Goldstein Mines
After gaining entry into Goldstein Mines, Julia decided to explain Wild Areas to our newcomer.
"Okay... Since this is your first Wild Zone. I'll briefly explain.."
Julia then adjusted her imaginary glassesand began explaining away.
"Wild Zones are kinda like dungeons in rpgs. They are made due to the presence of a 'guardian' Pokèmon."
Maigo follows along with the explaination while we walk down the mine
"Guardian Pokèmon are special, they are usually level 50 or above. And have incredible talent..."
"The Guardians However. After dying of natural causes or by being caught, the Wild Zone ceases. And stops producing Pokèmon and Items.."
We then stop after we get to the ladder of this cave.. and Julia finished up her explaination
"Goldstein Mines is special, that its a 'artificial' Wild Zone. The previous champion released a Level 60 Steelix into this cave before he retired.... The Steelix was a pacifist that wanted to live peacefully.."
"So most trainers who had Pokèmon that have the criteria to create artificial Wild Zones are encouraged to give their Pokèmon freedom after they retire.."
"The criteria being... C or above in both talent ranks. Being level 50 or above, and being a Wild Pokèmon (essentially a Pokèmon without a Legacy)"
Julia went to climb down first, following Maigo, and then me..
So I can't do any looking above shenanigans...
After we all get down to the main cave area, I released Honedge
"Hooo..."
Honedge surveyed the area and stuck close to use
"Gimmighoul are very abundant in this area. Though they tend to be in hidden compartments. And many Steel types as well, so best you two release Pokèmon as well."
Julia nods and released her Torracat, while Maigo followed suit with her Charmeleon.
We walk around the area and see some interesting Steel types... Especially a lot of Aron.
Honedge, being a ghost type.. can see through secret passages unlike us... So I let Honedge guide us through the cave.
Julia and Maigo followed, with their Pokèmon both being vigilant incase of a attack.
The walk was slow, but the pace was steady... It didn't take long for Honedge to spot the first secret passage of the cave.
I entered the passage first, passing through the wall. The two girls and their Pokèmon followed me inside, and we locked our eyes onto a chest....
"Well i think thats it. I leave it up to you on how you want to catch it Maigo.."
Maigo nods and moves closer to the chest and it opened, revealing a Gimmighoul swimming in a pile of Coins...
Yeah erm. Thats a lot of coins actually
I scanned the Gimmighoul and checked its stats.
Gimmighoul (Chest-Form) (N/A)

Item: (None)

Well its Talent is good.. but genderless Pokèmon tend to have higher talent than those that do.... So its above average.
Maigo approached the chest, and said object opened to reveal a Gimmighoul swimming in a pool of coins..
"Gimmi!-"
The Gimmighoul looked at Maigo and as a sensitive Ghost Pokèmon, it sensed that she meant no harm.
The timid nature of Gimmighoul helps in this case..
"Hello Gimmighoul... I'm Maigo, and I want you to join my team! I really need your strength.."
" Gimmi?"
The Gimmighoul processed her words and nodded, it asked held up a coin inside its chest and gestured for said coin..
"I think it wants coins in exchange for its Loyalty... You're really lucky..."
Maigo then smiles and reaches for her backpack and rook out the 999 coins she just bought
"Here you fo Gimmighoul!,"
She then pours the bag, that housed more coins that it could fit from an outside perspective...
Just don't question it...
"Gimmi! Gimmi!!!"
The Gimmighoul looked happy and ecstatic
"So.. you should catch Gimmighoul now Maigo.."
I then added to her, me and Julia stepped back for Maigo so she could catch the Gimmighoul.
Maigo took out her Pokèball and put it beside Gimmighoul
"Gimmi!"
The Gimmighoul then pressed the Pokèball's button and willingly got caught.
"Congratulations Maigo!"
I clap my hands to her and gave her praise.
"Well done.."
after congratulations, we continued walking the trail of the cave.. while Honedge was hovering in front of us, we reach a open field. This is where Roaming Gimmighoul usually spawn..
The field was massive. It was hard to see the end of it.
It"ll be hard to find a Gimmighoul in this area... But Honedge already checked, and sadly. It only had found one hidden room on our path here.
It was unfortunate to say the least.
"Hm.. I think we should continue exploring. We're bound to to find two more Gimmighoul in this vast open field no?"
Julia was indeed correct. Though it'll take a long chunk of time..
1 hour later
"Shoto... I think I don't want a Gimmighoul anymore.. augh... I'm exhausted... Let me sit down first."
Julia was already tired.... While she is the most physically fit one, I'm better at long term energy so I'm fine.. and from the looks of things. Maigo is also fine.
I release Larvesta..
" Okay Larvesta. Look after Julia for me and I'll go with Maigo to explore more.."
Julia widened her eyes and smirked teasingly
"Aw.. you're so worried about me..?"
I then replied matter of factly.
"Yeah of course. So just stay still okay?"
Julia then pouted at my reply
"Sure sure.."
She sat down and Larvesta went over her side and began watching over her..
As we walked Maigo continued conversation
"Where'd you get that Larvesta? You hardly see any shiny Wild Pokèmon of that rarity.."
I pause, and then I corrected her
"Its actually a Legacy Pokèmon Maigo.."
Maigo's eyes then widened. But that Larvesta was so obedient? I don't recall the Chevaliers having a 2nd legacy Pokèmon...
"Oh did you get this from a buy it from a foreigner?, I don't recall any noble families in Sovaria having a Shiny Larvesta as their Legacy Pokèmon"
"And as a follow-up question... How much do you even pay for male Legacy Pokèmon?"
Shoto then frowned, and contemplated telling her the truth..
And what's the harm in it anyways. Might as well.
"Ah no... The Larvesta is a female, and I didn't buy it from anyone.."
Maigo's eyes mouth aped..
"A female? Didnt buy??? That didn't make any sense.."
"Who sells their Monopoly over legacy Pokèmon?... And besides the Females tend to be very attached to the bloodline that Nurtured its family tree...."
" Unless...."
Maigo's thoughts got interrupted as we both hear a faint shoowsh sound and we both stared it..
A... Transparent dome?
I recognize these...
"These is....."
"A Space-time distortions!'
