Hey! I have a writing idea but I need to ask a few to make it. Are there any dangerous dungeons in the area that Twig and Ark live at? What are there names? Does Opal have any fighting/training experience as she grows older (say like 9-12)? And does Opal know what dungeons are dangerous?

I'm so excited to hear you have a writing idea you're eager to write!! Sorry it took me a bit to get to answering your questions. I get real antsy waiting for these kinds of refs myself, so I hope it wasn't too hard to wait ^^;

Twig and Ark's immediate area around their town is clear of any mystery dungeon formations, but there are a number of routes that lead to a lot of mystery dungeons nearby— the closest of which is Mount Travail, though Boulder Quarry, Fogbound Lake, and Aegis Cave are also fairly close.

Opal takes an early interest in fighting and starts training with Twig at about 7, though Twig greatly limits the intensity of their exercises until she's about 10 to stretches and agility-focused work. After that, Opal starts combat training, and she's a prodigy at it— even beyond what edge being a Legend should give her, the girl knows how to throw a punch and loves doing it.

Once Opal is old enough to start wandering on her own, Twig lectures her about the mystery dungeons in their area and how dangerous they can be to the point Ark has to step in and lighten up the scare tactics on her behalf. Opal knows a lot of signs that she's nearing a mystery dungeon, but might not necessarily recognize them until she's already entered one. It's easy to get distracted and not be as mindful as you should be when you're a kid, after all.

I made a silly comic 🙂 to cope 🫠

Chapter 8 of TPiaG: Body Swap AU

Next [>]

[<] Prev

Start [O]

@sincerely-sofie I think this is my favorite chapter I've written so far!

Twig is unconscious

Darkrai couldn't sleep.

As ironic as that sentence is, it's nonetheless true.

He'd long since gotten used to the needs that Twig's body demands for. And he would be lying if he didn't say he, to some extent, enjoyed being able to fall asleep.

But for the last week, he couldn't fall sleep for the life of him.

He tossed and turned in his bed, trying every position he could think of.

He attempted to sleep curled up, splayed out, on his belly, his side, his back. With his blanket, without his blanket (A grave mistake).

Nothing worked.

And he hated so much that he knew why.

He couldn't stop thinking of Twig.

That loathsome wretch that took his body.

He couldn't understand why he can't stop thinking of her.

He hated her.

He hated how scared and helpless he felt seeing that passage open.

He hated how he wasn't as angry as he wanted to be when she picked him up without his consent.

He can't stop thinking of how she broke the shelves in that closet to fit both of them in there, even though she could have easily just stuffed him in there alone.

He hated so much that he felt safe in there with her.

He hated the way his breath caught on itself when she pulled him closer, after hearing Grovyle step past.

He hated how he felt like he'd been torn in half when Grovyle ripped her out of there.

He hated how frozen in terror he was as he watched Grovyle beat her within an inch of her life.

He hated how he felt utterly useless, watching Celebi, Dusknoir and Kip do everything they could to keep her from dying...

...

Darkrai's eyes widened as a thought came to his mind.

She may not have been attacked if she had just left him.

She might not be unconscious in the hospital, straddling the line between life and death, if she had simply hidden herself in the shadows, and left him to confront Grovyle.

She wasn't hiding herself from Grovyle.

She was protecting him...

...

Darkrai slowly curled his fists, leaving scratch marks in the floor.

No.

That wasn't what she was doing.

She hated him as much as he hated her.

It was in her best interest to keep her own body alive.

Then why didn't she hide you in the closet alone, and try speaking with Grovyle

Because Grovyle would have attacked her regardless.

Then she would have hidden herself in the shadows and tried conversing with him.

Did you not see the murderous rampage Grovyle was on?! He wouldn't have listened to her.

What about the code word?

Darkrai's heart skipped a beat.

She would have had a chance to say it had she not tried to keep you safe.

She... She had a chance to say it during their fight. She'd forgotten she had that word in mind.

Would she have forgotten if he didn't claim that her voice was a trick? Would she have forgotten if she had a chance to talk with Grovyle? Would she have forgotten if she only dodged, and didn't try to fight back?

Grovyle wouldn't have believed her if she did say the word.

Kip didn't believe her until she said the word to him. And he had more of a reason to doubt the legitimacy.

Darkrai pressed his claws into his arms.

Stop.

If she had shown you to him, and explained what had happened, what do you think Grovyle would have done?

Darkrai winced from the pain he was inflicting on himself, attempting to hold back tears.

Stop it!

Grovyle would not have hesitated to try and kill you.

STOP!

He would blame you, as he does now, for stealing her body.

Blood was starting to pool where his claws pierced his skin.

Do you not recall her expression, when she apologized for what she said to you that morning? And the promise she made to find something for you to do during the day?

ENOUGH! I WILL NOT TOLERATE MY OWN MIND BELITTLING ME LIKE THIS!!!

She cares about you.

...

Darkrai quietly cried in his bed. Trying to remain as silent as possible so the others couldn't hear him.

Why?

...

Silence.

**********

Grovyle lay flat on his back in Kip's bed, ironically getting less sleep than he did than for the few weeks he was technically homeless. Forced to stay in that position so his ribs would heal correctly. Tears flow down his face as he thought about Twig.

The fear in her eyes, as a human, a Charmander, and in Darkrai's body haunted him.

The feeling of satisfaction he felt, watching her bleed before he knew who she was, made him consider leaving to enter Labyrinth Cave alone.

Grovyle intentionally took deep breaths. Each one sending out sharp pain from his chest.

He can never see her again. His presence would force her to relive what he'd done to her.

He tried to kill her.

He forced her through intense agony to make her suffer.

He traumatized her.

She should hate him.

She should hate him the way he hates himself, with every fiber of her being...

He hopes she does.

*********

Dusknoir couldn't take any comfort in the literature he used to. Despite Celebi's and the doctors' best efforts, the damage done to his eye is permanent. Everything looks like he'd been submerged underwater. His age already made his eyesight worse, but now he'll have to learn Braille to read again.

But he wasn't worried about that.

He was more worried about Kip.

He was of course worried about Twig. Praying at every moment that she would recover, but his fears still lay in seeing Kip neglect himself to watch Twig at all times.

The fact that the last thing he could, and probably will ever see clearly, was Kip's expression of terror, the same he'd seen several years ago, filled him with a pain that was much greater than what Kip had afflicted him with.

Dusknoir wondered if all of this would have been avoided if he was never given his undeserved mercy.

He saw the way Kip shook when he exited the passage of time.

Twig wouldn't be on the cusp of death, and Kip would be happy if he was simply never brought back.

********

Celebi couldn't understand how Darkrai isn't exhausted all the time with how he's constantly angry.

She's barely able to do anything but sit on the couch and think of just how much of a brain-dead idiot she is.

If she had just looked forward when they figured out that Kip and Twig had moved, then she could have stopped any of this from happening.

But NOOOOO!~ She just HAD to wait and see what would happen! She just HAD to be surprised by how things would turn out!

And now she hurt everyone and Twig might die.

Sure, they managed to get her to the hospital, and yeah, She's at least stable.

But what happens if her body gives out?

She dies.

And it'd be her fault if she does.

Celebi doesn't even want to think about what Kip and Grovyle would do if she passes.

She's completely trapped in a prison of her own design.

She hates that she didn't look forward then, and she hates how scared she is to look forward now.

She hates how angry she feels towards Kip for hurting Dusknoir like that. Even though she knows it was a knee-jerk reaction.

She hates how angry she is at Grovyle, for letting himself get to the point where all logic and reasoning went out the window. Even though she knows he was just tired and furious and paranoid.

But she doesn't hate how angry she is at herself.

There isn't a justification for her actions.

She is just stupid.

*********

Kip didn't care that sleeping next to her gave him nightmares. He couldn't care less that the pendant she wore with the lunar feather was lost during her fight.

The fear he feels in those nightmares pales in comparison to the fear he feels at every waking second.

Every morning he jolts awake, covered in cold sweat from the nightmare he had, and stares at Twig. Watching her to make sure she's still breathing.

He hasn't left the room since he was allowed in after the emergency surgery the Doctors had to preform on her.

He watches the doctors replace the medicine and bandages daily. Staring at her wounds to make sure they haven't gotten infected. Even if that's not his job.

Kip just-

He was so mad at himself.

He wanted to make up for abandoning Twig when she needed him most. But he can't.

And he might not ever be able to.

What a moron he is. He can't figure out why he started running in the first place.

They were his friends. They wouldn't hurt him or Twig.

But Grovyle ended up nearly killing her anyway. All because he wasn't there to defend her. To explain what had happened.

Kip stared at Twig.

First time she's slept since switching bodies, and it was because of him.

Kip stood up and heavily, slowly walked towards the door.

He turned his head to look back at her. Hoping she'd woken up.

She didn't. She lay in the same position. Her breathing, weak and short.

...

Team Skull was right about him

They were more right than Twig ever was.

All he ever did was weigh her down. He was a burden that he forced her to carry.

She had lied to him. He wasn't her friend. Friends don't abandon each other when they need them most.

Friends don't suddenly change their minds and try to go back for them for no reason.

Friends don't break down crying, unable to do anything while trying to put medicine on their wounds.

Friends don't act like him.

Kip left the room and slowly walked out of the hospital towards the travel agency. His head hung low.

He could feel the atmosphere get less heavy with each step, but he himself still felt heavy.

He's going... Somewhere. He doesn't know where. Just, any other town.

She doesn't deserve a scumbag 'friend' like him.

It's better this way...

*******

Celebi had told her everything.

She couldn't help but notice the underlying anger in her words. Everything recounted to her with an uncharacteristic flatness. Simply laying out the facts and nothing more.

She took a slight amusement as she thought about how Twig must have looked at Grovyle, when he saw her clutching that monster like some scared child holding a stuffed toy.

It was exactly what she deserved to have happen after she gave pity to that wretched, selfish thing.

At least justice was finally served.

Maybe now she'll take a step back and realize her actions and words were in no way justified.

Maybe she'll finally see just how awful he acted. And finally take the steps to right what's wrong.

Cresselia stopped her midnight flight when she suddenly realized that someone experiencing great physical and emotional pain. Barely detectable, as it was far away. All the way over on the Fire continent.

Cresselia decided to shelve the thoughts as she began making her way over to where the pain was originating.

She thinks it may be coming from a Snivy but she isn't quite sure yet.

Cresselia enjoyed the feeling of the crisp, early spring night breeze against her feathers.

Perhaps her and Kip will finally see eye-to-eye when she returns.

“It’s the mortals who really have cause for concern.” Alright, Twig, prepare for some more trauma. Here’s a blanket and chocolate to help you get through it. We love ya but you’re probably screwed. You can do it tho!

. . . Heeeey, Spindle’s parents aren’t looking for him, right? Because if so, it has me a bit worried about Opal’s well-being if the parents do find out about her, along with Ark and Celebi.

Spindle’s parents think he was killed by a certain test subject— that’s what Eolienne and Taffeta told them, at least, and the scene that the two put together was convincing enough to leave them certain they were telling the truth. After all, unlike their son, their daughters were model employees who couldn’t tell a lie to save their tails! The test subject in question was successfully restrained in such a way another incident is impossible, and after two or three business days to mourn, they’ve moved on from their son’s supposed death rather well.

And luckily for Opal, Ark, and Celebi, they don’t have much they need to worry about. The only Legend who crossed paths with this family was Mew, and she left them on friendly terms. It’s the mortals who really have cause for concern.

[sincerely-sofie]

Test Subject?

What are Spindle's parents like?

(Referencing this post)

Spindle’s parents are tailors! I promise :)

(Link to last four screenshots)

[sincerely-sofie]

Would Spindle be in a boyband?

Spindle has the charisma of a decomposing lobster, so I'm afraid he wouldn't be very good in a boy band as anything but that one member everyone forgets exists other than a small, hyper-dedicated fan group.

His sisters, on the other hand, would be the most amazing pop duo you can imagine. I'm picturing Squid Sisters style stuff. They'd take the world by storm.

[sincerely-sofie]

Maybe I'm just an idiot but why is the ship between Ark and Twig called Travail? Is there some secret meaning I missed behind why their ship name is Work? [For context, work in French is travail.]

You're not an idiot at all, don't worry about it! I made the ship name for Ark and Twig "travailshipping" because "travail" is also an English word with a fair bit of significance for those two.

On the one hand, travail is a synonym for work in English, but it has the additional connotation of the work being especially hard and taking a lot of time and effort. Those two had to go through a lot of hard work to get to the point where they're a couple, and their relationship is marked by all the conscious effort they put in to make it successful. Things weren't easy for them, at least not at first. On the other hand, Twig and Darkrai reunite after his memory loss on the in-game location of Mount Travail, which adds some fun trivia to the name as well :>

"Travailshipping" was also my effort to follow the traditional format for ship names in the Pokemon franchise's fandom. If I were to choose a ship name entirely on my own, I probably would have selected something like "Solar Eclipse", "Campfire", "Nightlight", or something similarly goofy, hehe.

May arceus help victini if they play uno no mercy and he draw 10s her.

(Referencing this post)

Celebi demands he goes all out, and this means he’s using all his statistics-influencing abilities during this game. Celebi is peeking ahead in the timeline constantly so she knows what strategies to use. It’s a brutal match that ends in a draw and they shake hands on the mutual loss. Victini comes away with a more grounded admiration of Celebi that's got more substance than just being infatuated with a lady he saw in the crowd during a couple of his shows, and Celebi comes away with an even deeper respect for her rival in cuteness.

Everyone around them, meanwhile, is terrified of how intense those two got during the game. Like. They didn’t even know how scary a lucky rabbit and onion fairy could be before then. They pray that terror will never be directed at them.

So like I was listening to the hamilton ost earlier and after hearing one specific song I was like 'wait I could make TPiaG out of this' and so here's a redoing of the lyrics meant to be set during around the midpoint ish of TPiaG? not sure where exactly idk I'm tired [and I'm not telling you what song it is and am just hoping someone else will recognize the song-] G = Grovyle T = Twig [Used to indicate who's singing what part]

G: How does Twig... An anxious, former-human, orphan, reckless, untrusting- Somehow confide in Dusknoir, his enemy, a pokemon she's despised since his betrayal- Just to keep me out of it?

I just want her to be honest with me, for her to be honest with me, for her to be honest with me I just want her to trust me with this, Just the one time...

Dear Twig... I am not one for anger, no matter what you may find as I reckon with the effects of your life on mine... I look back on what I said, and after everything I checked, I suppose it's only fair you started to deny your own pain

You may claim I'm a hypocrite, or no better than you, but whatever it is you want to claim, lie about, or to do, I want you to know That I am here for you. Singed, 'Clover'.

T: Well, Grovyle, Just because you lied isn't the reason I don't trust you. The reason is you're overprotective, and No: I won't stop being reckless just because you said I should.

And No, Ark is not the problem here, You should know that he's harmless, no matter how much you claim I'm 'not sleeping'- Like, I only had twenty-one panic attacks yesterday.

G: Sweet Arceus.

T: Listen, I may not be 'free' Only because there is just one me I'm a bit busy making sure he's better I don't want to fight,

Nor will I apologize for doing what's right. I know that you say you're here, That doesn't mean I have to trust you. Signing off, Twig.

[And yeah I'm cutting it off here since it's midnight and I'm tired]

Well now I just want to animate this.

[sincerely-sofie]

Idea gained from @sincerely-sofie 's post

I hc that he would play exactly one game with him, per Gengar's request, and never again.

[sincerely-sofie]

Would Victini throw games for Celebi?

Absolutely! It wouldn’t end well.

[sincerely-sofie]

Hey Sophie ! I saw you accepted giftfics as well, so here is my attempt at it. This happens way after Opal first enters the picture. Here goes !

***

The night was well underway, and while a desperate Dusknoir was (fruitlessly) trying to stop Celebi from cooking her ‘world-famous mudpie’…

‘Celebi !’ he shouted, ‘Dead leaves do *not* a topping make !’

‘Why don’t you trust me for once, Dusknoir ?’ replied the Legendary. ‘I swear, you are no fun at all !’

Grovyle and Twig were busy cleaning the dishes, the two siblings-in-all-but-blood bantering all the while.

This left Kip with not a lot to do, other than twiddle his paws. Twig had told him that him bringing the main course was more than enough help, and that he was banned from doing so much as lifting a finger for the evening.

‘Here’ said Ark, suddenly appearing at his side, a steaming cup in hand. Kip was used to the Legend’s antics now, so he didn’t even flinch. ‘Cinnamon and mint infusion.’

‘Experimenting, are we ?’ said Kip, grateful for the cup and the conversation partner.

‘My usual chamomille stock, regrettably, is expired’ said Ark, shrugging. ‘And I didn’t have the time to go to the market today, alas.’

‘It’s all good’ soothed Kip. ‘I like it spicy, anyways.’

He took a sip, and was pleasantly surprised by how well the two flavours combined together, spicy but not too much so.

‘This is very good !’ he said emphatically. ‘You should keep this one !’

‘I am afraid Twig wouldn’t appreciate this particular blend’ replied Ark, his tone as even as always to someone who didn’t know him, but the hint of teasing was unmistakable to Kip’s trained mind.

‘She’s lucky to have you, looking out for her poor tongue like that’s teased Kip in return. However, unlike the agreement he expected to receive in return, Ark flinched at that, to Kip’s surprise. ‘Ark ? Did I… say anything wrong ?’ Anxiety was beginning its familiar build-up inside him.

‘No !’ hurriedly said Ark. ‘No, nothing wrong, I apologize, I was just…’ he paused for a moment, as if looking for the right words. ‘Do you… do you truly mean what you just said ?’ he settled on asking, hesitant, more withdrawn than Kip had ever seen him, and now, now he understood the problem.

‘Oh !’ he said. ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t realize-I mean yes I… I meant what I said. You two are good for each other.’ He waited for an answer, but none came. Kip turned around to fully look at Ark, and the Legend was still, a rigid statue, his lone eye looking back at the Marshtomp with shock. ‘I mean-’ said Kip in a nervous laugh, ‘you’ve been together for, what, half a decade now ? And you still look at each other like the other is Arceus’ second coming on earth.’

‘Which is honestly adorable’ said Celebi in a giggle.

‘Ack !’ shouted Kip, still not used to Celebi’s feats of appearing and disappearing out of nowhere. ‘Could you please stop that !?’

‘Whatever are you talking about, dear ?’ she said, all innocent, blinking her eyes.

‘Please refrain from giving my guests cardiac arrest, Celebi’ said Ark in the world’s smallest disappointed sigh.

‘Oh, nobody is any fun tonight’ replied the pink fairy. ‘First Dusknoir kicking me out of the kitchen, now you. Honestly, I wish Opal and Lucky didn’t have their playdate, they would have been fun to be around.’ She raised her arms in the air, making a show of her frustration, while she drifted back towards the kitchen counter, hoping Twig would take pity on her and humour her, no doubt.

‘…Man, I don’t know how Grovyle and Dusknoir can keep up with her’ said Kip.

‘A mystery for the ages’ replied Ark, unwilling to disclose that Celebi told him she was playing up her attitude to push her two partners to get out of their shells. The two men looked at each other for a moment, then another, before Kip erupted in giggles.

‘Man’ he said between two fits. ‘I just realized two of my best friends are Legends, but they’re also complete goofs.’ A new holler. ‘Sandslash would lose her mind learning about this.

‘I resent that’ replied Ark without any bite. ‘I am a very serious individual.’ Then, a seconde later : ‘…Did you say best friend ?’

‘Ark’ said Kip, wiping a tear out of his eyes, ‘I spend more time with you all than with anyone else but Lucky, and perhaps Sen, and I live hours away from here. I wouldn’t do this for everyone, you know ?’

Ark didn’t reply, and Kip first thought that he was looking for an answer to give, but a quick glance at the Legend dispelled him of this illusion : Ark’s lone blue eye was shining wetly, as if on the verge of tears, and when next he spoke, it was with a very noticeable break in his voice.

‘Thank you’ he said, solemn and quiet, and Kip couldn’t help but scoot closer to him.

‘Hey, whatever for ?’ said Kip, now slightly uneasy. ‘If you cry, I’ll end up crying too’ he sais in a weak chuckle.

‘I’ll endeavor not to, then’ replied Ark in a surprised laugh. ‘I just… to hear you, of all people, acknowledging me as your friend, after all I did…’ another wet laugh. ‘It’s more than I deserve.’

‘Oh, no, no, no !’ said Kip, shaking his head. ‘We are done with this self-hate period of yours ! Do you want me to call Twig over ?’

‘It is not necessary, I assure you-‘ tried to say Ark, but it was too late : the Charmeleon had heard her name.

‘What’s up, dudes ?’ she said, turning around to face the pair, before she immediately frowned. ‘Ark ? You okay, hun ?’

‘He’s doing the *Twig Special*’ replied Kip with utmost seriousness.

‘Whaaaaat ?’ said the Charmeleon. ‘Oh hell no, this ends right now. Everyone !´ she shouted. ‘Group hug time !’

‘Finally, something exciting !’ said Celebi, her eyes shining in excitement.

‘You do not need bother’ said Ark, ‘It was just a momentary lapse-´

But a Charmeleon shaped missile barraged into the pair, followed by a pink fairy, then by Grovyle and Dusknoir following soon after (despite the latter’s protests). You *never* refused group hug time in Twig’s home or so help her.

***

Celebi let out a formidable yawn, as the Future Trio made their way back home.

‘I don’t know about you two, but I feel like I could drop dead tired.’

‘You didn’t do anything but eat, Celebi’ replied Grovyle, a slight smirk in his lips.

‘And that was really taxing for me, my dear Grovyle’ dramatically sighed Celebi. ‘If only a knight in shining armor could carry me home, I feel like I could faint.’

Wordlessly, with a sigh, Grovyle extended his arms. Celebi gladly took the invitation, nuzzling herself into her partner.

‘Oh, thank you, Grovyle’ she said, playing the part of damsel in distress very well. ‘You are the kindest in all the land.’

‘I feel like I’m intruding here’ dryly interrupted Dusknoir.

‘You could carry me’ laughed Grovyle.

‘Never’ replied Dusknoir. ‘I’d rather eat Celebi’s mud pie.’

Celebi huffed at that, but said nothing else.

‘Speaking of you’ continued Dusknoir, ‘do we have you to thank for Twig calling a group hug tonight ?’

‘It’s not my fault if Kip and Ark had a big heart to heart tonight’ primly replied Celebi from her seat in Grovyle’s arms.

‘I’m sure you didn’t pester me on purpose then’ replied Dusknoir, ‘to leave the both of them alone.’

‘No one will ever believe you’ replied Celebi, smug as one could be. Grovyle merely laughed.

‘Please never change Celebi.’

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

The entire intro scene is adorable and hilarious. And then there’s Celebi giving everyone heart attacks, Kip dropping the emotional bombshell of best friendship, the mandatory group hugs, the entire exchange between the future trio at the end, all of these little character interactions— I just—

hnghhghgfgffhh EMOTIONS. This is gold!!! Thank you for making it!!!!

[sincerely-sofie]

In celebration of me having beaten Darkrai for myself a week ago as of writing this (April 20), I started a little other drawing for fun so uh after procrastinating for a week, I finally finished it! Here it is:

(sorry if you don't accept drawings with others' OCs, the creativity was too strong for me to not- if not, you can just leave this to rot in the askbox for all time)

Featured alongside the two pokemon you have no excuse for not recognizing are my own EoS protags, Makoto the Bulbasaur and Aigiel the Eevee.

Also sorry for kinda maybe probably flooding your inbox? Like this will have been the tenth ask I sent in the past under 4 weeks (if you include the 3 anon asks)- idk what else to say so I'm just gonna stop typing

I absolutely do accept drawings with others' OCs! And congrats on beating the final-final boss of PMD2!

And don’t worry about flooding my inbox— the old thing is definitely getting pretty beefy (I think I’m at 40 asks right now?), but I read everything and love them all, even if I haven’t gotten to them… yet. I still haven’t given up hope of gradually getting to the oldest asks and answering them all.

[sincerely-sofie]

Does Celebi know of victinis crush

Celebi barely knows Victini exists— she attends his shows fairly often, but doesn’t see him as much more than an entertainer she enjoys. They’ve only directly interacted with each other once or twice, and she never caught on to his blatant crush during those interactions. She’s impressed that he’s almost adorable enough to rival her own cuteness, though. Almost.

[sincerely-sofie]

Do any of the cast like spicy food?

Celebi loves spicy food! It's one of the tastes she can experience most vividly, because it's less a taste and more a temperature-based thing. Kip and Dusknoir also enjoy a fair bit of spice to their meals, and Ark and Grovyle can appreciate it in moderation.

Twig will die if there's one fleck of black pepper too many on her potatoes.

[sincerely-sofie]

Would Victini view Grovyle as a rival of sorts after learning of Celebi's crush on him?

(Referencing this post)

Oh, totally. But it's a very one-sided rivalry, and he’d go about it in a weird way. Grovyle is constantly receiving invites to gameshows he never entered that are rigged in Victini’s favor. He never attends them because he thinks they’re just junk mail. Victini’s efforts to prove himself to Celebi never go as planned as a result.

[sincerely-sofie]

I can just imagine Victinis reaction to learning about the Celebi Council.

(Referencing this post)

Statistically speaking, this means the likelihood of Celebi liking him back has skyrocketed—here’s hoping he has a shot!
