Meet Your Festival Workers!

TRIP runs the Ring the Bronzong stand! He’s a carpenter by trade and a native of Lacunosa. He got roped into helping out with the Village Bridge festivities by his wife the first year the festival took place and he's reprised his role every year since! His favorite part of running his stall is watching all the hopefuls try to aim for the sky. He trains several fighting-type pokémon to help him in his shop and with dwelling construction, and a few of them can usually be seen hanging out by his stand. His oldest partner is a reliable Conkeldurr named Betsy.

MIRA is volunteering to host the MooMoo Milk Knock-Off game once more! She’s a student in Castelia College spending her holiday vacation with her parents, who live in Village Bridge. She decided to help out with the festival during the first year because it looked like a ton of fun and she even got to meet superstar idols Cristoph and Nancy in the flesh! She hasn’t looked back since. She’s not much of a trainer but she does have a companion pokémon, a Minccino she calls Sweetpea.

CAM(ERON) joined the team during the second year of the festival and is in charge of the Holiday Hoop-as! A Nimbasa native, he’s an avid sports fan and a pretty good hoop man himself, though he prefers baseball to most other sports. When he’s not running his stall, he’s hanging out at the nearby sports courts, chatting up on the latest League news, or training with his pokémon partner, Buddy the Mienshao.

AKARI is a pastry chef that came all the way from Sinnoh last year to showcase her sweets. She’s the mastermind behind the extremely popular Cherubi Jubilees and assorted Holiday Poffins and was invited to work the concession stands this year. Though she’s a bit shy, she and her trusty Vespiquen, Cressida, are always down to suggest items from the menu to best suit their customers’ tastes.
