This Mafia is called the Kloiku. Their members are heartless, and will get rid of their own if needed. The members of the Inner Ring are a very close knit group...

Ishball Island
[ ]The Lab
The Ishball Island Pokemon Lab lies on the outskirts of Ishball City. It is a two story building, painted an off-white color with deep green shutters and trim. On the front of the Lab, there's a porch made of wood that has been stained a tawny color. The rails are high, to keep people from falling off the two foot drop. It's an enclosed porch, which provides shade in the summer heat. There isn't much of a front yard, but the back in surrounded by a white fence, which extends for miles. As a matter of fact, the Lab used to be a ranch house back in the day. It looks, and feels, a lot like home.

Here is where all trainers entering the region begin their journey. They will be given a PokeDex, a Map, and if they need one, their very first Pokemon by either Professor Lana, Professor Tiaki, the Aide Kotoru, or a combination of the three.

[ ]Ishball City (4 sub-boards)
As the capital city of Ishball, Ishball city is a busy metrapolis filled with towering sky scrapers, department stores, and some old fashioned house/shop combinations. Most people choose to walk, but there is a bike shop located within the city. First time visiters should head to the unique restaurants that specialize in Ishballan cuisine. There's even a street full of vendors and street preformers. If you head towards the port, the buildings get older, and the paved streets become a mess of cobblestones. That is the Red district, named for the brick houses and shops. It's the only place in the entire city where family buisnesses are still run the way they were hundreds of years ago, with a few modern twists of course.
The city is always buzzing with people. There's a rumor that Ishball City is more enjoyable after the sun sets...

On the northwest side of the island, on top of a grassy hill, sits a mansion of white marble. Ivy has started to creep up the walls, and the grass around it is long. The double doors are made out of a heavy black wood. Yes. Black wood. The knockers are silver, carved into the shape of a Skybreon's head. The attention to detail is remarkable.
Be warned. An errie presence is sometimes known to hang over the manor. And sometimes, a voice can be heard coming from inside...

[ ]The Palm Forest (2 sub-boards)
On the north side of the island there lies a large palm forest. It's a mixture of dense trees, like palmetto, oak, and palm trees. Mostly palm and palmetto trees. There are large clearing and patches of sunlight. The pokemon here are very curious. Many are strong as well. But be warned, this forest is protected by a mysterious guardian.
Those who enter the Palm Forest after sunset never return. Many say it's because of the soul stealing pokemon...
Brave trainers are more then welcome to wander through the forest to the small beach on the other side...so long as they don't get lost within the maze of trees.

On the south side of the island a beautiful white sand beach spreads for miles. This beach is very popular among tourists. It is also a great place to go fishing, as there's very little boat traffic to frighten away the pokemon.

[ ]The Port
The port. Located in Ishball City's Red district. It's a place where trainers can get on ferries to take them to the next island, unless you have a water type big enough to carry you across. There is a woman who will bring you across on her Gyarados for the small price of fifty dollars.

This is a poor place for catching water pokemon, but the wingul like to flock around in hopes of getting scraps of food from humans.

[ ]Coral Path
At low tide, a stone path appears, leading to and from Smalia Island. The white skeletons of coral are all over the rocks, and each day they crumble more and more. There's also algae on the rocks. Take a wrong step, and you'll fall into the ocean.

The water's pretty shallow and clear, so for trainers hoping to catch water types, it never hurts to wade. Just watch out for the sudden six foot drop-off.

Smalia Island
[ ]Samalia Village (2 sub-boards)
A small village on the beach of Smalia Island, just bordering the forest. The buildings here are all huts, made out of palm trees and leaves. The people here are very friendly, and willing to share what they have, even if it's not always much.

This is also Nara's place of birth, and the villiagers speak highly of her. After all, she was the one who dared to leave the island forever.

A few hundred feet from the village sits the Elder's Hut. He sits outside of his wooden hut in a chair, staff in hand and Vaporeon by his side.
For any trainer who comes to pay him a visit, he will offer advice and answer the questions of the ways of old, for Smalians know the secrets of Ishball...

[ ]The Forest of Wind (1 sub-board)
Smalia Island is covered by a dense forest of towering Oak trees. Their bark is a deep brown, and moss has claimed part of the trees and most of the ground. A strange wind is always blowing through the trees, making the leaves rustle and fall almost all year round. It's easy to get lost in this forest, and travelers are advised to avoid falling off the cliffs at the edge of the forest, for nothing but merciless waves await...
Deep within the forest, a mysterious shrine is said to lay.

This forest is a great place for trainers to train, as well as capture a variety of pokemon.

This metrapolis has lost itself to the tourists, but a few native Ishballens still live here...well away from the tourists. Be sure to stop by the Gym and the Contest Hall!

Karmaq Valley heads up hill, with steep cliff on each side. From the top of these cliffs, trees can be seen, with their berry laden branches. In fact, it's not uncommon to walk along this path and discover smashed berries, destroyed by their long fall down.

Here, the Utsusu River flows downhill, sparkling and dazzling as ever. All through the valey, rock, ground, and grass types are common.

This is the only way to get to the Fruit Forest.

[ ]The Fruit Forest
The Fruit Forest runs along both sides of the Karmaq Valley. The trees are spread apart from each other, allowing plenty of sun to hit the floor. It's a bright, cheery forest. You might want to pick the fruit from the trees, it's free after all. There are several pokemon here who eat the fruit. Including one pokemon that can only be found in this forest.
Be carefull...you might just walk off a cliff and fall into the valley.

The Utsusu Lake lies in the middle of this forest, right in a clearing.

[ ]Utsusu Lake
Utsusu Lake, more commonly called Mirror Lake, rests in the middle of the Fruit Forest. It sits in a clearing of its own, with the trees on the far side leaning over just enough to let their berries fall into the lake. The water is so clear, you can see all the way to the bottom. This is a great date spot, popular among young couples.

You have to head back down the valley to return to the beach, where you can find the next route.

Just past the beach is Xzandu Village. This village, like many others, is being swept up in the tides of change. Wooden huts are being replaced with houses, apartments are going up, shops are replacing the Ponyta drawn carts...
The villiagers don't object to this. For them, it means a Pokemon Center, a mart, buisiness...
But the elders of the villiage dislike change. Xzandu Village is slowly becomming a town divided.

This is the port of Mango Island. A rickety old dock is where all boats and ferries pull up. It's at the end of the beach, which only surrounds half of the island. The beach itself is more like sandy gravel...

[ ]Spirit Forest (1 sub-board)
Made up of large, towering trees, Spirit Forest covers the entire island. The trees are covered in dark colored bark, with vibrant green moss growing on the northern sides of the trunks. Vines hang down from the branches. It's a cryptic place, with the mist lingering in the canopy and through the trees. It's always dark here, which makes it home to several dark and ghost type pokemon.
Trainers are warned to be especially careful of the packs of canine pokemon that tend to roam the forest. The most dangerous are said to be the Houndour and the Houndoom...

Deep within the forest lies Mekkarra Village, a place of ancient mysteries...
Moderator: Icey Ami

[ ]Nekkarra Village (7 sub-boards)
Located in the center of Spirit Forest, Nekkarra Village rests in the only clearing. Here, there is no mist, and the sky is always visable, though it is eternally night. This strange event is said to be an illusion cast by the Ghost pokemon.
The buildings here are very old, and from the outside, look to be unsafe. However, they are all quite nice from the inside, thanks to the great Restoration Project.
Paper lanters hang from the corners of homes and buildings, casting their colored light into the streets.
The people of this village are deeply in touch with spirits and the very legends of Ishball. They know the many intricate secrets that have faded from memory. Once a month, during the new moon, the Festival of Night is held.
Please be sure to visit the gym and contest hall, if you happen to drop by.

[ ]Spirit Tower (1 sub-board)
Far away, on the other side of the island, Spirit Tower rests on the cliffs. A tower made of weathered deep purple stone, it stands shrouded in mist as the final resting place for souls of the dearly departed. A spiraling staircase winds up to the top inside, and each floor is littered with headstones and mirrored walls. There are windows, cut directly into the stone walls of the tower. On the outside, plants have started to grow on the exterior walls, but it shows no sign of crumbling.

Nara often spends time here, conversing with the will-o-wisps that float around the top of the tower.

This, is the paradise of Ghost types.

Thunder Island
[ ]Autumn Village (4 sub-boards)
A small village on the coast of Thunder Island, Autumn Village is always at risk when it storms. You sea, the villiage itself is set on floating docks, all attatched to one main dock that leads back to the shore. Everything is spread out, and often times the commute along the narrow docks can be tricky, but thankfully, most of the people spend their days on the Raft or out fishing.
There are also a few buildings on the beach, well out of high tide's reach. These buildings tend to be where boats are built or where the sick are treated. A storm shelter is built off in the distance, for those rare times when a particularly nasty squall strikes.
00
[ ]Lightning Plains (1 sub-board)
Rolling plains of tall, golden grass covers all of Thunder Island. Overhead, dark thunder clouds always loom. It is a beautiful, dangerous place, with scortched trees and patches of ground.
You see, Lightning Plains is accurately named. Bolts of lightning are prone to striking the ground, and causing wild fires. Special teams of trainers have been stationed out here for that very reason. It is their job to protect the wild pokemon of this unforgiving land.
Here, electric pokemon run free, along with grass types, ground, and some rock types.

The jounry across the island can be hard, especially with all the storms that plague the island...
00
[ ]Thunder City (5 sub-boards)
Thunder City is hit by more storms than any other city in the entire region. The towering skyscrapers are all equiped with lightning rods, for good reason. As a major port, this city rests at the center of a cresent-shaped bay, surrounded by calm waters, despite the stormy weather.
This is a place for business and trade. It is the economic hub of Ishball. Here, is where anybody who is anybody comes to make a start towards fame.

Rumor has it that the Kloiku's base is in this very city...
00
[ ]Thunder Bay
Probably the best fishing area in all of Ishball, Thunder Bay is home to calm waters and several water type pokemon.
Sheltered from the rough waters, thanks to the cresent-shape of the island around it, boats can sail at any time of year, even in storms. Fishing boats are a common sight here, and many choose to make their living off the bay.
00
[ ]The Rocks (1 sub-board)
These are the rocks that have kept the shores of Thunder Island from eroding for thousands of years. The rocks used to be tall and jagged, but thanks to the pounding waves, they have been worn down.
It is possible to climb on them, but it calls for extreme caution. One slip, and you could fall into the ocean and end up slammed repeatedly into the rocks.
Some of the rocks make a path, well, that's what it looks like...

[ ]Jules Town (5 sub-boards)
An old-fashioned sea town, Jules Town is filled with buildings built out of wood and stone. The cobble-stoned streets are filled with people, many of whom are decended from the sailors and pirates who came ashire here. This town is rich in pirate history, for at one time, it was a major trading hub of Ishball. Now, the only reminders of those days lie in the Pirate's Museum. Be sure to stop by the local pubs, 'lest you be caught in one of their tiffs...

Though this is a small town, there's always a pleasent feeling in the air, and like most cities, it is a bustling port city.

A large mountain range splits Lime Island in half. This range is called the Rayne Mountains. The five tallest peaks are in the center of the range, while on either side, smaller, easier to navigate mountains stretch to the ocean. This is the place where hidden caves and valleys house uniquie pokemon. Fighting, rock, and ground types are quite common here.

Talia Island
[ ]The Deserted Village (4 sub-boards)
The shores along Talia Island are a place of mystery. Old stone huts litter the beaches and surrounding area. Just the walls remain, and many of them have crumbled.

This is the Deserted Village. For as long as people can remember, these ruins have been here. Laying next to the ruins are woven baskets that have long since fallen apart, old stone tools, and even bones. Who knows what lies beneeth the rocky sand and soil.
It is unknown as to why the village was abandoned.

[ ]The Tunnel of Fire
Past the Deserted Village the terrain changes. The Deserted Village rested on a drop off, while the rest of the island is at a higher elevation, only by a few feet at most. This small cliff is built up with rocks, and they are highly unstable, making a climb impossible. The inhabitants of the Deserted Village built a tunnel leading up to the other half of the island, or so it's believed.

This tunnel has been called the Tunnel of Fire, for inside the tunnel steam billows out of cracks and the temperature rises. This is the best place to capture Fire types in all off Ishball, and this long winding tunnel can be treatcherous.

[ ]Dai-ina Mountain (1 sub-board)
A towering mountain in the middle of Talia Island, Dai-ina Mountain stands as the only active volcano in the region. Though this volcano has not errupted in over a hundred years, thick smoke still billows from the summit of this mountain.
You may climb the mountain, if you wish, but geologists believe the volcano may errupt. The native Talia Islanders believe that the volcano will not errupt so long as the island's protector is watching over the island.

One hundred years ago, Talay Village was wiped off the map when Dai-ina Mountain erupted. The resilient villagers rebuilt, and now Talay Village is a sprawling town.
There are no roads here, just volcanic rock. And it's common to see people with obsidian jewelry or weapons. In fact, Talay Village is known for creating some of the best weapons in the region. Now used for collection purposes only, these weapons have a high sale value, and many are one of a kind. The threat of the volcano has faded into nothing but a memory, and the people have grown too comfortable living near the mountain. Drills are practiced twice a year, once in the rainy season and once in the dry season.

[ ]Rose City (6 sub-boards)
Rose City, the city of flowers. The buildings here are all grand looking, and covered in flowers. The air always smells sweet, and bug pokemon flock here, along with grass types.
This city is dedicated to plants, with several parks. The people of Rose City also know how to party, and they're quite famous for their festivals. Another thing that makes Rose City infamous is their cafes and parks. There's always something to do here, and trainers are drawn to tis city. After all, the Grass Gym is located here.
There's also a contest hall located in the center of the city.

[ ]The Psychic Palace (1 sub-board)
A large palace stands in the grass, surrounded by tall iron bar fences. The palace itself is made of stone that has a marbled look to it. With grand gates, which are always closed. These gates are always guarded by men in silver armor who hold silver spears.
This is where the self proclaimed Queen of Psychics lives. She's always locked in her palace, and rarely steps outside. When she does venture outside, she's often seen by one of the many fountains.

All though the palace itself is closed to visitors, the Imperial Garden is open to the public.

[ ]Kyoshii Temple of Silence (1 sub-board)
On the far west side of the island is Kyoshii Temple, the sister temple of the Kyoshii Temple on Zanadu Island. The grand temple is surrounded by tall stone walls, with the only way in being the wooden gates, which always remain open during the day. The Priestess's homes are built right next to the wall, and the largest building inside is built on a small lake, surrounded by beautiful white lillies. This is where the Head Priestess spends her time, inside this building. It has a glass roof, allowing her to constantly view the branches of the Tree of Ages.
Behind the building, on the shore of the small lake, the Tree of Ages towers...

The priestesses here are all silent, except for the Head Priestess. They believe that silence is the best teacher.

[ ]Pink Pearl Beach
Stretching across Lemon Island's northern shore is a beach made of fine pink sand.
Pink Pearl Beach is always busy, and a wonderful place to catch some rays, and maybe even a glimpse of some tough trainers. It is not uncommon for trainers to battle each other, drawing the attention of large crowds.

Mineral Island
[ ]Cinne City (6 sub-boards)
Cinne City lies near the abandoned mines. At one time, this was a heavy mining city filled with rough and tough miners. Now, it has fallen into the peaceful and lazy haze of urban life. Many of the people remember the city's good old days, but the next generation longs to find ways to improve their city.
The buildings are all made of steel, and the ground is tinted a rusty red, thanks the the iron ore.
