A gentle and pleasant walk through the woods, Howitzer at his side. The smell of spring is out in full force, a fanciful palate of aromas wafting through the air as they brush past shrubbery and tickling fields of grass. As they make their way towards his gracidea seed, Howitzer comes across a colorful daisy. She brushes her nose against this particularly heavy specimen hanging over the path, letting out a hearty sneeze just moments after. AchWOOF![break][break]

"Heh, you alright girl?" He'd missed how goofy she was.[break][break]

Up ahead of them the path grew darker, where the trees denied the light's passage and the grass became sparse, and the cobwebs of an Ariados now clung feebly to this mirkwood—waiting to be blown away. It is here that he's placed the seed, hoping the damp, unused soil would be a fertile grounds for the seed's beginnings. Only, he'd fully expected to have to relocate it after it sprouted.[break][break]

That would not appear to be the case, he shortly realizes after crossing the threshold to where he'd buried the seed, noting the full bloom of a hibiscus flower. Him and Howitzer stood there, watching as breaks in the tree's canopy allowed godrays into the forest, which glinted off its surface. "See that, girl? That's why we're here—"[break][break]

Lowering her nose to the earth she padded forward straight for the gracidea in bloom, and for a moment he worried she might eat it, reaching out in mild alarm vainly just as her wet dog nose pressed against a single petal covered in morning dew. But before either could react further—[break][break]

Something sprang to life in that moment, as the tree's canopy seemed to shift and its lumbering branches began to groan, allowing a wave of light to come surging over the nearby flora. Grass sprouts began ascending from littles pores in the soil, and flowers began to twirl from out of unseen shoots, vibrant and almost lively in their sudden emergence. Adrian felt his leg jerk away, but he remained enthralled by the beauty of the floral arrangements. Howitzer padded backwards from the original flower, looking up to Adrian and back expectantly, until he realized that a single white stone had emerged from the earth.[break][break]

More of a tablet really, dusted in loose soil...[break][break]

What's it got on there, he steps forward on an impulse.

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS




BEFORE YOU, THE STONE LAYS BARE. However, if you were to look closely, you would begin to see the words beginning to etch themselves on the top of the stone. As morsels of stone fall from its pristine face to reveal a simple command:[break]

TO WHOM ARE YOU THANKFUL?


Flowers begin to visibly grow around the rock, curling gently like affectionate bracelets. They curve toward the rock face like arrows.

OBJECTIVE:


STONE WRITING


write a post that has your trainer inscribing the NAME of a character they are thankful to. You may tag another player character, or a significant NPC. Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

will respond with another MOD POST detailing what happens next alongside your next step.

When the last of the dirt caking the stone's surface falls away, he discovers a question in the engraving, which is in and of itself quite peculiar: 'To whom are you thankful?'[break][break]

I should really be used to this whack-o kind of crap by now, Adrian thinks to himself in exasperation.[break][break]

But playing along was the name of the game. Seating himself upon a nearby boulder while bluegrass and prairie dropseed flourished along the forest floor, he takes a moment to meditate on an answer. Already he could consider naming Howitzer, with whom he was recently reunited. And then there was the one responsible... Father Winter. The man had abandoned him to a strange world, fodder for the pursuant assassins hunting him since the Star Soiree. I should really look into that more, his mind interjects while dismissing this villain as one who might receive his thanks. But to be truthful, the gamble had been worth its stakes; it's not like he wasn't thankful.[break][break]

But in this, perhaps the feeling should be pure, no?[break][break]

Adrian carves the name without much more consideration. Someone he was thankful for being there, who could stand on their own but knew when to stand with him... Who had within them a passion for pokemon to match his own, and a readiness to explore new places and activities on a whim...[break][break]

Someone who had waited on him through thick and thin, and exhausted themselves in seeing to his needs and wants... Not to mention they gave incredibly good—Ahem[break][break]

[break][break]

As he lays the flat of his palm against the coarse texture of the tablet, he cannot help but make note of its contrast to the smooth complexion and delicate touch of a certain someone's hand intertwined with his own.[break][break]

Ironically, 'thankful' didn't scratch the surface of his feelings for them, but it served his purpose well enough.

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS



THE STONE ACCEPTS YOUR NAME(S). Suddenly, the wind billows around you, carrying with it, the softest spring scent. Petals are cradled in these gossamer gales. Colors swirl around, the displaced flowers like gentle jewels painted by nature's own brush.[break]

The GRACIDEA FLOWER is uprooted. Gently. It beckons for you to take it carefully within your hands. As soon as you do, a path of flowers erupts from the stone's northern face. It extends far and into the air. A magical bridge connects Hoenn to a fantastical place hidden by the power of canonized gratitude.

Follow the bridge. Quickly, before it disappears underneath your feet.

OBJECTIVE:


THE FLOWER PATH


write a post that has your trainer's pokemon using A SPEED STAT BOOSTING MOVE to help their trainer keep on the flowering path. after, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

will respond with another MOD POST detailing what happens next alongside your next step.

Only a moment passes him by as the name settles into the stone, when the winds whip up around him, tousling the budding flowers and rolling through the fresh grass in ripples and waves. A scent of morning dew that touches upon some deep seated nostalgia—recollections from a bygone youth—fill his nostrils as the forces of nature conspire to lead him further along this path. The gracidea flower uproots itself, gently tipping itself towards him before its weight begins to bring it toppling over, Adrian rushing with hands cupped to break its fall.[break][break]

It's a dainty thing that he handles with exaggerated fragility, wishing not to desecrate it with a thoughtless tough or tear. Howitzer follows up alongside Adrian, gesturing with its muzzle towards a track leading heavenswardly, an aromatic breeze tugging him in its direction. The petals tremble with its torrent, and a sense of urgency seems to overtake Howitzer as she runs ahead without him. "Howitzer!?"[break][break]

Adrian lurches forward to dart after his wayward canine when he realizes he isn't keeping pace. The grove beneath his feet feels softer with every step, and in his panick he wonders if it's going to collapse with him on it. Grasping the gracidea flower in one hand, the other rummages for a pokeball, sending out a Murkrow that flaps after him curiously. Adrian cried out: "A LITTLE HELP HERE!"[break][break]

The pokemon swooped around him as he scaled the byway's height, almost as if it was mocking him and his terrestrial limitations, but every movement feels a little lighter and more natural as he continues to break ground following along in Howitzer's footsteps.

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS




YOU FOLLOW THE FLORAL BRIDGE. With every step, the flowers spring out beneath you taking root in nothing but air. However, the garden trail behind you disappears. Flowers fade into green bokeh— perhaps, the residue of some fantastical grass-type energy. By the end of this seemingly endless trail, you find yourself seemingly high above the clouds. And in a secluded airborne island.

In its center, the island's field is filled with GRACIDEA FLOWERS, but there are stretches of dirt that are devoid of any plant. Any root. However, something stirs in the flowery abode.



Whatever it is, you are compelled to find it with your own GRACIDEA FLOWER in hand.

OBJECTIVE:


STONE WRITING


write a post that has your trainer's pokemon using ODOUR SLEUTH or SWEET SCENT to find the hidden Shaymin. You must also find the Shaymin in the image above. Once you have found it, please DM or PM on Discord or the Site with the location of the Shaymin.

Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

They reach the top, and Adrian discovers the meaning of vertigo. On a terrace high in the clouds, overlooking the undae of Hoenn surrounded by ocean on all sides, he wonders where and how this place came to be. Looking back, the pathway begins to erode gradually, leaving them trapped. It's not something he feels exactly good about, so he decides to prepare a contingency.[break][break]

"Murkrow, come back," he withdraws the raven in exchange for its Galarian equivalent, a massive Corviknight adorned in black lustrous feathers. "Keep an eye out for me, eh? Don't wanna take a tumble if this thing goes." The knightly creature gave a shrill shriek before taking off with in a gale. Adrian swore he heard the flowers rustling, but it must've just been the wind from flapping wings...[break][break]

And then it happened again, while all else was still.[break][break]

"Howie, check that out, will you?" Obedient to a fault, she inhaled a deep whiff of air to try and catch a scent from the sea of aromas wafting about. If anyone could make the distinction, he knew it would be Howie. She had a nose that could find anything, if it was there to be found.[break][break]

Her wet, doggy nose plowed through the grove as she closed in on the source of a distinctive fragrance emanating from the garden. C'mon girl, you can do it...[break][break]

Her tail wagged and her forward advance halted suddenly, before she exclaimed with a bark and bounded forward.

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS




A SMALL HEDGEHOG EMERGES FROM THE FLOWERS. Lured or identified by you and your Pokémon's efforts, a Shaymin graces you with its gentle presence. In fact, several Shaymin appear from the kaleidoscope of petals and stem; however, one seems to take the reins by trotting right up to your feet.



The Shaymin raises its snout to the UPROOTED GRACIDEA FLOWER in your hands. With a swift pivot, the Gratitude Pokémon leads you to a stretch of loamy soil. It appears as if the Shaymin wants you to re-plant your flower there...

OBJECTIVE:


STONE WRITING


write a post that has your trainer's Pokémon using ROTOTILLER to plant the Gracidea Flower.

Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

A look of concern flashes over his eyes as the swarm of Shaymin appear from out of the grass. Howitzer seems intrigued by the first one it finds, but hesitates to investigate further when the flowering fields around them suddenly erupt into a multitude of the Gratitude pokemon all at once. They are seemingly innocent and docile, though one pads over to Adrian on a mission, raising its snout towards the flower cradled in his palm. "You want... this?"[break][break]

With a nod and a yip to confirm his question, it then led him down a path, to a stretch of loamy soil as yet untouched by the verdant growth surrounding them. The creature known as Shaymin looked to him expectantly, its muzzle gesturing to the unused land. "I'm not exactly a gardener," he interjected, but the creature gave him a piercing stare.[break][break]

"Alright, alright..." Before setting the flower down in a pile of dirt without any know-how, he decided to pull on experience. Releasing a Mudsdale from his collection, he recalls the day he acquired it: Helping corrale some pokemon on a ranch. His reward had been a Mudbray, if he had not been mistaken. When releases the pokemon brays noisily before calming itself down. Was it the aroma...?[break][break]

"Mudsdale, can you help us out?" Adrian raises the flower, gesturing to the patch of untilled soil with his head, while the Shaymin scuttle about in the undergrowth.[break][break]

After stamping about the earth to scare the Shaymin away, that it might clear its work space, the Mudsdale gets to work; hooves like iron gouge into the earth and shift the soil, grinding it into a softer, almost clay-like texture compared to the dusty surface dirt. Adrian covers his mouth while the task is carried out, and notices how the Mudsdale seems at peace during the toil and trouble of it.[break][break]

Once done, the horse continues to trot about while inspecting its work, before stamping a single foot at its chosen spot, and bringing Adrian over towards it, brushing its snout against him when he doesn't budge at first.[break][break]

"Ok, I'm going... Sheesh." Adrian carefully approaches, lowering himself to the ground, his knees impressed upon the soft earth while he scoops some dirt aside, allowing him to bury the root and stem into the earth before covering it in fertile soils. "...There." He looks to Shaymin.

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS




AS YOU PLANT YOUR GRACIDEA FLOWER, the soil takes the roots graciously. This burgeoning plot is adorned with more color. More life. Seeing that you have accomplished a job well done, the Shaymin faces you in gratitude— and in contest.



It's green grass-like fur bristles. The flowers on its body open more wide, revealing their deepest colors. You gain the sense that the Shaymin would like to battle you to see if you are worthy of its companionship. However, there is a caveat outlined by the other hedgehogs.

You must not damage the flowers. You must fight with grace and care— but this does not mean the Shaymin is an easy fight. Crying out, it fires a potent SEED FLARE at you, a shockwave of energy bursting from its small body and stopping right before the gracidea.

BATTLE SHAYMIN:


CAREFUL OF THE FLOWERS!


WITH EVERY POST, make a ROLL. you must hit or surpass a total of 100 to successfully battle the Shaymin without damaging the flowers. Afterward, you will be allowed to capture it!

Post in MODERATION REQUESTS once you have completed this step. will respond with another MOD POST detailing what happens next.

It was a beautiful thing to see. Howitzer trotted around the aromatic flowers while the Shaymin praised the new addition, all the while their de facto representative eyed Adrian intently. For a moment he's caught up in the revelry, when the pokemon makes its position clear. A battle. A battle to determine whether he was worthy to tend their grove. A battle to determine he wasn't another reckless hotshot of a trainer unfit to share in their floral delights...[break][break]

"So that's how it is...? Alright; Howitzer, let's go!"[break][break]

It would be their first battle together since they came through the rift. She seemed to perk up at his rallying call, forgetting herself for a moment as she padded over to him before taking up position. Without warning, the Shaymin loosed a powerful GRASS-TYPE attack that he couldn't immediately recognize by sight alone. "Blitz 'em, Howie!"[break][break]

Her forward momentum carried into a devastating attack, but as she whipped around the fields, the Shaymin all around them gasped as the flowers were tugged with the violent gusts of wind from her movements.[break][break]

"Mind the flowers!" It wouldn't do to trample what they'd only just planted; they needed to cultivate this trust. Perhaps he shouldn't use fire, either... That held him back.

A tangle of vines and sapping seeds careens through the air, thrown like a net over Howitzer where she stood; LEECH SEED undermined their offense while boosting the Shaymin's defense. Their audience of hedgehogs hoot and yip in approval, cheering on their cohort while Adrian curses the circumstances he finds himself in. What should they do about the devil's snare all around her?[break][break]

"Shake 'em loose!" But it was no good, she could not break free, and what's more is it hampered her movement. But still, he would rather not raze their precious field to the ground, as it would only ruin the gratitude they reserved for him. He would not command her to set this fabled grove ablaze, if only to satisfy his pride and ego. The other Shaymin began encroaching on Howie, perhaps falsely sensing weakness. If only he were not so merciful...[break][break]

"Howie, show 'em your fangs!" At once she SNARLED, and he felt his gut sink; a primordial beast's guttural roar a source of utmost fear that had been hardwired in human DNA since they first shared the earth with these magical creatures. Even the most resolute of Shaymin that stood up to her had been cowed by the dominance display, fearing her immediate reprisal. But would that last?[break][break]

Seeing that their offensive options were limited, Adrian saw to it became a battle of attrition. Whereas Shaymin could not deal a meaningful blow, neither could Howitzer, and so was their stalemate. But as the Shaymin stole their vitality, Howitzer was not without a means to replenish the lost power. The sun was its very own font of energy.[break][break]

"Bask up those rays; don't let 'em wear you down!" Her secret weapon as that of the MORNING SUN, allowing her to replenish lost stores of stamina and vitality by simply soaking up the warmth of starlight. In other circumstances the ability could extend to others, but as of now they had no need. They were simply stalling for time enough to make a breakthrough; to turn the tables on their hosts of the hedge.[break][break]

Shaymin did not make it easy. It too absorbed the sun's warmth, forming an ENERGY BALL with which to strike the stationary target as Howitzer STRUGGLED against her bindings, refusing to be captive to them any longer.[break][break]

With a sudden burst of might that seemed almost surreal, Howitzer broke her bonds before bounding for the bewildered Shaymin with a look of absolute ZEAL...[break][break]

GRACIDEA QUEST


GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS




DESPITE THE FEROCITY OF YOUR BATTLE, the Gracidea remain intact. The flowers swing gently in the aftermath's breeze like waving spectators. Before you, the Shaymin brushes off the debris of your contest with a little shake. Its own flowers remain vibrant and open— symbolic of their acceptance of the bond shared between you and your Pokemon.

Behind you, the floral bridge begins to reform in the air. It spirals toward the earth like a spring wedding's garland, carrying with it the scent of fresh blooms. The petals seemingly face you, beckoning for you to return.

Similarly, the Shaymin awaits its capsule. Whether you decide to capture it here or on the ground is your choice.

CONGRATULATIONS!:


YOU DEFEATED LAND FORME SHAYMIN!


THE LAND FORME SHAYMIN is now able to be caught with one of your pokeballs. you may decide their moveset like a gachapon pokemon (e.g. 6 learnset moves) and add them to your PCs.

This Shaymin can not shift into its Sky Forme yet.

Feel free to post once more or post in MODERATION REQUESTS for archival.

Adrian and Howitzer seemed to have passed whatever test it was the Shaymin put them through, the shrubby critters backing off at the sight of Howitzer's boundless ferocity. But just as quickly she returned to her docile, loving self, brushing up against Adrian's legs after settling matters.[break][break]

All of the Shaymin lowered their heads in acknowledgement of the one who had tended to their grove, before erecting a path upon which they could safely make their descent. And to see them on their way, the Shaymin that had battled them acted escort, and the ground beneath them did not buckle or dissipate soon enough as to make them rush needlessly. The Hoenn beneath them was a beauty...[break][break]

A lush canvas of greenery surrounded by cerulean seas; an emerald jewel and a font of life.
[break]

When they reached the end of the line, the Shaymin did not make the return voyage. Adrian turned to it and gave his thanks, expecting to wave it off, but instead it stood there. Watching and waiting... Following his every step closely.[break][break]

"...I guess you're wanting to come with me, eh?"[break][break]
