Spring Fling
For those who fear the encroaching flowers herald events of a slightly more urgent nature, perhaps it isn't really paranoia so much as sensibility.
Two days after they first appear, every single flower in Union blooms overnight. The sight is incredible - the entire city is blanketed in rainbow waves of color, and the scent of the flowers themselves is quite fragrant. The strange pink blossoms are particularly attractive.
For many of the residents of Union, however, the flowers may not be the first thing on their minds as things go a bit chaotic.
1. Enlightened with a Bug, Fairy, or Grass typing will become subject to extreme emotion swings. Primarily, the emotions will be positive, like overwhelming ecstasy, a sensation of giddiness, and a desire to spread cheer amongst their friends. These Enlightened may also suffer from confusion, an excessive amount of energy, and general loopiness. When not in sunlight, they'll swing towards the negative end of the emotional spectrum.
2. Bug, Grass, and Fairy type Pokémon have taken it upon themselves to settle into this new paradise, with the Bug types descending in swarms from above, and the Grass and Fairy types wandering in through the gates whenever the guards aren't looking. Though not violent, they'll be generally insensitive to the trouble they cause for the humans and will react negatively to anyone or anything harming the flowers.
3. Other strange Pokémon have also wandered into Union and while most appreciate the gentle sunlight, a few of the more mischievous have decided that the city could use some more variety. Each individual Castform may alter the weather between sun, rain, and hail within a certain area of the city ranging about two blocks. If Castform is creating Rain or Hail, Fairy, Bug, and Grass Enlightened will respond in a negative manner.
4. Allergies will be more fun to deal with than ever.
5. Finally, the following event Pokémon will be temporarily available to be bonded with as an extra bonus for this week. Please respond in the Map and Wild Pokemon post as per the usual to claim these. The level range is 5-8.
Castform
Petilil
Cherubi
Combee
Venonat
Flabébé
Jigglypuff
This event will end on April 13th. You may use this post as an IC mingle or make your own entries as you wish. If your character is a Fairy/Bug/Grass Enlightened and you prefer not to play the effects, you may opt-out.

Takuro, this is... pretty bizarre, isn't it?
[Takuro nods a bit. Goodall and Martena don't seem to mind, though, as they muck around the flowers and the vines in the good old sunshine!]

Open, around the residential, shopping, and entertainment districts
But then he opens his eyes with his room filled with sunlight, and wow oh gods everything is just super gorgeous!
Today is a good day. And good days call for good clothes! None of that sensible nonsense his grandparents push him into every time they want to show off. He's way better at showing off! Showing off requires more flowers! Flowers on the white sleeves of his loose, lacy white shirt, flowers bright and eye-catching on the black of his fitted black bodice and the black skirt that falls just beneath his knees... And the skirt is just too black to wear by itself, so he goes ahead and adds a bright, colorful apron and some tall black boots before tearing out the door, petticoats flashing out slightly as he runs, a curious Exeggcute trailing behind him.
Going downstairs makes him a little anxious, but then he's in the sun again, and wow! Gods how pretty can everything be, right? Jadwiga teleports out to hand him Huzar and scold him for forgetting her, but he just smiles at her, wraps the little Dratini around his neck, and continues on his merry way, sticking some flowers in his hair and behind Huzar's ear-thing and on some bystanders, dancing around public squares and chatting with everyone who crosses his path.

In return she holds out the flower crown she had just finished making. It's not anything amazing but it is flowers woven into a circle.
A Girafarig wearing her own crooked flower crown watches on carefully.

Ib is sitting outside Garry's house weaving flowers together while her Bellsprout, Budew, and Spinarak friends scurry about enjoying the sun and flowers all around. At least there's one unaffected among them, a Girafarig who already has a flower crown hanging off her horns. She stays close to Ib and tries to keep watch in case something happens. ]

Uh... hi there!
[The fairy lets out a squeak, its tiny cheeks flushing pink as it ducks down and hides behind its flower. There's a brief rustling sound, and when it comes back up, it's got another flower in one of its hands, which it offers to Chie.]
...For me?
[The Flabébé nods. Blinking curiously, Chie takes the flower and smells it.]
It's really nice! Thank you!
[It giggles and shyly hides behind the stem of its flower again. Looks like someone's got a crush. Chie, for her part, just looks confused.]

Kaido's watching from not too far away with a kind of smirk. But he looks pretty dumb with his sunglasses so you can probably pay him back]

[Sollux is busy musing to himself about bees again. He's encountered the rare female Combee, and his mind is already abuzz with new plans for expanding his hives outside the city.
Thankfully, his Beedrill doesn't seem to view the newcomer as competition, and is happily flitting back and forth between the various sweet-smelling flowers around the city while the Combee trails along after it.]
no subject
Yes, this is a wonderful idea! I'm sure the house will look much better with all of these~ Everyone will like it, I'm sure of it~
[Her new friend buzzes in agreement, occasionally darting off to pluck up another flower and deposit it in Mari's arms.
And no one notices the muffled growling of 'I told you so' in the distance.]no subject
Kaido, on the other hand, decided to brave the fairy invasion to keep an eye on Mari. He's noticed something was off with Floette earlier (she kind of flew away to god knows where, but he trusts her to find her way back, and if it comes to it he can always use the warp band to call her back), and has been looking for Mari, only to find his suspicions confirmed.
At least he went out equipped this time. By which I mean he's got wide sunglasses on]
... are you getting all of those for the house?

open // near residential district
[As he looks around the area, his Purrloin, Braea, hops onto his shoulder and dumps a collected mass of pollen on top of his head! This causes him to sneeze and look over accusingly at the pokemon.]
Braea! First there were those bizarre weather changes every few minutes, and now you...
[He sighs.]
no subject
Of course, Braea dumping all that pollen on Aster isn't helping. Cue a very loud sneeze from poor Hilda. ]

[One of about thirty different flowers.]
This is kinda crazy, huh, Aura?
[Beside her, a tiny Pichu bobs her head, thoughtfully, before hopping up closer to the flower to take a peak.]

[Hi, Yang, have a cheerful Fairy type trying to throw a primitive attempt at a lei and a pair of skinny arms around your neck! Feliks is dressed up all pretty-like today, and giggling a little from the sheer energy all this sunlight seems to be giving him. His Kirlia, never far behind, is dancing around Yang and Feliks excitedly, followed by a trail of bouncing Exeggcute.]
I've been so ready for this, haven't you? So how's it hanging, anyways?

[ Well, Union, Haruka doesn't want to say she told you so....but she totally told you so.
Not that it does her much good when she still isn't sure what's going on. Or when she discovers her Sewaddle's run off. ]
That little...
[ She summons her Pidgey and her Murkrow to help her search from midair and sets out. Things are changing around the city! She does not have time for this!
Any wild Pokémon that get in her way will be brushed aside with an absent harshness. ]
[ option 2 ]
[ Meanwhile, in an alley somewhere, there's a raining Castform watering some flowers....with a little Sewaddle curled up on the paving stones underneath them. This rain. It is making him so sad. So, so sad. He wants to go home.
Somebody, help. ]
Sewaaaaah.....
option 2
It is times like this that she curses the fact she has analyst abilities AND psychic typing. It makes her far too attuned to these things.
Thankfully, she's not alone. Due to the rise in bug pokemon, Setsuna had taken to bringing Charon around with her. The HootHoot on her shoulder tilts its head at the bug but Setsuna holds up a hand to stop it.]
No. Stop the Castform.
[HootHoot blinks it's big eyes in surprise. That's the first time Setsuna HASN'T asked him to get a bug.]
Hoo?
[She sighs, hoping she won't regret this.]
That one is...a friend.
[HootHoot tilts his head as if questioning her sanity. But, she's never steered him wrong before. HootHoot focuses his gaze on the Castform and sends out strong vibes of Hynopsis to put the pokemon to sleep.]

[ And here we have one (1) Hilda, wandering around Union and dealing with allergies the best way she knows how: Not Well. She pulls out a handkerchief and blows her nose. A worried Sam the Mareep is by her side, looking up at Hilda quietly. He doesn't know how to deal with allergies any better than she does.
Really, she should have stayed inside, but she got restless and wanted to take a walk. She's regretting this idea now. ]
no subject
[Indeed, if Hilda ventures too close, Feliks will reach for her hand, sparkling excitedly. Actually, literally sparkling, which is an awesome Enlightened ability, ok?]
Hey! Oh my gods, you have to come dance with us, the weather's so awesome!

[Not that he's complaining exactly. It is a welcome change to see more vegetation around the steel structures, but even the pollen and presence of the flowers and bug pokemon are making Riku sniffle.
But he couldn't very well stay inside the whole day. Clara was practically clawing and charging at the door for a chance to get out. And while he was out, Riku seemed to attract a small admirer in the form of a smaller-than-normal Venonat. The purple bug clings to his leg every once and a while, and even his Skiddo is acting cuddly to Riku now. Normally, she doesn't even like him.
Though when she's not doing that, Clara's prancing around on the streets, going here and there and sometimes not even paying any attention to wherr she is going in her euphoria. So there might be a small chance that you might collide with a perky little grass goat, or just notice her from afar.]

[He looks to the pokemon with him. Bolt sniffing curiously at one of the flowers, Piper huffing from his shoulder and eyeing the bugs with a look of hunger in her eyes, and of course Peter. Peter seems to be especially attracted to the flowers and in a particularly happy mood. His nerves around Piper forgotten for the moment as he enjoys the scenery.]
Well as long as you three are happy. Find anything interesting there Bolt?

Pi! Pika!

on the way to the habitat...
But he was.
The reason he was even doing this was because he couldn't even stand to take care of the rambunctious baby. Not while he's in this state. What state? Well, it's harder to tell with Eren in his human form, but he looks tired and haggard, and his hair is very disheveled.
He swats at bugs grumpily as he makes his way to the habitat, baby Sigilyph in a backpack-carrier. Fig is not nearly as annoyed by the bugs and chirps happily at them.

Oh and she's also being inconvenienced by the weather too but hey, so is everyone.
She may or may not end up angering some wild pokemon too by stepping on a flower or two in the midst of her attempts to keep up with the trio of Moss Rockers. Particularly given that Sneak is feeling more impish than usual and is going out of her way to try to scare Melaka, other people in union, or pretty much anyone she can scare.
