fhlogsIt happens overnight on the Western continent.
Blau Town has returned.
For those not native to Gaia, that won’t initially mean much. For long-time residents, it also may not mean much ... unless you either live in the area or were part of Shinra.
Sephiroth remembers it well, that mission he and Zack took so many years ago to investigate the strange town and its stranger animals, not available anywhere else on Gaia: Pichu, Meowth, Eevee, etc.... The Science Department wanted to know about them, but Sephiroth especially didn’t want Hojo anywhere near them. He knew no good would come of that. He and Zack protected the town and it ended up vanishing by the time Shinra sent researchers out to follow up on the investigation.
Vanishing?
You see, Blau Town appears and disappears at the will of the town itself, not unlike Brigadoon, the residents explain. Everyone is welcome to explore and make friends with the Pokemon animals, which work with the humans to make it a beautiful place. And if any wild Pokemon choose to go with the visitors, that’s fine too.
However, the residents can’t control when the town will vanish again. It goes back and forth between Gaia and Earth, and anyone who’s with it at the time it vanishes will be stuck on the other world indefinitely.
With teleportation off-Planet currently wonky, will Blau Town still vanish? They’re not sure. But anyone visiting had better be cautious, just in case. Would suddenly getting stranded in the Oregon wilderness be better or worse than being on Gaia?
...
Who can say.
OOC Info
Pokemon are here!
Everyone in-game is now allowed to explore Blau Town, which looks like an old German village, and befriend Pokemon ... within reason, of course! Characters can have up to six Pokemon each, for now. There are no Pokeballs, as Blau Town doesn’t believe in them, so everyone will be kicking it old school like the clans in Legends Arceus who befriend Pokemon without needing to catch them or put them away.
Which Pokemon are available? Well, the main ones hanging around are also old-school: Kanto and Johto, for the most part, but if you look hard enough, you’ll probably find any kind of Pokemon you want in either the town itself or the forests and mountains that are part of its area. All Eevee family members are around, for instance.
How long will this last? Well, for now it will be a permanent fixture in the game and Blau Town will likely stay parked for a while. If it goes, some Pokemon will still hang around the area anyway, having made Gaia their new home.
Players can make top-levels on this post or create their own logs. Bring home a new friend today!

OPEN TO ALL ESPECIALLY SQUALL AND SEIFER <3
There was one that she had her eyes on, yellow and electrified. As she spoke to those in town, she learned that you could train these creatures to fight each other and become your pets. You could become something called a Pokemon Trainer. The prospect excited her but at the same time? She didn't want the poor creatures to fight unless there was good reason.
Wasn't it the same as dog fighting? or cock fighting? Neither were good for the animals. She bent down in the tall grass and watched as the Pikachu, she was told that's what it was called, stood it's ground against a Raichu. They were fighting over food and territory apparently. "Hmm....," she hummed to herself quietly, sneaking through the grass and getting closer. She had bought a pokeball as a test, either Pokemon would do but she really wanted a Pikachu. They were adorable!
