welcome to the five point islands, where "how's the weather?" is no longer just phone call etiquette. known for its resort-like reconstructions, as well as the unexplained legends of its shrouded origin that kept visitors away long ago, tourist and upcoming coordinators flock the islands throughout the year. since it’s opening, aleteo academy stands as one of the most prestigious institutes for young students, as well as the only coordinator-focused one in all five regions. coral reefs, natural springs, a bubbling volcano, the famous absol at townsquare— there’s certainly quite a few mysteries that lie here. please read the rules before you register with an account!

ALETEO ACADEMY
First Floor (3 sub-boards) this is as far as most visitors are allowed to wander, unless they are taking a guided tour of the academy. painted portraits, pictures of grand festival champions that were once students themselves, tea for the guests in expensive china, it fulfills the expectations of nervous parents. there is a grand ivory piano set in the corner, the floor decorated with marble pillars and making known achievements of the school.

15
Second Floor (2 sub-boards) just as ornate as the first floor, the second floor is home to a student retreat; the library, lounge, and--sadly--classes are found on this floor. the grand hall is adorned with past coordinating wins, articles and awards from aleteo alumni. the faculty at the academy hope to inspire each generation of students with these hanging displays of encouragement.

Classrooms (6 sub-boards) the classrooms at aleteo academy are like your typical class: two rows of desks are aligned in a semi-circle around the front of the room where the professor's desk resides, while a blackboard on the wall provides a primitive display when notes are being taken. here, the professors use their specific expertise to train their young protégés into winning contest participants. six classrooms are located on the second floor of aleteo academy.

34
Third Floor (3 sub-boards) the entire third floor of aleteo is dedicated to the housing of its students and staff. like any self respecting academy of their prestige, aleteo separates their students. the entire third floor is split into three wings. the east wing, which houses the boys dormitories, the center wing, which houses the faculty dormitories, and finally the west wing, which keeps our female students nice and cozy. sneaking into other dorms is frowned upon, and can be punishable... if a professor finds you, that is.

50
Rooftops (2 sub-boards) vast in size, the flat rooftops are hard to access, yet a constant visiting grounds for students that mange to find the stairs. the area is free terrain, no one bothers to check up here anymore, or at least anyone that cares, beach chairs and odd bird baths set up from over time. somewhere for private matters, socializing or having lunch, the rooftops are a yard of discarded furniture-- crumbled sculptures, old fountains, and even a laundry line.

North Tower overlooking a large amount of the academy, as well as varela's city streets and the other islands in the distance, aleteo's north tower is nothing to be trifled with. it stands at an incredible height of 100', its highest windows giving daring students a chance to touch soaring flying types. lying at the absolute top of the circular tower is the very reason the structure was even built -- an observatory. students are often brought here for lessons in constellations and the legends surrounding the starry sky. a large, spacious dome-like room houses several small telescopes, each lining the wide, glass-less archways that act as windows. the beast of a telescope sitting on the far side of the room faces north, and happens to take up a good chunk of the school (not to mention the island) budget.

School Grounds (2 sub-boards) the gardeners and florist hired keep the academy as if it were the meticulous cover of a brochure; trimming the hedges, keeping the flower boxes alive, small things that are done throughout the day. living up to its reputation as more a resort than a boarding school, students are free to linger anywhere they like. there are silver gates at the entrance, dark historical lampposts and wooden benches at every corner.

Classical Theatre built airy with small, intricate designs, the semi-circle stage is kept darkly lit until use. an orchestral chamber, strung lights combined with thick draperies, the theater is used for formal affairs. the high balcony boxes are left empty often while the seats are worn from use. students may use it for appeal practice, but other than that the room is mainly kept for lectures and fine art performances.

Corridors and Hallways of course, the above locations are not the only place you can rp. the winding corridors of aleteo are very fascinating in their own right. expensive, yet completely useless artwork hangs on every available wall space; equally expensive and useless sculptures are displayed below them. this is essentially the "other" board. other locations included here are the washrooms, janitor's closets, nooks and crannies, and whatever your heart desires. knock yourself out.

VARELA ISLAND
Farola Canals the main mode of transportation around the town of varela are the famous saltwater canals, which act as a network of streets. students and islanders rent or own gondolas to travel around, or pay to be rowed by gondoliers waiting at every corner. there are even ducklett paddleboats available for rent, rather popular on dates or family outings. pokémon especially love to ride around.

Santa Elena (1 sub-board) surrounding the east and southeast portions of the island, the wooden boardwalk is where the inhabitants of varela go to escape the hustle of resort island life. a direct line from the academy to the marketplace. walking by, you can often smell the oil of funnel cakes and spurning of cotton candy. it's busy on weekends, as well as nights-- which are the best time to visit santa elena. with a variety of features, games (why not win a stuff animal?) or entertainment or even carnival rides depending on season, it is one of the main tourist attractions. a neon ferris wheel, one of the biggest in all of the regions, is always in working motion.
Caja de Música Café busy as can be from dawn 'til dusk, caja de música is a little slice of heaven even if you can barely sit down long enough to enjoy your caffè macchiatos and lattés. wrought iron chairs padded with luxurious violet cushions, the service, desserts, and even pokémon treats at the 'music box' are of highest quality. students are often found here, pining after their daily caffeine fixes.

Alas de Mariposa contemporary, sleek, dimly lit and secluded, alas de mariposa is the epitome of romance on the main island of varela. with exquisite cuisine served to you by top chefs from around the regions, soft jazz played to you by a live band, and comfortable, cozy booths to bring you and your date closer together, the most prestigious restaurant on varela will be sure to wow you every time. oh, and did we mention that there are tables available on the beach?

Conchas de Mar Beach crowded during the day and a perfect getaway at night, conchas de mar has been a hotspot for tourists and islanders alike. light sand and untainted water, it might be a slight struggle to find somewhere to place your towel. dotted with ice cream vendors, colorful parasols, and forgotten flip-flops, the beach is the host for many events. here you can treat yourself - and your pokémon - to a day of rest, relaxation, and fun!

Paseo Verde once the most active place on the island (as it was known as a port), the paseo verde pier is now a loading dock for students who wish to travel between the islands who have a ferry pass. the pier is also home to those equipped with lines and lures in hopes of catching a few prized pokémon over the end of the dock. it's said that paseo verde is home to some of the most fantastic sunsets islanders have ever seen.

Beacon Luces the beacon light. standing atop an intimidating cliff is the beacon luces, the beacon light. to the citizens of varela, beacon luces is a symbol of protection and safety -- without it, they would feel lost and vulnerable. the large, beefy tower has seen better days; the dull candy swirl stripes were probably vibrant and bright back in the day, like the traditional uplifting attitude of the city it protects. inside of the lighthouse seems rather boring and normal during the day. at night, however, the beacon light is off limits to everyone. no one is sure why, though...

CÁMARA ISLAND
Rocío Jungle (2 sub-boards) a vast, dense, humid forest of oversized fronds and bamboo, the jungle is home to a wide array of grass, bug, and poison-type pokémon. berries can be found here, as well, so before when walking under the trees.the fauna here is exceptional, as bursts of colour from an assortment of wild flowers produce the most beautiful and soothing aromas in this group of islands. but beware! these petals bursting with colour attract the wild elemental creatures lurking in the lush greens and blues of this wild maze.

Canela Springs the natural mineral pools, untouched by human hands, are geothermally heated and the main reason people travel to camara island. shrouded by steam, as well as the spray of lluvia waterfalls outside the hollow, canela springs are kept open like a public spa by generous resorts on verela island. it said the water here heals sickness and wounds, warding away bad omen.

Carta Amorosa colonies of tiny living animals are found in the "rainforest of the sea" forming something like a barrier around the island. scuba divers and strong swimmers may choose to venture far out in the ocean here, by either surf or a daily tour boats. despite being sunny and strangely shallow, the water is often agitated off the coast of camara island. chance storms around the reef are rare, but violent. you must have HM06 Dive to post here.

Venenosa Caverns an underwater nook and cranny that was broken off from the reef, venenosa caverns have become a popular hang out for older students since its grand opening. requiring HM06 Dive, to get to the swim-up bar/café underneath the surface, one must travel through the deep tunnels of coral, seaweed, and curious fish. it is a short route, however, opening into a breathable grotto. full of odd, dusty antiques (glass perfume jars or champagne bottles or sea glass) and dull treasures collected off the bottom of the ocean, the interior is straight off of the little mermaid. not many know about the isolated location, a silly rumor to some, and perhaps it is meant to stay that way in case someone gets too greedy with star pieces and pearls.

Alto Cerúlea deep within the earth, these glacier caverns are unlike any other. crystalline and frozen, the seasons seem to pass in a state of eternity. glowing ice crystals penetrate the dark walls of the meadow gone to ruin, a strange pale light seeming to pulse from within. it is not easy to fathom how far the caves reach; no one particularly wants to try. delicate flowers do bloom, sculpted into the ice like art. temperatures are cold, it would wise if one wore a heavy jacket-- and maybe a knit scarf. and gloves. and boots. ice pokemon roam here, accustomed to the hiding places.

ISLA DE MURMULLO
Murmullo Flat Lands destroyed huundreds of years ago by the volcano, this portion of the island is home to ghost and psychic types. as their combined psychic energies icnreased, it has attracted the likes of electric types. with the three types taking over, the ground glows blue with electrical currents while the psi energies produces a zero-gravity tolerance--you float over the electrified ground. it also holds a dark air ...

Abandoned Topiary a thorny labyrinth of overgrown shrubbery, the topiary was once cared for by the grass types and humans in the area. after the destruction of life on this island, the pokemon left have gone rampant. the once fanciful living sculptures are barely recognizable anymore. you must have HM01 Cut to post here.

Ancient Grounds once known as "torre de marfil", these decrepit structures are overgrown and hidden from view. it was once said that ancient and traditional rituals were performed here. the rare dragon type may be found in this area. you must have HM01 Cut to post here.

Cielo Plateau the west side of the island is where you'll find cielo plateau, the only location on murmullo that doesn't seem menacing. overlooking the ocean, one may use the flat, endless sea below to sunbathe if they dare, most come here just for the view. flying types are the reigning pokémon here, taking solace in the calm.

LAJAS ISLAND
Para Siempre a beast of a mountain. the pride and joy of these islands. the massive, semi-active volcano, nicknamed "para siempre" by the civilians, takes up a large portion of lajas. it covers most, if not all, of the island; the only other locations being the spooky cloud forest and the even spookier catacombs at the base of the mountain. fire types, rock types, steel types, and basically any hardass, scary as fuck pokemon lurks around these parts. in fact, they gradually get scarier as you advance upwards -- it's advised that you don't get too close to the top, though... this volcano is awfully weird... you must have HM08 Rock Climb to post here.

Manos de la Muerte no one in their right mind should be wandering around ancient catacombs that are nicknamed "death's hands" by the local folk. no one knows much about this place. just that it's incredibly creepy, and happens to hold thousands of dead bodies. the real question is how these people died... you sure can't ask the ground and rock types trotting along here, so you'll have to figure it out on your own... you must have TM70 Flash to post here.

Bosque de Niebla ashes from the last volcanic eruption from the para siempre have fallen over the southern area of lajas island, staining the remaining skeletal structures of tree limbs that have somehow stayed intact. the clouds here are smoky, creating a foggy atmosphere. fire types lurk in these clouds, as they have been emitting a heat for hundreds of years. fighting types can also be found here, as the grounds provide many sources of physical training. you must have HM10 Defog to post here.

ESPINA SANDBAR
Espina Shipwrecks forced to their doom by an unknown force, the espina shipwrecks are constantly drenched from the perpetual downpour that surrounds this end of the sandbar. stronger dark and ghost types can be found here. you must have TM70 Flash to post here.

Whirlpools the whirlpools surrounding espina sandbar have been considered the reigning cause for the beached and sunken ships meaning to make port on varela island. stronger water types can be found here. you must have HM09 Whirlpool to post here.
