Unfortunately, there's no way to know. I believe that some people have seen rare Pokémon that might be legendaries during these weekends, but no one has ever reported finding a cause for them.

[It's possible that someone's keeping quiet about it, but there's no point in mentioning that. There's also no point in mentioning the machine theory to someone he scarcely knows.]

Why do you ask?

[preybeforemeals]

[He just laughs a bit at that question, the sound quiet.]

You have to admit that it was a bit jarring - especially since it's the first time I've seen something like that! I'm a curious person, monsieur, that's all.

[sadisticwarfare]

Ah, of course. It's been a long time since I first experienced this. I suppose it's become something I expect now.

[preybeforemeals]

Every six months, isn't it...?

[sadisticwarfare]

That's correct.

[preybeforemeals]

I'm fortunate that I know people who have been here longer than I have; I was able to get some advance warning of the last one before this region became the strangest place I've ever seen for three days.

Nothing quite prepared me for the apocalypse a month before, but I suppose that's what keeps life interesting.

[sadisticwarfare]

It's not the first time we've had an apocalyptic situation, though the previous one involved rampaging golems.

[He's never going to get over the golem-tipping...]

[preybeforemeals]

[...]

Dare I ask?

[sadisticwarfare]

It wasn't nearly as impressive as it sounds. They showed up and vanished shortly after.

[preybeforemeals]

When did that happen, if you don't mind?

[sadisticwarfare]

It was around this time two years ago.

[preybeforemeals]

[......]

This place really does like its holidays, doesn't it.

[sadisticwarfare]

Of course it does. Clearly we aren't allowed to have normal holidays.

[preybeforemeals]

I wonder what the significance of May is? I understand a lot of odd things happen around Halloween, and the end of November is America's Thanksgiving...and obviously there's Christmas this month.

Six months from November puts us in May. It's a bit late for Easter, and while it could be Golden Week somehow I doubt it.

[sadisticwarfare]

[...What's Golden Week...?]

I don't know what the significance of May is. Perhaps it's just something that happens every six months without it being reliant on a holiday.

[preybeforemeals]

[...a logical conclusion given that he's Japanese as fuck.]

So it's something like the arrivals - it's something this place has scheduled?

[sadisticwarfare]

It certainly seems that way.

[preybeforemeals]

How strange...

[He'll...definitely have to look into that, won't he.]

Were you familiar at all with the Legendaries in October, by the way? I've been looking for material about them, that one that showed up toward the end of it all in particular.

[sadisticwarfare]

No, I'm afraid I'm not. I was more interested in researching the legendary Pokémon associated with this region; those Pokémon never came up. Have you found anything about them?

[preybeforemeals]

Some! The one at the end seems to be the master god-figure, if I'm not mistaken. Most of the other Pokémon seem to have some sort of origin that involves being created, or having some sort of ancestor that they descended from. Arceus, on the other hand, supposedly came from an egg that was formed out of the chaos that existed before the universe was created - sort of like the Big Bang, if you're familiar with the concept, but instead of the universe resulting from it, a Pokémon was created, and then that Pokémon created everything else.

[sadisticwarfare]

...Fascinating. I'll have to look into this - Arceus, was it?

[oh boy nerd alert]

[preybeforemeals]

Yes, that's right.

From the information I got out of one of those poorly-dressed men in blue, their deity of choice is called Kyogre; I haven't looked into that one quite as much.

[sadisticwarfare]

Very interesting. I'll be sure to look into them. Thank you for the information.

[preybeforemeals]

I do what I can, Monsieur Archer! People here have been good to me, so I may as well repay the favor, non?

[sadisticwarfare]

Of course. Is there anything else?
