Ignia: Town of Lightgrasp: Camp Moonbrand: Age of Mew(waning): Year 656: The Year-Turning Festival
Moonbrand Current Total Funds: 60,000P
The streets of Lightgrasp and the nearby Camp Moonbrand were decorated with a varied assortment of colored banners and streamers while performers walked the streets and alleyways. It was the final day of the Age of Mew, Year 656. When they all woke up the next morning, the Age of Entei would begin, an era characterized by the constant changes that The Known World seemed to be undergoing as of late.
Lightgrasp itself, being a small town when compared to cities such as Emberguard and Flamewater, did not see as large an increase in tourism as the larger cities of Ignia did. However, those tourists that did show up to Lightgrasp showed up as raucously as a crowded tavern.
Alvar, Lightgrasp's new reshiram mayor found himself swamped with finding travelers spare places to stay. Meanwhile, Conlan, Rudo, and the rest of Moonbrand went about their day of celebration.

"Happy Year-Turning Festival, Gina!" Rudo smiled as she walked up to the Glaceon, who was patiently waiting in line for some funnel cake.
"Hey Rudo, same to you!" Gina smiled back. "Would you like me to order a second funnel cake when I get to the front of the line for you?"
"Nah that's okay" Rudo shook her head. "I don't want to feel indebted to anyone."
"Oh, don't be ridiculous" Gina tried to reassure her "It's just a token of appreciation for all you've done to make the pokemon like myself with certain...undesirable qualities feel welcome."
"The answer is still 'no', sorry. Tonight's super important for me, and I can't let a bloated feeling from funnel cake ruin it. Tell ya what though, if you want to show appreciation, how about agreeing to spare with me sometime?"
"Oh?" Gina rose an eyebrow. "I'm not sure we're the best sparring partners. I fail to see how much of a challenge I'll be for you."
"Oh it's not for me" Rudo shook her head again before pointing at Gina. "It's to test you! I wanna see how well you can actually perform when backed into a corner!"
"Well, when you put it like that, I suppose I have to accept now, but it'll have to wait, because I plan to eat funnel cake, and there is no way I'm running around sparring after eating all that sugar and deep fried dough."
Gina and Ornia: Support Rank C Reached(from a double rank up)
"Ornia?" Gina asked as she finally got to the front of the funnel cake line. "What in the world are you doing selling funnel cakes?"
"I'll have you know that jobs of creation are noble professions in Fable." Ornia stated bluntly as she handed out funnel cakes to other pokemon at the front of the line. "I admit though, I'm far from the best baker out there. I have a habit of-"
Her sentence was cut off as she accidentally bumped into a numel worker, knocking off the platters he was carrying, each one smashing itself against the wall of the deep frier.
"A habit of breaking the dishes…." Ornia sighed.
"Well, while it's nice to see you show some modesty and humility for once, I'd like some funnel cake within the next few minutes please. Sort of starving in this desert heat."
"Oh, right, of course." Ornia turned to go grab a tray of funnel cake.
"Er- actually, can you have that numel go get it?" Gina asked quickly.
"Hey! I don't break the dishes that often!" Ornia responded as she picked up the tray only to break it against the top of her head.
"I'll...I'll go get the numel…"
Verden and Gina: Support Rank X Reached(from double rank up)
"There she is!" Verden exclaimed as he wrapped his short arms around Gina from behind while she was eating funnel cake and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey there!" She smiled back at him. "Want some?" She picked a strip of funnel cake up with her mouth and held it out to him.
"Don't mind if I do." Verden snickered before taking a small bite, and then another, going down the funnel cake until their lips met, prompting a small giggle from Gina as she softened her lips to continue kissing her lover despite there no longer being funnel cake between them.
"So…." Verden pulled away for a bit. "As you know, the Star Shower is tonight, and I decided that I'd go ahead and get us one of the greatest views Lightgrasp has to offer of the event. It's nice and far away from everyone else, so it'll be just us."
"Oh will it really?" Gina laughed as the two kissed again. "Then I'm looking forward to having an amazing time with you. Want to help me finish this pastry off?"
"You know I'd love to." Verden responded as they kissed yet again. "Unfortunately though, I have some business I need to take care of by myself first. It's part of a surprise I have planned for you tonight."
"Oh, no fair…" Gina laughed. "You can't even spare forty minutes?" Gina's paw began to trace up and down Verden's thigh.
"Well...I suppose I did see that there weren't many pokemon over by an alley a few blocks south of here…"
Verden tightened his grip on Gina and pushed his hands up to cup her breasts. "That's only if you're feeling naughty enough for it though."
After letting out a moan before quickly stopping herself so as not to attract attention, Gina grabbed another piece of funnel cake with her mouth, and gave her response as she held the piece towards Verden.
"Lead the way~."
Charlie and Hex: Support Rank C Reached
"Hex!" Charlie called Hex over to sit near her at a small noodle shop having been set up on the street. "Come here, I just had a few cups of sake, and I'm ready to tell you how I got this scar."
"For real?" Hex asked as she sat down near Charlie. "That's great! How'd it happen?"
"Well, Like I said when we were talking in Geotherm, I was on a mission with my old mercenary band. Our objective was to catch this outlaw, a crawdaunt by the name of Carl. He's a serial killer, and he has a disgusting habit of taking out the organs of his victims and laying them out neatly on the floor of his mystery dungeon in Crystallia, the former Water Province. Needless to say, the mission didn't go so well, and I barely made it away with my life. I've been avoiding narrow spaces, and especially avoiding water, ever since."
"Wow." Hex blinked. "I'm sorry to hear that. If it makes you feel any better, I have my own failures under my belt, I'd be happy to share them with you at a later time, preferably one when I'm buzzed and you aren't. Sound good?"
"Sounds great. I look forward to hearing about your past."
Ornia and Semora: Support Rank C Reached
"Of course I'd run into you here." Ornia noted as she approached Semora who was looking over various antiques being sold by a merchant traveling from the Grass Province. "The Ancient Momiji antiques are some of the most exquisite aren't they?"
"Yeah." Semora responded, not quite caring about the conversation as she pointed to an ornate knife scabbard. "Is that real or a replica?"
"It's somewhat both." Ornia answered before the merchant could. "Back during the Great Type War, the leader of Momiji and her descendents kept getting assassinated, eventually, the Empress of the time found the feudal lord responsible and had his entire estate burned to the ground, and none of what was restored from the wreckage had any of its gleaming golden color, so artists were hired to paint over the burnt objects and redo the patterns. That scabbard is clearly one of them though, since you can see where the paint has chipped away to reveal the original design."
Semora turned to Ornia and rose a brow.
"Do you….do you want it?"
"What? Oh, no, not in the slightest. I personally prefer modern Fable designs above all else, so I'm quite happy with what I already have. I just felt like sharing the history of the product you were looking at."
"Well, it was quite an extensive knowledge for something you say you care so little about. That's all I'm saying" Semora replied.
"As one of Tapu Lele's chosen I must concern myself with all lives, even those that have long ended." Ornia laughed. Semora wasn't quite sure, but she wondered if Ornia had just tried to make some kind of joke.
Ultima and Ornia: Support Rank D Reached
"Excuse me, miss carbink." A voice announced behind Ornia snapping her out of the trance she was in whilst looking at ancient Ignia antiques. "I'm somewhat turned around because of this festival. How would I reach the town outskirts and Camp Moonbrand?"
"Do you have a mission?" Ornia asked as she turned around, and looked up, and up, and finally saw the face of what appeared to be a mega gyarados. "One moment." She said as she fearlessly floated up to the pokemon's eye level.
"I am Ornia, Serenity Soldier and a gift to Moonbrand by queen Deirdre of Fable herself. If there is something you wish to ask of us, speak now as you have my undivided attention."
"I go by Ultima, and I intend to join Moonbrand." The gyarados, Ultima, replied. "I wish to explore the lands that Kyogre will one day grant me."
"You'd be better off forgetting about what your god will one day grant you, and focusing instead on improving the life that the glorious goddess Tapu Lele has deemed you worthy of. The only lands Kyogre can grant are the already useless ones covered in water."
"Do not speak ill of my faith, Serenity Soldier. I have no quarrel with yours."
"I suppose the matter of your incorrect religious customs can wait until a time after the festival, yes." Ornia reluctantly agreed. "Fine then, I'll bring you back to our campsite and hopefully Conlan and Alvar won't be long."
Semora and Conlan: Support Rank C Reached
"Stop telling everyone I'm a trained killer." Semora confronted Conlan.
"Well, I mean, I would, but when I'm constantly asked who our strongest members are, you inevitably keep coming up because of it. I'm not wandering around blabbing my mouth off."
"Well, I'd still appreciate it nonetheless if you could leave the trained killer part of my history out of conversations that don't involve me. I don't care much about what's being said, but I am TO'd that you'd say such things without an employee's explicit consent. Understand where I'm coming from?"
"I suppose I do, yes. From now on, no more talking about your work history without explicit consent from you, that being said, may I have explicit consent from you to do that? We both know I'm going to be asked this question in the future many times over."
"I feel like it defeats the purpose of this talk, but I did just say that it was okay so long as I gave you permission, so fine. Fuck it."
"Don't worry Semora." Conlan did his best to reassure her. "If anything dangerous does come out of this, I'll take full responsibility."
"Somehow that doesn't inspire confidence." Semora mumbled as Conlan walked away.
Conlan and Rudo: Support Rank X Reached(from double rank up)
"So that's another Moonbrand member…" Conlan mumbled to himself as he entered his and Rudo's small house.
"Unh~..." He heard Rudo moan from where their beds were located.
"Conlan…."
Conlan quickly rushed towards the room before gasping and stopping both his breath and motion as he noticed Rudo lying on his bed, playing with herself, still somewhat unaware of his presence.
"Unh~, oh yeah…" The speed of her fingers began to increase. "Yes….yes...yes yes yes yesssss~!"
As she caught her breath after the discharge, she finally noticed a petrified Conlan in the doorway of the bedroom.
Conlan, for his part, had no idea how to react, but Rudo's eyes lit up after quickly scanning his aura.
"It's...alright…" She panted as she reached her arms out. "Come here...please…"
Conlan gulped, hoped to whatever deity had brought him here that they wouldn't mind his acceptance of this offer, and strode towards Rudo confidently, leaning over her, he brushed his right hand behind her head and used his thumb to message one of her aura sensors.
"Ohhhh~" Rudo moaned before she lifted her own right arm to bring Conlan's face down into a passionate kiss.
"Please forgive me for this…" She asked as she pushed her tongue into his mouth. "I just couldn't hold it in any longer…"
"It's alright, Rudo." Conlan responded as he felt his member stiffen more than it already had.
He pulled away from the kiss and then widened the gap between Rudo's legs.
"No, don't look at that! I was just-"
"You're so wet down there." Conlan observed as some of the liquid from Rudo's earlier discharge began to coat his fingers.
"W-well~" Rudo moaned "That's….unh~...Ahhh!"
Conlan's fingers were once again coated in a torrent of juices, even as he pulled them away.
"R-Rudo…" Conlan could hardly contain himself. "C-can I-?"
"P-please!" Rudo exclaimed. "Hurry up and put it in already!"
"Ungh...Rudo...it's so tight...you're squeezing it really forcefully."
"B-but, it's so big, and hot...and I can't help it…"
"Does it hurt?" Conlan asked. "I've read that it usually hurts-"
"A, a little…" Rudo responded. "But it also feels kind of nice, especially since it's with you. Go ahead, keep going, please!"
Conlan nodded, and summoned all his might to give a thrust.
"Rudo, I love you."
"I love you too, Conlan."
Conlan and Magdalene: Support Rank B Reached
Feeling both tired and different, Conlan found the energy in him to leave his house again.
After walking a couple hundred feet, he noticed Magdalene training against a dummy.
"Dammit." Magdalene cursed as she finished some form of combination move she was working on, only to not be impressed with the damage it did.
"Keep at, Magdalene." Conlan cheered her on still in somewhat of a stupor.
"Conlan, I think maybe you should go home and get some sleep." Magdalene looked at the monferon. "You seem a little out of it."
"I definitely won't be getting any sleep at home if I go back there now." Conlan chuckled. "But what went wrong with your move? It looked fine to me. You were trying to combine Extrasensory and Fire Blast, right?"
"Yeah, but I don't want my Fire Blast to be a ball, I want it to have a chance and making the opponent flinch. I can combine the moves, but I can't seem to combine them in a certain way. It's aggravating."
"Well, I'll be glad to help you sometime later on in the week if you want."
"For real? That'd be great, thank you!"
Rudo and Verden: Support Rank D Reached
"Hey Verden…" a recently bathed Rudo tapped a recently bathed Verden on the shoulder as he walked through the streets of Lightgrasp. "I have some questions that I've been wondering about for a long time now. You're from Nike, the Fighting Province. I was just curious...what's it like up there?"
"It's a warzone up there." Verden answered "There are probably only a handful of decent pokemon still remaining as permanent residents of the cities, and those pokemon often have to keep their decency to themselves. When Gina and I went there to investigate Cahir, we met a primeape named Palmer who was very helpful, but he made it clear that he was the exception and not the rule. It's nothing like the nation it used to be. Now, the rest of The Known World laughs at it, but the threat Nike poses is an all too real one, which is why becoming mercenaries is such a popular trend in these recent years. You get far more training in as a mercenary than as an ordinary soldier. Though I suppose there is Camp Dorado…"
"Camp Dorado is real?!" Rudo's eyes lit up.
"The rumor is real." Verden quickly remembered his oath to secrecy. "But I personally think that as long as that rumor remains, there's nothing to stop a well-meaning Nike native from making his own Camp Dorado, don't you think so too?"
"Yeah, I suppose I do! Thanks for the talk Verden!"
"Anytime."

"So, Bravero, care to share your story, or at least in the mood to hear my own story's full context?"
"A bit of both, I'd say." Bravero shrugged with a nod. "My brother is currently being held captive by The Azure Syndicate until I pay off a debt that my father incurred. Perhaps you've heard of them?"
"I have indeed." Verden nodded. "In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was my brother's organization that helped traffic your brother to the Azure syndicate. We did jobs for them and groups like them in the past. We managed to do this through the help of a representative of an organization called The Abyssal Brokers, and he would always call me-

"There's my favorite mushroom!" A weavile said, sending shivers down Verden's spine as he came up behind him and handed the breloom a pouch of poke.
"Don't keep that on your waist out in the open, man! You know this!"
"Speak of the fuckin' devil." Verden laughed. "Bravero, this is Wesley."
Bravero walked up to Wesley. "Azure Syndicate, information, now."
"Whoa, whoa, easy there big guy." Wesley held his hands up. "Let's all be friends here, alright? I'm here as a 'mon out of a job, you get me? Just sticking around to see this festival shindig. The celebration is way cooler here where there's actual daylight, and a starry sky isn't obstructed by clouds or some other thing in the sky. Besides, since their attack on the Lord n' Lady, we've cut ties with 'em. We aren't exactly keen on those who try to expand into our territory when we were there first."
"No, that makes zero sense." Bravero shook his head. "I'm guessing from your speech and context clues that you're from Noironia?"
"The one and only."
"That's too far from the Azure Syndicate's range in the Normal Province. Besides, they aren't concerned with expansion. Whatever caused them to do anything, if even was them, was definitely something someone close to your lord or lady did."
"Well well well, looks like we've got a trivia buff over here!" Wesley laughed. "I like you, so I'll cut you a deal. You help me get to the bottom of what happened back in my village, and I help you get your younger brother back. I suppose I should mention I was listening in on your conversation the whole time by the way."
Wesley turned to Verden. "So, where's your boss-man, Conlan? I don't exactly have anywhere else to go, and with you and Sir Sibling over here, I'm starting to get curious as to what it's like."
Galexialyn and Gina: Support Rank D Reached
"You reek of mass murder." A heavily scarred weavile wearing all manner of gothic jewelry approached Gina on the street and those were the first words to leave the pokemon's mouth.
"You reek of moldy books."
"I have plenty." The weavile motioned to her brown bag. "Now, escort me to the base of the mercenary band known as Moonbrand. I intend to join."
"Look, I get that Moonbrand's thing is letting anyone join, but you're really creeping me out with that dagger you keep fiddling with, and I honestly have half a mind to raise an alarm rather than bring you home with me."
"Well, if you refuse, I suppose it has been a while since I feasted on the limbs of the living…I guess I-"
Gina quickly pinned the weavile to the ground, though she didn't seem fazed. "-could hold off on any snacks until later tonight so that I can savor every bite I take out of you."
"Don't fuck with me, you freak." Gina lowered her head towards the weavile. "I've killed fighting type pokemon more powerful than you, but I really don't want to taint what so far has been a pretty good day with your blood. I will if I have to though, so do I have to?"
"No...you don't have to." The weavile responded. "I am Galexialyn. And I was simply curious to see how you would react to that kind of language. Go ahead and call me Galex or Xialyn depending on whether you wish to treat me as male or female. I personally don't quite care all that much. After all, the only real difference is who does what during sex."
"You're lucky you caught me having a good day." Gina sighed as she got off. "Listen Xialyn, I'll take you to camp, but you've got to promise me something. Don't do what you just did to me to a breloom named Verden, because if I see it, I will assume the worst, and will attack to kill."
"Very well. I'll only test him when you aren't around."
"That wasn't the goal I was hoping for, but fine. I suppose that works too."

"Semora!" Bravero called out to the sceptile as he walked towards her.
"I was wondering when you were going to show up to pester me." Semora said jokingly, before catching herself smiling and changing her expression to a frown. "What do you want?"
"Only to talk, but this time not about any Azure Syndicate. The topic I'm most interested in right now...is you."
"Me?" Semora, try as she might, couldn't keep the blush from showing on her cheeks.
"Yes, you. Why is it that you are an assassin when you very much don't act like one?"
"Well, since I know you won't leave me alone until I tell you anyways, I guess I'll let you know." Semora sighed. "When I was 16, recently evolved into a grovyle, my mother was killed in a house fire set by a magmortar. My dad, a professional assassin at the time, helped me escape, and together we tracked the magmortar down. He was my first kill, but my father was injured in the fight. No medic could heal his leg. A ligament had been torn beyond any hope of repair, and he could no longer work, so I decided to do the work for him. We used the money I made to buy a new house and even today I send the money I make back to him, following his code of rules for being a professional assassin. The most important being only take contracts to kill pokemon who deserve death. Now that I've told you all of this, I too have a question for you, Bravero."
"Go ahead, I'll answer to the very best of my ability."
"Why do you think I don't act like an assassin? My profession and personality need not be the same thing, but beyond that, I thought I very much was acting like an assassin."
"I suppose you are pretty stoic ofttimes." Bravero laughed. "But, I suppose I just didn't see you as an assassin. My first thought about you wasn't 'so there's Semora, the assassin, better be careful', my first thought was 'so there's Semora, wow she's so pretty, I wonder if she'll go to the Star Shower with me.'"
"That's...one way to ask." Semora momentarily avoided eye contact. "But I'm not the best at group parties so-"
"We won't be in a group though. It'll just be us. No Verden, no Aaron, no one but us."
"Well then…" Semora smiled as she looked Bravero in the eyes. "I suppose it's a date."

"Wait, please!" He stuck his hand out, panting. "It's really important, it's about your book!"
"Oh no, I didn't drop it again did I?!" Charlie looked around nervously.
"N-no, nothing like that." the kirlia grabbed Charlie's hands. "That's my favorite book. Where did you get it?! Does the store still sell that copy? Hardcover or only paperback?"
"Back away before I attack you." Charlie responded with a smile and the kirlia backed up.
"So sorry about that!" He laughed. "My name's Ken, and I've been wandering for a while in search of Camp Moonbrand."
"I'm Charlie, and if you're looking for Camp Moonbrand, well, it's just down that road." Charlie pointed him in the right direction. "You aren't a criminal?"
"No?" Ken rose an eyebrow.
"Then you're probably already in." Charlie rolled her eyes. "Conlan just accepts everyone who comes our way."
"Thank you very much Charlie." Ken smiled. "I was wondering if perhaps you would allow me to accompany you to the Star Shower?"
"Oh, well, I had planned to go with my friend, but I suppose you can come too. Fair warning though, you'll be disappointed if you try to make a move on me. I'm a girls only womon."

"The only globes I have information on are of no interest to you." Gina responded. "I will say, however, that I have tried to find answers, but there's nothing so far. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it came from a completely separate world than this one."
"W-what?" Magdalene gave a nervous laugh. "That's ridiculous, you're just teasing me."
"Eh, you aren't wrong, but I'm still telling the truth." Gina shrugged. "There seems to be nothing about that globe in any texts available to the public, and for obvious reasons, I don't feel like breaking into some psychic province library just for a little orb around your neck."

"You said you wanted to learn, and wanted to schedule a lesson when we returned to Lightgrasp." Charlie nodded. "I've brought a few different types of pencils, but since you're a glaceon, I think maybe I should have brought something a little more quadruped friendly like acrylic paints.
"Well, let's just start the lesson, and we'll see how well I can do holding a pencil in my mouth." Gina suggested. "If it turns out we needed paint, we can just go get some together."
"Fair enough." Charlie nodded. "Let's get this lesson started."

"Magdalene, are these tossed out strategies of your design?"
"Huh?" Magdalene turned around to see the sheets of paper Ornia had dropped at her feet. "Oh, yeah those are mine. I didn't-"
"Would you mind terribly if I kept them?"
"But they aren't good!" Magdalene protested. "I tossed them because they didn't hold up in practice! Moonbrand is too small a group for those things to be doable."
"You are correct, but an army is no small group, and the way all these strategies take property into account so as to cause the least amount of damage to a living area or an ecosystem, you have the mind of a Fable strategist."
"I very certainly do not have the mind of a Fable strategist." Magdalene responded, thinking of Concordia.
"Well, perhaps not now, but these strategies do have merit, and you're still young. In ten years time when you're well into your adulthood, you may be quite the proud tactician if you keep at it though. After all, Concordia began her career as the laughing stock of the Fable military, and now she's weasled her way into Deirdre and Paulo's court. You aren't even a laughing stock, so imagine how much further you might be able to go."
"Well, I'll think about it." Magdalene said. "And sure, feel free to keep the strategies there."

"I'm Ken." Ken replied with a bow. "I'm not the best fighter, but I pride myself as a bard on my support capabilities."
"Support capabilities?" Bravero rose a brow. "Well, we certainly could use support, especially now that our healer recently kicked the bucket."
"Actually, I know Heal Pulse too." Ken smiled. "So I guess we're killing two pidgeys with one Smack Down."
"Then let me ask you a question kid, are you ready to see some of the most fucked up shit this world has to offer? I'm talking friends being raped and then eaten levels of fucked up shit."
"Anyone who says they're ready to see stuff like that is either lying or messed up in the head." Ken responded "But while I doubt I'll ever be ready to see those kinds of things, it's another story entirely concerning whether or not I'm prepared to join Moonbrand anyways."
This got a loud and hearty laugh out of Bravero. "You're alright, Ken." He held out a fist. "Here's to working together with ya."

"Um…" Verden thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Nothing that I feel safe telling someone not yet considered an adult. Sorry."

"You misunderstand, by Kyogre's will, I shall rule The Known World one day."
"Well, the king of Crystallia has a wife and kid, and Kyogre hasn't been around since The Age of Mew began, and he hasn't been part of popular religion since...well I'm not sure he's ever been part of popular religion."
"Please refrain from insulting my clan's patron deity." Ultima responded. "I am here not only to introduce myself, but to ask for your opinion on a specific matter."
"That specific matter will have to wait, sorry." Aaron replied. "I've got a haxorus to go find before it gets too late. Catch me alone again some other time, alright?"
"Very well." Ultima nodded as Aaron walked away. "I wonder if he truly is the rumored pokemon with a cannon in his chest..."
Aaron and Semora: Support Rank C Reached
"Hey, Semora, have you seen Hex around recently?" Aaron asked as he noticed Semora, still browsing various antiques.
"I do not believe I have yet, no." Semora shook her head. "Was that all?"
"Well actually, since I've got you here, and you don't appear to be busy...I guess I do have a question. What would be a good way to ask Hex to the Star Shower Festival?"
"I don't know, we don't talk much."
"But I've seen you guys sparring nearly every day together since we got back! How do you not talk much?"
"How do you not talk much with Bravero?" Semora asked. "You two spare all the time too, don't you?"
"Well that might be true, but not as often as you and Hex."
"You might want to change that then." Semora responded. "Hex and I, all other things allowing, would spare even more often than we already do if we could help it."
"Those sound like fighting words." Aaron furrowed his brow as he grinned. "Later this month let's put the money where your mouth is. You and Hex, me and Bravero. 1000 poke each."
"Very well." Semora agreed. "It'll be the easiest poke I've ever earned."
Ultima and Conlan: Support Rank D Reached
"Thank you for letting me join, boss." Ultima lowered his head in a bow towards Conlan. "I'll be sure to remember it when I rule over you, and I will look upon you and your descendants favorably."
"Have you been talking with Ornia?" Conlan rose a brow.
"The carbink paladin of Tapu Lele?" Ultima asked. "She was the first Moonbrand I ever encountered, but I have made a point to avoid her since then, as she seemed rather intolerant of my faith in Kyogre, he who has given me these lands to rule over."
"I can't believe we have a second one." Conlan mumbled.
"What? I couldn't hear you." Ultima lowered his head.
"This new team is going to be fun!" Conlan lied about what he said.
"Ah." Ultima nodded. "Yes it is, isn't it?"
Galexialyn and Conlan: Support Rank D Reached
"Are you the leader of Moonbrand?" Galexialyn stuck her head into Conlan and Rudo's house and asked Conlan, who got up from where he had just sat down to go talk to the new visitor.
"Wesley?" Conlan asked, momentarily confused. "No, you're not Wesley. Who are you?"
"I am Galexialyn." She bowed. "I was directed here by your Gina and I wish to join."
"Well, sure...but...what is your name again?"
"Galexialyn."
"Is there anything other than that I can call you so I don't mispronounce it?"
"Galex and Xialyn are both fine nicknames, depending on whether you wish to treat me as male or female."
"Um...okay...then which do you prefer?"
"It matters not to me. The only difference between the two is who does what during sex, and I'm much more open about-"
"Alright, Xialyn it is then." Conlan sighed as he waved a hand. "If only because there's already a male weavile that just joined this morning."
Hex and Aaron: Support Rank A Reached(from double rank up)
"There you are!" Both Aaron and Hex said at the same time to each other. "I've been looking all over for you!"
"Will you go to the Star Shower Festival with me?"
"Really?"
"Yes, really, will you go?"
"Yeah, I'll go!"
"Just the two of us, alright?"
"Of course."
"Alright see you there."
"Likewise!"
After realizing they had just had the exact same conversation twice over with each other, both of them erupted into laughter.
Ken and Rudo: Support Rank D Reached
"F-fl-flannel-" Rudo tried desperately to read a sign. "Flannel coats?"
"*Ahem*." Ken coughed. "Funnel cake. That sign says 'funnel cake'."
"Oh? Ohhhhhh…." Rudo seemed to realize whatever mistake she had made. "Thanks, um…"
She cocked her head. "Are you even on Moonbrand? Why are you wearing that scarf?"
"Oh, right." Ken bowed. "My name is Ken, and I'm a new Moonbrand member. Check with Conlan and he'll confirm it. I assume by your own scarf that you must be Rudo?"
"Yeah, that's me." Rudo nodded. "Well, welcome to Moonbrand, I hope to work well with you in the coming age."
"Consider the sentiment returned." Ken smiled. "By the way, I've got to ask...are you only recently learning literacy?"
"W-well...up until recently, I didn't really need it since I was sitting around an orphanage all day long, but since forming Moonbrand, it's become a bit of a necessity and while I might be a little slow on the uptake, I'm getting there! I'll be fully literate soon just you wait!"
"In that case, how about I offer you even more. There's Normal sure, but how would you like to read Psychic, or Dragon, or better yet, Ancient Poison. That's an interesting one. As a bard, I've got to be able to read all manner of languages, and I can speak a few too."
"That's so cool!" Rudo's eyes lit up. "Yes, you have to teach me, please!"
"W-well, if you insist that strongly, I suppose I certainly do have to teach you. Think about which one you'd like to learn and come to me when you've got an answer alright?"
"Right!"
James and Mandy: Support Rank D Reached
"What's this?" Mandy asked as he noticed a bottle conspicuously rolling along the street she was walking on. "Is this some prank bottle with an inflatable haunter balloon inside?"
"Gahhh!" The haunter gasped for air as mandy released the cork from the bottle and he flew out.
"Oh, sweet sweet freedom!"
He quickly began to shake Mandy's hand. "You have my undying thanks, um…"
"M-Mandy…" Mandy responded. "My name is Mandy. What's yours?"
"I am James." The haunter nodded. "Once upon a time I was a Jolteon, but that was a past life. Now I am James the haunter, and to be perfectly honest, I have absolutely nowhere to go and have no clue where I am at the moment. Think I could join your mercenary team, or does it already have all 16 members?"
"Well, actually…" Mandy explained. "We're in Ignia, which is no longer an affiliate of the UGM, and that means we follow the Ignia cap of mercenary bands."
"What's the Ignia cap then?" James asked.
"24 is the new cap." Mandy nodded. "I think you'd be member 17 by now, but I can't be sure. We've been getting a lot of applicants today."
"Well then, please point me in the direction of your leader and I'll have them sign me up!"
"I think it might be better if I just take you there myself." Mandy realized. "You don't want to end up stuck in a bottle again."
"No ma'am I don't!" James laughed.
Hex and Bravero: Support Rank D Reached
"Hey Bravero, did you hear about the bouffalant-shit bet that Aaron and Semora made about us?"
"The one about having to spar at the end of the month and everyone putting up 1000 poke? I heard."
"That's dumb. We both know that there's no way you and Aaron have better chemistry than Semora and I do."
"Normally I'd agree, but I'd wager that both Aaron and I have more raw drive than the two of you, and that's going to help us win."
"Dammit, now I just want to fight you sooner." Hex laughed. "I shouldn't have stoked these flames, now I'm all raring to go."
"You've got me anticipating this now too, dammit." Bravero laughed.
Verden and Conlan: Support Rank D Reached
"Conlan?" Verden asked. "Can I talk to you about something?"
"What is it?" Conlan replied as he followed Verden out of his and Rudo's house and into the courtyard.
"Conlan, considering that I helped Gina with taking down general Ardent, and that my Spore is what incapacitated Visha, I really hope that you'll allow me a raise in my salary."
"Hm…." Conlan seemed perplexed. "I mean, I suppose I can't argue with results, but I'm concerned as to why this matter sounds so urgent to you. I don't want to find out the extra money has been spent on drugs or is going to some criminal organization."
"No, the extra money isn't going there." Verden shook his head. "I…"
He looked to make sure that no one else was around.
"I'm hoping to buy a matching pair of decorated destiny knots so that I can give one to Gina tonight."
"A matching pair of-" Conlan soon realized what destiny knots were the equivalent of in this world. "Ohhhhhhhh! Yes, Verden, of course you can have a raise. Also, if you ever need to request time off for *ahem* related events, don't be afraid to do so. I wish you luck tonight and hope to hear good news by tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, very much." Verden bowed before leaving.
Galexialyn and Hex: Support Rank D Reached
"Your scar reminds me of my time as a cult leader." Galexialyn observed as she walked by Hex.
"Your scars remind me of your time as a cult leader. What a coincidence." Hex joked, not knowing who this weavile was, but also not caring at the moment as she had a date to get ready for. "I'll see you around, strange weavile lady."
"Have a good night, Hextra."
Hex and Semora: Support Rank C Reached
"I'll be honest, Sem. I wasn't expecting to see you getting ready to head out tonight. You struck me as the stay at home kind of pokemon."
"I am the stay at home kind of pokemon." Semora replied. "But, I suppose...if you must know, I was asked by Bravero."
"Yeah? That's great! He must really be something to get you out of the house."
"He-...That's not-"
"Aw, don't hide it. You're confident at all other times, just keep that confidence going." Hex shrugged. "That's been my approach so far anyways, and it's working nice and fast with my own quarry."
"I'll...keep that in mind. Do be sure not to interrupt us though, otherwise I'll exercise my right to kill as an assassin. Or, at the very least, really beat you up next time we spar."
Bravero and Magdalene: Support Rank D Reached
"Hey." Bravero tapped Magdalene on the shoulder and then pointed at Wesley. "He's got something of yours."
"What?" Magdalene asked. "What did he take?"
Bravero shrugged. "I dunno, didn't see what it was, but it was small and round, and he didn't have it before passing by you. You might want to go after him."
"I will, thank you so much Bravero, I owe you one."
Wesley and Magdalene: Support Rank D Reached
"Hey you!" Magdalene shouted after Wesley who turned to face her with a smile as he tossed the globe he had pickpocketed off her back to her.
"Don't worry, I wasn't stealing it permanently or anything, just appraising it, and you're in luck, I happen to know exactly what this globe around your neck is. Well, care to find out?"
Magdalene's brow furrowed. "I don't think I'll trust you, but go ahead and tell me anyways."
"Well, I don't feel like telling you the whole story if you don't trust me, but I suppose I'll at least tell you the name and a fun fact about it." Wesley shrugged. "What you've got right there, little lady, is none other than the Space Globe, To put it quite simply, it's literally not of this planet. It's also-Ooooh, wait. I gotta keep my lips sealed. After all, you don't trust me. Not that I really blame you. Still though, I only give out all my info for free if I'm good friends with a client, and I especially won't tell them everything if they say they don't trust me."
"Well, if you want my trust, you have to earn it." Magdalene huffed before walking away. "And if I catch you stealing my stuff again, I'm bringing it up with Conlan and having you dropped!"
"Challenge accepted then." Wesley laughed to himself.
Star Shower Festival
"Come on, come on, it's starting!"
All manner of pokemon, big and small, young and old, all over the world were gathering outdoors to watch the Star Shower, signifying the change in the year, and this time, even a change in Age. Alvar the reshiram had partitioned off the best views for pokemon electing to go as couples and left a general public space open for pokemon going in groups.
While many of Moonbrand went together in their own subgroups,.some pokemon had decided to go as couples, and as comets streaked across the sky and stars began to fly by, the romantic atmosphere became perfectly charged for moments of confession and intimacy.
Star Shower Scene 1: Bravero and Semora(Y Rank Reached)
"It's so beautiful!" Semora said as Bravero rested his arm around her shoulder and she leaned on his. "It's like the sky itself is one giant antique painting, and the gods are creating brushstrokes."
"That is a truly lovely way of looking at it." Bravero said with a smile. "I could sit here watching this with you forever if time allowed it."
"Me too." Semora agreed.
"Hey Semora, guess what." Bravero smiled as he looked down at her face and she looked up into his eyes.
"What?"
"I'm in love with you."
For a split second, Semora had the urge to run away. She wasn't good at opening up to others and even worse at opening up to herself, but she thought back on her conversation with Hex, and, trusting both her own and her friend's judgement, decided to be honest, especially to herself.
"Guess what, Bravero." She smiled. "I love you too."
She leaned up and their lips connected in a tender kiss that lasted for all of a minute before the nearly four months worth of sexual tension in both of them came to a boiling point and the kiss became intensely passionate, tongues fighting and wrapping around each other as both pokemon's hands moved down each other's bodies.
The pair eventually rolled over onto the blanket they had lain out on the ground, and without needing any communication at all, the two became one.
"Mmn...Mmn...Mmn…" Semora moaned as Bravero continued his strong but gentle thrusts all while their kissing continued.
"You're so fucking sexy." Bravero complimented her as he pulled away from the kiss to focus on moving his hips faster.
"Unh...say it again...unh…" Semora ordered as Bravero lifted her leg over his shoulder.
"You're so fucking sexy!" Bravero panted as he repeated himself more forcefully. "Ugh, I love you so fucking much!"
He kissed her foot before lowering it, and repositioning Semora so that he was spooning her.
He leaned in towards her breasts.
"Unh...Oahhh…" Semora moaned as she felt Bravero's lips sucking her. "Come here…" She grabbed his head and pulled him up back towards her face and into another passionate tongue kiss.
"You can let it out wherever you want, okay?" She asked through pants of her own after the saliva swapping had concluded.
"Alright then…" Bravero quickly kissed Semora again, before repositioning her so she was on her back, with himself in between her legs. "Brace yourself!" He warned as he quickly sped up his thrusts, Semora able to feel their increased intensity.
"Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yes, Bravero, yes!" She lost herself in the pleasure.
"Unh...here it...comes…" Bravero warned.
"Come on, do it! Let it all out! I want to feel it!"
"Here it comes!" Bravero's voice tensed up as he let out a few final powerful thrusts. "Unh...Angh….Arngggghhh...ahhh…"
"It's so warm…" Semora smiled as the liquid pooled on the blanket where Bravero had pulled away from.
"That...was fucking amazing." Bravero said as the two cuddled close to each other and continued to kiss in the afterglow.
"I'll say." Semora agreed. "We should go on these dates more often."
"Speaking of more often…" Bravero looked down.
"It's hard again?" Semora's eyes widened, before she lowered her eyelids seductively. "Well, I suppose it would be rude to decline such an invitation…" She giggled as she brought Bravero back into another kiss.
Star Shower Scene 2: Verden and Gina(M Rank Reached)
"Gina, you feeling alright?" Verden asked as he noticed Gina somewhat stewing in anger. "We can go home if you don't want to stay here you know."
"No, it's fine." Gina sighed. "I had one hell of a day after our amazing morning workout." She laughed. "I'm just happy to be here with you."
"Well, I'm glad you think that." Verden smiled as he reached into his bag.
"You aren't looking for that toxic orb again are you?" Gina's eyes narrowed. "I don't mind it normally, but when we're on a fucking date, I better not see that thing, understand?"
"I'm not reaching for my toxic orb." Verden assured her as he pulled out a small opaque case.
"What is that?" Gina asked, remaining suspicious.
Verden knelt down and held out the case in his hands.
"Verden, what are you doing, honey?" Gina laughed nervously, now catching on.
"Gina...I love you so much...more than anything in this whole world, and when I had to restart my life over in Moonbrand, you were there to make sure that my new life was one hell of a lot better than my old one. I don't think my words are enough to even come close to stating just how much you mean to me. I bought these, hoping in my heart that you might feel the same way. Gina, once again, I love you so much...so much that I would have to be the world's biggest fool if I didn't use this opportunity to ask for your um...paw...in marriage…"
"Oh, Verden...you dork." Gina smiled as she gently opened the box and slowly put on her own half of the decorated destiny knot pendant that Verden had purchased. "Of course I will, you nut. No need to *sniff* make such a big *sniff* deal out of it…"
"Well, I remember a certain glaceon telling me long ago that she was never treated like the beauty she truly was, so I felt now would be the best time, because there might be a shower of stars behind me right now, but the pokemon I'm looking at is more beautiful to me than even a miracle of nature."
"*Sniff*…" Gina could no longer fight any tears of joy streaming down her face. "Now look what you've done, you made me cry. *Sniff* Come here!"
Gina stood up on her hind legs, putting her front legs on Verden's shoulders as the two shared a tender kiss.
"I love you too Verden, let's set our lives right together."
Star Shower Scene 3: Aaron and Hex(S Rank Reached)
"Hey, thanks for inviting me up here on your own initiative." Hex nudged Aaron in the shoulder as the two of them watched the star shower. "For some reason, I thought you wouldn't have the guts to do it."
"No, I'm no coward." Aaron shook his head. "Just because I might be nervous about something doesn't mean that I won't go through with my plans, and it certainly doesn't mean I let it show. I prefer to approach everything and everyone with confidence.
"Wooooow…." Hex grinned. "Where's the notebook you wrote that down in?"
"Notebook?" Aaron laughed. "Do I really look like the kind of pokemon to write things down in a notebook?"
"No, you definitely don't. You do look pretty fuckin' hot right now though, especially with the shooting stars in the background."
"I could say the same thing about you." Aaron grinned. "A shiny haxorus womon sitting in front of a clear starry sky during a star shower revealing the cosmos...Man, I can't help it Hex, you gotta be my girlfriend."
"I thought I'd have to suggest it myself for a minute there." Hex laughed. "Alright Aaron, congratulations to both of us, we've got ourselves a significant other. You should know that my last twelve boyfriends are all crazed murder machines and you can clearly tell that I'm joking can't you?"
"If I was up on one of those stars, I'd still be able to tell you were joking it was so obvious." Aaron laughed.
"..."
"..."
"So it appears that I can't think of much else to talk about right now." Hex shrugged. "So, let's just sort of make out for a while instead."
"Sounds great to me." Aaron nodded. "And don't worry about the tusks, my metal can handle them."
"I was about to say the reverse to you." Hex laughed. "My tusks can handle your metal."
"Then truly, we are the match made in the heavens." Aaron joked.
Both pokemon laughed as they leaned in and began to kiss.
Star Shower Scene 4: Conlan and Rudo(M Rank Reached)
"Agh…" Conlan pulled away once again. "Stick your chest out, I'm about to-"
"Let it out all over them…" Rudo giggled as she pushed her breasts out as far as she could.
"Oghh…" Conlan let out a steady stream of white that planted itself on Rudo's chest.
"Hunh…" Rudo said as she felt down between her legs. "It's been inside until now so I hadn't given it much thought but this looks like the same stuff we saw back in the Ember W-"
Her eyes widened. "And I was going to touch that stuff?"
She looked over at an exhausted Conlan. "Thank you so so so so much for making sure I didn't touch that back then!"
"Uh-huh…" Conlan replied, somewhat out of it. "Happy birthday by the way…"
"Eh-heh…" Rudo sheepishly laughed. "I can't help it, I'm sorry. I just, I wanted to make the most out of my coming of age today. The first one was supposed to be tonight, but you had to run into me earlier today too!"
"Rudo, you know I love you, but I can't guarantee my stay here, so I need to ask if there's any sort of contraceptives in-"
"What are 'contraceptives'?" Rudo asked.
"That probably answers my question." Conlan sighed. "I doubt you still wouldn't know about them by now if they existed here. Just know that I'm worried about leaving you alone to look after other pokemon without me around to help you."
"Oh, well…" Rudo began to wipe herself off. "If you're really that worried, we can always just get married. That way you'll always be with me. You know, 'till death do you part' and all that."
"That's a nonchalant way to ask." Conlan laughed. "But considering the day I've had, I guess I no longer really have a reason to say no. I guess I should go buy some destiny knots then."
"Yep." Rudo grinned as she leaned over Conlan and gave him a soft kiss. "For now though, you might want to buckle up, because we aren't stopping until the stars are done falling and the Age of Entei is upon us!"
Conlan would have protested, but the second Rudo placed her hand on his nipple, he felt his member stiffen up again.
The Year Turning Festival Conclusion
And so, Moonbrand, now with 17 Members, celebrated two engagements and two more emergent couples among themselves.
The Age of Entei began once the Star Shower had ended, and during that first day, Moonbrand received three separate letters.
The first letter Moonbrand received was one from Hadria herself, asking for four able-bodied Moonbrand members to meet her in Drudezdag to help Team Soulwind with their upcoming mission, a mission to find an ancient item capable of broadcasting a message to the entirety of The Known World at once.
The second letter was addressed to Conlan specifically, and from the look of sheer enthusiasm on Ornia's face, before he even opened it, Conlan knew it was a letter from King Paulo of Fable. The document was written in a warm and friendly tone, as though the king was speaking to an equal, something Conlan had come to think Fairy Province natives incapable of doing. The letter expressed an urgent desire to meet Conlan at the earliest convenience, along with as much of his team as he could bring with him. While the letter itself was vague in describing the problem Conlan needed to solve, the King made it quite clear that any reward Conlan could think of would be granted to him for his services.
The final letter came later in the day, Inkeri herself had hand delivered it, having traveled from Wildeburn. She explained that the letter was a request from Tashia that five Moonbrand members meet her in Wildeburn Keep to discuss matters concerning the safety of the nation, even asking for a somewhat disappointed Ornia by name.
After Rudo agreed to head the mission to Drudezdag, and Ornia was convinced by Conlan to stay in Ignia as a valued protector while he himself led the mission to Fable, Conlan gave the Moonbrand members free reign to choose which mission they embarked on with the fair warning that these missions would be far longer than what they had experienced thus far. Once the missions were set, the parties all struck out towards their destinations on the 5th of First Month, Year 1, of the Age of Entei.

AN2: TAG! We got a lot of 'em from these double rank ups and get togethers!
TAG!: Verden and Gina: Ice Bomb: A combination of Ice Shard and Seed Bomb, that always goes first, can hit multiple enemy targets, and has a high chance of freezing the opponent.
TAG!: Verden and Gina: Focused Redirect: A combination of Focus Punch and Mirror Coat, if a special attack is used on Verden or Gina, the pair can fight back by redirecting the attack back at the target with twice the energy without taking any damage from the initial attack.
TAG!: Verden and Gina: Sub-Blizzard: A combination of Substitute and Blizzard, Verden creates a Substitute for both himself and Gina, who then creates a large-scale blizzard that the substitutes then spread, the effect being an attack that hits all enemy pokemon, with the power of a Powder Snow, but with a 100% chance to freeze if hit by the attack.
TAG!: Bravero and Semora: Sun Blade: A combination of Sunny Day and Leaf Blade, For as long as Bravero's Sunny Day lasts during this move, Semora's Leaf Blade attacks will deal both Grass and Fire Damage, and count as both a Physical and Special attack. Their critical hit chance is 50%.
TAG!: Bravero and Semora: Poison Team: A combination of Double Team and Poison Jab, Semora creates clones of Bravero, who then all use Poison Jab on a single target, guaranteed to badly poison them upon a hit.
TAG!: Bravero and Semora: Flaming Curb Stomp: A combination of Blast Burn and Low Kick, Bravero's Blast Burn knocks all but pokemon with Flash Fire off-balance, forcing them to the ground, while Semora finishes them off with a Low Kick coup de grace. This attack is a one hit KO for all pokemon affected by both moves, except mission final bosses.
TAG!: Bravero and Semora: Pyroclastic Tephra: A combination of Sky Uppercut and Rock Slide, Semora's Rock Slide is used to coat Bravero in a suit of molten armor, which he then wears while he uses Sky Uppercut on the target. This move hits even flying pokemon, and has a 100% chance to burn the target. It also sharply raises Bravero's defense, and Semora's speed.
TAG!: Aaron and Hex: Rupture Rapture: A combination of Earthquake and Protect, Hex envelopes both herself and Aaron in a protect bubble while Aaron lets out a devastating Earthquake, dealing critical damage to each pokemon hit by it. This move is a one hit KO move for any rock or dark type pokemon that are hit by it.
TAG!: Aaron and Hex: Unleash the Plagues: A combination of Bulldoze and Poison Jab, Aaron's Bulldoze attack is spurred on by Hex's Poison Jab so that in addition to each affected pokemon's speed being lowered, they are poisoned as well. Pokemon underground take double damage, and pokemon underwater are badly poisoned.
