Welcome to Gaia! ::

Solaris---Moonfall---Ivy---Diane---Zachary---Genesis

Solaris nodded, "Very. I rather like how they've built their hall as though it were one large ballroom. Considering doing that for the Sun Guild..."
The Espeon flicked his tail to the side and stepped forward to sit next to the pale Flareon.
He watched his uncle warily for a moment, he seemed fine now and lately he'd been in a much better mood and also much better streak of good health so he wasn't particularly fretful for the night.
"Yes. He does." He finally replied after his thoughtful silence.


"It's fine." Ivy's tail gave a swift wag, "I'm 'Sunrise over Fields of Ivy' but everyone just calls me Ivy. Ivy Eclipse."She extended a paw to awkwardly grip his claw in one quick shake before lettng it go. Paws were not meant for holding.
"These new Pokemon are interesting, aren't they? I'm surprised there are no new Eeveelutions though. Surprised and a bit relieved. I'd hate to have evolved into a Glaceon only to find I could have been able to fly and have wings like yours..."
She turned sharply as one of the high ranked Pokemon of this guild began to shout, but quickly turned back to Rem.
"What team are you on, Rem, if you don't mind me asking?"

Zach huffed, dragging his sopping wet hide from the fountain to follow the Purrloin and make amends, however his apology was refused before it could be uttered when he caught up to her and she whirled around to claw his face to pieces.
"OH GOD, AM I BLEEDING?! I'M BLEEDING! I'M GOING TO DIE!"
Diane hissed and continued to march away.

Laura listened to their current conversation with Pluto. She heard the Leafeon asked a question and was answered immediately by Diane. It was true how the Winter Festival was less exciting than the Spring Festival. The Gracedia too was indeed beautiful. She can't wait until the grand finale arrives. The thought crossed her mind then vanished when her sister shrieked. Her eyes widened, full of shock. Nothing can be good will happen after this. "Diane!" She screamed her name as the shiny Purrloin was splashed by the cold fountain water. "P-Please excuse me.." She said with a quick bow to Pluto before trotting to her sister's side. She caught a glimpse of Genesis trying to calm her down as a few curses escaped the Purrloin's mouth.
As Diane went off, completely furious at the idiotic Zorua, Laura was about to follow her and continue to comfort her before she thought that the shiny Purrloin just need some alone time. She shot a glance at Zachary. She continued to glare at him until he was ripped by her sister. Ouch. She acknowledged the Zorua's screaming and sighed before returning to the Leafeon.
"Yes, where were we?" She said, pretending that none of that never happened.

"A magician?" Zorora said confused. She didn't know the meaning of 'magician'. But whatever it is, it seemed like it is what the Eevee's doing.
"Riley," She repeated the name. "Riley! That's a nice name." She smiled innocently. She then heard Riley asked her name. "My name is Zorora!" She exclaimed her answer to the Eevee. "I'm the leader of Team Electro Thundersong." She added. She's rather proud being a leader. Though, since she haven't done any missions yet, her team is probably not well-known.
A few tricks amazed her. It kind of inspired her. So as the other younger Pokemons watching him. For the record, Zorora isn't a kid. She's actually almost an adult. She just sometimes bounces between being an adult and being a kid. Only, usually she acts like a kid. Like right now for example.
After seeing Riley's amazing tricks, she felt the urge to do a trick of herself. She is part Shinx, maybe she can do something with electricity? "I bet I can make one of 'em tricks." She said under her breath. She moved her body to look like she's about to pounce. Her star-like tail was up in the air. Her dark brown fur bristling with excitement. A faint 'Urk' came from her as she tried to discharge a few electricity, not too much to damage anything unlike what that Zorua did. "Hiyaa~" She said as sparks began to fly and explode like fireworks. "I call it Electricworks!" She announced. The Eevee looked at Riley and the other kids, expecting some praise of some sort. Her eyes were glowing proudly.

Meanwhile of all those things happening, Nadia and Luke seemed to quite enjoy their chat.
"Luke, have you ever missed your family before?" Nadia asked.
"Sometimes I do miss them. They were the ones who have raised me and made me who I am."
The Poochyena started to fight back tears. She shouldn't be asking those kind of questions but she can't help herself miss her family, her whole pack. She never had a family ever since. Maybe having some kids might return the word 'family' to her.
"Nadia, are you alright?" The Lucario always seemed to worry about her.
"N-No..I-I'm fine.." Her words were slightly blocked by the tears she's trying to hold back.

Ty-Thorn-Violet


Ty's gazed contunied to wonder around the room, while Thorn still looked at her feet. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you two." Violet said as Ty's jaw almost hit the floor. "What is it?" Violet asked as Thorn looked up at Ty. "Thats-That's-That's Solaris..." Ty muttered as his eyes began to sparkle. "Hmm..." Violet responded as her gaze followed Ty's to the one tailed Espeon. Ty began to walk towards the leader of the Guild he and Thorn are memebers off, as Thorn started to get a worried look on her face. "Ty, I-I don't think we should approach him just yet." Thorn said as she reached out to grab her team mate. "No, it should be fine," Violet said as she began to follow Ty, "I mean, this party is meant so people can mingle." Thorn gave up on reaching Ty in his current state, and began to follow him and Violet.

Pluto saw the Deerling approaching, and noticed how the plants the Guildmaster had summon wilted on the spot. The Leafeon could sympathize. He inclined his head at the approaching grass-type.

"No harm done." He replied, waving a paw as if brushing the mishap aside. A 'I have to deal with idiots as well and I understand' was evident in his voice and on his face.

"You must be Lynne." Pluto made an educated guess. The embarrassment if he had gotten the wrong Pokemon doesn't outweigh the the benefits of having guessed right. It helped make one feel more important when others remember your name, especially if you haven't met personally. "I am Pluto Eclipse, the current Guildmaster of the Guild of the Sun." He introduced himself once more. He turned back to Laura at her question, a smile on his face to reassure his hosts that he did not take offence to Zachary's antics.

"We have just been talking about the festival. It's a fascinating custom, and must be a great way to bring your guild together. I would love to hear more about it; perhaps similar events can be held on the mainland." Taking the conversation away from the embarrassing episode helps to ease the tension. Although in a way Zachary's actions had been a good thing. They left Lynne and Laura in a position where they would have to try and redeem their guild in front of their guests.

Nova noted Lynne's coughing fit, and came to the same conclusion as Pluto. She had heard about the Guild of Season's Guildmaster as well of course. The Roserade was suddenly more interested in the conversation. She kept her attention on both the Deerling and the Purrloin, waiting for a good opportunity to politely cut into the conversation and talk to one of them.



Melissa nodded in agreement with the Lanturn's statements. "I wish we could come to a peaceful resolution around the guild more often." Although for someone who had never been in a single fight before joining the guild, Melissa has never had trouble in the heat of battle.

"It's great ta see so many different folks together making friends like this." Randel continued the conversation with a big grin. The Tirtouga was really enjoying himself. "And it's not that hard ta see past the Generation Gap. Why, you're a lovely example. I'd be hard pressed ta find even one of my own species as pretty as you."

Randel's smile was genuine, and so was his compliment. He made it hardly without a thought, no ulterior motives behind the words. If Melissa didn't know the naive water-type better, she would have thought he was flirting.

Katara watched it all, feeling like she should say something, but not entirely sure what. The rules of conversation Lilium had taught her had fled her the moment she had need of them.

"Um...I think you're pretty too." Katara echoed Randel, figuring that the comment was probably safe. Melissa hid back giggles.



After getting as much information out of the soon-very-annoyed Pawniard, Chronicler excused herself to the relief of the steel-type. Oblivious, the Cherrim gleefully ran towards the next odd-looking Pokemon. Crown sighed and followed, her eyes darting around the hall. Maybe she should break off from Chronicler. The Cherrim was a little too excited to be able to hold a proper conversation, and Crown really wanted to just slow down and talk to someone.

((Chronicler and Crown open, anyone feel to approach them. Any 5th gen characters beware))



"You've come a long way." Aiden remarked. "I'll be sure to remember the name of MistMelody. I know you'll go far, and someday perhaps I can brag to my friends that I had the pleasure of personally meeting the great Era and Ethfael."

Chris glanced at his friend. Every time he wondered why they chose the Grovyle to lead their team, all he had to do was remember Aiden's way with words. God damn, if he couldn't talk his way out of everything.

"He'll be asking autographs from you two if you're not careful." He warned the two jokingly.

Beka turned when Era addressed someone behind her, and the Blaziken was alarmed for a second that the Lucario had gotten so close to her without her noticing. She couldn't have expected otherwise in such a crowded hall though, so she made a mental note to be a bit more wary of her back (it was more reflexive than out of any feelings of being threatened) and took a step forward as she turned to Jessica to create some distance between herself and the Lucario. Beka didn't like anyone being too close to her. It was harder to fight if one did break out.

"Good day." She told the Lucario, suddenly wary of the fact the other fighting type had a hand on her weapon.

~Lynne
"Lynne I am."
A calm smile held place on the Deerling's maw as his apology was accepted by none other than a guildmaster like himself.
"Well, uhm, I guess due to our secluded climate we aren't really bound to set seasons but we nevertheless celebrate the changing over on predetermined dates. There's been years where it snowed for this gathering...Not that the idea is weird to us or anything, but after monitoring your mainland this probably all sounds foreign to you."
Lynne tried to hold his composure as he explained, surprisingly with decent ability, the workings behind his homeland. For the moment he was relaxed and showing no signs of wavering back into a bout of illness.

~Mikhail
"Please, love, just smile... I know you're upset to be in such cheerful company in a time like this but we were bound to have to make a public appearance sooner or later. This guild was even attacked recently themselves and look how they bounced back."
Mikhail tried to be as supportive as possible as Eira's condition only worsened upon entering the affair. He knew she wasn't looking forward to meeting with all of her fellow high-ranking guildmembers, but as he said nothing more could be done.

Era laughed a bit, eyes shining merrily at Aiden's comment. The Grovyle had quite a way with words and flattery, but she couldn't say she didn't appreciate it. "You're too kind," she said with a grin, "No doubt it should be the other way around as far as I'm concerned. Team Trinity most likely has already made a name for itself. You all appear to be well-seasoned Explorers after all." Her expression was light and pleasant, she couldn't be sure of course, but it was a reasonable assumption that a Team who had been around for a few years would be known around the area, even if they didn't closely link themselves to the Guilds. She was really enjoying the trio's company, they were a nice group to have met. The Lucario still hadn't said anything, but Era was more preoccupied as her mind wandered to what she should be doing, but she quickly brushed it to the side. It was fine, they all were preoccupied and nothing but pleasurable socializing seemed to be going on from all sides, so there was no need to worry over that just yet.

Ethfael nodded in agreement with Era's earlier statement, they were very generous in their praise. "You must have seen some interesting places in your explorations," he said, "I must say though, out of all the places I've been, these Islands are some of the strangest. To think that a whole generation could have been here for so long without our realizing." It was such an odd concept, yet here they were, mingling with not only their own mainland Guild members but also with the new 5th Generation. It was rather exciting to Ethfael to see all the different Pokemon from this place.

Sereni blushed, her cheeks tinging slightly pink and light pulsing a bit faster, "Why thank you..." she murmured in response to Randel's compliment. She'd never recieved a compliment like that before and it was...well, nice. As Katara echoed the thought, she smiled, collecting herself a bit from her previous state. "Thank you too Katara," she added, the words obviously not having the same meaning coming from a female as from a male. She was catching on to the idea that the Skarmory needed to be included more forcefully than some in the conversation. "You're both very kind." She smiled a bit sheepishly, "To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure whether to dress up for the occasion or not, but the rest of the Team did, so I followed their lead. It seems like there's a mismash at any rate of people who dressed up and those who didn't, so I guess I'm alright."

When Riley only got a few definite responses, he decided to include them all anyway. After all, it couldn't hurt. "Alright, that's two, four, six, seven," he said, making sure to get everyone, "Right, here we go!" With a flourish of his cape, Riley spun around and then pointed to each of them in turn, where he pointed, a deck of playing cards appeared, in the hands of or next to all of those around him if their hands or front paws were occupied. "Alright, first thing's first, I'll perform the trick once to show you how it works." Riley sat down, his own special deck of playing cards rematerializing in his paws. "Alright, first I'm going to shuffle the deck so that you all know I can't have organized these cards," he said, shuffling the cards quickly and masterfully as he did so. "Now I need someone to pick a card out of here and memorize it, but don't tell me what it is." Riley closed his eyes and held out the cards for any one of those present to take one. They were going to enjoy this.
