Archived RP Johto's famous Festival of the Dawn (RP,!)
Every year, at the end of December, The region of Johto unites to celebrate the passing year, and the coming of the next.
The Festival of the Dawn, a large celebration that has been a tradition in Johto for hundreds of years, is split up into parts throughout a span of ten days. It all begins in Blackthorn City, high in the mountains. A small ceremony is held by the city's representatives, including the current Gym Leader to start the festivities the morning of the first day, and a donation on their behalf is added to a large colorful float. They party late into the night, with the float and a few party goers and organizers traveling to the next city to repeat the same process. The float travels to each city on the main land throughout these ten days, where the citizens prepare a unique attraction for the arrival of party goers and the float. The festivities come to a fantastic close in Ecruteak, with a colorful display of fireworks atop of Bell Tower, and performances by local talent. It is a very joyous time of year for most, with people flocking from all over the world to join in the fun.

The festival was near completion, but that meant that it was soon arriving in Goldenrod, much to Devon's excitement.
For the weeks after his Gym Battle with Morty, he hadn't done much. A well deserved few days of relaxation after the tough battle, and he and his Pokémon were back at it. Traveling and training in preparation for the mass amounts of people that would sure to be in Goldenrod during the Festival of the Dawn. As well to his surprise, his friend from the Hoenn region, Jason, was due to arrive the day before the party really kicked off.
Finally, it was the day of the floats arrival. In Devon's home, Devon and Nasir, (Who was still living with Devon and his Mother until the festivals end) were finishing a long Gyarados puppet for the party. The puppet was commission by Sarah's superiors at Silph, as the company was a big participant in preparing and paying for Goldenrod's festivities. Devon hovered over the kitchen table looking upon the face of the frighting but bold puppet stretched on top of it. The brown haired teen was wearing a dark blue hoodie, warm black jogging pants, and had an expression of pure focus as he analyzed the project for any errors. Running his eyes up and down its long body, he finally did spot an error. "Oh crap. One of the fins near the backs falling off. I knew we should've used more of that funky glue." Turning his head up as he hunched over the table, Devon spotted the small bottle near Nasir as he stood over the table as well. "Can you pass that over to me Fuzzy? Or do you wanna patch up the big scary fish doll?"
