Holiday Tidings

Silver Bells are Ringing

With the year coming to an end, we find ourselves in the presence of a very special Holiday. One filled with cheer, sharing and many many colorful lights. The once dark and dreary city even seems to recognize this holiday cheer, decorating the city square, market place and the park with christmas lights and lanterns, giving the city a rare feeling of peace and a warm glow - even conflict seems rare among Aether's streets. And while this feeling of peace won't last forever, the city seems to be treasuring this while it can.

However, the cheer seems to have drawn something strange out of the mountains... and an organization seems to be pulling these things into pokeballs and leaving them on people's doorsteps... their rarity prized and the organization willing them to be kept safe. Each of these gifts are placed into a small basket with a bow on top... a card tucked in with them that reads a simple message, "Please take care of these..."

This is a two part promo. First off, I want EVERYONE to list off their top 5 favorite pokemon and then select a single colored box below. Each box can be selected by more than one member, so if someone chose a color you want already, no problem!

Only one per member guys.

-hugs Ryuu lots- You. Spoil us. Too damn much. > Seriously. Someday I will organize a spoil-the-admin-rotten day and it shall be glorious. Somedaaay. -shot-

Er, anyway. My favorites list tends to shift, but it's typically Pidgey, Vulpix, Growlithe, Gastly, and Cubone in no particular order. As for the boxes, I'm going with the Homra red one. ...I don't have problems. I swear I don't. '>w>

[Kuroya]

*petpet Ryuu* Ryuu spoils us all rotten. :3 *should come up with something else, too damn tired*

Let's see.... my favorites.... So hard to pick. @.@ Typhlosion, Espeon, Blaziken, Ninetails, and Charizard.... I think.... >.> I love so many Fire-types and I'm sleepy. But I think those are right. They're up there anyway. And as for the color... I like the dark blue one that's even vaguely purple. Because purple is awesome. Yes. *decides to end rambly half-asleep post now while she's still vaguely ahead*

Christmas Eve Arrives

[style=width: 300px; background-color: #000000; height: 5px; margin-top: -7px][/style]

As Christmas rolls closer and closer, we find ourselves in it's eve, the final hours ticking by until we find ourselves in a day filled with peace. With a year that has passed that has felt more like only a couple months many things have come and passed... obstacles met and overcome and rough spots rode over. While some say Thanksgiving is the holiday to think of all the things you're thankful for... Christmas is the time to honor those. Turn to the people you're glad to have and give them your gratitude and love... and stick with them for years to come.

With Christmas Eve, there's also another tradition that I've come to know through my own life. One gift will be granted before all the others. I'm going to honor that tradition tonight and give you one half of your gift for here... of course, you have to wait one more day for the other half of that gift... the better half... you may think.


What's this?

Why... it's a special item, of course, called Candy Snowflakes. Some say that it's a special candy crafted from snow fallen from Kyurem. Regardless of it's origin, each one grants 2 levels to a pokemon, and only has 1 use. (basically... it's a rare candy that grants 2 levels instead of 1)

(and to clear confusion, the items within the boxes were randomized when I handed these out)

=
x10 + 2 HM/TM/SERUM/MTM/EGG MOVE of choice*


=
x10 + 1 randomized poke egg of 2 choice of types (50% shiny chance)


=
x10 + 1 randomized pokemon of 2 choices of type


=
x10 + 1 randomized shiny pokemon of 3 choices of type


=
x10 + 2 HM/TM/SERUM/MTM/EGG MOVE of choice*

(* move tutor and egg moves for gijinka only)

[Kuroya]

*steals snowflakes* Ummm.... ice and dark please? :3

[Charmaine Boyle]

HELL YEAH FIFTY PERCENT CHANCE SHINY.
normal or psychic type, please

[Cormac Kinsella]

-hoards snowflakes- Um, I shouldn't, but I would really like to do Egg Moves for both of mine. '>w> Steel Wing for Cecil Martel and Close Combat for this guy here.

I love you Ryuu. :< You still spoil us too much.

[★ Ryuujin !]

Alright guys... it's christmas. I realize some of these sprites are kinda messy... I started getting antsy while doing them and I will fix them up later, kay? They're not easy things to color... I found that out the hard way, lol. As for now... here are new pokemon to WK, Melanistic and albinistic pokemon! ALL eggs, regardless of normal breeding, shiny breeding or with one of these will have a 1% melanistic/albinistic chance when hatching. (they're rarer than shinies, guys) and eggs bred from a melanistic/albinistic parent will have a 25% chance. They can not be found in the wild.
