Merry Christmas + happy holidays @askpokepals!!!

(writing under cut! it turned out longer than intended ngl)

“Gah!”

A piece of paper flutters in the wind, smacking Sarah in the face. She quickly skims it over, “A wishlist?”

She looks up, watching a Hoopa’s ring shimmer away, and back to Hugh and Sparkle, who are battling fine together. “They won’t miss me for like an hour, will, they?”

Pulling out her aerodactyl Wyvern’s pokeball, she tosses him out and they fly off.

“Let’s see, something to decorate a clubhouse and something from a band…” She checks her phone’s map, “Wow, we’re almost in Galar! You’re a fast flier, bud!” Wyvern trills in agreement.

She stops at a store and picks up a pack of fairy lights, ones that twinkle between light shades of pink, blue, and purple. She also grabs a poster featuring Piers.

Sending out Wyvern again, she mounts his back. “To Spikemuth, Wyvern!”

“Sarah! Good to see ya.”

“Hi, Piers!”

He puts his phone in his pocket and ruffles her head affectionately, “How’s the Alola region treatin’ ya?”

“It’s been really nice! Everyone there is so relaxed, you know.”

“Heh, I figured. You run into Uncle Grimsley yet?”

“Yeah! He and Uncle Lucian are with Aunt Lusamine right now.”

“‘Right. Wish ‘im well from me ‘n Marnie, kay?”

She beams at her friend, “You got it!” She digs into her bag, pulling out the rolled up poster. “Could you do something for me, actually?”

“‘Course. Want that signed?”

“Yes.” She hands him the poster as he takes a black marker out from his pocket. “It’s for someone’s Christmas wishlist.”

“Ain’t it a bit early for that?”

“Yeah well,” She thinks for a second. “It’s probably from another universe or something.”

“Figures,” He scribbles his signature and hands the poster back. “I’ll never understand ‘em.”

Sarah checks her phone, “Oh shoot, I’ve gotta get going. Thanks a lot, Piers!”

“Cheers, Sarah. Was good to catch up.”

“Aunt Lusamine!” She bursts into the woman’s office, causing her to shut the holographic screens around her desk.

“Sarah! What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, nothing.” She takes a deep breath, having dashed through Aether Paradise. “I wanted to know where you keep your wrapping paper?”

“Wrapping paper? Oh, for a present right?” She chuckles, “You bought a present for Rose and Giovanni’s wedding?”

“What? No. Actually maybe I should… But no. It’s a Christmas present.”

“Oh! Well we do have the materials, but I’m not certain we have any Christmas colors.”

“That’s fine! Just tell me where it is and I’ll get out of your hair!”

“They should be somewhere in the main entrance, probably around the desks.”

“Thanks, Aunt Lusamine!”

“Good luck, Sarah.”

“Hi, Uncle Lucian! Uncle Grimsley!”

She drops a bunch of materials, including a roll of wrapping paper and a spool of ribbon, across from them.

“Hey, Sarah.” Grimsley looks at the things she’s tossed on the table, “You’ve been busy, huh?”

“Yeah! I’ve been working on someone’s wishlist in an alternate universe!”

“That’s quite nice of you.” Lucian hardly looks up from the book he’s reading.

“Do you guys think I should write a card?” She doesn’t give them time to answer, “Oh Uncle Grimsley! Piers and Marnie say hi!”

“You saw Piers?” He checks his phone, “Only in the last hour?”

“Yep. Wyvern’s an alpha and flies really fast.”

“Wyvern?”

Lucian smiles, “Her aerodactyl.”

“Hm, that makes sense. I saw you flying around earlier…”

Sarah pulls a card out of her bag, one featuring a litten and a rockruff in Santa hats. 

Dear Ninasha,

Merry Christmas! Or happy holidays!

I hope you like what I got you! I wasn’t sure which band you liked, but I got this poster of my good friend Piers! He signed it and everything! It might be weird if you’re not a human, because he’s a human, but that should be fine, right?

Hope you like both things!

Love, Sarah

She places the card on the lights and speedily wraps and ties a ribbon around them. She makes sure to also tie a ribbon around the poster and add a tag.

Soon, the portal shimmers into existence above her, and she tosses both things in.

Sarah returns back outside, returning to her previous position. It’s almost like she never left at all.

Rimi calls the gang once again to show something.

Guys guys! Look what I got...

Ooh, what is it Rimey?

You won't believe it, but we got a photo charm! Let me show ya...

W-wow, this is...a-amazing *sob*...

Noelle smiles with a tears. Edin comforts her.

Well, I think they did amazing job on us. So, who did this job?

Oh, a Nidorina, I forgot her name. Ninasha or somethin' I dunno...

Well, it's amazin' to have a gift like this. So, what do we do with it?

I have an idea. Let's wear it one by one. First me, then Noey, and Edin at last.

Sounds good.

Rimi, Noelle, and Edin's the Virbank Baddies charm has been added to their inventories, as they will wear it one by one.

[@askpokepals] Jasper @ Apolly: Nice of ya to chat with me the other day! During that chat, I couldn't help but think of something. You seem a bit.. Different from other Jirachis; I find that really cool, actually! Hope you don't mind me asking, but why's that? Curious, that's all!

(continued from here)

Ah yes. The wrestler. While Apolly found it nice that she enjoyed talking with them, the nature of her question was one they were surprised no one had inquired on first.

"I'm glad." The jirachi sounded neutral as usual. Why they looked different was a question that never sounded good to be asked. To them, it usually brought to mind how people asked previously.

Why is your head so lumpy?

What's with the teeth?

Can you change your tassels?

Thankfully, the archivist knew the incineroar's question was not out of malice. It was even sensitively worded, unlike many before her.

"The answer is simple to say, but the details are complicated. I was not originally a jirachi. I was a different pokemon previously."

This gave the jirachi a cheeky idea. Now it was their turn to ask the question.

"What pokemon do you think I was?", the jirachi put their hands behind their back and swayed in the air. "I'll narrow it down somewhat. I am not one that many classify as legendary."

(@askpokepals) Skarla: "Heya, I just thought aboot stopping by to say hello to all the wonderful mon in this university, and ye got quite the university alright! How many departments do ye have?" @ Marcin

" Theres a huge range of programs here so it’d be a lot of work naming them all. I can give a bit of a brief rundown though…"

"Harmonia over the years became more of a technology oriented school. There, we've got the engineering department, which includes all sorts of different branches like software, computer, mechanical, chemical, all the like."

"During the human era, Harmonia was actually most known for its biology programs! So there's a lot of departments within biology, there's anatomty, cellular biology, type studies, neuroscience, evolution science...and tons of others."

"See thats already starting to pile up. Theres the other sciences, like chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science. We’ve even got some more specialized programs like earth and planetary sciences, geology, atmospheric and ocean sciences. Oh, and not to mention everything that's in the faculty of arts. You know, stuff like linguistics, history, political science, and the like. The school also offers programs in education, battle studies, music, law, business, theres probably a whole lot more than that too.”

"Theres just so much to discover and learn about, its always so hard for students to just pick something they like right off the bat. Haha. I dont blame em!"

Ninasha @ Lief: So yeah, that's how I got ahold of this bracelet! By the way.. She reaches into her bag and pulls out a small bag of chips. Want some chips? I got plenty for everyone! If chips aren't your thing, what other foods do you like?

[ continued from here ; @pokepalsarchive / @askpokepals ]

Lief: "Chips? Never seen 'em like this before..."

With a quizzical expression, he leaned in to examine the bag of chips. His antennae give a light wiggle as he did.

Lief: "Ok, not smelling any meat this time. Looks promising already."

He stood straighter with a smile, taking the bag with both paws.

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief, a hybrid of Sylveon and Ribombee, with a mono-color background. He is shown from the neck up, with his face slightly angled away from the viewer towards the left. He looks fairly casual, or otherwise relaxed. A cheeky smile, reminiscent of the ":3" emoticon, is present on his face. End ID ]

Lief: "Honestly, I'm not picky about what I eat. Part of that is due to living in the Wilds all my life, where you can't exactly choose to be picky... but I guess I'm what some would call a vegetarian. I refuse to eat meat."

He tried pretty hard to hide how the very notion actively, seriously, grossed him out. He now focused his efforts on trying to open the bag of chips.

Lief: "But, some of the treats the townies make aren't all bad, either. Like, those fancy desserts and stuff. Even the basic stuff like bread, or jam."

Still he was trying to tear it open. He couldn't quite get a good grip with his paws.

Lief: "Even some of the stuff here has been pretty delicious. I'm more than impressed..."

He was starting to look somewhat frustrated at this point. He still couldn't quite open it.

Naomi aproached Wo; despite being intimitaded by his size, she isn't afraid, but rather curious. "Woah.. That's a lot of moss..." she said to herself in awe. She had mustered up the courage to ask a burning question. "Have you ever had flowers grow on you? I'm just curious, that's all!"

Wo: "I have had many different flowers grow on my body form. It mainly happens in the spring months too. The flowers usually fall out in the summer, but that is when I plant them to let them continue growing."

Wo: (after noticing the Wooloo plush) "May I ask about your plush friend? I haven't seen that Pokemon before, and I'm quite curious."

(@askpokepals) Skarla @ Helix: Heya, I can see that yer a Deoxys judgin from the color scheme! Is it truu that yer're from the cosmos, from ooter space? If so that moost be so cool!

“Nope, not a Deoxys. I’m a mimikyu with a love for costumes.” Helix chuckled at that as they shrugged.

“Space is cool, but I haven’t really seen much of it myself. Sorry.”

There was a spooky vibe however as a dragon found him.

“There you are creepy one.”

Ninasha @ Athena: "Feeling honest, are we? Ok, how about this..."

"Who is someone you pretend to like, but in reality, you don't want to be around?" "Oh, by the way! Take a look at this!" she says as she shows Athena a photo on her Rotom Phone.

Athena let's out a somewhat guggle from the photo- Before answering..

"Oh well there's quote a lot of people I pretend o like when they are around.. But one person I HATE in the most absolute universe and I NEVER want to be around... Would have to be this mon.. Esmerus.. He's such a stuck of little BRAT! Ugh I just despise him so much... But I must do what I must do to keep others happy I suppose..."

[@askpokepals] Ninasha @ Magi: Just curious, what's your favourite spooky prank to pull on people? Trying to find some ideas for later, heheh!

Magi: oh yeah, got plenty of them actually, they're all in this list labeled "Things Magi is no longer allowed to do"! Let me read a few of them:

45. Due to the Krabby-stuffed mushroom incident, Magi is not allowed to create anything for potlucks

Magi: Ah, classic, what else...

76. Due to an ongoing cognetohazard, Magi is not allowed to sing "Titanium" to any of my co-workers. > (Not because of a hatred for Sia, though that could also contribute to it)

Magi: Oh, Victor wrote this one, let's see what it was-

96. Magi, Dr. Shaw's name is not Dr. Bright, we cannot refer to him as such for a variety of reasons we do not wish to get into

Magi: ...yeah, let's not do that one, actually. Umm... what else is there-

Anna: GIVE ME THAT!

Anna appears next to Magi and grabs the list from him, she then scribbles an entry into the list

135. Magi is not allowed to encourage people to do anything on this list

Magi: Buzzkill!

Skarla: "So word from the HQ says yu guys wiped out humanity in a large war. How does that piece of historeh still affect ya? Do any of ya feel regret for what your ancestors have done? Do ya plan to resurrect humanity should yu discover some sorta scientific achievement in the future?"

Here's the response from our mystery history professor:

Hey Skarla, thanks for the message! Yes, that would be the case. It's complicated. There's a good amount of us who feel some sort of regret for the humans' extinction. Honestly, if we had evolved in the way we did without all that mess happening, we would've been living peacefully together. But it didn't, you can't change the past, it is what it is.

Bringing back humans would have a ginormous impact at this stage; the current world is so Pokemon-oriented it would take a while for humans to adjust and get themselves together. Aside from that, there's still a good amount of Pokemon who are alright with humans not existing anymore. Don't want another extinction happening anytime soon!
