#quicksilver the salazzle

[professor-amaryllis]

:{ Echo's Pokemon Spotlight: Quicksilver }:

Name: Quicksilver

Species: Salazzle, Heavy Seviper lineage. Her size, color, and distinctive fangs are heavily influenced by her parentage, though in behavior and care requirements she is relatively standard for her species.

Gender: Female

Nature: Bold

Ability: Corrosion

Capture Data: Caught February 13, 2023. Location: Alola; Rt 8. Original Registration ID: [Redacted].

Information: Quicksilver was a wild capture after her bright colors caught the attention of some local trainers, she stood out sorely among the wild population. She's believed to be the result of a trainer's Seviper left to mingle among the wild pokemon of the area. She was captured with another Salazzle (Slowgold) and a similarly unusual Alolan meowth (Arlene). Since capture she's shown a proficiency in battle and an enjoyment of competition, and as such has earned a spot on the professor's usual battle team. However, despite her dual typing, the professor seems to prefer focusing on non-fire moves.

I want to put a credit here for Quicksilver's original design to @updates-from-po-town who made this really neat pair for a friend who passed them onto me, even if I haven't exactly been great at keeping up with these references in a timely manner ahaha. you can see their lovely art here!!

Daily Doodle #8

Got struck by art block all day, so I decided to see if I could draw Quicksilver as a Delta Salazzle. Now that I have, I might tweak it a little bit later on. I’m also not sure if I actually want to evolve Quick. :’D

:{ A Video file is embedded. [Location Redacted], Kanto. 12/18/23 3:37 pm. }:

This video opens mid argument. The afternoon sun shines glaringly off of the snow covered countryside of what can be assumed to be somewhere in Kanto, though without any true landmarks it is a little hard to tell exactly where. We find ourselves in an old, well worn vehicle of some sort, from the looks of it a station wagon, though its hard to make much more out from the inside.

In the back an interesting array of pokemon lounge around the luggage and supplies the professors have brought. A very large Salazzle and a Charmander compete to squish their faces against a single window- despite there being other windows that are completely free- while a Weavile glares up towards Amy in the passenger seat, seemingly unhappy with their existence. In the far back a large faintly spotted Alolan meowth sleeps on a blanket with a happily dozing hisuian sneasel.

Turning back towards the front Echo begins to pick up more of this argument between the two professors. Amy, who seems to be attempting to wrangle a large paper map while also working around a shiny hisuian sneasel on their lap, is insisting that they have things handled and they're sure that they're on the right track. Casi on the other hand seems to be much, much less sure about this and is insisting that they stop for directions.

Casi: I really don't know why we aren't just using Echo to navigate, or just the gps om my phone. This is way more complicated than it needs to be.

Amy: You and I both know why I turned our location off, and the GPS doesn't track us if it doesn't know where we are.

Casi: Yeah, because lost in the Kantonian countryside is much safer. You got me there.

Amy: Look. It's fine. See here we must be on- um. No wait here, it has to be. Hm. Well-

Casi: You have no idea where we are.

Amy: It's been thirteen years give me a break!

Casi: If you aren't going to ask them I am.

Amy: You don't speak Kantonian?-

Casi has already pulled the car over by the side of the road, however, and frustrated exits the vehicle and approaches the first person that he sees, an older man who seems to be simply enjoying the clear winters day sitting on a bench and scattering seed for the local Pidgey and Spearow. Her tone is friendly and cheerful, and she smiles at the man, but as she speaks in a slightly accented Kantonian the man seems to become immediately confused and concerned.

:{ Echo note: I have run the offending phrase through my poryphone translation technology!! Approximate translation follows!! ["What the fuck is your problem?"] :3c }:

Amy, who had been just sort of watching confused through the car window up and until that point, immediately opens the door and in their haste to intervene falls directly into the snow. They scramble back to their feet and over to the pair, and while their speech is muffled through the car door it's clear that they are profusely apologizing in a heavily accented Kantonian. Luckily the poor bystander seems more confused than angry, and after a few minutes of talking the two professors head back to the vehicle. They sit in silence for a moment, Amy trying to brush the snow off themselves, before Casi speaks up.

Casi: ...So I take it I misspoke?

Amy: Is that what you're calling it? Casi where did you learn that??

Casi: Don't worry about it. I was just saying hello!

Amy: That is not what you said at all! And what do you mean don't worry about it? Casi talking like that to people could get you killed-

Casi: Well it's a good thing I asked someone that I knew could speak the language to be here with me, isn't it?

Amy: I... Hm. Alright. Point taken. But don't ever do that again.

Casi: Yeah, ok I won't... So. Were we going the right way?

Amy: ...... We have to turn around...

Casi laughs just as the video ends.

:{ Echo's Pokemon Spotlight: Slowgold }:

Name: Slowgold

Species: Salazzle; Lava tube subspecies. These pokemon live much of their lives in deep volcanic caves, their lighter warmer coloration helping them camouflage and absorb the natural warmth around them and their tough spiked hide protecting them from sharp obsidian protrusions.

Gender: Female

Nature: Relaxed

Ability: Corrosion

Capture Data: Caught February 13, 2023. Location: Alola; Rt 8. Original Registration ID: [Redacted].

Information: Slowgold was a wild capture, caught after she showed hostility upon being separated from another Salazzle that was meant to be removed from the wild. She was captured with another Salazzle(Quicksilver) and a similarly unusual Alolan meowth (Arlene). Since then her naturally laid back attitude has shown through, and she spends most of her days sunning in the GES's rooftop greenhouse.
