As night falls the people of the village line the streets. The festival doesn't seem to be over. You follow a large group to the Village Center, a large fountain of a knight and a Escavalier sits in the middle of the village. The fountain seems to be a tribute of sorts, the towns people surround it with flowers and candles, you notice a picture of an older man at the foot of the fountain. Could it be that you've come to the village during some kind of wake?

You hear music in the distance. It appears that the Village Center is the end of a parade route. Musicians and dancers march down the street, people and pokemon sing and dance through the street as they make their way towards the fountain. At the end of the parade is a single float, above it stands a young man, he resembles the man in the picture at the foot of the fountain. A relative perhaps? Behind the young man is a large lance embedded in stone, it looks ancient yet preserved.

The people of the village cheer loudly for the young man as he steps off the float and kneels before the fountain. The people grow quiet, you notice that many of the people are in tears. You overhear a couple behind you. The young man on the float is named Rio Jobim Jr., he is the son of the man in the picture, the recently deceased Rio Jobim Senior. You recognize the name, Rio was the gym leader of Samba Village. Rio passed away two weeks ago, his son is now accepting the position of gym leader.

You pull up your PokeGear app and check the town map for info. Samba Village was the birthplace of Wagner, one of the Harmo Region's greatest warriors, legend says he helped bring peace to region 1700 years ago. It seems the fountain depicts Wagner with his partner pokemon, Escavalier. The lance behind Rio is supposedly the lance of Wagner himself, one of the legendary weapons of the Harmo Region.

The villagers throw flowers and beads towards Rio Jr. He humbly waves and smiles back to the villagers. However his moment of celebration and mourning is cut short. A black cloud of smoke fills the street. A group of people dressed as gypsy pirates wearing various pokemon masks storm the village and surround Rio and the fountain. The village is on fire. The pirates start sending out pokemon. Rio reaches for his own pokeball. Rio sends out a large blue penguin pokemon.
Empoleon, the Emperor Pokmon. The three horns that extend from its beak attest to its power. The leader has the biggest horns. It swims as fast as a jet boat. The edges of its wings are sharp and can slice apart drifting ice. If anyone were to hurt its pride, it would slash them with wings that can cleave through an ice floe. It avoids unnecessary disputes, but it will decimate anything that threatens its pride."

What do you do?
A) Help Rio, these guys mean trouble
B) Evacuate, you need to get to safety
