dragoonian: First things first, I need oc's for the gym leaders so send those in please. Second, Yo no tengo Pokémon.
Rex's P.O.V.
Initium.
"Ok, to get to the train, you have to go out of this building, head straight for 3 blocks, if you see the Pokémon center you gone too far. Anyways, turn right and go until you pass the bathysphere, then you take a left and just follow the street until you're at the gym. Inside is the elevator to the Ankarto Railway. Just show the conductor you badge case and he will know what to do from there." The professor told us.
"Thanks professor. We will be on our way now." Hanna said.
"Hey professor, why do they have trains between the gyms?" I asked
"It's simple. If you will look at your Ankarto Region Map, or ARM for short, you'll see why."
I looked at the map on my X-transceiver and saw that surrounding most of the cities was a huge natural barrier. For instance, around Initium, there was a huge pit in the earth caused by excessive mining, around Pagos was the giant glacier that everyone knew about, and Marino was surrounded by ocean but under the water was a huge trench which had the currents shown on the map, and they were 80 Knots or more.
"Ok. Just be careful, there has been talk of Team Ultim activity near the rails." The professor warned us.
"Thanks for the heads up professor. We'll be careful." Titus said.
When they get to the gym after 10 minutes of walking.
"Dang this gym is huge. It must be big enough to hold at least 5 wailords." Titus exclaimed.
"Well, it has to be big enough if it is going to hold the hub for the Ankarto Metro. Hi, I'm Tim Broome. This is my Pokemon partner Houndoom, but I nicknamed him Fang."
Tim was 17 and pretty tall at 6'2". He had dark blue eyes with the occasional hint of red, slightly tanned skin, and he was somewhat buff. He was wearing a white, black and red blazer jacket with a black collar and a black hood that was unzipped over a dark blue shirt with an eagle in the middle. Black cargo shorts going to the just below his knees, black and red running shoes. A silver chain with a small, circular silver disc and behind it was another, smaller one. A tight silver bracelet on his right wrist that has a line running down the center made of sapphire.
"Hey, I'm Rex, and this is Titus and Hanna. And we are actually looking for the gym challenge train. Do you know where it is?" I asked
"Ya, I need to know where everything is. I work here, and have ever since my parents and I moved here 3 years ago. I work here as a sort of security unit, keeping things under control until I've worked up enough money to go on my journey, I only need a few more months pay and then I might even see you out there." Tim informed us.
"Cool, well, I hope to see you out there and maybe we can battle someday." Titus challenged.
"Well challenge accepted. I'll be looking forward to it. Also, a bit of an FYI, on all of the trains, there is a battle car where anyone can battle anyone or thing. It's how people train there pokemon when they aren't in the wild or that sort of thing. And since you need really high level pokemon to go pretty much anywhere outside the cities on your own, the rails were built to connect everywhere." Tim responded.
"All aboard the train to Dushlan, final call." The Intercom stated.
"Well, that's us, see you later." Hanna said.
With that, we went, hopped on the train, and officially started our journey.
AN: I really need people to send in OC's for the Gym leaders. First of is for a Grass Type leader. Then I will request them as needed. No custom Pokemon so no Pokédex update. See you again next Monday.
