It's been a while coming but one should have expected they'd be leaving their hometown at some point. Tear has been living with Ecruteak City for many years, and now, he was about to set out to start his own journey. Most aspiring trainers leave around the age of 12 or higher but... It felt weird to leave his family behind without at least assuring them he'd be okay on his own at his current age. When the goodbyes and wishes were made, Tear set out.
Upon making leave of Ecruteak, he made way to the south where route 37 should be located. He had heard that it's a good place to start once's journey and also a ways ahead going. If they're right, it should be a nice new experience to go through. "Route 37, huh?" Tear thought to himself quietly, already deciding where his next destination would be. He made his way there.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:08 PM
Tear left the city of Ecruteak towards route 37...
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:11 PM
Route 37:
Route 37 is a small route with trees everywhere with plains scattered throughout. There is a path more towards the western side of this route leading towards the north into thick grass, but even still grass is scattered throughout the entire area. There isn't any water areas in the location.
There was a mareep grazing on the grass near a worn down fencepost.
A deerling could be seen sleeping under the shade of a tree.
A sentret was playing tag with a nidoran M.
Exits:
South: Route 36
North: Ecruteak City

RaybladeYesterday at 5:16 PM
Upon leaving Ecruteak City, Tear found himself in Route 37, an area filled with vibrant green foliage all around the surrounding area. The many trees and plains were a sight to see as Tear walked through it, taking note of what's around him. He saw glimpses of few pokemon, many of which caught his eye. Now that he thought about it... Just how many pokemon could he encounter during his journey? He was lost in thought thinking about it. Oh well... Best not to lose focus, right? Ignoring the current pokemon there, Tear continued traveling ahead leading down to Route 36.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:18 PM
You left for route 36...
#route-36
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:21 PM
Route 36:
Route 36 is a large route that has large cliffs and forests in the area and connects to about four different places. This area has a lot of different types of grass and rock pokemon and thick patches of tall grass can be found throughout the northern areas in between the large groupings of trees. There isn't too many water spots in this area.
There was a turtwig trying to reach an apple from a slightly stubby tree.
A rockruff was laying on a rock sunbathing in the warmth.

RaybladeYesterday at 5:31 PM
When he reached Route 36, he swiftly saw the cliffs below. They didn't seem too high so they're not of any danger but he still wouldn't want to accidentally fall over the edges of them. Walking by carefully to avoid the cliffs he caught wind of more pokemon in the area. Truth be told, he wasn't quite sure as to what pokemon species they were but Tear more specifically took a glance at the Rockruff. Walking to it slowly, Tear maintained a decent distance and thought of how to handle it. ("Hm... I'd feel like a monster if I outright attacked it. I'll try befriending it first" Tear thought. Looking around, Tear tried to find something of use. Perhaps an Orun berry? Apples nearby?
Looking around, Tear noticed the stubby tree and saw apples on it's branches. Walking towards it, he tried to climb up the tree, reaching up for his prize; the apple. Whilst climbing, Tear noticed that the other pokemon had also been wanting an apple and stared at the turtwig for a while. Aiming to catch the first apple, he would give it to the turtwig before trying to get a second for himself.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:36 PM
No accidents came about the blue haired man as he traversed the cliffs.
The rockruff remained obvious to tear's thoughts of wanting to approach the rock type as snuggled into its fur. Its tail remained curled around itself as it enjoyed the heat of the day.
As you head to the tree, the Turtwig turned its green face towards you, looking up as if it knew you had came to help it. Truth be told, you have ulterior motives as you grabbed the apple, two more falling from the tree due to your strength. You now had 3 apples, they looked bright and juicy.
RaybladeYesterday at 5:43 PM
Tear pulled on one apple, only for two more to fall, a smug smirk on Tear's face seeing the apples fall to the floor. Hopping off the tree, Tear landed firmly and trusted himself off a bit. Picking up the three apples, Tear put one away for later while he gave one apple to the turtwig and kept the other for the rockruff. Kneeling down, Tear placed the apple in front of the turtwig and spoke calmly. "Here, enjoy." He said to the turtwig before walking away.
He walked back to where the rockruff was last spotted, happy to see that the pokemon has not moved from it's spot. Gradually getting a bit closer, Tear knelt down a bit, trying to offer the other apple to the ground type pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:51 PM
The Turtwig accepted the apple, its eyes closing as it had a huge, dopey smiled plastered across its face. 'Turt!' It began eating the juicy, red apple. Crunch, church. What a messy eater as pieces sprayed out of its maw.
The rockruff's ears perked up as Tear moved closer. Every step you took its ears would rise although it made no move to open its eyes even just a tiny crack.
Only then when you placed down the apple, you could see a blue eye slide open to give you the most point blank stare."Ruff?" It's eyes fluttered open in a half lidded stare.
RaybladeYesterday at 5:56 PM
Tear still kept his distance as to not alert the rockruff. Keeping his hand and apple extended out, Tear tilted the apple left and right as to tempt the rockruff into wanting the apple.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:57 PM
The rockruff looked at the apple. it wasn't really all that hungry but it extended its mouth open and bite into it, snatching the apple from Tear's hand.
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 6:00 PM
The rockruff bit into the apple, snatching it away. Was it just not hungry? A small click of the tongue as Tear realized this. What could he try next then? If it was bathing in the sun, it's likely trying to relax, right? Taking a risk, Tear took a small sigh and moved just a bit closer as he slowly moved his hand closer to try and pet the rockruff. Hopefully this wouldn't alarm the pokemon.(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:07 PM
The rockruff held the apple in its mouth, not chewing on it but stiffened when Tear's hand lay upon its backside. It's eyes were wide as voltorbs and it looked up at the dark skinned teenager."Ruff?" The bark was muffled by the apple.
The rock type wasn't aggressive but it wasn't all that happy about it.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:09 PM
Tear continued to try and pet the rockruff, this time trying a different area. Possibly behind it's ear? He didn't have a lot of options and he wasn't about to needlessly start a pokemon battle if he didn't have to.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:12 PM
The moment you touched the Rockruff, its fur stood on end as it backed away from Tear's hand. Maybe it didn't trust you yet?
RaybladeYesterday at 6:18 PM
Seeing the rockruff back away, Tear closed his eyes. "I suppose that's expected." He spoke. Standing up, Tear reached behind him and pulled out a pokeball. Tossing the ball up into the air, his Pawniard, Agate came from the red and white sphere as it looked at the rockruff. With the pokeball falling back into Tear's hand, he put the ball away and spoke to his own pokemon. "Agate, why not try to relax with this pokemon and try to build more trust with it?" It was his last thinkable option. Hopefully the rockruff would be more trusting of another pokemon and more so willing to play with the pawniard. Sitting down, Tear stared at the rockruff and tried to show it he means no ill intent.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:22 PM
The rockruff eyed the pokeball as the steel/dark type was released. It stood up, thinking that Agate was going to attack it and spit the apple from its mouth."Ruff!" The canine stood on edge.
After panting hard, you could see upon closer inspection there was a fresh gash on the dog's leg.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:26 PM
It took Tear a while but... He was shocked upon discovering the pokemon's leg was harmed. "A gash...?" Tear commented. It was fresh too... What did it? Another pokemon, or an accident? Tear got a bit close to the rockruff and slowly kneeled down, both arms up to show he wouldn't attack suddenly. "Stand back Agate." He instructed his pokemon as he reached for his potion he had on him. Looking at the rockruff, Tear spoke. "This will hurt a bit, but i'll help you..." Lightly holding the rockruff as to not hurt him, Tear would try to use the potion on it's gash. Should he be attacked doing so, then so be it. His own pain was not something he considered more important than a pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:28 PM
The dog laid still as the man picked him up to spray the potion on its wound. It held its egg still and whimpered softly as the wound stung.
What could have happened to this rockruff today?
The dog seemed to calm down as you cleaned its wound of infection.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:31 PM
Upon using the potion to tend to the rockruff's wound, Tear tore his right sleeve to wrap around the pokemon's leg. That was his favorite but that's not important. After wrapping the pokemon's leg, he tried to comfort it but patting the top of its head. "There, better." He gave a very small smile but a more genuine one.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:37 PM
The rockruff sniffed the material that was wrapped around its leg with care. It didn't really like the new scent that began to clung to its fur but wasn't going to complain at this point.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:39 PM
Now that treatment was done, Tear looked at his Pawniard and waved to it, gesturing to it to come closer to Tear. Looking back at the Rockruff, Tear reached behind himself for his pouch and pulled out an empty pokeball. "Hey. How about coming with me?" He asked.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:43 PM
The rockruff's eye watched the empty pokeball that was pulled out of the man's pouch. It understood the basics of what Tear was asking.
Well, if the trainer was going to be patient and gentle it wasn't too bad of a deal. The human also brought it food without having to even ask so that was a plus.
The canine nodded slowly...
RaybladeYesterday at 6:45 PM
"Nice to have you." Tear understood the nod and gently tapped the rockruff's head in order to catch it with his pokeball.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:46 PM

RaybladeYesterday at 6:53 PM
Tear looked at his newly caught rockruff inside of the pokeball and stood up. He stared at the ball, thinking of a nickname to call his new pokemon. "Welcome to the team, Argos." He spoke as he put the pokeball away. Turning to his Pawniard, Tear spoke. "Sorry to waste your time, Agate." That said, he put Agate back into his pokeball and continued on ahead to Route 35
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:58 PM
With your new Rockruff as a team member...you went ahead to route 35

Welcome to the beginning of the #route-35 channel.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:01 PM
Route 35:
Route 35 is a route where grass arounds the curving path to National Park, however there are scattered ponds around the area. Some hills and thicker grass stands on the eastern side of the route.
There was a small house next to the lake where there was a person trying to pick the lock of the front door.
The lake contained many magikarp and there was a man sitting by the edge, trying to catch one with his old rod.
Exits:
Northeast: Route 36
North: National Park
South: Goldenrod City
East: Pokeathlon Dome
RaybladeYesterday at 7:12 PM
As Tear walked through the route he could see grass everywhere as well as some fairly large hills. As he looked around, Tear noticed a man with a fishing rod trying to fish, plenty of ponds and... Someone trying to pick a house lock...? Tear was honestly going to continue about his business. "This doesn't concern me." He spoke as he was walking on ahead to ignore it. Still... Something was bugging him just a bit. Acting on his suspicions, Tear walked to the fisherman and spoke. "Oi, you." He spoke bluntly to the man. "That house behind us, do you live there...?" He questioned.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:14 PM
dumielauxepices.net/sites/default/files/fishing-rod-clipart-pokemon-608357-1642247.jpg
The fisherman was about to reel in a big bite when Tear spoke to him. He craned his neck and looked at the house with the blue roof."Nah, why?" He pulled his line back in as he saw the bait had been eaten."Darn..."
RaybladeYesterday at 7:19 PM
Tear crossed his arms. "Some idiot thought he was being discreet picking that houses' lock. It's not exactly my business so I left it alone. Do you know anyone who lives there?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:21 PM
The fisherman thought for a moment, placing his fingers on his chin as he played with his stumble. "I think...the house is abandoned. I've never seen anyone there."
RaybladeYesterday at 7:22 PM
"Right..." Tear responded. He thought for a moment and soon went back to the house to inspect what might be going on. It's against his better judgement to get involved but he still got bad feelings that egged him to see what was going on. Returning to the house, he looked to see if the suspect was still there.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:26 PM
The person was gone from the spot, the lock having been picked. The door was shut but was it locked behind them?
RaybladeYesterday at 7:31 PM
"Gone but the lock's been picked..." Tear looked at the door and simply gave a smug smirk. Walking in front of the door, Tear kicked it down. It if was abandoned, there was no reason to care about anyone's mortgage. Should the door actually collapse down, Tear would look inside.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:33 PM
Maybe you used too much force as the door was kicked off its hinges, creating a loud bang as it fell into a table, splintering the wood, and spilling potions onto the floor.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:35 PM
With the door kicked in, Tear looked behind him quickly to make sure no one was behind him. Best not fall into any cliches, right? Taking Agate's pokeball in hand, Tear got ready in case he would need to defend himself as he walked inside the house, careful of his surroundings. He looked around and noticed potions had falling to the ground. Was there anything else around...?
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:38 PM
You walk into the house, assulted by the smell of decaying food, stepping over the door on the floor and the spillage. The front room was a mess with its open floor plan. There was a small kitchenette in the corner, covered in spoiled food and dirty dishes. There was a couch against the room with a book cast next to it. There was a book that looked out of place, sticking slightly ajar while the rest of the books were covered in dust and pushed into the case.
Where did that person go? There wasn't anywhere to hide in the small house.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:43 PM
Tear was barraged by the horrible smell inside, the mere fumes of what he had the misfortune of inhaling making his head light. Pushing forward, Tear continued to investigate the home before noticing the book., spoiled foods and other horrid things in the home. Looking at the book first, Tear pulled the out of place book from the case and looked at it's contents.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:45 PM
The binding of the book had a clean hand print through the layer of dust...As you pulled the book, it wouldnt come out all the way as if it was stuck by some strange force. Maybe try pushing it in like all the other books?
RaybladeYesterday at 7:47 PM
As he tried to pull the book out, he nearly let go of it as it wouldn't come out. A small look of confusion and suspicion from Tear as he this time tried to force the book in place properly. It was merely a guess, but it's worth a try.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:52 PM
The book slide back into place. A click could be hear echoing throughout the wall as the wall next to the bookcase began to open up revealing a set of stairs that led under the house.
There was no light coming from the basement but there was a light switch on the wall you could just barely make out with the faint light from the room you were standing in.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:55 PM
Seeing a new path open up, Tear noticed the switch on the wall. He could use the light but no. It's bad enough that opening could have given him away. He'll simply need to proceed with whatever light he had. Keeping Agate's pokeball clutched tightly, Tear quietly made his way down, silent as he could possibly be and sneaking his way in to inspect what's at the other end where the light shined. He had a serious expression on his face and was ready to press the button on the pokeball at any given moment.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:00 PM
You head down into the darkness, the floorboard of the stairs creaking softly. The echo was quite bad, perhaps it was a large basement as you walk down the flight of stairs into a large room.
The basement had rows of tables in the centre with plants placed atop. There was a east and north hall that led somewhere else in the basement.
There was something on the ground that had rolled under the table...
RaybladeYesterday at 8:06 PM
("Dammit, I should have expected these stairs to creak like this...") Tear thought as he made his way down. Peeking from the side he could see the two different entry and something that had rolled under the table. Does he dare look? Maybe he should worry about that when he's sure it's more safe? Tear would continue to peek as he weighed down his options. This was definitely not some place he could just waltz in and expect to easily fight his way out or be saved in things go south. After a bit of time, Tear walked in carefully, reaching for what is under the table.(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:09 PM
You touched something metal and cold...A flashlight! It was kind of heavy so you knew there were batteries in it!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:12 PM
Tear grabbed the flash light and kept it in his right hand. He could tell there was batteries but unsure as to how much energy is left. Looking around if he was clear, Tear made his way to the east hall.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:17 PM
You exit the main room towards the east hall. It was more narrow and the air felt damp. It was then, you felt a droplet of cold water splash on your skin. What this under the lake?
RaybladeYesterday at 8:19 PM
With the droplet of water falling on Tear's face, he took his flashlight and turned it on. With a quick glance of the area, he did his best to remember it and turned the light back off. Advancing cautiously, tried to get through the area a bit more quickly as to avoid something happening should be be under the lake.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:21 PM
The light was bright and full of juice. It would be useful later with a full charge. The area was wet, puddles of water and droplets dripping down the falls. How unstable was the hall?
You turned the lights back off just as something scratched against the concrete flooring.
RaybladeYesterday at 8:25 PM
"Hm..." Tear took note of the rea before hearing a bit of a scratch. With shock, Tear quickly knelt down and turned on the flashlight to look ahead and behind him. His left hand nearly pressed on Agate's pokeball just out of a spooked reaction.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:29 PM
Red eyes glowed in the darkness, squinting closed as you shined the bright light on the pokemon.
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/46/019Rattata.png/250px-019Rattata.png
The small purple rat hissed, it's sharp teeth on display as it charged towards you, upset by the light!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:34 PM
"Tch..." Tear looked up, remembering that there was water above them. Fighting would be too dangerous here. Taunting the Rattata, Tear rushed back, running on the tip of his shoes to avoid making more noise than needed. Going back into the main room, he awaited the rattata to follow him as he could deal with it in a more safe environment. Pressing the button on Agate's pokeball, he was ready for battle as the pawniard emerged.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:37 PM
The Rattata gave chase as it followed Tear towards the other room, skirting under the tables.
Agate 20/20HP VS Rattata 20/20HP
The rat used bite...
It rushes...
RaybladeYesterday at 8:37 PM
Tear was glad it followed him. "Agate, dodge!"

It still hit but it wasn't very affective...

RaybladeYesterday at 8:49 PM
Tear sighed but was a little annoyed having to make a bit of noise... Speaking much more quietly, Tear pat Agate. "Great work. I'll fix you up soon." He praised his pokemon before putting him back into the pokeball. "Now then..." He returned to the hall that lead under the lake.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:51 PM
You returned to the east hall towards the lake. In the darkness you came across a dead end with a few crates that were stacked up against the wall. There was a trapdoor on the ceiling...If you climbed the boxes, you could probably reach it.
RaybladeYesterday at 8:54 PM
He looked at the boxes and examined them, making sure there might not be anything important he could have missed.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:54 PM
There was something that had fallen between the wall and the crates...you could see it shining in the darkness...
RaybladeYesterday at 8:55 PM
Reaching for it slowly, Tear tried to pick up what was shining.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:57 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/41/Dream_Metal_Coat_Sprite.png/45px-Dream_Metal_Coat_Sprite.png
You obtained a metal coat!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:59 PM
Tear looked at the metal coat and nodded. That'll definitely be helpful once he's above ground. Looking up, Tear arranged the crates to reach up. Of course there's still water near, Tear creaked the trap door open very slightly to see if any potential water comes rushing out.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:00 PM
You open the latch with hesitation. The door appeared to be in better condition then the cracked ceilings and walls. You could see the sunlight filter through the very top.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:03 PM
Seeing the sunlight on the other end, Tear closed the door and returned to the ground. It felt like that lead back up so he'd use that if there was nothing else in the basement. Tear soon returned to the hall to make his way to the main basement room, this time ready to walk up north.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:05 PM
You back track towards the main room and head up the north hall. This hall had a door on either side of the wall and a door at the end.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:08 PM
Tear looked at the doors and decided to first inspect the left side. Carefully opening it, he looked inside and peeked.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:09 PM
You open the door...The room looked to be a mini lab of some sorts although there was a large pool of water, having damaged some of the equipment.
There was paperwork scattered across the desks and a locked cabinet and overturned trashcan...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:11 PM
This room was giving Tear some bad vibes. He's decide this is a room he'll inspect a bit later. Closing the door, he turned around to face the right entrance, once again opening it slightly to peek inside.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:13 PM
You left the room and enter the opposite room. Inside looked to appear to be a living space that had been recently used. There was a bucket catching a leak in the ceiling. There were two beds, one was made while the other was not along with a key and remote on the nightstand between the beds.
There was a small minifridge and a television in the room.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:16 PM
Again, bad vibes but one he felt the need to investigate. Clutching his pokeball, Tear walked slowly to the beds where key and remote was. As he walked, he kept looking all around him as to see if he'd get ambushed by anything. He was especially cautious of the bed, be it something on it or under.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:19 PM
The room was quiet except the sound of the droplets falling into the bucket. It just appeared to be a living space and nothing more.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:20 PM
Tear aimed to pick up the keys, thinking it may be useful for later. He would soon inspect the room a bit more.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:21 PM
You picked up the door key!
The remote seemed to be for the TV. Taking another look around the room, you could see articles of clothing on the floor. Whoever lived there wasn't very clean. The minifridge had a microwave atop it. The trashcan was full of empty bento boxes.
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 9:28 PM
("This is absolutely disgusting..") There thought. With one last checked, Tear opened the minifridge.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:29 PM
You open the minifridge...Inside was a fizzy soda pop and a pork bento box. Score!
(edited)
Bottle: You can put any type of liquid in the bottle. The liquid can be drank from trainers or pokemon 3 times before the bottle empties. Soda recovers 2 HP.
Pork Lunch Box: Feeds a trainer and gains 6 hp from eating it.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:33 PM
Tear closed the fridge. ("No way am I taking that in a house like this.") He thought. Leaving this room, Tear looked at the door ar the end of the hall. Peeking inside once aggain, he was careful for anything that may happen.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:35 PM
You left the bento and soda pop in the fridge before checking the hallway. It was still quiet...
There was still the room at the end of the hallway...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:40 PM
He peeked through the last door at the end of the hall
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:41 PM
The door was locked!
RaybladeYesterday at 9:42 PM
And just like that, all form of subtlety went flying out the window. Tear kicked at the door once again, hoping to have knocked it down.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:44 PM
You had just got a key but you kicked the door anyway! The door was ripped off its hinges and falls to the floor...
The room had a large aquarium and lots of plants hanging from the ceiling. There were vials of purple liquid on the desk and a machine that had a long sheet of paper with numbers on it hanging from it.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:48 PM
"What the hell is this...?" Tear walked in and inspected the room, checking out the veils and paper.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:51 PM
The vials contained purple liquid. The substance had an inconsistent vibe to it, being thick in some vials while thin in others.
Some of the plants had purple splotches on them, like the flesh of the plant had been eaten away by something.
The roll of paper that was hanging from the machine only contained strings of numbers and code. It was highly unlikely you could figure it out with a specialist to look at it.
Something watched you from inside the aquarium...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:53 PM
Tear inspected the area more and commented. "This has to be a lab... If it's underground, there's likely illegal activity going on here too..." Looking at the aquarium, Tear looked at the glass tank. He felt watched and so he looked from afar.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:55 PM
In the murky water was a brown aquatic pokemon...

The pokemon barely moved through the water, watching you with tired red eyes.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:57 PM
Tear walked closer to the tank to inspect the pokemon. How long has this pokemon been here...? He stared back at the aquatic pokemon and waited to see what it would do
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:58 PM
The skrelp was not good at swimming, so it clung to the side of the tank, releasing murky purple liquids similar to what was inside the vial.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:00 PM
Tear was unsure what to do with this pokemon... It seemed to struggle but he's unsure if it could survive out of water... Tear inspected the pokemon. Was it small enough to fit in that soda bottle he found earlier...?
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:02 PM
Through the murky, almost black water you could see bodies lay floating at the top. They looked to be of the same type as what was in front of you.
The skrelp was a little over a foot tall, probably too big for the soda bottle.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:07 PM
Tear looked more closely, seeing some of the bodies that lay floating above, Tear's expression was one of shock. He covered his mouth from the disgust of it. ("Dammit, is this from those veils?! ") He was constantly going over what might happen if he leaves it or if he broke the aquarium. He didn't want to risk the pokemon possibly dying without water and it clearly will die being left inside. Not only that, the purple secretions seem to risky to hold without protection or to take into a lake...
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:09 PM
Maybe there was something to take the skrelp out into? It looked sick weather it was from the living conditions or the decaying bodies in the water.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:10 PM
Tear looked around the area, hoping there was something large enough he could possibly fit the pokemon into.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:12 PM
There was a few clear moving containers under the desk. Maybe they were inside those at one point? It looked to be the same size as the seahorse.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:21 PM
It's better than nothing. Tear picked up the container and put it up somewhere to the side. With a secure container, Tear looked around to see if there were any pure water he could put the pokemon in.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:22 PM
There wasn't any water in the room that was clean enough to be used...try one of the other rooms maybe?
RaybladeYesterday at 10:23 PM
Tear would look at the pokemon and leave the room, looking back at the previous room on the left. Or in this case, Tear's right
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:28 PM
You went back to the other lab room. The large pool of water, having damaged some of the equipment. it was a steady stream of water that squeezed through the crack in the ceiling.
The paperwork on the desks were wet in areas and dry in others. There was still the locked cabinet and overturned trashcan...
RaybladeYesterday at 10:35 PM
Good, close enough! Rushing back to the previous room with the pokemon Tear looked at the aquarium. With a deep breath Tear put his pokeball back and removed his small cloak. Wrapping it around his left hand and parts of his arm, they acted as a brace as Tear moved his arm over his right shoulder. Smashing his arm against the glass, he had hoped to break the glass to empty the water and with it the pokemon. He could tell it was a poison type and putting his hand into a pool of literal decay, poison and god knows what else, this was the best choice.
If he was successful, Tear would try to quickly put the pokemon into the container and rush back into the other lab to fill it with more pure water.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:42 PM
You cracked the glass as you slammed yourself against it...!
But it hurt like a bitch and you lost 1 HP!
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 10:43 PM
Tear winced a bit but winded his arm over the right shoulder again. This time should do it... Slamming his arm once again, he hoped it would be enough to break it.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:45 PM
You slammed up against the glass, cracking it halfway! You lost another HP point!
The Skrelp seemed to understand you were trying to free it and it opened its mouth to hit the glass with a water pulse!
As the pulse of water hit the glass, the water began to slide out of the cracks, shattering the glass!
RaybladeYesterday at 10:48 PM
Tear's hand was hurt but at least the pokemon was freed. He carefully tried to pick up the pokemon without having too exposed to the poison and contaminated waters and placed it into the empty container. Rushing into the other lab room, Tear began to fill the tank up with water for the pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:57 PM
The skrelp was placed into the container as it was rushed across the other room and the water dripped into the container. You could hear something...
Crack..crackle...thud!
Your pants were suddenly soaked as a huge hole opened up in the side of the wall!
RaybladeYesterday at 10:59 PM
Tear felt water running by as a hole has opened up. Tear clicked his tongue in annoyance but hopefully that's not water that came directly from the lake. It it was, he'd need to start leaving soon. Tear looked at the tank and once it was filled with fresh water, Tear stood up and thought of where to go next. Perhaps the trapdoor from earlier?
Ecruteak City:

RaybladeYesterday at 5:07 PM
It's been a while coming but one should have expected they'd be leaving their hometown at some point. Tear has been living with Ecruteak City for many years, and now, he was about to set out to start his own journey. Most aspiring trainers leave around the age of 12 or higher but... It felt weird to leave his family behind without at least assuring them he'd be okay on his own at his current age. When the goodbyes and wishes were made, Tear set out.
Upon making leave of Ecruteak, he made way to the south where route 37 should be located. He had heard that it's a good place to start once's journey and also a ways ahead going. If they're right, it should be a nice new experience to go through. "Route 37, huh?" Tear thought to himself quietly, already deciding where his next destination would be. He made his way there.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:08 PM
Tear left the city of Ecruteak towards route 37...
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:11 PM
Route 37:
Route 37 is a small route with trees everywhere with plains scattered throughout. There is a path more towards the western side of this route leading towards the north into thick grass, but even still grass is scattered throughout the entire area. There isn't any water areas in the location.
There was a mareep grazing on the grass near a worn down fencepost.
A deerling could be seen sleeping under the shade of a tree.
A sentret was playing tag with a nidoran M.
Exits:
South: Route 36
North: Ecruteak City
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 5:16 PM
Upon leaving Ecruteak City, Tear found himself in Route 37, an area filled with vibrant green foliage all around the surrounding area. The many trees and plains were a sight to see as Tear walked through it, taking note of what's around him. He saw glimpses of few pokemon, many of which caught his eye. Now that he thought about it... Just how many pokemon could he encounter during his journey? He was lost in thought thinking about it. Oh well... Best not to lose focus, right? Ignoring the current pokemon there, Tear continued traveling ahead leading down to Route 36.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:18 PM
You left for route 36...
#route-36
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:21 PM
Route 36:
Route 36 is a large route that has large cliffs and forests in the area and connects to about four different places. This area has a lot of different types of grass and rock pokemon and thick patches of tall grass can be found throughout the northern areas in between the large groupings of trees. There isn't too many water spots in this area.
There was a turtwig trying to reach an apple from a slightly stubby tree.
A rockruff was laying on a rock sunbathing in the warmth.
Exits:
South: Ruins of Alph
Southwest: Route 35

RaybladeYesterday at 5:31 PM
When he reached Route 36, he swiftly saw the cliffs below. They didn't seem too high so they're not of any danger but he still wouldn't want to accidentally fall over the edges of them. Walking by carefully to avoid the cliffs he caught wind of more pokemon in the area. Truth be told, he wasn't quite sure as to what pokemon species they were but Tear more specifically took a glance at the Rockruff. Walking to it slowly, Tear maintained a decent distance and thought of how to handle it. ("Hm... I'd feel like a monster if I outright attacked it. I'll try befriending it first" Tear thought. Looking around, Tear tried to find something of use. Perhaps an Orun berry? Apples nearby?
Looking around, Tear noticed the stubby tree and saw apples on it's branches. Walking towards it, he tried to climb up the tree, reaching up for his prize; the apple. Whilst climbing, Tear noticed that the other pokemon had also been wanting an apple and stared at the turtwig for a while. Aiming to catch the first apple, he would give it to the turtwig before trying to get a second for himself.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:36 PM
No accidents came about the blue haired man as he traversed the cliffs.
The rockruff remained obvious to tear's thoughts of wanting to approach the rock type as snuggled into its fur. Its tail remained curled around itself as it enjoyed the heat of the day.
As you head to the tree, the Turtwig turned its green face towards you, looking up as if it knew you had came to help it. Truth be told, you have ulterior motives as you grabbed the apple, two more falling from the tree due to your strength. You now had 3 apples, they looked bright and juicy.
RaybladeYesterday at 5:43 PM
Tear pulled on one apple, only for two more to fall, a smug smirk on Tear's face seeing the apples fall to the floor. Hopping off the tree, Tear landed firmly and trusted himself off a bit. Picking up the three apples, Tear put one away for later while he gave one apple to the turtwig and kept the other for the rockruff. Kneeling down, Tear placed the apple in front of the turtwig and spoke calmly. "Here, enjoy." He said to the turtwig before walking away.
He walked back to where the rockruff was last spotted, happy to see that the pokemon has not moved from it's spot. Gradually getting a bit closer, Tear knelt down a bit, trying to offer the other apple to the ground type pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:51 PM
The Turtwig accepted the apple, its eyes closing as it had a huge, dopey smiled plastered across its face. 'Turt!' It began eating the juicy, red apple. Crunch, church. What a messy eater as pieces sprayed out of its maw.
The rockruff's ears perked up as Tear moved closer. Every step you took its ears would rise although it made no move to open its eyes even just a tiny crack.
Only then when you placed down the apple, you could see a blue eye slide open to give you the most point blank stare."Ruff?" It's eyes fluttered open in a half lidded stare.
RaybladeYesterday at 5:56 PM
Tear still kept his distance as to not alert the rockruff. Keeping his hand and apple extended out, Tear tilted the apple left and right as to tempt the rockruff into wanting the apple.
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:57 PM
The rockruff looked at the apple. it wasn't really all that hungry but it extended its mouth open and bite into it, snatching the apple from Tear's hand.
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 6:00 PM
The rockruff bit into the apple, snatching it away. Was it just not hungry? A small click of the tongue as Tear realized this. What could he try next then? If it was bathing in the sun, it's likely trying to relax, right? Taking a risk, Tear took a small sigh and moved just a bit closer as he slowly moved his hand closer to try and pet the rockruff. Hopefully this wouldn't alarm the pokemon.(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:07 PM
The rockruff held the apple in its mouth, not chewing on it but stiffened when Tear's hand lay upon its backside. It's eyes were wide as voltorbs and it looked up at the dark skinned teenager."Ruff?" The bark was muffled by the apple.
The rock type wasn't aggressive but it wasn't all that happy about it.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:09 PM
Tear continued to try and pet the rockruff, this time trying a different area. Possibly behind it's ear? He didn't have a lot of options and he wasn't about to needlessly start a pokemon battle if he didn't have to.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:12 PM
The moment you touched the Rockruff, its fur stood on end as it backed away from Tear's hand. Maybe it didn't trust you yet?
RaybladeYesterday at 6:18 PM
Seeing the rockruff back away, Tear closed his eyes. "I suppose that's expected." He spoke. Standing up, Tear reached behind him and pulled out a pokeball. Tossing the ball up into the air, his Pawniard, Agate came from the red and white sphere as it looked at the rockruff. With the pokeball falling back into Tear's hand, he put the ball away and spoke to his own pokemon. "Agate, why not try to relax with this pokemon and try to build more trust with it?" It was his last thinkable option. Hopefully the rockruff would be more trusting of another pokemon and more so willing to play with the pawniard. Sitting down, Tear stared at the rockruff and tried to show it he means no ill intent.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:22 PM
The rockruff eyed the pokeball as the steel/dark type was released. It stood up, thinking that Agate was going to attack it and spit the apple from its mouth."Ruff!" The canine stood on edge.
After panting hard, you could see upon closer inspection there was a fresh gash on the dog's leg.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:26 PM
It took Tear a while but... He was shocked upon discovering the pokemon's leg was harmed. "A gash...?" Tear commented. It was fresh too... What did it? Another pokemon, or an accident? Tear got a bit close to the rockruff and slowly kneeled down, both arms up to show he wouldn't attack suddenly. "Stand back Agate." He instructed his pokemon as he reached for his potion he had on him. Looking at the rockruff, Tear spoke. "This will hurt a bit, but i'll help you..." Lightly holding the rockruff as to not hurt him, Tear would try to use the potion on it's gash. Should he be attacked doing so, then so be it. His own pain was not something he considered more important than a pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:28 PM
The dog laid still as the man picked him up to spray the potion on its wound. It held its egg still and whimpered softly as the wound stung.
What could have happened to this rockruff today?
The dog seemed to calm down as you cleaned its wound of infection.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:31 PM
Upon using the potion to tend to the rockruff's wound, Tear tore his right sleeve to wrap around the pokemon's leg. That was his favorite but that's not important. After wrapping the pokemon's leg, he tried to comfort it but patting the top of its head. "There, better." He gave a very small smile but a more genuine one.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:37 PM
The rockruff sniffed the material that was wrapped around its leg with care. It didn't really like the new scent that began to clung to its fur but wasn't going to complain at this point.
RaybladeYesterday at 6:39 PM
Now that treatment was done, Tear looked at his Pawniard and waved to it, gesturing to it to come closer to Tear. Looking back at the Rockruff, Tear reached behind himself for his pouch and pulled out an empty pokeball. "Hey. How about coming with me?" He asked.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:43 PM
The rockruff's eye watched the empty pokeball that was pulled out of the man's pouch. It understood the basics of what Tear was asking.
Well, if the trainer was going to be patient and gentle it wasn't too bad of a deal. The human also brought it food without having to even ask so that was a plus.
The canine nodded slowly...
RaybladeYesterday at 6:45 PM
"Nice to have you." Tear understood the nod and gently tapped the rockruff's head in order to catch it with his pokeball.
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:46 PM

RaybladeYesterday at 6:53 PM
Tear looked at his newly caught rockruff inside of the pokeball and stood up. He stared at the ball, thinking of a nickname to call his new pokemon. "Welcome to the team, Argos." He spoke as he put the pokeball away. Turning to his Pawniard, Tear spoke. "Sorry to waste your time, Agate." That said, he put Agate back into his pokeball and continued on ahead to Route 35
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:58 PM
With your new Rockruff as a team member...you went ahead to route 35

Welcome to the beginning of the #route-35 channel.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:01 PM
Route 35:
Route 35 is a route where grass arounds the curving path to National Park, however there are scattered ponds around the area. Some hills and thicker grass stands on the eastern side of the route.
There was a small house next to the lake where there was a person trying to pick the lock of the front door.
The lake contained many magikarp and there was a man sitting by the edge, trying to catch one with his old rod.
Exits:
Northeast: Route 36
North: National Park
South: Goldenrod City
East: Pokeathlon Dome
RaybladeYesterday at 7:12 PM
As Tear walked through the route he could see grass everywhere as well as some fairly large hills. As he looked around, Tear noticed a man with a fishing rod trying to fish, plenty of ponds and... Someone trying to pick a house lock...? Tear was honestly going to continue about his business. "This doesn't concern me." He spoke as he was walking on ahead to ignore it. Still... Something was bugging him just a bit. Acting on his suspicions, Tear walked to the fisherman and spoke. "Oi, you." He spoke bluntly to the man. "That house behind us, do you live there...?" He questioned.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:14 PM
dumielauxepices.net/sites/default/files/fishing-rod-clipart-pokemon-608357-1642247.jpg
The fisherman was about to reel in a big bite when Tear spoke to him. He craned his neck and looked at the house with the blue roof."Nah, why?" He pulled his line back in as he saw the bait had been eaten."Darn..."
RaybladeYesterday at 7:19 PM
Tear crossed his arms. "Some idiot thought he was being discreet picking that houses' lock. It's not exactly my business so I left it alone. Do you know anyone who lives there?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:21 PM
The fisherman thought for a moment, placing his fingers on his chin as he played with his stumble. "I think...the house is abandoned. I've never seen anyone there."
RaybladeYesterday at 7:22 PM
"Right..." Tear responded. He thought for a moment and soon went back to the house to inspect what might be going on. It's against his better judgement to get involved but he still got bad feelings that egged him to see what was going on. Returning to the house, he looked to see if the suspect was still there.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:26 PM
The person was gone from the spot, the lock having been picked. The door was shut but was it locked behind them?
RaybladeYesterday at 7:31 PM
"Gone but the lock's been picked..." Tear looked at the door and simply gave a smug smirk. Walking in front of the door, Tear kicked it down. It if was abandoned, there was no reason to care about anyone's mortgage. Should the door actually collapse down, Tear would look inside.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:33 PM
Maybe you used too much force as the door was kicked off its hinges, creating a loud bang as it fell into a table, splintering the wood, and spilling potions onto the floor.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:35 PM
With the door kicked in, Tear looked behind him quickly to make sure no one was behind him. Best not fall into any cliches, right? Taking Agate's pokeball in hand, Tear got ready in case he would need to defend himself as he walked inside the house, careful of his surroundings. He looked around and noticed potions had falling to the ground. Was there anything else around...?
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:38 PM
You walk into the house, assulted by the smell of decaying food, stepping over the door on the floor and the spillage. The front room was a mess with its open floor plan. There was a small kitchenette in the corner, covered in spoiled food and dirty dishes. There was a couch against the room with a book cast next to it. There was a book that looked out of place, sticking slightly ajar while the rest of the books were covered in dust and pushed into the case.
Where did that person go? There wasn't anywhere to hide in the small house.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:43 PM
Tear was barraged by the horrible smell inside, the mere fumes of what he had the misfortune of inhaling making his head light. Pushing forward, Tear continued to investigate the home before noticing the book., spoiled foods and other horrid things in the home. Looking at the book first, Tear pulled the out of place book from the case and looked at it's contents.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:45 PM
The binding of the book had a clean hand print through the layer of dust...As you pulled the book, it wouldnt come out all the way as if it was stuck by some strange force. Maybe try pushing it in like all the other books?
RaybladeYesterday at 7:47 PM
As he tried to pull the book out, he nearly let go of it as it wouldn't come out. A small look of confusion and suspicion from Tear as he this time tried to force the book in place properly. It was merely a guess, but it's worth a try.
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:52 PM
The book slide back into place. A click could be hear echoing throughout the wall as the wall next to the bookcase began to open up revealing a set of stairs that led under the house.
There was no light coming from the basement but there was a light switch on the wall you could just barely make out with the faint light from the room you were standing in.
RaybladeYesterday at 7:55 PM
Seeing a new path open up, Tear noticed the switch on the wall. He could use the light but no. It's bad enough that opening could have given him away. He'll simply need to proceed with whatever light he had. Keeping Agate's pokeball clutched tightly, Tear quietly made his way down, silent as he could possibly be and sneaking his way in to inspect what's at the other end where the light shined. He had a serious expression on his face and was ready to press the button on the pokeball at any given moment.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:00 PM
You head down into the darkness, the floorboard of the stairs creaking softly. The echo was quite bad, perhaps it was a large basement as you walk down the flight of stairs into a large room.
The basement had rows of tables in the centre with plants placed atop. There was a east and north hall that led somewhere else in the basement.
There was something on the ground that had rolled under the table...
RaybladeYesterday at 8:06 PM
("Dammit, I should have expected these stairs to creak like this...") Tear thought as he made his way down. Peeking from the side he could see the two different entry and something that had rolled under the table. Does he dare look? Maybe he should worry about that when he's sure it's more safe? Tear would continue to peek as he weighed down his options. This was definitely not some place he could just waltz in and expect to easily fight his way out or be saved in things go south. After a bit of time, Tear walked in carefully, reaching for what is under the table.(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:09 PM
You touched something metal and cold...A flashlight! It was kind of heavy so you knew there were batteries in it!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:12 PM
Tear grabbed the flash light and kept it in his right hand. He could tell there was batteries but unsure as to how much energy is left. Looking around if he was clear, Tear made his way to the east hall.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:17 PM
You exit the main room towards the east hall. It was more narrow and the air felt damp. It was then, you felt a droplet of cold water splash on your skin. What this under the lake?
RaybladeYesterday at 8:19 PM
With the droplet of water falling on Tear's face, he took his flashlight and turned it on. With a quick glance of the area, he did his best to remember it and turned the light back off. Advancing cautiously, tried to get through the area a bit more quickly as to avoid something happening should be be under the lake.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:21 PM
The light was bright and full of juice. It would be useful later with a full charge. The area was wet, puddles of water and droplets dripping down the falls. How unstable was the hall?
You turned the lights back off just as something scratched against the concrete flooring.
RaybladeYesterday at 8:25 PM
"Hm..." Tear took note of the rea before hearing a bit of a scratch. With shock, Tear quickly knelt down and turned on the flashlight to look ahead and behind him. His left hand nearly pressed on Agate's pokeball just out of a spooked reaction.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:29 PM
Red eyes glowed in the darkness, squinting closed as you shined the bright light on the pokemon.
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/46/019Rattata.png/250px-019Rattata.png
The small purple rat hissed, it's sharp teeth on display as it charged towards you, upset by the light!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:34 PM
"Tch..." Tear looked up, remembering that there was water above them. Fighting would be too dangerous here. Taunting the Rattata, Tear rushed back, running on the tip of his shoes to avoid making more noise than needed. Going back into the main room, he awaited the rattata to follow him as he could deal with it in a more safe environment. Pressing the button on Agate's pokeball, he was ready for battle as the pawniard emerged.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:37 PM
The Rattata gave chase as it followed Tear towards the other room, skirting under the tables.
Agate 20/20HP VS Rattata 20/20HP
The rat used bite...
It rushes...

RaybladeYesterday at 8:49 PM
Tear sighed but was a little annoyed having to make a bit of noise... Speaking much more quietly, Tear pat Agate. "Great work. I'll fix you up soon." He praised his pokemon before putting him back into the pokeball. "Now then..." He returned to the hall that lead under the lake.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:51 PM
You returned to the east hall towards the lake. In the darkness you came across a dead end with a few crates that were stacked up against the wall. There was a trapdoor on the ceiling...If you climbed the boxes, you could probably reach it.
RaybladeYesterday at 8:54 PM
He looked at the boxes and examined them, making sure there might not be anything important he could have missed.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:54 PM
There was something that had fallen between the wall and the crates...you could see it shining in the darkness...
RaybladeYesterday at 8:55 PM
Reaching for it slowly, Tear tried to pick up what was shining.
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:57 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/41/Dream_Metal_Coat_Sprite.png/45px-Dream_Metal_Coat_Sprite.png
You obtained a metal coat!
RaybladeYesterday at 8:59 PM
Tear looked at the metal coat and nodded. That'll definitely be helpful once he's above ground. Looking up, Tear arranged the crates to reach up. Of course there's still water near, Tear creaked the trap door open very slightly to see if any potential water comes rushing out.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:00 PM
You open the latch with hesitation. The door appeared to be in better condition then the cracked ceilings and walls. You could see the sunlight filter through the very top.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:03 PM
Seeing the sunlight on the other end, Tear closed the door and returned to the ground. It felt like that lead back up so he'd use that if there was nothing else in the basement. Tear soon returned to the hall to make his way to the main basement room, this time ready to walk up north.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:05 PM
You back track towards the main room and head up the north hall. This hall had a door on either side of the wall and a door at the end.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:08 PM
Tear looked at the doors and decided to first inspect the left side. Carefully opening it, he looked inside and peeked.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:09 PM
You open the door...The room looked to be a mini lab of some sorts although there was a large pool of water, having damaged some of the equipment.
There was paperwork scattered across the desks and a locked cabinet and overturned trashcan...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:11 PM
This room was giving Tear some bad vibes. He's decide this is a room he'll inspect a bit later. Closing the door, he turned around to face the right entrance, once again opening it slightly to peek inside.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:13 PM
You left the room and enter the opposite room. Inside looked to appear to be a living space that had been recently used. There was a bucket catching a leak in the ceiling. There were two beds, one was made while the other was not along with a key and remote on the nightstand between the beds.
There was a small minifridge and a television in the room.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:16 PM
Again, bad vibes but one he felt the need to investigate. Clutching his pokeball, Tear walked slowly to the beds where key and remote was. As he walked, he kept looking all around him as to see if he'd get ambushed by anything. He was especially cautious of the bed, be it something on it or under.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:19 PM
The room was quiet except the sound of the droplets falling into the bucket. It just appeared to be a living space and nothing more.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:20 PM
Tear aimed to pick up the keys, thinking it may be useful for later. He would soon inspect the room a bit more.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:21 PM
You picked up the door key!
The remote seemed to be for the TV. Taking another look around the room, you could see articles of clothing on the floor. Whoever lived there wasn't very clean. The minifridge had a microwave atop it. The trashcan was full of empty bento boxes.

RaybladeYesterday at 9:28 PM
("This is absolutely disgusting..") There thought. With one last checked, Tear opened the minifridge.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:29 PM
You open the minifridge...Inside was a fizzy soda pop and a pork bento box. Score!
(edited)
Bottle: You can put any type of liquid in the bottle. The liquid can be drank from trainers or pokemon 3 times before the bottle empties. Soda recovers 2 HP.
Pork Lunch Box: Feeds a trainer and gains 6 hp from eating it.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:33 PM
Tear closed the fridge. ("No way am I taking that in a house like this.") He thought. Leaving this room, Tear looked at the door ar the end of the hall. Peeking inside once aggain, he was careful for anything that may happen.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:35 PM
You left the bento and soda pop in the fridge before checking the hallway. It was still quiet...
There was still the room at the end of the hallway...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:40 PM
He peeked through the last door at the end of the hall
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:41 PM
The door was locked!
RaybladeYesterday at 9:42 PM
And just like that, all form of subtlety went flying out the window. Tear kicked at the door once again, hoping to have knocked it down.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:44 PM
You had just got a key but you kicked the door anyway! The door was ripped off its hinges and falls to the floor...
The room had a large aquarium and lots of plants hanging from the ceiling. There were vials of purple liquid on the desk and a machine that had a long sheet of paper with numbers on it hanging from it.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:48 PM
"What the hell is this...?" Tear walked in and inspected the room, checking out the veils and paper.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:51 PM
The vials contained purple liquid. The substance had an inconsistent vibe to it, being thick in some vials while thin in others.
Some of the plants had purple splotches on them, like the flesh of the plant had been eaten away by something.
The roll of paper that was hanging from the machine only contained strings of numbers and code. It was highly unlikely you could figure it out with a specialist to look at it.
Something watched you from inside the aquarium...
RaybladeYesterday at 9:53 PM
Tear inspected the area more and commented. "This has to be a lab... If it's underground, there's likely illegal activity going on here too..." Looking at the aquarium, Tear looked at the glass tank. He felt watched and so he looked from afar.
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:55 PM
In the murky water was a brown aquatic pokemon...
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/4e/690Skrelp.png/250px-690Skrelp.png
The pokemon barely moved through the water, watching you with tired red eyes.
RaybladeYesterday at 9:57 PM
Tear walked closer to the tank to inspect the pokemon. How long has this pokemon been here...? He stared back at the aquatic pokemon and waited to see what it would do
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:58 PM
The skrelp was not good at swimming, so it clung to the side of the tank, releasing murky purple liquids similar to what was inside the vial.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:00 PM
Tear was unsure what to do with this pokemon... It seemed to struggle but he's unsure if it could survive out of water... Tear inspected the pokemon. Was it small enough to fit in that soda bottle he found earlier...?
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:02 PM
Through the murky, almost black water you could see bodies lay floating at the top. They looked to be of the same type as what was in front of you.
The skrelp was a little over a foot tall, probably too big for the soda bottle.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:07 PM
Tear looked more closely, seeing some of the bodies that lay floating above, Tear's expression was one of shock. He covered his mouth from the disgust of it. ("Dammit, is this from those veils?! ") He was constantly going over what might happen if he leaves it or if he broke the aquarium. He didn't want to risk the pokemon possibly dying without water and it clearly will die being left inside. Not only that, the purple secretions seem to risky to hold without protection or to take into a lake...
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:09 PM
Maybe there was something to take the skrelp out into? It looked sick weather it was from the living conditions or the decaying bodies in the water.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:10 PM
Tear looked around the area, hoping there was something large enough he could possibly fit the pokemon into.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:12 PM
There was a few clear moving containers under the desk. Maybe they were inside those at one point? It looked to be the same size as the seahorse.
RaybladeYesterday at 10:21 PM
It's better than nothing. Tear picked up the container and put it up somewhere to the side. With a secure container, Tear looked around to see if there were any pure water he could put the pokemon in.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:22 PM
There wasn't any water in the room that was clean enough to be used...try one of the other rooms maybe?
RaybladeYesterday at 10:23 PM
Tear would look at the pokemon and leave the room, looking back at the previous room on the left. Or in this case, Tear's right
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:28 PM
You went back to the other lab room. The large pool of water, having damaged some of the equipment. it was a steady stream of water that squeezed through the crack in the ceiling.
The paperwork on the desks were wet in areas and dry in others. There was still the locked cabinet and overturned trashcan...
RaybladeYesterday at 10:35 PM
Good, close enough! Rushing back to the previous room with the pokemon Tear looked at the aquarium. With a deep breath Tear put his pokeball back and removed his small cloak. Wrapping it around his left hand and parts of his arm, they acted as a brace as Tear moved his arm over his right shoulder. Smashing his arm against the glass, he had hoped to break the glass to empty the water and with it the pokemon. He could tell it was a poison type and putting his hand into a pool of literal decay, poison and god knows what else, this was the best choice.
If he was successful, Tear would try to quickly put the pokemon into the container and rush back into the other lab to fill it with more pure water.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:42 PM
You cracked the glass as you slammed yourself against it...!
But it hurt like a bitch and you lost 1 HP!
(edited)
RaybladeYesterday at 10:43 PM
Tear winced a bit but winded his arm over the right shoulder again. This time should do it... Slamming his arm once again, he hoped it would be enough to break it.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:45 PM
You slammed up against the glass, cracking it halfway! You lost another HP point!
The Skrelp seemed to understand you were trying to free it and it opened its mouth to hit the glass with a water pulse!
As the pulse of water hit the glass, the water began to slide out of the cracks, shattering the glass!
RaybladeYesterday at 10:48 PM
Tear's hand was hurt but at least the pokemon was freed. He carefully tried to pick up the pokemon without having too exposed to the poison and contaminated waters and placed it into the empty container. Rushing into the other lab room, Tear began to fill the tank up with water for the pokemon.
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:57 PM
The skrelp was placed into the container as it was rushed across the other room and the water dripped into the container. You could hear something...
Crack..crackle...thud!
Your pants were suddenly soaked as a huge hole opened up in the side of the wall!
RaybladeYesterday at 10:59 PM
Tear felt water running by as a hole has opened up. Tear clicked his tongue in annoyance but hopefully that's not water that came directly from the lake. It it was, he'd need to start leaving soon. Tear looked at the tank and once it was filled with fresh water, Tear stood up and thought of where to go next. Perhaps the trapdoor from earlier?
