The rocking ship was tough on anyone not with a stomach of steel, and even as it finally docked and released its passengers, the flow of the waves may seem to follow. The dock itself, the old, rotting wood, feeling as if it is swaying against the rough waves... which is odd, given the captain mentioned how this is the best weather she has seen in ages. The skies are filled with angry clouds and the ocean is still barraging the ship with vicious waves, but there is only a very slight mist of rain. The air is a cold, but not too uncomfortable. Yet the weather is not the main mystery here... after all, this island was always a big secret. And even more so since the explosion... it makes one wonder why the company decided to let people come and capture the island's pokemon with luxury balls (which are not cheap). Either way... the adventure begins! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Salve Island | Night | Clear | Maja Convallaria PARTY:
Maja nearly collapses onto the black sand of Salve Island, digging her hands into the ground to find some purchase on stable ground while the morelull gently floated down onto its trainer's curls. A soft blinking came from its tiny mushroom caps, and a wave of calm washed over Maja amidst the raging tides snapping at the shore. A yawn came out but before Maja could drift to sleep she found a cold whip snap her awake and onto her feet.
"Salve Co., what happened here? Nothing but destruction as far as I can possibly see..."
Shapes moving in the distance stirred wild imaginations in Maja's mind. Someone lurking, watching? No no, just a wild pokémon. Maja dashed the irrational and illogical from her thoughts and dug her heels into the black sand beneath her, reminding herself of the things that do tangibly exist right now. She was presented an opportunity and she would see it through this time. The morelull again anchored itself onto Maja's thick mat of curls and gently waved in the breeze as Maja explored the beach. Though, as time went on and the angry storm churned for what felt like endlessly, Maja's thoughts drifted back to the possibility of her tea shop project. Perhaps she doesn't have to follow the path of medicine and can do what she had begun to enjoy? Her dreams of a comfortable tea shop nestled within Sylvanport clouded her senses and eventually led her to trip on a stone wedged in the sand. A mouthful of sand and her morelull, Hypnos, sighing in exhaustion at the constant worries racing through its trainers mind.

Night || Clear People coming to the island was always... an odd thing. The gastly had only seen a handful of people here, yet for the past few weeks, there have been more and more coming on those boats. It was very strange. Maybe that was why this gastly had wandered out of the woods and onto the beach, watching from his hiding spot as the humans began to travel across the beaches and part into the woods... and this one human and her mushroom companion just... well... Grace wasn't the word the gastly would really use in this situation. In the human's defense, it was dark out. The island wasn't exactly lit. Well... it used to be, but it isn't now... it hasn't been since the explosion at the lab deeper in the forest. Gaaastly.The pokemon revealed himself, frowning at the human and her pokemon companion. Perhaps they just needed some help? Not like he had any hands to assist her with but... he knew the island! He knew the dangers. The whole place was dangerous but... well... he learned humans could be rather tenacious. Gastly.He floated a little closer, trying to remain at a peaceful distance. He didn't want any trouble... A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Salve Island | Night | Clear | Maja Convallaria PARTY:
Maja pulled her face up and spat out the grains of sand from her mouth. The gastly hovered around Maja for a moment, just to make sure she was alright. She clearly hasn't been on this type of terrain, let alone out in the dark but the weak glow from the morelull gave some hope that she would be alright.
Hypnos turned around to the gastly and wiggled one of its roots in greeting, soon to be swayed around as Maja rose up and surveyed her surroundings. She wiped her glasses with the messy, half-tucked button up and then turned to the concerned pokémon with a glimmer in her eyes. "Oh! Simply marvelous...a living pokémon comprised of toxic gas! I read about you in my family's books!! Potent antidotes were crafted long ago from the various toxins and has saved many lives!"
Maja dusted the sand from her coat and in this moment, her sharp gaze fell away revealing a warmth underneath she typically keeps hidden away. She fumbled in her pockets and produced a small field journal of sorts, sketching the gastly's wispy form amidst the black sand and the backdrop of the destruction left in the explosion's wake. She was patient, and calm in this moment. When she had finished she found the luxury balls that were given to her before setting sail to the island, jingling in her pocket like loose change. Maja nearly dropped the luxury ball as it suddenly expanded in her hand at the light click of the button. It rolled along the sand and Maja could only laugh in response.
"How clumsy of me, but regardless. I thank you for checking on me. If you would like, I could take you with me? Experience something new aside from the doom and gloom that hangs in the air of this place. Though I will not force you, that is your own decision to live how you wish." A slight twang of pain plucked at Maja's heartstrings with that statement, but she smiled through the pain.

Night || Clear His toxins... saved people? Was that true? It must be if a human was saying it with such an expression on their face. Not that the gastly had many experiences with human beings, but... that was an interesting thought. Usually pokemon themselves would cough when exposed to his gas, but if it could be used to help people... well, maybe that was okay then. He watched the human curiously as she sketched him in the journal. Well, that was rather strange! he startled a bit as the luxury ball came out, but soon relaxed. A change to get off this island and maybe help people... yes... he would very much like that. He hesitated a moment before tapping the ball with the more solid part of him... as solid as gas could be. He vanished inside and it didn't even have to roll, simply giving a click. He was satisfied with this. Once gathering the luxury ball and moving deeper into the island, the trees grow thicker and thicker together. Nature really did claim this island very quickly. And there were things that went bump in the night in these woods. A pokemon soon wandered into site, if only out of curiosity, where it watched the human. And the odd pokemon on her head. Well... The trubbish jumped more in front of them in a challenge, with a battle cry! It didn't move first, oddly enough, but it was enough to show that this living bag of garbage meant business! Would the trainer and her morelull answer? Or would they try to talk their way out of this rather polite challenge to test one's skills? A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Salve Island | Night | Clear | Maja Convallaria
PARTY:
Maja stumbled backwards at the trubbish jumping forward to challenge her, and as she waved her hands along the ground searching for her glasses she came face to face with the pokémon before her. Her heart swelled in wonderment and Maja hopped onto her feet!
"Remarkable! A pokémon entirely comprised of debris! I take it you wish to challenge me then, judging by your eagerness."
Hypnos gracefully floated onto the ground and took root in the ruined earth. Swaying its gently glowing caps in the breeze as his trainer immediately had begun sketching.
"I accept! Hypnos, Astonish if you would?"
Without warnng, the morelull shrieked out and swung himself with startling momentum at the trubbish! Returning by Maja's side, floating gently back down.

Night || Clear The challenge was accepted! Yet the trubbish didn't expect the little mushroom to move so fast! The Astonish hit hard and fast, and in a puff of smoke, the illusion was dropped. Standing in the place of the trubbish was a small little black and red fox. The zorua chuckled as it flashes a sharp-toothed grin. Now this was getting fun! It always loved a proper challenge and this sure was one! Humans could be such fun, too! They and their pokemon knew how to have a good time! The fox charged forward and jumped in the air, its eyes overcome with a glare that seemed to flash a bright light as it used Leer! Lower defenses meant moves would hit twice as hard! The zorua landed on its soft paws on the forest floor. Zo zo zo zo, it chuckled, holding a paw up to its mouth. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!
You are in sub-area 2: Fractured Woods.

Salve Island | Night | Clear | Maja Convallaria
PARTY:
Maja's eyes widened at the trick and a smile followed suit! Her scrawling turned into artistic flow as she sketched the little trickster in front of her over the pencil phantom of the Trubbish she had erased.
"Marvelous! An illusory pokémon!! Here on Salve Island of all places, even goated me into using a noneffective attack. Well done little one!"
Her slouch snapped up straight and the glimmer of determination returned to her eyes, Hypnos could tell and was content with seeing this side of his trainer bloom again after a long chain of lethargy. He sank his roots into the ground once more but this time held firm against his adversary. He rattled the caps on his head and with the fall of sparkling spores illuminated the otherwise dreary forest even if by only a tiny amount.
"Absorb! We will not back down now will we Hypnos?"

Night || Clear The glow of the grass-type move was a distraction in the darkness as the Zorua could feel some of his own energy being drawn from his very being. Now THIS was a challenge! He let out another chuckle as she got some distance and charged forward, claws bared. He lunged and went for a solid Scratch on the Morelull, surprised at the sudden burst of spores from the pokemon's being. This was not part of the plan! Was.. it...? The Zorua took a step back and sneezed, trying to gain his footing, but his eyes were growing so heavy... it wasn't long before he fell over, fast asleep from the spore's effects on his small, little form. Well, every time is nap time if you get sleepy enough... or drugged by some spores! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

SALVE ISLAND | NIGHT | CLEAR | MAJA CONVALLARIA PARTY:
Maja gripped a luxury ball in her pockets and, while the zorua was asleep, took the chance to throw it with a curve towards the pokémon! Hypnos swung out of the way from the pokéball zooming at a surprising velocity and for the first time since being re-awoken after the Rapture shivered at his trainer's sudden shift in personality. The lethargy he knew very well and it wasn't even his spores that caused it. Now, though, Maja had an energy to her that energized Hypnos and made a warmth swell up inside him. Happy that he could help break the dregs of despair that hung over her and the dreary old apothecary back home.

Night || Clear The luxury ball struck solid on the Zorua's side and it zapped the sleeping fox inside. The luxury ball gave one lazy roll before it clicked. Capture successful! The zorua would probably be asleep for a while, especially inside the comfort of the luxury ball. The forest once more took on a eerie silence that was fitting for the location and the darkness. The zorua's playfulness sure doesn't seem to match the area... Or that white light deep in the woods that someone could catch out of the corner of their eye. Something tall and... bug-like? A strange scent wafted on the breeze but the moment anything looked at the source of the glow it would be gone, leaving nothing but falling leaves in its wake... Something was watching the pair. Something unseen in the dark, broken woods. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

SALVE ISLAND | NIGHT | CLEAR | MAJA CONVALLARIA PARTY:
Maja, finally satisfied, took the ball into her hand and as the adrenaline wound down she felt a bit of guilt for not asking the little zorua if he wanted to come with her. Her lethargy soon returned as much as she didn't want it to. It gripped her anyways in its cold, dark embrace and like the oppressive atmosphere of the island itself swirled in the background.
Regardless, she looked forward and continued through the dead forest into the corpse of the rumored facility on the island. Here, was her true goal. To sate the bottomless craving for knowledge to possibly fill the void. Surely, Maja thought, if she could gain some satisfaction from feeding her mind then the trip was well worth it. Already her interest was piqued by the pokémon she encountered so far. Though she had yet to feel satisfied.
OOC: Maja will move on to the next area!

Night || Clear This was once a large, proud laboratory. It was made only for research and for the comfort of those that called this place home. But now the entire structure had been utterly destroyed by what looked like a horrible explosion followed by a raging fire. The official cause according to Deprin's police was the explosion of an old generator or something similar. That explosion must have been powerful, as the only parts of the structure that still stood were the strongest support pillars. They still held up some parts of the walls and ceiling, but... still. Water was dripping from somewhere and, as one went in deeper, they could see old glass tubes that could fit a whole person in one part of the lab. Cages and tables in another... offices... but there were no papers. No folders or files. Just piles of ashes, broken glass, metal, and dust. That and strange dark splatters on the floor in some places that looked as if the fire had burned something away, but the faint image stayed... There were even old computers that were completely off... well... They were off. Until one flickered on with the words 'Hello, World' on it. The screen soon went black again as an electrical force jolted out of it and spun along the ground, floating a few inches above it before zipping higher and darting around the human and her pokemon companion. A strange blue and pink creature that twitched in an odd manner before it jumped back into the computer, causing it to come to life before it zipped out again, leaving the machine cold and lifeless. Poooo-ooOO-ooor the creature let out as it tilted backwards to look at the human, doing a flip in the process. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

SALVE ISLAND | NIGHT | CLEAR | MAJA CONVALLARIA PARTY:
Maja stumbled backwards from the pokémon and looked in absolute wonder. Her eyes seemed to shimmer in the darkness of the destroyed facility and her heart began to race for the first time in a while. Hypnos could sense it too, as he detatched himself from Maja's hair and tried its best to urge his trainer to focus!
She finally looked down at the morelull weakly trying to tug her finger and, while keeping a visual on the violent twitching this pokémon would occasionally enter a spasm of, tended to the scratches of battle from the encounter prior with the zorua.
"There, there. I got you...we can't let this opportunity escape now can we? Nor would it do us any good to be bested by it here of all places!"
OOC: Maja uses an out of battle heal on morelull, then engages the porygon

Night || Clear The pokemon lurched forward quickly, twitching madly as it inspected the human and her pokemon. Then it gives a violent shake as spores begin falling from it, much like Morelull. The porygon darts back and forth again. PPPPPoooOOOOoo-rrrrrrrrrrrrr-eeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEE-e-e-e, it shrilly cries, darting back into a computer system before bouncing out at a broken wire in the ceiling, upside down. G-g-g-g-g-g-goooooooooooonnn-n-n-n-n-n-n, it finishes it's thought. Yes, for what is life but a collection of circuits and wires? Electrical and chemical impulses that power the thing humans call their brain? What is the purpose of this machine made of bio-matter that allows biological beings unlike the porygon to wander? To live? To feel? What is the purpose of life other than to just be alive? To explore a world that frees the senses and can fill the mind with such beauty and wonder like a night sky filled with starts, all within a swirling cosmos that is mostly void, partially stars? These thoughts were instead expressed with such violent shaking and twitching that the porygon phased through a wall before returning and flipping upside down again. POOORYGOOOOOOOON!A Wild Pokemon Appeared!
