the pokemon's definitely still in there, too, I keep hearing it. maybe I'll throw a pokeball at it if I ever see it

not exercising makes muscle soreness far more annoying, because why aren't you better yet?

[sixteenscreed]

you'd better share if you do drink any of that

…That doesn’t seem like a good idea.

with the amount of everclear they sent me I probably have enough for the rest of my life if I drink responsibly

[A video is attached, which starts out looking at the sidewalk of Castelia city before focusing on a kid with dark hair and a Shinx at his side. The kid is saying, "Hey! I've never seen a Pokémon like that before, want a battle?"

"Uh," CK says. The angle seems to be from Anima's point of view, going by videos he's posted in the past. His face isn't visible, but the confusion is evident in his tone. "Me?" he asks, gesturing to himself.

The kid nods emphatically. "Yeah! You've got a neat Pokémon, and the best way to learn more about Pokémon is by battling them. Also, Twinkie really likes fighting things."

The Shinx, presumably Twinkie, nods just as emphatically with his tail flicking back and forth, like he's considering whether or not to pounce.

"For the record, which one are you more interested in?" CK asks. "Anima or Petruccio?" He gestures down toward the camera, and then to the Hisuian Zorua perched on his shoulders.

"Petruccio! I've seen a Porygon before," the kid says dismissively. "Also it seems busy."

...Well, considering that Anima is presumably recording the video, he's not wrong about that.

Petruccio hops down from CK's shoulders and bounds closer to the kid and his Shinx.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" says CK.

"Yessss!" the kid says, as his Shinx scampers forward as well. "Let's do this, Twinkie. Spark!"

The air crackles with electricity as Twinkie throws himself at Petruccio in a tackle. Not to be confused with a Tackle.

Petruccio growls something, and CK crosses his arms, head tilted as he considers the scene. "Petruccio, Snarl."

The snarl that Petruccio lets out in response to that is much louder, and actually manages to force Twinkie back from his own attack. Twinkie's trainer laughs before calling out, "Leer!"

Twinkie doesn't attack, this time, as such. But the surprisingly intimidating look coming from a relatively small Pokémon probably counts as one, even if it doesn't do anything outright to Petruccio like the Spark attack did.

"Bitter Resentment," CK counters.

Ghastly energy coalesces around Petruccio before it shoots forward at Twinkie. The Shinx shakes it off, shivering a bit, but otherwise not looking too much the worse for wear.

"Oh, huh, okay," the kid mutters to himself before he calls out, "Bite!"

Twinkie pounces, latching onto Petruccio at a speed that makes the other Pokémon briefly flinch.

"Ouch," CK mutters under his breath, quiet enough that Anima barely picks it up from its position. "Swift," he instructs.

"Shit," the kid says. "Bite again, quick!"

Twinkie lunges forward as Petruccio summons several star-shaped rays to hit him. The Shinx is quick, but not quite quick enough, because when the dust settles, both Petruccio and Twinkie seem to be knocked out.

"That was awesome!" the kid says, scooping up his fallen Shinx to hug him close to his chest. "Thanks, mister! Twinkie, you did so good..."

Twinkie cracks his eyes open to slow-blink at his trainer. The kid, apparently recognizing this for what it is, slow-blinks right back.

"Good job, kid," CK says as he strides forward to collect Petruccio. "He's a Zorua, if you were wondering."

"Ohhhhh," the kid says. Then he tilts his head a little to one side. "I thought those were Dark-types?"

In fairness, they are in Unova. Where most Zorua are Dark-types. It's an understandable mistake.

"Most of them are," CK agrees. "He's a Hisuian Zorua, though."

The kid blinks a few times. "Like ancient Sinnoh? That Hisui? Didn't know they had Zorua. Does Sinnoh still have Zorua?"

"No idea," CK admits. "I haven't really looked into it."

"...Oh." He looks a little disappointed. "Well, thanks anyway! Seeya around!"

The video ends with him taking off in what is presumably the direction of the nearest Pokécenter.]

[sixteenscreed]

how do you feel about phenomenal costume design in musicals?

[sixteenscreed]

yo what are your thoughts on themes, motifs, and doomed yuri?

themes and motifs can be interesting, depends on what they are

could take or leave the doomed yuri. shipping stuff isn't really my thing either way.

[sixteenscreed]

I discovered that there are a lot of very cute pokemon videos on the internet and watched them with Des

pretty much all day long

so you know it could have been worse.

Pelipper mail!

Two Pokémon Rescue Rehab grade Zoroark Manes! The packaging proudly announces that it is comfy to wear and can effortlessly be a place for at least two zorua to nap in a "species appropriate way" and includes instructions on putting it on.

One of the manes is styled after a Hisuian Zoroark, one after a Unovan.

........huh.

well. I think Petruccio's interested.

[A picture is attached of Petruccio sniffing the Hisuian Zoroark mane.]

[sixteenscreed]

[A picture is attached of Petruccio the Zorua pointedly turning his back on Des, who is not facing the camera either.]

I think that was a no

Hoodie hoods count as manes

...DO they?

brb gonna go see if petruccio wants to sit in my hood
