Express Delivery A deep bellow calls out over the treeline. It's not a noise you're used to hearing. Definitely not owned by one of the wild pokemon native to the area. Eyes drawn to the sky from where you surmise the sound's origin a small yellow bulge holds your attention. A hand slips to your forehead to shade you as you squint at the object. It's rapidly growing larger. Another bellow. Like that from a deep belly it rolls over the landscape. Soon more features register. Wings and wispy whiskers. A bag held securely against its side. The rare pokemon dives down lower to finish its approach near the ground. Considering its girth the beast's speed was awesome. Within but a couple moments it was slamming on its aerial breaks to land before you. Surprisingly gentle it's step into the lush greenery beneath it. Dragonite waved happily, making it unmistakable that it was here for you. But why? A question that would soon begin to be answered with an envelope it swiftly pulled from its messenger bag. It offered you the mail and once taken would chirp a quick good-bye and jump back into the air. Presumably to continue its deliveries. Inside the envelope was less than you would hope to solve this mystery. A finely printed card on lightly lemon-scented paper that simply indicates You are Invited! and a cruise ticket slipped from the slim package. You have received an S.S. Ticket! You're not sure what this all means, but the instructions say to be ready at the docks at the beginning of next month

The weather is dark, damp, and dingy as the impressive cruise ship, the S.S. Zulu is set to depart on its maiden voyage. The S.S. Zulu was a long and arduous project to complete, which featured many different lead designers, project managers, a variety of different materials, and restructuring of the interior and exterior of the ship. The fact that the project was seen through to completion is incredible, and the results are as of yet untested. Just over 1,000 Pokémon trainers, coordinators, and explorers were invited on board to enjoy the cruise’s first voyage, a short trip around some uninhabited islands, with many festivities planned throughout the trip!
"Welcome aboard the ship! I am your captain, Captain Oak! It's a pleasure to meet you! Make sure you check in so that you can be assigned to your cabin where you can keep all of your belongings, then feel free to explore the ship! The ship is definitely safe, so don’t worry if you hear the sounds of scurrying pokemon in the walls! It’s probably just… the pipes, definitely the pipes! Enjoy your stay! This boat definitely will not sink!"
HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY! It's true! ZapdosZulu is officially 15 years old! Time for a quinceanera? Well, what we have isn't quite that, but we sure do hope you'll have fun! On board the S.S. Zulu, you'll find a variety of games to play and things to do. Make sure to check-in here to claim your boarding prizes! We hope that everyone will have fun roleplaying with each other, and feel free to make your own fun! just like the years before we are giving away prizes to members depending on how long they have been with the site.

Oh wow 15 years, we need a really fancy cake for that. I remember being here years ago, I think back in like 2010-11, and this place is still super fun! I'll use Dawn's joining date, cause I was away for so long, but that means I've been here for: 1 month, 6 days I'll give the 2 Nest Balls, 60 Coins, and 3 Oran Berries to Dawn.

Wow Lamont way to make everything feel old! (Lol) I'm still a baby compared to some (*cough* Tarlar *cough*). Let's see...I joined Jan 31, 2019? That's 3 years now. That should be 2 Net Balls, 150 coins, and I'll take Chilan & Occa Berry with my Lum Berry then. Give the berries to Mishu and everything else to Zaiden please. (I can self-update after work today though).

I'm a ninja, not a pirate, but shiver me timbers! This event looks to be loads of fun! Hard to believe it's been 15 years for ZZ. Makes me wish I could've seen it back when it was first startin' out. What a time that must've been. But as it stands, I've been a member here since July 26th, 2017. So, that gives me a grand total of 4 years, 8 months, and 13 days. 1717 days in total. So, for my prizes, that'll be 2 Lure Balls, 200 coins, 4 RTs, and for my berries, I'd like a Kasib Berry, a Payapa Berry, and a Shuca Berry. All added to Venom's inventory, of course. Thanks so much.

Will getcha updated Nategrey ^^ Porcupine2099 we can just use your registered date, which is Oct 3rd of last year :D Which bumps yah up to the 'Less than 2 Years' bracket as juuuust over 6 months (using Apr 8th as the end date)! Which berries would you like to choose? And for myself! I've been here since Dec '15, so that's 6 years and 4 months :D I'll self-update everything, the Duskballs & 2 Salac berries to Damien. It's always wonderful to see this place still going which wouldn't be at all possible without all y'all popping back in from long breaks and sticking with us through all our high and low periods. Here's to another 5 years to the next milestone!
