Disma Island

"The medical properties of the fauna on the island are ma- who are you? Wait... what was I saying again?" -Galena Bane

## History

Disma is a swampland island, composed of many murky swamps. With almost constant rainfall, unlike Kinaba the land absorbs the water and turns into a muddy mess. The island's plants and Pokémon themselves aren't as friendly either, as those that don't pay attention to their surroundings find themselves poisoned or eaten.

### The Guardian of Disma

No one knows what the Guardian of Disma is, though there are rumors of a powerful predator that roams the island consuming entire Pokémon whole. Though interestingly the tradition that formed around the Guardian of Disma isn't to leave it behind food or things to eat.

The people of Disma have quickly discovered that the guardian of Disma enjoys the advancement of technology, once a year they leave behind old and worn out technology or gear that is unused in a trash pile that disappears by the end of the night. The same night, all the people of Disma note a horrible nightmare that plagues them, but no one remembers what that nightmare was.

### The World Tree

From the aerial view and far away, there is a tree that covers a huge majority of Disma Island dubbed the World Tree. Though no explorer has managed to get there, all that venture that far deep into Disma tend to never return.

## Gym Leader of Disma

Galena Bane - Galena is a leading Researcher in both medicine and environmental Health. Her attitude is always trying to teach someone something and can become quite oblivious when no one is actually listening to her. She comes from Unova and ventured to Kairos to Study the environment and took particular interest towards Disma and was able to use the poisonous Pokémon and gasses here to further improve modern medicines.

She works in a large industrial Lab located on the side of a lake and where the Fog is the thickest. Within this lab is Metal piping and other scientists who work on trying to figure out how to make Disma’s air less toxic and how it can be made into medicines and advance other Research. Her gym is also located in the Basement level of this Facility. The building is rather robust and almost looks like a factory rather than a science facility.

## Geography

Though little is known about Disma the portion that has been explored has been split into 3 different Ecosystems. But a thick layer of Noxious fog and gas covers most of the island.

### The Grand Lily Pad Everglades

The Grand Lily pad Everglades consist mostly of water with large trees forming around the outskirts. Large lily pads and other water fauna make the majority of this landscape's foliage making it a very common place for flying bugs, carnivorous plants and water bound Pokémon. Unlike the other places only a thin layer of noxious gas linger here.

The most dangerous Pokémon around these parts is a fairly large Yanmega who's the king of the skies on these Lily Pads.

Many Pokémon appear to be fairly docile as this is a much calmer part of Disma, large lily pads that can hold even some Pokémon cover the water. Underneath is deep water with the stems and roots creating almost a forest. There is very little sunlight that reaches below the water's surface making this a prime place for Pokémon like Barracuda.

Traversing through the Lily pads tends to be dangerous as they drift around when touched. Jumping onto a lily pad causes it to continue in the direction with the most force going for it until it bumps into something else, or stopped.

### Cherryspore Town

A small quant "town" Cherryspore Town is more of a collection of even smaller villages than a unified town. The murky waters between each village outcropping are all traversed with Airboats that help go past the waters. Each small village is consistent of a couple of individuals that consist of the town.

Galena's research facility is on the outskirts of Cherryspore town.

## Weather

Hima island's weather is pretty normal, aside from the various volcanic smogs that might dot the sky some days. Hima Island is typically temperate.

## Pokémon Inhabitants and Fauna

A murky swamp filled to the brim with life, hidden just beneath the lily pads and murky water. Disma island is typically pretty difficult to traverse, especially thanks to the unusual tides and weather phenomena that seem to appear often on the island. Though if you can manage to make it through the difficult conditions of the island, you'd find plenty of poison, water, grass and of course, bug Pokémon across the island.

Similar to other islands, Disma has a nice cropping of **River**s, **Riverside**s, and **Lake**s, though most famously are dotted with various **Swamps**.

The fauna of Disma are the most unique, spawning a majority of the Apricorns and berries, and various poisonous and non-poisonous plants.
