Shalin and Agate had reached the explorer's home away from Johto. Nestled in the southern foothills of the Rainbow Ridge was a hollowed-out tree, grown into a steep, rocky cliff that extended along the east and west as far as the eye could see...at least from their position beneath the canopy. Shalin recalled Serena, the Persian she rode through the forest on, before approaching a standard-sized screen door that covered the ground-level entrance.
"We're here," she said to Agate as she opened the creaky-sounding door. On the inside of the giant, hollowed tree was a primitive living space - a small table and wooden chairs in one corner, a hammock in another corner, and a couple of screen-covered holes that served as windows. Their angle would keep rain out in all but the windiest of conditions (unlikely, given how much cover there was nearby), and the screen in front would keep pests like Wurmple out. In a third corner was a simple wooden bookcase with multicolored puzzle cube, commonly sold in stores throughout Arciel; it was solved with the green side facing up. On the next shelf down was a gold-plated Kantonian Meowth replica, several smaller ones surrounding it.
In the final corner was a tall ladder, several stories high, leading upstairs. "Ready to see...my sanctuary? My place?" she waved Agate on. At the top of the ladder was a second screen door, above it message that was a bit hard to read, given how hastily it had been scratched into the wood. The message read "Shalin's Romping Grounds, claimed May 11, 2020." Once they were both up the ladder to the upper level of the tree, Shalin swung the door open, revealing a plateau with a small, circular lake in its center. There appeared to be several water-type Pokémon at play just off the shore, including a Floatzel, Tentacruel, Lapras, and Milotic. On the exterior side of the upper entrance hung several sets of riding gear for Pokémon of a variety of sizes. Near that entrance stood a Scolipede and a Tyrantrum, the latter of which wore a saddle that camouflaged with his scales.
"Agate, welcome to my Romping Grounds."
