In midst of a Summer Festival, yet again!

In the coastal city of Turnbloom yet again, the sun is bright and warm--but of course it's not the only place. All over Ultern everyone is enjoying the summer weather. Little by little, Ulternians and long-time Drifters alike have started to put out summer decorations throughout the start of August, which replaced the ones from Tanabata (if any had been left out to begin with).
There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby. Followed with the cool gentle breeze that carried the salty scent of the sea. Things seem to be at peace, as usual--or is it?
After all, there were always new Drifters popping in. Maybe today there just might be some new faces wandering through looking confused. Now's the time to step up and lend a helping hand. Icharibachoude, we're all brothers, as they say in Ultern!
Or heck, just feel free to enjoy the fun festivities filled with food and music.
That is, if you can--as behind the walls of houses in Ultern that day the familiar friendly faces all wake up with a surprise no one's expecting.
(🌺Ulsai! Happy anniversary everyone, and thank you so much for a whole year of time in Ultern! Please note NPCs will be popping up here and there! But for some reason they’re all different…? For any comments, concerns and questions head on over to the OOC post! Plot with your fellow players there as well!🌺)

[It's early in the morning, and while the Professor starts his morning early with his Pokemon things are different. There's no signs of the familiar Pokemon Professor emerging out to the porch. Instead, a young boy emerges out, barely dressed for the day and barefoot.
Not only is the big bandage on his face quite notable, but it seemed there were a few bandaids on his arms. Perhaps he was the clumsy kind? Or perhaps not given how he's jumping down, past the stairs on his porch, calling out to someone.]
Chide?! Chide, where are you!?
Route 1 - Seaside Trail
[The wind is refreshing from the breeze picking up the water from the nearby sea. There's a young boy out on his own clearly searching for something. There's a Staryu that seems to be slowly trailing after him. The boy seemed to be too focused on whatever he's doing to notice the Staryu--that or perhaps, he didn't seem to mind having one tagging along?]
Research Lab
"Hey!" he calls out to him, voice a bit thick from having just woken up. "People are trying to sleep here!"

Turnbloom - Pokemon Center
If anyone were to come up close, naturally she’ll be happy to assist! Followed by a giggle of course.]
[1/2]
[Buson here, carrying a Mawile with bandages on its arms and the lower half of its jaw.]
[2/2; Buson is *trying* ... also a vague alcohol reference]
Uh, hey, there, little missy...
I need someone, preferably someone who's been to medical school and presumably above drinking age, to get a look at Mawile, see if its wounds have healed or if it needs a change of bandages or... somethin'.
Know where the nurse went? Your mama? Auntie...? Sister...?

Early Morning - Churahana Flower Shop
Her yellow eyes are blazing with clear anger.]
Who the heck do ya think you are sneaking into my bed, ya creep?!
[Ruh-roh, what’s going on there?]
[trying to analyze the situation]
Then... the skinny guy in that red suit really was Manzana?! That's very troubling. Was he not the only one tempted to go astray or... given how young they both looked...]
Alright. It's been a hot minute since the last time this place did something really crazy, but, before you go beatin' people up, Anemone—that is you, right? Then, the guy in the suit is... Manzana?
How old are you two? Last thing you remember?
[A younger Manzana could have drifted in from earlier in his time in Kalos, can't be the Manzana from Paldea, although it is kind of depressing to Buson just how young he looks even as an agent of Team Flare, but... wasn't Anemone Ulternian? She couldn't have drifted in... so is this something like the time they were all forced to speak the truth? Does this affect everyone? Or just some people?]
Poor Buson just thrown into chaotic situations today
[very unfun and confusing...... for Buson]
It's unfun for all of them hooray!

Afternoon - Turnbloom City outskirts
[A young boy starts fiddling with his phone wearing a look that's a mix of confusion and frustration. Circling around him is a small green simian-looking Pokemon -- different from a Pansage, seeming more carefree than its preoccupied trainer.]
...I'm right next to civilization, yet I'm not getting even a signal here. What's going on?
no subject
You're new here, aren't you?

Evening - Turnbloom City
Gold walks past booths with colorful toys and masks with barely a glance of interest, looking for easy marks. When he finds someone who's about to buy some food, he casually hangs out near the booth, acting like he's not keeping an eye on them.
And suddenly, the moment you're buying some food, a small gremlin swoops past you and snatches either your wallet or your food, whichever's easier, and runs off. What will you do?
[ooc: Gold's deaged for the evening! You can respond with either prose or action tags, I'll match you! Also, warning: there will definitely be swearing in this thread once baby Gold opens his mouth ^^;]
no subject
"Here I was looking forward to a bite of a nice and fresh doughnut!" Despite her complaint, she's already going off to give chase with Gold while also waving and making the loudest noise possible gathering the attention of others. "Hey kiddoooo! You forgot thiiiis!"
She's waving one hand even, almost deliberately trying to get more attention of others. (It was very much deliberate.)

Trip's too meek to fight back or give chase and is easily frightened into silence by the sight of the raggedy-looking boy.
All he can do when Gold steals his food and makes off with is stand there, blinking back tears, still mute with shock.]

[... the only people baby Trip knows are Gold, Banyan, and Ash, as I recall, oh no...]

Sorry! I hope that didn't hit you.
[Or you can find her sitting at the side, making notes on who knows what. Fate and Peeps are out, the Torchic pecking at the ground and the Smoliv chewing on a napkin. Alice shakes her head.]
Signs of a temporal phenomenon... You don't think it's -- well, it could be all sorts of things! But even if it isn't Evan, I do wonder... Oh! [Alice waves up at you.] What do you think?
games!
[She ducks to dodge the cork. Instead of being upset however, upon looking up she laughs and clapped her handa together.]
Great shot! You almost got me.
[She teased lightly before peering into Alice's face. Ooh, she recognized that face! Of course she would which has her smiling wide.]
Having a good time so far?

Sitting (with a side of face twins)
Uhm… I like the festival. [Blink blink.] Unless you mean your temporal thingy? I’m not really good at science-y stuff.
[And she’s just going to be distracted by Peeps for a second, hang on.] -Aw, it’s so fluffy! Is that your Pokémon?

[X is out with his Quaxly, Coiffe drawn to the festival. X has a stick of water candy clearly puzzled by clear, syrup like candy. X is distracted, that he notices too late when Coiffe in excitement is rushing ahead of him, and towards a nearby person.]
Hey! Watch out!
B.
[Over at the booths, X can be found staring at the festival masks that are hanging. Among them are Pokemon themed--one even looking vaguely like the two revered Pokemon: Ho-Oh and Shi-Sah. He'll be seen lifting one of the masks up in thought.]
Trevor might like this...no, Y would like this more. Trevor would rather see the Pokedex entry wouldn't he? What do you think?
[He'll be turning around fully expecting to just be talking to his Chesnaught Marisso, not realizing there's anyone else nearby.]
this is like a third prompt for anyone who wants Team Flare shenanigans
How unsightly of you to be here, within my gaze. I'll wipe both you and your Pokemon on the floor for constantly interrupting our plans.

Evening | Turnbloom City
Don't you think they're all so pretty?! Which one's your favorite?
[Later on, she's still walking around with that Spearow on her head, only now she's also lazily tossing a Pokeball up and down. If what she's been told is true... if it really is safe to battle in Ultern without fear of injury and worse... well, there's only one way to test that particular theory, isn't there? She pauses.]
Hey! Um, I know Trainers are supposed to battle when their eyes meet. So, I challenge you! Let's have a fun match, okay?
no subject
Instead of throwing out the Pokeball he held, Red's gesturing out to the field between them with his free hand.]
Loto! Go for it!
[Straight from Red's bag a Joltik will emerge, hopping right down to the field.]

Even later in the evening
No one seemed to pay this Pokemon any mind--as they don't seem to notice until it hops down an on top of someone's head. Once it leaps away, that person's appearance--making them suddenly look younger than they were not even a second ago.
"Huh? Huh? Where am I?" The sudden child will look around in confusion.
"Did you see that?" Someone in the crowd whispers. "I think that might be Celebi!"
"Yasa! That is Celebi! What's it doing outta the forest?!"
[Buson yells at Legendaries irreverantly]
The, uh... spines? Quils? Whatever it's got going on on the back of its head almost reminds him of Ho-Oh's crest of feathers, only without any of the grandeur.
He didn't think it might be important, until it landed on someone's head and shrunk them!
He heard others in the crowd call it... Celebi?! Uglier than any illustration of a Celebi he's ever seen, that's for sure, but never mind that.
"HEY! You put those people back the way you found 'em! I've had to take my wounded Pokemon to some kid cuddling a Poke Doll because you went and shrunk the nurse, had to haul my friend and tie him up because he's gone back to being some kinda hooligan makin' trouble at this festival, an' you're STILL at it?! Put things back the way you found 'em, you GODDAMNED UGLY ROTTEN ONION WITH GROWTHS STICKIN' OUT!!"

whatever time, during the festival
[What's this, what's this? Some kinda party? This clearly 11 year old child hadn't expected to wake up in a completely different place full of strangers from what was clearly all sorts of regions today but dang was he going to enjoy himself. He'll be seen with some takoyaki in hand looking around, while chewing.]
S'weird didn't think I'd get this hungry in this place? Here I thought maybe--oops!
[During his mumbling and chewing, he'll bump right into someone.]
B.
[Sometime later he can be seen with a colorful Pinwheel in hand as he's walking down the crowded town simply observing the people and Pokemon around him. He seemed to be content in just watching--until quickly stepping away into an alley. He'll lift his arm up the one that had his Pokegear attached to it and stare.]
Man, what am I doing? It's not like I can call anyone here can I? None of the stuff seems to be working besides the radio anyway...
[He'll be mumbling to himself while clearly fidgeting with his Pokegear. Even if no one has seen him slip into the alley they'll most definitely pick up on music that's playing in that direction, from his Pokegear.]
[ooc: Just throwing this lad in for the festival yahoo-]
A
A...nother Kenta look-alike? Shaggier, straighter hair, though. At least it isn't him. Accent's too different, to boot. Clearly not Ulternian, though.]

Evening, somewhere in Turnbloom
[Red's a bit confused. There he was, in Vermilion City, having just defeated Lt. Surge, when suddenly it was nighttime, he's in the middle of a festival, and it doesn't look like Vermilion City at all anymore. What's going on?
Of course, anyone passing by would've seen Ultern's tallest Red walking around until the local Celebi bounced off his head, shrinking him until he's twelve years old, but still kind of tall for his age.
He looks around, then walks up to the closest person and just stares at them intensely, eyes shadowed by his hat's rim, waiting for them to talk.]

'Sup? wouldn't be the way he'd phrase it but he would be asking if he remembered to actually use his vocal chords.]
