You stumble blindly through undergrowth, hunger panging your belly normally for once. You've grown more wary with every step you take, tiredness threatening to pull you under. Stumbling momentarily, you give in and sit down to breath. It'd been so long since you felt normal, which felt odd to even think about.
Looking behind you, you have a glimmer of hope in your mind that you'll see your old town but the pathway back is covered with tall trees and dense foliage. You sigh before getting back up and continuing forwards.
It seems like it's taken you months before you finally stumble upon a thriving town with an abnormally large tree rooted in the middle of it. Freezing, you look around warily at all the Pokemon moving around. It feels to good to be real. As you're debating whether to check it out or turn around, a greeting pulls you from your thoughts.
Realizing that someone had actually noticed you, you choke back tears as you run as fast as you can towards the town.
It wasn't stuck in a time loop! Thank Arceus!
Adanvale Town
A decently large town has rooted itself in a large clearing near a dense forest. In the middle of it all, an abnormally large oak tree towers over it all. It's branches almost look as if it was wrapping the town in a protective embrace. It feels safe here. Looking harder at the tree, a large door can be made out with windows carved out all the way up it. Pokemon lived in it it seemed. A large bulletin board sat outside with Pokemon crowded around it, many of them with scarves around their necks and badges securely fastened to them.
A Guild.
Scattered all around what you've finally realized was a guild was both shops and homes. The shops were arranged more closely to the guild while the homes branched outwards and lived on the outskirts of the decently sized town.
From what you could make out of the shops, a few restaurants, an item shop or two, perhaps a dojo?
Friendly faces sat at every entrance, beckoning for Pokemon to stop at their shops.
Towards the end of the line of shops a storage unit and bank had popped up as well with welcoming faces waiting patiently for others to need them.
Adanvale Guild
Large gnarled roots sprawl out in every direction at the base of the guild. Many Pokemon sat on them, chatting idly. As your eyes travel closer towards it's base, carved out stairs make way towards large wooden doors with iron handles. Your eyes snake further up it's ginormous base and you can make out many carved out holes for windows, some even accompanied by window seals. Further up, large branches spread out in every direction with thick foliage. Squinting your eyes as if it'd help, you make out vines dropping down and the longer you stare, you start to notice even Pokemon up top. Monkey like Pokemon swung from the vines, chasing after each other while bird Pokemon chattered noisily among each other.
Tearing your eyes away, you start to make your way into the guild. Once inside, your mouth gapes out how large it was. You knew the tree was large but you still weren't expecting to see how large it really was on the inside. At the opposite end of the door sat a receptionist behind a bar. She was filling out paperwork and giving out guild starter kits to new recruits.
Letting your eyes flit around, you found the entrance to a mess hall with Pokemon crowded around it; probably waiting for lunch. Another entry way leads the way towards a bathing area. Warm air hung around it and dispersed out onto the floor of the main room, as if giving a hug to all the Pokemon around;cozy. One more entrance led towards what you could assume was the Guild Masters room as Pokemon stood outside asking for entry reasons. Finally your eyes land on some stairs.
You make your way over and climb up them curiously but you'r stopped about a quarter of a ways up and turned back around. Apparently it was a guild members only section. You assumed it was sleeping quarters and what else. If you wanted to know, you'd have to join the guild. It didn't sound like the worst of ideas.
