East of town, the Crossroads was where many Pokémon passed a day, at least, when it was populated. West was Treasure Town proper, while south led to the beach. Up north was the looming building of Wigglytuff’s Guild that headed into the mountain, and finally, to the east, a long line of specialized Warp Tiles dotted the path on the left and right.
Each one had a signpost that indicated where the tile would lead. Several of them looked dusty from lack of use. Ever since Dungeons started fading, the need to go to several locations had dropped dramatically, and were often used instead for convenient travel across the continent.
The roads themselves were of packed, light-colored dirt and grass on the fringes. A watering hole sat at the northeast corner of the crossroads, while several trees decorated the other corners. A strange boulder made its home in the southwest portion of the plus-shaped path, looking well-traveled. Spinda Cave was beyond, but was currently abandoned due to the giant fish just east.

The team was hastily gathered and guided to the Crossroads.
“Ah, crap,” Soda shouted when the dual Magikarp landed just at the edge of Waypoint Road’s easternmost warps. “C’mon, guys!” Soda shouted. “If we take too long, chances are they’re gonna flop all the way in town! And then we’ll have a lot more property damage to deal with when this is over!”
If, Diyem groaned. Get ready, everyone.
Truffle flew over the two Magikarp—each one was several times the size of Wigglytuff’s Guild, though probably not as large as the internals within the cliff. Still, a single bad flop would mean crushing several buildings behind them.
Owen felt his breathing quicken, his fight with just one finally coming back to him at just that moment. “If either of them get mad, they might use Hydro Pump again—b-be careful!”
“We have to hold them back!” Truffle declared. “If we leave one alone for even an instant, they might wind up to splash all the way into town! Never let up! Rotate your strikes!”
Everyone, we have a precious few seconds to prepare. I am going to give you one more power, but it is not something that is very intuitive, so listen closely. When you are all battling as one against a common enemy, you may feel more in-tune with one another than usual, even without a word spoken. Trust your instincts; I am widening the connection between you all to maximize subconscious coordination. Please, do everything you can to stop them so we can finally gather our bearings…
