[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Spear [M] [OOC]

Team:

Grace l Togetic l ♀ l Serene Grace l Bold
Moves:
Extrasensory l Sweet Kiss l Life Dew l Charm l Fairy Wind l Pound l Ancient power l Yawn l Metronome

Len received Grace as an egg from an odd, yet mesmerizing woman outside of a pokemon contest he was attending. She Togetic is calm and collected, trying her best to improve everyone else's mood. Len sees her as a motherly type of pokemon, as she will give up her own treats or spend a lot of effort just to make someone else smile. Grace tends to focus on defense in battle, as she can heal and disrupt an opponent easier that way, but is not above striking back if provoked.

Stitch l Mimikyu l ♂ l Disguise l Jolly
Moves:
Wood Hammer l Splash l Astonish l Copycat l Scratch l Double Team l Shadow Sneak l Baby Doll Eyes l Mimic

Stitch was found in the Watchtower Ruins, hiding amongst the debris. He would watch people come close, and try to greet them, but they would run in fear. This saddened the small pokemon caused him to be a bit timid. However, after meeting Lennox, Stitch received his long desired attention, and eagerly joined Len's team. Stitch's mood tends to change based on how accepted he feels from others. On Len's team, he keeps a Jolly attitude, and is eager to prove himself. Stitch is quick on his feet, and hits hard, however, Len questions how Stitch would do at a pokemon contest.

Feedback l Elekid l ♂ l Static l Adamant
Moves:
Quick Attack l Leer l Charge l Thundershock l Swift l Shock Wave l Thunder Wave l Screech l Thunderpunch l Discharge

Feedback is an elekid Len met at Route 5. It challenged any passerby to a battle to prove itself however It lost to Len's mimikyu, and decided to join Len's team to get stronger. Feedback is hyper and moody, challenging pokemon to and accepting battles without a second thought. It holds Stitch the mimikyu in especially high regard, due to him being the one who ended Feedback's win streak. Len has an additional nickname for Feedback in "Fee Fee", which Feedback absolutely despises.

Naga l Feebas l ♀ l Swift Swim l Calm
Moves:
Splash l Tackle l Flail

Naga was found in the canals of Motostoke, as an invasive species. She is curious and kind to those who are kind to her. She, like Stitch, have lack of confidence in their appearance, but enjoy the company of their trainer because he thinks they're great. Naga, while weak, is surprisingly fast in water. She, like Grace, focus more on the support and defensive role in battle.

Ruby l Vulpix l ♀ l Flash Fire l Timid
Moves:

Ember l Tail Whip l Incinerate l Disable l Quick Attack l Spite l Confuse Ray l Will o Wisp l

Ruby was caught during the Motostoke Gym challenge. She is timid by nature, and hasnt quite gotten used to Lennox as a trainer. She only seems to trust Grace, and at this point, the future of this pokemon is unclear.

Items:
Old rod
Good rod
Pokedex
Pokeballs
Cooking equipment
Shiny Stone

Strengths:

Creativity: Len has autism, which let's him see the world in a different way than most people. Because of this, he is a great tactician, coming up with interesting plans. In pokemon battles, he loves combining moves or using a pokemon's idiosyncrasies to gain the upperhand. And one of his greatest joys is getting out of seemingly hopeless situations. But mostly, he likes making moves look pretty. To combine a beautiful move and peak battle strategies is what he lives for.

Cooking: He also enjoys cooking, and does thorough research on the effects different foods have on different pokemon. He is just as eager to cook as he is to battle, and loves when pokemon try his food. However, he only likes to cook for people who have earned his trust.

Weaknesses:

Socially awkward: Len is not very social and tends not to get along with people. While he can certainly feign interest and politeness, it is emotionally draining. He much prefers to be himself, but recognizes that people may not like who he truly is. As he doesnt have sincere conversations with people, he has never had a real friend, and struggles to find any meaningful connection.

Forgetful: He is also forgetful and can get lazy. While he loves to think up elaborate strategies, he is known to think too far ahead and often forgets the first steps of his plans, which may cause simple mistakes. His mother calls him "The Forgetful Tactician", due to how his plans are hit or miss particularly for that reason. Along with strategies, he often forgets names and faces. This can pose a problem for him and his pokemon. But he has heard that some people find his forgetfulness cute.

Aspirations: Lennox loved watching pokemon contests growing up. They started out simple, but they grew into intricate dances on stage that dazzled the audience. His favorite part, however, were the contest double battles. The amazing combinations were breathtaking. Combine that with his love of fairy type pokemon, and Lennox's dream has been shaped.

Lennox has a soft spot for fairy type pokemon, and would like to be a trainer who is known for specializing in fairy types. He has contemplated working to be a gym leader or a contest coordinator. They may even both be possible. But for now, he would like to go with the flow and see where it takes him.

The smuggler incident of route 5 has affected more locations downstream, and now several non-native fish Pokemon have wandered into the polluted waters of the Motostoke river. The Motostoke city council has deployed its best fishermen to handle the situation and clear out the river, both for the sake of the people and the health of the Pokemon themselves. They would probably be grateful for some free assistance and who knows- you might get something out of it! If you don't have an old rod, you could perhaps buy one from a fisherman, if your trainer can afford it.
Reward: 1 x Good rod

Mission 2:
Though the disappearances in Motostoke have slowed down since our trainers' last visit, it seems the police are still struggling to find a culprit, and many are complaining that the brass are twiddling their thumbs while more people continue to get taken away.

Reward: Medal of Flames + TM Sunny Day

[CATCH CHANCE!] Mission 5:
Monkey see, monkey do… and these monkeys have seen a hell of a lot of crime recently. That's right, a group of Aipom have gone ahead and learned "Thief" to put it lightly. With flexible tails and sticky fingers they're grabbing anything they can before fleeing deeper into the concrete jungle and people are pretty rightfully peeved. Find these simmering simians and put their ringleader Ambipom in its place!
Reward: TM Thief

Mission 6:
The Battle Cafe is in need again, everyone is in a frenzy for the upcoming Gym Battle and everyone is desperate for some comfort food while they watch it on the tele! The café's response to this?

Reward: Curry Making Kit + TM Incinerate

Mission 7:
As you walk down the roads of Motostoke, a Herdier of all things runs up to approach you. Not a common pokémon for these parts, it seems to be in a bit of a panic. Desperately it tried to lead you away… to where it's owner, a little girl, has tumbled down into one of the ravines below.
Reward: Shell Bell + 400 Poké

Mission 8:
Exploring the streets of the now familiar city, a bellow echoes across the city and Murkrow begin to fly in an erratic panic in response. Who else could it be but the commanding presence of the Record Shop owner? A band of pokémon with the move "Round" have decided to put on a special performance on his street, singing some god awful and out of tune songs together. It's really hurting his business but they're too powerful together for him to take on alone…
Reward: Flapple zPod + TM Grass Whistle

[MULTI] Mission 9:
The Pokémon Adoption Centre has more Pokémon to adopt. So, if you are a big hearted trainer, you're more than welcome to adopt any stray and abandoned Pokémon they have. Thank you for giving these guys a new home.

Houndour
Espurr
Cubone
Galarian Farfetch'd
Cleffa

Mission 10:
The PokeSamurais of Hope is in production! It's an upcoming anime about The PokeSamurai, a group of Pokémon defenders who use powers from Ancient Pokémon to do battle against their eternal foes: The PokeMakai; sinister Ghost Pokémon, whose goal is to plunge the world into darkness. The first episode of the series will begin as a pilot to the entire show, and they're looking for solid people who can play roles! Are you talented enough to try out?

Rival:

Starter Pokémon and Nickname: Togepi
Obtained from an egg from a strange hooded passerby while visiting Sinnoh for a pokemon contest.

Starters Gender: Female

Starters Moveset:
Extrasensory
Sweet Kiss
Life Dew
Charm
Fairy Wind
Pound

Starter Ability: Serene Grace

Roleplay Sample:

Syrus cringed, hoping that his pokemon's growl attack would end soon. The young trainer had not noticed that the attack did not produce the results that he had expected. Instead, the growl attack, or rather the soundwaves from it, had aided the kricketot in a counterattack. IT seemed to release a soundwave even larger than Grace's, one that was noticeably causing damage. Grace abruptly ended her growl attack, needing to cover her ears instead. As Grace attempted to back away from the screeching pokemon while enduring, Syrus noticed again that Grace appeared to shimmer. It want as if he were disappearing, but moreso that she was splitting. An after image was almost produced with each step. It didnt look like his pokemon could even tell that she was doing this at all.

Syrus contemplated the situation. Whether the pokemon was meaning to or not, it was definitely hurting him and his pokemon. To top it off, the pokemon was following them anyway. It didnt seem that they would be able to run away either. They would have to strike back. Syrus looked around. There was plenty to use around this beaten path.

"Grace!" Syrus yelled, attempting to get his message through the sound permeating the air. "The rocks! Use confusion!" Ralts peered down to see the rocks, stones, and gravel from the beaten path. They werent very large, being much smaller than either pokemon, but they were plentiful. Grace's eyes glowed a deep ocean blue, following the rest of her body in the might glow. Around the green and white pokemon, a dozen or so bits of small debris rose from the ground, matching the glow of the pokemon controlling them. "Rock beats bug, right? That's what I learned in school anyway" Syrus was semi serious this time. He didnt want to be held up, even by such a young pokemon. With those words as a signal, Grace fired small bits of rock and stone at the kricketot, trying hard not to break concentration from the ongoing uproar attack.

(Im doing this all on my phone. If I get accepted, i will edit this to be pretty)

Yo! Mr. Fox Rally here, here to do the bidding of the spear overlords

Lennox looks super cool! I love me a good tactician character, and the fact he's into cooking should be fun, especially with the new cooking-based mission we got (hinthint)

While the character himself poses no problems, the only things I would request to change before approval are some elements of his backstory- Galar doesn't have an Elite 4 (in the games, you fight the previous gym leaders in a tournament-style event before taking him on) so his aspiration should be reworked to either "gym leader" or "champion". The other thing is contests- unlike Hoenn or Sinnoh, the contests in Spear are more like the anime - in other words, performances rather than battles. So that part of the SU should be reworded a little.

Other than that, once those are changed he'll be approved!

Mizumanta · Aug 15, 2021

Oh, sorry. I should have been clearer.

Since Kabu came from Hoenn and is now a gym leader, I meant that my character planned to travel around regions (like Ash) and eventually work his way up to a gym leader and then to the Elite 4 of a region.

He likely won't stay in Galar for the rest of his life.

Unless...this rp plans to go long enough to crown a champion out of its members.

I'll change it

Edit: "Togepi boi"?!

Mizumanta said:

That's the plan ;)

Anyway, with those minor issues fixed, Lennox Glass is accepted! Btw, you're able to get either one or two extra Pokemon at this stage if you want (already captured), in case you didn't want Len to just have been traveling with a Togepi for 6 months.

P.S. Lemme know your discord ID so we can add you in to the spear discord chat!

Mizumanta · Aug 16, 2021

What pool of pokemon may I choose from?

At what level can my team be to catch up?

Are there any items that I need to catch up?

And do I need to do the first set of even challenges before doing the next set?

I've been reading alot (there's so much to catch up on. So is there a post summarizing where we can get pokeballs and other items? It seems some pokemon are only available when You have a great ball.

And where would you like me to start?

I kinda want that feebas. But cleffa is calling my name too

My discord ID is Mizumanta. I actually don't use discord since it's so complicated,for me T^T but can make an exception if you want.

Sorry for all the questions.

Foxrally · Aug 16, 2021

Mizumanta said:

You can pick any of the wild Pokemon that were available on previous routes, outside of missions.

Mizumanta said:

We don't do Pokemon levels in Spear (this is storytelling, not a video game!) so you don't have to worry about that. In terms of 'power' or strength, assume that your Pokemon have done a fair bit of battling since Lennox's graduation, but still nowhere near enough to be an ace trainer.

Mizumanta said:
Are there any items that I need to catch up?

Items are usually given as mission rewards and therefore optional. Don't worry about any mechanics of owning and using them- in Spear every item is basically a "key item", in other words, more about the story than the mechanics.

Mizumanta said:
And do I need to do the first set of even challenges before doing the next set?

You don't necessarily need to re-do all the previous stages! Given how much you'd have to catch up on, you'd likely end up lagging behind in the story, which isn't super fun. Instead what some newcomers (like Tim and Xan) have done is introduced themselves later in the story, and gave a 'retrospective' post on what they've been doing the whole time (in their cases, they chose not to face Milo, but it's not a requirement).

Mizumanta said:
So is there a post summarizing where we can get pokeballs and other items? It seems some pokemon are only available when You have a great ball.

You can safely assume your trainer has a decent amount of Pokeballs with him (unless, for storytelling purposes like Tim, you want him to be broke). As for higher level stuff like great balls, they're usually acquired through main or custom missions (where you set the reward yourself).

Mizumanta said:
And where would you like me to start?

I kinda want that feebas. But cleffa is calling my name too

It's up to you, but I highly recommend Motostoke (the current stage!) If you're looking to get either of those Pokemon, be sure to claim the appropriate mission in the OOC first ;)

Mizumanta said:

Your discord ID comes with a # and four numbers afterwards, and I need those as well to add you! (My username is Foxrally#0276)

Discord may seem a little daunting but in the long run its by far the most efficient way to get your questions answered and hype with others about the RP!!

Mizumanta · Aug 16, 2021

1) Okay. I will choose Mimikyu from Watchtower ruins (hopefully Ralts is available elsewhere) and an elekid from Route 5. Though cutiefly, eevee, and galarian corsola will be missed lol

I will edit my profile to reflect that. I assume they do not know any egg moves or anything outside of their natural movepool.

2) sorry, I understand the RP uses a more abstract concept than mere levels. It was more for where we are on movepools. If togepi has been battling for 6 months, I assume it would have learned more moves along the way. I checked other people's profiles, bit it seems like most are unchanged from when they first applied.

3) gotcha.

4) so in order to do the "#2" parts of missions, I can assume my character has done #1 already? For example, instead of backtracking to where the old rod was once available, I it acceptable to assume I got the old rod and am eligible for the next mission? If allowed, I can reference past events in the post.

5) alright. I shall.

6) I sent you a pm.

If my character is allowed to have an old rod, I would like to do mission 2.

If he is not permitted to have an old rod yet, then mission 1 please.

STAGE 11 - THE NORTHERN WILD AREA

Spoiler:

The journey continues!

Kabu has been defeated, three badges in the cases of each trainer on the long journey ahead, but the road paves itself forward for new adventures! With adventure in mind and a new era of the journey beginning, the trainers of Wedgehurst return once more to...

The Wild Area.

With multiple segments, unique weather and most importantly, a plethora of new pokémon to be discovered and befriended, this location promises to be the another major, formative step for many of these trainers journeys. Now they grab their dexes, ready their pokéballs and stand at the precipice of the next stage in their great adventure. Go forth new trainers! Seize the day!

.

THE WILD AREA

Throughout the course of Pokémon Spear, stages involving the wild area may appear. These stages are special in a number of ways, which will be listed here:

1: The wild area is divided into various segments and sub-regions. Each of these sub-regions serves a particular purpose in the original games, providing different wild pokémon and items to the player. In Spear, these areas have been divided and in some cases lumped together to provide a list of setting to choose from.

2: Different areas have different pokémon! Each unique region of the wild area has its own unique pokémon listed, available for you to catch!

3: Different areas have different problems! Each unique region of the wild area has its own set of missions to undertake. As such Wild Area stages have significantly more missions than other stages in the RP.

4: Catch multiple pokémon! In the games, the wild area is a place to capture pursue and encounter many different pokémon, exploring and catching to your hearts content. As such, beyond your first capture, you may capture an additional pokémon each time you complete a mission! You can capture a total of 3 pokémon per Wild Area stage in this manner.

5: Random chance! Know that the ZMs rolled the dice and randomized the weather in each and every region available to you as players. This randomized weather helps determine the types of mission and pokémon available in each zone. As well as this, every wild area stage has an "Invasive Hoard" species, meaning a random evolution line is selected from the pokédex and the base form of same is available to capture in all areas during the stage.

Finally, here is a map of the Northern Wild Area for reference:

.

MOTOSTOKE RIVERBANK

Wild Pokémon Available:

Pokémon available in Mission 4:

Pokémon available in Mission 5:

WEATHER:

Intense Sunlight

A short stretch of land standing beneath the main Eastern side of the Motostoke bridge. Fire type pokémons traverse the area frequently due to its proximity to Motostoke city. With the addition of intense sunlight on this, a particularly warm day for the area, make sure you're ready to withstand the heat as you bid Motostoke City farewell.

MISSIONS:

Mission 1:
It's hot out here. Like, stupid hot, and multiple trainers have settled by the riverbank to cool off for a little while. If only sitting around by the water wasn't so boring. What about a Water Pokemon tournament? Now that sounds like fun! Anyone with water-type Pokemon (or a Pokemon that can swim) is welcome to join!
Reward: Lure Ball + Water Gem x 2 + Lemonade x 3

Mission 2:
Some final Motostoke woes as you leave the city seem like an inevitability at this point, but you weren't expecting something so violent..! On the bridge above, a terrible accident has occurred, a transport truck full of inhabited pokéballs has swerved and now hangs perilously over the edge. The driver is still inside and in a panic and only a single pair of rangers are on hand. You have to do something to help... lives are quite literally hanging in the balance!
Reward: Old Trucker's Hat + Roller Skates

[OPEN] Mission 3:
As you leave Motostoke City, you may just be a gym trainer with three badges under your belt. That catches interest and the public needs to know, what are your plans going forward? Any comments on your fellow competitors? What IS your favorite pokémon anyway? Pretty invasive these journalists, but what's your response? Do you live it up and enjoy the fame? Do you try to run away and escape the attention? Or maybe a battle will set them straight?
Reward: A little thing called fame + TM Encore

[CATCH CHANCE!] Mission 4:
It's that time of year again! Galar's Oricorio flocks are making their yearly migration through the wild area. Bird watchers are flocking towards the landing sight, all hoping to be the first to behold the bird Pokemon's debut. In fact, it's getting a little crowded, and there's speculation that the Oricorio won't land with so many people around. Certainly that means these guys and gals will clear out so that the Pokemon can land, right? Wrong! Instead, they've chosen to fight one another. You might want to break this up before the Oricorio arrive.
Reward: TM Acrobatics + nectar of your choice

[CATCH CHANCE!] Mission 5:
All these bird shenanigans have forced the local Trapinch to retreat from their habitat, and they're not happy about it! They have relocated to a local campsite and attempted to drive out the campers by initiating a synchronized-sneak-ankle-biting-manuveur. When that didn't work, they started digging pitfall traps. Can't someone help these campers and Trapinch come to some kind of truce?
Reward: TM Dig

.

BRIDGE FIELDS

WILD POKÉMON AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA

Pokemon available in Mission 3 & 4:

WEATHER:

Snow

A set of pristine and sprawling fields between two massive bridges that make up the Southern League Circuit. A calm and clear area usually, a freak snowstorm has fallen here due to the events that have taken place recently on the routes above. Enjoy this pristine and serene area as best you can, despite the sudden abundance of ice type pokémon not usually native to the area. Perhaps a sign of areas to come?

MISSIONS:

Mission 1:
The warm and cold winds coming from the north and south of the wild area have created quite the strange weather conditions in Bridge Fields, and snow is now covering the area- and with it come ice-types, who have been fighting for territory with the more common population. Unfortunately, this news doesn't bear too well for Farmer Rowe and his crops, the ice Pokemon have decided to use his fields as a temporary home. If he doesn't get them out soon, the Rowe family's delicious Apicot jam will be far less sweet this year.
Reward: Bag of Apicot Berries + TM Natural Gift

Mission 2:
[OPEN] An official-looking fellow by the name of a "Watt Trader" approaches you as you pass by the Wild Area's Pokemon Nursery. He tells you that as an initiative to get trainers interested in the world of poke-electrical-engineering, his organization is offering prizes to any trainer that can generate enough Watts on his machine- break the previous record, and win the grand prize! Is your electric-type's voltage enough to power a whole building?
Reward: Luxury Ball
Participation Prize: Great Ball

Mission 3:
[CATCH CHANCE!] A battle of the minds in the Pokemon geometric world! A gang of wandering Eiscue that have floated down from the river have come across the local population of Cryogonals. The discovery of this new hexagonal shape has sparked an identity crisis debate among the ice-type intellectuals, and now the Eiscues are furiously pecking at each other to convince each other that their head shapes are of the optimal geometry. Please end the debate once and for all, it can't be healthy for them.
Reward: Eiscue Head Mask

Mission 4:
[CATCH CHANCE!] Upon seeing the recently-visiting Eiscues in bridge fields, a young Cryogonal has come to a realization- it desires to be an hexagon no more. It has been continuously ramming its body into hard objects in an effort to reshape itself- but alas, to no avail. Unfortunately for everyone, these objects also include nearby buildings and vegetation, which people are keen to preserve. Will you assist the ice-type in this tale of discovery and self-acceptance?
Reward: Ice Gem x 3

Cloudy

A wide open savanna with a few densely forested areas. Its named for its lake which borders on the desert of Dusty Bowl. The flat and particularly reflective surface has been said to have served as a mirror that brought smiles to the faces of giant pokémon who happened upon it. Yet now reflections in the water are tapered by the overcast clouds of grey that hover in the sky above... Traverse through this memorable area to potentially skirt around the raging sands and get closer to the looming Hammerlocke city.

MISSIONS:

Mission 1:
[CATCH CHANCE!] Absol, a rumored bringer of doom, has been spotted in the area lately. Upon this so-called cursed Pokemon's arrival, strange on goings have been happening: mainly things like dust storms or small fires. One could say it was the cause of Absol's bad luck. But, is there more to this? Is Absol really the cause, or is it some unknown entity?
Reward: Razor Claw

Mission 2:
[CATCH CHANCE!] In the middle of the night, chaos breaks loose in an isolated research center as research subject TI-00, a Riolu, escapes with the help of several men and a getaway truck. But the men want to steal Riolu, not help it, so Riolu breaks out again and flees into the wild. According to news reports from the local Pokemon Rangers. with so many people after it, it's going to need someone to help protect it. Will you lend a helping hand? How will you decide it's fate?
Reward: TR Aura Sphere

Mission 3:
[OPEN] There were some rumors that in the dead of night, there were sparks of fire that flashed through the sky. Dark-coloured flames that turned the sky into a brilliant shade of crimson. With the rumors abuzz, will you try and seek out the source? What will happen once you see this brilliant entity?
Reward: Pokedex entry: Galarian Moltres

Mission 4:
"Hiiii, this is LovelyRina and we are like, soooo going to rock the Strugglecon!" It looks like a streamer has gotten herself into trouble around the area. With so many dangerous wild pokemon around, it's not so good to be so enamored with yourself. Will you help this narcissistic, pig-tailed, pink-haired streamer? "It will be sooooo like, your honor, after all!"
Reward: Great Ball + LovelyRina merch…?

DUSTY BOWL

WILD POKÉMON AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA

Pokémon available in Mission 1:

Pokémon available in Mission 2:

WEATHER:

Sandstorm

One of the most memorable and unique areas of the Wild Area, a sprawling desert that occupies the majority of the Northern plains. The expansive sands are often host to raging sandstorms that turn regular travelers away from the idea of traversing the area at all. There are many accessible routes to avoid it entirely after all. Still, powerful ground type pokémon can be found dwelling here... so for many trainers the sands are worth the risk.

MISSIONS:

Mission 1:
[CATCH CHANCE!] A battered Galarian Yamask is weakly floating through the dusty bowl, attempting to complete the natural pilgrimage of its species and evolve into a Runerigus. The journey to the Stone Bridge is perilous, however, and many enemies lie ahead to stop this little Yamask from reaching its destination. Aid the Pokemon in its quest, and who knows- maybe it'll decide to join your journey next…
Reward: Float Stone

Mission 2:
[CATCH CHANCE!] A poor family of tourists is in quite the pickle. As they got out of their car to explore the wonders of Dusty Bowl, they returned to find their vehicle trapped- and by a large Boldore, no less. It seems the lovestruck rock-type has mistaken the family's car as a mate, and has decided to perch himself on top of it to seduce it with his smouldering (or rather, bouldering) charms. Help them shoo this rocky Romeo away.
Reward: Red Rose (held in the Boldore's "mouth") with a Miracle Seed in the center

Mission 3:
As you make your way through the buffeting sandstorm of the Dusty Bowl, you encounter an even thicker cloud of sand in a smaller area- and wonder how such a phenomenon occurred so randomly. It turns out, a particularly competitive Silicobra has decided to challenge a Hippowdon to a sand stream contest, and is (obviously) losing. Will you help the little underdog make its mark on the sand-streaming competitive scene, or will you side with the reigning Heavyweight Hippowdon?
Reward: Smooth Rock

Mission 4:
Ugh, on top of the sandstorm, it seems the dusty bowl is also going through an early-summer heat wave- which makes journeying through here all the more uncomfortable and tiring. Thankfully though, you're a responsible trainer (hopefully) and you've stocked up on plenty of water for yourself and your team. The same can't be said for some of the wild Pokemon in the area- as you look around you see plenty of them lying around in the shade, exhausted and desperately looking for a way to cool down. Maybe you could help?
Reward: Heat Rock

LAKE OF OUTRAGE

WILD POKÉMON AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA

Pokémon available in Mission 1:

WEATHER:

Thunderstorm

The Lake of Outrage, also known as the Lake of Imperial Rage, is often described as one of if not the most excessively dangerous area that the wild area has to offer. Situated across the titular sprawling body of water is a secluded segment of land covered in mysterious stone circles of unknown origin. As a Thunderstorm rages above, dragon pokémon native to the area stir and elemental energies burst forth from beneath the soil... approach with extreme caution.

MISSIONS:

[CATCH CHANCE!] Mission 1:
On the far bank of the lake, cut off from the hustle and bustle of the Wild Area proper, fire and dragon attacks have been seen bursting into the skyline. A Drampa and Turtonator have gotten locked into a territorial dispute and if someone doesn't step in? Then a large number of wild pokémon could get seriously injured.
Reward: 1 x Dragon Fang

[MULTI] Mission 2:
They say that the Lake of Outrage is suffused with the energy of countless different types of pokémon from years passed. This energy disperses and manifests alongside nearby standing stones, generating a potent amount of elemental energy. Guardian pokémon protect gems that are born of this energy, only by defeating them can you hope to claim the prize they offer.
Reward:
Defeat Flareon - Fire Stone
Defeat Vaporeon - Water Stone
Defeat Jolteon - Thunder Stone
Defeat Espeon - Sun Stone OR Dawn Stone
Defeat Umbreon - Moon Stone OR Dusk Stone
Defeat Leafeon - Leaf Stone
Defeat Glaceon - Ice Stone
Defeat Sylveon - Shiny Stone

Mission 3:
A wandering Shiinotic has been seen shepherding smaller pokémon to a nearby cave to hide from the storm raging just outside. Little does it know, it's wandered into the den of an aggressive and territorial pokémon; Grapploct. Shiinotic now desperately tries to protect the young pokémon it's placed in such danger, yet by itself things look grim.
Reward: 3 x Balm Mushroom + 1 x Large Mushroom

Mission 4:
Scavenging from wild pokémon is allowed by local ranger activists, but knocking out or hunting wild pokémon for their parts is forbidden. Yet in this region with a surplus of powerful pokémon, a poacher has chosen to ignore the rules. The rangers are tracking him as we speak and offer a reward for anyone who aids in his capture. Still… a wealthy man like that? Could have something useful to offer instead…
Reward: 1 x Dragon Scale + 2000 Poké

HAMMERLOCKE HILLS

WILD POKÉMON AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA

Pokémon available in Mission 1:

WEATHER:

Fog

An expanse of higher cliffs and hilltops at the North most side of the Galarian Wild Area. Close to Hammerlocke as it is, more domesticated pokémon can generally be found here, as well as a few that enjoy the exciting heights of the tall cliffs. Even a few stragglers moving North from the desert litter the vertigo inducing region. As a thick set of fog flows in, the massive Hammerlocke city is more imposing than usual, accentuated by psychic type pokémon not usually found in the region, flitting about in the dense mist.

MISSIONS:

[CATCH CHANCE!] Mission 1:
Plunging from the clifftops above to stop any menace it finds... protecting the good people from evil and dread... serving as the Hammerlocke Hills Hero, the red lightning crashing down from above... Heroic Hawlucha is here! Here... and in trouble. It seems this heroic pokémon has bitten off a little bit more than it can chew and has quite literally landed in a heap of trouble. What kind of trouble? Well why don't you tell us! (And maybe help him out while you're at it?)
Reward: Heroic Mask + Expert Belt

[OPEN] Mission 2:
Getting lost in the fog can be kind of fun or incredibly terrifying depending on your perspective and current state of urgency. Still, who knows who else is wandering around in the mists? Or what illusions could be conjured by the psychic pokémon rolling in with it? It's time for a chance encounter with someone unexpected. A fellow classmate, an old flame or a new rival, who do you run into while lost in the mists? More importantly, is any of it even real? Seems like you're about to find out.
Reward: 1 x Odd Incense + 1 x Psychic Gem

Mission 3:
Tipsy topsy, topsy turvy, flip around and fall upside down. The local inkay have found a new leader who flipped enough to evolve straight up, Malamar. Cliffs are a dangerous place to tumble and Malamar hunts by causing happy little accidents. For travelers on the road this is potentially lethal. Someone has to climb to the highest clifftop and stop this tumbling tyrant... but can you even reach him if your gravity is getting flopped about? Either way, someone's going to take a fall.
Reward: TM Trick Room

Mission 4:
Hammerlocke is a gathering point for strong trainers, those that have already attempted the challenge, those who think they're too good for it, those who think too highly of themselves in general... Well to put it simply, the term 'Ace Trainer' isn't quite as impressive as it once was. Some people tend to feel a little inadequate because of that. Ace Trainer Irene is one of those people. She's been waiting patiently to challenge a gym challenger of some merit to a one on one battle for supremacy... and she's been spreading nasty rumors about them while she waits. If you've gotten some nasty looks closer to Hammerlocke, she might just be to blame, maybe you ought to teach her some humility? Be careful not to underestimate this conniving character.
Reward: 3 x Ultra Ball

NOTE TO ALL: Please when claiming a mission, give the missions number AND the missions location. (Giant's Mirror, Lake of Outrage, etc.)
