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

Setting off in a yet uncharted direction, it isn't too long before this team stumbles across what must have once been the temple kitchens. The large chamber is rather devoid of the fancy decorations that can be found in many other locations. It seems this room was one of function and not design.

Several long stone tables must have once been used to prepare the food for both the humans and pokemon living in this temple. Wood stoves stand along the back wall, though obviously, the fires inside have long been extinguished.

Still, the room has a few treasures left to reveal.


Treasures:

Midoriya Izuku's search through a pile of debris and detritus brought into the room by the passage of time and the various pokemon who have undoubtedly made these former kitchens their home at one point or another will eventually reveal a stone doll, which has been bound inside a sack with a sea-weed based rope. A pair of black pearls have been set inside the doll's face as eyes. It feels extremely cursed.

Additionally, inside a large chest, Bakugou Katsuki will discover a gigantic wheel of cheese, contained in a watertight, seaweed-based wrapper that is incredibly difficult to peel off. Just how long has this been ageing? Tastes incredibly funky and salty like seawater. This’ll pair nicely with some wine.

Additionally, tucked away in a small cellar hidden underneath the floor, Kirishima Eijiro finds several glass bottles filled with what looks to be ancient wine, never opened. You don’t know what this is made of, but it tastes fruity and decadent. This’ll pair nicely with some cheese.

Additionally, Ochako Uraraka discovers a tea set that has survived the passage of time. Though one of the cups has a chipped rim, other than that, the set is undamaged. The teapot has a white glaze and delicate scenes of swimming Mantine painted in various shades of blue. The cups have a matching white glaze, but they contain depictions of swimming Mantyke.

Additionally, Todoroki Shoto a small statue carved from a Walrein's tusk. The statue depicts Manaphy, the guardian of the seas. The surface of the statue is worn soft in a manner that only comes from frequent handling. Perhaps this was a talisman for someone once upon a time?
