A small smile crossed the young entertainers face, as she gazed up at the starry sky, watching the fireworks explode in a dazzling display of reds, blues, greens and golds. From a top her in Passion Skies Park she had a great view, even if she had to share it with a lot of locals. In all fairness though, she'd only heard about this place, from some of the street performers she'd met earlier in the day, during the summer festival. "Isn't it pretty guys?"Gene asked, glancing to the pokemon that sat on the grass around her. "One day we'll become pokemon champions, and people will celebrate and have fireworks in our honor!"

Heat, sweltering heat. Not something Abi enjoyed. She tugged at the neck of her shirt, trying to create some room for the static air to maybe fall into. She was here purely to give her pokemon some entertainment they'd never seen before. It had been Ori's idea to treat everyone, ideas like this usually were Ori's. The ponyta stood beside her watching the skies with all of his pokemon friends, waiting. With a sudden whheeeee and pfft the first fireworks began shooting off in all directions. The glow of joy on each of her pokemon's faces was definitely worth it.
100 Words, claiming the Horsea for Abi! Woo! Thank you guys XD

The beautiful fireworks in the sky, in Japan they call them "Hanabi". Which means 'flowers in the sky', that's how much of an impact they make as they scatter in all forms and colours in the summer night sky. Wearing his festival kimono, Cress glanced dreamily up at the fireworks as his mind wandered. His Gastly was swirling about all the stands, observing all the foods and activities they had. Teddiursa was sitting on the grassy hill by Cress' feet, as the tall boy sat down supporting himself by leaning back on his hands. "Teddiursa, can you see all those fireworks?" He said calmly, the little bear cub shifting its attention to Cress, with a paw over her mouth. "That's how beautiful the world is, and I want to show you all of it." He finished, expressing a friendly smile on his face as he met Teddiursa's gaze with his own. Pausing a bit, the little bear carefully tugged her paw at Cress' kimono, holding on to him.

Raff didn't like the heat. He couldn't spend time with his ice-types without them getting uncomfortable. The only company he had right now was Raijin the Manectric. He and the electric type were laying in an open field, far from the crowds watching the show. They were just close enough to see and enjoy the explosions of colors, but avoiding the crowds. Raijin was curled up on the ground and Raff was leaning against his large fluffy puppy. They were both silent as they watched the fireworks exploding above. Raijin was contemplative... Raff looked uncomfortable in this heat. He grumbled and wiped the sweat off of his brow with his forearm. Heat sucked. Even at night it was hot.
( STARFISH! )

"Gahhh!" Stacey clapped her hands over her ears sas bursting bits of paper and fire exploded into the night sky, only to shower hot, burning pieces of colors and awkward sounds. At least, to Stacey, they were like nails on a chalkboard. How could anyone enjoy this? Stacey hated fireworks but, she was dragged along with her friends for fun- even if it meant that she had to suffer. As another exploded, she closed her eyes and curled up near a tree, sheltering herself on a blanket, like everyone else, before the celebration before them- Happy Forth of July.

Boom.
What was Dynaon supposed to be doing? Such an event was relaxing to him, who had to deal with the stresses of social and personal life. He and his partner, Celestia, were sitting on a flat field of grass, listening to the wind blow across the horizon.
Boom.
Celestia let out a deep sigh. How long had it been since they started this journey? She couldn't remember, they were having laughs and scares all around so far, but what of Dynaon? Was he enjoying the time they were spending together? Maybe one day... They would both know the true bond they held.
Boom.
[All dat rough skin... SO TENDER... Alright, I'm gonna take Yaban [Carvanha] and the two Rare Candies. Please and thank you.]

i'd totally wait til renae got his ribbon in like two posts' time but i want those candies orz
watching the fireworks boom dully in the background over the water was heavenly for renae. he never liked to get too close to them, because the loud noises interfered with his delicate constitution, but nevertheless the beauty of the situation really got to him. not taking his eyes off the skies, he fumbled a hand around to find the sandwiches he had brought with him, breaking off chunks for his six pokémon who sat around him in awe as well. other people surrounded him too, and renae took solace in the comfort of strangers. fireworks truly were a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
snaggin' that carvanha and the candies. love you guys thankyou!

The lake was an amazing place to be on a hot summer day. Vallen, Astaire and Layla where enjoying them selves. The trio had spent the day with Vallen playing in the lake while Larvitar, who was NOT a fan of swimming, ate rocks along the shore line. Vallen thought it looked like eating cereal with his hands, only rocks. Layla spent the day flying around, doing as she pleased, using gust attacks to play with Vallen in the lake.
As the day dwindled into twilight the trio took a spot along the shore, watching some men set up a contraption across the lake. It was starting to get dark and Vallen was going to turn in for the evening, grab a hot shower and go about his day when a loud BOOM shattered the silence of night and light up the night sky with a brillient Green color. Astaire didn't seem fazed by the sounds but Layla was shivering with fear until Vallen put his arm around her to let her know she was safe.
The night sky continued to explode with color and sound. Some of them made shaped while others just crackled into nothingness. The 3 sat on the shore line and watched in awe only Astaire did more than just stare, and that was only to put a few rocks in him mouth at a time. The colors left vivis patters that seemed burned into the memories of the trio.
[Sry if it's too long, Id like to claim Mr Fishy and the RC's as well please]
EDIT: It's ok this one time, but next time please follow the instructions. <3 It's supposed to be a challenge by writing less.

The sun had finally set, leaving only the twinkling stars in the night sky. It was a beautiful night, warmth from the hot day still lingered in the air and the sky was clear and vivid- perfect for firework viewing. Blithe had her Mareep nestled into her lap and her Frillish floating beside her. Most of the people planning on watching the fireworks had gone to the dock to watch, only a few had thought of the hill nearby as Blithe had. "Don't fall asleep Bud" Blithe said as she patted her sleepy Pokemon's head. And sure enough, the rainbow rockets began to fill the sky.
Taking the fishie with the candies~ Thank you!

Fireworks? They were stupid. Just another pathetic part of humanity which acted as an attempt to bring people together. It annoyed Nathaniel to no end, what was the point in standing around to watch the fleeting spark of a chemical reaction ignite in the atmosphere, only to burn out as quickly as that of human existence. Yet as he looked around, Larxcen, his Shinx sat by his side in the passion skies park, he found himself reluctantly drawn to the charm of the thing. The people gathered in mass crowds, smiling and laughing. In that very moment, Nate smiled too.

Hot. Wind was blowing. Boom boom went the flashing lights. He hated the heat.
Red. Blue. Yellow. White. Many colors filled that night. He had some water.
Mosquitoes biting. The bites were very itchy. He needed bug spray.
Sparklers were so fun. Sparklers twinkling in the night. He needed a match.
Bottle rocket flies. Exploding high in the air. Whistles up, explodes.
Eat a hamburger. They may not be good for you. But they taste yummy.
I fart and it stinks. I light fireworks with my butt. Methane can be fun.
Haikus can be dumb. You read them and I write more. This is my last one.

The bright flashing lights were masked by the waving heat that stretched across Cheyenne, encouraging trainers to flee indoors to escape the volcanic hell that waited for them outside. Yet as Skye gazed onwards at the differing colorations that presented themselves in the sky she couldn't help but sigh out in slight content. Simple pleasures especially when all you had to do was lay down and stare at completely nothing at all. The heat was rather barable one you simply focused on the fire-works instead, so perhaps tonight would be fine after all, maybe later it would even cool down.

The hot sunny day that seemed to have gone by fast through the festival. It was almost time for the main event and main attraction of the night. It was the most anticipated, Fireworks. The fireworks set off, leaving huge bangs and beautiful flares in the air. Meruka, along with his Pokemon smiled in joy as the Fireworks continued to go off. The night sky made them way more effective, leaving the colours to stand out more. The Fireworks were soon finished, and scraps of cardboard casing glided down from the sky. This was defiantly a night to please all Pokemon and Trainers a like.

T[/size[he day hadn’t been to fun for the young girl. She was only five years old and already this was her third surgery she had to bare the pain of having. Laying there in her hospital bed, she was alone. Her parents where at work, her brother with her grandmamma, and her only friends there was the three nurses that where on shift. In her white hospital grown she cried silently from the pain of her hip surgery, it had been another attempt to help her walk on her own, in the end it was a failure. A loud boom shook the window of her room and she screamed. She didn’t know what it was, but her scream made Connie, the head nurse come running into her room. The older lady calmed her down and moved to the window. ‘It is alright, it is just the fireworks.’ The red haired nurse said as she opened the window so that Hannah could see them. ”Whoa.” Hannah said, which was enough to made Connie happy enough that Hannah wasn’t scared so she left. She didn’t like the loud booms, but the pretty colors amazed the young girl. With the lights getting turned off in her room she watched them. Curled up in her blankets from her bed, she sat up for another hour and watched them. For a moment she forget about her pain as her world was lit up in color. That was a happy moment for her, after they ended she was sad though.

It was an eventful night in Passion Skies Park. Many people were sprawled all over the grassy fields on top of blankets and towels as they talked amongst themselves about life and fireworks. Tristan was among the people who chose not to bring a towel and decided to stand on the pavement path, eating an ice cream cone that he bought from the local vendor. He looked around, sighing as he saw so many people in groups who were ready for the fireworks. He did not seem to mind being there alone, as he was there to see what was happening. He stood there, looking around as the lights of the park went out. Before long, fireworks started to appear one at a time up in the sky. Tristan looked up, gazing upon the fireworks with interest, smiling as he enjoyed his own solitude. Close enough. Yay staryu and two tm's

The July night was humid, the sky darkened quickly as the sun went down. The park was getting full with people all waiting for the fireworks to appear. Zane had fallen asleep underneath a tree in the park. Hearing all the people talking stirred the young man. He opened his eyes and shielded his eyes from the light in the sky. He wondered how long he fell asleep. Then, suddenly, the sky exploded in light. Looking up, Zane couldn't help but taken in the beauty of the fireworks. They exploded in the sky, loudly and proud. It was pretty awesome.
Gimme that Horsea plox.

h a l e x i aThe grass was prickly beneath her back even through her loose shirt, and she breathed in the warm night air. It was surreal, knowing that the next day she would leave on a journey unlike any other. She wasn't afraid, not in the least. Just excited, despite knowing she'd be away from her family for a very long time. Movement to her right made her turn her eyes, reaching one hand out from under her head to pet the creature curled at her side. The Meowth rolled contentedly on the grass, nuzzling her face into Hal's side. As the first firework lit into the sky, a smile spread on the girl's mouth. Laying on her front lawn, she said, "Tomorrow it all changes."

Kikou
The bright lights flashed across the sky, lighting up the darkness with a mark of color against the stars. They showed the world didn't have only bad and evil in the world, but things that brought color and light into your life. The festival was, literally, ending with a bang, and the fireworks show was one of her favorite events of the whole thing. The mountains of Johto were always quiet until the Summer Festival. The next year she wouldn't be in Johto, so she felt sadness to say good-bye to her old home. But with Pippy, she was sure to have fun in her new home. The little Hoppip was napping on her head, and it didn't seem to like the fireworks as much as Kikou. The little thing was just staring in awe, as if it couldn't believe fire could be in the sky, instead of enjoying the lights and color. Pulling the Hoppip from off her head, she said to it, "You silly thing, they're only little sparks of color." Putting Hoppip down next to her side, she lay back onto the hillside she was on, she stared up at the sky, enjoying the warm summer night.
I'll be taking Fishy and the candies. :D
