When Keenan got back in the morning to check on the flower, he was met with a fully bloomed princess of a grove. He wasn't much of a gardner or anything like that, but he could always appreciate a good bit of nature. Including this flower, glowing in kind hues in the morning sunlight. It was odd, and made the area around it glow. Stepping closer to it, he barely touched it to face the sunlight a little bit more. What happened next startled him...the area around him burst into life, with more flowers growing and blooming almost all at once. The ground underneath him shifted, making him hop back. But it wasn't violent, oddly. Instead a white stone appeared, and a gentle displacement continued.

Was this what the old rancher's wife meant when she said if you take care of the flower right, something good will happen? He didn't know much about flowers or anything...heck, he didn't really have much in the way of grass type pokemon in general. He did have Vikavolt with him, as well as Houndoom, Metang, Granbul, Ariados, and Zweilous...so it wasn't like he wasn't well protected if things go wrong. Nudging the stone to see if it was stable, Kee did step on it...just to see if maybe it was pressure activated. And hopefully in a good way, he wanted to take a picture of the flowers later...

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.

Keenan saw a ring of flowers blooming around the stone, and...arranging themselves to point at it. Getting off of it, he looked closer at it, feeling a bit dumb. But there he saw it, a question. To whom are you thankful. Sitting down cross-legged, he stared up at the sky. There were a few people. Including one he just met. Derek he wanted to help...and evidently did some since he reopened a gym. But was he actually thankful for them? No, not yet at least. He inscribed his older brother, his parents, and , his younger brother. He also put down for the battle to help prepare him for later. for being so outgoing and likely becoming his friend. for opening his eyes with his gym challenge, as well as the encouragement and critique. Maybe he'll meet more people that he can put on that list, hopefully eventually . He would sit there, waiting to see what happens. But also would take out his phone and take pictures around him.

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.

The wind billowed and swirled, making the morning sunlight shimmer between the flowers. Then the Gracedia Flower was uprooted gently, much to Kee's surprise. He released his Ariados as insurance initially. But the flower beckoned him to take it. Gently, he dug underneath the rest of it, giving the roots plenty of dirt with it. Cradling it gently, he saw a path open up before him...a very flowery one...into the sky! If this wasn't a sign that he was about to meet a fantastical Pokemon, he didn't know what would be. The blonde rushed up the bridge. Somewhat, he had to moniter his speed a little bit so he didn't drop or jossle the flower in his arms so much. His Ariados on the other hand, had noticed the path behind them was disappearing.

Thinking fast, the red spider used Agility and sprung into action. She pushed her trainer while also making sure he stayed on the path with quick and surprisingly fluid movements. In fact, the red spider used it twice...making her even faster and even kind of scary. But it allowed Keenan to protect the Gracidea Flower and follow the path well ahead of the disappearing path...

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.

High above the clouds, he stepped in a field of flowers...the same kind in his arms. Returning a tired Ariados, praising them, he let out his Houndoom. This field had to have some kind of mystical Pokemon in here...how else could this place exist? Looking at the mounds of dirt...would they want him to plant his flower here? Would it be alright? Looking at his Houndoom, he spoke up. "Houndoom, go find whoever did this...I gotta see if they want my flower planted here for them to enjoy..." He wasn't going to be able to visit it and make sure it was in good shape forever. He also had to find his own goal, challenge gym leaders, etc. Look more into the current state of affairs.

With a nod of understanding, Houndoom used Oder Sleuth to search out the Pokemon that created this. He stuck to the fields, evidently the hiding spot of this particular creature. Keenan likewise also tried to search for the Pokemon, being mindful of the flowers, both in the field and the one in his arms...

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.

Kee nearly squeelled about how cute these little guys were! How adorable! One of them trotted up to his feet. Out of curiosity, Kee kneeled down to look at the cutiepie. As he did, the pokemon sniffed at his flower. With a swivel, it trotted off. Both him and Houndoom looked at each other, then trotted after it, careful about the flowers. They were lead to a stretch of loamy soil that looked like it had some recently planted flowers. Kee wasn't necessarily a Pokemon behavior expert, but it seemed to him that it wanted him to plant the flower here. Taking out his Pokeballs, he looked to see if he could find Vikavolt...maybe her Dig would be suffecient? One Pokeball did catch his interest though...he didn't bring Granbul, he brought Onix. The rock snake was huge, but...the loamy soil was on the outer edge. Taking the pokeball, he released the big guy, who, to their credit, maneuvered itself so it would crush any flowers. Or cute pokemon. "Hey, Onix, use Rototiller...try to keep it pretty contained to the open spots." Nodding, Onix started to use Rototiller, being meticulous, careful, and getting the spots ready for planting.

Once there was a spot ready, Kee would approach it, moving the dirt aside. So much easier than when he initially planted the flower. Putting it in the hole, the blodne planted it and patted the soil around it. Hopefully it'll take root pretty well.

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.

One of the Shaymin came up to him, grass like fur bristling and even fired an attack at him, but stopping just short of the flowers. It was obvious the little guy wanted to test him. Looking around, he stepped away from the flowers. Taking out Metang, he released the metal meteor like Pokemon. Honestly, with what he had, was either it or Ariados. Maybe Vikavolt. Maybe as a backup. The Metang stared down at the little hedgehog with a blank expression. "Metang, start off with Bullet Punch, then use Psychic." In an instant, Metang was behind the Shaymin, swiping with its clawed leg. Only to miss as it had jumped up. But since it was up in the air, the Shaymin couldn't avoid the Psychic that smacked it.

The Shaymin landed on its feet, firing another Seed Flare, hitting Metang hard. A grass type attack actually hitting Metang hard enough to scuff it was incredible. Kee started to research the Pokemon a bit, and soon found it. Shaymin, a mythical Pokemon. Nodding, Kee ordered a plan as the hedgehog was about to let off another attack. "Use Magnet Rise! Then use Zen Headbutt!" Metang rose up above the ground just in time to avoid an Energy Ball. Metang slammed head first with psychic energy into the mythical Pokemon. However, the grass Pokemon fired a Leech Seed at the metal Pokemon, hitting it. The seed burst into vines that wrapped around Metang's body. Kee's friend retaliated with another Psychic attack.

This time, Shaymin avoided the attack, and let loose another Seed Flare. This time, Metang was ready, and avoided the attack, using Bullet Punch to once again get close and knocking the hedgehog's head. The grass-type started to ready an Energy Ball, but his meteor pokemon used Zen Headbutt, pushing the little guy right to the edge of the flowers. The duo stared at each other for a little bit...but Kee didn't like that either...that Leech Seed was slowly draining Metang's power! "Use Psychic! Bring it over to you for Meteor Mash!" Metang's eyes glowed purple as a psychic blast hit Shaymin from behind, careful not to hit any flowers. The surprise left the mythical pokemon vulnerable...and close enough for the blue steel-type to use probably its most powerful attack.

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.

Once the smoke cleared, the little guy shook itself from the debris. At first Keenan thought they were going to continue the battle. Instead, the mythical pokemon's behavior was far more passive, and walked up to his pants leg and snuggled it. Houndoom came over and sniffed at the little guy, then licked its forehead. Even Onix gave a smile and small welcoming roar. Metang patted the grass type on the head. It was clear now what it was waiting for. Taking out a Pokeball, Kee knelt down and petted the little Pokemon. "This was quite the test. But if you want to come with...I'll take ya with me. Everyone else seems eager to accept you." With a smile, he held out the device. And Shaymin booped it with their nose. Looking back at the bridge, he knew the first thing he was going to do was switch someone out for it. Looking back at the flowers and the other Shaymin, they all waved and then went back into hiding. Keenan waved back, returned all his Pokemon, and headed back down to earth.
