☔ April Event ☔

As the rain pours down on the Isles, you take this opportunity to explore! There could be something interesting happening, and no rain will stop you!

You go from shade-to-shade avoiding getting drenched from the rain, sitting under one of trees is a soaked, sad vulpix.

"Trying to avoid the rain too?"
"At least it can be pretty nice to listen to the rain fall.. Oh but I don't recommend staying out here to long-" They interrupt themselves with a loud sneeze.

 Prompts ✏️

Complete prompts to earn rewards!

🌧️ April Showers  As winter fades away, spring comes into full bloom, but with spring comes plenty of rain! During this rainy season, what does your vulpix do? Do they play outside in the rain? Or are they seeking shelter away from the storms? Or perhaps your vulpix is already indoors, spending their time enjoying the season inside? Depict your vulpix and their April activities!	🌈Rainbows! After many rainy days, there’s a small glimpse is sunshine! For now the storms have passed and the sun is out! And with the warm sunshine comes rainbows! After all the rain, the isles’ skies are filled with rainbows! And with the rainbows comes unique pokemon! Just like vulpix, the pokemon found on the isles look different from their original counterpart! Perhaps your vulpix runs into some rainbowfied pokemon? Depict  how your vulpix spends the rainy season and any encounters in brings! Does your vulpix immediately goes out once the rain stops? Or what unique pokemon do they run into during the rainy season?	🐛Bug Catching Contest With all the rain, all the bug Pokémon come out! The community has set up a bug catching contest, and anyone can participate! Like vulpix, the Pokémon found on the isles is affected by the environment, meaning many of the Pokémon look very different from their original counterparts!    Depict your vulpix catching bug Pokémon! Does your vulpix struggle? Or are they a master at bug catching? Or do they prefer to not get dirty and just watch?

💎 Currency Exchange 💎

The currency used for this event are (Raindrops)!

🌸 Spring Event 🌸

News of a Spring Festival has been circling around and you're quite excited! There's going to be this huge Cherri Tree- and supposedly be in full bloom!

 However, after arriving at town square, it seems the festival hasn't even started? How strange, you're sure you made it on time?

After looking around a bit, you see a rare unicorn vulpix! They tend to be quite rare and this one is a very pretty pink color! At a closer look, they seems to be quite distressed, as they pace back in forth in front of a wilted Cherri Tree.

"Oh thank goodness! Help has arrived!" They rush up to you, eyes full of relief.

"You're here to help- right? There's so much to fix and so little time!" 

They usher you off towards the side, in front of a box filled with supplies to help restore the Cheri Tree and even some Festival Decorations.

 Since you're already here, why not help out?

 Prompts ✏️

Complete prompts to earn rewards!

	🌸 Spring Festival With the new season comes a.... festival? But what's this? The festival isn't ready! It seems there's been a few mishaps, causing the Spring Festival to be delayed! And even worse- The special Cherri Tree is in rough shape! Help Yvonne care for the Cherri tree and restore the spring event!
🧹 A Helping Hand Spring Festival can't start if the surrounding area isn't cleaned!  Depict your Vulpix cleaning any rubbish on the ground or removing branches, roots or leaves that could bother the preparation of the festival!	🌳 Tree Rescue! The Cherri tree is in bad shape- lets give it some urgent care! Depict your vulpix bringing fresh water bucket, fertilizer or anything they think could help the tree to get better!	❗ Surprise Encounter?  Your vulpix heard a worrying call from behind a bush and decides to go investigate! Are they eager to help the injured pokemon? Maybe the pokemon won't be nice to them. Depict how they handle the situation!
🍃 An Important Lesson  Not everyone knows a lot about nature. Is your vulpix learning new things at the festival? Or maybe they're teaching essential stuff to other vulpix? Depict them with another vulpix talking about nature.	🌱 Green Thumb Does your vulpix have a green thumb? Depict them taking care of a plant and the result of it - is it still doing well?	🎶 Spirit of Spring Spring is all about renewal, rebirth and growth. Is you vulpix seeing these elements around them? Depict your vulpix with a symbol of spring (growing plants, newborn vulpix or pokemon etc).
🖊️ Spring Poem Is your vulpix inspired by the blooming nature around them? Write a poem about spring, nature, that your vulpix could have written.	🛍️ Decorating! The Spring Festival needs some decoration! Depict your vulpix decorating the area where the festival takes place, or the cherry tree itself.	🌸 Spring Festival Finally, after all your hard work the festival is now ready! And even the cherry tree is in full bloom! Depict your vulpix enjoying the festival!

You reach a large field overflowing with wild flowers, leaving a soft flowery scent in the air. Standing in the field is a small white and gray vulpix busy tidying the field. They notice you and give you a small smile.

“Are you interested in tending a garden? Well you came to the right place!”

---

You can tend to a garden and harvest berries! Each person only has 3 garden plots so you can only plant 3 things at a time.
