Alola Farmers Harvest Festival!

[fallers_npcs]

There's been signs leading up to the announcement and the four islands have been hard at work preparing for such an event. The four islands have been preparing their ferry's for such an occasion all week, but now, it's finally here! The Alola Famers Harvest Festival has begun!

From the Week of the 10th to the 15th, the Farmers Harvest Festival will be available. This means that not only the people of Alola will be celebrating the turn of the season with a huge All-Four Island Farmers Market in the four major town ports, but also there will be music, dancing, and all kinds of adventure just waiting to be found.

But there has also been a surprising upswing in sightings of special Pokemon in the area.

Pokemon from Galar, Alcremie in all of its various forms have been appearing across the islands, drawn by the food and fun. However, some of them are up to mischief and can be found in various spots of the island, stealing food and/or possibly making trouble.

It's up to you to find and deal with these Alcremie as you see fit. But be careful, one of them might have a surprise in store for those unaware!

Towards the end of the week, there will be a surprise appearance from a famous chef duo, one from the Sinnoh Region's famous Seven Stars Restaurant!

Roman and Kylie will be offering a chance to cook a full 7 Course Meal for anyone who can defeat them in battle, for them and their party. Of course, the opportunity is open to everyone involved. All you have to do -- is defeat their champion. Who is their champion? Well, we'll just have to see about that!


Have fun everyone! And please, enjoy!

{ A. Day One - Afternoon }

"They sure do go all out for their festivals here." Peter states to Shelob as he chows down on some really sweet candy. He shares a little with Shelob who makes a contented noise. "Okay so, we stay away from anything citrusy and anything minty." He tells the pokemon.

"Spinarak." Shelob nods.

"There's so many fruits I've never tried though-I mean lemonade doesn't wreck me too badly and it's like a completely different universe, right? I can probably eat the berries here, right?"

"Spina..." Spinarak gave him a look that said whatever he was planning was probably a bad idea.

"Don't look at me like that-I just wanna try some pinap berries and maybe play some games."


{ B. Evenings }

A little later in the evening, Peter Parker has seemingly gone home and Spider-Man is settled nearby on a roof, half hidden by a shadow as he watches over the harvest festival. There's not typically a whole lot crime-wise to be concerned about but he's up here anyway.

Anyone need any help from a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

afternoon

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Sena's out and about too - this time with Nin, one of his smaller Pokemon. The Ninjask might be a little reminiscent of the strange bug ghost Pokemon Sena had out the last time he met Peter. The resemblance is a bit more obvious when the Ninjask suddenly buzzes curiously into Peter's face. Yikes, that was quick...it just popped in out of nowhere...

"Nin, leave him alone, I got you something sweet already - ah." He blinks curiously, trying to place where he's seen Peter and Shelob before.

"You're the uh...spider guy, right?" no he doesn't mean the secret identity he means he remembers meeting you while you were casually hanging upside down from the ceiling

[adora_plz]

Adora is eating pretty much everything in sight.

Having grown up on a diet of nutrient bars, this was heaven for her. And when she overheard Peter talking about wanting Pinap, she looked over at the Pinap Ice Cream she was holding. "Peter!" She called out. "Can you eat Pinap ice Cream?"

[darkenedmoon]

Any time during the week

Yotsuyu is more interested in strolling the market and people-watching than most anything else. Gosetsu and Ajisai are well-behaved and either being carried, or toddling along behind her, and she has slowed her walk to make sure her beloved companions can keep up.

Most likely, you can find her indulging her sweet tooth somewhere...which also means that Yotsuyu will likely be caught unawares by an Alcremie as well!

[blue_ice]

Kaiba isn't much for this type of thing himself, but Miss Anela is heavily involved in the festival. And he can afford a few hours of his time to help the woman who's been looking after him, regardless of whether he needs it.

He's on a short break from hauling fresh fruit to the stand when he sees her. "Have you tried our smoothies yet?"

[blue_ice]

Kaiba can be found at Miss Anela's fruit stand, an apron tied loosely over his usual clothes. He's been helping her carry crates of fruit, handling cash, and making the occasional smoothie (because they're the hot new fad and with a bit of profit margin padding they can more than make their money back).

His smoothies are a rainbow mess of colors with small garnishings---a tropical leaf for a very healthy Bulba Breezy, a RazzBerry Rainbow Twist with a fluffy pink cloud on top, and a flight of Eevee-themed concoctions like the Vaporeon Bubble Blast and Flareon Flash Fire.

Come try them! He's trying to look welcoming, at least. "What'll it be?"

[adora_plz]

"It looks all so really good," said Adora, her mouth watering. "And we've got all week to try them out and I've tried so much."

Fred nickered, nudging her. She had already eaten so much, and her eyes were shining at the sight of the drinks and the food. "Um... A Jolteon Charged Sip?"

[fallers_npcs]

Of course, there's the hard working Miss Anela there at the stand who is manning the food part of it while Kaiba works on the drinks. He's such a good deft hand at things, and she smiles at him. "Did you need to take a break?" she asked after three or so hours of working. "It's been a while, and the sun is hot today."

[takeittothebridge]

"Hm...tough call," Bridge said as he looked over the choices. "What exactly is the pink stuff on top of the Rainbow Twist?"

Open Market Stuffs

[inadvertentdadfigure]

Afternoons

Tony had actually opened a stand. He was repairing small devices, here and there. Making a quick buck was his forte and he was doing a good job of it, spending the day repairing things quickly and improving old gadgets. Most of the time, he was working on things big and small, and when it was done, he would take breaks at the shops and have dinner with Jenny and Peter.

Other times, he would be found at the music and eating while tapping on a brand new laptop he put together. He was testing out the bugs for the OS he wrote. He was considering calling it Mago Fruit.


Battling

There was an impromptu battling thing going on once in a while, and Tony was watching when he noticed some challengers. Golurk looked real excited so he checked his Pokemon's moveset. Committing it to memory, he grinned. "Why not. Let's let off some steam."

Stepping into the ring, he spread his arms and exclaimed, "Come at me bro. One on one, who's coming at the Iron Man and Golurk?"

"Golurk!" Exclaimed Golurk, smacking his arms together.

Afternoons

[takeittothebridge]

Bridge had only meant to drop by quickly to pick up a few things when he noticed the stand with electronic devices, and he couldn't help pausing as he looked them over.

"Impressive," he said. "You wouldn't happen to know much about putting together electronic musical equipment, would you?"

Evening of the 15th

[hashtagparkerluck]

Today has been far more action packed than Peter wanted to deal with. He wanted to just take it easy and read all day but Peeves decided to crash into his life he's spent a huge chunk of his day chasing it. He's back on his bed, Shelob on his stomach having returned home just a little while ago. Oh well, nothing too bad happened, he supposes and at least now he has a second Pokemon. Though what does he even do with it? If he lets it out will it cause problems.

The Spider-Suit's tucked away where Peeves shouldn't be able to find it so... he pulls the pokeball out and looks at it. Fascinated that it can keep Peeves in there. He's pulled out of his thoughts at the sound of the door opening and sits up on his bed, this time Shelob stays where she's stuck herself.

He checks his watch and frowns a little. Isn't it a little early for anyone to be home. He gathers up Shelob and puts her on his bed and sets the pokeball down with her before going to peer through the slightly ajar door to see who's home early.

B...Battle...

[soft_focus]

Reira, frankly, cannot actually pokemon battle right now.

That doesn't stop her from hauling her fairly sizable egg over, and plunking it down.

"...maybe they'll hatch faster now..."

That's

That's not how it works Reira get out of the arena

Open!

[acmellash]

Opening Day

Ash has duties. Being Champion, something he's hid pretty well from the Fallers, there was no hiding it now as the Festival Organizers asked him to open the festival. Clearing his throat, he held up the microphone.

"And so, today marks the 22nd Alola Wide Festival for the Farmers Harvest Festival! As your new Champion, I, Ash Ketchum, mark the opening! Everyone, enjoy the five day market!"

With a nervous grin, he bowed and stepped off the market to applause, walking down to his awaiting family, his friends, and Serena who stood in the crowd, smiling at him. He blushed at her, the girl having come to the Islands to teach.

How to approach her? Well, he would deal with that later. Right now, Pikachu needed his attention, as everyone was pulling him to every corner. And then there was the Press who wanted an interview with the new Champion. Being Champion was tough!


Double Champion Day

"How do you do it?" asked Ash, having gotten a moment alone with Cynthia who was laughing at him. He was collapsed on the grass, the older woman collapsed next to him with an ice cream.

"I'm surprised you just didn't give the title to Kukui," she said teasingly. "After so long, you made it Ash."

"I know," he said, Pikachu collapsed next to him as they stared into the skies. "Champion. I can't believe it myself. It feels like ages since the League and its only been a few months. And the Guzzlord attack...?"

"Take things one step at a time," said Cynthia as she sat up. "Someone want to talk to you," she said. "Take care."

"Later Cynthia." He looked up at the approaching person. "Hey!"


Evening Fireworks

Holding hands with Serena, he smiled as she slipped away to the waiting truck where Burnet was waiting to take her back to the house. "Ellen should be back home too," he said thoughtfully.

"Pika pi?" asked Pikachu, ascending his shoulder.

"Maybe I'm overthinking this but this is the first time I get to myself over everything," said Ash thoughtfully, rubbing his best friend's head. "It's been a long, strange journey, hasn't it Pikachu?"

"Cha!" Exclaimed Pikachu, nuzzling him.

"Yeah. We're going to have a fun year huh?"

{ Sept 15th - Spider-Rotom! - At home }

On the final day of the harvest, Peter had actually intended on staying home. Catch up on any homework, read ahead on a few subjects and do a little Google-or Wingull- searching as well as read articles on Wikipedia and Buzzfeed's equivalents, Bulbapedia and Combfeed. He's spent a few day out and roaming the festival and later in the evening he'll make an appearance as Spider-Man to do his normal patrolling.

The Spider-suit is hanging up in his closet with the door open, it's not a secret among the household anymore so there's not reason to hide it. Peter himself it laying on his bed with a physics book open and a pen in his mouth. Shelob's resting on his stomach as she likes to do and Dwayne is... doing something. Probably setting up a whole schedule he's going to completely ignore.

He's just moving onto another chapter in his book when another rotom comes through his open window. He hears the pokemon before he sees it and glances up at it. Had Dwayne left the pokedex? This one doesn't seem like Dwayne.

"Rotom!" It says in a voice that isn't Dwayne the Rotorock Johnson's. It makes a noise like a giggle and then before Peter can even think to stop it, dives into his suit.

"Uh oh..." Peter voices, sitting up so quickly, Shelob falls off his stomach.

"This seems fun!" The Rotom says in Karen's voice.

"Uh.. yeah, I guess, but can you give me my suit back?" He asks the Rotom. It shakes it's head sharply and then, when Peter tries to grab for it-jumps out of the way and goes back out the window as Peter crashes into the closet door. It might be broken now but he'll fix it later!

He wobbles it a little and frowns. Of course. Why wouldn't this happen. "Okay..." He lets out a breath, brain trying to catch up with what exactly just happened. "S-so... a rotom now has my suit and I don't uh... should I tell Mr Stark about this? Will he be mad? No way, I should definitely... not do that. I'll have to catch it on my own."

"Spina..." Shelob gives him a look like maybe he shouldn't go with that plan.


{ Spider-Rotom - The Harvest Festival }

(Spider-Rotom) Spider-Man looks a bit different today. It seems the colors on his suit have changed a bit and the eyes on the mask are completely different and it has a mouth! with a weird spike on his head. He's also not as talkative as usual but he giggles a lot, shocking a few people with light static shocks and webbing things here and there-some people, some pokemon. Better hope he hasn't decided to use the taser setting.



(Peter Parker) Here comes Peter Parker though so anyone that knows the truth behind who's usually under the mask might be a little concerned. He just rolls his eyes at his Parkerluck because of course that rotom would come here. Where there's people. How does he get his suit back without revealing his identity?

"Peter! There you are! I thought you had scheduled to stay home until four?" Dwayne had caught up to him.

"Yeah well, something came up. Can you... by any chance connect to Karen?"

"No, do you need me to contact Tony Stark?" Peter feels his heart skip an entire beat.

"What? No! Did Karen teach you how to do that? Traitors. All of you!" He throws his hands up in the air. Tony has enough to deal with. He doesn't need to drag Iron Man into this.... although it would be much faster to track Rotom-Karen through Tony's suit. No, bad idea. Tony probably has his suit with him and he's not telling him about this unless he absolutely has to. Which means he's gotta hope that Spider-Rotom steers clear of Tony's booth.

Peter lets out a sigh and taps his wrists together to get his webshooters on. He hears the sound of someone getting shocked and pales. "Oh no, don't tell me!" He races into the crowd of people. "C'mon Shelob!" You'd think it'd be easier to spot the suit but apparently not!

[melodiouspun]

[Day One - Middle of the Week]

"Come get your honey donuts!" Exclaimed Zuzu, a crowd forming at the stand. Of course, with all of the nonsense cleared up after the League, the Honey Donut stand was booming once again and Zuzu was a welcome attraction. Her Duel Runner active, she and her surprisingly active Duel Monsters, both [Soprano] And [Solo] were handing out samples and managing the line as she smiled and served customers.

Business was booming, and she and her Popplio were cheering for people as they moved along the lines.


Marketplace

Along the marketplace, she was also running along, looking at everything and enjoying herself. She'd stop at different stands -- Oranguru's juice bar, Nina's pancake stand, Anela's fruit smoothies, Kiawe's family ice cream, all of it.


Pokemon Battling

Popplio was raring to go as she exclaimed, "Popplio Bubble Beam!"

Popplio reared back and fired a stream of bubbles at her opponent, the bubbles crashing against her opponent as they were driven back in the competing area. With a crash, they fell and the judge threw up his arm. "Popplio wins! The battle goes to Zuzu and Popplio!"

"We did it!" Exclaimed Zuzu happily as she and Popplio danced around. "Okay, next challenger, lets keep up the pace! Who's next?"

[adora_plz]

Day 1 to 12 Posts

Adora is eating everything. And seeing everything.

When she's not eating, she's working part time jobs to earn money to eat more food.

This is like, an all you can eat buffet and Adora cannot stop eating because she just cannot stop it. This is a wonderful, delightful, situation and she loves everything. Nothing could POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

FRIDAY THE 13th

Oh hey.

Hey.

It's Drunk Adora.

Everything was going right, but like... Adora... is drunk?

She's giggling maniacally as she stumbles around, acting giddy as she's dragging a mop around in her hand, talking to people, being silly, "You're silly!" she exclaims to the 4th wall, "Catra's not here to tell me not to be silly so I get to talk to you silly person on the keyboard," she whispers to me narrating her actions.

You see, her sword is curiously mobile, and you need to catch it, as it has been Possessed by a Rotom and it has affected her MIND. She is DRUNK OFF HER HEAD right now, and the only way to undrunk her is to get the Rotom out of her Sword without breaking it.

"Hiiiiiii!" Exclaimed Adora, draping herself over the nearest person. "The silly keyboard man said I should come talk to you~ Winky Face!"


Rest of the Festival

Adora's nursing the biggest hangover. If she thought her First Ones' tech hangover was bad, this was awful. And yet, she couldn't stop groaning.

"Leave me to die," she moaned over her cake and coffee.

[revolutionhawk]

A - Nobody Left Behind

There’s a Rotomdex zipping about around the market stalls, watched by a rather stern-looking young man (for as far as he can see) and presumably his Hawlucha with how he’s perfectly fine with the bird sitting beside him rather than kept within their pokeball.


As for the zappy little ghost though, they hum a catchy tune or two- not always sticking to the same one while perusing the ingredients…


“You really don’t have to go through the effort of doing this,” pipes up Shay at the Rotom when they return with something new to add to what’s clearly a small cooking pot. “Just your so-called obligation to be a guide for me as necessary.”


“And exactly what else were you planning to do this week hm?” the Rotomdex replies with a touch of sass in an entirely feminine voice. “I think it’s ‘necessary’ for me to guide you along the path that brings people together!”


Shay peers at the stew, frowning from apprehension. Though it’s not so much because the little ghost somehow knows what the heck they’re doing, but because he’s not exactly the best to ask when it comes to being a food critic.


B - Wildcard!
[Got something else in mind? Friday the 13th? Anything totally different? Come at me!]

Alcremie Sightings!

[fallers_npcs]

Here, the Alcremie's will be making trouble! Some of them will be appearing in many islands and many of them will be making trouble. You can catch one here!

[shadowslipping]

The festival is a wonderous event. Nostalgic, even, Yuume thinks as she enjoys a good hot tapu cocoa- she's done a little bit of wandering between the stands but for the most part it's equally fun just to sit tight and enjoy the view.

Which is when she hears the complaints.

'This has too much sugar..!'

"Mnh?"

A local patron chokes up their drink, and soon enough they aren't the only one.

'Ugh! Too sweet!' 'It's so much..!' 'I didn't even ask for sugar!'

"Mnhh..?" Another sip.

... "...Mine's just fine though...ah-"

As Yuume sets her coffee down, a small creature that blends right into the desserts on the table jumps. For a moment, Yuume even wonders if the pokemon has been there the whole time. And...

Oh wait. "HEHHHH-!"

"Cremieee!"

The whipped cream miscreant flees, and Yuume bolts to her feet. "A- After it..!"

"Di- nooo!"

THE CHASE IS ON.

[help????]

[serperiority]

Alcremie might not be a Ghost type, but raising two of them (especially Frillish, Lampent is mostly deadpan and disinterested, Frillish is purely chaotic energy when he’s not kept busy with a battle), Trip felt pretty confident he could handle it!!

Besides... Alcremie does sound really sweet and cute, like Vanillite...

Festivals always make him nostalgic, too, for the first time he met Alder...

So, camera in hand and his own Frillish at his side, he started walking around, trying to find evidence of something being amiss!

Frillish searched for a few seconds beside his trainer, before vanishing. Trip walked some distance before hearing a yelp and whipping around to find Frillish terrorizing one of the vendors to steal snacks (it doesn’t even need to eat those)...

“HEY!!”

And while Frillish is disrupting things, its own stolen tropical fruits and berries get (double???)-stolen by a cream-coloured Alcremie.

[hearts_beat]

It was a walking desert buffet! So many kinds, so many choices! And... they're causing trouble. Thaaaaat's not good.

"Ah, now, now, don't do anything... h-hey, don't take that! Wait a sec, stop!" Ellen cried out, flailing in defeat.

And her Haunter is laughing at her the entire time.

Seven Star Restaurant Battle Dining!

[fallers_npcs]

Here, the Seven Star Restaurant will be hosting their battles! Come and Battle them for fine dining!

a challenger appears!

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

"Kya, mukya!" "Monta, hold on, I can't see the sig-"

Watching a guy try to push away a punchmonkey almost the same height as him makes for an entertaining sight at the front of the restaurant, at least. It takes Sena a good thirty seconds to push away the excited Infernape to actually read the darn thing.

"Seven Stars Restaurant's Battle Challenge...? Huh...?" What sort of restaurant would offer a Pokemon Battl-no, wait. That would be a thing in this world, wouldn't it? And it's not like Sena's not up for a challenge.

"Seems interesting..."
