Springtime for Union

After an unusually long and cold winter, the land is finally beginning to stir in the anticipation of spring. In the forest, the first flowers are beginning to peek out of the ground, the hum of Bug Pokémon begin to be heard, and of course, the first wisps of pollen begin to incite misery amongst the more sensitive of the population. The sun sets later and later each night, and at the end of a long workday, the prospect of escaping early to enjoy a stroll out in the brisk spring air becomes more and more enticing.

The pall cast by Team Evolution has long faded into little more than a distant cloud on the horizon. Though the mystery of 'Mega Evolution' remains unsolved, it seems inconsequential in the face of the strength that Union itself is gaining. All damage from the earthquakes has finally been fully repaired, production of iron and steel has been greatly enhanced by the discovery of the mine, there were plans to build a new port and to enhance the range of the Signal Tower, Enlightened and Pokémon everywhere were evolving one after another... On the whole, morale was high.

The city takes it upon itself to reflect this.

When the people of Union begin to stir early one spring morning, they will awaken to discover a cheerful city, indeed. All of Union, overnight, has become covered with vines and shrubs and flowers - plant life, everywhere the eye could see. Though the majority haven't yet begun to flower, the rainbow assortment of buds promises a lovely sight to come in the near future. A few citizens, annoyed, set to work removing the intrusive flora from their properties, but the majority simply take the unusual sight for what it is.

And for the particularly observant, dotted here and there among the landscape, the occasional large pink blossom can be spotted already in full bloom...

I'm sure you'll get the chance.

[either way, she's still curious about the extent of this crazy plant growth. ]

Are you going anywhere in particular or would you like to walk with us?

[Lulu seems to appreciate it, adding in all the stuff she had seen and heard today. Looks like it doesn't take much for Budew to decide to like somebody.

The Pokemon pauses for a moment though, and peers down at her trainer. Are they going?]

Sure! We'd love to walk with you guys!

[ Usagi glances up at the pokemon up on high, and both she and Pinky smile at each other in agreement. ]

Are you heading anywhere in particular? Or are you just enjoying the sights too?

[that gets a smile as she walks on over to the trellis, holding her arms out for Budew to hop down.]

Not really. It's so widespread, I grew curious and I wanted to see how far the scenic route would take me.

[Budew looks down in trepidation, takes a few steps back, steels herself, and then runs right off the trellis with eyes shut tight. Michiru catches the pokemon easily enough.] Bu!
