@heropartnerweek day 1: Cooking / Combat / Getting Lost

Noémi is still not quite used to having vines instead of arms, so a lot of the fine motor control for cooking and baking is tough for her. luckily for her and their teammate Scarlet, Stormcloud is secretly somewhat of a pastry chef!

Time to oc-ify the PMD DX team… Me and the bestie that I found unconscious in the woods

[melonthesprigatito]

Is anyone else still mad at the Pokémon Square townsfolk?

That whole "Pikachu is actually a human and the Ninetales legend says that when the human wakes up as a Pokémon, the world's balance will be upset and the apocalypse will happen. So we should """"get rid of""" Pikachu and the world will be saved, right?" thing.

Like, they take what Gengar, leader of Team Meanies, (and THE ACTUAL HUMAN TURNED POKÉMON FROM THE ACTUAL LEGEND) says at face value and immediately decide that murdering Pikachu is the only way to solve their problems.

They turn on the poor little Sugar the Pikachu and Sprinkles the Eevee who have been peacefully going about their lives doing their rescue work and have been nothing but friendly and conversing with everyone.

Rescue Team Sweetheart becomes public enemy number one and the townsfolk and every Rescue Team in existence chase two innocent Pokémon to the literal end of the continent, and Sugar and Sprinkles suffer from exhaustion, constant threat of attack, possible starvation, possible hypothermia, SPRINKLES DOES CATCH A COLD AT SOME POINT ("Eww, my nose is running!") for a period that is implied to last weeks or months. They also nearly get killed by TWO Legendary Birds!

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON TEAM A.C.T. Alakazam, the Gold Rank explorer with the IQ of 5000 gives into peer pressure and decides to join the lynch mob. Alakazam who is already aware of the Ninetales legend. How come Mr Big Shot Smart Explorer didn't try to diffuse the situation and find another solution?

Everyone trusts Alakazam enough that him being an eyewitness to Ninetales confirming that Sugar ain't evil in her past life and telling everyone she has nothing to do with the disasters is enough to clear her name. He could have said "Hey, how about we DON'T kill the supposed human who's causing the disasters? She has no motive, she lost her memories, we have no guarantee she's even the same human from the Ninetales legend that's causing the natural disasters, we should look into this and come up with a better solution."

But NOOOOO, Alakazam's all like "We came to a consensus, we must get rid of you." Charizard taunts Sprinkles before their battle on Mt Freeze like "I don't know how to show mercy" and all three of them would have killed Sugar and Sprinkles if Ninetales intervene.

Gengar receives no punishment for starting an international manhunt. All the townsfolk except for Caterpie, Metapod, Diglett, Jumpluff, Pelipper and Kangaskhan basically say "Sorry for suspecting you, I was 100% sure you were guilty, I had no faith in you at all."

Fucking Shiftry over there is like "I joined the chase with a heavy heart but only stopped going after them once they ran into Doomed Desolation Mt Blaze (actual way Mt Blaze is described in game) because I'm a Grass Type and fire doesn't agree with me." BITCH, I RISKED MY LIFE TO SAVE YOU FROM ZAPDOS. Why would you go along with the "Let's Kill Sugar" plan???

The townsfolk go back to acting like everything is normal and the rest of the rescue teams gather in the Square when Team A.C.T goes missing and I'm supposed to be courteous to the people who subjected me and Sprinkles to months of horrors based on the words of one individual who's famously untrustworthy.

I know it's a video game, but holy shit. If I were actually Sugar, I would never trust any of these people again. I would have left Alakazam's ass to melt in the Magma Cavern.

Behold the Beast of The Apocalypse and her sympathisers

Rescue Team - Team Fire Coral -

Orchid the Blaziken:

| + | She/He | + | Bigender Lesbian | + | ❤️ Seaslug

Spunky, protective, adventurous, and hot-headed. She often charges right into things on a whim and without thinking them through. His hot-headedness leads him to be fairly aggressive at times. She's also rather stubborn, often holding grudges and being completely set in her ways. The only Pokemon he was really able to fully forgive, out of everyone, was Gengar. She didn't fully forgive the town for sending her and her partner into exile, they knew Gengar was bad news, but they still believed him. Gengar on the other hand, after the events of Murky Cave, she began to see more as a mischievous kid rather than some completely evil monster. She adopted him as an 'honary member of Team Fire Coral.'

- - - - -

Seaslug the Wartortle:

| + | They/She/He | + | Genderfluid Lesbian | + | ❤️ Orchid

Pretty similar to Orchid in personality, just much more introverted than her. They're also a bit of a hot-head, but has a much easier time letting go than their partner, being able to forgive pretty much every, except for Ninetales though, both Seaslug and Orchid have their problems with her. They're incredibly supportive of their girlfriend, no matter what. Believing that her hot headed and stubborn was doesn't make her a bad Pokemon.

Explorers - Team Fragment -

Najia the Delcatty:

| + | She/It/They | + | Polyamorous Lesbian | + | ❤️ Aether, Spinda

Rather mischievous with a fascination for mixology and witchcraft. They're not too crazy about exploring, but they still enjoys it and spending time with the Guild Members. She's Aether's #1 supporter and will do anything to make her happy. Also pretty charismatic, managing to convince Celebi to let Grovyle and Dusknoir visit the past whenever they please. And whenever they do visit, it makes sure to have a prank to play on them at the ready. On hard days, it sneaks out into Spinda's Cafe to down some Pokemon wine. Spinda often lets them vent to them about whatever's troubling them. Also still very bitter about Navy ( Manaphy ) being taken away from her due to past mommy issues. Oops

- - - - -

Aether the Luxray:

| + | She/They | + | Girlflux Biromantic | + | ❤️ Najia, Spinda

She's timid, easily startled, and self-deprecating. Despite this, she's very determined to achieve her dream of becoming an explorer. Najia helped Aether get over her fears, though her anxiety is still a problem for her in her day-to-day life, but she's come to terms with that, and she's fine with that. She knows she has Najia, Spinda, and her friends to help her whenever she needs, and that's all that matters to her. Aether became friends with Team Skull in the year that Najia was gone. Najia was hesitant to trust them at first, but ultimately came around. Aether still vividly remembers the day Najia disappeared, and occasionally has nightmares where she disappears again. But Najia is always there to comfort her after them.

Gates to Infinity - Team Hope -

Raja the Axew/Zorua Hybrid:

| + | She/They | + | Demigirl Lesbian | + | ❤️ Virizion

Mischievous and really damn smart. Tends to act like a know-it-all for the fun of it, in fact she does most things for the fun of it. Often considering saying or doing pretty rude or dumb things soley to see what happens. Though, their sensible, smart side prevents them from doing it. Unlike in Mako's exact wish, she wasn't able to freely travel between the human world and Pokemon world. Instead being stuck in the Pokemon world. Mako apologized, but she insisted that it was fine. Unlike the other heroes, she remembers her human life with near perfect clarity. She seems awfully reluctant to talk about it, though. She also never quite forgave Munna & the others or Kyurem. Especially Kyruem, who attacked her out of the blue, leading to her loosing an eye and permanently breaking a leg.

- - - - -

Mako the Oshawott:

| + | He/They | + | Demiboy Gay

He initially started out as a careless, distrusting guy due to the nature of their world. Due to the rarity of shiny Pokemon, he was often treated as a 'good luck token' instead of an actual Pokemon with thoughts and feelings. He eventually realized his old 'friends' were just manipulating him, and swore to never let himself be used again. He ran away from his old home, running into Raja along the way. He initially bought the land to be his paradise, but he slowly began to warm up to his friends. Though, they didn't formally apologize for treating them poorly until after he was kidnapped by Munna, where he began to doubt Raja would come save him due to how horrible he was to her. But, when she and Hydreigon came through, he realized that Raja and the others really did care about him the whole time. Apologizing for everything when he returned to Paradise. From then on, he dropped his persona and let the others see his more goofy, laid-back, and righteous side. He also never got a scallop like other Oshawotts, instead being given one by Raja the night after she rescued him from Munna.

Super Mystery Dungeon - Team Dreamscape -

Ember the Fennekin:

| + | She/Xe/Any | + | Genderqueer Lesbian | + | ❤️ Fern

Once she first arrived in the Pokemon world, Ember was incredibly rude and distrusting of everyone. Though, she did still have morals and a sense of justice. Often agreeing to help Pokemon due to moral obligations or an obvious wrong needing to be righted. Though as time goes on, Ember would only increasingly warm up to Fern, showing her to be not some ruthless bully, but a sarcastic nerd who was scared to hurt herself by becoming loosing a good friends, so she chose to not make any friends. She revealed her fixations on herbology, medicine, and astrology, often nerding out to Fern about cool plants she found. After the post-game, Ember reveals that exploring isn't really what she wants. After everything, she just wants to go back to Serene Village with Nuzleaf, with the excitement of Lively Town and Expedition Society being a little too overwhelming for her at the time. She wanted to go back to school and learn how to become a doctor. Though to her surprise, Fern completely understood. So, she moved back, but not without making Fern promise to visit often.

- - - - -

Fern the Snivy:

| + | She/Her | + | Trans Lesbian | + | ❤️ Ember

The silliest silly to ever silly. She's profusely optimistic and extroverted. She doesn't really notice or care if others are upset with her, except for Ember, in which case she'll make up for whatever upset her as soon as possible. While Fern helped Ember to open up and learn that its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved, Ember helped Fern learn that being reckless isn't always that good. It's okay to be a little reckless, but if you're too reckless, you could end up getting others hurt in the process. She also helped her to learn to be a bit more considerate of others feelings, some people prefer to have some peace and alone time, and that's okay. They're still friends even if they don't hang out or talk every day. When Ember told her that she wanted to return to Serene Village, Fern was initially hurt, but remembered what Ember helped teach her. It was okay for Ember to have a different dream then her, her moving back to Serene Village didn't mean they'd never see each other again, because they would. They could visit each other at almost any time. Plus, they were good friends with a Talonflame named Flametail, who agreed to help them send each other letters. If anything, Fern was incredibly happy. Ember fully opened up to her, she trusted Fern to not get upset with her when she told her about wanting to move back. The old Ember would've never done that, she would've kept making herself miserable.

Day 6: Final Adventure

I'll be honest. The very first time I finished Blue Rescue Team, the ending didn't really touch me the way the other games in the series did. Even after playing through the remake, the ending still didn't affect me. However, when I replayed through RTDX, I began to appreciate PMD 1 a lot more. After a long struggle against Sky Tower and Rayquaza, I managed to complete the game once again. Without realizing it, I had become attached to my partner, which hadn't happened before (mainly because my previous partner was a pokemon I didn't really care that much about :/). Coupling that with the fact that I BARELY managed to defeat Rayquaza, the ending was much more emotional for me and I actually cried quite a bit. Also, I just wanted to say that upon seeing the prompts for this week, I knew I'd be drawing Sky Tower for this prompt :)

(Sorry for this long speech!! Thanks to those who read this :D Have a great rest of your day or night!)

"Hey Eos, have you ever heard of the Secret Eevee Village? Apparently, its only really spoken of in legends and fairy tales. Well, the truth is... its where I come from. Lets hide here for a little while."
