[OPEN TO ALL - Location: Everywhere, Ohritori]
[It's quiet at night, but not dead silent. In the streets of towns, there's still sounds of people, families gathered at home enjoying time together. Or Nocturnal Pokemon who'd skitter about, and communicating amongst one another.

There's a lone Parasol Lady walking down the nightly path--her parasol in one hand, and her phone in another. She's clearly panicked and will immediately stop anyone who's nearby.]

Did you see just now!? Up in the sky?! I saw it! I really did!

[Just what was she going on about?]

[In fact, if one were to go online that night many people of Ultern seemed to be buzzed with something up in the sky--]

Did anyone see this up in the sky just now?

[Attached is a blurry photo of something flying in the sky. A blue fish? It was hard to tell, really.]

How kewl is that?! If anyone knows what Pokemon it is tell me!!!!!!! I wanna catch it!!!

[Turnbloom + Gilterrace]
[Manzana, one of the flowershop keeper is out with his Marine pattern Vivillon not too far. There's a worried look on his face, as he seems to be searching for something. He'll soon approach anyone that's near by.]

Excuse me? I'm looking for a friend of mine...have you happen to see him? He's this tall, muscular, blonde...

(Happy May everyone! Feel free to pester any of the NPCs here, or mingle amongst yourselves, speculate about the strange sighting etc!)

[Today, X can be found in the lobby of the Pokemon Center in Gilterrace Town He's not alone as Coiffe the Quaxly, and Kanga and Li'l Kanga his Kangaskhan family. Kanga seems to be watching over Coiffe who is waddling around them, letting out a few quacks to anyone walking a little too close to them.

X meanwhile had his attention to a magazine he had in hand, barely sparing a glance to anyone approaching. He just might go back to reading what's clearly a travel guide, but he didn't look busy to NOT participate in any conversation someone might be wanting to throw him into.]

Hello, Would you care to join me for tea?

[Lillie is having a little tea party on a picnic mat! It's not a pretend tea party with dollies, she's not a baby (although she has just one Poke Doll stashed away in her bag), she has real tea in her teapot, as well as a sugar pot and milk (... boxes, because they keep better on the road and powdered milk doesn't taste quite so nice) and everything! She has many more tea bags stashed away in a picnic basket. Although she can steep tea, at least, Lillie can hardly cook or bake, so all of the snacks come from the Glitterace Town Pokemon Center's Cafe: Ribombee Chocolate Cakes and Scorbunny Berry Sandwiches, as well as chinsuko biscuits to eat with tea.
She even made a cute little sign and taped it to the tree she's sitting under the shade of, which read in neat and pretty, but large letters: "♥ Lillie's tea party! ♥
Free for people, as well as small and medium-sized Pokemon
(*Large-sized Pokemon must be gentle and well-behaved)"

She has some ulterior (educational!) motive for all of this, but this truly is simply a tea party.]

((You know, in case the cafe post isn't enough, we now have a "Lillie has a picnic tea party outside" post, where she'll try to teach characters tea etiquette.))

You better watch out or don't actually as Delibird is here with a gift in hand. Not just one but a whole group of Delibirds. They’re all Ulternian Delibirds as they’re seen waddling outside of the town up to Overlook Hil

Gathered as a group the Delibirds will squawk together, with their gaze lifted up towards the sky. Clouds begin to cover the sky with snow slowly but surely covering the ground of the usually tropical island. From here, there, and everywhere everyone will see snow.

Up over at Overlook Hill those who are nearby will see a beautiful, shimmering blue bird–a lone Articuno perched atop the viewing deck letting out a melodic cry followed by a flap of its wings. It seemed the legendary bird was sending all of Ultern one last gift for all to enjoy.

I: Turnbloom City
[ A flash of light, bands of shifting, variegated colours, and Porygon-2 suddenly materialises from the PC of the Pokémon Center. For a moment its large, unblinking eyes bore directly into yours, perhaps examining you, perhaps merely disoriented — but soon its large, plasticky head swivels atop its thin neck, facing Nurse Emi behind the counter. It then — speaks? — in a stilted, robotic voice, the source of which is revealed to be the collar it's wearing — as a matter of fact, the only thing it's wearing. ]

FIXED VIRUS. BUT.

[ It seems to be thinking — as much as a long pause and an unemotive face can communicate thinking, anyway. ]

NOT JUBILIFE. WHERE?

II: Gilterrace Town
[ What's that floating on the pond at the foot of the rice terraces? Why, a digital drinking bird, of course, its eyes lazily, contentedly closed as it bobs up and down on the waves. Around its neck, there rests an odd rectangular contraption with a small screen hanging from a metal collar, and when the Pokémon opens its eyes and catches you, sound crackles forth from the speaker. ]

ULSAI.

[ The small screen — now revealed to be an LED display — also lights up, displaying each word the box pronounces in all capital letters. It's clear that this is some kind of thought-to-speech programme for the Pokémon! ]

SUNNY. NEED SOMETHING?

III: Wild card! Make something up and Porygon-2 will roll with it.

FRIENDSHIP: Turnbloom City - Battle Park

[It's been many, many weeks ever since the day he drifted into Ultern, and Ash is finally grown accustomed to the region so far. One place he likes frequently visiting to is Battle Park, as he meets many different trainers he could have battles with in order to hone his team's skills. It's a great place for him to kill some time and have fun.

Of course, today is not a day for Pokemon Battles (although he's not about to turn down to any challenge!) as he wants to get to know his newly caught Ulternian Dunsparce better. Behind Ash are his other Pokemon who seem to be either curious or worried about the newcomer.

Ash then crouches down to Dunsparce's level and opens his arms.]

C'mon now buddy, don't be shy! All you gotta do is just say hell-AGH!

[Before Ash could even finish, Dunsparce agressively slams himself against Ash's stomach.]

HSSSSS!!! HSSSSS!!!

[All of Ash's Pokemon are now protesting against Dunsparce's behavior while their Trainer is laying down, dazed, winded and now unsure how to approach this. Come and help him?]

OUTBREAK: Route 3 - Lake Lapis

[Ash picked up on the info that there had been a sudden massive mass outbreak of Pokemon not native to Ultern appearing in the region. According to his source, they said that these Pokemon came from the region of Paldea, a place that Ash has yet to visit. And some of these groups of Paldean Pokemon are confirmed to be sighted in Route 3. With his curiosity piqued, Ash decides to head there in hopes of finding one for himself.

Soon enough, you can find both Ash and Pikachu now hiding quietly behind a bush as they watched a flock of Flamigos hanging out by the lakeshore.]

I wonder what kind of Pokemon these guys are...?

[Ash aims his camera at the Flamigos in order for his Rotom Phone to pull up a Pokedex entry about them. But unfortunately he's not getting anything, leaving the young boy to wonder.]

SURROUNDED: Gilterrace Town

[It's lunch time, and what he's in the mood for today is a sandwich! And of course, there's a sandwich shop in Gilterrace that he's been wanting to check out for a while.

But instead, he and Pikachu found themselves at the sidewalk surrounded by a pack of Fidoughs curiously sniffing and playing with the pair.]

Haha! Stop it, that tickles!

WILDCARD: Wherever in OHRITORI ISLAND

[If you'd like your character to meet up with Ash in some other way, go for it! Ash is happy to strike a conversation, and he's pretty much free to do whatever he likes and go wherever he likes. ~~Unless you're Lear and have ERRANDS for him!!~~]

Link’s Awakening || Turnbloom City - Stardust Beach
She woke up on an unfamiliar beach.

That might be strange and alarming for most people, but Akari, lying flat on her back, couldn’t help but laugh about it.

“…So we’re doing this again, huh?” she asks the wide open sky with a wry sort of smile. After a moment, she sits up, fumbling around in the pocket of her Survey Corp gear and pulling out a strange-looking phone. No cryptic godly messages, huh? At least not yet. Hmm… curious.

Well, nothing to be gained by sitting around! She stands up and pats herself off, glancing around for the nearest landmarks. Do you happen to overhear her? Or maybe you just caught sight of her on the shore? Either way, the past and the present are once again about to collide and a new adventure is about to unfold…!

Kirby’s Dream Buffet || Gliterrace Town - Bistro Le Yago
The curiously-dressed girl in front of you in line at the restaurant has been waffling about what to order. Her travels had led her to the nearby town and the journey had made her quite hungry.

“Hey, do you have any potato mochi?”

It’s a decidedly ~~Hokkaidoan~~ Sinnohan snack, and a rather traditional one, at that. Maybe you’ve heard of it in an old cook book?

“No? Well, that’s okay. I’ll just take a dozen of whatever the specialty here is!” A…a dozen? Can she really eat that much?!

Art Academy || Pretty much anywhere!
Old habits die hard and Akari found herself instinctively compelled to start taking notes and recording information about the unfamiliar Pokémon she was encountering here in Ultern. Catch her crouching behind some bushes or a rock, carefully taking notes or sketching the shape of an Ulternian Pokémon. Maybe she’s sketching a rare Palssio along the shore, or maybe she’s hiding behind some bushes taking notes about a pack of Pichu! The possibilities are endless!

Breath of the Wild || Route 3
Or maybe, just maybe… she’s running. Running full tilt, being chased by a Pokémon. What Pokémon? It looks like an Ulternian Blissey and man, it’s hauling ass! Sort of surprising given what stumpy little legs they have. Akari is keeping ahead of it, but just barely. She could probably use some help.

[ooc: Wildcards welcome too, come at me with whatever idea you have! And feel free to use brackets if you prefer - I’ll match you!]

LOCATION: Gilterrace Town - Churahana Flower Shop
[Out at the front of the store Manzana can be spotted sweeping stray leaves. All the while he doesn't notice there's a tiny little helper walking around the vicinity. Said little helper--a Gimmighoul in its roaming form eventually stopped, and stared at a Coinpur that was napping right at the steps of the flower shop's door.

It’s not until Manzana moves away from sweeping to rearrange one of the floral decorations that he catches Gimmighoul from the corner of his eyes. Halting his work he turned to look at Gimmighoul. Taking note of how it was tugging at Coinpurs’ coin a deep frown formed on Manzana’s lips.]

Gimmighoul don't you dare touch that coin! It isn't for you! [There’s a pause.] ...wait a second, a Gimmighoul? Here...?

[There’s a startled sound Gimmighoul lets out before running leaving a stunned Manzana.]

...wait! Gimmighoul, come back!

Location: Route 1
[Manzana can be seen with a group of Smolivs in his arms. He’s holding them tight as they’re letting out terrified screams. The problem wasn’t the fact he was carrying them as he ran–the problem was what was behind them: a very, angry Ulternian Dunsparce.

If anyone were to come across him, while Manzana won’t stop in his tracks he will call out to them.]

Run! It’s Dunsparce! Ay, I didn’t–ah!! Run!!! They’re dangerous!

[He’s yelling out in rapid succession. It seemed he was not only concerned for the shivering Pokemon he held but also the safety of anyone else in Dunsparce’s line of sight.]

As the sun is beginning to set, a crowd gathers around Gilterrace's town plaza, some of them holding their freshly harvested goods from their fields. One by one, they pile them in front of a small shrine and fold their hands together as they begin to chant.

"May you bless our offerings as we wish for another bountiful harvest to come."

Unbeknownst to the townsfolk, Calyrex has been watching them at a distance with a look of intrigue. He too would like to bring happiness to these people, knowing they have worked hard for this. And clearly offering a more bountiful harvest is just what he's good at!

After a moment of deliberation, the legendary Pokemon hovers over the food pile while glowing in a gentle blue light, and starts doing a little jig. And with a wave of his left hand, all of the fruits and vegetables around Gilterrace start growing until they are twice larger than their usual size.

As the crowd cheers and rejoices, the strums of the sanshin could be heard and playing a very cheery yet familiar tune to some of the drifted out there. This also draws in many Pokemon, wild or not, joining amongst the crowd, though there is a noticably fair amount of Ghost-types gathering as well. And with Calyrex dancing along to the music, they all soon start to sway their arms from side to side as they dance alongside the King of Bountiful Harvests.

Much like with the summer festival, it is a sign that today's festivities is drawing to a close. And they will keep dancing until the music finally stops the moment the night falls.

(🌺 This marks the end of the event! Feel free to join in the partying, make friends with ghosts, or get a free enlarged produce to take home! 🌺)

It’s a nice, fine day in the Ohritori Island of Ultern. The sun is warm and bright with the salty cool breeze playfully swaying through the grass, trees and flowers that are in full bloom. The people specifically those in Gilterrace Town are setting up decorations made with pumpkins. There are even trainers who are out fitting Pokemon in costume.

Amongst it all, near the edge of the town no one notices a lone figure watching the festivities both people and Pokemon seem to be helping one another prepare for. They’re watching from behind a shadow of a large tree, with their bright blue eyes full of intrigue and awe. They seem hesitant in revealing themselves from the shadow–but there’s a welcoming scent wafting through the air of the farming town of Gilterrace.

In the town center there’s a huge setup full of people and Pokemon in costumes gathering around setting up what looked to be a huge feast. The sounds of their laughter and excitement can be heard over the food that’s being prepared.

“If only there was some way…hm…! I know what to do! I will just blend in with them and get a costume of my own!”

It seems yet another festival was brewing–the populace of the town oblivious to the machinations of the one hidden away in the shadows, watching carefully. Stepping out of the shadow, the Legendary Pokemon Calyrex smiled. Yes, this was a wonderful idea. Soon the children of men and Pokemon alike will all remember them just like in the past!
