Corsage Port
You hasten to town with 4 hours left to nightfall.
Corsage is by far the biggest populace you've encountered yet in Creshire. Most of them are not permanent residents - but even right now, on an average day, there are more people bustling about than in the entirety of Ginger Town during their popular festival.
But for such a big, bustling, productive, town - there's an air of sadness about. It comes from the sea, washing in like a wave.
The houses are often large, with multiple stories. One out of every five or six houses has a high balcony facing the sea, winding about the houses, affixed with guard rails or windows or portals. Too many sailors just never came home, and now their widows walk these balconies in despair, haunted by the ghosts of the ocean's past.
You can see Wailmer in the distance, and swimmers with their Alomomala heading out from the gold-bricked lighthouse. A fog rolls in from that cove, warning everyone with a drop of foresight in their bodies that the sea contains things more dangerous than Wailord. Foreboding lives in the very bones of this city.
The Gym does nothing to alleviate this feeling. It is a large manor house, with a tower modeled after the lighthouse. All the stone is alabaster, a milky white scarcely visible in the fog. The top of the tower, with staring windows and crenelations, grimaces like teeth. The Gym Leader has his own widow's walk, high above the cliffs of the sea, but not too far from the shallower ports.
The docks are the heart of commerce, providing trade all over Creshire and to regions beyond, shipping across the sea. Gray ships fly gray sails against the gray sky. The sailors and their cargo are more colorful; you see plenty of red and green crates holding trainer supplies or crafts or even works of art, and the sailors usually wear bright blues and silvers. Their language is very colorful too. Some of the crates are marked with a grinning Rapidash - Mallorn's business empire is here too.
Not everything in town is gloomy, either. The statue of the Gym Leader is decorated with carnations, chrysanthemums, lilies, hydrangeas, roses, and elderberry blossoms. Shiva's mystic book says each of these corsages has a unique meaning - luck, meditation, death, understanding, passion, faith. The aquarium is painted in all bright colors, and decorated with colorful aquatic Pokemon murals. And when a sailor returns unexpectedly or after many dangers, their family almost always hosts a celebration!
The courthouse is in the center of town, and is constantly visited by sailors needing permits or being fined for minor offenses. The Pokemon Center is right across from it, surprisingly far from the gym.
Instead of a PokeMart, they have an open air market.
Shiva spots a crazed man in tattered clothes holding a sandwichboard sign. It reads, simply, "DON'T FALL ASLEEP."
