[ Minfilia is almost a little too put together, as she transmits a video from East Area Three - she's in one of the many abandoned mining tunnels, holding a newly-used Pokeball in her hands. There's half an Audino paw on the camera, as well. ]

Hello. I've taken care of many different sorts of Pokemon before - but I believe I've caught one I do not know how to care for. You see, I often care for more... organic Pokemon.

But I have come into possession of a Revavroom. They are engine-like Pokemon, and I do not know if there is anything I should know about caring for them. I'm still not comfortable with a lot of technology, you see - and thus, I worry I will not be a good trainer to this new Pokemon.

May I ask advice?

[ Hesitation, before she ends the video. (Nobody needs to know her sorrow over losing her friends and love just before this trip.) And a half-cut off voice, her Common-speaking Audino-- ]

Filia, aren't you gonna ask bout--

Across the Pokémon world, characters may have spotted a falling star last night. Or at least, one would think that's what it was: a naturally occurring phenomenon, rather than a legendary artifact. Specifically, the Reveal Glass fell to earth during a fight among a group of legendaries started by the return of a long-lost family member. But it's probably best to leave them to handle all that themselves, while your characters deal with other consequences.

The Reveal Glass shattered upon impact, and the shards scattered throughout Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands… And made their way into the hearts of your characters. But bleeding isn't the concern here. Instead, the impact will hit when a character first looks into any reflective service. An eerie feeling hits them as they're transported to the Mirror Dimension.

While this realm can be many different things for different characters, one thing is always true: It is a place of honesty, where true selves are revealed. Those struck by a shard will find themselves facing truths they are no longer able to hide, and now must accept. Fortunately enough, even those who haven't been struck will be able to enter the Mirror Dimension during this event via a reflective surface to offer help. By the end of the 29th, things will return to normal. Characters will be back in the usual Pokémon world and their hearts will be rid of the shards, but time is strange in the Mirror Dimension, and the experience may feel like it goes on far longer than a day. Or, maybe that's just the emotional exhaustion.

The Reveal Glass plot is here. You can swing by the event info post for additional details and FAQ, and play out your characters’ enforced therapy on this post. As with most VR events, this plot is entirely optional and your characters don't need to take part at all.

The last few hours before dusk sees you all arriving at a large, stately home just outside of Lavender Town.

Unlike previous years, where Halloween had you visiting dilapidated castles, this manor home is in perfect condition. Age hasn't crumbled the walls or worn away the dark roof, but rather it sits on the manor like a heavy, proud crown, a testament to the many long years it has stood here while everything around it changed but it stayed forever the same. Candlelight flickers in its many windows, while it casts a dark shadow against the slowly setting sun. The gravel crunches under your feet as you make it up the long drive and a cold wind chills you to your very bones, even through the layers of whatever costume you've chosen to wear.

Then the manor's large double doors fling up. Two long shadows stretch down across the driveway towards you, light spilling around two silhouettes standing in the opened door, beckoning, inviting. Soy doffs his hat, while Riegfried bows deep, his hare ears nearly brushing the ground.

"Welcome to our Halloween Feast."

[Someone is feeling a bit lonely today thanks to this mouse swarm. However, talking about things like this has always been difficult for her, especially in regards to feelings. Yet, she's not sure if she can keep bottling it up either. So have an anonymous text.]


Have you noticed how these mouse Pokemon are running around in pairs or in families of three or four?

It must be nice to have someone at your side without having to worry whether they'll leave. To have a family.

Do you have a family back home? What are they like?

[ Every month or so, people vanished around now. Minfilia would scroll though - and if it was somebody she knew, she would mourn quietly.

And yet, one name struck something else into her - thus, why she's making a post, from her home near Celadon. She's dressed casually, and still looking serious. ]
 
When I first arrived, there was a man here who terrified me. One who had... hurt me and my people back home. [ The details didn't matter now. ] In order to protect myself, I began to train myself, and began to train my team. My goal was to become Champion. It seemed to be a place where we could be safe.
 
I know he had little power here now, but I did not know that when I arrived. I was ignorant, and he took advantage of it.
 
And yet, he is now gone. Just before I began my trek though Victory Road.
 
...I suppose I simply needed to tell people. And ask, I suppose. [ Though she hestitates on the question. She's not mourning. She should be celebrating, yet. She changes her mind on the question. ] What motivates you to grow stronger here?
 
[ Notably, she has not said his name. (What name would she call him? Emet-Selch, or Solus?) ]

Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

What’s this? There’s glitter in the air. What’s this? There’s dresses everywhere.

Oh right. It’s Prom time.



From the afternoon on, on Friday the 7th of April, your characters will all be arriving at Tohjo Falls via the transport arranged for by Lance. He did end up borrowing a few of those Corviknights from the JKBA, but there are also several of you who will find themselves flown to the Falls by one of Lance’s Dragonites or Charizards. Please give them a poffin if you are able, they are all very good boys and girls.


Your characters will be set down on a tiled driveway (more like flyway, Ha) in front of an impressive-looking villa. Those who have been here before might note that the villa has gotten a bit of a renovation and an update. Turns out that when Team Rocket kidnaps you and keeps you captive in your own home for several weeks while wrecking the house and digging Arceus knows how many basements beneath the house, you might be entitled to some compensation.

And from the looks of things, Lance and co used that compensation to turn their little vacation home back into something where they can relax in peace.

After you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Lance or one of the other Elite Four members, who will give you a quick run-down. You are free to explore the house and surrounding area at your leisure. Please respect their privacy and do not go into any of the locked rooms. You’ll find your accommodations behind the house, so feel free to head there and unpack. Oh, and, there will be a little announcement later, so if you could be in the dining room for that, that’d be stellar.

Well, off you go!




WELCOME (BACK) TO THE FALLS

[ Minfilia had a stern look on her face. (And looked a little tired.) ] Hopefully that's the last of that.

[ She comments, not elaborating. But then, she puts on her usual placid smile. ] May I ask something which may seem strange to many of those here? And that is - are the weeks and days and months the same as where you come from? In my case, they are not - our weeks are eight days, our months thirty-two days. I, of course, expect the years are different - but it has still been a struggle to adapt to seven-day weeks.

...That reminds me, however. Though conversion, I have learned it is my nameday-- birthday within the next week. The 23rd, I believe, is the closest to the date I would celebrate back home.

I have no plans for that day. No - a day off is something to celebrate... especially without seeing a Murkrow or Nicket again. [ Huh. She sounds. Tired. Saying those two Pokemons' names. ]

[[ Also open to action on the 23rd - you can catch her around Goldenrod! I'm still technically on hiatus because of this being a tough month for me, but wanted to get this out and do stuff with it :3c ]]

[The recording opens on a shot of a living room floor. A laughing Angel is there, absolutely covered in kittens! Seven little Littens crawl over her lap, demand pets, tug at her clothes or are trying to wrestle each other. Each Litten is wearing a different coloured ribbon around their neck, though many of the ribbons have chew and singe marks.

Though, while it is Angel being recorded, it's Armin who speaks, his voice warm with fondness and humour.]


Miss Minfilia? I've managed to breed that Litten you requested, though I think I was a little too successful.

[A momentary pause just to enjoy the sight of two Littens who have decided to start a little pouncing match in Angel's lap.]

For anyone else watching -- please take these little guys off my hands? One of them is reserved, obviously, but the other six are looking for good homes. They all come with seventeen moves fresh out of the egg and they are all male. One of them has a Hidden Ability, so let me know if you'd like that one. No charge, you are doing me a favour here.

[Armin laughs.]

Please. Before Angel convinces me we really need six more kittens around the gym.

[It's a water gym, Angel! It goes against the theme!!]



[ooc: 7 of the 7 are spoken for, the rest is free to adopt. The HA one also spoken for.

Each comes with the moves: Ember; Scratch; Growl; Lick; Leer; Fire fang; Roar; Bite; Swagger; Fury swipes; Trash; Flamethrower; Scary Face; Flare Blitz; Outrage; Flame Charge; Torment;]

Who: Cloud Strife
Where: Network + Route 29
When: mid-November
Summary: Cloud arrives in Johto.

1. Network - text

How do you catch a Pokemon if you don't have one to battle with? Can I just throw balls at it until one of them works? Feels like I'd run out fast.

2. Action - Route 29

Fortunately, Cloud is used to trekking around in the boonies, so the three-day journey on foot from New Bark Town to Cherrygrove - traveling through a forest filled with wild Pokemon, unarmed and alone - is no big deal to him. But Cloud's never been afraid to get scrappy when he needs to, and wild places don't scare him...and, well, he's used to being alone. So none of this really bothers him as much as it might bother someone else, even when CJ insists it's time to go hunt berries and takes Cloud literally when he tells the Swablu fine, go ahead, see if I care.

Which is why, when someone runs into him on his way through the forest, they'll find a 16-year-old blond in a military uniform squaring off with a Heracross. He actually holds his own for a brief bit, fighting with a style that's part military CQC training and part tenacious cornered animal, until the Heracross manages to slip its horn under a punch, scoop Cloud up with it, and toss him into a tree.

Early Saturday morning, the doors of one of the largest --if not the largest-- convention centres in Viridian City open to welcome everybody to this years Battle Convention.

Spread out across several floors, and the battling fields outside, the Battle Convention is the place to be for anyone with an interest in pokemon battling. Whether you are a hardcore battler trying to hone your craft even further, or a newcomer to the battling scene hoping to learn, the Battle Convention has things of interest to everybody. It's promising to be a busy event, with trainers attending from all over Johto and Kanto. Famous battlers and gym leaders alike can be spotted in the crowds, hosting workshops or even entering in the tournaments.

Helping Hand... [ Minfilia starts her broadcast rather strangely, now doesn't she? ] It seems to me that most battles in this land are one-on-one. It is the sort of battle in the upcoming tournament, and is also the sort which is used in the gym challenge. And yet, our companions have moves which seem to suggest that they are more adapt at battling in larger groups. Helping Hand is but one of them. There are other moves, such as Heal Pulse, that would only aid if you wished to heal your opponent. [ A beat. ] Which is useful in some situations, I must admit - if you find a hurt Pokemon on the road, for example.

I cannot help but wonder if battling with more Pokemon then once is a more accepted thing in other regions. Perhaps it is something we can experiment with? I do not expect we can change the culture of this land, mind you. Yet, it may be interesting. [ Or fun, but Minfilia doesn't say that! ]

[ Kaiba's sitting out by the lake in Violet City, his small Horsea swimming and playing with a Magikarp, an Alolan Raichu, and a Hisuian Goodra. It's a happy scene, but their Trainer's still frowning a little. ]

I'm getting ready to challenge my first gym once Mizuchi evolves, and I've been working and studying here in Violet for the last week or so. I believe I understand the basic strategy, and I'll give it a few days to scrape together enough to buy a TM or two, but I have a few questions:

[ He takes a deep breath. If you thought these questions would be about Pokémon training, you'd be mistaken. ]

Why am I still considered a minor by this world's labor laws? I run my own corporate empire at home, and I regularly work at least 60 hours a week. To suggest I can't handle more than 20 hours of fetching, filing, or cashiering is insulting.

[ A small Meowth bounds up and mugs for the camera. He sighs and gently skritches behind its ears. ]

So in search of alternatives, I've read about Pay Day. Sliver here hasn't mastered it yet, but it makes no sense. How does this cat magically summon legal currency, and how has it not cratered this world's economy by doing so? You can't just print money, it devalues it. Unless it somehow creates productivity by doing so...or the move somehow steals someone else's money. Does it?

[ The camera has a few Zigzagoon in the background from the swarm, Minfilia looking a bit tired as her female Meowstic tries to fight them. She holds up a badge - the Zephyr Badge! There's a warm smile on her face, tired but proud. ]

It was quite the interesting experience fighting a Gym Leader - I hope that the others end up as enlightening. I shall be setting out to the next city as soon as I can. But I've... a small concern.

[ The camera pans to show quite the crew. Her entire team are out and relaxing. Note the multiple cat-like Pokemon... ] Will they truly be okay in the box? I wish not to choose favorites, but I do know that some of them will do better against the next gym then others.

...Perhaps I shall need to spoil them when we get to Azalea Town.
