fallers_rpg | Alola Farmers Harvest Festival!

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!

It's almost surreal to see a Snorlax, of all Pokemon, being able to dodge on an even footing with Monta. So much that he barely registers the fact that it jumps, and with enough force to avoid Monta's Flame Wheel bluff.

The command for Earthquake comes, and Sena flinches. Nin can fly, and she's gotten out of the way thanks to Monta drawing in the attention towards himself, but Monta...

"Nin, Screech once more! Monta, jump!"

Nin tries to unnerve the Snorlax's focus for the Earthquake with its loud screech, but there's not much you can do to stop a falling Snorlax to begin with...Monta prepares to jump and try to complete his Close Combat maneuver, but...?

"Snorlax!"

There is an almighty crash, as Monta and Snorlax crash together. The crowd goes silent as Monta's Close Combat has impacted into Snorlax, his fist buried deep into his belly fat. It seems like the FIghting Move has done the normal Pokemon in, Snorlax trembling.

But then... suddenly, Snorlax grabs a hold of Monta, and there's a flash of DETERMINATION in his eyes as he proclaims, "SNORRRRLAXXXXX!"

And with a powerful heave, he pulls Monta up, up, up and over, into a powerful Seismic Toss, the image of the Moon flashing for half a moment before a almighty crash slams and rocks the entire battlefield.

When the dust settles, Monta is buried halfway into the dirt, and Snorlax is panting.

"Monta, is unable to battle!" proclaimed the Referee.

"M-Monta!"

To see his first partner Pokemon sprawled out like this...well, it's not an unfamliar sight, but it never feels good to take a loss. But they let themselves get taken in by that Snorlax's pace, so maybe this was inevitable in the end.

"Hah...you did a great job, Monta...take a rest."

He recalls his Infernape before looking at Nin and nodding. This is...bad. Nin mostly tends to run support, so who knows how well she can hold up against this powerhouse. All he can do now is trust in her speed. She's been slowly getting faster all battle thanks to her Speed Boost ability, so...

"Let's finish this quick, Nin!"

The Ninjask buzzes in reply.

"This is quite the workout, you and your Pokemon... are going to feast well today!" Exclaimed Roman. "Ready, Snorlax?"

"Snor!" Exclaimed Snorlax, shaking off his exhaustion for one last clash.

"Snorlax, Quick Attack!"

Crouching low, he burst forward for another headlong charge.

"Yeah? Well, we'll make sure what we're feasting on is a victory meal!"

That's not much of a comeback, Sena.

"Nin! No matter how fast that Snorlax is, we know the true strength of speed! Don't forget that...now, scramble!"

Even with the weird terminology, it's obvious that what Sena's ordering to do is a last minute gamble of some sort. Nin, by all reason, should be flying as high as possible, taking advantage of her speed and staying out of Snorlax's reach.

Instead, she flies close to the ground, splitting into several Double Teams like she's done all battle.

Then, all of a sudden, she fires a series of Air Cuttters at the ground near Snorlax's feet. It brings up a cloud of dust to mask her movements - and it looks like an attempt to trip the behemoth up, too.

Snorlax weaved as much as possible, but the sheer amount of Air Cutters were too much. In a flash of attacks, he stumbled and skidded to a rolling halt as he struggled to get up. This was probably a good point for Nin to try and land a finishing move as Rowan exclaimed, "Snorlax, can you stand? Use Mega Punch!"

"Nin, don't let up! This is your chance! X-Scissor!"

It shows that things have come down to the wire, that Sena isn't bothering with tactics now - just pure speed and ~~footwork~~ flight, letting Nin's training and instincts guide her.

Several Double Teamed copies of Nin fly out of the smoke, weaving around each other in rapidly escalating patterns.

Then they all dive down, forelegs crossed with the telltale energy of X-Scissor running through them.

The Snorlax met their clash, Mega Punch passing through the after images.

For a moment, there was a Kurosaki-style pass, and then Snorlax fell over KOed.

"Snorlax is unable to battle! Victory goes to the challenger Sena!" Exclaimed the Referee. "The Seven Star Restaurant concedes the battle, and the meal is his and his Pokemon!"

"Congratulations!" Exclaimed Roman, recalling Snorlax and clapping his hands as with Kylie and the rest of the restaurant patrons who had paused in their meals to watch the battle. "Excellent, excellent! Your meal will be ready shortly! If there wasn't any doubt!"

"Your table is ready, please, release your Pokemon so we can let them relax and recover with a hearty meal." said Kylie, bowing.

It was tense for several moments until Snorlax fell over, and even then Sena's left numb with shock for a few moments after the referee's declaration. However, when he does realize that he's won, he lets out a surpising "OOOOOOOOOOOOH!" victory cry, almost startling coming from such a small guy. It's a common celebration for someone who plays football like him, but for anyone happening to witness the battle, it's somewhat alarming.

Nin sees nothing wrong with this, however, and cheerfully buzzes around his head. "You did great, Nin! It's been so long since we've - hang on -"

Sena immediately turns to Kylie and Roman, bowing courteously. It's a sharp contrast to his almost wild celebration earlier, but it's just as earnest.

"Thanks for being a gracious host, it's been a long time since we've had a battle like that..." He straightens up, grinning.

"I'll do that, thanks!" oh man. feast time. he's got a full party that's ready for some food.
