[INTERMISSION] JANUARY 2 - SWARM! FARMING POKEMON FREE FOR ALL!
[LET'S START THE NEW YEAR WITH A BANG]
In the new year on Alola, the islands are as pleasant as ever. The sun rises upon a relatively warm climate, the tropical air still chilly from the night before. On Akala specifically this is no different- pokemon are allowed out in to the fields at Paniola ranch, and the air is filled with nothing but quiet rustling sounds from the grass and the distinct hum of nincada.
And then-
"HHHEEEEEE...CHAR!"
The SNEEZE is heard.
Flame rises up into the air like a stringshot directly heavenward, a bright bolt that grabs the attention of everything around. And from there-
Oh.
Oh no.
Chaos.
[CHAOS INDEED]
How Leon made it to Paniola Ranch when he was supposed to be going to the Aether Foundation to converse over some details of what he'd done in the recent weeks alongside one of the Fallers is ultimately irrelevant, because it's Leon. It's sort of his thing. What isn't perhaps his thing, is his Charizard getting a nasty case of hayfever and spooking everything around them with a sneeze.
The various herding pokemon of the ranch have gone nanabs. Alongside the native pokemon of the ranch, entire crowds of already skittish creatures who have been wandering out through smaller wormholes from various regions of the world as of late are also set off, fleeing from the tentatively accepted shelters of their would be rescuers in panic. Within hours, they're all over Akala island- clustering in droves, moving place to place whenever they feel threatened again.
Ultimately, one could catch from the mess of course- but the Ranch hands at Akala would really appreciate it if people could just help bring the herds back. They're just scared, and need somewhere safe!
[THE BIG!]
Many of the larger pokemon are finding refuge in the wilds- though more headstrong sorts, like Tauros, are looming angrily on the direct routes, charging at anyone who might be in their way. Roaming in herds, they're inclined to fight first and run away later- which is especially threatening if it's a cluster of miltank using roll out.
Ponyta, their Galaran counterparts, Tauros, Miltank, and even Mudbray are the primary culprits of this nonsense, stampeding about and ruining the roads with their hooves. It's frankly a blessing that their older counterparts where applicable are nowhere to be seen- can you imagine the damage from Mudsdale?
[THE SMALL...]
The smaller ones however...that's where the real chaos hits.
While the larger of pokemon are rushing about through the roads and routes, various 'softer' pokemon have apparently decided that lawns and even rooftops are a better idea. Filling city after city and tromp-ling along between them with pitter pattery hooves, the goat-likes and sheep-likes can be seen bleating their upset and chewing up everyone's flowers.
That, or sunbathing on the roof. The local Jennys are at a complete loss on how to get all of them down given that it's not something they've really dealt with before, and with all the route complications happening elsewhere, they're really stretched thin! Mareep, Skiddo, and Wooloo can all be found throughout the towns at various points over the course of the week or so, until at last the final ones are herded back home.
Eventually.
[AND SO,]
And so, by the end of the week, the Ranch should be full again. Everyone is grateful- from Kiawe's family to the various dog pokemon whose job it was to try and corral all the cute beasties back into place. As thanks for helping out, everyone should get a chance to enjoy some Moomoo milk and cheese- it tastes great with crackers!

He bowed his head, clutching fistfuls of Stoutland's shaggy fur. "The way they seemed to wish I would drop dead...maybe it's because there's a trace of the pharaoh there, and my single goal has been to prove myself to him. But after all these months living and working with my team, away from the corporate grind and the shadow magic nonsense? And away from Mokuba"
Kaiba finally looked back up at Jonouchi. "I'm not saying I'm going to bow to your every whim or be your best bud or go on friendship picnics, but...if a Kaiba screams at an empty sky, to the consciousness of the world it's like it never made a sound. I need to be part of the universe. Preferably as close to the center of it as possible."

"Gonna be honest, they... ...They need t' get their issues put t' th' side," he answers, perhaps surprisingly. "Th' way they acted... ...look, you ain't th' one I know, but theirs definitely ain't you OR 'her', an' it ain' righ' t' assume tha' won' be th' case..." Katsuya rubs the back of his neck, shrugging. "I mean...I get tha' I made a few wrong guesses like tha' too but..."
... "...Doin' tha's gonna get people hurt. ...Maybe it already did," he adds vaguely. "...an' if y' had t' run int' them... ...'m sorry. Somethin' tells me 'differen' worlds' didn' factor in f'r a heck of a lot longer than it ought've..."
He's quiet for a second- and...while he snorts at the end of Kaiba's words, it at least doesn't feel cruel. "Heh! I dunno abou' th' center...but I'd say everyone needs t' be close t' somethin', righ'? An' y'know...I think y'r doin' an okay job so far. 'S gonna be hard, I'd bet, lettin' anyone other than y'r brother tha' close," Katsuya laughs, somehow seriously all the same. "But y'know, 'f Alola ain' one thing, then th' lot back home are another- an' I'm pretty sure all 'f 'm are ready when you are!"
katsuya how are you still the year 2 highschool version what the hellno subject
The thought of that gives him a headache just to consider. But he eventually looks back at his...ally? And nods.
"...I'm guilty of a few of things they accused me of, if not the whole. They forced me to admit that I've been wrong about a lot of things. How I treated you, most of all."
The faces he makes when he says those words. They're still hard for him. But Stoutland seems to understand what his rider is having difficulty saying and strolls over, giving Jonouchi a long lick on the cheek.
"I think he wants me to say thank you. So. I did."

Well. Katsuya shrugs, continuing on with the awkard lead. "...Don' worry abou' it too much, alrigh'? 'F y' focus too hard on what y' did wrong, how y' gonna see what y' did right? I might not know 'xactly how things went for everyone in each world but...I can at least say yer alrigh' Kaiba. So let's jus' focus on steppin' forward, huh?"
...
"I think any other me would agree. ...Even 'f our thanks was a big wet dog kiss!" He laughs further, Kaseri seemingly joining in the 'laugh'.
no subject
Kaiba hides his smile at Stoutland's outward affection. The mutt is growing on him. Both of them, actually. He should really take a look at that.
But as he shifts back onto the path, herding a stray Wooloo back to Jonouchi's side, he gives the blond a small but genuine smile.
