Royal meeting

Royal meeting

While the border patrol was apparently the most powerful force in Rota other than the royal guard it was spread out to cover the whole border and thus didn't have a bunch of strong people all in one spot. The minimum level of strength to be part of the border patrol in this part of the region was beginner ace trainer but unfortunately that only applied to ones pokemon. So while learning a cold weapon was a requirement to be part of the regions military forces skill with said weapons only became important when you went for a promotion.-

Rota had a knight centric military structure by tradition so in order to get a higher position you needed to have solid skill with whatever weapon you chose to use. Still I enjoyed sparring with these other spearmen as while they lacked any worth mentioning skill they were still more or less able to use the weapon properly. Nobody was ballsy enough to challenge me to a pokemon battle though while I waited for the woman to return. Not to say that they were cowards or anything but merely that they had standing orders to maintain their combat strength at all times in the off case that a pokemon or group of them from the wild zone of the mountains decided to enter Rota.-

In no universe did an ace trainer battling an elite ever end with the aces pokemon walking away without serious injury. The power and skill difference between the two sides simply didn't allow it to happen. "Her majesty the royal Queen has requested your presence." a female voice sounded out as I casually fended off three spearmen in a mock fight. I looked at the sound and saw it was the woman that had brought me to this place.-

With a grunt I pushed the three men back slightly before back stepping and disengaging smoothly. "Now why would the Queen want to see me?" I asked the woman curiously. She shrugged "How would I know? I'm just the messager and escort in this case." she said honestly. "Lets hurry up and go then, best not to keep royalty waiting after all." I said while walking over to where Rune and Tank were just chilling. A short while later and I saw the capital of Rota in the distance, Cameron.-

It was a small city maybe the size of Rustboro and was set up on a island in the middle of the lake at the foot of the Aeon forest. The architecture was old and had a heavy emphasis on stone and wood. In the center of the island was the kingdoms royal castle with all the lovely little details and towers you might expect from such a place. Like much of the victorian era architecture on earth the castle was WAY too big to be entirely made with practicality in mind. Whether it was the white coloration of the stones that made up the walls or the red clay tiles on the roof Cameron castle was a sight to behold.-

I sighed but lightly tapped my pointer finger on the inscriptions energy intake point and sent a burst of aura into the dormant inscription. The old man watched in awe as the circuits of the inscription hummed to life like a great beast awakening from it's slumber. This particular inscription was nothing special as it was only a self cleaning enchantment meant to wipe away grime from the walls of this hallway.-

Still it made the old man happy and that alone was worth the effort as I would likely be in his care while I was here. I didn't intend to stay in Rota for long as I had stuff to do but while I was here I may as well play nice. I could understand what he meant about watching the castle degrade over time after activating the inscription as that wall of the hallway suddenly got brighter and brilliantly white compared to the off white they were before. Human cleaning methods only proved so effective so over time I imagined that castle had become discolored and less impressive to behold.
