It's time for the solstice!

[indigo_events]

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.

[There we go, only took a little bit of creepy child staring and he's got the hang of it. Lowering his down to let Ash the Larvesta work on it now, he licks at the corners of his mouth to get some of the dressings.]

So how do ya like it?

[garbagechild]

S'good! S'sweet.

_{[Although in speaking, he's discovered the existence of those nasty tooth-clogging strings. So he starts digging at his teeth with one finger, frowning lightly.]}

[pipers_son]

Heh, good ta hear. But a bit mess, huh?

[Good thing Pokemon often don't care about decorum, so Ash is still nibbling away like a champ. Joker idly turns it so that the little bug can get more.]

[garbagechild]

It maketh my teeth feel funny.

_{[He's had weirder stuff jammed up there, but most of the time it's (REGRETTABLY) from when he's been chewing on things that aren't actually food.]}

[pipers_son]

Yeah, ya gotta kinda- nudge it out of your teeth with yer tongue a bit.

[Or he could just use his fingers, but what's "effort"]
