Test 5.
VERITY The journey this month has been easier on you in several ways; despite your losses, your numbers have been bolstered by the addition of two more this month, and unlike the unforgiving terrain on the way to Lake Acuity the routes to Lake Verity seem downright hospitable - they're straightforward, the climate is far more temperate, and there are patches of cheer visible here and there along the paths in the form of those brightly-colored flowers, even as you make your way toward the lakefront. But the lakefront itself is perhaps unsettlingly silent; a reminder, perhaps, of what you're here to do, of the importance of your task. You'll reach the lake sometime in the evening. The sun isn't down yet, but it looks as though it won't be too long before it dips below the horizon; there's more than enough light for you to see what the lake itself looks like, however - the water is still and clear, to an extent where you can see straight down to the bottom regardless of how deep it gets. There's no bridge or other way to cross over the lake that you can see, but once again there's a large rock formation rising out of the center of the lake and a good-sized opening in the stone, leading to what's likely a system of caverns further inside. Your exploration starts here, next to the crystal clear waters of Lake Verity; what happens next is up to you. |

Not everyone battled, you know. There were some that were breeders - they just raised Pokémon to be the best they could be. So it's fine if you don't, even here. Not everyone did.

Flora here [gestures at the skiddo] looks like the animals I raise at home. They’re called goats. Feisty animals, loud and opinionated, and quick to a challenge.
Doing that, you learn how each of ‘em has their own unique personality.

...Well, um, before the thing Cyrus did. Yours are starting to change and stuff, though, right?
[Hey, Flora. He will pause to lean over a bit to get a better look.]

[Being a little on the shy side, she backs away before curiosity wins out and she sniffs at him. It only takes her half a minute to decide he’s all right, though. She’s going to nose at your hand, your face, everything, basically, because Bucky sure has encouraged her curiosity.]

People weren't doing much of anything just a couple months ago. It's weird to think about.

I'm glad to see people doing better. I... used to be similar to how people were when we first showed up, even how people are right now.
[That's about as detailed as he wants to get when discussing things with a twelve-year-old though.]
People and Pokemon have both improved.

[sorry bucky oh my god

[It's not exactly a lie.]
Some bad people tried to take over the world, and overthrow governments to do it. They very nearly succeeded, but they were stopped in the end.

I think we can help each other out. We both need to get to the guardian-- and I'm sure Rowan would want to talk to my group.
