#leave pawmot alone

[camping-with-monsters]

It actually baffles me that people actually complained about like. “Back in my day, Pokemon used to actually evolve! Now they just get… bigger!!” to gen 9 Pokémon, specifically Pawmi/Pawmo/Pawmot.

May I kindly remind you of these two fucks from your precious, most prized, and innocent generation 1 who could absolutely never do you wrong?

Anyways L + Ratio + 0 Revival Blessing PP + I’m hitting you with a Tera Electric Double Shock

notes

people tend to assume that house's ace is one of his 'cooler' pokemon - zoroark, toxtricity - but it's really audino. can mega evolve and everything. he loves throwing people off by bringing him out when running diagnostics (audino have excellent hearing; his can detect heart issues typically only found through invasive testing)

cuddy's hatterene HATES house. and he knows it. if threats of clinic duty doesn't get him to leave her alone when he's bothering her, she'll threaten to get hatty out, and hatty has NO qualms about beating the fuck out of him

wilson doesn't bring absol out at work. with his profession and the species' reputation as doombringers, it wouldn't exactly be a comforting sight. he doesn't even really remember how he acquired her, nor does he know that she's not concerned about his cancer patients but for him.

taub hardly trains his pokemon, making him the most unready for battle of everyone listed.

kutner and his pawmot get into many defibrillator adventures (accidents)!!! quagsire, being water/ground, is unaffected and therefore happily takes up the task of putting out fires when needed :DD

MHA Pokémon Trainers: Katsuki (mostly)

So, this Would Not leave me alone, so! Some general thoughts on Pokémon I think Katsuki could have! (I’m assuming this is TransFem Katsuki, so, working with that!)

Mankey > Primeape > Anniliape - This one, I actually see as her starter/first partner. Like, she WANTS one of the kick ass, fancy starters other people get, but she ends up with a Mankey. I can see it’s honestly what her parents get for her OR before she’s officially old enough to have her own Pokémon, she befriends a wild Mankey … by beating each other up. Keep in mind, in Pokémon world, humans are more durable than we are (due to genetics, cartoon physics, also shit like Aura, and psychic powers), so little Katsuki fighting a Pokémon to a standstill is not ACTUALLY out of the realm of possibility. They end up fighting a lot, and eventually develop mutual respect and friendship. There’s probably some middle bits, but basically, Katsuki comes home one day with a Mankey - “Hey, Mom, Dad, this is Nukey, short Nuclear Disaster, he knows Fire Punch and Overheat, and he’s staying with me.” (Yes, those are moves they can eventually learn)

Typhlosion - Katsuki’s starter, is she doesn’t have Mankey. Or maybe she has both? Mankey she just brings home one day, Cyndaquil she gets from the Professor when she’s old enough (Sidenote: Who’s the Professor? My immediate thoughts are Nezu, but I actually see him as a Mew masquerading as a Human … which, never mind, maybe it is Nezu. Or maybe the Shields.)

Voltorn/Electrode - This just feels too obvious, almost. Though, you could make it interesting, by having them maybe be the Hisuian versions?

Magikarp/Feebas - I can definitely see Katsuki eventually getting one or both of these. The Magikarp/Garaydos I feel is obvious, but the Feebas/Milotic I feel could work too, especially because Milotic is a fairly “Feminine” Pokémon, but still kicks all kinds of ass. Not sure, though. Especially because, compared to Magikarp, Feebas are extremely hard to find, train, and evolve, so by comparison, it would be easier to get a Magikarp.

Eevee - I want to give her a Flareon, but then, I feel like Eevee probably isn’t really Katsuki’s style? Plus, I see it as too Shoto (Kanto Vulpix, Alolan Vulpix, Glaceon, Flareon, that sort of thing)

Togepi - I am deeply, DEEPLY tempted, to have Katsuki hatch a Togepi, and raise it all the way to Togekiss. Don’t know how that would work out, but I have the image, and by god, it is glorious.

“Transport” - so, I have a thing about “Transport Pokémon”. I feel all trainers should, if they travel a lot, have a Pokémon they can ride in an emergency. So far, the ones I’ve found that fit Katsuki (also Pokémon he could have in General, but I don’t want to put them twice): Rapidash, Charizard, Arcanine, Tauros (any work, but Fire Form works best), Basculegion, Braviary (either form).

Pokémon Katsuki Could Have (General): Magmar, Machamp, Weezing, Wobbuffet (borrowed from Kirishima, for training), Forretress, Snubbull/Granbull, Houndour/Houndoom, Blaziken (Speed Boost, possible replacing Typhlosion), Numel/Camerupt, Zangoose, Crawdaunt, Salamence, Infernape, Staraptor, Garchomp, Riolu/Lucario, Croagunk/Toxicroak (traded from Tsuyu), Gliscor, Heatran, Victini (kind of? I can definitely see her with one, but I can’t see her using it much, cause she doesn’t want people to say she won just because she had Victini…), Simisear, Basculin, Darmanitan, Scrafty, Frillish/Jellicent (don’t know why, but I can see it), Volcarona, Talonflame, Aromatisse, Clawitzer, Toucannon, Salandit/Salazzle, Turtonator, Kommo-o, Blacephalon, Armarouge, Mabosstiff.

Other assorted thoughts:

Tetsutetsu - Purrserker

Monoma - Smeargle, Meowscarada,

Uraraka - Clefariy, Deoxys

Iida - Boltund, Rapidash, Arcanine

Jirou - Jigglypuff, Toxtricity (Low form), Skeledirge, Rillaboom, Meloetta, Gardevoir, Whismur

Kaminari - Pikachu, Pawmi/Pawmo/Pawmot, Toxtricity (Amped form), Kilowattrel, Morpeko, Emolga, Pachirisu, Plusle, Minun, Magnemite

Momo - Tinkatink/Tinkatuff/Tinkaton, Gallade, Indeedee (F&M), Sinistea/Polteageist

What do you think? Any you could see DEFINITELY not work?

I love all of this but wow ya girl has so many options!

I think I’ll give Katsuki the Cyndaquil as a starter, but she def gets a Mankey that keeps trying to pick a fight with her and she’s like ‘hey let’s keep this up actually’.

I like the idea of the Magikarp/Feebas thing, but that would probably be a later thing because early/pre-character development Katsuki wouldn’t have the patience for them even if she knows they’ll eventually be the powerhouse Gyarados/Milotic. Maybe we could force it early by combining it with what was suggested with the Togepi thing? Like she gets an egg and it hatches a Feebas and that both makes her more determined to see this through but helps in teaching the patience.

You’re right on Flareon feeling too Todoroki. Like the other Eeveelutions are up for grabs for everyone else, but Flareon and Glacion are being yeeted at the Todorokis

I think an Arcanine works best on transport I like the vibes.

I gotta keep the Riolu/Lucario because of the Mystery Dungeon tho.

It's one of those nights. He's huddled under a few blankets in his comfiest pajamas. He didn't leave his dorm room much today and ate whatever he had in the room. Not the healthiest, but he was feeling low today. Really low.

Tesla knew something was up. The shiny Pawmot snuggling himself under the blankets and rubbed his fur into his trainer to try and comfort him. A soft exhale came from the trainer as he petted his Pokemon.

He didn't want to look at his phone, wanting to be disconnected from everything yet... he did. He wanted to see if anyone messaged him. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

He knew he shouldn't be alone right now.

I got both weird dog horses! Both took acts of congress to get for very different reasons

Walking Wake was a nightmare on my own, so I had some friends help me. It took us 5 tries and several disconnects to get it, and I had to use Miraidon and several moves to pair with their Iron Hands, Dragonite, and another Miraidon to catch it. We cycled through lots of options. A Koraidon I had with Screech, a Pawmot with strong electric attack, my friend kept bringing Lucario and Iron Leaves before swapping to Dragonite- Terastilizing was pointless and so was Belly Drumming because it really just kept killing us and stealing our charges faster than we could do anything with. In the end, we opted to use the Hit It Til It Dies TM strategy, and we barely won. I caught it in a Fast Ball to give homage to the Johto days.

Iron Leaves was hard because I decided to go at it alone because everyone else I knew decided to as well and succeeded. It kept kicking my ass, and I thought I was going to end up raising and Dark Tera Souping a Kingambit. Instead another friend of mine gave me affirmation after trying with HIS Ceruledge, so I decided to use mine. Hyper training, leveling to 100, hunting raid after raid for shards, a swap to Ghost Teratype, and equipping her with Bright Powder was part of the strategy- I then basically learned that there's no point whatsoever in Swords Dancing if A. It's just going to remove my buffs B. It's going to kill me faster than it's worth, and C. I would end up doing more damage just hitting it over and over. I only got 1 hit in with my Tera Shadow Claw and just resumed the Hit It Til It Dies TM strategy. Ultimately that and the Bright Powder, plus some poor move choices led to me finally winning. I caught it in a Friend Ball because green and leafy.

Now to wait for A. GF to stop being incompetent and fix the save corruption bug going around, and B. For them to do more Paradox Beasts and Swords, because my hunch is they will and we'll either get a fused trio master matching the drawings or we fuse them ourselves.

Anyway, I'm good now :) thanks to all the advice from everyone. Here's my own:

1. Hit It Til It Dies TM

2. Bright Powder

❝ you have more important things to worry about. ❞ // from Cheren to Miguel or Nemona!

nemona calls pawmot to her side, gently caressing his paw and spraying a potion on his scrape. she stands after and wipes sweat from her brow, staring in the direction that the mysterious attackers had retreated.

of course, the stranger’s words drew her attention immediately.

“more important—are you insane?” the student sputters, “dude, you were nearly mugged just now! i don’t know who the heck those guys thought they were, but i sure am not gonna leave someone to fight alone.”

“anyhow,” she huffs, giving the stranger a visual once-over. “are you okay?”
