[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!

Introspection done!
"Yeah. That's definitely an Ancient Egyptian goat herding whistle. I guess your past life was a goatherd?"

"Nyh-" Oh. "Uhh..." The blond blinks, feeling a bit awkward about it. "I...guess? I mean, th's part sure feels familiar anyway...did a lotta travelin' I figure, 'cause it sure feels better gettin' 'm on th' move..."
...
"I'd say yer takin' it well, but I guess y' sorta dealt with it yourself in a weird way huh..."

"I mean... I'm lucky, I think? I got to experience all of Atem's memories without a bunch of out-of-context snippets and weird instincts, and I have a degree of separation from them. Because. You know." They gesture vaguely at themself. "But having memories from Ancient Egypt rattling around in my head... it's a bit weird, yeah."

"...Well we def'nitely don' r'member stuff th' same way then..." Which. Figures, but one can't blame him for hoping. "I guess it doesn' sound any easier tho' huh..."
