The dog days aren't quite over yet...
Who: Everyone participating in the Dog Days of Summer event!
Where: Mt Mortar, the Bell Tower, OR the Seafoam Islands
When: August 17th-31st
Summary: With the Legendary Beasts running amok, it's up to everyone to help figure out what's wrong and get everything back to normal!
Log:
Bell Tower
Volunteers helping at the Bell Tower will arrive in Ecruteak City and be welcomed into the Bell Tower-- the normally-reclusive monks are still fairly stiff, but in the interest of not driving off the very help they asked for, they will be much more accommodating than usual.
Little studies have been set up all over the archive rooms in the upper floors, allowing volunteers to group up at tables and pore over old tomes and scrolls for any information that might be related to Ho-Oh or the three Beasts-- of course, there’s also a wealth of information about legendary Pokemon from other regions… just don’t let the monks catch you getting off-topic!
Gym Leader Morty will also be present helping with the research, and is using his Indigo League funds to finance inn lodgings in town for all volunteers. As for refreshments, local restaurants have also stepped up, eager to provide free food for all volunteer researchers! Gogoat-drawn carts full of fresh, traditional cuisine will come trundling up to the Tower several times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)-- often accompanied by the restaurant-owners themselves. The guy who runs ECRUTEAK HOUSE OF DUMPLINGS will be there a lot-- he and his Emboar are particularly bombastic about stuffing everybody full of delicious fried dumplings at every opportunity. Gotta stay well-fed if you want to study!
That said, anyone wishing to pull an all-nighter will either have to bring their own snacks or rely on the monks’ supplies-- which means plain rice, hot tea, and not much else.
----
Mt Mortar
The base of Mt. Mortar is a flurry of activity no matter what the hour-- the center of operations is a large camping area at the foot of the mountain, where a small army of tents have been set up. Rangers and volunteers alike are rushing around, and anyone just arriving will be asked to sign in and mark whatever tasks they’ll be helping with.
Strong trainers can sign up for field work, which can involve anything from patrolling the mountain to evacuate campers to helping corral the panicking wild Pokemon population (bright side: there’s even more rare ones running around than normal, and capturing them is a quick and easy way to get them out of harm’s way!). Trainers with flying types may even wind up helping to carry water over from the Lake of Rage in case of what the Rangers all fear: forest fire.
More inexperienced trainers will lower-leveled Pokemon will be encouraged to stick around base where it’s a little safer-- but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of work to be done! Several meal tents are set up around the base, where you can serve (or be served) quick meals from hot pans, soup kitchen style. Nothing fancy or extravagant, but nothing that won’t taste great after a long hectic day of running around the mountain. And hey, it’s free.
A first-aid tent is also set up where trainers and their Pokemon can have injuries patched up-- the Nurse Joys staffing it can always use assistance to keep up with everything.
Sleeping quarters are provided via cot-filled tents set up around the base-- those ones are first-come, first-serve, so grab one fast! Helping the Rangers out is an all-day-all-night affair, so everyone just sleeps and eats when they get the chance to. Reminders to do both on a regular basis are posted all around-- nobody wants sleep-deprived trainers doing dangerous work, even if, between the constant roars of Raikou and Entei and the constant activity within the camp, sleeping could get pretty difficult.
Fortunately, one of the first things you’ll be handed upon arriving is a pair of heavy-duty earplugs.
----
Seafoam Islands
On the shores of the Seafoam Islands, everything is… well, chaos.
The beaches are COVERED in tents of all shapes, sizes, and… raggedness. It seems many folks have shown up in lieu of Greg’s frantic video post, and they’ve more or less taken over. You can barely see the sand! Things are quite a bit less organized than they are over at Mt. Mortar, which unfortunately means that for food and first-aid, you might need to wind up heading over to the teeny tiny little dock town with the inn (booked solid, sorry!) and the shop (Blaine’s beach is less occupied, but he can be seen from time to time passive-aggressively picking up peoples’ trash around the outskirts of the tent army and scowling).
Because out on the beach, there’s no first-aid to speak of and if you go to the ‘food tent’, you’ll just be handed something like this.
Fortunately, unlike their hilariously futile efforts to find Celebi and aside from their clear lack of event-managing knowledge, it seems the Seekers actually are onto something. Every six hours or so, Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres CAN be seen soaring high overhead and disappearing around the back of the mountain, often with stolen food or shiny things glinting in their talons.
The Seekers themselves are more concerned with getting all their equipment functioning than they are about accommodating all the tourists who just showed up to sit on the beach and stare at the horizon in hopes of seeing one of the Birds-- but if you can actually find them in the chaos, they’ll eagerly put you to work.
In this case, 'work' means 'heading straight into the caves to try and #FindLugia'. Well? WILL YOU?
(Remember to SIGN UP over here!)

As soon as Leviathan and Splash are released it doesn't take the Gyarados long to realize why they're here and what they need to do. Noctis just gives them a nod and the two set to work. With a loud roar Leviathan let's loose with Surf, utilizing even the smallest bodies of water in the area to drench surrounding trees and grass in an attempt to stop the spread of the fire. Splash is her usual self, seemingly uncaring about the situation but as soon as she sees all the panicked Pokemon in the area, she joins in with Hydro Pump. As she works she also uses her body to block Pokemon from the raging fire, guiding them along to safer areas.
She may not like listening to Noctis but hey, she's not heartless.
Said prince is back with Bean, the Snorlax using Surf as well to try and quell some of the flames as best she can while protecting her trainer at the same time. Noctis looks pretty beat but he's not about to leave the front lines now, calling out orders to Splash and Leviathan as he attempts to not get too overwhelmed by the heat as Carbuncle perches on his shoulder keeping tabs on everyone in the area that he can sense.
Shepard and Chocochick are helping with evacuation efforts around the area so don't be surprised if you end up with a Lycanroc assisting you or a Toucannon swooping in to pull Pokemon and people alike out of the area.
no subject
While Rapidash ran about, soaking up flames and heat to allow others to escape, Pikachu and Rapidash were leveling the ground in front of them, creating fire pits in order for the fire to be contained.
Looking up at Noctis, she called out, "On your left!" As Graveller cracked the ground and caused a Earthquake that shattered the ground full of burning brush and trees. Pikachu caught it with a application of psychic as she waved.
"We're clearing a path, help me out with these Pokemon!" Yayoi had scooped up a few small critters in her arms and was pulling them to safety.
no subject
"On it!" he called back, making his way over to where she was so he could gather up some of the Pokemon. His Lycanroc made her appearance then, nosing along some terrified looking Pokemon as fast as she could get them to move. She let out a gruff bark and Carbuncle hopped off Noct's shoulder to go help.
"We need to start herding them back towards the campsite."
no subject
"The worst of it is the initial flash," grumbled Yayoi as she directed Pikachu to psychic a group of stragglers over the damaged ground. "With those dogs quarreling, the worst of it is barely over."
no subject
"It's alright, buddy," he reassured the rock Pokemon before urging him after the others. "Go on."
Once the Geodude was on it's way Noctis looked back to Yayoi.
"I'm going to do one last sweep of this area. I'm worried that some smaller Pokemon might have ducked into holes or in between some of the rocks."
no subject
"Got it. I'll get Pikachu helping you out with Psychic," she said, calling her first partner over. "Mimikyu, can you help out?"
deathkyu nodded, even if it's own outfit was smoking a little. It waddled towards the pair.
no subject
"Probably considering this seems like petty bickering," he said as he gestured towards the mountain before tossing that subject aside. There was no use getting irritated right now because there were Pokemon that needed their help.
His expression relaxed--still determined but pleased as well--and he offered the Mimikyu a wave.
"That'll make things go a lot faster. If you need them to do anything, Shepard and Carbuncle should be make in no time. Just tell them what you need alright?" Noctis said as he took a few steps back and started to turn, ready to do his last sweep.
no subject
"Sounds good, I'll ask. Thanks." said Yayoi as Pikachu levitated some rocks and Graveller helped out. deathkyu's shadow claw picked up a few as well, and scooped a small Pidgey out of the way.
