Penalopy's voice sounded happier when her sister joined in and they sang the song together. Soon they would see lots of their friends again.
As Penalopy sang, James helped Brock to create the summoning circle; he didn't have anything else to do so he might as well. This was one instance he could rely on Penalopy to stay where she was and he didn't need to watch her as closely.

A yawning star-shaped Pokémon floated down until he sat alongside Penalopy on the shrine. His slumber had been cut short, but the music of the two sisters started to fill him with energy and the Jirachi smiled as he watched them sing.

A man also approached the shrine; his hair brown with streaks of yellow and red in it and he wore a brown sweater and pants. He stopped as he watched the shrine, grooming his white moustache with thwo fingers. With his red eyes he glanced around; he had agreed with his siblings they would meet here. This region being their home and the travel short, there was no need for them to meet up before heading here.

"What a cold day that was," Andy mentioned. "I almost died that day." The cheerful tone in his voice was completely misplaced, but it was an adventure filled with mostly good memories and even if it had been a dangerous one, he remembered it fondly. "I still don't regret going up there."

Merlin flew with the Talonflame and kept an eye on all the humans below. It wasn't dangerous here, he didn't need to guard them, but it was a habit to keep an eye on Andy to make sure he wasn't getting himself in a dangerous situation.

Benny happily returned the greeting and as he flew he danced a bit to the music.
"You are in a good mood," Andy said to him.
"Of course! Don't you feel it? It's a happy day today."
"But you're happy with every day."
"True!" Benny replied, followed by a happy sound and he flew down and grabbed Andy's shoulder to hang on it. "You kissed her, didn't you!"
"I can demonstrate what we did if you need a visual recounting of the story."
Benny chuckled. "You're just looking for an excuse to kiss her again."
Andy laughed and praised Benny's intelligence.

Michael grinned too, but not because he was happy about seeing the guardians; he was happy because Niccia was. To see her excited about everyone she saw and everyone she would see today, that was fantastic. And Benny was right, this forest felt different with the Meloetta's singing. It felt mystical.

"Whoa," Mindy stepped back when there something green close to her and then she recognized it as Celebi. "You startled me," she sighed. "This is your part of the forest, isn't it?" she asked.

Perfect. I'm ready for Starfall now XD

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

How would you feel about breaking the lore? Not for the past, but for the future. I've been toying with the idea of Mindy wishing that Jirachi doesn't need to sleep for 1000 years because she feels sorry for the Pokémon not being able to live most of the time.
And then Jirachi wouldn't have to hibernate after StarFall ends, but can only grant wishes when the comet passes.
This doesn't have to happen of course, I'm okay with staying true to Jirachi's lore too.

Stories from the cube

From what I've seen in roleplays and in the stories that were submitted for the writing contests: dialogue is done in plain text, but in some roleplays people decide to give the lines of dialogue a colour to make it stand out in the rest of the text. Not everyone does that though, I personally always use plain text and use italics for thoughts, emphasizing words, or when someone speaks in a different language than the one used by the main character(s) in the RP.

I'll copy/paste them to my list of characters with their natures and abilities so I can look them up when I need to.

Also, about Jirachi. How will we do that in this RP?
Bulbapedia says:

Jirachi hibernates for extensive periods, forming a protective crystalline shell as it sleeps. However, it is still capable of fighting while asleep if it is in danger. It awakens for seven days every thousand years, but can also waken if sung to by a voice of purity. (...) The anime further reveals that Jirachi's awakening is linked to the Millennium Comet and that its third eye has the ability to absorb the energy Jirachi needs for hibernation.

Do we keep the 1000 year hibernation? Which also leads me to the question: how old are all the legendaries? If Jirachi wakes up every thousand years for a week he may not know the others very well because he barely spent time with them.

NaNoWriMo 2020

Two.

I did my first in 2018 and won that one, didn't join last year because I didn't have a story idea. So this year is my second time.

Rudrig frowned as he listened to Rose. "Headquarters. But why would they want to grab Freya?" That didn't make any sense. Freya was just another agent and unless she broke the rules she wouldn't be arrested.
With the phone between his shoulder and cheek he started packing some things in a briefcase, big enough for his laptop and some files he wanted to bring along. The rest could stay here; none of it was essential.

---

Benjamin and Mike examined Freya for a moment. It was odd to see her so defensive. What did she have to fear? Or was she stealing and had they caught her in the act?
"We're not here to take you," Benjamin said. "Why would someone take you? Are you stealing all that?" He noticed his phone buzz and he quickly looked at the message.
"We're just here for the gems," Mike added, showing the one he had found. "Harriet is the one collecting them, they are dangerous for humans. If you give them to us, we'll make sure they end up with Harriet." Although he wouldn't give it to her; that was for Ben or Ethan.

Stories from the cube

Ah, you write never as newer. It took me a moment to realise it.
Why have you decided to do that?

And the italics for talking, is that a style choice? Usually people use italics for thoughts, so it took me a bit to get used to the curisive sentences being spoken words.

Overall though, I like this story. It's mysterious.

NaNoWriMo 2020

I just reached the 50k \o/

I had planned on a few timeskips in my story, one going from our time to a 150 years from now. And then a big timeskip to 2000 or 3000 years in the future.

It took me all the 50k to write about the adventures of my ageless people in the current setting and the near-future dystopia XD

So now I summarized what happened between the near-future dystopia and the iceage and with the end of that summary I reached 50018 words. Now I'll use the rest of NaNoWriMo to explore the hunter-gatherers and the ageless ones living among these tribes. Looking forward to this part.

But wow, that dystopia-part took me longer to tell than I had anticipated.
