Get your "Celebelieve" signs out, trainers, because it's about to get legendary.
The massive heat-wave and subsequent thunderstorm at the end of July was apparently only a prelude-- as August progresses, it's become increasingly obvious that Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are on the loose, galloping all over kingdom come and bringing outrageous weather conditions with them, seemingly not even caring whether or not they're seen!
You don't have to be a Legend Seeker to know that this is wildly unusual for Legendary Pokemon. So yeesh, what's the deal? And how do we get them to stop?
That'll be up to the trainers to discover over the course of our August Event: The Dog Days of Summer!


August 7th: After increasingly bizarre fluctuations in weather, a newscast sheds some light on what's been going on: footage of the three Legendary Beasts themselves directly causing the chaos, seemingly at odds with each other. Not necessarily openly tussling, but definitely getting territorial. After the seventh, both the severity of the weather and the number of sightings increase. Maybe your character will even have a run-in with one of the Beasts themselves! August 17th-23rd: Another newscast (along with a log) goes out with a development on the story-- Entei and Raikou have seemingly had enough of each other's shenanigans, and are now on two separate peaks towards the top of Mt. Mortar, roaring at each other loudly enough to be heard all across northern Johto!! Meanwhile Suicune, the scamp, is taking advantage of its siblings' argument and making absolutely everything everywhere else disgustingly moist. M O I S T.
Fortunately, new information is on the rise as well. It seems that both the Bell Tower monks and the Legend Seekers have made some discoveries they want to share... At this time, characters may choose to team up with one of three different groups tackling the problem, with a simple participation requirement. Signups will be open until the 24th!August 23rd: Scrolls and caverns and fires, oh my! The secret to summoning Ho-Oh is discovered at the Bell Tower, Lugia's hiding place is stumbled across, and an immense forest fire has broken out at Mt. Mortar! August 25th-30th: At long last, Ho-Oh and Lugia appear to hear everyone's Concerns. August 31st: ???? WILL OUR HEROES HAVE PREVAILED? OR IS EVERYONE DOOMED TO GO TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT LISTENING TO TWO LEGENDARIES YELL AT EACH OTHER FROM ACROSS A MOUNTAIN RANGE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE?? CHECK OUT THE FINAL NEWS BROADCAST AND CONCLUDING POST TO FIND OUT!
