One of my favorite details during Brozone's performance of Perfect is how Branch was the one who lit up first. Which makes sense considering what the Perfect Family Harmony needs to actually work. He was the only one genuinely happy to be on that stage, the rest were faking it and stressed out.

He was so young at the time, he didn't fully understand the stress the others were under. All he knew is that he wanted to sing with them.

In conclusion, if Branch was not there to start the Perfect Family Harmony, the others would never have lit up at all.

As part of his vengance quest for the temple of courage Cephan did leave Kleia behind in bastion and sneaked out of there against everyones orders (he is absolutely grounded when he gets back). And snuck off to Oribos then Maldraxxus.

He belived Maldraxxus would be too dangerous for an aspriant, but as fate has it he runs into Thales. The who do not get along at first (entirely because Cephan is in his brooding era.)

FLAMES JOURNEY CHAPTER #15 graduation,first dungeon

taiga seeing the large delphox still dripping wet pass out in his nest with a chuckle. he lets valdederong sleep and the next day lunch rolls around valdederon having been wiped out fron the previous days antics he gets up and grumbles missing his evry day cup of coffee after waking up., he heads out to the mess hall and looks for somthing strong to wake him up settling on some tomoto berry juice while reading up on some news that was just posted to a news board in the mess hall after awhile he finishes drinking the juice and then eats a bit of meat loaf that was left over from the previous nights dinner. soon he heads to the training room to continue his training to become a pheonix hawk learning from zelania the many dangers of mystery dungeons the problems they cause what they do to pokemon who get traped in side what it does to them even normaly timid and shy pokemon becoming near insane hyper agressive . and they continue the trainin even as zelania passes him shes surprised greatley as he stays to learn more.

zelania---mmmm.. your the first mon in awhile to want to take the advanced courses your started when you were 13 and your now16 .. so hmm.. you know..im still pissed when you made me ball my eyes out but..you helped me let go of alot of pain ..for now take a break for a few days ugh.. my dad wants to groom my furr again.

valdederon gently ruffles her head furr

valdederon--- well having your furr taken care of is realy good for you and makes you stand out some day you might even find some one you love through your amazing furr

( this will be important below in the near future be sure to read carefuly )

for the next few years valdederon continues to learn and train in zelanias advanced classes. untill he is 23 and has learned ervything he can.

mean while in another part of the continent farr off into the east a small tribe of lucario and riolu stop to rest near the edge of lake palicon all of the lucario resting in the sun light while the riolu play in the water. none of them aware of the coming dangers while an elderly lucario observes a verry fiesty little riolu whi is at this moment 18 aproaching 19. with in the next couple weeks the little riolu practicng fighting mooves and manipulating her aura bone into a spear . much to her surprise the elderly lucario shakes his head and makes a stance that signifies to make it longer as its shorter then she should have it.

back in the guld valdederon celebrates his birthday with the guild and looks in surprises as hes gifted a bottle of oran berry tomoto berry wine a sour and spicy combo and he puts it in his adventurers bag with a smile thanking evryone as it was brewed fresh in the guild and a large feast is prepared for all the graduates of the basic class and valdederon of the advanced class for pheonix hawk training.

valdederon--- ill definately try the wine at some point though im not a big drinker so it might take me wahile to open it up guess its time to eat up now he he.

he heads to the dining table and uses psychic to gather a couple plates of meat vegies and a slice of cake and begins digging in happily.

he heads over to after awhile a slightly smaller then usual goodra beeing 22 years old comes over with a smile ( drae- go ) draggo--- hi my name is draggo.. and im a goofy goodra.. id love to join your team..

valdederon chuckles with a smile the goodra dripping slime evrywere next to him

valdederon-- sure ill form a party with you but were sparing first.. id like to gaugue your skill abit.. i dont want to end up draging you some were were you get hurt because you couldnt avoid to many hits.

draggo--- sounds understandable.. though you realy should pour your self a glass of the wine.. he he i helped brew it.. i have somthing ofmy own i can share later if your willing.. its called goodra tonic its not a alcoholic drink but most other pokemon cant have it because its slightly toxic not deadly toxic more long a realy bad day in the litter box toxic.. and a angry stomach.

valdederon chuckles--- ooohf ive been there once or twice my self in my past life. once at a fruit calle the zeerkon berrie and .. well.. lets just say i dont envy the inkeepers who had to tend to my matress

draggo chuckles and begins to laugh teasing valdederon at the obvious implication that the bed was soiled

valdederon-- ha ha ha yea laugh at the delphox real mature dragon breath

draggo-- heeyy i resent that name.. ha ha ha ha ha ha.

in a matter of moments the whole mess hall is a buz of laughter and joy. later that day they both begin to prepare for the raid beeing acompanied by zelania as an observer as they head to a dungeon just a 30 minute walk north of the guild after a quick sparing match.

once in the dungeon draggo and valdederon keep a close eye on thier surroundings while exploring .

draggo-- so whats with that branch your carrying.

valdederon-- found it in an old crypt awhile back ago it channels my magic far more effeciantly then using my paws or the stick i evolved with. magic will one day return to this parched realm filled with dangers and wonders of plenty.

draggo--- ya talking crazy bud your a pokemon.

zelania-- actualy hes an outworlder.. and a pokemon hes a good guy though some times beyond blunt and rude.. but even when hes beeing as blunt as a wood hammer strike hes never evil or malicious about it.. though he does say hes done some . evil things in his past life witch i do not believe in the slightest.

valdederon chuckles as they take cover as some ferral pokemon begin to come out of a room ahead of the hallway they were walking in. they manage to sneak past and valdederon looks at the mission they picked up witch is to find a pikachu who got lost and sperated from his pack as they had passed by the dungeon just after it formed.

valdederon-- says here they dont know what floor the little pikachu is on keep yoru eye spealed draggo.

drago nods as they are currently on the 3rd floor of the dungeon a damp and dimly crystal lit cave full of moss and vines. the slodly trudge on keeping a observant look around thier surroundings eventualy finding the crying pikachu badly cut battered and cornered by 5 ferral scyther

valdederon---shit this isnt good.. draggon use draggon tail to shatter some rock and cause a dust cloud ill rush in and tend to the pikachu youl have to deal with the scyther untill hes healed .

draggos fists clench as the pikachu is clearly young maybey no more then 10 or 12 years old at best zelanias face going white as she observes the sight sings of the small electric mouse having been battered all over thd cave red smears across the walls ciealing floors along side scuff marks. with in moments a gre cloud of dust violently errupts as draggon unlesshes a powerful draggon tailc ratering the floor and valdederon darts through it sliding between 2 scyther and picking up the pikachu his back slaming against the wall with a loud thwack echoing off the walls causing him to be dazed for a second but he pulls out bandaging up the pikachu and giving him an oran berry

valdederon--- your save now reekoon.. your pack sent us to rescue you eat these they will heal your injuries but youl probably have scars

the pikachu nods weakly grabbing the berry and nibbling on it and then beginning to hork it down hungerly having been stuck for sveral days eating the bitter and yuky tasting moss and vines then drinking from the offered water skin as valdederon sets him down and covers him with a blanket to help drago take on the 3 remaining scyther a show 3 hours later the fight is over reekoon the young pikachu asleep in draggos arms and zelania coming over shaking sligning scared and worried.

valdederon--- you ok zel.. you look abit rocky .

she whimpers softly

valdederon--- lets wait to return to the guild i think we could all use a break ill set up a camp fire and get some meat roasting . good thing were all omnivorus…

zelania lays down shaking heavily having never been on an observation run before as usualy others would do it but those who have done it before have moved out of the guild

draggo--- youl have to get used to this kind of stuff as an observer hun. some dungeons can be far worse then this.. its not uncomon for pokemon to die in a dungon..ferral and non ferral pokemon both..its your job as an observer to report progres or failure of teams like ours its not an easy job to bear.

she nods as they rest and eat the snack of deer meat and then retrun to the guild tired but overall in good shape kleo barreling into him at high speed scales freyyed with worrie as he thumps to the ground on his back with a yelp

valdederon--- mom i nearly smashed my spine into a cave wall rescuing a pikachu please be careful…mmmmph jesus mother of mercy that hurt..

she chuckles and gets off of him apologizing as shed been worried

valdederon--- im fine mom im home.. gues i dont need to say that now ha ha,…

draggo---seems like shes been worried sick with you in a dungeon. dont worry mam we were carefull… up untill we found the little mouse.. surrounded by scyther… we had to jump in with out a full prooof plan.. but it worked out.

the psychic pokemon teleport the pack of pikachu in and smile as they all rush over to reekoon and picking him up giving valdederon and draggo both a coin pouch of 250 mewn each and a pile of berries as well

valdederon--- thanks but you guys shouldnt give us thi smuch money we were happy to rescue your little one.. he still needs abit of medical attention hes super weak and dehydrated.. and abit malnourished

they all shake thier head at the payment bit but nod knowing that valdederon is right and they head to the medical wing when evergreen shows up to take the injured pokemon up

draggo--- so whats next..

valderon-- a nice hot soak in the hot springs my furr is a frazzled mess you can come soak with me if you want .

they both head out to the hotsprings to take a nice soak

[snazzi-strawberri]

BERRI. talk about something you like. absolutely ramble. the floor is your s (you can also ignore this ask if you have nothing for talkijz)

BREATHES IN okay so like you know my story star chronicles yeah i absolutely LOVE it to bits because i put SO so so much effort and love into my characters stories and relationships with each other and how they effect each other in their motivations and way of thinking and all that. but thats not what i want to share as that is another ramble for the future.

long rambling about berri lore below LMAO

Star chronicles has been a big part of my growing years. It has been worked on ever since early? mid 2020 when the pandemic hit. It has seriously went through SO so so much stages [the story themes were different, the GENRES and time periods were different. there were space ships one time?] and Star chronciles was originally a story about two kingdoms with princes and misunderstandings and war and all medieval and old timey stuff and comparing it to right now- it is EXTREMELY different. It has grown along with myself as a storyteller and writer. Before i worked on this story I did not consider myself to be a writer, and if i did write it was usually silly stories (like a man with a head of a fish because of a gone wrong science experiment) so i was afraid to do actual. serious effort into stories because those are more judged at and highly expected of, yknow? Like proper plot lines, character motivations and personalities, interesting conflicts yadda yadda. And I didnt even know how to start.

I even thought having ocs were cringe back in the day :"] ive truly went through character development HAHA But yeah, in 2020 it all changed! because i have met online friends that have helped me work on the story and truly help shape it into now. The funny thing is, a part with life and growth is losing connection with the people you knew before. And thats what happened to the friends that helped me make this story. Even if they may not be in my life right now, theyve affected me for life as they have certainly helped and jumpstarted my love for character making and stories, helping me in practicng my skills in writing and actually having fun with it! The process that im so scared of before is actually quite fun for me for the most part!! And even if they may not ever see this now, i thank them for that.

So yeah, im working on this story alone and it really is a daunting, big personal project. but its mine! and i love it to bits. No one knows the story and characters as well as i do. And you best know Ill do my fuckin best to make it something im ultimately proud of in my life.

[cloudipuffy]

Well... i tried :<

im going to continue practicng

[sluuuug]

god why is it so hard for me to make good music

[the-proxie]

I don't mind the race bending, but I find it odd you didn't recognize Daisy has the flatter nose, bigger eyes, and softer head shape than Peach.

I guess it’s just my art style, but yeah I have noticed that when I draw her, so I keep practicing :P

Daily DAMUROplz Self-challenge prompt by theabsintheart

#self-challengeart #dailyart #dailysketch These are collages from when I intermittently hit a self-challenge to draw one DAmuroplz prompt a day while I'm around DA. It's not my number one goal, but I wanted to keep practicng getting a concept and immediately executing it, at random. I usually drew whoever is at the bottom of the forum page and try to draw it as quickly as I can. Some of these character concepts belong to speciific people, not me, but when I started doing this I wasn't tracking the owners so if it's yours and I don't know it, holler. It's totes inspired as a practice by piper thibodeau/cryptidcreations.

[witchysolfan]

Seriously, what the fudge is up with your art? The designs are so adorable and nostalgic, if that makes any sense? And for some reason, mythology/game crossovers are cringe to me me, but WukongxAthalia is *chef's kiss*. Don't you dare stop practicng art and drawing what you want!!

aww, I’m happy you like my art. That’s a first though I heard anyone describe my art as nostalgic. Thank you. 

Wu Kong was added into AFK Arena mobile game as a playable character and at first I was just gonna have him antagonize the “you can’t judge me, I am justice” Angel Athalia. Because hey, their personalities would definitely clash.

And then oh no, I started shipping them.

When did this happen? That was so fast dnjhgjhgjhfdfjafhj

So yeah, WuThalia is just that one ship that just came to be.

And I didn’t even like Athalia before. lol
