They say when night falls on the Route 14 of Unova, a thick fog rolls in.
And when you look closely, you’ll see them- the flashing lights. Green, red, yellow- blinking in patterns. And if you stare to much? They’ll take you away. At least, that’s the rumor. Surely nothing terrible could lay on such a quiet route? Landorus is even said to watch over it from it’s shrine that lay on the cliffs above.
Though these strange things do happen. The lights have been reported many times. People wake up and forget what they were even doing on the route. Some wake up with no memory of who they were at all. Others recall an omen, the white furred Absol, appearing. And all share a similar story- they all recall the lights.
A foggy night falls upon Route 14, and with it the lights appear as well. And the fog catches a bundle of unwitting trainers with it...will they join the group of the memory robbed wanderers? Or shall they unravel the mystery of those shining lights?
Another day of wandering over, Jackson guessed.
He had left Undella just a few minutes ago, a quaint town that got busy during the summer, or so he heard. Fall had come and with it, taking the tourists and replacing them with terrible chilling winds. While the sun gleaming off the Undella bay was quite a pretty sight, the cold breeze that skid over the ocean was not to Jackson’s liking.
The valley ahead, Route 14, was said to be coated in a mist and fog thanks to the waterfalls of the road. Not that he was worried about that- he had his ways of dealing with fog.
No, what interested him him were those rumored...lights.
Hushed whisper had been going around the quiet town of Undella, and Jackson had heard some of the juicier ones- which, aside from some local gossip, included what laid in Route 14, and how “No one should go down there at night.” While Jackson usually doubted these things, he couldn’t exactly say with complete confidence it wasn’t true. The world was weird, after all. Unexplained lights were much less strange than some other happenings in the world.
Though most things did have explanations behind them. The lights were probably some reflections off the nearby waterfalls. Be it some kid’s flashlight or a car blinker, it was nothing more than some over imaginative souls blowing it up since there was not much else to do during the off season. At worst? It was a Pokemon in the night, who could be easily scared off. So the lights didn't frighten him too much.
He crossed the bridge leading to Route 14, fog rolling up as the orange sun sank below the horizon. With a sigh, he began to shuffle through his bag, pulling out a Great Ball with a notch in it. “Let’s go, Chipper. Need your eye.”
A large, dark grey creature appeared on the bridge, a red eye in the center of it’s skull shaped face. It made a noise, sounding like a guttural growl, as if it were annoyed- of course, that was just it’s normal voice. Dusclops didn’t have much in the ways of vocal chords...or a mouth. It was amazing that it could even make noise. One of those things that was less believable than unexplained lights that Jackson had mentioned earlier.
“Light the way, pal.”
Chipper’s gazer glew ever brighter, shining a scarlet light into the fog. Now Jackson had significantly less chance of tripping down a staircase or falling into a river. He really didn't want to end up with a broken neck, much less in a foreign country.
The reason Jackson was attempting to head to the next town over was simple- he just didn’t like Undella all that much, and he didn’t feel like sleeping in the wilderness. The route’s only real obstacle was the fog, so he just had to go through the valley. It may of been petty, but he wasn't staying in that chilly sea town any longer than he had to.
“Good job boy, now let's get going.” Jackson continued, finishing his course over the bridge, Chipper following behind him, it’s light guiding the way.
He started his decent down into the valley, heading down a set of stairs. The sky was getting darker, the fog ever thicker, the Dusclops shuffling alongside him. Jackson’s thoughts wandered as he walked, about his journey so far. It wasn’t a quest for Gym Badges, but rather just seeing the sights. He wasn’t into battles so much. They were fun and all, but he wasn’t very...good at them. Jackson didn't have a strategy other than "Hit them a lot." His train of thought derailed as he heard another sound from Chipper, who apparently had missed a step.
Because Jackson saw his ghostly escort tumbling down the stairs, the crimson beacon going with it.
“Gah, CHIPPER!” Shit, he thought to himself, giving chase to the ghost type. That's not good.
...This walk was going to be a long one, wasn’t it?

Quick rules, just doing this so everyone is on the same page.
1) First off, please read the Pokecharms rules. I don’t want anyone to get in trouble because they didn’t do the one thing that literally everything tells you to do in the first place.
2) Don’t Godmod. This is pretty clear in the first place, but please. I don’t want our major obstacles being one shot by your all powerful Eevee or other equivalent.
3) Please try to make your posts at least two paragraphs (Ten sentences about) long- just to keep things engaging. Use proper grammar too, that’s important as well.
4) No fakemon or fan variants of Pokemon. Pretty much an unspoken rule. To be specific, when I say variants I mean complete design and type change, not their fur being a shade darker. Shinies and all are cool.
5) Don’t be a jerk ooc. A jerk who is in character I don’t mind. Just not outside. Also understand constructive criticism =/= being a jerk.
6) Don’t worry about asking to join. Just hop on in. I will close this soon though, once we have a cast all together. 4 or 5 people max I’d say.
