The star festival was one of the rarest events to take place in any region, much less the johto region. This was when A town was set up over night, in less than 6 hours, it was the most magnificant place in the world. The vendors, performers, organizers, and festival coordinators would show up at midnight, and unpack everything into the clearing they came to every year.
They would line up their 'streets' in a star pattern, five roads that were narrow at the end, and widened towards the center, and set up shop. The vendors were quick, as they often set up straight out of cars that they brought with them. Other vendors, however, set up their own tents, and put out their hand-made treats, that they only sold at the star festival. Some of the mores famous vendors, however, had enough money to set up their own stores. It took htem about 5 hours, but it was worth it in the end.
The vendors lined the streets, selling their extravagant foods, trinkets, and other luxuries. They were filled with things to make you stare in awe, and transifix you for hours on end. Trainers and civillians would gather for this festival, some to purcahse these treats, others to marvel at the mystifying performances.
The performers lined their stages up at the ending sections of each street. And the stages changed depending on the actors, pokemon, and performances. Some could even st up large tents, like big tops, in their large lots. While the performance were extravagent, and the vendors goods exquisite, they didn't even bring half of the attendants.
In the senter of the star, was a huge stage in the shape of a star, surrounded by gorgeous structures and besutiful fountains, which remained there all year. The stage was actually a huge tounrament platform, for the 'Tournament of the Grande Stars' was held there. Every year, 1,024 contestants joined, and a ten round tournament was held, and the champion walkd away with the Grand Star Pokeball, which was said to be the legendary ball that ontained the powers of the night sky, and the strength of the stars. The ball was kept by the trainer, and a solid, Silver bust was made for every contestant, the victor appearing every 20 years. The winning trainer the previous year wa ssupposed to appear on stage and present that year's trianer with the grand star ball, and return the silver to he Official festival orgainzer, who used his pokemon to melt the Silver, and reshape it into the likeness of the trainer that year on stage.
And over 10,000 people showed up from all 4 regions to watch, shop, and battle. This was 'The Festival of the Stars'!

Kalseng wandered down the just now put up streets at 6:07 A.M. to see what the festival was like. Not all of the vendors were completely ready, but others were calling to the handful of early risers to come buy their goods. Kalseng put away 500,000 pokedollars for the Star festival, regardless of how cheap everything was. He wanted some decent leeway on his money. This was his first time to come to the festival of Stars. It only occured every twenty years, and the year was 2020, which meant Kalseng was born about six years too late.
Kalseng wandered up to a food vendor, and ordered the breakfast meal they had. He received a plate of eggs, each in the shape of a star, 5 strips of bacon, arranged in a star, of course, and some sweet potato has browns, in the shape of, you guessed it, a star. He took a bite, and found everything to be better than anything he had ever eaten, and walked away with a full styrofoam plate. He passed a vendor who was asleep, his face burried in his star-shaped trinkets, and several other food vendors. He approached the end of the street, and saw a novice performer practicing with his manectric.
The stage was not very large, maybe the size of a medium-sized bedroom, made of wood. It looked like it had been built within 2 hours.
The performer was a boy, about 15, juggling balls about the size of an apple. Half his outfit was blue, and the other was red. His eyes were both green, and vibrant with youthful energy. The juggler continued rythmically juggling the balls. But then, his manectric fired small thundershocks at the balls, which glowed on contact. The juggler ontinued, and Kalseng's blue eyes lit up. He had never seen such unwavering devotion. Then, he threw them all into the air, and his manectric hit half of them with a yellow thundershock , and the other half with a blue thundershock, and the pushed and pulled at each other, until they were pushing and pulling so hard, that they formed a rapid, glowing star. Then the performer pulled out more balls, and threw them up.
The manectric charged the balls like he did the others, and the formed 4 other stars of pulsating energy. They then fell into the performers hands, and he rapidly juggled the watermelon-sized collections of energy. Kalsenf's brown hair stood on end uunder green, circular hat. The juggling continued, and then the manectic did something unexpected. He charged his masterwith a thundershock. One half of the performer was hit, then the other. The performer didn't flinch when he was struck, and then the balls stopped, and pushed and pulled around the performer. Then, a star formed around the performer, and he became a glowing rainbow of color. The performer reached out his hand, and snapped his fingers.
The balls fell appart and dropped, uncharged and still. Kalseng applauded loudly for the performer, whom was ppleasently surprised with Kalseng.
"Thank you, sir." the performer said as he bowed. Kalseng continued applauding.
"My name's Kalseng, what's yours?" Kalseng asked.
"My name is Arick!" The performer proudly stated. "And this is my manectric." He gestured to the calm Manectric on the other end of the stage.
"Ah, yes. I hope I can see you again some time. How long will you be here?" Kalseng asked.
"Probably till the tournament's over. I might compete, if my performances are done by saturday." Arrick said, stroking his chin in thought.
"Really? Me too." Kalseng said, smiling.
"Oh, really? Well, then you should swing by again later!" Arrick said, his face brightening.
"Alright, will do!" Kalseng said as he walked away, waving at the young performer.
[[OOC: If someone wants to take Arrick, that'd be cool with me. Just don't make him an international thief. He's pretty...enthusiastic about... everything.]]
