Vinmur

You get your first good look at Vinmur from the air, as it sits beside a wide river, at the far end of a bay. It's a surprisingly modern city, with buildings lined up in a regular grid pattern. It's downtown area is composed of skyscraper, none of them looking older than a decade old. The smaller buildings surrounding them also seems quite new, some being under construction right now, in fact. The rocky plains surrounding the town has little vegetation, but you notice that even the trees near the city seems younger than the ones further away.

Looking further away in the bay, you spot a few large islands, with a few low gray buildings on them.

Seymour watched their approach through the window with excitement. The place was all fresh and new, in more way than one! He wondered what sorts of pokemon, trainers, and even stores and restaurants they might encounter here.

As they came in for a landing, he asked Jakey, "What should we do first? Relax a bit, or head straight for the nearest gym?" Either way, he figured they would make a stop at a pokemon center first. Get their pokemon checked out after their recent adventure and make any team swaps they needed.

"Dang, this is bigger than home. I wonder if any Kanto city is this BIG."

Jake then pointed to one of the skyscrapers,
"No way I would jump out of THAT top floor. I bet they used one of the cool glass pokemon they have here to help build it fast."

As for what to do first,
"I want to go to the top of the tallest building. Maybe get our pokemon check-up first, but I want a fetcher-eye view of the city, that would be totally cool!"

Major Kaufman talks with one of his assistants, before turning back to you. "Alright, I got you two a room at a local hotel. Dinner included. After the work you did today, you've earned it. Come back to the gym tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you." With a salute, he heads to a police station that looks reinforced enough to serve as a bunker.

You head out into the city, finding the directions to the hotel with your Pokédex. As you walk down the street, you notice a lot of people are wearing a weird form of Punk fashion, in bright yellow rather than the usual black.

"A hotel room? Awesome!" exclaimed Seymour as they parted ways with Major Kaufman. He was eager to meet up again at the gym the next day, but was also excited to relax in a free hotel room for the night. Seymour wondered if it would be fancy. One where Glumpy and Glade could sun themselves on a balcony, and Marigold and Jett could soak in a jacuzzi. And he and Malley and Locke could channel surf on the couch or something.

Seymour realized his daydreams probably weren't super realistic though. Especially since they likely wouldn't even spend a ton of time awake in the hotel room anyway. They had a whole new city to explore!

After making their quick stop at the local pokecenter, Seymour couldn't help but notice the odd local fashions. "I wonder how that fashion trend started," Seymour wondered to Jakey aloud. He examined the style with curiosity, wondering briefly if it was a style he might like to adopt himself. It would certainly be a stark contrast to his usual attire. "It must be related to something local, because we haven't seen it anywhere else. At least not that I have noticed."

Jake grinned as free lodging was given. It was almost like when he did some unofficial housesitting back in the day, but this time the police were providing rather than chasing him out.
As they walked down the street, Jake did not seem too impressed by the style,
"Posers, the lot of them. Gotta wear something more casual if you are getting up to trouble. These ones just want to look like they are trouble. I mean, imagine raising hell, then the police will take one look at you and know exactly who your mum is."
"I guess it is pretty cool if they aren't up to trouble though. But why bother breaking the laws of style without breaking all the laws too?"

Jake's tone was more jocular than serious. He'd been nothing but a law-abiding citi immig tourist ever since he arrived.

Reaching the hotel, you notice a poster that seems linked to the strange fashion. A poster announces an upcoming concerts by 'The King', who wears a flashy gold/yellow attire that include a weird mask, and who poses with two Gholdengo dancers behind him. You don't recall seeing him before, but it seems he's very popular here.

The hotel isn't a high-end luxury hotel, but it's a pretty classic hotel for tourist and travelers, offering comfortable rooms at affordable price. You have a nice two-bedroom chamber to rest in, with a catering menu if you feel like calling room service.

As you consider what to do, Seymour's Pokédex rings, signaling an incoming call.
