「にがいのは いやだ」って…

On top of a hill in the middle of a forest on an island in a lake on another island in the Land of Implausible Descriptions, there is a building.
It looks like it's been abandoned for most of the past ten years. There's a sign saying ESTABLISHED [no date given] next to a pile of newspapers from Jan 2000, as well as a stack of undated empty delivery boxes.
Inside, the air smells faintly of cinnamon, or possibly paprika; it's hard to tell since the most overwhelming scent is dust. It looks like it's been a bit disturbed, but people've wandered in recently, haven't they?
There's a sign in remarkably good shape: [ OUT TO LUNCH; BE BACK IN AN HOUR. LEAVE MONEY IN TIP JAR ]. Said tip jar's nowhere to be found, but on the table, there's a donations box, some reusable plastic bags, a guidebook, and a telephone.
The line's connected to something and it won't hang up.
There's also a sign next to some figurines that move if you touch them.
CLEFAIRY WAS HERE. EVERYONE ELSE IS A LOSER.
IN THE GUIDEBOOK
THE FIELDS OF ... MEAT
The segment's hard to read and looks like it was handwritten by a dyslexic on acid. From what you can tell, it's located directly behind the building and a donation of $4 is requested if anyone wants to plunder it.
The "field" (it's more of a swamp, really) looks about as reliable as your weird uncle Hank's day job, but at least you've got your trusty Pokémon with you. ... You did bring something with you, didn't you?
Well, let's just hope it's intimidating enough that nothing will bother you. No one's giving you any pokéballs, after all.
Pokémon Found
You've found poochyena, mightyena, gastly, meowth, seviper, stunky, murkrow, grimer, wynaut, wobbuffet, koffing, bacon, and a pit trap. There's probably more.
THE NIGORI CAVES
Located somewhere in the Fields of Meat, the Nigori Caves are known for the ... diversity ... of Pokémon species. It's apparently well-known in a few circles for its geothermal activity; unfortunately, those circles almost certainly don't intersect with yours.
From what you can tell, you should definitely bring a Pokémon. It's dark and noisy and someone's expecting a donation of $5 for each visit.
By the entrance, there's a sign advertising a collection drive for star pieces and cleanse tags. It might be worth your time; of course, that assumes that whoever put up the sign returns anytime soon....
Pokémon Found
You've only found some zubat, numel, poochyena, loudred, and growlithe so far. How depressing. ... You've also found some stardust (someone might be able to glue it back into a star piece) and a shard of something red.
THE FEY MANSE
There are (were?) no tours offered; there's not even a map. From the sounds of it, the only reason the book lists it's that it's the single most haunted building on the property. It's also called "the new Roswell" since people keep spotting UFOs, but you're a bit of a skeptic and rightfully so.
The picture shows a decrepit mansion; the roof's fallen in and it's overrun with ivy and bamboo. It seems somehow lifeless in a way the hobogarden doesn't.
Something big's out there, and it's not all ghosts.
Pokémon Found
... We'll get back to this.
The rest of the book is glued together. It might be possible to fix it, but it will take some time.
INSIDE THE BUILDING ITSELF
Down the stairs, there's a garden. This would normally be a completely terrible idea, but someone's spent a lot of time and energy maintaining plant lights over it. Still, the garden looks pathetic. It'd be nearly-barren if someone hadn't planted bamboo throughout most of it. You're pretty sure you see Pokémon in it, but odds are they're only bugs and weeds. Still, it's something.
Someone's trying to take a nap on a chair at the foot of the stairs. He's leaning on an actual tip jar-shape, labeled "TIPS ARE GOOD, BUT $3 FOR A POKEMON IS BETTER", though it might be more accurate to call it a tip barrel. It's filled with bottlecaps.
He sighs and doesn't bother to ask to be kept updated; something's bothering him.
Pokémon Found
There're other fish in the sea, but you've wurmple, budew, carnivine, silcoon, and drowzee so far.
(( OOC NOTES: I am so much happier if you lean towards the RP side in your posts. ... Also, knowing what's going on in this thread isn't required at all. :B I barely do, most of the time. ... First post changes close to daily. ))
