International Pokémon Care and Adoption Exhibition (IPCAE)

Event dates: August 28th-September 3rd. Location: Veilstone Convention Center, Veilstone City, Sinnoh. Run by: @floaroma-sanctuary Details: This event is aimed at Pokémon sanctuaries, rescues, daycares, adoption centers, shelters, etc. to come together and share knowledge and make connections as well as an exhibition of any Pokémon they may have available for adoption. It's also meant to educate the public as well and will have several different lectures, hopefully targeting different age groups.

The event is "officially" hosted by the Pokémon Care Collective, an international Pokémon care union that coordinates communication between different facilities and with authorities like the Rangers Union, and it standardizes care practices and education to make it accessible.

Needed: - General Attendees - Lecturers - Runners of Pokémon Care blogs!!!

Stakes: NO STAKES! It's supposed to be a fun, light-hearted event that hopefully opens up the floor for connecting with other blogs with similar concepts or adoption storylines.

No planning Discord, but you're welcome to contact the blog above if you have any questions or ideas to add! It's a looser format, so feel free to run wild. Just keep in mind it is focused on Pokémon care! It's a completely open event, so anyone can participate!

Remember, if you're at IPCAE, and you visit our stall, the pokemon who are wearing service sashes at the moment are not adoptable. We only have Unown for adoption, and I request you don't bother my service pokemon while they're working.

FOUND HIM! Little bugger was in the weirdest spot! [attached is a picture of Ban shoved under something not quite discernible. Only the shape of Ban and the reflection of his eyes can be made out]

BAN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!

MAHALO MAHALO BEAU I'M COMING OVER NOW WHERE ARE YOU???

Hello, this is Professor Indigo. Ah, I am currently heading to the ipcae unfortunately much later than planned so i am very understanding if i am too late, but is Linnea the deaf leafeon still available for adoption?

Linnea is absolutely still available! You’re just in luck, too, as I’m packing up from the exhibition but am still here!

Feel free to swing around to the booth in the middle, towards the stage!

When Beau arrives at his booth on the 3rd a large typhlosion with a bandana, adorned with purple flames, is standing in front of it. His arms are crossed and his trainer is no where to be seen as he looks back and forth across the center. --- @moonlightshadowsrescue

“Good morning, Astro. Is something the matter?” Beau walks up, starting to get his Pokémon settled in the booth. Titan is moving around to make sure the remaining adoptable Pokémon are comfortable and that Moonpie, Dizzy, and Carys all have their beds ready.

It's only day two, and I've already had to decline someone adoption over them clearly being only in it for getting a rare variant that's also shiny, not actually caring about the needs of the pokemon. A major red flag with people trying to adopt Unown is when they insist on calling them 'wall decals'.

Beau let out a sigh as he sat at the sign in table for the Reading event, taking a drink from his water bottle. He'd spent quite some time running around to help everyone get set up with their Pokémon and fielding questions. He heard someone approaching and looked up to see Lucas and Anita (@eve-eeeee) approaching.

He smiled and stood to greet them. "Hello, hello! Were you wanting to reading to one of our adoptable Pokémon today?"
