[Outskirts of Union]

[If you're anywhere near Kaido's training spot today, you might notice something is... off. He seems more aggressive than usual, working himself out a lot rather than paying the usual attention to his pokemon, and at the same time... he's not quite as fast and efficient as he normally is, and might even be trembling slightly.

His pokemon have noticed something is off, Scraggy half-hiding in his own pants while Floette flies around, trying to keep an eye on him and his surroundings both.

Suddenly, after delivering a vicious kick that sends his dummy's head flying, he keels over, his skin starting to glow in patterns, shining brighter until it flashes, leaving him panting, still one knee to the ground, and...

... apparently unchanged, at least as far as physical features are concerned]

Damnit... no one told me it would hurt.

[His voice, however, sounds... uncharacteristically hoarse]

[Residential district]

Or you might encouter him later in the day, pacing the area and looking rather cranky. He doesn't want to go home just yet, for a bunch of reasons, but he's got nothing to do, and he's too restless to just go to Teeters or something.

So he's walking around with Floette, a scarf wrapped around his neck. The way he walks is slightly different from usual. A bit unstable, but also more fluid]

Log Deputy: Wighty (

holsety)
Participating Characters: Atsuro, Kaido, Hiroshi
Plot Description: The Tropical Island seems to have strange heat-waves rolling in. From the distance, while surrounded by craggy peaks that deny access to most parts of the island it does appear to have some high mountainous area. Atsuro goes there partly out of curiosity, partly in search of materials for Good Rods, drags Hiroshi along with him because they're friends (kind of) and friends go out and do things together! Kaido is partly dragged along, partly decides to go himself out of concern for Atsuro and Hiroshi (that part is a secret).
Warnings/Notes: Nothing yet.

( Under the cut! )

Log Deputy: Tonake
Participating Characters: Kaido
Plot Description: With proof of people outside Union, and trainers roaming further and further away from the city, Kaido wants to investigate the ruins in the swamp before too many people explore them. His goal is to investigate the disappearance of two researchers a couple of years ago (Atsuro's parents), determine whether they actually made it to the ruins, and whether there's a chance of them still being alive.
Warnings/Notes: Nothing aside from mentions of potential deaths.

( We have to go deeper )

[Action; streets of Union]

[Anyone out and about in the streets of Union today will likely catch sight of a rather energetic young trainer and her Pokemon jogging all throughout the city. It's a daily ritual for Chie and her Tyrogue, both of them needing a healthy amount of physical activity to keep their muscles firm and toned. The two of them push as hard as they can, each one momentarily overcoming the other as they race. For anyone who bothers to watch this in action, there's also a Phanpy doing its best to keep up, as well as a fat Lillipup strolling along casually at a much greater distance, periodically yawning and getting lapped by its trainer and companions.

Eventually, all of them slow to a stop, resting on a bench somewhere in the Entertainment District. The Phanpy flops over exhausted, the Tyrogue sits down and immediately begins doing cool down stretches and massaging its legs, and the Lillipup curls up at Chie's feet to take a nap. Chie herself just drapes her arms across the back of the bench, leaning her head back as she catches her breath.]

Whew... good job, everybody!

[Video]

[Later on, Chie decides to introduce herself over the Warp Band. She is pretty new to this trainer stuff, after all. So everyone is treated to the sight of a big smile and a V for victory as her Pokemon look on from the background.]

Hi, everyone! My name's Chie Satonaka.

[She gestures to the Tyrogue, the Lillipup, and the Phanpy in turn.]

And these are my Pokemon! Lee, Biao, and Panna. I've been buddies with Lee and Biao for a while now, but Panna's new to the team.

[This announcement is met with a happy trumpeting noise from the Phanpy's trunk.]

So anyway, I'm kinda just starting out with this whole Pokemon training thing, so if anybody's got any tips or secret training techniques or anything, just let me know! Chie, out!

It's Friday night and Ezreal decided to take the esteemed Luxanna Crownguard to a bar generally frequented by Delvers, Guardsmen, Rangers, and all sorts of other rough-and-tumble men and women who make up Union's thriving blue-collar community. The bar, of course, is quite a dive, with loud, boisterous people having just finished a day's work coming to take a load off and get frightfully hammered.

[This is an open mingle post for anybody who might, for whatever reason, find themselves in a dirty, grimy bar full of loud sweaty people on a Friday night. There will be mingling and, of course, the inevitable bar fight. Enlightened are encouraged to use their powers interestingly but remember - no lethal damage! It's all in good fun. Overenthusiastic enlightened may find themselves responsible for large chunks of the repair bill for the bar, be warned.

Also of note: legal drinking age is 18 years old but this bar is likely reasonably easy to get into if you're a bit underage.]

Huh. Here goes. Hey, everyone.

[It's hardly like Kanji's never seen a warp band in his life, but he's not the sort to go shouting out to everyone on the thing. But here he is, now, with a faint bleating at his side suggesting that his Mareep wants to take a closer look itself. He laughs slightly.]

- hey, fuzz, gimme a second here? I'll sort your stuff out in a bit.

...ree?

Really.

[Scratching it between the ears, he goes on-] So. Gotta question for the more experienced Trainers out there. Say someone was goin' for a trip out into the forest... you know, getting serious about this stuff... anyone got any suggestions about good places to start out? Good spots for a beginner to really get down to business? Where I ain't - uh, he ain't [fooling no-one there, pal] gonna run into too much trouble? Or where there's something cool to see.

Lemme know, okay?

[As he's recording this message, he's sitting on a bench near his home, sorting through a heavy backpack - okay, is he sure he's got everything? He's packed, repacked, got food, water, camping supplies, weaponry (or what anyone else would call it, anyway)... but something's still nagging at him. He's got to have missed something...]

kaidont

[You know who's, for once, not found outside Union? This guy.

Partly because of the people camping outside. The city officials might be all chummy with them, but he almost got trampled by a rampaging Nidoking because of them, and he doesn't feel like talking to them nicely. Or handing them any piece of technology, for that matter.

He knows himself well enough to know he'll just start fights if he tries interacting with them, so he's keeping himself inside the walls for now. It's probably best after this mindless training anyway.

The other reason is currently resting against his legs. His egg finally hatched, revealing a Trapinch... which is cool and all, except it keeps kind of falling forward with the weight of its own head if it's standing on the ground... and he can't keep it burried all the time. Especially when you live in a tower.

So his baby Trapinch is slowly following after him, bumping its head against his legs whenever they stop. He would have lost his patience long ago, had his newly evolved Floette not been calming him down.

Be careful not to fall into any holes. Thankfully, they shouldn't be too deep]

all_onis_are_true

[There seems to be a bit of a scene in front of the Pokemon Habitat today. Some other teens seem to be accosting another one, who is standing with a stony expression on his face. If you move closer to the group, you might overhear the conversation; they're not exactly quiet about it.

"Hey, we should contact the authorities. Some idiot let the Murder Nerd have Pokemon, ha ha."

"Hey little Axew, how about you come be my Pokemon instead? You'll live longer. Ha ha ha ha.

Man, where'd you get this Smeargle? It's WAY too cool looking for you -- hey, the little bastard just ruined my shirt! Lousy --"

You might know the one standing by saying nothing, although he does seem to stand up for his own Pokemon here and there. When people say terrible things to HIM, however, he shuts up for some reason. Is this something you even want to get in the middle of?]

kaidont

[If you are currently near the outskirts of Union, you might hear a bit of a racket.

Or you might outright just find Kaido, Flabébé and Sraggy.

They've set up a set of twin practice dummies (a big one for Kaido, a smaller one for Scraggy) and are practicing kicks and punches with synchromised timing, with Flabébé alternating between checking on the egg they have nearby and pushing a large ball around with Fairy Wind.

They've been at this for a week. Someone stop them.

Or alternatively, complain about the noise]

merameranomi

[Things had been a bit boring for Ace lately, after the earthquake things had been crazy but now that it had calmed down he really had nothing to do. Except walk around the city with his faithful companion, Candle, floating by his side.

He was hoping to find something good to eat, and maybe finding someone who was as bored as he was. He passed a few stands, a lot of the fruits seemed delicious, but he really wasn't sure what he wanted to eat.]

Hey Candle, what you think I should get??

[He turned to look at his pokemon but he wasn't there, instead he was a few metres away, floating in circles around someone. Ace walked over to the person and tried to take his Litwick off the floor, but the candle just floated away from him]

I'm very sorry, he has a thing for bothering people, and umm if you wouldn't mind, can you help me catch him?

Iron Mines:
The trip to the eastern mountains is punctuated by the continuing aftershocks. After each one, it may be tempting to glance back at Union to see if any of the towers have fallen yet. The expedition parties move with incredible speed, knowing that the fate of their City hangs on the line.

When they reach the mountains, guided by the coordinates given of the 'strange radio signal', the parties will find that many of the normal entrances and routes have been blocked by cave-ins. In contrast, however, a gaping hole has opened up where none existed before. As this seems to be the easiest way to gain access, the parties slowly lower themselves in...

They will find themselves in the long-sought iron mines.

But there are so many twisting turns and tunnels, it will be impossible to stay together and make any sort of progress. Each group will have to take their own paths from here...

Old City:
Each of the twelve entrances down into the Old City take a different meandering route through the ruins. Though several are blocked off by this time, there are still many potential paths to take. The state of the Old City is poor, being underground as it is, and occasional soft rumblings are certain to cause unease. As the report states, however, there is enough of an interval between quakes that it should be possible to investigate safely.

It would be unwise to venture down alone, but it is impossible, too, for everyone to stay together if they wish to make headway.

Union:
The wild Pokémon continue to come out of the Old City, though the frequency has been somewhat lessened. Rubble lines the streets and though no towers have collapsed as of yet, some seem to be dangerously close and certainly nobody should be staying inside of them. As stated, the towers in Sector 3 are the worse off and construction crews work frantically to attempt to restabilize the foundations of these buildings.

The injured are innumerable, the number of casualties is as of yet unknown, and the chaos and panic is difficult to fend off.

There is a great deal of work to be done.

((Please post below with your groups - in the first comment, please note the members of your group, where you are, and whether or not you intend to keep a threading order. Regardless of threading order, mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the event moving. Groups should be three to four people in size.

At this time, all characters entering the iron mines will be able to choose to bond with a free extra Pokemon listed under 'Cavern' in the Map and Wild Pokemon post. Please respond there if you intend to make use of this. Characters who have already claimed a free Old City Pokemon may not do so.))
