[As the people of Union begin to move out into the plains, they'll find that the Councilor's warnings were apt. Though not everyone is targeted, it isn't long before a few unlucky travelers find themselves on the receiving end of the same type of attack. The bandits, whoever they might be, are experts at swooping out of the blue, striking so swiftly that the victims almost never even catch a glimpse of them.

How exactly will they put this to a stop? There's so many, it seems impossible to take them out one group at a time... Perhaps they have a base somewhere.]

Who: Pamela Isley and OPEN
What: Pamela’s 19th birthday party. Everyone is invited.
When: July 18th
Where: The Isley manor

[Although Pamela’s mother Cordelia Isley is a known socialite, the Isleys don’t often throw parties – or not large ones, anyhow. Pamela’s father Walter Isley is a high ranking Engineer and a workaholic, so most Isley parties are just small affairs organized solely by Cordelia, or sometimes by Pamela’s grandparents, Hugh and Jocasta. In the latter case, the parties tend to be for an older crowd.

In light of Pamela’s nineteenth birthday, her recent evolution, and her involvement in the diplomatic relations between Union and Caldera, her grandparents felt generous and decided to throw a large party. Pamela herself had been hoping for a small event, but her grandparents and mother were having none of it. So Pamela took it upon herself to personally improve her grandparents’ front yard and garden. There’s a long winding path leading up to the Isley home, thoroughly adorned with flowers that are in full bloom.

The invitation was extended to everyone in Union as well as their Calderan visitors. Although nowhere near the entire city is here, there’s still a fairly large turnout of people from all social stations ranging from poor to nobility.]

(ooc: Changed the date from the 19th to the 18th so that characters can attend without clashing with the upcoming game plot!)

Hey! How are you guys doing?

[The video shows the cheerful face of Goku today, looking like he just got done with a workout.]

Y'see, Machop and I have been putting in some extra training and he sorta wants to test his strength against someone else. He could just fight me all day, but-! [He looks over and grins at Machop for a second.] I think a little variety would do him some good. So if anyone wants to, he'll be ready to go tomorrow. I think he needs a little breather for now. I sure did give him a good workout today, right Machop? [As to which the pokémon responds happily.]

Oh, and something else- [But before Goku has a chance to finish his sentence, there's a resounding CRASH from behind, to which he turns around. From behind Goku's head is a giant mess of pots and pans that had come crashing down from above the stove, and Klink looking very guilty.]

Waaaaahhhh! Klink, you gotta be a little more careful! It's alright, I'll get it in a second. [Turning back around-] Well, what I was gunna ask if if anyone had anything to help Klink from running into stuff all the time, he tries his hardest but I can't seem to manage to get him to stop running into things... [He scratches his head a few times, in thought.]

[Pamela looks quite different on this warp band broadcast. Her eyes are much lighter, she's lost the glasses, and her skin's quite pale - it's almost white with a slight greenish hue. Her hair even grew a few inches. In fact, someone who didn't know her well probably wouldn't recognize her until she starts speaking.]

'Tis the season to evolve, it seems. I'm going to need a mostly new wardrobe - at least for the things I can't just have altered. I'd welcome some company.

[Her Roselia nudges her shoulder insistently and pipes up. Those who understand Pokemon will hear him saying "The party, Pamela! You promised!" Pamela sighs a bit but smiles shortly afterward.]

Yes, Basil, I won't forget. My family is insisting that I have a big party for my birthday this year. It's a month from now and I'm extending a formal invitation to everyone. Please RSVP with at least five days' notice if you'll be coming for dinner. Otherwise, there will be a buffet.

[Basil nods approvingly and Pamela disconnects the video feed.]

[Action - Out in a clearing in the Verdant Forest near Union's walls]

[She'd thought about asking, but in the end decided to see what she could do on her own with the Leaf element enhanced sword she'd been given for her part in aiding Caldera.

It's quite apparent that she's a beginner. She's got a basic grasp of "aim the pointy end at the opponent" and her footwork isn't awful solely because she knows how to dance. There's some grace to her movements. Just not much skill. Anyone who knows what they're doing could disarm her very quickly.

Her Gloom, a baby Oddish, her Roselia, a baby Scyther and her Venusaur are sitting back and watching her with some mild amusement. Sage the Venusaur lets out a little warning growl when he hears someone approaching. Pamela stops what she's doing and glances in the direction Sage is indicating.]

Oh, hello.

(ooc note: With Pamela's 1st evolution comes pheromone powers. They aren't very powerful yet and have a short range of approximately 3 feet or so. She's currently unaware that she has them. If you want to embarrass your character a little, please feel free to have an awkward moment. Otherwise, please feel free to comment on that perfume that suits her so well)

[This is a Nidorina. This is a Nidorina with a thin chain around her neck, a Razor Claw hanging from it like a pendant. But that's not the point.

The point is that anyone familiar with a certain Shifter may notice that the look on this Nidorina's face is very similar to the look on a certain Nidoran♀'s face. A look of utter exasperation but restrained fondness for whomever is holding the Warp Band. Oh Blue Rose, you and your utterly strange relationship with Nero. She just evolved and she's still giving him those looks.]

So, guess who's... Don't look at me like that, Blue. Remember who's going to make you freaking queen soon.

Promises. If you were, you'd have done it by now.

[That makes Nero snort.] Okay, so you don't appreciate being adored. I'll just show them something better.

[Nero props his Warp Band on something, making the feed jump for a bit, and when he comes into the picture, it's fairly obvious what that "something" is. His right arm had changed. Before, it was blue (a dark shade of grey in the feed), roughly textured, with claws instead of nails, but now it had an addition-- small triangular fin attached to the fore-arm. Or rather, the fin had grown out of the arm. Not to mention the claws at the end of his fingers have gotten just a bit larger and sharper.

Clearly Blue Rose isn't the only one to have evolved.

With an inordinately pleased look on his face, Nero flexes his improved arm and punches the air with it. Anyone expecting the fin to flap around with the exercise will be disappointed, because it's extremely stiff.]

There's got to be something about the Caldera air if Blue and I evolved at the same time. Not that I'm complaining. [He smiles wide, a huge grin that shows off a bunch of sharp teeth.] Arm's gotten heavier, and is awful on clothes, but a guy can definitely get used to this. I'm gonna have a whole lot of fun with this arm.

Just don't cut yourself shaving.

And don't wear yourself out trying to be a buzzkill, Blue.

Hey everyone!

[That's definitely Rise's voice, but the camera is pointing at what is clearly a serenely floating Gardevoir

.]

So, I have a couple evolution-related announcements. The first is that I'm now partnered with the most elegant Pokémon in the world, Miss Himiko here.

[The Gardevoir takes a bow.]

The second is I think I evolved myself!

[She turns the camera around to give it a smile and a look at her face, which honestly doesn't look any different other than boasting bigger hair ties.]

I was in Caldera for my sixteenth birthday, but the morning of I swear my hair got about a foot longer and I grew three inches all at once. Also some other stuff I'm not talking about over the Warp Band, so don't ask, 'kay?

Plus, I can see more stuff without, you know, seeing it now. Items and things and not just people and Pokémon. Actually, I guess if it wasn't for that the rest of this could just be puberty giving me an encore, but apparently that's normal for Normal-types evolving...

realmenknitplushies

[Kanji looks a spot edgy on the feed today. His plans for the week? Take a trip over to Caldera to help with the repair efforts. However? He'd made a promise - no long distance journeys, even with the warp, without a Flying type by his side. Just in case.

Said Flying type... well.]

Hey, everyone. Got a problem.

I'm ... kinda worried about Flick. Uh, she's my Pidgey? [Panning the view around to the bird in question (the cute little waistcoat making it quite clear who's training her) - she's trying to hide from view.] She's always been kinda shy, but it got worse after me 'n a few of the others went off training - you know, the other week. When we evolved. Wasn't sure what'd gotten into her.

But she was workin' hard last week, and... I saw her start to evolve too. Thing is, soon as it started - she kinda freaked out 'n - stopped.
I get the feelin' it's not the first time from the way my others looked at her.

[He sighs.]

How'm I meant to help her?

[Audio-Unlisted Warp Band]

[Okay. Normally Sync doesn't hold grudges--the guy didn't even offend him personally, yet. However, he knows the guy's brother, and watching his behavior on the network has been just. Grating, to put it mildly. Plus this is the perfect excuse to see how nicely his mimic skills have developed over the past few weeks. Analysts take note, this can be picked up by them as fake, but unnaturally good, as it will likely fool a great many since Luke fon Fabre hasn't been doing well with the 'common folk'.]

Tch. Listen, and don't go pestering me about it, but I--I needed to get something off my chest. It's been bugging me since I said it. More annoying ... [a beat]

Alright damn it! I was jealous, okay?! I ... I can't wear the mullet like Asch and I wish I looked that cool with it.

((OOC: Sync won't be replying, but feel free to threadjack and such~ Also, Nor has given a blessing to make this post!))

[Action]

[A few hours after his small prank, Sync is still snickering about it occasionally, but now he needs a job. He took a break from helping Banzu, but he'll either need to get back to it(which he will eventually because he still owes Banzu), or maybe go on an expedition to the Old City and dig for things to find. A perfect place to contemplate destiny is thankfully one of the many benches lining Union while he stares up into the sky aimlessly.]

somnambulatory

[Video]

[When the video comes on, Jinxie's already glancing back and forth like she's about to say something super secret and important. She sort of is, but it's also pretty benign on the whole.]

Um... so, you know how usually when people have babies, there's a party for the parents to invite their friends and celebrate? Has anyone ever done something like that for their Pokemon? I know the breeding center just handles all the eggs and everything, but... what if the mother and the father are two Pokemon you've known for years, and are more like friends of the family? Would it be silly to have a party to celebrate? Do you think anyone would want to go to a party like that?

[This could just be Jinxie inviting people she knows to just such a party. It's hard to tell, with the needlessly furtive way she's going about it.]

[Action]

[Later in the day, Jinxie can be found running errands around the city. She's got a little cloth pouch hanging around her neck, with a black egg with a white skull on it inside - helping out Dokuro and Shi a little while they get some rest during the day. She'll be heading for the breeding center to pick up some supplies for the baby-to-be, but she's also looking for some specific people today: Quinn, Melaka, Eucliwood, Blackquill, and Rise in particular.]

((OOC: Note to self on current charm totals - Barrier x0, Hex x1, Confusion x1, Curse x2))

all_onis_are_true

[Hiroshi seems to have gained quite a bit of confidence over the past few months. Admittedly, it's hard to tell with the famously reserved young man, but he seems to be less uneasy around his own Pokemon of late.]

Excuse me. I hate to be a bother, but I was wondering if anybody was interested in going to the Magnet Cave with me? I have heard rumors that certain Pokemon evolve with exposure to magnetic forces, and I believe Maxwell may have that capability. I am certain others in town would be interested in observing this phenomenon as well, assuming it is true.

Thank you for your time.

globetrotting

Hello, Union! My name is Blue, and I'm looking for a particular stone if anybody can help me out.

I know the nido lines evolve with the help of one, and I have a gorgeous nidorino I wanted to keep one for. If you know anything about where to find one or have one yourself you wouldn't mind parting with, I'd love to chat. I could offer money or maybe teaching a move or two to your pokémon... we can discuss the details together.

Annnyway - that's all, really. Thank you if you can help me out! And congratulations to those with newborns to care for after the spring fun some of the pokémon had.

( locked action to Green Oak )

nighttimegps

[The feed turns on to show Renko rubbing at her temple with her free hand for a moment, like she'd just woken up. Behind her appears to be a wall that's apparently quite old. Anyone who's been to the ruins will probably realize that's where she is.

She lets out a sigh before she speaks.]

Has anyone ever encountered a Pokémon in the wild that was unusually colored? I know that they're supposed to be unbelievably rare, but...I'm fairly certain I just encountered one.

[She mumbles something about the fact that she didn't even get a chance to try and bond with it, but it's not very audible.]

Are there any tricks to locating them? As in, do their behaviors differ from others of their species? I'd be interested in finding out if anyone else has experience with them.

strangestbluerose

[Observe the interior of Garry's classroom as it's obvious he's twisting his wrist this way and that to get a good look at the Warp Band.] So this is what all the fuss is about...? [Yes, that was a defeated sigh. Good ol' Garry.]

I'm not sure going out is the best idea .. besides, we still have class. So don't think you're going to get out of doing homework! [Right? Right. He's not that scatterbrained.] But maybe a little venture out on the weekends would be okay. During the day. [No thanks for night time.]

I guess it's customary to ask for tips or something like that. [He's really only ever focused on things that had nothing to do with leaving Union so pokemon training has never been his forte. The cute little blue Floette on the edge of his desk sits patiently, looking on.] Instead of tips.. why don't you tell me your favorite thing about training? ...and exploring? [He asks like he's talking to one person instead of a network at whole. Because that's easier and opens communication more. And also might help him a little better. Maybe.]

[Yang is in a park in the business district, leaning against the wall of one of the towers. While she does, she's idly tossing a ball up into the air, doing some impromptu juggling. While she does, though, a baby Mankey is crawling around.]

Awright, Punchy!

[She cheers at him. He barely walks, before he stumbles over onto his face.]

You can do it! Learn to walk! Go go go! C'mon!

[And the Mankey... stumbles over. Again. Yang's grin turns sheepish.]

...'kay, so I guess cheering you isn't magically teaching you to walk well all the time. Good to know!

outtahere

[Banzu comes on, having made an effort to look semi-presentable, which in this case means running a hand through his hair and putting on a clean shirt (in dark gray) and jacket (in black). No hat, tie, or waistcoat as usual, so he's kind of under-dressed for this, but it's better than nothing. The Warp Band seems to have been placed on something, since it's filming from about head height as he sits in a chair.]

Morning, everyone. I'm Banzu.

["Morning" being around 11:30, but it technically counts.]

By now I'm sure you've all heard about the island that was discovered recently, and you've prolly heard from the people who've been that it's a really nice place. Trouble is, if you ain't bonded with a Pokémon that can carry you there or know someone who has, you can't get there. I've got a solution to that.

[He reaches for the Warp Band and turns it to show a miniature steamboat floating in a large glass punchbowl of water sitting on his cleared-off workbench. It may surprise some viewers when they notice that the boat is made of metal. Science!]

This is a model of a boat that can safely carry people to and from the island. Not just the island either; when it's done I'll make it available to groups that wanna search for other islands or go farther along the coast. [For a reasonable fee, of course.] Since the water near the shore won't be deep enough for it, I'm going to have to build a small facility on the coast to be able to build and use it, otherwise people will have to swim out to it just to get on. If you're thinking this sounds like a big job, you're right. That's why I'm looking to hire help gathering materials and for construction. If you or anyone you know'd be interested, get in touch with me.

[He pauses to give everyone time to digest that before continuing.]

But since I'm building this place anyway, I wanted to make a suggestion to everyone:

What if we set up a permanent settlement on the shore?

This is more than just making it easier to get to the island, this could open up a lot of possibilities: a safe place to fish would bring Union more food, a permanent research facility would let researchers find out more about Pokémon that live in the sea, extra protected space would let Union grow its population, and a settlement this close to Union would make good practice for building settlements that're a lot farther away. I bet a lot of you could come up with other things to do with a settlement like this. Building this facility is one thing though. Building an entire settlement is beyond what I can do. There's a ton of details and questions I don't know to ask, and questions I know to ask but not the answers. For example, would a settlement need walls? The guys from Team Evolution say they don't have any; can we do the same without using their methods? Can we clear and secure a route between Union and the settlement so that people who aren't trainers could get there safely? That's something for the Rangers to answer. I'm gonna build this boat no matter what, but it'd be easier to build and use with a permanent settlement on the shore and it could be good for everyone to have it. This could be the first step into expanding beyond the walls. Start thinking about it.

For now though I'm looking to hire people to help me get iron from the mines, that stronger wood from the island, and some regular wood from the forest. I'll be looking to hire people to help me build stuff once I've got materials too. Anyone who's interested lemme know.

[He reaches for the camera.]

Banzu out.

[The video ends.]

[OOC: The plotting post for this is here. There will be a log for gathering the regular wood and logs for the other two if people want.]

footprints_on_your_face

[Action; streets of Union]

[Anyone out and about in the streets of Union today will likely catch sight of a rather energetic young trainer and her Pokemon jogging all throughout the city. It's a daily ritual for Chie and her Tyrogue, both of them needing a healthy amount of physical activity to keep their muscles firm and toned. The two of them push as hard as they can, each one momentarily overcoming the other as they race. For anyone who bothers to watch this in action, there's also a Phanpy doing its best to keep up, as well as a fat Lillipup strolling along casually at a much greater distance, periodically yawning and getting lapped by its trainer and companions.

Eventually, all of them slow to a stop, resting on a bench somewhere in the Entertainment District. The Phanpy flops over exhausted, the Tyrogue sits down and immediately begins doing cool down stretches and massaging its legs, and the Lillipup curls up at Chie's feet to take a nap. Chie herself just drapes her arms across the back of the bench, leaning her head back as she catches her breath.]

Whew... good job, everybody!

[Video]

[Later on, Chie decides to introduce herself over the Warp Band. She is pretty new to this trainer stuff, after all. So everyone is treated to the sight of a big smile and a V for victory as her Pokemon look on from the background.]

Hi, everyone! My name's Chie Satonaka.

[She gestures to the Tyrogue, the Lillipup, and the Phanpy in turn.]

And these are my Pokemon! Lee, Biao, and Panna. I've been buddies with Lee and Biao for a while now, but Panna's new to the team.

[This announcement is met with a happy trumpeting noise from the Phanpy's trunk.]

So anyway, I'm kinda just starting out with this whole Pokemon training thing, so if anybody's got any tips or secret training techniques or anything, just let me know! Chie, out!

crimson_pinnacle

It is that time again! Red is out exploring the Deep Canyon this time, and has a friend today in Blue, his childhood buddy. Hearing about his fun on the Tropical Island, she has went with him to make sure he doesn't get himself killed and train up her team with some Intensive Training while Red is searching for Pokemon to bond with.

Likely he'll be coming with her to the locale all week to help raise up her party and catch up.

For today, though. He is content to search along the rocks with Abby while Zarya stays back a bit to watch Blue while she is tutoring Nike with 'something you'll definitely like' according to her.

"What do you think, Abby?" The Charmander doesn't attempt answering, instead scanning the rocks for friends and trouble.

"Yeah...Me too." The Island had definitely shaken both of them up, but that's all the more reason to try harder and get stronger.

Whoa! That was...you guys evolved? Just like that?

[Toyo is more concerned with the state of her Oval Stone until she realizes it's fine, while Himiko looks up in annoyance that her partner's now a foot taller than she is. Rise pulls up her Warp Band to commemorate the event before realizing it's already recording.]

Guess no more piggyback rides...hey! I was recording that?

...tell me I was recording that, it was the coolest thing I've ever seen!
