Loomian Legacy Veils of Shadow

Thane and Embit Spread Their Wings!

Thane didn't go to Route 1 straight away like he said. Shortly after leaving the lab, he realized he would need more supplies for his journey, so he made a quick stop back home. While Embit explored the house, Thane got one of his mother's bags from her journey and packed some things, including clothes, food for him and his Embit, his yarn and hooks, a sleeping bag, and anything else he found useful and could fit in the bag. His family didn't actually own a tent, though, but he would cross that bridge when he got there. Once he was satisfied with his provisions, he grabbed his bag and scooped up Embit before walking out, finally ready to hit the road.

Thane crossed the small bridge leading out of Mitis Town and began walking down the path. Route 1 was a relatively short route that connected Mitis Town to Cheshma Town. The path was surrounded by a cluster of trees populated by some weak bug Loomians and Twilat, there were also Twittle who called Route 1 home. At most, Thane could expect a forty-minute walk. He turned to Embit with a smile, "Excited, buddy?" Embit nodded enthusiastically and pumped his fist in the air. "Alright, let's see if we can get to Cheshma faster! Come on!" Thane and Embit settled into a slow trot, but then someone stepped out from behind a tree and into their path.

Thane skidded to a stop and stared at the newcomer. It was a young boy in a blue T-shirt and shorts. He had brown hair and wore a blue baseball cap backward. "Hey, you!" The boy called out challenging. "What's up?" Thane responded warmly. The boy's gaze was confident as he pulled out a Capture Disc. "My name is Jeremy, and I'm going to be the best trainer in the world one day!" He declared. "I've been coming out here every day to challenge all the wild Loomians and trainers!" Jeremy's eye landed on Embit. "I see you're a trainer, so I challenge you, money on the line!" He challenged Thane. Before Thane could protest, Jeremy threw the disc, revealing a Twilat.

Thane quickly opened the Loomipedia App and pointed the watch at Twilat. "Twilat, the Mouse Loomian. It is a Typeless Loomian and the pre-evolved form of either Luxoar or Umbrat. Often found hopping through fields, they use their powerful legs to escape predators." Thane closed the app and looked down at Embit. "You in, buddy?" Embit nodded eagerly and jumped in front of his trainer.

Jeremy started the battle. "Use Gnaw!" "Go, Pounce!" Both Loomians collided, with Twilat getting a bite into Embit's shoulder, cashing the Rabbit Loomian to wince. "Singe!" Thane commanded. Embit fell his core heating up and he quickly opened his mouth to fire a small burst of fire straight into Twilat. "Pounce!" Embit quickly followed up by tossing Twilat into the air and tackling it mid-air, knocking it out.

"Yes! We did it!" Thane and Embit cheered while Jeremy returned his fallen Loomian. As common courtesy dictated, if you challenged another trainer to a battle with money on the line, you had to pay up. Thane, however, didn't want to take much or any money from the kid. Finally, he accepted a Ten Loomicoin Bill which was forced into his hands by Jeremy. Then, the cheerful kid wandered off to look for his next opponent, and Thane went his own separate way.

Five minutes later, Thane and Embit stopped for a quick break. Thane treated Embit's bite and pulled out a small berry to feed Embit. The Loomian took it and quickly devoured it in delight, then he turned to his trainer and begged for more. Thane, unable to resist the demands of his Loomian, pulled out another piece of fruit and began handing it to Embit. Suddenly, a small, green and white form flew in between them and snatched the fruit from Thane's hand, scratching him in the process. "Hey!" Thane yelped while clutching his now bleeding hand while Embit cried in anger at his stolen fruit and for his hurt friend.

Both of them looked up to see a small bird Loomian. It was mostly light green with a white underbody, light red-tipped wings, an orange beak and small talons, and big black eyes. She gazed down at them with amusement before popping the berry into his mouth, juices dribbling from her beak as she bit into it. Embit cried out, devastated, and Thane pointed his watch at her. "Twittle, the Bird Loomian. It is an Air Type Loomian and the pre-evolved form of Paratweet. The color of a Twittle's feathers is affected by its diet. In Roria, they consume lots of fruit." Twittle chirped at them mockingly and then prepared to take flight, but Embit wouldn't let her get away after it had stained his and his trainer's honor.
