Your reputation, including WANTED flyers, precede your arrival. Even to these remote parts. Though, to be fair, I’m quite informed for my position. What did you do to be Sinnoh’s most wanted?

Help in? Voiding your bounty or becoming favored to defeat our current reining? I’m a very curious person, you’ll find. What kind of friends do you mean?

Drawbacks? It takes an exorbitantly long time for my tax person to get here. And no hot pot. This way, please. Before we get into that. Tell me how in less than a year you’ve elevated from being the most wanted fugitive in Sinnoh to our favored next celebrated Champion, hm?

[ volo and orison lead chiyo and her feathered friend to a weathered yet structurally sound landing pad. he dismounts and orison takes off for a solo flight. ] Welcome.

[ the pair quickly reach the far end of the island, approaching a traditional sinnoh style villa overlooking the sea, set neatly onto a steep cliff. Ancient stone staircases trace whatever paths offer the least resistance down to the rocky coast below it. ] Company is a treasure to me.

Never alone, really. Many critically endangered Pokémon live on my half of the island. When the mines were abandoned I wanted privacy. What better way than to surround your home with a regionally protected sanctuary, hm? [ below, a lone ursaluna can be seen napping in a clearing of ginkgo trees ]

[ the two soar north and are flying low over the varied elevation. Cliffs of golden foliage contrast beautiful with the North Sinnoh sea on the horizon. the baron gestures to a jagged cliff as they zip around it. ] The lands north of here are my home. You’ll see I’m secluded. I value my solitude.

…Its wings are jagged and sharp looking. Yet the even with its dark qualities, it is still cheerful, but slightly subdued similar to the Baron ] Orison, let us show our new friend our home. Fly.

Then let us be off. My Togekiss, Orison, is a peculiar Togekiss. I assure you, he is healthy as can be, despite his unique coloring. [ he releases his Togekiss from latched, apricorn-made ball. the Pokémon is the color of aged yellow map paper with deep black coloration on its crown and wing tips.

Riley’s not a subject of mine, though our families have been co-inhabiters for a very long time. I enjoy his company. My lands are those north of the Rusty Peak. Do you Fly? I can give you an aerial tour if you’ve a strong flyer, or you may ride my Togekiss.

I see. I am Volodymyr. You may call me Volo. All of my couriers have called me Volo. I’m pleased to meet you. I am the Baron of the norther’n half of the main island of this archipelago. You’re familiar with Sir Riley then, I assume?

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 24/09/2026
Greetings, Ms. Chiyo. Welcome to Iron Island’s south dock. Have you visited before?
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 18/09/2026
Orison, we have company on the way. Will you escort her to the villa? She will be arriving near Sir Riley’s cottage.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 17/09/2026
We can discuss when you arrive.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 17/09/2026
Ah. Your name precedes you in more than one way.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 17/09/2026
Every few years, there’s an electricity in the air at the end of summer on Iron Island. Riley has only recently and in time come to notice this. It renders my joints stiff and my patience fluid.
000
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 17/09/2026
Very well. And what is your name?
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 17/09/2026
The circumstances were likely those of your everyday at the time, so I can understand. It’s rare I dabble in fossils. Regardless, congratulations on your appointment. I have no doubt you will serve Hoenn greatly.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 15/09/2026
You will? What are your qualifications?
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 15/09/2026
My secure courier is out of commission. Normally I’d inquire with Riley, who has been phenomenal in the past—so much so that I’ve offered him a full time role many times, to his annoyance. Regardless, I am in need of a white-glove service deliveryperson in the interim. Message me if interested.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 11/09/2026
I’m unfamiliar with this Trainer Chiyo. I’ll be interested to see how it pans out for us all. The Champion turnover has been…influential on the region since Cynthia’s departure.
000
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 11/09/2026
Hence why the last gala I attended was Cynthia’s coronation. Champion to-be. You haven’t faith in Rei’s kin?

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 10/09/2026
Kouki’s leadership… I see. I’ll accompany you. There will be murmurs about my presence, yes. Though I’m sure you have your own scene-stealing agenda, don’t you? I do normally prefer dressing myself… But I would like to blend in as much as possible…. Who is Chiyo?

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 10/09/2026
Tell me more before I promise.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 10/09/2026
I welcome any ending willingly.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 09/09/2026
…Though we all knew you were backwhere you were from. Or at least it’s what we chose to believe. And I hate myself for being the only one left to revel in your mystery’s terrible verisimilitude. The hero and I, the villain. You’ll always be the blessing of my curse.
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 09/09/2026
It’s true. We didn’t talk much back then aside from the pleasantries of trade and my apologies. And perhaps it was for good measure from a paradoxical point-of-view. We—Hisui—were never promised your company again. Your departure was perhaps more abrupt than your fall from heaven.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 08/09/2026
I’ll come to desire death one day. Truthfully, I’ve spent so long waiting for you, Kari.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 06/09/2026
I couldn’t even begin to imagine. I don’t have unfinished business, just mistakes. Luckily, 178 years serves to be less torturous to a curious mind. What would you do, if given presumably an eternity to live?

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 05/09/2026
I’m not entirely unwilling to gray. But you bring up a good point. How are you, Mayor Redwood? Or is it Chairwoman/Chair? Or both in the interim? I believe the last we interacted was when you were still at the University and I had inquired about the provenance of a rather unusual fossil.

Witnessing AZ, I often wonder how much color I will lose in my lifetime.

… I am… I’m not there yet. I still feel I have much to learn and experience. I’m still fascinated by this world. However… To learn he lived to be as old as he did was quite sobering… And that he was only granted death upon redemption. Something so abstract. I am still young in His grand scheme.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 04/09/2026
You’re disappointed I didn’t trade you my 200 year old rags, yet here I am with a funerary mask fragment from nearly a millennium ago engraved in a language dead before even I was born. …Why don’t you pay me a visit soon? I’m sure I can make it up to you…

I’ve traded many items of my own personal collection for favors. My last trip to Lumiose was short, but meaningful for a plethora of reasons. The least interesting being what the museum’s antiquities collection offered me. I was devastated to learn I’d missed the Ange event by only a few months.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 02/09/2026
More like It a pain in mine, hm? I didn’t mean for that to sound bitter, if I did… There’s no need to apologize. It’s just been ages since I’ve met someone whose appeal survived my becoming accustomed to their face.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 02/09/2026
I’ve committed to a lifetime’s worth of “choices” several times over, Akari. All of which you’ve been “lucky” enough to miss. None time-crossed, however. You will move on. Ironic coming from me, but: time heals all wounds. I only happen to be a special case.
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 02/09/2026
Unlucky, but you don’t believe in miracles~ We’re most eager to blame fortune when the alternative is admitting we chose poorly. Choosing poorly twice, however, may be cosmic. Eheheh. Perhaps space could do you both some good.

In Canalave City, there are rumors of the Baron, some vaguely recorded decades apart describing a man who never ages.
000
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 02/09/2026
His family’s fortune has afforded him a life devoted to antiquity. He is the secretive archivist of Canalave Library, a private collector, and global dealer in ancient relics.

The northern half of Iron Island belongs to a mysterious baron, whose villa stands high upon its coast on iron cliffs clad in ginkgo trees.

Though, the translation is lacking as the word for “love” was shared with “life.” They considered life without love to be something else. Beautiful, hm? I imagine language evolved once enough Celestecian prayers were provided their “four-head’d” answers.
100
Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 02/09/2026
Romantic, perhaps, from the pursuer’s perspective. To the one made to wait continuously, I suspect “miracle” would be a generous translation. I’m more reminded of the third Celestecian dynasty’s “Prayers of [love] enduring invite four-head’d answers.”

The migrating Wingull have learned my schedule. This happens at the end of every summer and yet I still can’t keep from sacrificing my lunch to them.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 01/09/2026
“when [the] name nor face nor [word cut off]… among uncounted we wait continuously” I think the final word which is cut off on the second line is the term for shadow, but in a spiritual context. The fifth line is hard to make out, but makes use of a symbol similar to one used to represent Dialga.

Volodymyr @ginkgo.pokenavs.net · 01/09/2026
I suppose I’m willing to depart with it for a short time knowing you’ll take care of it. Its age is impressive. Even for us. … It’s only a fragment. Like a hole punched out of the middle of a page from a book, but… yes. I can read it.

Consider this an open invitation. My side of the island has been so lonely. Ah, yes. Here it is. Small, yeah. But the face holds traces of a blue pigment that might be radiocarbon datable. The reverse side, which I believe would have touched the bridge of the deceased’s nose, has an inscription.
