{RIBULAR TOWN}

Natsuki: (waking up after being unconscious for so long) “Ugh…ow…my head…”

(Natsuki wakes up in the middle of Ribular Town. It was unlike anything she’s seen before.)

Natsuki: “This place…is strange.”

(Just then, Natsuki notices three strange people in the distance - but they weren’t her friends or fellow club members.)

Natsuki: “Huh?”

(Natsuki approaches the strangers.)

Natsuki: “Uh…Hello? What is this place?”

Stranger 1: “Ah, you must be new here. Welcome to Ribular Town! It’s one of the three main towns here in the Calisteo Islands. My name’s Dina, by the way. Here in the Calisteo Islands, we battle with prehistoric creatures called Vivosaurs!”

Natsuki: “Vivosaurs? Prehistoric creatures? This place just keeps getting stranger…”

Dina: “Yes, it may seem odd at first, but once you get used to it, it’s quite fascinating. Ribular Town is known for having a variety of Fossil Fighters, trainers who excavate fossils and bring them back to life as Vivosaurs. It’s like a living museum! Here, let me take you to the fossil park so you can get your first Vivosaur.”

Natsuki: “Wait, hold on. I’m not sure I understand. Bringing fossils back to life? Like, actually resurrecting them?”

Dina: “Exactly! In Ribular Town, we have advanced technology that allows us to extract and revive the ancient DNA from fossils. It’s a thrilling process! Once the Vivosaurs are restored, they can be trained and battled with. It’s a whole new world!”

Natsuki: “Wow, that does sound pretty cool. But I have no idea how any of this works. I’m just a regular high school student.”

Dina: “No worries! We have plenty of trainers here who can help you learn the ropes. Training Vivosaurs can be quite strategic and competitive, but it’s also a lot of fun. I’m sure you’ll catch on quickly.”

Natsuki: “Alright, I guess I can give it a shot. Lead the way to the fossil park, Dina.”

(Dina takes Natsuki to the fossil park, a sprawling outdoor area full of excavation sites and Vivosaur enthusiasts.)

Natsuki: “Wow, this place is amazing! It’s like a treasure hunt.”

Dina: “That’s right! Finding fossils can be quite thrilling. Here, let me give you a quick rundown on the basics. First, you’ll need a VMM, a Vivosaur Medallion Machine. It’s a device that lets you bring Vivosaurs back to life and control them in battles.”

Natsuki: “Got it. How do I get one?”

Dina: “Don’t worry, I’ll get you one. But first, you’ll need to find your first fossil. Just explore the excavation sites and look for any signs of fossils. Once you find one, use the VMM to extract the fossil and revive the Vivosaur.”

Natsuki: “Sounds straightforward enough. Are all the fossils in this park?”

Dina: “Not all of them. There are multiple excavation sites spread throughout the Calisteo Islands. Each site has different types of fossils, so it’s worth exploring them all. Oh, and keep an eye out for rare fossils. They’re harder to find, but they can give you powerful and unique Vivosaurs.”

Natsuki: “I’ll definitely keep that in mind. So, after I revive a Vivosaur, what’s next?”

Dina: “Once you have a Vivosaur, you can start training and battling with it. There are Vivosaur competitions held regularly in Ribular Town, where you can pit your Vivosaurs against others and test your skills. It’s a great way to improve and earn rewards.”

Natsuki: “Sounds exciting! I think I’m starting to get the hang of this. Let’s find my first fossil.”

(Dina and Natsuki begin exploring the excavation sites, searching for fossils.)

Natsuki: “Hey, Dina, what kind of Vivosaurs do you have?”

Dina: “I specialize in water-type Vivosaurs. They have powerful water-based abilities and are great for battles near the coast. How about you?”

Natsuki: “I’m not sure yet. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what kind of fossils I find.”

(Dina and Natsuki continue their search, filled with anticipation and excitement for the adventures that await them in Ribular Town and the world of Vivosaurs. Eventually, Natsuki digs up a fossil in the shape of a clawed paw.)
