    The Festival of Masks

    While they are conversing, Priestess Satomi finishes what she was preparing. There were seals to ward against evil and keep them out, such as in the Lavender Pokemon Tower, but it could just as well work the other way. The humans here wouldn't see it, but the Pokemon would see a ring of radiant...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Hoo! Plenty more where that came from!" The elderly woman stands triumphant before turning to what she had expected. It was part of why she did not have Unami use Trick Room, in the formal sense anyway. But she was prepared for this turn of events. "And I see our epic battle attracted...

    The Festival of Masks

    Unami is unbothered by the heat, at least, no more unbothered than anything else would be. But Priestess Satomi's jovial smile fades, her lips twisting. How was he been seemingly entirely unaffected by that paralysis she redirected? How could he have shakened off that confusion? How else had he...

    The Festival of Masks

    A Protect would uselessly materialize and dissipate without getting hit. Then, out of nowhere, a strange and disorienting ray of light would launch forth from their body, aimed right for Okidogi. A Confuse Ray attack! And it's at that moment that Unami wakes, refreshed and ready for more concise...

    The Festival of Masks

    Satomi shrugs as Gen continues to do nothing and turns back to Unami as the ground begins to shake; the bell floats right over it. Again, they seem to get ready to do something in their sleep. But again, nothing seems to happen. She turns, scratches her head, and smiles. Nothing has happened...

    The Festival of Masks

    A frown comes to Priestess Satomi's mouth. Slightly problematic, but no matter. Her eyes shift to the retreating Carmine, who had edged as far as she could. It appeared that the Block was still registering her as an enemy. She was out of the way, but would be trouble if she escaped and informed...

    The Festival of Masks

    Priestess Satomi smiles a little at Evie's gusto. Very talented to boot! This was no ordinary fox! "He is a Poison and Fighting-type. Quite brutish. He just used Shadow Claw. That wicked aura will need teamwork to break through," Satomi explains. She reaches into her bag. These were originally...

    The Festival of Masks

    The attack may have been strong, but it was going to take far more than that to bring down Unami. Still, Satomi sighs and shakes her head when Carmine makes her choice. She was prepared for this possibility, but she didn't like it. Still, she takes it in stride. "Oh my. Well, I'll do my best to...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Is that...?" she asks. Quick as a flash and out of nowhere, she reaches out to try to snag the mask off her face! Success or fail, her eyes would light up (and she would quickly return it if succeeded anyway). "Ah, thought I recognized you, Carmine! 'Course, last time we met, you were just in...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Yes, humans and Pokemon aren't so different from each other. That's one of our shrine's tenets, in fact! Well, I do hope you can return when you're done with whatever whoever brought you wherever for. I'm sure your loved ones miss you." She presses a hand to her heart, and involuntarily...

    The Festival of Masks

    "What are you talking about?" she asks, lightly tilting her head with a smile. "Of course you're a human. Unless my intuition is wrong. I think I'm right, but you could well just have a very human-like heart! Do you consider yourself one?" She laughs a little. Maybe she's playing around a bit...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Thanks, made the one myself," she says to Theo, posing a little. "And no, silly. I'm talking about your other mask," she replies. She lets that sink in before saying something that may be even more alarming. "It's the hardly the first time I've seen someone go to a festival as what's in their...

    The Festival of Masks

    "I'm sure it'll be a festival to remember. You take care!" the elderly priestess says, waving much more cordially as she sees the revered Pokemon take to the skies. He had received a cue, and intended to live life. Her hands go to her hips and a grin comes to her face. It seems things were about...

    The Festival of Masks

    Satomi nods in agreement. "Yes. I've seen many pass on. I have spoken with many spirits who had lingering regrets over what they could not accomplish in their life. I even had to exorcise a few. We all must face our time eventually, but some of us go more untimely. It is indeed a great honor to...

    The Festival of Masks

    Quite the bold reply. She responds to the Pokemon equally boldly by slowly yet fearlessly approaching, arms folded behind her back. "Revered Fezandipiti, if I'm not mistaken," the elderly priestess neutrally greets in an equally low tone that is just barely audible, giving a respectful bow to...

    The Festival of Masks

    Satomi had a swagger in her step as she made her way down Reveler's Road. It seemed from the footprints that the Loyal Three were off to the festival as well. One even took flight. A fun little thought occurred to her. Pokemon were quite sentient, but not all of them could process human...

    The Festival of Masks

    The priestess was all ready to go about her business, maybe greet anyone. When she crosses over into the grounds of the plaza, the sight of the the ruins makes her take pause. A smirk comes to her mouth, perhaps an unwitting one. Now what could have happened here? Satomi performs an...

    The Festival of Masks

    She smiles to herself. So her intuition was correct after all. "A pleasure to have met you, Your Majesty," she says with sincere respect. "And you enjoy it as well. Perhaps we'll bump into each other later?" With this, Satomi goes and checks into her room at the community center, having made...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Called a camera," she says with a wink. "Think of it as a device that creates a picture of what's in front of it. 'Course, the ones today are much more effective than the ones when I was little." "Anyway," she says with that. "Was nice chatting with you, but I need to go change into something...

    The Festival of Masks

    The woman closes her eyes and her lips curl into a frown. "Yes, I've two. A Blastoise and a Bronzong. I used to have more. But they passed on from age before I." She shakes her solemnness off. "Aava Desert, eh?" She wasn't expecting him to openly admit to being from another world. A very...
