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!)

Parry let out an irritated growl and managed to shove Reno off, huffing at him.
"I don't need you talking for me!" The Vulpix just laughed and promptly bound over to Claudia, bouncing in a circle around her.
"You guys researching too? Tseng's here! I bet he'd love to see you!" he crooned, stopping in front of Claudia and dropping into a play bow. The Snubbul huffed again and rolled her eyes, shuffling off to find other resources for Cissnei since this was a bust.
no subject
"Oh, Tseng is here too? Is he not busy?" She asked. It's not too surprising he would be here if Cissnei was. She seemed to keep him as a valued tea member - given his sensibility it made sense, although she had yet to see his strength in combat. She glanced back at Walter, considering. He was in good hands with Assumption and Gloom. She knew the ghost had been about to appear out the shadows when she had taken on Parry first, more familiar with walter's feelings about dogs.
no subject
Reno gives her another nudge but he's making a point to not be too rough, ready to back off if Claudia seems too displeased with what he's attempting.
no subject
"Don't worry! We've got lots to read, and we'll look after him!"
She walked with Reno, tails softly swaying as she followed him to his table. "Thank you, for taking me to him."
no subject
"No problem~ He's been all down and lame lately so anythin' to cheer him up," the fire Vulpix mused as he pranced along, tails bouncing. Cissnei's chosen table wasn't actually that far from Walter's but said trainer wasn't anywhere in sight. Instead it was just Tseng and Fiend, the Banette, at the table, the two Pokemon seated there as they looked through some books and scrolls.
Fiend noticed them first and tilted her head, peering at Claudia curiously before she looked to Tseng and waved at him. The Riolu blinked then turned, perking up as he closed the book he'd been looking at.
"Claudia!"
no subject
She smiled at Tseng softly, sitting by his chair. "How have you been, Tseng?"
no subject
"I've been well. I hope you have been as well?" Tseng said, his attention completely on Claudia now as he gave her a shy smile. It hadn't been that long since they last saw one another but every chance he got to visit with her was special to him.
It took everything Reno had not to make a comment, the fire Vulpix snicker-snorting before he bound off to go find something else to do.
At least for the moment.
no subject
She sat his chair, looking up at him. "I was told...that you had been feeling upset, lately."
no subject
"...What exactly did Reno say?" Someone sounds a bit frustrated. And somewhere in the aisles close by, said fire Vulpix can be heard snickering.
no subject
Or at least...that's what Claudia thought Reno was implying, when he suggested that her visit might cheer Tseng up.
no subject
"It...he's not..entirely wrong. I am very happy to see you, Claudia."
(at this rate I should get Claudia an icon)
She looked at the table and stood, tails swaying. In a graceful bound she leapt up, pulling herself up. She looked over the scrools, very mindful of where she put her paws.
"Are you also doing some...supplementary reading?"
(I need to upgrade Cissnei so I can get her Pokemon icons too xD)
Tseng shifted back slightly to give Claudia some more space on the table, looking momentarily like a deer caught in the headlights before he cleared his throat.
"A..bit, yes. Cissnei has interest in all of the Legendaries so we're..utilizing the resources available."
damn you Pokeymans!
Although, Walter's was more focused. He wanted to know; were there Pokemon here chosen by the Sun, or who the power of Heaven? And so far, there were. To him, it was a sign that God had touched his world. Perhaps, because there were Pokemon, She had been able to infuse some with divine gifts to look after humanity...?
"If there are certain legends you wish to know of, I can relay some of what Walter has learned here. He has been looking into legendary Pokemon with ties to the Sun."
They gotta stop being so wonderful ugh
"A friend of Cissnei's is doing the same. They're trying to compile as much information as they can before we no longer have access to this place." While looking for stuff about Ho-Oh and Lugia of course.
Tseng's grin fades into a more thoughtful look as Claudia mentions legendary Pokemon that are tied to the sun.
"We haven't come across anything like that, at least not that I've seen. I know Cissnei is particularly interested in Arceus though."
Such sweethearts seriously
It was fascinating to see how Walter tried to find links and form an understanding of this world through his beliefs. And Claudia enjoyed assisting him, finding those connections and learning more about the myths and legends of her world.
no subject
She had also been poking at things related to another Pokemon but had told him not to say anything about it to anyone.
"Have you had any luck finding information on Ho-Oh or Lugia?"
no subject
Walter had not told her to be secretive about their research but there was the question of the Sun Pokemon...on that she had to keep absolute silence.
no subject
Because he'd been napping.
no subject
"From what we have read, the legendary Pokemon Ho-oh revived the three beasts from the dead. But whether it holds any control or say over it's creations..." Claudia shook her head. "I cannot see anything that has implied such a link."
no subject
no subject
no subject
"I wish there was an answer for that. They're causing so much trouble..it's not right. And none of them seem to want to stop," he murmured, letting out a soft huff. What was it going to take for them to realize what they were doing?
no subject
no subject
"They'll be alright, all of them. Everyone there has someone to look out for them and I know they'll be okay," he said softly, reassuringly. He didn't like seeing the Vulpix upset and while he, himself, had his doubts and his irritations towards the Legendaries..they had to stay positive.
