Lost Temple: Exploration

[indigo_league]

Top Section	The three floors closest to the surface. Due to the light streaming in through the porthole like windows that line the walls, this is the brightest, most airy feeling section of the Temple. The hallways here are fairly broad and the curved ceilings tower high above the average person's head. Many large, circular chambers can be found in this section, the sort that might once have been used to receive guests in the Temple. Though time has had its effects on most of the objects decorating the halls and chambers, you can still see this section of the Temple must once have been richly decorated. Pokemon (lvl 10-30): Squirtle, Poliwag, Seel, Shelder, Krabby, Staryu, Corphish, Feebas, Magikarp, Shellos, Chinchou, Corsola, Lotad, Barboach, Kabuto, Binacle, Clamperl, Castform (Rainy form), Popplio, Pyukumuku, Wooper, Dewpider, Dratini, Pincurchin Pieces of Slab found: 8/8
Middle Section	The middle section consists of seven floors. Though some light still filters in from outside, most of the illumination here comes from strange, glowing crystals that are set at regular intervals along the walls. The hallways here are more narrow and less grand. The same goes for the chambers. You get the idea that this part of the Temple was perhaps more the personal domain of whoever once tended to this Temple. Compared to the first section, there are more hidden areas here, as well as traps preventing unauthorised individuals from accessing what had once been kept in this area of the Temple. Pokemon (lvl 20-60): Corsola, Corsola (Galarian), Gorebyss, Luvdisc, Finneon, Alomomola, Clauncher, Brionne, Wishiwashi, Arrokuda, Tentacool, Lanturn, Marill, Quagsire, Horsea, Marshtomp, Tirtouga, Frillish, Omanyte, Kabutops, Skrelp, Dragonair, Mareanie, Sealeo, Lileep, Anorith, Relicanth Pieces of Slab found: 8/8
Lowest Section	The lowest section of the temple. You can barely go down a single floor before you hit the water. It seems that this part of the temple is partially (or perhaps entirely) submerged in water. Anyone interested in exploring this part of the temple will need to be ready to swim and have a pokemon that knows Dive*. The sunlight from above does not penetrate this deeply in the water, and the light that illuminates the large labyrinthine hallways in this section of the temple comes from strange, bioluminescent corals and water plants that cover the walls. From the way they are grown, it's clear they were purposely coaxed to grow in those area. Additionally, because of the submerged nature of this area of the temple, it seems that whoever designed this area fully took advantage of the fact that the water allows people to move in all directions, and nothing like staircases can be found. As you get lower, the floors get smaller, growing more narrow as you travel down the tail end of the temple. * If your pokemon are incapable of Dive, the Legendary Seekers will recommend a trip to the Marine Research Institute on Sevii Island Four, where a Move Tutor for this move is available. Pokemon (lvl 50-80): Blastoise, Seaking, Starmie, Dhelmise, Octilllery, Wailmer, Milotic, Huntail, Lumineon, Clawitzer, Barraskewda, Poliwrath, Tentacruel, Gyarados, Cloyster, Cursola, Kingdra, Mantine, Swampert, Sharpedo, Gastrodon, Carracosta, Jellicent, Toxapex, Walrein, Cradlily, Armaldo Pieces of Slab found: 9/9

Exploring the top section of the underwater temple, Eri, Rei, Louie and Huey follow several long, twisting hallways until they finally come across a pair of huge doors. Some strength will be required to open them, but once they are open, they will find what must once have been a library.

Unfortunately, time and humidity destroyed most of the books here, though some fragments of texts and illustrations can still be found.


Treasures: While exploring

Rei finds a book that seems to have survived the onslaught of time to a remarkable degree. While not all of the book is readable anymore, many pages remain. It turns out to be some sort of cookbook. Many of the recipes sound rather strange to our modern ears, mixing ingredients together that really don't seem like they should work together at all. Should she ever try to make the recipes in the book, they have about a 50/50% chance of either being completely, mind-blowingly incredible or just completely inedible, making you wonder just what was up with those ancient people. Froakie-eye salad? Really?

In addition, Eri comes across a very delicate, sapphire Tirtouga figurine. Narrow rivulets of gold have been cast into the shield of the turtle. There is a small amount of damage to one of its flippers, but beyond that, the small figurine is in remarkable condition.

In addition, Huey finds a huge chunk of amber sitting in what may once have been a display case in the centre of the library. Once the dust and grime have been carefully cleaned away from the precious stone, the fossil of a small, ancient species of Yanma can be seen inside.

In addition, Louie finds a map tucked in one of the many ruined books. Surprisingly, the map has not entirely been destroyed by age. It will take some time to completely decipher as it does have extensive time-related, but once done so, it seems to lead to a location deeper inside of the temple, on the middle level. There is no telling what the map leads to.
