Log:

With the perky new song singing about the city, the summer Bug-Catching contest is back on in full force! With everything that's been going on lately, it's high time they start some for-fun things to do. So, mid-afternoon on Thursday, they gather the participants. After the participants check their other pokémon in at the front, they're all asked to line up in the front. From there, one park official reads the rules while another passes out twenty sport balls. Then once everything's settled, they're just about ready to go!

Three... Two... One... Catch!


The tagging format can be however you like, just please stick to the specific contest's sub-thread underneath.
Current Contest: July 11

Hmm, I wasn't thinking that far ahead! If I do manage to beat Whitney, I'd probably move on to the next town to get the badge there. But I bought some eggs, so I think I'll be focusing on taking care of them when they hatch before then.

[Maka is secretly a giant eggmother.]

Sweet! (Rainbow takes a moment to showcase to Maka -ta-da! Instant Fog Badge- the prize she'll receive from Ecruteak's Gym Leader should she win.) The next town after Goldenrod is Ecruteak, and the Gym Leader there's nuts about Ghost-types. Better have a well-placed strategy to beat him first, or make sure your team's got higher levels.

The others are still in Cianwood, which is where you go after Ecruteak, so if I've gotten back to them by the time you get there, or even if you decide to head onto Olivine which is after Cianwood...we'd be in the area if you wanted to travel with us.

(Rainbow's pretty sure the others wouldn't mind having another non-pony in the group. And she actually studied a bit on the Johto region!)

[soundmind]

Would that be okay?

[Maka, she wouldn't have mentioned that if it wasn't okay!]

Wow, it'd be cool to travel with you guys...I've been going solo ever since my journey started.

[bestofthebest]

Hey, yeah! You already know Twilight and some of the others, right? We'll do anything for our friends, and if you're traveling alone...we have to make sure you don't travel alone anymore.

(Plus, with Maka in the group she can totally translate everything Twilight says so she'll be able to get it!)

You're my friend, Maka...I said I wouldn't leave you hanging when your journey started, and I meant it.

[soundmind]

Heh, yep! I've talked to Rarity and Twilight before, and I am seeing a pink-haired girl around here...she might be with you guys, considering--[she makes a gesture at RD's hair. She's just teasing, really.]

No, but really, I'm honored that I've been able to make such good friends in this world, especially considering I'm on my own. I'm grateful.

[bestofthebest]

(She blinks a moment as she motions to her own hair before laughing; if she can handle Twilight's teasing, Maka's will be no sweat!) Hahaha, you met up with Pinkie Pie already? Yeah, she's with us and totally random! You'll like her a lot.

So am I! I'm glad I met up with my friends from home, but making friends in this world has been really cool. (She doesn't do this much, and she's grateful it's only the two of them and their Pokemon around but...Maka, Rainbow will glance around for a moment before pulling you into a hug.)

[soundmind]

[She doesn't freeze up like most others would, but she does jolt a little before returning the hug herself, warmly and with a not insignificant amount of gratitude for the affection.

Little known fact about Maka, she's actually a fairly physical person, this includes affectionate (but friendly) gestures like hugging or holding hands.]

I'm pretty sure I'd like any friend of yours, Rainbow. I mean, if they're your friend, they'd have to be cool, right?

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow totally doesn't mind affectionate -friendly- gestures from Maka! Still, she thinks about her rep as evidenced by her briefly looking around before said hug, even though she technically doesn't need to worry about said rep.

She laughs and nods while pulling back.)

Sure! You already met Twilight and Rarity, and you're gonna meet up with Pinkie Pie later on; any friend of mine you meet here you know they've gotta be cool.
