Mistralton City
DESCRIPTION -
Accessed either by Route 7 or Chargestone Cave, Mistralton possesses one of the biggest airports ever constructed, capable of housing dozens of aircraft at particularly busy times, and the airport has come to define the City, with the last two Gym Leaders being masters of the Flying-type - and neither of them pushovers. Aside from the Gym and the Airport, there isn't much else here - a cargo service that occasionally dabbles in exotic imports and a branch of the Move Family are about the most interesting the rest of Mistralton gets.
LOCATION -
Mistralton City is one the most westerly points in Unova, beaten only by Anville Town.
PEOPLE -
The people in Mistralton are generally quite helpful, if, on occasion, quite flighty, as you'd expect of such a City. As the biggest airport in Unova, Mistralton often sees deluges of visitors from other regions and parts of Unova, making it quite the melting pot of cultures and races. There is a tinge of a 'make-do-and-mend' mentality here - people don't like to mindlessly consume or throw things away, as evidenced by the vegetable patches and greenhouses situated around the hangar.
RESOURCES/EVENTS/PLACES OF INTEREST -
Poke Center and Poke Mart: - As with most of Unova's cities, Mistralton features the usual Poke Center/Mart combination that so many trainers are thankful to see.
Pokemon Gym: - The Mistralton Gym is the official gym of Mistralton City, and is the sixth gym encountered by trainers before heading for the Pokemon League. The Gym Leader is one Irving Lombardi, who specializes in Flying-type Pokemon - an ex-test pilot, his feats of reckless daring in battle have led the people of Mistralton to describe his Gym as a place 'Where Eagles Dare'. Those that defeat him earn the Slipstream Badge and TM40 (Aerial Ace).
Move Family: - One of the many branches of the Move Family resides in Mistralton, and just like the others, members of it can teach Pokemon all sorts of arcane and useful moves, allow them to re-learn them, even forget them. Always worth a visit, especially if you're not happy with your Pokemon's moveset.
Cargo Service: - An exports-and-imports service that works in tandem with the Airport to deliver goods. Occasionally, they'll distribute things from the lost and found (not the fun stuff, of course) or import certain things upon request.
Mistralton Cave: - Accessed through Route 6, this Cave is not too dissimilar to those in the rest of Unova, though people who have explored its lower levels swear they've seen a very tall, regal Pokemon resting in the dark, its cries supposedly echoing through the cave on some nights.
MYTH/LORE -
Not that much to tell, to be honest - although, on some nights, sudden downpours and thunderstorms have been known to occur, and the silhouette of almost genie-like figures have been seen out by Route 7. There have also been rumors of ghosts, thanks to the City's proximity to the Celestial Tower, but no-one really believes them.
