ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

[Asgore may be tall, but that joke just sailed right the fuck over his head.

He is aware that the Internet is not a human child though, so. Does he maybe work for the Internet?]

Oh, howdy! My name is Asgore.

Can the "search engines" help find this little one's family? I think he is much too young to be wandering on his own.

[callbacks]

[People actually say howdy in real life?!]

From what I've seen, Pokémon don't actually care too much about sticking with their nuclear families and are actually way more invested in buddying up with a good trainer. So did you actually find that wandering around? 'Cause I think it might be yours.

[journalname]

[Right before they try to murder you, usually]

Mine? But we have only just met... [Asgore turns a worried look down at the Sunkern, who is...sort of bouncing. How do Sunkern move I don't know] Also, I am not quite sure where we are.

[callbacks]

Small town, real quiet like, Mom kick you out of the house?

[journalname]

The...human woman? Yes.

[He's obviously a bit taken aback by all that, but he hadn't had the heart to press the issue with her. She seemed very confused, and taking the bag to go on his "journey" made her happy.]

[callbacks]

Yeah, that's New Bark Town. So probably your--what even is that, a flower egg?

[journalname]

They appear to be a seed! Though, they do not resemble any I am familiar with.

[He doesn't seem surprised by this, given the whirlwind of bizarreness that's happening right now]

[callbacks]

Okay, your flower seed thing, probably is your starter Pokémon. You're supposed to raise it and train it so it can grow up big and strong and help you catch other ones, et cetera. Huh, I guess it's probably weirder for you if you're too old for video games.

[journalname]

[...well you know he can't really dispute that]

Pokemon? Not monsters? [Monsters can look like basically anything, so he'd just assumed] I...suppose I would be happy to raise this one, if its family cannot be found. But why would I want to catch others?
