a delightful picnic day.

Who: Everyone!
What: PokeBalls are now functional, and there are a lot more friends in Tabula Rasa.
Where: Outside of Heavenly Blanc! It's a picnic, baby.
When: You know, now-ish.
Content Warnings: Cute. Dragons. Birbs.

It seemingly happens at random, for the trainers of the creatures they call Pokemon. Sudden bursts of light, and out emerge quite a few new friends. Pokemon of different Types, shapes, and sizes are now wandering around . . . sticking close to their trainers, probably.

There's a small gathering outside of the Heavenly Blanc, with various snacks and food set out on tables outside. Feel free to come by, play with Pokemon, and have a bite to eat! It's a random assortment of food and drink, all "foraged" and/or made by the Pokemon crew in order to celebrate their partners being released and to also introduce them to their friends they've made in Tabula Rasa!

Be careful of the rumbling storm nearby, though . . . but on the bright side, at least your phones seem to be working, if you have any? Time to take selfies with your new friends, or maybe a TikTok that just stays on your phone forever.

(Trainers will have top levels, if they want, so if you want to interact with a specific trainer, you can wait for their level! Otherwise, have fun at the picnic.)

Hmmm, is that the reason? Somehow I bet there's more to it than that. [Sure, he's never seen Raihan's social media accounts for himself, but just from the way the guy's always talking about it, he's sure it's a flurry of other fanservice and non-battle related activity. Plenty of other things for his fans to be engaged with, that is, than his losing streaks...........]

Not that that's a bad thing.

[He's interested in hearing Raihan's perspective on his rival, though- as he should be, as anyone interested in a competitive battling scene should be. Who knew any trainer better than their rival, after all?]

[It doesn't surprise him, either for Raihan to refute him or to hear that the guy didn't have any one consistent strategy. Keeping things consistent meant keeping things stale, after all- and a Champion had to be more than consistent to keep their place at the top.]


In other words, he's the one keeping his eye on you, [Blue grins, and the way he looks at Raihan is awfully knowing.] Well, not that that's a bad thing for a rival, right?

It's part of the reason. I'm a talented guy, you know!

[ he's already bore witness to Raihan's skills with selfie angles back in the nightmare tunnels, and now that Rotom is up and running again, he's sure to see plenty more. it's only a matter of time!

the rival chatter, however, sobers him up a bit. it's not that talking about his losses to Leon is a sore point, but rather he usually doesn't have to talk about them - everyone in Galar is aware of their rivalry, so this is a strange bit of introspection to have to go through. ]


He'd better! I'm the one that's been keeping him on his game since he became Champion. [ he hopes he looks as nonchalant as he wants himself to, glancing at Blue with a raised brow. that look can mean a lot of things. ] We don't underestimate each other - our matches are always the talk of the town because of it.

Multi-talented, right.

[Blue hums, and glances back towards the Rotomphone once more.] Hey, I believe you. ...He wouldn't keep coming back for more otherwise, right?

[Is he asking Raihan that, or himself? Maybe they were both trying to act a little more nonchalant than they should about this.]

...Anyway, the fact that you're the top Leader means there's not much better of a challenge to be had, right? So I guess if the guy never travels to inter-League tournaments, he must be pretty satisfied with what he's got.

[Blue rests his chin in hand.] Though I guess if he's running a Battle Facility now, he's hoping they'll come to him, huh. The seasoned challengers, not just the star newbies.
