#okay Clemont sure

[teehee-vibes]

I just found your art via reblogs. Do you ship ash and Clemont or are they just besties

Im afraid that there was NOTHING normal about the 7th Japanese XYZ ending (Kirakira sung by Yūki Kaji).

[jjolteon]

THIS. JUST. THIS. [ramble below cut]

okay. to be fair i haven't watched the episode in 2 years so forgive like. holes. if there are any. but LIKE. IF ASH TOOK THAT, HE WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN FINE. HE HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO ELECTRIC ATTACKS LIKE THIS MANY TIMES, ON PURPOSE ON SOME OCCASIONS MIGHT I ADD. CLEMONT DIDN'T NEED TO DO THIS. The fact he did though is really awesome to me. because it's something he would never do. in this moment, Clemont is mirroring the courage he sees Ash demonstrate. I'm sure that up to this point he's seen Ash do many crazy things -- i can only remember he's seen Ash jump off the prism tower with no hesitation up to this point. sigh. But yeah. Clemont studies this boy silently. Clemont observes, and becomes a little bit more of a person he can be happy with. In this scene he REALLY shows what he's picked up. it's awesome i love this episode i love this scene

[alolanrain]

Okay so recently rewatched the XYZ anime specifically TSME and the end part with the whole two Zygarde Lysandre goes off the shits yada yada

I had a very dumb idea that there is just this one Flare Admin (one of the generic bald ones) that has just been getting clowned on by EVERYONE

He's fighting off this kid and his jacked as shit Pikachu and gets absolutely owned and what does this kid do as he passes by the Admin?The kid smacks his bald head along with the Pikachu,he doesn't know what to do except screech at the kid as he runs off but ultimately decides to go back to Lysandre Labs to hold down the fort there

A couple of minutes pass and the alarm start blaring;someone broke in and is just RAMPAGING through all the grunts and other admins.Ole Bald Ass here tries to delete as much data as he can until he is ripped away by a psychic force and sees this silver-haired twink of a man and his super RTX-Morbillion of a Metagross just casually taking all the data they can before releasing the psychic force.Admin falls the alarm goes off again and right before the man leaves the intrusive thoughts win and he quickly slaps Admin's head before bolting out the room,Admin is fuming

Bald boi then decides to sweep the lab just to make sure there aren't any stragglers but then sees a girl some nerdy ass kid and a munchkin holding a Dendene and decides fuck it I'm gonna take these three out.Halfway through the battle he notices the girl is missing and YET AGAIN feels a sharp slap to the back of his head and hears her scream;it was a distraction as the nerd recalls his pokemon but not before slapping him out of the way with that damn mechanical Aipom hand which OF COURSE slaps a bit of his head.He goes to grab the munchkin but she gets yoinked by said hand and mid-fucking-air SHE SLAPS HIM TOO.

Admin wants the world to burn at this point and wants to quit since he has had his head slapped 6 different times in the span of a few hours.He gets to Lysandre who is getting the final preparations done and yells that he quits,and you know what happens?

ONE OF THE FLARE SCIENTISTS INSTEAD SLAPS HIS HEAD.

Lesson of the story?If you're a Flare Admin invest in a hat.

No, listen, the bald boi is not just a generic flare admin but it’s Xerosic because he’s bald enough. Which gives ample room for the kids to slap him even more when he tries to kidnap Clemont to brainwash him.

[onetwothree]

wait since people are sharing their grownup anipoke cast hcs im gonna share mine too :]

there's a lot of thinking behind every single one of them so please send asks if you're curious about one of them (or more) okay!!!! i love talking about my hcs LMAO

ash: ive got an entire story arc written for that boy. BUT im not gonna explain it here cause it's too long but basically he would become a pokemon teacher (NOT A PROFESSOR, im thinking more like what kukui does in the anime? which is teaching children about pokemon stuff in a school setting)

misty: i like to think she'd become quite the sporty type and maybe become a professional swimmer and participate in competitions and stuff

brock: pkmn doctor!!!! he has a lot of experience and maybe he'd train other younger doctors-to-be :]

tracey: i think art is more of a hobby to him, but @juliamex3 's idea of him taking commissions and becoming gary's assistant is genius so im stealing it HEHE

gary: pkmn professor and rival to goh, they don't specialize in the exact same fields but sometimes they work together. gary still loves to tease goh (they respect eachother but the teasing is eternal)

may: ill be completely honest and say may is the one ive given the least thought to. I'M SORRY BESTIE... id say she's still a coordinator and likes to bring smiles to people with her performances

dawn: im not 100% sure but im thinking something like a professional dancer but like not competitive, maybe she'd make a duo with zoey and they'd both do performances together

iris: she's still unovas champion ! she also beat cynthia's ass and now her goal is to beat ash's ass (in a battle.)

cilan: S class connoisseur, but there's still things to learn! which is why he rarely stays at the striaton cafe.

clemont: definitely not a gym leader anymore. he decided to let his sister take his place. hes an engineer and he's well known around the world for all of his inventions

serena: i don't think she'd keep doing performances all her life. after she becomes kalos queen, she'd start focusing on fashion designing. also i like to think that shauna would model for her :3

mallow : as the owner of ainas kitchen she opened a new restaurant in konikoni city where she lives with lillie!!

lillie: she writes children's literature!!!

lana: okay so i like to think that lana would specialize in water pokemon preservation. she would dive in specific areas to check the pokemons conditions and stuff

sophocles: he said he wanted to be an astronaut, i believe in him!! YOU CAN DO IT SOPHOCLES

kiawe: hes going to become kahuna after olivia but it's not going to be easy. hes going to travel across the world to learn more about pokemon and people first, and only then will he be recognized as kahuna

gladion: he researches pokemon at the aether foundation and someday will take his mother's role as president. he and goh have worked together before and they get along well

goh: pokemon professor, as i said he and gary are still rivals. goh specializes in legendary/mythical pokemon!!

chloe: i like to think that she would do something "normal" LMAO, maybe journalist, i can see her writing articles in newspaper, or photographer. it's hard to find something good for her because the anime didn't give us any clue ghdbfhd. i have more hcs for koharu but not related to her future job

[chaoticsoulsword]

Prompt/Headcanon/Ficlet: I just KNOW Maxie is a nerd with a dying desire to talk endless hours about his inventions. When you interact with him in Pokemas, he wants to talk about the suit Team Magma has designed, but he also apologizes for being carried away.

This whole deal just makes me headcanon that Maxie is indeed very lonely when sharing his passions. He sees Clemont and Sophocles rejoicing their inventions and being super excited about it, and he yearns that because sure, he has scientists working for Team Magma, but they're not his friends? He could talk to Cyrus but the man is just so depressing, calling him out whenever Maxie shows the slightest sign of excitement.

So one day Maxie is just walking down the shore. He's really saddened, to the point that he doesn't notice Archie is there until he bumps into his large back.

"A-Archie? My apologies. I was... distracted."

The Aqua leader raises an eyebrow. He usually replies with a grin and a loud laughter whenever he sees Maxie, but his rival looks pretty blue tonight.

"Ya okay, Maxie-boy?"

"I... Yes. It's just a silly thing, really. No need to bother you with such personal concerns..."

"Ah, c'mon! It's not like I'll bite or somethin'! I may be your rival but we're not enemies anymore. We even called a truce and all!"

"Well... In that case..."

And so Maxie confesses that he often feels lonely for not having a friend to share his inventions and deeds with, to which Archie feels deeply touched.

"Y'know what? I could hear more about your inventions. Sure, I'm not a nerd like you, but I do understand the excitement of talkin' about somethin' you love. That's what we do when fighting over land and sea, after all, isn’t it?" he grins softly.

Maxie's heart skips a beat, and their eyes meet in the exact moment the bright of the stars reflect on Archie's deep blue hues.

The Magma leader then chuckles and returns the smile, thanking him for everything. No one makes Maxie feel that way but Archie.

Song of the Sea (Chapter 2)

"I'll make sure he's okay after this." Kukui promised gently. "He's not leaving my sight once this call is over."

 "Good." Her words were shaky at best but the confident woman he had first met was slowly coming back. "My Husband and I will arrive by Thursday at the latest and Tuesday night at the earliest." 

3 or 5 days, that was fine. 

 "I'll let him know once he wakes up," He swallowed, smiling weakly at the phone as if she could see him. 

"He's your son just as much as mine and my husband's now." She dropped off slowly, letting out a sharp exhale. "Keep our Baby safe Kukui."

Click.

Why Did I Fall? (Will You Fall Too?)

Connected with And I Fall for You (Again and Again)

Clemont shook, sniffling gently and looking away embarrassed.

 He didn't move when Ash wrapped his arms around him, pressing his head gently against his chest to hear the sound of a regular beating heart.

 He burst into tears, gripping onto Ash's white shirt.

 'I love you,'

Ash didn't say a word.

"Pikachu?" Leavanny blinked at him, startling the mouse. "Can I ask you something?"

"Only if you make me a hood again." Pikachu countered back, chuckling as he kicked up some water. "What's up?" 

 Leavanny scoffed slightly, a smile never leaving their face as they began to use one of their leaves to make a hood. Their claws produced silk that banded gently around the green leaves, acting like a thread. 

 "So greedy," Leavanny chided playfully. "Do you mind?" 

 Pikachu hummed back, ears twitching sideways as he took in the surrounding noises. 

 "Mind what?"

Farewell to You, ch 5

Back with Yoni, she arrived at the location of where Zapdos was located. It had found its new home in an old power plant. She launched a bunch of floating rocks towards the Electric/Flying type. Zapdos used its Thunderbolt to stop the floating rocks but several surrounded it. The rocks crushed in, hitting the legendary bird rather hard. Zapdos cried out in pain. The rocks kept doing that, even though it was low on power. The rocks then turned into strong, rubber rope. The strong rubber rope surrounded Zapdos and brought it into the airship.

Yoni commented, "Well, that was rather easy. I was expecting more of a fight. Next is Moltres and then Articuno. That should flush out the queen and the rook. And then the king itself."

The computer stated, "Now charting a course for Wela Volcano Park in the Alola Region."

That's when the airship took off.

...

A little further down from the old power plant; Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie were still headed that way. They had heard from locals that the old power plant had come back online a while ago.

Clemont asked the two girls, "You two doing okay?"

Bonnie confirmed, "Yes, doing okay."

Serena frowned, "I wish we knew what we were looking for. I know we're supposed to look for Zapdos but is that it?"

Clemont stated, "Well, if Lawrence did escape from jail, he would be in a huge airship."

Bonnie pointed out, "Wouldn't that be a bit obvious...?"

Before Serena could say anything, they saw an altar up ahead.

She asked, "What is that...?" She walked up to it, seeing the lightning treasure in it. She wondered, "What's that?"

Clemont stated, "Not sure but it is pretty."

Bonnie added, "I was going to say that."

Clemont just chuckled. Serena didn't know what it was but something told her to go ahead and take it out. So that's what she did. She showed it to the siblings and to their shock, the treasure started to glow in their presence.

Serena breathed, "Oh my gosh...it's even prettier."

That's when she put it in her bag.

Clemont blinked, "This is odd, where is Zapdos, if it was here?"

Bonnie stated, "Good question. I think we should call Looker and Anabel."

To that, Serena nodded. She brought out her Pokenav as the three of them started to leave the area. Serena went over to Clemont, nervously. Clemont saw how nervous she was and let Bonnie go ahead.

He asked, "Serena, what is it...?"

She blurted out, "Do you wanna go out with me?"

To that, Clemont turned a beat red. So did Serena. Clemont nodded before she could hesitate further. Serena breathed a sigh of relief, giving Clemont a kiss. Clemont returned it, holding the performer close. Bonnie saw them from afar. She was trying not to squeal too loudly. She thought, 'It's about time, brother. It's about time.'

...

Back in Alola, Gladion had gone off with Lillie, Olivia, Kiawe, Mallow, Lana, and Sophocles to find Moltres. Professor Kukuki, his wife, and his son had gone back to the lab. All of them were noting how strange the weather was becoming. First it was hot then it was hailing and now it was windy. The wind even pushed Lana a bit.

Lana groaned, "This weather is not helping the situation."

Mallow stated, "Got that right but there's not much we can do."

Sophocles added, "Especially since Zapdos is missing."

Kiawe said, "In either event, we're nearing the Wela Volcano Park."

Olivia frowned, "Yeah but no sign of the airship."

Lillie commented, "But there's Moltres."

True to her word, the Fire/Flying type was there. It was sitting near the altar. The legendary bird looked at its visitors, tilting its head to the side.

Gladion said, "Doesn't look like it was expecting us."

Lana blinked, "Doesn't it know about Zapdos?"

Moltres shrieked at her, sounding surprised.

Kiawe answered, "Guess not."

Olivia took a step forward, "Dear Moltres, we've come to warn you. The person that once collected you is coming back."

Moltes shrieked at her in a bit of fear. The legendary bird was afraid of this. The other legendary birds and itself hadn't done a lot of training over the years. Just then, the airship arrived. It looked smaller than the one that was described to them.

Lillie was confused, "That seems...smaller than we were expecting."

Gladion threw a pokeball and out came Silvally. Kiawe did the same, sending out his Alolan Marowak. Olivia brought out her Lycanroc. Sophicles brought out his Togedemaru. Lana brought out her Primarina. Mallow brought out her Tsareena. Lillie was tempted to bring out Snowy but decided against it. She didn't know much about battling anyways.

Gladion was the first to attack, "Silvally, Multi-Attack!"

Silvally launched the attack as the floating rocks came down. It managed to destroy a few but more surrounded it.

Kiawe commanded, "Shadow Ball!"

Alolan Marowak did as it was told. It covered Silvally, to which Gladion was grateful for. Olivia went next as more floating rocks came down.

She commanded, "Stone Edge!"

Lycanroc fired its Stone Edge. It destroyed the floating rocks but there were some starting to surround Moltres. It was using its Flamethrower to get out of danger and its Aerial Ace.

Sophicles commanded, "Pin Missile!"

Lana commanded, "Disarming Voice!"

Mallow commanded, "Trop Kick!"

All three of the attacks destroyed the floating rocks but it wasn't enough. Moltres was being surrounded. The attacks kept coming but it was of no use. The rocks turned into a non burnable rope and surrounded Moltres. It flew back up to the airship. Wasting no time, the airship was out of sight.

Sophicles admitted, "T - that is not good."

Kiawe grumbled, "Anyone wanna call it in...?"

Olivia offered, "I will."

Lillie had gone over to the altar. 'What was Moltres hiding...?' She thought. That's when she saw the treasure. Lillie took it as it started to glow in her and her friends' presence. 'What in the world...?' She thought, putting it in her bag. Everyone called their pokeballs back to their pokeballs.

...

Back at the party, everyone had been informed that both Zapdos and Moltres were taken. But Ash was relieved that Serena and Lillie had the treasures. Though he was a bit curious on how the treasures glowed in the presence of his friends. He thought, 'Maybe they are Chosen Ones too! Or maybe Lugia didn't want me to do this on my own.' Looker had advised the teams to go to Shamouti, just in case.

He finally spoke, "Alright, we need to address the Weavile in the room. We still don't know where Articuno or Lugia is."

Ritchie spoke, "I have a theory. Articuno may have gone to the highest point in the world to hide. Think about it, the higher the altitude, the more snow you'll get. It would be the perfect place to hide."

Duplica winked at him, "Yeah, there's my beau! Always thinking!"

To that, Ritchie blushed. Sparky laughed a bit. Mini Dit did the same, still imitating him.

Misty teased, "Unlike some people."

Ash shot her a look, "Very funny, Mist. Very funny."

Before Pikachu could say anything, his ears perked up. "Pika? Pi pi pi?"

Pikachu turned on its heel as a porthole opened out. That's when Misty's Togetic came out of it.

"Togetic!" It said, happily.

Piplup and Buneary were both curious of the Fairy/Flying type. But Buneary was being more shy.

Dawn asked, "Where did that Togetic come from...?"

Brock started to say, "Could it be...?"

Misty whispered, "Togepi...?"

...

[lussterpurge]

BOOM I figured I'll send the next one when I have a ton of songs... and now I have a ton of songs. So 1) Whatever it takes - imaginedragons M brain hardcore projects this on STEVEN of all people. I'm pretty sure if I tried I'll be able to get the vibes to qord, but as we've established I do not try. I specifically want to point out the bridge of the song. Alain and Ash also fit the song very well, but my brain refuses to consider anything other than Steven https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=cnRB2CgUpSw 2) Alive k-391 SPEAKING OF ASH, he would definitely sing this song if he sang songs. The chorus is literally just his entire worldview. He's singing this to Serena, Clemont, Alain, whoever you want. He owns this song https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MiAYpRxXgH0 3) Question from Assassination Classroom ALAIN. It's literally just Alain. The english translation for one of the parts goes Yeah i get knocked down like this, everytime but what else can I do? /Your scathing serious voice cuts me like no one else ever could/ Thousands, tens of thousands of times, I've made my feelings clear/driven them in thrown them in but all you do is run Like. Look at me. Tell me this isn't him (you can't) https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=9oz-NhZOc0E 4) Unravel from Tokyo Ghoul Two anime songs? Sure, why not. I haven't listened to it in a bit but again, Alain vibes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NMinvWBxmGs (I know its not yt music but I couldn't find a proper english ver on it) 5) Shelter - Porter Robinson Clemont time! Its kinda like Whatever it takes up above where we're not actually sure why, but like, its Clemont to me. Something about his relationship with Clembot and Meyer I think. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5UZ4V16d8eU

This was an entire essay and I kept thinking of more songs as I wrote this so, I should probably make a playlist. But I don't enjoy doing that also being able to rant about the songs is fun. My brain has assigned you as the music person. At the very least, I hope you can vibe to these

OKAY. I had to write these as I listened to the songs cause I have like short term memory loss but as a quick summary YEAH. These are very accurate and gut wrenching as a matter of fact. So.

1- I’d already listened to this song, and tbh revisiting it was awesome af. For Steven the lyrics that caught my eye were “Never be enough, I’m the prodigal son. I was born to run, I was born for this.” So YES. Very Steven-core.

2- Considering Ash is VERY selfless, yes! The lyrics do talk a lot about taking chances even if you don’t know what might happen, and knowing Ash this fits him well. He’s all about taking chances and going crazy with it. So yes !

3- I really can’t tell you it isn’t about him because it is. Alain is also, very selfless, but all because in my head he needs the constant approval from those around him. (Especially Lysandre, during his Team Flare days). So YES.

4- (eye twitch eye twitch/pos) this is awesome. This is VERY ALAIN CODED. The particular line that talks about being unbreakable gives me a LOTT of Alain vibes ‘cause he really does want to believe that!

5- this one made me ill but like in a good way. VERY ACCURATE. The lyrics r super gut wrenching too (at least for me) but this is rlly messed up but in a good way. YES!

TY FOR THESE 🫶

[a-tale-of-legends]

You know,we never really got a backstory for Shauna. Not where she lived or who her folks are, nothing. The most we got is that she's long term friends with the rival, Tierno and Trevor, and that she is also friends with Clermont and Bonnie.

In the manga, she's from vanille town, but honestly it doesn't always seem like that in the games? So here's some ideas that I have after watching the prism tower scene.

See, after that cutscene,I'm kinda inclined to think that Shauna is actually from Lumiose city? Between her seeming to just know the place and her being friends with Clermont and Bonnie, it seems she most at home there. Though her being from Anville town also makes just as much sense, since she's with Dante/Calem when getting Jude/Serena.

I mentioned before how I think the friend group in xy all probably knew each other from school. I now kinda have the idea that they all went to a boarding school of sorts? I dunno, but since I feel like they all come from different places in Kalos, this might be the best way for them to interact constantly and get as close as they are by the beginning of the game

Going back to Clermont and Bonnie, if I decide to go with Shauna being from Lumiose city, I can actually see her and Clemont meeting in said school, or at least in a program there. I 100% believe that Shauna is honestly really good with tech, but not as passionate about it as say Clemont is. But even then, the two were able to bond super well!! I can see Shauna belong look after Shauna when they were younger.

As much as I want to give Shauna good loving parents, it seems that the trend among the rivals this gen is " rocky relationship with your parents". The rivals dad is all the way in snowbelle city, and while I'm certain the two still have a healthy relationship, it won't surprise me if the rival's relationship with him is a bit rocky given the distance. Trevor's parents literally left him and his sister to travel the world. The player seems to have a good relationship with their mom, but with my mc oc, it's also pretty awkward and tense. Tierno is the only one that gets absolutely nothing , so honestly I can go ham with him and say his relationship with his parents is probably tense too cause why not. So by default, Shauna probably has something up with her parents. Not sure what though.

Okay the last one was mostly a joke. It's fun to give angst, but also fun to have some fluff so maybe Shauna and Tierno have good relationships with their parents. Maybe.

I think that's all I have? If I have more or forgotten something I'll probably make another post about it.

[crystalelemental]

Unit Teambuilding - Koga

The new EX for the month is, for some reason, Koga. I want to complain. I want to say this is sad to me in a month that has been unparalleled in its disappointment. But let's be honest, Poison desperately needed the win.

General Overview Koga is, earnestly, a pretty solid F2P sync pair. As far as Poison goes, he's practically exceptional. Decent if awkward self-setup that plays directly into a 100% multiplier, Poison Fang into Venoshock for DPS, Mind Games 9 on Venoshock for debuffing, and he's even fairly tanky and has evasion for a Tech pair. Koga can do quite a bit, and with a potent sync nuke, he's a reasonable approach to clearing stages.

Or, well, he should be. See, Koga's tools are good, but also littered with limitations. Single-target debuffs aren't great for fast-paced 3v3 games, and never really were. Evasion doesn't really help against sync nukes. 50% to land Toxic, which he outright requires to deal damage, is too inconsistent, and a major source of frustration in Gauntlet stages given they keep shrugging it off. His DPS is poor, and while sync is much improved, it's...never quite impressed me. Koga's one of those sync nukers who really just wants to get to sync, and the time in between is kind of a nightmare for him.

But I think on balance, he still comes out as a very strong common. Few of these criticisms don't also plague the rest of the F2P pool, and most have it worse than he does.

EX and investment? The question remaining, however, is whether the EX is worth it. I'd say getting to 5* and 3/5 definitely is, Poison is hard to shop for and he's the best non-limited you're likely to find (sorry, Looker). But it's a harder sell on EX. You would think it's an easy yes, Tech gets such a boost from it. But the question of being worth it has to come from whether he's picking up KOs he otherwise misses out on. And I don't think that's been his issue. At least, not for me. Usually if he misses KO, it's by a lot, in something like Gauntlet, or against center in CS. And often it's because the Poison didn't land. I think he's an okay addition, but similarly to Clair, I feel like lacking the EX wasn't his problem. Dude just needs Hostile Environment.

Team 1: Koga, BP Janine, H!Iris/Oleana/Drasna BP Janine and Koga were designed to be used together. Double Crobat offers Koga exactly the buffs he needs without relying on MPR for max crit and evasion. Janine offering special attack on the same button as evasion is even better. H!Iris is a great pick, thanks to Poison Zone, debuffs from Acid, and most importantly, Hyper Beam. Koga's nuke is great, but he lacks for DPS, something that Iris covers very well. The fact that she also needs Janine's exact buffing kit makes this team particularly effective. But let us also not mince words: Janine is frail. She does not take hits, and relies painfully on dodge. Oleana is an alternative to Iris. She doesn't debuff special defense, but her DPS is actually stronger, and the lack of Zone means turning off Offenses +5 for No Field Effects. Combined with the debuff to offenses and sure-Toxic on her Max Move, she's a very good fit for the team. Though she does come with the issue of needing both physical and special damage reduction off. As a final consideration if you're looking for something more F2P friendly, Drasna in the general pool has fantastic on-type damage through Sludge Bomb, and receives all the same benefits from Janine.

Team 2: Koga, BP Clemont, Viola Koga is also useful in Stall comps, thanks to Toxic, and the high evade chance. Complemented with BP Clemont's defense buffs and Synchro Healing, as well as Viola's trap and special attack debuffs, they're a good core against specially-focused stages. Lodge Lillie can be used over Viola if you need physical.

Final Thoughts Koga's never really stood out to me, and it has more to do with his lack of supportive effects than anything. Mind Games 9 is cute, but single-target often doesn't amount to much. Toxic is sometimes nice, but it's the worst status for Gauntlet, single-target in CS, and only a 50/50 per hit. Koga feels like he exists entirely for damage, and felt fairly clunky at it to begin with. But a strong nuke in a rare type still counts for something. And who knows, maybe one day we'll get a Sprint pair that really works for him.

[dragontamerhiccup]

Okay, so I was just informed that you found Clemont and are now planning to break into his gym because his robot malfunctioned? Zyga... if only my body were repaired sooner... I don't know how much help I can be but the Zorua I gave you has a tendency to break into my food cabinet by becoming intangible, so he may be able to sneak into Prism Tower without being detected. But you'll more than likely need an electric type Pokemon who can short circuit the tower's systems. I'd highly recommend a Rotom for the task.

-J of Itua Village.

Well, it’s a good thing I have one of those then.

[ Zzzzt! :) ]

I’ll make sure I bring Snowstepper with me then, too. Thanks for the advice, I’ll let everyone know how it goes later.

Okay, here we go! We had a few ties.

Gen 1:

1st – Erika

2nd – Sabrina

3rd – Surge

Not too surprised about Erika. Her badge is literally a rainbow. Surge getting third surprised me.

Gen 2:

1st – Morty

2nd – Bugsy

3rd – Falkner and Clair

Morty, I'm thinking it's because of his friendship with Eusine. Clair I can see with that boss energy she brings to the table.

Gen 3:

1st – Wallace

2nd – Flannery

3rd – Roxanne and Winona

Of the polls, Wallace had the largest sweep. All the reblogs were stating he was the obvious choice.

Gen 4:

1st – Volkner

2nd – Fantina

3rd - Roark

For years, I've heard fans interpreting Volkner's friendship with Flint as gay, so him getting first is no surprise. Roark getting 3rd did surprise me; quite a few reblogs said he was fruity and the disappointed dad factor was what did it for them.

Gen 5:

1st – Burgh

2nd – Elesa

3rd – The Triplets (Cilan, Chili, and Cress)

No notes, but I believe the triplets come from Cilan's characterization in the anime.

Gen 6:

1st – Valerie

2nd – Korrina

3rd - Clemont

No notes here, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with Valerie having a LOT of pink.

Gen 7 Trial Captains:

1st – Ilima

2nd – Kiawe

3rd - Mina

When Sun and Moon first released, I heard a lot of comments saying Ilima's design was very gender neutral and that some initially thought he was a she. Looking at him, I can see how some might think that.

Gen 7 Kahunas:

1st – Olivia

2nd – Nanu and Hapu

3rd - Hala

No notes.

Gen 8:

1st – Piers

2nd – Raihan

3rd – Nessa and Gordie

Much like Volkner and Flint, I've seen a lot of interpreting Raihan and Leon's friendship as gay.

Gen 9:

1st – Brassius

2nd – Grusha

3rd - Larry

Brassius had the next biggest sweep after Wallace. Due to Brassius appearing in Hassel's art class, their history as told by Brassius, and Hassel having a Flapple on his team, which is part grass-type and according to the romantic legend of Applin in Galar, Brassius and Hassel have been interpreted as husbands.

Like Ilima, Grusha has a more gender neutral design and has been thought to be a girl.

Since Gen 7 required two separate polls, I think I'm going to do another one just for the top winners of that gen. Then we can do a champions round.

“giant stuffy” from bonnie for clemont || @voltagedoubler​

“Are you sure this one was the one you wanted, Bonnie? The last time I got you a big plush, you said it was the wrong one.” Clemont spoke, holding out a life sized Luxray plushie to his little sister, which clearly was almost twice the size of Bonnie!

“So make sure that this one’s the one you want before we leave the store, okay?”

------------------

I sighed to myself sitting on my bed in my down room bored out of my mind. That was until the door opened, "So, uhh, (Y/n)... I'm going to be out for probably a while, don't worry about locking me out I have my dorm key so I can get back in when I come back."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah yeah, you go do you, Hannah. Normally I don't ask with these situations, but would you be going to see Clemont by any chance?"

Immediately her face went red, "HEY!"

I just chuckled, "I'm right. I know it, you love him don't cha?"

"Oh shut up! Like you're totally not in love with that green-haired triplet!"

"OH FUCK OFF already, Hannah! I do NOT like him like that!"

She just raised an eyebrow at me, giving me a look that said, "Really?" and I just looked down at my Oshawatt, giving her a signal. Soon, Hannah's face was soaking wet due to Aqua Jet. I gave a small smirk at her annoyed face, "(Y/N)! You little-"

"Just go on your date Hannah. I'll be here when you get back."

--------------------------

I smirked to myself as I knocked on the door of the triplets' dorm room. I waited for a minute before the door was opened by Cress, "Oh, hello (Y/n). What can I do for you?"

"I-Is Cilan here? I-I want to talk to him about something," I asked looking down at the floor and biting my lip. Cress knew of my crush on Cilan and without even seeing his face, I could tell he was in that phase of '(Y/n), I know what you want to say just from the way you're acting'.

Before Cress could reply however, there was another voice, "You can do it, just tell the girl of your dreams how beautiful you think she is and how much you want her to be your girlfriend! You can do this Cilan just walk up to-Oh hi, (Y/n)." My head shot up and without saying anything I turned around and ran off back to the dorm I shared with Hannah.

CILAN'S POV

"Do you know what that was about?" I asked Cress who had just shut the door. He just shook his head, "She said she wanted to talk to you about something, but why would she run off after seeing you in that case?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you, Cress!"

"I know why."

I turned to Chili who was lying on his back on his bed, head dangling over the edge of the bed, his phone in his hand.

"Really? Why then? Also I wouldn't do that, all the blood will rush to your head."

"One, you're not my mum, two, I can't tell you."

"Tell me. (Y/n) is my friend, Chili, I want to make sure she's alright," I responded through gritted teeth, resisting the urge to strangle him. I then noticed Chili and Cress share a nervous look, "Okay you two know something I don't. Tell me now."

"We can't, Cilan. It's not our place, even if it will make you happy, we were told never to tell you or we'd be 'fried beyond all recognition' is how I think she put it," Cress spoke placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Fine," I replied, shrugging his hand off my shoulder, "You won't tell me, I'll go and ask (Y/n) myself what's up," I continued before walking out the dorm room, and towards (Y/n)'s. When I got to the door I heard sobbing from the inside and a voice I recognised to be Hannah's, "(Y/n), don't say that. I'm sure it's you he was talking about."

------------------------YOUR POV - AFTER YOU RAN OFF

Once I got back I flopped onto my bed and sobbed my eyes out, putting on a playlist on my phone, after a few minutes, I heard the door open and I tried to act as if I hadn't just been crying.

"(Y/n), why are you crying?"

"H-Hannah why are you back so quickly?!" I responded, wiping my eyes.

"That is irrelevant right now. Why are you crying?!" she responded, sitting on my bed and pulling me up into her side, "Tell me."

I shook my head, "If you want to know why, look up 'Teardrops on my Guitar' YouTube Music and listen. That will tell you why."

"I already know the song, (Y/n). Let me guess, you overheard Cilan talking about a girl he liked and you think it's no way that it could be you, which is why you're crying because you're head over heels for him."

I just started sobbing again and nodded, digging my head into her side, "Y-yeah."

"(Y/n), don't say that. I'm sure it's you he was talking about," Hannah replied, rubbing my back in an attempt to calm me down. It was then that there was a knock at the door to our dorm room and Hannah stood up to go and answer it, "You stay there I'll be back."

I sniffled and nodded as she walked out of the bedroom. I head part of the conversation from the bedroom however, "Cilan what do you want?"

"Is (Y/n) here? I really need to talk to her. Please? I messed up and I need to make up for my mistake."

"Fine, she's in the bedroom."

A few seconds later, Cilan walked into the room, "Uhh... hey, (Y/n)."

I sniffled and looked up at him, "Oh, hi, Cilan, need something?"

"C-can I sit down?"

I slowly nodded and he sat down next to me, "Listen. Why did you run off after you wanted to talk to me earlier?"

I took a deep breath, "Cilan, I'm going to tell you something, and you have to promise not to hate me afterwards, okay?"

"I promise, (Y/n), I could never hate you."

I took a deep breath, "It's just. I love you, like I've ha-" I was cut off when he placed a hand on the neck of my head and kissed me. I blinked in surprise and wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss before pushing him on his back, changing position so I was straddling him, I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "You can stay for longer if you want... I don't mind." My only reply was him kissing my again, "Gladly."

Hehe so many Cilan oneshots

@kaloskiddos​ asked:

[text from clemont]; I miss you, Silva. Bonnie and I miss you. Do you know when you're going to come home?

      Well that wasn’t someone she was expecting to see a message from. Not at all...It had been a while, long while, since she received a message from Clemont. Let alone if she ever really replied. Always half afraid that those in Kalos might end up somehow trailing her location, her getting taken back...

      She stared at the hologram absentmindedly for a moment, expression a smile yet eye showing only the blankness that filled her mind. A glaze that was so easily replicated. Then she...slowly replied. 

      [SMS] not sure.       [SMS] maybe soon! hope you’re both doing okay.

      ...She didn’t know how it was going to work if she got back home. Was she only going to be allowed in the Estate? Would she be allowed to leave? Did she even want to leave at that point. She wasn’t sure.
