NEWSPAPER - BIWEEKLY POKEMON EDITION

[Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated.]

[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Pascal, Solaris/Lumiere, Olivia "Liv" Moore, Satsuki Kiryuin, Shallistera, Irvine Kinneas, Tooru Mutsuki.]





Pokemon Fever


It looks like Genessia is going through another invasion! However, this invasion is much more friendly! And familiar as well. Some of our readers that were fortunate enough to have been here for long enough might recall the first time Pokemon found their way into our humble cities. These creatures are friendly for the most part and they came in all shapes and sizes and varying levels of cuteness. But don’t let those cute ones fool you, some of them pack quite a punch!

You will see them all over the place. Just be careful when you are walking through tall grass or you will suddenly find yourself in a battle! Unless that is what you are looking for. Pokemon can easily be captured by battle them until they are weak. Then you just throw a handy dandy Pokeball at it and you suddenly have a new friend!

Some Trainers make careers out of capturing these creatures. And with over 700 of them roaming around, those people are certain to be kept busy for a long time to come. So you aspiring trainers should try your hands a catching as many as you can. Just try not to become too much of a Pokemaniac!




SkyRocketing Trouble!


The nefarious group known as Team Rocket has been spotted around Genessia! With Pokemon roaming about every city, it was only a matter of time before they found their way here. This group is known for committing crimes related to the kidnapping and theft of Pokemon.

It goes without saying that you should be careful while you are out exploring and trying to capture new Pokemon. Team Rocket will have no issue with trying to take both your old and new Poke friends from you. Only the low level Grunts seem to be roaming around, but don’t drop your guard. Their mere presence here means you should always be prepared for trouble when you are out!

Stay safe, loyal Readers!

Nova City Novels

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2015-08-31 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
A new novel was recently uncovered in Nova City by author Layla Starr, who some fans would recall had written a heartfelt romance trilogy several months ago. After a long hiatus, she has now released a new novel Catch Me, Catch You, a novel about a policewoman who was transferred to a new city to try and help capture a notorious jewel thief rumored to be a dangerous murderer. With the aid of her robot sidekick Tweeks, she hunts down this villain only to find out that what she knew might not be entirely correct. A bittersweet ending haunts this novel's pages, and the author has confirmed she is working on a follow up to this book, though it may be some time before it is released. Though Catch Me, Catch You is not yet distributed in other cities, only time will tell if it will be as the author has declined comment on the matter.
