Apollo sighs and groans as she stands under the canopy of a large tree located in the middle of a clearing in the Boreal Forestlands as the snowstorm that had finally subsided turned into another more calm and steady downpour.
Apollo's ears twitched as the sound of the rain hitting the leaves above her head seemed to fill the now quiet forest with something more...relaxing in it's own way. “First snow, now rain. It's going to be so cold tonight I just know it.” Apollo says to herself as she looks up at the sky, not seeing much due to the massive coverage the multiple trees in the forestlands provided. She blinks and shakes her head as a drop of rain lands on her nose. “Well, I can’t go back now. I have to press forward and make sure I don't get lost.” She says to herself, nodding determinedly, despite having no idea where she’s going.
Apollo carefully makes her way through the forestlands, tail swaying gently as she takes everything in, stopping every now and then as she tries to

The further Noelle and Muffin got into the cave the fewer scratch marks they saw on the walls except for one single long scratch on the wall at the entrance of a tunnel.
“Hmm, I think maybe we’re getting close. Do you smell anything Muffin?” Noelle asks as she looks around, trying to find any traces of what could be trapped inside.
Muffin sniffed the air and walked around the area a few times before making their way down the tunnel and into a wider cavern where the silhouette of something was huddled in a corner.
“Wait, stop! I can kind of see something.” Noelle says, climbing off of Muffin’s back. “You stay right here until I come get you, okay?” She says, gently patting Muffin’s head before slowly and carefully making her way over to the large shadow.
Hearing something approaching, the monster slowly lifted its head then looked in the direction of the sound, seeing what looked to be a small creature approaching and stared at it once it suddenly stopped moving, before
As they step into the cave, Noelle gently pulls back on Muffin’s reins, gently petting their neck. “We’re here.” She says, slipping off their back and looking around, her tail lightly swishing behind her as she began to make her way through. “Hmm, now how are we going to find this monster?” She asks herself, humming softly as she takes out her book and opens it, looking it over.
Muffin spread their arms, stretching them out in their harness before sniffing the air to try and catch the scent from before, only to find a completely different one which led them towards a wall a few feet away. Tilting their head curiously, Muffin pushed their head against the wall, sniffing whatever it was before making a noise to alert Noelle.
Noelle jumped and looked around, she hadn’t noticed that Muffin wandered off until she heard the noise. “Hey what’s wrong? Did you find something?” She asks, quickly running over and patting Muffin’s neck gently.
Muffin huffed at Noelle then turned towards the

“Let’s see, I think I have everything.” Noelle says, looking through her backpack, tail swaying back and forth. “Map, book, food, herbs, bombs…” She says to herself double checking before nodding firmly. “Yup, I definitely have everything.” She reassures, nodding firmly to herself as she makes her way out of her house and towards the nearby cave. “Muffin! Muffin are you awake?!” She called, carefully stepping into the cave.
Muffin lifts its head, and sniffs the air, tail wiggling behind them as they follow the scent of lavender towards their rider, stopping in front of her and lowering its head and sniffing Noelle’s paw before pushing its head into it.
Noelle smiled softly and put the lavender in her bag before taking out a snack and holding it out in front of Muffin as she patted their head. “Hey there girl, you ready to go on an adventure?” She asks curiously, carefully moving around it while keeping her paw on its sides, digging into her bag and placing a blanket over her then

Wanderheart makes her way into the crafter's circle, humming softly as her tail swayed. It was time to see if someone could help her with her crafter tryouts. She was a bit excited and a bit worried, since the Eastern Front battle was still raging. It made her wonder how everybody who left was doing and if they'd return alright. However, she couldn't think about that now! She had some tryouts to conquer!
"This one has come to try out for the crafters! Is anyone available?! This one is hoping that maybe someone could take her to the Eye of Heaven?!" She called, looking around, kind of hoping someone heard her but also hoping that she wasn't disturbing anybody who could be working right now.
Hopflight was taking a break for lunch, eating some half-cooked meat at the corner of the Commons near the circle. At the voice, he turned to see Wanderheart calling for aid. He felt a faint prickle of sympathy for the newcomers. So few were available to help them now that most cats were at the

Adonis and Ebony stand in an alleyway, gazing out at the multiple row of houses on the block, keeping their eyes peeled and staying alert for any signs of the Admirals.
“When we go up to the houses, what do we tell them?” Ebony asks curiously as she takes in her surroundings. “Do we just tell them we’re interviewers or just tell them the truth?”
“I’m sure they already know we’re here so it’d be better to just tell them the truth. Remember, if you notice any of the Pokemon we talk to getting agitated even a little bit, we leave them alone and move on.” Adonis says, making his way over to the house across the street from them.
Sitting on his haunches, Adonis knocked on the door with his paws and sat on his haunches until a Mienshao opened the door.
“Hello there, may I help you?” The Mienshao asks, looking between the pair curiously as she places her paws in front of her.
“Hello!” Ebony greeted, spinning around. “My partner and I are here on investigation and was wondering if you

[Harvest Lunatone] Abigail Clyne
A young woman with pink skin, long, fluffy, wavy, lavender colored hair, and a chubby body type sits in front of a mirror wearing a light pink, backless dress; large blue, solid eyes focused on the sculpted doll in her hands.
“Just a little longer and you’ll be finished.” Abigail says, adding the finishing touches of makeup and blush onto its body; the fluffy, white antennae with a grey tip and trapezoid pattern jutting from her head, wiggling slightly every now and then as her grey and white wings with matching patterns flutter behind her as she slips a small, pastel colored dress with polka dots onto the figure.
“Ta-da! She’s ready!” Abigail exclaimed, holding the doll up and out, letting the sun from the window hit it as she examined it closely for any flaws or mistakes. “What do you think, Pandora? Isn’t she cute?” She asks, showing the doll to the fidough that lay a few feet away from her.
Pandora opened one of her eyes and stared at the doll, then at Abigail, then at the doll
Maria ran around her room screaming, waving her arms excitedly as she squealed and stomped her feet.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! The Wayfarer leaders wants to come to a dungeon with me!” She squealed and fell back on her bed, rolling around and kicking her feet, before sitting up and taking a deep breath.
“Okay, I have to make a good impression. This is going to be a test I bet.” She says to herself, tapping her chin in thought as she stands up and paces around her room.
“I mean, it has to be right? This is my first dungeon trip so, I at least have to prove that I’m competent.” She nods firmly then beats her hand with her fist, making her way into the adjoining room and turning on the light.
The room itself looked like an office with a large map hanging on the wall over a large desk where papers and maps were placed. There was even a bookshelf in the corner.
“Okay so, let’s see.” She stares at the map on the wall in thought, focusing and talking to herself as she tries
