#I'm using Rotom btw...

[usagi-zakura]

I love playing Pokémon S/V trying to find allies to fight a flying terra pokémon that's normally ground.

"Imma bring my electric.." its weak to ground. "Rock is good" Weak to ground. "Iron hands beats everything" its gonna get oneshot because you're gonna cut its HP in half causing it to die to the first earthquake!

[pokemon-ash-aus]

When Ash says the vessel is worth a lot does he mean in terms of money or sentiment? Sorry if it's obvious and I'm just missing it

The former actually! A lot of Pikachu's stuff is importeted. Mareep Faux Fur(wool) and Ash needing to use specific threading (Galvantula thread) means that it costs a pretty penny to have it all delivered to him.

Thankfully by Kalos he has Iris and Cilan to send him those things with less of the importing hassle, but it's still a pain in the ass.

He also has a small robot in there to help Pikachu keep the shape and form. Think of it like-

Like this!

Except to fit the curvature of a Pikachu. He still has iron balls within his body since the skeleton is light. It also does a good job of keeping his joints in place.

He also has that one mouth moving mechanism that Talking toys have, but i cant find a picture of it. And that has been fined tune to hell so it's as silent as possible, most of the noises are drowned out by Pikachu's voice anyway. You would need an acute hearing pokemon to even notice it.

But yes!

In SCVI Iron balls alone are around 20,000 and Pikachu needs at least 2 of them in order to function (means the dude is hella fast when he sheds said vessel btw)

So uh- long winded way to say, it's expensive as hell

[gotta-pet-em-all]

New pinned post yippee!

Hello everyone! You can call me Fluff, after my old warrior skitty sona Fluffstep. Unovan-born, Sinnohan, and disabled. She/her pronouns please, TERFs are not welcome, and I’m something of a pan disaster. I like media analysis and disability advocacy in my free time, and I love pokepics.

Pelipper mail and magic anons are ON.

My pokemon friends consist of:

Lola, my alomomola. I was like seven when I named her that, and she’s my dearest and oldest friend.

Sakurako, my cherrim. She’s a little grumpy and craves sunlight a lot, but I do my best to take care of her!

Leo, my lopunny. He’s a dramatic little guy who I fed when he was just a buneary, and then he kept coming back and uh. Well, I have a lopunny now!

Riza, my pachirisu! Yes I named her after my gay crush from Fullmetal Alcremie. I think she’s a teenager or thereabouts, and she’s a very sweet, energetic, snuggly girl.

Walpurgisnacht, my spiritomb. Nacht uses she/they and is rather ominous, but I know they care for me a lot, and have a strong sense of justice! She might take over the blog occasionally. Don't mind them!

Madeline, my rapidash. I've also got some art of her, by @blackwatercowboy!

Anomalocaris, or just Cari, my togetic! She’s baby and I love her and I wish she would stop trying to eat rocks.

They probably won't be around as much, but my partners still have blog access and you might see them sometimes! Here are their introductions from last time.

Oh tits this is a thing now I moderately forgot and then fell asleep.

Uuuuuuuhhhh hi hello rotomblr blog I've seen on my partners phone and assorted shenanigans I've heard in passing! You've seen me a tiny bit before but I'm scampering on here proper for this little trip.

You can call my Myth or Mythsremix that's my fuckin. Hoopa nickname dfjkghdkfjdf. I'm a history and mythology nerd.

My pokemon are:

Avalon, an absol. She's my starter! Serious natured and quiet, loves to get critical hits oh my god. Absolute mad-woman.

Priden, little shit of a shiny sylveon. Spoiled lil bastard but did you know that the ability pixelate can make hyper beam fairy type?

Echo, a wonderful and very hyperactive noivern. She's a little small for a noivern but she's doing great. Loves a good treat.

Tresvivi, an old hydregion. Don't be alarmed by her scarring, she's a total sweetheart. Strong as hell but mostly a contest mon (and WINNER) these days. Pampered beyond belief.

Rishiri, a gastrodon (pink one- I don't remember if it's east or west I mix them up all the damn time). She's a sleepy ol gal, loves to loaf about.

Sirius, a rotom. Xyr a mischievous little bastard that I found within an old, abandoned building deep in the woods near where I lived. Likes to hide in my poketch, may end up popping in from time to time. [HIHIHIHIHIHIHI] speak of the ghost lmao.

Sometime my team is joined by an unofficial other member, but they march to the beat of a different drum. Maybe they'll come by, maybe not.

Oh yeah I'm fi/fir btw I almost forgot, my brain is everywhere at the moment.

hey there, weird multidimensional Rotomblr! since you know Fluff by that name, you can call me... Pine!

uhhh what do I put here... Fluff what did you put here...

well, I'm Sinnohan, always have been. she/her, I'm studying to become a Pokemon Professor (part of why I went for a tree name, lol) and I do enjoy battling on the side, though I don't do as much as I used to.

some mons you're likely to see from me:

Zero, my boy, my Glaceon, my starter. he is a Cold Boi and loves snuggles, which is great in the summertime and not so great when it's really cold outside even by my standards.

Kira, Infernape, originally got him as a Chimchar from my mentor when I was supposed to just watch him for the weekend, but he got attached. and I got attached. and then my mentor laughed at me and went, well, looks like you have two pokemon now!

Hertz, Electivire, was once just a little guy who loved eating electricity and then evolved into an adrenaline junkie who loves running around outside during thunderstorms and trying to get lightning to strike him.

Sharpe, Nidoqueen, affectionately called Nidomom by the three of us and also our other partner's little sister. (not to be confused with Dinomom, an Aurorus that kind of adopted my older sister.) if she decides you are having a bad day and need hugs from Nidomom, you will be getting hugs from Nidomom. do not resist.

Mars, Gyarados, originally named after an archaic god of war... shortly before the Galactic Incident and me realizing that maybe I should have gone for a different name. ironically, he's very chill for a Gyarados.

Lavender (or just Lav), Haunter, just in it for the chaos. licky girl. (she no longer knows the move Lick, so she's less likely to paralyze us by slobbering over us, which is probably for the best...)

Sappho, Kabuto who hasn't been with me anywhere near as long as the others have, but the people at the Oreburgh Museum asked so nicely if we were willing to take some fossil mons off their hands, I really couldn't say no, and she earned her nickname... pretty fast. like, within about five minutes fast.

One more thing. Uh, real talk. So, in terms of triggering content on the blog? I'm going to be talking about child abuse, my own experiences with ableism and maybe even medical trauma, and cults. If you're not comfortable with that, I would suggest maybe finding somewhere better to hang out. I usually keep things pretty lighthearted around here, not much danger to be had.

[lassphotography]

hi everyone 🎵 my name is chrissy

i'm just here to dump photos and stuff so my rotom phone storage doesn't get full.

ooc info

hi! i wanted to make a dedicated gif blog for irl pokemon blogs so this is why lassphotography exists. all of my creations are free to use with credit and all of my gif posts will link back to the original source.

you're more than welcome to talk to the in character owner of this blog, but lass chrissy (not to be confused with lass crissy of sootopolis gym fame) doesn't have too much going on. she mostly serves as a vehicle to post in character/in universe themed gifs lol.

related to that i'd prefer for no magic anons, but pelipper mail is tentatively allowed as long as it's something that could actually be sent in the mail.

if you want to request any specific pokemon gifs btw you can send me an ask and i'll see what i can do.

that's about it for now i think! thanks for reading.

[crystaspen]

@miikuri || please don't tell my mom about this

dear mr wallace,

hello sorry my last email didn't go into a lot of detail but we're fine now!!!! no one died. which is great! the falling off a cliff bit was less great but my rotom phone caught me and we're not in the crater anymore so it's fine. we're on our way back to school now to tell the director what happened

that's where we were going btw, into the area zero crater. the professor called me and asked me and my friend to come and see him there for. reasons? i don't think i was ever very sure on why actually but um! we got our other friends and went? except it was not the professor, it was his ai.

the professor's dead btw, i don't think anyone knows that yet? can you maybe tell someone for us or something???? apparently he got mauled to death by a pokemon years ago and his ai has just been pretending to be him to everyone, or something i'm still not clear on whether or not people know it was an ai or not. i was kind of trying not to die and didn't pay a lot of attention about it after he started throwing pokemon around to kill me

i'm going to bed now i'll write you again later thanks for all your help

aspen

[twisted-kratts]

Twisted Villain trainers

Hey i'm just in a pokemon mood idk why, but here the Twisted Villains as trainers, you can view them as whatever for the people. like all things squished down

Gaspard, the cryptid tamer

Gaspard is a water and Ground type trainer who uses them to help him look for mystical Pokémon that probably exist Swamp beast, the Swampert (had it since it was a Mudkip) Nessie the Lapras (it would not leave him alone so he just yoinked it) Allghoi the Sandaconda (was searching the deserts and found this thing spitting sand at him) Duba the Ursaluna (was investigating sightings of a man bear but just found an Ursaluna) Mothman the Masquerain (found it as a surskit and kept it) Loveland the Poliwrath (his other muscle for fighting) All his time is spent hunting for cryptids in the pokemon world, so basically he's looking for pokemon like Mew and all that even if he fails all the time.

Diana, the Ringmaster

She uses Bug and Psychic types with her group, she keeps a strict crew in this circus and doesn't make compromises Showstarter the Malamar (helps other acts stay in line with it's powers) trapezium the Spidops (usually found walking on it's webbing) Fire breath the Volcarona (is the one creating fires for others to jump through) Fortune teller, the Gothitelle (gives out fortunes to people but usually disturbing ones) Strongman the Gallade (the Muscles of the group when she needs it) Sword swallows the Scizor (She just has this one because it makes cutting things easier both people and tied up strings) All her Pokémon have a use in her circus, keeping it in shape while also being what she deems Elegant and graceful, and if not, well she has a Malamar for a reason. Daniel also is there and uses fighting types like Machamp

Patricia, the high-flying builder

Still the excitable and somewhat reckless, but now add in Rock and Flying types and you got someone who'd ram through a wall with a Rhyperior to make a point Condor the Archeops (Feathery friend for a girl) Freefall the Aerodactyle (Her tough friend from an old amber Ray got her) Kamikazee the Talonflame (She caught this one after it flew into her face when it was a Fletchinder) Bumper the Coalassoal (Ray had to make sure she had gear on when she rode this one as a carkoal) Carousel the Cradily (She likes this one to throw her around places, Ray has told her to stop doing that, she has not) Teacups the Tyrantrum (She revived it and it was a runt, but when it evolved it got bigger, to big to keep in the house, so Ray helped her build it a place to sleep in the yard). All but 2 of her team are fossils she revived, but most of the time she has fun with these guys, despite their tough and gruff exteriors, kind of like Ray (Btw Ray uses a Staraptor and Oricorio's)

Zane, The toy keeper

And last but not least, Zane, he calls his Pokemon his playmates, he specializes in Electric and Ice types (with 2 exceptions) but he generally likes them all Dolly the banette (Found this one abandoned at a dump and took it in, he helped it find vengeance and now it stays with him) Beanie the Mimikyu (Kept this one around and made toys to sell based around it, sticks close to his side) Wind up the Iron Bundle (No one knows where or how he got this thing but he has it) 2-XL the Rotom (Zane keeps this around to mess with his competitors in secret) Slinky the Eelektross (When he's feeling extra mean today) Jig doll the Mr.Rime (thinks it's funny and kept it around) Zane treats his Pokémon with care, but that type of care you would give to your prized toys, doesn't have much emotional attachment to them, but he likes them as much as his collection.

Finally got this done, maybe later I will do more stuff, I just will need to get arts of the sillies and maybe I can do a relationship chart.

[pokemonxhyperfixation]

Happy Birthday to me!

So, since today (When this goes up, I'm typing this a week in advanced so I don't forget lol) is my Birthday, I thought I outta do something a little silly!

Like a trainer card for my favorite Touhou Character! I was also doing a run of pokemon BW2 with this team, but kinda gave up on that outta boredom/wanting to do other things.

Politoed is here for its hidden ability, which is drizzle. While there are three drizzle mons, no way am I giving Kogasa a fucking Kyogre, so that just left Peli and Politoed, and Politoed is my favorite outta those two, so here they are. For reference btw, I feel like an umbrella having a rain setter makes sence because she would want to get used! Helps that I HC her as having both abandoment issues and a NEED to feel useful. (Both sourced from how the Youkai she is based on forms.)

Stoutland is the weakest link. I knew I wanted to give her an Intimidate mon, and frankly Stoutland was just the path of least resistence given that I was playing her in Gen 5. You could probably replace stoutland with any of the dogs with intimidate and it would work. (Most other intim mons are too mean for her. Except Incinroar, that could work I guess.)

Camerupt is here to serve as her forge! She is a blacksmith afterall, so having a volcano pokemon to serve as her forge felt right! Not much else to say about Camerupt really.

Golbat is basically meant to represent her actual umbrella because it kinda bares the closest resemblence. For reference, it's NOT a Crobat not due to lacking the friendship requirement, but due to Kogasa really just not battling enough for it to actually evolve.

So, I knew I wanted Kogasa to have a ghost type, both because she's kinda sorta not really a ghost herself and also because ghost types are usually up to similar shenanigans as her. Went with Rotom for a few reasons. First, Rotom's flavor of anticks felt most fitting for Kogasa. Second, I feel that since Rotom is possessing objects all the time and being used to power tools nowdays, I think Kogasa would get on well with one. and the third reason was that I also wanted her to have a thunder spammer because rain team and did this for role compression.

Last is Escavilier. I knew I wanted her to have a steel type because of the whole blacksmith thing. I actually went with Escavilier specifically because of how it is a steel type SPECIFICALLY because of it's equipment. I like the idea that instead of this Karablast evolving via attempted Shelment homicide, it evolved because Kogasa just made it the equipment!

[gabbies-eevee-emporium]

Hey so I found your blog a while ago and Keo (my vulpix) and I immediately started having a debate on Superstar's fur that has lasted a week by now. I think it's probably some odd natural pattern, Keo is convinced that it's dye but Superstar chose the pattern. Can you please resolve this for us?

Keo says hi to the eevees btw

@erik-candidinternational

The Eevees say hi back!! And as far as I'm aware, Superstar's fur is natural (I myself don't even know how to dye Pokémon's fur, just my hair qwq)

I did attach a video however!

[A video recorded on Gabbie's Rotom Phone. Gabbie is in the bathroom and waves at the camera. Superstar is sitting patiently in the bath. Her Trainer giggles nervously.

"Gosh I'm nervous now..."

A voice behind the phone chuckles.

"Chill it's fine." They reassure her

"Okay so..this is basically, uh, proof Superstar's fur isn't dyed" Gabbie continues. Superstar perks up when she hears her name.

"Ready Superstar?" Gabbie turns to the Eevee, who nods.

The girl grabs a bottle of Pokémon shampoo and gently rubs it into the Pokémon's fur. Then, she gets a shower head.

"You're gonna get yourself wet" the voice notes

"Shhhush!!" Gabbie replies putting the shower on the lowest setting and applying it to Superstar. Nothing seems to wash off of the Eevee, but she is very soggy now. Gabbie turns the shower off.

"So uh- that's that!" Gabbie smiles. The phone turns around to show Liam was the person behind the camera.

"Like and subscribe for more Minecraft let's plays." they joke.

"Liamm!!" Gabbie giggle-yells off camera before Liam ends the video]

[thealolanchamp]

¡Introduction post!

Alola! First post here! In case you do not know me, I am Apoālewa, Champion of Alola! If my name is too difficult to pronounce that's ok, You can call me Dugga!

Here are my current pokemon with some info!

Evo the Sylveon, he's my service pokemon that helps me keep in check and ensure I'm under control of myself, he's an absolute sweetheart! He was a gift from my older half sister when I first met her(she had to adopt me after some unfortunate things that happened to me, I do not wish to say what exactly)

Mr.Squirt("lil Mister") the Primarina, my Ace in battle, he's been with me since I started my Island trials, as you can tell I was not the best at names when I was younger. He's quite a calm, gentle pokemon who enjoys his naps. He's also quite the Peirs enjoyer, you should see him make his way into whatever room has that guy's music playing!

Midnight the Lycanroc, you can guess by the name what variant of lycanroc she is lol, she's the playfully rough kind of pokemon, always nibbling on me or my clothes, rubbing her rocky parts on stuff(lost so much furniture to her). She's also what i like to call a "screamer", basically she doesn't bark, woof, ruff none of that, but SCREAMS like a bolthound that found something(usually at the late hours of the night too)

Jell-o the (shiny) Goodra, my only shiny pokemon, I found him as a goomy during a pause of rain near Po town I think, poor thing was dry from the sun:(, i got him near a shaded puddle and began to leave, but he refused to leave my side hehe, he's also caused a lot of furniture problems, he's joyfully lazy and he won't leave my chairs alone(goodra slime is hard to get out of fabric, worse is that stuff bleaches)

E ("Esper") the Espeon, a absolutely amazing if not shy companion, I got her after seeing an ad from a shelter about an eevee(her) that was used for shiny breeding and needed a home. I feel so happy that she felt safe enough around me to evolve into such a friendship related evolution. She surprisingly great in battle, the pokemon center said if mist be therapeutic for her(i make sure shes ok before and after every battle don't worry)

Mocha the (alolan) Raichu, probably my most food motivated pokemon😅, you shake a bag of food and he comes zooming, also no one told me the move Electric Terrain made them surf faster! He had to go to the pokemon center because he zoomed indoor and hit a wall🤦‍♂️(he's ok btw, happened several months ago)

Aohd(pronounced "ay") the Volcanrona, had no clue that Volcanronas are rare in Alola until guzma lost his shit at the sight of her as a Larvesta, she tends to lounge about ouside when not battling, soaking up the sun. Also I recommend to anyone thinking of having a Volcanrona to have a large backyard with easy access to sunlight and plenty vegetation, I've learned it's vital for their diets(just a tip)

Chase the Gardevoir, not my pokemon but my sister's, she(chase) is essentially a caregiver since Kahu(my sister) left for Paldea some time ago for education purposes, she helps me with chores and errands, she also speaks via ASL(Alolan Sign Language), I pretty much look up to her as a mother figure. Not sure where exactly she came from as Kahu found her as a Ralts on Poni island and apparently the Ralts line don't reside in Alola.

Rotom-Dex the Rotom, can't forget one of the most helpful pokemon I have! They were quite chatty too after they learned they can talk with the pokedex they possess, they're quite well trained for their job too! Always giving me needed tidbits about for forgettable pokemon so i won't falter in battle! Even though they don't battle themselves, they're quite vital to my job as champion!

¡Update!

So it seems I have been transported to the past via otherworldly means and now I have to make a new team for myself to ensure saftey, i currently have-

Mr.Squirt("lil Mister), he was one of the only two pokemon that came with me unfortunately, he's still the same ol' Primarina

"Arc-Dex"(RotomDex), Rotom, they started calling themselves that after I woke up in hisui, they resemble Akari's "ArcPhone", some modified phone. They still do not battle.

Ghostface the Cyndaquil, the professor here, Laventon gave her to me to ensure I learn of the "Hisuian" veriants of pokemon here, apparently she'll become a ghost type but i remember them being pure fire type, this may be interesting.

Anyways welcome to my blog, hope this wasn't too long! Don't be scared to ask questions!

[itzphynix]

An April Fool's hoax in 2005 on the now the now-defunct website Pokelord.com featured this fabricated scan, proposing it to be an official magazine announcement of a port for Hey You! Pikachu! to the DS. This, ultimately, was admitted to have been a fake, but at the time, it generated a bit of hype, particular because of the "new" blue pokemon featured, Korechu!

Korechu isn't real, but is widely speculated to have inspired the Gen 4 pokemon, Shinx, as well as the rest of the line.

[deflatedrock]

Lemon Eyes Part 1

I haven't written an x reader in so long, so I'm rusty. Gender Neutral reader btw. Also this 100% has some self indulgence aspects in it, this is a self insert blog after all. Pretty much follows the main game, it ended up taking a mind of its own because of the amount of times I had to pause writing to focus on school lmao. It doesn't matter for this fic series but Imma put it here anyways: I believe Arven to be around late 18 or early 19 range. Now that that's over with, let's get to the fic ! Words: 2,077 ----

Arven was never really a character of interest to you. Well, he was. Fighting titan Pokemon for their Herba Mystica–a name straight out of Minecraft Botania in your opinion–to make new recipes for food? Okay, you were mainly zoning out when he was talking to you, and again when he explained it when he, Nemona, and Cassotepia were fighting over your attention. A strawman fallacy out of your mind. Your plan for this treasure hunt was to capture all the other Pokemon in Paldea’s dex, being too lazy to do so in your home region. Paldea is a smaller piece of land anyways (A/N: in my opinion), so completing the 400 dex shouldn’t be too hard. 

Well, it wouldn’t be if you didn’t actually have to listen to those three; Using Operation Star to give your Pokemon more battle experience and using the gym challenge to capture more experienced Pokemon. Such a hassle. And before you knew it, La Primera was scouting you for the champion league. You might as well have done a favor for Arven, it's been about a week since the treasure hunt and he’s asked for your help. 

Which leads you to where you are now. Having fought off the Stony Cliff Titan, Kawlf, with Buizel and Arven’s Shellder as the first titan before now facing off against Dondozo, the false titan dragon, and final titan. Your goal of pursuing the full Pokedex on the back burner once Arven revealed his motive for gathering the Herba Mystica. You felt bad for ignoring his favor the first week of the treasure hunt, thinking about Mabosstiff in pain this entire time.

It doesn’t matter now, as your Toxtricity lands the finishing blow on the mini titan and Arven pats you on the back. You brush off the feelings of butterflies that rush to your stomach, chasing off the childish feeling as you follow him inside the cavern. Staring at the ground, you can’t exactly recall how it happened: falling for him. Maybe it was when you were in your dorm, exhausted from speedrunning all your classes to get back to your goals–scrolling through your Rotom phone for pictures to delete. Landing on the photos you had with Arven and you making sandwiches out of the herbs, noticing how much fun he was having even if the sandwich wasn’t as good as the two of you weren’t expecting. It made your chest feel fuzzy. You favorited a few and put them in an album, just in case you want to look back on memories. 

You found yourself often tracing around his face whenever you took a stroll down memory lane.

Maybe it was when you both had Home Economics together. Seeing him turn around and give you a smile with a thumbs up whenever you answered Professor Saguaro’s questions. Causing you to give a slight smile back before busying yourself with your doodles so you could avoid the heat rushing to your ears. Until finals, you couldn’t help but spare a few glances at him. At least it never affected your studies.

Well, the teachers noticed to say the least. You’ve always underestimated how obvious student crushes are to teachers, but not to peers. Visiting during their free time, only for the conversation to only subtly turn to Arven as your glances appeared to older adults as puppy gazes. You really have to keep that in check. Luckily, you always got what you needed out of the conversation class wise. Law of equivalent exchange because it's something for them to take back to their colleagues.

The interaction with History Professor Raifort was especially embarrassing, however. It revealed more than you would have liked when you approached her after class about the Scarlet Book, wanting to know more about the King’s tale. You remembered as her eyebrow went up, relaying the information that it has been checked out for quite a while and you must have known who has it because you spend your treasure hunt time with him. You felt your ears reach the point where the heat of them is visible to others, Ms. Raifort attempted to hide a chuckle beneath her hand. You thanked her for the information and quickly left.

You didn’t expect the teachers to learn how you dismissed Arven when you first met him, and it was through some shared experience that you have fallen this hard down the stairs of a crush. And the millions of ways the teachers’ minds could think of what that experience was keeps you up at night (of course, nothing too out there, mainly getting stuck somewhere for a long time. Nothing that crossed the boundaries of a teacher being pulled into the lives of their students). All because you fell for the boy who wants to heal his partner Pokemon.

“Hey bud? You haven’t taken a bite out of the sandwich, did I mess it up somehow?”

You blinked back into reality. Looking up from your sandwich that you don’t remember making with Arven, you felt pinned by his eyes as you tried to come up with an explanation that’s not ‘I think I love you’. You shook your head in response. Telling him that you just noticed how Koraidon hasn’t come out to eat your food yet, which speak of the devil, gets said Pokemon to come out of its ball.

Arven, of course, brings out the extra sandwich he begrudgingly made in this event, tossing it to Koraidon who ate it without a second thought. Both of your faces contort a bit, seeming to share the same question of  ‘did it even chew?’. After that animalistic scene, Arven brought out Mabosstiff, who looked much better than he had the first time you saw him. You felt awkward, mainly because it was such an intimate moment and you were nervous that the build up of anticipation would get to the poor canine, so you looked away as he ate. 

You looked back once he finished, watching in hope that he’d get up, do something other than lay down. Though, you understood it was a selfish desire soon after the thought came to mind. Arven’s face dropped as did yours as you both understood that even the Herba Mysticas couldn’t heal Mabosstiff. Scrambling for words to say, scouring your brain for comfort words, you held your tongue. It was best to let Arven silently express his disappointment to the wall. The pokeball fell, and you took a second before you sighed, getting up to go hand it over to Arven. But, your eyes widened as Mabosstiff lifted his head, beginning to put one leg up at a time. Your eyes meeting Arven’s as he had turned around to go to pick up the pokeball up as well, hope holding out for the two of you. You covered your mouth as Mabosstiff went over to pick up the ball, lifting it up towards Arven as his tail wagged. Arceus, you were tearing up. You couldn’t help but wrap an arm around Koraidon as Arven was overjoyed with the recovery of his partner Pokemon. After a good five minutes of joy, your Rotom phone began to ring. Rotom flew up to your face, answering the call and you were greeted by Professor Sada and her analysis on Koraidon’s abilities. You glanced at Arven, whose face was a mixture of surprise and anger, even more so when she implied it was she who lent you Koraidon. You shifted awkwardly in place, knowing that it was Arven who battled you to see if you were worthy in the first place. The mystery of the relationship of the two grew more as Professor Sada was surprised to hear his voice and recalled her efforts to contact him to which Arven rolled his eyes and showed little interest. It would have been a moment of brief empathy from you to Sada if she didn’t completely trash it by saying she needed him to get into her lab. But get into her lab…? The only one? Surely she would’ve had others to also have access to her lab. And why Arven? Well– that question felt more explanatory. They both resembled each other in many visual aspects, so you had assumed he was related to her in a way.

Your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the call ending, blinking at the black screen. You weren’t paying attention again. Great. It didn’t matter as you looked up at Arven, confirming that yes, Professor Sada is his mother. “She was never at home with me, I haven’t seen her in years! And the first thing she wants out of me is to go to her lab?!” You gave him an empathetic look as he decompressed, thinking to himself. He sighed, and before you could console him about the matter, about to tell him that the two of you didn’t have to go to her lab and could just ignore her, he started talking again. “I might as well get you into that lab, the one off of Poco Path. That’s where we met, remember?” You smiled slightly at the last part, nodding, giving him a small, “Of course I do.”

That got him to smile a bit as well, announcing that the two of you should get going before he changes his mind. You started to walk off, Arven pausing, but you assumed it was to decompress further. Oh Professor Sada, where are you?

It’s safe to say that the moment you see the Professor, instead of greeting her in a friendly way, you might just throw a right hook at her instead. 

Listening to Arven and seeing her reaction of seeing her son after so many years only to call him to the deepest part of the most dangerous place in all of Paldea? Arceus, Arven was right (although you never doubted him), she was the worst parent. She definitely rivals the one lady in the Alolan region you had heard about. You weren’t sure you even wanted to go. But you could tell that even if he didn’t know it yet, Arven wanted closure about his mom’s disappearance and neglect. So when he asked if you were going to Area Zero, you said yes. What caught you off guard was the glare he had given you, even if you understood he was in an emotionally vulnerable state. Ouch. But he did agree to go, and he was 100% pumped up to start a fist fight with his mom, even if he only spoke daggers instead of throwing them. With that, he challenged you to a Pokemon battle, admitting it was to see if he was ready or not, causing a slight blow of air to come out of your nose. Your best friend was a dork.

You lagged behind to look over the lab while he headed outside, both to appeal to your curiosity and to push your feelings back down further. His glare wasn’t personal, but it felt that way. He probably felt a bit betrayed by your response no doubt, originally wanting nothing to do with his mother, and yet here his best friend was, seemingly compliant with being an errand boy. You leaned against the dusty couch, watching the dust particles rush to fill the air. Immediately getting back up and dusting yourself, you don’t know why you expected the couch to be worth leaning against. 

You started walking around the lab. Examining everything of interest to get your mind off your internal battle. If abandoning her child wasn’t proof enough to show how dedicated her research was, then surely the mess of papers and a hundred or so books definitely was. You thought about taking down the boxes on top of the shelf, but decided against it. You’d get lost in her research, trying to figure out what was so important that Arven had to be collateral damage.

All this made you feel worse for neglecting him at the start of the treasure hunt, but there’s nothing you could do about the past. Besides, you’re making up for it now by being there for him, aren’t you?

Cracking your neck, you headed for the door, taking a breath–cough because of the dust after–you stepped out. Looking at Arven as he redirects his attention from Mabosstiff to you, smiling at him and nodding, Arven returns your actions. All because of a boy and his partner Pokemon.

i’m curious: what do you think the twst dorm leaders would specialize in if they were a gym leader?

to me, some are kinda obvious—like vil and poison, malleus and dragon/fairy, azul and water, etc. though some i can’t really pin on :/

like kalim—i keep changing up what i would choose. is he fire? rock? i try to not repeat the types but briefly thought about water considering his signature spell. (btw, jamil and psychic would work so well, especially considering his fear of bugs hehe)

sorry if this was strange to ask/out of nowhere, i saw your post where you sorta brought up a twst x pokemon thing and kinda wanted to jump in •v•

Hm, I want to give Riddle the obvious with fire but I'm also feeling a grass typing for this dorm. When I think of him, the first two I think of are Rapidash (for his club) and Roserade (obviously for the rose theme).

With Leona and his dorm, I'm thinking more ground/rock types but he has to have a lion so maybe Pyroar and a Nidoking (king, get it?).

Azul obviously water types, so like a Tentacruel/Octillery and also something completely different so he can throw people off in battle.

Kalim absolutely should have an Oshawott, don't care if it's a water type. For some reason I want to give his dorm flying types? But I feel like ground or rock types could work just as well, since that's what mostly appears in deserts. Bravery works well, because it's a flying type that appears in the desert, and I think it kinda fits him.

Pomefiore is poison, as you said but Vil definitely deserves a Milotic because of their beauty and throw in a Salazzle or a Nidoqueen.

Ignihyde strikes me as dark types or electric types so maybe Idia with like Morgrem who like people with gloomy thoughts or a handy one like Rotom that's good with electronics.

Malleus and Diasomnia? Give them dragon types. Dragon types used to be the most overpowered typing until fairy was added. Maybe sprinkle in a fairy or two. I'm thinking Haxorus and Alcremie (looks like ice cream).

[gotta-pet-em-all]

Update! For the duration of my Pasio trip, I'm going to have my partners on the blog with me! I've copied their introductions, just to have them all in one place.

Oh tits this is a thing now I moderately forgot and then fell asleep.

Uuuuuuuhhhh hi hello rotomblr blog I've seen on my partners phone and assorted shenanigans I've heard in passing! You've seen me a tiny bit before but I'm scampering on here proper for this little trip.

You can call my Myth or Mythsremix that's my fuckin. Hoopa nickname dfjkghdkfjdf. I'm a history and mythology nerd.

My pokemon are:

Avalon, an absol. She's my starter! Serious natured and quiet, loves to get critical hits oh my god. Absolute mad-woman.

Priden, little shit of a shiny sylveon. Spoiled lil bastard but did you know that the ability pixelate can make hyper beam fairy type?

Echo, a wonderful and very hyperactive noivern. She's a little small for a noivern but she's doing great. Loves a good treat.

Tresvivi, an old hydregion. Don't be alarmed by her scarring, she's a total sweetheart. Strong as hell but mostly a contest mon (and WINNER) these days. Pampered beyond belief.

Rishiri, a gastrodon (pink one- I don't remember if it's east or west I mix them up all the damn time). She's a sleepy ol gal, loves to loaf about.

Sirius, a rotom. Xyr a mischievous little bastard that I found within an old, abandoned building deep in the woods near where I lived. Likes to hide in my poketch, may end up popping in from time to time. [HIHIHIHIHIHIHI] speak of the ghost lmao.

Sometime my team is joined by an unofficial other member, but they march to the beat of a different drum. Maybe they'll come by, maybe not.

Oh yeah I'm fi/fir btw I almost forgot, my brain is everywhere at the moment.

hey there, weird multidimensional Rotomblr! since you know Fluff by that name, you can call me... Pine!

uhhh what do I put here... Fluff what did you put here...

well, I'm Sinnohan, always have been. she/her, I'm studying to become a Pokemon Professor (part of why I went for a tree name, lol) and I do enjoy battling on the side, though I don't do as much as I used to.

some mons you're likely to see from me:

Zero, my boy, my Glaceon, my starter. he is a Cold Boi and loves snuggles, which is great in the summertime and not so great when it's really cold outside even by my standards.

Kira, Infernape, originally got him as a Chimchar from my mentor when I was supposed to just watch him for the weekend, but he got attached. and I got attached. and then my mentor laughed at me and went, well, looks like you have two pokemon now!

Hertz, Electivire, was once just a little guy who loved eating electricity and then evolved into an adrenaline junkie who loves running around outside during thunderstorms and trying to get lightning to strike him.

Sharpe, Nidoqueen, affectionately called Nidomom by the three of us and also our other partner's little sister. (not to be confused with Dinomom, an Aurorus that kind of adopted my older sister.) if she decides you are having a bad day and need hugs from Nidomom, you will be getting hugs from Nidomom. do not resist.

Mars, Gyarados, originally named after an archaic god of war... shortly before the Galactic Incident and me realizing that maybe I should have gone for a different name. ironically, he's very chill for a Gyarados.

Lavender (or just Lav), Haunter, just in it for the chaos. licky girl. (she no longer knows the move Lick, so she's less likely to paralyze us by slobbering over us, which is probably for the best...)

Sappho, Kabuto who hasn't been with me anywhere near as long as the others have, but the people at the Oreburgh Museum asked so nicely if we were willing to take some fossil mons off their hands, I really couldn't say no, and she earned her nickname... pretty fast. like, within about five minutes fast.

I'm very excited for the trip, personally! (and if it ends up being too hot on Pasio, well... I've got a Cold Boi.)

Intro post

Hello everyone! You can call me Fluff, after my old warrior skitty sona Fluffstep. I’m…not really sure what else to put here. Unovan-born, Sinnohan, and disabled. She/her pronouns please, TERFs are not welcome, and I’m something of a pan disaster. I like media analysis in my free time, and I’m a softie who wants to pet all the pokemon in the world, even the scary or dangerous ones. Feel free to send me pics of your pokemon if you’d like to be friends, but please note that I have some issues with fire and would prefer not to be sent pictures of flames in any capacity.

My pokemon friends consist of:

Lola, my alomomola. I was like seven when I named her that, and she’s my dearest and oldest friend.

Sakurako, my cherrim. She’s a little grumpy and craves sunlight a lot, but I do my best to take care of her!

Leo, my lopunny. He’s a dramatic little guy who I fed when he was just a buneary, and then he kept coming back and uh. Well I have a lopunny now!

Riza, my pachirisu! Yes I named her after my gay crush from Fullmetal Alcremie. I think she’s a teenager or thereabouts, and she’s a very sweet, energetic, snuggly girl.

Walpurgisnacht, my spiritomb. Nacht uses she/they and is rather ominous, but I know they care for me a lot, and have a strong sense of justice!

Madeline, my rapidash. Yes, I know what I said about open flames, but this is a personal matter. I’m working on managing my triggers so that I can take care of the pokemon who take such good care of me.

Anomalocaris, or just Cari, my togetic! She’s baby and I love her and I wish she would stop trying to eat rocks.

Edit: yes, I was a former member of Team Plasma. I’m still recovering from that, and it’s a bit of a sensitive subject.
