It hadn’t been that long since he’d last seen Alexei, but still, to Memo, it seemed like eons. Stomach awash with nerves, he traced the fine burn scars on his hands, a lingering memento from Xerneas and its strange manifestation in Littleroot; they were mostly healed, now, but sometimes he still felt a nascent ache, the remnants of soft skin, and the dying of some sort of innocence, if Memo's ever had any.
[break][break]
He’d collected new scars to match, it seemed. The back of his neck and all down his spine was still raw and reddened from ducking beneath the fire blast of an angry, brainwashed Salamence, though his shirt and jacket hid most of the damage. He pulled his collar up, just to be sure.
[break][break]
Same bat time, same bat channel, had been Memo’s parting words-- a promise? Or something. They were going to meet here, at least; close to where they last ran into each other. Or, well, where Acero ran into Alexei. Not the best time.
[break][break]
But here they’d left their Gracidea seeds, all those weeks ago. And here, they’d started to bloom-- not just bloom, but flourish, as Zuza ducked her snow-white head to drag her soft muzzle over the brilliant, shimmering blush flowers. She was taller, now, her candy-striped horn now more a lance than a bud; but she was still the same, gentle being she’d always been.
[break][break]
Between her shoulder-blades, Besa the Sandshrew clung to strands of her purple thistle and mint-colored mane, near where Memo threaded his fingers through it, gaze flipping between anxiously searching the horizon, and looking down at the Gracidea flowers.

If Alexei was being honest with himself, he’d clean forgotten about those weird seeds he’d gotten.

Thankfully there was someone who reminded him about them—bless really. Who knew what was going to happen when they planted the seeds? Wait, who was going to take care of them if he was busy all the way in Fortree attending to the myriad of challengers who came by the Gym?

Oh no, he would make a very bad plant parent…

Thankfully someone had the foresight of contacting him so they could take a look at their plants and see what was going to happen…

And for some strange reason, he’d brought along a couple of Sharpie markers. He didn’t know why, though. Well, it never hurt to have extra emergency supplies on his person…

“Hey. Uh… sorry about… sorry about the freak out,” he said ever so quietly, noticing that there was now a literal unicorn prancing around the area. Was that—

“What happened to Zuza?”

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.

Alexei appeared like a saint to the blind and a whole metric ton of weighted anxiety lifted off from Memo’s shoulders. He gave Zuza’s mane an affectionate tug and tilted his head at the blonde, a smile lighting up his features.
[break][break]
“Did you forget where we planted them?” he asked, gesturing down at the sweeping field of Gracidea blooms that had taken off during their absence. Memo wondered if Alex had tried to forget, given that the ground had first been watered in the hemophiliac’s blood during a traumatic and stress-inducing accident.
[break][break]
No steel birds today, just Zuza and little Besa, the former of which whickered happily when she saw Alex. She stepped forward to greet him, being careful not to traipse on the brilliant blooms, and pressed her soft muzzle into his chest, just over his heart.
[break][break]
“She’s been eating her greens,” Memo said with a laugh, as Besa clambered up Zuza’s neck to reach stubby arms out towards Alex, wanting to make friends with every stranger she met.
[break][break]
Memo was momentarily distracted from his adorable Pokemon by the shifting and changing of the ground; the flowers bent and bowed to reveal bare earth beneath, with a strange inscription marred into the rock surface:
[break][break]

TO WHOM ARE YOU THANKFUL?


[break]
Without thinking, he stooped-- he took a Sharpie from Alexei without looking up, just somehow feeling it would be offered-- uncapped it, and paused in thought. For whom was he thankful?
[break][break]
He passed the Sharpie to his (bandaged) right hand, and began to write:
[break][break]
ZUZA, for her constant compassion and gentle permanence at his side. Was it cheaping out to say he was grateful for his own Pokemon? Maybe. [break][break]
For , for getting them off of that damned island. What a trip. [break][break]
For , though the name he wrote was unknowingly his nom de guerre. For reminding him to hold onto his passions, even from their brief encounter. [break][break]
For Alexei. This one should be obvious. [break][break]
And finally, in small letters, he wrote his own name, conceited as it may be. Memo was thankful for his own strength and thankful he’d come so far from where he was. Escaped Galar. Escaped his family. Gotten here on the blood of his knuckles and the power of his own spirit.
[break][break]
He capped the marker and stayed crouched, looking down over his answers in deep thought.

At the question, he balked momentarily.

“Memo… there is a reason why I prefer taking care of avians… they’re easier to keep track of. Without you I’d be so hopelessly lost as to where I plant shit. I’m a bad plant parent as it is,” he replied with an embarrassed chuckle.

Up in the skies above them, a singular pair of eyes this time, was watching them just in case another fucking distortion appeared and caused chaos. Hopefully not today.

The Noivern circled around high above them, while back down on the ground…

“Oh my god, she’s beautiful,” he remarked upon seeing what the candy-colored foal had become—a mighty, pastel-colored mare.

“…mine looks weird. Wait, lemme show you.”

He then swiped through his phone until he found the picture of his own candy-themed Rapidash… harassing a Rookidee. Oops, not the best picture, but…

“Yeah… mine is an absolute shithead compared to Zuza over here,” he continued as he absentmindedly scratched at her candy-colored mane. A few moments later he saw a Sandshrew trying to get his attention. Aww, how cute!

“You have the nicest—” he trailed off as he picked up the Sandshrew (who really wanted the attention) and held her as best as he could manage, little stubby arms wiggling for attention.

“She’s so friendly,” he remarked—and then strange shit started happening. Something appeared out of the ground—a white rock—and it was automatic.

While balancing the Sandshrew in one hand, he passed the other sharpie marker to Memo and let him go first.

Once he was done writing, though, the fact of the matter that he saw his own name there on the rock made him—blush. More like, his ears started to burn red.

“You—” he trailed off, looking away, embarrassed all of a sudden.

Willing his ears to go back to normal before they exploded and made him even more embarrassed, he then (regretfully) put the Sandshrew back down on Zuza’s back before crouching down and wielding his own Sharpie pen like a sword.

‘TO WHOM ARE YOU THANKFUL?’

Well, shit, that was a loaded question.

Truth be told, there were… so many people… he wasn’t sure who would take precedence first considering that his life only ever really started after he ran away from home all those years ago.

“Man, this is a lot. It’s hard to choose…” he said with the tiniest of sighs, before pondering where to even damned start, really. Was writing down more than one name allowed?

Because there were so many…

, the very first friend he’d ever made back home in Mistralton;

and , his sestras, they who mean the world to him;

, crazy little клубничный котенок that she is;

, for being the best drag son a drag mother could ever ask for;

and , fellow bird brained enthusiasts of the best type ever (anyone else who disagrees can go fight him);

and , wherever they were now—the ladies that brought more than just a little spice to his daily life;

, sweet young girl;

@mattis , oh stubborn one, and the very first friend he’d made upon arriving in Hoenn a decade ago;

…and of course he kept the last thoughts to himself because holy shit the last person he was thinking of was right there with him!


After a few moments of indecision, he continued to scribble—

‘быть живым.’

And just in case the danged rock didn’t understand a single letter of Cyrillic, he quickly scrawled underneath it, ‘being alive’, because as it was he was literally living with the shadow of death chasing him at every turn whenever he did something reckless, or dangerous, or even both.

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.

As the cool wind brushes against him, Memo stands back up as if billowed on the spring-scented cloud. “We can’t all be perfect,” he tells Alexei, gentle smile playing over his features, “and I think you make a great parent as you are, right now.” He gestures to how tenderly Alexei holds Besa, and how comfortable the little shrew looks nestled in his arms.
[break][break]
The shadow of Alexei’s Noivern passes over them as Memo reads Alexei’s names. It’s a long list-- the bird wrangler has definitely been around a lot longer than Memo has. It fills him with warmth to see how gracious and giving Alex is with his list of those he is thankful for, even if his name isn’t among them. It’s fine. Everything in that moment, with the two of them awash in the scent of hibiscus, is perfectly fine.
[break][break]
His hand itches and he scratches absently at the bandages wrapped around his palm. “Most of my Pokemon are quite young,” he explains, fingers brushing across Zuza’s muzzle as she noses worriedly at his injury. “Besides, I have Acero. And Oona.” He grins. “They more than make up for the crazies.”
[break][break]
His laugh is interrupted by the beckoning bloom, and he stoops once again, cradling the lifted blossom in his bandaged hand. As he does, the world becomes a blast of red and pink, and he trades a curious glance with Alexei; Besa, raptured by the growing flowers, wiggles free of the bird-trainer’s grip, and, with super-human speed darts towards the bridge.
[break][break]
“Besa, momentito!” And Memo and Zuza were up and running after the Sandshrew, caught up in the dregs of her agility.

On the other hand…

“Well, I’m glad you have Zuza as the voice of reason!” he remarked with a cackle, before the strangest of things started unfolding yet again.

The… the flower, the one that he’d planted with his help, was uprooted by some strange, unknown force.

“Wait, Memo, what’s going—” he exclaimed, watching as the strange… the ethereal path of flowers going… skyward.

And then he realized that Memo was most probably going to fucking fall if he wasn’t careful!

One of the chains around his neck glinted as he hurriedly pulled it out, before blowing one unheard note—and a few moments later, the Noivern that had been circling around, their aerial guard, came swooping down and hovered, just there for a few moments before Alexei threw himself on Fenrir’s back after grabbing the other Gracidea flower and holding onto it for dear life.

“Go, quickly! Get him before he falls!” he exclaimed, holding on for dear life as the Noivern then picked up the pace with an Agility burst of his own. Alexei knew that there was almost no way the other was going to survive if he fell or lost his balance, and so he had to hurry…

“Faster, faster!” he hissed, crouching down as the wind began to pick up in intensity.



Noivern used Agility!

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, a couple shapes shift through the flowery abode.


GUILLERMO'S SHAYMIN




ALEXEI'S SHAYMIN




Whatever they are, you are compelled to find them 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.

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

Alexei’s Noivern was a shadow above them as Memo hastened after Besa; he was so focused on catching his little Sandshrew and protecting her from potential harm, he didn’t even notice the bridge was disappearing at a rapid rate, just in his wake. He didn’t realize they were climbing higher and higher until Fenrir was literally flying around him; he only vaguely recognized the feeling of solid ground beneath his feet.
[break][break]
Besa stopped in a verdant field of Gracidea blooms, darting from here to there, sniffing the flowers as she went. Memo followed, turning in a slow circle, dumbfounded at the swirl of clouds and open sky around their heavenly island, as it were.
[break][break]
“Alexei, are you seeing this?” he called to his skyward counterpart, honestly unable to believe his eyes. Did he fall and hit his head? Was this a dream?
[break][break]
Zuza nudged him firmly with her head and he stumbled backward. A downward’s glance revealed a disappearing trail of-- something, rustling in the flowers. He’d almost stepped on it.
[break][break]
He called out Corazón, then, determined to find out if this was an illusion.
[break][break]
“Cora, odor sleuth,” Memo said, gesturing down at the vanishing trace in the blossoms. The Stoutland barked twice in acknowledgement, then doused her entire head in the flower patch, sniffing loudly.
[break][break]
“We-- we can’t be having the same dream, can we?” Memo asked, voice languid as he thought out loud to bridge the gap between the surreality of his surroundings.

What was it with them trying not to die anyway?

At least now, Alexei felt more comfortable being in the air as compared to being underwater, considering that Fenrir the Noivern had to keep an eye on another unruly human accompanied by a bunch of Pokémon. To this he made a face, however eventually they arrived at a garden.

In mid-air, high above the clouds.

Now Alexei would’ve screamed if he was dreaming, but fact of the matter was, he wasn’t, and therefore pinched himself a bit and yowled to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating.

“Holy shit, how did we end up so far up…” he pondered, wondering if—no, that couldn’t be… the djinni he often spoke with frequented the skies around Lilycove, it was impossible the other would fly so far inland…

At the sight of all the greenery, though, he couldn’t help but wonder… how could something so beautiful exist? It was like he was in a game or something!

Either way, a few moments later a smaller burst of red light emerged—Carina, his extremely sassy Ribombee, who flitted around and then poked at his nose.

“Ow, hey… hey there, Carina,” he greeted the minuscule presence, before even she was floored at the sight of all the greenery existing so far above the ground.

“You mind?”

A few moments later, a very Sweet Scent enveloped the nearby area.

“…say hi to Carina, my Ribombee. Very huge personality for a Pokémon so tiny,” he said, pointing out the near-minuscle dot as the dual-type Pokémon wafted her wings and brought the alluring scent to wash over the area.



Ribombee used Sweet Scent!

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:


TILL THE SOIL


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

Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

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

Corazón is a chugging machine of sniffing and snorting, her majestic whiskers dragging behind her, when all of a sudden her nose is raised up on the back of something small and green. Once Memo’s identified the first, he recognizes a gathering of other little, hedge-pig type things; the one that Cora’s snoot is fixed against, however, seems the bravest. It pokes its little nose against Cora’s, then scrambles off; Cora, along with Memo, Zuza, and Besa (who has resumed her seat atop his Rapidash’s shoulders) follow in its wake.
[break][break]
They pause at the location indicated by the hedgehog, Memo tugging at his collar in confusion. But, just as before, Besaraña seems to know what she’s meant to do. She dives from her place on Zuza’s back and gets to work rototilling the soil.
[break][break]
Memo steps back and watches, stuck somewhere between disbelief and awe.

Mother of—

“Memo, you nut, you almost died out there!” he remarked, as the Ribombee found something, lured out by the sickeningly-Sweet Scent that the minuscule Pokémon had exuded earlier.

And just like the other, he’d sussed out something… what on earth…

“What—what is that?!” he remarked, blinking as the other Shaymin (not that he knew what it was) trotted over and began sniffing at him, before he looked at the strange… was this a Pokémon… in confusion.

“Do you even know what the hell’s going on,” he remarked quietly as this time, his Dwebble (which was hanging around his legs) watched the Sandshrew literally go for one of the empty plots and began digging it up…

“Okay, I am just as confused as you, but—” he continued as he followed the other Shaymin—so did the Dwebble—before the Dwebble began attacking the patch of dirt in the same fashion as the Sandshrew, using Rototiller as well.



Dwebble used Rototiller!

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. TOGETHER, you must hit or surpass a total of 125 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.
