Intro Post

Edge of Turnbloom City

[A Seviper wearing a number of things hovers at the edge of Turnbloom City. It has a red and orange cape on, is wearing a carry bag, and an amulet is tied around its neck. The Seviper makes no attempt to enter the city, opting only to stare into it, shifting its focus from one thing to another.

And then it catches sight of you approaching, tensing up a little. Unfortunately, if a human happens to approach him, he'll start backing away.]

Shrouded Woods, closed to Non-Humans

[The Seviper doesn't stay there forever. He eventually retreats into the neighboring forest, opting to try and hide from human civilization. Whatever you're doing in the forest, A Seviper enters your view. He quickly notices you, too, and courteously bows down to you, speaking in the language only Pokemon can understand, as all Pokemon can.]

I greet you. It sure is a beautiful day, is it not?

Shrouded Woods!

[Calyrex was alone however he was finally dressed up as they adorned a seasonal appropriate attire, and a basket full of treats in hand. Calyrex stopped upon hearing Kebi. Turning to the snake Pokemon, Calyrex smiled.]

Why yes it is. It is quite different from the vast snowy fields of the Crown Tundra.

[Slowly, Calyrex reached into the basket to pull out a cookie to hold it right out to Kebi.]

Would you care of a treat?

[snakewithacape]

[Kebi has had encounters with legendaries before. He's met both Mew and Mewtwo, stopped Darkrai from doing something terrible, and has heard of Arceus, Dialga, and Palkia. He's never heard of Calyrex before, and is thus assuming this is just a normal Pokemon, albeit one he's never seen before.

Kebi smiles thankfully, offering his tailblade to have Caylex put the cookie on it.]

I thank you for the offer. I go by the name of Kebi. May I ask what your name is?

[ulternnpc]

[Calyrex placed the cookie onto Kebi's blade. The cookie itself was well made, as it gave a sweet scent of the berries that was baked into it. Hopefully Kebi wasn't opposed to sweet flavors.]

It is nice to be acquainted with you, Kebi.

[Calyrex gave a smile of their own. With a swish of their newly decorated cape, Calyrex spoke.]

I am known as Calyrex. I am quite new to these parts. I assume that you are, as well?

[snakewithacape]

[Kebi briefly flickers his tongue over the cookie. Hmm, it does indeed smell tasty! He takes a bite. It's actually pretty good.]

Indeed, I am. It's a pleasure to meet you, Calyrex. I'm supposed to be in Hoenn, with everyone else in the guild.

[Oh no... Kebi just realized something. He hides his worry with the same curious, yet polite demeanor.]

Er, may I ask if you've seen a Snivy? Or Lopunny? Or Rotom? Or Ampharos? Or Jolteon? Or... ah, apologies, but I'm unsure if any of my teammates have been transported here with me.

[ulternnpc]

The Hoenn region... that is quite the ways away from where I hail.

[But Calyrex have heard of it. It was far sunnier and warmer compared to where Calyrex was used to living in, much like Ultern.]

I do apologize, but I have not seen either of those Pokemon you have mentioned. However, this area is a vast place. Perhaps they are out there somewhere.

[Calyrex offered an encouraging smile to Kebi. Although, there was no way to tell for certain whether Kebi's friends were around or not.]

[snakewithacape]

Indeed, it is. I travelled there from Ilaan with my guildmates in order to investigate rumors of some legendary treasure. It... unfortunately, it ended up becoming very chaotic.

We ended up having to stop Darkrai from taking over the real world by sealing off access to the dream world.

[ulternnpc]

[Guildmates? Treasure? Saving the world from imminent doom? That got Calyrex to give Kebi a rather inquisitive look at his way.]

Judging by what you have said, I take that you and your teammates you have mentioned are adventurers?

[Calyrex lets out a hum before raising his hand and nodding at Kebi in approval.]

It takes great courage to be able to face a Pokemon as formidable as Darkrai. And for that, I will commend you and your team for your acts of bravery in order to maintain the peace in your world.

[snakewithacape]

[Kebi nods.]

Indeed, we are. Though, I mostly started as a sentry for my village back in Ilaan before I was instructed to check out what the nearby guild was about. As you can see, I ended up joining.

[Kebi may indeed be brave, but he still gets a haunted look about him. The Darkrai adventure got... really bad. Pokemon died.]

That... that may be, but... conflict that big should not have happened in the first place. It got to be a bit much...

[ulternnpc]

Ah...

[As old as Calyrex is, they're no stranger to the tragedies of battle. There's a look of sympathy from the Legendary Pokemon.]

Do not lose heart. There is no way to take back what is lost, but remember that there are lives that you have protected.
