Rainshadow City - "The Emerald of the North" The largest city in northern Kadia. Its downtown is dotted with skyscrapers, yet the city still seems very integrated with nature. Trees line the streets, the greenery giving the city it's motto, and the winding water can be seen from all parts of the down. The looming Kadian mountain range to the east is gorgeous in the distance...if you can see it. The city is frequently lost in clouds and drizzle, and it's people can be a bit introverted and introspective. Though the city is home to a number of creative types, being a tech center for nerds and tinkerers as well as a mecca for bohemians and hippies. Thankfully today, it doesn't seem to be raining! A tiny bit of blue sky pokes through the clouds. Notable People Key Locations PokeMart

Semira wakes up refreshed and excited for all the day's possibilities. For the moment, she's forgotten about the unpleasantness with Kylar from last night and is still reliving Ziggy's gym battle and all the great shots she got of it. She heads down to the Pokemon Center to see if anything exciting is going on before heading back to the Gym to talk about the hauntings. |

Waking up after a fitful night of sleep aided by Cordelia's ministrations, Tristan rubs his eyes and head. He's feeling the aftermath of those whiskeys. First, he opens up his 'dex and looks for any messages he might have missed from the night before, then thumbs through the Local Board to see if there's anything new on them. Finally, he double-checks the time of the contest he's registered for. #Don't have to have anything new, just checkin'. Would like the contest time though. After that's all said and done, he gets up and showers, putting on his gardening overalls. He had a crop to tend, which was something to look forward to. After he sets up a few transfers in the PC system, he releases Lolo and Ruby from their Pokeballs. The two of them and Cordelia accompany him downstairs, where he takes a look around before heading out. Edited by joviality, Nov 19 2014, 01:43 PM.

After quite an interesting evening, Lorne wakes up the next morning with an extremely unpleasant hangover. He would love to just sleep it off, but he knows he needs to get up and get things done, so he drags himself out of bed and sluggishly starts to get ready for the day. As the events from the previous evening start coming back to him, he feels grateful that Tristan stormed out angrily. Taking things further with the guy seemed like a fun idea in his drunken mind, but now that he's sober, he realizes he's been spared of a potentially awkward morning. Speaking of awkward, there was also Hugo's little situation. A normal person would probably feel guilty over leaving a friend like that, but no, to Lorne, it's actually still kind of funny. He's not the type to apologize, so maybe he should avoid Hugo for a little while. Focus I think? To see how well he powers through that hangover: [result]11&6:3,2d6,2,11&2d6+2[/result] |

Lorne: Lorne feels surprisingly well despite how much he drank last night. The schadenfreude of what happened to Hugo was powering him through the headache. As he gets ready around his apartment, he sees a text from his boss Humbolt. <We need to talk. Don't turn on the news.> #Should Lorne turn on the news, he'll see what's described below Anyone Waking Up at the PokeCenter: Tristan notes that the Beauty Contest is at 6pm - plenty of time to do other errands first! As Semira and Tristan enter the lobby of the Pokemon Center, they see a group of trainers watching a news report on the huge flat screen TV. There's an impeccably put together older woman on the screen, with the caption "Loretta Steel, CEO of NanoKlink North." A reporter is holding up a microphone. "...you say about NanoKlink's suspected involvement with the recent poaching incidents in Prospect Pass?" "I can assure you NanoKlink knew nothing about these poachers. As the leaders in Pokemon technological advancements, it is inevitable that some less scrupulous individuals will use these tools for unsavory reasons. That does not reflect upon the ethics of the equipment or its producers." Loretta conveys power, confidence, and charisma as she speaks. "But according to this Ranger report, the drilling machine was designed to run on the energy of Electric type Pokemon. Was that not the motivation for the poachers to steal Electric types in the pass?" Loretta gave a dismissive shake of the head. "Our machines are only intended to be used with willing Pokemon volunteers, and with correct usage are guaranteed to not harm any Pokemon. This is standard practice across Kadia, such as the Mareep that power the East Kadia Power Plant. Without this technology, our cities would be in darkness." "But how did the poachers get their hands on this sort of powerful technology?" "We have rigorous screening procedures for all of our sales. It seems these poachers were able to manipulate one of our employees into cutting corners. I assure you that Mr. Pruitt has been terminated, as NanoKlink holds itself to the highest standards." "Are you taking any additional steps to address this problem?" "Yes, we're doing all we can. I'm happy to announce that we are releasing two new products today to help curtail poaching - a security belt with password locks and tracking chips for your Pokeballs. We've been developing these products ever since Team Eco increased its terrorist activity toward NanoKlink. Now is clearly the time to make them available to everyone for the safety of their Pokemon." "Are you suggesting Team Eco is involved in these poachings?" "I'll leave that up to our incredibly competent Rangers to decide," she said with a charming smile. "Though like everyone else, I have to suspect Team Eco. With their recent terrorist attack on our fundraiser in Yakka Yakka, I assume this is just a thinly veiled attempt to frame NanoKlink." "Well Ms. Steel, thank you for your time. Up next is All My Pokemon, stay tuned..." Edited by Jennifurret, Nov 19 2014, 01:59 PM.

Electric types.... Semira had considered taking her Pikachu for a walk, but not after seeing that. The political structure between the two factions doesn't concern Semira in the slightest, but she does worry if one of her partners would get stolen right from under her nose. She heads back to the Gym to talk to River, but is a bit more paranoid of strangers on her way there. |

Tristan rolls his eyes exaggeratedly as he watches the news report. "Yeah, good story," he says under his breath. "Mr. Pruitt", eh? Tristan says to himself, not realizing that they're talking about Lorne. "I'd hate to be the sad sack they pinned it on." #Leaving opportunity for Semira if you want, else Tristan's gonna go garden. |

Of course, Lorne HAS to turn on the news. The message left him too curious, and he wants to have some inkling of what's going on. Throughout the interview, he's hardly fazed. Ms. Steel is handing these ridiculous questions so well. It's nonsense to think anyone would believe NanoKlink has anything to do with poaching. But then he hears his name. No, that can't be him, can it? Pruitt isn't that uncommon of a name. Lorne knows he hasn't done anything against the company, so he shouldn't have anything to worry about. Loretta said the employee had already been terminated, and Lorne still has his job. But then he remembers that message... "We need to talk." Lorne can't help but start to expect the worse. Despite his best efforts to think about this logically, his bad temper is starting to get the best of him. Furious, he leaves his apartment to go to headquarters. He has half a mind to go straight to the CEO about this, but there's still a part of him that wants to believe this has to be a different "Mr. Pruitt" they're talking about. |

#Semira is too worried about having her pokemon swiped to make friends right now. In fact if you did make an introduction she'd probably be very suspicious of you |

#Cool cool. Turning away from the television, Tristan heads out the door and makes his way back toward the Greenhouses to tend his plants for the day. |
