"Move onwards."

Those words stuck out to Destino. How were they supposed to move on when their best friend had not been truthful? It was hard. Felix knew how much Destino needed him to be honest with them. Their parents said not to trust anyone, not even your closest friends. Was there a spark of truth in all of that?

"Move onwards."

It was frustrating. Why would he choose to keep it secret? How was Destino supposed to look at their friend in the same way knowing he loved them? For how long had this been true? There were too many questions and not enough answers. What was Destino going to do? They didn't like Felix in the same way...right? No. Of course they didn’t. Felix was just a good friend. Would Destino want more with him? No…maybe? No. How was Destino supposed to trust anyone else if they couldn't even trust how they were feeling?

Destino snapped out of their trance to the sound of hearing their makeover had been completed. Time to see how much Reshino had butchered their beautiful-

They stopped their train of thought, shocked by what they were seeing. The pink glitter. The pink eyeshadow. The curled hair. Removing a single fluffy slipper, Destino took the mirror and examined every detail. They looked similar to how they did when they presented themselves as female. Destino used to love wearing makeup like this. It used to be one of their favourites things to do in their free time, dolling themselves up. Perhaps sometimes excessively but it helped them to feel pretty. Destino didn't do it as much now because they didn't want to spend time and effort doing all of that work in amidst their busy care routine, so this was nice. It was an incredibly strange feeling.

Their smile changed from a smug one that believed Reshino was going to mess this up to that of a more genuine one as Destino analysed what had been done to them. It made them feel a sense of nostalgia for who they once were.

They admired themselves for a while, feeling genuinely happy with how this experience had turned out. Perhaps they should do this more often. It made them happy. Destino remembered that Reshino was still there and quickly shifted back to their regular persona. That was enough feeling for one day. Couldn't let that out more than once.

"You've done a pretty decent job, as much as I hate to admit it. I suppose if I ever need this done again, I will have to approach you." Destino felt the urge to address what Reshino had been talking about. They were going to use the information as some sort of blackmail or something. They didn't expect to kinda relate to what she had said on their own way. "And...well..." Urgh, what was they to say? They hated this emotional stuff. That's why they never participated in it. They found it difficult to know what was the right thing to say. In this moment, they considered what Felix would do, as much as Destino hated what he had done to them. He was always trying to look out for others. He would know what to say.

…

Destino was going to regret this.

“I find what you’ve said to be…urgh…relatable. I guess other Pokémon can experience things that are similar to your own experiences. Especially in regard to hurting one you deemed close. Gross. Look at what you’ve done to me, Reshino. These awful feelings. It makes me sick feeling them.” That was the best they were going to do. Perhaps one day they could be better. But for now, this was the only time Destino had unveiled what their true self was like.

Gloria wanders around the towers and noticed Destino, what caught her attention is the huge body pillow, as she starts to approach.

Hi hi hello! My name is Gloria, from my powers I can sense that you're royalty! That long pillow of yours, you must be loved by your kingdom! to have yourself printed in that...

The Lucario giggled, as she would reaches out her hand and attempts to touch the pillow.

Destino: Wow. And I thought I was the only one who judged everyone at this event.

???: We find her vibes to be not good.

Destino: Damn, seems like this shadowy nightmare creature finds your vibes off. That's hilarious. It claims to be some sort of god or something. I dunno if I believe it. Also, what powers are we talking about here? I just figured my natural beauty would tell anyone that I'm of a royal nature.

(Response to this: https://www.tumblr.com/ask-team-misfit/748728980965900288/destino-approached-lief-fully-dressed-in-their?source=share )

*Oh great. Lief was sad. And that meant that Destino didn't get the reaction they were hoping from Lief. Again. It was frustrating to say the least. What was up with this Pokémon? Destino hated it when others decided to mope around talking about their feelings. This just wouldn't do.

Destino sat themselves down next to Lief, arms crossed. Their eyebrows furrowed, making the grumpiest face imaginable. The makeup and curly hair definitely lessened the effect of this but it seemed convincing enough.*

Destino: What's the point in me trying to playfully insult you if you're not going to play your part? You're supposed to insult me back. That's how it works. You're not supposed to just take it. Honestly, it's like you've never done this whole insulting back and forth thing before. I thought you were going to be more fun this evening. Instead I end up being blamed for who knows what, pushed around and had my insultee decide not to play along and degrade himself. As the insulter, it's an insult to me that you're refusing.

*Destino shuffled on their spot, to get themselves a bit more comfortable. They finally decided to use their pillow for it's actual purpose and sit on it. Destino was certain that shadowy creature didn't mind. It barely had a physical form anyway.*

Destino: So what if you're a mess? Everyone here is a mess. Everybody has their own shit to deal with. I hate admitting this but even I do. Me of all Pokémon. Can you believe it? You're not special. Acting like the sad, pathetic lump you are isn't going to make everyone flock to your attention. I'm the attention-seeker here. Not you. It's my job to be dramatic. And look at you sitting here all slumped over. Oh yes, look at me. The world's biggest saddo.

*The worst part about this was the lasting stench of alcohol that left Lief's mouth. How much had this Pokémon had? It was taking all of Destino's effort not to gag.*

Destino: You've got to act like everything is ok. The world's a stage and you've got a part in it. Even if that part isn't as important as mine. Acting is all about convincing everyone you're fine. Taking control of the audience you have. Suck it up. Take deep breaths or something. I don't know. Get water or whatever. I'm not leaving until I get some sort of insult back that's worth my time being here. And don't think about trying to move away from me because I can be very persistent when I need to be.

Destino: Oh no, I totally understand why they all scream in your face. It's all for attention. I could not have someone demanding all my time from me. My time is incredibly valuable. I'm not wasting it on someone else who can barely count to 10.

Destino: I don't think I'll ever not hate the detestable creatures. Do I want to change? Of course I don't. I'm already my best self. I couldn't be better but good try buddy.

*An audible groan can be heard escaping their mouth.*

Destino: Having a conversation. That's the same advice he'd give. Urgh, why does it always have to lead into a conversation? Why can't it just be forgotten? Perhaps I should find someone around here who can wipe memories or something. Listen, I don't think you'd want to have a conversation if you found out your best friend loved you and hadn't told you.

@ask-the-fogbound-serpent

Continued from here

“While I did say that I don’t believe myself fit to raise them on my own, I do feel comfortable doing it with the help I have." He explained. "I am one of their many guardians, not their parents. While I am an adult figure in their lives, I am also a friend and confidant. I would not ever dream of giving them away. Apologies if my wording wasn’t clear on that one.”

No matter how he loathed to admit it, Vourison saw a bit of his younger self in this Absol. A version brasher, even crueller. He didn't want Destino to repeat his own foolish mistakes, so he chose to continue speaking, despite a part of him yelling not to, to end the conversation now and leave the other pokemon be.

He only prayed his advice did not fall on deaf ears.

“However, I think the problem that, not just you, but many others have is that they struggle to see children as people. Sure, they are small and ignorant, but they are people. Reflecting upon yourself and deciding you wouldn’t be fit to raise a child is fine and healthy, in fact I commend you for it! However, if all you see is a disaster and tantrum waiting to happen, and refuse to engage with any critical thinking on why they act the way they do, then it’s going to negatively effect how you perceive them, and your people, overall.”

“Now, this isn’t meant to be an attack on yourself or anything. I applaud your maturity when it comes to knowing yourself, but a bit of reflection would probably do you some good. I've had this same problem in the past. I used to detest children. It's taken me quite a bit of time to break myself out of that mindset, but I am all the better for it."

Vourison paused at that last comment, noting the slight bitterness. “Well, since I don’t know the situation in depth, I can’t give any specific advice. But, if you cherish this friend, if you cared for them? I suggest you ask them why they kept that secret, have a real and meaningful conversation. Once all the details are laid out, then judge for yourself if that reason was good or not. It can be hard to lose someone you’re close with to conflicts like these, so if it can be prevented, you should at least try."

"This is all just my advice though. You can take it or leave it." Please don't leave it. "In any case, I do hope you repair your relationship if possible.”

Naomi @ Destino: Naomi approaches the Absol and notices the long pillow they are holding. "Hey, that looks just like you!" she beamed. She shows them her stuffed Wooloo Miss Marshmellow. "I got a sleeping buddy, too! Her name's Miss Marshmellow! Do you want to pet her? She's super friendly!"

Destino: No, what am I, 5? Go bother someone else. Can't you see that I don't deal with the affairs of toddlers?

Vinny: *The young boy skittishly moves towards the absol with a rotomphone on his hand helping him to translate* Hi there, so your the Prime that my uncle Romeo was telling me about? He said you were quite the character, but I believe you can be a good sport. I was gonna work on a pillow fort with the extra blankets and pillows lying around. And with that pillow of yourself we can pretend it's the ruler of the pillow fort. It'll be fun.

Destino: You want to take my pillow to put it on top of your pathetic fort? Come on. It deserves more respect than that. I mean, if you want someone on top of the fort, I'd recommend putting Snowball on there. White Vulpix. Blue bows. She loves being grabbed and placed on things. Try it. I'm sure she'd love you for it.

Awwww, Destino brought a pillow of themself because they don't have anyone that actually wanted to come here with them. How precious.

Destino: Buddy, I didn't want anyone to come here with me. Why would I? I'm doing just fine on my own.

(@masked-vee) "A body pillow of yourself?! Really?! Are you that self-centered and shallow that you can't be bothered to bring another living with you?" Snorted a talking hilt being held by a tiny mask wearing Eevee, accompanied by a Zorua. "I myself am a little vain, but if I had a body, I would at least take the kid with me, because, unlike you, I value others before myself!"

Destino: Why would I want to value others before myself? Have you not heard about self love? Do you not love yourself? It's ok. I'm sure someday you'll be able to appreciate a little bit of self-love because I doubt anyone would want to love someone like you.

Nike @ Destino: "Oh hey, you're that stuck-up royal one of my buddies mentioned meeting. You probably don't remember him since he stated you value your looks over anything else." The human-form victini chattered, sitting criss-cross in the air. "I'm willing to bet that you're TERRIBLE at Truth or Dare~"

Me? Terrible at truth or dare? Ha. You could give me any truth question and I'd give you an honest answer. Like how I honestly think that outfit could use a compete redo. Who are you trying to impress with it because I don't see anyone here wanting to look at you

*Destino couldn't help but laugh at the pathetic lump that Lief had become. They did want a conversation of a more serious nature to figure out why Lief reacted the way he did but it appeared now was not a good time for that.*

Destino: Wow, and I thought I was bad when I was inebriated. You really are the whole circus. What a disgusting creature you are. This is rather embarrassing for you, isn't is? Ending up in a state like this in front of all of these Pokémon. I wouldn't be surprised if you were to get kicked out for this behaviour. I mean, considering how foolish you're acting, I'm shocked it's not already happened.

Destino: You're also convinced I couldn't make you talk? I think you'll find you're mistaken there, buddy. I can be very convincing when I need to be. Probably the most convincing Pokémon in the entire world. I'm choosing not to at the moment as I don't want to make a bigger idiot out of you than you already are.

*Destino approached Lief, fully dressed in their sleeping gear. What had happened had been on their mind for a bit and they needed to get to the bottom of it. Pointing a finger into his chest, Destino began to speak in a curt tone.*

Destino: You. Explain what had happened earlier. I don't want a tauros-shit explanation. I know I can be terrifying when I need to be. That's just how amazing I am. But your reaction was something else. Talk.

Lief blinked slowly. He looked down at the finger poking his chest, then back at Destino's face. He raised both paws to slowly push down their claws.

Lief: "B... before you ask, because I kn-kn... know you will. Don't. It'ss nothin'. You hear me? Nothin'... nothin'."

His voice sounded considerably more slurred than just earlier, especially with the way he enunciated "nothing". His stance was so wobbly that it might take the lightest of breezes to completely knock him over.

Lief: "And, a-and... that stuff earlier? That... that other stuff? Also nothin'. I don' gotta tell you nothin'. Yeah? Nothin'... an' there's no way you will ever- ugh, hold on..."

He paused to hiccup. He shuddered, looking genuinely sick.

Lief: "Geez... a-anyways, there'ss... nno way you will, ever, make me. Honestly, even if I d-did-"

His knees buckled mid-sentence, and he again fell right on his face. He near completely went limp.

A louder, muffled hiccup came from him some moments later.

Lief: "Ow..."

sphaeramjourney asked: Gloria stumbled into Lief with a bizarre outfit. It does not bother the Lucario, but the drunkenness what concerns her. She magically summons out a cup of water and attempts to offer it to him. By the Lords, are you okay?! Who gave you that uniform? and you can't be going around looking like that, what if you get yourself hurt?! Here, have some water!

[ @sphaeramjourney ]

Another groan came from the Simbobeon. He now sounded a lot more depressed. With the amount of alcohol he just drank, it was inevitable that it'd hit him full force like this.

For yet more moments of awkward silence, he just lied there. He didn't bother trying to get back up, or even lift his head.

His state of mind and his usual inhibitions all but eroded, he proceeded to speak his mind for the first time since arriving here.

And without yelling at others or belittling them, to boot.

Lief: "I'm not ok... I'm a loser. A wimp. A fraud, a liar."

🌍 Petunia the Pi(n)kachu :3

Name: Petunia

Species: Pikachu

Kingdom: Mechania

Petunia is certainly a confident one. Her friends all know her as someone who speaks her mind without second thoughts. Mike the electabuzz certainly finds her funny. She loves trying to get her friends out and about, wanting them to relax and enjoy themselves. The night life is something she enjoys and loves seeing if the Storm is out performing. If they are, she'll stop at nothing to get her friends to join her. Not that she particularly enjoys his music but more for the fact that she wants to get her friends to lighten up and enjoy their free time, rather than worrying about work. She had no idea where she got her pink colouring from.

(Not much to say on this one. I'd imagine one of her relatives is a clefairy or clefable which is why her colouring has pink in it.)

🌍 for Lenox or Freddy your choice

Name: Lenox

Species: Hawlucha (raboot mix)

Kingdom: Terrestria

Not many Pokémon are aware of their efforts but someone has to do it. After finding out about the secret trading between Terrestria and the kingdom underground, Lenox and a group of other Pokémon have been stealing goods from King Flint to distribute to others in a less than fortunate position. As much as he's a good king, his monopoly on ores and stones is far too great for someone to have. It's also strange because everyone knows that the royal family have been awful for some time. King Flint takes the throne and suddenly everyone is on board with him. Perhaps he's trying to make up for what his family has done with the kingdom. Who knows. All this group knows is that they can't trust him.

Their group does their dealings during the night, when there are less Pokémon to see them. They've tried their best not to get caught, but it appears that there's some rival group coming to take them out. It doesn't help that half of the member of this group use less-than-favourable methods to carry out their tasks and Lenox isn't the biggest fan of that. What's worse is that her sister was murdered by this opposing group. She still tries to keep a positive attitude but it can be difficult sometimes.

(I'm certainly trying my best by reading through blogs a bit in order to figure out how the characters could be in my universe. I also had to change the parent Pokémon, because pangoro just straight up doesn't exist in this part of my world. I felt raboot could carry those design elements across. I may also not do every character everyone has sent through as I received so many of these and some of them are legendaries so I'm gonna have to change them into regular Pokémon.)

👀 Oooh, this sounds fun! 🌍 For Kappa (ask-impatient-samurott)

Name: Kappa

Species: Samurott

Kingdom: Naaturo

Kappa was born and raised in Naaturo. When she was a Dewott, she was convinced by a friend to come with them to the kingdom of Terrestria to train. Terrestria is known for its abundance of evolutionary stone ores and battle contests. Every year, a battle tournament is held and Kappa’s friend thought they’d have a chance of winning. When the both of them arrived in Terrestria, they headed straight for Master Farris’ training grounds. After a while, Kappa evolved and the two of them were ready to join the tournament.

They made it through a great deal of the battles and ended up in a battle with a lapras. The two saw this lapras had yellow eyes but chalked it up to genetics. Seemed this lapras was also incredibly powerful too, with ice type attacks which could cover the battle grounds with a layer of thick ice. Kappa’s friend tried to attack but ended up dead to a single attack before anyone could process what had happened. Before the officiators could call off the match, the lapras ended up dealing an incredible blow to Kappa’s head, leading to her being knocked out. She was rushed to an emergency room.

After some time, she woke up to find that she was finding it incredibly difficult to remember what had happened during the tournament. All she could remember was those yellow eyes that seemed to pierce through her. She also discovered that she’d received some nasty scarring from the event. When she was eventually allowed to leave, she went back to the battle grounds, asking for her friend. With the staff members wanting to cover up the incident, they told Kappa they were unsure where her friend could have gotten to. She ended up travelling back home by herself, no answers in sight.

Kappa is currently in the process of finding out what had happened on the fateful day and where her friend had disappeared to. That Lapras has never been seen again. Some speculate that it was never really there. Some speculate that it was a god that had been sent down to test the worth of the mortals. Nobody really knows what it could have been.

(I have a soft spot for Kappa, to be honest. I actually need to read your blog from the beginning to get the full picture. Definitely had to consider how her story could be translated to something that would work in my world.)

🌍 Catherine from @team-pokefriends ?

Name: Catherine

Species: Dragonite

Kingdom: Cirrolus

After having to survive in the outlands as a dratini with her mother, she eventually evolved into a dragonair and was able to fly up to the floating kingdom of Cirrolus. Of course, growing up in the outlands is incredibly dangerous, leading to her becoming quite shy and timid. This didn't stop her from wanting to explore the kingdoms down below. Cirrolus has been hovering above this land for a long, long time and Catherine wants to see some of the Pokémon down there as she's heard a lot of them are unable to fly.

Catherine eventually evolved into a Dragonite which gave her the authority to run jobs for the kingdom which involve flying down to the lands below. During the speech given by Prince Stratus in which the Pokémon selected are told of their duties, he made it incredibly clear that no ground Pokémon must know of their presence as they descend from the sky. He told them all that if they are caught, they are to be banished from the kingdom and forced to live the rest of their lives in the outlands. This made Catherine rather nervous and she hasn't made the jump to head down to the ground yet. She hopes to one day gain the courage to. She's not the biggest fan of the royal family, especially Prince Stratus. He can be rather conceited and picks on everyone he comes across for not being as spectacular as him.

(Well, this has definitely given me the opportunity to talk about where some other Pokémon types are in the story. I've mentioned Destino two. Prince Stratus is Destino 2.)

🌍 If Inari won't work for being a legendary, maybe Matcha?

Name: Matcha

Species: Tandemaus

Kingdom: Whimsain

Matcha was found as an egg by a sylveon, who came to care for it. When it hatched, the sylveon noticed it also had the characteristics of an eevee too. The sylveon decided to raise the tandemaus and call them Matcha. Matcha goes to one of the local play groups whilst their Meema works. Matcha has been developing their speech well and one of the play group's workers, a chansey called Claire, has commented on the incredible progress they have made. They love their Meema a lot and love hearing the stories their Meema has told them about legendary Pokémon. The one tale they've enjoyed the most is the story of the Ancestral Guardian, a goddess who helped create all Pokémon and freed the False Guardian from the bad Pokémon. They've heard their Meema mentioning they would like to meet this Ancestral Guardian one day.

(Another case where I couldn't pick the main Pokémon as they're a legend. Inaris would probably be a sylveon in this world. Matcha is a toddler so would have to go to a play group. Inaris also joins in with the play group fun too, helping their little one encounter all of the fun things there. Sensory group fun.)

🌍, GIVE ME THE LOOOOORE!!!

Name: Serafina

Species: Salandit (seviper mix)

Kingdom: The Underdark

Serafina is a female Salandit who harbours a group of male salandits. The king and queen have both said that she's allowed to have a group to lead over. However if she steps any boundaries, they will take away her rights as a leader away and disband the group. Considering how Mirage the Zoroark has banded all of the zorua together, it makes them worry about another group rising up. This group appears to be fine for now. Serafina lives in the main section of the Underdark and is happy to take any salandits in for her group. She's only seen the Prime once and doesn't have a positive opinion of them or their family. Perhaps someone else should step in and take over. It's not like she stole a crown from the Prime and wears it around or anything. No. She wouldn't do that, right?

(So, no milotic exist in the Underdark. They're water types. The Underdark consists of Pokémon with the dark, poison and ghost typing. Seviper seemed like a good fit to match with the scales on the tail. I also couldn't have her be a salazzle as they evolve at a level which is above the level cap for the Underdark (level 30). As I said, some Pokémon are gonna devolve in my universe.)
