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!

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

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?"

"I consider myself to be a fan of Iron Maiden," replied Tony as he looked up from a circuit board. "What're you looking for? A synthesizer? Sound board? Customized amp? One of those little percussion thingamabobs that people play drums on nowadays? I can make practically anything with the right schematics."

[takeittothebridge]

Bridge snickered a bit. "You mean a midi pad? Well, I'd say 'all of the above', but I doubt I can really afford that much right now."

Music equipment was expensive.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"I get that. But this is a cheap-deal right now. Since I'm building it all and I want to get used to the tech level of this place." Tony went over the math, calculated the exchange rate... "1000 poke. That's about what, 100 dollars? Get me that later, you can owe me, and I can cobble together whatever you need, up to three things on future charge. Call it a inventors experiment here."

"I haven't heard any good Earth music since I've gotten here, and I could really use something good."

[takeittothebridge]

He gave a low whistle. "Well, with such a great deal, how can I pass it up? So maybe a synth, a sound board, and a midi pad? I don't have a guitar yet, so the amp will have to wait until later."

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his phone and pulled up some of schematics for the equipment he'd used back home.

"Something like these?"

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Friday, scan those in for me?" asked Tony as his glasses took a 3D render of the schematics onto his phone and downloaded them onto the junky laptop he had cobbled together. Looking it over, he nodded.

"Yeah, I can work with that, maybe make a few improvements on them since I've seen a couple of these before. I'll have them to you by Monday. How's that sound?"

[takeittothebridge]

"That'd be awesome, thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to have enough money by then."

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Not a problem, if you're short, just owe me. I'm not really hurting for money right now since I got a lot of projects here." said Tony. He handed him a card he had printed up. "Tony Stark, Stark Repairs."

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.

Tony is back home, having gotten several commissions for new items, various Stark Tech branded gear and hey, he's made a few friends along the way. There's some good people on this island, and more than a few wanted his technology to help them improve their quality of life.

"Lucy I'm home from de club!" he announced as Golurk let himself to the back yard. "Kid? Jenny? I brought home Chinese, or at least what amounts to Chinese. I think there's Moo Goo Gui Pan here."

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter nearly sighs in relief, looks like he's safe for now and pulls his door open all the way. Tony even seems like he's in a good mood-that's a plus. He never needs to find out about the mishap with the suit.

"Welcome back, Mr Stark! How was the last day of the festival? I stayed home like all day reading my physics book. It's really interesting." He rambles off as Shelob makes her way out of Peter's room.

Dwayne, who comes over to hover by Peter seems confused. He went to check on Peter earlier in the afternoon and for some reason he wasn't there. Like he'd just left the house without him.

"All day?" The rotomdex asks.

"Uh... practically." Peter makes a face at Dwayne to be quiet.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Telemetry says he was at the festival though," said Doreen, confused. "And moving fast."

"Really?" said Tony, glancing at her. "Kid? I mean, just putting it out on a limb there but were you moving fast? I mean, if you were in a Pokemon battle there was no shame in hiding it..."

[hashtagparkerluck]

Why is everyone trying to get him in trouble? That's so unfair. What did he even do? Besides try to hide that his his suit got possessed by a rotom and nearly wrecked the whole festival. But that was totally not his fault and crisis averted!

Well.

Mostly averted. it was dealt with at any rate.

"I uh.. I might have run through the festival area like... once? Good for cardio, you know?"

"Oh, that explains why he wasn't here this afternoon." Dwayne says approvingly. He always approves of a good workout.

"Spina..." Shelob frowns before turning turning to Doreen and proceeding to give her the whole story.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Uh huh," replied Tony, chuckling a little. "Well, as long as no one got hurt. No one got hurt right?"

"I'm pretty sure no one got hurt badly," said Doreen blithely.

"Kid?"

[hashtagparkerluck]

Everyone in this room is conspiring against him. Why this? Peter looks down at Shelob who looks completely unashamed of herself for telling on him. Dwayne still looks confused.

God, he's so, so dead. RIP Peter Parker, finally done in by Parker Luck.

"Uh... so... I can explain?"

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"You're lucky I'm in a good mood kid, and I found a half-decent Chinese restaurant, so the explanation should be worth it." said Tony, eyes rolling so hard this should be worth it.

"Sit down, have some food, don't worry about explaining too much detail, just tell me one thing: did it involve the suit, and if so, do I need to fix it."

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

Re: B...Battle...

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Uh..."

For once, Tony is actually dumbfounded as he stares for half a moment before walking over and crouching down. "Kid, that's... really, not how you battle. You can't battle with an egg, or force it to hatch like that."

"Golurk," agreed Golurk as it reached down and patted Reira on the head and then the Egg. "Lurk, Gol."

"See? Tiny agrees with me."

[soft_focus]

"Nothing else worked though," she mutters, crouching down and hunkering in place herself instead of moving. "I walked everywhere, and held it close, like everyone said. And they're still an egg..."

There is a pause, and the empath squints at Tiny. "....you're not small..."

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Maybe it's not yet time to come on out," replied Tony. "Did you bring it into the Nurse to get it checked up on? I heard Pokemon sometimes take a long time to hatch."

"Gorlurk," replied Tiny, seemingly grinning at that.

"Tiny likes the name though," replied Tony.

[soft_focus]

Reira just frowns and stares. But also no, she did not take them for a check up, and that's what the silence is for.

But.

"...mnh..." She stares at Tiny. "....I guess that's true."

Well that's an odd way to put it.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"We should probably bring it in for a check up then," said Tony, gesturing. "C'mon kid, let's bring it to the Nurse's station.

He pointed at the Nurse Joy who was tending to people and Pokemon over yonder.

[soft_focus]

"Mnhhh..." Oh okay then fine. Reira will scoop up her egg, even if she's pouting all the while that she does it.

Shame this egg won't be hatching for a good number of weeks.

[inadvertentdadfigure]

"Don't worry too much if it isn't close to hatching. Pokemon seem to appreciate the attention even when they're not hatched," said Tony.
