Happy Birthday to You

"Happy Birthday to You" is one of the main story-line events in Pokemon Alabaster. It is the prologue and the first event of the game, being the very beginning of the story that takes place in Sun Dew Town.

Summary
After filling up the files online for their enrollment to Nyejo Academy, the protagonist heads downstairs to celebrate their tenth birthday with their mother, their childhood friend Cirrus, and several of their neighbors from Sun Dew Town.

Event
When the game starts up, the protagonist is currently going through a screening process for their enrollment for Nyejo Academy. The protagonist learns that their enrollment to the school has been accepted. They then read through the details (like the game's controls and the Nyejo Region) before filling up the missing details to their application (where the player choices the protagonist's gender and name).

After finishing up the process on their computer, the protagonist can go downstairs to greet their mother, Diane Olive. It is then revealed that today is the protagonist's birthday, and their birthday gift is the Running Shoes.

The protagonist's mom then send them to bring Cirrus, the protagonist's neighbor and childhood friend, to their house. After finding Cirrus and fetching him to their house, the protagonist (and Cirrus) are startled by a surprised birthday greeting by Diane and the neighborhood residents.

From there, Diane revealed that she has one more surprised for both her son and Cirrus: the both of them can get their first Pokemon from her ranch! Since it is their birthday, the protagonist can choose which Pokemon to have first. The protagonist can only choose between Larvesta, Togepi, or Beldum. After that, Cirrus will get his turn to choose a Pokemon, which will be the Pokemon with a type advantage over the protagonist's Pokemon.

While Cirrus is choosing his Pokemon, the protagonist can do whatever they want while waiting. To progress the story, they need to talk to at least most of the guests in the house. In addition, talking to Susise will have the little girl give the protagonist a White Flute as their birthday gift.

Once done, Cirrus returns to the house with his new Pokemon and challenges the protagonist to a battle. However, Diane quickly stops it as she doesn't want a Pokemon fight in her house. Then, the old lady Jada has finished preparing the cake. Everyone quickly gather around the cake as the cake's candles are lit and the room's lights are turned off. Everyone then sings Happy Birthday, which then transition to the game's logo.
