Wild Thoughts
Mashramani is here. Fairies from all over Planet Hearts gather on the streets to celebrate when Planet Hearts and the Seven Cretaceous Planets formed into one solar system, and the kingdom was unified. People dress in colorful costumes, dance, and play soca, R&B, and other live music. Students from all schools march to the streets to represent the future, while the elders march as a reminder of who came before us. The food ranges from BBQ to sweets to savory and everything in between. The Pokemon sampled some of the food or celebrated with their trainers. Daah and Blaziken walked down the street and smelled all the yummy foods. "A small nibble of BBQ chicken before the parade won't hurt," she said. She also gave her Pokemon a treat as well. "Blaze," Blaziken said. Daah sees some grayish mist near the parade route. "Good, he might make an entrance." Daah sees the Knights line up and joins them. "Good," Arch Prime Jason said. "Everyone is ready. It is hot for this time of year, and it rained last night so that we might see a rainbow." "It's such a great day!" Ash shouts. "Too early to be this happy," Daah said. "You need to be peppy," Jared said. "Yeah, we need to bring the spirit," Mariam said. "Don't say spirit," Devon said. "Look. I think I the jumbie comes, it will be dealt with," Sajin said. "Yeah, and if Dean Kathin hears us talking about it," Silver said. "It is a holiday! He is not in charge of us," Cressila said. "Okay," Arch Prime Jason said. "Let's move!"
The parade starts, and Neo Queen Daphuine and Neow King Fredrick wear many feathers and gemstones. The Fairy Soldiers wear costumes with trains on the back. Many elders wear silk to symbolize the start of the kingdom. Much of the clothing came from the tread of worms and the leaves from the trees in early times. They wear crowns and are given gifts from the crowd. "Thank you," Lady Rosétte, Rosé's grandmother said. The students march in their respective colors, and Dawn and her Pokemon put on the performance of the year. "So pretty," a boy says as his eyes gaze at the combinations. "Great work," Dawn said. As the parade, Apin sees Kaante's shadow shaking the trees. "Jared, Dexter, Mabel (Moxie), and Utanka," Apin calls from his pin. "I see he by the Breadfruit Tree fields." "We just finished marching; I'll be there," Ulrich said. "I'm coming too," Alexis said as they traveled to the Breadfruit Tree fields, white vines emerged from the ground and struck them. "Vine Tamer," Alexis shouts. The vines are still attacking. "Spirit Flames," Ulrich chants, and the vines stop. "Try again," he said. "Vine Tamer," Alexis chants, and the vines calm down. "Okay, where is she?" Alexis asks. The vines point north. "Thanks," Ulrich said.
When the pair arrives, Moxie and Dexter are battling while trees and two Alohan Exeggutor. "Whispers of Faith," Dexter chants. "Serenity Chains," Moxie chants. "It's not working," Dexter said. "Need backup," Ulrich said. "Yes. Look out," Moxie shouts. One Exeggutor uses Egg Bomb on the group. "Watch out," Ulrich shouts. He takes out his sword and cuts the attack in half. "Where are Apin and Jared?" "Coming. There were some unstable vines near Jared," Dexter said. "I thought we sprinkled cotton flower dust all over the parade route," Moxie said. Alexis thinks. "Unless someone sprinkled some of the fountain water." Meanwhile, Daah sees Apin and Jared fighting vines near the Breadfruit Tree fields. "Bo Healer," Jared chants. "Barph Crash," Apin chants. The vines continue to act wild. Daah's Knight Pin glows. "I can sense him. I can bring him back," she said, but she saw Apin being grabbed by a vine as the others arrived. Jared and Ulrich used their swords as the others chanted spells. "As a Knight, I have to help." Daah takes out her sword and chants, "Bal Stopper," as her Blaziken uses Blaze Kick. The vines slowed down as Alexis took out an incense pot. She added cotton flower dust, lavender, and charcoal to the pot, and Ulrich lit it. The smoke calmed the vined and the Alohan Exeggutor down. Kaante was furious. "So close. Now I am back at school. I felt her. I need her. She needs to be my vessel." "She was close. She could have brought him back," Daah said.
Hours later, it was the Children's Ball. The children came in their best attires, and the food was everywhere. "Odd, slow down," Dawn chuckles. "So many dumplings,' Odd response. Aelita, Jeremy, Yumi, and Ash J are hearing Moxie and Ulirch's tale of the vines. "It was horrible. It is a good thing that Alexis brought an incense pot. "Good thing. But who brought the fountain water?" Aelita asks. "We don't know. The same person who brought the cotton ball?" Moxie wonders. "What does the Queen think?" Jeremy asks. "My mom had the place scanned. A small amount of the fountain water was sprinkled along the main parade route," Ash J said. "It was a student. I know it," Moxie said. Allison, Ash, and Alexis arrive with food. "Cassava balls and mango sour, come and eat," Ash said. Moxie tenses as he sees Ash J teases his sister over a cassava ball. 'Is everything okay?" Ash asks Moxie. "Yeah. I am only worried about Kaante. "Me too. Alexis said that Lady Rosétte thinks we should visit Sangharsh's grave." Daah perks up when she hears this. Brock, Cressila, and Hiroshima noticed her demeanor. "When?" Dawn asks. "After Holi and Daah's party," Ash said. "It makes sense. Spring is a time for new beginnings. A perfect time to visit a grave," Odd said. Sangharsh does not like that. Daah is furious. "Well, I better through a killer party then," she said with a smile. "I hope nothing happens at the Holi party or Daah's party," Allison said. "I don't think so. With all the colorful dust we're throwing around, evil spirits would leave us alone," Yumi said. Daah holds a vile of the school fountain. "I will use this to spice up my party!" Hiroshima sees Dahh and sighs. "The girl needs a break."
A few weeks later, people gather for the festival of colors, a pre-party for Holi. "I can strike then, too," Kaante says as she laughs from the fountain.
