(Welcome back to the third annual Spring Jubilee! Its been a trainer tradition for the last three years! and we're keeping it going. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the ORP, though it is slated toward trainer RP :3
Also, stick around, or come join us later for when the RP goes to NIGHT - For gatherings of beach bonfires and night time games)
This year was slated to be the largest Spring celebration that the City of Camphoreon had ever held! With the growing population of pokemon trainers from other regions, a presence that had been heavily encouraged by the League'a growing interest in the island of Kodo, Camphoreon had set up for the attendance of a large group of natives, tourists, travelers, and trainers the island had ever seen!
This year's Spring Jubilee was moved from its previous years location, to a much larger park that was located by the far end of the island, where the grassy slopes and trees would gradually lead out into the large span of sandy beaches.
Spring was in full bloom, the city was covered in blossoming flowers, thought he park was thoroughly decorated with vibrant colors of all kinds of flowers while their delicate fragrances wafted through the trees, and vender booths set up setting various art, crafts, and food.
The celebration was extended to the beach, where selected entertainment and food would be found. From playing bands, to arias set up for casual pokemon battles. The water would still be a bit too cold for a lot of the people to want to attempt, but that never stopped the more ambitious and determined water people! Let alone the thick skinned who just wouldn't mind.
Pokemon were just as abundant as the humans were this year, as all types, accompanying their trainers to the warming event.
With the sun gleaming brightly, and the wind blowing pleasantly past the crashing waves, It was a perfect day to celebrate new beginnings, and a beautiful spring.
Welcome to the festival of spring!
For those who had not tuckered themselves out, the party continues, a celebration of color and light! Parties moved to the beach, the sand now littered with the petals of flowers that had flown from the booths, fallen of the people and pokemon who attended, or were purposely scattered around to brighten the sands with the flowers colors.
All along the beach however, as the sun finally sank down into the horizon, and left the strip of sand dark, a spring of colorful bonfires lit up the beach, stretching the sands length. Earlier that day, packets of mineral sticks had been sold in burlap sacks, some won in contests. It is then explained, that when the rods are later added to the flames would turn colors, from Blue, green, purple, yellow, and red. leaving the beach in a glow of spring colors.
Groups of trainers, families and friends settled by the fires, enjoying song, food and sparklers with their pokemon. Enjoy the spring night! Gather at a bonfire with new and old friends! Everything is open.

It had been a bright an early day for a particular blond haired trainer,There would be no sleeping in today! Not on today, a day she was looking forward to a whoooole lot. Not only was this a very special event for her and her friends. But Luke, with Yuri would be coming back for it as well. It had only been about a week since they had left, but it was going to be so great to see their friend again.
When she arrived at the festal, it took her a moment to stand in awe at how much the event had grown. Having had met up with Sera before they had arrived, they had headed over together. Rosie happily sticking with her best friend.
Rosie had to admit, the best part so far was all the trainers. It wasn't long before she had spotted some trainers that she knew from the boards, and had met along her travels. She stood with a group of them, one hand on her hip, with her posture relaxed and wide. supporting the weight of a Raichu splayed along both her shoulders, watching with the other trainer's scattered pokemon.
She was in a much more casual, but comfortable outfit today. A deep pink and blue plaid shirt, rolled up to her elbows and half tucked into a pare of blue jean shorts, she dug the tip of her dark pink lace-less converse into the sand a smile on her face as one of the trainers talked animatedly to the group.

The tall, gray haired women that had grown to know the younger trainers pretty well throughout the last few weeks had not been surprised at all to see Rosie and Seraphine there. Of course, she made it a point to usually bug Sera, the girl just made it too easy for her,
with her arms crossed over her chest, half lidded mossy eyes watched the trainers in front of her with amusement at the conversation, standing with Rosie and Sera. Wearing a much different outfit then she usually did for her job, or training as well. Though she still had a pare of boots on, she wore jeans, with a long tank top, that didn't help bit make her already long torso look long. it fitted loosely over her shoulders, half drowsing her wiry form and doing nothing to flatter a non-existing figure.

From where Dove stood near the low wall of the park that overlooked the ocean, things seemed to be swelling in festivities, pokemon running freely and playing with the trainers close by, people laughing, the waves rolling heavily onto the shore. She smiled as the breeze caught her hair and made the hem of her tank top ripple, hoping it would keep her calm as she did her best to form a plan for the day, though her late, late night activities had already been predetermined. Already, she had spotted Rosie, Sera, and Ray, though she had yet to make any move toward the group. While Rosie and Ray didn't intimidate her half as much as the others did, Sera was definitely a force to be reckoned with. However, her spirits were high today, and though she took the moments to herself for now just to watch the celebrations, she fully intended to enjoy the day herself, even with her limitations.
-------
Meanwhile, a tall man ruffled his hair, back to front, then back again, as he made his way through the throngs of people, almost frustrated that he hadn't known such an event was taking place. Though at first he had imagined he could just pass through, he did find himself curious about the number of pokemon running freely through the park and across the sands as he walked through, doing his absolute best not to run into anyone. The sleeves of his shirt hung low around the middle of his arms, the season too hot already for his familiar leather jacket and jeans. With a little consideration, he drew a ball from his belt, releasing a tiny pichu that immediately leapt for him and clung to his shoulder, curiously blinking at the people and chatter around it before it leapt away, zipping toward the closest pokemon it could find-- a growlithe, Zane noted-- and stopping at it's trainer's feet... a man he had met once before. With a frustrated sigh, he made his way over to him, shaking his head as he scooped the pichu up and offered it a glare, only to be given a happy peep in return. "What's up? Lowell, right?"

Ray was rather enjoying listening to the trainers talk, not surprising the topic was on pokemon, and training. Though she had several things to pipe in, the ex-trainer held her tongue, unlike the large Serperior who was flicking his out occasionally, no doubt trying to get accustomed to the smells that overwhelmed this event.
One of the older looking trainers of the group continued on his story, about one of his gym battles. He had a solid style Ray though, and it certainly sounded like he was good at what he did. The kids could learn something from him. Though he also seemed like a clown, making his story extremely engaging to the fellow trainers. Though halfway through his story she could feel that prickle as if someone was looking at her, so she reacted by shaking the hair out of her face and turning her head, eyes instantly catching sight of Seraphine, and Luke. who seemed to have just showed up.
Ray grinned wide, watching the two for a few seconds, before she stepped back away from the trainers, and walked casually up to Sera and Luke, trying not to be noticed right off the bat.
