☆28☆ [Video/Action]

So? What is it this time?

[It’s not that Ryner’s worried about whatever it is Jehra has to show him. Knowing how his Pokémon are, it’s probably his evolution or something. Granted, you’d think he’d have heard by now if Absols had one, since he certainly isn’t the only one with one, but one never knows, and it’s not like he pays complete attention to every network post.

Once they make it up there, however, Jehra does not, in fact, start glowing the typical light that signifies a change in species. No, instead he pushes over a loose roof tile and retrieves a piece of paper, handing it silently to the one who had hatched him. A single piece of paper, decorated on the edges with the footprints of each of Ryner’s various partners, and in the middle with a single message written in carefully attempted but still obviously novice handwriting:

Happy Ryners Day


Ryner’s first reaction is confusion, then remembering, then a slight double take, followed by slightly narrowing his eyes.]


...Ah, that’s what this is about. Guess I should have expected that she wouldn’t forget about that...

[While he’s distracted with that, though, Jehra gets on his back legs and supports himself on the railing, staring toward the forest. His eyes briefly glow red as he uses Detect, though not because he senses an attack - in fact, it’s actually a signal.

A signal that’s easily caught by the eyes of a certain Noctowl, who upon seeing it immediately takes wing, a Jigglypuff on his back. A Xatu (only recently evolved) follows right behind, another Jigglypuff as her passenger. (One of the Jigglypuffs is actually a Ditto.)

And a Clefairy standing in the top branches of the tree sends up her own reply signal when the birds are ready - a single pulse ring of water, which goes up a few feet before raining to the ground.

"Sol!" Finally, Jehra speaks, and Ryner turns toward the Absol, who indicates for him to look.

And what he sees... well, at first it surprises him, briefly, that they figured out how to do it. Then it hits him why they worked so hard to figure it out, and he wants to facepalm - how many times has he told them that his life isn’t something worth celebrating like this?

...But, eventually, he sighs and decides to accept it.]


...You really, really shouldn’t have... but thanks.

[He pulls out his Pokégear to record it. If they’re going to do this for him, he might as well share it with everyone else, too. After all, it’s not like he hasn’t heard about what happened on the Magnet Train. That kind of horribly troublesome thing happening, with people getting hurt and Pokémon getting kidnapped... well, it’s not like he can do anything about it himself even if it wouldn’t be a pain to, being here and not there. But maybe everyone would appreciate a little spark of happiness to offset the dark times.

Besides, wasn’t that the point when he did exactly this for Sion? Doing something that everyone could enjoy? He can’t fault Rose for choosing to do something like that.

"Absol." In any case, Jehra is content.]


[If you’re in or near Violet City, you can probably see it if you look up over the forest’s edge. If you’re not, well, there’s a video of it coming in from the Pokégear of a certain lazy mage. No commentary, just a recording of it as it happens.

What is it, you might be asking?

Fireworks, of course.

The Jigglypuffs atop the Noctowl and Xatu use Present, then they toss them up in the air as targets for the Clefairy to shoot with Magical Leaf, exploding them into sparkling lights that rain down. It’s hard to say how they’re getting four different colors out of it, but it could be the different properties of each use of Present.

They’re nothing like the fireworks one might see on major holidays that are created by professionals, but they’re still pretty. And relatively quiet, too.

And they go on for a good fifteen minutes before their finale.]

[She's just gonna... keep going on about the lights.]

They appear every year, on my birthday. And I just know that... they're meant for me...

[She sighs.]

But mother wont' let me see them...

["Clefairy fairy clef clefair." Then maybe you should go see them anyway, the Clefairy thinks. Who cares what your mother says, if you want to see them, go see them!

...Rose is not the best-disciplined of Clefairies, some might argue.]

[Have... more ranting!]

Mother won't even take me with her to go see them. She says... I can't ever ask to leave my tower again.

["Puff..." The Jigglypuff's smile hasn't changed, but his eyes show sorrow, anyway. That's unfortunate, he thinks, that you're not allowed to do that.

"Clefairy fairy clef!" The Clefairy, on the other hand, is of the opinion that if your mother doesn't want you to ask anymore, then don't ask and just do it!]

Oh... But I can't ask Mother about it any more. Because I promised her I wouldn't.

[THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DELIMA. She sighs.]

What I'd give to see those lights...

[The Clefairy turns to the Jigglypuff. "Clef, clef clef!"

The Jigglypuff nods, produces a wrapped present from out of nowhere, and tosses it in the air.

"Clefairy clef clefair... Clefairy!"

And the Clefairy shoots some magical leaves at the present, making it burst into those same shimmering lights.]

[Rapunzel looks confused at first, brought back away from her musings of the lights. She keeps her eyes focused on the present.]

[However, she has the happiest happy ever when she sees the fireworks. Her eyes light up and she gives a little gasp in surprise.

["Fairy!" The Clefairy, noting your reaction, lights up as well. She's so glad she can make you happy!

"Jiggly!" The Jigglypuff is willing to make more for a while longer if you'd like.]

[YES. Yes she would like very much.]

[As it is... she's just gonna sit here and stare at the lights in awe. Because alkfjsfsd--
