Hello everyone,
I'd like to let you all know about a special event coming up at the end of this month in Cherrygrove City. It's a fundraiser for Johto's and Kanto's first Welcome Center, and we'll be holding it on Saturday, September 28th, from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.. There will be another next month in Kanto. I'll announce that one once we have more things finalized.
We have all sorts of great things planned! There will be food and drinks, a talent show, an egg raffle, and a lot of opportunities to buy and sell eggs as well as adopt new Pokemon for your teams.
[For the next part Katara switches to video, thinking it would be much easier to share the information she's about to give this way than typing it all out. Despite having never really done this type of event before she seems surprisingly collected rather than nervous. She offers a friendly smile and then gets to it.]
The Welcome Center will be providing free services for new arrivals and returning trainers who need help getting settled. It's a non-profit group, so we'll definitely be looking for volunteers. We could use some help getting together supplies and the money we'll need to renovate the boarding houses, too. Some of the other local businesses have already agreed to help out, and the foster home will be adopting out Pokemon at the fundraiser, too. It would be great if we could get homes for them.
[Now, on to the other stuff. She takes a brief pause before going on, gesturing behind her to where there's already a few bins of supplies.]
We'll be holding a food drive and we'd really appreciate it if anyone would like to come by and make donations. Besides canned food we could also use basic supplies and people who have experience with construction work, if anyone is willing to give their time. Just contact me if you have any questions about anything or if you'd like to volunteer.
[Is that everything? She thinks that's everything. Well then- time to wrap this up.] I really hope that you'll be able to come out and show your support. Thank you for your time!
(ooc: The fundraiser and welcome center have both already been mod-approved. OOC sign up's can be found over here!)

I can make some calls. See if anyone in the Corps can get to Cherrygrove by then. [a small pause, then:] But you'll want to keep trying to get people on your own. I can't make any guarantees with them right now.
[video; locked]
Thank you, Lightning. I appreciate it, all the same. I'll try to keep asking around. [If she's honest-] Most of the people I would have asked before aren't here anymore, and I've probably spent too much time focusing on this and not enough time getting to know people.
[video; locked]
We've lost a lot of people lately. It probably wouldn't have made a difference even if you had gotten to know them. [Which is Lightning speak for "you did what you could."] All we can do now is pool our resources and go from there.
Who do you have so far?
[video; locked]
A trainer named Envy who I met last year, and another trainer named Robin. He knows way more about this stuff than I do, so there's that, but... [The numbers are still small and there's only so much that two or three people can do- that's absolutely true.]

I'll try to get down to Cherrygrove by the time you get started. That'll give us more time to get others for the one you've got planned for Kanto.
