{ ♦️ } -- Natalia glowered at him a moment longer. She'd come across her fair share of danger since joining interpol, but this was somewhat new. Most times, she was able to keep herself hidden until it was necessary. This time, it didn't seem luck was on her side.

His tone was almost enough to make her sneer. If course, one of the executive officers in Rocket would think they were above the law.

"Private property is only honored when there isn't plausible cause for investigation. A detective's job is to investigate, is it not?"

She had no other words for him. There would be no mention of the warrant she'd secured, the ongoing deep dive into Rocket that was happening, nothing.

"If you aren't looking for a charge for impeding an officer, I would recommend letting me go."

So I’m about to make a completely insane post. Excuse me.

So I got this comment on Peaks and Valleys the other day, on the chapter where Blue is in the airport and has to put all his Pokemon in holding.

Grabs this anon’s shoulders. I thought about this. I thought about this a lot. I went back and forth on it during this chapter so much.

And I actually concluded that the airline security does not necessarily imply this. While a lot of our real-world flight security was considerably tightened and comes as a direct result of 9/11, I don’t think that’s the case here.

I think this is actually much more mundane safety concerns. Even an incredibly well-trained and well-behaved Pikachu, if surprised by a bout of turbulence, might let off some static. That’s going to interfere with the equipment and make things unsafe.

What about the incredibly variable size and shape of pokemon - what happens if some kid releases Mom’s Nidoqueen or Wailord in the middle of a flight? That’s a big and heavy pokemon to suddenly have in an enclosed space where weight of cargo has to be well accounted for.

Even if you bring a small Pokémon, evolution could happen really suddenly - especially due to environmental effects. Imagine someone’s got their cute little Tyrunt next to them on the flight, it sneaks a rare candy or something, and next thing you know there’s a massive 600lbs Tyrantrum to deal with.

What about the effects on the pokemon themselves - moving quickly at high altitudes between different places and weather patterns is probably going to make a Castform kind of sick and out of sorts.

Pokeball locking, enforcing Everstone use, or having specific regulations about what Pokémon can go on flights and what can’t. Those could be feasible solutions but would also require a lot of overhead. There’s hundreds of different Pokemon, the average flight holds about 200 people, every single person could carry up to 6 pokemon with them. That’s a LOT of SOPs and guidelines to write, a lot of things to check, potentially a lot of things for passengers to get done (I didn’t consider this at the time because it was pre-Scarvio, but Everstones can only be bought in ScarVio at 3000 yen a pop - otherwise they have to be found in the wild. That’s an expensive and annoying thing to source for either passengers or the airline).

The most effective solution - short of forcing everyone to put their pokemon in boxes to get on the other end (and box software varies by region potentially causing complication, a lot of people would really resist this, etc), is just to securely hold all Pokémon in the same way apart from the human passengera until the end of the flight.

In conclusion: never think I didn’t excessively think about the implications of Pokemon air travel in my gay fanfic. I am insane and I did.

When you are shuffling through books and find a wild Pokémon card. More specifically a Pikachu. Does this make me Ash Ketchum cause now I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was…

{ ♪ } -- Beaming wide, she nodded her head.

"I've been to a couple! Castelia City usually has a pretty decent pride event, considering all the businesses that are around, so I've been to a few! It's a lot of fun, actually."

She hummed softly, rocking back and forth on her heels. No matter if she was eager for the festivities, the chance at making a new friend always seemed to sway her. So, even though her shiny Purrloin was climbing his way up onto her shoulders and peeking over the top of her head at the stranger, she giggled brightly. A puffy Growlithe settled by her side, prompting her to reach down to pet his head.

"My name's Bella, by the way! I hope you're having a good time!"

With Legends Z-A, I gave him the unavoidable design. I had written so much background and trying to get it on Insta was a hassle, but luckily I’ll be able to fully put it here with no issues,,:

It was hard to steer from the typical older Emmet look but I tried my hardest to make it seem like it would’ve been. I tried looking up France fashion from 1600-1900 but it was either some ridiculous outfits or suits, and since it mentioned the redevelopment of Lumiose City, it was either working up from something like Jubilife village or was upgrading from what it already is. I’ve heard a lot of theories that Legends Z-A will be taking place in the future or bounce back from future to past, but since it’s hard to incorporate futuristic outfits without knowing “how futuristic” it’ll be, I stuck to something from a layer time period in France. I drew him more of a square shape in his eyes instead of triangular, both to signify age and his lost connection with Ingo. Maybe not a permanent design but I think it adds a lot to his demeanor. He kept Basic stuff like he still has his coat, hat, etc. because Ingo got to keep all his old stuff too, but since the trailer looked more modern and Pokémon were with people, I don’t think it would be all destroyed like Ingos just cause it seems like a more civilized nation alongside pokemon and if it really did get destroyed in some way, I have a feeling he would be able to get it repaired without it getting ruined again. Also in terms of the suit I think the darker color is a good parallel to Ingos pearl clan outfits lighter colors. A lot of the design choices were meant to parallel him anyways. Since Ingo had lost his gloves in his Hisui design, giving Emmet new ones felt appropriate for some reason. In terms of the cane I gave him, not only is he an old man, I think it’s kinda needed. Ingo had that little wristband to signify he was a warden, while I think the cane could be useful for a mega stone wink wink nudge nudge. Cute little accessories for them I’m so nice 💀 he could definitely have a slower lifestyle in comparison to Ingo, and I definitely could see him working at Lumiose Station (if it exists in this game) and even though he would most likely have his memory wiped too, Ingo still said the same train themed quotes even with his memory gone, and even then he still had SOME memory, it was just very faint. Emmet definitely could feel some “connection” to the station and say stuff like “Some late nights I think I see a man who looks like me, but upon second glance it’s just my imagination. Even if I can’t seem to shake it from my mind, it seems I still wish to see him again…” anywho for the drawing, I made a few references. The main one just being a reference of design, but the one in the top right corner was a small reference to Alabaster Icelands. I’ve seen a lot of people use the snow to give Ingo flashbacks to Emmet, and while I think my station one is more closely related to Ingos darker color scheme, I think having him in the snow was a good nod to that. The bottom right corner was a reference to a drawing (that probably most people already know what I’m referencing) that had Pokémon that I thought resembled them, and one of the ones I had included for Ingo was Klefki. So just a little salt to the wound (it wasn’t even that bad.) Anywho, I know the design isn’t very refreshing, but I tried to keep it as canonical as possible.

Yandere Houndoom(Pet-Like)

As someone who has a Houndoom as my fire and dark type in Brilliant Diamond right now (Her name is Hellena), I'll happily write for the hellhound :)

Overprotective! Houndoom Concept

Pairing: Platonic/Pet/Animal-like

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Clingy behavior, Violence, Overprotective behavior, Attempted murder, Possessive behavior, Arson, Jealousy implied, Despite the source material this is dark, like really dark.

Houndooms would be quite terrifying of they were overprotective of a trainer.

Sure, you may think they'd be just loyal dogs.

Yes, but recall their Pokedex entries?

Most entries say essentially the same thing.

Houndoom has a fire that when someone is burned by it, the burn lasts forever.

This Pokemon is also often considered the "Grim Reaper" due to the howls it produces according to other dex entries.

So, no, Houndoom is not just some dog Pokemon.

I imagine you took one in as a Houndour, which makes the Pokemon extra attached to you.

That or maybe you managed to tackle the feat of catching one in the wild.

I'd imagine a wild Houndoom would take more time to get used to their trainer.

At first they reluctantly follow beside you when you let them out of their ball.

They listen in battle but there's no connection quite yet.

It's not until you stroke their fur, walk alongside them, and train them that they get attached.

Your Houndoom all of a sudden starts getting used to all this praise and warms up to you.

You often take them on a walk through routes and battle with trainers.

You try to train them well as you don't want an accident happening.

You are aware of the danger a Houndoom can cause outside of their ball,

One wrong move and the second a fire breath ignites from their mouth?

Chaos.

For the most part your Pokemon seems well behaved.

They adore you petting them and often wrap around you when resting.

I imagine if a Houndoom became overprotective of a trainer or human they adore they'd get violent.

First it's things like growling, barking, and roaring.

During walks you end up having your Houndoom jump in front of you and show aggressive behaviors.

Wild Pokemon quickly skitter away, which is useful at times but annoying at others.

Then you grow concerned when your Houndoom decides humans are also a threat to their precious trainer.

As a result you keep them in the ball more often.

The most dangerous part of a Houndoom is indeed their fire.

Their claws and teeth are quite bad, yes, but at least the pain subsides then.

Their fire? The pain is forever.

Think about this.

Maybe while you go to sleep at night your Houndoom breaks out of their ball.

Sometimes it's innocent and they curl up around you, wanting the warmth of their trainer.

Other times they leave your home... looking for what, exactly?

They're looking for Pokemon and humans that could have hurt you.

Houndoom is obviously a Fire type, yet they are also a Dark type.

Your Houndoom may not care about the chaos it causes.

As long as they keep their trainer safe they could care less how they do it.

During the night your Houndoom targets random wild Pokemon to get stronger and vent frustration before returning to you.

However, if they're feeling extra ambitious, maybe they target people.

Maybe your Houndoom decides to target your rival... or someone else close to you.

Maybe your Pokemon doesn't like the humans around you.

By the time you wake up in the morning you see it on the news.

A house caught on fire, the survivors having burns that never seem to go away.

They're disfigured and in so much pain.

The report strikes fear in you.

Sure, wild Pokemon sometimes end up attacking humans, it happens.

Yet it seems oddly targeted....

You knew these people.

You try to tell yourself things will be fine.

It's nothing, it's just a wild Pokemon attack.

But as you pack your things to leave your home, your eyes drift towards the ball containing your Houndoom.

You don't want to believe it, in fact you shut the thought out...

Part of you still manages to think your own Pokemon was behind the fire...

But that couldn't be true... could it?

AAAAAAUGH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OUTPOOR OF LOVE-

This hyperfixation probably would have burned out if it wasn’t for your kind comments! I really appreciate yall :,)

Individual response and bonus art under cut

Sleepy guys as a treat!

(Now, for the individual asks:

@raisansgrapeon hope the art is watering they crops! Hehe.

@getshorked Oh man thank you so much! I love reading what people leave behind and yeah, the boys and their pokemon make me go :)))))

@madredhattie I WILL MAKE THE TRAINROT EVERYBODY’S PROBLEM (pats the guys) THEY CAN FIT SO MUCH SIBLING SHENANIGANS

@lum1n0s1ty223 TY TY I rrreaaaally wanted to channel the goofy on these guys. Gotta draw them as adults more, cause i feel like the goofy factor magnifies with time. Anyways! UH YES ingo and emmet definitely would love to build gingerbread houses. It’s like legos, but in the end you can eat your creations and pretend to be godzilla (dragonit’illa? Hmm. More pending on that train of thought for later.)

@sapphirecereal My art on Your Dash? More likely then you think! (Its cause people are kind enough to reblog, and I am so so so thankful people are cool to do that. Ah, tumblr.)

@mynamesaplant AYY the banner’s a sketch of the trio I ended up coloring! I wanted to post that artwork immediately after I made it but held off cause I had to finish the “emmet has an imposters syndrome moment” comic. You’ll see it when the time comes tho >:) (AND TY)

@theladydracula pokemon found family, my beloved. Glad you’re having a good time on the ride!

@roxasthatisastick YES JOIN ME IN THE WELL WE CAN FIGHT SUBMAS BRAINWORMS TOGETHER. BUT ALSO YoOOO if you could @ me when the ingo fic drops i’d appreciate it a lot! Submas fandom feed me im begging you-

Waking up streamer Bakugou in the middle of the night because you love Pokemon but you've never been the best at identifying them past their cuteness and need help filling out a squad because of some little Pokemon quiz you took at four am.

"Why are you up?" His voice is groggy as you crawl into his bed with your phone, he wraps his arms around you. It makes your heart race but he's only this nice when he's half asleep.

"I need help."

"Mentally? Yea Princess I know." He yawns, okay so see he could still be a prick half asleep. You nudge him with your elbow, adjusting your phone so he could see.

"No I need help picking ghost Pokemon." He squints at your phone pulling you closer causing his body to press into yours. You swallow thickly as you tell yourself he's just trying to see.

"Surprised you don't just have six gengars." He sees you have two, one being in it's mega evolution. He tries not to take the phone from you, watches you scroll as he points out a few, "Whats this for?"

"I took a quiz and I got ghost type for my gym." You add banette and mismagus, "I wish I could have Blaziken..."

"Oh yea? Yer a gym leader?" He tuts thinks of your chaotic strategy the few times he's battled you or watches your play through on stream, "Balziken is a fire fighting so yea can't have em in yer gym, sides he's ass, his mega is only half decent."

"Excuse you, Blaziken has powerhoused through gyms I probably should have used a different type for but he's never let me down!" You tut adding spirithomb and giratina, feeling happy with your choices, "And yea a gym leader. I'm a good one too. This is what I look like."

You show him a little picture of you that you created and he rolls his eyes.

"Let me take this damn quiz." He reaches over and grabs at your phone, squishing you even more but it's pleasent, how his bare chest feels against your back. Warm even through your t-shirt and if you closed your eyes you were sure you'd fall right asleep.

You had any other time you crawled into his bed at some god awful hour.

Suddenly his warm palm is squeezing against your side, his deep voice soft when he speaks "Ya awake?"

"Y-yea." You rub your eyes not sure how long you were out but it was long enough he took the quiz, made his little character AND picked his Pokemon squad. Which for Bakugou it normally took ages.

"Got fightin." He shows you his squad, he's got Machamp, Mankey, Gallade, Marshadow, Lucario, and a Balziken.

Seeing your favorite on there makes your heart race.

"I thought Blaziken was ass." You quip and he rolls his eyes.

"He is." He crushes you to him, almost painfully before he adds, "But someone has to train your favorite Pokemon to be a champion."

I’m only asking because he eventually fixed the problem, but I’m still curious: my brother has a kirlia who used to absolutely HATE when he and his girlfriend kissed. Like, she would yell at them pretty much lol. She’s fine now after some training and getting her used to it, but I was wondering why you think that was? For reference, this was when they first got together, and she was fine enough with them hugging and with my brother kissing me on the head (the behavorialist wanted us to check)

it's not an uncommon problem for trainers of the ralts line, especially if the ralts is captive-bred. the ralts line form monogamous, often lifelong bonds with their mates in the wild; in place of a proper mate, they can sometimes project that onto their trainer instead. while they're not the only pokemon that can struggle with this, it's exacerbated by the fact that the ralts line turn the positive emotions of their mate and friends into energy; if that energy is directed at someone else, they can become territorial about it. it's not uncommon to see captive-bred ralts line pokemon surrendered to a shelter or rescue because they became aggressive towards anyone who took their trainers' attention. the reason why she was specifically upset about them kissing is likely because it was causing a stronger emotional reaction in him, and she could feel those emotions.

i'm glad things are doing better! your brother did the right thing by consulting a behaviorist and working through this with training.

thoughts on giving pokemon to kids and allowing them to compete? i heard that they're starting to put more strict regulations on that stuff (at least in my region idk if it's global)

i think it's a dumb lost cause. 10 year olds have been pokémon trainers for centuries and there's preschools and schools set up for adolescent training literally everywhere. no law can keep a 6 year old girl away from her scolipede best friend

Ever deal with Elgyem and Beheyem?

I have an Elgyem, Iggy, he's a sweet one, but I dont discuss him much due to his particular shyness, and the nature of his skills. My mother had a Beheyem, it was an unnerving pokemon to live around as a child, it was not kind nor fair in its treatment of others, and I think it's purpose in the house made me cautious around the species as a whole, but that waryness is not without reason.

Because of their abilities, Val has been trained to block their mind altering powers out. That feeling of something in your head gives you an instant pressure headache, can change memories and is sometimes enough to cause panic attacks, you can assume the worse if one hits you with its skills and you dont realise it. You do however, forget the second they stop using their powers on you normally, they wipe their presence from your memory most of the time so they dont get caught, sneaky pokemon. The few we've had handed in to us have been particulalry harsh, very difficult to handle, the more well adjusted pokemon don't often make it to us unless theyre grass types or native species who're handed in during times when the mainland centres can't handle the volume of patients.

Thanks to Val we can work with even violent individuals without our staff being thretened or erased in any way. Though they don't show up in this neck of the woods very often, not a pokemon you see in Johto much unless its migrated or been released. They tend to be loners, but can hang around in pairs, so keep your wits about you if see one, another may be hiding.

As a species goes, they’re in line with golette and bronzor ect, their power source is quite mysterious, they have organs that aren’t anything like other species, and as a whole tend to be shrouded in a great deal of mystery in the community, some scientists have tried to harness this bracket of pokemon as long term energy sources, but it was a practice deemed unethical very quickly. It however doesnt stop it happening sometimes in underground schemes and dens, much to our disgust within the pokemon care giving community.

They also seem to work similarly to claydol, in that they have a frequency network of psychic energy that they communicate on, along with their flashing lights used to stun and confuse targets, and their series of chirpy beeps. They aren’t nourished by solid foods, and from what researchers have gathered they draw power from the moon’s light, sitting out in it when possible. Theyre very efficient pokemon, metabolisms seem to run very slowly, and dont tend to rest much for days on end, which can be difficult in a more ordinary setting for trainers.

They have a curious nature, and can get into trouble a lot, but theyre very smart, and very quick to want to know what things are, so anynoe raising one should give them a whole heap of enrichment, puzzles, strategy games, show them new items, explain things to them. Theyre a great pokemon for people who have allergies as they dont trigger any, an innate being. They can be hard to socialise with other pokemon but not always.

This is certainly not a pokemon for the feint of heart, nor beginners. Theyre known to start altering their trainers memories when they want to get their own way, so play it safe, and be alert. Like any other pokemon however, they have a lot of charm and love to give if theyre a good match for you, I suppose keep an open mind on the species as a whole. Raised well and with love theyre excellent, intelligent companions.

{ ♪ } -- She practically squawked as she saw the stranger go down. Immediately, she rushed forward. The Breeder pulled the Growlithe away gently.

"I'm so sorry! He's still very young and just gets really excited..."

Looking at the canine, she brushed her hand over his face and pressed her forehead to his. She would instruct, not scold.

"Patriot. We can't tackle people. It can hurt them, especially if you accidentally use ember or something similar. It's important to wait for me, okay?"

Bella didn't anticipate a real response from her companion, but that was fine. Looking over, she shifted so the feline Pokémon on her shoulders wouldn't be at risk of slipping.

"Hello! I'm sorry. Again. Patriot is just excitable. I suppose he smelled your Lycanroc on you and thought he could make a friend."

My two cents on the whole 'ride Pokemon aren't nobles' debacle with PLA; I frankly think its kinda dumb that they made a big deal in game about the Ten Pokemon that fought with the Ancient Hero... but only treat half of them as worthy religious figures for whatever reason.

I've always approached it as there being two different levels of Nobles - The Greater/Offensive (aka the canon Nobles™️) and the Lesser/Defensive (aka the canon Ride 'mons). The Offensive ones are those that would take battles head-on to keep it far away to protect the Clans whereas the Defensive would focus on directly keeping the Clans safe. Hence why they would over time become the Ride 'mons, as they would carry people safely away from the dangerous battles.

The Ride mons might get a little less direct respect overtime because the common person is simply more familiar with them, more chummy, compared to the others who keep their distance and cause people to fall back on overly respectful to make up for any discomfort. But they are ultimately all still Nobles at the end of the day.

Of course, this is just my fanon take. It certainly is my approach for the Catching Trains fic (not that its been of much focus lol). But it's my sandbox too so I figure I'll build castles the way I like.

Ben 10 pokemon au

hi this is what ive been working on its taken me a bit

Basically my brain hasent been able to pick a fixation, so my partner suggested mixing them and thats how this au was born!

So to info dump all my thoughts ben in this au is like just really good at pokemon battles, him gwen and grandpa max traveled around a summer when grandpa max got the go ahead from the kids parents to take them pokemon training (hes a professor and was champion a long time ago though he keeps it a secret)

Bens current team: ditto, goomy, forslass, incineroar, carnevine and xurkitree

younger Bens team: ditto, machamp, haunter, white striped basculin, quilava and yanma

(Not completely sure on his teams yet) his first pokemon was ditto

Theres not much to say here that isnt written on the drawing or said in Bens so im just gonna give you her teams

Gwens current team: delcatty, mimikyu, polteageist, hetterne, espeon and tinkaton

young Gwens team: skittie, sinistea, hatenna, eevee and tinkatink

skitte was har first pokemon, and i also put it and delcatty on her shirt instead of her usual cat logo cuz i thought it was cute

Ok Kevin time! Kevin was a street kid that joined team rocket to survive, hes also pretty good at pokemon battles. He tried befriend Ben to steal bens ditto when he was younger, later figuring out he really didnt like stealing pokemon or working for team rocket, so he came to grandpa max and asked for shelter, max ofc couldnt turn him down even with all the trouble hed caused. I havent draw their af/ua versions, but Gwen starts warming up to him and dating him, so Ben kinda just has to accept that Kevin is staying, he pretty annoyed at first, but him and Kevin quickly become best friends

Kevins current team: zoroark, melmetal, alolan golem, revavroom, onyx and sudowodoo

young Kevins team: zorua, alolan geodude, varoom, onyx, bonsly and meltan

Kevins first pokemon was zorua

Rook shows up when ben is left alone cuz Gwen and Kevin go and take over gyms as gym leaders. Rook is a new gym leader who grandpa max has convinced Ben he should make friends with cuz hes pretty lonely without Gwen and Kevin, at first Ben is kinda mad about (like in the show) but he warms up to Rook pretty quick and they later start dating

Rooks team is: lucario, mienshao, heracross, quaquaval, bewear and hisuian decidueye

(I know the decidueye kinda dosnt make sense cuz its back in time and all that but lets ignore that)

And thats all for now!! Expect more cuz i really like this au and i wanna draw them with their pokemon!! :DDDD!!
