**Silver City** is a coastal city that lies on the northern edge of the West Astrean Sea, sharing it with Lightpoint. It is **not** part of the Astrean continent. It is Astrea's main trading ally.

It is also home to the Iron Enforcers guild and the Giga Impact Fight Club, as well as a tall Radio Tower in the center of the city. Its current mayor is Kavaris the Krookodile.

## Statistics

The population of Silver City is estimated to be around ~250,000 as of A.C. 70XX.

Silver City is around ~50 square miles in area, giving it a population density of ~5,000 per square mile on average.

## Appearance

Many design aspects of the city are based on human cities before the Cataclysm, such as grid-like suburbs, paved walkways, and chargestone lamps that mimic street lights. Some human artifacts, such as technology, have found their way into Pokemon life here in Silver City. This can include batteries, printers, radios, and cameras. However, Pokemon's ability to use most of these electronics are limited, as they were designed for use by humans.

Depending on where you go in Silver City, your experience can vary wildly:

### East Port

A boardwalk on the coast, where you can watch the sun's gold aura shimmer on the dark waters of Silver City. Just make sure you're with someone you trust; muggings and petty theft are common in this area.

This is where Astrean tourists enter Silver City from. This area is mainly comprised of businesses, such as tailors, electronic stores, and restaurants. There are bus terminals here, even though there is no bus service. They are used as a public hangout spot and include maps so you can get your bearings, or find cover from the rain. You'll be lucky to find one that doesn't reek of nicotine.

### North District

The North District of Silver City includes bars, the Silver City Black Market, some Pokemon brothels, and an "abandoned" stadium. We say "abandoned" because it's where the Giga Impact Fight Club was known for holding its illegal Pokemon battles. After the disappearance of The Boss, however, it has become the new construction site for the Close Combat Arena.

This is the most popular district for Syndicate members and sympathizers to live in, due to all the nearby services they benefit from.

### South District

Ground zero of the Justice Incident. A memorial ground commonly vandalized by Syndicate sympathizers; this area is very politically charged. It will be common to find protest here, and Iron Enforcers being dispatched to take care of public riots. Living in the South District is the cheapest option in Silver City for this reason.

Nearby is the Silver City public school, where the young ones can receive an education ~~under~~funded by the state. Partnered with the Iron Enforcers, training programs are available to join guild forces after graduation. Orphans and other children with unavailable parents can stay at the Silver City Daycare, under the watchful eye of the Aggron caretaker.

### West Hills

Deep into the continent that Silver City is home to, the urban environment unfolds into a suburban environment, trailing into the barren lands where most of Silver City's agriculture is done. This is where some of Silver City's most prestigious and gated communities reside. Those that manage to make it live here in comfort far from the noise and the danger the other areas of the city pose.

There are rumors that humans left something horrible within the Forbidden Forest, an extremely quiet forest of tall metal spikes located in an otherwise barren wasteland west of Silver City.

## Culture

Silver City is the only town with non-emergency radio stations: This includes KTSC, short for Kilowatt Tunes Silver City. The host, Nant, salvages music created by humans for the listening pleasure of anyone fortunate enough to own a radio. The contents of this radio station also include news bulletins, call-in questions, and radio play scripts to entertain listeners.

Silver City's cultural drink is **cola.** A sweet, carbonated beverage available for people of all ages, and notoriously addictive. Make sure to drink it before it gets warm, or flat...
