You hear a loud avian shriek and look up just in time to see a Talonflame drop an envelope. It plummets through the air and lands on your lap. As the Talonflame flies away, you pick up the envelope, curious. The envelope feels thick, and whatever is inside is weighty.
In one swift motion, you tear off the top and upend it. A strange device slides out. For the typical trainer, it almost resembles a sort of electronic tablet, except for the unusual casing. Gold and gray, with fancy gilded patterning and a single golden ring set into the back.
You begin to read the text on the display:
Dear Esteemed Trainer!
You are cordially invited to take part in the Festival of Friendship, hosted by Xavian Montorzi. This honor has been extended to Trainers and Pokemon teams displaying unusual skill or noteworthy achievements and will celebrate the special bonds we share with our Pokemon partners...
The festival will last two weeks, and will feature prizes, battles, and other events. Trainers from all across the world will be in attendance, offering a chance to hone one's skills in battle, meet new pokemon or simply learn about new places. There will also be another unprecedented opportunity - several mythical pokemon have been invited to the island, and a lucky few trainers may get to meet them! This is a chance for you an your partner to escape to a beautiful island and relax and enjoy all the best amenities.
Truly, the opportunity of a lifetime awaits!
Complementary food and board will be provided for you and your partners. All you must bring are yourselves.
If you wish to attend, please press the ‘accept’ icon below, and a chauffeur will arrive for you shortly.

After perhaps, some discussion, or immediately for others, it seems there is only one choice - yes. But what awaits? Moments after selecting yes, the tablet vanishes from your hands, as if teleporting itself away.
....
Some time later, but seemingly not long at all, there is a telltale flash of teleport, and a young lady appears in front of you. By her side stands a Hypno. She politely introduces herself as Amara. To some trainers, her Hypno introduces itself as Honzo. Strangely enough, to others, Hypno forgoes the introduction. Once introductions have been made, she reaches into her pocket to withdraw a small case, similarly gilded like the tablet from earlier. She opens it and retrieves a small golden ring.
By how she handles it, it does not seem to belong to her. She tosses it up, and her Hypno sends a wave of psychic energy into the ring. It expands until it is as large as a man and glows with whitish purple light in the center. Amara explains that the ring has been created to safely teleport you to a dock where a boat will take you to the island.
After, perhaps, some reassurances, you step through the ring and find yourself a large, yet empty boat dock, save for a single ship. On the horizon, the sun is just beginning to rise.
The ship draws your entire attention - sleek white hull splashed with blues and silvers, lined with glass windows and longer than several Gyarados (or perhaps several Alolan exeggutor laid end to end). Painted in large golden cursive on the side are the words "S.S. Trousselin". The ship has multiple levels, open decks and even a spacious pool in the rear. The construction seems to support both large and small pokemon.
If asked, Amara will give a list of facilities on board. It seems there's several dining areas, private rooms ro relax in, pools on the upper decks, and even battle facilities. There's also a cozy bar serving fruity drinks (both alchoholic and non-alchoholic), a karaoke area, and another restaurant for those strange strange people who like to dance. It seems no expense was spared.
Behind you lies a nondescript beach, and beyond that scrubby fields and forests. There doesn’t appear to be any towns nearby. Perhaps this is a private dock?
You are soon led onto the boat by Amara, and informed that it will be a day-long cruise to reach your destination, and you are free to make yourself comfortable. The other trainers are already on board or will be arriving shortly. Perhaps it will be worth trying to meet these other trainers... Or find a quiet spot and avoid everyone as much as possible.

[[And with that, our adventure begins!
This intro is mainly to get your characters to the boat. Technically speaking, Amara has teleported to whatever world your character is native to, and upon coming through the ring you would be arriving in the world Xavier is native to. Feel free to interpret the specifics as you see fit. The main things is just that you received the invite, eventually accepted, were approached by Amara, and then entered the ring.
At this time, your characters are unaware this is a multiverse event, but as they begin talking to the other trainers and Pokemon, it may soon become evident that this invitation was sent to an extremely wide range of folks...
You are now free to RP as your character on the boat, and interact with the other players. At this time, there are no NPC’s on the boat, just the other RPers. This phase will serve as a chance for everyone to get to know each other, and will last until Monday evening, 8PM EST (give or take) at which point I will make a post about the boat docking and arriving on the island.
Also, if you have not done so already please read and review all rules, as well as the overview for RPing. https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/rules-mechanics.1150/
Also if you haven’t done so at all, I would recommend you join the discord so you can join the #AQ festival of friendship thread. This is where all ooc discussion and important announcements will be made.
Once again, if you have questions, do not hesitate to ping me there! Have fun!]]
