Day at the races

[indigo_league]

Who: Anyone coming to race!
Where: Circuit de Kantochamps
When: September 15th
Summary: Farrah Ari has a problem and she has appealed to you for help!
Log:


On September 15, all who have given heed to Farrah's plea for help gather at Circuit de Kantochamps over in, well, Kanto. UBIRDS were arranged by Farrah for the event (she really, really wants someone to beat these little jerks) so anyone, anywhere is welcome to join!

Once you arrive at the Circuit, Farrah can be seen pacing and muttering to herself, her Cyclizar Charles trying his level best to calm her down. It doesn't look like she is interested in a chat right now. Neither would you be, probably, if your Circuit was absolutely flooded with strange Tentacool knock-offs (If you scan them with your gear, the Pokedex will tell you these pokemon are called Toedscool) who are all jumping around, stretching, wrestling a bit amongst each other and being a rather general nuisance. Though if anyone tries to tell them off, they very quickly flee to hide behind--

Oh good god.

That's an absolutely massive Tentacruel-- no, Toedscruel. She towers over the many little Toedscool, patting them with her massive tentacles, and having the audacity to glare at you if you even dare to look slightly funny at her very precious brood.

Unfortunately, because of how quickly Farrah had to put this all together, there aren't a lot of side activities available at the circuit right now. There is The Race obviously, but apart from that, you are free to check out The Stables where Farrah's Cyclizar are being kept. If you are interested in borrowing one for the race, you might want to head over there a little early and get to meet your new ride.

The other thing that is available is A Small Museum. And we do mean small! It's barely two rooms, but it is filled with memorabilia of Cyclizar racers and racing from outside of this region. It honestly looks less like a formal museum, and more like someone's personal collection that has grown massively out of control. But hey, if you have an interest in learning a bit more about Cyclizar racing (or if you just want a quiet place to flee the crowd) feel free to check it out.

"They were known as Alphas. Exceedingly dangerous by our standards. Though our Pokemon were adept at dealing with them..."

So he imagines, hopes, the same will be true here. The racers out there will be able to defend themselves. Goodness knows Shadowmaru isn't here with pokemon who are terribly strong... He would have brought Whirlipede if he thought there would be combat here.

"I certainly hope not. But ... stranger things have happened."

It's entirely possible it followed them. After all, one of his Growlithe came from that era. But that wasn't one of the pokemon he'd seen there. Said Hisuian Growlithe even takes it upon itself to give Noibat a few reassuring licks. They are helping! Maybe.

“Alpha Pokémon? So that’s what are they called. I’ll try to watch out for them if ever they might reappear again, which I do hope never happens.”

Félix is still shaken from the Toedscruel appearance but he is starting to feel less stiff this time thanks to the Growlithe. The licks are greatly appreciated. Carmen meanwhile hasn’t let go of looking at the screen, hoping that the racers will be alright and can push through the Toedscruel’s schemes in the end.

"As do I. The sounds they made were quite debilitating..."

Especially at night. They were quite terrifying at night. He'd buried himself under his Growlithe sometimes, being stuck in a strange world, stripped of pokemon and defenses... awful.

Said Growlithe is doing its best! While the other one watches too, trying to keep its tail from wagging. Listen, this is just exciting, okay?

“Yikes. I can’t imagine able to sleep easy at night if they are near by and make such loud noises. Félix wouldn’t even like that more than I do since he has very sensitive ears, just like one of my cousins at home,” Isabela confesses, trying not to imagine how horrifying the Aplha Pokémon sounds sound like and Dolores and Félix (the Noibat, not the human) cringing in horror.

“Noi-Bat!”
