I need trees, not sand!> he waved his scythe arms around in exasperation before letting out a huff. <Why are we here again?> ❝Seeing if we'll have better luck with a Pokemon to give to the Professor if we change the time.❞ though it was to his own detriment, for sure. He still didn't have enough bytes to repurchase ~~Kindler~~, and he also eventually wanted to get ~~Swimmer~~ back so that Anta could enjoy floating around again instead of being constrained to any floating body of water. A brief pause fell between them. Some wind comes in, hot on their faces, stirring up sand. It was not pleasant. <These Pokemon weren't here last time, right?> Tora asked. Memories flashed in the trainer's mind for a moment: bodies in piles, bleached of color, barely clinging to life, or in reality, made to live on the thinnest thread so that they were still alive enough to be fed on, but too weak to resist. ❝They actually haven't been here for a long, long time.❞

I want to leave, maybe go to the Misty Timberland or something. Anywhere that isn't this fucking hot.❞ And yet he made no move to move. Not yet, anyway. His eyes would linger on the opposite wall, with its cracks and parts already in holes, sunlight pouring in and creating beams in their little shelter. He blinked visibly, suddenly remembering something. He had the full intention to find and catch a Shroomish in order to activate the little building mini game that he saw tied to the Raikou shrine wish quest. However, with ~~Beta Tester~~ equipped, he wondered if he could already do a bit of it without the builder? Could he actually try to build something out here, in the dunes? Honestly, that shouldn't be too hard as there were still existing structures he could use; he just had to fortify them. But how about air condition? (because that was the most important thing in the world to him right now). And what of other necessities? How funny would it be to build a little base in the most desolate place on UNOVR... <You're thinking of something stupid, aren't you.> the Scyther said - he assumed that sudden flicker in his eye; his stance becoming less fatigued, was a sign of something irresponsible brewing. Arthur scoffed. ❝It's nothing like punching a child in the face. It's self-imposed.❞ <Self-imposed means that your Pokemon are also apart of it.> ❝I'm not going to get started on it right away, it's just an idea.❞ Tora grimaced. <You and your ideas...>

Is it a crime to want to build a secret base in a desert?❞ <That's your idea?> ❝Yeah!❞ and now that he said it out loud, he didn't feel embarrassed by it at all. In fact, he felt all the more that this sounded actually pretty fucking exciting. He wondered if he should enlist help from other players...but what would the point of a secret base be? Then again, why would he make one if he wasn't going to show it off? Many things to think about, indeed... <Why would you even need a base here? In a desert??> ❝It's not all desert. Don't you see the vision? Hell, I'm sure we can even make it underground!❞ not that he had the Pokemon for that, but he was 99% sure that these buildings must've had basement levels, and it was wholly possible that they were standing above sea level too. There could be additional levels down there, concrete that still withstood the test of time, and if they could uncover these places, well, how cool would that be? The Scyther was certainly not pleased that his trainer was already standing up, looking refreshed in spite of the sun barely moving over the horizon. <Okay Mr. Hotshot, what Pokemon are you even going to use to help you dig?> ❝Good question. Surely there are native ground type Pokemon here, right?❞ upon revisiting his memories of the first slice of the Hearteater raid, it dawned on him that he never actually got to check one of the entrances, and so he didn't know what type of Pokemon were restored. Not that he would be able to identify most of them, but it would've been nice to see a friendly face or something. ❝Anyway, if we take that path over there, I could make a run for it and try to stay out of the sun as much as possible. If we're moving towards the ruins, this should give us more cover. We can then maybe find a Pokemon to help us, perhaps, I dunno, like a Geodude or--❞ <A Sandshrew?> ❝Yeah--HOLY SHIT.❞ Indeed, a Sandshrew had half of his body buried in the sand, but his whole face was above ground, eyes boring into their souls with what could be described as curiosity. For all the flack Tora gave his trainer, he still instinctively stood in front of him, in case the presence was hostile.
