Snow Fight!

Who: EVERYONE.
What: Snowball free-for-all.
When: February 25th, during the Harvest Moon Valentine's Event!
Where: The road and the area between Houses 16, 19, and 27
Summary: Who knows how it started, but there's a war being waged in the street- and you've just been tagged a few times by a snowball. Join in on the fun, seek revenge, or just try to get out of the fray! Maybe make a new friend or two, you never know what will happen with those Heart Meters!
Rating: S for snow.

It was a calm day until someone decided to be a little mischievous. But accidents do happen, and one snowball lead to another until a full out war started in the middle of the village. Everyone for themselves, pelting each other, dragging the poor passerby into the chaos with either a well aimed or not-so-well aimed snowball.

[Oops, Cilan actually forgot about Snivy for a second there, so the snowball comes as a surprise. Pansage notices this and decides to try to refocus on Snivy again, throwing a snowball or two from the tree its sitting at towards the tree Snivy is sitting in.

Cilan, on the other hand, tries to focus on finding a spot where he can try to hit Ash from where he's behind Charizard. Easier said than done, since Charizard is pretty big, so quite a few of these snowballs will likely end up hitting it instead. He's still got Crustle as his own blockade though, so at least they're even on that front...]

[ While it's Vine Whip is still out Snivy uses it to deflect the incoming snowballs from Pansage. Now that the grass monkey is focusing on her again she'll do the same. The next snowballs she sends is directed towards Pansage.

Meanwhile Charizard continues to block Ash from any snowballs Cilan might be trying to throw. It's tempting to just use fire against this snow but it's belly can take them well enough. Meanwhile Ash just focuses on gathering more snowballs; he's preparing to go on another air raid! ]

[Pansage is still doing its best to dodge and toss some snowballs back at Snivy, but after a moment or two, the snowballs coming from Cilan to throw towards Ash eventually cease for a moment--it seems he's noticed that there hasn't been as many coming from Ash towards him yet. He builds some more snowballs to use, but for now he doesn't throw them yet as he risks peering around from behind Crustle to try to see what's going on with Ash's side.]

Ash? You're not thinking about giving up already, are you? [He doesn't necessarily mean it as a taunt, but more like trying to get an idea of what Ash is planning to do next.]

[ Snivy does the same right back at Pansage. And while the Grass Pokemon snowball fight continues over there Ash pokes his head around and grins. ]

Of course not! Ready t' go Charizard?

[ Charizard pulls a thumbs up as Ash climbs onto the flying Pokemon. Time for round two of aerial attack! ]

An aerial assault again? [It's probably a good thing that Cilan stopped trying to throw anymore and instead stockpiled a couple of them, otherwise he might be in deep trouble here.] This is certainly a familiar flavor...

[But okay, at least he's got some snowballs that he can try to throw back at them? Though granted, Ash does have a better advantage now, since they could fly up high enough to hit Cilan even with his Crustle blockade.]

[ HEY it worked the first time so a second time might work just as well right?

Ash and Charizard do the same as they did before: throw down snowballs while Charizard avoids or blocks the snowballs coming at him. And he may or may not cheat once or twice and use his flames o o p s ]

[Wow Charizard nobody likes cheaters.]

Fire, huh? In that case... [Finally, out comes Stunfisk, who takes its place on top of Crustle's rock for now. If Charizard attempts to use its flames, then Stunfisk will use Scald to douse the fire if necessary--not to attack Charizard with it, but mainly to keep that cheating there to a minimum. ^^;;]

[ oops sorry not sorry.

But great now all the Pokemon are out. Time for a full fledged Pokemon snowball war! Charizard isn't happy about scald countering its flames but hey as long as he can still keep snowballs away from Ash as his trainer continues to try to throw them down at Cilan and his Pokemon. ]

[As long as this doesn't turn into an actual Pokemon battle, everything should be fine? Pansage continues to do its best to keep Snivy distracted from hitting Cilan or the other Pokemon, trying to remain as a solitary opponent for it to contend with. Crustle will keep up being a barricade while Cilan tries to throw snowballs back at Ash and Charizard.

Stunfisk, much like Crustle, lacks the dexterity to throw snowballs like how Cilan and Pansage can, but...well. Cilan will try to give it something to do other than just dousing flames, so if Ash is particularly observant, he might notice that Cilan is occasionally stacking one or two snowballs on the back part of the mud fish's tail while throwing some of his own, until...]

Okay Stunfisk, let's try out a new flavor to add to our strategy! [Stunfisk then proceeds to curl its tail fin back so that it can launch some of the snowballs that had been stacked on its tail upwards towards Ash and Charizard--it looks like Stunfisk is attempting to be a makeshift catapult of sorts. There's no guarantee that all or even any of them will hit them, but it does manage to toss them upward towards them high enough to be a distraction at least?]

[ Yep. Everything will be totally fine.

Maybe.

Snivy seems to be perfectly okay with only have Pansage as an opponent. Getting into that mess that is happening over there? Not happening. Not when flames and scalds and whatever else is being thrown on top of snowballs. She'll just stick to vine whip and make attract again if Pansage gets any bright ideas.

Ash didn't expect the catapult of snowballs from Stunfisk. Charizard, trying not to just cheat and use flamethrower on all the incoming snow dives down in order to avoid them.

To say the last it certainly works as a distraction and they're much closer to the ground now ]

[Pansage doesn't have Vine Whip (...despite the fact the game counterpart did WHICH IS KIND OF WEIRD NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT BUT THAT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE) and most of its other moves would end up turning this into an actual Pokemon battle, so no worries there, Pansage is playing fair at the moment. Any tricks it's got mostly relies on its ability to quickly climb up to different branches or hop over onto branches attached to other trees to throw snow from instead of remaining in one place for too long.]

Excellent work, Stunfisk. Now, let this be the taste of success! [It looks like their distraction worked against Ash and Charizard. Now they are low enough for Cilan to (hopefully) be able to hit them properly now with his own snowballs once they dive down to avoid the ones Stunfisk had thrown up towards them.]

[ Well since Pansage is playing fair so will Snivy only using her vine whip to toss the snowballs (because it certainly wouldn't be able to with her little leaf like arms). Snivy tries to keep up with Pansage's mobility by trying to predict where the monkey was going to go next since she's not really mobile herself unless needed to dodge the incoming snowballs.

And speaking of mobility Ash and Charizard were certainly low enough to the ground for Cilan to hit them properly. In fact one of them was aimed well enough to hit Ash in the face, causing him to make a 'bwah!' sound and almost fall off his ride. ]

[...Ffffffff--]

Heh...hehehaha--[Cilan just...completely fails in his attempt to not laugh or at least smother it behind a hand because oh my god, your reaction was priceless. So yeah, Cilan's honest to god cracking up over here for a second before he attempts to speak again.]--ah, Ash, are you alright? Y--you're not hurt, are you?

[Please say that you're okay, otherwise we're gonna feel like a jerk for laughing.]

[ Ash takes a moment to wipe the snow from his face before responding. ]

I'm okay!

[ Thankfully the snow didn't hit his face hard or else ow that would have hurt. But it also means that he's going to jump off Charizard and start flinging some snowballs from where he's standing in retaliation. Take that Cilan! ]

Ahaha, well, that's good to--ah!

[Guess we probably shouldn't have just been standing there laughing, because Cilan's unprepared when Ash tossing snowballs at him, one hitting him in the face too and causing his own "bwah" comical effect sound as a result. Good job Ash, your retaliation strike was successful!]

pffhahahahaha!

[ This time it's Ash that is bursting out laughing at your expense Cilan. Though of course he's kind enough to stop after a while and-- ]

Are y' all right, Cilan?

[Now Cilan has to take a moment to wipe the snow off of his own face, responding with a slight laugh.]

Yes, don't worry, I'm alright... [Ahaha...] I suppose that's what I get for not paying attention for a moment there.

[It's kind of funny--he hadn't intended to be involved in a snowball fight today, but Cilan's actually having a lot of fun right now, which is something that's probably been sorely needed lately.] Are you ready to call an end to it yet, or shall we continue the battle?

[ Ash looks like he's thinking for a moment before he smiles ] I'm actually gettin' a bit hungry now. Y'think we can go and get something t' eat? [ And get warmed up in the process? ]

Sure, that sounds like a splendid idea! [Plus, the Pokemon could probably use a lunch break too. He gestures for Pansage to come down from its spot in the tree--well, after droping the snowball it had been holding first, it will proceed to climb down so that it can join the other Pokemon, sitting on Crustle.]

What would you like to eat, Ash?

[ Yes good food. Ash takes a moment to think. Really he's good with any kind of food but maybe something warm? They did just finish throwing snowballs at each other. ]

How 'bout some pasta and some hot chocolate! [ because those totally go together ]

[Pfft, Cilan tries to hide a laugh behind a hand at the suggestion, but--]

I can't say if those two flavors would normally mix together harmoniously for some people, but if that's what you'd like, then this taste is fine with me. Plus, I suppose this is the perfect weather for something warm and sweet... [So sure, we can do that, even if we might have to think of a pasta that would be fitting enough...then again, this is Ash we're with, Ash is happy with anything as long as it tastes good.]

I'm sure it'll taste great! [ Those most things do to him so it's not like it really counts or anything. ] Do y' want t' go home and make some or do y' wanna go to Seventh Heaven?

[ He's cool with either one just as long as they get food somewhere! ]

Well, I'm always happy to cook for you, Ash, but if you'd like to go to Seventh Heaven today, that's fine too. After all, I'll likely be cooking something for dinner later this evening, so you'll be able to have a meal of excellent taste to look forward to tonight as well!

[So he'll let you choose what you wanna do for now. Either way, he plans on doing some amount of cooking today, either now or later.]

[ he thinks about this for a moment. Well, he can always go to Seventh Heaven and have pasta there whenever he wants but Cilan's pasta on the other hand... he could probably also have whenever he wants but for sake of ease: ]

Let's go home! I want t' have your pasta today, Cilan!

[We will privately take this as a silent victory, in that our food is superior to Seventh Heaven...I MEAN UH.]

As you wish! Let's head back and prepare an excellent meal, and then it'll be lunch time~! [Cilan's Pokemon start cheering at this--they're getting pretty hungry too, so if they head back home, he'll be able fix some food for the Pokemon as well!]
