[agathokakologic]

"Hmm? Oh, thanks. But you'd better not get used to it, because I'm not going to dress up like this often." Valor stared at the gift she'd given Akino and quickly pulled it back. "Oh, err, sorry, wrong gift. I was supposed to give that to Sky as a prank. Here's the actual gift." She handed Akino a rather large present wrapped navy blue paper and tied with a white bow (There's a crossbow inside). "I noticed that you liked archery during the Sunset Moon Festival, so I got you a little something." She paused to pop another chocolate-colored strawberry in her beak before gladly taking Akino's and Geno's gifts, thanking them. "And, they look fine on your pants, Geno. You're supposed to fight with them, but okay." She took the gifts and set them aside, looking around as she opened Geno's first. "Sky and Skyrin aren't here?" She asked, tearing it open to reveal a light blue square. "Oh, woah!" She turned the plate around, looking up at Geno. "Thanks- a Sky Plate? Nice!" She turned to Akino's and tore it open next to find a large bottle of metal polish and a long, leather whip. "Uhhh. Thanks, Akino, for the... err... polish and the whip."

Geno smirk then turned into a grin and laughter came from his mouth. "I had a feeling that present could be for Sky," he then looked over to the table filled with sweets. Crystal snacking away with a piece of strawberry shortcake. Hmmm... surprisingly he could imagine the pink Sylveon over there, devouring each and every morsel of sugary substance in just a few short minutes. "Who knows when they'll be here. Besides, I bet Skyrin is preparing himself for something," he glanced at Valor with a smile before a thought came into his mind. Where's Viviane? She should have been here by now. He let out a sigh, frowning a bit and shoved his hands into his pockets, scanning the area for the Delphox. He went over to the punch glass and poured himself a glass of Pecha and Bulk Berry juice, sipping the fruit punch.

"I know the combination seems weird but the polish is of the highest quality, it absolutely makes your weopans shine so brightly,it could be used to blind your opponet if light catches it." He seemed to go back to his usual self as he spoke about things that interested him. "And the whip, that is the weapon once used by Harumi the Aerodactyl who was the Head Knight decades ago in Mothandria, she is only of the first females who managed to make huge changes to the system that improved it greatly for the knights." He looked over the whip "I must admitt she was kinda...mildly sadistic,but a great fighter, i thought you would enjoy a weapon with some history behind it- and who knows, maybe you could learn how to use it" his tail wagged lightly looking over the thick bound Taurus leather before opening Geno's present and smiling at the Zap plate, but before he could turn to thank the Greninja, he was by the punch bowl...probably looking for Viviane. He placed it back in the box before opening Valor's present, looking in surprise at the crossbow. The wood looked like mahogony and the slender built made it easy to hold. "Wow- thanks Valor! " he said and clicked a bolt in before examining it more. His ears perked as he heard girls scream "WHY ARE YOU OPENING HERS FIRST WE GAVE YOU OURS FIRST" a group screamed. Something in the air caught his eye and he looked up to see a large long box tumble through the air as a girl threw it at Valor. He turned the crossbow to the air and fired it at the box, the manectric not ready for the powerful recoil as it sent him reeling back slightly, the bolt piercing into the box and pinning it against the ceiling. The girls gasped and fell silent before squealing in delight. Akino's eye twitched and he loaded anothe bolt before facing it at the girls who yelped and scattered "None of you are acting like a woman I would like to get to know- get out of my sight!" He snarled and fired the shot at the ceiling, mostly to scare off the few stragglers. He cleared his throat and faced Valor "You think they will leave me alone if I act like a complete jerk?" He asked, glazing over the face he threatened his fan base

urned out Christmas was the best time of the year to one specfic sylveon. Time for gifts, and family, and friends, foods. Bright beautiful Christmas tree decorated with the many different decprations. Apparently, from what she thought, she believed that Morthandria, the cold kingdom, wouldn't be celebrating parties like this. Yet she was wrong by a milestone. When the pink sylveon had roamed into the party, she expected some sort of quiet chatting, a dull christmas tree with no life. Yet, turned out Morthandria knew how to make it dazzle too. From the bright lights and decorations on the tree and the music that buzzed in the air, and the shouts of excitement. Out of it all. What seemed to interest Sky the most? That beautiful chocolate fountain that lay there, surrounded by many sweet dishes and treats that could be dipped. The sylveon's mouth watered, drool passing by and almost falling to the floor, but it was wiped from her mouth from a ribbon. A blue one to be specfic. Apparently, Skyrin had came along, not wanting to miss a chance to meet up with his friend's again at such a big party, and of course. His big beautiful birdie that he loved so much. Skyrin stared at Sky, a frown currently lying upon his face.
"Sky. If you wanna drool, atleast wipe it off instead of letting it fall to the floor." Skyrin mumbled. Beside the shiny sylveon, was two bags of gifts, colored pink and blue, obviously marking that their bags were seperate. Skyrin, who of course. Was a king of Turquoina, had to atleast dress in something formal, was wearing a small, but still neat dark blue cape, and a neat small sky blue tux. Pants not included- his fur was neatly groomed and slicked down, though he'd rather have his fur abit more fluffed out. Ontop of his head, was a pair of pilot goggles, something Sky had given him as a small gift for the moment, as she thought he would need them for maybe future rides through the sky with Valor? Either way, Sky, who was wearing a short chocolate brown dress, with short puffy sleeves and white fluff lining the bottom and sleeves, along with her turquoise crown, and white gloves. Nodded to Skyrin, then bolted off to the Dessert table, immediately heading to pile up her plate with different treats, then dip it into the chocolate fountain.
Skyrin sighed, hanging his head from his sister's sudden drop out on him. Leaving him to carry the bags to the Christmas tree. He wrapped his ribbons around each bag, and went on through the crowd of pokemon, carrying the bags. Waving a paw to the few who seemed to be friendly and call out his name. Before long, he approached the tree. up Who was already present from what he could see, Geno, who left to the table to get a drink, Valor, and Akino of course. He stepped up, sighing in relief, and dropping the bags he held next to him, flopping down to catch his breath. He didn't like carrying Sky's stuff, even though her bag was sorta light. His own being abit more heavier.
"H-hey guys... Merry Christmas...." once he took a few moments to catch his breath, he nodded his head to each one of them till' his gaze landed on Valor, and immediately, his breath was taken away from him again. This wasn't the Valor he remembered, instead. She had dressed herself up in such a different and more stunning way that he couldn't believe his eyes. Rubbing them to make sure his eye's weren't playing tricks on him. A grin slowly made it's way onto his face.
"Why Valor dear, you look absolutely stunning right now." Skyrin complimented, nodding his head while his cheeks were dusted a light red. His ribbons flowed around him before he snapped himself back to attention. Nodding.
"Anyways, you guys seem to be looking well and doing well." Skyrin stated before glancing back at who was racing up in a hurry, her face spotted with chocolate splats. Sky stood at Skyrin's side, suddenly alittle bit too hyper then what she was when she came to the party.
"Ahaha. Merry Christmas guys!" Sky yelped happily, her tail wagging happily while her tongue stuck out before she glanced to Valor and gasped,
"WHOA! Valor! I wouldn't expect you to wear that! Is it a one time only thing?" Sky asked curiously, then turned her attention to Akino.
"Dude. I like, saw the fangirls and how you scared them away, nice shot.... Skyrin, thank Akino for saving your girl from that box." Sky waved a paw. Skyrin blinked before nodding his head to Akino, once again, as a thanks.

Viviane, on the other hand, seemed to just be walking in, carrying a stack of presents with her, humming something. She seemed to be wearing a simple long white dress, with long sleeves, the sleeves puffing up torwards the end. She simply wasn't gonna wear that anymore after tonight. But atleast the silk felt nice. She glanced around at the bright lights, and twitched her ears at the sudden yell and screams of excitement heard through the room before glancing up. Looked like some of her friends were already up at the tree. She breathed a sigh of relief, happy that she wouldn't have to find them and walked faster, making sure to keep proper balance on the gifts in her hands before walking up and standing next to Valor, giving a small smile.
"Hey guys. Merry Christmas to all of you." She gave a nod of her head while setting her gifts down.
"How have you guys been faring lately?" The delphox asked, swaying her tail behind her in a sweeping motion. She started to wonder where Geno was now suddenly.

[chromatic.]

Icy eagerly took the cheesecake bite that lance offered to her since she certainly had gained an appetite. "You aren't trying to fatten me up are you." She asked narrowing her eyes at him playfully. Although she did appreciate him bring her favorite drink to the little party, hopefully they could keep his siblings from making the same mistake as she did the first time, thinking that it was juice and eventually drinking alot of it which also let to her wanting Arceus flavored ice cream? "Oh did you bring the Arceus flavored ice cream as well?" She joked as a servant brought her a glass of the stuff. She was surely gonna enjoy a couple cups before someone probably raja would rip it away from her. She turned to see everyone else chatting it up and giving each other their gifts so she thought that this would be the perfect time to give lance's his gift. After sliding out of her chair oh so carefully since her servants did do as they usually did and dressed her up in the dresses she tried so hard to avoid but luckily enough it was simple and she could move around great in it, it's just that she didn't want to get a wrinkle in it or else such a small problem would probably urge the servants to make her change into more and more dresses for their pleasure to finally see her in one more often. She walked off for a little then returned with a box with simple white wrapping paper and a turquoise bow. She had thought long and hard about what she could possibly get the new king of soteria since he could probably buy everything he wanted since the funds were now shared between them but sooner than later a present sorta made itself known. After climbing back into her seat she gave the box inside of it to lance and just smiled at him. "Welp your present may not have been bought or made by a master blacksmith ot anything but perhaps it can still be just as good?" She asked as she waited for him to open his present which actually contained a plush ninetails she had made herself as well as a tiny eevee that the ninetails was holding. The plushies had a pink and blue tag that said "It's a...."

Aerix on the other hand was glad to dress up for once although there was only so many things a dog with that much fluff can wear without over heating so he settled for a nice and festive vest. He of course mingled and talked to the majority of those who were there since he was quite the people pleaser before moving onto his main friends that was, one of which was being eagerly sought after by a group of fangirls. "Ahh I thought the fan groups stopped when all the shipping started. " he said as he had been secretly catching up on all the fanfictions acacia had made. Even though his intentions was to go visit and talk to his group of friends his mind changed once he saw crystal and before you could know it he was by her side. "Well hello there dear." He said as he helped himself to the strawberry shortcake that she was currently eating.

Valor nodded, tucking the three items away. "Thanks, Akino- I'll try, though whips are more of a... err... Sky thing." She said rather quickly, taking a strawberry trifle with extra cream and custard and beginning to dig into the first few layers. "And, thanks, I'm glad you like it. Top of the notch technology." She swallowed a few spoonfuls of cream, fruit, and custard before sweeping her gaze across the room. "So, how are Royce and Shannon doing-" Her words were cut off by the piercing scream of a fangirl and the woosh of an object being thrown towards her. Her instincts kicking into action, she whipped around just as a bolt pierced through the box and lodged it in the ceiling with a thud and the squeals of excited fangirls. "Nope," she answered calmly, swallowing another spoonfull of whipped cream. "If anything, I think they'll try even harder to impress you. And, well," She shot a glare at a straggling Floatzel, who was trying to sneak up on Akino with a stack of fanfic papers. "I'm glad I don't live with it." She eyed the mountain of gifts. "So, what are you doing nowadays, apart from still obsessively training every day? How's Acacia?" She was about to ask some more, but a thud made her turn around to two Pokemon who she recognized in an instant. "Hey! Merry Christmas!" She abandoned her trifle, which seemed to droop sadly on the table, and swept out two more gifts for Sky and Skyrin. "Er, thanks," She murmured, seeming a bit embarrased. "You like nice too- it's good to see you again! How's kingship going for you, Skyrin?" She caught sight of Sky bouncing towards them with chocolate smeared all over her face, and quickly finished the rest of her trifle while she had the chance. "And, yeah," She said, swallowing the rest of the sweet treat, "It's a one time thing. So don't get used to it." She said rather bluntly, adjusting her bandana. "Anyways, hi, Sky! How's Turquoina?" She looked up to see Vivianne approaching as well, and pulled out a third present. "Hi, Vivianne! I've been doing pretty good. You know. As the head knight. Geno's drinking some Capri Sun, he loves the pouches." She said, pointing at the punch table and trying not to smirk. "But, before you go..." She handed Vivianne a present wrapped in orange paper, stenciled with shimmering flames (There's a sword inside). "And here's yours, Sky, but save it for later..." She swung a huge gift basket over to the hyperactive Sylveon. Inside, were layers upon layers of different, exotic sweets, all from the most extreme points of Elysion. Big chunks of Pidgeot egg whites sweetened with honey and embedded with crunchy nuts; creamy chocolate bars filled with Milktank cheese curds; hot peppers smothered with rich chocolate; melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows that fizzed like soda, even in your stomach; sweet wax made out of pure Excegutor leaf sugar; and much, much more, including a toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste hidden at the bottom. "Your turn, Skyrin." She leaned close to the Shiny Sylveon and pecked him on the cheek. "Here's the present part." She grinned, handing him a gift with pale blue-and-pink wrapping paper (It has a little shiny Sylveon plush inside wearing armor and holding a sword, cause, knight in shining armor .3.)

[~*Amber*~]

Lance looked up, mid munch of a crunchy walnut cake before nearly choking on it as she brought up the Arceus flavored icecream. He averted his eyes slightly with a nervous chuckle, remembering he licked his neck after saying that. He lifted the present box and shook it gently before taking off the lid and taking the plushie out and looking it over. He fumbled with the tag and looked at it "It's a what?" He pondered for a moment before starting at the eevee in her arms and he stood abruptly, his jaw dropping before he paused and went "Wait- but we never even ha- ooooh yeah.. Hehe" he remembered before turning to Icy, his purple eyes big and he grinned wide, flashing a toothy grin. "I'm gonna be a father...I'm gonna be a dad! He called out and took both her front paws after setting rhe gift down before pulling her forward to spin her breifly, his excitement matching that of child rather than a king.

Akino frowned lightly as it was obvious Valor was not so fond of the presents and he sighed quietly, preparing to say something before Skyrin, Sky and viviane approached. He scowled slightly as Skyrin greeted Valor so flirtasiously and he turned away, answering the others with short inaudable mutters, taking from his bag the three presents for the others. One was yellow with red ribbon for viviane and a blue and pink one for Skyrin while sky's was just a gigantic lolipop the size of a big frying pan. "Promise me later we go to a dentist cause this party will leave you toothless if you dont get them looked at" he directed to sky before looking away once more and after a moment he waded in the massive pile of gifts from his fangirls and slumped down and began to pull out letters and began to read them grumpily.

(Skyrin's present is a book of how to treat a woman right (XD) with the side note of 'You better treat her right' while Viviane has a purple dress with a bunch of other color bows on the side with a mini note 'Acacia picked these out- arceus knows what i would have gotten you')

[KookieKaz]

As Crystal licked the last of the white frosting off her fingers, she turned to see the Arcanine and smiled, "Aerix!" She chirped happily, giving him a peck on the cheek. She handed him the last piece of her short cake and plucked a package wrapped in crimson colored paper. She walked back over to Aerix and handed him his gift, "Merry Christmas," she chirped once more.
(Inside is a Buneary plush toy holding a fluffy pink blanket... and a bottle of sparkling bore'ale shipped out from the outskirts of Elysion .3.)
Geno glanced at the group of females. He shook his head as one of them attempted to smack Valor from the air with a box. Sucha stubborn bunch of girls. They can't seem to understand the Manetric. He then glanced over to Lance and Icy. Suddenly announcing his status as future father. He smiled lightly before he perked up, "Why hello there~" A sudden voice cooed out that seemingly was directed to him. His gaze to see the Grass Snake pokemon, a female Servine. "Fancy meeting such a strong and handsome pokemom here tonight~" he stared blankly at her for a moment before turning away abruptly, "Sorry not interested..." he muttered. She then groped his hand a rubbed it ever so gently, "Why so shy hun? Its just a gestured of affection. Why don't we go so-" she was interrupted when he jerked his hand away. Only for the Servine to clutched arm once more. "Dear Arecus please help me..." he growled lowly, clenched his unoccupied hand.

(*Crawlsinanddies* Hereitis.....)

Sky's eyes lit up in excitement at the gift Valor had provided her with, squealing loudly with excitement as she poked her head into the basket to scan the goods. She yipped happily, wagging her tail, yet her eyes caught onto something that wasn't candy in the bag, and she puffed up her cheeks before shrugging.
"Ahh! Thank you!" She squealed, skipping over to her bag and digging around for a moment and coming back out with a neat long square box, with shiny brown wrapping paper, lined with white ribbon and a light blue bow. She handed it over to Valor, grinning.
"Fancy you, i know you used swords, so i thought i could get you something crafted in Turquoian brand of sorts, especially with all its minerals." Sky chirped happily. Before emitting an even louder gasp from the lollipop Akino gave her, goodness grief it was big when she saw it. She cheered happily and stuck it into her basket. Only giggled.
"Oh Akino! You know i don't like that place." Sky chirped, going into her bag and coming back out with a smaller, more cubed box, covered in black sparkly wrapping paper with silver ribbon and a gold bow. She followed him over to the pile of gifts, glancing back at Skyrin, who tossed Sky the gift he had for Akino, which was covered in silver wrapping paper, with a bright blue bow ontop.(which contained different minerals from Turquoina he could use to make something. Causehesablacksmithibelieve-) Sky wobbled over, poking her head in and set down the two gifts, which were held steady with her ribbons and set down.
"Akino, your two gifts from me and Skyrin are right here, if you need someone to talk to. I'm here." Sky chirped happily, yet her voice was laced with worry, but she didn't say anything too much before she skipped off down the steps and back to the tables. To enjoy another delicious sweet treat or two.

Viviane nodded her head to Valor, grinning.
"Pfft. Good to hear, i'll go and check up on him." She glanced to Valor, accepting the gifts into her hands, nodding her head and grinning.
"Ah. Thank you, i'll open this later. Here ya go." Viviane plucked a slightly smaller boxed present covered in silver wrapping paper, topped with a chocolate colored bow.
"You know when it comes to finding out what other mons' like. I decided to pick something that involved fighting?" She grinned and handed it over to the bird, her eyes were casted to the punch bowl, and immediately, her eyes narrowed. She dropped her gifts next to Valor, and quickly whisked over to the punch bowl, and wrapped her hand around the Servine's neck, not tightly, but enough to seem threatening.
"Hun, i hate to burst your bubble, but i wouldn't wanna be a fried snake ring meal for the next party all because your flirting with some woman's man. I suggest. you go. NOW." She stated, in a firm threatening growl, flattening her ears slightly.

Skyrin jumped in surprise from the peck on the cheek, his face burning red before a goofy smile made its way onto his face.
"Hehe... thank you..." He took the gift into one of his ribbons and set it down onto the ground. He would open that later, first he wanted to present his gift.
"Sweetie, i have something i want to... give..." He took out a small silver case. Fumbling with it in a ribbon for a moment before gathering it into his paws and crouching down slightly. A nervous grin was present on his face as he looked up.
"Valor... the first day when i met you, and flirted with you. You slapped me across the face, and honestly. I didn't mind. My feelings for you grew ever since that day. To me, your the best fighter i know around. Especially through the air. Even through the times, i thought about you... There is really no one else i would rather be with, then you. Your just so beautiful, dressed classy or not, even if we get older..." Skyrin sniffled lightly, fiddling with the box to open it, inside was (This ring, where the diamonds are tinier flying gems)
"Valor... My precious Mon amour, mon petit gâteau moelleux princesse, will you marry me?..."

[~*Amber*~]

Akino's eye twitched. He slowly shifted on his presant pile to look down at Skyrin and Valor, feeling his frown intensify. His eyes narrowed and his lips curled back to show his fangs. He stood up, a few loose presents tumbling down the mountain and he approached in a threatening manner. He dislodged a few presant as he slid down before getting a firm footing on the ground. He was about to get over to them and stand in between them until he stopped, seeing Acacia land next to him. The alteria had tears coming from his eyes and he discarded with with a flick of his cottony wing. "Akino- isn't it beautiful? They are going to be so happy together..." He stiffled, his beak curled in a smile. Akino looked up at the staraptor and Sylveon... His ears suddenly dropped and felt guilt wash over him like a tsunami. They... /ARE/ happy... His eyes softened and he glanced at Skyrin who presented the ring to the staraptor before he slowly turned and made his way back up the pile. Acacia seemed to notice and he flapped up by him and started "Akino, look-" Akino cut his best friend off "Acacia, I know you mean well, but don't pity or try to comfort me, it is the last thing I want" he murmured avoiding his gaze before lifting the presant Sky left for him.
