Vallieheight

September 20, 1981. 6:20PM.
(To Valieheight!)

After a very long train ride, Maxwell and Celosia had finally arrived at Valieheight City for the beginners' tournament. They stepped out of the train and they were greeted with the view of a very tall mountain!

~<❤️Valieheight 💙>~
(People like world building!)
Just like any valley, Valieheight is at the foot of two very tall mountains, both of them measuring over 3,000ft. tall! These two mountains (Mount Rosa and Mount Violette) have a lot of visitors every year, and they're both tourist attractions in the region.
Even though it's a tourist attraction the actual city of Valieheight isn't crowded or anything like that. It's a very peaceful place, filled with tons of markets and bakeries to stuff your face with. The signature dish of Valieheight City is the Rosalette Offering, which is a cinnamon roll-like dessert stuffed full of jelly from both Razz and Bluk berries to represent the two mountains of Valieheight. The dessert is filled with jelly, rolled up into a bun, sprinkled with powdered sugar and then served with ice cream, making for a lovely treat!

Since the governor of the region wanted to bring more people to Valieheight, he decided to open up a small tournament, which ended up being quite popular!
May you enjoy your stay!

"Oh wow...that's a tall one! Looks like we're here, Nichi" Maxwell said, picking up his tired moth companion and letting her perch on his head.

Celosia yawns and rubs her eye, gasping once she sees the twin mountains of Valieheight "Wow...They are gorgeous!" She said, her wings glowing brighter. The view motivated her to stay awake just so she could look.

As they walked out of the train station, the smell of fresh bread hit their faces almost immediately after they opened the door! It was one of the city's local bakeries, which had just finished baking its first batch of Rosalettes. Next to the bakery, there was an ice cream shop! Valians take their desserts VERY SERIOUSLY, so every single bakery in the city had an ice cream shop somewhere near it. This way, people could eat Rosalette Offerings like they're supposed to be eaten.

Max's mouth waters, smelling the pleasant aroma of food. "Ohhh jeez...that smells amazing. Nich, I'm guessing you're interested too?" He asked , hoping to God that she'd say yes,

Celosia could smell the jam, the crust...if she listened carefully enough, she could even hear the sound of the baker sprinkling the powdered sugar. She couldn't possibly say no! In fact, she was too impatient to wait for Max to walk there! She flew straight in, perching on top of a chair right near the front counter.

The baker turned around and saw the large moth, which gave him quite a spook! He dropped his glasses, his old eyes not being able to see where he was going. "Myeh!! Get outa my shop you flying demon!!" He yelled, swinging a whisk around like a sword.

Celosia tilted her head and looked around, confused as to what he was talking about "Demon? Where? I do not see anything..." she said, a little concerned for the old man's mental health.

Max ran in and saw the racket going on inside the bakery "Ah shoot...Nichi, you scared someone again! You need to be less intense with people" He said, shooing Celosia off the chair so she wouldn't get bonked by a whisk.

Celosia backed up like she was told, feeling a little ashamed for scaring the baker. "Oh...The demon is me..."

The baker's daughter ran in with a rolling pin, a very angry-looking azurill following behind her. "The heck is going on out here?!" She yelled, seeing her dad thrashing around with a whisk.
