Omanyte Waves and Pixels: Fizzy Bubbles Summer Arcade Event

Waves and Pixels: Fizzy Bubbles Summer Arcade Event!


With all of the chaos happening in Fizzytopia over the past year, especially with the encroaching threat of Shadow Arceus, the New Fizz Entertainment Co. has decided that the populace has needed a much-needed respite. And nothing is more of a respite than a summer vacation at the beach! Emerald ocean, blue skies, and the sandy beach... Nothing could be more fun than a day in the sun. Of course, not everyone is so inclined to spend a day at the beach. So, a brand new resort paradise has been built on the western coast of Fizzytopia!

And this, the AzuVee Arcade Summer Resort was born. Overlooking a pristine patch of the Fizzific, this resort was designed with all ages in mind. With 10 impressive stories, all filled with luxury rooms and highly trained staff, this is the ultimate experience for both trainers and families to enjoy their summer vacation. And to celebrate the grand opening, a special event is being held with all sorts of prizes!

Multiple facilities have been constructed in order to allow participating trainers to get AzuVee Arcade Tokens! As they accumulate tokens, they’ll be able to spend them on a specially curated prize shop featuring some brand new items, as well as harder-to-get commodities! How the resort has managed to procure all of this? Who knows! But that’s not what is important here. What’s important here is enjoying your time here and having as much fun as possible! And with that out of the way, let’s display the various activities!

AzuVee Arcade [Please reply in MediumPurple]-
A sprawling arcade filled to the brim with all the latest arcade machines! Test your luck, and your skill, here blasting away in order to reach a high score! Area Attractions:

Cleffa’s Space Foes- A classic arcade game given new life! Control Cleffa, and through the creative use of your Pokemon’s moves, help it reach the final boss Deoxys and save the galaxy!

Skee Ball- FIve balls, five chances of getting a high score! Have your Pokemon carefully calculate the trajectory and roll the ball down the lane to land into the scoring holes!


Munchlax’s Cabana [Please reply in lemonchiffon]-
The main restaurant built into the resort, complete with a complimentary all-you-can-eat buffet! Styled after a tropical resort cabin, the food and vibes are help meant to fill you up after a relaxing day filled with play!

Merciless Pepper of Quetzlzacatenango Eating Challenge- 10 Peppers. 1 Glass of Milk. How many peppers can your Pokemon eat? Hope they prepare appropriately because even the spicy loving fire-types have trouble completing this! These peppers have been specially curated for spiciness and will not teach CM Fire Shield.

Nanab Ice Cream Sundae Making- Work with your Pokemon to create the best Nanab Berry Ice Cream Sundae you can! Be creative with the moves you use in preparation, and try your best to impress Munchlax himself!


Resort Pool and Bar![Please respond in LightCoral]-
The resort pool, with a swim-up poolside bar so everyone can have a little bit of fun in the sun! Just be careful of the kiddos here!

Supreme Cannonball Challenge- Put all of your style, grace, and force into making the flashiest jump and largest splash with your Pokemon’s cannonball! Remember, it’s just as much as the style as the execution!

Alolan Hula Dance- Grab a complimentary drink of choice and then dance away with the Alolan Hula! Remember, it’s all about the spirit of Alola and keeping the guest entertained! Surely, some traditional Alolan dance moves will help.


Crystal Sands Beach[Please Respond in SeaShell]-

VeeVee Volleyball Match -

Don a white blindfold and a smooth wooden stick, and try to cleanly cut the Watamel Berry in half! This is all about focus and precision, with one misstep causing you to be splattered with berry!


Azu Reef [Please Respond in Aquamarine]-
A coral reef just off the coast of the resort, a perfect spot to see local fish Pokemon as well as take some beautiful pictures.

Treasure Diving Round-Up- A variety of small baubles in the shape of Azurmarill have been placed into the reef. Have your Pokemon dive down and collect as many as they can within the time limit. It’s okay if they don’t know how to Dive, our friendly Pelliper will place them into the reef.

Coral Reef Photo Shoot- Take a rented waterproof camera and get the perfect scenic shot! This is all about having a discerning eye, as well as quick reflexes. You never know what may show up in your shot!

A new resort had opened, and locals, seemingly mostly Trainers, from the Fizzytopian region, had been offered a grand opening special vacation at the resort. Apparently, there were plenty of games and activities and games to enjoy, and some wonderful prizes on offer. Darik Hazel and his two nephews, Slash and PJ, had decided to take the opportunity to take a family vacation together. While they were partially there to do things together, however, there was just so much to do, and the three decided to split up for awhile, and regroup later.

Summer was a great time to relax and just enjoy the sun and the waves, PJ thought. But not the sand. Sand was for Pokemon moves. PJ would much rather be at a pool than on a beach, but a resort at a beach wasn't too bad. He'd even gotten a new pair of swim trunks to wear on this vacation. Directly modeled after his Watchog, the trunks were brown with two yellow rings on each leg, PokeBalls secured on the waistband. Wearing sandals with the same general color scheme, brown with yellow ring-shaped buckles, he felt it was a pretty fitting look for him.

PJ wandered around, Lemon in tow, rather aimlessly. That was, at least, until he caught sight of an arcade. The AzuVee Arcade was apparently what it was called. Arcade games were always fun, so of course he made a beeline for it and walked right in.

There appeared to be two major games featured here, but PJ's attention was immediately drawn to a classic favourite of his: Skee Ball. He went right over to the game. He was pretty decent at skee ball, though it had been awhile since he'd played. And from this setup, it looked like it was meant for a Pokemon to help him out. Of course, he turned to his trusty Watchog by his side. If Lemon had a moment to focus and analyze a situation, he tended to be able to perform much better at it.

Lemon looked at the game, and turned back to PJ. He flicked his tail at the waistband of PJ's trunks, lightly popping a specific Friend Ball off the small magnet holding it, which PJ easily caught. It was his Dustox. PJ sent out his Dustox, and almost immediately, the Pokemon duo began talking. Lemon was chittering and gesturing with his tail, and Dustox was buzzing and flapping in every direction. PJ wasn't entirely sure what they were saying, though if he were to guess... Well, his Watchog was extremely Analytic, and his Dustox had excellent visual prowess with his Compound Eyes. Maybe his Dustox was advising Lemon on angles, and Lemon was trying to decide what level of power he was going to need to use. Discussing strategy, if you will. They also seemed to be looking over at the other game a bit.

The two Pokemon fell silent, and Lemon seemingly confirmed what PJ was thinking. He closed his eyes and got an intense expression that PJ recognised as him using Focus Energy. He then grabbed the first ball, gave a slight nod to Dustox, and strode forward a few paces, rolling the Skee Ball down the lane.

A sprawling arcade filled to the brim with all the latest arcade machines! Test your luck, and your skill, here blasting away in order to reach a high score! Area Attractions:

Cleffa’s Space Foes- A classic arcade game given new life! Control Cleffa, and through the creative use of your Pokemon’s moves, help it reach the final boss Deoxys and save the galaxy!
The electrifying hiss of a dozen aging televisions, the saturated hues of various cabinets, the carpet adorned with various wacky, geometric patterns; so this was what an arcade looked like! Elijah hadn't ever stepped foot in one, the parlors being an endangered species since before he was born, but he'd always get to wondering when he heard passing mentions of them. The cool hangout spot for teens, where all you needed was a bunch of quarters to get your game on... to be fair, those passing mentions were framed with cheesy synthesizers and commercial breaks.

So why was he here in the first place? He could fire up a video game anywhere he wanted, and he had an entire resort to explore; his priorities were elsewhere at the moment. What actually brought him to the arcade was the Porygon that he was chasing down. Epoch wasn't exactly the easiest to read at times, but Elijah could tell by the way that the virtual Pokémon moved that they were utterly enthused about this place. How fitting.

Epoch eventually came to rest in front of a cabinet dotted with illustrations of stars of various shapes and sizes—"Cleffa's Space Foes", the golden title shining brightly above the screen proclaimed. It certainly looked the part; a tiny, blocky representation of a Cleffa danced amongst a starfield of white pixels, little pinpricks on the cathode ray tube display that glowed at him, beckoning him to slide a coin into the slot below—provided the Porygon wasn't doing that already.

"Okay, I guess you want me to give this a shot? Don't know why you're all up in arms about this one in particular, but sure, lemme go grab some change," Elijah said, slinking away from the cabinet to the ATM in the corner. It probably wouldn't hurt to give the game a whirl just to satisfy his oddly energetic teammate. Unfortunately, that very teammate was completely gone when he got back carrying a pile of quarters, but it didn't take long to find Epoch again because they were actually right in front of him—blurry, pixelated, chromatically-aberrated... the Porygon was inside the game.

"I, uh... forgot that you could do that," Elijah said. Amidst all of the hubbub of arriving in Fizzytopia and immediately being presented with several outlandish challenges within the span of a few days, he'd somehow forgotten that Porygon could hop into just about any computer that they came across. Figures that they'd do it now while he was actually trying to enjoy himself for once, but whatever—he'd roll with it. Inserting a coin and pressing the "START" button, he watched as... the Cleffa was replaced by Epoch. They weren't just inside the game, they were playing it, too.

Elijah stared on in bewilderment, watching Epoch deftly slide between hordes of spaceships cascading down the screen like gray, flaming raindrops against the night sky. They zipped through level after level, racking up points like nobody's business, eventually reaching what looked like the final boss of the game—a red and cyan figure with arms that twisted around themselves, almost like strands of DNA. It was imposing for sure, but it didn't seem like a problem for Epoch, who maneuvered around for a bit and then immediately got hit dead-on with a digital Hyper Beam: "GAME OVER", the game declared in big red letters.

...Ouch. Losing was one thing, but losing that far in sounded really painful. Elijah figured that Epoch needed a little help. "Hey... why don't you let me work with you? Power me up," he said, tossing in another quarter and taking the controls. Epoch seemed to catch on, allowing the Cleffa to scoot back in from the bottom of the screen and taking its side. This was a two-player game now, and Elijah was going to win it.

Sharpening his attacks, Recycling powerups, throwing in a Psybeam every once in a while; the duo were unstoppable. Elijah didn't even notice the levels tick by, only realizing just how far in that he'd gotten when the final boss reared its weird form-changing head again. This was it: life or death, now or never, sink or swim.

"Alright bud, you're going down."

Hope they prepare appropriately because even the spicy loving fire-types have trouble completing this! These peppers have been specially curated for spiciness and will not teach CM Fire Shield.

The Bobersons rarely got to take a vacation, due to maintaining a large and multifaceted farm, and so this was a real treat. Granted, half of them had to stay back and keep things running at the farm but it was still nice to have this opportunity.
Robert, feeling peckish after dropping off his luggage began to wander around the massive complex until a lovely scent struck him with newfound purpose. When he wandered into the cabana Bob was dumbfounded and utterly amazed at the smorgasbord before him.
Practically drooling at the mouth, he meandered the buffet picking various foods for himself, and tucked it after taking the appropriate measures first, after all, he wasn't raised in a barn. Close to a barn, yes, but not in one. After he was satiated, Bobert looked around the room and notest a side table for a pepper eating contest for pokemon which piqued his interest.
After reading the rules he pondered for a moment to think who in his party would be the best for the job and decided that Noka would be for the best as they were a husk and probably did not have taste buds. Before progressing though he did have the courtesy to at least ask for their input which was fairly neutral as Noka did not want to disappoint Bobert but probably would not want to eat. After assuring some time together though, Noka began to like the idea more and so they signed up.
Taking their seats Bobert and Noka waited with bated breath as the stack of peppers got placed before them.
“Speed is key here,” Bobert encourages, “ just try not to taste and move swiftly through this and you should be fine. I’ll be right here for you and if all else fails use harden”
And so Noka began the infernal Challenge.

Supreme Cannonball Challenge- Put all of your style, grace, and force into making the flashiest jump and largest splash with your Pokemon’s cannonball! Remember, it’s just as much as the style as the execution!
Summer was upon the Fizzytopia region, and with this season came ample opportunity for all sorts of fun activities. Thus, when word reached the people of Sludge Wave Coast about the opening of the AzuVee Arcade Summer Resort on the other side of the region, the residents all piled aboard the Banette's Revenge, and her captain set sail, clear around the Fizzytopia region to the west coast, and all who came along immediately went off to do all manner of fun activities.

Right now, the Masters family were hanging around the Resort Pool and Bar. Willa Masters and her daughter Maribel had donned swimsuits for the occasion, though right now they were both looking around for the other member of the family- loving father and husband Keith Masters. "Dad did say he was gonna enter the Supreme Cannonball Challenge, right?" Maribel asked.

"He did indeed," nodded Willa. "He left half an hour ago, saying he was going to talk strategy with the Pokémon he intended to enter. But surely that couldn't have taken too long?" she murmured.

"Dad likes to be thorough with these things," shrugged Maribel. "So it's possible."

"Yes," conceded Willa. "I- ah, there he is," she added with the tiniest of smiles as Keith Masters, grin on his face, Net Ball clutched in his hand, strode over to the pool. "A Net Ball?" Willa added, tilting her head. "I wouldn't have figured Noxie to be his entry..."

"It might not be Noxie," said Maribel. "She's not his only Pokémon in a Net Ball."

Willa shook her head. "I somewhat doubt that, sweetie," she said. "Your father only has one other Pokémon that he keeps in a Net Ball, and I highly doubt he'd call upon her for a competition such as this."

Keith, meanwhile, threw the Net Ball into the air. "Alright- let's do this, George!" he exclaimed, as the ball burst open with a flash of light, unleashing its occupant onto the diving board, whereupon she gave a great cry...

"Pyukumukumu!"

"...he's using George?" Willa asked bluntly, staring in disbelief at the Pyukumuku her husband had just sent out. "How, pray tell, is she going to jump?"

Keith, meanwhile, moved his arms, crossed them, so that the Poisonium Z set into his Z-Ring began to react. "Let's start strong!" he declared.

"Muku!" responded George, ejecting a hand-like appendage from her mouth and giving a thumbs-up with it.

"Our minds, our spirits, linked as one!" Keith declared as he moved. "A power as intense as the Plague Swamp of Cascadia! Feel the poison... be the poison!" And as the Z-Power flew up, flowed into George, the Pyukumuku could feel it doing its thing, but not in a way that would be used for offense. The Sea Cucumber Pokémon immediately realized what was to happen here, and so she reiterated the thumbs-up.

"Pyukuu!" George exclaimed.

Keith nodded and grinned. "Power up! Use Z-Purify!!!" he commanded.


Quote:

George boosted its stats using its Z-Power!

George unleashes its full-force Z-Move!

George used Z-Purify!
All eyes were surely on George by this point. Aglow with the fierce aura of Z-Power, George set to work, with a mysterious power known only to Pyukumukukind. The water below was cleansed of any impurities it might have had in it, while George felt refreshed and better than ever. Better even than the normal effects of Purify would leave her, because this wasn't just Purify- this was Z-Purify. George was feeling stronger, faster, more durable, the whole nine. "PYUUUUUUU!" she bellowed.

Keith grinned widely. "Time to carry out the plan!" he declared. "Use Mega Punch to jump!"

"MUKU!" George exclaimed, once again horking up her hand-like appendage, this time in the form of a fist that slammed down on the diving board, sending her flying skyward, flipping around and around as she jumped. And finally, once she'd gotten to where she wanted to, she stopped flipping around, facing straight down at the water below. And thus, she began her descent.

"Here it comes!" Keith grinned. "George, use Liquidation!" he commanded.

"PYUKUUUU... MUKUUUUU!" George bellowed as she descended, hand-like appendage out once more, making a fist that she held out below her, a fist charged with watery energy, a fist that was gonna hit the water and make a very significant impact, a splash composed of sparkling clean water. Certainly a better show than one might expect to see from a Pyukumuku.

Slash- Your Pokemon discuss strategy between them, with your Watchog's Analytical nature providing a meanwhile analysis with the help of Dustox's Compound Eyes. The Watchog then Focuses its Energy and begins to guide your hand in the angles needed to roll the skee balls down the lane. The strategy is sound, but the Watchog being pumped up causes it to misjudge the last throw, causing the last ball to miss. With your turn over, the machine spews out Four Tokens. Collecting them, you notice an additional Two Tokens come out of the machine, meeting you Six Tokens in total.

Blu3- Porygon does the unthinkable and enters the Arcade Machine. Luckily, it seems none of the staff notices this little foray, and you and your Pokemon easily make your way through the game. With basically constant power-ups through the use of Sharpen and Recycle, you and your Pokemon are able to fell Deoxys with ease with a well-timed [B]Psybeams/B]. The game is beaten, Porygon exits the machine and you see Five Tokens clink out, with Two more following up for a total of Seven Tokens for your perfect run.


Jahosafits- You and your Shedinja sit down at the table, ready to take the challenge. The hollow shell begins to eat away at the peppers, its pace slow and steady. You see it Harden up after the second pepper, causing its pace to slow even more. With time is up the glass of milk is left empty and only two and a half peppers eaten through. You're awarded a singular Token for your effort, but get handed another Two for the effort, getting Three Tokens in total.

Missingno. Master- Your and your Pyukumuku begin by using a flashy Z-Move to... Purify the water? The water soon gets enveloped in a white mist and nothing much happens. It then spews out its innards, treating a fist to vault itself into the air with a Mega Punch. It does leave a small crater where it took off though. The sea sponge then surrounds itself in a Liquidation, becoming an aquatic bullet and creates a massive splash. You're handed Four Tokens for your efforts, creating a huge splash but one deducted for your property damage. However, you do get Two More for your nice dance, for a total of Six Tokens.

Token Totals
Slash- 6
blu3 - 7
Jaho - 3

As Keith was handed his tokens, his wife and daughter approached. "I had my doubts about George at first, but I was wrong," Willa stated simply.

"Dad, that was amazing!" grinned Maribel. "George looked awesome! I bet you got as many tokens as they can possibly give for that!"

"Eheh, apparently not," Keith chuckled weakly. "Maximum is seven. I got six. Evidently, they don't look too kindly upon property damage," he stated, gesturing to the small crater his Pyukumuku had left upon takeoff.

"Muku..." George sweatdropped.

"Ah, don't sweat it, George," Keith smiled at the Water-type. "Willa and Maribel are absolutely right- you rocked." And with that, he withdrew the Sea Cucumber Pokémon. "Alright- what next?" he asked his family.

"Terri was saying something about a volleyball match," stated Maribel. "Maybe we could look and see what's going on there?"

"That sounds like a good idea," nodded Willa. "I wonder which of her Pokémon she's going to use there?"

"I could see Laugh possibly going for something like that," Keith speculated. "Or maybe even XXXXX. Heh, I wonder if she'd enter Bear," he added. "That'd be a sight to see..."


BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The sharp, shrill sound of a whistle cut through the air like a knife through very atmospheric butter, and the source of the sound was unmistakably coming from the direction of the human-shaped Pokémon who had marched out onto the court. Indeed, he looked as though he was holding such a whistle to his mouth, and yet, no whistle could be seen.

"ALL RIGHT!" boomed the Psychic/Fairy-type, standing before what were very likely his extremely bewildered new teammates. "AND NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF! I... AM PERFORM! THE WORLD-RENOWNED, LOUD MIME!!!" he declared grandly.

"...You entered Perform?" Willa asked Terri as the Masterses walked over to where their friend was standing on the sidelines.

"Yep," Terri nodded, smiling slightly as she watched, listened to her Normal Form Mr. Mime as he began Coaching the others. "He seemed to really like the idea."

"...where did he get the swim trunks?" Keith asked, having noticed that the Barrier Pokémon was indeed wearing a swimsuit of some sort, with a blue and yellow color scheme that made the onlookers think of Exploud. On the backside of the article of clothing, the words "BORN 2 MIME" were printed in vibrant yellow text.

"I honestly have no idea," Terri shrugged. "For that matter, I don't know how he learned so much about volleyball, but judging by what he's saying to the others, he really must know his stuff. He seems to be talking some serious strategy."

"Wow," murmured Maribel.

"...AND REGARDLESS OF WHICH OF THESE PLANS WE GO THROUGH WITH," Perform was continuing, "THE END GOAL REMAINS THE SAME- TO GET THE BALL TO MOI FOR THE GAME-WINNING SPIKE! WHICHEVER ONE OF YOU SETS ME UP FOR THIS, I WILL JUMP! WITH THE UNERRING SKILL OF A TRUE AERIAL ACE! AND THEN, THE BALL SHALL TASTE A MOST PERFECTLY-ANGLED DOUBLE SLAP! VERY LIKELY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LAND MORE THAN ONE SLAP, BUT! ONE SLAP WILL BE ALL! I! NEED!" he declared, punctuating each of these last three words by making a fist with one hand and punching it into the other. "NOW LET'S SHOW THESE OPPONENTS OF OURS JUST WHO THEY ARE MESSING WITH!!!" he bellowed with an eager grin before getting into position. Perform was certainly ready to go. Whether the same could be said for Vee and Azu remained to be seen, but whenever the initial shock wore off and the match got underway, Terri and the Masterses were in no doubt, they were in for something.

Alolan Hula Dance- Grab a complimentary drink of choice and then dance away with the Alolan Hula! Remember, it’s all about the spirit of Alola and keeping the guest entertained! Surely, some traditional Alolan dance moves will help.
Leo watched Ethan take off his shirt with curious intent, gripping a bottle of sunscreen in his right hand. A nice trip to a newly built resort? Well, that's something he'd take. With managing the restaurant and the gym, he knew he needed the vacation, and with Ethan's recent disappearances, it'd probably be the best for both of them.

The shimmering red tattoos he saw seemed to but forth like wildfire. Cursed flames signify something darker, and a strange red brand on the left calf. He never really got to see Ethan's legs, but he knew that the arm tattoos were new. He never really pried on why he got them, or where, it wasn't really his business. Yet... feeling them as he applied the sunscreen... it felt like scorched skin than ink.

"Ow..." he heard his friend let out, seeing him tightening his jaw in pain.

"Be gentle... Skin's still healing." Leo nodded in response and slowed his pace. After a few more minutes his roommate, and friend, was ready to go out into the sun.

"You sure your pasty ass doesn't need any?" He heard Ethan ask him, the taller man staring at him with those unnatural yellow eyes.

"I'm fine for now... Alolan blood does help with that, will tan a little bit before I get burnt," Leo chuckled in response, setting the sunscreen onto the room's desk.

"Anyways, let's go check this place out, shall we!?" the Alolan man exclaimed, happy to be able to have some fun in the summer sun.

Heading out of their room, the duo, followed by Custard the Togetic and William the Litwick, made their way down the stairs into the resort proper. Leo noticed the Litwick being held tightly, its ethereal flames seeming to not burn Ethan's body. That was odd... And where was Lucas?

"Wait, where's Lucas?" Leo questioned as they entered the main lobby, confused the Raichu wasn't with them.

"Somewhere I'm sure, he bolted off as soon as we arrived," Ethan chuckled, before going to analyze the entire situation. The two just walked around for a bit, sizing up the attractions and grabbing some iced coffee to ponder on what to do.

"There's some hula dancing I'm sure you'd be able to pull off Leo," Ethan jabbed, poking the man's bare stomach. Recoiling a bit, Leo gave him a shy smile as he adjusted his glasses.

"I mean, sure, that'll be fun..." Leo stated before pondering on what to do. Producing a Poke Ball from his back pocket, he sends out a strangely colored Comfey.

"Surprised that well's magic is still lasting," Ethan stated, taking a sip of his coffee.

"I mean, I think it makes Glace unique," the fairy trainer responds with a soft smile. He then heads towards the pool area.


With Glace and Custard in tow, the trio waits for their turn to participate in the hula dance. While he wasn't the best dancer in the world, the traditional fairy-type dance was etched into his very soul. Taking his Fairium-Z, he tosses it to the Togetic and prepares his Z-Ring.

"Come one and all to see the traditional Fairy-typed Alolan Hula!" Leo exclaims, trying to bring in the crowd.

"First, Glace, give us a Helping Hand by adorning the two of us with your beautiful flora leis," he asks his Comfey, who quickly complies. Not a hula without the leis, after all.

"Next, Custard will soothe and lull us into the tale with a Feather Dance!" he orders the Togetic, who starts to disperse pink-laced feathers around them, kicking off the dance.

The duo then dances and weaves through the feathers as they float down, each step channeling their Z-Energy. As soon as they were about to fall, Leo and Custard began to do the Fairy Z-Move dance, turning to the audience with the heart as Custard's Z-Move was unleashed.

"And to finish off this lovely dance, know our love for the moon above and the ocean around! A Z-Charm will showcase the love of dance to all around!" He exclaims, hoping that the delicate, mystical dance of the love for Alola would resonate with the audience.

PJ patted him on the head. "It's okay, Lemon. We still got four!" Speaking of four, four tokens, followed by an addition two, popped out of the machine, to be used for prizes.

There was one other featured game here, Cleffa’s Space Foes, and Lemon and Dustox had seemed to be looking ahead to this earlier, though not as the primary focus. There was more chittering from Lemon, more buzzing from Dustox. Dustox took his position at the VR terminal.

Okay, so the goal here was to destroy energy ships while also avoiding their fire, thought PJ. Dustox's ability to fly would be helpful, and his naturally bobbing style of mothy flight might also prove beneficial. Shoot, avoid, survive, defeat Deoxys. That was simple enough

"All right, Dustox, you have to be the Cleffa. Really feel it." PJ said. 'Use Defog to repel enemy fire, and Signal Beam for your own offense. You'll be in space, so using Moonlight if you're hurt should be very helpful." PJ booted up the machine to start the game.

Lil'twick - With your Comfey draping you and your Togetic in leis, lending you a hand, Togetic then swirled around unleashing a flurry of feathers that danced about the two of you. Together the two of you begin your hula ‘auana, synchronizing your movements and channeling your energy together in a crescendo with your emotions.
Turning to the crowd you unleased the Z-Charm, An unusual but very effective choice. The crowds cheered and applaud your efforts.

You're handed Four Tokens for your inspirational dance and an additional Two for your effort. Six Tokens total, not bad at all

OoC: typing from my phone feels really clunky…


Ary beamed with excitement while he looked around the AzuVee Arcade Summer Resort. People had gone through this much trouble just to set up a seasonal event?

"Everyone's so passionate about living their best life alongside Pokemon... I really, really wish I could do the same! I mean, Mobius and Yra are super fun to be around, but..."

His eyes shifted to the pair of Scyther walking behind him, exchanging death glares with one another. Shingen, his very first Pokemon, remained a violent, antisocial and hyper-competitive creature, while Kenshin, despite being more level-headed, was completely mute and mostly detached from emotional engagement. It hadn't been an easy first month for Ary on his journey, to say the least...

"Oh well. Maybe the summer spirit will cheer 'em up!"

Attempting to break the ice, Ary pointed at a watermelon stand nearby.

"Hey guys, look! That could be fun, right? You just grab a stick and..."

But before he could finish, Shingen had already dashed straight toward the stand, pushing everyone waiting in line out of the way. There was a familiar, dangerous glimmer in his eyes.

“U-uh… Shingen? You’re supposed to wai-“

The mantis hissed, which was something Ary didn’t think they could do to begin with, and stood in front of the poor watermelon with murderous intent. Then, he LEERed at Kenshin, demanding his attention – to which the other, Shiny Scyther simply shook his head.

Equal parts dumbfounded and scared, the clerk placed the blindfold around Shingen’s eyes, trembling all the while; then, as he prepared to hand him the wooden stick, the Scyther “kindly” reminded the man he wouldn’t be needing one, raising one of his bladed arms dangerously close to the poor soul’s neck - rules be damned.

For a moment, silence reigned. Shingen took a deep breath, and Ary realized he was FOCUSing his ENERGY for a single, critical SLASH. He was robbed of sight, but it mattered very little – his other senses now heightened, the Technically-sound mantis lifted his arm – and as he sent it crashing down on the unsuspecting fruit, Ary was sure Shingen intended to cleave not just the watermelon in two, but the whole stand along with it, only to prove a point to his rival.

“Crap, I wonder how much money this is gonna cost me in the end….”

"...Holy smokes, we actually did it."

Elijah's hands fell from the controls as a table of high scores appeared on screen, the initials "AAA" blinking at the top to beckon him to replace them with his own. He didn't even realize just how much he tore through Cleffa's Space Foes until he heard clattering coming from the bottom of the machine. Seven tokens laid in an open chamber right next to where he inserted his money—confusing, since from what he heard they just give you tickets instead. Must be stuck in the past or something, he thought, pocketing the golden prizes that he rightfully... earned?

"Hey, hey, hold on a sec," he said to Epoch as he stood back up, the Porygon having exited the game while he was distracted. "Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure we just kind of broke the rules or something." He wasn't sure about the rules that the arcade had in place, considering that he'd rushed into the door after Epoch, but he wouldn't be surprised if the stunt that they just pulled counted as cheating. He sighed, leaving the cabinet on the name-entry screen. Better to not have his name attached to a possibly illegitimate score, no matter how awesome it would look.

"Whatever, I think we should move on. Pretty sure there's something cool to check out outside." Elijah recalled Epoch and left the arcade, making his way to the back of the resort.

That, and maybe I can chill out on the beach without something stupid happening this time...

"Y'know, I still haven't come up with a name for you. Feels awkward to say 'Fomantis' all the time. I'm sure we can come up with something eventually."

The Crystal Sands Beach was less of a coastline and more of a party venue. Tourists gawked at and waded in the waves that lapped at the bright white sand, wooden shacks were strewn about everywhere, and the sun was especially bright at this time of day—perfect for a Pokémon that needed a lot of time soaking up its rays, like the Fomantis walking by Elijah's side, if his Pokédex was anything to go by.

Along their trek, they passed by a stand manned by a very enthusiastic Trainer. "SPLIT THE WATMEL BERRY", a banner that hung above it proclaimed, a very fitting explanation for the lone Watmel Berry resting on the stand itself. Elijah's Fomantis pointed to it in curiosity.

"Oh, that? I think they're trying to see who can cut that thing clean in half. I'm not quite sure if you can do—"

Elijah didn't even finish his sentence before he saw his Fomantis putting on a blindfold next to the berry. The Trainer offered her the stick but she declined, waving her leaf-arms in front of him.

Well, this was going to be interesting. How was she going to break through something that tough? Elijah watched as she prepped her first move... a Leaf Storm that clearly missed its target. Good effort, but if she didn't even know where the berry was, then it didn't look like she was going to actually be able to pull this off.

"Yeah, okay, I think that's enough—"

Elijah's interjection didn't stop the Fomantis from whipping out another missed Leaf Storm. What in the world was she doing? He'd normally chalk it up to a mistake, but the attack looked a little intentionally aimed away from where it should have been.

Realization dawned on Elijah as his Fomantis slowly made her way to the berry. Her ability, Contrary, reversed every change made to her stats—if she was affected by anything intended to weaken her, then she would only grow stronger instead—and Leaf Storm was a move that knocked down some sort of attacking stat that he hadn't really looked into yet. What this meant was that she was about to try to cut that berry open with three times the force that she normally had.

Elijah couldn't bear to watch. His Fomantis couldn't either (for a completely different reason), readying another Leaf Storm.

MM- Your Mr. Mime, deciding what to do themselves, begins coaching Azu and Vee on how to win the match. With the team all set on what to do, they work together to try and outsmart the opponent. The Mime's Aerial Ace ends up working against them, as the Machamp was able to intercept the first spike, but with a Double Slap the Mr. Mime lands the game-winning spike. A total of Four Tokens is awarded for the good effort, with an additional Two given for Six Tokens total.

Slash- Giving your orders to your Dustox, the Pokemon begins to go through the game. It tries to Defog away the projectiles, but the winds do nothing against the beams fired from the foes. The Signal Beams, though, do manage to take out foes, and a well-timed Moonlight prevents Dustox from losing against Deoxys. ustox did have a somewhat difficult time, however, and you're awarded 3 Tokens for the playthrough, and then an additional 2 for 5 Tokens total.

Saiza- Stepping up to the Watamel Berry splitter, your rival Scythers begin to try and prove who'd split the berry. The non-shiny Scyther asserts its dominance and gets blindfolded. Focusing its Energy, the Scyther Slashes through the Watamel Berry and cleaves through it, and the stand, its Technical prowess not suited for the power of the move. While the cut was clean, the staff look displeased by the broken stand, and lack of proper equipment used, netting you 3 Tokens at first, then an additional 2 for a total of 5 Tokens.

Blu3- Your Fomantis refuses the stick for the Watamel Berry splitting Instead, it begins to fire off Leaf Storm after Leaf Storm. Its Contrary ability ramps up the power of the Leaf Storms and ends up ripping everything to shreds. No precision, just raw power, which was not the point of the challenge at all. The staff looks really disappointed, only giving you 1 Token for the giant mess the Foantis made, but end up giving you an additional 2 Tokens for a total of 3 Tokens.

Slash- 6
blu3 - 10

Reminder only a total combination of three moves and abilities can be used.

While Leo was busy with his Alolan Hula, Ethan went up to the poolside bar. grabbing a Starfberry Daquiri, he scanned the poolside for his Raichu. It was weird for Lucas to be gone for this long, but no matter. He was sure that the electric mouse was having fun wherever he was, and he was more focused on comforting his Litwick.

"You doing well buddy?" Ethan asked the Litwick, who gave him a slight nod.

This felt... familiar like he had done something like his before. Not him, but these memories of this. Some kind of resort in the Sinnoh region, but the details were too hazy. He knew the Litwick remembered them too but was he there as a Litwick, or as a person? Ethan was starting to understand the candle's circumstances, something that the boy whose memories he was remembering didn't.

Taking a sip of his drink, he saw his Raichu heading up to him, full of energy. It seemed Lucas had spotted something he wanted to do and was pointing towards the cannonball area. He knew his Raichu was fun and reckless, and this felt like the perfect chance to show off their skills.

Heading over, he saw Leo finish his dance and start to head over. Panting a little, the light brunette looked proud of himself and jingled the tokens in his hand. It was cute, but Ethan didn't dare say anything. Even if their feelings were mutual, he knew fate would keep the two of them apart. Once his quest was over, he'd cease to exist. But, that didn't matter. He'd conquer the world before that happened.

"How'd I do?" Leo asked Ethan, interrupting the homunculus's thoughts.

"Pretty well man, it's our turn now," Ethan smirked while offering praise.

Letting go of William, the Litwick floated as Ethan prepared his strategy with Lucas. Having a good idea to make a massive splash, he was ready to give a thunderous performance.

"You ready to get wild?" Lucas asked his starter, and the electric type gave a determined nod.

"Alright, use your Agility to build up speed, and then a Floaty Fall to catch everyone's attention while you gain air. Right before you descend, curl up and Volt Tackle into the pool!" Ethan exclaimed, giving the Raichu his orders. The Pokemon was ready and began to ready himself for a dynamic take-off. This should be electrifying.

Perform was a lot of things. Loud, bombastic, over-the-top, some might even go so far as to call him obnoxious. But he was no dummy, and right now, he was proving that he knew his way around a game of volleyball! True, the Aerial Ace didn't exactly have the desired effect, but the Psychic/Fairy-type still delivered the game-winning spike as promised, somehow creating an explosive sound effect as the ball hit the enemy's side of the court. Perform grinned broadly and bowed deeply as Terri got the crowd started in a chant of, "Loud Mime! Loud Mime! Loud Mime!"

"BY THE HORNS OF XERNEAS! THANK YOU, ONE AND ALL!" Perform boomed in response to the cheering. "BUT! KNOW THIS GOOD AND WELL- THIS VICTORY WAS BY NO MEANS MY OWN DOING! WHY, I WOULD BE NOTHING! WITHOUT THE ABSOLUTE MIRACLE THAT IS TEAMWORK! SO! I INSIST THAT YOU ALSO GIVE IT UP FOR VEE AND AZU!!!" And though his exact words weren't clear to most of the humans in the crowd, the Loud Mime's grandiose way of gesturing to the Eevee and Azumarill at the end of his speech left them in little doubt, and so the cheering resumed, this time for the winning team as a whole.

"OK, that was a sight to see," Keith grinned. "...and hear, for that matter," he added with a chuckle."

"Indeed," Willa agreed. "Terri, your Mr. Mime never ceases to amaze."

"Thanks, guys," Terri smiled. "Perform, that was magnificent," she added as her Mr. Mime came proudly strolling up to her. "Take a rest now, OK?" she added, withdrawing the Loud Mime, inexplicable swim trunks and all, back into the Fairy Ball. "Oh- guys, I think the Alolan Hula Dance is gonna start soon!" she added to the Masterses. "Come on, come with me!" And with that, she turned and headed back towards the pool, the slightly bewildered family of Trainers following.


The unspoken question of just why Terri was so eager for her friends to come with her was soon answered, as once they all got there, they could see two familiar faces among the dancing crowd. One of them was Reassure, Terri's Blue Flower Florges. The other, which the Masterses had very reasonably initially mistook for a lei around Reassure's neck, was in fact the Florges's girlfriend, Help the Comfey. Upon spotting her Trainer return, Reassure looked over at her. Terri, in turn, nodded reassuringly, holding up her Z-Power Ring, complete with the usual Psychium Z set into it.

"Oh, this should be good," Maribel murmured excitedly.

Indeed, once the music began, Terri had gotten into position. What better way, after all, to kick off an Alolan Hula Dance than with a kind of Alolan dance that Terri and her Pokémon knew very well indeed? "Reassure, ready!" Terri declared, moving her arms.

"Floooor!" sang the Florges, copying Terri's movements, all while keeping a good rhythm going, moving with the music.

"Find your strength and yield to nobody!" Terri declared as she moved. "Make our minds join! Increase our power and direct it to our enemies!"

"Geeeeees..." Reassure hummed, brimming with Z-Power as she moved.

Terri grinned widely. "Now perform- Z-Calm Mind!!!" she commanded.


Quote:

Reassure returned its decreased stats to normal using its Z-Power!

Reassure unleashes its full-force Z-Move!

Reassure used Z-Calm Mind!
Now, of course, Reassure had no lowered stats of which to speak. So, one might wonder, why the Z-Move? Simple- to incorporate all the more Alolan dance technique into this. The Calm Mind itself was also important- Reassure wasn't exactly feeling the most confident about this, and thus this first move was to help clear her mind of any such doubt, and ensure she was as ready as she could be.

But it didn't end there- more support came from the Florges's girlfriend. The Comfey who had draped herself so lovingly around the neck of her fellow Fairy-type was offering a much-appreciated Helping Hand to the Florges. Between this and the Z-Calm Mind, Reassure was, well, reassured. She could fucking do this.

And do it she did! With grace, elegance, style, moving beautifully with the music, tuing out , the Florges went into a gorgeous Petal Dance. A long-lasting display of dancing prowess. And, or so they had theorized beforehand, as long as there was more emphasis on the graceful movement, and not so much on the brute force offensive element of the move, that might possibly cancel out, or at least lessen, the self-inflicted confusion at the end? Maybe? They hoped? Well... only time would tell. And right now, Reassure couldn't exactly worry about that anyway. Like, literally. It'd be pretty counterintuitive to what the other moves were meant to do for her.

And so, the Florges danced.

With all of the chaos happening in Fizzytopia over the past year, especially with the encroaching threat of Shadow Arceus, the New Fizz Entertainment Co. has decided that the populace has needed a much-needed respite. And nothing is more of a respite than a summer vacation at the beach! Emerald ocean, blue skies, and the sandy beach... Nothing could be more fun than a day in the sun. Of course, not everyone is so inclined to spend a day at the beach. So, a brand new resort paradise has been built on the western coast of Fizzytopia!

And this, the AzuVee Arcade Summer Resort was born. Overlooking a pristine patch of the Fizzific, this resort was designed with all ages in mind. With 10 impressive stories, all filled with luxury rooms and highly trained staff, this is the ultimate experience for both trainers and families to enjoy their summer vacation. And to celebrate the grand opening, a special event is being held with all sorts of prizes!

Multiple facilities have been constructed in order to allow participating trainers to get AzuVee Arcade Tokens! As they accumulate tokens, they’ll be able to spend them on a specially curated prize shop featuring some brand new items, as well as harder-to-get commodities! How the resort has managed to procure all of this? Who knows! But that’s not what is important here. What’s important here is enjoying your time here and having as much fun as possible! And with that out of the way, let’s display the various activities!

Crystal Sands Beach[Please Respond in SeaShell]-
Brilliant white sand bordering the beautiful Fizzific. If you’re here to swim in the waves, bask in the sun, or partake in some activities there is something for everyone!

Watamel Berry Splitting-
Don a white blindfold and a smooth wooden stick, and try to cleanly cut the Watamel Berry in half! This is all about focus and precision, with one misstep causing you to be splattered with berry!


Rules:
Trainers may earn up to 5 Tokens per attraction, depending on their Pokemon’s performance.
Trailers will also earn an additional 2 Tokens per attraction for role playing! Word count minimum of 150 applies. A possible 70 Tokens can be earned.
Event posts must include minimum use of one move, and can include any combo of moves or abilities up to 3 times.
The event will run until August 31st, 2021 at 11:59 PM GMT.
Prize Claim will end on September 14th, 2021 at 11:59 PM GMT.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Just when Jake Celeste was feeling stuck between a Roggenrola and a hard Plate, what with the temperature being much too warm and the sun shining much too hot for a long wild adventure, and with staying at his Secret Base to train becoming a bit boring, he received news of a new resort springing up on the west coast of Fizzytopia: the AzuVee Arcade Summer Resort. The seasonal event wouldn’t last, Jake thought, so he set off for vacation on the back of his Staraptor as soon as he could.

After a somewhat awkward landing in the sea off the coast of the resort, Jake surfed the rest of the way to his destination. The first area that caught his eye was the Crystal Sands Beach, which was just as well, considering he had washed up right onto it.

The Trainer walked up to the line to the Watmel Berry Splitting game, a mole-like burr-clawed Pokémon strolling beside him. “Are you ready for this, Drilbur?” Jake asked his Pokémon. “You’ll be blindfolded and given a wooden stick. We’ll need accuracy, precision, and power here, and I know just the way to utilize these qualities. I’ll guide you when we get to it.”

“Drill, drill!” Drilbur nodded, clicking her large claws together in preparation.

“Heh,” Jake chuckled. “With those claws of yours, we might not even need the stick after all!”

The Mole Pokémon shrugged, and the two continued to wait patiently until their turn came.

~~~

Jake put away his Pokédex, nodding confidently. “We’ve got this, it’s the best we have here,” he murmured to himself.

“Next!”

The Aura Guardian looked up to see no other Trainer-Pokémon pair in front of him. “Oh, it’s our turn now, is it?” he asked the staff member who was present.

The other Trainer gave a thumbs-up. “Step on up,” they instructed, holding out a blindfold.

Once Drilbur was situated, with the blindfold tied tightly around her head and eyes and a wooden stick in “hand”, Jake cleared his throat. “Alright, Drilbur, remember what I told you. Let’s make sure you can actually hit the Watmel Berry here, however powerfully. Start to Hone your Claws, first things first,” he instructed. “And after that, another Hone Claws. Don’t stop honing until you’ve got a good sense of your target! When you’re comfortable taking a swing at the Watmel Berry, grasp that stick, and with the assistance of your sharpened claws, make a clean Slash down the middle of the Berry. I know you’ll be able to chop it clean through!” the Trainer encouraged. (Not to mention, as a move that can more easily land critical hits, the move Slash would work well to puncture the Watmel Berry.)

The blindfolded Ground-type nodded, keeping her Trainer’s words in mind as she proceeded to sharpen up for the task at hand.

After that display with the watermelon, Ary realized he was getting rather hungry. And if he knew his team, he was sure he wasn’t the only one. Mobius in particular was especially ravenous, his appetite matching the speed at which it grew stronger by the day.

“I think we should probably take a break and grab a bite to eat! Hey, look over there, that seems to be a restaurant of sorts!”

Ary hastened his step, Mobius perched atop his head, Yra on his shoulder, and the two antagonistic Scyther effortlessly trailing behind. As they drew closer, Ary realized there, too, was an ongoing competition.

“Huh. Eat ten Merciless Peppers? Ha, I doubt even you could stomach that Mobius! Really, other than Munchlax himself, I doubt any other Poke… wait a minute!”

He’d just had an idea, and he hadn’t been the only one. Realizing immediately where he was getting at, Yra jumped off his shoulder and slithered his way over to the competition’s host. In a matter of seconds, Ary’s Ditto TRANSFORMed into a perfect copy of Munchlax, prodigious stomach included.

Munchlax, the Big Eater Pokemon. Anything that looks edible, Munchlax will go on and swallow whole. Its stomach is tough enough to handle it even if the food has gone rotten.

Ary’s PokeDex confirmed his plan. Even if it hadn’t, none of his other three companions could even hope to withstand one pepper, let alone ten of them! But with Yra’s prodigious talent, and the copied Munchlax’s prodigious stomach, they might just nab a couple of extra vouchers!

“Okay Yra, let’s make our host proud! If you feel you can use it, go ahead and STOCKPILE as many peppers as you can, then SWALLOW them in one go! Otherwise go at it one at a time, your new stomach can probably handle a nifty amount!”

Centuries of research had gone into compiling the PokeDex database. If he couldn’t trust science, what could he trust?

Lil'twick - Now it was your turn at some fun and you decided to go all out with an electrifying combo, first building up momentum with agility then leaping up into the air, suspended for a short period of time, before diving at a sharp angle aiming for the pool surrounding itself with electricity. As the Raichu dives into the pool, it makes a splash.

While Raichu did build up momentum at the start, it seemingly lost some of that momentum while suspended in the air before gaining a little bit of it back. Overall it was a moderate splash and was certainly flashy, but could have used a bit more oomph. You were handed Three Tokens for your attempt, an additional Two for effort, and a slight warning to be careful when mixing electricity and water as the staffing check to make sure there wasn't any remaining electrical current.

Five tokens overall.

Hazel Family Vacation: Darik's Story

Shortly after the three family members had split up to have their own types of fun, Darik had found the Pool and Bar. He'd sent out the Pokemon he'd had on hand, letting them enjoy the nice atmosphere there. He spend some time at the bar, just taking the opportunity to relax. It felt a bit weird to him, wearing something so similar to his old outfit, yet also different. He had the surprisingly light and form-fitting blue and white striped shirt on, as well as the long shorts whose material was unexpectedly water-friendly despite their appearance. The black boots and gloves were pretty light and hydrodynamic, and the bandanna on his head doubled as a swim cap. It felt odd to have that kind of bandanna without the stylised "A" on it, but it was probably better for everyone involved that he didn't have it.

As he sat drinking, he observed that there were two events nearby that were being competed in. His Dewott and Bellossom were looking at a dance competition nearby, having some fun doing some friendly practice dancing together. His Pignite was very interested in the other one, the Cannonball Challenge. His two Mightyena were content to just sit by Darik's side, and his young Weedle was curled up on his lap as he drank. However, it seemed his Pokemon would need to rely on him to actually be entered into the competitions they were eyeing. The Bellossom and Dewott seemed to be happy enough at the moment just messing around, so his Pignite was probably most in need of his assistance.

Darik scooped his hand under his Weedle, trying not to ruin his comfort or jingle the small bell tied around his neck. He lightly raised the Weedle to his shoulder, letting him perch comfortably there and leaving Darik free to walk around. "Come, Ravyn and Falcyn." he ordered his two Mightyena, getting up. Being careful not to make it a shaky ride for Weedle, he walked, dogs in tow, over to Gilford the Pignite, over by the pool. He knelt down to him, and rubbed his head. "You want to enter, boy?" he asked,

"Pignite! Pig!" Gilford responded in the affirmative.

"All right. Give me a moment to form a strategy, then." He turned to the pool to consider the pool and the competition. It looked like not just the size of the splash, but also the style in how it was done, was being rated. Luckily, Darik did have a few ideas in his head for what he wanted to do.

He turned back to his Pignite. "All right, Gilford. So make the jump, and I want you to use a Defense Curl when you hit the peak of it." The curlwould be vital for a good splash, especially with the Pignite's Thick Fat. "Then, staying curled up, I want you to use your Heat Crash straight down at the pool". That should give more force downward to improve the splash, and draw eyes to him. The heat should also create a steam that would hide the large splash from onlookers so they couldn't see the splash's size until it washed over them.

"An arcade, huh? Been a while since I've seen one of these."

Upon arriving at the vacation resort for a much needed break from all the bedlam in Fizzytopia, Jess's team split up in search of activities to do or just to catch up on some deserved R & R, promising to meet back at the hotel room later. Not much one for the water nor feeling particularly hungry at the moment, Jess gravitated first towards the highly advertised games center along with a few of her companions. Her eyes lit up when she saw an old favorite standard: A set of Skee Ball stations standing proud in row at the side of the room.

"Ooh look, Zoom, I bet you'll like this."

She spoke to the Alolan Sandshrew shyly hiding behind her, who had also tagged along to avoid both the heat and crowded beachgoers (neither of which she was too fond of either, though unlike a certain sun-avoidant Sneasel who chose to remain lazing in the luxurious suite instead she still desired some company). The Ice Type watched with wide eyes as her trainer rolled the ball swiftly down the ramp - skills a bit rusty as it bounced off the rim at the top and sank into one of the lower holes instead - but the striking resemblance to snowballs leaping off a ski jump was satisfactory enough to win the winter lover over, as she eagerly started trying to slide the smooth white spheres around as well with squeaks of delight.

Meanwhile, another solitary eye was silently observing the proceedings, having trailed along obediently after her Master - who was currently nosing at a trendy crane game, pressing his snout up to the glass to stare panting at the tantalizing pile of plushies.

"I see. So this facility functions as a hub for different forms of your species' entertainment in this era. Understood. I shall update my memory banks with this information."

As the Honedge hovered over to the prize counter, surveying the various price listings, she hummed again in acknowledgment.

"Based on the statistical data I've gathered, the exchange rate is significantly extortionate given the low odds of success compared to average token gain. I suggest seeking alternate methods of recompense for the most cost-effective results."

Link whined in disappointment as he pawed insistently at the claw machine, the stubborn Mightyena standing his ground as Jess merely smiled and chuckled.

"Yeah, these places always overcharge you to play a bunch of rigged games for petty trinkets. Still, it's fun to just participate. Want to give it a whirl?"

The girl offered an orb out to Fi, which the floating sword studied intently for a moment before glancing at Link, who barked and wagged his tail encouragingly in approval.

"...Very well then, if my Master insists."

She wrapped the spheroid in scarf, carefully analyzing the angle of the slope down to the exact degree, factoring it into acceleration of velocity and height trajectory whilst weighing against potential point values to achieve a maximum high score. Lining up the direction of her shot with LASER FOCUS, Fi flicked her tassel to spin the GYRO BALL at specific speed in a graceful AERIAL ACE arc towards the target, aiming with such pinpoint precision and accuracy as her audience watched in awe...

Deciding to have a little time swimming Bob and Bobington head over to the swim area where a diving competition was being advertised. They decide to enter this activity after observing for some time the moves and effectiveness of several other teams and noting various moves. Most notably some rather effective pokemon using dive* efficiently. After a fair amount of time and understandable self-doubt Bobert finally comes up with a plan and expresses it to Bobington; who is at this point rating to go after a bit of pep talk Bobington. They take their starting positions at the platform and when all is ready Bobington uses Copycat* for that Dive* and quick attack* to get as many baubles as possible repeating the efforts until the time was up leaving Sir Bobington wet and exhausted where Bobert picks him up with a towel in hand to comfort, congratulate and dry his furry friend.

The staff looks really disappointed, only giving you 1 Token for the giant mess the Foantis made, but end up giving you an additional 2 Tokens for a total of 3 Tokens.

blu3 - 10
Elijah didn't need to look up to know just how much damage his Fomantis' hubris had caused; as soon as he felt the entire right side of his body get splattered, it was really obvious. The fact that everything within ten feet of the stand was stained red, the collective sighing and disappointed grimaces of the staff running the challenge, and the Watmel chunks everywhere only stood to confirm it. Whatever kind of Leaf Storm trick that she pulled was executed with the form and finesse of someone tumbling down the stairs directly into a shelf of neatly organized rows of fine china and glassware.

In other words, it was a catastrophic failure, and nobody was happy about it—especially Elijah, who was now spending his relaxing getaway trying to keep his team in order.

"Okay, you're going back in the ball while I clean up this mess," Elijah groaned in frustration, reaching for the Fomantis' Poké Ball. He clicked the button on the front, and... nothing happened. Twice... still nothing. Three times... it was becoming pretty apparent that she was outright refusing to be recalled, which made Elijah's intentions to keep himself out of any more trouble that much harder.

"Y'know, you can be a total thorn in my side sometimes."


---

It's common knowledge that a good shower does wonders for the troubled man, but Elijah couldn't really vouch for it until that afternoon. All the pent-up frustration from the day's events seemed to wash away with the light red berry juice that had dotted his skin just a few minutes ago. It also gave him some time to reflect on what happened earlier; now that he was thinking about it, wasn't he the one at fault here? His Fomantis was probably just trying to prove herself. Throwing on a change of clothes, he walked into the hotel room to talk to her.

"Uh, hey, sorry about freaking out at you earlier," Elijah apologized. "You were totally trying your best." The Fomantis nodded in understanding. "Even if you're a 'thorn in my side,' you're the coolest thorn in my side that I've met." Wait, that gave him an idea...

"...Hey, how does the name 'Thorn' sound?"

Thorn gave Elijah the closest thing to a thumbs-up that she could.

Elijah, Epoch, and Thorn: it kind of had a nice ring to it? Not that the latter two seemed to care; Epoch was staring off into the distance where the waves met the sky, and Thorn was taking in the sights of the pool area that she'd only passed through yesterday. He'd probably run it by his friends later. He came here to relax, especially after the chaos of a few hours earlier. Speaking of which, Epoch was eyeing the sand and surf of the beach...

"Uh, there's no way that we're going to the beach right now," Elijah warned, stopping the Porygon before they started moving. "We don't really want to have another incident." He shot a glance at the red-stained Watmel berry stand and the visibly stressed workers surrounding it. "Let's stick to the pool instead." Elijah was already walking towards a chair when Thorn walked in the other direction... huh? Apparently the bar was holding a dancing contest, and a certain Fomantis wanted to test her mettle. She seemed to convince Epoch to try it out too, judging by the way that they were floating next to here.

Dancing? No way! All they really knew how to do was attack things. They'd probably knock down Skyarrow Bridge before they'd even strut their stuff... but then again, the last time he thought otherwise, it literally exploded in front of him. It was probably for the best to let them have their fun.

"Y'know what, go nuts. I'm sure that you can figure something out." Elijah called, settling down in a chair next to the bar. The Pokémon duo took center "stage" and began their very impromptu routine.

Epoch started off by... drawing a weird symbol on the ground? It seemed to fade away after a few moments, causing Elijah to doubt that they had even done anything at all, but his Pokédex helped explain that they'd used a move called Guardian Terrain... interesting. He wasn't sure what that would do, but he watched on in curiosity nevertheless.

A whirlwind of leaves floated around Thorn in what looked like another Leaf Storm, which thankfully was not targeting anything this time and instead lingered for a while as she spun in circles in the same direction as the vortex of foliage. Epoch darted around her in several impossibly straight lines, probably the closest thing that they could do to dancing. They continued like this for a few minutes until they slowed and stared at Elijah.

"Hey, wait, I can't do this, I've got two left feet," he responded. He didn't exactly dance for a living, and it didn't help that he'd never even been to a party. In fact, his own team knew way more moves than he ever could—

The next thing he knew, Epoch had taken his Pokédex... somehow and returned to the stage. Responding with a "hey, give that back," Elijah chased after Epoch yet again as Thorn resumed dancing. The Porygon seemed to dart in a million directions, leaving Elijah to jump and spin around in confusion. Eventually, he got his Pokédex back, right after the music faded into silence. Epoch stared at him with what looked like a wink while Thorn clapped... for him? Wait, what did he do? As far as he was aware, he was moving around like an idiot the entire time—oh.

"I'm not doing that again," Elijah said with a tone that landed squarely in the middle of the range between frustration and awe. "Also, tell nobody I did this."

MM- You start off with the signature Alolan Psychic-style dance of a Z-Move, using a Z-Calm Mind. Though, the flow of the dance is interrupted by Comfey's Helping Hand, causing Florges to stop dancing to allow the Pokemon on. Florges then dances a feisty and aggressive Petal Dance, causing a disconnect from the peaceful start of Z-Move, only netting you 3 Tokens. At least the idea was there and conveyed, even if not done well executed. You then get an additional 2 Tokens, for 5 Tokens Total.

Zorchic- Taking stick in hand, Drilbur begins by honing its claws to raise its power and accuracy. And then continues honing them, getting them to the point where they're so sharp they start to slice the stick. Within that short window, before the stick falls apart, Drillbur slashes down onto the berry with blinding speed, cleaning cutting it in two before the stick falls apart. While beautifully clean-cut, the destroyed tool only nets you 4 Tokens. You are, however, given an extra 2 Tokens for a total of 6.

Saiza- Your Ditto transforms into the idle Munchlax, ready to start the contest. Stockpiling the entire plate into its maw, the Ditto swallows all ten peppers whole. The crew stares at the Pokemon in disbelief, a mixture of shock and awe. The area is silent for a few minutes until the heat of the peppers begins to burn Ditto's stomach. Luckily, with the transform, the Pokemon is able to handle it just fine, clearing the contest with ease. The Ditto then transforms back and starts to feel all of the pain of the peppers. No matter, you get 5 Tokens for the effort and 2 more for 7 Total.

Slash- Your Pignite steps up to the pool and jumps up, going into a defensive curl to bolster the incoming splash. With its bulkier frame of its thick fat, it goes in rolling hard with a Heat Crash. The Pokemon sams hard into the water, creating a glorious, majestic splash while keeping its momentum. Impressed by the performance, you are handed 5 Tokens, within an additional 2 for 7 Total.

Yuki- Grabbing the Skee Balls, your Honedge uses its Laser Focus to stare down the tracks, and begins to use its Gryo Ball to build up momentum before using Aerial Ace to throw the balls down with blinding speed and accuracy. Each swerve done with perfect precision, the Honedge easily clears through the game and earns 5 Tokens, with an additional 2 for 7 Total.

Jaho- Being placed into the Reef by the Peliper, your Umbreon Copycats the move to get further down to try and get the deeper treasures. Using Quick Attack to help out with swimming and grabbing treasures, your Umbreon manages to collect a decent amount of treasures for the judges before having to go back up for air. Judging the haul, you receive 3 Tokens, then 2 more for a total of 5.

Blu3- Going to the hula contest, your newly named Fomantis creates a guardian terrain across the ground. While similar to grassy terrain, there are a few key differences. It then surrounds itself in a Leaf Storm, and you get dragged into an impromptu dance with it. The crowd claps, enjoying the somewhat average performance. You gain 3 tokens, with an additional 2, for 5 total for your efforts.

Token Totals
Slash- 13
blu3 - 15
Jaho - 8
MM - 5
Saiza- 12
Zorchic- 6
Yuki- 7

After changing into some swimwear he heads his way over to the dock and notices a stand with rentable cameras and a photo competition as well. Excitedly he rents one out and boards his small vessel. Timber in the back helping Bob row the boat, Bobington up front looking out to the sea, and Noka and Shinobi floating around and having a grand old time. With the sun Up high he gathers his friends and takes a group picture and they chill out for a bit singing songs and enjoying each other's company until the sun begins to set. At this time Bob remembers the competition and arranges a photo the best he can.
He gets Noka to use Einherjar* to provide a bit more lighting from the back, Shinobi to use Double Team* to pose, mirroring itself on either side of the camera's field of view, and Bobington to use Charm* while Staring out towards the sunset. With bated breath, he snaps a few pictures and hopes they turned out well. Before rowing back to the docks as quickly and safely as possible.

In another area of the arcade, some of the newest members of Jess's team were exploring as well. Mitsuki the Teddiursa happily joined Momo the Pichu at a karaoke booth, while Rose the Cleffa was attracted by the nostalgic beeps and boops of a retro game system, revamped for more modern audiences. Boosting herself up with a surprisingly high bounce, the Cleffa descended gracefully on the console and excited upon discovering a pixelated protagonist resembling herself on the monitor. Reveling in such coincidence, Rose eagerly planted a kiss on the display for good luck and pressed start to play - although soon found herself overwhelmed by the endless onslaught of numerous enemies soaring across the screen; then as later levels progressed their strategies advanced to the point where they could easily sneak up on her ship through the "fog of war" obscuring most of her view, employing a "hit and run" retreat tactic before she could even launch a counterattack.

Nearby, Waffle the Rotom seemed to notice her struggling. He had brought his own kids to keep an eye on while their mom took some relaxing "spa time" to herself, but seeing them occupied with a fierce DDR competition (where the slower wax siblings simply took turns pressing their own assigned buttons when prompted, with Mimi able to handle two at once thanks to her long-reaching shadow limbs), he figured he could spare a few moments to lend a HELPING HAND. Stealthily slipping out of his toaster host, the POLTERGEIST possessed the space shooter instead, intending not to "cheat" but rather only "even the playing field" by using DEFOG to clear the battlefield of blind spots. The rest was up to Rose herself, as he didn't wish to rob her pride of any sense of accomplishment altogether, but simply allowing a window to earn her own victory.
