Ride Pokemon

(previous post)

In front of you stood four pokemon unlike any you have seen before. Justin tells you that these are Earnhast, a pokemon not seen outside of Jorvik. These gentle giants are used for quickly traversing the land, as well as races and other activities. He also makes it very clear that Earnhast are never used in battle before finally allowing you to chose one.

Which one will you pick?

Starter Pokemon

(previous post)

Once you have finished settling in, Mrs. Holdsworth tells you to find a man named Justin at Moorland Stables, who will help you on your journey.

He was easy to find, waiting for you in a courtyard. Justin introduces himself and explains that his job is to pair new trainers with their starter pokemon, which he received from Starshine Ranch.

He pulls out three pokeballs and releases the creatures inside.

Which one will you pick?

Catching your First Pokemon

(previous post)

On the way to Silverglade, you decide to put the pokeballs Justin gave you to use. There are plently of Pokemon for you to document, which you do with excitement. Unfortunately, some were not as excited about you: the Spiritomb you saw in Doyle's Abbey immediately tried to attack you.

After that encounter, you decided you should catch a friendlier Pokemon.

You decide to catch...

Which Pokemon will you catch?

Scatterbug

Wooloo

Rookidee

Litwick

Introduction

Welcome, trainer, to the region of Jorvik! Jorvik is a quaint, small region with a gorgeous landscape and rich history. It is also home to mysterious creatures known as Pokemon! Pokemon can be found all over: in the seas, in the skies, and even in towns. Humans work with Pokemon to live and thrive, especially on Jorvik.

After graduating from Naranja Academy in the Paldea region, you have decided to move to Jorvik in hopes of becoming its new Pokemon professor, due to the retirement of the previous one. Luckily, the former professor, Mrs. Holdsworth, was kind enough to let you stay with her as she takes you under her wing. You hope to compile an official Pokedex for Jorvik and to document the rare phenomenon that takes place there.

Unfortunately, your journey will not be as straight forward as you hope; Jorvik is hiding much more than you thought. Good luck, trainer.

You'll need it.

Ssomon Sneak Peak!!

The map is old, you don't have to look twice in order to tell. Strangely, it doesn't have any of Jorvik's towns on it. If you look closely, you can almost make out a message...

The Next Day (Catching your Second Pokemon)

(previous post)

You wake up the next day feeling refreshed, excited to help Alex search for her missing friend. You call her phone a couple times as you get ready. She picks up on the third try, her voice groggy as she tells you to meet her at the Equestrian Center around noon.

After sharing breakfast with your team, you decide to leave Moorland early so you can explore the island more. Gearing up Earnhast, you follow the same path you took yesterday, stopping at Doyle's Abbey; the pumpkins scattered around Moorland made you feel festive, and you wanted to catch a pokemon befitting Halloween. Once you confirm the Spiritomb is gone, you carefully wander in, curious as to what you might find.

Which pokemon will you catch?

Pumpkaboo

Ghastly

Spinarak

Greavard

Litwick

Battle with Sabine

(previous post)

You aren't entirely sure what this woman is talking about with the rumors, but you decide to battle her anyways.

To say it ended badly is a horrible understatement. Even with the type advantage Piplup had over her Ninetales, you never stood a real chance. Ninetales itself even looked bored, yawning while it easily beat your two pokemon.

The woman grimaced at your poor performance. "Honestly, I should have expected to be disappointed. No one on this island knows how to battle properly."

Her Ninetales barked in agreement, adding to your embarassment.

Shaking her head, she returns it to its pokeball. "I've grown bored. You, newcomer, are going to entertain me."

You stare at her dumbfounded while she walks back into the stable, mounting her Rapidash.

"There are eight gyms here in Jorvik. Beat them." She takes off, her Rapidash leaving scorching hoof prints.

At that moment, your phone buzzes: Alex finally sent you the pictures, along with an apology about leaving so suddenly. One of the women, Sabine, looked awfully familiar. Almost like you just saw her ride off a moment ago.
