Pokane - "Near Nature, Near Perfect"

Pokane is a small town in Kadia’s Northeastern breadbasket, fairly isolated from the rest of Kadia by the looming Kadian Mountain Range. While mostly a residential town, it is home to a few notable places. A PokeCenter and a PokeMart stand on the east side of the town square, greeting anyone who arrives via the Pokane Train Station on the western side. The north side of the square has the region’s Pokemon Laboratory that is run by Professor Fir, leading researcher in Pokemon Energy. The southern side of the square hosts a small Pokemon Gym with a large attached barn in back. A number of farms and berry fields that dot the surrounding rolling hills with bright color and fill the air with the sweet smell of flowers.

Notable People

PokeMart

Jonathan & Tristan:
You finally get off what seemed like the longest train ride of your life, happy to be able to stretch your legs. The Pokane station is much tinier than you imagined. You shuffle out the exit and see a quaint town in front of you, and a large sign with a map of Pokane. The “You Are Here” dot almost seems unnecessary given the tiny size of the town. There are a number of flyers tacked around the sign.

Kylar:
You just finished a large breakfast your mom cooked special for you. Today’s the big day – you’re receiving Professor Fir’s state of the art Pokedex, and beginning your new job as a PokeRanger. You finally have your ticket out of this podunk town.

Ziggy:
You normally wouldn’t wake up this early, but you’re jolted awake by some endless, deafening wailing coming from outside your window.

Pancakes and bacon. Never failed. Whenever Kylar's mom was worried, she put on some big production like it would be his last meal. Kylar didn't mind. He hadn't been accustomed to breakfast being made for him. His mom worked two jobs to provide Kylar with what he needed, but Kylar had his own ways of making money. Hopefully this new endeavor would prove fruitful. Finishing up his meal, Kylar belched before looking to his mom, "Breakfast was wonderful as usual," Kylar got up and kissed his mom's cheek, "you know I won't be gone that long, right?" He knew it was a lie, but he couldn't let her know that.

Groaning and moaning, Ziggy literally rolls out of bed tossing the covers on the floor with him as he tumbles down. He crawls through the clutter around his room instinctively fishing for his guitar. Guitar in hand he stumbles to the window to see what the heck is going on.

Kylar:
Your mom gives you a tight hug. "I know," she says, but her face says it all: she knows you'll probably be off adventuring for a long time. "Now hurry up, you don't want to miss your meeting with Professor Fir."

Ziggy:
As you groggily peer our your window, you see what looks like a small, round, pink bunny with beige tipped ears and toes. It stops its wailing for a moment when it sees you, but then it continues to make a deafening scream.

It took Tristan some time to get all of his luggage together, primarily because of how much he had. Clothes? Check -- two bags. Shoes? Check. Portable Grower? Check. The Chesto berry plant was growing nicely; he'd planted it back in Castelia City to symbolize his new start. With any luck, its fruit would mature soon. That'd mean he hadn't completely lost his touch, at least. Camping gear? Check. He wasn't looking forward to it, but he knew he'd likely have to -- shudder -- go into the woods on this trip. Any Grass-types or flora worth finding would likely be off the beaten path. And that's what he'd come here for. Well, that and to compete in the local Contest circuit. But as for the woods, he'd be sleeping comfortably there in his new tent, at least. Hopefully it'd be more comfortable than the train ride had been the past few days. It had mostly been a boring and uncomfortable trip, with little to see. The one exception had been Glalie National Park; a beautiful, ice-strewn stretch of pure beauty. He could see mountains off in the distance from here in Pokane, but things still looked pretty boring in this small town.

Everything in its proper place, Tristan got off the train and looked around the station. He could see other passengers were getting off here too. Maybe someone else was here for the alpha testing? He hasn't talked to many other passengers on the way here, preferring to be alone with his thoughts, his freshly planted berry bush, and his best friend Budew. Speaking of which, the little sproutling seemed to be waking up. Tucked in his messenger bag, Cordelia yawned widely and looked around the station in the sunlight. "Bud! Budew!" she exclaimed, clearly excited to be off the train. Seeing her perk up right away in the natural light, Tristan smiled wide.

Turning his attention to the nearby map for a moment, Tristan was struck immediately by its size -- and was then immediately disappointed. "Echhh... I hope this trip is worth it," he said to no one in particular. "I wonder what's going on in a town like this other than Fir's 'dex launch?" he asked himself as he perused the flyers fluttering alongside the map.

Ziggy's eyes widen a little. "What the hell is that thing?!" he thinks... "I don't know, but it sure has some voice! Maybe some gentle chords will cheer it up." I casually and confidently stroll out, guitar in hand. As I meander toward it I play some soothing sounds on my guitar. I ask it kindly "what's wrong, buddy?"

#I want to add to the previous post before the last sentence(item would add +1 to charm):

As he stumbles out, he blinks at the sun growing hotter by the minute and wishes for some water. "No big deal" he thinks as he tosses on his trusty shades.

#Anyone can now assume they see these posters around town

Poster 1:
"Visit Beautiful Yakka Yakka Farms! 100% Organic Certified non-GMO PokeProduce. Best wine in Kadia!" There's a small map showing the town is near Pokane.

Poster 2:
"MISSING: Help me find my beloved Pooky! A small beautiful Purrloin, last seen near the PokeCenter. Will give reward!!!!" There's an address for where to return Pooky near the PokeCenter.

Poster 3:
"HIRING: Research Scientist in Pokemon Energy. Must be able to work weekends and evenings. $30,000 contact Professor Fir, dfir@poke.edu"

Poster 4:
"POKEDEX 5.0 LAUNCH! First 10 trainers to visit Professor Fir's laboratory on Launch Day get a chance to alpha test the most cutting edge Pokedex in the world!" You notice the date is conveniently today!

Poster 5:
"Sunday Night at the PokeCenter! Local band Trax, headlined by Pokane's own Ziggy Trax! $10 pokeyen" Unfortunately it seems that you missed this show - it's an old poster.

"Yea, yea. Knuckles let's move" The Pawniard came rushing in and beside his master. Its skin a crimson red.

Kylar had never met the old coot. At least that is how he imagined him. Even a man of Kylar's skill couldn't get close enough. Not even for a peek. But suddenly he "invented" this new pojedex and wants people to see him. It seemed odd that he suddenly wanted to see people. But that didn't matter to Kylar. A new pokedex for free. It'd make tracking and catalouging so much more convenient. So he took the bait. Shit, Ziggy would probably be in that line somewhere. He could always keep Kylar entertained with that guitar. It wasnt great, but it had soul.

Kylar walked out the door, Knuckles at his side, hoping the surroundings hadn't suddenly chnaged overnight in this quiet town.
