in a dream. We should not be here. Still, she seems to take some of what he says to consideration, before looking at Limone and nodding, slowly, though not entirely pleased at the ribbon.
The pikachu doesn't seem too happy to hear another one of those bizarre statements, let alone Ymir's grumpiness on top of that, but he knew the full reason why he was here at all was because he wouldn't have had it any other way. At least he could trust the absol - it was hard to know just what the ditto was thinking, and that unsettled him enough. Not helping...]
no subject
The absol gets stared at a moment. ...That made no sense, but okay. The Ivysaur sighs. The latter bit, I can agree with. But we are here, and its our responsibility to look out for our Humans, when they let us. Because they can't just let them wander off into danger without them, right?
Speaking of their trainers, who're busy with their own conversation.. ]
..You don't have anything to apologise for, . I think it's something about this city, and this situation. We're all hoping for the best, but we're expecting.. [her voice trails off] Well, what we're expecting hasn't happened, yet, I suppose. The wait for the other shoe to drop is very frustrating.
But, we need to make the most of the time we have. [up she stands again] And Waver mentioned that one of the cafes close to here serve very delicious krabby cakes.
no subject
Selene doesn't respond verbally, but seems to nod, taking the ivysaur's words to consideration. That had to be a more suitable reason for she decided to bond with this human, even if it was only to ... continue having questionable predictions anyway.]
... Waver always seems one step ahead where cuisine is concerned.
[She has to smile faintly at that, despite how heavy the conversation turn had felt, giving a small shake of her head as she finishes gathering her things.]
But you're right. There will be enough time for these thoughts later, especially after we've had more time to take in the city for ourselves. [... And other projects, but that was also later.] ... It seems like Selene's decided as well.
