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.

The merchant sighs.

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.

Ed watches the whole display with growing exasperation. Really, Wrath. This is pretty ridiculous, even for you.

"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.
garbagechild: and acting in ways (unfortunatyely im displaying behaviors)

The Slowpoke makes it over to the candy and opens its mouth slowly to take a big bite. But just then, a trainer passes with their Herdier in tow, and the shaggy dog Pokemon snaps the Slowpoketale(tm) up as it passes.

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.
