The southeastern portion of the Hoenn region is almost entirely covered by water. Scattered across the vast sea are small points of interest, like Victory Road, Pacifidlog Town, the rumored Mirage Island, and... the Sky Pillar. Usually the legendary tower is sought out by trainers from all over the world for the strong Pokémon that dwell within its walls. However, as of late, many adventurers who have gone off in search of the ancient structure haven't been heard from, prompting searches by authorities, who currently suspect the Aqua Gang to be behind the disappearances. The infamous group has denied the claims.

Little do they know... the Sky Pillar's true secret is much, much more dangerous.

This took me longer than usual since I'm trying out a new style of shading. I don't usually ask for critiques on drawings since I still have a lot to learn, but I'll enable them for this deviation since it might be helpful to know what you all think, and if I should keep shading like this or go back to the old way.
