Happy Fizzypendence Day

Visiting the Play and the Concert.

 

Watching the Parade, and then heading to the Bonfire.

 

Unfortunately I don’t have time to RP until the pickup post, but Robin, Anna and their Pokémon will be going to the Picnic first, before stopping by the Bonfire.

 

Placeholder post. Will likely try to RP upon pickup, but taking Atzu II the Azumarill and Pippa the Piplup to watch the Parade first, followed by the Bonfire.

 

Will RP the pickup post, hopefully, but Drew, Rotom, and co. will be having shenanigans at the Parade. They'll probably then relax and reminisce at the fireworks, but at the same time the tremendous Varis Marivaldi will be gracing the Concert with his and his troupe's presence.

 

Pickup post will be RPed, but we'll be hitting the decathlon to watch some events, then heading for the bonfire to relax.

 

Literally last second so I have no time to RP, but I'll go to the Picnic and then the Rave!

 

Uhh oops this is literally the last second so I understand if I'm too late, but if not I'd like to do the Parade and the Bonfire!

 

As the day comes to an end, the Fireworks gives off its epic finale, the concert's main event ends with their most popular song "Let Us Go", the bonfires' wood gets all burnt up, and the Rave had a slow song for all to dance to. All screens in the city turns to central park one last time as the mayor stands on the podium. Beside him is the large lake where Nessie, the mascot, can be found floating and having fun. "Thank you all for coming to this event and I hope you had lots of fun. Of course each of these events had their own goodies that I'm sure all of you found for yourselves and enjoyed. We hope to see you next year, maybe with even more festivities, and possibly event a live Pokemon event. Who knows?" He starts laughing allowed while twirling his magnificient mustache.


"All jokes aside, I'm glad to be part of this event. It makes me proud to know that there are so many out here that can celebrate such a momentous event. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart."


He bows out as each of you reflect on your own prizes for the day.


-----




Alice Hope: Your float has won the hearts of thousands to the crowd. Its colorful design won you a prize of some glittery Stardust, but one of the fans in particular given you something that would fit the theme even better. A set of seals, likely meant to represent the Queen of Hearts. The rave was on your heart, but the music of the concert called out to you as well. One particular band decided to give you some of their music, maybe for you to remember them by, called Defog Discos.


Prizes: 1 set of heart seals, and 5 Stardust worth 350$ each; and 3 TMs of Defog

-----


OkikuMew: You decided that you would participate the parade with your eyes rather than go in on center stage. One float that whizzed by started throwing out prizes left and right. They would load into what appeared to be an old war cannon and fire it out above the crowd leaving behind a plume of smoke. One prize happens to fall in your hands, some of the residual smoke perhaps? And a few doubloons. Afterwards came the rave. Lots of lights shining everywhere and trainers all socializing out and about. As you continued partying you noticed a shiny glint at the side. Upon closer inspection you notice that its origin was a set of silvery Pokeballs.


Prizes: 1 set of Smoke Seals, and 6 Gold coins worth 300$ each; and 4 Steel Balls



-----



Balmund: You on the other hand went for the Decathlon. Your pokemon participated at first by walking over a hot bed of coals. Then they ended up running a quick race, where one of them grabbed the finishing banner, a scarf. Afterwards, you went to the concert where you were given some CDs by the popular band “Right Back At Ya!” with their main song “Counter-Productive”.



Prizes: Charcoal, 5 Fire Gems, Silk Scarf, 5 Normal Gems; and 3 TMs of Counter



-----

Gemini Spark: You decide to take your mons out on a gorging spree full of food and snacks. As your team finishes their complimentary picnic basket provided by Silph Co.™ they find one additional snack that they cannot eat from their full tummies, so they hand it to you, something that appears to be a local delicacy, it feels icy to the touch. Come nighttime however and their bellies start growling once again, this time though they start munching on some marshmallows by the bonfire and leave some for you along with a few berries.



Prizes: Kebia Dog; and 5 Shuca Berries, 5 Rare Candies, and 7 Marshmallows

Spoiler

Kebia Dog – a hot dog placed inside the shell of a dried Kebia Berry before it is chilled. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel less hydrated and learn the moves Aurora Beam and Ice Shard

-----



King Ghidorah: Deciding to take your Pokemon to the Decathlon they end up trying out the javelin, picking up a spear and throwing it. However, you find that both spear tips are loose, as it turns out neither was a part of the spear at all, but rather some items. Afterwards, you decide that going to the Rave would be best. As you and your mons start to dance to the Rave, some Pokeballs end up scattered about. You find a set for you to keep for yourself.



Prizes: Poison Barb, 5 Poison Gems, Dragon Fang, 5 Dragon Gems; and 4 Normal Balls



----

Skunkaru: You go an attend watching the parade. The differently designed floats go down the street, each one full of as much energy as the last. One of the parade floats accidentally drops a couple of items near you, ones that your Pokemon may pick up. However, there wasn’t any major incidents near you besides that. Afterwards, you decide that the fireworks show is next, though your Pokemon keeps bringing back various glowsticks they find. However, Taro’s last trip brings you some items other than glow sticks. They brought back what looked to be a red sphere, an old dry rock, and some sort of shiny ring.

-----



134: The prospect of food called out to you and your Alolan Raichu. As you both eat up some of the delicious food provided by the judges, you end up with your own prize, apparently a teabag good for one cup of tea. Afterwards, you enjoy a seat while watching the fireworks launch into the air, filling the night sky with a dazzling display of colors. Your Raichu was given a number of items for it to hold during the event and for you to keep afterwards, a beautiful purple sphere, a wet stone, and some sort of yellow bonnet.



Prizes: Durin Tea; and 1 Toxic Orb, one Damp Rock, and 1 Chick Bonnet

-----



Marion Ette: You decide to try out the play, even though you obviously didn’t really want to, it just happened to be in the way. You end up doing your part in the play pretty well and ended up with a couple of leftover incense sticks used to create the atmosphere. Your Stuffel, on the other hand, finds a really shiny rock that it liked and kept it. Afterwards, came the Rave. As your Stuffel started dancing and making a fool of itself on the dance floor, you find a set of Pokeballs nearby.



Prizes: Luck Incense, Pure Incense, Shiny Stone; 4 Flying Balls



-----



Missingno._Master: You ended up going to the parade having your Ditto transform into a giant float while several of your other Pokemon disguise themselves as Wynaut. All in all it was a very convincing performance, one that got the attention of some of the other onlookers. Several golden statuettes were thrown onto your float, probably as an odd way of showing their appreciation of your arts. At the end of the parade, one of the authorities hands you a set of seals and tells you that it’s for a celebration of a job well done. Later in the night, you decide to relax by the bonfire and teach your pokemon the proper way of burning some marshmallows. It seems that your Pokemon learned quickly and made their own delicious treats, however, your bag still ended up with several marshmallows, berries, and candies left, ones that might help them remember this good time.



Prizes: 1 set of party-pop seals, and 8 Shiny Golden Egg Statuettes worth 225$ each; 5 Rindo Berries, 4 Rare Candies, and 8 Marshmallows

-----



Astre: You ended up watching the parade at a distance, one where you can overlook the whole thing without disturbing anyone. As you continue to watch, one of the floats caught your eye, a Plusle and a Minun giving out kisses to the crowd. As you reminisce, your foot gets caught on something on the floor, a bunch of darkened ash, but even you couldn’t smoke this much, nor was anyone really nearby that could have either. Attached to it was an unused set of seals. Afterwards, you ended up going to the concert. The patriotic tunes weren’t something you were particularly fond of, but you did meet a couple of fans of your works. One of them left you with a set of CDs, on it said “Waterfall Treble and Bass”.



Prizes: 1 set of Star Seals, and 10 Piles of Soot work 175$ each; and 3 TMs of Waterfall



-----



Faiyaa: You ended up going to the picnic. After getting your basket you enjoy a nice hearty and healthy meal, and at the end there was some dessert leftover, some Pecha Cobbler. In addition, you ended up going to a concert catching what appeared to be a band based after Foretress, they were giving out their latest CD, “You Make my Heart Spin like a gyro ball”.



Prizes: Pecha Cobbler, and 3 TMs of Gyro Ball

Spoiler

Pecha Cobbler – A sweet dessert with Pecha Berries put in it. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel very refreshed and learns the moves Sweet Kiss and Draining Kiss.

-----



Severus Snope: You ended up going to the parade, one of the floats used some amazing pyrokinetics that ended up handing you some seals as a sort of handout. But for you the big show wasn’t the parade, but rather the rave. You were ready to dance till the morning sun, even if your performance might not be up for the task. Still though, at the Rave you find something by one of the fog machines, it seems to be some Pokeballs generating their own fog, but no one seemed to have lost them, thus their yours now.



Prizes: : 1 set of Flame Seals and 5 Silver Scales worth 355$ each; and 4 Ghost Balls.



-----



Maskerade: You ended up going to the Decathlon. You ended up winning a pair of sunglasses, which could either make you look cooler, or at the very least block your eyes from the bright sun. In addition, you also got a spike that was on the ground, thankfully no one stepped on it. Eventually, though you ended up going to the Fireworks show, given your own heat orb and some rock that is said to have heat from the sun. One of the “fireworks” you were given turned out to be a blackened lance, how did that get there?



Prizes: Black Glasses, 5 Dark Gems, 1 Poison Barb, 5 Poison Gems; Flame Orb, Heat Rock, and Dark Lance

Spoiler

Dark Lance

Fling Effect: Fling becomes a Dark type physical attack with 75 power. The target's Reflect, Light Screen, and Safeguard are destroyed. Item returns after battle.

-----



Myahoo: You ended up going to indulge your stomach with free food. At the picnic, you were given a complimentary basket filled with all sorts of picnicwares. As you finished eating, you find yourself holding a cold food item, and you end up pocketing it for later. Afterwards, you enjoyed a nice relaxing evening by the bonfire roasting marshmallows and berries and the like. Again, free food can’t be beaten.



Prizes: Kebia Dog, and 5 Babiri Berries, 7 Rare Candies, and 5 Marshmallows

Spoiler

Kebia Dog – a hot dog placed inside the shell of a dried Kebia Berry before it is chilled. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel less hydrated and learn the moves Aurora Beam and Ice Shard

TheKnightsFury: The parade was nice for the view. One float was filled with greenery and flowers. They ended up throwing out roses to the crowd, you find that attached the roses was a set of seals that you can place on your Pokeballs. Afterwards, you end up at the Bonfire, in which you got several snacks including some berries.



Prizes: 1 set of Flower Seals, and 5 small nuggets worth 355$ each; 5 Passho Berries, 7 Rare Candies, and 5 Marshmallows



-----



Biggggg5: You and your Chespin ended up going to the Decathlon. There your Chespin showed off its prowess and it ended up choosing one of the prizes you received for participating, a little seed. The other one was chosen at random, but it appeared to look like a bird’s beak. Afterwards, you ended up going to the concert with your Tynamo. It was here you listened to some good music, including one that Tynamo ended up loving, “Dark Shadowy Hearts”



Prizes: 1 Miracle Seed, 5 Grass Gems, 1 Sharp Beak, 5 Flying Gems; and 3 TMs of Shadow Ball



-----



Pikagod: The play was a masterful performance about the dangers of sloth, as well as the benefits. You got to take with you some of the incenses used to enhance the performance experience. Afterwards, you went to watch the fireworks, and even got a few safe for civilian fireworks yourself, all wrapped up in a nice-looking cape.



Prizes: Luck Incense, Lax Incense, Fire Stone; and Flame Orb, Heat Rock, Superhero Cape

Spoiler

Superhero Cape

Allows holder to fly.

-----



Liltwick: You went on a nice picnic with your Litwick, each bite seemed to make its flame grow brighter and brighter, and as you started to finish the basket, you find a nice side dish meant to be eaten later. Afterwards, you went to enjoy a big bonfire, one that maybe your Litwick will aspire to be as bright once it grows older. Both of you enjoy a bunch of berries, candies, and marshmallows.

Spoiler

Payapa Salad – a group of Papaya berries smashed together with mayonnaise to make this sour dish. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel like they can take on any challenge and learn the moves Circle Throw and Quick Guard.

-----



Patches: You went to the park for a picnic. As you ate, you could practically smell the sheer amount of spice put on one of their local delicacies, and ended up saving that for later. Later that night, you went to the Rave, and it was here that you found yourself a set of Pokeballs hanging from the ceiling, apparently someone mistook them for disco balls, or someone might’ve been drunk, who knows.



Prizes: Tamato Burger; and 4 Dragon Balls (3 more and you can have wishes )

Spoiler

Tamato Burger – A super spicy burger that has a Tamato berry in the mixed in with the meat. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel fiery hot and learns the moves Flame Burst and Flame Wheel.

-----



Ironthunder: You went to the play. It was a piece about a utopia where human and nature worked together to fight the evils of polluting factories, a very political piece even for this kind of celebration. Afterwards, you went to see a concert, one of the bands “Submit To War” caught your eye and ear. You ended up getting free CDs from them.



Prizes: Full Incense, Rose Incense, one Dusk Stone, 3 TMs of Submission



-----



Schala: You went to see the big parade. One of them, apparently dressed as a desert prince, starting throwing around coins like crazy to the crowds, you ended up with a big handful of them. In the evening, a large bonfire burned and you got to hear some nice spooky stories around it while roasting snack items. Be careful not to burn your mouth with them.



Prizes: 1 set of Flower Seals, 25 copper coins worth 71$ each, 5 Colbur Berries, 8 Rare Candies, and 4 Marshmallows



-----



EpicSquirtle: You went to the picnic with your Pokemon and finished off both of your baskets, well all but one item it seemed. The berry salad, maybe you can have it for later. The fire crackled brightly as you sat down, the snacks they provided were really tasty, sweet for the most part, though one of the items you got turned out to be very sour.



Prizes: Payapa Salad; and 5 Payapa Berries, 4 Rare Candies, and 8 Marshmallows (hope you like Payapa)

Spoiler

-----



Lilbluecorsola: You went to the parade where you saw a float sponsored by the local museum. Apparently they had artifacts from the Ruins of Alph that they were advertising and gave you some seals celebrating that discovery. That night, though, you ended up relaxing by the nice hot fire, perhaps enjoying some warm cocoa. They even gave you a bag filled with goodies for frying and/or having as a trail mix on your journey.



Prizes: 1 set of Alphabet Seals, 2 Rare Fossils worth 875$ each; and 5 Yache Berries, 8 Rare Candies, and 4 Marshmallows



-----



Rotom310: The part of the parade you found yourself at was put together by miners in a nearby town. Although you do end up with shenanigans, somehow you ended up with some of the coal that was on the float itself. Afterwards, there was an acoustic performance at an otherwise rock and roll, metal extravaganza, people were lighting their lighters to the tunes, and you were given some CDs for the band, “Calm Waters”.



Prizes: 1 set of Party popper seals, 4 Lumps of Coal worth 450$ each, and 3 TMs of Calm Mind



-----



Raves: You went to the Decathlon, enjoying the long jump. However, it turned out that one of the bags of mulch that was going to be used to catch the people was, in fact, some powder instead. They gave it to you, as a random trainer. Then you also got to look deep into the hot fire as people were telling their own stories of what they did the past year. Not to mention, snacks are a great thing to have.



Prizes: Silver Powder, 5 Bug Gems, Black Belt, 5 Fighting Gems; and 5 Kebia Berries, 6 Rare Candies, and 6 Marshmallows



-----



Stitches: The picnic was rather nice and peaceful and serene. The atmosphere was great to enjoy a little R&R. They even provided you with some relaxing beverage to set the mood it seems. However, that peace would eventually turn into chaos, as the dance floor of the rave started to sound, loud music and bright lights galore. You found that some of the lights weren’t working and upon closer inspection someone had accidentally put pokeballs where the lightbulbs were supposed to go.



Prizes: Durin Tea; and 4 Dark Balls

Spoiler

Durin Tea – A bitter drink that is a very acquired taste. It has Durin Berry Juice as its main ingredient. Upon consumption, the Pokemon will feel more sophisticated and learn the moves Psybeam and Heal Pulse.

--



Morningstar: The parade was drawing to a close, the last float was one full of children waving and smiling at the group of people watching. Their theme was simple space one, giving the impression that they might some day rise to the stars and beyond. The fire was starting to smolder, but you managed to get in one last minute to grab the last bag of snacks and got to enjoy burning them over the still-hot embers.



Prizes: 1 set of Star Seals, 10 collectible stickers worth 175$ each; and 5 Tanga Berries, 5 Rare Candies, and 7 Marshmallows

"...still wanna know who the hell throws little golden egg statues at parade floats," Jack grumbled. Disguised as his Trainer once more, the Ditto rubbed his borrowed head in a spot that roughly coincided with where most of the Shiny Golden Egg Statuettes had landed on him.

"Hey, they could've done worse," Keith pointed out, grinning as he heard the clattering and clanking within his backpack, coming from all that gold. "Besides, you're fine. I've seen you take a Bullet Punch while Transformed into an Avalugg, you tell me how this is worse."

"Well, for one thing, I'm pretty sure that between the two, Avalugg has a way higher Defense stat than your average parade float," said Jack. "But yeah, all things considered, the crowd could've done worse," he conceded. "You gonna sell those?"

"Naturally," Keith nodded. "But yeah- these Rare Candies and Marshmallows, though," he added, holding up a nearly-empty marshmallow bag. which he was currently repurposing to hold all the edible goodies he was walking away from the event with. "Some seriously good stuff. And these Marshmallows, I think they got some actual benefits if eaten by Pokémon, too. Even got a couple of Rindo Berries in the mix."

"Well, I fer one am tired out," yawned Meowth, still sitting on Keith's shoulder. "Wat say we head on home?"

"Sure," Keith smirked. "Just as soon as you say it."

"Eh?" Meowth replied. Then, he sighed. "Oy... youse was right about da marshmallows, OK?"

Keith smiled and nodded. "Damn straight I was. C'mon, let's go home," he added, leading the way back to Sludge Wave Coast.

*Obtained 1 set of Party Seals!*

*Obtained 8 Shiny Gold Egg Statuettes!*

*Obtained 5 Rindo Berries!*

*Obtained 4 Rare Candies!*

*Obtained 8 Marshmallows!*

Thanks for the event, CB! I had fun RPing it, especially the nighttime part, as I really do toast marshmallows that way, and recommend it to anyone who'll listen, and probably a good number of people who won't.

 

Collecting items. Thanks for the event CB!

 

Thank you for the event! I'm going to try and edit an RP in later if I can but I have a tendency to think I will RP and then forget to pick up my things from events for months so I'm just going to grab these now.

Rejoice! It’s Fizzypendence!

Hugo was excited to be able to celebrate the anniversary with all of his friends and Pokemon. Hell, he wasn’t just excited. He was effing STOKED. Brimming with an endorphin and adrenaline high, Hugo decided to make his way over to the Decathalon to burn off some of his energy.

“The javelin!” Hugo shouted to no one in particular.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea? That requires a lot of skill and attention so nobody gets hurt and y—,” said a random nearby festival worker.

“THE JAVELIN!” roared Hugo in the worker’s face causing him to scurry off.

Upon reaching the javelin field, Hugo decided to let his Pokemon out to join in the fun and give it a try.

“Okay,” said Hugo to his friends, “whoever throws the javelin the furthest wins!”

This did not go very well. Several Pokemon gave it a try, but didn’t have the dexterity to make it work. Murkrow latched on to the javelin with her feet, but it was too heavy to lift, so she squawked angrily at it until Hugo shooed her away. Pinsir and Sneasel both tried, but neither could agree on who would go first and they ended up bickering with each other and forgot all about the javelin. And Rhyhorn….Rhyhorn walked up to the javelin and just stared blankly because he has no arms to lift it with.

Then Throh pushed everyone aside and sauntered up to the javelin, the arrogance radiating from him. This was HIS competition to win and he knew it. After several minutes of unnecessary stretching, mainly just to show off his muscles, Throh easily lifted the javelin, but it split open in his hands and out fell the Poison Barb, Poison Gems, Dragon Fang, and Dragon Gems. Throh was supremely embarrassed and the other Pokemon tried not to laugh at him while Hugo collected the goods.

Later that night, Hugo attended the Rave with his Pokemon. Again, it did not go quite as planned. Probably because you shouldn’t attend a rave with an Onix.

Onix was REALLY feeling the beat and was wildly tossing her massive head and body around on the dance floor, causing all the other people and Pokemon to keep a good distance from her and Hugo.

But this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As the floor cleared out, Hugo spotted the 4 Normal Balls, which he quickly pocketed before dancing the night away. Three cheers for Fizzypendence!


Thanks for the event!

Collecting:
1x Poison Barb
5x Poison Gems
1x Dragon Fang
5x Dragon Gems
4x Normal Balls

 

The float had been a success, clearly, and Alice was damn proud of it - as well as all of the people and Pokemon who had helped make it possible. The parade was not only made more fun by fans old and new, though, but by the many familiar faces also taking part. Whether she knew them from a certain criminal undertaking, the Rose Garden competition or wintry fight for her home; Alice was ecstatic to see them all and cheer them on. No doubt a few of the city's visitors knew her as a sickeningly sweet maid as well. Winning a prize and being gifted the fancy stardust was really just icing on the cake at this point.

The heart seals went to Celine, of course, perfectly complimenting the marking that the adopted Poochyena had on her ball, and the stardust would be kept safe until it could be displayed in her base as part of an ornament or something similar. Before home was to be considered, though, Alice had the fortune of meeting one of the night's performers - and they had spoiled her, too. She made sure to get a few pictures and their signatures as well before heading off to the rave, managing to catch the mayor's speech before she got there. The promises for the following year were... Well, too vague to be considered more than assurance of another fun independence day in the future. Whatever the next one held, though, it would be as fruitful and entertaining as this one was - Alice was certain of that.

((Thanks for the event yo! Picking up my presents. Also:

The heart seals are to be pasted onto Celine the Poochyena's ball.
The three Defog TMs are to be used on: Zoey the Zubat, Felix the Spearow and AJ the Starly. Thanks again!))

The floats were colorfully designed and whimsical. Tira leaned in on the railing while Carrot watched from below. Taro waddled back and curled up on Irwin’s lap. Midway through the parade, Taro had fallen asleep while Tira and Carrot remained just as excited as ever. When a particularly large float went by, Carrot would follow it for a bit before returning to her spot. Tira copied and trailed after Carrot. Irwin smoothed the sleeping Stunky’s fur while keeping watch to make sure Carrot and Tira didn’t stray too far. Carrot again returned to her spot when she noticed something fall from one of the parade floats. She ran over to check it out followed by Tira, which ended up being useful, as Carrot had actually found two items! They both picked up a comet shard ran happily back to Irwin.
“Look et! Look what I found!” Confidently boasted the Lopunny. Carrot kicked Tira with her back leg. As the Lopunny bounced around in pain, Carrot walked forward and proudly set down the comet shard she had found. Tira fell forward onto his stomach and presented the one he had picked up as well.

Later, at the fireworks show, Taro continued to bring back glowstick after glowstick. The collection consisted of all different sizes and shapes. Necklaces glowsticks? Yup. Bracelets? Definitely. Even one shaped like a toy sword. Taro was returning again, but kept dropping whatever bright object they were trying to carry. A round glowstick perhaps? Taro finally gave up and instead nudged the ball back to Irwin. Irwin went to pick up the strange object, but retracted when they touched it. A flame orb! Of all the items to try and rescue. Irwin inspected the Stunky for damage, but they seemed alright. Taro cuddled up next to Irwin and watched the fireworks. Carrot zipped by while Tira frolicked about. When the fireworks went off, he would pretend to zap his sparkler up at the sky. Tira turned around abruptly and fell straight on his face.

“Who did dat!” Protested the Lopunny as Taro wandered over. “Skunk! Did you see who pushed me?” Taro picked up the sparkling stone that Tira had tripped over. “Betrayal!” Tira went to zap at Taro with the sparkler, but it had gone out. Tira looked at the dead sparkler an irritated glance. “Hmph!” They both ran back to Irwin where Taro added the heat rock to their collection. Tira was given the last sparkler as the firework show started wrapping up. Irwin packed up glowsticks into the bag while reflecting on how their freezer would be very crowded for the next few months. Carrot returned and helped roll up the towel which she then carried in her mouth. Tira’s last sparkler went out during the finale and the group started walking home. Tira rambled on and on about his favorite fireworks with no consistency. Carrot trotted in front of the group in order to avoid Tira’s babbling. Irwin noticed Taro lagging far behind. Even with their short nap during the parade, it had been a long day. Irwin kneeled down and noticed the Taro’s tongue wasn’t dangling out as it usually did. In fact, their mouth was closed tight. Irwin put out their hand and Taro dropped what they were holding along with a good amount of slobber. Swimming in all that drool was a shiny ring of some kind. Irwin cleaned everything off and the light barrier was chucked into the backpack. The group continued homeward under the starry sky.

 

Picking these up. Thanks dood.

 

Between Amethyst swallowing down an entire Tauros leg as well as Aisa and Bubbles nibbling and gulping their way through pounds upon pounds of other delicious meat, Hyrem wasn't sure there would be anything left, but it turns out there was something that none of the extremely gluttonous Pokemon wanted in their system: a frozen meat treat inside a green fruit that gave off a nice scent that somehow seemed especially repelling to the Poison-types. Strangely enough, however, the one Pokemon who would enjoy the Kebia Dog was Ahri as the berry and the meat seemed to melt in her warm mouth before it went slowly down her throat and her breath seemed to cool for just a moment before she stared at nothing and suddenly summoned an Ice Shard, shooting it at a nearby tree to make it stick before she blasted it away with an Aurora Beam. At that point, Hyrem got the sense that, instead of being a purebred, standard Ninetales, there may have been a little bit of Alola within her bloodline, and the food somehow unlocked her potential, however small. Keori looked on with excitement at her cousin's new discovery while Balthazar immediately began looking around for a Kebia Dog he could potentially eat in order to gain these powers for himself only to find none in sight. "Sorry, little one, I'm not much for sharing such a delicacy as that~" taunted the bigger, yellow fox, knowing she would be the source of his envy for some time.

As it grew dark, it was time for less gluttony and more romance as Hyrem watched his Pokemon couples gather around the campfire: Sera and Ulysses, Sarkhan and Wendy, Seshiro and Shisato, Toby and Zyra, Luke and Selina, Vi and Rengar, and Leila and Laika, as whatever kids they all may have sired were all playing outside the ring. Each couple spent the time snuggled with each other in front of the campfire, sharing marshmallows (including cleaning them off each others faces), and just overall enjoying each other's company. It was all fun for Hyrem to see until Kima saw fit to drag him over to the rest of the kids, where he would join Thomas and Brian (oh wait, that was me...) in a hugfest from the girls, letting their parents have total peace. In the end, however, there would be more leftover food, including marshmallows, berries, and Rare Candies for the Pokemon to enjoy later.
