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.

Of course, he also has... no sense of perspective as to how "this body" feels now versus how better living conditions could improve things, but anyway. That's fine.
He raises his eyebrows slightly and then glances upward, trying to remember the answers to Dimitri's question. "Oh, let's see... Mudsdale, to start with. And then... Luxray, Toucannon, Linoone... Arcanine, of course! And then Masquerain, Golett, Milcery, Chingling... Skorupi, Quagsire, Fomantis, and... Komala."

Dimitri suddenly wonders how invasive it would be if he asked to keep tabs on Grampa's location at all times, in order to send him more comfortable clothes and camping equipment. He knows that he's supposed to be saving up right now but....
Dimitri listens to the list of Pokemon, and shakes his head. "It doesn't seem like any of them can learn the move that I am thinking of..." And trust Dimitri, he had to do a lot of research when Felix offered to let him use the TM. "If you ever come across a Palien that can use the move Pay Day, I think it would help you a great deal."
no subject
He doesn't get it???? Where's the problem.
"Pay Day...? I will keep that in mind, then - what does it do?"
no subject
"If you so wished, you could also indulge in those comforts," he tries. "You would possibly quite like it. Pay Day could help you with that - it is a move that assists you in earning money."
Sure, that's how he'll describe it.
no subject
It's not, of course, that physical comfort seems totally inaccessible to him; he knows those sorts of things are made easily available in this place, and the funds to procure them aren't too hard to earn, either.
But, uh. You know. Some things just aren't priorities in his mind.
"I will consider the possibility... thank you for the advice."
no subject
Do trees care about the kind of soil they're in? Do they pay mind to regular watering?
Will he like having a nice comfortable bed to sleep in?
Dimitri has so many worries.
For now, he just nods. "It would be a shame not to experience such things when you now have the ability," he offers, because it's all he can really think to say. "Like this event, I think. The enjoyment is important."
