farawayplace | [MINI EVENT] ☆T A N A B A T A☆

Those from the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh will be very familiar with the sight of bamboo stalks that are left outside decorated with colorful and sparkly paper decorations. There are people gathering around, helping one another put up paper amulet of varying colors to tie around the bamboo branches. On each amulet is a single wish that’s been handwritten by someone.

One can only hope that their wish will be heard…

At night, there’s a surprise to be found: an alternate colored Jirachi is out dressed in what’s clearly a handmade costume. Around its neck, is a colorful paper chain made of sparkly origami paper.

Not only has Jirachi come to grant wishes, Miniors are out and about bright and colorful. They’ll be dancing around seemingly trying to invite people to come join them in the festivities.

((OOC: Happy Tanabata! In the morning is a general mingle post. But as the evening sets in and Jirachi appears, it will start granting the wish written on your amulet whether big or small -- wealth, a long life, or maybe a way to return home. You're free to catch Miniors too, and there's a slightly better chance of encountering a shiny one as well. Just be careful of the ones still in their shell or you might just get a rather explosive surprise...

This event can take place at any town, so feel free to specify a location!))

They're a lot more energetic than the ones I've met in Alola.

[Ash and Pikachu walk up to them with a smile.]

These little guys are called Minior! These Pokemon all came from space and eat up dirt from there.

Hey, Ash.

[X will turn over to Ash, as he nodded his head in greeting. Coiffe too will happily greet both trainer and Pokemon with a quack.]

Minior...a Pokemon from space, got it.

[The wild Miniors unsurprisingly will also gather over to Ash happily twirling. They all seem so happy, that X found himself smiling still.]

I wonder if they all drifted in like we have...or came in from space.

[Ash is surprised to see the Miniors approach him at first, but then puts on a soft smile as he reaches out and opens his hand for the Meteor Pokemon to land on.]

Beats me. But... I can only hope they're enjoying their time here in Ultern before they leave soon.

[He remembered Kukui's words, and figured he could at least give them a good time until then.]

[The Minior with a smile on its face will happily land on Ash's hand. Yay, friend!!!

The one that approached X too will happily twirl. Coiffe upon seeing it will do a twirl in an attempt to imitate the Minior. X reached out to place a gentle hand upon the Minior.]

Don't stay out too long, if you're able to return home soon Minior. I'm sure you have friends out there waiting for you.

[He spoke quietly, as he thought of his own friends. He had no idea the happy Pokemon in front of them really were enjoying their last moments out in Ultern.]

[There's a quiet pause from Ash after listening to X, which is rather unusual for him. While he's an honest kid, there's a certain truth about Miniors that he's finding it hard to say it outright to his friend. But he shakes off the heavy feeling, not wanting either the Miniors or X to worry and forces a smile at his new friend.]

...Yeah! What X said!

[Pikachu watches Coiffe and does his own twirl too, though after a few spins he starts to feel dizzy and stops instead.]

[The pause doesn't go unnoticed, but X wasn't about to press it. Not when Ash seemed to not want to bring up whatever it is, that's on his mind. Instead, he'll take a chance to glance at his Pokedex that he finally managed to ask for an upgrade, to take a peek at Minior's Pokedex entry which read: "Places where Minior fall from the night sky are few and far between, with Alola being one of the precious few."]

You don't drop by just anywhere, do you?

[He'll turn to the Minior. It of course doesn't seem to understand X's words as it happily twirled and floated over to both Coiffe and Pikachu to greet them.

The Minior in Ash's hand will also make a happy trill of a sound before gently bumping up to Ash's cheek.]

[Ash lets out a laugh before pressing the Pokemon a bit closer to his cheek. This little guy seems to be the world's most friendliest Minior as far as Ash could tell.]

There's one spot in Alola where they usually land -- there's a big hill near the Hokulani Observatory and you'll find plenty of them at night. Watching them fall down from the sky, then float back up again... it's really pretty!

That sounds nice.

[X replied while watching the other Miniors happily floating, and dancing.]

I guess they wouldn't stand out like this if they have fallen during the day...

[The Minior near Ash let out another trill, chime like sound as it pulled away and began to jiggle in front of Ash and X. It was as if the Minior was inviting them to follow along. Taking note, X pocketed his Pokedex away before glancing over to the other Minior who seemed content interacting with both Coiffe and Pikachu still.]

Looks like they really want to play with us.

[Seeing Minior motioning them to come, he nods. Willing to humor the Pokemon's whims.]

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get going!

[Can't waste any more time when they'll need it to keep it happy until the end. And so, he lets Minior lead the way as he follows behind.]

[X didn't mind joining. The pokemon here were generallh friendly, amd it seemed both Coiffe and Pikachu were having a good time. Following behind both Minior and Ash he saw the sight outstretched before them. The entire place being lit by the Minior's lights as they danced.]

I should have brought a camera with me. I hope Alice and the others are seeing this.

[He'll comment while looking between the happy Miniors, still oblivious to their fates.]
