The sky above, the waves below.

[indigo_league]

It starts in the sky above the Sevii islands at roughly midnight. One moment, the sky is clear, the dark expanse only broken up here and there by clusters of stars, and then the next moments, colours start creeping in. It's subtle at first -- streaks of purple and blues that one might be able to dismiss-- but soon enough, bright lights are dancing across the sky, moving in slow, undulating movements that seem part of an ancient dance.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of night? In this part of the region? Localised entirely above the Sevii Islands?

You better believe it.

But that's not the end of it.

Soon the ocean too is awash with colour. It isn't just the reflection of the lights shining above. No, it's as if the ocean itself has come alive, pinpricks of bright blue riding the waves as they crash on the beaches, clinging to the edges of the rocks, before slowly fading.

And among all that spectacle, a three bright lights sits on the horizon. One could take them to be regular stars, but one would be very much mistaken.

But... what does it all mean?

ooc: Naturally, come morning, these amazing phenomena will dominate the conversation in every news broadcast, with many scientists being called in to try and explain what is happening. If you are wondering if your character will have been able to see these things happen with their own eyes, take these quick and easy guidelines.

• Characters on the Sevii Islands will be able to see all three of these phenomena happening.
  
• Characters that are otherwise close to the ocean (think cities like Olivine city and Cianwood city in Johto and Vermillion city or Cinnabar Island in Kanto) will be able to see the three bright lights in the sky, and a bit of blue on the waves.
  
• Characters in the rest of the regions will only be able to see the bright lights on the sky.

The phenomena will start showing up just a bit after midnight on July 12th (so when Sunday goes into Monday) and will be visible for roughly three hours.

[Two Legosi posts in one week? Stranger than you'd think!

It's true that the wolf-turned-human is soft spoken and generally doesn't speak out much unless it involves getting his hands dirty, such as was the way with prom...but it seems like something has happened to warrant him contacting the network twice in the same week. The background reveals that he's in what appears to be a beautiful park, with trees and flowers and a giant fountain in the center. It might be familiar to some, seeing as it's Johto's very own National Park.

Legosi's expressions are lacking on a good day, but today? He's smiling. He looks actually a bit startled in his excitement, but pleasantly so? Mostly because, well...when he heard there was a bug catching contest happening today, he didn't join with the expectation of winning. He just really enjoys bugs, and bug Pokemon especially.

So if he had his tail, it would be wagging as he holds up an evolution stone between his thumb and forefinger: a Shiny Stone. There's also nice little ribbon pinned to the lapel of his shirt. Nothing too fancy, just a Nice Little Ribbon(tm).]

I won the Bug Catching contest.

[Meanwhile, just behind Legosi's shoulder...there suddenly riffs a very ominous hum.

...Wait. That's not humming.

It's buzzing.

Buzzing of the wings of a Vespiquen who hovers into frame, her jewel-like eyes glittering as she looks into the Gear's camera. Vespiquen...are normally about 4 feet tall, at best. This queen towers at a little over six feet, as tall as the trainer who caught her who seems a lot more chill about this than he should be??]

I caught a bee.
