Let's keep fishing! You never know what kind of bizarre things our almighty rod might reel in. :D

And so, a tie happened and it hasn't broken yet by a majority bias. Could've gone to use both choices into one, but seems like we'll be needing to choose between the two instead.

How about we beat the Gym Leader in a fishing contest?

Alright, I give in and change my vote to #2.

Well, that's nice, I guess. We can move on now, though I almost had an idea for the fourth option. Oh well... moving on.

It's uncertain if you can really trust what it says to you, so...
  1. Ignore the voice and head east. - 1 Vote
  2. Keep fishing! They say a Mantine lives in this very pond! - 3 Votes
  3. Go back to where you found the orb.
  4. Win against the Gym Leader of this town. - 1 Vote

Chapter 18: Mantine

Location: Shanama Town
At one side you are encouraged to go somewhere, whether by self-volition or guided by an unknown somebody. At one point, you also want to challenge the Gym of this town and earn your first badge.

However, the rumors circulating about a Mantine living in this very pond tempts you to stay longer to fish out this aquatic Pokmon out of its hiding. With great perseverance, you keep on waiting to watch the line. Not long after, you feel something pulling out the line of your rod, which you fight off by holding the rod tight and imitate the same.

True to their words, you can see the twin navy antennae popping out from the water. Then, it hoists itself up high from the water, looking above you with its expressionless stare, then flies off without letting go of the hook. Because of this, you also find yourself being lifted up, grounds becoming smaller in view as you hang about on the Kite Pokmon.

Wheee- you're now flying under a Mantine! What do?
  1. Tell Mantine to get down!
  2. Let go of the fishing rod!
  3. Keep on hanging onto it! Maybe it will lead you to somewhere.
  4. Alternatively, eat your leftovers Casteliacone!

Maybe it's a peculiarity of this continuity?
1)Still, I'd gently ask them to lower the altitude...
They might get us elsewhere anyway, and if not we might find out about

3. Might as well enjoy the ride and see where it takes us!
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

Ooh, we can kick the bucket in mid-air? Tempting! However, I'm genuinely curious to know where we'll end up. This Mantine was brought to us by our fishing rod of destiny, so the place we're heading to might hold a lot of significance. :o

#3!

From the choices selected, it appears that more people has chosen to not let go of the fishing rod. Such loyalty...

Chapter 19: Dangling About...

Location: Shanama Town -> Volmia City Ruins
You find yourself ascending even higher, up until where the clouds begin to enshroud the snowy surface of the upper world you traipsed upon. Not wishing to let go of the grip, you let yourself carried away by the Mantine. Everything looks so tiny from up here, and Mantine shows no sign of stopping either. Uncertainty fills you with anxiety, you're not sure where you're heading at as you just keep on getting more lost than before.

Eventually, Mantine slows down in speed and altitudes itself lower, toward another series of floating islands that must've elevated themselves by an unknown force. That's reassuring for being able to touch the ground again, after gathering too much sweat in both palms and feeling weak in spines, but where on earth are you now? Your first thought comes as Mantine lets the hook off its mouth before flying somewhere else, taking your steps forward to discern your new surroundings.

In front of you, is a blue-hued road of glass cracked like a fissure, decorated with paper wastes, leading to a selective set of dilapidated concrete structures with flickering neon lights. Most of them were quite mossy and serene, if not for the cheery chirping coming from a flock of Starly perching above the electrical poles. Onward, is a wide circular park with a statue depicting a Sandshrew in the middle of a dry fountain. Wiping off the dust, an unknown but familiar name reads out from the carved plaque just before it.

Looking around, it's not like you're not welcome to linger about, but this Pokmon-infested place seems unfitting for a night, nor there is a place of interest as you've never been here before. Still, the question remains, what should you do?
  1. Investigate this place. There might be clues of...something.
  2. Return to where you should be. This place is boring.
  3. Eat the Casteliacone and do acrobatic moves.

1. Well, it's the only reasonable choice... it's not like we can get down this floating island
anyway, right?

I vote #4: Kneel in front of the statue and worship Sandshrew.

...no? Alright, #1 then.

And thus, a majority has reached even though there's still time. But it's mostly because I have the time to do it, so...
This calls for another proceeding.

Still, the question remains, what should you do?
  1. Investigate this place. There might be clues of...something. - 7 Votes
  2. Return to where you should be. This place is boring. (Well... that's true that we can't go back, lmao.)
  3. Eat the Casteliacone and do acrobatic moves. (Nobody wants to kick the bucket, I see.)

Chapter 20: Pokmon Nest

Location: Volmia City Ruins
There might be something around here, you thought, deciding to indulge your curiosity around these ruins. There isn't much to stand on the spot you are currently at, therefore you move to the west, heading to a district that seems to be packed with... things that are just bizarre.

Large, oddly spherical vehicles scattered across the glass road, hovering still. Tree roots jutting outward from the windows, extending to the grassy sidewalks. A heap of stacked junks stood tall in the center of the crossroad. As far as the eye can see, there are no other human other than wild Pokmon roam free in the ruins without worry, and many Parasect picking up man-made litters as if they're cleaning the place.

When you approach the area, they don't seem to be alerted by your appearance. Rather, they even wave you a sincere gesture of greeting which you respond by spontaneously mirroring the act. You have no idea what they are saying, nor do you think there might be a way to interact with them, though it's apparent that they aren't as bad as you thought. Feeling relieved, you try to inspect one of the several places of this deserted city.

What should you do?
  1. Visit the Department Store for freebies! It's not stealing if they leave it there, right?
  2. Inspect one of the tall buildings. There might be something in there.
  3. Take a ride through the Caterpie Terminal. It would be a quick way to move from places to places.
  4. Search the heap of junk and trash. There might be something in there.
  5. Try to catch one of the Parasect. Maybe they won't notice, or perhaps would be glad to.

This is a really tough choice! I'm curious about all these places.

But I can't pass up the chance for a new teammate! 5. Go, Pok Ball!

1) We need food(aside the cone)...
and water... and soap... and somewhere to sleep...(maybe there's furniture or camping gear there?)
and a few extra medical supplies would also do just in case anything onix-pected were to happen...
By the way, I know this is sudden and unrelated but...
are we going to hug any legendary pokmon?
Is Cuddles not enough to you?

Oops, I missed a chapter noooooo... D:

Anyway, I think the store should be worth checking out, considering there's probably no one else around to take care of it. As long as a Kecleon isn't guarding that shop, we should be fine! #1

Still though, that Sandshrew statue is single-handedly the most suspicious thing here. If anything, we need to be inspecting that!
