Departure and an Invitation

As i sat at the booth of the bar wondering when’s a good time to leave, I saw Akira approaching me with a red letter and a concerned look. “Someone asked me to give this to you, Saisei... and i believe we should depart, Now.” I was about to ask them something when they hurriedly went to the bathroom. Wondering what this is about, I opened the letter and I saw no card inside, only a radio tape and fragment of a newspaper article with a picture of a cargo ship. It took me a while to remember that there’s a portable radio at home that plays tapes like this. This maybe a gut feeling, but... something tells me that this is a recording of a message and the ship in the picture is the destination. As I started to pack up, A deep, dark voice i didn’t recognize at first rang through my head: “Not...You...”. I broke a sweat after hearing that as I left the building with a concerned Iris and Akira following me home. Suisei was back in the comet crystal and she’s sleeping. But... deep down, something is telling me that I don’t want to find the source of this new voice, and I hope I never do...

Saisei, Suisei, Akira and Iris has left the Event.

Awakening

The sun was slowly setting on the horizon and I was standing on a low cliff that’s right next to the Pacific Ocean. I was carrying a bag that had my snacks, water and something else for a special someone. Every now and then waves would crash against its rocky side, and I felt the spray of sea water hit my face. “Hey, cousin!” I heard a friendly voice and I turned around to see a sub-human Riolu like me heading my way from the sidewalk, he had blue eyes and a “comb over” hairstyle and was wearing a white shirt with a black spade on it with blue jeans. “You’re...” I started to say before I heard another voice ringing in my head: “Sai! Wake up! where are we?” My eyes snapped open and i sat up hastily, I was siting in one of the booths at the bar with Iris and Akira who are occupied with other things here. I looked at my right hand and saw that my comet shard was glowing faintly, letting me know that Suisei’s finally awake. I was about to say something when i felt a tear running down my right cheek. I touched it before i said: “Damn... why did he popped back into my head?” “Who...?” Suisei asked via telepathy before she noticed what just occurred. “Oh... i’m sorry if this is a bad time, i’ll...” “No! Stay. i’m fine... it was a long time ago after all...” I said before i told her about the deal i made between me and Iris and what this place is.

“Oh, i see...Well, if that’s how it is... I guess i wouldn’t mind if i could join in.” Suisei said before she went silent and I looked up and saw a female mega-lucairo with a white dress who’s sitting on the other side of the booth. She looked at her self in the window before looking down and she opened and closed her hands before nodding. “Yep... looks like it’s still incomplete. In order to maintain this... projection, I have to at least be within five feet from you.” She said before she shrugged. “Well, at least I can finally talk with other pokemon here!” I sighed before smiling. “Just... don’t try to hit on other guys here, ok?” The mega-lucario nodded eagerly before she looked around, wondering what this place has in store for her.

Suisei has finally joined the event! She’s at the booth with Saisei if you’re looking forward to talk with a guardian spirit.

Azira @ Iris: Hello! Nice to meet you, friend! I hope you are having a good time! Do you and your friends want some candy or flowers?

Iris saw the one called Azira approach her with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a tray of treats in the other. “Oh, wow! that looks nice!” she said before bowing politely. “Yeah, this place is doing great so far! I wasn’t planning to pass this up. Oh and about your offer, I’ll take the flowers for myself and give the others some treats to lighten up their mood. Do you come here often? it’d be nice to see you again.” She said before taking several treats from Azira with her psychic powers and the flowers with her hands and headed towards Me(saisei) and Akria with the treats moving in tandem with her body.

Valentine’s ‘Calling Cards’

Saisei, Akira and Iris are in position and ready to answer some questions

Saisei(18): He’s found sitting at a booth trying to not to interact with iris because he knows that she’ll be asking him to study for upcoming tests at their school. He’s thinking about where he and Iris will go next on their adventure, but he will open up to someone who’s friendly and nice. (he’s wearing his comet-shard glove that carries the spirit Suisei, but she’s asleep for most of the event. She will wake up at some point, so be on the lookout for her.) Ask hint: School Days, Competition between Iris and Past adventures

Iris(19): She’ll be wandering around the bar, wondering what she would do with Saisei next at this event. she’s very talkative and will open up to anyone she finds here, so don’t be afraid to ask her about anything. Ask hint: Reason for choosing this event

Akira: They are in the same booth as saisei and reading the book that they got from Saisei’s father, “War Letters.”. Akira won’t open up to others unless they ask someone first or they ask Akira. They are sensitive about their past right now, so don’t ask them about it just yet. Ask hint: Try to gain Akira’s trust before asking them about their history.

Arrival

“This is it!” Iris claimed proudly as we stood at the doors of a pink building that had a sign that said in neon letters: “Valiant Effort’s Lounge”. I sighed before saying: “I better not regret this...” “I see that we’re not the only ones here.” Akira said as we looked inside the window, there were a mixture of pokemon as well as other creatures i don’t recognize, these must be the rumored “Fakemon”... I heard a sigh from the mewtwo behind me and saw that they buried their nose into the "War Letters” book again... I shrugged and groaned. Something tells me that it’ll take time for Akira to open up here... I groaned and told my kirlia friend via telepathy: “If anyone else at school finds out about this...” “They won’t find out. You won’t tell, i won’t tell. OK?” She replied with the same skill before she smiled and I couldn’t help but smile back.  “Now then...” Iris said as she took my right arm with her left. “Let’s make this a proper date, shall we?” I blushed a pretty pink before we opened the doors and went in, with Akira following behind us. 

Saisei, Iris and Akira made it to the Event! (please don’t mistake these three as a love triangle ok?)

Hearts and Letters

“Ugh… how did I wound up in this position?” I groaned as I finished putting a red dress suit that fits a Riolu like me. “Hey, you lost the bet. And you know what happens next, don’t you?” said a stern yet girly voice. I looked at my kirlia friend, Iris with an irritated look. She was wearing a pink dress while combing her red hair. “I know…” I said with a sigh, I told Iris that I was going to get a higher score than her on the exam and I lost by 4%. “...But I’m still bringing Akira along, they’re being so distant from the other pokemon here… so I’m hoping that this ‘Valiant Efforts Valentine's Day Event’ might help them open up a bit.” I said with a determined look after I put on my comet-shard glove. Iris looked perplexed at first but gave it some thought before nodding. “I know that it’s been a few days since you ‘convinced’ it to exit that cave, but still… isn’t it a bit too early for them?” “It won’t be, Akria told me that he’s familiar with pokemon from other dimensions, so this should be a cake-walk for him. Besides he’s already white-skinned with a purple tail so he doesn’t need to wear a suit.” I said with a smile before I exited the room and entered the kitchen where Akira was.

 I saw it floating a few feet off the ground in a meditating position whose face was buried in a book floating in tandem. I didn't recognize it, when I got closer and saw the cover I broke a small sweat. It was a book that my father treasured: War letters, by Andrew Carroll. I cleared my throat and Akria looked up and saw me: before the book snapped shut with it’s psychic powers I saw bold letters which said: “After peace is declared, Lt Lewis Plush reflects in a letter to his parents on the haunting images of war he will never forget.” There was an awkward silence before it was interrupted by Iris who just entered the room. “So… I take it that you like that book?” I said nervously, the mewtwo smiled and nodded. “It’s fascinating, to be honest… you have untold history in this book, history that is never revealed in schools across this world… perhaps it's what they do best: manipulate the kids, tell them their own version of the truth… when there is none.” It said before putting the book away in a red shoulder bag that they were wearing. “So. What do you want to talk about? Judging by your and your friend's appearance, I assume it’s one of those ‘dates’?” It asked with an amusing look. I blushed a pretty pink after hearing that and Iris laughed. “HAHAHAHA!! You’re close! It’s that and…” She said and we explained to them about the valentine’s day event that’s coming soon. 

“I see… so you want me to practice socializing with the other pokemon attending this event?” Akira asked as they exited their meditation pose and their feet touched the floor. I was expecting a ‘no’ when it said the exact opposite: “Sure, I’ll go. But I'll be bringing this with me.” Akira said before tapping the book bag on it’s side. The two of us looked at each other with worry before nodding to each other and I said: “that’s fine, but don’t make trouble with the others, ok?” Iris asked politely and the mewtwo nodded. “Very well, shall we?” Akira asked before they walked out of the kitchen and Iris held my hand before we followed them.

Saisei, Iris and Akira are on their way! It would be appreciated if you can help Akira open up to the other pokemon attending this event! Ask the three anything!
