Route Ravager Once; Rank 1 Explorers | 1 character 3 posts Prerequisite: Complete at least one Discovery thread Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Instructions Head to the local Expeditionary House and share evidence of your Discovery with the local captain there. If the captain is sufficiently impressed, they will put in for your promotion.
...Mmmm, how to say, no matter how hard he thought to like... trying to set some of the facts down... The teen has been resting in his den for two days ever since the last exploration. It was really mind wrecking honestly. He can't even say anything other than that. But what's more to grow stronger, he need to also grow more credible. That is, by going to the nearest Expeditionary House and tell his achievement.
...If Reshiram's word is to be believed, then he without doubt has gained enough achievement. But of course no one would take a fourteen years old's words if he goes around and says "hey, I'm Champion of Truth!" ...Seriously, like hell they would. So Tetsu is brainstorming on how to set his story straight. It's hard to omit about the shrine and all that... But at the same time Tetsu also thought that it's unwise also to not talk about the volcano. Sooner or later people are going to travel to that volcano...
....So, maybe framing it as some sort of Pokemon breeding ground with very highly hostile Pokemons would help. But that's the backup plan. He can... he can try to tell them the other exploration, one about rescuing Molly. That one sort of cross between Explorer's Duty and Ranger's Duty... so he's not sure that it will pass, but...
"...sigh"
Tetsu is already here, waiting along with Ettie. He told the receptionist that both him and Ettie was involved in the adventures so far. She will back up his testimonies. Plus it wasn't like he's not doing anything either! He got some reputation from stopping the metal mayhems! And so, he waited...

Ettie, admittedly, wasn't entirely sure of what to expect from the Expeditionary House. In fact, she initially wasn't sure what the point to coming here was! But it was pretty clear that Tetsu wanted to share the Emerald Forest adventures that the both of them had with the people here - and that something good would happen if these people liked those adventures - so... She figured, why not?
Given that the two big adventures they had was both exploring the Emerald Forest to help that one trainer, as well as going down into those geothermal caves to discovery a shrine to Reshiram, it only made sense that she would bring relevant pokemon with. Anne, Prince, Barbara, and Alexander would all be at her side; the four pups following close at her heels, as they entered the Expeditionary House proper.
As Ettie followed alongside Tetsu though, she could easily tell that something had the young boy bothered - and she'd frown softly, patting him on the shoulder. "Are you okay, Tetsu?" She'd ask, tilting her head a little as he sighed. "I'm sure they'll believe us and understand, if we tell them everything, and show them the pokemon we met over there!"
Though Tetsu had mentioned before his uncertainties over telling these people everything, Ettie didn't see the harm in telling the truth. If the both of them explained that the cave was a holy grounds that all the pokemon down there were extremely protective of, she was sure that the people here would understand to stay away! Right? Especially when they had Tetsu's Larvesta, and her own two Houndour, to help explain things!

Tetsu Asterite Ettie Once the two were admitted to the Captain's quarters listened to their stories, he was blown away at hearing about a section of the Emerald Forest that seemed to defy the seasons. Despite appearing in his late thirties, the bearded individual was quite chipper. "It had long since been theorized there was a well of geothermal energy underneath the Hallelujah Mountain Range, but no one ever knew it extended as far as beneath the Emerald Forest, too. This will warrant further geological investigation. You're no ordinary Explorers if you can get to the bottom of that long-unsolved mystery. Hand me your Explorer's Cards and I'll get them updated for you."

That... that was faster than he thought. The first discovery doesn't seem to interest the guy but apparently the second one already... That's when he heard "investigation". Heliolite on his arm squirmed a bit, as if telling him "go on, Sir. Tell them what you gone through!" Yeah, lying no longer an option, even a white lie. So... he had to drop a bombshell here.
"Um... Sir? If you don't mind, I have a favor to ask... That place, there are a holy ground on that place. Pokemon there will not allow just anyone to pass, and it will be highly dangerous if some people happened to go there in team... It might be taken as a sign of aggression. As of what's inside... there's a Shrine of Reshiram there."
Heliolite is now beaming with pride, as if trying to goad Tetsu to reveal what's next, but the boy decide that this is good enough. He's not going to say that Reshiram chosen him! He'd be called a chuunibyou for that!
"As an Unovan born, Reshiram and Zekrom are the two legendaries that helped to shape my hometown. Although we don't quite have the same respect Alolan have to their Kapus, to us Reshiram and Zekrom are still heroes, a longtime part of our region, their blood. That's why... that's why... uh... Please, please mark this place as not a kind of place you should enter willy nilly. It's not for gloryseekers, it's also not for capturing Pokemons. These Pokemons are follower of Truth. They will not appreciate any battles in their sacred ground."
Well that's acceptable enough. Heliolite exhaled but looked satisfied. If it have a face it would be probably smiling.
"And here's my card. Uh, Ettie, you have a card too, right?"

Huhm; so these people had a bit of an idea that this sort of thing was going on? Just not how far it reached? Ettie would tilt her head a bit curiously but nodded, already digging through her bag for her card as soon as the Captain mentioned it. Meanwhile though, as Tetsu mentioned not advising investigating this cave, Ettie would nod her agreement. "Yeah; it's a very special territory for them, and those pokemon probably wouldn't appreciate humans going down there!"
As if to voice his agreement, Alexander would make a sharp 'rrrrruff!', remarking <Humans who don't prove self have no place. Temple is pokemons' land.> with an upturn of his nose. Barbara, meanwhile, nodded in a quiet - but undeniable - agreement.
"I don't really understand Reshiram as much as Tetsu does... But I do believe that a... Legendary Pokemon's temple being down there is probably for good reason!" Admittedly, she had to pause for a second to remember that 'legendary pokemon' was the term that humans used. "And I believe that noone who lives there would be happy if people just went down there without at least trying to talk to the pokemon guarding the temple. So please respect their territory - it's a very special one!"
With that though, Tetsu would ask about whether Ettie had her card - to which she nodded. "Yep yep! It's right here - here you go, mister!" She'd respond as she pulled it out, offering it to the captain. After Tetsu had suggested to her that she become an explorer and get one, she kept it close ever since!
