April/May 2022
	Spring Festivities
	As April rolls in, the stormy season of Hisui is starting to die down into simple, lighter rains. March comes in like a Pyroar, and goes out like a Wooloo, as they say in some regions. Sunny days mostly outnumber the rainy ones, bringing a general sense of cheerfulness to the village. In an effort to blend traditions from all backgrounds, locals are sharing the ways they celebrate with the new arrivals from the rifts. Ask anyone native to the area and they'll be happy to show you how to make flower crafts, good luck charms, and local delicacies. They'll encourage you to make and share your own traditions. It's the time for new things - the locals will exclaim - try something you've never done!

Charmed, I'm Sure
Particularly popular is the exchange of small charms for luck, strong bonds, and love. Locals will be happy to sell, make, or share the recipes for these charms, as well as explain their meanings. Lucky Charm: A small clover-shaped charm said to bring good luck to anyone who possesses it. Gifted as a sign that you're thinking about someone, and hope they're doing well. Bonding Charm: A knot-shaped charm said to encourage strong bonds of kinship. Give one to a stranger you wish you knew to begin a lasting friendship. Memory Charm: A sakura flower-shaped charm that is said to carry the memories of those you love and those who love you. Give it to someone you care about, platonically or otherwise, to remind them they are loved. And feel free to make your own charms as well! Warding charms, strength charms, charms with peculiar blessings specific to the person gifting them - the world is your oyster.

	Egg Hunt
	On a more biological note, this is also the time of new life - and that means pokémon eggs. Lots of them. All throughout the deepest reaches of the Obsidian Fieldlands, one can find nests, abandoned eggs, and baby pokemon fresh from the shells. It would be cute if it didn't mean that other pokemon in the area are also getting more aggressive to defend their young. Stay on your toes as you travel! The Survey Corps thought it would be a great idea to bring some of the eggs back to the Fieldlands base camp for study, but now that they're on the verge of hatching and need new homes, this plan has a…flaw. They're giving 1 egg to anyone interested in raising their own pokémon, though there's no guarantee of what you'll get. OOC: There will be an egg claim top level below. Comment there to receive 1 completely random pokemon from the pool of available starters, with the potential for a hidden ability or shiny. This is basically equivalent to a 3 pt. RNG pull from the rewards page, just for free as a spring treat. Limited to 1 per character. Event pokemon do not count towards your cap of 5 per month.

Who asked that? -Oh, yes, there he is, another child, apparently of a slightly different kind than the others. Well, Chatot will of course humbly oblige this for the wellbeing of his Pokemon neighbors, even though what he explains is almost entirely hypothesis.

"Could you get yourself out if you found yourself inside of a sturdy box? Some Pokemon, you are right, are natural escape artists, or are powerful enough that a simple machine can't contain them. But what about my apprentice here?" "Apprentice here?"

"She is quite strong for a hatchling, yes, but if I wanted I could restrain her just with my...errm, my hands. Perhaps if she Pecked enough, she could indeed force her way out, but why would I subject her to that in the first place?" "First place?" He gently places a hand on his companion's head in a gesture of reassurance. "Chrrp!"

"It sounds miserable, doesn't it?" "Miserable."

[seacub]

Alright, that... Does sound fairly upsetting, he thinks. He sure can't say what it is or isn't like inside a pokeball.

There's just one thing that has him wondering about the matter. "Erm...."

He looks at his pokeball. And then up at the sky. It's not especially sunny out (and frankly speaking Litwick isn't weak to sunlight he's just a pansy), but. Hm.

"Well, it's more..."

He gently tosses it to the ground, letting Litwick out. Briefly, the candle stretches and yawns.

Then he immediately looks up, scowls, and sludges right back over to Emporio's feet to reach for the pokeball.

"Ah- okay okay! I'm sorry, I just didn't know how to put this to words..!!"

Alright, back in they go!!

The boy sighs, and looks at Chatot. "...I have more trouble getting him to come out if anything..."
