    The Festival of Masks

    Symphony's safeguards had definitely helped in slowing the spread of poison from Fezandipiti's attacks, making it far easier for Grace to keep up with patching everyone's injuries. The talonflame had blown away the poison cloud, the little fox... did something and now looked all shiny and...

    The Festival of Masks

    So far it was working. Their combined assault left the bird staggering. But the glare Fezandipiti sent her way made it clear he was not pleased to have been so easily countered. "Stay back, Symphony!" Kari called to her chimecho. They'd battled together enough with Ana's team to know what to do...

    The Festival of Masks

    Poison. Poison. The bird had poison techniques. Bad. Half her team was weak to poison! The moonblast was easy enough for Grace to absorb, but not this. She floated back into the front lines valiantly, dripping purple ooze, anyway. Kari eyed the other gathered trainers. Thankfully they were...

    The Festival of Masks

    Oh. They'd been caught. Kari looked behind her in worry; she expected the bird, but she didn't know he was bringing backup! What a mess... all she'd wanted was to learn about the festival, and somehow she'd gotten tangled up in dismantling it. She'd been prepared to remain silent and let her...

    The Festival of Masks

    Kari had been easily distracted watching the scene unfold in front of her. That trevenant had really been a... zorua? And now it was talking? Maybe it was a trick that came with it's illusion abilities... It wasn't until the man with the fire bird and adorable bread dog - Marcel, he'd just...

    The Festival of Masks

    He ran. She told him about his grandfather, and he ran. ...What?? "S-sorry!" Kari blurted out to the group, not to anyone in particular. "I... that was not the reaction I was expecting..." Well, at least it had gotten them through the guard. Kari followed the others in chasing down the boy...

    The Festival of Masks

    "H-he would... attack them??" Sure, they seemed to be normal pokemon, but they were also the ones this whole festival was being held for. Attacking them out in the open like that wouldn't end well for literally anyone. "I'll go see if I can find them. Um... what masks did they have?" It would...

    The Festival of Masks

    Right, there was a situation happening. Old man aside, the two of the Loyal Three (?) who had appeared seemed to be trying to get people to comb the festival for the real Ogrepon. "So... so that all wasn't just a part of the play?" she asked, somewhat rhetorically at this point. If the old man...

    The Festival of Masks

    Kari continued to wander the festival grounds, searching (unsuccessfully) for Ana. She stopped on occasion to snap a picture of an unfamiliar pokemon she spotted or some cute charms and trinkets at one of the stalls, but her nerves were only getting worse the longer she looked, and there was...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Oh yes, I agree!" Kari said excitedly. The implications behind a pokemon who kept his own pictures didn't even cross her mind. Kari raised her phone camera and spun around, getting Sean, herself, and Symphony in the shot. "This came out great!" she said upon taking the photo and checking it...

    The Festival of Masks

    Kari caught something in the corner of her eye; her attenton had been on the play, and by the time she glanced over, the shape was gone. She'd been sort of zoned out, focused intently on the play, but with her focus broken, she caught sight of several others in the crowd taking pictures of the...

    The Festival of Masks

    As she looked around, watching both the play and the audience, Kari smiled down at the little pokemon as he settled in nearby, glad that she hadn't walked too quickly for him. (Admittedly she had a fair amount of experience with pokemon with tiny legs.) Then, she heard that voice again. And this...

    The Festival of Masks

    Kari looked around nervously, unsure of the source of the voice. This was a large crowd... surely no one would be talking to her! But no... down by her feet, an vaguely familiar pokemon stared up at her. The mask, she recognized... but the body... it was sort of familiar. Maybe one Ana had...

    The Festival of Masks

    Kari walked up the path towards the festival, hand-in-hand with her girlfriend, Ana. On her other side, a chimecho gleefully floated along with a light jingle, her tail wrapped around Kari's upper arm. Kari had been waiting all day for this event; studying the cultures of other regions was her...
