The area is heavily forested and Pokémon wander around as far as the eye can see. The other regions have sunken to the bottom of the ocean and everyone- Pokémon and humans alike- have migrated to Piazo to make it their home.
Nobody is quite sure how the other regions mysteriously vanished. Join us on our journey to solve the perplexing mystery while you enjoy your stay on the island of Piazo.
It's scorching out.
Perfect weather to go to the beach and get some sun! The temperature is in the high nineties on most of the island and the humidity is quite high at almost fifty percent.
Get some sunscreen, there's a good chance you might get burned.

Blake was not the type of man to waste his time. That's why, as soon as he reached Cuckoo Town, he walked straight up to the gym to complete the challenge. He was not yet sure if he wanted to visit the aviary, but for now, he wanted to do everything he had to in order to be able to leave as soon as he was ready.
Right now, he was ready for more battles. Gagner was already at his side, as this was a flying-type gym and there was no reason to ignore his massive advantage. He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.
Strolling inside with his ego showing in every step he took, he declared: "I'm here to challenge the gym. And I'd like to make it as quick and painless for you all as possible."

"O-oh, you're here to challenge the gym leader, are you? You'll have to win against me first, I'm afraid. I can't let you through until you do!" A birdkeeper in training, Caitlin drops her capsule on the ground by mistake, releasing her Pidove, tweets. It coos a few times before fluttering around a bit, trying to impress the newcomer with its exceptional flight navigation skills. "Okay Tweets, show this man what you got!"

Blake refrained from laughing as a young girl approached him to battle. He had to beat her to get to the gym leader? Well, that wouldn't be a problem at all. She hardly seemed to be a competent trainer, and her bird looked to naive to function. This would be as easy a victory as all the others had been on his journey. So far, only his rival had proven any threat.

The bird went down in two shots, which was one shot more than Blake had expected. When Gagner looked to him expecting praise, Blake simply narrowed his eyes, giving the pikachu the message that he needed to step up to make the cut and meet expectations. Gagner's ears drooped a bit, but he nodded his understanding and turned back to the battle field.
"If the petty interns are finished," Blake began, calling out. "I'd like to challenge the leader now."

"O-oh no, Tweets..." Caitlin said, fumbling to return the Pidove. She clutched the pokeball, feeling absolutely humiliated. And she'd let Benjamin down. "I'm so sorry, Benjamin..."
From behind, the very man spoke up. "It's alright, Caitlin. You tried, and that's what matters. I can take it from here," said the man with a smile.
Caitlin sniffled and hurried off, face beet red.
Benjamin looked at Blake, sizing him up. He'd beaten Caitlin easily. Not that that was terribly hard. "Welcome, Trainer, to the Cuckoo Town Gym! I'm Benjamin, the leader here, master of Flying types! I hope you're prepared for a match. I'll show you a real battle!" Pokeball in hand, Benjamin threw it and shouted, "Go, Orville!"

"A real battle, eh?" Blake repeated with a hint of a smile. "Somehow I doubt that, but I'll humor you by wishing you the best of luck. Though I have a feeling you'll need a tad more than luck to save your precious pokemon."
Gagner looked at Blake, his entire body tense and ready to fight. All he needed was a command.
"Gagner, use thundershock. That should be enough."

"As expected, you are clearly no match for me," said Blake with a chuckle. Perhaps he did not take pokemon battles very seriously, but when everyone else did, it was still somewhat enjoyable to crush competition.
"A rufflet has a higher special defense so this may take more than one attack, Gagner. Perhaps it will be two thunder shocks this time. Get to it, then!"

Benjamin returned Wilbur and gave a half bow. "Well, I admit defeat. You are indeed a skilled trainer. So, as is my Pokemon League given duty, I confer upon you the Plume Badge. And here, take these as well. You've certainly earned them!" said Benjamin with a halfhearted chuckle as he handed Blake the remainder of his winnings. It seemed as if he still had more training to do, but a loss was a loss.
"The next gym is in Yarn town. Good luck on your journey!"

Blake recalled Gagner as soon as the battle was won and approached the gym leader to collect his winnings. As he did, the flying trainer praised Blake's skill, to which Blake replied with a smile.
"I'm more of a hobbyist than a trainer, actually," he said. It was true, somewhat: one could not really consider themselves a serious trainer if pokemon battles were little more than something one did on the side, or out of necessity. Perhaps hobbyist was not the right word, but he wasn't going to out himself as a professional criminal right here.
"Keep your luck, sir, you'll need it. I'll be off now." That said, Blake tucked his prizes away and walked out of the gym, hoping something more interesting would come his way than a child's adventure.
