Description
As I start to see the horizon getting brighter and brighter I start to slow down again. The city is being extremely well lit and even almost half a mile outside the interior I can make out tons of noise and talking. Pokemon are everywhere, people are everywhere. As cold as it is, I almost think that there are more people here than there were at any other time I’ve had control over this body. It feels like every single person in the city is out and about enjoying the festival with all of their pokemon being out as well. This does give us some extra leniency as we are far less likely to stand out all that much. Many of the pokemon are wearing coats as well, though some don’t for fairly obvious reasons, either wanting to be able to still fly without restriction or have a body that isn’t concerned about the cold. Maria is taking it all in, letting her gaze wander though I can tell that like me, her eyes are still assessing everything to see if it’s a threat or not. A problem of the fact that we pose as trainer-less pokemon whenever I’m out. Benny, however, I almost have to corral with one of my tails. So enraptured with everything going on that he doesn’t even pay that much attention to where he’s going.

((OOC: So one of the biggest challenges regarding this particular part is that they are supposed to be out in a busy city with tons of people and pokemon all out and about. So there are going to be several pages where I'm to show them in a crowd. But there are two problems with this: 1) I don't really know how to draw crowds effectively and more importantly 2) this comic is longer than the others by far already (average drawing time of part 4 was 105 minutes. average drawing time of part 5 is 215 minutes) and I don't want to be spending hours just drawing background characters (which I kind of do at the end but it makes sense there when I draw specific background characters and they never say anything). So it was the issue of how best to cheat at crowds and make it obvious there are a lot there without me having to spend much of any time drawing them. This is the only time I do it like this. It'll be more obvious when you see the other times it shows up))
