[indent]Emerald C. Rowan grabbed the collar of his jacket, pulling at it to straighten out the piece of clothing. 

[color=seagreen]“Another year, another festival.”[/color] He chuckled as he made sure every inch of the open clearing had been ready for what the Mayor of Viridian City and the Center for Pokémon Activities had in store for this year’s version of the festival. 

He had heard some gossip from some of the other volunteer rangers that the idea for this year went beyond the moss stone’s first glow under the full moon and the first flight of the Butterfree that had been dwelling inside their shells. The Viridian Forest was their Safari Zone, a place that not only paved the way to Pewter City, but also represented the best of times in a Pokémon trainer’s life. Emerald was just glad he could take the time off his personal adventures to volunteer his help. How long would it be until everyone from Pallet Town, the Orange Islands, Cinnabar Island, Fiorello City, and everywhere else would come to Viridian Forest to participate in a night of games, adventure, and wonder? 

The others told him the festival would have its opening tomorrow, but he still couldn’t believe it, but that was the benefit of being excited. As he took a light break from his duties he pushed the rake down into the ground with a wide, optimistic smile as he looked into the distance.
