[indigo_league]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Either Ecruteak City or Lavender Town; please mark your toplevel comments accordingly!
When: August 13th-15th

Rating: Will vary from thread to thread. Warn for common triggers if something comes up.
Log:

The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!

On the last evening (August 15th) of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.

The closer you get to midnight on the last night of the festival, the more ghosts pop up.

Again, please say which city your character's in and note what dates/times they're there in the header of or within your top--level comment to avoid confusion. Play nice and have fun!

I have a Doublade, Noibat, Hoothoot, Skiploom, Floette, and a Magikarp.

[It's a rather special team.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[That is impressive. Except that last one.]

... Magikarp. You have a Magikarp.

[notachocobo]

[Cloud's expression melts into one that shows just how displeased he is about it.]

We ran into it while we were traveling and my Sylveon wouldn't let me run it off. So yes, I have a magikarp. And he's useless.

[sneezelikeakitten]

Well, yes, in terms of attacks it's useless... [There is a silver lining???] But if you stick to training it, it comes a Gyarados one day?

[notachocobo]

Training it is going to be near impossible though. Like you said, it's attacks are useless--it's one attack is useless.

[Splash. Splash.

Whatever god or gods created this place hated Magikarp apparently.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

It can learn another attack. [Wait for it.] At level fifteen.

[~Tackle~]

.....Oh great.

[Yep. He's reconsidering keeping the damn thing now. Thanks, Dipper.]
