Ch. 32x: Raoga Takes Flight!
Location: Mysterious Cave → Sky Highlands
No time for rest, still trapped in a place known by only a few, you pick the surprisingly heavy purple apple to inspect its ordinary shape. Mm, thinking about it, this journey proves to be quite taxing for its worth. Humans are somehow nonexistent around these parts, foods and resources alike being oddly rare. As if the sense of surprise dries out for having seen anomalies afoot continuously, surely that a bite wouldn't hurt a hungry Trainer...
"...Wait, no, this isn't right." Regardless of how close you are to fill your belly, you can't really eat it. It's undeniable of what history is contained within the apple you're holding, and to prove it, you shuffle through the bag... for an empty Poké Ball and gently press it on the apple.
"..."
"... ..."
"Maybe I should try harder." Determined by what you believe is possible, you hopefully clasp both items. As it turns out, you manage to get a reaction, in which the Poké Ball finally prompts itself with a gaping entrance! The purple apple gleams bright red before entering inside, as it falls along with the encased device down onto the pool of sand, shaking consecutively in advance.
*Click!*
Gotcha! You caught a Purple Apple! A sense of relief washes you the instant it's gone silent, though it's questionable to see you manage to fit something like this inside.
Well, what now? Instead of pondering how strange was that, you divert your attention at a bright gap formed and set high from the now broken wall, laying an upward and haphazard entrance of stacked stones. You weren't really asking for an exit the time you entered, but hey, does this appear to be one is something you're going to figure out soon enough. You carefully ascend onward the clutter, step by step...
The sun sinks low, veiled by thousand clouds, you stand near the edge as the windy breeze greets you with a full view of the entire Raoga Region.
...Except they're no longer one with the open blue -- barring the apartment you once lived in, they're all dispersed and floating! What's currently going on? There's nobody present that could explain the bizarre phenomenon, only you telling yourself that you're effectively stuck until there's a way to get down.
You glance at the region below once more, before turning around for a way. Fortunately, there happens to be one narrow path leading even higher altitudes. As to not get swept away by the strong winds, you carefully stick onto the walls as you follow a narrow, craggy path that stretches further to the side of the precipice.
