May Day Mayday

A. All around Glitterace and Turnbloom (Normies)
[Hello everyone. How are you doing? The weather is lovely around Ultern today and it’s a great day for just going about your business outside. Maybe you just stopped by the market? Maybe you’re catching some pokemon? Maybe you’re having a snack? Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, you suddenly find yourself being accosted from behind by a pink-haired young woman in a rocket grunt uniform. She’s going to try and MUG YOU AND RUN, taking any poke balls you may have been carrying with you.

If you’re quick enough and manage to dodge her sticky fingers, she’ll skid to a stop on the other side, turning to look at you. There’s a dark intensity to her expression. She flexes her fingers like a cowboy readying to draw a pistol… but doesn’t appear to be carrying a weapon, thankfully. All the same, she’s clearly not here for a friendly chat.]

Your Pokémon. Hand ‘em over.

[Her accent is very Galarian, but sort of…off, somehow?]

B. All around Glitterace and Turnbloom (for Rockets)
[…Unless, of course, you happen to be sporting a bright red R as well. She won’t apologize for bodychecking you but she will, at least, return any Pokémon she snatched if she managed to get any.]

Tch. You should really be more careful.

Oh?

[It's quiet at night, but not dead silent. In the streets of towns, there's still sounds of people, families gathered at home enjoying time together. Or Nocturnal Pokemon who'd skitter about, and communicating amongst one another.

There's a lone Parasol Lady walking down the nightly path--her parasol in one hand, and her phone in another. She's clearly panicked and will immediately stop anyone who's nearby.]

Did you see just now!? Up in the sky?! I saw it! I really did!

[Just what was she going on about?]

[In fact, if one were to go online that night many people of Ultern seemed to be buzzed with something up in the sky--]

Did anyone see this up in the sky just now?

[Attached is a blurry photo of something flying in the sky. A blue fish? It was hard to tell, really.]

[Manzana, one of the flowershop keeper is out with his Marine pattern Vivillon not too far. There's a worried look on his face, as he seems to be searching for something. He'll soon approach anyone that's near by.]

Excuse me? I'm looking for a friend of mine...have you happen to see him? He's this tall, muscular, blonde...

(Happy May everyone! Feel free to pester any of the NPCs here, or mingle amongst yourselves, speculate about the strange sighting etc!)
