The depths of Kairos

## *Welcome to the Underground!*

This will be the more techinical part of this page since it will discuss about what can and cannot be done in the underground as a player or GM willing to set a quest in the underground. The Pokemon discovered in the underground are called relic Pokemon, they have lost the ability to miniaturize and enter pokeballs making them uncatchable by nature but thanks to the magic of Science there is a way. They can either look like mega evolutions or type synch or in some cases look really distant from any Pokemon on the surface . The plants may get ticketed and used in the future but until that all plants documented in this page should be seen as dressing for the underground, new biomes can and will be added in the future but for now the only available biome is "*The crystal depths*" (Keep reading the page if interested in biology or a GM looking to set a quest in the underground). If a GM creates a new plant for the underground they can give it a name ( Have fun with it but don't try to make them too silly to be actual names) or let the players that find it give them one, this can work for relic Pokemons that look pretty different from their surface counterparts.

*// small note for the players, don't pressure any GM in trying to give anything they don't want to give you, especially in the underground were many thing are more mysterious*

### How to catch A Relic Pokemon

It was said before that relic Pokemon where un catchable, this statement remains true since they cannot physically fit in pokeballs due to the genetic code responsible for the miniaturization is no longer used in Relic Pokemons. Thanks to advanced research in genetics a device has been built to analyze and reactivate those hidden genes, The device is called a "DNA stabilizer" and it works in conjunction with a device called "Genome Card". A sample of a relic Pokemon's DNA is required to be put on the Genome card and then inserted in the DNA stabilizer to give you the "pokeball brace", the brace can be put on every pokeball type and will rewrite the genome of the Pokemon that get hit by the pokeball to allow miniaturization (Doesn't work on humans). Once a Pokemon's genetic material is obtained infinite amount of braces can be produced (a genetic sample works for all the evolutionary line)

## Notable Explorers and researchers

The discovery of the depths has brought a new generation of cave delvers and researchers ready to investigate the underground, helped by the amount of regional diversity people from all over the world have joined together to form the "First expedition of Kairos". This group is supported by the league and is founded by a legendary cave delver named *Arold Alabaster,* Now in retirement he chose to finance the project out of his pocket for a new generation of explorers to thrive in the uncharted lands that are Kairos.

***Sir Arold Alabaster***

Arold Is an man in his 70s but do not let the looks deceive you, he once was the best known cave delver this side of the world had ever seen. Known for having retrieved countless artifacts and treasures he retired due to health and family reasons, he is now financially Leading the *First Expedition of Kairos* and helps mentor new cave delvers like his grandkid Ron Alabaster

***Ron Alabaster***

Grandkid of the legendary Arold and young cave delving Prodigy, Unlike his Grandfather he is really tall and is always tremendously excited to go in the depths. He is described as a Go lucky adventurer with an heart of gold, he is also really strong due to his training regime he has followed till he was 15.

### ***Katerine tuff***

This young explorer is a childhood friend of Ron and accomplished trainer in her home region of Sinnoh, She carries always 6 pokeballs on her waist and seem to be pretty even match in terms of cave delving abilities to Ron. She is also always wearing cave delving gear on herself at all time, her favorite type is steel.

***Samantah Opal***

The head biologist of the First expedition, this brilliant mind comes from Kalos and is the creator of the DNA Stabilizer, Not much is know about her other than the fact that she has a tremendously high IQ and a Mega key stone on her. (She will get excited if you start taking about mitochondria in her presence)

***Dustin Orec***

Head of the geological division of the First expediton, Dustin comes form Unova and is a renowned Geologist even if he is just in his late 20s. He doesn't like talking and seems to be always sleep deprived but seems to actually yearn to explore the underground by foot rather than in a lab. (He hates when people say that he looks like a Shromish )

**M.0.0.N (Moon)**

A biomechanical guardian (Purposed Organism) of the underground, It remained guard at the edge of netherworld (the ancient way of saying the surface) for 10.000 years. With the passing of time many of moon's internal processors have deteriorated leaving it unable to move, It also developed a tremendously cynical and pessimistic world view while standing in the same place for that many eons.

**Uncle Roger**

Another Biomechanical creature of the underground, It was created in a place called the workshop and had a role of being a portable and moving cooking station. it remained stuck at the bottom of a deep pool of water in the fey cap forest, the state in witch it found itself stuck allowed most of his processors to keep functioning till this day, This Purposed organism has a much more solar disposition than Moon.

## The Crystal depths *Danger rating* ✦✦✧✧✧ Depth level 1450m/4755 ft Under the ocean

This Ancient grove is a large and extensive cave were huge river shape the structure of the underground's terrain, The high concentration of minerals in the water suggest that the rivers created the crystals trough an unknown chemical process. The crystal landscape illuminates the way for Explorers and relic Pokemon alike, especially crystallized area seem to be the preferred places of rest for a species know as relic Carbink and relic Falinks, Other relic Pokemon have been found in this area but it's currently unknown if any normal Pokemon resides down there along side these Mysterious relics.

There seems to be plenty of plant like life thanks to the luminescence of the crystals and the clear and potable water of the rivers that flow down here.

The only know access is currently on the south coast of Hima and entrance is prohibited to unequipped wanderers.

### Species of the Crystal depths

In the depths plenty of pokemon and plant species have been found by exploring teams and while their documentation is still scarce this much is know thanks to the brave explorers that visit the underground.

###### Plant life:

The abundance of water and light makes plant life possible down in the depths, the 3 most notable that have been found are the Fredikplantom (also called Water Cabbage) a berry called Bewjeweled Oran (Also called Lump Fruit) and a Berry called ??? (also called Crystal apricots). these plants have been found in the first and second expedition guided by the explorers: Oliver, Kimera, Li'lidge,Range and Andrew (Oliver the cook also gave insight on the fact that this plants are edible and safe to consume).

###### Pokemon Life:

10 species of relic Pokemons have been found in the crystal depths, 8 of them seem to resemble surface living Pokemon while the other 2 seem to look really unique in comparison to what's taught to be their closest relatives

## The underground forest *Danger rating* ✦✦✦✧✧ Depth level 1960m/6430 ft Under the ocean

The underground forest is connected to the crystal depths trough the use of a lift, the starting area most adventurers will visit is called the undergrove. As the name implies the underground forest is an extensive forest that feeds of the energy let out by a species of bioluminescent flowers called "Plasma Flowers", 4 sub areas have been discovered and all of them have been explored. The undergrove is the habitat of species such as relic Zorua and the younglings of the powerful Yanmages, the second area that has been discovered and explored is the "Field of flowers of Fortitude" an large patch of land covered by a species of white flowers called flowers of Fortitude; The Dark forest is an extensive section of forest that lacks any form of illumination given by the plasma flowers, the ceiling collapsed a while ago leaving only the extensive mycelium network that runs trough the soil to feed the forest nutrients (Advanced biosphere altering devices have also been found in the dark forest); The last discovered subarea is called the "The fey cap Forest", smaller then the other subarea this peculiar locale is inhabited by an ultra extensive list of various fungi, this is the only known access to reach "The underground Ocean".

### Species of the Underground Forest

In the Forest plenty of Relic pokemon and plant species have been found by exploring teams and while their documentation is still scarce this much is know thanks to the brave explorers that visit the underground.

###### Plant life:

The abundance of water and light makes plant life tremendously abundant , the 6 most notable that have been found are the ??? (also called Blodspire maples) a Fruit called ??? (Also called Crackling durian) two mushroom species that grow in the dark forest and the fey cap forest ( Dust caps and Fey caps). these plants have been found in the fourth fifth and sixth expedition guided by the explorers: Nathan, Range Andrew, Briar, Generic and Dreya, Skadoo, Alastair;

##### **Treasures of the Underground**

Inside the underground forest powerful artifacts have been found and more are likely lurking around the underground Forest.

**Treasure found and retrieved:** *Flute of Slump; Dimensional Chalk;*

## The subterranean Ocean *Danger rating* ✦✦✦✧✧ Depth level 2000m -3400m /6560 ft -11.155 ft Under the ocean

The underground Ocean is directly connected to the forest and is the place where the numerous rivers found in the previous area all lead up to, The first area any explorer will find is the mossy shores, a wet and lush shoreline made up from ancient broken down buildings and natural cliff faces. Near the shoreline a structure made by the first expedition stands tall as a beacon of safety "The lighthouse" was built specifically to further oceanic expeditions and to refill the supplies for any trainer coming out of the forest. Jumping into the clear waters the most common and explored biome seems to be the reefs, into the reefs many species of relic pokemons call their home and thrive in a lush ecosystem. Other things of note that have been found are numerous broken down workshops and industrial complexes that ended up submerged and abandoned for 10.000 years and an enormous cooling structure that is now currently used by Relic Primarinas.

### Species of the Underground Ocean

In the Ocen plenty of Relic pokemon and plant species have been found by exploring teams and while their documentation is still scarce this much is know thanks to the brave explorers that visit the underground.

###### Plant life:

All the plants the unique forms of plant life have been found to live in the water, the plants on the shore seem to be similar if not the same species from the underground forest. A species of bizarre plant life is the crystal coral, A misleading name since it is not a proper coral but a plant that evolved to imitate it by using the mineral rich waters to form a hard shell to protect itself. An anemone species as been found and called Siren Hair Anemone, once brewed in a more liquid solution the resultant tonic has shown miraculous ability in regenerating lost hair. Another unusual species is the Brain Coral which seems to behave like a hive mind in constant thought, if consumed or interacted with it grants temporary psychic powers or just very good mathematical skills.

##### **Treasures of the Underground Ocean**

Two treasure have been located and ended up being used in various expeditions.

**Treasure found and retrieved:** *Reef blade and the Armor of the Sea*

## The Frozen Calderas *Danger rating* ✦✦✦✧✧ Depth level 3300m -???m /10826ft -??? ft Under the ocean

Deep beneath the ocean through an underwater cave this Cold and hot and inhospitable place lies, The First expedition still has very low presence in the area and while it has been largely explored many mysteries remain regarding the place. One of the few last remaining members of the Ancients(Odai) resides here and has revealed what caused the downfall of the ancients, an event called the Mass Ascension in which all of the Odai's soul where killed. The only ones that survived where those with a desire strong enough to replace their soul, this information was given by the Sovereign of Frost (4 other sovereigns have been mentioned being still alive deeper into the underground)

### Species of The Frozen Calderas

In The Frozen Calderasplenty of Relic pokemon and plant species have been found by exploring teams and while their documentation is still scarce this much is know thanks to the brave explorers that visit the underground.

###### Plant life:

Many plants have been discovered but the documentation on them is still pretty scarce (Work in progress)

##### **Treasures of The Frozen Calderas**

Inside the The Frozen Calderas no Treasure has been currently discovered.

**Treasure found and retrieved:** *None*
