In his short time in Oreburgh City, Topaz has met Steven, explored a fantastic museum and- most importantly- met his new lifelong friend, Holyn the Cranidos. There is still much more to witness in this glorious city, as the day is not done. I envy their freedom as I can only watch from afar… although… hmmm. Dear reader, I must excuse myself early. I have preparations to make.

PoV: Topaz Heart

Date: January 16th, Year 8527

Location: Museum Donation Center

After the newly dubbed Holyn had gotten acquainted with Cynthia's team, we exited the atrium area to head towards the donation center. Along the way Cynthia and I discussed what exhibits had caught our fancy. She brandished a few pamphlets of interest while I wielded the bevy I had collected via my own time. There were a multitude of topics not exactly within my scope of interest, but they were worth following. And she could teach me something about all of them.

The Galar fossil revival effort was the cause that had garnered me the most interest. Julius promised to keep in touch on the development of Arctozolt and the other fossils and I had gotten their data. So far all the Galar pokemon I had seen had been nothing I ever would've thought possible. I had grown accustomed to most of the pokemon I knew from afar, but if I met them in real life, how would I feel?

Those were all questions for later as we found ourselves at the front of the line at the donation center. The clerk greeted us politely before asking for our contributions. I took out the vase I had found. Upon laying his eyes upon it, the clerk had a mild freakout before Cynthia managed to calm him down as he gushed about the significance of finding anything related to Arceus, and now they knew that Sunyshore is a point of interest as well.

After he dusted and analyzed the vase for a few minutes the clerk cleared his throat, wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it back to me. "I assume this is worthy compensation for donating this artwork to the museum."

I took up the paper and noted Cynthia frowning slightly.

Is he trying to jip me? Right in front of the champion?

"You spent all this time gushing over it to offer me this much? I might as well sell it at an auction house," I sighed dramatically, going all in with the swagger. "Or trade it in for a vending machine for my Secret Base."

Cynthia, meanwhile, raised an eyebrow at the clerk while Reginleif narrowed her eyes at him.

"Perhaps it wasn't clear initially; this is from the time of the first Pokedex's creation. Working at a museum, I'd expect you'd know its value more intimately. Unless, perhaps, you're attempting to take advantage of a budding archeologist's naivety?"

The clerk turned to her with a bored expression until he adjusted his glasses and panic began to creep onto his expression. Clearly, the gears had only now begun to turn. He swiftly took back the paper to edit the price he gave me. His hands visibly shook under Cynthia and Reginleif's gazes. "No no no, of course not, Miss Champion. M-my apologies, I-I had not recognized you i-immediately. A-allow me to rectify that m-mistake. I seem to have forgotten a zero, ha ha haaa..." We watched as he added an extra zero to the amount he offered me beforehand with shaky hands. "Is this more to your liking?"

Cynthia smiled lightly, confirming my own sentiments. "You've got a deal," I proclaimed, as we shook on it. After signing a few papers, the money was transferred to my savings account while I had a grin plastered on my face the whole time.

I'm surprised more trainers don't go mining. My bank account is singing.

Once Cynthia had handed in the scythe she had found earlier (with a notable sum, though probably more than what it was actually worth) we were on our way.

"Did you know the vase was worth that much?" I asked the champion.

She nodded. "Not exactly of course, but a rough approximation. I've spent a fair bit of time looking at priceless artifacts, so I've learned something of their value along the way." As we rounded a corner, out of sight of the clerk, she took out her phone and started typing away. "Of course I'm going to inform his supervisor that he probably shouldn't be the one giving compensation for ancient artifacts, but there's no need to cause a scene. They can handle this without me intervening."

"Ooooh, that's smart. Not all trainers are experts and prolly really need the money from what they find, but at the same time I guess the champion yelling at some clerk about it is overkill so you delegate the issue. Right? Volkner has gotten good at that over the years," I noted.

She smiled, ruffling my hair. "Right again. Sure, it'd look bad on the region and museum if I'm suddenly berating the staff. But more than that, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. Just someone better off handling something else. Not to mention I think he'd faint if I raised my voice at him."

"I think if Reginleif got any closer to him he'd have done a lot more than faint," I joked before turning to her. "Tell me you weren't tempted to roar in his face."

She rolled her eyes, snorting in mild amusement before shaking her head. Cynthia just smiled. "She's content. No real need to scare him out of his socks."

Holyn barked to catch my attention and began practicing his roars. Several people immediately gave us a wide berth before I patted him on the head, calming him down. "Okay, Holyn, let's not do that inside surrounded by people, alright?"

He cocked his head.

"No. Not outside surrounded by people either." I paused to think it over. "Unless they deserve it."

The little dino nodded in complete agreement as we continued on our way. After looking around a tad bit more, I realized there wasn't too much else I wanted to see today.

Cynthia put a hand on my shoulder, drawing my attention. "There's a trading area where you can exchange money, items, whatever someone would like for something they've got that you'd like. Now you've gotten a sudden influx of funds, maybe you'd like to use some of it while helping Holyn get accustomed to crowds? That can take a minute, and here's a pretty good place to start."

I looked to where she was gesturing to find mostly trainers in this section. They were trading various held items and evolutionary stones on various tables. For each transaction there was a clerk available to assist in case there was a disagreement. I even noted some exchange TMs amongst each other.

I put a hand on my chin and began to ponder. "With Donut and Lou, I've got weaknesses to ground, fire and rock. Adding in Holyn, I now have to worry about steel, fighting, grass and water. Considering everyone's movepools and to not overlap…" I turned to Holyn whose tongue was hanging out his mouth as he stared up at me with anticipation. "...an ice type move would be best for now. Counters Donut and Holyn's ground weakness as well as his grass. What do you think, Holyn? Want to learn an ice move?"

He barked the same happy bark as always. I had the feeling he'd be happy with anything I had to say, but sometimes you just need that unconditional positivity. Cynthia chuckled slightly. "And it'd be a great way for you to all get more used to each other." She gestured towards the entrance to the museum. "I've got some business of my own, so let me know whenever you're ready to see Oreburgh in all its glory."

I nodded earnestly. "We will! See ya guys later!"

Cynthia smiled softly while Reginleif grunted before they took their leave.

~x2x~

Once they had left, I called a quick team meeting. That required getting Holyn to sit still, Lou to stop glaring at passersby and waking Donut up. Once they were all lined up before me, I addressed them.

"Before we explore the city we have to get an ice type TM for Holyn so he can have coverage. Everyone understand? We need a light blue disc," I said as I took out a picture of one to show everyone so they could commit it to memory. "So keep on a lookout for one and we can leave quickly. Team meeting adjourned!"

Donut and Lou saluted in their own ways. Yawning and buzzing. Holyn was a bit confused, but once he got it, barked happily along. I scratched his chin before checking what moves he could learn in the Pokedex.

You wouldn't think so, but many rock type pokemon have deceptively large movepools for some reason and cranidos are one of them. They are absolutely a physical attacker first and foremost, but it'd be negligent to ignore their diverse special movepool.

After a bit of scanning I found he could learn Ice Beam and Blizzard. I considered both options and Holyn's current movepool before deciding Ice Beam would be the better choice as it's easier to control. I didn't want to stress him out by learning a high level ice move, when I could be focusing on teaching him rock moves.

After confirming my choice, we headed out to the trading center to begin looking for offers. I spoke with a clerk to let them know what I was looking for and what I was willing to offer. They input my data on a tablet before handing it to me.

"Use this tablet to organize trades with fellow trainers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask," The clerk smiled graciously.

"Will do, thanks."

I stepped away from the clerk to begin scrolling through my options. I had quite a few spheres I could stand to unload for something more worthwhile. I had yet to actually decide on a place to start my Secret Base, so most of the furniture that functioned inside them did not interest me yet.

I decided to just speak to a few trainers to get an idea of how this was all supposed to go, and even managed to trade a few spheres for rare berries and some potions. Otherwise, nothing too valuable.

After scrolling through my tablet a bit I got a ping notifying me someone was interested in my smooth rock. I turned around to come face to face with a younger man, though that wasn't what caught my attention.
He looked like the definition of shady.

He had piercing yellow eyes with black eyeliner around each, trailing between across his nose. The only things that broke through it were some scars scattered across his face. His hair was short and spiky, a paler deep blue with a few black streaks. A single backwards fin of hair stuck up amongst the rest, complimented by a grin not dissimilar to Jade's.

He had a large, navy blue reefer coat covered with pockets that his hands were currently plunged within. His shirt was a slightly lighter blue denim with yet more pockets. His pants were black with even more pockets, and black combat boots with what I can only imagine had hidden pockets too.

A large (well, not as big as him, but bigger than me) Toxicroak stood right next to him, their throat sac slightly bulging and flattening with each breath, a single notable scar becoming much more prominent whenever they breathed in. Add that to the other scars scattered across their body, and they looked like they'd been through it. They looked pretty badass in my opinion, but most people seemed to give the duo a noticeable girth.

"Uh… you pinged me?" I asked slowly. My team's demeanor hadn't changed all too much at their approach, so I wasn't too guarded, but the shadiness of this guy was off putting.

He nodded, his smirk widening as he pulled a hand out of his pocket and held it out to me. Past the leather gloves, I noticed he seemed to have two tattooed black rings on his wrist. "Lyle. Alkali. Pleasure's ours." Alkali gave an affirming croak.

"Topaz…" I stared at his hand a moment before giving a quick shake. His grip was a lot firmer than I had expected, but nothing untoward occurred. Afterwards I gestured to my team. "Donut, Lou and Holyn. Nice to meet you both…"

He gazed across them all before nodding approvingly. "Nice crew you've got. Good on you, kid." His gaze turned back to me. "Now then, you've come to peruse my wares and make a trade?"

Although Lyle screamed sketchy, if anything bad did happen Cynthia, Roark and even Steven were just a few steps away. Without missing a beat I calmed myself down and pulled out a smooth rock, which ironically enough was anything but smooth as it had several yellow crystals protruding from its tan-brown center.

"I'm looking for an Ice Beam TM for Holyn. Whether it's reusable or not doesn't matter to me." Fiddling with a one use TM could be fun, anyway. I checked his trade data and saw he had quite a lot of stuff, but one in particular stuck out. "It says you also have a Hard Stone. I'd like to trade that for some thunderstones."

Lyle let out a slightly affronted huff. "Like I'd carry single use TMs around." He looked me over again before smiling, grabbing one of the edges of his coat before opening it with a flourish. Inside were way too many pockets, all of them marked. Out of all of them, the only ones I really cared about were the ones that read 'held stones' and 'TMs'. "I've got whatcha need and more."

"You're well-stocked, but I don't need much else right now. Just the TM and stone, please." His wares were enticing, but I wanted to get back to Cynthia.

He nodded, deftly pulling out a couple capsules from the marked pockets and holding them between his fingers. "I've got loads of TMs. New ones, old ones, ones that look a bit like a record you'd put on a turntable, whatever you'd like. A couple lightly banged up ones if you wanna tinker with 'em…" He stopped mid sentence and began staring at me with a raised eyebrow. "You wouldn't happen to be from Sunyshore, would ya? You're nigh on a mini Volkner. Cousin or somethin'?"

I arced both my eyebrows. "Nephew. You know him?"

His smile broadened. "I've met the guy, 'course I know 'im. Great dude, if you can get him to give a damn about you. Or get his nose out of his latest project. Clearly he's been rubbin' off on you. Got the same cheekbones and everythin'."

My opinion of Lyle was raised a few points thanks to that remark. Keeping my neutral expression grew harder as I felt a shy smile creep up. "One time I styled my hair like his and wore his outfit, and my grandma said she couldn't tell the difference between us!" I boasted.

He chuckled, not unlike how a Croagunk might. "The faint smell of ozone only adds to it. I can see why she couldn't, even without his iconic blue jacket on ya."

My smile grew even wider and I couldn't even hide it. "He's basically my older brother who raised me, so of course we look alike. I'm also his protege, so I've got an image to uphold," I informed him, nodding multiple times.

Lyle had started spinning the capsules between his fingers idly while we were talking, rolling them over his knuckles like a single handed juggling act. It was like it was nothing special for him. "Well, I can't keep you here forever then can I? A Hard Stone's easy, what kinda TM do you want?"

We ended up exchanging the smooth rock and a thunderstone for a mostly unused Ice Beam TM and hard rock. Satisfied, I pocketed them both for later use.

"A pleasure doing business with you Lyle," I commended.

He closed his coat with a flap, holding a bit of it in front of his face like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Lunala. "My job here is done, mini Volkner!" Alkali rolled his eyes and shook his head, chuckling to himself before Holyn and I followed suit. After we were done laughing, he gave me a curious look. "Do you work around the gym much? Or flowers, by any chance?"

"The gym yes, flowers no. Why?"

"Figured you might know Vika or Garland, and be able to give 'em a hello next time you see 'em. We don't see each other as much anymore, but we're close as anythin'."

I nodded affirmingly. "I do know them, yeah. I can tell them you said hello!"

"Appreciated," he said with a smirk. "You should probably get on your way now, showing your new buddy the wonders of TV and the TM you're gonna shove in it."

"Will do!"

"Raor!" Holyn followed up.

~x3x~

Location: Oreburgh City

After calling Cynthia to tell her we were all finished, she told us to meet her by an ornate statue of a rampardos and bastiodon ramming into each other in a nearby park. While I was waiting, I sat on the bench outfitting the Hard Stone onto a sort of collar for Holyn to wear once he actually learned rock moves. Akin to what Donut wore for his eviolite. Holyn himself was ogling the statue. Donut and Lou were watching him closely making sure he didn't try to break anything.

A couple minutes later, Cynthia and Reginleif strolled on in, ice cream in hand and claw. Where they got it? Something she'd be more than happy to tell me in extensive detail, if I knew her at all. "Hey Topaz, Donut, Lou, Holyn! Enjoy your look around the trading area?"

"Yup!" I said before finishing up the collar. "Did a few trades and I met this guy named Lyle who was a bit sketchy, but turned out to be pretty cool. Knew my uncle and stuff."

Her smile warmed. "He's a wonderful person. Naturally shady unfortunately, but he rolls with it as best he can. He's taken to being a 'black market' merchant. Really he just likes the aesthetic of traveling merchants in plenty of games and decided to emulate it."

"He definitely aced the role. I got the TM and I got the perfect gift for Holyn's training." I showcased the Hard Stone embedded in a collar before placing it around Holyn's neck. He put up no fuss as I replaced the ribbon, but I put in my bag in case he wanted it later. "That aside, I'm looking forward to seeing that Galar pokemon you talked about! Can we see them now?"

Cynthia's knowing smile from before came right back. "Of course we can. I think you'll be quite surprised about what they're like, given your fascination with the Pokedex."

"Yes!" I jumped for joy before packing away my stuff and standing at attention. My team scrambled behind me, ready to move. "We're all set! Lead the way… or are we flying?"

She shook her head. "It's a fairly short walk. And besides, you'll get to appreciate Oreburgh even more now."

We thus began our walk through the city. It was relatively short, as apparently where we needed to go was the Oreburgh Quarry where all the conveyor belts and giant mounds of coal were located. It wasn't too far from the museum fortunately, so it didn't take too long before I could spot the quarry itself.

The system was far more complex than I had expected. The conveyor belts moved seamlessly all over the quarry with everything the miners had found in the Underground. Machop, Croagunk, Geodude and more were assisting miners moving large crates and manning the machinery. Heracross were helping move huge piles of rock, and there were several Meditite and Medicham helping sort through everything.

Holyn ran ahead of us, looking around with a gleeful puppy. At one point he tried to step onto one of the conveyor belts, but a kind Gigalith quickly nudged him away so I could attend to him. After a bit more walking, Cynthia and Reginleif stopped in their tracks and began eyeing the area.

"Is this where you usually find them? The Galar pokemon?" I asked.

She gave me a similar grin as to when she asked me about the scythe earlier. "Holyn gave you a hint. Look a bit more carefully at what, or rather, who, comes out of the mines."

Holyn, looking incredibly proud, traipsed right back over to the conveyor belts and pointed to where he was sniffing before. I followed suit and waited for whatever interested him. Some spheres and coal rolled up a bit until one of the coals began to glow. Holyn jumped excitedly at the sight while the glowing coal popped out of the coal mound, rolling off the conveyor belt.

We turned around as they shook off the extra coal bits sticking onto them. They were small, around the size of a roggenrola. Rather than legs, they moved around on a singular wheel and had a molten eye.

"They look like a unicycle," I whispered. Holyn immediately knelt down to sniff the new pokemon as they rolled around him with interest. I took out my Pokedex to scan them, but no immediate data came up. "So this is the pokemon… fascinating… what are they called?"

"Rolycoly," Cynthia said proudly, "And their Sinnoh line was part of the inspiration for the railway system."

"So they're like the train pokemon?" I knelt down to watch Holyn try to sniff the Rolycoly as they kept rolling away from him. "A coal block on wheels, huh. Somehow that makes more sense than a floating rock with arms."

She gestured towards an iron, rectangular bucket with smoldering coals beneath it. "They're often brought up alongside ore, so there're plenty of people looking out and making sure they don't get mistaken for it. They're put in those carts and given all the time they need to rest and get their bearings before trundling back home."

Reginleif in the meantime had found herself with a few inquisitively rolling up to her, making little grinding, burning noises while she responded with low growls.

"They do seem quite friendly," I noted as one of them let me pet them before rolling off. Donut had somehow found himself riding on top of one, while Lou was lecturing a few others.

"They're quite used to the mining and people in general. Sometimes they need to be put on their own separate conveyors, just because they enjoy training their endurance on them and that can get in the way of ores," she said, watching a few of them do just that off to the side.

We watched them roll around for a bit without a care in the world. They were cute little rock types and my team seemed to enjoy their company.

"I really like these little guys, but there's still more we've gotta see right?" I asked Cynthia.

She shrugged, giving me a leisurely smile. "Sure, but this is an adventure at your own pace. We don't have to leave unless you're ready to go."

I stifled a yawn before replying. "I'm actually getting a bit tired after waking up so early and being out all day, but I'm awake enough to enjoy the rest of the city. This has been nice, but now that I know what's here I can always come back!"

She nodded, turning and gesturing for me to follow. "Then it's time for you to see the rest of the city at sundown, and a little bit during the night before we get you to bed."

"You say that like you're not going to go to sleep," I playfully jabbed. "Going to enjoy the secret Oreburgh nightlife? No, more likely you're gonna look at the stuff we found today."

She chuckled. "Guilty as charged. I'll probably fall asleep with my face on a table, and Reginleif will need to wake me up. Again."

"Volkner is very familiar with that sleeping position. The workaholic life," I sighed. "Anywho, everyone ready?"

My team had finished playing with the Rolycoly. The Rolycoly bounced around happily before joining their friends on a conveyor belt while Holyn waved cheerfully. Once we were all set, we left the mines.

~x4x~

Even though we were out of the initial mining area, it was fascinating how the city seemed to almost direct your attention right back to it. There was a slight downwards slope towards it, present throughout much of the city. Conveyor belts ground on, carrying ores being jostled about by the vibrating. And yet, they were always kept enough out of the way to not impede anything else.

A lot of the city was residential, with areas here and there with what you'd expect. Places for food, books, the like. There were loads of family run businesses too. Info for fellow miners, rarer items for trainers to buy, there was a wellspring of diversity.

And it never ceased to surprise me just how different the sunsets were here than in Sunyshore. There, light would shine brightly, bouncing off the pristine buildings and solar walkways to illuminate everything in an orange glow. Here, that wasn't the case.

Flanked by mountains on either side, the tangerine sunbeams weren't nearly as plentiful. And yet here they illuminated some houses, cast shadows where a couple Stunky or Murkrow would make themselves known, and drew even more attention to the buildings carved into the sides of the mountains themselves. There wasn't anywhere near as much light here, but what there was brought out beauty in its own way.

The streets thinned out more and more as night began to fall, people filtering into their homes, hovels or hotels to rest for the day. Much like we were, as we approached the Obsidian Inn, the hotel Cynthia had gotten for us while we stayed in Oreburgh. It appeared to be an upper class hotel judging by the perfectly clipped shrubbery and ornate statues of various pokemon including Golem, Probopass and Gigalith.

Once we entered the lobby we saw a familiar face as Steven was sitting in the waiting area sipping a hot cup of tea. When he saw us approach he waved us over.

"Hello once again my friends. Did you have fun exploring the city, Topaz?" He asked.

I jumped at the chance to answer. "It was amazing! We met rolycoly, saw houses built into mountains and ate pancakes shaped like rock pokemon! What are you doing here?" I asked.

Steven finished his tea and placed it on the table. "Cynthia informed me she'd be dropping you off. I've come to meet up with her so we can continue our business and to pay you goodnight."

"I thought for sure you'd try and convince him to go to Hoenn first again," Cynthia joked with a smirk.

Steven smiled cheekily. "There will be several future opportunities for that. Plus I've got quite a bit to do before I return there myself, so why rush? Anyway, I will see you and your team tomorrow, Topaz."

Cynthia gave me and my team a hug and a smile. "Goodnight Topaz. Sleep well, you've had a long day."

Lou buzzed at the hug, but didn't squirm out like he usually did. Donut patted her back, while Holyn accepted it happily. "Goodnight Cynthia, Reginleif, Steven. You guys have fun doing uhhh champion stuff."

After we said our goodbyes my team and I made our way to the hotel room we had all to ourselves. It was decently sized, large enough for all four of us to walk around somewhat comfortably and more than good enough to sleep in. In the corner there were some pokemon beds large enough for all three of my team, so they could all sleep outside their pokeballs.

As soon as he made eye contact with the bed, Donut jumped out of my bag and straight into the bed, falling asleep nigh immediately. Lou was a bit more skeptic, crawling around the room looking for supposed traps or ambushes. Holyn's eyes darted straight towards the human bed with eyes that screamed 'jump on it', but I hastily distracted him with a treat.

"Distracting you with food is going to become a running theme isn't it?" I sighed jokingly as he munched on the rock candy, murmuring to himself without a care in the world.

After making sure everyone was settled in, I took a much needed shower after a long day's work. Once I exited the bathroom, I found Lou asleep using the portable generator to recharge simultaneously. Holyn, surprisingly, was still awake, but his face betrayed intense drowsiness as he laid in bed.

"Did you wait for me to finish showering before you slept?" I asked him as I knelt down to stroke the side of his face, around the dome and spikes. He leaned into my touch and muttered happily. "Good boy. You even got Lou to sleep first. He must trust you already."

Holyn hummed pleasantly as he began dozing off. My mind wandered off to my first nights with Donut and Lou causing me to remember a fun tidbit.

Both nights I showed them the The Fool card. Can't officially inaugurate him into the team without it.

"Hey Holyn, before you fall asleep I wanna show you a little secret. A team secret. Wanna see?" I asked eagerly. Holyn nodded groggily, but his red eyes glowed with curiosity. I scrambled towards my bag and found the deck, their enigmatic power permeating through the card holder. I laid them all out before Holyn, causing him to perk up.

"These cards represent my bonds with my friends. They just started appearing after I met Donut. I don't know exactly what they mean, but I'm hoping one day I'll find the reason why they keep appearing," I explained.

Holyn scanned the cards with eyes of interest before he leaned over and touched The Fool, causing it to surge with power. While I was a bit stunned, he barked fondly. The gesture brought a smile to my face.

"This card represents our team and our bond. The Fool is about learning and new possibilities," I said as I held up the card. "I'm gonna warn you, Holyn. My life is pretty confusing honestly and even I can't make sense of all the mysteries, but each one makes me want to see more of the world. There's a lot of catching up for you to do, but I'll be with you every step of the way. Alright?"

Holyn smiled cheerfully at my encouragement as I tucked him in. He was as different from Donut and Lou as could be, but his soft, playful nature was exceptionally endearing.

I collapsed on my own bed, the exhaustion immediately making itself known. My eyes grew heavy and my movements lethargic as I shifted under the covers, turning off the lights. As I laid my head on the feathery hotel pillow I could feel my mind ease out of consciousness. In the back of my head I swore I could hear a small voice, but it was fleeting at best. Too tired to question it, I closed my eyes and put my tired brain to rest.
