Pumice Rock

This is the island in the center of the Decona region, and is so called because it was formed long ago out of lava which burst forth from the volcano in the middle of the massive Umbil Lake. The volcano is now inactive, and though there are not many inhabitants, a huge research center was built there over 30 years ago on the mostly-untouched island. Few Decona natives know what goes on in the lab, although there are a vast number of conspiracy theories, and a disproportionate number of Pokemorphs live on the island and work within the facility… At the lab, new trainers can ask for a Pokemon to begin their journey with, or may assist the lab aides in their research in other ways. There is a small town which has sprung up around the lab, and there is a hotel there, as well as a Pokemon Center and some restaurants and small, local shops, so if one plans on staying for long on Pumice Rock, it is possible without needing to camp out. However, since there is not much to do or see on the island for those who are not interested in science (and even those who are interested will likely not be allowed to see much of the lab), most new trainers and visitors quickly opt to take the ferry off the island and into the mainland. There are several ports on the island, manned by stern-faced Pokemorph captains, and it is possible to catch a ferry to just about anywhere in the region from here.
