#only to be found out by eddie/his pokemon

[chickensoupleg]

Me: I should continue writing my witch AU.

Also me: Hey wouldn't it be mad funny to write Jason in the Pokemon universe and its just a meet cute with Eddie.

[nburkhardt]

I’m painting tiny pokemon and thinking about pokemon au. Enjoy ✨

Eddie finding an egg during his adventure and being so excited about it. But not for himself, no no, he has the perfect opportunity to finally ask Steve out.

They’ve been flirting with each other for months, running into each other at gyms and training sessions. At first Eddie couldn’t stand the guy and his little show off, Primarina. Always finding ways to one up him and Aragon, his Decidueye (at that time they were still in their second stages; Brionne and Dartrix.)

But as he continued his gym challenge, all the run ins and training together, Eddie couldn’t help but start to really like Steve. Babydoll and Aragon kept up the tiny rivalry but the rest of their teams became best friends.

So, really feelings we’re going to happen eventually.

And he’s been so nervous to take the next step, could tell Steve’s also nervous. Always stopping himself from saying anything. Wanting but waiting until the courage to really hit either of them.

“Gotta be a sign!” He holds the egg carefully to his chest as he gets up, “Stevie will take such good care of you”

Gene snickering behind him, while Loretta floats around him. “Stop laughing you jerks. This is totally going to work!”

Pulling his backpack around, he gently puts the egg in before zipping it up and continuing on. Gene and Loretta in their balls, while Aragorn keeps him company on their way to the next town.

It’s only a day later when Steve catches up with him.

Before Eddie can even get the egg out of his backpack, Steve’s holding one out to him. A blush on his face, Vee’s tail swaying with a nodding head. Babydoll peeking from behind Steve.

It makes him blink a few times, making sure it’s real and not a dream. “Stevie? Wha-”

“I uh, found this and wanted to give it to you and to maybe, ask you out?”

Eddie’s face hurts and his heart is beating fast, “I’d love to, Stevie. And I’d be honored to have it, also be honored if you’d take this little one?” Pulling the egg out and mirroring Steve by holding it out towards him.

Steve’s blush grows and so does his smile, Babydoll brushes a fin against the egg and Vee letting out happy noises.

They exchange the eggs and enjoy the rest of their day together. Eating lunch together, watching on as their pokemon rest and play together. Trading tips to taking care of the eggs, wondering what pokemon will hatch.

It wasn’t the official date, but it was something and Eddie loved it.

(Steve’s egg hatches and is pleasantly surprised to see a Mimikyu, a shy little one who decides to sit on his shoulder much like how Vee is.)

(Eddie’s egg hatches and a full of energy Pumpkaboo is in his face. A small ball of energy, that he named Ozzie.)

I love them. They’re my babies 🥰

Pokemon au tidbits:

The party head out on their pokemon journeys together at around s2 age.

Will’s starter is an eevee he once came across when he was eight. He’s got an innate gift to read pokemon’s emotions (like Yellow in Pokemon adventures), and he knows it’s been left alone for a while. He initially had to keep it away from his house because Lonnie would have probably never allowed Will to have such a “girly” pokemon. Jokes on him, tho, because as soon as he leaves, that eevee moves in. It’s very well loved. It will probably stay an eevee or evolve into a sylveon or umbreon.

Mike’s starter is a pikachu he only gets because he was late to grab a starter from their town’s professor. They initially don’t get along, and Mike gets shocked a few times for it, but later they’re inseparable. It refuses to evolve.

Lucas’ starter is an rowlet. It’s gifted to him by his parents, and they’re absolutely fast friends. He later attains a riolu shortly after, and both evolve to become powerhouses in Lucas’ team.

Dustin’s starter is a poliwag he’s found rummaging in the trash once. He’s not sure how it’s got there, but he takes it in shortly after. (He names it Dart. It later becomes his trusty politoed.)

Max’s starter is a torchic she’s gotten from her dad before she had to move regions. They’re close with each other, but her torchic has a budding rivalry against Lucas’ oshawott. She finds that very funny.

El’s starter is a munna. After having escaped from Brenner’s evil Team, it managed to provide some comfort to her by eating her nightmares about the Lab. It’s her first friend before she ever comes across the Party in their journey.

The initial party kinda consider themselves rivals, but only Mike and Lucas really go at it since they’ve both got ambitions to become Champion. Max then later joins in that rivalry. Will and El have no idea of what they want to do as a Pokemon Trainer, and Dustin is beelining towards a path towards becoming a Pokemon Professor.

For the teenagers, they’ve all gone on their journeys years before with varying levels of success.

Nancy is the current Champion. Mike’s aiming to defeat her in an attempt to get out of the shadow she’s inadvertently placed on him by becoming Champion. She’s got a snivy as a starter that later became a powerhouse of a serperior.

Steve, being a Champion hopeful back then, loses to Nancy in a deciding battle just minutes after he beats the previous Champion. The loss actually humbled him in a sort of way, and he’s currently the eighth gym leader specializing in Dragon type pokemon. He’s become friends with the Dark type gym leader (Eddie), and the Flying type gym leader (Robin) since then. His starter was a charmander his parents gave him that later became his prized charizard.

Jonathan is just as good as Steve and Nancy in pokemon battles, but becoming a champion or a gym leader isn’t for him. He absolutely becomes a Pokemon Photographer. He’s gone from home for months at a time, but when he does come back, he tends to show Will all the pictures he’s taken so far. His starter is a lillipup that later evolved to a loyal stoutland by his side.

As for the adults, Hopper def has an Arcanine at his side. Maybe even a Tyranitar. Joyce has an Ursaring that she occasionally uses as her defense.

I don’t have much more for this au, but this would prob be an idea that I’m brewing on the side for a bit.

Nurse Charis Evelyn Joy

Currently working at the route 3 Pokemon Center. Originally started in Pewter City.

Obsessed with Jigglypuff

Went to school in Paldea

Actually has a ton of Jigglypuff as well as a special team for battling

Often is the target of her cousin's (the Celadon city nurse) pranks. Setting up a wedding behind her back is the latest

Team:

Mr. Wiggles (Jigglypuff)

The first Pokemon Charis caught! Mr. Wiggles accompanied Charis on her treasure hunt. He's proud that he's unevolved and hasn't been replaced. And he's especially proud of putting Pokemon to sleep when Charis worked in Pewter. He's not allowed to do that anymore.

Tinkywinky (Tinkaton)

Caught in Paldea. Hates Thing. Charis has to keep her separated from Thing or they'll start fighting. Often helps with rowdy Pokemon in the center.

Glowbelle (Shiinotic)

Charis' biggest helper in the Pokemon Center. She's at the point that she can dose spore without putting anyone around her asleep except her target and can control how long they sleep. Met in Alola while visiting her second cousin in Hau'oli.

Eddie (Grimmsnarl)

One of Charis' Pokemon from her Paldean treasure hunt. He doesn't like terrastalizing at all. He helps perpetuate the pranks on his trainer, but is easily forgiven.

Sparkles (Gardevoir)

Charis' mega evolver and starter. He trades off with the center assigned Chansey to keep Pokemon in line if they need more drastic care. Although he works in the center, Charis' wellbeing is his priority.

Thing

That's no Jigglypuff.

Charis found it while exploring near the Great Crater. It took out Charis' team with ease. After the encounter, Charis told herself she'd find the Pokemon, even if she would have to catch a thousand Jigglypuff. She only got fifteen captures before she ran into Thing again. Now, Charis knows well Thing is no Jigglypuff. She's scared of finding out what Thing really is. Charis is the only one allowed to treat Thing because of her fears.

Root

My family is pretty distant.

My sister has been climbing the economic ladder since she went off to Unova to study for business, we saw much less of her after her first year of school.

We recently reconnected, out of business obligation....

I have been seeing her a bit more lately but it's really awkward and hard to be professional but I do what I must.

My mom has been a bit distant lately too. She was always kind and caring, usually keeping my dad's feet on the ground whenever he had big ideas and was ready to decorate the whole house for Christmas or open a restaurant where people who didn't have a lot of money could trade things for meals.

She's been a lot more quiet lately, and last time I visited her she was looking into more of her Johto roots and I even heard her playing one of her old instruments.

My dad was a dreamer, bigger than life and cared about people and pokemon so much. He opened his small corner store, Mercado if you will, to help trainers and travelers who came to Sinnoh. Everyone in the area knew who he was, and he could remember every fact about a person he met only once.

He was also a lover of lore and history, probably why he settled in Sinnoh. I miss him a lot.

My little Brother "Tei" was just as energetic as my dad, and he LOVED pokemon. He was really excited to go on his pokemon journey one day...unfortunately he never got to do that.

I dont do what I do as a Ranger because I'm trying to remember them or be closer to them, but I sometimes feel like they are with me when I'm just enjoying what I do.

I can say that while I love and miss my family, I'm a lot closer to the people I call a family lately.

My whole team, every pokemon that I've adopted or that has adopted me is a very important part of my family.

My Ranger Team and I are super close. Eddie is like the Big Bro I never had. Minnie is like a little sister, though she thinks she's more responsible than me, and we have known each other since we were kids.

And Jo is a great boss who I respect, and although she's never said it, I think she cares about us too.

The Girls of Team Wild Dragoon are pretty awesome too.

Jo decided to help out an up and coming team of Poke-Tri-Games athletes and they work in our Cafe to help support their team and we see a lot of each other.

Konani is very nice and knows so much about herbs, plants and foraging, and she's surprisingly very funny. If you ever go into the cafe and see a funny chalk writing, it's probably hers.

Vea is very passoniate and can be a lot to handle but she has the back of anyone she deems worthy, so despite her abrasive and in your face attitude, she's pretty cool. I often see her and Minnie getting in little competitions, so it's good that Minnie has a friend.

And Tia...she's, pretty cool. It's a little hard to describe her but "determined" is a good start. A lot of people seem to write her off as "uptight, srandoff-ish, and ice cold" but she's actually very caring and nice, she just doesn't talk alot.

We were getting a lot of people asking if she was in a bad mood when they first started but we assured them that she was fine. She doesn't have a glare that could freeze a Glaceon soild, but I think she's just trying to figure people out.

I really admire how hard she works at it, and when she's in the sky training for their next competition, it's really something to see.

But uh...yeah I think I really care for my found family a lot!

random phone calls throughout the day to say "I miss you." + cam and Derek john!

this is their boy-best-friends-i-have-a-crush-on-you-no-i-dont-i-think-about-kissing-you-all-the-time-era

-

It only took Cam a day he before started calling Derek John. They'd been stuck together for almost half a year and it only took him a day before he needed to talk to him again. (Not that Derek John was one to judge. He'd been thinking about him nonstop, ever since he got off the plane.)

He almost didn't answer it because he didn't have the number saved – he'd forgotten that Cam didn't actually have a cellphone because they hadn't even needed it, living together and seeing each other every day and all – but something in his gut told him he had to.

He was lying in bed, playing his old 3DS his father had found, when he got the call. "Hello?"

"I think my house is haunted," Cam's voice said, coming through Derek John's phone speaker crackled because he accidentally dropped it in the sink earlier and hadn't quite gotten all the water out.

He sat up, feeling like he had to be upright for this conversation and tried to visualize Cam on the other side of the line. On the other side of the country.

He was probably wearing his stupid Snoopy pajamas, the ones with the hole in the right inner thigh, and a shirt he had stolen from someone in the group. He was probably sitting in the dark because he was a freak, twirling the phone cord around his finger like the girls in the old movies he loved so much.

"Cam?" he asked, even though he knew who it is was. "Isn't it like one in the morning for you?"

They'd all done the math to calculate the time differences between them on Starbucks napkins, because Eddie was insistent that timezones were fake and time was the same everywhere.

Cam hummed in acknowledgement. "Yeah. But there's a ghost and I got scared and my mom and abuela are asleep. So I called you."

He said it like it was a casual thing to say, like it hadn't made Derek John's heart skip in his chest.

That was the one good thing about the distance. At least Cam wasn't there to witness the effect he had on him. He could keep all his embarrassing lovestruck feelings to himself.

"Aww, you want me to protect you from the big bad ghost?" he teased.

Cam scoffed. “No. You’re on the other side of the country. What could you do, yell at it?” Derek John could practically hear his eye roll. “No I just.. I missed you, if I’m being honest. And you make me feel brave and I need all the bravery I can get if there’s a fuckin' ghost in my house.”

Derek John was going to pass out. Honesty wasn’t Cam’s thing, always masking his feelings and his words through five layers of performance, but when he was telling the truth, it always felt like a punch to the face.

“Why do you think there’s a ghost?” he asked instead of responding to Cam’s admission.

Cam launched into a story about how his house was creaking and groaning and he had seen a floating white apparition in the bathroom earlier that day.

Derek John nodded along, interjecting in all the right places with skepticism and logical reasoning for creaking floors and tricks of the light.

They stayed on the phone until they both fell asleep, Cam snoring softly in his ear, Pokemon long forgotten.

Before he fell asleep though, Derek John made sure to whisper "I missed you too" even though Cam wasn't awake to hear it.

my experience in the Harry Potter fandom (before we all realized Rowling was a talentless hack, an attention whore, and a spiteful bitch) from ages 6 to 12 was blind adoration, until the last book came out and was a steaming pile of shit thus killing my interest in the series and turning me into the most jaded of teenagers you’ve ever met in your entire life.

i still read the odd fic here and there, but ages 13-16 I was way more into avatar the last airbender, avengers, pokemon, jak & daxter, warcraft, inheritance, death note, invader zim, and all of my contemporaries were into HP and twilight and thus by extension so was I. and I still occasionally was like okay yeah the books are mediocre schlock at best but hey they helped destigmatize the occult in the mainstream eye, and the movies did the best job they could with what they were given, and the books COULD have been good if only you’d just changed like 90% of them. the fandom wasn’t about the books themselves, it was all about the culture that the books had created. because nobody really read any of the books more than once because everybody just watched the movies (DON’T EVEN LIE AND SAY THATS NOT TRUE).

we all rolled our eyes at rowling jingling her keys to make us talk about it again and again but it’s like, ok so dumbledore is gay but you didn’t fucking show it and you made the actual gay character lupin die offscreen, ok so snape was apparently a good person underneath being a toxic shitlord but you didn’t fucking show it and you made the actual only good person hagrid a complete non-entity, ok so Anthony Goldstein was apparently your jewish representation but you didn’t fucking even say his goddamn name once in the entire series and the only black characters were racebent for the movies because you didn’t fucking even mention they were black because we know full fuckin well that every single character was white except for CHO. GODDAMN. CHANG.

all you really had to do was say, okay yeah in my youthful ignorance I accidentally made a contribution to problematic media and so I will now strive to fix my mistakes and write a new series that shows how I have grown as an author. except she didn’t do that. she just greenlit the cursed child and accepted royalties for fantastic beasts. and if it weren’t for eddie redmayne and the fact that it’s part of a licensed franchise, the movie would have totally flopped. it was not very good. and jude law and johnny depp did their best but the script was awful and it suffered from prequelitis (which so far only Star Wars has avoided and even then only very narrowly due to saturation). rowling didn’t even have any fucking writing credits on the movie but she made a fat stack of cash anyway. that’s a trend you’ll notice.

every single way I ever found enjoyment in the fandom was in reading people on here suggesting ways to improve it, or to parody it. like desi harry and black hermione, a very potter musical, potter puppet pals, a billion different rewrites that were all way better than the source materials. i even read my immortal, AND YES IT IS REALLY REALLY BAD not even in an ironic so bad it’s good kind of way, I mean that it was just absolutely godawful in every conceivable way, and was only a highlight of how not to write a fanfic. it was so bad that I reread the original books as a palate cleanser. and let me tell you this, harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone is one of the clumsiest books I’d ever read as a teenager. it’s completely amateur in every way, and it made me understand just why it was so popular with the 13-16 year old crowd. it was written at their reading level. the passages from the actual HP books are all virtually indistinguishable from fanfictions I read over a decade ago made by people who are in their early 20s now. in fact there are plenty of fanfictions written by teenagers that are better written than even the least shitty HP book which is defaulted to half blood prince if only because for once there’s actually some narrative cohesion that isn’t a complete and total ass pull and because if you’ve written five full length books then you goddamn well better understand the basics. engaging with the source material was not fun at all and the only way to milk any fun from it was to make fun of it. and by age 16 I was sick and tired of the cynicism. and around that age is when I joined the my little pony fandom.

and they were the two best years of my life at the time. it was nice to be engaging with wholesome content while also making memes that poked fun at its occasional harmless flaws. I watched other fandoms from a distance but MLP was my primary and honestly it still is, I just haven’t been as heavily involved with it these days beyond listening to the music and rebubbling fanart and even on occasion dabbling in the fanfic realm. but it was integral to me figuring out that hey wait a second I’m not a boy after all haha oops. so when I was 18 and finally transed my gender everything was… fine. ten years later I’m more into games that end with craft lmao

and then everything changed when the terf nation attacked.

by the time the queer parts of the Harry Potter fanbase (who weren’t abject pieces of garbage) were shocked & appalled by the betrayal I was the old coot in my rocking chair holding back the urge to say I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. when people went back and were like, hey actually wow the books were full of racism and antisemitism, all of the black brown jewish etc parts of the former fandom did not hold back the urge to say we fucking told you so. but as a whole white trans people didn’t really seem to care about its problematic natures until it affected them. which is not a good enough reason to bully harass and suicidebait them especially since they were like 12. thankfully that seems to have done wonders in having the collective media literacy of white trans teenagers increase somewhat. that was a few years ago now and I’ll freely admit that I’m somewhat out of touch with the youth right now, I don’t have a tiktok, I don’t use twitter or instagram, I barely use tumblr. i couldn’t tell you the name of one single popular singer these days, and if I did it would be someone that the kids would roll their eyes at and call me a boomer because I said rihanna or beyonce or nicki minaj or something from the 00s and/or 10s. my favorite musicians all started in the 90s. if I asked out somebody who was only 20 it would be weird and creepy. i know where I stand in society these days and that’s fine. but I don’t exactly know where things stand as far as where most teenagers are at. i hope they’re doing fine. i hope they escaped the clutches of the damage HP did. oh wait I forgot about the blood libel game, gOD DAMN IT-

So, how would Symbiotes work in the Pokemon world? Would it be like the Marvel Symbiotes and Ingo is kinda a suit, or would it be different from them? After your post about the AU I got curious and wanted to know more. Sorry to ask if your busy.

THAT'S A DAMN GOOD QUESTION AND like. I wasn't even thinking about it when I made the symbiote!Ingo post, I was just looking at Venom things and thinking "oh wouldn't THAT be funny!" I will now be thinking on it though. In the answer of your ask.

Sorry fdsjkfa

So I THINK it's possible for symbiotes to fully suit-up like Venom does, but that tends to be between adult Klyntar and adult humans. It would make sense! Ingo can but since he bonded with Emmet when they were both children, he's got the sense-memory but he's never. Really done that. He's, of course, provided pieces of a suit (it's part of what makes Emmet nearly impervious to being electrocuted, and why Ingo can wade among Lady Sneasler's Sneaslings without getting poisoned to death) but fully suiting up isn't something he's ever done. He really regrets not being able to when they were falling into Hisui and he had to choose which pieces of Emmet to cover and couldn't cover his head fast enough.

I imagine Emmet's parents either knew someone with a symbiote or one of them contained a symbiote who spawned, and that spawn was Ingo. Unlike Venom and Eddie preventing Sleeper from bonding with anyone to prevent them from turning into a monster, the symbiote parent (probably not thinking worrying like they were) rather thought "a child isn't a monster, so two kids together probably won't be a problem". They did wait until the Ingo symbiote was not freshly born, likely several months to a year, and by that point I think Ingo and Emmet had met and already were having conversations through their own sort of sign language and bonding.

Similar to how the Venom symbiote was hosted by a dog at one point in Venom (2018), the handful of symbiotes inhabiting the pokemon world can also be hosted by pokemon. Generally they only do so out of necessity as they can be caught by humans while within a pokemon's body. Ingo has been hosted by a couple of Emmet's (and his own) pokemon before, but that was always out of necessity or accident. He and Emmet have been brothers for so long that Ingo is used to a human body and honestly kind of... naive when it comes to any other sort of body.

Unlike the traditional symbiote, Ingo has the ability to look almost entirely human when he's manifesting outside of Emmet's body. Almost entirely human, which is why double battles are not frequently hosted - can't have anyone besides Emmet seeing Goo-Ingo too often and realizing he doesn't move entirely right, and his shadows are a bit too shiny, and his eyes a bit too bright - and why he prefers to simply pilot Emmet's body in clothing they bought for himself. Maintaining a corporeal form of his own manifestation is taxing for him as well, and not something he likes to do too often.

Ingo is probably one of half a handful of symbiote spawns, if there are any other spawns. Frankly the pokemon world can be incredibly hazardous for symbiotes due to the nature of how pokemon attack. Despite being sturdy they can absolutely still be injured by fire attacks and pokemon that are incredibly loud- none of them like the Whismur line. Most of the symbiotes in the pokemon world take to human hosts or hide themselves in places where fire-type pokemon are unlikely to be found, such as deep-sea Corsola, Clamperl, etc. For the most part, the symbiotes with human hosts tend to get along with them. The group that crashed into the pokemon world were less interested in invading once they realized how easily it would be for them to be killed. On the one hand- superpowered abilities to fight? Fuck yeah! On the other hand- they literally have fire-breathing dragons. Fuck that!

Venom/Eddie Brock with a Pokemon Trainer S/O

Yeah. I decided to take a crack at something different than just stories or ideas. Be warned that I rarely do this stuff. The closest was some shared headcanons with shadowspice119. Anyway, for this page it'll be Venom and Eddie together. The next one with these two will have separate interactions between Eddie or Venom with their s/o. S/O lives in the Galar Region on an island between Crown Tundra and Isle of Armor. Movie or Comics can be applied to this. Can be read as gender neutral or preferred gender.

Venom and Eddie first met you when they unceremoniously fell into your berry garden. The two were found unconscious by your Pokemon partner, a Shiny Grimmsnarl.

Bringing them (or him from what you knew as Venom slept in the man's gut) in was easy. When he woke up was a whole other story.

Seeing a slimy black head pop out of the guy's shoulder and spooked your poor Grimmsnarl warranted an answer.

Quick explanation later. You learned the guy's name was Eddie and his goo or symbiote partner was Venom. And somehow they ended up in your universe.

In return, you explained to them about your world and Pokemon. Both seemed curious moreso Venom who gotten friendly with your Grimmsnarl.

Getting them back home wouldn't be difficult since one of your Pokemon, Lunala, could easily cross dimensions without trouble. So when Eddie and Venom asked to stay around for a bit, you obliged only if they helped around the house and behaved.

The two were quick to adapt in their own way. Eddie took a bit longer to get used to being around Pokemon. Venom was ecstatic since they aren't cooped up as much.

You allowed Venom to roughhouse with your Pokemon but only if they had permission from Eddie and the Pokemon in question. Usually it was your Grimmsnarl that had the honor of going to toe to toe with the Lethal Protector.

Seeing Venom practically cover Eddie like a cloak for the first time was interesting and you weren't ashamed about examining them in this state.

Giving Eddie a list of items and foods for Venom's Phenethylamine based diet almost had the man burst into tears with relief. He did argue with his alien partner when the symbiote began ranting about being starved or forced to eat chickens at some point.

When the time came to take them home, Venom and Eddie were a bit heartbroken about parting ways. So imagine their surprise later to see you walking up to them on their way to Ms. Chen's store.

Just because you were taking them back to their world didn't mean you weren't going to visit. Plus you might have a crush on them but wasn't going to barge into their relationship like a homewrecker.

Only when the feeling was mutual on all sides were you going to leap at chance of dating them. Probably helped that your Grimmsnarl was playing matchmaker behind your back.

That's it! I might do more of these in the future with different characters. I do not take requests however as I do this stuff for fun. And I'm not really confident in my skills to do such.

I chose Shiny Grimmsnarl cause I wanted a Yin/Yang theme between them for this. Eddie/Venom being an antihero that can be kind while their s/o and their partner are the opposite, helpful and kind but capable of breaking the rules should push comes to shove.

Until next time, have a good day. This is a Shiny Grimmsnarl btw. A normal Grimmsnarl has black fur and green skin.

Parts: 1, 2, 3

Buddie Pokemon Au Headcannons

So in this version of the pokemon world people are only aloud one pokemon partner unless they are a certified pokemon trainer

You have to be 18 to be a pokemon trainer and compete in either contest or pokemon battles.

Buck after leaving home took his certification classes and test and before he knew it he was traveling down the East coast with his scorebunny Blaze and his old Jeep Maddie gave him

While still in Pennsylvania he caught a little feltchling he named Flick

Along the way he caught an eevee named Darwin while he was still in New Jersey

Next he caught a little voltik he named Sparky while in Florida

After that he caught a Dratini while crossing the Mississippi river he named Eragon

The final pokemon Buck caught was a little deerling he named Bambi that he caught while in Texas

After Bambi Buck was done catching pokemon instead focusing on traveling and ended up competing in the Pokemon League in Peru

It it was a great journey that ended with all of Buck's team fully evolving except for Blaze who refused to evolve, not that Buck minded

He was a little shocked when Darwin evolved into a Espeon but couldn't be prouder

So is new team consisted of Scorbunny (Blaze), Talonflame (Flick), Espeon (Darwin), Galvantula (Sparky), Dragonite (Eragon), and Sawsbuck (Bambi)

And he won

He was the new pokemon champion of Peru

He didn't get too much press about his new position outside Peru because it was consider to be a smaller league.

Though he was well know in trainer circles because he won a pokemon League on his first try, something that almost impossible

He remained champion for 3 years before he decided he wanted a change.

He found another young trainer who held promise and a good heart

Buck trained them and they were able to beat him in the championship and became the new champion

Then he headed to LA and joined the fire academy

He never really brought up his pokemon trainer past to anyone

LA wasn't really a stop for most pokemon trainers.

LA didn't have a pokemon gym and sense trainers only had a year to collect all the badges there wasn't really a need to come to a city with nobody worth battling in it

Blaze was never one to like hanging out in his ball so he trained with Buck in the academy and the rest on Buck's pokemon got to run free on the weekends in the parks around Buck's home

When Buck was assigned to the 118 he felt like he found his home

Blaze got along well with the other pokemon of the 118, Chim's chikorita (Radish), Hen's chansey (Nurse), and Cap's wartortle (Tide)

Buck never told anybody he was a trainer, not even Abby

It wasn't that he was ashamed of his past

Far from it in fact

It just never came up and after a while Buck forgot that his family didn't know this about himself

Then Abby left and Eddie came and with Eddie Christopher and Eddie's growlithe, Fuego

Christopher didn't have a partner pokemon yet

Children usually got one when they turned 10

Buck has already promise to help Chris

Before either man knew it Buck had became a major part of the small family, doing whatever he could to help

The team didn't find out about Buck's past until the tsunami

Buck usually carried all his pokemon with him when not on duty carrying their balls on a small pouch attached to his belt

When Buck realized what was about to hit he immediately called Blaze in his pokeball and started running while carrying Chris.

He started to yell to people to call in their pokemon and the get off the peir

He kept running a yelling until he reached a game stoll and did his best to hunker down there

There was no way Eragon could get them out of the way fast enough and if the wave hit them up while in the sky there was no telling what could happen to them

After the wave hit Buck did his best to get Chris to safety, which for now was on top of a firetruck

He quickly checked on his pokemon relieved when all 6 were still safe in their pokemon balls

Buck: Sparky come on out

Sparky came out of her ball giving a concern trill to her trainer

Buck gave her a reassuring pat

Chris' eyes widen in surprised: You have more than 1 pokemon Buck?

Buck blushing: Yeah I have 6 pokemon did I forget to tell you that?

Chris excited: YES!

Buck: Oh sorry buddy. I didn't mean to keep that from you. Well this is Sparky she's going to make a safety line for you just in case something happens you won't fall back into the water, okay?

Chris: Okay Buck. Can I meet your other pokemon?

Buck: I'll tell you what buddy after this you can not only meet but play with all my pokemon as much as you want

Chris eyes widening: Really?!

Buck: Really

Buck instructed Sparky to spray some web on the roof of the truck

He tied the web around Chris giving him enough slack to move around a bit but not enough to make it over the side of the truck.

Woman: HELP!!! HELP!!!

Buck followed the sound of the voice and saw a woman trapped in her car

Buck:. HANG IN THERE I'M GOING TO GET YOU OUT! Sparky use string shot to make a rope across the other side of the street. Make it low enough that other people can grab it from the water

The Galvantula followed her trainer's instructions being careful not to use any of her electric power

Buck: Good girl! Now watch over Chris for me, while I help that woman, okay?

Sparky trilled in agreement.

Buck made his way over to the woman

Buck: I'm LAFD move away from the window as much as you can, do you have a pokemon with you?

Woman:. I have a bonsly but he's in his ball

Buck: Good keep him in there for now. Once I get you out of there grab onto the web and I'm going to help you up on the firetruck okay?

Woman: Okay

Buck got the woman out and on the firetruck with Chris and Sparky

Buck: Can you watch him for me real quick?

Woman: Of course

Buck kneeling down: Chris I'm going to call Blaze out and this woman and him is going to watch over you for just a little bit okay?

Chris: Okay

Buck called out Blaze and instructed him to watch over Chris

Woman: You're a pokemon trainer?

Buck: Yeah I'm going to call out some more of my pokemon to help find other survivers and maybe flag down a rescue crew

Buck called out Flick and Eragon

Buck: Okay guys, are you ready to help?

Both pokemon called out their excitement

Buck: Great! Eragon I want you to look for people in the water, pull them out and bring them here. Either bring them to the truck or put them on the roof top over there.

Buck pointed to the building beside the truck.

Eragon gave a nod and flew into the air

Buck: Flick I want you to keep an eye out for any rescue crews near by. If one comes close flag them down

Flick nibbled at Buck's ear to show he understood before flying up to a higher vantage point to keep and eye out for rescuers

Buck: Sparky I want you to weave a ladder bridge from the truck to that buildings roof top.

Sparky nudge Chris goodbye before following orders.

Chris: BUCK! LOOK!

Buck turned around and saw a bunch of people floating towards them

Buck: Hey grab onto the web

As the people grabbed for the web Buck started to pull people onto the truck

As he dragged the last survivor on to the truck Eragon had returned with two teenagers and placed them on the truck

Buck: Good job Eragon! Keep it up! Are you two okay?

Teen 1: Yeah thanks to your Dragonite

Teen 2 looking starstruck: Are you Evan Buckley? The former pokemon champion of Peru?

Buck smiling: Yeah, I didn't think anybody knew about me outside of Peru.

Teen 2: Are you kidding? You're famous among trainers! It's because of you that I'm going to become a trainer once I'm 18!

Buck: Really? Then I'll tell you what, once you got a full team under your belt. You can come find me at the 118 firehouse. We can battle it out.

Teen 2: Really?!?!

Buck: Sure

The teen continues to talk to Buck and Chris about different types on pokemon and how to balance a good team

As the day went on more and more people were either dropped off on the truck and building or pulled out of the water by people on the truck

In the end there were around 40 people on the roof and the truck

Miraculously all had relatively minor injuries

When the water was finally reseeded enough for them to leave the high ground and search out help Buck took the lead

Buck: You did great today Eragon! Time for you to take a nice rest.

Buck returned Eragon to his ball.

Buck: Flick I want you to fly ahead of us. Keep an eye out for either first responders or a mobile command unit. Once you find one I want you to circle it a signal us with your flames

Flick chirped and stretched his wings ready to fly

Chris tugging on Buck's shirt: Can Sparky stay out with us?

Buck: If Sparky is okay with that then sure buddy

Sparky gave a cry to show she wanted to stay out.

Buck laughing and hoisting Chris onto his back:. I'll take that as a yes

Buck made sure that Christopher was comfortable on his back before turning around to face the group of survivors that gathered on the street

Buck:. Okay guys we're almost home free. We need to get to higher ground! Everybody follow me. If you see a pokeball pick it up! That's somebody's partner! If any of you need a break let me know and we'll rest! Everybody got it?

The group yelled their confirmation

Buck: Good! Let's head out!

The group began to walk heading away from the ocean and towards the land

Buck and Sparky did their best to hide any dead bodies from Christopher by Buck either jokingly covering his eyes or Sparky climbing up Buck to get in Christopher's face and block his view from the world.

The group walked for hours collecting about 15 pokeballs that were separated from their owners

It was dark when the group made it to the veterans hospital, with Flick doing his best to signal to the group and warn the first responders that a group was coming

Eddie was unaware that his son or his crush was caught in the tsunami

He wasn't aware of anything besides helping the injured until he heard a pokemon cry

Flick: TALONFLAME!

Eddie looked up to see a talonflame circling over the building lighting it's wings in fire to create a beacon above them

Eddie: Do you think that Talonflame is trying to tell us something

Chin looking up: I don't know. It's looks like it's signaling to somebody

Eddie was about to reply when he heard a cry

Christopher: DAD!

Eddie looked up to see Christopher on Buck's back with Galvantula resting on his son's head and back

Eddie: CHRISTOPHER! BUCK!

Eddie started to run towards the two calling out their names

Buck met him half way moving Christopher to the front of him as he ran

Once Eddie had both his boys wrapped in his arms he let what must have happened to them sink in

Chris and Sparky was squished between the two men with his father covering his head with kisses

Eddie: thank God your okay, thank God.

Eddie kept repeating this while peppering his son's head with kisses

Instinct took over and he kissed Buck on the lips

Buck was shocked but was quick to kiss him again

Eddie was about to finally tell Buck he loves him when they were interrupted by the Talonflame

Flick: TALON!

Buck reluctantly pulls away from his boys

Buck: FLICK! You did such a good job!

Flick landed on Buck's outstretched arm

Flick started to rub his head against Buck's

Eddie: Who's pokemon is that Buck?

Buck:. Oh I guess I never told, sorry. He's mine

Eddie was about to question him further when Christopher interrupted him

Chris holding Sparky: Buck's a pokemon trainer dad! He was even a champion for a bit! This is Sparky, she helped make sure I stayed safe! Right Sparky?

Sparky have her trill of confirmation

Eddie gave Buck a look

Eddie:. We'll have to talk about this later,but for now I'm so glad you're okay.

Eddie once again embraced Buck and kissed him again

Eddie touching his forehead to Buck's

Eddie:. I love you, you big idiot

Buck:. I love you too

At this point the rest of the 118 had caught up to Eddie

Hen: Buck! Are you okay?!

Buck: I'm fine Hen really. I have a group of about 40 people and 15 pokemon that were separated from their partners. We don't know how they look.

Hen:. Okay good job Buck! Nurse time to work!

Hen called out her pokemon Chansey aka Nurse

Hen: Nurse collect everybody's pokemon and take them over to the pokemon center station and help them any way you can over there, okay?

Nurse: Chansey!

Hen finally address the crowd that had gathered behind Buck:. OKAY PEOPLE MY CHANSEY IS GOING TO COLLECT YOUR POKEMON AND TAKE THEM TO THE POKEMON CENTER STATION! THEY WILL BE RETURN TO YOU AFTER YOU ARE CHECKED OUT BY A PARAMEDIC! IF YOU LOST YOUR POKEMON CHECK AT THAT STATION AFTER YOU ARE CHECKED OUT BY PARAMEDICS!

With Christopher finally safe and all the people in the group being checked out Buck felt everything hit him at once and fainted out of exhaustion

He woke up a day later in Eddie's bed being cuddled not only by Christopher and Eddie but also all his pokemon and Eddie's growlithe

Which really amazed Buck that they could all fit on it especially Eragon who was wrapped around everybody

Buck has never felt so loved and truly accept then he did in that moment

6 months later Buck and Eddie were married

8 months later the pokemon League had finished for the year and pokemon trainers from all over the country came flooding to the 118 hoping to battle former Champion Evan Buckley

And Buck loved it

Inspiring new trainers while helping people with his family

It was a dream come true

Bonus

Chris's first pokemon ended up being Sparky's daughter and little Joltick her names Fizzle

“Richie Tozier to Emcee Rocky Horror Show”

So that’s where he was at. Headlining a small theatre in LA for October. His manager had begged him to do it, saying it would be good publicity, maybe overshadow some of the questionable shit he’d said in the past. He still hadn’t come out to Steve. It wasn’t because Steve would be angry, he was gay himself, it was that Richie was pretty sure that the pure shock would give him a heart attack. 

So instead he did gigs at Pride Events and Fundraisers- and now- Rocky Horror. He was still staring down at the headline on his phone, Bev had sent a photo of the newspaper she found while out for brunch with Ben. Their group chat was erupting with excitement, Bill was going to take a flight down to see the Halloween show, Mike was figuring out how to get back to LA from Michigan on his nationwide road trip, Stan and Patty had already bought their tickets and were seeing both the first and last shows, and Eddie was too busy moving to check his phone to see whatever nonsense they were chatting about. 

Richie sent off a quick text telling everyone to buy their tickets soon before they sold out. He had saved at least three seats at the last showing, perks of being the Emcee, but everyone else would have to buy ahead of time. 

Richie spent the entire day before the first show getting ready, running through lines and pacing back and forth. He’d been to showings before, but that was years ago, things had to have changed since then. When he arrived at the theatre a very eager stage manager was there to walk him through their rules and show him around. He only had to run through a couple of pre-made games and crack jokes while doing so. After the show he’d greet people in the hall with all of the performers. Easy as that. Steve was out of town on personal business, so Richie was alone in the venue for about an hour before anyone showed up. He scrolled through the group chat, looking over Eddie’s obsessive moving texts. Eddie sent photos upon photos of his new apartment asking for advice on decorating and furniture and the like. Richie knew that Eddie and Bev must call or FaceTime on the side from the way that they talked in the chat. He missed them. None of them had really met up since their reunion. Sure, he went to dinner with Stan and Patty once a month and called everyone at least once a week, but it felt so lacking. He still felt out of his element in comedy, even writing his own material, and finally realizing he was gay wasn’t helping. It only opened up a whole new can of worms that he was definitely not ready to face. 

Soon enough he was being ushered on stage, a microphone in hand and a smile on his face. The crowd only quieted slightly. Looking out at all of the faces in the crowd, he saw kids in costumes, teenagers dragging their friends along and smudging makeup all over their faces, rows and rows of dyed hair and wigs, smiles that were ground so deeply into the faces that stared back at him. And it felt oddly familiar. These people were just like all of them. Losers. Catching his eye on Stan and Patty, Richie took a deep breath and waved out to the theatre. The lights were up and it felt a lot more intimate than his comedy shows ever did.

“What is UP? It’s nice to see all of you here tonight, I’m Richie, I’ll be your Emcee tonight. Just a quick reminder that there are exits on both sides of the aircraft and lavatories in the back. In case of an emergency, your seat can be used as a flotation device. And, unfortunately, I am required to go over some rules with you guys.” The crowd booed and whooped, egging Richie on. 

“I know, I know, rules.” He took the mic off the stand and began to pace the stage. As he listed out the rules the crowd continued on with their screaming, interrupting and adding their own one liners. Richie had to stop twice to bite back laughter because of a woman in the second row who kept yelling out Pokemon names every time he gestured his hand to the side. A couple of kids in the back row kept chatting the entire time. People came and went from the bathrooms and bar. But it wasn’t malicious. It felt nice to not have everyone’s attention. 

And then the games began. The first was a moaning competition. This wasn’t something the venue had set up for him, but he had cleared it by the stage manager when he arrived. At Richie’s first ever Rocky Horror in a small run down theatre outside of Derry they had the grisliest, grossest, moaning competition. And he was determined to make everyone else suffer through what he had to. 

A couple of the crew members came out from the wings to sit with their legs dangling over the edge of the stage. Richie announced the game and sent them out for volunteers. A woman with suspenders and wide rimmed glasses came sprawling onto the stage, followed closely by another woman in a light pink dress holding her hand. Richie leaned down to one of the crew members and pointed to Stan, who was whispering something to Patty. A young man dressed up as Rocky was the next one on stage, walking awkwardly in his small costume. And finally, Stanley Uris waltzed onto the stage. Richie explained the rules to them and started coaching them, finally he had them release their ungodly moans into the microphone, wiping it between each person. Stan, bless his soul, let out a heart wrenching scream. To cap off the game, the audience cheered to decide who would win and Stan got to take home a pack of starbursts. 

The rest of the night went by surprisingly well. They ran through the rest of the games and started the movie. Richie watched from his seat on the balcony, screaming out obscenities and watching as everyone else did the same. He got doused with water by someone behind him who had brought a super soaker. After the show, he made his way out to the little booth they had set up in the lobby and signed merch. He got to talk to a lot of long-time fans of his. A couple of women asked him to sign various parts of their body, he had to turn down a young woman who asked him to sign her tits. The stage manager had drawn the line at that. 

The showings kept getting better and better the more he did. The people that came up to him after the show shared amazing stories of self discovery and growth with him and he got to meet a large portion of the queer community. They were all surprisingly nice to him, which he hadn’t expected after years of misogynistic ghost writers and your-mom jokes. 

Finally, the last show rolled around. Halloween night. Richie got there at the same time per usual and the stage manager greeted him with a hug. She was dressed up as a vampire, full cape and all. Richie smiled and gawked as she spun around, “Well shit, am I supposed to be in costume?” She laughed and explained their tradition to him. Everyone at the theatre dressed up on Halloween, even if it made the crew more noticeable than their usual black outfits. Looking around at the scattering crew, each of which was colorful and bobbing from behind masks and makeup, he felt completely underdressed. 

He sent a text to Bev quickly, asking her to bring along a costume. She sent back a winky face and he sighed deeply. Apparently all of the losers had driven together, as they walked in one giant bubbling heap. Richie dipped down from behind the stage and out the side door into the crowd, meeting Bev at her seat. She pulled him down to kiss his cheek gently and pull him into a crushing hug before sending him on his way with a plastic bag. Backstage Richie pulled out a bright red cape lined in faux fur and a small plastic crown. He texted Bev an obscenity and wrapped the cape around his shoulders. 

Walking out onto stage, everyone was dressed up. Rows and rows of characters he couldn’t even begin to guess. There were so many smiling faces all aimed at him. It was like basking in the sun of a beautiful tropic beach. He did his spiel about the rules, groaning and quieting the audience the entire time. 

At the end of it all he called the crew out to grab audience members, pointing out where the losers where seated. Mike was the first one dragged on stage, then Ben followed closely by Bev, then a very sheepish Bill, Stan was spared from the game only because he had already been subjected to this shit, and finally, Eddie was pulled up on stage. Richie explained the game and had them huddle together. 

“Fuck you man.” Eddie said exasperated but fond. 

“This is the shittiest thing you’ve done yet.” Mike laughed. 

“You are a complete and utter dumbass.” Bev whined lovingly.

Richie sighed happily, pulling everyone closer. “Just know that our friendship hinges on who wins.”

“Oh it’s on.” Bill side-eyed Richie and pulled back from the huddle. 

Richie started with Mike, who gave it his best shot. He actually tried to moan in a pretty deranged and wild sort of way. Richie glanced wide-eyed into the audience, which caused an uproar. Then it was Ben, who had to take a minute to completely compose himself. When he was ready, he let out a sigh-like sound that was completely guttural. Bev doubled over laughing and Richie shook his head disapprovingly. Bev was next and she put her soul into it. She pulled her dress upper leg, rolling her eyes back and pulling the mic up to her lips as she gave a very low, very fake, moan to the audience. This was met with applause from the back row. Bill, ever the competitive type, tried to parody Bev’s attempt by pulling him pant leg up and practically swallowing the mic. Richie spent almost five whole minutes wiping the mic on his cape. Then it was Eddie, who outright refused. They went back and forth, making a show out of their bickering for the audience. 

“C’mon Eds, it’s just a little-”

“Don’t call me that.” Eddie pointed with his entire hand, “And it’s gross. I hate you.”

After some coaxing from a tipsy Bev, Eddie finally gave in. He took the mic and breathed out a couple of times before giving an honest to god moan. Richie took the mic back and tapped his shoe on the stage for a second, staring at the floor. 

“You know Eds, that sounded awfully familiar.”

“Oh real mature dude.”

“Your mom used to-” He didn’t get to finish as Eddie wrestled the mic out of his hands and the crowd started cheering. Half were rooting for Eddie and the other half for Richie. When Richie finally got the mic back, he did the obligatory cheer voting, and Bev won, though Eddie had a cult following of teens on the balcony. He sent them back down and threw some starbursts at Bev. The rest of the games went by, he only tripped over his cape once. And as soon as it was over he took to his seat besides Bev, Ben, and Eddie. Bev had scribbled a ‘V’ on Ben and Eddie’s cheeks with her red lipstick. They both looked equally flustered by it and Eddie sat with his arms crossed. 

“So, first time, huh?” Richie sat down and threw his cape over the back of Eddie’s seat. 

Eddie huffed, shifting in his seat. “Shut up.”

“Starburst?” Bev offered. 

“I’m okay.” Richie smiled, waving her off. 

Eddie seemed get into the movie as it went on. They all got up and did the Time Warp, Richie guiding Eddie along the way. Ben leaned over to tell them all about Meatloaf when cousin Eddie appeared on screen. Eddie complained when he was killed off, and complained even more when he realized that they were eating him. Cannibalism was on his long list of gross things he knew way too much about. Ben was visibly spooked by the sex scenes, Bev had to reach over and hold his hand to keep him from combusting from embarrassment. Richie was expecting a similar reaction from Eddie, but instead he got a hard glare the entire time. Eddie completely ignored what was happening on screen and fixated his judgmental little eyes on Richie until it was over. 

Eddie gestured to the screen as the scene drew to a close. “You didn’t say anything about-”

“Well I didn't know you were a virgin.” Richie countered, smiling viciously and scarfing down a starburst. 

“Fuck you, actually, fuck you man.”

The excitement of the night was getting to Richie and he was feeling especially alive. “Buy me dinner first.” He muttered to Eddie, leaning down to say it directly into his ear.

GloriaLocke (1.The Grass badge and Milo)

Hi all, this a written version of my latest Nuzloke attempt, it is still ongoing but im enjoying the challenge. However i'm calling it Gloria Locke, as i decided to use the name gloria as thats the name of the female player character.

Just to make it clear I have tried a few (alot) of times to do a nuzlocke but this is the longest one I have done.As it is ongoing, so this will be more of a recap of the events so far or my journey on this nuzlocke.

Note: I will be making changes to the players hair and clothes.

Extra note: Oh and there will be spoilers for the story of the game, so please don't read if you haven't played the game

So as i mentioned i went with the name gloria, just thought it was fitting (hoped it might give me some luck for the journey). As for my starter i went with grookey as my first normal run through was scorbunny and the first nuzlocke i tried to do with this game was sobble. So for this time i had only one natural choice Grookey who i named Gina. I just like the name Gina.

Gina and I smashed it through the hops team without any problems, adding a new member soon after a rookie dee called Ray. Yes i had been watching princess and the frog that's were Ray came from. Next we went to the lab getting  a pokedex, then heading to Professor Magnolia having yet another hop battle. And caught a Zizagoon called Jake. I don't know I liked Jake as name for him. When finally making it to the wild area I tried a max raid battle which was a Honedge, Gina nearly didnt make it out but survived on 1 HP. Needles to say we didn't catch that Honedge.

After that and a very large opening ceremony the race to get the grass badge was on. Oh and yes, my number is 007 because why not. In our way to the grass badge, we picked up a new pokemon while training. An trubbish called Charles. However also lost Jake when training having run into a pokemon more powerful then him. So now Charles would have to pick up some of the work that jake had been doing.

With one team member down we made our way through the galar mine, finding Bede at the end. His team was too much and we lost Charles, i had now only two members left but then I remembered I hadn't caught a pokemon in the mine. Upon returning back in I found the drilbur which I called Amy. And Gina evolved into Thwackey with Ray evolving into Corvisquire.Finally we had made it to Turfield and the Grass Badge, on the way we picked up an eevee whom I called Eddie. Soon after I evolved Eddie into an leafeon with an leaf stone. This was it!. With our team of Gina, Ray and Eddie we were gonna face Milo. We faced the challenge and then Milo. Finishing off Milo with Ray with the move Air stream.

hey do you want to tell me some more things about buck ven whump? 😁

You know all there is to know, though!

But for @fleurdebeton and the general audience:

Pokemon AU. Buck and his pokemon, Ven, and no I'm not telling y'all what pokemon that is, only Emma and Michelle and the folks in the discord server get to know it, for now, get caught in a landslide at a hiking trail.

Whatever was going on, Eddie didn't like it. Or, well, whatever was about to go on. The shift had been slow, quiet, and while he could enjoy the downtime, Abby had just gotten out of her pokeball to start pacing the lounge area, stopping in front of Eddie every now and then.

It was making everybody tense, and even Bobby had turned away from the kitchen to observe the absol.

She stopped, staring at him while unnervingly still. It was making dread settle in his stomach, heavy and burning. She let out a grumble and resumed her pacing when his phone rang, startling him out of the staring contest he'd found himself in.

Pokemon are well integrated into society, and emergency services have a whole group of specifically trained pokemon at their disposal to assist in rescues.

Personal pokemon partners can also be trained to work alongside their humans, which is the case for Abby, Eldkatt, Ven and Mark Murdoch. Don't blame Chim for the name, his pokemon chose him more than he chose the pokemon.

Buck and Hen are, in particular, trained to give medical care for pokemon, and Buck's also, like, certified pokemon handler. Do picture him with a bunch of baby pokemon like Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Pichu.

(and yes, when the emergency is primarily about a pokemon, Hen and Buck are partnered together, taking the lead on it.)

Last but not least, I've accidentally been pushing a Dark-type agenda. Eddie, Christopher, Bobby, and Chim. Their pokemon are all Dark-types. I am not sorry, I love Dark-type pokemon with everything I am.

Come ask about my WIPs!

[madmaudlingoes]

I am quite delighted by my character in our latest superhero RPG (Masks: A New Generation) so under the cut is some rambling about him.

Executive summary: I love my shiny himbo son.

Eddie Tamblin went to the park outside Halcyon City with the rest of the JV lacrosse team to celebrate the end of a winning season. He left the barbecue/bonfire after dark to take a piss in the woods, but he caught a glimpse of a strange cold light in the distance. When he followed it, he found a beautiful woman dancing in a circle of mushrooms.

He is not entirely clear on what happened next. He thinks maybe she got him high? There was definitely music coming from somewhere, and she was very pretty. He is very clear that the woman got him to pledge to be her true knight, whatever the heck that means. Once he did, however, she revealed herself to be a fairy queen, and gloated that he’d just sold away his soul to her.

He tried to back out, but he’d given his word. She did, however, offer a compromise: a tower full of books and magical tools that Eddie had no idea how to use. Somewhere in there, she promised, was the secret to escaping her contract — but he has to find it before she decides she needs a human sacrifice.

Apparently what she meant by “true knight” was that Eddie got some bitching super powers — super strength and speed (though it meant he had to quit the lacrosse team), teleportation, and the ability to mentally conjure weapons and armor out of thin air. It’s all very medieval-looking, swords and chainmail sort of thing, but somehow he instinctively knows how to use them. What he does not know is where to even begin finding his way out of the curse. English is not his best subject, and there are a lot of books.

In the meantime, he’s taken up a few other teenaged supers from his high school, hoping to at least do some good with the time he has left. He calls himself the Knight Exigent, which is a phrase he found in one of the books in the magic tower, because it sounded cool. (Though when he looked up exigent online, it seemed kinda fitting, too.) The only person he’s confided in about the contract is Ephyna, his teammate; she seems way smarter than him, and has been training with the superhero Man-o-War, so he hoped she’d have some idea for wiggling out of the contract. His other teammates, Grom, is a space alien, and maybe aliens trump fairies, like a Pokemon kind of thing? And then there’s Jane, a preppy cheerleader who can throw cars through walls. Eddie doesn’t think she can help him fight a fairy, but she’s really cute and he wouldn’t mind taking her to prom.

(In our first session, we fought some nazis and smashed up a museum in the process and got told off by Superman. We are kind of terribly superheros.)

Background:

Edward Orson was a fairly ordinary person, aside from the ability to see a reality outside of the ordinary world. This ability was fairly somewhat common in children but tends to disappear as they grow older. Edward would be one of those with whom the ability did not fade...

The Ed Orson stories, Part 1:

It was on an ordinary first day of primary school that Edward noticed an unusual looking woman who noticed him back, and would follow him aroudn from a distance all day. When he returned home she would approach him directly, seeking some unelaborated power from him. She was the humanoid demon-witch Rita Repulsa, her caution would prove to be a mistake as five armoured warriors, the Power Rangers, would intervene. Periodically, for the rest of the year, Edward and friends would be in the middle of Rita and the Rangers' conflict.

Edward's corner of Earth would become a frequent battle ground for all sorts, good and evil, of the known universe and beyond.

The next year the Rangers would discover a pipe-like entrance to the Mushroom Kingdom and neibouring lands, the Machine Empire (an ancient army made from demon magitek), Kamek and a fake giant baby Bowser would attack. The year after, a Greater Demon, Maligore would stage his own assult on the Ranger's base on Earth thwarted by Zordon's sacrifice, along with a visit from a psychic creature whom developed a bond with Ed, which was a creature called a Pocket Monster or Pokemon, specifically a Kadabra/Alakazam. The fourth year saw a brief return of the Galactic Empire and almost a return of the 'Star Wars' of centuries past. Monsters of a place called the Digital World would emerge on Earth, others from a place called the 'Shadow Realm', over the next two years along with an explanation for the partitioning of realities.

After seven years, Ed would see cracks appear in his innocence as he saw more and more conflict, and a taste of several forms of power. He would come to wield two blades; the Golden Sword, a fragile, but excellent cutting weapon and the Sword of Triumph, a silvery demonic blade that was incredibly resilient, but had a dull edge. Ed's first taste of magic would be to cast a spell to intermittently merge the two into a near-perfect weapon called the GS Blade.On the seventh year, a tear in reality would see Ganondorf and his alter ego, Agahnim separated. The latter would, bizzarely, lead the former. Edward's first victory he personally dealt would be to slay Agahnim.

Part 3:

Edward's resurrection came at a cost. His genes had Time-Lord qualities imbued in it along with inheriting the memories of the Time-Lord's known as the Doctor, the Master and the Rani. His approach to fighting shifts heavily towards engineering. The knowledge of three Time-Lords proves burdensome on his mind

After years of fighting all sorts of interlopers not from Earth, the latest of which was the Combine empire, Edward discovers his most insidious foe comes from within Earth; the Illuminati. This conflict drives a wedge between Edward and many of his old allies, such as the Smash Bros. but he finds allies in a vampire civilization lead by a Mina Tepes III. They forge a pact with Japan to open a vampire-friendly micronation called the Vampire Bund. During this time, Edward would withdraw from the world, only engaging in it to perform acts of vigilantism.

A foray back and forth in time leads to Edward finding himself on a version of Earth taken over by a group called Cronos, monstrous creatures that can disguise themselves as human that spent millennia subsuming the governments of the world from the shadows. Edward shifts back in time to bargain with Arcanfel, turning Cronos from a nefarious organisation to Edward's best allies. He wold also discover the Guyver suits, which would end up laying the ground work to Guyver Lux, an armour with vast upgrade-ability and his his magnum opus.

Among his enemies were the personifications of the seven deadly sins, a giant parasite of the species that almost killed Gallifreyan civilisation before it could flourish, the GETHJERK, and a morally-bankrupt successor to the Wonderful 101. He would also find himself sliding to several alternate universes, discovering a dilapidated city under the ocean named Rapture and found a micro-nation of his own to frustrate the Illuminati, Viviacia.

What happens when a Pokémon outlived it's trainer?

Oof. Asking the tough questions today.

Honestly it varies from person to person but I think Eddie is the best Ranger here to ask.

------

Eddie: Oh yeah, Lotta people don't like to think bout this one, but it's not all bad.

I found Smokey (Bewear) as a Stufful.

She was incredibly burned and in bad shape, turns our that her trainers home burned down and unfortunately their trainer didn't make it.

She was my first rehabilitation experience.

Back then I really only saw all of this ranger stuff as a job, something temporary while worked on building a social media presence, I was trying to follow in the footsteps of my boi Raihan.

I thought it would be easy to just apply medicine, make sure she ate and watched her get better, but she just wouldn't eat.

Her body was getting better, but way slower than she should have been, and everyone was saying how she might not make it.

One day when I was trying to feed her, I noticed that she liked it when I was recording myself for vlogs and social media.

I started showing her my vids and she became interested, and I told her I'd show her more only if she started eating.

Eventually she started eating more and would get super excited when I would come by with my vids.

You wouldn't believe how fast she bounced back.

We contacted the trainers remaining family and found out that he loved taking photos and videos, and apparently his Stufful, who he named Smokey, enjoyed it too.

His family lived in another region and they wouldn't have time for her, so I offered to watch over her and keep her happy.

I try to meet with his family every so often and I communicate with them a lot.

Lot of the time, pokemon who outlive their trainers, either by old age or unfortunate events, tend to get depressed and are usually passed back to the family of the trainer, some finding comfort in this while other might shut down.

In some rare occasions some pokemon become more ferral or aggressive.

Smokey here is a great example of finding hope after a terrible loss, and now that she's evolved, she's such a huge help and she loves being in videos and vlogs.

She also loves to show off her power, so check out our socials and see what she can do!

Lates peeps!

Rai:

Eddie definitely has passion for what he does, and his dedication to pokemon is second to none.

Passing of a trainer is just as difficult as the passing of a pokemon, which is why our bonds and connections are so strong and so difficult to deal with but they are worth having.
