You can smell the change on the brisk autumn's air! Or is that maybe the campfire smoke?
[break][break]

FORTREE CAMPGROUNDS



You are bathed in the amber glow of Fortree's Campgrounds, surrounded by bonfires and campsites of many other trainers gathering in a classic Hoennian pastime: Bonfire Bonding! Perhaps you came alone or with friends, but it matters not—you'll undoubtedly make some new ones along the way![break][break]

A chorus of Nincada and a harsh breeze surround you as well as the beaming smiles of campgoers enjoying the festivities. Many clutch eggs closely against themselves to keep them warm, while others dare to place them within reach of the bonfire's licking flames. Somewhere in the throng of guests is your character, enjoying the moment along with people and pokemon alike.[break][break]

The SCOUTMASTER supervises the entire grounds, making regular sweeps to make sure no ILLICIT or INAPPROPRIATE activities take place. He is also there to give friendly advice on the best ways to pitch a tent or to strike a flint, if you're curious![break][break]

But as the evening draws out into the twilight hours, eventually nightfall swallows up the sky, and you are forced closer and closer still to those sources of warmth and kinship. Perhaps you even have a campfire of your own, or a tent with your name on it...[break][break][break][break][break][break]

SURVIVAL SKILLS:


The SCOUTMASTER hopes to ensure all of his campers are prepared to survive in a harsh environment before he feels comfortable leaving you unsupervised in his campgrounds. He insists you demonstrate your survivor skills by completing the prompts as they are provided! Participation is not conditional on completing the prompts, but it is encouraged![break][break]

ROUND #1's REWARD is a move learner that can teach any applicable FIRE-TYPE move to a single pokemon. Can only be redeemed once per player.
[break][break][break][break][break][break]

(#1) KEEPING WARM!


You are tasked with starting a BONFIRE with which to keep yourself and others warm, or relying on pokemon to keep yourselves warm as the growing winds begin to batter the campsite.[break][break]

You will need either the ability FLASH FIRE, FLAME BODY or MAGMA ARMOR, or the move EMBER, FIERY DANCE or WILL-O-WISP to pass this prompt. You do not necessarily need to use these ICly to achieve the desired outcome, but you must have them.[break][break]

"right!"

matias claps his hands together as he stands, moving over to the center of the circle before gesturing down at the bonfire. or the lack of one, really, but that's soon to change.

"i'll need some help with starting this bonfire. anyone have pokemon that can help?"

like his own magmortar who stands grinning behind him. but in its defense, it's always grinning. it's just how its mouth is shaped.

Once you're done gathering your fuel, set a few of the twigs down and light it up with an Ember. Then before the smaller fire goes out, add the logs in a circle and make sure not to let the light die down.

It comes to her as naturally as breathing air, almost as if the blood of an arsonist trickles through her veins. Drawn to the scared spirit that guards the flames, Eris watches as the holy beast roars and flickers in the pit. Every now and then, her Litten will stoke the fire with a gentle breath and soon enough, the main gang shows back up with a bag of firewood in tow.

A small Will-o-Wisp flame floated into the bonfire, slowly lighting it until the small blue flame was enveloped by a large orange fire. Curious how an ice-type like a Froslass could create fire, or would even be comfortable around one, but Hideo wouldn’t question it much; it was a windy night, and any warmth would be appreciated.

He could overhear ’s request - and it wouldn’t hurt to help someone else with theirs. “Mind giving him a hand?” he asked his Pokemon, the Froslass nodding as she floated her way over to the man’s bonfire, adding a Will-o-Wisp to it so he could enjoy some warmth.

And it wasn’t like she was leaving him alone; Hideo had his Ariados with them, the large spider cuddling close to her trainer.

Far from those that huddle near the fledgling fires in hopes of solace from the brisk autumn winds, Gavin strips off his blazer and allows the breeze to caress his exposed skin. It's not like Circhester, not even close, but it's... nice.

Someone calls for aid in lighting a fire of their own, and the shift of his gaze stutters with recognition.

.

But he's here with to enjoy himself, to relax, and so he tucks away the sharpness that bristles down his spine and breathes..

A gentle click of his tongue is buried in the crackling fire and rustling of leaves, but his sharp-eared Delphox hears him all the same. A wave of her wand sends WILL-O-WISPS dancing toward the gathered logs, the shadowy quality of the flame surely a trick of the light.

With a slow exhale, Gavin leans his head against 's shoulder and lifts his chin in silent greeting should catch his eye.

The campgrounds are unexpectedly lively, he noted as he moved through the bushes, finishing off his hike. A little cat perched itself on his shoulder lazily clinging onto him and waiting for their final resting spot. Was this an event, maybe? He preferred nature because of the silence and the isolation. That's the draw. Then again...a cold chill crept up his back. Half the work had been dealt with if the gathering group could manage to light the fire.

"Ya'll need more firewood?" He asked before awkwardly lifting his hand to give a wave to the group. His eyes flickered from each stranger, briefly recognizing from a contest had been in, and from the soiree. He looked over the pokemon present, noting at least Reiner looked well enough after the fiasco of a part. He sighed through his nose as he felt a bit of pressure release.

The will-o-wisp began to catch the sticks on fire, and Paxton got to work making himself useful. "I got it." He said to the Luxray, crouching down to open the bag he'd retrieved and tossing some bits in. "Good to see you two runts, livelier than before at least." He added. This felt nicer, normal. No weird sadness or crying. He was tired of thst kind of feeling. Ollie meanwhile is more than ready to socialize. He hopped off Paxton's shoulder once close enough and began to wander, starting with a soft hiss at the Luxray. Once again, asserting himself against the bigger cat.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]Joy fills her much like how it would a child and their favourite plushie. Clambering to her feet, Eris quickly dusts herself off before darting over towards Matias, tackling him gently with a big hug.
[break][break]
"Didn't expect to see you here!" She smiles, looking up at him whilst bouncing on her tiptoes. "You know how Will-o-wisps are like... said to be spirits of the lake! Or well, that's what momma used to tell me in the past... If you see them in a forest, following them can lead you to a witch's hut!"
[break][break]
But of course, her attention doesn't solely linger on Matias, especially when its drawn in 4 directions at the same time. She'll return 's lift of his chin with a small wave, immediately turning to to give him a headpat before gently punching in the shoulder.
[break][break]
"I'm not a runt! I can fight a whole pack of Ursaring bare-handed! Or is it bear-handed... Anyways, you get what I mean!" Her finger flicks to Matias and she bears such a look of pride. "I'd even beat Matias in arm wrestling if I used my full power!"
[break][break]
In regards to Ollie's attempt to assert dominance, Reiner raises a brow, raising a paw and promptly flooring the kitten with a gentle slap on the back. To stop him from attempting anything else, the Luxray keeps his hold on the gremlin, snorting softly whenever he protests or squirms.

"some more firewood would be good, thanks."

matias doesn't recognize the stranger (), which only means introductions are in order. he extends his hand towards the other.

"matias. good to meet you."

with the help of and his WILL-O-WISP, the bonfire soon ignites, illuminating a warm radiance that quickly spreads around them. he exhales, suddenly content as he gives the boy a thumbs-up.

"thanks!"

only to be tackled by moments later. well, hugged, really, but he pretends to stumble back from the impact if only to sell his point.

"eris! you almost knocked me to the ground."

he chuckles, meeting her bright gaze with one of his own.

"i think i see some floating nearby...wanna follow them?"

but his attention's pulled away as well, this time to a couple who seems to know eris. he recognizes the gym leader , but not his partner.

still, he offers them a wave.

"it's true. eris is very strong."

The first voice he heard wasn’t one that he recognized, but they were offering him some more firewood, so who was he to object? “Sure,” Hideo said to ’s offer. “Doesn’t hurt to make the fire rise a bit.” He could trust his Pokemon to keep an eye out in case things got out of control.

Before he could respond to the “runt” comment, Eris came by, first delivering a headpat unto Hideo (was that a habit she was getting from ?) before objecting to the term. “No reason to be down in front of a nice campfire,” Hideo said, “And we sure ain’t runts! I’ve grown almost five centimeters since last year!

And he only had more to grow!

His Froslass nodded as thanked her. She floated back towards Hideo as Eris tackle-hugged the man, grinning at the sight, spotting ’s Delphox let out some Will-o-Wisps of her own from the corner of her eye. A beautiful sight to go with this beautiful full moon.

Yeah, Eris is a lot tougher than anyone I know!” It was kinda crazy how much stuff he’d learned she went through; he didn’t think he could handle even half of it. “She even helped save me from a Sylveon once!

“I’d wager any Will-o-wisps you see are more likely a Pokémon trying to eat you,” Locke interjected dryly as he and the Delibird (and one out-of-place Piplup) arrived with armfuls of kindling. “Speaking from experience at least…”

Seeing the fire already well-tended to for the moment, they stacked sticks and twigs next to Chiro-Chiro’s makeshift nest, where the Talonflame was dutifully warming an egg with his Flame Body. De-De immediately led the flock in a rush to greet and , and to crowd curiously around the two less familiar faces with them.

Locke still stared at the bonfire for a bit, before finally realizing what was bothering them about it. “Ah, you guys forgot the rocks. To keep the logs in place? They’ll slide all over once they start breaking apart.” They tried scanning the immediate area for some decent-sized stones, hoping they wouldn’t have to make another trip into the woods for some.

The flame body of his Chandelure was keeping him nice and toasty, even as fall started to set in with the crisp weather. It would never be cold in Hoenn, not truly, but for someone born and raised in the region, even this slight dip in temperature was a drastic one.

Temp had been busy making sure the tent was all set up and that the leaves were piled up away from the path. Wood gathered, tent ready for cuddling, a nice warm blanket laid out for watching the stars later.... He sat down and pressed a quick and pleased kiss to 's cheek, unaware of the murderous intent but pleased with the physical affection he's given. Most of his running around had been for Gavin, in his own way; he both wanted to impress the other with his outdoor prowess as well as give Gavin a good reason to sit down and rest.

he doesn't know personally but he still raised his hand to wave. May as well be polite to his coworkers even if he was still a relatively new Gym Leader. Another quick peck on the cheek when the Scoutmaster wasn't looking and his Chendelure joined her own will o wisp with the Delphox's.

"You ready for a fat weenie in your mouth, cutie?" A grin. "And maybe a hot dog after?"

[attr=class,bulk][break]Fallen leaves and twigs snapped under his feet, too audible to be mistaken for the crackling of any fires that may have been started by the time of his arrival. Stepping out from the late evening forest that obscured his approach, the ranger crests on his attire were easy to discern should his face be unknown to them.

"Looks like you're all jumping right in. Good." Returning from a small patrol on the outer boundaries of the campgrounds here in Fortree, Derek let out a small sigh while slinging the rucksack off his back. Revealed upon it's opening were some more logs of moderate size to add to the base of the pile. A pokeball plucked from it's holster would release an Arcanine temporarily, a swift application of it's flash fire causing them to ignite.

"By the way, I heard someone say something about hot dogs. You got enough to share?" Pacing around the forest caused Derek to gain an appetite, and unless he abandoned the group to go to the ranger's lodge to eat...

Adrian helps to put the finishing touch on their bonfire, shifting logs together into a rigid cone at the center of their plot. Many of the other campers are already fast at play, enjoying the festivities. He's out here doing the hard work, but he was the one who wanted a roaring bonfire before settling in... "Is there any more kindling?"

Adrian shifts his attention to Rowan and their Prinplup, making sure they have enough to get a healthy blaze going. Nobody liked having to restart a fire, and he was doing his best to avoid using lighter fluid. It ruined the nostalgic smell of burning wood. Once he was sure everything was in place, he let loose a Volcarona.

"Why don't you enjoy yourself a little?"

It relished perhaps its first opportunity to be free of its pokeball, performing a lively FIERY DANCE that caused embers and flames to lick at the bonfire as it circled overhead, before it roared to life, giving off a sweltering heat. He took a few steps back, and it along with the night's chill found a comfortable equilibrium. Cozy.

“Glad you know what you’re doing.” Roughing out in the woods wasn’t his expertise, considering he wasn’t allowed to go camping in the wilderness growing up. Nostalgia still lingered in his mind, however. Fond memories were recalled of nights sleeping underneath the stars with Mistral, from the tent that he’d set up on the sprawling landscape of the Wrynn estate.

A small shiver rocked his body as Rowan moved closer to the flames, Mistral doing the same. “Come warm me up, handsome.” There was a small tease in his voice, pleased that the heavier clothing and layers would allow them some semblance of physical contact.

It's Marshmallow time.


"Yeah, she's pretty tough! Got a killer spike; damn near took my head off back in the tourney."

A hand fell atop 's head, ruffling his hair for the second time that night before a gasp of shock was released.

"What the?" Uttered one Doug Sullivan, looking perplexed.

He continued to ruffle Hideo's hair experimentally, pursing his lips for a moment before narrowing his eyes at .

"These tiny little shifts... Eris, did ya steal my thunder?" He said, running over at her before his hand fell atop her head as well, ruffling her hair wildly. "Ya little runt, let's see how you like it!"

Once Eris' hair had been sufficiently punished, he turned his gaze to the rest of the group gathered near the fire, tipping his straw hat at them.

"'Ello, Mr. Elite 4. I'm whooping yer ass on national TV next month. Look forward to it." He 'greeted' good ol' with a friendly grin, before swiveling his gaze to .

What a pretty person.

"Don't think we're acquainted yet! Pleasure to meet'cha- Doug Sullivan!"

Meanwhile his Centiskorch, the only pokemon he had arrived with, casually wound itself around the bonfire, taking the place of the stones one would use before quickly falling asleep as it kindled the flame.
