Wander Over Yonder - {Journey} Shalin and Adelaide Gladstone begin their long trek across fields, hills, woods, and mountains to Ash City. She came across a rock-star Trainer whose Elekid rocked out a bit too hard for Flit to handle. She then came across a flower girl with a Salandit that cooked Caprice in holy dragonfire. After avoiding wild Pokémon the rest of the way, Shalin found there was no rural Pokémon Center outside the forest. She made camp for the night, ultimately deciding her two fallen Pokémon had a better chance to recover if she pressed on the next morning. She learned a valuable lesson that day: Never travel anywhere unknown without several Revive on hand!Wander This Maze's Walls All You Please - {Event} - You Cannot Navigate It With Ease! Shalin and
Greer Genji enter a shifting maze in an abandoned mansion in the southwest corner of Birch City. Prance was just barely too tall for the maze's height restriction, so she decided to enter with Caprice. They managed to navigate a Pumpkaboo jungle gym, nearly get booed off the Lycanroc's stage, and navigate an invisible walkway before being presented with the challenge to create a homebrew...well, brew. She was able to work with Greer in creating a delectable soup before being stumped by a switch-pushing puzzle. Still, five rooms isn't bad!
A View of Tomorrow's Possibilities - {Discovery} - Having blazed a trail across Route 1 at...well, blazing, speed the last time, Shalin decided it would be better to take the scenic route back, especially with all the unusual wild Pokémon she had found during her last trip. She met
Marley Hyde there. They had come across a morbidly obese scuba diver with a massive Tentacool. Both seemed to not care one bit about the environment. Following her, the two were able to catch her in the midst of a smuggling operation, and started to do battle with her to being her to justice. Through the course of the battle, they had saved each others' lives once, though Shalin insisted Marley did the Pyroar's share of the work. Ultimately, they were able to save the Lapras and Tentacool the smuggler was targeting, the Tentacool forcing its way into Shalin's party and the Lapras joining Marley. The Rangers kindly gave the two a lift back to Birch, where they rested after a long day.
Bright Skies, Cool Air - {Journey} - Shalin and
Soph Abelen begin their trek through the south valley west of the mountain range, on their way to Pine Town. Though she had crossed it once already, she had previously traveled with Soph on a different road and wanted a familiar companion. She ran into several wild Pokémon she was not interested in before Soph offered her a lift aboard Mati, her Drampa. Not one to say no, she accepted. The Drampa had other ideas though, performing barrel rolls, dives, and loops to test their balance on the way to Pine Town. Hey, at least they beat an ice storm!
Royaume des Vers luisants - {Discovery} - Shalin and
Senara Spargo enter the Glowworm Caverns and are blown away at the mysterious moss that made them shed the same dim light upon contact. She came across a quartet of Nosepass circling an ancient inscription in the ground. Before she could get close enough to examine it, the ground gave way, Senara's Snorlax saving Shalin's life. While Shalin was passed out post adrenaline rush, Senara discovered a treasure box filled with a raggedy Clefairy doll and several scrapped Poké Balls. She alerted the sleeping girl to a swarm of Buizel, the girl thrilled to catch what she believed to be their Large alpha. Shalin called on Levy, her Milotic, to explore an underground river alongside Senara and her Mantine, Crepe. They discovered some inscriptions in Braille, Senara serving as a translator. Shalin speculated they could be related to Arciel's legendary Pokémon. The two hummed in harmony, their sounds draining pools of water deep in the caverns. The two headed down a giant water slide, repelling yet another Buizel and finding quite the treasure trove alongside a Wartortle and Absol.
Big Blue - {Quest} - Shalin and
Gabe Alim met at Birch's Kiddie Pool to certify that they could control their Milotic and Lapras as aquatic mounts in wilderness areas. Gabe passed with flying colors, putting on great displays of control even at Ice Shard speed. Shalin, on the other hand, just barely passed, weaving across all the lanes of the course wildly. Serpentine mounts were tough to control, she was finding...but very rewarding when she could!
Mail Run - {Job} - Shalin and
Silas Swift took on a delivery job to raise funding for different reasons, only to their dismay finding out that their route would be delivering exclusively to businesses in the heart of downtown Birch.
[Time Attack] Dream Chaser - {Training} - After some arduous journeying, Shalin felt she could not hold off on evolving Caprice any longer, as she felt restricted from using Prance for anything except travel. Plus, Caprice had nagged her about evolution the moment she bought the Stone from Birch's department store while she was downtown. She evolved Caprice into a giant, gorgeous-looking Ninetales and set up a three-lap relay with her, Prance, and Levy. Prance ran a solid lap with the exception of tripping over a guard rail on the course's final jump, stubbing her hoof and testing her rider's balance as she stumbled to the finish line. Caprice's turn was next, and she went all out, overwhelming Shalin with sharp maneuvers to the point where the rider had to lay down for a few minutes because of how much her legs were throbbing. After a bit of a rest, she dashed down the backstretch, letting her trainer see what Quick Attack looks like from a Pokémon's perspective. During her trip around the aquatic course with Levy, she discovered serpentine Pokémon twisted their bodies in spirals to make very tight turns, getting her wet. Not a good idea in the winter. Pushing through the very cold air drying her out, she finished the relay then immediately headed for the locker room to take a warm shower.
Primitive Jungle - {Journey} - Waving goodbye to Addy, Shalin and Caprice headed into the dark woods of the Weeping Forest alone. The girl wanted to spend as little time as possible in the forest, just getting to Ash City on the other side so she could restock her supplies. As it turned out, the Weeping Forest was very dangerous, a Sawk tearing two of her Pokémon apart in battle and necessitating a short stop to patch them up. A couple hours later, she ran into a captivating girl who specialized in Fairy-types and even had fae abilities herself. She compelled Shalin into a battle she had no hope of winning, downing Kiku and seriously injuring Vannifar before she was able to snap out of the trance. When she came to, her eardrums had both been injured by the trainer's Audino via its Hyper Voice attack. She was deafened and needed medical attention! She and Caprice stealthily avoided a Farfetch'd and ran into a giant Ninetales almost Caprice's size. In an effort to avoid a perilous duel, she immediately threw a Quick Ball at it, succeeding in her capture. The bewildered girl rode full speed to Ash City once she was clear of the forest, being admitted to immediate care to have her ears treated. The physician said the injury was reversible but it would be almost two weeks before she regained partial hearing, and a little over a month for a full recovery. Looks like she was going to be stuck there for a while.
Tides of Turbulence - {Journey} - Shalin, having helped bust a criminal, needed a break. The day was the warmest in the year left until Springtime. She was going to ride across the sea to Plum, but oncoming inclement weather had other plans for her. She was forced to board a ship full of what she felt were Trainers with tantrums. She did have one enjoyable battle with a young boy, as well as a less enjoyable one with a delinquent sailor. She made an unexpected Lapras catch as well, helping the crew disperse a school of them. It would also serve as a perfect mount for the trip back, even during the cold months!
Up, Up the Mountain Ahead - {Journey} - Shalin, having partially recovered from her hearing issues, began her trip up Route 8 toward the volcano looming in the distance. The longer she traveled, the more she realized her hearing was still impaired--and how much more reliant she would be on her Pokémon to keep her out of danger. During her trip up the mountain, she ran into a rarity she had never heard of before - a Kangaskhan that was male and had no pouch. She captured it and sent it back to Professor Elm's lab for further study. She also captured a Larvesta named Sol, promising to it that it would be in her rotation. Reaching the caves of Mount Grumble shortly after sunset, she made camp just outside, cuddling with her Ninetales through the night to keep warm.
The Bowels of Death Mountain - {Discovery} - Having reached the cave network leading to the inside of Mount Grumble, Shalin was ready to unearth secrets related to Arciel's fire-type Pokémon. Not too far into the tunnel, a loud explosion rocked her surroundings, Caprice leading the way cautiously deeper. She accompanied a Combusken and Larvesta on a trip through the mountain's interior, eventually discerning that the two were lost and wanted to get back to the outside world. After a trip through the volcano's breathtaking crater, she helped guide the two fire-types out of the volcano, discovering a cache of Fire Stone on the way out.
Pine Town's Expeditionary House - {Class Job} - Having completed her spelunking trip, Shalin started tracking down the legendary explorer Endre Arthmael, founder of the Arciel Explorer's League. Feeling she had enough experience poking her nose in wild territory, she sought to apply for membership in the League, which would grant her the ability to take on more dangerous expeditions. Ultimately, Endre recommended her for promotion.
Reunion Long Overdue - {Quest} - Shalin and
Senara Spargo , having rescued a Wartortle and an Absol from the depths of a cavern, sought to reunite the Pokémon with their Trainer, who was last seen in the Weeping Forest. The young girl expressed concerns over a girl possessing fae magic, but Senara wasn't so quick to believe her. A dome of shadow also devoid of sound engulfed them, which actually was the product of a Dusclops and two Zorua playing pranks on the two. Baby Girl, Senara's Sableye, saw through their ruse, the three stopping their tricks shortly afterward. Senara released the Absol, who bolted toward the cabin where its Trainer was. A young girl who only had use of one arm, she was overwhelmingly excited for the return of both of her Pokémon. She presented Shalin with a Fire-type Z-Crystal as a reward.
Aquatic Relay - {Training} - Shalin practiced aquatic racing with some of her new Pokémon: Vannifar, who she found very awkward to control, Classie, which she got quickly bored with aside from bursts of Ice Shard-powered speed, and Prower, who caused her to crash several times before she realized just how sensitive controlling him was.
What's Up, Doc? - {Journey} - Shalin, traveling southeast on Route 10, met up with a middle-aged trainer,
Atticus Evans , who apparently could not see very well, needing to use a Lycanroc and harness as a second set of eyes. The two rode her Skuntank, Kiku, halfway across the trail before he got ambushed by some wild Pokémon that made using him for travel inadvisable. Shalin was prepared to go the rest of the way on Serena, when the Persian got into an argument with Topaz, Atty's Lycanroc. After being chided by her trainer, Serena bucked furiously, Shalin having a great time at her expense before she flung the girl off with a strong thrust not even she could withstand.
Arciel's Estersand - {Journey} - Shalin traveled one of the most arid roads in Arciel, Route 11. On the way to Hickory Town, she got to see her newly-evolved Yanmega in action, humbling her with its powerful sonic attacks and making her question her choice of aerial mount. He did, however, come in very handy in repelling a large horde of Kricketune in front of the small town.
Experimenting With Shadows - {Journey} - Shalin, heading up Route 12, ran into
Rui Sasaki , an amateur photographer, who seemed impressed with how her Skuntank mount used Flamethrower to run fast. As their journey continued south and west, the traveler grew more impressed and more worried, particularly when she saw Shalin on her Yanmega, hovering just off the ground.
Starting a Journey - {Journey} - Shalin, on her way to Cherry Town, ran into
Azur Schild , who appeared to be a field nurse in great physical shape, and
Ettie Carnall , a different kind of Pokémon lover. Both seemed enthusiastic about the girl's talent for riding Pokémon, and Ettie in particular expressed interest in lessons. Those would have to wait, though - there was a nasty storm coming! The three hunkered down and rode the storm out before heading to the beaches near Cherry, Shalin showing off her wild riding skills with Levy.
Route 1's Wildest Ride - {Journey} - After returning from flight training with Flit, Shalin was ready to see what the curious, enormous insect was capable of. Roaring his wings, he dove into the river valley at the fastest speed the blonde had ridden any Pokémon at before.
Land of the Giants - {Journey} - Shalin had finally reached one of her prime destinations in Arciel - the Sequoia Forest, rumored to be home to enormous Pokémon even bigger than Caprice was for her species. She found quite a few oversize Pokémon, but was after one in particular: Beedrill. While it never did show up, she did get to bag some large bug Pokémon she had been looking for. She eventually found herself so deep in the woods that her natural compass failed her. She was lost. In the middle of the night, while desperately looking for the way out, she got turned around and ran into a Decidueye that towered above her fourfold. Figuring it knew more about the forest than she did, she curiously and desperately followed the giant Pokémon.
Frolicking Across the Waves - {Journey} - Ready to depart for the mainland with her new friends
Ettie Carnall and
Azur Schild , Shalin brought all four of her aquatic Pokémon mounts, giving the two a ride across the sea and a crash course in how to handle an aquatic mount.
Busy as a Beedrill - {Job} - Shalin and
Agate Valyn , in need of a quick cash infusion, decided to take on a rural mail route at the ranger outpost southeast of Ash City. This was the kind of work she could do - it certainly beat delivering mail downtown!
Broadening Horizon, Part: Whatever - {Journey} - Shalin and
Agate Valyn headed back across the Weeping Forest, showing off her new riding Beedrill to the fellow Explorer. They came across a group of trees that had been destroyed in an unusual way. At first it appeared to be twisted by psychic power, but there was no psychic residue on them - at least not that Agate's Pokémon could detect. She eventually showed him the way to her Secret Base, the Romping Grounds.
The Sacred Realm - {Discovery} - Deep in the Sequoia Forest, Shalin discovered the Golden Tree, one of Arciel's wonders, alongside with several of the forest's fabled giant Pokémon. A Galarian Rapidash four times as tall healed her weary body as well as her Pokémon. When the curious one stepped closer to the Golden Tree, she had tread upon holy ground, breaching a seal that kept an Ultra Wormhole closed. Dozens of Ultra Beasts poured out, ready to wreak havoc on the region. Worried for the safety of Arciel, Shalin wanted to leave the forest as soon as possible to alert the Rangers and police of this new threat. A Mega-Evolved Beedrill gave her a ride out of the forest, buzzing south so fast that she lost almost all feeling in her body. It dropped her off outside Maple City, the dizzy girl determined to spread the word as soon as her overwhelmed senses would let her.
Zuka Zama! - {Discovery} - Shalin, eager to explore the world beneath Arciel's waves, bumped into a ship carrying
Nikolai Laska and
Orion Alim-Verdi toward a self-guided scuba-diving tour. While not officially part of the tour, she certainly wouldn't mind their company as she did her own exploration!
Red Alert! - {Social} - After spreading the word in Maple Town, Shalin decided it was necessary to continue alerting nearby towns, Ash City being the largest on the east side and the place she could reach the most people. After pushing herself and Flit to the brink of exhaustion, she ran into
Elizabeth Waters outside the Ash City Ranger HQ, who helped her get back to health and listened to her story about how she released the Ultra Beasts.
Romp at the Plateau - {Social} - Shalin showed
Agate Valyn to her Secret Base, which led to a plateau secluded between the Rainbow Ridge's foothills and the tall trees of the Weeping Forest. After a hard journey through the forest, the two would relax with a good, old-fashioned romp, joyriding with their Pokémon all over the plateau's grounds.
Beginning Once More - {Journey} - Shalin, heading up Route 1, seemed to both impress and terrify poor
Alicia Westfield with her giant bug Pokémon. Eventually coaxing the newer trainer to fly alongside her, the two met several Pokémon on the way to Cedar Town.
Like Moths to the Flame - {Quest} - Shalin took the newly-evolved Sol to the practice flight course late in the day, eventually having to fly by the Volcarona's own light. Good thing the floor was covered in foam blocks - she would have suffered some serious shoulder injuries otherwise!
Two Types of Crazy - {Journey} - Shalin continued to travel northward alongside
Alicia Westfield toward Bass City via Route 2, swapping out some of her Pokémon for ones that would be more travel friendly for less experienced riders.
Mina Wade and her Abra, Artemis, caused a mess by splashing water all over her flying Volcarona, Sol, who almost cooked Shalin while trying to dry himself off!
Heading North - {Journey} - Shalin met back up with
Marley Hyde on the path up to the volcano, giving the traveling trainer a ride on her Beedrill. It would be a flight he would not soon forget!
The Silent, Unknown Abyss - {Discovery} - Shalin decided to travel to Ivy Town not by way of ferry, but by traveling aboard a diving Pokémon. beneath the waves. There had to be secrets unseen by anyone in Arciel down there, and she was going to find them!
