Who: Everyone attending the Contest Spectacular! (For more information about this event, check out the info post here!)
Where: Celadon City
When: February 15th-17th
Log:
Valentine’s day may be just past and most cities are relaxing back to normal after all the romance. But in Celadon City, the holiday hype wound up as a lead-in to the month’s main event: the return of the Contest Spectacular!
After Olivine had the honor of hosting in the summer, Kanto’s rainbow city has been eager to draw the event back and truly establish the new tradition. Not that it took much convincing to get Hoenn’s Contest runners back on board—not to mention the Aether Foundation’s assistance as well. They’d heard the city had had an on-and-off issue with pollution, so of course they’re here to supervise and ensure Pokemon safety!
Lusamine having the opportunity to judge more beautiful Pokemon is simply a perk to coming, of course.
Anne and Liz have returned as well, wouldn’t miss it for the world. They’re growing very fond of hosting for this new and interesting region, not to mention getting to meet all the people from entirely different worlds! Whenever they can grab a moment of downtime, they can be spotted out and about with their Plusle and Minun, and are eager to chat people up and hear their otherworldly stories. Just no questions about results!
As for the city itself... Celadon is always flashy, but they really pulled out all the stops this time.
Pink, red, and white tents and booths fill the streets between the towering green-glassed buildings. The fashion center of Kanto apparently didn't get the memo that the fourteenth was over and instead decided on having more hearts, more Luvdisc-themed decorations, and MORE cherry lollipops.
The Aether tents blend right in with the other lovey-dovey colors-- this time they're there to pass out hand-warmers and sanitizer, pamphlets about PokeRus and how to best avoid passing around germs. They're friendly as always (although there seem to be even more of them this time than there were back in August), but Celadon City made sure that there's far more to see than some geeks in white. Now that the Contest Spectacular has two massive successes under its belt, more people than ever want to get in on it.
It seems that every bakery in town came together to outdo each other, and extravagant sweets and pastries are being sold and sampled out at every turn. The usual photobooths and costume-rental stands (that, cough, are definitely not advertising from local fashion companies that want you to stop in and BUY the outfits from their boutiques later...) are present as always-- and the mini-games from last summer are back too!
One booth is surrounded by a near-constant crowd-- manned by a shiny Decidueye and his nervous-looking Trainer-- the regal owl Pokemon is signing copies of his newly-published self-help book-slash-autobi"owl"graphy ("Owl I Want Is You: Memoirs of a Hopeless Romantic") with one of his own quills.
And of course there's the official Contest stalls bursting with merch from the previous contests-- including (but not limited to) colorful additions like:
But for those worn out oncapitalism the shameless merchandizing, this year the real centerpiece of the outdoor attractions is a temporary but still impressive greenhouse erected in the plaza outside of the main tent. Gym Leader Erika and her underlings have worked throughout the month to feature the fruits of their labor (no pun intended) in the Celadon Gym, and the Greenhouse is a great place for a relaxing respite from the cold, slushy February streets outside. Visitors can learn all about exotic flora and even purchase potted Berry trees, houseplants and bonsais raised by the Celadon gym trainers themselves!

a sparkling necklace whose beads form the shape of an Onix (EXPENSIVE... but so stylin'!) a clunky (but very popular with the Youngsters) action figure that transforms into a lumpy Tyrantrum if you follow a bunch of complicated steps a short newsstrip-style graphic novel about the action-packed adventures of a crime-fighting Wailmer a VERY dapper line of Joltik-themed bowties and cuff-links a dainty music box containing a tiny ballerina Eevee figurine that spins when opened a set of "Ink Blasterz (tm)"-- Octillery-themed squirt guns that come with packets of (nontoxic) black dye so that you and your friends can ruin your neighbor's drying laundry even more once summer rolls back around a set of gleaming opalescent d20's in a Sableye-shaped box, complete with two hollow holes on the lid where the eyes should be where you can stick two of them! a floppy green Deino doll that, when switched on, tumbles chaotically around the floor and emits growling noises.

[He's in love with her, more like.]
The previous one. In a different category. Currently it escapes my memory, but, alas, we didn't merit the winner's circle.
no subject
[ and the previous one in a different category has jack raising a brow. ]
Damn, must have been a hard loss if it's escaping your memory.
no subject
[Did he say something wrong.]
Mm, human memory is more fleeting than I anticipated. What should be clear has become more muddled the longer past it is.
no subject
[ jack looks a little surprised - look nothing about shadowmaru strikes him as law enforcement, but that's jack's own bias.
still, that statement gets jack shaking his head. ]
If it's happening to you now, just wait until you're older.
no subject
[So there. That's clearly what they are, Jack, why would you ever think otherwise!]
[His whole face recoils.]
What!?
no subject
[ why would he ever think otherwise, indeed.
and then, of course, the horror of being human and getting old. jack has to stifle a snicker. ]
Oh, have they not talked about that? As you get older, you start to forget things. Little things at first, but then just bigger and bigger stuff like people you met a long time ago.
no subject
[Or, more accurately, Commissioner Saejima's flare.]
[But the more the older man speaks, the more horrified, genuinely horrified, Shadowmaru looks.]
That is... you're meaning your memories slowly erase themselves? They delete themselves?
no subject
It's a thing that happens as you get older - some memories get fuzzier. Do you remember what you had for breakfast a month ago?
no subject
SHOULD I??
no subject
no subject
i'm sorry maru
are you
wellll
Okay, kid, seriously. It's not something you worry about until you're way, way older. And if you take care of yourself, it's less likely to happen.
no subject
Why! Why wouldn't you start with that intricate little detail!!
no subject
no subject
Why would I know that!

Why would I do that!

Very well. I'll look into it.
