ON THE STAGE

THE COMMISSIONER, dahlia goode, moves to the stage's podium. as the musicians set their instruments to the floor behind her, she tests the microphone with a brief count. while the sharp breeze of the sea pushes her blonde hair back, dahlia thanks everyone for coming. furthermore, she gives gratitude to the event's organizers, fundraisers and entertainment before diving deeper into her speech.[break][break][break]

"hoenn has seen its fair share of tragedies. as a region torn by war and disaster, we have faced much hardship together. however, every single time we have bounced back. we have not allowed catastrophe to strip us of our joy and our spirit." she shifts the first page of her script to the side, careful to keep the wind from taking it. "and so, i am honored to announce that today's pokeathlon will be donating its proceeds to slateport's social services. to assist those affected by the slateport invasion and the new year's tragedy." the commissioner continues, elaborating upon other efforts made by the league to help assist the city.[break][break][break]

afterwards, she beckons for Remiel Calcifet to come to the microphone, "and last but certainly not least, i am doubly honored to be introducing galar's ambassador to hoenn. please give them a warm welcome." inevitably, Remiel Calcifet will speak (and may post) about his role as ambassador before being granted the honor of opening the pokeathlon games.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

the music roars to full volume once again as the band rises to celebrate.[break][break][break]

MINI-GAME #2: LIMBO

a limbo station has been set up. trainers and their pokemon are encouraged to give a go. regardless of your core strength, this activity has proven to be difficult for many, for the sands make it difficult to hold proper footing. furthermore, the stick goes quite low too![break][break][break]

the limbo pole is held by two breloom on either end. despite their stubby limbs, their claws provide a firm grip on the limbo poles.[break][break][break]

INTRODUCTION

[break][break][break]

ON THE GOLDEN SANDS OF SLATEPORT'S SHORE, tourists and vacationers bring their summer colours. like glistening embroidery, vibrant beach umbrellas, funky beach towels, and citrus-bright inflatables dot the beach. sounds of laughter and splashing are carried by the briny winds, winds. wingull descend from those salty scarves to peck at discarded crumbs or to steal food from the hands of beach-goers.[break][break][break]

vendors from the newly reconstructed slateport market have moved onto the beach. stalls selling seashell accessories, snacks and drinks beckon for the prospective parched patron. closer to slateport city, there is a seashell stage with a microphone and speakers ready. the pokeathlon games will be announced there— and musicians are expected to conduct performances throughout the day.[break][break][break]

MINI-GAME #1: WATERMELON

furthermore, mini games are set up all around the beach. volleyball nets are set and busy with those attempting to become king of the courts or the ultimate decoy— while a watermelon rests nearby on top of a thin clamperl-patterned sheet. long wooden sticks are held by a thwackey presiding over this game of suikawari (watermelon splitting).[break][break][break]

In midst the festivities, the thwackey's trainer calls out for challengers, "COME AND SPLIT THE WATERMELON! WE'LL BLINDFOLD YA, SPIN YA AROUND THREE TIMES, AND HOPE TO ALL HOENN YOUR HIT MAKES YOUR MARK!"[break][break][break]

the goal is to strike the watermelon with power and precision so that the fruit can be broken apart for eating.[break][break][break]

a hot tub and lazy river have been set up. furthermore, a beachside bar with a thatched roof provides shade and refreshment for those of legal age. pokemon meander around the beach— including wild species interested in partaking in the party and perhaps, interested in finding a new home...[break][break][break]
