Enter: Ultern's Pokemon Professor!
EARLY MORNING - THE BANYAN RESIDENCE
[There's a welcoming scent of coffee wafting through the air. It seems to be coming from the lone home in the middle of the route as the windows are left open. The sun was only starting to rise, painting the surrounding scenery with reds and oranges, as the waves create a gentle splashing sound.
The person within the home seemed to not be big on security, as the front door at the front deck of the home was propped wide open with a rocking chair. Unsurprisingly there's a Pokemon perched on top of it--a yellow skinned Chikorita that could be easily mistaken for a shiny one, if it weren't for the fact its leaf was green. Perhaps it was there to soak up the light from the rising sun.
Not soon after, a man--barefoot, and not quite yet dressed for the day will step out onto the deck with a mug of coffee in hand.]
Ah, another wonderful morning. Don't ya think, Chikorita?
[The professor grinned wide while taking in the seaside view.]
MORNING - OUT IN THE YARD
[You know what's the best thing to do in the mornings? GARDENING!
The Pokemon Professor of this region--Professor Banyan is seen with his signature sunglasses, and straw hat already on along with a pair of gardening gloves. His iconic white lab coat is nowhere to be seen on his person so it wouldn't be a surprise if anyone mistook him as some ordinary gardener.
He's watering the flowers, and other plants in the yard (that wasn't fenced off) before turning his attention to the grass type Pokemon who congregated around him. He has a Sprinklotad in hand as he smiled wide.]
Now don't push! I've got plenty of water for everyone!
AFTERNOON - SEASIDE TRAIL
[Professor Banyan, the Pokemon Professor of this region will be out and about on the beach. He could be find doing the following:
►Sitting on the beach, seemingly relaxing. Who wouldn't want to take a moment to kick back and soak up the sun when the weather is nice and sunny? For whatever reason there's a Staryu that's laying right next to him, no doubt also sunbathing.
►Taking notes of the surrounding Pokemon! He has a notepad in hand, with his gaze set on a pair of Tentacool happily swaying along with the waves, to a nearby Sandygast that sat on the sand where a curious little Pikachu with brown paws, and a light colored belly sniffed at it.
In fact he might even approach any nearby Trainer who had their Pokemon out of their Pokeball with his eyes lighting up with intrigue and interest despite being hidden behind his sunglasses.
►Out training or really, playing with his Pokemon as Professor Banyan, still out on the sandy beach is now seen with a trio of Pokemon - a yellow skinned Chikorita, the brown pawed, light colored belly Pikachu, and Staryu. There’s a confident smirk on his face.]
Alright, are you three ready?
[He’s holding what’s clearly a sparkly ball in his hand.]
The one to get this the fastest wins! Here goes!
[He’ll be seen winding up his left arm before throwing the ball as far as he could across the beach. In an instant Pikachu and Chikorita dashed through the sand leaving Banyan alone with Staryu. Noticing this, he chuckled before kneeling next to Staryu to place a hand upon it.]
They’re getting faster, aren’t they?

"It is pretty good, ain't it?" Banyan grinned. "Don't ya worry 'bout a thing! It won't be hard when we're making it together." He nodded to himself. After all it was a bit like making a soup or stew in a sense and if all else failed there was curry made with a box of rue which was beginner friendly.
Nodding, Banyan turned to Gold.
"Yasa, I ain't sure what it's like outside of Ultern but... the one here is called the Harvesting Bonds Festival. Originally it used to be celebrating the bounty we all got from that year's harvest but nowadays we all put on costumes and have a party together."
He then considered Gold's question, comparing it to the Summer Festival.
"Hmm, it's a lil' different. The other one's just people trying to enjoy the summer with fireworks and everything. The Harvest Festival's more focused on the costumes and food."
no subject
"Really? Okay, then let's do it!" Gold says. Making curry together... Gold's never thought of cooking as something fun before, but this is starting to sounds like it could be.
"A party all about food? And costumes?" Gold adds the costumes part as a bit of an afterthought, not sure what to think of that yet, but he does like food. He tries to imagine it, but all he can come up with is something like the summer festival, but with mountains of food on tables, and people wearing masks and yukatas. "Ummm... It sounds fun! So, if we can make food for it, does that mean it's like, a festival where everyone brings food to share with others or something?" He's having a hard time wrapping his head around it all, but it sounds like free food to him.
Umbar, meanwhile, is a bit distracted from the conversation, glancing at his teammates. "Ah, yes, that sounds like the festivals I used to attend... I'm afraid I must excuse myself from this conversation now, however. I have to go bury someone." He smiles at Banyan, phrasing it ominously on purpose, then heads over to help the others cover Carn, and is welcomed with happy cheers.
no subject
He's giving a nod to Umbar who seemed a touch distracted with what was going on with the rest of the Pokemon. Banyan didn't mind as he was sure the Pokemon all had something they wanted to do on their own. Even if Umbar's wording did give him a bit of a pause. As he glanced over to his Pikachu, he lifted his head up to go hop on off Banyan's shoulders to join the others. He wanted to see what the others were up to anyway! It looked like fun!
Chuckling softly, Banyan turned his attention back to Gold nodding his head.
"That's right. Some folks even put up some seasonal decorations too--like pumpkins and the like." He added. "The costumes were said to help everyone feel welcomed into Ultern. Both People and Pokemon alike." He grinned. "'Course I already got myself a costume ready."
...never mind that he's been using the same costume for years! It was just convenient that way.
no subject
he is the sand guardian, guardian of the sand, lugia quivers before himEveryone cheers over their accomplishment, and Carn relaxes in the cool sand."That sounds like fun... I wanna decorate too!" Gold's excited about all this. He doesn't know anything about costumes, but he does know Calem, an expert at making clothes. "What kinda costume do you have? Can I see it?" he asks. He figures he'd better get some kind of reference for what kinds of costumes people usually wear before asking Calem about it.
no subject
Staryu? Staryu does what Staryu does best, the whole time: vibe on the sand.
"Do ya? Then of course you can help out! People do a lot of the decorating in Gilterrace Town. It's 'cause it's a farming town y'see." He began to explain, wanting to give Gold as much detail as he could. At Gold's next question, Banyan preened. "Dunno, my costume's pretty great..."
He said in full confidence despite his costume being an extremely silly full body costume.
no subject
Gold's nodding along, interested. He's never helped out at a festival before. "I wanna see it! I wanna get a great costume too!"
Though when he does see it, he'll be disappointed...
no subject
"In that case come on in! I'll give ya a tour around the place while we're at it." He gestured to the front door before opening up the door to welcome Gold officially into his home.
And then Gold finds out what a silly man Banyan is deep down ready to dance around as Lil Yago.
