isthedeadcat | 14. [Video/Action for Azalea] Birthday woes? XD

[Hello Johto! Today in the wonderful adventures of Lion in Johto, we can see the pokémart from outside. Also, a lot of rain. And a Lucario with an umbrella.

Oh, and under the same umbrella, there is one Lion ~~so get in the car~~.]

Good afternoon, everyone. It has been raining for a while, hasn't it? At least there have been no other side effects, unlike the last times it rained. Hopefully the rainy weather will have subsided by the time we reach Halloween. It would be a shame for it to ruin the celebrations.

But I suppose getting to the point is important right now. If by then the rain has stopped, my group will be flying to Goldenrod on the sixteenth, to join the Halloween celebrations there. As we have less people than we used to, we have a few extra spots, so we wouldn't mind taking two or three more passengers.

The trip shouldn't take longer than two days by flying, so feel free to let me know if you'd like to join us.

[And Lion is back to shopping for the trip. Even if you don't have CR, feel free to hop on the trip if you want a fast ride from Azalea to Goldenrod, Lion is all for meeting new people.]

[LOCKED FROM MISTER WILLARD, open to everyone else in the universe XD]

For those who know him, Will's birthday is coming on the fifteenth. He probably hasn't told anyone, but feel free to congratulate him, I'm sure he will appreciate the thought.

About that, has anyone read or at least seen any mystery novel in Johto that doesn't feel like a pokémon version of one of the novels in other worlds? Or at least any novel that is unique to Johto? I do have a backup plan, but I'd really like to give him a book he hasn't read yet as a gift.

Want me to go back?

[ Who cares about the rain. ]

There is no hurry at all, wait until Wednesday, since the forecast says the rain should stop a little by then.

We wouldn't want you ill on your birthday.

I am sure the Goldenrod Store must have something like that, Miss Lion.

[Lion nods at that.] I'll have another look at the catalog to make sure, thank you.

You are welcome. I take this friend of yours is really fond of mystery novels, right?

He's a great fan of the genre. I've been looking for a gift for a while, but he has read more of those novels than one would expect.

Hi Lion, it's been a little while [Anew can't really hide her smile now that she has the chance to talk again with Lion] How have you been?

Anew, I'm glad to see you...!

I have been well, fortunately. How about you?

Hn. I forgot about that.

I'm glad

I'm at Ecruteak right now, and I also got a couple of new pokemon two, so yes I have been pretty busy

By the way, I've also been hearing about this "Halloween" event, I remember something about home, it has to do with costumes and candies, right?

Maybe you could give him something related to them that it's not a book?

Well, I didn't. [Sigh xD] And Beatrice is probably looking forward to it too, being that we haven't had any birthday celebrations yet.

I do have a few additional plans in case of this one not working. I've had a lot of time to think.

Hn. It's something new for her, yes.

So... what's Halloween, exactly?

It's good to hear that. New pokémon always keep us on edge, don't they?

Yes, there are celebrations being prepared in most large cities, including feasts, costumes and games. You should check to see if there are any in Ecruteak.

Halloween is a celebration closely related to an ancient celtic festival for the end of the summer. According to some beliefs, it's also a time when ghosts and witches walk among the people...

By now very few actually celebrate its real meaning, like it has happened with most religious celebrations.

There seem to be several appointed activities for Halloween here in Johto. There will be food, costumes and candy... Also contests for carving pumpkins, so if you are in any of those towns you should be able to have the full experience.

So you better make it on time, and as dry as possible, do you hear me?

Well, I'm always up for a good party!

Then I'm certain you won't be disappointed, there seem to be very capable people behind the organization of these celebrations.

You're very kind, Lion-san. Flying with that many people...

I've heard breeders can use hidden machines without getting a badge. Do you know if that's true?

It's really nothing... I have quite a few flying pokémon, and with this weather it's not a good idea to go traveling for over a week.

I can't say I've tried...
I was interested in the rewards for the gym fights, so I actually obtained the first badge long before a friend offered to lend me the Hidden Machine.

Why the costumes, though? Was that an old thing or a new thing?

The costumes are far more recent. At the beginning mostly children wore the costumes, but lately adults have also started disguising themselves for Halloween.

So it's just for fun?
