It's time for the solstice!
Who: Everyone attending the Azalea festival!
Where: Azalea town and surrounding woods
When: June 21st
Summary: Celebi's come out, so it's time to throw a party in its honor!
Log:
It's Midsummer! Traditional festivities in Azalea are all in full swing, and this year even bigger and better than ever, thanks to the influx of curious tourists and Legendary Seekers drawn by the rumors in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive Celebi. Everyone in Azalea is putting out their finest, and the whole town is decked out with flowers in vases and pots, colorful streamers, and bright awnings under which vendors hawk their wares.
The fun doesn't stop there, however. Those time disturbances that have been popping up all over the place? They've become at once more localized and more benign. Flowers open quickly and stay in bloom without fading, a blissful moment seems to stretch into eternity, somehow you've managed to sample the food of a dozen different booths and it still is barely mid-morning. It's like a perfect moment somehow drawn out, suspended in time to savor as long as possible. Those who have a particularly fun few minutes may even find them repeated a few times!
Which perhaps should be no surprise, given that Celebi itself has come out to play! If you're lucky and paying close attention, you might even catch a glimpse of it flitting about from one place to another throughout the town and the nearby forest. It certainly isn't shy, though it is moving quite quickly and doing anything but staying in one place. Anybody who might attempt to catch or challenge it to a battle isn’t going to get anywhere at all—and stubborn trainers might find themselves stuck in a time loop for a few hours. There's simply so much to see and do, after all! Strangely enough, if any of the Legend Seekers are around, Celebi never seems to be anywhere to be found.
Eventually, though, the long day will come to an end, and the festivities with it. By morning, all the hubbub will be gone, and Celebi with it. But not quite without a trace: anyone who came to Azalea Town to participate in the festival will find in their belongings a single fossil as a parting gift from the Time Travel Pokémon.

However, there is at least a slightly noteworthy ripple in the crowd as a big purple Granbull comes tumbling out of the Slowpoketale(tm)* booth with the entire basket of Slowpoketales(tm)* jammed onto its head. Clearly disoriented, it falls over, kicking at the basket with its stumpy legs and scattering Slowpoketales(tm)* everywhere.
Judging by the angry hollering coming from within the stall, said Granbull was probably not... supposed to be getting into the product.
WHAT DO??
* DISCLAIMER: Slowpoketales(tm) are a gummy candy product. They are not real Slowpoketails and no Slowpokes are harmed in the making thereof. A portion of each sale is donated to the keeping of the Slowpokes of Azalea Town, courtesy of SlowbroCo. Have a great day!

Once Ed regains his composure he steps forward to kneel down - waving the Ponyta away as he tugs the basket, instead. Certain that he'd have a better chance of getting it off than a horse, despite his efforts.
"Geez, does everyone just let them run around like this? Someone's bound to get hurt."
He's had a few experiences already, today.
no subject
Fortunately, the Granbull doesn't seem to be on a rampage or anything. Just panicked, judging by the whimpers coming from inside the basket. The Ponyta's helpful tugging makes him at least stop hopping around long enough for Ed to enter the fray.
But meanwhile, an explanation for this situation emerges from the tent in the form of a red-faced merchant with a Slowpoketale(tm) stuck directly in the center of his forehead like a floppy unicorn horn (and judging by the dude's expression, this is not an intentional part of his uniform) He is holding, by the scruff of the neck, what to some people would look like a small whirlwind, but to Ed, is obviously...
"He was only LOOKING! LOOKING isn't against the rules! If we couldn't LOOK at things how could we BUY them? Let GO! LET GO!"
Well.
There's Wrath.
He's wearing a well-shredded hoodie instead of the hideous crop-top, but it's Wrath.
He's got another Slowpoketale(tm) in his hand and he's whacking the guy in the chest with it.
"Why do you hate good dogs?!"
no subject
Or, at least it was until the commotion continues from the stall only to reveal Wrath. It couldn't have been literally anybody else? That thought is quickly dismissed, remembering that Envy is also around in this place.
"Hey!" It only takes a second for him to get up and immediately throw himself into this disaster, basically ignoring Wrath as he focuses on the merchant. "Put him down-" His demeanor softens some realizing he's probably coming off as some crazed person trying to defend all of this. "Whatever he did, I'll help with the damages."
That's probably going to cost more than he actually has on hand, but getting Wrath out of there seemed more like a priority at this point - even if he was a demon ball of hair still hellbent on stealing Ed's limbs.
no subject
"--Edward Elric!"
The exclamation is equal parts outraged and excited.
He's dreamed of this day!
The day he finally gets to-- oh, wait, he's still dangling two feet off the ground.
He starts to kick harder.
The merchant, meanwhile, gives Ed a very long-suffering look.
"You know this kid?"
"He's my enemy! And an idiot! Put me down! Put me down!"
Extending his arm an extra few inches away from his body to stave off the increased flailing, the merchant ignores Wrath's demands and continues to address Ed, a little skeptically. While the contrast between the wild hairball and this fairly-well-groomed youth is pretty stark, Edward still doesn't exactly look loaded with cash.
"I can't sell any of the candy that hit the ground, and there is a lot of candy on the ground."
no subject
"Like he said, we're enemies." He's not even going to sugar coat that, but he does smirk a bit. "You could try to shake whatever change he has out of his pockets, but I don't think he's willingly going to pay you for the damages."
Ed might not be able to afford the whole load, but he's not exactly without connections in this place. "I can at least give you something toward it, now. Plus, I'm pretty sure I know exactly who to contact to get the difference covered."
He was hoping he could get the guy to let Wrath down so he'd leave, but he has a feeling he's just about to make his own life more difficult so he's not going to ask the guy to release him again. In fact, he's fine if he just holds him there like a helpless kitten with claws out, because Ed really doesn't want to do this limb thing right now and he's sure it's coming.
no subject
Because, well, Ed's got a point.
Wrath is twisting around and snapping his teeth at thin air, unable to actually land a bite anywhere but if he was even a few inches closer, oh boy would he be taking a chomp out of his captor.
"That's an awfully dramatic way to refer to your rival." Because hey, kids here form competitive trainer-to-trainer relationships all the time, but they don't usually call each other 'enemies'. "Look, if you can just get your 'enemy' out of my hair and back to whoever's in charge of him, I'll write off the candy."
"RRRRAAGH!" adds Wrath helpfully, flinging the Slowpoketale (tm) in Ed's direction. It misses by several feet, landing in the dirt.
A nearby Slowpoke spots it and starts to amble over at the speed of paint drying.
no subject
"It's just the truth." He doesn't seem at all disturbed honestly, dramatic or not - this guy had no idea what he was dealing with, and although Ed knew Wrath had no powers, he had yet to learn exactly what their limits of being "basically human" actually were.
"Appreciate it, really." Ed blinks as the Slowpoketale is thrown by him, glancing back for a second but not seeming to notice - or care - about the approaching Slowpoke, turning back to the two in front of them. That was ... probably the least threatening thing Wrath could manage to do in that moment.
"Just put him down carefully, you don't want to get hurt." That definitely sounds like teasing, and Ed's already planning his escape for when Wrath's feet hit the ground - but this guy's absolutely nuts if he thinks Ed's actually going to take the flailing ball of rage from his literal hands.
no subject
The Slowpoke remains frozen in place, expression slowly (very slowly) morphing from 8D to D8.
The merchant gives Ed one second-to-last dubious look... and then gives Wrath one last dubious look.
And then sets him down.
With a truly demonic scream, he charges towards Edward... only for his foot to come down directly in the basket that they'd just pulled off his Granbull. And go figure, he's not wearing shoes. Because getting Wrath to wear shoes is like putting socks on a cat.
He goes straight down with a thud. Right in the dirt.
With a concerned BOOF, the Granbull rushes over to drool on Wrath's head in concern.
The merchant is already heading back into his tent with his hands in the air. HE'S SO DONE, Y'ALL.
