Takarazuka Revue Star Troupe Top Musumeyaku Maisora Hitomi Retirement Press Conference “I am overwhelmed with sentiments”

(Source from Nikkan Sports)

Takarazuka Revue Star Troupe Top Musumeyaku Maisora Hitomi has decided to retire in December 2024, and she had her press conference in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre “Espree Hall” on the 8th. In a white dress, Maisora says, “to everyone whom I have met, taught me, guided me, raised me up, and to all the fans so far, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I will continue to evolve every day as a Takarazuka musumeyaku before the last day comes and want to do my best.”

Maisora entered the Revue, ranking first of the 102th class in 2016. After assigned to Flower Troupe, she was known for her loveable appearnace and sharp dancing. In April 2019, she was transferred to Star Troupe and in the same year in October, with Rei Makoto as her partner, she became the Top Musumeyaku. She was the heroine for many overseas musical (adaptations), such as “Romeo and Juliette” “1789 – Lovers of the Bastille”. Together with Rei-san, they are the Top Combi of the firsts. (*Rei Makoto was ranked first of the 95th class.)

She decided her retirement after the closing performance of “ME AND MY GIRL”, in which she admired, and she played the heroine Sally in the performance. “I decided to retire on this 110th anniversary, a turning point in which I feel so content and fulfilled in my heart.” She told this news to Rei-san in the rehearsals for the previous Grand Theatre performance, and (REi Makoto has said), “If that is what Naco-chan (Maisora) has decided, I will suport her fully.”

Her memorable performances were three, including her first role without changes in Flower Troupe’s performance “Hanna’s Florist”, “Romeo and Juliette” to which she described, “how I instantly felt that I was welcoming a new ‘door’ of myself”, “Valencian Passion” to which she played the heroine in Shibata Yukihiro’s play, a director whom she admired.

In the conference, she wore the necklace Rei-san gifted her. “Rei-san said these encouraging words, ‘Even if you can’t do it, that’s fine. As long as you enjoy yourself the fullest on stage’. Such words gave me the motivation to continue moving forward,” she smiled and recalled.

Her retirement performance will be “Hit Me Anyone One More Time -Top Secret- / Tiara Azul -Destino-” which will be performing in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre on August 17~September 22. And after the Tokyo Takarazuka theatre performances on October 19-December 1, she will be retiring (from Takarazuka Revue) after the closing performance.

Summary: When Vivi makes a midnight escape from the palace of Alabasta and flees the country in an attempt to get stronger and rejoin the Straw Hat pirates as a full crew member she finds herself unsure of her path forward. That is until a chance meeting brings her face to face with her former enemy, and former hero, Sir Crocodile who agrees to help her on her quest to find a devil fruit for herself.

It's surprisingly easy to make peace with the former warlord, if not to forgive or trust him. But the longer she spends around him, and the former Baroque Works agents helping her find her way through the Grand Line, the more she finds that the troubles in her heart are not the simple ones that she expected to be facing.

-

The sea wind fluttered through Vivi's hair as she stood, newspaper in hand, on the deck of the merchant vessel she'd acquired passage on. Five days ago she had made her escape from Alabasta, and now the ship was in sight of its destination, a busy trading hub called Espree, where she would have to figure out the next step of her grand plan.

The scent of the salt water tickled her nose as she read the headline again, the bustle of the merchants preparing to disembark with their wares fading into the background as she looked at the photograph of her smiling face.

“Princess Vivi Nefertari Missing! The Desert Princess Stolen Away in the Night?!”

She remembered the day that photograph was taken, and the reasons for its peculiarities that nobody else knew. Why her azure hair was mussed. It was the long run on Karoo to see her crewmates off with a smile as she vowed to one day join them again. She remembered vividly why her smile wasn’t quite as bright as it could be. Why her eyes looked so tired.

Vivi had regretted it almost the moment they sailed away. She was part of the Straw Hat Pirates, the tattoo on her arm a mark of that fact– but they were moving on without her while she’d stayed in one place. Playing princess for a nation she adored at the expense of that rush of freedom and excitement the sea brought with it.

Her father had almost immediately begun talking about marriage and suitors. The demands of the crown grew heavier. She found herself wishing she were still on that beautifully silly ship with her beautifully silly friends.

Friends who needed help more than ever if the papers were to be believed.

To her side, Karoo made a worried trill as she read the article.

“Don’t worry, Karoo.” she murmured softly/ “...they won’t recognize me. And even if they do, nobody’ll believe a princess is way out here in commoner’s clothes…”

Dubious, her stalwart supersonic duck huffed and started sipping at his water barrel in reply.

“Worrywort,” she sniffed with a shake of her head as she turned the page past a story about pirate emperor Red Haired Shanks causing some kind of trouble in the new world.

Vivi hadn't been kidnapped— it was an escape. She fled the palace in the night with Karoo by her side and a vague note to her father.

It was all so she could find them again.

-

The Low Tide Brokerage on Espree Island was the emergency meeting point for Baroque Works agents. When the papers had reported on Crocodile's escape from Impel Down and the disaster at Marineford, all the remaining agents had known that, if the boss was planning to salvage the organization, that was the place to be.

Marianne hadn’t wasted a single moment since the reports of his escape. She’d practically fallen out of her chair at the rebuilt Spiders Cafe in her excitement to show Zala the good news, and it wasn’t long before they’d chartered themselves a ship to rush to Espree as fast as the sails could carry them.

The former Miss Goldenweek had tried, back when the organization first fell apart, to save as many former members as she could– only to be refused by Mr. Zero and Mr. 1. His spark, the colors of his ambition, had dulled with defeat but the thrill that maybe it’d come back from the depths of Impel Down was an excitement Marianne couldn’t pass up, even if she rarely showed it on her face.

She adjusted her wide brimmed hat as she approached the familiar Brokerage shop with her pack on her back. If he really was going to be there– if he really was going to return Baroque Works to something like its former glory– she had to be a part of it.

“I wonder if Mr. 3’s gonna be there,” she murmured as she popped a rice cracker in her mouth. 

The Brokerage was a low but handsomely appointed little building in one of the main shopping plazas of the summer island's city. There was an awning shade over the door, and a discrete mark carved into the lintel just below it-– almost unnoticeable in the shade-– but there if you were looking for it.

She looked up at it for a moment, rice cracker in her mouth as she stared almost right through it. For most, it was the doorway to an information broker like any other, but for her…it was a doorway back into a dream.

Briefly, she entertained the thought to place a color trap on the door to dissuade interruptions-– and cause a little trouble-– but she ultimately just pushed the door open and stepped inside. It’d have been annoying if Zala had gotten trapped in a cycle of apathy instead of some random citizen anyway. 

Inside was the familiar comfortable shopfront, with its plush waiting couches, and the smell of tea and incense filling the air. Behind the desk was a familiar man with a dark complexion, swept back hair, and a rather garish suit. He was a man by the name of Louis Don who had run the brokerage on the organization's behalf since before Marianne had joined.

He clapped his hands together and smiled broadly. "Oh! Welcome!"

“Morning.” Marianne said simply as she walked up to the desk. She was never a woman of many words, not when her art spoke so much for her. Still, she stood at the other end of the desk and stared the man down with expectation. 

He knew who she was– that was obvious. But there was the formality of the code phrase. As he poured a cup of tea he announced conversationally, "I saw a green albatross this morning."

Marianne sighed and pulled out her sketchpad. Quickly, with her sketch pencil and a bit of green paint she formed an image of a green albatross flying over a sinking ship. She held it up, the radiating calm of the green paint’s aura projected through her abilities.

“Bad Omen.” 

Louis chuckled as she completed the code phrase, and offered her the cup of tea. "Welcome back, Ms. Goldenweek. The others are downstairs."

She took the tea gratefully with a nod. 

“Miss Doublefinger is on her way," she warned. “She’s still prickly.” 

Louis chuckled and shook his head. "Well, I'll keep that in mind. How was your trip here? Quiet, or eventful?"

“We had a brief run in with some no-name pirates.” Marianne sipped her tea. “Sunk.” 

"Uneventful, then. You're the first to arrive, you know. Aside from Mr. 1. And the boss. Funny to have that revealed after all this time. Who would have thought?"

“Not me. I thought Mr. Zero would have been someone taller.”

Despite the dryness of her tone as she sipped her tea, she couldn’t help but joke a little. After all, the fact that Sir Crocodile was their boss all along was a shock to everyone except Miss All Sunday— who turned out to be quite the big shot herself.

The Devil Child. 

This seemed to throw Louis for a moment, then he chuckled as he realized the joke, shaking his head. 

"Taller. Good one, Ms. Goldenweek."

She gave him a thumbs up. 

“Thanks Louis. I’d better not keep the boss waiting though. Tell me if Mr. 3 shows up.”

She curtsied to him before grabbing her tea again and heading towards the door. “You can keep the painting. As a friend.” 

Pleasantly– and calmly– Louis waved and thanked her as she headed downstairs.

The basement of the Brokerage was a quite normal looking one, being full of old crates, barrels of wine, and some cold larder items. But at the back of it there was a door hidden by a shelf that was quite easy to move aside, even for someone as small as Marianne.

And behind that door was the Baroque Works meeting room.

She dusted off her hands, and opened the door without hesitation. She was excited— very excited even.

Her time with Zala and the others at the cafe, biding their time and committing minor crimes here and there in service to their band of ruffians, was fun, but there was something about Baroque Works that brought out a lot in each of them. 

The door shifted open and admitted her to the meeting room– a comfortably appointed room like the VIP room of a club, with a pool table, bar, and meeting area with couches and chairs.

The two figures in the room were arranged at the pool table, and both looked up when the door opened. Both were familiar, though one of them more so than the other. Daz Bones, aka Mr. 1, a tall, rakish looking young man, broad shouldered with handsome, finely cut statuesque features and close cropped pale hair that contrasted with his tanned skin. She'd worked with him frequently, though indirectly, and he nodded as she entered, a smile curving his lips.

The other was Sir Crocodile-– aka Mr. Zero-– the formerly elusive leader of Baroque Works whose public identity as a famous warlord of the sea she had only learned on the very day that everything had gone to hell. He was wearing one of his signature suits, and the smoke of the cigar in his mouth curled around his head.

He stood from where he'd been leaning over the pool table and grinned broadly at her. "Well, well, look who we've got here."

Marianne saluted with the hand that held her tea. “Miss Goldenweek, reporting in. You look good for a prison escapee, sir.” 

He chuckled, and set down his pool cue, putting his cigar in an ashtray on the rim of the table. "Kind of you to say, Miss Goldenweek. I feel pretty good for a prison escapee too, admittedly."

Daz, meanwhile, headed over to the bar quietly, and started mixing drinks.

Marianne finished off her tea and placed the cup on the bar before she turned to the boss once more with an adjustment of her hat.

“What got you all fired up? Last time I saw you, you asked me to leave you in prison.” She paused for a long moment before she said “if you don’t mind me saying, sir.” 

"No, it's a fair question." He leaned against the table with his arms on the ridge of it, hook dangling. "I probably shoulda taken you up on your offer in hindsight, but the spark was gone. What fired me up? Hah… a chance at revenge, honestly."

“Revenge.” Marianne nodded once before she took off her pack and set it down. “The second best motivator, outside of snacks.” 

Crocodile actually chuckled at that. 

"You got a point there, Miss Goldenweek." He looked over at where Daz was pouring three cocktails, and back at Marianne, his brow furrowed. "Do you drink?"

“Huh?” Marianne blinked slowly. “Yeah. Of course I do. I even help Zala with the bar.” 

"Huh." Crocodile shrugged, but did seem perturbed.

Daz looked up as he handed Marianne her drink. "She's like 20, boss."

"... you're kidding." He stared at her, and repeated, "Huh."

Marianne took the drink and held it up with a nod. 

“Just petite.” She shrugged her shoulders as she took a sip of the drink. “Probably the malnutrition.” 

Crocodile snorted, and raised his drink after Daz handed it to him. "Cheers to that."

“Cheers.” Marianne leaned on the pool table. “Are you gonna put Baroque Works back together, boss?”

"Baroque Works is cooked," he said, shaking his head. "I've got some thoughts about a rise from the ashes, but it's hazy. We'll need a new name at minimum. And so far, you're the only agent who's shown up, so."

“Zala’s comin’ too. we just separated at the port so the law didn’t follow us. The others weren’t so sure about rejoining up just yet. So…” 

"And smarts like that's why you were a top agent, Miss Goldenweek." He nodded approvingly and smiled.. "So Miss Doublefinger's on her way, too. Not bad."

"I told you we just need to give it some time, boss," Daz said, leaning on the bar. "Everybody got scattered to the four winds. News takes time to travel, and so do people. I still think even Galdino might show up."

"He's busy with the clown," Crocodile mumbled.

“.....Galdino’s become a clown?” Marianne asked with a widening of her eyes. “Good for him.” 

"Yeah, good for him." Crocodile sounded much less than thrilled as he sipped his drink.

Marianne wasn’t thrilled herself. It was her fault Galdino had gotten himself captured in the first place, and now he’d gone off to join the circus. 

“I hope he comes back around. Wanted to say thanks.” She put the drink down on the edge of the pool table with a half smile. “...you’ll have to settle for just me until then, boss.” 

"Well, you're the first to show up, so you're the first in line for a promotion."

-

Vivi had spent a little time getting her bearings in the city as she left the port and headed into town. What she needed more than anything else was information. Information, which she knew, was traded in the underworld as a precious commodity.

She didn’t have much in the way of funds, but she had a few snippets of information that might catch the ear of the right sort of information vendor. Her bright eyes scanned the streets, past the meandering townsfolk and merchants as Karoo trotted beside her.

She had to find some sort of broker of information. Someone she could ask for a lead on her biggest step in her plan to reunite with Luffy and the Straw Hats.

Vivi needed a devil fruit. A strong one. Something that would give her the power to stand up to the government that killed her captain’s brother right before his eyes. 

After asking around in the marketplace, Vivi found herself directed to a squat building with a green awning and a sign reading "Low Tide Brokerage". While the shop itself didn't advertise what it brokered, she'd been assured that this was the right place to look for what she wanted.

Vivi took a deep breath before telling Karoo to stay outside. Incognito as she was, she’d adopted a former mode of dress– forgone was the telltale Alabasta style of her homeland in favor of something more like the outfit she’d once worn as ‘Miss Wednesday’ the agent of Baroque Works.

It was unique, yes, but very much unlike anything people would imagine the princess of Alabasta would ever wear. A spiral print corset top with a long blue coat over her shoulders and a pair of hip hugging pants and heeled boots didn’t exactly scream ‘desert princess’.

WIth her hair down in tight waves over her shoulders she was sure nobody would recognize her as she stepped into the office with a confident smile.

There was a tan skinned man with a wide smile and a fancy suit behind the counter, fixing a cup of tea.

"Welcome!" he greeted as she entered. "How can I help you?"

“Hello, sir!” She put her hand on her hip as she strolled right up. “I’m looking for a bit of information. I’m told you’re the guy to talk to!” 

He leaned on the desk and smiled. "I do have that reputation. Usually I even live up to it. What kind of information are you looking for?"

Vivi gently twisted a lock of her hair around her finger with a furrow of her brow. “....I’m trying to track down a devil fruit. Fruits, really. Any leads I can get on the location of one.” 

A door in the back of the shop that Vivi hadn't been paying attention to opened with a creak, and a large figure emerged.

"Now why would the princess of Alabasta be looking for a devil fruit?"

Her breath caught in her throat so sharply she almost choked, her fist balling against her chest as she took a step back and looked up at the figure with panic in her eyes. A cold prickle of terror crawled down her spine as she shook her head.

“No! No I…I …I…” 

The figure who had spoken– the figure who had come out of the door-– was terrifyingly familiar. Sir Crocodile. Mr. Zero. The man who was at the heart of every way that her life had changed.

He stepped toward her as the man behind the counter stepped away.

Vivi felt her world narrow down into a view of the man, his looming visage shaking as her body did the same. She took a step back as her hand slowly moved down towards the pocket she kept her peacock slashers in, biting her lip nervously.

“How are you here? I heard you e-escaped but you can’t possibly be here, Crocodile!” 

Crocodile chuckled, seeming unconcerned. He loomed over her, somehow suddenly quite close. "It's my brokerage, princess. What a funny coincidence."

His brokerage. Of all the shops she’d walked into in the entire Grand Line, she’d walked into one belonging to the man who had attempted to throw her home into chaos and destruction. A man who’d dropped her off the palace without a second thought…

The man Luffy and his friends, her crew, had given their all to stop for her.

She swallowed thickly, looking up at him with a narrowing of her eyes and a cross of her arms.

“Hilarious.” she managed to say. “if I’d known I might have gone to the next island over, or at the very least not walked into here. A-and don’t call me a princess!” 

His dark eyebrows arched and he looked down at her with something like amused curiosity as smoke from his cigar obscured his face. 

"Why shouldn't I? After all, you successfully defended your claim on your kingdom."

Vivi’s fingers curled against the top of her corset as her lips formed a nervous but firm line.

“My father’s claim. Not mine.” She tilted her head up defiantly. “So kindly stop announcing to the world that I’m The Princess of Alabasta, because...I’m a pirate, Sir Crocodile.” she practically shouted it.

It gave her a sting of pride. She was a pirate, she wasn’t supposed to be out there. They’d be hunting for her to bring her home the moment the marines got word. But it was the truth…under all her royal robes, in every ounce of her being…she was a pirate through and through.

“I’d rather you didn’t bring the marines down on me w-with your loose tongue!” 

Crocodile's mouth opened, and he looked like he was about to respond, when suddenly his posture changed, stiffened, and his amused expression disappeared.

"Then get behind me." With a sudden movement like a striking snake he grabbed her wrist and pulled her, whirling around and stepping in front of her. As Vivi's head spun from the sudden change and the grab– she realized she'd heard the door open.

"Ah, navy men!" the man behind the counter announced. "Welcome!"

Vivi’s eyes went wide— her body was hidden effectively by the long and heavy coat Crocodile always had worn even in the desert heat. She pressed behind him, carefully making sure not an inch of her body showed as she dared not to even breathe.

She could only hope Karoo had the sense to run when the navy had come sniffing.

"Yeah yeah," she heard a voice say. "We're here for some info, old man."

"You could stand to be more polite, lieutenant," Crocodile warned.

"Yeah? What's it to you?"

"Uh? Trav? Is that?"

Vivi’s fingers grabbed the back of Crocodile’s coat as her other hand finally hooked through the ring of her spinning blade tucked away in her pocket. She didn’t want to have to fight and blow her cover so soon, but…

She was too early in her mission to stop now. 

Crocodile sighed. "I guess it's too late for the two of you to walk out of here."

"What? No, I–"

Vivi saw Crocodile's shoulders twitch, there was a sudden hiss of sand– and then screaming which was swiftly smothered.

She winced, hissing softly between her teeth as she held the peacock slasher by her side in a tense and ready stance.

She likely didn’t need it…without a doubt Crocodile had taken the two navy men out of commission already. 

There was a soft thump, and Crocodile sighed, dusting his hand off on his pants. "Louis, can you have those two cleaned up, please? If you need Daz, I'll send him up."

"No need, boss."

Crocodile turned to her, and his smile slowly reappeared. "Sorry for the interruption."

He didn't call her princess.

Vivi felt her dark cheeks flush as she bobbed her head in a thankful bow. 

“It's fine! Sorry about the Navy, I ah..” She rubbed the back of her neck. The death of the navy men didn't perturb her as much as maye it should have. After all, she was a pirate— and they would have taken her back home. “Thanks for hiding me. That could have gotten much worse.” 

"You're welcome," he said, puffing on his cigarette. "It could have. So. I shouldn't call you princess. What should I call you? Not Miss Wednesday, I presume. It doesn't sound like you came to get your job back."

“Just Vivi’s okay for now,” She laughed nervously as she looked up at him. “I’m still working on what my ephilet’ll be. As for ‘Miss Wednesday’, I wasn’t aware there was even a job to go back to, much less one you’d accept me in.” 

"It's a work in progress," he said, lifting his chin with amusement. "But it sounds like we shouldn't speak openly of either of our business. If you want information– come downstairs with me. Otherwise, you're free to walk out that door, and I'll pretend I never saw you."

The way his dark eyes sparkled said something– like they were almost daring her.

For a moment she was torn. He was the man who tore her life to shreds after all…and not all that long ago, either.

But he had information…and he absolutely had connections. And he’d already blocked the Navy from her path, despite it not benefiting him in the least.

She pocketed her slasher and huffed. “Lead the way, Sir Crocodile.” 

As the man behind the counter came around to clean up the two desiccated bodies on the floor, Vivi followed the enemy of her people through the door in the back, and down into a dimly lit basement.

With one last look at the desiccated navy men, Vivi entered into the dim, unknown darkness of the former Warlord’s den.

Celebrating Canada 150: Fireworks Safety Tips for Cats and Dogs

The festivities of the Fête national du Québec and of the upcoming Canada Day are a time of celebration for us, but that doesn’t always mean that our dogs and cats see them the same way. To our four-legged companions, who experience the world around them through their immediate senses, the battery of sudden flashes of light and booming noises can be very alarming. It’s entirely natural for them to become anxious or afraid. Some may be fine with the noise, but most will react by trying to find a place to hide or even by trying to escape to where they think the noise won’t reach them.

We can’t explain to our dogs and cats why these things are happening or why they shouldn’t be afraid, but we can anticipate their behaviour and make preparations for the nights when fireworks will be going off. Here are some tips we hope you find helpful for having a safe and fun experience this Canada Day!

Leave your dogs (and cats!) at home

If you are planning on joining in on the outdoor festivities, leave your pets at home. Even a well-seasoned city adventurer can become frightened by the sudden and explosive commotion. Best save them (and yourself) the stress, and tuck them in for an early night at home.

If you normally leave your pets outdoors, bring them inside. There’s no telling what they may get up to without your supervision and while in a state of fear.

Exercise them beforehand

A mentally and physically tired dog or cat will have less energy to spend worrying about fireworks if they are too busy catching up on sleep. Take them for a long walk or tucker them out with an active play session before the fireworks and celebrations begin.

Prepare a secure and safe spot for them to hide

Many dogs and cats, when confronted with loud noises, will look for a place to hide. Prepare a place for them to seek shelter that is familiar, comfortable, and that they find safe. This can be their crate, the floor under the coffee table, or even a pile of laundry in the back of the closet. Leave a bowl of water nearby and don’t worry if your pet chooses a spot other than where you had in mind.

Leave noise on in the background

Having a movie, the radio, or even the television on in the background will help provide ambient noise and mask the sound of fireworks. If your furry companion happens to find a certain kind of music relaxing, leave it on to help calm their nerves.

Keep them distracted

Keeping your dogs and cats busy will give them the opportunity to focus on something other than the commotion outside. This is a good time to break out their favourite bone or chew, a new and exciting toy, or give them something that will keep them occupied. A Kong stuffed with treats or an Aron Original Beef Chew (pictured below) will do the trick.

If your dog or cat is calm enough, this would also be a great time to spruce up on some basic commands, focusing less on perfection and more on their continued engagement. Practice their sits and downs, and keep their mind active and focused on you.

Give calming signals

Dogs, more so than cats (let’s be honest!), will often look to their humans for guidance on how to confront an unfamiliar situation, but both will respond to what you are communicating to them and how. Comforting and rewarding them for calm behaviour, continuing along with your night as though it is like any other, and offering calming signals will help them understand that there is nothing to be afraid of. 

Help your dogs and cats relax

If you expect your dog or cat to become anxious, give them something to calm down. Using dog- and cat-friendly de-stressing balms or giving calming treats can help alleviate some of the stress they may be feeling. Our current favourite treats that we love using are the True Hemp Chews: Calming Support for Dogs. With a combination of hemp seed, chamomile, and lemon balm extract, these treats utilize natural ingredients to help reduce your dog’s stress levels.

Have a safe and happy Canada 150!

Betelgeuse, Cygnus, and comet?

Betelgeuse: What’s something you can never forget about?

I'll never forget how I met my best friend in middle school. It was the first day of seventh grade and I was sitting at lunch. My friend Jaiden walks over with another girl in tow. Jaiden and the girl, named Espree, both had lunch trays and they were serving fried chicken that day. Express takes a bit from her chicken, gently sets it down, throws her head back and shouts "THIS CHICKEN IS LESBIAN!" I laughed loudly, but didn't quite understand until she explained she was a lesbian and could "sense the gay in the school chicken". I kinda miss hanging out with her tbh.

Cygnus: Favourite weather?

After it's just rained. Y'know, when the sky is still kinda grey and dark but you can see the sun rays peeking through the clouds and the earth smells like freshly fallen rain and you're sure there's gonna be a rainbow after this storm.

Comet: What’s your big dream? 

To be able to help as many people as I can. I know it sounds cheesy and stereotypical, but the truth.

Space asks!

Anabel's Espeon- Individual Redesign

[What if every individual pokemon had its own unique design?]

Its easy to tell the difference between competitively-reared and 'housepet'-reared eeveelutions; namely, that wild eeveelutions tend to stand at 0.8-1.1m tall when fully grown. This scale feels innately wrong to most people, as they're more likely to have seen 'Toy Eevees'- which usually get no bigger than ~0.5-0.7m tall.

These 'Toy Eevees' are extremely popular, due to the fact that they're both friendly and incredibly weak, making them perfect pets for households with children.

Many of these eevees tend to struggle with their new movesets after evolution; preferring to stick with their Eevee moveset moves.

Espree is a purebred Toy Eevee; which means that she's able to access Extreme Evoboost, but also means that even moves like Light Screen generally require too much psychic energy for her to utilise properly. She's also incapable of utilising more than four moves, despite her competitive training alongside the rest of Anabel's team.

Still, Espree is a survivor. She's been on Anabel's team for a long time, having grown up with Anabel up in the mountains, as two 'wild', abandoned kids. You can see that in her coat- thick, and pale, to deal with the snowy climate of the mountains.

She survived that, and she'll survive being the weakest mon on every battlefield. She's found her niche with her Normalium Z, and she's just excited to help out.

We're going to add one more option for most of the cars Rolls-Royce and Bentley and Mercedes already have it no we're going to add it to them too that you can get the base model with better armor in other words you have the regular motor that only goes around 450 but with the armor and it'll slow the car to about 400 and a lot of people like that more like it women like it they don't want to go a million miles an hour that's what they're doing making cars a little slower and 400 is fast but it's not as fast as you think these cars handle extremely well they break very well you can see out them they have sensors and you'll be fine you know at 250 you're fine I want to go 300 quite often and it's a decent speed to have 100 mph extra it means you're not pushing the motor to its Max and a lot of people like it so they're going to buy tons of them they said and we're getting them ready now and that was one problem that's why la Ferrari came out again. Another thing we're putting back into the lineup that they took out and the luxury cars don't have are the smaller cars and there is a decent lineup of them but they're not in production and Porsche has a smaller one that's the boxster and we're putting that back BMW has a smaller a series and we're putting it back in lotus has a small one and she's smiling and we're putting it back in and it's the espree and our son liked it because he doesn't want to go 300 mph back then and Ferrari and Lamborghini are going to put them in to production and they have them back then and they will make them again and they are smaller and they do have a coop too it is nice aside from their supercars that they're going to put into production and an SUV it's going on now and all the cars they were making are going to do it and our son's hypercar already has that in the lineup although it's extremely fast and there isn't one for the regular guy so he's going to make a coop with a standard motor and you can upgrade it it'll handle up to about 600 mph quite easily or 900 really but the standard model will go about 400 or 450 and it's a coupe and it looks like the Ferrari coupe a little bit or the Austin Martin and both of those are making smaller ones now this would be the smaller one for his company he doesn't want to make a teeny one no he has the TV when it's too fast so he's going to offer a regular motor for that it'll go 450 so people start buying them they say

Thor Freya

Ferrari and Bugatti he's actually in trouble and he's been small too long and stunted too long it's going to take a while to do for him to get bigger it's actually going backwards
