Salty ocean water sprayed the deck of the speedy yacht as it cut through the ocean waters. In the far distance the visage of a massive chain of islands became progressively more and more visable as time went by.<br/>Professor Hemlock smiled at the sight before turning about to address his two assistants. "Alright...We are almost there as you can see. Keep in mind this island is uninhabited and has had very little human contact...Id like to keep it that way." nodding he lifted a hand and motioned to the island. "The chain of islands here are close enough to cross from one to another on foot and are peculiar in the fact that together they seem to provide all kinds of habitat for wild pokemon." lowering his hand he raised a finger, as if to reprimand the two. "That being said...there are likely to be some very powerful pokemon here, as well as some that are very rare. If things get too hard for you two then retreat here and let your pokemon rest...One moment you might be fighting Wurmples only to be dealing with a Scizor or Vulcarona the next. Be careful."<br/>Pausing for a moment to let everything sink in he lowered his hands and took a more casual stance. "We will be spending an entire week here, so do not be afraid to hunt and gather to add variety to the food stores. I will find a good space to set up a camp site and will spend today setting up a portable pokemon center here....So that means the two of you will have to work extra hard today as I will be unable to join your adventures."<br/>A soft whistle blew, causing the professor to turn and adjust his glasses, his attention now focused on the looming chain of islands. "...We have arrived." He muttered, a sliver of excitement in his voice.<br/><br/>The island ahead was massive, stretching outwards in either direction. Sand the color and texture of powdered sugar covered the beach like a welcome matt, leading the way to the dense tropical rainforest that cloaked the majority of the island.  From farther inland there was a brief clearing of trees, giving a glimpse to a thick looking swamp area that lay at the heart of a massive lake shaped like a crescent moon. The shadow of a single mountain cast darkness over another side of the island, where a more dense and grim looking forest laid in wait...While the mountain itself stretched upwards, its rocky flanks covered by a thin layer of snow towards the top.  In the distance a pair of different mountain peaks could be seen, evidence that there was two more islands for them to explore.<br/><br/>With a soft hissing sound of sand on the hull, the ship came to a stop. Turning about to face the two companions again the professor motioned to them. "Off you two go...and if you find a good place to camp, contact me on the text system on your pokedex. Good luck out there..."
