#and wimpod... my beloved

[oneluckydragon]

So I decided to spin the wheel by @onefey since I saw so many mutuals getting really cute PMD Teams.

Meet hero Lucky (Girafarig) and partner Biggs (Wimpod). Never in my life have I considered a Girafarig as my potential PMD-sona but here we are despite it all. Even though I was skeptical at first I am now in permanent love.

Gotta think of an Exploration Team name now... hm.

[cbdinodoodlez]

WHAT IF LUKE HAD POKEMON [i also made teams for others like the Professor, Randall, Emmy, etc! I hope i can show those teams eventually lol]

His starter is an oshawott and the first pokemon he encountered and caught is a shiny dreepy but he doesn't know it's a shiny and LITERALLY A PSEUDO LEGENDARY [bc it'd be funny!]

He met and helped a wimpod and it eventually joined the team. It's pokedex entries says it sometimes will pick up coins which i think would be helpful for finding hint coins mdfvkdfmv

both the Professor and Emmy have dog pokemon and Luke wanted to have a dog pokemon too! He eventually meets a growlithe who is the most uncooperative fella for the longest time vdfmkmkl

That's his team so far >:] the other pokemon i may introduce eventually but they are met way later on...like sometime around new world of steam

[coeuranxieux]

also for general note. im trying for the most part to decide where everyone's livinf (they live in galar cause i'm biased sorry to make them all british......)

as ive said earlier andrew lives in hammerlocke! throughout the game he kind of. lives in the dungeons beneath hammerlocke (for those who havent played swsh its not a bad arrangement! very spacious very safe do not fret) but once he actually like. gets a job and stuff he moves into one of the houses :] (it's never explicitly said that he resides in the chambers but it's very heavily implied, basically confirmed by some of the dialogue he has in the house he's in post game but never outright said)

luca i think lives in motostoke, but i think he'd be from wyndon. mainly because wyndon is the big fancy capital, but motostoke is a smaller city and is water powered! theres gears everywhere! the general vibe of motostoke feels like luca. i think he'd like the train station as well :]

norton is a spikemuth local!! imagining him doing a handful of odd jobs to help out piers and stuff seems like something he'd do. plus despite it being a sort of rundown town in disrepair it still has a lot of life and i think thats very fitting for norton! its also "conveniently" near the second galar mine (which is where wimpods are found btw.... to reference another post i made)

frederick i think would reside in a smaller town. probably hulbury (in reference to oceanis) and he strikes me as someone who'd like seafood. plus, there's a very nice view of the ocean! grace also lives here, its a fishing town so i think she'd be in her element perhaps.

ithaqua is definitely a ballonlea resident, though he could also be from circhester since that's a very cold snowy area. it's just past the cursed and spooky and ominous glimwood tangle (my beloved) and i think he could probably spook a few people there as like, a local rumor mayhaps (not sure what i wanna do w him yet tho...)

orpheus definitely still lives in wyndon, since its the big fancy capital of everything. not much to say about him.......

demi to me seems like she'd have moved to one of the bigger cities, maybe from milo's town (i forget what its called currently, but its a small farmers village). i think she'd work in a battle cafe (parallels to her canon job) and i kind of wanna put her in hammerlocke as well for the coworker norton potential..... after reading her story i think they'd be friends (ooh thinking about it this way i think she'd work with dragon types well too. maybe her ace is an appletun......)

i think emil could also be a ballonlea resident! it definitely fits the dreamy spacy vibe he has, and i think he'd also be either a fairy type or a psychic type specialist :]

without a doubt. victor is from/lives in postwick. it's a small small regular town. come on, even the name fits him!!! postwick??? postman with a dog named wick???? thats him. his town. postwick was made for him send tweet

i'm unsure where to put aesop,,, very unsure,,,,,, i'll have to let him steep for now.....

TW for irl wimpod/golisopod BUT OHHHHH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE AMINAL GIANT ISOPOD MY BELOVED

[random-village-hick]

Growing up I always thought I would be a dark or even fire type Trainer with like a Houndoom as a signature Pokémon.

But now I know in my heart of hearts I am a big catcher with nothing but my beloved Wimpod.

[nova-starstruck]

Wimpod/Golisopod my beloved

I genuinely think it is a rite of passage for a Pokemon fan to champion a Pokemon that is unpopular, uncool, or 'weak'.

For some, it comes quickly. A child sees Gulpin and thinks it's the funniest thing ever. For some, it's trying something new. The competitive battler who just starts messing around, picks up a Pachirisu, and leads it to victory against impossible stakes. For some, it's an accident. The Nuzlocker who got way too attached to an early game friend who refused to die, and grieved for their friend and comrade when their time came. For some, it's defiance. The person who kinda likes Raichu and will defend it from the slings and arrows of all others. For some, it's just comfortably growing up and realising you don't have to justify liking something, just that it makes you happy.

It's easy to be drawn to the crowd favourites. And why not? They can be powerful fighters, cute merch, fanart-bait, they have a je ne sais quoi that draws the eye. And that's still fine! I'm not going to tell anyone they're a bad person for liking Charizard, or Mewtwo, or Gengar, or Pikachu. They're popular for a reason. But there is a kind of zen, a state of enlightenment of sorts, in finding a funky little guy who isn't very good and isn't very popular but makes you smile, and you go out of your way to find them and raise them and maybe even never evolve them, despite them being a damp squib in actual battles.

One of my favourite Pokemon ever is Swinub. Swinub is not a strong Pokemon. In fact, statistically, it's one of the weakest. Swinub has 5 weaknesses, including all 3 starter types. It doesn't learn many coverage moves, and it's abilities are not very exciting either. But I love this little piglet. It's round and soft! It digs up hot springs with its nose! You never see its eyes! I just think it's neat.

It's an important thing, I think, to find a Pokemon you like just for you. Not because it makes you better than 'the normies', but because it makes you appreciate the Pokemon you do meet, not for their battling prowess, but for how much you just want to be around them. When I see @good-pokemon-center-reviews frankly doing the lord's work in sharing people who are just so happy to have their little guys, I see starry-eyed children relishing in the wonder the Pokemon world is meant to bring. Genuine, earnest joy at a plushy Croagunk will always be more real to me that any Smogon tier chart. That guy gets it. The guy being a dick on Pokemon showdown with a team of 5 Zacians and a Mega Rayquaza for spice does not.

Writing it down so I don’t forget; November’s pokemon are all nicknamed

Golisopod and Wimpod my beloveds <33

Shoutout to them fr

[novusscarlet]

Old-ISH art? I think it holds up.

This is my DARLING DAUGHTER and her name is SABINE SAXTON she is an ANTHRO SHINY WIMPOD and she is PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. THE BELOVED SCRUNGLY. She was made for an Anthro PMD group that was accepting new applicants at the time. I STILL love her design to this day, she’s fantastic... I even made a whole set of emotes based on PMD emotion sprites for her, that’s how enthusiastic I was.

Fun fact: This character is the reason my girlfriend and I got together in a VERY roundabout way.

[husbandomail-archive]

Oh my god, I love your Guzma writing!! 😭♥️ Could you do headcanons for him with a trainer who also adores bug-type Pokemon?

well I'm glad to hear that bc I adore Guzma actually and I love writing for him fghmjhgfd. I hope these are okay!!

The big bad Guzma was never popular— and only partially because of his attitude. Even before he befriended his precious Wimpod, his interests leaned towards the creepy-crawly. He was constantly coming home with Spinarak clinging to the back of his clothes, and faint dustings of Butterfree scales in his hair. Add that to the long list of scoldings.

So many people are scared of bug-types, or think they’re gross little things that shouldn’t be trained. His mother would screech whenever even a Caterpie made its way indoors; Pineco were considered a local menace, eating Berry farms until nothing grew; Dewpider and Araquanid dripped lakewater everywhere, often tainted with tufts of fur and other unmentionables. And that’s exactly why Guzma was so drawn to them— like all other Pokémon, they were doing their best to live their own lives, an unknowing piece of something much bigger. And yet, despite that, they were hated. Feared. Cast aside. An awful lot like a sad little boy he knew too well.

By the time he’s an adult, obviously Guzma has embraced his love for the unloved, reaching beyond bug-types and extending to other unwanted children. That doesn’t mean his mindset has completely evolved, though— people continue reacting badly to his bugs, and he can’t tell if it’s because he or Golisopod is the scary one. He’s gotten used to rolling his eyes and stomping his feet whenever someone complains about Surskit’s oily little footprints, or Spinarak’s sticky webbing— so when your first reaction is to coo at his little babies and reach to pet one, he’s stunned. He has to actually stop his rant about “they’re not gross!” to take in what you just said.

When you reveal your own team to him— with a notable amount of his beloved bugs— Guzma is thrilled; he has to catch himself from shouting in excitement, because he does have an image to keep up. To him, your willingness to work so closely with so many loathed pokemon speaks volumes— if you’re willing to accept them, maybe you’ll get along with him as well. Granted, he feels all of this more than he thinks it; Guzma has never been the type to point at others and call them friends, and he’s sure not starting now. You will notice, though, that he’s quick to throw his arm around you— this close up, he’s definitely as intimidating as his Pokémon— and drag you to the nearest cafe for a mug of tapu cocoa. He wants to talk, and you’re gonna listen.

He wants to know everything about you. Where are you from? What kinda bugs did you see growing up? Why’d you choose these specific ones for your team— hey, Grubbin, get out of his salad— and are there any others you’ve raised? When Guzma really gets going, he has trouble stopping; at some point, in the middle of a sentence, he slams his mouth shut and forces a harsh glare onto his face. He’s absolutely said too much— why can’t the big bad Guzma just stay quiet?

But you answer his questions freely. You ask some of your own. You’ve got treats for your Pokémon that you’re more than willing to share with his. Golisopod eats right out of your hand, Surskit nestles onto your shoulder, Grubbin tries to climb into your pockets. Now that he’s past his initial adrenaline rush, Guzma is definitely more guarded, but he’s also not uncomfortable either. You can easily work him open to talking again.

You probably hadn’t expected to make a friend that day, and even though Guzma’s too shy to say it directly, you are one now. You know he’s serious about keeping you in his life when he presents you with an egg he was very careful about obtaining— the day it hatches into a Larvesta for you, he’s just as giddy as you are about the new life. That way, you’ve got something precious that will always remind you of him— the unloved boy who built his own family.

Opposite Attract| Guzma Love Story

II| Meeting Him

    She presented the Firium Z to the female trial worker allowing her access to the gates. Bethany walked inside Dividing Peak Tunnel, and when she neared the exit she encounters the odd-looking people from Seaward Cave, Phyco, and Soliera. The things they were discussing with her were all too confusing, except the part about the Z-crystals and learning all of the Z-moves, then they left. Her head was literally spinning after that and even Popplio was confused.

Bethany kept on walking exiting the tunnel and onto Route 8. Just as she was passing by an Aether Foundation trailer she abruptly stopped. Phyco and Soliera were there talking to a man with a long white lab coat and a familiar hairstyle. She has seen this hairstyle before but where?

There was a constant beeping sound coming from the man. Could he be typing something? Phyco and Soliera bid their farewells to the man and left. Right as they left the man turned around to face her and she instantly recognized him.

"You there!"

Bethany jumped from his voice which snapped her back to reality. He now stood in front of her, his left hand typing away at a screen on his right arm. The blond hair, a blue cowlick around his head, yellow eyes and glasses. This was none other than Colress.

Colress introduced himself and started discussing his research: "Bringing out the potential of Pokémon." Believing that the bond Pokémon share with their Trainers is what brings out their full potential. A smile graced her lips. Even after all these years, he hasn't changed one bit.

"And thus my attention is drawn to trainers like yourself..." he gestured his hand at her to where she held her beloved Popplio. "Trainers bound to their Pokémon through the power of the Z-Power ring!"

He hummed, placing his hand on his chin. "Now that I think of it, I never asked your name."

Bethany tilted her head to the side. "After all this time you still don't remember my name, do you?" she smiled, and then cooed out a nickname. "Cold-ress?"

His eyes grew as if his brain finally piecing together the missing pieces of the puzzle. "Can it be...? Bethany?!"

Relief washed over her. "For a second there I thought you forgot about me."

A large grin formed on his lips and laughed half-heartedly. "I can't believe it. Look at you, you've matured over the years!"

"You think? I feel like I haven't aged at all!" They exchanged a good laugh. "You haven't changed yourself - - well, except for the minor upgrades on your wardrobe." She observes him closely. "And you look a bit chubbier too."

Colress blinked in shock, he wasn't expecting this statement from her. "Wha- I have?"

Bethany was soon in a fit of uncontrollable giggles, much to his confusion. "I was only joking!"

She received a poker face from him. "You may have matured physically but your mind is still that of a child."

"Aww, you're so mean!" she acted all hurt by his comment.

His gaze softened, a smile soon forming. "It's good to see you again. After all, you were the one who changed me." A blush tinted her pale cheeks.

He chuckles. "Here, you should have this."

Colress handed over a red disk; it was a TM for the move Flame Charge. She stared at the disk then back to him, unsure of what to say. Eventually, she took it from his grasp, thanking him in return.

"No need to thank me. Considerate it as a gift from me." He held up his hand then waved it slightly. "You will need it to battle the totem Pokémon on the next trail... Lush Jungle, correct?"

"How did you-u...?" He pointed down at her island trial amulet that was hanging on her left belt loop from her faded black, frayed denim shorts.

"Oh..." she mentally facepalms herself. How could she forget?

"I should be on my way. I've kept you long enough." He announced and instantly changed the subject. He's quick. "Apparently, there is an uninhabited island for Pokémon called Poké Pelago here in Alola."

'Poké Pe-what-now?' she felt lost for a moment until it finally clicked. Remembering a man named Mohn mentioning her about Poké Pelago back when she was on Route 7.

"Alola is fascinating! I believe that I will stay in Alola for some time!" He exclaimed.

Bethany couldn't have been more joyful after hearing him say that. Alola sure is fascinating and who knows? Maybe will run into each other like in the past.

"Well then, Bethany. I hope you will excuse me. I've had quite the curious request made to me by a couple of oddly dressed strangers."

He offered his hand to her, she accepted, thinking it was just a regular handshake. Instead, Colress bows, kissing her hand. It only lasted for less than a second but it felt like forever before he took his leave. Bethany couldn't get her head straight after that and was a blushing mess.

******

Popplio barked cheerfully as they exited the Pokémon Center. Battling trainers along the way can be very unfortunate but at least she gets money as an award for her teams' effort. She crouched down to Popplio's eye level and handed her a blue patterned Poké bean. Popplio munched down on the bean in delight.

Mallow's trail was not too far ahead and there was a sign on the left that clearly said Lush Jungle on it, so it has to be here. Just the thought of doing the trial got her excited and she couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. She looked down at Popplio who in turn stared right back.

"Think you're up to the challenge?" Popplio nodded with a determined look on her face.

"Onwards!"

She only took a couple of steps forward when suddenly she heard a commotion off to the side. It sounded close too.

Bethany turned her head to the right: it was two Team Skull grunts cornering an oddly colored silverfish Pokémon. Just seeing the Pokémon being frightened out of its mind made her blood boil, this was unacceptable. In her anger, she marches down towards them and began to snap at them in her own foreign language.

" ねえ！貧しいポケモンだけを残す！/ Nē! Mazushī pokemon dake o nokosu! / Hey! Leave the poor Pokémon alone!"

The two male grunts stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her. Then they exchanged a look of confusion.

"Yo, what'd she say, homie?" Grunt A asked.

"How should I know?! I don't speak Hebrew..." Grunt B trails off while making odd and awkward motions to his partner.

Bethany huffed, walking past them while ignoring their empty threats. The odd colored Wimpod managed to run off from the Grunts and was now cowering inside a hole on the side of the rock, shaking uncontrollably. Her frown deepened, the poor thing was so scared. It broke her heart into a trillion pieces.

"Yo girl! We're talkin' to you. Yer death or somethin'?!" Grunt B stepped forward trying to make himself more intimidating but would soon regret in doing so.

She turned around to face the Grunts and she had the scariest look on her face that it made them freeze right on the spot. "Baka! Do you have any idea how scared the Pokémon is? ... Well?!"

Both grunts let out a high-pitched shriek, like little girls, hugging each other for comfort. Never had they seen the girl like this, she was livid and it scared them witless. As the saying goes, 'Watch out for the quiet ones' they said, 'It'll be fine' they said.

Neither one of the male Grunts gave an answer. She returned her attention back to the Wimpod. It was still hiding in its hole. Her anger instantly disappeared. She outstretched both her hands and began to talk to the Wimpod in a soothing tone.

"Hey, it's okay. Those mean people won't hurt you anymore." She slowly crouched down, not breaking eye contact with the Pokémon. "Can you come out, please? There's no reason to be afraid."

Slowly but surely, the Wimpod cautiously peeked its head out of its hiding place. A closer look at the Pokémon she noticed right away at how different it looked than from its original counterpart. Its main body wasn't purple like what her Pokédex entry looked like and was replaced by red, and the white plating across its back was much lighter in color. The three plates on its back that overlap and each of its single black triangles were gray. The long spoke on each side of its head that curved backward we're red, along with its two short extensions which looked like eyelashes, two flat antennae, and its long, prickly tail. The only place that didn't change was its large yellow eyes.

Wimpods eyes stared up at her, uncertainty written on its face.

She smiled warmly. "It's okay. I won't let them hurt you, little guy."

Wimpos eyes widen, giving her a look of adoration, and in one swift movement, Wimpod was now in her arms. Bethany laughed softly, caressing its head gently.

Grunt A began to sniff loudly with a pool of tears streaming down his cheeks. "That's the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my life, yo!" he said. "It hit me right in the feels man."

However, the Grunt beside him was not having any of it. He had his arms folded on his chest with an impatient look in his eyes.

Grunt B let out an audible groan. "Enough with this, yo! We came here to get that Wimpod, not have a tea party with it!" he threw his arms in the air, obviously, he was annoyed by this whole situation.

"Chill out, bro!" Grunt A tried to calm down his friend but failed miserably.

"Chill out?! I didn't come all this way to come back empty handed, nuh-uh!"

The Grunt pulled out a Great ball, threw it in the air, revealing his Golbat. "I'm done waiting. Golbat, use Swift!"

Bethany managed to jump out of the way, but Golbats attack managed to hit her right leg. She cried out in pain as she landed on her side still clutching Wimpod in her arms. The Grunt chuckled, praising his Pokémon before approaching her. She tried to get up but ended up tumbling right down. Her right ankle had a deep cut on her skin, it was a bloody mess, she whimpered.

"You have somethin' we want, girl. Hand over that Wimpod." Grunt B demanded.

Bethany held the Wimpod closer to her body and refused to hand over Wimpod to him.

Out of nowhere, Popplio ran up to her and faces the Grunt, growling at him, a warning sign to stay away from its Trainer. The Grunt only laughed at the tiny seal. Bethany sat up, wincing at the pain in her ankle. Her eyes landed on Popplio who was standing in front of her protectively.

"Popplio..."

"I'll beat ya' senseless for this!" Grunt B declared, his Golbat preparing itself for his Trainers word.

Bethany turned her head away, pulling Wimpod close to her; it let out a small whimper. Popplio prepared to protect her Trainer, glaring at the Golbat. The Grunt didn't even get to finish his sentence when a low voice interrupted him, making him freeze on the spot.

"Hurtin' an injured girl, huh? That's just low."

Both Grunts turned around to face the man. Grunt A was relieved to see him, although Grunt B looked absolutely terrified and all the color from his face drained.

A tall man with tousled white hair and a black undercut. He had grey eyes, thick black eyebrows and on top of his head, he had a pair of sunglasses with a golden frame, with one of the frames being bent and a yellow Team Skull chain. He wore a black jacket with a zigzag pattern on both sides of his jackets; with a Team Skull logo on the back and underneath he wears a white shirt. He had black pants with two white X's under his knees, a pair of white shoes, purple tattoos of the Team Skull logo, a golden watch on his left wrist and on his right he had black and white bracelets.

His grey eyes glared down at Grunt B, who was secretly trembling in place, so was his Golbat.

"B-boss..." Grunt B murmured, gulping hard. The look his leader gave him is all too familiar, it was anger.

The man approached the Grunts, eyeing them both. "You guys are done for the day, ya got that?" both Grunts nodded quickly.

He grinned. "Good. Now... SCRAM!" he watched in amusement as they bolted out of the area until they were nowhere in sight.

Popplio nudged her Trainers side. Bethany lifted her head, staring down at a concern looking Popplio before her.

She smiled. "I'm fine, Popplio. It's just a- Ah!"

Bethany winced, gritting her teeth rather tightly as she stared down at the wound. Her ankle didn't look all too pleasant and she could feel her skin pulsating. Popplio comforted her by nuzzling its nose on her thigh gently.

The shiny Wimpod shifted in her arms, its eyes landing on to the man with white hair. Wimpod gave him a pleading look with tears threatening to fall. The man let out a deep sigh as he approached the girl, crouching down in front of her. He was never good with words, to begin with, it made him feel uncomfortable. Yet, something inside him told him to give it a shot.

"Hey, girl. You doin' ok?"

She raised her head and was now staring at the man. The first thing that crossed her mind was how intimidating he looked and was that... purple eyeshadow he wore? She squeezed Wimpod protectively, a single sweatdrop traveled down her cheek.

"Yeah... I'm okay..." she trails off.

Bethany couldn't help but be mesmerized by his facial features, his strong jawline, a hawk nose, especially his eyes which resembled that of a moonstone. Getting a closer look at him she realized how attractive he looked.

"You sure don' look like it," he said, glancing down at her bloody ankle. She chuckled softly, a blush tinting her cheeks. "I-I'm fine, really!" However, he didn't buy her lame excuse.

Without any warning, he swooped her up in his arms, bridal style, with the shiny Wimpod still in her arms. She yelped softly in surprise but said nothing as he began to walk away. Popplio followed right behind the man as he took her to a nearby Pokémon Center.

Many people inside gave the man cautious glances, that's when their eyes landed on Bethany. Their cautious looks turned to that of worry. Nurse Joy rushed over to them and told him to follow her down a hall where she would treat the girls' wounds.

Normally he would've left after dropping her off, but remained on the girls' side until he was sure that she was going to be all right. He was sitting on a chair, slouched forward with both arms on his knees, watching quietly as Nurse Joy attended to her wounds.

She was on an operating table watching as Nurse Joy disinfected the wound with her Blissey at her side. Wincing silently while Nurse Joy applied Vaseline on the wound then wrapped it neatly with a roller bandage. Wimpod snuggled close to her in her arms in a comforting way. A smile graced her lips and patted the silverfish gently.

Bethany asked Nurse Joy a favor to scan Wimpod for any injuries to which she happily agreed. Wimpod, however, was hesitant to be left alone. Bethany reassured the Pokémon that it will be over quickly. She told Wimpod that she will be right outside the hallway and watch through the glass window beside them. Wimpod nodded slowly, receiving a gentle pat on top of its head before she limped out of the room with the man.

The scan was pretty fast and thankfully Wimpod turned out to be just fine. Bethany thanked Nurse Joy and followed the man out the Pokémon Center. She couldn't help but notice the weird looks people were giving them, but she ignored them, not giving it much thought.

Bethany wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into the man. He turned around and glared down at her. "Watch it!"

She stumbled back and bowed her head. "I-I'm sorry! I should have been more careful..." she trails off, staring down at the ground. Her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

His anger quickly washed away and was replaced with guilt.

Wimpod approached her, tugging her shoe gently. She stares down at the Pokémon with a smile on her lips, and then, crouches down to its level. The moment she crouched, Wimpod threw itself on her. Bethany hugs Wimpod close receiving a happy 'chitter' from it.

"The little guy sure loves ya." He said, resting his hands on his hips.

Bethany hummed. "Yeah... I was planning on releasing it back but I'm afraid it won't leave my side!"

He chuckled. "You know... you should keep the little guy. I heard Wimpod gets stronger when it evolves."

Bethany stood up and tilted her head, a questionable smile rose on her lips. "Really? Then I may have to reconsider from my previous statement."

He simply nodded and began to walk away from her.

"W-wait! Please..." she calls out to him making him stop in his tracks.

"Th-thank you..." she stammered.

He looked over his shoulder and stared at her one more time before resuming his walk.

Bethany suddenly felt the Butterfrees' tingle down her stomach. Her thoughts were cut off by Popplio barking at her and pushing her towards Lush Jungle. As she walked towards the trial site there was only one thing running through her mind.

Who was that man?

Escape from Heaven, pt. 4

"About that day I don't remember a thing

Just a fallen kid and a tormented pokemon.

Someone from a high hill say they saw me

And that was all I need to be doomed here.

My skin became black and white

And my new name Dragronfly

In the corridor of life

Today I will lose mine

My new Boss stated that he didn't really like me

And it was out of pity he would let me stay in his team.

I came to Alola

Just to have a nice time

I came to Heaven

But it has been hell itself.

I refused to do any harm

To all the locals on this land

But my great mistake was trying to save again

A pokemon that was suffering too deep.

He got really mad at me

When my heroic act softened the main lady around, and she preferred me.

I came to Alola

To start brand anew

I thought it was Heaven

I can't believe how naive I can be.

I came to Alola

Just to have a new life

I was seeking for a new light

And today I won't even see dawn arise...

I won't see dawn arise...

I won't see dawn arise..."

That was an attempt of a song Alba sang to her pokemon. Wicke has been kind enough to make a special place for her beloved friends, including the shiny Wimpod she was trying to defend from that kid that, for her bad luck, tripped from a slope when he tried to chase her off with a rock and fell out the cliff he was teasing his Pokemon to be dropped at if she didn't brave up. All what Alba could do was pick up the Wimpod and cover her so she didn't have to see her trainer fall and... That was when Alba tried to call emergency service and such, and when police and everyone were there, some random passed by accused her for trying to steal the Wimpod and tossing the kid off. Out of fear, she ran off holding the Pokemon that was terrified of what was happening, and in her run, she dropped out the folder with her documents by the same cliff. Nobody noticed, probably those are now deep in the ocean.

Today is the sad day. Lusamine made herself with a star child, as the ancient books call Cosmog. They will provide enough energy to open a hole in ultra space. Alba has to leave behind her current team, so she was spending her last moments with them, and asking them to obey the Assistant Chief in everything she said.

Deep inside, Alba could feel her life would change that day. All she desires is to end the misery she has been out on. Is not like Guzma despised her entirely, whenever she was out grooming her pokemon, specially the bugs, he was around, but the menancing stares of the dragons she has ketp him away. Time to time he offered her an upgrade as admin if she let her Wimpod and his Golisopod breed, or just random things that made everything awkward between they both, that started to make him bitter at her, he was making of himself a fool around the only other person that was around his actual age, also she wasn't helping either since she was always keeping a low profile next to him because she was legitimately afraid of him, despite the small, little good words they crossed.

But she ruined the small thing they had when she broke up the deal of not taking anything from Aether. The cries of Ercan through his helmet were drilling her ears as Lusamine took them to explore the installations, uncanny from her, said Guzma who was a bit wary of the whole thing, and just like Alba, he could not stand the Type:Null cry, but did nothing to defy Lusamine, he was obedient to her, it was... Uncomfortable to say the least, felt like something else was between those two but who was her to judge? And even, to be jealous? Of Guzma getting that sort of attention? Or she not being the one giving him...

"Lady Alba. Here you have been..." Approached with steady steps Branch Chief Faba, scorted by a group of scientist and employees, carting the cage where the Cosmog was. "I know this is a situation of fear, but don't be, remember, you are helping up so we can clarify that unfortunate event that has stained your reputation so bad. We can't let the pride and joy child from the Dragon Den people be a mere murderer, right? Show us what the teachings under Lance's wing are like, prove to us why he chose you from all the kinds in that orphanage 20 years ago..." He said trying to boots Alba's mood as she said to her pokemon a last goodbye, as she was being scorted by her Silvally, who also wasn't sure if this was the right thing. He puffed his gold pelt and feathers as they entered the secret room of Lusamine.

Alba has been never more scared of death until that day. If what she was feeling, what her guts were telling her is truth... Today is the end.

"... I wish they weren't in such pain..." But even in that situation, she was unable to think about herself, she was worried about the Cosmog. She finished details on the special attire she was given to wear, about to set down the helmet on her head. Goodbye, forever...

Fucking FINALLY! I beat Kiawe's trial thanks to the sheer determination of my beloved dragon Pokemon (I'm the Daenerys Targaryen of the Pokemon world confirmed), now I'm off to Mallow's trial next. But before the trial I think I'll catch myself a Wimpod if I can :3

[poke-reads]

Bugless! Part 2

Alright lets do this!

*Warnings though, Guzma here is gonna go soft for a bit like crying soft. If you don’t like it that’s ok. This one is very long. That’s another warning. Nothing inappropriate*

“Be my fwem!” A small child said to a wimpod who was cornered. The wimpod looked for a way out but was soon picked up by him. “Imma call you wimpy! Lets be best fwems!” he gave him a poké bean his mom gave him. The wimpod sniffed the bean questionably and ate it. He chattered and chirped with glee! “Come on sweetie lets go home! We got to catch the ferry!” the little boy’s mom called to him and he happily ran over to her. “Look mama i got a frem! Uh, i uh mean, Friend!” the mother look down to his level and happily greeted his new pokemon. With a kiss on the forehead, the child and mom went home. That was more than 20 years ago…

Years later his mom got married again. If only it were for the better. “What is wrong with you Guzma!? Why cant you do things right?” a smacking and smashing sound could be heard. Years of abuse left him broken. He was left home alone door locked. “At least i have you Wimpy. I know im never alone when your with me. We’ll leave soon i promise.” In Guzma’s room,

“Come on buddy, ya can’t leave just yet!” Guzma whined as he tried to keep Golisopod from leaving. “We still got…um…lots of training to do yeah! But in here!” Obvious to see that his room/throne room was too small to train in. Golisopod chattered immensely while pushing the door with his strength. “*sigh* ya really wanna go, huh bud? How would ya get there? The place is on another island! And ya know, ya boi hates travel.” Guzma grumbled, he knew he would have to let Golisopod go but he just couldn’t. He didn’t want to be alone…

*While in Plum’s room*

“Aight we’re in, as long as Guzma could stop wrecking the mansion and stop being such a baby.” Plumeria spoke for her and Axel as she tended to his head injury. You were filled with many emotions: how will Guzma handle this? What will he say or do? Is he gonna punch our lights out or rampage like a Tauros? Only one way to find out. Baxter had sent you a text: Baxter Y0 we be outside! Ready to do dis?

While another text came in

Nanu Ok what did he do know and why am i involved?

You I’ll buy you lunch for a week. Delivered if this goes well.

Nanu …..deal

You all gathered at Guzma’s door. Anxiety filled your stomach but you managed to open the door.

“Guzma?” you peeked in the door, only to find a tall white haired boi laying a his bed facing the wall, holding his Golisopod close like he was a wimpod again.

“Go away…” you motioned everyone to come in. “G. Whats going on with ya? Your concerning the grunts. Is it about Golisopod?,” plumeria put her hand on his shoulder only to be shrugged off. “Who cares, whatever. Its none of ya business.”

Baxter and Axel budged in “Boss we’re worried! Yo, you’re scaring us. Man, we want you to perk up! Golisopod’s gotta do his thing ya know?”

“Yeah boss! Chin up!”

“Which one?” Guzma’s smart remark wasn’t helping. “Look guys…just buzz off.”

You shoved Nanu forward and gave him the ‘DO SOMETHING YOU OLD COP’ look. He heavily sighed and walked over.

“I heard your actions caused a minor to fall off the second floor of this hou-”

“OK NEVERMIND YOU HELPED ENOUGH. SAY GOODBYE TO LUNCH” you pushed Nanu to the side. ��*sigh* I’ll handle this.”

You approached Guzma. “Guzma, your summer is going to be bugless.”

Oh no.

He got up and looked at you…wide eyed and blinked twice…Tears overflowed from his eyes.

Here it comes. With a deep breath… *long gasp*

“AAAAAHHHH! *hic* *hic* AHHHHH!” he held his Golisopod tightly and nuzzled his head into its body. If you didn’t know any better you’d say a toddler took over the team. You think you lost hearing in your right ear and turned around to see everyone covering their ears. “Smooth move kid, now what!?” Nanu had to scream to talk to you. “He had to hear it. He’s gotta let it all out!” you screamed back. You had never seen Guzma cry nor crack under stress. This was a first. You found it to be surprising…ly cute.

“IDON'TWANT'EMTOGO! *sniffle* *hic* *hic* I DONT WANNA BE ALONE-WAAAAAHHH!” your heart broke hearing that. You had completely forgotten about their DEEP connection.

Nanu was once again dragged in. “Uh, ugh ok. There there, uh yeah. It’ll be ok. You’ll see him in a few months.”

“Months!? MONTHS!!?” Smooth move Nanu.

“WAAAAAHHHHAAAHHH!” He hugged Golisopod as if he was on his death bed, he didnt wanna let go. Good thing golisopod was used to his huge strengrh.

“What now!? Do something!” plumeria told you. “Im sure he ain’t got much let in there!” you responded.

You waited another 10 minutes

“Feel better?” you put your hand on Guzma’s shoulder

He sniffled twice before responding “mm-hmm…”

No he wasn’t. He darn right Bawled his eyes out again gripping at his pokemon.

Even though male golisopods were tough, they knew emotions and TLC was a must. He chattered and clicked at Guzma. Pulling him away while attempting to wipe away his tears with one of this claws. He made a sound of concern. And lifted guzma in his arms. Guzma was taken back by this gesture. Golisopod’s pokemon senses kicked in, cradling him close while making chattering sounds of comfort. Only Guzma knew him well enough to know he meant to say ‘I’ll be back before you know it! Please don’t cry.’ Guzma tried to stop crying. He just didn’t want his bestest friend and beloved pokemon to go even for one day. You and the others saw this and Plumeria, Axel and Baxter joined in to hug. Even Axel and Baxter started to cry-wait what? Why?

“Uh, why are you two crying?” you asked.

“It hurts to see the boss in pain!” Baxter said

“Im crying cuz you ain’t crying y-yo!” Axel said while looking at you

“Wha-? Why me? What about Nanu?”

“He’s cryin’ on the inside!” Axel told you.

You looked at Nanu. He simply looked back and said, “Its true.”

Guzma managed to stop. And the ringing in your ears stopped too.

“Ya think theres a third wave coming?” Nanu asked. “Naw i think he’s good.” you replied while petting Guzma’s head.

He tried to manage his breathing. Looking down blushing in utter embarrassment and defeat. All you heard for a few minutes were sniffles and hiccups while Nanu actually had to go over and help him breathe properly by saying ‘breathe. Good, your doing great. Good boy.’ I guess Nanu was useful for something.

“….thanks for checkin’ on me…Yeah.” you and the others smiled as a sign of thanks.

“Oh, A, sorry ya got hurt and all. I heard from the other side of the door. And the both of ya’s…TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS AND IMMA BEAT YA DOWN SO HARD YOU’LL BE SEEING MORE THAN STARS.”

“Y-y-es sir! Glad your better!” they said spuddered.

“Now, Guzma you ready to take Golisopod to route 8?” you asked him.

He looked down then to his Golisopod. He smirked and nodded his head. “Lets go.”

The trip to Akala Island was brief. You and Guzma decided to go together. A and B stayed to guard the place, plumeria stayed to train and forget she ever saw her boss like that. Nanu just didn’t want to go. Sounded fair.

“Aight bud,” he squeezed his claw a bit. “We’ll be back in a month. A'promise!” Golisopod chattered in confirmation and walked into the area. Guzma’s eyes lit up so much when he saw Golisopod go to the EXACT spot where they first met. He teared up a bit and waved goodbye.

It was late to go back to Ula'Ula so you two stayed at the hotel on route 8. You and Guzma were sound asleep, you slept on top of his chest. He was ok with it. some chipping sounds were heard from the window. You jolted up and tried to wake him up.

“Psst. Guzma, guzma.”

“Mmmm…eeeh, what. What is it?” you groggily got up holding you so you didn’t fall off the small bed.

“Theres something at the window.”

“Its just a golisop-GOLISOPOD!?”

Golisopod was signaling you two to come outside. It seems he had something to show you two!

You both walked out of the room in the summer breeze. As he guided you both, you were surprised to see so many Wimpods and Golisopods in one place. Man if only you brought your camera. They chattered and chirped a melody so wonderful the moon shined ever so bright. Golisopod showed you guys the spot where they first met and you two were greeted by pokemon eggs and a shiny Golisopod who seemed to be his partner.

As you got closer Guzma pointed something out “look they’re hatching! We came right on time!” you were puzzled. You didn’t really know how their hatching worked. The chattering melody grew louder and more enchanting and all the eggs around you two lit up!

“Whoa…..” you were mesmerized!

Wimpods were hatching left and right. You looked up to see Guzma’s reaction and you were so glad to see him happy. He looked intrigued and in love with all the new arrivals. He scratched and played with all the wimpods running around. They even laied on his head. He honestly looked like a kid at a candy store.

“Wow this is what he would'a missed if i didnt let him go…sorry buddy for being a lousy jerk.” Golisopod playfully punched Guzma’s back. The sun started to rise and all the Wimpods either went into the sea or dug into a cave. All the Golisopod went off to the sea or to their owners. “Well looks like we gotta go bud. See ya in a month.” Guzma walked off when he felt a tug at his hoodie. “Guzma, uh i think its over. I’m no genius at this but he doesnt seem to have a reason to be here anymore.” Golisopod walked over and got the ultra ball from Guzma’s hoodie pocket. Before he went inside, He put his head of Guzma’s head as a sign of thanks and pushed the button.

“What an experience. Come on Guzma lets go back to the mansion im exhausted.”

You walked to the hotel to pack your things, Guzma was right behind you holding his ultra ball. “ yeah, lets go home, frem.” he chuckled at the stupid remark he made. He didn’t regret it though.

Some more names that are not the same:

Charizard is Glurak.

Clefairy is Piepi. It sounds like that. Sure, that little lad is a fairy, but it says piepi.

Clefable is a Pixi.

Meowth is a Mauzi

Persian is a Snobilikat. She is a snobby cat. Makes sense, yes?

Geodude? Nah. That's a Kleinstein. A small stone.

Drowzee is Traumato. Because it brings you dreams, and waking up to find one over you might be a bit traumatic when you are five.

Cyndaquil is Feurigel. Because it's a little fire hedgehog.

Sudowoodo is a Mogelbaum. That is a pretend tree. Why do you give it such a weird name, Galarians?

A personal favorite is Felino for Wooper. Felino is far more adorable, isn't it?

Wobbuffet is called a Woingenau in Altwald. It sounds similar to "where to exactly?"

A bit of a doozy is Stantler. We call them a Dhamirplex.

Smeargle is a Farbeagle. Because that beagle sure has paints (farben)

My beloved Pidove is a Dusselgurr. They gurr. And they are a bit stupid. I still love them, and I still feed them at the train stations.

A joltik is a Wattzapf. They drain out watts right out of the sockets.

Noibat and Noivern are a bit special, actually. Their names in Altwald are a nod to our radio frequencies. eF-eM (Noibat) is a nod to the FM frequency. UHaFnir (Noivern) comes from the UHF frequency!

Wimpod is called Reißlaus in our language. We got a little rhyme for them as well. "Reißlaus nimmt reißaus". Wimpod runs away.

Cramorant. That thing is an Urgl. It is choking on those fish and Pikachu. It goes urgl.

The by now endangered Sneasler is called Snieboss over here. They are the boss of their habitat, after all.

Palafin got named Delfinator. The person who named them was a friend of the Terminator movies.

Occasionally, I forget the English names for Pokémon, especially if they’re odd ones. What do you mean, Licky Tongue. Of course that Schlurp has a long tongue and knows lick, it’s a Schlurp.

Why are you calling that little lad by his nickname? His full title is Snomnom, thank you very much.
