((The districts are colour-coded, aside from the Port District))

Disctricts:
1: The Wealthy District
Located in the middle of Noverus around Groudon's Thumb, this community has been kept orderly by Team Magma Grunts patrolling the streets. Here, most family members of Team Magma operatives live in safety. The First Rebellion originated from this quiet community, and was swept away in it. Also located in this district is a luxurious Pokemon Center, PokeMart, and several small Magma storage facilities containing gear and rations.

2: The Suburbs
Organized in a ring around the Wealthy District is the suburban area of the city. Here, most of the general population resides. The area contains the largest Pokemon Center in the city, to accommodate the majority of the local population's Pokemon. The area also contains an immense shopping mall to supply civilians with goods and items that are vital for even the most basic Pokemon Trainers.

3: The Poor District
Around the edges of the island city of Noverus lies the mysterious poor district. Here, apartment buildings and dark alleyways are frequent, as well as new Rebels. The district contains a Pokemon Center, which has served as an alternate hideout for aspiring Rebels. There are a few PokeMarts scattered around, although they have run the risk of closing due to the lack of business brought on by Team Magma cracking down on suspected Rebels in the district. This district only contains very few Magma storage facilities that are frequently used for confiscated equipment and other objects.

4: The Port District
The Port District is located in the southwestern corner of Noverus. Around the district are several apartments and houses, as well as a Pokemon Center and a PokeMart. Most of these contain undercover Team Aqua operatives and their families. Similar to the poor district, this area only contains very few Magma storage facilities, due to the large Aqua presence.

The Outskirts
The forests surrounding the banks of the river are lush, containing a large array of species of Pokemon. To the north and northeast are numerous mountains and valleys. In the mountains and valleys of the northern areas, several different Pokemon species can be found as well, inhabiting the mineral-rich caves or establishing nests on the steep cliffs. Several dirt roads sprout off from the main paved road, leading toward several scenic areas. Although, these areas are not devoid of Magma's presence. Scattered throughout the mountains are weather monitoring stations, established several years ago by Magma to monitor the weather for classified reasons. Team Magma monitors the main road with heavily-guarded security checkpoints. Tall fences surround the area, preventing unwanted intruders or worse, fleeing citizens.

Landmark Buildings:

Groudon's Thumb
Groudon's Thumb is the immense tower located at the direct center of the city. From the very top in his offices, Cmd. Tyson orders Team Magma, and maintains contact with Magma's leader, Maxie. The levels beneath the upper offices contain the reactor, which powers the tower and all Team Magma utilities around the city. This is the only source of power for the city, aside from the hydroelectric dam located upstream. The lower levels serve as a factory, producing Magma helicopters, armoured personnel carriers, and other vehicles. What else goes on here is unknown due to the high concentration of Magma forces inside and around the tower. A pass card given to high-ranking Team Magma operatives is required for entry.

The Keep
The Keep is located outside of the city to the northwest in the valleys and mountains of Hoenn. Here, Team Magma has established a secondary base of operations, where recruits are trained, prisoners are held captive, and Pokemon are kept in storage along with other objects. The facility contains a small train station, which leads to and from Noverus. This railway is the only entrance to Noverus, since all bridges except the railway bridge have been demolished. This facility has a heavy defence perimeter, with many Team Magma Elites and Grunts monitoring the area. A pass card given to high-ranking Team Magma operatives is required for entry.

The Sanctuary
Located inside the immense Suburban Pokemon Center's basement is the main Rebel outpost, simply known as The Sanctuary. The Pokemon Center's staff are well aware of the existing Rebel presence, and securely house them in the basement areas. A secret code that is given to Rebels upon joining is required for entry.

Kyogre's Maw
Kyogre's Maw is the name given to the recently-developed Team Aqua base in the local area. This cave located on the banks of the river in the northeastern outskirts is partially submerged, making it very easy to defend from intruders. Cmd. Lucy, the leader of the local Team Aqua operatives utilizes the base as her personal fortress, where she keeps frequent contact with Archie, Team Aqua's leader. A large Team Aqua presence exists here, as it serves as a barracks, storage facility, and ops center for the local forces.

Team Magma Vehicle Depot
This large concrete facility located in the northwestern area of the forested outskirts of the city. This is Magma's alternate facility for vehicle production, where their high-tech APCs and helicopters are constructed. These troop transport vehicles are frequently seen in the city, and are a force to be reckoned with.

Team Aqua Boatyard
Team Aqua's increasing presence in the area has required the need for a fully-functional vehicle production facility. This fortified structure is located on the northwest bank of the large, southwest portion of the river. Here, Aqua produces aquatic methods of transport, such as submarines, and boats. As with Magma's production facilities, this one is supplied by the mineral-rich mines to the north. Outside sources also ship in required materials via the river.

A. Landmark Buildings:

A1. Groudon's Thumb
Groudon's Thumb is the immense tower located at the direct center of the city. It is a tall white tower that gets thinner the higher it goes with a few platforms that extend out for the helicopters to fly on and off of. From the very top in his offices, Cmd. Tyson orders Team Magma, and maintains contact with Magma's leader, Maxie. The levels beneath the upper offices contain the reactor, which powers the tower and all Team Magma utilities around the city. This is the only source of power for the city, aside from the hydroelectric dam located upstream. The lower levels serve as a factory, producing Magma helicopters, armored personnel carriers, and other vehicles. Whatever else goes on here is unknown due to the high concentration of Magma forces inside and around the tower. A pass card given to high-ranking Team Magma operatives is required for entry.

A red building surrounds the bottom half of the tower (by ShinyTyphlosion). The lower levels of this outer building serve to house the majority of their forces, including a mess hall. The upper part contains offices and meeting rooms. The facility lacks recreational rooms, as Magmas are free to go to other places within Noverus without much trouble.

A2. The Keep
The Keep is located outside of the city to the northwest in the valleys and mountains of Hoenn. Here, Team Magma has established a secondary base of operations, where recruits are trained, prisoners are held captive, and Pokemon are kept in storage along with other objects. The facility contains a small train station, which leads to and from Noverus. This railway is the only entrance to Noverus, since all bridges except the railway bridge have been demolished. This facility has a heavy defense perimeter, with many Team Magma Elites and Grunts monitoring the area. A pass card given to high-ranking Team Magma operatives is required for entry.

The Keep is built like a medieval castle, with the Magma emblem adorned on every flat surface. As such, it has a dungeon in the basement, barracks within the castle for new recruits, and even a throne room for the bombastic taskmaster, Fire Lord Pyro Spectacular. He is known to be a hard leader by his subordinates, a lunatic by his allies, and a cruel foe by his enemies, especially prisoners. Though his iron fist is usually limited to the Keep, he is not shy about wandering into Noverus to cause more trouble to Magma’s enemies, particularly when he’s bored.

A3. The Sanctuary
Located inside the immense Suburban Pokemon Center's basement is the main Rebel outpost, simply known as The Sanctuary. The Pokemon Center's staff is well aware of the existing Rebel presence, and securely houses them in the basement areas. A secret code that is given to Rebels upon joining is required for entry.

Upon entering, the main base has a large lobby for Rebels to meet up and talk to each other (partially by IceColdGlaceon). A left corridor leads to a hallway of briefing rooms and storage areas. The corridor to the right of the lobby consists of multi-leveled bunker full of living quarters. The bottom floor includes a kitchen and mess hall.

Around the back of the Sanctuary is a garage for cars and other vehicles that members have picked up during missions. Said garage also includes a workshop to fix the cars up should they need it.

A4. Kyogre's Maw
Kyogre's Maw is the name given to the recently developed Team Aqua base in the local area. This cave located on the banks of the river in the northeastern outskirts is partially submerged, making it very easy to defend from intruders. Cmd. Lucy, the leader of the local Team Aqua operatives utilizes the base as her personal fortress, where she keeps frequent contact with Archie, Team Aqua's leader. A large Team Aqua presence exists here, as it serves as a barracks, storage facility, and ops center for the local forces.

The entrance to the Maw is a cave similar to this but larger (by Pumpkin King). Stalactites give the impression of teeth; if one uses his or her imagination, it does look like Kyogre emerging from the ground. Since the entrance is in the water, one would require a boat or similar vehicle to enter. The immediate entrance was the dock area. Then one would use a door on the cavern wall and enter the building-like part of the Maw, complete with barracks, offices and the like. Despite being carved out of the rock, this portion appears as a normal building with no windows. If one went to the bottom most floor, they would find the prison cells. The prison looked more like the cavern, with 1 in. (2.5 cm.) of water on the ground.

Deeper into the Maw, there is a secret part of the cavern that could only be accessed by submarine or by diving with a Pokemon (assuming you both have a good pair of lungs or diving equipment). This portion is in the shape of a “V”. There is a dock on each side, but the bottom half of the V is completely underwater. A pair of sharpedo guards the area, trained to attack anyone that enters without a proper signal. On the other side of this cavern is *CLASSIFIED INFO. ACCESS DENIED*.

Next to the Maw is the S.O.B.P. (Storage Of Big Pokemon, by Tysm), a stable set up so big Pokemon can get some fresh air. The building is above ground and mainly serves as a daycare of sorts for rather large Pokemon that can't roam through the base freely (Onix, Steelix, Tauros, etc). There is constant vigilance to guarantee that the Pokemon remain safe inside. The agents can pick up and leave their Pokemon in the S.O.B.P at anytime without extra fees.

A5. Team Magma Vehicle Depot
This large concrete facility located in the northwestern area of the forested outskirts of the city. This is Magma's alternate facility for vehicle production, where their high-tech APCs and helicopters are constructed. These troop transport vehicles are frequently seen in the city, and are a force to be reckoned with.

A6. Team Aqua Boatyard
Team Aqua's increasing presence in the area has required the need for a fully functional vehicle production facility. This fortified structure is located on the northwest bank of the large, southwest portion of the river. Here, Aqua produces aquatic methods of transport, such as submarines, and boats. As with Magma's production facilities, mineral-rich mines bring in the necessary materials. Outside sources also ship in required materials via the river. Unlike Magam’s mines, Aqua’s are located next to the boatyard. While this is convenient for building boats, it becomes a logistical nightmare trying to get them to Kyogre’s Maw.

B. Smaller Bases
NOTE: If you want your faction member assigned to one of these bases, you’ll have to ask the creator of your desired base.

B1. The Waterford at Noverus: (By Master Houndoom) This is the base of operations for Aqua's Sector B. The hotel accommodates its personnel, who are "undercover" as guests. It is an extended stay hotel that never has any vacancy. There is a staff of four agents that are rotated to man the desk as if they were employees of the hotel. Because of the nature of Sector B's work (they are mostly undercover agents) hardly anyone is seen in uniform, and the pseudo-military behavior seen at the Maw is not present at the Hotel.

Officer Nathaniel Bryce runs Sector B, with help from Officer II Jamie Langstrat, who runs sector C, or possibly is a regional director over the different internal bases in Noverus. Being a small sector, no more Aquas are being accepted.

This hotel is located near the "border" of the shopping area and poor district.

B2. Trivianni Apartments & Co.: (By Kishk) Located in the Poor District, this small apartment complex only houses passing Rebellion members who might happen to need a place to lie low after a particularly attention-calling mission. The owner, Roberto Trivianni, is a Rebel member himself and offers free lodging and food for Rebellion members. To keep the small apartment complex safe, Trivianni has positioned several Rebellion members in the complex's street to keep a lookout, disguised as homeless people or simply innocent bystanders reading the local newspaper.

B3. Spicy Taco!: (By Kishk) Located in the border between the Wealthy and the Suburban District, The Spicy Taco is a restaurant run by Magmas. It also doubles as a secondary outpost and lookout zone for Team Magma. Run by Johnne Trayborn, the restaurant has an underground section for storing Magma supplies, as well as a meeting room for any Magmas in need of a place to lie low or formulate new tactics in their missions. The restaurant also serves food (yes, Mexican food) to citizens, although they keep a sharp eye out for any undercover Rebels.

B4. Uncle Maxie’s Fun Fair: (By ShinyTyphlosion) This carnival is run by Magma as a project by their public relations department. It contains a Ferris Wheel, some spin rides, a Merry-Go-Round, and bumper cars. In addition, there are a lot of game and food stalls. Some of the game stalls even offer prizes such as contest accessories and more valuable items like Focus Bands and evolution items. Through a secret passage within the “Hall of Mirrors,” there is an underground warehouse where they keep spare parts for the rides, prizes and food. Also inside is a secret basement where higher ranked Magma members can store important items.

B5. Pokemart on Sunny Haven Avenue: (By 2gamers) On the southern end of the Poor District lies an inconspicuous pokemart. It was originally established to keep an eye on things within the south portion of the district, but soon expanded to storage site and temporary housing, as well as serving neighborhood pokemon. Upon entering, visitors will see a fully stocked pokemart, a 16-year old girl (Chloe) at the register, and her large machoke serving as a heavy lifter and bodyguard. What they don’t know is that this is the supply room for the Rebellion. With a swipe of a special key chain, Rebels get the items for free, while everyone else pays the old fashion way.

Underneath the pokemart lies the large basement that serves as the base. There is a wall of TV screens run by aging computers constantly monitoring activity on the streets. The large basement serves several purposes: the large dining table in the middle of the room is for meetings, two pairs of bunk beds in the corner and two sofas (total occupancy: 6) serve as boarding, and whatever vehicles that are around make it area a garage as well. It’s not fancy and can get quite cramped when new shipments arrive, but it’s home to a few Rebels. The leader of the base, simply known as “General”, is often sitting in his office, separated from the rest of the room by cubicle walls. He’s generally welcoming of fellow Rebels. Just keep your hands off his guns and granddaughter (again, Chloe) and guests will be OK.

The rooftop is home of one of the General’s operatives: Ichiro Hatori. His quarters are situated in the middle of the roof; they can’t be seen from the ground level.


C. Warehouses
These are just major warehouses. There are countless others throughout Noverus.

C1. Kingler Safehouse: (By Tysm) Located near the docks within the Poor District lies an abandoned warehouse... Or is it? Team Aqua uses this warehouse to store the precious water Pokemon that get supplied to rookies or higher rank agents. The warehouse is full of water tanks, along with a small office for the person in charge. It is also a good place to assign missions to the occasional newcomer that still can't be taken to the Maw before proving themselves. There is some undercover agents assigned to look out for intruders but they keep the vigilance small to avoid any big suspicions.

C2. The Magma Depot: (By Protoman) Several warehouses were abandoned to free up some of the budget...or so everyone was led to believe. These warehouses are actually storage chambers for devices such as Magma Balls (different colored pokeballs) and other items they are shipping from other parts of the world. All of the items are stored in crates, being broken down into sections; all items are organized by the order they were obtained. It's said that a massive number of Magma uniforms are stored for new recruits and Grunts.

C3. Northside Mall: (by 2gamers) Under the streets of the Poor district lies a dilapidated mall. Though it had gone out of business soon after the Magma takeover, that doesn’t mean it isn’t used. It is currently the main storage facility for Rebellion supplies, stolen vehicles, and even food and water. Supplies are organized according to stores (ex: clothing located in the Bobby Mildiger store, medicine within the Roselia Apothecary), all of which are manned by various Rebel faction members. These supplies aren’t limited to Rebels; some of the more rare supplies (particularly medicine) go to civilians who may need it more.

It has all the amenities of an actual mall, including a somewhat functional food court. Recently, Rebel engineers managed to get the air conditioning units to work, so people can actually spend a large amount of time in the mall without sweating like a pig.

The only way in or out of the hidden warehouse would be through the abandoned subway tunnels. Note that the subway cars probably don’t work, though no one has ever tried.

D. Other Locations

D1. The Save A Lot Pokemart: (By Amissa) This is just a poor run down pokemart located in the east side of the poor district. The manager of the business is Dustin Marks and he works with his assistant, the beautiful Destiny Rogers. The pokemart offers all of the basic equipment that one could ever want when it comes to pokemon. However, stealing from the shop is not recommended! Dustin and Destiny both use their pokemon to help them guard the store, so unless you would like to be on the wrong end of a stun spore or hypnosis attack, make sure that you pay for your purchases. This is officially a neutral area and they serve all of their customers, but Dustin and Destiny both harbor some anti-magma sentiments.

D2. Eastside Noverus Public High School: (By Amissa) This is your average public high school in Noverus only, being in the poor district, it receives much less funding. Test scores are low and dropout rates are high. Teacher turnover rates are also high. Most of the money that is allotted to the school seems to go into security and posting Magma guards around the building. There has also been pressure to pass rules stating that students cannot bring pokeballs or pokemon to school since there is a great deal of anxiety concerning violence on school grounds. Rebels may consider the school full of poor, uneducated, angry teenagers to be a prime spot for recruitment. Once or twice, some rebel sympathetic teachers have managed to sneak in and teach their version of Noverus history, but they were promptly silenced. This is sort of a neutral civilian area.

D3. Magma Private Academy: (By Amissa) Located near to Groudon's Thumb, the private academy is the preferred school for children who have parents or other family working for Team Magma (and also for Magma members still young enough to be attending school). This particular school is very well funded and is geared especially towards grooming future Team Magma recruits or to help young recruits climb up through the ranks. Students here learn the basics of pokemon battling as well as the usual math and history. Members of Team Magma are sometimes assigned to hold special seminars or classes in order to encourage the students to "fulfill their destiny" and "make their families' proud" by supporting Team Magma in any possible way.

D4. Shady Acres Park: (By Amissa) A nice little park in the suburbs. Here people can find playground equipment, benches, a picnic area, and even large open spaces that are perfect for casual pokemon batting. There are also plenty of wild grassy areas in the park where youngsters can hunt for pokemon. The pokemon here tend to be fairly weak and tame, however, so don't expect too much. A skate-park has recently been built as an addition to the park. This has caused a great deal of controversy: some residents worry that the skate-park will attract the "wrong sort of people". This is a neutral area.

D5. Ember's: (by Eremol) A place for Magma members to kick back and have a drink or two. It is dimly lit, smells of sawdust and onions, and is quite grimy. The owner, Ember Steele, is a cranky, portly woman who takes no nonsense from troublemakers - especially Rebels or Aqua members, who are strictly forbidden. Everyone under twenty-one is also refused entry, and identification must be shown to prove your age (and allegiance). Some of the more colorfully named drinks include the Fuzzy Numel, Ponyta Margarita, and Sol-on-the-Rocks, but one can be as creative as they want. Ember's is located between the Suburbs and the Poor District, and is open from noon until two in the morning.

D6. Relics and More: (by Martial) A small shop wedged in between a seafood bistro and a barbecue centered in the suburbs. There is a crudely made sign hanging by two ropes in the front window of the shop. Under it sits relics and a large amount of trinkets and jewels. The door is kept open by a large rock found somewhere in the forest. The inside is somewhat warehouse-like. Large florescent lights dangle from the ceiling lighting the shop well. It's a narrow room that is only half shop, while the other half is the man who owns the shop's home. The side that has the store has two rows of racks lining the walls and middle of the store. All of the shelves have thick glass around them protecting the relics from being touched or stolen. Inside, there are multiple books and stones. Some are evolution stones that were used long ago. Some are fossils of past Pokemon. Also, many different necklaces and bracelets lay on silk. Some are obviously fit for Pokemon. At the back of the shop is a single counter top with a silver cash register. There is also a staircase that leads to a small basement. Down there are two bunk beds on the walls with a large light hanging in the middle of the room. This is used for guests who are from factions hiding or just looking for a place to sleep.

D7. The Black Dragon: (by Protoman) A saloon filled with bounty hunters, only inviting the toughest peoplein Noverus. Located between the suburbs and the Poor District, most people hire them when they need certain...people taken care of. The owner, Randy "The Dragon" Blackman, is a former Aqua member, turned civilian, which allows everyone open access inside. Only Aquas and some Rebels are allowed into the back of the club, which contains disguises to prevent any conflicts. It is a rather small, robust building and is not exactly a good place for tourists or everyday citizens to go to.

D8: Sapphire Spas: (by Moonlight Zelda) A spa that rests within the Port District. It caters to civilian and organizations alike, if they have the money to pay for the retreats. Like any good spa, they have the entire works - Steaming baths, massages, mud baths, hot rocks, a sauna; you name it, they have it. But also catering to trainers and coordinators, they have rooms that belong to pokemon preparation and meditation. However, there is one catch. Team Aqua owns the spa and the buildings behind it. They keep valuable information with their profits and supplies, and many of the Aqua personnel working there are undercover to pick up the tidbits of information that may waltz right in with the customers. If necessary, they will eliminate potential troublemakers to their cause, one way or another.

E. The Outskirts
The forests surrounding the banks of the river are lush, containing a large array of species of Pokemon. To the north and northeast are numerous mountains and valleys. In the mountains and valleys of the northern areas, several different Pokemon species can be found as well, inhabiting the mineral-rich caves or establishing nests on the steep cliffs. Several dirt roads sprout off from the main paved road, leading toward several scenic areas. However, these areas are not devoid of Magma's presence. Scattered throughout the mountains are weather monitoring stations, established several years ago by Magma to monitor the weather for classified reasons. Team Magma monitors the main road with heavily guarded security checkpoints. Tall fences surround the area, preventing unwanted intruders or worse, fleeing citizens.

E1. Montague Point: (by Vincent Lance) Not too far down the river from Kyogre's Maw, there is a small lake ripe with water stones. The river bypasses it, so this lake is natural and made from rainwater, not fed by any outgoing or incoming sources of water. Surrounding it is thick forests, and a hive of Combee live on the beach. A large Cloyster was spotted in the lake at one point. And, as an extra note, there's a secret Rebel storage unit hidden on the lake somewhere, though it was long abandoned when it was discovered. So, anyone looking to hide something could use it.

E2. Magma's Digsite: (by Martial) Team Magma had recently been discovering that ancient Pokemon may have been more powerful and larger than the Pokemon of today. This has lead to an exploration of the outskirts for any upturned rock or Earth that may contain prehistoric remnants. To do this, they have claimed to have found a "torn up and ruined field" just by the southern end of the bridge. The site is pure brown dirt with no grass. Small weeds sprout from the ground and trees ground around the area. Large cranes are stationed around the hole as well as Team Magma members digging solo. Finally, there is a one story, medium sized building with fossil resurrection and analyzing equipment. Inside are multiple scientists and large chunks of rock believed to be fossils.

E3. The Bungalow Resort: (by IceColdGlaceon) The Bungalow is a neutral area used by all factions as a holiday resort for their members (as well as civilians from Noverus and all of Hoenn). When you enter the door you are immediately greeted by a huge lounge room. At the end of the room, there is a door leading to 2 separate corridors. To the left are storage rooms, battle rooms, and a pokemon center. Each battlefield has an electronic referee, which is activated by a switch on the side of it.

The right corridor leads to the second, third, and fourth floors, all of which have living quarters, including a main kitchen and dining room. Each room is equipped with a double bed, chest of drawers, closet and TV. Round the back is a garage for storing the vehicles guests arrive in. Visitors can also rent vehicles for recreational activities. In case things get too wild with transportation, there is a workshop that will do any repairs that are needed and it will also valet the cars when work is complete.

If your boss was feeling extra generous, you could stay in one of the private waterfront villas in front of the main building. Being more expensive, they have more amenities, including private dock, kitchen in each villa, and more luxurious furnishing. The villas come in various sizes to house between 2-10 people.

Finally, there is an outdoors sports area, where guests can take part in volleyball, boxing, and all manner of activities. The dirt roads behind the resort are perfect for ATV racing, while the river ideal for motorboat racing and yacht parties/fishing. The sandy riverside is perfect for sunbathing, bringing the beach to Noverus.

It's located in the southern portion of the outskirts.

E4. Magma Mines: (by Eremol) When Team Magma first began encroaching on Noverus, they create a long series of tunnels in the northeastern mountains to mine for valuable resources. Since then, the area has become a major asset to Magma, as they minerals and coal they mine help to power their vehicles and factories. Within the mountain is a labyrinth of caves and tunnels, some leading to large rooms where mining equipment is stored, others to dead ends. Pokemon such as Aron and Geodude inhabit these tunnels, and are very wary of the presence of people. Only Magma members stationed in these mines can navigate them without getting lost.

E5. Aqua Mines: (by 2gamers) While the Magmas were exploiting the mineral deposits in the mountains, Team Aqua accessed their own mines within the river. A submarine is required to go through the underwater entrance and to navigate the maze of tunnels. Drill-equipped subs are constantly working to expand the mine system; still, a few remain unfinished. Many tunnels do lead to hidden caves ripe with valuable ores and minerals. It’s not uncommon for water pokemon to take shelter within the mines, though it can get dangerous when an irate gyarados decides to test the strength of a sub.

Team Aqua has also discovered one of their tunnels leads to a fossil bed, dubbed the Abnormal Cavern (by Martial). While under the water, they found a large cavern located just beneath Noverus. This particular tunnel is strange: the water level mysteriously drops. Scientists think this is because of the powers of native psychic pokemon. Upon entering, one would fall from a short waterfall into an underground lake. Next to it is a large amount of empty rocky land. Team Aqua settled there in hopes to continue their exploration, though groups of psychic and water Pokemon often cause trouble for work crews. Still, Team Aqua has made progress on the site, drilling into the walls of the cavern to make storage units for tools. The rest of the cavern is left natural.

E6. Antinanco Forest: (by Martial) This place is a hot spot for pokemon. Not just any pokemon, but flying type pokemon as well as several grass types. Within the forest are multiple nests and berry plants. It is only accessible from the sky because the bottom is closed shut with a dense accumulation of leaves and branches. It is rumored that a shiny pidgeotto lives among the flocks; such a beautiful specimen is highly sought after by collectors and high-ranking leaders. Not many people enter this area for their own safety, though not for lack of trying.

E7. Sunnyside Beach: (by Martial) At the mouth of the river that flows around Noverus is a small beach which few people know of. It was a well-kept family secret for centuries until Team Aqua established operations in Noverus. It all started when Aqua grunt Salty Joe made a bet that he could swim around Noverus without any breaks. He went missing soon afterwards. In search of Joe, Team Aqua discovered the beach and poor Joe’s skeleton. They established the area both as a training area for grunts and as a memorial for Joe.

The sand on the beach is pure with no extra rocks or trash and the water is crystal clear. It is a hot spot for all sorts of water pokemon. About 1000ft from the shore grass starts to grow at a line. It is not a transitional type thing, but an abrupt patch of grass. Behind it are dense forests. Near the grass, a tombstone lies flat on the ground for those who want to pay tribute to Salty Joe. It is now used as a place to catch new Pokemon for grunts.
