Fun at the Festival [Open]

Kiki thought the festival was a great idea. She loved summer, and she thought this was a good idea to say goodbye with it. Plus, she loved all of the flowers that were on display everywhere. Her Bayleef, Alice, enjoyed everything as well. The festival was perfect for the grass type. The two of them founs some flower Pokemon hanging around and had a good time with them. Afterward, they found a snack in one of the booths and played a couple of games. As they were walking around, Kiki spotted someone she recognized. "Hey, Nate!" she called as she ran over to her friend. She was pleased to find someone she knew at the festival. "How are you doing? Are you enjoying yourself?"

<Hello, Nate,> Alice said with a smile. She then turned to the Eevee, who she recognized as Watcher. <Are you having fun? This place is great, isn't it?> She just loved festivals and flowers!

Kiki was glad to see that he was in a good mood. Events like this seemed to bring out the best in everyone. "I'm pretty good myself. Thanks." She smiled when she complimented Alice on evolving. She had been proud if her that day. It had taken a lot of attention, care, and work to get to that point, but it had been worth it. There was just one more evolution to go. "Thank you. Your Eevee looks well-raised too." She paused. Eevee had many different evolutions, and she wondered which one Nate would choose. "Do you have any idea which Pokemon you would like Watcher to evolve into?" She would have to make the same decision with her own Eevee, though she would probably end of choosing the grass type, Leafeon.

<Thank you,> Alice said to Nate when the trainer complimented her. She looked at Watcher and smiled. <Hello. Thanks. This festival is pretty fun. I love the sites and smells.>

"Oh, cool," said Kiki. Umbreon were awesome. "Good luck with that." If she remembered correctly, Eevee evolved into Umbreon through friendship at night. Being a great breeder, she was sure Nate could get it done. She smiled when he asked about her own Eevee. "Yes. I'm thinking about having her evolve into a Leafeon. Grass type Pokemon are my favorite. Right, Alice?" She grinned at the Bayleef. She hoped to have enough Pokemon for a full grass team someday. Then she would train them to help her in collecting herbs and crating natural remedies. She had already was doing well with her starter. The future was full of so many possibilities!

<Oh, yes,> Alice said in agreement. She grinned back at Kiki when she mentioned here. <We should all so something together.> She wanted to have some more fun!

"Thanks," said Nate. He nodded when the girl mentioned evolving her Eevee into a Leafeon. "That's a good choice. Good luck to you too. You'll just need a leaf stone." he found all the Eevee evolutions quite fascinating. Maybe he would get a chance to catch another one someday. "I'm not sue what my favorite type of Pokemon is. Maybe dark." He wanted to have a wide variety of Pokemon on his team. There was something great about each type! He seemed to be doing a good job of having a diverse team so far, but there was room for improvement. He suddenly looked up when he saw something flying down towards them. "Hey, it's a Staraptor." He wondered what he wanted. He did not seem threatening, which was good. "Hello there."

Watcher nodded when Alice made her suggestion. <Yeah, let's do something fun.> He was momentarily distracted when the Staraptor swooped down close to them. He offered him a friendly smile when he spoke. <Hi. My name's Watcher.>

"Right." she would find a leaf stone somewhere when she was ready. Then she would have a beautiful shiny Leafeon! "Dark Pokemon are interesting." There was something mysterious about them. While they were not her favorite, she was interested in catching one and getting to know it better. Who knew what could come from that? It sounded like a fun adventure. She followed Nate's gaze as the Staraptor flew down. She noticed that he seemed to have a collar on his foot. Did he have a trainer? That would explain why he seemed pretty friendly. Hmm... She wondered if he needed some help. "Hi. Did you lose your trainer?" She looked around, but everyone at the festival seemed to be enjoying the fun; no one appeared worried about a lost Pokemon.

Alice looked curiously at the Staraptor. She had never seen a Pokemon like him before, and it seemed like the feeling as mutual. <I'm a Bayleef. I evolved from a Chikorita. My name is Alice.> He seemed nice enough. Maybe they could be friends! <Where is your trainer?> It seemed odd he was here alone.

Nate wished he could undestand what the flying type was saying. Kiki did seem to have a point about him having a trainer. He wondered if the collar around his leg would give them a clue. He knelt down near the Staraptor to see if he could get a closer look. "Do you mind if I take a look at that?" he asked gently, his eyes on the collar. If it said anything, he still could not read it from this angle. Maybe there was an address on it.

Watcher's eyes widened as he listened to the Staraptor. <That's terrible! Do you have any idea where your trainer is now?> He could not imagine going through something like that. He wondered if he could help out.

Kiki remained silent while Nate checked out the collar on the Staraptor's foot. This really was quite strange. She wished she could understand what the Pokemon was saying so it would be easier to help. Maybe Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy would be able to lend a hand. This was assuming that the flying type had not run away form his trainer, which was another possibility.

Alice listened carefully to the Staraptor. She glanced at Watcher when he mentioned Sinnoh. <Hey, isn't your trainer from Sinnoh?> She was not sure how helpful this information was, but it was at least something.
