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...

[That's not normal, right? It's not. Plants don't grow THAT quickly.

He'd been planning to go out for a bit and get some field work in since he'd been sort of falling behind lately... but it seems like the field's come to HIM instead. That's, uh, bizarre.

Spur seems to be attracted to one of the blossoms.]


What's that you see there, Spur?

[Takuro walks up to the flower and takes a sniff.[

[Plants are all well and good, but plants that quickly, growing over the windows, and now the water and rock Pokemon in the Habitat Center are freaking out. Needless to say, Ran's got her hands full.]

What a bothersome situation...
carrotandrod: (Ooooh... Sashimi!)

[personal profile] carrotandrod 2014-04-05 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...!

[Dylas was turning around, staring at the large blossoms creeping over everything, and almost ran into Ran as she was helping out, barely springing away to avoid crashing into her]

faithful_kitsune: Oh I'm sorry (contrite)

[personal profile] faithful_kitsune 2014-04-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
O-oh, Dylas! Good morning. This is... quite a sight, is it not?
carrotandrod: (Hey... what's that word I want? BAKA!)

[personal profile] carrotandrod 2014-04-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
S-sorry but Good Morning.

[He glanced away in embarrassment at almost ramming into her]

...

Yeah, I can only imagine what it looks like when it's in bloom.
faithful_kitsune: Riiiiiiiiiight. (disbelieving)

[personal profile] faithful_kitsune 2014-04-05 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
A most curious phenomenon. I can only hope whatever is causing it does not mean ill on us.

[Cress's Charmander, Flamberge, is with him today along with his other two Pokemon, a Honedge and Magickarp. The human entertaining his fish with some water in the towns detective fountain.]

Char~ [The lizard comes up to Takuro, fetching bows around her neck.]

Hum..? [He looks over his shoulder to see Flamberge interacting with the flowers and what seems to be another Pokemon, he'll investigate now that Vorpal's in water.] Oh, hello.

[Looks like the Pokemon came with a bonder attached. His Charmander goes between Cress's legs, the Honedge glaring it's usual intimidation.]
carrotandrod: (See? I can smile)

[personal profile] carrotandrod 2014-04-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I almost feel bad for the people who have allergies with all these plants around.

[The Axew Takuro tilts his head. She seems to be having fun at least. He helps her a bit with the flowers, in that case.]

Hello. Would that be your Charmander, then? She seems to get along well enough with Takuro.

[Spur the Klink -- still small for "his" age -- floats over to the Honeedge and grinds gears curiously.]

Oh my, that will be a problem, won't it? Hay fever is such a troublesome condition.
carrotandrod: (Ooooh... Sashimi!)

[personal profile] carrotandrod 2014-04-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Thank the...

[He trails off, funny - he can't seem to remember the god's name, it was just on the tip of his tongue. But whatever, but his attention was grabbed by the pink flower just above the doorway, his ears perking up]

Hey - you seen this before?

[There is one shiny blue Nidoking who has not taken well to the new environment, and has been spending most of the morning clawing at the plant life around his trainer's home. Said trainer is following behind him, trying to dissuade him from tearing up any more of the flowers than necessary.]

Thank you for clearing the pathway, but you don't have to go quite so far. They aren't really doing any harm as long as they aren't in the way. [This is not an acceptable reason, apparently, and the Nidoking continues trying to clear them away.]

Haha, yeah. She's a new member of our little Pokemon family. [Cress looks down to see the two Pokemon getting along. It must be nice for her to be among others in her egg group for once.. all those Honedges at home.]

Her name's Flamberge..... I kinda thought she was a boy at first but she doesn't seem to protest her name. [Cress scratches the back of his head.

The Carmander adores the flowers around her, picking some to hold.

Gungnir's Honedge ways continue, that large dread filled eye burning into the other steal type just above him. The sword doesn't mean to look so violate or creepy all the time so it's hard to tell when they do and don't mean it.]
all_onis_are_true: (Cool calm and collected)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-04-05 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Spur shies away a bit. You're a scary sword. :< Takuro seems to be enjoying being in Flamberge's company; he always does like seeing others happy.]

I see. She'll get along well enough with Takuro, I think. Takuro seems to have a knack for getting along with other Pokemon.

[He bows a bit.]

I am Hiroshi Yamane. The Klink is Spur. May I have your name?
incousinswithyou: (a bit ruffled)

[personal profile] incousinswithyou 2014-04-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[this...is weird. Not unpleasant, no, but Michiru is certainly wary. So she's going to go take a walk around town to survey the extent of the 'damages,' so to speak.

Her Budew, however, seems to be having the time of her life. The little thing is invariably several feet ahead of her trainer, running off to peer at that shrub and sniff at that bud. She always winds up back at Michiru's ankles, chirping her enthusiasm and relaying everything she's seen and heard and wondering why her trainer is walking so slowly.]
90sbangs: (5 | And I don't think I can look at this)

[personal profile] 90sbangs 2014-04-05 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Cress, Cress Albane. My father is Miguel Albane, he runs a Pokemon training school.. [He's not sure if the name means anything but it's worth mentioning..] It's nice to meet you, how about this weather?

[As a Sword Cress is obligated to keep the people of Union happy, so conversation is key...... right? Something like that.] Yeah, Flamberge has a nack for it too I think. She's really sweet.. my dad wonders if she's going to keep that happy demeanor when she evolves. [No one blames you Spur, Honedges are crazy.]
inthenameofthemoon: ([usagi] catching flowers)

[personal profile] inthenameofthemoon 2014-04-05 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eventually, down the road, Michiru should see Usagi standing underneath a whole bunch of plants that have at least managed to make its own natural trellis archway. Her eyes are wide with excitement as she practically almost dances. ]

Pinky, this is amazing! Look at all the plants and flowers everywhere!

[ But, Pinky isn't on her usual perch ontop of Usagi's head. Where is she?

From atop the gathering of vines, Pinky the Cleffa has taken it upon herself to do some climbing so she can sit down and enjoy the view.

merameranomi: (more smiles really)

[It's pretty weird for plants to grow that fast, but Gladiolus the Oddish is as happy as it can be, jumping in circles all over the place, playing with vines and singing happily. None of his other housemates are as happy as him though, specially the fire guys.

Ace is just carefully walking after his Oddish, careful not to touch any of the vegetation for too long in case he burns it. This is an uncomfortable situation for him.

Gladiolus stops by a beautiful pink blossom and starts smelling it, causing Ace to get close and look at it]


What kind of flower do you think this is?

heartsurgery: (☆ so we would stay up late)

[Kairi wakes up to find flowers everywhere, and she's absolutely delighted. Within a couple hours, she's managed to throw together a little picnic. Sandwiches and lemonade have been set out on a big blanket, out of the way of foot traffic.

It's still a little brisk, but Kairi's nothing if not used to chill breezes. She's wearing a lightly-patterned yellow sundress and sandals as she relaxes beside her snoozing Clefairy, a book on Pokemon breeding propped open in her lap.

Gotta make the best of a bad situation, right?]
incousinswithyou: (you're all pretty cute)

[personal profile] incousinswithyou 2014-04-05 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[awesome looking trellis thing? Budew is so there. She stares up at it in wonder and pride before she finally notices Usagi. Upon which she immediately jumps, eyes wide, and flees back to the safety of Michiru.

Aaand here's Michiru rounding the corner right now.]


Oh? Fancy meeting you here. [the lack of a Cleffa on Usagi's head causes her to pause a moment before she finally spots the wayward Pokemon and flashes Pinky a smile as well]

[Kanji's been up early a lot this past week, trying to grab whatever training time he can for once. As he heads out into the fresh air, then, he spots the scattered flora early: and damn. That's - that's beautiful!
...Okay, he can spare a little while to do a quick sketch of the scene, can't he? So he's found himself a comfy spot, and is scribbling away, his Pokémon crowding round to try and see what their friend's up to.]

[personal profile] whateveryoueatliveitspart 2014-04-05 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[When a kid comes by and stops to examine the plants that Kanji's drawing, blocking his view in the process, it's likely not much more than a mild inconvenience. After all, other people have probably done the same thing and moved on soon after.

The real problem shows itself when the kid gently handles the single fully-opened blossom in the entire scene - which is in a very well-positioned and artistic location that Kanji hasn't finished drawing - and pulls out a pair of pruning shears.]
tagteams: (▽ that guy feels fear of a pitfall too)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-04-05 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[As long as the door to her house was cleared from vines binding it shut, then she is alright with this floral invasion. It's like the natural outside world finally came inside the city.

The weather is nice along with the scenery in the Residential District and Quinn is just relaxing off to the side, watching people and Pokémon either enjoying the flowers or trying to get them out of the way. Since today is so nice outside the city, she thought it would be a good idea to bring her team out to enjoy the air with her.

It's... quite a large team sitting around with her. Smaller ones playing around with the flowers while the bigger/older ones just watch.

[Flynn couldn't help but stare at the sight of greenery practically overtaking the city as he walked to the wall with a Mawile(Titania)following him. It was strange and was there a plant that grew at such a rate like these did? But with his attention diverted elsewhere, he ended up bumping his left side into a vine-covered post.]

Aah...

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-05 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sketch, sketch, look up - and as soon as Kanji sees what's going on, he just about drops his sketchbook.]

Hey - hey, wait a minute! Wh-what do you think you're doin'?
