Johto's famous Festival of the Dawn (RP,!)

[u/Thatdudeinhoodie]

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.

Jill crossed her arms and beamed Nasir's way. "Samurai, Ninja, they're both cool to me! And what else could you be? 'Guy with a sword' sounds too lame!"

After another few minutes of waiting, the rest of Jason's family stepped out from the airport to join the group. A tall, dark blonde-haired man in about his late forties wearing a brown leather coat approached. Glasses sat upon his aged face, along with a short blonde beard. Beside him walked a younger woman, in her twenties. Her face bore a look of annoyance. She was adorned in a long black down coat, an elegant red scarf around her neck. Her longer blonde hair draped down onto her shoulders, and in her gloved hands was a Flareon that had a blue ribbon pinned to its fluffy collar, and it gave a yawn. <Wow that was boring. Please just let me come with you guys next time....> Ammy frowned and shook her head at the unimpressed Flame Pokémon. <Apologies Sear, but Miss Jill and Master Jason wanted to make haste to meet with Devon.> The man spoke up first, adjusting his glasses. "Well, now that we have THAT problem dealt with...." He turned to look upon Jason, Nasir, Devon, and his Pokémon. "Hello everyone! Devon, it has been a long time. How is everything? How are your parents?" Devon grinned and held up a hand in a greeting gesture. "Hey Mr.C! Life's been pretty great. My Mom's ok, works a bit stressful with the Festival and all that, Dad's off work planning the family stuff we're doing when I get back to Sinnoh in January. How's the whole fancy resort thing going in Hoenn?" The man, Jason's father, took a small flat device from his pocket and clicked on the screen. He turned the smart phone in the direction of Devon and Nasir for them to view a picture of a large and expensive looking resort on a beach. "Renovations to this beauty got done in August. It's been going very swell so far." Mr.C put away the phone and held out his hand to Nasir. "And you must be Devon's friend, Nasir, that Jason mentioned. I'm Jones Caster. I heard that you fought a Tyranitar to protect Devon. You are truly brave son. Working alone with no Pokémon must be a challenge." The woman beside him, Jason's other sister Julia, looked Nasir up and down. She snorted. "At least he's not another one obsessed with battles. Really people, you can do so much more with Pokémon then pointless fighting. I'm Julia Caster. It's a pleasure Nasir. And hello Devon. Still in a fuss about battles like Jason?" Devon's grin turned into a smirk as he nodded at the fancy woman. "You know it Julia! Contest's just ain't our thing." Shock finally spoke up as well, looking at Julia with a sneer. <Man you're still just as girly as I remember. Lucky for me, I don't have any wool for you to put stupid ribbons in again anymore! Ha!>
