The lights of Realgam had turned from their usually harsh bright yellow to a softer, more welcoming glow of green and red along the streets. People wearing heavy jackets, Santa hats, and all other kinds of holiday gear lined the streets. They carried shopping bags, stuffed animals, and various other objects normally associated with the season.
In the center of the city is the old Realgam Tower, long strings of Christmas lights lining the outside of its walls, put in place meticulously by psychic type Pokémon from the Gateon and Agate Gyms.
In the tower itself, There were all kinds of sales on holiday merchandise being made at stalls set up by merchants from all over the region, many of them locals. In the arena at the top of the tower, an army of Castform around the perimeter of the battle area rained down snow in the arena, giving an area for children and adults of all ages to participate in snowball fights as the snow kept falling and falling, leaving several inches for the snow-ballers to wade through.

Mickey grinned as the crowd watched him and Mr Mime performing for them at the Christmas Festival. He always enjoyed Realgam at this time of year. He especially enjoyed the looks on the childrens' faces when he'd send a balloon Girafarig floating off over their heads and Mr Mime used his psychic abilities to pop it, sending confetti raining down on their heads.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen," Mickey shouted out to the crowds around his platform in the middle of the city,"Me and my good friend Vesper, the Ponyta, will give you a show you won't get to see until next year!"
At that, he sent out Vesper, the blue and white ponyta bursting from the Poké Ball and whinnying. Then, Mickey directed Vesper to the large block of ice that his Froslass had frozen earlier, and with a single command of Ember, Vesper began to melt the ice meticulously into the shape of a large Christmas tree. The whole process took about half an hour, but by the time the tree was through the audience was applauding Mickey and his Pokémon.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, but Vesper is the one who deserves all the credit," He said, motioning back for Vesper to come stand next to him,"Vesper, come up and take a bow."
Vesper came up to stand next to Mickey and bent down in a kind of horse-bow, and the audience applauded even louder. That brought a big smile to Mickey's face, knowing his and his pokemons' hard work was well appreciated.

Tch... Christmas Festivals... the people that held them always sent her invitations to be attending them. In all honesty, Brandi didn't care about the festivities nor the actual holiday, itself. Why would she? She had been separated from her original region of Hoenn for more than half her life now.
Even though the temperature stayed the same throughout Orre more often than not, there was a pretty significant decrease in the weather with a lot of the ice-Pokémon that seemed to be making their appearance.
"Hnh... weaklings..." Brandi quietly muttered to herself as she pulled the sleeves of her long-sleeved shirt so that they covered her wrists. "Still have to wonder why the region's fire Gym Leader gets invited to this phony winter...."
A small whine came from Brandi's side and the crimson-haired female looked down to the Houndoom that paced along beside her. Salsetzna had her nose high in the air and was smelling something it seemed. As soon as Sally had started padding off in a direction, Brandi scowled and quickly followed suit.
"Sal! Stop it! Get back over here!" Brandi hissed, trying not to cause a ruckus in the area. She continued to follow after the Houndoom, her hands clenched into fists as she grew a little more frustrated with each passing moment. For one, Brandi didn't even want to be here, and now Salsetzna was wandering off.

A small hand eagerly pulled at the larger wrist of an older teen. Padding along beside them was an Espeon and an Umbreon, both with scarves (red-and-white-stripped for Aeon, purple-and-pink-striped for Umbreon) wrapped around their necks. Though the younger brother was enjoying the festivities, the older had to give a complaint every now and then. Neon was dressed for cool weather, where as Nova...well, his upper arms were completely bare, and his hair was shortest at the nape of his neck.
"N-neon, slow down," the older shivered. Whether the weather was real or not, he was getting chills! "Y-you're gonna rip my arm off!" The younger brother laughed heartily; he knew he couldn't do that! Neon was far too weak to be able to yank off securely-fastened machinery.
"Look, Nova!" Neon finally released his brother's wrist in order to point over to a show being thrown by a trainer, whom he quickly noticed as the gym leader from Gateon. Neon and Umbreon went over to watch; the both of them cheered at the display. "Wow...I wonder if Noctowl could ever be that good with Heat Wave."
Nova, unimpressed, simply crossed his arms as he stood a distance away from the crowd. Aeon sat obediently at his side as he settled for looking around. He soon let out an audible growl as he noticed a Houndoom running around.

Noiretta came down from her lofty throne at the end of her arena atop Realgam Tower. She wasn't dressed quite in her usual manner - as well as her usual outfit, she had a black faux-leather trenchcoat on top. Instead of her flip-flops, she was wearing a pair of purple converse sneakers. She had three of her Pokémon out with her - Arbok, Weavile and Absol. She also had a few Poké Balls with her containing some of her other Pokémon - Crawdaunt, Drapion and Stunky. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a Houndoom running about.
"We can't have Pokémon like that just frolicking around. Crawdaunt, come out and use BubbleBeam on that wild Houndoom, Noiretta called out, sending out the rogue crawdad. Lowering his right arm, Crawdaunt stared down the Houndoom and opened the claw. A moment later, Crawdaunt shot a stream of bubbles at the Houndoom.

Growing fed up as she continued to follow after the Houndoom, Brandi started to run after Salsetzna to try and get the hell-hound back at her side. Brandi merely shook her head as she reached the Houndoom and said to her, "Sal, you can't just go off wandering like that. Keep this up, and I'm going to have to get a lea--"
Brandi was immediately cut off as her torso was hit by a strong slew of bubbles in the form of Bubblebeam. The force of the attack pushed Brandi back onto the ground and even made her slide back across the crowded area, causing people to look. Salsetzna quickly dropped the fact that she was in the pursuit of delicious smelling food and quickly ran over to her Trainer's side.
It took a moment, though Brandi pushed herself back up into a sitting position and looked in the direction that the attack came from. Standing back up and dusting herself off, Brandi narrowed her eyes to Norietta and then straightened out her shirt. It was obvious to tell that the Pyrite Gym Leader was mildly miffed by the recent uprising of events.
"You shouldn't go gallivanting into attacking things at will just because you're the region's Champion and are looking for a challenge... Norietta..." as Brandi had said the Champion's name, her voice had a certain drawl to it that made it almost daunting to listen to.
With that, Brandi turned away, shoved her hands into her pockets and continued on with her trusty Houndoom friend there by her side. If there was something that the crimson-haired female found herself to have no tolerance for, it was attack commands that had no reason behind them -- one would think that since this is a Winter Festival, that wild Pokémon would avoid the place, and therefore, any Pokémon being here would be a Trainer's.
Well... whatever... as long as she didn't have to be dealing with it anymore.

Mickey grinned as the people crowded around him watched Vesper creating the large christmas tree out of ice. As he turned to look at the crowd, he saw Noiretta and Brandi having a minor confrontation. It seemed Noiretta had had one of her hasty moments and attacked Brandi's Houndoom, and accidentally hit Brandi herself instead.
What was that Houndoom's name again? Salsana? Saltina? Ah, he could never remember the thing's name. Why Brandi named her Houndoom something so ridiculous, he'd never know, but.....eh, it was her call, not his.
"Vesper, I'll be right back. You just keep on Embering away at that christmas tree," Mickey said, turning and whispering in the colored Ponyta's ear. The Pokémon paused in her ice melting for a moment to nod her acknowledgement and returned to her work as Mickey turned to the crowd and said,"Ladies and Gentlemen, please continue watching Vesper form this christmas tree! I, unfortunately, must go attend to a small bit of business. I will, however, return shortly. Until then, as I said, watch Vesper and my good friend Ambipom!"
As he leapt off the stage, he released his Ambipom into the middle of it, and the normal type immediately started his own routine, which included juggling 6 flaming bowling pins while sitting on a unicycle, as Mickey walked off in the direction of Noiretta and Brandi, the latter of which was turning away from the former as he walked up.
"Evening ladies," Mickey said, a warm smile on his face,"Happy holidays and such. I saw the little accident from the stage. I came to make sure everyone's okay."
As he spoke, he reached up to his ear and seemingly pulled a white handkerchief out of it. He then balled it up, stuck it in his mouth and then spat back out an egg, which he opened up to reveal a pair of white roses.
"And, by okay, I mean everyone's tempers are in check as well. It's the holiday season, my friends. No need to get worked up and angry, right? Now, would either of you care to come assist me with my show? It's quite easy," he continued with a smile as he held out a rose to each of them.

It was obvious that Neon was very childish. He couldn't be blamed, really. The pink-haired brother watched in awe as the two Pokémon performed with fire. That was it, he'd have to apply something like this to a battle! Neon took hold of his Noctowl's Poké Ball before releasing her from it. The bird shivered at first before perching on Neon's shoulder and puffing up her feathers.
"Isn't it amazing, Noctowl?" The bird cooed a reply as she watched the display. It did look like fun...but she'd get in trouble if she used her own fire attack.
Aeon's growling grew slightly louder every bit. Nova soon looked down at his Pokémon before following the direction he was looking.
"A Houndoom? Haven't seen one of them in a while..." A sly grin grew on his lips as he watched the little outburst going on. Now this was interesting.
"Aeon...I think it's time for some fun, don't you?" The Espeon's growling stopped and he looked up, bewildered, at the blue-haired brother. Nova flicked his left wrist to get the Premier Ball to pop out. Dusk, his Mismagius, emerged and the ball was returned. "Dusk, I want to know what's going on. You're free to cause mischief."
Dusk cackled her name as she phased out and reappeared high over the group of trainers and Pokémon. She'd have to anticipate them in order to cause proper mischief.

"You shouldn't go gallivanting into attacking things at will just because you're the region's Champion and are looking for a challenge... Norietta..." Brandi nagged Noiretta.
Noiretta rolled her eyes. "Well if your Houndoom wasn't just wandering around idly, I wouldn't have needed to have Crawdaunt intervene," she protested. Crawdaunt let out a low growl, seeming to agree with his trainer. Noiretta just sighed, a visible breath cloud forming in front of her before quickly disappearing. "Honestly Brandi, I'm more surprised that you, a Gym Leader would let that happen," she declared, turning her nose up at the Pyrite Gym Leader.
"Evening ladies! Happy holidays and such. I saw the little accident from the stage. I came to make sure everyone's okay." another voice chirped in, the person that voice came from then doing some kind of trick that Noiretta didn't really care for. "And, by okay, I mean everyone's tempers are in check as well. It's the holiday season, my friends. No need to get worked up and angry, right? Now, would either of you care to come assist me with my show? It's quite easy."
"My temper's perfectly in check," Noiretta stated, calmly. "Now what kind of..."
Mismaaaaaaaagius... a Ghost Pokémon wailed. Immediately, Noiretta's Crawdaunt fired off another Bubblebeam as the three humans there shuddered and turned to see what the noise was. A moment later, Noiretta saw Crawdant's attack.
"Crawdaunt! Stop! I didn't give an order yet!" Noiretta called out. "If I was going to have you launch an attack, it would have been Dark Pulse," she added, calmer than before. Immediately, Crawdaunt opened his claws and aimed at the Mismagius, building up dark energies. "But I'm not at fear of invoking Brandi's wrath. Return," she sighed, recalling her Pokémon. "So, what kind of show is it?" she asked, turning to the boy.

Oh, yes, the yearly Christmas Festival. The holidays' heart... at Orre's heart. With the years, Griff has gotten used to the region's winter traditions, but he hoped to see something similar to Veilstone's every single year. And that year was not an exception, especially since Dev's, Kin's, Zam's, Luka's and Hyp's powers were requested. Indeed, Sinnoh's festival was way better than Orre. The ice skating was quite fun.
He sighed, wondering what Grand Master Ardos was planning for him. After all, infiltrating the Orre League hadn't been easy, and he was sure that some of his fellow Gym Leaders didn't trust him. "Well, let's see how this turns out." Followed closely by Drago and Dev, the Gym Leader looked around, noticing the croud around the shiny Ponyta and the Ambipom. "Oh well, it seems that Mickey's here as well." That was good and bad at the same time. While he would have some human company, Griff wouldn't be able to work for Cipher at that place.
"You shouldn't go gallivanting into attacking things at will just because you're the region's Champion and are looking for a challenge... Norietta..."
"Well if your Houndoom wasn't just wandering around idly, I wouldn't have needed to have Crawdaunt intervene. Honestly Brandi, I'm more surprised that you, a Gym Leader would let that happen."
Oh great, two other Gym Leaders were there: Brandi and Noirreta. Having nothing else to do, Griff approached both of them, who were accompanied by Mickey, as the Champion's Crawdaunt attacked a random Mismagius. "Evening, fellow Gym Leaders," He began, obviously ignoring the previous attack. Psh, the younglings should keep their Pokémon in check. Leaving your Mismagius to explore alone was a sign of weakness in his book. "I see you two are enjoying the festival, quite lovely I'd say." The Dragonite couldn't kill a slight chuckle, earning him a glare from the shiny Gardevoir.

Dusk found being the target of attacks all great fun! Gracefully floating away in the nick of time to avoid taking a hit, she cackled again. Her attention soon focused on the new face. She looked away from them in time to notice Nova signaling her to return. Phasing out and then back in at her trainer's side, she sighed. He always ruined her fun.
Nova's gaze narrowed at Griff. He recognized that face all too well. Aeon barked up at his trainer, scolding him for ordering Dusk to snoop. Nova just brushed it off as he continued to watch the gathering of leaders as they either came or went from their cluster.
Nova's attention was pulled away from them when his brother came running over and knocking into him. With frail arms around the older's waist, Neon laughed.
"Nova, Nova! Did you see those Pokémon up there? Aren't they amazing? I'm going to teach Noctowl how to use fire attacks like that!"
Nova stared stupidly down at his brother before smirking and ruffling the boy's spiky, pink hair. "Noctowl can only learn one useful Fire-type move, though. Ah-never mind, not even that could stop you."

"If you're talking about the festival being lovely, I can't comment since I've only just got here and barely had a chance to relax since it seems that very few people around here can actually control their Pokémon," Noiretta sighed. She knew that she wasn't the best person to comment due to how her Crawdaunt had been acting, but at least she hadn't let him go frolicking around the festival on his own. She knew how much of a jerk Crawdaunt was towards other Pokémon (and in some cases, even humans), and she wasn't exactly in the mood for a lawsuit.
"Anyway, I think this is a good time for a proper battle. I mean, we could show Orre just why we're who we are, maybe even inspire some of them to challenge us," Noiretta smirked. "Double battle, two Pokémon each, each of us battles twice. How does that sound?"
