Day at the races!
Who: Everyone!
Where: Moo Moo Farms
When: Saturday, March 20th
Summary:
The day is as lovely as you can expect any early spring day to be. You'll need a coat, yes, and there is a bit of a breeze, but the sun shines happily onto the wooden buildings that make up the Moo Moo Farms where we have all gathered today.
The various farm workers have worked hard to make their farm presentable to the public. Cheerful banners hang between the various sheds, stables and barns, which all have been given a bit of a cleaning (and perhaps a new coat of paint here and there). Of course, it is still a farm, so perhaps don't wear your very best shoes, but as far as farms go, it's been made as neat as can be.
And while the main draws of the day may be releasing the Miltank herd out onto the pasture again after a long winter inside -- whimsically called 'Cow Ballet' on the info sign -- and the Great Tauros Race, Moo Moo Farms has set up various little events and booths to entertain their guests, and perhaps teach them a thing or two about farm life.
A large information sign stands at the gate to the farm, letting visitors know what sort of events are taking place, as well as where and when these are happening. The two big ones -- the Miltank Ballet and the Tauros Race -- are spaced in such a way that people can easily attend both, and most of the other little events are available throughout the entire day.
The Miltank Ballet will be taking place at 1PM over by the big barn. There is little you can do to participate in this (unless you are a cow?), but if you want to watch some ecstatic Miltank dance through the mud and grass after a long winter inside, you should definitely come check this out.
The Tauros Race will start at 4PM (sign ups close at 3PM) and anyone who wants to help give the Tauros a good round of exercise is encouraged and welcome to sign up. There is, according to the sign, a small mystery prize to be won, but surely we are all here because we want to help some cooped up Tauros, right?
In addition to those two big events, two paddocks have been made ready where visitors can test themselves against a Bucking Bronco -- that's his name, Bronco the Bouffalant -- to see how long they can last in the saddle. Due to safety concerns, participants for this event will need to be 16+. For the children, there is a separate rodeo in which they can ride Vaquero the Dubwool, who, for all his seemingly wild behaviour, is actually a very well trained Dubwool who'll make sure no harm comes to the kids.
Of course, while people are free to bring their own food, the Moo Moo Farms have also set up a wide variety of booths where people can buy anything from fresh Moo Moo Milk and milkshakes to freshly made cheese and bread, and oh, is that apple pie? That most certainly is apple pie, as well as various other homey pastries. And as the day goes on, and people might start craving something a little less sweet and more filling, a booth opens up selling various curries. Don't worry, there won't be any Snorlax you need to share with this time!
And for anyone who has found themselves wanting and craving a bovine of their own after all these cute sights, you are in luck! Amidst the various booths, there is also one run by two cheery farm girls, advertising a sale on eggs! All the eggs that are normally available from the Moo Moo Farms can be bought at a whopping 50% discount. Mind that this is only on the purchase price of the egg itself. The price for any additional egg-moves remains the same.
There are also some other, smaller things set up, such a station where you can learn about milking a Miltank and a barrel where you can bob for apples, and even a horseshoe toss game. Most of these are definitely aimed towards teaching and entertaining little kids, but nobody will stop you if you decide to muscle past a row of Youngsters to claim the apple bobbing barrel.

Izuku and Leonardo Dicowprio
Tauros: Leonardo Dicowprio
1. - Mud: Detour. Having witnessed this Tauros nearly fly into a frenzy after almost stepping in a comically small puddle, Izuku doesn't trust that a muddy bog won't be equally as mortifying and while he's a risk taker he's not going to put poor Leonardo through that. Time to see if there's any way they can get around it to avoid going through! It seems like the muddy bog is going to be crowded with bulls trying to muscle straight through or even get some playtime in, so Leonardo's aversion to anything semi-liquid may work to Izuku's advantage in that it won't serve as a distraction, at least.
2. - Water: Why is there so much water already? This obstacle is 500 times worse than the last one, what did Leonardo do to deserve this cruel and unusual punishment. So, plunging through the river along with the other Tauros is going to be a no-go. However, this time Izuku is going to see if he and Leonardo can brave that rickety bridge together...it's scary for sure, but this Tauros is light and nimble on its feet given how quickly and efficiently Izuku watched him flee from the dreaded H20. He is going to try and give Leonardo the best encouragement he can, telling him what a brave bull he is, just keep looking ahead and don't look down and Izuku promises everything will be just fine. Trust in those nimble feeties of yours. If it seems that Leonardo absolutely won't budge and refuses to try to cross even that way though, he'll try to find a more secure way across. He's not going to push the poor bull if his phobia runs too deep for even a bridge to save him.
3. - Stairs: No detours this time, Izuku is at least confident Leonardo will do well here. Remember what he said about him being light and nimble on his feet? That makes him a perfect candidate for making his way up the steps. Slow and steady wins the race, as they say, and being nimble and light makes for an even better performance even when the dreaded stairs are your obstacle. And the best part? NO WATER. Nothing can stop him now.
4. - Oh god, not the Bees: So the smart idea here would be to just try to avoid the swarm, right? Maybe take another detour or just run as fast as you can in the hopes that you'll get lucky and make it through unscathed. As simple as that would be, Izuku can tell that the moment the stampede gets to these giant bees it's going to be a bad time for everyone unless something is done. And Izuku, well. He's a hero first, and he's not thinking immediately about how he can use these bees to his advantage. He hasn't seen these Pokemon before, but it only takes one look at Vespiquen for him to know that it's not one you want to get on the bad side of. So what is Izuku going to do? He's going to have Leonardo work his charms and attempt to use Attract on the Vespiquen in the hopes that if she can be calmed down (or at the very least distracted), she can be lead away from the main path along with her Combee posse. Does Izuku have a plan for what to do after that? Well...not entirely? He doesn't mind as much if he loses time if it means creating a safe path for everyone including himself. All he can hope is that he'll be able to lead Vespiquen to a suitable new hive location before Attract wears off...and that's all assuming it even works. If it doesn't, then the best he can hope for is pressing forward, quickly. So they don't, you know. Suffer the wrath of the b e e s.
5. - Pollen: Not much can be done on his end about the pollen, unfortunately. Even if he had any Pokemon that could assist him he might not have thought to bring them along (is that cheating?), so he's simply going to try to carefully press forward in as straight of a line as possible until they make it through. He'll encourage Leonardo to try to keep his head low in the hopes that maybe the pollen will settle in the air the same way smoke does so that maybe he won't be walking straight into giant clouds of it. Part way through the trek, Izuku will realize that some of the Pokemon floating above are able to influence the tide of the wind and will try to call up to them and ask if they could kindly use those abilities of theirs to waft the pollen in a different direction long enough for them to pass through.
6. - This Poor Dumb Sawsbuck: There is no way Izuku is just going to barrel past a Pokemon in need and not try to help it. Even if it costs him the entire race, he'll stop his Tauros entirely and get off to see if he can calm the Pokemon down long enough to help remove the lamp. He won't rush it; if it needs to take its time to calm down enough to let him get near, he'll let it take as much as it needs. He will try the same Attract strategy first though to see if that helps to get it to calm down and come over, just to see. Izuku knows nothing about Sawsbuck and what their gender differences are or are not, and with the lamp on its head he can't see any potential antlers anyway, not that it even matters for Sawsbuck. It's worth a shot, right? Izuku may not have his Quirk here, but he's plenty physically strong on his own, strong enough that he's fairly confident that if the Sawsbuck will let him get his hands on it, he might be able to pull the thing off.
7. - Picnic: Upon realizing that he's going to crash through the picnic of a bunch of little girls who did nothing to deserve this, Izuku is going to attempt to distract Leonardo with some more tasty berries from his pockets. Surely those will be tempting enough to convince him not to go for the picnic, he hopes? He knows it's not picnic goodies, but they're so much more easily accessible than trying to ransack an in-progress picnic. Should that fail, he will do all he can to try to not allow Leonardo to go towards the little girls, he is not in the business of trampling innocent children alright.
Anything else: While Izuku's entry into this race happened due to misunderstanding, he won't intentionally be throwing the race or trying to lose (especially with Katsuki watching, do you think he wants to die?). He will still put in the best effort he can to win! But when it comes to crossing obstacles and coming up with ways safely around them, he isn't above losing time in those moments as opposed to just rushing through at the expense of Leonardo or any of the people/Pokemon they come across. It's all in good fun at the end of the day, and he'd sooner lose than someone get hurt over it. Or traumatized, if you're a hydrophobic bull.
He has no experience when it comes to riding animals, unfortunately, so he won't have any kind of leg up on the competition in that regard. It doesn't mean he won't try his damnnest to hang on to Leonardo like a particularly pesky flea, though. He's light and strong, surely he can hold on even if something happens. Plus, he trusts Leonardo not to stumble.
