The Colorful Stage of Crystal
As the group's caravan arrived in Bigrotte a few days later, Serena gasped in excitement over a poster on a lamppost. "Oh, Arceus! The Brilliante Troupe is here for Bigrotte's annual Diamond Festival!" "I seem to remember their performance of 'The Faithful Fair One' a few years ago--and they were gracious enough to come perform in Croquis' little theater." Brock remembered as Serena guided the caravan past the colorfully decorated houses on the town's main street to the inn. "You are in luck, caravanners--I still have some rooms left." the innkeeper assured Serena. "But in honor of the festival, I have waived the usual fee for caravanners." "Thank you, good sir..." Serena replied as she gave the innkeeper a bag of coins. "Please take some coins anyway to cover the upkeep of our wagon and to care for the Ponytas." "Very well, good lady..." the innleeper replied as he accepted the coins. "We'll take care of your wagon and your Ponytas while you enjoy the festival--if you hurry, the

#1150: The Sakura Guards the Forest
"The Sakura Guards the Forest" is a thrilling play with May and Brock in the leads. Fans say to come for the group's martial arts skills, and stay for their camaraderie with each other. The show tells the story of Noble Beautifly and Wandering Raikou who find themselves unlikely partners when the evil Iron Drapion makes a move into the forest Wandering Raikou calls home to seek out the seventy Divine Pearls. Joined by several other heroes seeking to stop Iron Drapion, Noble Beautifly and Wandering Raikou become the partners--and the heroes they never knew they needed. "Originally, Brock and me were supposed to be love interests, with Misty as the jealous rival." May remembers. "But Misty didn't like that idea--and Brock didn't either. So with the playwright's permission, we rewrote our characters from the ground up to the show you see today. We never saw the love interest version of the script--and that's probably a good thing!"

Drama #109: Journey to the Mysterious Palace
"Journey to the Mysterious Palace" is an intriguing new drama that many say evokes the iconic "Eight Spirits' Journey to the Night Castle". However, many that have seen the show say the show and the iconic play are very different. The show tells the story of Lucky Taillow, who takes it upon herself to journey to the titular palace, and learn if its sudden appearance in the Waku-like fantasy world is something to be revered, or feared. Based on what clues have been revealed so far, the palace is something to be revered, but only time will tell as the show continues, and more characters and factions are introduced. The show is turning out to be very popular, with a volume of home video and the show's OST selling out quickly. A comic adaptation has been announced, and some fans are hopeful a video game will release too. Foreign networks are encouraged by the enthusiasm in Waku, but only time will tell if the show will be subbed or adapted. The group has enjoyed what they have seen thus

Hero #109: The Arrow Sorcerer
The Arrow Sorcerer is an arrow slinging hero that some have confused for a red mage from Final Fantasy--mainly due to the costume design. The costume color was quickly changed to blue after an initial change to green was met with bad fan reaction, and has remained that way since then. In comic lore explains that the Arrow Sorcerer is part of a long line of magic arrow slinging wizards, whose order still survives to the present. Some of the comic's stories also explore the adventures of Arrow Sorcerers and Sorceresses of the past--and one story involved the current Arrow Sorcerer protecting his successor. No matter which generation the comic explores, fans enjoy the many clever magical arrows, and clever ways to use them. Some of his best known rogues are the Cursemancer, Sabletron, and the Firefiend. The Arrow Sorcerer is a fairly popular hero, with his comics, a TV show, toys (replicas of his bow and action figures are popular), home video, and apparel available. A video game has

"We're all across the stage, in the aisles, and flying high above the audience! It was a little nerve racking doing some parkour inside the aisles--since we do have to keep audience safety in mind when we go out into the audience.

About The Four Lights and the Dark Rainbow
In the ancient region of Beltaire--a Kalos of the distant past--a legend was told of seven heroes that defended the land from an evil wizard named Lysandre. However, Lysandre's dark magic was too powerful for the seven heroes and they became seven fallen warriors known as the Dark Rainbow. Queen Diantha was devastated by this turn of events--how could Lysandre be defeated when seven heroes were turned to evil? Then she remembered that three of her most capable musketeers--three Wakunese refugees that had fled to Beltaire to escape an evil ruler of their own--and their runeblade ally could potentially help. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Serena were all heartbroken at the fate of the seven heroes--and Ash vowed that he would do everything he could to prevent Beltaire from meeting the same fate as Waku. Misty agreed that marching straight to Lysandre's lair was foolhardy--and that they needed to find a way to counter or block Lysandre's evil magic and that of the Dark Rainbow. It didn't help
