Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nestled in the bosom of the Mt. Spreag, the Doracha Caverns are the easiest pathway to get to the mainland. Branching off into a massive labyrinth of natural tunnels, it is far warmer in here than it is outside. This is mostly due to the multitude of gases coming from Mt. Spreag, which is in fact an active volcano. To avoid heading into the more dangerous areas of the volcano, signs and lights had been hung around to try and keep travelers safe. Unfortunately, there are still those who get lost within the caverns and their fates remain unknown.

On the other side of the Doracha Caverns, rests a small road leading either to the resort city of Dul Amu or Route 63. Along the road, there is a small farming community that seems take advantage of how close to the coast they are. There are also a few small stores and businesses that enjoy the isolation from the much larger cities. Around this area, there is an unusually large amount of Apricorn trees growing all around. Many of tourists visiting Dul Amu tend to come down here to pick up some Apricorns for consumption. Rumor has it though that someone around this area can use the locally grown Apricorns to make special Pokeballs.

Points of Interest:

Apricorn Farm: Run by a family that had been on their plot of land for decades, this farm makes a profit off of selling the Apricorns that grow on their land. Unlike in other regions, these Apricorns are strictly an odd light blue coloring. It's hard to tell if this is because of the climate difference or if these are a different kind of apricorn entirely. They sell them rather cheap though, but are limited to how many they can sell a day.

Once you are past the little communities of Route 62, you'll arrive at an open clearing of Route 63. This leads to the start of a forest that goes past the next two locations. This route is significantly warmer, so those who dislike the cold can rejoice! A river flows through this route, where one can find wild Poliwag playing and Magikarp doing their thing. Many Fishermen relax here for casual sport, but they do enjoy killing time with battles. Within the forest wild Deerling frolic, and the faint smell of hot springs lead many adventurers and couples off the well worn trails. Trainers should be well prepared to fight for their right to soak, as couples are known to be pushy when they find a spring. Farther ahead is Foraois City for those who can deny themselves the pleasure of the hot springs.

The pleasant warmth and good weather makes Foraois the ideal place to grow crops. Most of the residents here grow their own food, along with food for the rest of the region. Several farms are just at the edge of the city limits, along with a very quaint produce market. Many locals grow their own crops in community greenhouses or privately owned houses. In general the city has a very cozy aura, which makes it the perfect place for a Pokemon Day-Care. The gym here specialized in Grass types, which is no surprise given the nature of the town.

Points of Interest:

Day-Care: The day-care is a double whammy of cute baby pokemon and young children. Togepi, Chingling, Elekid, Magby, Riolu and Mime Jr. can be retrieved here from the breeders. The building itself is very cheerful, with a red brick two story building covered in child-like murals, with a garden/playground to the side of the building for Pokemon and children to play together.

Foraois Gym: The grass specialty gym is a rather large closed ecological system/bio-dome that juts out of the side of the nearby mountain. Visitors are encouraged to take part in tours if they are not visiting to view or enter the gym challenge. The Foraois Gym also doubles as a rehabilitation center for injured grass Pokemon.

Known as the "Natural Maze of Citra", Milist Forest has many different paths leading to Route 64. Each of these different trails goes through what almost is seemingly a different location each time. However, no matter what trail is taken, the massive forest is still easy to get lost within.

Even a blind man can tell that Reoite runs off of the funds from the Westall Family. This is the biggest city in the region, only second in prosperity to Dul Amu. It is obvious that the city is entirely dependent on the greedy Westall Reoite is also home to an orphanage, which may or may not have been taken over by a rogue gang that likes to terrorize the Westall family and do what ever they please in and out of Reoite City limits. The only thing not owned by the Westall family is the Reoite Gym, which is run by a different family and specializes in the use of Ice pokemon.

Points of Interest:

St. Bernard's Orphanage- A four story red brick building covered in ivy. It is surrounded by a large brick fence and metal gate with 2 Arcanine statues to greet all who enter. A large Arcanine named St. Bernard also acts as a friend and protector of the orphanage. The Winchester family runs it fairly well despite being in the middle of the slums. There are rumors that a troublesome gang has made it their main hangout. However it is often hard to tell due to the fact that gang members are all over the slums.

Reoite Gym- The gym is designed to be a skating rink(actually a general sports center) for the youth of the slums. It is run by a family that is in no way related to the Westalls. The family enjoys giving lessons to help keep the children from getting into too much trouble. The skating rink can easily be changed into a different type of rink for battles. This one involves two safe platforms for battlers, icy blocks for pokemon to stand on floating on incredibly chilly water. No need to worry for the audience! They are protected by incredibly thick glass so that they can safely view the battle. Occasionally gang members loiter outside, giving juice or water to trainers who best them in battle. The gym also likes to showcase their battles, using it to teach about pokemon when they can.

Last Stop- A very tragic diner that has been made from a renovated train car. The beat up train car has been spray painted with all kinds of graffiti, but it offers a "family friendly" menu and atmosphere, where kids eat free! There is a rumor that the food is less than tasty, but never mind that.

Purrsian Puré- An incredibly upscale restaurant with a wait list 6 months long. Only the most famous and powerful people are able to get in without a reservation. Puré even turned it's nose up to a former champion of an outside region, which might be the cause of certain thugs hanging out by the restaurant, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting socialites to rob them of their money. Any young trainers certainly don't have much of a chance to dine here.

This route was a small neighborhood in development once upon a time. Now it's been reclaimed by nature due to an "infestation". The route is commonly described to have a very serene, calming vibe. But that soon goes away when you come across a very large, pack of feral dog pokemon. No one knows how they ended up there, but any trainer who manages to catch one will have their hands full training it.

A man made route that leads directly to the Westall Family Mansion. There is not a lot here aside from the family’s garden, which is almost always frozen due to the cold temperatures. The route is mostly just a semi-icy stone path covered with snow topped pine trees. The pokemon that are here are looking for a safe haven from the pokemon in Route 66.

An elegant, modern style mansion made from bricks with varying shades of blue, the gates of the mansion are open to trainers who wish to check out the pokemon that can be seen wandering in the ice garden. The Ice Garden is filled with amazing ice sculptures, most certainly made by someone with above average artistic skill with ice. The pride of the Westall Mansion is a very impressive maze of snow, ice, and plants. It has earned the family numerous awards, and tours are offered at a small fee to aid upkeep of the garden and the cost of feeding the wild and tame pokemon that inhabit it. A Rock in the center of the garden shares the same characteristics of a rock in the Sinnoh Region, allowing Eevee around it to evolve into Glaceon. However the center of the maze is difficult to reach, so only the cleverest of trainers are able to find it. The inside of the mansion is even more amazing or so it's said, though few have the chance to see the interior aside from high society class people, and those who attend the annual ball.

This is a very tranquil route compared to the dog infested trail. This area is a frozen tundra, protected by the region as a national park of sorts for the wild pokemon. A failed railway winds its way through, with a beaten up, frozen over crimson train that is suspiciously missing the middle car. Young trainers should beware of the herd of buffalo pokemon on this trail, they like to be hot headed if you get too close to their children.

Talamh is the coldest city in the region, but it is also the artsiest! It is home to the Citra Natural History Museum, crystal jewelry stores, mining shops, drunk painting classes, and more! Talamh is said to be built in the center of Citra, and it certainly showcases that as the home of the Gale Troupe's circus act! They host a show every few days, and every so often they leave to go on tour through out the region with miniature versions of their performances. Trainers can also rejoice, not only is Talamh a wonderful place to relax and have fun, but it is also the location of the next gym. The Talamh gym boasts of their use of ground types.

Points of Interest:

Citra Natural History Museum- Anyone with an interest in learning the history of Citra is welcome here! Scientists roam the halls giving educated tours on everything from the natural foliage of the region, to fossils found in the abandoned mines. If you're lucky, you'll find a fossil in the gift shop's mining attraction and can reanimate it for a small fee that goes towards keeping the museum in tip top shape!

Talamh Indoor PokéPark- This attraction is a branch of the CNHM, and is built on an old quarry, and is made up of several, temperature controlled bio-domes in the shape of different pokemon depending upon the climate of the building. On the inside is many different areas, from pleasant parks, warm mountain themed rooms, to an ice rink, and finally the ever popular pool! If you forgot your bathing suit, don't fret, the park offers rental bathing suits for a small fee. It's not bad considering the park is free to enter and runs off donations like the Museum.

Talamh Indoor Safari Park- A recent expansion of the CNHM, this is a multi-floored building that acts as an indoor Safari Zone of sorts. With on site bred Pokemon roaming the three biomes that are emulated inside, guests can pay to go catch some more docile wild Pokemon inside. On the first floor, there is a swamp biome, the second is a rainforest, and the third is a desert. You are not allowed to battle with your Pokemon inside. Any damage to the structure is a fine of at least 50,000.
Catchable Pokemon-


Rocky's Indoor Mining Experience- A totally not sketchy place to mine for rare and pretty crystals. Old Rocky has big talk of many trainers finding more evolutionary stones in his piles of dirt that the Museum, and has pictures on his wall of trainers that find rare stones. Keep in mind that he only has one picture and it is from another region 20 years ago...

Gale Troupe Circus- Having been erected less than ten years prior, the Gale Troupe Circus is a special show that has taken roots within Talamh City. Using an abandoned mining facility to set up their ideal location, it initially had been the city's greatest pride after the mining facilities had shut down. Most of the performers having been children of the miners that had been lost in the collapse of the main veins to the North, the orphans gathered under the infamous ringmaster "Masque du Pierrot". With time though, the show has gotten a bit more risky and flashy. Mysteriously acquiring a large number of oddly colored Pokemon, their acts had begun incorporating the oddities. Rumors begun after this that the show had become corrupt and the Pokemon were obtained through morally questionable means. If this is true or not, it is unknown. However, the Gale Troupe Circus' performers still carry the same happy and welcoming smiles upon their faces that they wore a decade prior, even if many of them have either been replaced or freshly recruited.

If you can manage to tear yourself away from the city, there are three exits...

North of the capital leads to a rocky road, and not one of the sweet variety. Actually the road is more of a slope to the nearby canyon. Over time as Talamh became larger, this route became a slope, making it easier for supplies to be brought into the city from the canyon. Several families have made homes into the rocks, sharing a literal hole in the wall with wild pokemon that help protect the families from wild deino in exchange for love and food.

Abandoned as a mine only recently, these man-made caverns were once one of Citra's main resource for capital. After an accident involving the mines collapsing and a few dozen miner's lives being lost, they were shut down. The Papillon family then disappeared after the event nearly twenty years ago, leaving the mines unattended. Since then, many Pokemon had taken up roots within the abandoned facilities. To the wonder of any explorers who go inside, the power within the mines is still on. Perhaps someone or something is still living there with the Pokemon? It's hard to say, but with the collapse of the caverns, something new was unearthed...

To the south of Talamh lies an old farm road that leads towards the Taelis market. That being said, it is not considered uncommon to see many people on the road with their goods ro buy and sell at the market. Many wild pokemon are on this route as well, so be wary of picking up dropped items that fall off the road! Somewhere along the route is a mountain trail that leads to a series of hot springs that are famed for their comfort and color.

Peony Hot Spring
A shallow spring with soft pink water that is perfect for first timers and young children. It is also popular to throw coins inside for good luck!

Dragon Root Hot Spring
By far the hottest of the springs, this red colored spring is popular with the athletic and tough crowds for it's ability to soothe aches and pains in no time!

Lotus Hot Spring
The largest of the springs, this purple spring is popular with humans and pokemon alike. It is just right for those who are like Goldilocks when it comes to temperature.

Set up at the base of a mountain near the river, the Taelis Market served as a main trading post for a long time. Now it is mainly where many of stores in Citra, especially Talahm and Reoite get their fresh produce. The market is also a place where livestock pokemon are sold.

Isolated from most of the region by the mountains that surround Listi Valley, Taelis Town is part of an area of the region called the Taelis Mountains. Named after the original group of nomads that settled in the valley, the area has retained it's nature as an abundant farming community. Most of the produce that is sold at the Taelis Market comes from here. Due to the abnormally tolerable weather, they are able to continue farming all year round, but it is unknown as to why this part of the region is safe from the barrage of snowstorms. The valley itself is green, with chilly, dry air. One can become warm if they catch a sunny spot, but those who aren't used to the altitude should be on the watch for nosebleeds!

Points of Interest:

Taelis Town- Located at the center of the valley, it is a healthy town with a spatter of farms and other homes on the outskirts. Taelis is home to a rather interesting obstacle race, where the locals ride bareback. Pokemon can be rented to outsiders, but cheating is not allowed. Few locals have stories of trainers entering with their pokemon and cheating, only to have their pokeballs smashed and the pokemon released into the wild. Taelis in general highly values honesty, so those who like to play dirty, would do best to play fair.

To the east of Talamh, two roads go up a high, frightening mountain. One road is a simple trail for roads and climbers, however the higher you climb, the more dangerous the weather gets. The Citra League highly recommends that everyone takes the second road, which is a railroad that was reopened by the Westall Family. The train is not much safer due to sharp turns, however it is considerably warmer and faster than braving the weather.

This used to be the old mansion of the Papillon family, before they moved closer to the city they raised up from nearly nothing. What used to be a lovely and beautiful three story mansion has started falling to pieces, breaking down as time and cold set in on the infrastructure. There are many rumors of people breaking in for demonic and evil reasons, unfortunately there have been cases of pokemon and human carcasses being removed from the mansion. It has an incredibly disturbing aura. Despite all of this, people still like to explore the mansion, though sounds can be heard from inside the place from time to time..

At first, this route seems quite peaceful. Unfortunately when the sun sets, storms frequently clash against the land. Never fear! The train you took to go up the mountain to the mansion is more than happy to guide you back down if you so choose. A mixture rain sleet, snow, and hail frequently pours from the sky, so don't count on any mail getting delivered. Lightning strikes mercilessly during these storms, and the thunder applauds its sibling every time. The conductor of the train swears he's seen the thunder rupture an ear drum or two. Eventually, the storms pass and passengers are greeted with an icy, seaside view of Crua Bay.

Crua Bay was never intended to be a town, simply a port for ships to stock up on supplies and fuel. But over time it's become a pleasant strip of shops and fueling stations. It's become rather famous for it's "Fish Strip", a string of restaurants that boast great seafood, however they've yet to have good reviews and health inspectors haven't lived to tell the tail. For anyone who wishes to test their relationship with Lady Luck, look no farther than the Game Corner! Don't lose all your coins!

Points of Interest:

Game Corner- A totally not shifty place to gamble and earn prizes! Young trainers are allowed in here, and for the low low price of $99,999,999, you get a totally solid gold coin case!

The Leaky Dewgong- The largest of the seafood diners in Crua Bay. It has also produced the most food related hospital trips in the region. Menus aren't a thing here, the waiters give you what ever is being served that day, and spray you with water guns if you argue. The door MAY be duct taped together from the occasional sailor brawl. Saw dust and wood chips also cover the entire floor to make cleaning up messes easier. Bring your own hand sanitizer.

Finally, solid land! Look, actual green grass! Better thank Junichi Masuda that you made it across those ice floes. This Route is just a single pathway through the grassy plains. Most of these plains are covered in soft fluffy snow. Though the air is still a little chilly, Route 78 North is more gentle than the past routes, earning it a reputation as being a fun place for snowball fights! The farther you travel along the route, the more open and slightly warmer the weather becomes...

Nearing the resort city, the air is getting warmer again. You'll start running into trainers more often as well. But the scenery remains mainly the same as Route 78 with green grass and the occasional tree or bush.

Welcome to the lovely resort city of Dul Amu! This jewel of Citra is an absolute must see! Most of the economy here is from tourists and the Grand Canivale held once a year. This is also the second warmest place within all of Citra, so be sure to get some warmth back into your bones! Though this city is mostly known for the Grand Carnivale, there's also a Gym here which specializes in Psychic types. Besides that, there's also a place which has abandoned pokemon up for adoption. You can find pokemon that aren't found within the region here. Dul Amu is also a hot spot for celebrity sightings! The visitor center hands out fee autograph books, and the rumor is that if you fill it up you get a special prize! I wonder what it could be?

On the southern end of the city, there is a private beach where only people staying at the resort can visit, except in the off season. Visiting time seems to be anytime other than the peak of summer because of the rather cold water temperature. The ritzy hotels however have heated pools, or so the rumors go...

Points of Interest:

Grand Carnivale- A huge festival put together by the descendants of settlers from Kalos. Past highlights have included contests, pageants, and parades! It is only held once a year, so be sure to enjoy it to the max!

Adoption Center- Pokemon who need homes can be found here! Not just anyone can adopt, the committee who runs the shelter do thorough investigations of prospective trainers to ensure that the pokemon will be happy!

Private Beach- ATTENTION! Only resort guests are allowed here! Anyone caught trespassing will be heavily fined and may be forced to help clean up the beach after hours. No fear, if you bribe security with refreshing snacks or that good old dinero you can enjoy the beach! Or so some locals say...

Dul Amu Gym- This psychic gym is located uptown in a gigantic skyscraper that has an equally huge monitor on it. The gym likes to broadcast battles to everyone outside. Tickets are also sold that go to benefit the local adoption center and towards keeping the beach clean.

This is the absolute final stretch until you reach your final goal, however the water's temperature is cold enough to cause major frostbite. The Pokemon on this route are all fully evolved, and if that's not pleasant enough, the only land is icebergs. The Hydreigon on this Route are insanely tough, you’d think they’d be a good catch, but most of them are extremely difficult to tame effectively for trainer battles. Many rivals with sturdy footing will surprise you here trainers, but fight on! You've almost got it made for challenging the Champion and Elite Four!

Founded only a decade prior, Bua City is the home of Citra's top dog trainers. Gathering from all across the region, they created and influenced the economy of this battle hungry city. Making many battling based facilities akin to those found in Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Johto, this is Citra's own Battle Frontier. However, when the Pokemon League of Citra starts up everything is put on hold. Turning their fair city into a huge festival, they welcome those individuals brave enough to gather all eight of Citra's Pokemon League Badges and honor them with access to everything for free. People who came to just see the league are not as fortunate and are still expected to pay.

This island across from the area of Inis Town is quite mysterious indeed. Entirely surrounded by whirlpools with barely any way to the island itself. You can't really approach it by air either due to the extremely violent storm nearly always in effect about it. However, even the most skilled trainers get a chill down their spines just looking over at it. For those that can reach this island, it's a super popular spot for exploring! Locals from around Citra spread tales of hidden treasures or oddly colored pokemon, and a few magazines have even named it the #2 place to confess your love successfully! (Maybe because the other person is afraid of being left on the island?) Trainers should keep in mind that the League does not officially promote trivial expeditions to islands surrounded by whirlpools.
