Here, you may post plots and character requests! Have fun duckies.

This route is famous for being the most travelled route in all of Astral. The tall trees create a rather wide path for trainers to follow and the tall grass seems to cut into the path at times. Sometimes even blocking the path all together. Small ponds and possibly caves can be found if explored further but beware, Pokemon can get rather territorial.

The first new place on your journey! It is a rather rustic town with few residents in it. It is a rather cozy town with very friendly towns people. The town is well kept and the assortment of gradens makes for a pretty view. Come here to battle the first gym leader, and receive your first badge, the simple badge! Be sure to visit the town's Park!

This route tends to test the integrity of partners. The small pathway is surrounded with rather large trees and the long grass is rather overgrown and reaches most peoples waists. It isn't recommended to be out after dark on the route since there are heavy thhunderstroms once the sun goes down. The trees offer no support as the sound of rain hitting the leaves is almost deafening. Be prepared to get wet and be sure to bring a tend with you!

Opaled village is a rather quiet place where mostly elderly trainers live. Even in times of joy the village has a sad feel to it as the Pokemon Graveyard is located in the small village. Even the wind whistling sounds like a sad refrain in the village. The infamous name changer also lives within the village, he is still willing to help trainers change the names of their pokemon.

This route is filled with small cliffs and if said to be the number one place in all of Astral to get injured. Please be careful not to fall off of the cliffs or trip on the rock assortments. There is very few patchy of long grass but pokemon tend to hide behind rocks.The move Rock Smash is required to pass this route as there are many rocks blocking the path to the next town.

Haunstead Town is said to be haunted but there is no proof to support this theory. Very few townsfolk have stayed because of a series of unfortunate incidences so don't expect too see anyone on the streets. The rundown houses are on a small hill, atop the hill is a giant manor where the gym is located; the only place where people reside.

This route use to be a forest but a long time ago but now the forest is slowly starting to die. So far only the first half of the route is dead and contains a giant swamp. Please be sure not to be caught in a falling dead tree as they do fall often and tend to block the path. The move Strength is required to reach the other half of this route. The other half of this route contains rather sickly looking trees. There are small bodies of water everywhere as in the near future the route will become a full swamp. Until then make use of the greenery while you can!

This large city is very over populated and is always busy-day or night. The store fronts never close and the department store towers over the city. Feel free to visit or maybe even join the Pokemon Musical! Also be sure to check out the brand new Pokemon Safari where you can catch exotic Pokemon for a small fee! If one thing is for certain, you won't get bored in this city anytime soon!

This dry route starts off rather normally but soon the tall grass withers and becomes a dull grey. It doesn't take long for there to be no grass at all but be sand. It isn't uncommon to see a sand twister whipping by, be sure not to be caught in one though! This sand dune paradise only lasts for a short time as the withered grass appears before rapidly becoming a small forest. It appears that the soil is ideal for growth near the end of the route and the tall trees appear to be ancient.

In this small town there is more tree than people. There is one rather large tree that the town was build around, which contains the gym. The town is known for the homes that are built at the tops of the trees. The town is still considered a forest before a town but the residents are more than proud that they live in a forest.

Although this route starts off rather wooded it thins out rather quickly exposing short trees that allow trainers to see the usually clear blue sky. Before the wooded maze starts to thin there is a rather thin tree blocking the path, the move Cut is required to continue onward. Pleas try not to make loud sounds as most Pokemon in this route travel is groups and the last thing anyone wants is to be chased by a groups of wild pokemon.

Come enjoy the sea breeze and the large ocean docks. World renowned restaurants are serving up gourmet food daily. Or, maybe, test your battle skills in the Pelipper Gym, and get your own Tsunami Badge! Be careful against Water Types! Be sure to be ready to cross the ocean to reach the next town. Good luck!

This oceanic route seems to go on forever. The waves are too strong to swim over so the Move Surf is required to cross the long distance. Although the waves are to strong to swim on they are rather calming and the fresh breeze is relaxing. If it wasn't for the constant attack of Pokemon and trainers one might actually crossing the ocean. Try to avoid the giant rocks bordering either side of your path.

After a long ocean ride the sight of land is more than welcome. It's clear waters make it a perfectplace for pokemon to gather and for trainers to congregate. Although seemingly normal the bay has a soft glow during the night, which is how it got it's name. It leads to the open ocean but there is no transportation system to get back to Pelliper Harbour so the move Surf is required.

This beautiful route runs from the bay, alongside the ocean tothe next town. The hot beach is a great spot to get a tan but the large groups of trainers can be a little annoying. The sun seems to intensify as you get closer to the big city coming up in view. Be sure to take your time on this route, the glistening waters mixed with the beach can prove to be a nice break from your journey.

The seemingly always bright, sunny city is filled with the newest gadgets and technological advances. It is known for creating a majority of the regions electricity with all of their solar energy they produce. The tall buildings can be intimidating but be sure to challenge the Gym leader to obtain the Mystic badge!

The dazzling sunshine quickly fades as you progress down this route. The wide path is bordered by two large cliffs resulting in only one straightforward path with no twists for turns. Although this route sounds simple enough it has a high tendency to have massive rain storms coming from no where. Have your umbrella handy!

This small town is built at the base of Mt. Mori. Although the town gets very few visitors it doesn't really contain much but advice on how to concur the impossibly large mountain that it was build at the base of. They do have a pawn shop where you can exchange items for random items but besides that there isn't anything of interest. Be sure to rest up your Pokemon before trying to hike up the mountain.

At the base of Mori Mountain it is rather wet to say the least. The once spontaneous rain is now always a constant drizzle. Since it is always so damp there are many many trees along the mountain that create a maze for trainers trying to pass. The trees are actually rather annoying since they house rather large Pokemon that don't hesitate to attack when disturbed. Watch out for angry Pokemon!

You are halfway up Mt. Mori! Don't be intimidated by the fact that the temperature is starting to drop drastically and that constant rain has turned into hail. The trees are farther apart which is impractical as the hail hits rather hard. Try and find the Frozen shack! It is sure to give you some shelter or possibly some items to find!

The top of Mt. Mori only throws more challenges your way as you climb up the impossibly tall mountain. Although it has stopped hailing it is always snowing. The mounds of snow are tedious to climb over to say the least. It is all worth while if you reach the peak of the Mountain as you can see the whole region from how high up you are. The fog on this route can be a little scary but be sure to rest up at some point to stay strong.

The small village is known mostly because of the fact the majority of the town rests on an iceberg that sits upon a frozen lake. It is usually snowing ever so slightly on top of this breath taking mountain but be sure to use the small bridges to cross the lake to the iceberg as the water is far too cold for pokemon. The real attraction is the gym that floats on a small offshoot of the main iceberg. One might even try to get to the bottom of the lake to see what rests there.

This Route runs along the backside of Mt.Mori and stops about halfway. like the way up this Route is rather cold but unlike the other routes the weather is generally clear. Most of the route is jumping off of small cliffs. Please avoid hitting one of the many trees as they are rather fragile since many of them are frozen solid and can shatter upon impact.

Exadrill City is on the smaller side as far as cities go. It is rather industrial and is known for their amazing structures as almost everything is made of granite. Be sure not to get lost in this small mining city and be sure to drop by the Gym or maybe even enter the granite carving contest that is held bi-annually!

This dark cave is said to go all across the Astral region, but for now very little of it has been explored. The dull glow of hung lanterns light your path, try not to get lost, refrain from exploring too far from the path. The move Waterfall is required to climb up the cascading water on the dark lake farther into the cave. A flashlight is strongly recommended.

These intricate tunnels branch off in every which direction. Be carful as there is only one path that actually leads to the exit. On the plus side there are items hidden throughout the tunnels that past trainers have dropped. Try and avoid the pitfalls and the rockslides that occur sometimes. Mind you sometimes they can bring you to interesting places.

This rather beautiful route is actually rather misty. The mist sometimes hides the path making it harder to follow. Although the mist may be confusing the grass tends to sparkle almost as there is a constant layer of dew clinging to it's leaves. Rain boots would be useful unless you would rather let the dampness soak into your clothing.

This city is one of the oldest ones in all of Astral. There is usually a thin layer of mist rolling throughout the town so seeing the ground is actually rather rare. Be sure to visit the Move tutor while you are here! You might also want to visit Dew Gardens as the sight is rather breath taking. Be sure to take your time in this city as it will be the last city you will see before reaching the elite four.

This route is actually part of a long stretch of land. It is still rather foggy in this route and it sometimes gets so bad that the move Defog is required. There are many hidden items along this route among the unnaturally long grass. Try not to drop anything in the grass as many past trainers have but be sure to try and pick something up before you head to the next route.

This route is an extension off of Route Fifteen as it turns rather sharply creating this route. This route is near a now inactive volcano so its humid air makes this route for its' astounding hot springs. There is actually a family run spa near the middle of this route if you are looking for a break but beware of the fire pokemon as they get rather steamed up around visitors.

This extremely long road is the ultimate test for any trainer. The amount of trainers itching to battle is almost overwhelming and the hide almost anywhere and everywhere. This extremely competitive road would be extremely pretty with all the small cliffs and the artistically placed grass patches if you actually had time to take a break and look at the scenery!

Here it is. The most direct path to the headquarters. Congrats on making it this far. However, you'll need a pokemon with the HM dive to get past this dark, underwater tunnel.

Welcome, to the Level Up! Alley. Some of the greatest trainers come here to level up their pokemon and become stronger. Only those with eight badges are permitted to train here.
