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.

...I miss my friends too. [She looks down, and sighs. Agatha immediately starts tugging on her socks, because- well, if Ashley dwells on that for too long, she tends to become...mopey.] Do you think maybe...one day you'll see her again...?

[Nooooo don't be mopey, Ashley. Rakka steps forward and places a hand on her shoulder.]

...Well... [She's smiling, but it's smaller then it used to be.] I do wish that I'll see her again someday... but, right now, I won't be able to see her anymore, even if I go back home.

You see, it's... [She stops briefly.] Kind of hard to explain.
hashtagafreakingghost: we're lying‚ we're cheating (the message misleading)

O-oh...! [She immediately looks like she regrets asking.] I'm sorry, we don't have to talk about it, then, if you don't want to.

[It's Rakka's turn to look sheepish, which she certainly does while she shakes her head.]

No no, it's alright. I'm better now. I still miss her, but it's okay. [She's made her peace with it, for the most part.]

...To answer your question, I think you might see your friends some day. You just have to believe, Ashley.
