It starts with a bright light in the sky, almost as if a second sun has risen directly over the city. Floating down are multiple shining motes that are slightly hot to the touch and shimmer gently, forming a sparkling cloud.

Quite suddenly, multiple bolts of electricity radiate out from a central point above the bright light, forming a network of lightning that races across the sky before arrowing downwards to a single point, discharging itself in the ground with a blinding flash.

When it clears, there's a young girl standing just a few feet away from the site of the strike, arms outstretched as she strikes a dramatic pose, a massive six-winged moth floating gently beside her.

"Behold! Kotoha, the legendary heavenly genius, has arrived!"

As she drops the pose, a Magnezone slowly floats down from the skies above, side magnets spinning weakly.

"Nice job with the effects, you two! Okay, let's go get some lunch, huh?"

...what the hell was that all about?

S'cool!

Kotoha chuckles at that.

"Well, I could tell you a lot of things about this specific Volcarona, then?"

[sparkleminded]

I'm all ears.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha takes a moment to compose her thoughts before she starts talking.

"I caught him because Volcarona can learn Fly."

There's a dreamy look on her face as she remembers something.

"The first time we flew together...I could see all of Unova below us, and it was like I could just...reach out and grasp it in my hand. His wings shed tiny scales behind us that sparkled in the sun - it was like I was riding a on a sunbeam made solid."

She shakes herself out of her revery, a gentle smile still tugging at the corners of her lips.

"I'll never forget that moment. Not for as long as I live."

[sparkleminded]

[... he's going to come closer and see if he can see that scale shed because omg]

[unbroken_chain]

If you look closely, there's a faint, shimmering haze around the moth's wings, tiny sparkling scales flaking off and wafting gently in the air. It's too hot near his wings to get close, but the trail of powder lowers in temperature further away - after three feet it's simply uncomfortably hot instead of outright scalding.

[sparkleminded]

[... do you see this boy here? This is a boy who is considering being unfaithful because he wants one]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha is very carefully not looking directly at you in order to hide her face.

"If you want, I can collect some of his scales in jars?"

She can't quite keep the amused lilt out of her voice as she offers you the sparklepowder.

[sparkleminded]

[It's not even sure he'd notice your face in this state]
... really?

[unbroken_chain]

"Of course!"

A slight pause.

"I just need to find a clean jar first."
