IT'S A MINIOR SHOWER (SWARM)!


[attr="class","aname2"]
TIME-LIMITED EVENT



[attr="class","ipad"]
[break]

SET BEFORE THE IMPERIOUS INVADER RAIDS:[break][break]

as celestial custodians, minior sweep through the skies, gathering the tiniest specks of detritus and dust to form their sturdy shells. yet, their selfless practice is a sacrificial one. as their vibrant smiles disappear underneath their hardening exteriors, they grow heavy with the burden of their work. it's a sad sight— but beautiful too. with their shells too heavy to bear any longer, the minior begin to plummet from the night sky.[break][break]

falling like stars, they arc toward the ground with dazzling tails. their shells crack open like fortune cookies, revealing their vibrant colorful bodies. but these pokémon will not last long. exposed to the elements of an unfamiliar earth, they will soon expire and fade away.[break][break]

unless you choose to capture one![break][break]

what will you do?
[break][break]


[break][break]

INSTRUCTIONS:
[break][break]

  • only one character of yours may participate.
  • in order to qualify for the capture, you must include the name of a constellation somewhere and BOLD it.
  • write an in-character post of your character attempting to catch the minior with a roll.
  • highest roll will earn the shiny minior; second highest and lowest rolls will also net rewards.
  • the attempted capture will not consume a pokéball.
  • the minior have movesets that will be revealed at the end of the event.
  • this is a time-limited event and will end 3/30 (8:00PM - PST).

It had already been a few months at the very least, by now, he had already fully healed; one might even argue that he's in an even better condition than before. Despite the loss of his limb, he was thankful to live another life.

Mt. Pyre became his refuge for the past few months, he stayed only a few meters shy from its guarded peak. He claimed its hidden mountainside cavern as his temporary home, recollecting his lost strength with each passing day. Tomorrow, he planned his return to civilization; tonight, he chose to appreciate nature.

Light pollution was at its lowest and the skies were clear. He sprawled on top of the grass, stargazing just outside of his temporary shelter. He never really took proper astrology, though he was thought how to read stars. Granted the stars are visible, he's able to determine his own coordinates just by looking at the night sky, something that might help him with his job as a spy should he ever get lost or captured.

Right above him was lyre, or was it LYRA, a constellation. He tried to trace the star formation with his left arm, only to realize that he had none.

"Oh..." He scowled.

Just then, a meteor shower. Like droplets of gold they fell, and it was gorgeous. The sight was absolutely one of a kind, he would've stayed for long if not for the fact that one was hurtling towards his direction. Lucius scurried away as the meteor came closer, crash landing inside the mountainside cavern he called his temporary home. He peeked inside, curious of what it was. Then, it glowed a vibrant hue, lighting the cavern entirely.

It wasn't a metor, it was a pokemon.

Something he was yet to discover. Then it dawned to him, perhaps he could catch it. He had one last pokeball in his person, something he held onto for six long months. He had one shot at it, perhaps it was worth the try.

He threw the ball, hoping to catch the meteor.

She is no stranger to the night sky, it is a familiar creature that she adores with every moment she spends beneath it. Preferring the gentleness of a glowing moon to the overbearing burn of the sun. Even now as she sits upon a rock and doodles on the edges of her papers it distracts her from the constellations she has been sketching to refresh her memory.

The paper in front of her holds the dot to line to dot drawing of the Hydra, the ones prior exhibiting Draco and Crux. She has them imprinted in her head as she does many things, though she has not been able to find all of them in the night sky. Many she's not even sure she's been in a place where she can see them.

Her face turns up to the sky as she watches the lights pass by. Falling, how odd she thinks as they cascade down the sky and somehow seem to come closer before she realizes what she has gotten to witness. The smile that splits her neutral frown apart is one of rare genuine delight. Something pure born only of a child with a lave for the world around her that has not yet been entirely tainted. No, the natural world is so innocent and straight forward to her even if the world of humans is not.

She stands just in time for one to fall nearby and to realize it is not what it seemed. The pokemon is an oddity that somehow seems familiar but not as much as it should be.

Isra finds and throws a pokeball with no hesitation.

Stormy wasn't typically a fan of the dark. She rarely stayed out past the sun's retreat below the horizon, for fear the cold might one day take her out. [break][break]

Fortunately, today was a particularly special one, as several hundred Miniors were falling from the sky. Now, while that was technically a little morbid, because, should they fall and not get picked up and cared for they would perish.. but the beauty was still breathtaking.[break][break]

For this special day, she'd set aside some time to do a little research. Spread out in front of her was a book of stars. It mostly meant nothing to her, aside from the constellation she had labeled with all kinds of sticky notes to remind her to look for it.[break][break]

While she searched the stars for the PHOENIX, she was often distracted by several more Miniors falling. Most of them seemed to fall far away, somewhere else on Hoenn. But she was almost positive the one before her eyes was crashing right in front of her. Stormy would gasp, pushing aside the book and wielding a pokeball.[break][break]

She immediately tossed it, hoping to catch something.[break][break]

Kyle wondered if those things exploded.

he approaches the area where the meteor pokemon fell. under the night sky, their bright colors glowed vibrantly. had he been a romantic at the very least, he would have cared about the destruction of the canis major constellation when one particular one fell out from formation.

on hindsight, if a star did move away from position, maybe what he was looking at wasn't really the thing he thought it was.

it shouldn't matter anyways. kyle knew he knows little about astronomy and his opinion on the matter does not amount to anything relevant. it doesn't mean that he couldn't use it as an excuse to simply chuck a pokeball at one of the minior for the sake of throwing a high-powered pitch at a pokemon.

he throws the pokeball.

The night sky was lit up with the bright twinkle of the stars. Kazimir panted with heavy breathes as he made his way home in a mad dash. Using the pelt of Leo's stars as a compass of sorts he was pretty sure that he was following the right route home. That was when he noticed something weird in the constellation, like its mane was suddenly moving in the sky. Wait that didn't happen right?

As he slowed to a brisker pace that's when things started to make sense, the stars weren't moving, they were falling. The sky was filled with streaks of light that danced around. Kazimir couldn't help but stare, especially at one that looked like it was coming right for him-oh shit! The floor in front of him exploded into a cloud of dust as one landed right at his feet, sending the youth onto his bottom with a thud and a yeowch of pain. As he cleared the dust away from his face he looked at teh small crater that lay before him and was astounded by the moving shaped that seemed to be digging deeper around the dirt.

It was a Pokemon! At least that's what he assumed it to be, what else could it be? With a flick of the wrist he reached into his back pocket to take out a Pokeball and toss it at the creature in an attempt to catch it.

[attr="class","thread"]landon lies back on the grass as he cherishes the quiet. his mother had taught him how to use the stars to guide his way; if he concentrates a bit he can pinpoint the north star in ursa minor. the thought of his family and home brings a sad smile to the man's face, befitting of the scene that's about to come.
[break][break]
one by one they fall. he watches, and wonders how these pokemon must feel, whether they know they are hurtling to an end they don't deserve. he'd heard about them before, an old exploration tale that'd been tossed around the family countless times.
[break][break]
he notices the sudden flash beside him before he hears its cry. landon rolls onto his side to find a minior hovering innocently, just high enough to miss the blades of grass. taking out a pokeball, he gently taps the button against the meteor pokemon.

while he cannot save them all, he can at least try and help this one.

some things are born to die, it's coded into their design. the dark night sky is flecked with stars, and more unusually, streaks of colour — paintbrush strokes against black canvas.

persephone stands alone on an outcropping, eyes alight with wonder. they're so close, she thinks she can hear them whistle as they pass.

solitary even when they're together, the minior choose their own paths as they descend. persephone's eyes fix on a pair, moving together in tandem, a veritable GEMINI in the dark.

one of the pair speeds up at the last moment and hurtles into the earth. solitary, alone, both, neither. she idly tosses an empty capsule at the remaining twin.

some creatures can't bear to be alone.

fragments of light tumbled downwards like the tears of cassiopeia. the teetering motion portrayed a beautiful tale yet one that was destined for end. 

she'd heard of minior in their brief recess before their feeble bodies could no longer stay. it was a moment to admire their dazzle after venturing through space.

but it was indeed very sad

delphi feels that. the slight sorrow festering within her as their light wavers within her eyes. instinctively she reaches for one of many capsules, the object pressed firmly between her pale fingers. 

in not much thought for the outcome— she throws it.

Somewhere, the hills of Mossdeep rolled with salt-kissed grass before the sheer cliffs, dropping straight down to the blue, endless waters that flanked this island on all sides.[break][break]

Zacharias was not the type of man to enjoy this scenery—even when night comes and the sky is suddenly filled with the streaks of light as the Minior make their decent. Some of the surrounding people gasp from the beauty, some gasp at the realization that these creatures would soon die after they shed their shells for the world to see their lustre and glory.[break][break]

His Noivern circled these dark skies, pursuing the falling pokemon as the streaked past him. Like toys, the dragon would sink his claws into their rocky exterior and bat them around; the dragon was uncaring of the minior's distress, only stopping when it was no longer amusing.[break][break]

The Rocket Mercenary does not stop these antics. He was sprawled in the grass, arms crossed beneath his head, and languid. Hoenn was a region that he had yet to familiarize himself with. It still felt alien to him, as alien as the meteor pokemon as they return to earth from their lofty domains.[break][break]

Pisces could be traced in the stars above—he can recognize it because someone had once held his hand, guiding his finger to trace its outline. They had been sprawled out in the grass, just like how he was now, weren't they?[break][break]

He furrowed his brow, uncaring of the unconscious Minior that sunk into the ground next to him.[break][break]

An empty capsule was tossed with a wave of the hand, uncaring of the result.[break][break]

MINIOR SWARM (II)

life is full of ups and downs. there are days you love life, the way you live it, and there are days you hate it. for vanna she finds herself all over the spectrum from day to day.

tonight, though, she's grateful.

she watches the minior shower from the branches of a tree. the sight is magical, perhaps the most beautiful thing she's seen in years. the colors streaking across the sky and the closeness she feels to it all almost bring tears to her eyes.

watching them fall she wants to imagine they'll rise anew like some cosmic phoenix. her eyes trace the path of one flying even closer to the earth than its siblings, and when it crashes only some few meters away she's forced to watch the death of that fantasy in real time.

vanna feels like a true child when she approaches it and the little crater it made. her heart squeezes watching its shell give way to brilliant color, which begins to fade as soon as it's exposed.

the thought that she may be watching it die crosses her mind and suddenly she's rummaging through her backpack for a pokeball.

she tosses it gently onto the minior. she'll help it rise again.

"thank you."

the doors to the space center slide shut behind him. leaving with more questions than answers, there is nothing left for alexander in mossdeep.

his gaze draws him towards the night sky, at the many stars that shine amongst the sea of deep blue. he is reminded of his father, who used to bring him to the edge of hoenn to gaze up at the stars. he remembers being drawn to DORADO because of its beauty and how there is beauty even in the simplest of things.

alexander smiles, remisnicing.

the stars on this night are not the usual. they are minior, destined to fall and die as they have served their purpose in life.

he takes out a pokeball and throws it at one, hoping to capture the moment.

In a way, she's like a minior. Once the concept of death is accepted, all that is left is a carcass moving and working relentlessly for a goal.

[break][break]

A meteor shower, they call it. Humanity does have a penchant for giving poetic names to terrible things.

[break][break]

Something, a speckle, covers the brightest star in the

Corona Borealis

. Erin's wistful expression doesn't falter even when she catches sight of that particular minior. Falling to its death, but fighting against it with all its might.

[break][break]

She's not sure what takes over her when she tosses the pokéball at it.

[break][break]

Death is inevitable. Death comes to all. When death comes to find her and take back all the time she's stolen, she doesn't plan to stop it. Until then, Erin continues her fight.

cait craned her neck to peer at the lengthy stretch of sky, the young woman enraptured by the stars above. it made for an astonishingly beautiful sight and she found herself settling upon the soft grass to gaze upon its majesty. it was surprising when she observed the fall of multiple pokemon, their forms positively dazzling as they breached that which separated the earth from the sky.  

"those are..."

the names of these strange creatures was lost to her as she blinked owlishly up at scutum constellation.

'it's almost like they don't belong down here.'

they were like stars that had somehow fallen from their place in the heavens. 

'maybe i should try catching one?' 

she considered the idea for a moment before producing a pokeball and giving it a little toss.

If one thought about it, Vya wasn't unlike a Minior.

The real him was hidden beneath an exterior, pulled together by what was around him. A name, an appearance, a gender - all fake, all created. Ready to fall apart if pressure was put on just the right spots. Not that he ever intended to allow such a thing to happen; he never intended to allow anyone to see his core, the core that had fizzled out and died some years ago.

Far, far above, so far away that he has a hard time believing it's possible, the constellations gleamed and blinked. He didn't know a lot of them, had never cared to learn. But there, there was Aquila the Talonflame, he had learned that one from his brother.

And... and Aquila's beak was plummeting, falling towards him. Vya leaped to his feet, running backwards and summoning Motyga. The Rotom darted erratically before him, sparking and glitching, as it took in the thing that had crashed. A Minior, and an injured one at that. Clearly, not a threat. So Vya grabbed a Poke Ball, and tapped it to the Minior.
