#but milo is very very lucky that the subway twins were the ones to introduce them to pokemon and battling

[astrocassette]

LOVE Milo’s design omg!! Wondering, what would their Pokemon battle quotes be? Things like victory, defeat, their Pokemon landing a super effective hit, their Pokemon taking a super effective hit, Pokemon on low HP, Pokemon fainting, low HP victory, stuff like that?

WAH thank you!! most of their outfit comes directly from my own closet, ahah! (*^▽^*) that's what they were wearing when they got isekai-ed. :] they do end up with more outfits for other situations but i haven't decided on them yet

and OOOHH that's a good question!!

when talking to people, something funny with them is that you can definitely tell who taught them galarian because of their word choice and occasional use of train metaphors. it also shows in how they approach battling: with cheer and encouragement towards their opponent!

challenged: oh!! you want to battle? cool, yeye, full steam ahead! do your best!

victory: [gasps, lights up] i... hahah! thank you, that was a great battle! let's do it again sometime!

defeat: ah! [sighs, smiling] bravo, that was very fun! thank you!

low hp victory: ...hoo! that was close! you and your team did a really good job! (internally making a deflating balloon squeak noise)

where they speak to their opponents in either galarian or kantonese, milo actually speaks to their pokemon in english! it seems pokemon can understand their trainers no matter what language they speak. in battle tho, milo's not super wordy but they're definitely reactive. when things are going well there's lots of "yes!" and "WOO!!", when things are precarious their go-to is "you got this, bud!", and when things are going badly they'll hiss/wince in sympathy of heavy hits, and offer comfort and reassurances when calling their pokemon back.

outside of battle milo is definitely the kind to talk to their pokemon like people/pets. doesn't really babytalk, but will sing silly songs to them when no one is around and have conversations with them :]
