It was a wonderfully warm day on Route 117. Spring truly felt like it was in the air. Besides the occasional sneeze and runny nose from the pollen, everything was blooming and bustling from the newfound blooms and birth from the cold of winter.

Jessie was interested to see how her seeds were doing, the ones she had planted along the route. So, with Niko's hand in hers, she trekked along until she found them, chattering about how she came to acquire them and where she planted them.

Except, she was silenced when she spotted the plant peeking from the soil. Stooping down, Jessie touched the petals gently, and the whole area bloomed with flowers.

"Oh my... holy..."

It was beautiful.

And then, she noticed the slab in the dirt, almost as if it was calling to them.

"What do you think it is?"

expecting to see a little sprout, maybe something bigger, niko is caught off guard when he sees an actual plant with blooming flowers that stretch across the area.[break][break]

"you're asking me?"[break][break]

niko manner the scientist? he chuckles, shaking his head as he stoops down as well.[break][break]

"no idea. but it's really pretty."[break][break]

his finger brushes over one of the petals.[break][break]

"i thought you had just planted these?"

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.

"I did. I wonder if these are like... magic seeds or something," Jessie said, giggling.

But as she observed the tablet further, something appeared. A question.

"To whom are you thankful?"

"There's a question here..."

The flowers that had sprouted seemed to indicate that they should answer, pointed toward the bare area where it was waiting for an answer. She looked at Niko, giving him a shrug before crouching down.

It wasn't hard for her to think of who she was thankful for. Most of them were here. The gang. Her siblings. . But most of all...

Her hand, in delicate script, wrote on the blank space, a smile placed gently on her lips.

"i wouldn't be surprised."[break][break]

magic seeds wouldn't be the weirdest thing going on in hoenn nowadays. in fact, even he seems relatively unfazed by the words that appear on the stone before them.[break][break]

"alright..."[break][break]

he kneels down as well before reaching out his large finger to drag across the smooth stone.[break][break]

who's he thankful for?[break][break]

scribbling all of the gang's names would take forever so he chooses those most important. he inscribes @jessica's name along with baby niko, still unnamed.

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.

Jessie gave Niko space to inscribe the names he wanted to write. And, her heart did flips when she saw what he wrote. Her own name, alongside the baby's. She reached for his hand when he was done, holding it tightly and giving a smile.

However, their moment was short-lived as the stone seemed to take their names and move onto the next step. The flowers rustled as a strong breeze blew through the area, petals flowing through the air like water in a river.

Jessie watched in fascination as it seemed to create a path. With the gracidea flower in her hands, she summoned forth her ARCANINE.

"Let's follow it before it disappears. Hop on!" she beckoned Niko, clambering onto her Pokemon's back.

Once settled, the ARCANINE sprinted off, enhancing his speed with AGILITY to ensure they crossed the floral bridge before it disappeared.

if there's one thing he learned from this trip, it's that he really needs to give baby niko an actual name. but before he can share his thoughts with jessie, a path forms.[break][break]

"ayo this is weird."[break][break]

but he knows there's no turning back now. with a nod, he swings a heavy leg over jessie's poor arcanine before hopping on.[break][break]

"go, GO!"

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.

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

The bridge seemed long, and it trailed higher, and higher. Jessie felt herself clutching tighter to the fur of her ARCANINE, nerves building up as they were practically running on the air.

Finally, they landed on ground. However, as they dismounted, she noticed they were far up in the air, high in the sky.

"Oh my god," she said shakily, her hand grasping tightly on Niko's arm.

The trail disappeared. It seemed they were stuck here, on this island. However, Jessie noticed that more gracidea flowers were blooming in the center, drawing her closer. And as she approached, the stems and flowers rustled.

"Something is in there..."

Using a PHANPY, she urged it to use ODOR SLEUTH, scenting the area to find the thing that was stirring the plants. The flower she had planted still rested in her hand as she waited.

up and up they go![break][break]

as niko hops off her arcanine, he makes sure to stay close, looking to be her support because he knows she's scared of heights. and, fuck, are they high up right now.[break][break]

"i gotchu."[break][break]

but niko doesn't see what she sees. or at least he doesn't just yet. he squints, peering through the flowery abode to look for the rotund binch.[break][break]

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.

She was about to answer that she didn't know. That perhaps it was just a random Pokemon. But, before the words could leave her lips, a hedgehog-like creature, with its back covered in flowers, appeared in front of them.

"Oh! Look at it!"

It reached toward Jessie's hands, where she still held onto the gracidea bloom. She lowered it closer, so it could get a better sniff of the flower before it walked to a plot of land that seemed bare except for a few other blooms.

"Maybe we should plant it?"

Summoning her BIBAREL as they approached, she commanded she use ROTOTILLER, churning the dirt until it was soft and moist. Then, Jessie placed the flower down, covering the roots.

The BIBAREL yawned, laying down after the "hard" work of digging up soil.

"okay. okay! it a cutie."[break][break]

wow. niko isn't quite sure what he was expecting but it certainly isn't a rotund little binch. it's kinda cute, not gonna lie, and he doesn't have the urge to kick it, unlike a certain elite four member.[break][break]

he nods at her suggestion before watching the bibarel get to work. it doesn't take it long to finish.[break][break]

while jessie busies herself with planting the flower, niko keeps his guard up, watching around them for anything odd.[break][break]

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.
