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.

"Uh...no," Rise says, tapping her fingers together. "I didn't get in touch with anyone from the Council in time, and I'm kinda the fifth wheel at the Theater right now."

"How about you?"

"Oh."

Minako smiled a little.

"I don't have anything set up, either. But, it would be a great help to maybe split something." She'd been hoping to find someone just for that.

"Oh would you? Thank you so much," Rise says, wanting to perk up and slump over at the same time. "I've been worrying about this for like an hour now..."

"Haha, me, too..." Minako blushed a little. "It's been a long day, and I go separated from everyone, and then I didn't know where to stay... and I'm just... I think I'm done being a tourist for today. There was so much, it was really overwhelming." She sounded a bit relieved, too. "I'm not sure about any of the places around here, but, as long as I'm not alone, it shouldn't be as bad. Have you seen anything that looks promising?"

Oh good, things are actually looking up. "There's plenty of hotels around which is weird considering how isolated they are, I just couldn't afford a room on my own and have enough money left for the rest of the week. I guess we should look at one of the more affordable ones..."

"Sure. I saw one down this way that looked pretty decent. We can find out what the room rate is." She gestured back in the direction she had come from. "I think, with the two of us, we should be okay."
