So big progress on the Faun playthrough thing. Met Kamado, caught some Pokémon and quelled a noble.

But first, a moment from our sponsor Ginkgo Guild merchant Volo-

Anyway, after meeting Kamado and getting the crafting kit, the Rei, Mai and Alpha Kricketune battles went swimmingly, and when I say swimmingly, I mean Vade kept getting two shot so I had to rely on the not very obedient Joy to carry.

o lawd he comin.

After that, I did what any sane person would do and hunted for a female Eevee, it took forever because the Eevee spawns hate me, but I finally got her lmfaoo.

Then, I went to the Heartwood, now pls take a moment to appreciate Faun in her home.

and sad lian.

also nah rei got a point let bro cook. (also throwing laventon at kleavor could quell him ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)

it scares me to think of what laventon balls would look like. Anyway, on my way back to Heartwood, I saw a shaking tree and decided to try my luck for a Cherubi and lo and behold I got one! Lucky me lol.

By the way, the Kleavor fight went alright. I did it first try, but all my Pokémon fainted. However, I only got hit three times! New record for me as I usually get to red lol

oh yea and i also unlocked wrydeer

Also this Volo pose aaaa (also i like to hc he was the one who gave her Joy because he was like "well I caught this shiny Togepi but my Togepi is already perfect so I'll just give it to that girl who fell out of the sky ig")

Volo get yo ass into Masters pls I'm beggin 👉👈

Anyway here's the team rn

Vade (Ralts) lvl.20

Sunny (Cherubi) lvl.17

Lin (Eevee) lvl.5(?)

Joy (Togepi) lvl.34

Gonna go to Crimson Mirelands to get the last two Pokémon I need when I can, I'll update you once I get Ursaluna!

Yellow 💛 french anon here

Ok so me and two friends of mine were discussing about your pingo AU since i show it to them and like they fell in love with it but anyways, so we were talking about it and then Redda (one of my friends) suddenly stop talking and after two/three minutes she gasp and say:

Redda: Ok, ok! Listen! What if we took Tom Holland Spider-man and throw in there???

Oppalio: Redda . you . forking . genius!!!!

Me: Oh MY GOD YESSSSSS!!!

And we keep going on and on about because just yes! So here is what we manage to create storyline wise.

-------

Ok so first it happened like some month after No Way Home (sorry if you didn't watch it so spoilers here), (Tom Holland) Peter is all alone, the last Parker alive and nobody remembers him. Right now he is very sad because of that, Arceus (or Giratina idk but one of the two) see that even though they ate a God from an inter other univers and decide by watching him and is life that mm yes great hero he will be a great help (Arceus) or fuck no you've been alone enough child here you go found family now stop being sad (Giratina) and just isekai him into the pokemon world and to Ingo.

He didn't lost any of his memories and is still very sad 😢 and now in an other world that he now about because he (headcanon of mine) use to play the game alot when he was a child (Black & White, B2 & W2, X & Y and the other newer game excepted the ones on the switch because brook), he is forking terrified but then calm down realizing, his own world need Spider-man but not him because nobody remembers him, is a ghost in is own wolrd, only existing there has only Spider-man not Peter Parker and here he can be himself, he can be Peter Parker with a little pinche of Spidey in there. He get up and noticed a small pokemon, an eevee close to him, looking at him. After that he start to wander around with the small eevee on his shoulder.

After some minute of wandering he finally checked is pocket finding his web-shooter and his cracked phone with only one message showing, Find Warden Ingo and help them hero (Arceus) or Find Warden Ingo, your new family and be happy hero (Giratina). So that what he did and it was verrrry fast since the second he put is phone down he bumps into Ingo himself, after some apologizing from both side Ingo finally present himself and Peter did the same. And like every other fallers Ingo decide to adopte him. And that how Peter gain a new and very very big family at 18 years old.

---------

And we also think that Peter wouldn't really hide about his power since he doesn't need to because every one of his new family can very well defend themselves all alone but still he didn't outright say it but once he jump in and save the gremlins trio (Hilda, Elio and Gloria) + Brendan from an Alpha Steelix by literally punching it in one shot (Spidey can literally lift a blinded tank with ease and punch a T-Rex out cold in one punche) he had to explain his power and all the children were in awe and accept him very easily.

(Hilda: That so fucking cool!!!!!!!!!!

Ingo: Hilda language)

And i already add some idea for some pokemon he will catch:

- The eevee he befriended evolved into an Umbreon named Michelle

- An Audino he catch named May

- Two Rotom Ingo gave him because they kept flying around him, one's named Karen and the other's (a shiny) named Tony

- A poor little Joltik misplaced by a distortion named Droney

- And A Huisian Growlith named Ned

But anyways, he help Ingo around with the other children, play prank war with the gremlins trio, watch Calem and Cyllene swords match, wanders around with Brendan, just stay silent petting his pokemon with Red and many more.

That all for now, sorry if I gotten all out on you about this but me and my friend wouldn't stop thinking about it and we really wanted to shared it with you (my friend are right hovering over my shoulders, watching me write down this ask 😂) and sorry if you don't like Spider-man or Marvel or if you didn't watch No Way Home ^^".

Ok that all for now and keep doing what your doing with your AU's me and my friend loves them bye-bye.

Redda and Oppalio: Bye!!!

Haha you and your friends sound so kind! I’m glad you all like the au!! And thank you for all of you wanting to share this with me!!

While I am unsure of how to go about multi-media crossover concepts, it sounds like you and your friends have this concept down pretty well and are having a lot of fun with it! And while I’m not the most familiar with marvel/Spider-man stuff, I have seen No Way Home! (and it’s very good!! I enjoyed it!!)

AUs where characters are pulled into video games they play are always very fun to play around with, I really like that idea!! (Plus it gives the character an advantage since they know so much about the world through the video game) and having a little Eevee friend sounds so nice ;w;

And I can imagine how his tech would give him a big advantage haha, kids would want to wonder where that came from and probably think he’s trying to imitate Pokémon moves, like string shot!

And I like your thoughts on his team! The shiny rotom is great especially haha. And a joltik would be perfect! Love your choices and their names!

Your thoughts are so sweet, you and your friends have some really nice ideas!! Thank you to you and your friends for sharing them with me!! I’m so glad you like the AUs developed here haha. Hope you and your friends have a great day!! :)

6 Miraculous Character's if they had a Pokemon Team

Technically they would all be in Kalos, but I ignored that when choosing Pokemon.

Warning: Some of the reasonings are very weak 😅

PokeStylist Marinette: Ledian, Leavanny, Alcremei, Furfrou, Togedemaru, Sylveon

Ledian is a reference to Tikki, and Ladybug.

Leavanny makes clothes for other Pokemon out of leaves and it's own made silk.

Alcremei is a reference to her work at her parent's bakery.

Furfrou's fur is able to be styled and cut wich is something I can see Marinette enjoying.

Togedemaru is a reference to her time as Multimouse.

Syleveon is for Marinette's too big heart for her friends, and family.

Trainer/Coordinator Adrien: Galade, Alolan!Meowth, Furfrou, Fem!Indeedee, Absol, Eevee

Galade is a nod to Chat Noir calling himself a knight.

Alolan!Meowth is a reference to Plagg.

Furfrou is a not to Adrien's job as a model.

Absol is a reference to Chat's bad luck.

Fem!Indeedee is just a reference to Natalie.

Eevee is to symbolize Adrien not really knowing his goal yet due to his father's choices for him.

Performer Chloe: Vespiquin, Kirlia, Nidoqueen, Serperior, Meowth, Emolga

Vespiquin is because Chloe was Queen Bee.

Kirlia is in reference of early Chloe wanting to be with Adrien.

Nidoqueen is again a nod to Queen Bee.

Serperior is for Chloe's 'superior' personality.

Meowth is a reference to her being rich.

Emolga mostly because Chloe reminds me of Iris' Emolga in the anime.

Blogger/Coordinator Alya: Braixan, Golett, Pikachu, Charmeleon, Butterfree, Elgyem

Braixian is for Rena Rouge.

Golett is for the Golett in the anime that holds a camera for its trainer.

Pikachu is a popular Pokemon, which I think Alya would have to increase views on her blog.

Charmeleon is again because Charizard is popular, but also Charmeleon have rather brash attitudes that I can see Alya having at times.

Butterfree is just so Alya can get air shots.

Elgyem is a reference to her conspiracy theorist side.

Trainer Nino: Exploud, Buneary, Popplio, Chatot, Piloswine, Tortera

Exploud is for is music/DJ work.

Buneary is quite simply to have a couple Pokemon with Alya. Pikachu x Buneary.

Popplio is a reference to the Bubbler

Chatot is another nod to his music.

Piloswine is a nod to Nino's chill personality.

Tortera is a reference to his time as Carapace.

Coordinator/Performer Lila: Fennekin, Zoroark, Glameow, Kecleon, Gangar, Ocean!Vivillion

Fennekin is in honor of her time as Volpina.

Zoroark is also a not to Volpina, but the darker side of it.

Glameow is a reference of her 'Saved Jagged Stone's Kitten' lie.

Kecleon is in honor of her time as Chameleon.

Gengar is simply in honor of the darker side of her lies, and what they could cause.

Ocean!Vivillion is just so we could have a Pokemon Lie. Lila lies as says her Ocean!Vivillion is a shiny Sivanna!Vivillion.

*Note: Adrien is only a Coordinator because of his dad, and Alya is only a Coordinator to get her Pokemon blog out there*

Krenko’s Guide to Pokemon: Poliwag Line

Ah, Poliwhirl, the main character of Pokemon.

...What, you thought it was Pikachu?

Well, sure, Pikachu became it, because people didn’t like Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Poliwrath enough, but if you go back and look at the earliest Pokemon promotional material, you’ll find the Poliwag line everywhere, because Satoshi Tajiri himself wanted to push it as the big symbol of Pokemon and Evolution- the tadpole turning into a frog.

Back in the day, Poliwag’s line was inexplicably everywhere. There’d be toy lines of “Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, PIkachu, Meowth, and Poliwhirl.” Poliwhirl was on all the promotional material. Hell, when Pokemon was on the cover of Time Magazine, guess who was front and center.

But nobody actually liked Poliwhirl all that much so eventually the Pokemon company stopped putting it in everything. Eh, they can’t all be winners. DESIGN: Poliwag is actually super cute. It’s a tadpole with a spiral reminiscent of real tadpole intestines (visible through translucent skin) but not gross at all. Feel free to google that on your own time. I’ve decided not to share the picture here. The little feet show it’s just starting to turn into not-a-tadpole and it’s got a cute little mouth for blowing bubbles. I love Poliwag. Poliwhirl is... fine. Trading the tail for arms makes sense, but what I don’t really get is losing any semblance of a mouth. It just looks weird. Incomplete maybe. There’s something inherently offputting about Poliwhirl’s appearance and I honestly think it’s that it has no mouth, so it’s not clear that that big swirly thing is supposed to be its tummy.

Poliwrath is just a design I don’t like. It’s just Angry Poliwhirl. It’s thicker and has bicep, but it still suffers from the weird mouth issue that Poliwhirl does, and it doesn’t actually look like a different creature. It might just be the least noticeable change in an evolution in all of Pokemon. Seriously, look back and forth between Poliwhirl and Poliwrath quickly and tell me those are two different Pokemon and not just, like, the male and female variant of one. At least with Poliwrath I think I see where its mouth is sort of SUPPOSED to be, but with it closed so tight I can’t really tell. Its made even more confusing because Poliwag shoots “Water Gun” out of its mouth, but Poliwhirl shoots it out of its belly.

And then there’s Politoed. Politoed has a mouth! I approve. Unfortunately, I feel like Politoed diverges too much from Poliwag and Poliwhirl.

The coloration is entirely different, which would be fine if Poliwhirl wasn’t the exact same color as Poliwag, there’s suddenly a huge mouth, the hands and feet are three-fingered instead of whatever’s going on with Poliwhirl, and while there’s still a stomach swirl it’s not only less pronounced, it’s a different color. Now, I will say that overall I do like Politoed’s design. I think it’s a cool frog monster that’s clearly a frog but also has enough unique traits to be interesting. I just don’t feel that it looks like the frog Poliwag was destined to become.

Now, Shiny Politoed actually goes a long way to fix this just by being the same colors as Poliwhirl, but my general feeling here is that if Poliwag to Poliwhirl’s transformation involves big gloved hands and raised eyes, then the Poliwhirl to Politoed evolution should’ve kept those. Also, I don’t get why it has a single long hair. The Pokedex says that hair is proof of its status as a King, and it does evolve via King’s Rock, so maybe there’s some Frog Prince shenanigans going on there, but I just don’t see it. EVOLUTIONS: I love Branching Evolutions, generally, especially ones where you just get a choice. Poliwag to Poliwhirl is a normal level 25, and Poliwhirl to Wrath or Toed is Water Stone or Traded With King’s Rock... And I gotta say, I kind of hate “Trade with King’s Rock.” I don’t think I’ve gone into this yet but I’ll definitely say it a lot in the future: Trade evolutions that require additional items are a pain in the butt, a waste of everyone’s time, and there’s too many different items for them. Also, Trading is already a bit of a thing. Why not just make Poliwhirl evolve into Poliwag by using the King’s Rock like an evolution stone? You know there’s like 40 evolution items and most of them only apply to one Pokemon? And King’s Rock only applies to two.

Look, I understand and begrudgingly respect that, until they came to their senses in Sword and Shield, Pokemon didn’t want to include evolution methods that were attemptable and failable in an earlier game, like using a Leaf Stone on Eevee, but I will never understand while Sneasel needs a Razor Claw but Gligar needs a Razor Fang even though both work by being held items that trigger evolution on level up. And King’s Rock, Metal Coat, Upgrade, and Dragon Scale were what started this mess. And why the devil can’t Seadra become Kingdra with a KING’S Rock? Somehow Politoed is more king than Kingdra? Anyway, split evolutions are cool when they’re sufficiently different. Though Politoed and Poliwrath seem similar, they have a decently different move list and, most importantly, Poliwrath leans Physical while Politoed leans Special. TYPING: Poliwrath is a rather unique Water/Fighting combo which gives it a whopping seven resistances. Sure, this comes with five weaknesses, but if you play smart it means you can switch Poliwrath into a lot of attacks. Also, a Water/Fighting combo gives super effective coverage against seven types, and nothing resists both types. This is a really comfortable place to be. Politoed is pure water, which is fine defensively with four resistances and only two weaknesses, but with only three types of STAB coverage and three types that resist all its STAB attacks it’s going to have a much harder time putting out damage.

STATS: You know what’s weird? Poliwhirl has speed 90. Both Poliwrath and Politoed have speed 70. While it’s not unheard of for a Pokemon to have a stat decrease, especially a speed decrease, on evolution, Poliwhirl is the only Gen One pokemon to have this issue, other than Caterpie and Weedle who lose Attack and Speed upon cocooning but got it back in their final forms. Some Gen One Pokemon retroactively got it later, like Onix and Scyther both losing speed when they become Steel types, but Poliwhirl was the first. Anyway, actual stats. Both Poliwrath and Politoed have above average HP and below average speed. Poliwrath has comfortable defenses at 95 and 90, and a decent 95 attack. It’s not exactly a heavy hitter, but it’s good all around. Politoed has 75 Attack and Defense, just a bit below average, but a Special Defense of a good 100. Its Special attack at 90 is just a smidge lower than Poliwrath’s attack, but it’s still fine.

ABILITIES: For main abilities, both Poliwrath and Politoed have Water Absorb and Damp. Damp, as mentioned for Psyduck, is basically useless. It shuts off self-destructing moves, but those don’t really come up enough to matter. Water Absorb is just good. Water Absorb replaces their Water Resistance not with Immunity, but the ability to heal any time they’re hit by a water attack. In a normal battle, this lets them catch Water attacks even better than they’d be able to otherwise, and jump into them late game to heal. In a 2v2, this allows your ally to spam Surf, healing your Poliwhatever while also damaging both enemies. We’re going to see Water Absorb a lot in the future, and it’s always an entirely solid ability.... but both hidden abilities are worth talking about. Poliwrath’s Hidden Ability is Swift Swim, which doubles it speed in the rain, and it’s another ability a lot of water Pokemon have. Obviously this takes some setup to use, but Poliwrath’s speed is right at the level where it’s poor normally but suddenly really good with Swift Swim up. If your team can reliably trigger it, it’s a serious boost to Poliwrath’s overall effectiveness. Whether this is better than Water Absorb absolutely depends on your team. Politoed... gets one of the greatest abilities in the game. I said this when Ninetails came up, but if a has Drought, Snow Warning, Drizzle, or Sand Stream it’s automatically useful. Politoed is one of only three Pokemon with Drizzle, and while Kyogre is the Obvious Best of the three, it’s a Legendary that’s banned in many tournaments, so the competition is just Politoed and Pelipper- and honestly, they’re both entirely reasonable options. Drizzle is a free action Rain Dance. That’s it. And that’s all you need. Politoed comes out and oh look it’s raining. Now water attacks do more damage, fire attacks do less, and all those other fun rain abilities are triggered. Politoed is a strategy in himself, and even if his stats were much worse, Drizzle would still be reason to use him.

Unless you’re in a format where Kyogre’s legal in which case, to hell with the little frog.

MOVES: As always we start with our attacks. Poliwrath has two main fighting options, the defensive Drain Punch or the offensive Close Combat. As Poliwrath is a bit on the bulky side and not really strong enough to reliably one-shot things with Close Combat, I’d lean toward Drain Punch. For Water, Poliwrath gets.... Liquidation. It’s not impressive, but it’s STAB Physical. Poliwrath actually has a serious move problem in that many of its best moves are Special rather than Physical, but it’s physical attack stat is much higher. With a Swift Swim Poliwrath, Waterfall becomes a lot more desirable than Liquidation, as it’s likely to outspeed its foes, but if your Poliwrath isn’t built for speed, that Flinch is unlikely to happen. Politoed has this question a lot easier. It can learn Surf, Hydro Pump, and Scald, depending on which better fits your tactics.

Poliwrath’s coverage options are Darkest Lariat, Earthquake, Ice Punch, Rock Slide, and Poison Jab. Of these, Darkest Lariat works against Ghost and Fairy, Earthquake against Poison and Electric, Ice Punch against Flying, Grass, and Dragon, Rock Slide against Flying and Bug, and Poison Jab against Grass and Fairy. Obviously there’s no way to win them all, but Poliwrath can reasonably threaten a lot of types.

Politoed’s coverage options are Ice Beam, Psychic, Earth Power, and Focus Blast... But with guaranteed Rain Dance and STAB, it’s better off using Water against anything that isn’t Dragon, Grass, or Water. Nothing it has hits water, so Ice Beam is the only secondary attack it needs to pick up. (Politoed would be utterly busted if it could learn Thunder, but it can’t so... Ice Beam it is.) And then there’s the question of utility, and Poliwrath has a lot of it. Option A is Belly Drum. Belly Drum punches your pokemon in the gut, hard, dropping their HP in half... and raises their Attack by six stages. It’s a dangerous gambit, but Poliwrath is bulky enough and has enough resistances to give it a shot. Option B: Rest. Poliwrath can take a nap and heal to full. Lots of Pokemon can learn rest, but most Pokemon don’t have above-average defenses and seven resistances. Poliwrath can combine Rest with Sleep Talk (but don’t combine Sleep Talk with Belly Drum or you’ll just kill yourself,) in order to keep performing moves while asleep. Of particular note, Circle Throw changes from -6 Priority off of Sleep Talk to using Sleep Talk’s priority, making it a solid option that keeps your opponent from properly fighting back against your sleepy frog. With this strategy, using Scald over Waterfall or Liquidation becomes reasonable. The damage is much less, but Burning an opponent cuts their Attack and deals damage over time. Option C: Bulk Up. If you’re worried about the HP loss of Belly Drum, just Bulk Up instead. It’s weaker, but it raises Defense too, and then you can get back to Drain Punching. Politoed doesn’t have that much for utility options (though Perish Song, Protect, and Encore all have their uses) but that’s fine because the goal here is to just set up rain and then blast enemies with a water attack and Ice Beam or switch out into something that can better take advantage of the rain. You don’t need other utility when you have Drizzle. Take Splash for all I care. It doesn’t matter: Hydro Pump, Surf or Scald Ice Beam Whatever. Maybe take Rest and Sleep Talk, too. Politoed’s pretty bulky. It doesn’t really matter. Drizzle means that Politoed is secretly one of the strongest Special Attackers in the game. Just make sure you have a Ground type on the team so you can safely switch when you’re staring down an Electric type, because you do not want to eat a Thunder. OVERALL: Poliwrath and Politoed, despite being counterparts, are very different pokemon. Poliwrath’s near-unique typing, shared only with Legendaries, and solid bulk gives it an interesting defensive position, with a wide range of attack coverage. Meanwhile, Politoed has Drizzle, which makes a pokemon on its own. Everything else is just gravy. And I seriously wasn’t kidding about Poliwhirl being on EVERYTHING.

Birthday Challenge Day 21 (2011)

Requested by: anon

Song: Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera

Wordcount: 748

Warnings: smutty

Pairing: Johnny Utah x Reader

Your eyes met his across the bar and you looked away with a small smirk. You knew his type: the big jock who knew he was handsome and had every woman around throwing themselves at him so he never needed to make an effort.

“Hi.” His voice was husky. The words whispered right against your ear and you grinned. Cocky son of a bitch.

“Hey,” you replied, pulling back and putting some space between you two as you let your gaze rake over him.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and lean muscles. The body of a swimmer. His dark hair pushed back from his eyes, framing the tanned face and the warm brown eyes. Sharp jawline, and perfect cupid bow lips. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt and washed out jeans. A bottle of beer hung from his fingers as he looked at you.

“Johnny,” he flashed you a thousand-watt grin and you leaned back on the bar, elbows on the counter as you watched him. “And you are?”

“Not interested,” you said with a wink, flipping your hair as you spun to face the bartender, waving for another drink.

“Put it on my tab,” Johnny said, perching on the seat next to you and giving you a wink. “So, not interested, did your parents hate you to saddle you with such a terrible name?”

You chuckled at the weak joke, shaking your head. He was good. Persistent without being annoying; more like in a charming way. So as a reward, you gave him your name, making grin victoriously.

“How about a dance?” he glanced back at the center of the club where couples ground together to the loud beat of rock music and you watched him in consideration. It had been a while for you and this could be just a fun night.

“How about we skip that and just head out?” you cocked your eyebrow at him, downing your shot without a wince and Johnny’s grin grew.

“A direct woman. I appreciate that.” He jumped from his stool throwing some money on the counter, enough to cover his and your tab, before offering you his hand. “Yours or mine?”

“Yours,” you replied, letting Johnny guide you through the maze of bodies until you two stepped into the cold night, his arm coming around your shoulders to offer you some warmth when he noticed you shivering. “I like to be able to just get up and leave.”

Johnny just nodded, opening the door of his car for you and as soon as he climbed on the driver’s seat, you took a hold of his shirt and smashed your lips against his. You needed to be sure that you weren’t wasting your time. A pretty face didn’t mean a good fuck, but you could tell a lot about a man from the way he kissed you.

And Johnny did not disappoint. He rolled with the punches, his surprise only lasting a second, before he caught up with the schedule and licked into your mouth, kissing you with fervor, his tongue dancing with yours as he tilted your head just right to ease the stretch of your jaw.

When you finally parted for breath, Johnny gave you a dazzling smile, his eyes hooded, his lips swollen and shiny and he was so hot like this you just wanted to climb on his lap and let him take you now because if he could kiss you like this, he damn well would fuck you to an inch of your life and you couldn’t wait.

“Drive,” you ordered, settling against the seat and letting your hand rest on his thigh.

“Yes ma’am.” There it was again, the cocky grin as he turned the key on the ignition and pulled the car into traffic.

A low grunt escaped his lips as you cupped the bulge on his jeans, rubbing him to full hardness and smirked at the shape of him against his thigh, pressing against the fabric.

“How far to your place?” you asked, licking your lips and Johnny cursed, knuckles turning white on the steering wheel.

“15 minutes.”

“Well, I hope you’re a good driver, Johnny,” you said, popping the button and lowering the zipper of his jeans, smirking when you noticed he wasn’t wearing any underwear and his cock sprung free. “Keep those eyes on the road.” You lowered yourself closer to his erection, letting your breath ghost against the leaking tip. “And don’t come until I say.”

Part 2 Part 4

Master post

Words: 2,417

Summery: 'Just below their room sat a few tipped over metal garbage cans, something small and dark looking in all of them, sniffing. It's tail sank down in disappointment as it backed out the last one, not finding what it was looking for, and Thomas couldn't help but gasp.

The pokemon heard as it's head head shot up, ears pricked in fear as it stared back. Roman flicked his tail against Thomas' arm as the Eevee felt something, something he knew the trainer would be feeling as well. Thomas flinched as his mind snapped back in place, ready to call to the creature, but it was already running back into the forest.

And in a matter of moments, the dark furred Eevee was out of sight.'

Making it through half a forest usually means a bit of rest is deserved, right?

Well of course, until you see another soul piece outside your window.

Now, how are we going to befriend this one? Flower crowns? Patton is on the job

Thomas smiled as the path below his feet broke the tree cover, placing him and his team in a large clearing. He did love camping out in the woods, the wind whistling songs throughout the night and the stars danced above, but something about sleeping in an actual bed brought home back.

He stared at the Pokecenter that (from what he read) laid near the middle of the woods, meaning they where about half way through. The sun was still up yes, but was silently sinking closer to disappearing below the thick tree tops.

"Come on, almost there" he reassured Patton who, unlike Roman and Logan who where walking on either side of Thomas, laid across the trainers shoulders, attempting to stay awake either till they reach the Pokecenter or a campsite was set up. Thankfully for the silver Eevee, they entered and booked a room in a matter of minutes. Thomas softly set him down on the bed, slipping off his glasses as Logan jumping up next to the human, giving him a 'thank you' chirp as he pawed off his own pair before curling around his partner. Thomas had to bite his lip to stop the squeal trying to erupt at the soft cuddles, the slightly larger dark silver Eevee laying a tail over the other, heads set next to each other as purrs erupted.

Thomas sat on the bed as he pet Roman, who had plopped into his lap after the trainer had changed into pajamas. The two Eevees had been a part of his team for some time now, Logan even assisting with the last gym battle. He glanced happily at the sleeping two, glad that they felt the connection as strong as Thomas did.

The quiet spell though was brokens as a few quiet sounds of metal on metal crashed outside his second story room. Thomas blinked in confusion, Roman paddling curiously behind the trainer as he opened and looked out the window.

Just below their room sat a few tipped over metal garbage cans, something small and dark looking in all of them, sniffing. It's tail sank down in disappointment as it backed out the last one, not finding what it was looking for, and Thomas couldn't help but gasp.

And in a matter of moments, the dark furred Eevee was out of sight.

______________________________

Thomas stared tiredly onto his breakfast plate, touched as much as Thomas had slept last night. So, naturally, the plate was basically still full.

Roman was having the same issue, eating a bit before leaving the bowl of pokefood to the other two.

Neither could get their minds off the dark Eevee as it dashed back into the forest, obvious fear fueling each limb. They explained what they saw to Logan and Patton, but the shinies hadn't had that much contact with other pokemon, let alone an Eevee in a different forest.

They packed up and, after thanking the Nurse Joy, continued back into the forest.

Thomas' mind flicked back to last night, remembering the Eevee had ran away this direction. He wondered if the Eevee had a home out here, or if it was running back to the town. If it was the second option, the kiddo had a long two day journey ahead.

Roman nuzzled his cheek in understanding, Patton giving a small chirp of reassurement from his other shoulder. He felt Logan brush against his leg in comfort, feeling the anxiety come off in waves.

"Thanks guys" he laughed, giving Roman and Patton a few skritches, feeling Logan hop up onto his messenger bag. He gave a few to Logan before continuing down the path,

not noticing the violet eyes carefully watch the trainer walk away. A skitter of paws, and the curious pokemon followed.

______________________________

Thomas giggled as a purring Roman attempted to playfully swipe at a Butterfree, failing by a couple of feet as the Butterfree just fluttered higher. During their walk through the woods an enormous field of flowers caught their attention and before he knew what was happening, Patton was already playfully bouncing through them.

It was a wonderful sight, emerald green grass poked between hundreds of thousands of flowers, the rainbow spectrum shining off every petal. Delicate green stems dug into the rich soul as Butterfree, Combee, Cutiefly, and so many others drank nectar and fluttered in the sun. Zigzagoon, Oddish, Rattata, and more species of pokemon hopped around in the bright sun shining happily, gladly playing with Roman and Patton. A bright blue sky shone upon Thomas and Logan as they sat watching the others, soft white puffy clouds lazily drifted away by a warm breeze.

Since night had not been far off from the horizon as they found the place, Thomas set up the tent by a crystal blue pond as the Eevee's went around assuring they meant no harm. The stars shone brightly as more nocturnal pokemon came out, Thomas even catching Logan laying down on a large rock right by the ponds edge, staring wistfully at the sky as stars reflected in water. It was so peaceful Thomas had stop and watch as not a single ripple disturbed the water, waxing crescent moon shining far above, draping its light across the dark silver Eevee's fur.

Logan was still out there as Thomas fell asleep, but by morning was curled up on Thomas' chest with Patton and Roman.

Patton pawed at leaves from Oddish's head "so these are plants, but they've always been there?" He wondered, fascinated. The Oddish giggled and nodded as they heard a Vileplume call for its family. The little one hopped away, waving a leaf in goodbye and Patton chirped one back. He looked around exited, now who should he play with next-

Gray eyes met Violet.

Patton stared at the Eevee, remembering the description Thomas gave them

"It was dark outside, but over the trashcans there was a light. It looked like a dark brown furred Eevee, not a shiny dark grey like Logan but a darker Roman. I swear I saw saw Violet eyes stare back before it ran off."

Before the Eevee could repeat its actions Patton bounced happily over to it "hi!" He greeted excitedly.

"U-uh hi" the Eevee mumble shyly, shrinking back.

Patton took no offense "do you wanna play?" He asked, surprising the other "or pick flowers? Oh, or I can teach you how to make flower crowns! I was teaching Roman but he had kinda a hard time with it" the Eevee looked conflicted, not wanting to sadden the Pokepuff in front of him, but..

He glanced at Thomas "um.. sure, but c-can we stay away from the trainer?" Patton saddened only for a moment, before perking back up. He had wanted to introduce the Eevee to the others, but it was still a wild pokemon, and even most of the wild pokemon out playing with the Eevees stayed away from the human.

"Sure!" The Eevee seemed to relax a bit, following Patton to a patch of purple, light blue, red, and indigo flowers. He saw that Thomas noticed them, but was staying away with a smile.

"By the way, I'm Patton" he commented, showing the Eevee how to braid the stems together with their paws and teeth. Eevee looked up from a purple and light blue crown that was going well "you have a name? Does your trainer know?" "Oh, he gave me the name. He asked if I wanted one, and I liked it!" Patton grabbed another red flower, skillfully weaving it in "I think he asked Roman if he wanted a name too, when they first met" Patton flicked his tail to the bandanna wearing Eevee, currently pawing at the water in curiosity. Hearing his name, he popped up and looked around, only for his gaze to lock onto the dark furred Eevee in excitement.

He bounded over "hey!" He greeted, softly tapping Patton's head, who giggled in reply.

He plopped down next the silver Eevee, curiously staring as the dark furred Eevee shrunk in a little more. Patton sighed, flicking his tail at Roman as he returned to his flower crown "Roman, it's rude to stare" the Eevee blinked, not even realizing the action he was doing as he was enchanted by the others unique eyes.

After a bit, Patton sprang up holding his flower crown in his mouth, yet.. it seemed too big to fit on an Eevee. "Be right back" his muffled voice told the two as he trotted over to the trainer.

Eevee glanced up at Roman, who was uncurling having taken a nap against Patton, before turning to finish his flower crown to avoid eye connection. He'd never been good with others since.. her, only connecting with his family, like their souls were somehow connected. But then..

He remembered falling into a crate as he attempted to grab an apple, and then another crate being placed on top. He remembered hearing the cries of his family as the truck drove off, watching his family shrink smaller and smaller through a hole as the truck zoomed faster and faster.

As the crate opened to air he leapt out, only to appear into a place he didn't know. He'd realized at that moment he had to search for them find them again, running off before a human could grab his scruff. He could lose them, he couldn't lose his past.

He tied the last flower in place as Patton came back, only..

He froze as the human sat down next to Roman, now wearing a familiar flower crown. Another Eevee sat next to Patton, curiously tilting his head at the wild pokemon.

"Hey kiddo" the human spoke softly, as though sorry if he scared the Eevee. Ha, a trainer being sorry "just wanted to say hi, I didn't know why you ran off the other night so I was a bit worried" his voice sounded genuine, perhaps even happy for something, but Eevee didn't know if it was true.

Something though, for the first time, told him it was.

The new Eevee blinked behind his glasses "I see Patton has taught you how to make those flower crowns. An impressive feet for someone to learn with paws" Eevee shuffled to a sitting position "its not.. that good" he mumbled, poking the messy braided flowers.

"But it is!" Patton cried, jumping up causing Eevee to jolt back in fear "sorry" he apologized. "Really it is" the mystery Eevee commented, blinking as he realized something "I'm Logan by the way."

"More like Logay" Roman muttered "though truly, you did a splendid job. In all my attempts I haven't achieved the ability to even braid two flowers together" Eevee nodded, shyly but curiously looking at the trainer. He stayed quiet, legs crossed grinning like a Chansey until the Eevee's eyes met his.

"I'm guessing at least Logan introduced himself" he laughed "I'm Thomas" Eevee nodded, conflicted feelings raging inside.

"Hey bud, do you have a name?" The Eevee blinked in shock, needing the ground. He couldn't help but drop his ears as he shook his head, a tad ashamed. Thomas just smiled encouragingly "would you like one?"

Yes. He couldn't lie, he'd always wanted a name, but never felt the courage to name himself or admit this fact.

"you have a name? Does your trainer know?" "Oh, he gave me the name. He asked if I wanted one, and I liked it!"

But this trainer.. he had asked before he named the others. He could have forced one, whether they wanted it or not. Maybe..

Slowly, he nodded.

"Alright hmm.." Thomas seemed to actually think hard, as if this was the biggest decision he'd ever make.

What if it was really bad? What if he didn't like it but the trainer wanted to keep it so he was forced to know that that was his name for all existence? What if because of this the trainer would say he belongs to him now and force captures him and-

"Do you like the name Virgil?"

The Eevee stared. Virgil.. Virgil.. he..

Virgil looked up and nodded.

Thomas smiled, giggling a bit. He instinctively went to go pet Virgil, but stopped his hand. No, that wasn't his pokemon, and the poor little one acted extremely frightened.

"Sorry" he sheepishly apologized, thankful his hand didn't get far enough to scare the Eevee. It blinked at him before picking up a purple and blue flower crown. Huh, Patton must have shown him how.

And sure enough, the small Eevee cautiously walked forward, placing the flower crown on the light gray Eevee. It backed away and chirped, before turning away to the forest, yet..

It seemed to struggle, as though unable to move a paw away. Virigl shook his head before flicking his tail in goodbye, dashing off into the forest.

The Eevee's around him cried out at Thomas, wondering why the trainer let the pokemon leave, but Thomas just smiled.

"I know he'll come back" he softly said to no one in particular, the Eevee's looking at him in curiosity. He lifted his head up, staring as a small cloud passed above.

"It's his choice if he'll join, but I know it. Our puzzle piece will come back."

The purple eyed Eevee watched the team pack up, laughing together as Roman one last time inspected the water and Logan pushed him in. Virgil skirted around the pond, dashing to the other side of the forest, watching the team finish and continued walking down the path.

They didn't notice the dark furred Eevee follow from the shadows, connected souls carving his path.

'I've lost my past' he couldn't help but think, watching the team exit the forest. He darted after them, watching the team enter a Pokecenter. He curled in the shadows next to the building, front doors in view. Because he knew, somewhere in him, that this connection was to strong to run from. He didn't want to run from it. He smiled for the first time in a long time, curling up. 'Yes, I've lost my past

but found my future."

Four times Iwaizumi said I love you, and one time Oikawa beat him to it.

Iwaizumi is a lot of things. Gruff, tough, strong, brave, but all of that pales in the matter of embarrassing his best friend and he's learned a special trick. If saying 'I love you' makes Oikawa even more of a whiny brat, then that's just what Iwaizumi will do. A series of one-shots following Iwaizumi from confession through his and Oikawa's life together.

It's absolute, complete fluff nothing else.

Hajime glanced down at the purple plush Tooru had shoved into his arms.

“What is this?” He raised an eyebrow up at his best friend, carefully turning the creature around. It was soft but there were spines going down it’s back and it’s smile kind of looked like Kageyama’s.

“It’s Gengar!” Tooru chirped, grinning wildly for some reason. Hajime wondered if the Pokemon was supposed to be something special, he was never a big fan of Pokemon and didn’t really know what a Gengar was. “It’s for you! It’s a ghost type and loves to sneak up and bully people, just like Iwa-chan.”

Hajime grabbed it and chucked it at Tooru’s head, catching it when it bounced off as his best friend squawked and fixed his hair immediately. Tooru scowled at him and crossed his arms angrily at him.

“What?”

“You’re such a shit, Oikawa. Why do I want a Pokemon just for you to make fun of me? It’s stupid, and it’s grin creeps me out-”

“You’re right,” Tooru cut him off, turning away before Hajime could see his eyes and see if he was actually upset. “I should have gotten you Machamp, because he’s a big muscled idiot like you, no brains at all. You would have gotten along with him perfectly.”

“Oikawa-” He called after him when Tooru stormed out, heading towards the ice cream cart across the street. He rolled his eyes with a sigh, gently rolling the purple creature over to look it in the eyes. Tooru had already bought it so he couldn’t exactly put it back, but he didn’t really care for ghosts whether creatures or real. He wasn’t sure if Tooru was actually upset, or just trying to trick him into apologizing for insulting Pokemon but either way a few minutes to calm down would be best.

“Oh hey, there you are.” Matsukawa’s voice came from behind him and he turned to see him holding one of the expensive life size pokemons. He held it up proudly. “I’m going to hit Hanamaki with this and see if I can knock him down in one blow.”

“What the fuck is that?”

“Oh! It’s a Goomy, it was the first Pokemon Hanamaki ever caught when I lent him my game, y’know, when I got him addicted.” Matsukawa frowned for a second and Hajime couldn’t blame him, Hanamaki had gotten way into the game for a few months and almost had to be dragged to practice because he wanted to catch all the Pokemon on Matsukawa’s game. “But I see you have a Gengar, is it for Oikawa?”

“Huh? Why would it be for him?” Hajime said, then frowned at his own protectiveness of the plushy, he was already attached to the damn thing. Stupid thing.

“Gengar is Oikawa’s favorite Pokemon.”

“That’s an understatement,” Hanamaki’s voice cut in as he walked up, a large green dinosaur in his hand. He turned to Matsukawa and gasped, eyes wide. “They said they sold out of him though.”

“I pre-ordered him, just for you.” Matsukawa said, eyes soft and then smacked his best friend with the purple and pink plush. Hanamaki didn’t fall but he did burst into laughter, holding out the green dinosaur pokemon for Matsukawa.

“Funny, I pre-ordered him for you too.” Hanamaki said and Matsukawa cooed, quickly switching the two and squeezing the dinosaur. Hanamaki glanced over at Hajime’s confused expression. “Meganium, it’s the final evolution of Chikorita, the first Pokemon Matsukawa ever got. His game got corrupted so he wasn’t able to transfer her to the newest game where you can play with her, but now you can play with her all the time.”

“Hanamaki, marry me.” Matsukawa said into the plush’s neck and Hanamaki laughed, cheeks red.

“I intend to, but after college.” He teased then turned to Hajime before Matsukawa could say anything about that. “So, is that for Oikawa then?”

“Uh… No, he gave it to me… Why does he like the little gremlin? Cuz it looks like Kageyama?” He frowned down at the purple monster and tried not to feel like he was hurting it’s feelings.

“I mean, maybe. But Oikawa told me that in the old games the Pokedex, the tool that tells you about the Pokemon, it said that Gengar plays tricks because it’s lonely and wants someone to be it’s friend forever. Apparently he felt so bad he decided that he was going to be it’s best friend forever and won’t trade them for anything. I even offered to give him a legendary in return for just one of his Gengar’s and he nearly had a heart attack at the idea of trading them.” Hanamaki explained and Hajime blinked, something warm blossoming in his chest.

He hadn’t thought about it in years, long since forgotten since Oikawa had latched onto his side. How many times as a kid had he purposely harassed Tooru to try and get him to pay attention to him? How many times had he pranked him hoping Tooru would come out of his house and they could play together? How many times had Tooru jumped in front of him to yell at the older kids when Hajime’s pranks had gone wrong and swear he wasn’t going to leave him? When had they switched places?

He smiled at the purple creature, an idea forming. He did promise his mom he would confess before they graduated highschool, and this would get Tooru to forgive him for insulting his favorite Pokemon, it was perfect. He turned to Matsukawa and Hanamaki, rolling his eyes when they gasped at his smile.

“Can you two nerds help me with something?”

“Oikawa!” The tall brunette glanced over at him, two cones held in his hand as he tilted his head at Hajime. So not too upset, and any left over hurt was immediately washed away as he looked at Hajime’s chest.

“Is that a baby carrier?” Tooru squealed with laughter at the sight of Gengar carefully tucked into the baby carrier and held to Hajime’s chest. He didn’t even notice Hajime’s hands behind his back.

“I didn’t want to drop him!” Hajime insisted, frowning down at the little guy. He was way too attached to the little bastard already and he blamed Oikawa. “Come on, shit head, quit holding up the line.”

“Oh right, sorry!” He smiled at the person behind him and skipped ahead with both of their ice creams. “Where’s Makki and Mattsun?”

“I told them we’d meet them at the outside cafe around the corner, I don’t think anyone is going to let them come inside with their child sized toys.” Hajime said, fondly remembering the two walking down the street together and beating each other up with their Pokemon.

“I mean, probably not… I suppose I should forgive you for being mean to Gengar… after all… You are taking very good care of your new child.” Tooru said, glancing back and snickering again. This time his eyes did catch on Hajime’s arms being held behind his back. “What are you hiding Iwa-chan?”

“Oh nothing… Just a gift for someone.” The effect was instantaneous, Tooru lit up like a christmas tree, bouncing on his heels.

“Is it for me?”

“Who knows?” Hajime hummed, turning so Tooru couldn’t peer around and look. Tooru huffed, eyes narrowed and he jumped forward trying to move faster than Hajime and look behind his hands.

“You know! You bully! Let me see my gift.”

“Who says it’s for you? Maybe it’s for Kindaichi. His birthday is coming up.”

“You already bought him a new set of volleyball shoes and tickets for all you can eat Barbecue.” Tooru said, and Hajime paused mouth hanging open slightly.

“How’d you know?”

“Because I know you Iwa-chan, I know everything about you.” Tooru said proudly, head held up haughtily. He smirked down at Hajime who rolled his eyes. He didn’t know everything, but he would in a minute.

Suddenly, doubt formed in Hajime’s stomach. Sure, Tooru wouldn’t throw him to the side and never talk to him again but they were going to different colleges and maybe Tooru didn’t feel the same. Or didn’t feel like putting his career in danger just to…

“Here.” Hajime said before the anxiety could build too much. He held out the silver Pokemon and watched Tooru nearly drop the ice cream.

“Holy shit… Iwaizumi Hajime, do you even know what you’re giving me? Shiny Eevee is a limited edition… She’s so expensive, like… Holy shit Iwa-chan.” Tooru’s eyes were alight, wide and gentle like he was afraid he would blink and it would all be a dream. Then they moved to meet Hajime’s and Hajime couldn’t help but think of how beautiful they were. How beautiful Tooru was always. With his dumb antics and dumb hair and pretty face and his brain that somehow managed to outsmart everyone and yet insisted on aliens. Hajime loved it.

“I know, Hanamaki nearly cried when he saw me go to the register. I think my wallet really did cry.”

“Then why-”

“Because it’s you.” He held out the Pokemon again, taking the cones from Tooru as he gathered up the large plush. “Eevee can evolve into almost any type right? Well, you can be anything you want, anything in the world. You’re special and you deserve a Pokemon as special as you are.”

“Hajime.” Tooru murmured and Hajime’s heart skipped a beat. He angrily told it to shut up, they hadn’t even confessed yet. “Oh she has a collar, did you buy her a special collar Iwa-chan?” He tilted his head as he moved to look at the metal piece.

I love you.

Tooru’s mouth fell open and he gaped at it for a second and Hajime had a flash of pride for finally managing to surprise his captain. He glanced up at Hajime and then back at the Pokemon and Hajime’s heart stuttered at the idea that he would refuse it, or worse, laugh it off.

“I love you.” Hajime said, wishing he wasn’t holding ice-cream so he could hide behind his hands, or even behind the Gengar at this point. “I mean, who doesn’t. But really… I… I know you get a lot of confessions and I didn’t mean to confess today, I meant to do the button thing but then I was thinking about Matsukawa telling Hanamaki to marry him because of the dinosaur-”

“Wait Mattsun said what?” Tooru interrupted, confusion clouding his features and Hajime waved him off.

“I’ll explain in a minute, anyways I realized you’re going to get a lot of confessions as soon as we graduate or even in college and you’re going to fall in love with someone unless you’re dating someone. And I can’t really compete with Daichi-”

“I can’t believe you still think I’m trying to date Daichi that was clearly a ruse to piss off Tobio-chan.”

“Wait what-”

“Duh, I told him I was going to be his new dad and he was going to have to call me Kindaichi and Kunimi big brother, I thought he was going to have a heart attack.”

“Stop bullying him Tooru- Ugh I am trying to confess here! This is terrifying.”

“Sorry, sorry, keep going Hajime. I’ll say yes when you’re done.” Tooru said, settling on his heels, head nestled on the top of the Eevee.

“Thank you- Wait.” He glared at him, watching his best friends lips twitch up despite him doing his best not to smile. “I hate you, I take it back, I take it all back, die alone.” He spun and immediately arms wrapped around his waist and a head was burrowing into his shoulder.

“No~ Keep going Iwa-chan, it’s so sweet and you’re so sweet and cute.” Hajime glared and kept walking, ignoring Tooru’s complaints and attempts to hold him back. He managed to break free after a second, turning the corner and handing the two ice creams to Hanamaki and Matsukawa. Tooru came around a second later, pouting and eyes creased in the way that told Hajime he thought he really messed up.

Hajime sighed and rolled his eyes, this was the man he fell in love with ages ago. He reached up and squished his cheeks and kissed him lightly.

“I’m completely in love with you.” Hajime said, and turned, plopping into the seat and grabbing the ice-creams back from the two stricken volleyball players. He heard the squeal before Tooru was slipping into the chair next to him and pressing up as close as he could, kissing his cheek.

“I love you too Hajime, and I’m going to date you forever so you better be prepared.” He declared and stole a cone before Hajime could lick it, smiling at Matsukawa and Hanamaki’s looks. “So what’s this about marriage you two?”

Hajime rolled his eyes, watching his best friends flush and stutter out excuses. He lifted an arm and wrapped it around Tooru, feeling him lean into his side like he was meant to be there. He smiled softly and pressed his lips into Tooru’s hair to hide it. All this because of a stupid purple monster.

Two

Working in the library really wasn’t how Hajime intended to spend his afternoons after school. Sure, it was fun being able to help the librarian and the students find materials and he loved being surrounded by books. However, it also meant he had to deal with every single idiot who spilt beer, marijuana, and other unspeakable liquids in his books. He didn’t think he could ever be a librarian, which was good because he was studying Aerospace engineering, but the librarian in charge loved him after he threatened a senior who returned a beer covered textbook and they came back the next day with a brand new copy for a ‘donation’.

He closed his own textbook as a girl came towards the desk, a handful of books clutched in her hands. She flushed terribly when he held his hands out to take them and he couldn’t help but be reminded of all the times girls would try to confess to Tooru in school only to squeak and run away. Of course, he’d gotten his own admirers but most of them had been fellow athletes and had quickly realized neither of them had time if they wanted to be the best at their sport.

“H-Hi.” She seemed so small that Hajime flashed back to the manager of Karasuno and wondered if she had gotten lost. Except she had been blonde hadn’t she? She must have been, Matsukawa had teased Yahaba about having a thing for blondes.

“Hi, checking them out?”

“What- no- I mean yes, checking the books out.” She said when he held up the books curiously at her denial. “I… I’m studying Psychology and I have a report due.”

“Oh? Huh, about what?”

“About how society affects how psychologists report their findings.” She said, relaxing as they got to a topic she was more comfortable on. Now that they were talking, she seemed really familiar and he wracked his brain for her name.

“You might want to grab this book too then, it covers a lot of different values at the same time as Freud started his psychoanalyzing.” He said, grabbing a book from the returned pile. “He might have been a bit of a cocaine addict, but his work did change how psychology was used.”

She paused and glanced at him as she flipped the book over. “You know a bit about psychology?”

“One of my best friends wanted to be a Psychologist for a while, before he realized that meant dealing with people and decided to become a baker instead.”

“Those are completely different things.” She laughed, grinning at him and it hit him where he knew her.

“Did you go to Johzenji?” He asked and her face blossomed pink again.

“How did you…”

“You were the manager right?”

“Yeah, Hana Misaki… I know Terushima caused a lot of trouble for you but-” He waved it off.

“Is that why you were nervous? I won’t blame you for Terushima if you don’t blame me for Oikawa getting into a fight with him.” He snorted, pressing down a grin when she groaned at the memory. Terushima had decided to flirt with Oikawa’s so called protege and Yahaba had flirted back, causing Oikawa to go into unnecessary protective mode. He called it ‘Doing his job as a Captain’ the team called it ‘Mom mode’.

“Honestly I think Terushima did it just to fight with Oikawa, I am so sorry about that-”

“Really, really, it’s fine, I think Oikawa enjoyed being able to fight him too, normally Yahaba throws the first punch so Oikawa doesn’t get half a chance.”

“Yahaba always tries to fight people bigger than him and I have to protect him!” Tooru’s voice was half shrill, lips twisted in a pout as Hajime turned to look at the volleyball player. He was always a bit wild when people called him out on his overprotective behavior. “I remember you punching that junior last week for flirting with Kunimi.”

“I remember you shutting the fuck up.” Hajime flushed, angrily scanning the books out and handing them to Hana as she laughed softly. Tooru’s gaze landed on her and twisted from jealous to curious in a few seconds, before she could even notice.

“Hana Misaki? From Johzenji?” He asked, smiling his normal fake smile when she nodded, eyes wide with surprise. Her fingers tugged at the books nervously as if she could sense the possessive feelings roiling under the surface of Tooru’s mask.

“Yes, hello Oikawa.” She tried to give him a smile, glancing at Hajime as he groaned and leaned over the counter to punch Tooru’s shoulder gently.

“We were talking about Psychology, she has a report due.”

“Oh! You mean like Makki was doing?” Tooru brightened immediately, an almost real smile on his lips.

“Exactly, asshole. So quit being a jealous turd.”

“I am not a jealous turd, that would involve anyone being able to take you away from me. And I’m adorable.”

“Yes. You are.” Hajime said simply, a growing smirk on his face as Tooru immediately turned red and started to bluster and turned away, stomping away to a table. He laughed and turned to Hana. “Works every time.”

“Clearly. So you two finally got together?”

“If I had a hundred yen for every time someone said that to me,” He shook his head, eyes settling on Tooru and softening immensely as the volleyball player pulled out his books and notes. Tooru glanced over and stuck out his tongue, childish despite his accomplishments and Hajime knew he’d do anything to keep him that way. To keep him away from the way the world weakened and darkened the souls in it, he’d do anything.

“Yeah, we’re together.” He finally finished, glancing up at Hana’s knowing look and trying not to get embarrassed.

“I’m glad… and a little jealous… Ah you probably don’t want to hear it.”

“Go ahead, I’m curious. Besides, no one else is here and my replacement doesn’t come in for another thirty minutes.”

“Well.. I mean… Just the way he looks at you, he’s looked at you for as long as I can remember seeing you on court. It’s like… you’re his rock and you look at him like he’s your sky. I’ve never had anyone look at me like that… It’s dumb because I mean, I’m only a first year in college, I haven’t even lived that long. But… You two… It’s like someone took a soul and split you in two. You’re your own people, but you fit together perfectly and it’s… just… nice to know that couples like you exist. Meanwhile I’m going to die alone because Terushima has scared off every woman this side of Japan.” Her voice flattened at the end, and she looked tired but also mildly amused as she thought back to her Kohai. Hajime laughed and shook his head.

“Not every woman, uh…” He dug around for a pen and paper, scribbling a number down. “Kiyoko Shimizu, give her a text. Tell her I gave you her number and she’ll introduce you to a few others. There’s a group of us who go out to the bars on the weekend and crash together at my place afterwards, if nothing else you can get a crap ton of free drinks out of it.”

She took it hesitantly and glanced at Tooru who was scribbling at something angrily and broke his pencil, staring at it like it betrayed him.

“He lets you bring a bunch of girls over?”

“It’s amazing how nice he is once he hears the word lesbian.” Hajime pressed his lips together to stop a laugh from escaping. “Ask Kiyoko, she’s put him in his place a few times. She could probably get even Ushijima to bow to her power, she’s terrifying.”

“Sounds like my kind of woman.” She tucked the paper carefully into her book. “I think that’s your replacement, you have a good day Iwaizumi… and if you ever want to talk Psychology I definitely could use the study help.” She waved the books at him and headed out, passing Moniwa as he skipped in and hurried behind the counter.

“Thanks for covering the first part of my shift Iwaizumi, I thought Futakuchi was going to eat Kogane if I didn’t intervene.” He shook his head tiredly and held open the gate that led to the main part of the library. “Go on, I think Oikawa thinks I’m going to seduce you into giving away Seijoh secrets.”

Hajime rolled his eyes, knowing the thought had probably crossed Oikawa’s mind and grabbed his books. He snuck his way around the library, careful not so alert his boyfriend as he laid his books down on the edge of the table. Oikawa was engrossed in a physics book and didn’t even notice until Hajime was sliding his arms around his neck and hugging him from behind.

“You’re a dumbass.” Hajime muttered in his ear, pressing a soft kiss to Oikawa’s forehead. “You were totally jealous.”

“You are gorgeous, of course I’m jealous when a pretty girl comes up to you.” He huffed, looking away but Hajime could see his lips twitching up as Hajime glided soft kisses down his neck. “Stop it, I’m mad at you.”

“No you’re not.” Hajime laughed, quiet and rough, the way he knew made Oikawa shiver and glow with pride knowing he was the only one who got to hear it like that. Oikawa hummed for a second then leaned back until his head was resting on Hajime’s chest and he could smile at him. A real smile, the kind that made Hajime’s heart skip a beat and his brain work ten thousand miles a minute thinking about their futures together.

“No, I’m not. How could I be? You’re perfect, and you quite literally asked me out… doesn’t mean I don’t worry.” He admitted softly and Hajime kissed him. A gentle, loving brush of lips as he reached over and pulled the other chair closer and sat in it. Hajime took Tooru’s hands and tangled their fingers together, pressing a kiss to each knuckle.

“Oikawa Tooru.” He said softly, looking up at him. He thought about what Hana said, about looking at Tooru like he was the sky and he tried to channel that. It wasn’t hard, Tooru was his best friend, his partner, his love and every glance felt like falling in love all over again.

“Y-yes?” Tooru’s cheeks glowed red and Hajime loved it, loved being the one to put that there. Loved that he could take Tooru from his snow-white skin to a cherry tomato and tease him and Tooru would never move from his arms.

“I love you.” He said simply, watching Tooru groan and lean over to hide his face in Hajime’s shoulder.

“You’re embarrassing! So embarrassing!” Tooru insisted, squeezing Hajime’s hands and sighing softly. Hajime just shrugged, letting Tooru hide in his shoulder and humming softly.

“I love you still.” He said, lips twitching when Tooru whined again.

“I love you too Iwa-chan… even if you are a butt head.”

“Sure, darling,” Hajime felt Tooru shudder and knew he was red again at the nickname. “Let’s study huh? And I’ll make dinner tonight.”

“You spoil me… I’m going to get you back for it, just you wait, I’m going to say I love you first one day and you’re going to be so embarrassed and I’m going to laugh.” Tooru declared, but sat up, keeping on hand in Hajime’s and pushing his books over, settling against him.

Three

Tooru was tired, bone achingly tired. Everything hurt. His head, his feet, gods his knee felt like it would be worthwhile to chew off, and worst of all his ass hurt. Stupid Kuroo and stupid Bokuto knocking him down, they never checked to make sure there wasn’t anything they were knocking someone on. Thank the heavens Aran was there to pull them off, Oikawa was sure he was going to die under their combined weight.

Now he was home and didn’t want to do anything ever again. Ever.

He glanced around, pouting when he saw that Hajime wasn’t home yet. He was probably still at the library, getting in extra hours to cover his half of the rent and still be able to afford unnecessary amounts of Godzilla merchandise. Or as Hajime said “Totally necessary Godzilla merchandise.”

The apartment was homey, comfortable with a nice couch in front of a tv with a table that was more footrest than anything at this point. The shelves around the walls were decorated in pictures of the old team and random merchandise, from Final Fantasy Chocobo statuettes to Hajime’s failed attempt at felting a godzilla that Tooru absolutely refused to let him throw away. It was rather clean, considering both of the boys had a habit of dropping everything on the couch and then losing all of their stuff twenty seconds later when they needed it. There was a small desk off to the side, covered in papers from Hajime’s engineering designs and whatever doodle Tooru decided would annoy him the most. (Despite lacking all artistic ability, given a pencil and a ruler Hajime could actually draw decently, as long as it was only technical designs of course.)

Tooru’s own desk was in his room, and was drowning in textbooks and scattered notes and a single volleyball that he had been using as a pillow the last few nights. Hajime’s room was empty except for a bed that was always made in case of a fight, or more commonly, one of them had to pull an all nighter and didn’t want to keep the other up. Not that it stopped Tooru from just wandering in at four am and laying on his boyfriend for an hour until he had to get up. Sometimes it was just nice to be held for an hour, atleast Tooru thought so.

Tooru looked blankly into the kitchen from the couch and thought he’d rather sleep for the next century before he cooked dinner. He let his volleyball bag fall to the floor, barely making his bookbag land on the couch before he turned and stumbled into his room. The floor was still covered from the pillow fight that Hajime had started that morning and Tooru decided that was good enough.

He collapsed onto the pile of pillows, grumpily kicking at the blankets as they caught on his shoes. He barely managed to make it cover his shoulders before he was passed out, snoring happily onto the pillow nest.

When Tooru woke, he was tucked carefully into his bed and his shoes and clothes had been removed. It took him a moment to realize what was wrong and he gently patted his chest and legs, sighing in relief when he found his boxers still on. It wouldn’t be the first time he stripped naked in his sleep and his clothes always seemed to find themselves in the strangest places, like the microwave. Thankfully, if he was still wearing boxers that meant that Hajime had moved him.

He sat up.

Hajime.

He scrambled out of bed, cursing as pain shot up his knee, it was aching again. He glared down at it and swore that as soon as cybornetics were available he was replacing the thing. It wasn’t as bad as earlier and he could walk on it without major pain, but the residual ache was getting annoying.

Tooru took a breath trying not to be annoyed as he leaned against the doorway opening the door and breathing in the rich scent of food. His mouth watered almost immediately and he groaned, stumbling his way into the kitchen.

Hajime was standing there, stirring slowly and reading a book in the other hand. He glanced over and smiled and Tooru felt like melting into a puddle at his gorgeous boyfriend. His brown eyes were shining with amusement as Hajime looked over at him and put the book on the counter, covering the pan with a lid and making his way over. Tooru leaned into his strong hold as soon he was able too, winding his arms around him.

“It’s my turn to cook dinner.” Tooru sighed, nuzzling his neck and breathing in the smell of sandalwood that came from Hajime’s skin. He loved how he smelled, it was so unfair. Tooru had to spend his days around sweaty nasty people (like Bokuto no matter what Akaashi said, Bokuto needed a shower before hugging anyone) and Hajime smelled like a fancy shop.

“You were tired.” Hajime said, fingers gently stroking through Tooru’s hair and Tooru could imagine if he was a cat he’d be purring up a storm right now. Still, he pulled his head back and frowned at his boyfriend. He couldn’t help the guilt that welled up in his stomach and he swallowed anxiously.

“You’ve made dinner three nights in a row… Seriously, you could have woken me up Haj. I’m sorry, I’ll make dinner tomorrow,” Tooru insisted, grumping when Hajime shook his head.

“Tooru, you nearly cried when I picked you up off the floor. You’re tired and you’ve been pushing yourself extra hard these past couple of weeks. I can let you rest a bit more while the season’s going. Now when final’s come and they give you time off, then you can make it up to me.” Hajime teased him and Tooru kissed his nose, smiling at the sprinkle of pink that spread over his cheeks. Hajime’s lips were spreading into a small smile, tiny and unintended and in Tooru’s opinion, the best smile he was capable of. It was one that Hajime never meant to give but it meant he was so happy and relaxed that it slipped out and Tooru would literally do anything to see it every day.

“Pinky promise?” Tooru hummed and Hajime laughed, kissing him and murmured against his lips.

“Pinky promise.” He finally let go of Tooru, just long enough to lower the heat on the pan and stir it a little. Then he turned and gave Tooru a look that made him a little weak. The curve of a smirk on his lips, eyebrow raised, and a dangerous glint in his eyes that made Tooru sure Hajime knew exactly what he did to him.

“I can think of something that you can do to make it up to me right now though,” Hajime purred and Tooru was about to complain about atleast getting a pillow for his knees when Hajime turned and pressed a button on his phone. Soft music echoed from the phone and Tooru let out a peal of laughter, rolling his eyes.

“What?” Hajime asked, arms crossed. Tooru just shook his head, leaning against the door frame as the laughter shook him. Hajime huffed and glared at him until Tooru held out his hands and made a grabbing motion with them.

“You’re just… gods… you’re just amazing.” Tooru laughed, wrapping his arms around Hajime’s neck and leaning in to press their foreheads together.

“That’s why you’re laughing at me? Because I’m so amazing.” Hajime deadpanned, sliding his own arms around Tooru’s waist.

“Because I get to step on your feet.” Tooru said, teasingly tapping his feet with his own and Hajime snorted, pulling him closer and tilting his head up to kiss him sweetly. Tooru didn’t bother to pull away, kissing back as Hajime swayed them to the music.

“Tooru, you’re the world’s biggest dumbass.” Hajime murmured against his lips, smiling when Tooru squawked in fake offence. “And you’re the love of my life.”

“Ugh.” Tooru groaned, burying his face in his shoulder as Hajime laughed. As many times as he’d been able to embarrass his boyfriend and turn him shy, he would never be bored of it.

“I love you. I love you…. I love you.” Hajime said, spinning them slowly and listening to the ever growing groan. He pecked his cheek and said it again, moving to take his hands and kiss them too, repeating himself as Tooru whined and kissed him to shut him up.

“Stop it, you’re a bully… I love you too.” Tooru said after a minute, pouting cutely and Hajime couldn’t help himself.

“I love you.” He whispered, looking him in the eye and Tooru rolled his eyes, a smile on his lips.

“One of these days, I swear. I’m going to make you a mess, just like you do me.”

“You make me a mess every time you smile. It’s like the world disappears.”

“Who is giving you lessons!” Tooru blurted, whining and collapsing into his chest as Hajime laughed and rubbed his back. “You are too smooth, you’re going to get so smooth you break up with me and marry someone just as smooth… like… like Akaashi! Or Suga-chan! Or or…” He frowned then looked at him, eyes wide.

“You’re going to fall in love with Kai-chan and Kuroo is never going to let me live it down. And I can’t even be made because he’s adorable and sweet and I love Kenma-chan so much?” Tooru gasped, and Hajime wondered if Tooru was purposely being a shit or if he genuinely was concerned that Hajime was going to run off with Nobuyuki Kai. Then he decided he didn’t care.

“Tooru, do you love me?”

“What? Of course I do. Completely in love with you.”

“And you know I love you right.”

“Well yes, right now-”

“Tooru.”

“Yes you love me.”

“You remember what you said when I confessed? I’m going to date you forever. I agreed. I’m not going anywhere idiot. I’m going to love you forever and you’re going to be sick of me by the time we get to the afterlife you’re going to beg me to marry Matsukawa so you can hang out with Hanamaki.” Hajime said seriously, lips twitching when he saw Tooru trying not to laugh at him. Tooru shook his head, then sighed and smiled, leaning in and kissing him long and deep.

“How is it that even when you’re saying something ridiculous like that, you’re still able to make me fall even more in love with you.”

“Duh, I’m your partner. We’re meant to be, like the stars in the sky, fish and water, Daichi and horrible teammates, snow and antarctica.”

“Oh I’m so telling Daichi you said that- Wait does that include me?” He gasped, offended and Hajime kissed his cheek, letting go and moving to the stove to stir the pan. “Oh nice try, get back over here and finish my dance and tell me the truth.”

Hajime just laughed, blowing him a kiss and focusing on the meal.

Four

Hajime considered himself lucky, most of the time. He had a great boyfriend, amazing friends, a nice apartment, a decent job, and he was well on his way to graduating at the school of his choice. Then, Tooru got ahold of alcohol.

Tooru wasn’t the worst alcoholic. He was just… worse.

Tooru had three moods when handling alcohol. Clingy mother, slutty, and marrying Hanamaki. Out of the three, the clingy mother mode was probably the most dangerous. If he didn’t have someone to pay attention to, he would often have to be wrestled from his phone before he called up whoever his thumb hit first and started asking about their dinner.

It wasn’t too bad the few times he’d dialed Bokuto or Ushijima, both who were willing to humor him and discuss a proper meal. Kuroo on the other hand got so much enjoyment out of the panic that Tooru caused when he thought he was without dinner that even Kenma and Yaku had to get involved.

Slutty was just Tooru’s normal mood, ramped up. Hajime really didn’t mind that one, especially when half the time Tooru passed out before anything happened and Hajime could seduce him into going home before they reached the clingy mother mode. Or, if someone else was the designated driver, he got to have fun with his boyfriend.

Marrying Hanamaki was probably the most troublesome. Of course, if you asked Tooru, he’d remind Hajime that he was notorious for drunkenly buying plants and crying through a divorce statement when Tooru took away his credit card. If you asked Hajime, he’d tell Tooru to shut up about that.

Hanamaki and Matsukawa were great friends, and they only harassed Tooru a little bit after any drunken misadventures. However, during the misadventures they were almost as bad as he was and it was in their nature to harass and bully Hajime at any moment. They claimed that it was their duty to protect Tooru as their captain, but Hajime just knew they got off on watching him suffer.

Tooru, on the other hand, absolutely adored his friends and despite the constant bullying of his boyfriend and teammates Tooru considered Hanamaki and Matsukawa to be the best people on earth and refused to bully them. Hanamaki and Matsukawa were well aware of this and abused it.

“Babe, we should get a cat.” Tooru stated one night when they had all gone out to drink, staring at the empty shot glass in his hand.

“I don’t want a cat,” Matsukawa grumbled before Hanamaki laughed and ruffled his hair.

“His other babe, the one he goes home too.” Hanamaki teased Hajime, who just stared him down as he drained the beer in his hands. Hanamaki blinked in surprise before giggling and leaning against his boyfriend.

“Tooru, why do you want a cat?” Hajime finally sighed, waving down the bartender for another beer. Tooru hummed and flopped onto Hanamaki’s shoulder, pouting at Hajime.

“Because. Cats.”

“That’s not an answer.” Hajime frowned at the beer, the fuzz in his head making it a little hard to think. He was pretty sure it wasn’t an answer, he wasn’t completely certain but if he let Tooru know it then he would lose the argument. Which argument that was, he’d already forgotten.

“But babe, I can name her princess and-”

“Who said we’re going to get a girl?” Hajime interjected and Tooru gave him such a look of disbelief Hajime was almost sure he’d sworn or said something insulting.

“The only dicks I’m touching are my own and yours, not a cat’s.” Tooru said dryly, blinking in surprise when Hanamaki and Matsukawa both jerked with laughter, Matsukawa spilling alcohol on his lap. “Iwa-chan why are they laughing?”

“... Dicks.” Hajime said simply, leaning backwards unsteadily as Tooru’s hand smacked at his face.

“Don’t be mean to them, they’re your friends.” He complained and Hajime batted his hand away.

“You said a dick joke! You’re such a brat.”

“I did? Huh…” He pouted at Hajime, reaching over to tug petulantly at his shirt. Gods, he was cute. He was so absolutely adorable and Hajime didn’t know how he’d gotten the cutest damn boy in the world. He couldn’t help it, leaning over and sloppily kissing his forehead.

Tooru turned a brilliantly beautiful shade of pink and giggled, tugging Hajime’s shirt and trying to turn away when Hajime tried to kiss him again.

“No~ I’m trying to make a point Hajime!”

“You’re beautiful.” It slipped out before Hajime could quiet himself and he could hear his friends mocking him to each other. Then Tooru’s eyes met his and he decided he didn’t care. “You’re the most beautiful person in the universe.”

“H-a-j-i-m-e.” Tooru complained, shaking his head. Then he paused and leaned in to kiss him lightly. “You’re distracting me, besides… you’re absolutely stunning… I’m lucky you decided to love me.”

“No I’m-”

“Okay, you two, I love you both but don’t start that again.” Matsukawa interrupted, arm reaching around Hanamaki to gently push Hajime’s face away from Tooru’s. Tooru scowled immediately, crossing his arms and turning to glare at Matsukawa. “Cats, Tooru?”

“Oh! Iwa-chan! We should get a cat! I can name her Princess and hold her and love her and brush her and feed her… and her name will be Princess because she’ll be perfect like me… and a Princess… like me!” Tooru said, obviously proud of himself for that string of thought before he was grabbing Hanamaki’s drink for himself. Hanamaki didn’t mind, only occasionally sipping at Matsukawa’s drink.

Hajime sighed and shook his head, taking a drink of his beer and vaguely wondered why he hadn’t gotten wine like Matsukawa. Then he caught Tooru greedily drinking Hanamaki’s sweet liquor and remembered that Tooru was addicted to any sweet alcohol.

“Tooru, we can’t get a cat.” He finally said when Tooru started to wiggle unhappily in his stool.

“What? Why not? We’re adults, we don’t have to ask my mom.”

“We don’t have anything for a cat, you don’t even know how to clean a litter box.” Hajime said logically, but he knew he was fighting a losing battle when Tooru steeled his gaze.

“I can learn anything I need to, and I can be a perfect owner.” He insisted and Hajime sighed, not particularly against a cat but deciding to get an animal while drunk was a terrible decision.

“You can ask Kindaichi!” Hanamaki said and both Matsukawa and Hajime shouted as they heard the name. It was too late. Tooru perked up immediately, his foggy gaze the clearest it had been since they started drinking. Mother mode activated.

“Kindaichi? I haven’t talked to him in so long, I wonder if he’s doing alright. He was really worried about that history final and of course trying to be a captain, and he’s so cute when he’s all huffy and worried about Kunimi- Haj, Hajime, where’s my phone? Baby, where’s my phone I want to call Kindaichi.” Tooru asked, reaching over to check Hajime’s pockets. Hanamaki grabbed the phone that was on the bar and started to offer it to Tooru before Matsukawa snatched it and shoved it in his pocket before Tooru turned around.

“Oh!” He turned and without even blinking at the rudeness of the action, stuck his hand into Hanamaki’s pocket and pulled out the pink haired man’s phone. “Thanks Makki! I bet Kindaichi really misses us, he always worries too much… He needs a hug, Iwa-chan, you should hug him more… We should all hug him more, and then we can hug Kyoken-chan. Yaha-chan says he doesn’t bite people when they hug him anymore, oh and Shi-chan says he got a new boyfriend and I have to make sure he’s being treated right.”

Hajime leaned to the right and caught Matsukawa’s gaze, mouthing “Shi-chan?” Matsukawa just shrugged. There were three people that could be, and knowing Tooru he could mean all of them.

Hajime licked his lips, watching Tooru chatter as he tapped away at Hanamaki’s phone. He needed to intervene before Tooru started randomly harassing their kohai and terrifying them, but without upsetting Tooru who was emotionally unstable when drunk. He might have been the most badass person Hajime knew while sober, but after a few drinks that went out the window faster than a demon out of hell.

Hajime blinked when Tooru flipped the phone upside down and then turned to quietly lay it on the bar. The three of them watched him curiously as he stared at the device and said seriously.

“I have no idea how Makki’s phone works.” He pressed his lips together looking pouty before his lip quivered. Tooru blinked rapidly, turning to look at Hajime as tears built up on his eyes and panic built in his chest. “Did I lose my phone because Kindaichi doesn’t want to talk to me?”

Hajime had no idea where he got that, but was mentally banning Tooru from anymore of Hanamaki’s drinks. He reached out and took his hand, patting them as his drunken brain tried its best to kickstart itself into thought. Matsukawa, more sober than all of them, had the absolute worst thought as he grabbed Hanamaki’s phone.

“Tooru! Iwaizumi will get you a cat.” The curly haired accountant blurted and Tooru gasped excitedly, his mind too intoxicated to focus on more than one thought at a time.

“I am not getting him a cat, Mattsun, I’m drunk.” Hajime blurted and Tooru’s face crumpled as Hajime realized Matsukawa was trying to help.

“Fine, then I will buy you a cat!” Hanamaki blurted, wrapping both arms around Tooru. The other two looked at Hanamaki in growing apprehension, Hajime mentaly swore he was never going to drink with these two again, as Tooru hugged Hanamaki back and nuzzled his shoulder like he was a cat himself.

“Iwa-Chan, I’m breaking up with you. Me and Makki are going to get married because you’re a butt head.” Tooru declared and Hanamaki blinked numbly before shrugging. Hajime cursed quietly, marrying Hanamaki mode active.

“Can we bring Mattsun too?”

“Yes! We and Mattsun, Iwa-Chan, me and Mattsun and Makki are getting married… You’re not invited! Because… Because…” The words tangled on his tongue and Hajime sighed.

“Because I’m a butthead?”

“Yes!” Tooru reached over and patted his cheek and Hajime glared at Matsukawa who shrugged at the turn of events. “We are… broken up! I love Makki now and forevs… and Mattsun too, I guess.”

Mattsun twisted slightly in his seat at that and wrapped his large arms around both of them, head resting on Hanamaki’s shoulder. Hanamaki giggled and kissed him, only to break away and let out a snort laugh as Tooru planted a kiss on his cheek. Tooru brightened at the laugh and did it again, starting to giggle with him.

Hajime glared harder at Matsukawa who just stuck out his tongue and slid off the stool, holding a hand out to the other two. He gave a flourished bow and both of them dissolved into laughter, teasingly patting his hand and pretending to take it.

“Well now, my darlings, the time has come to head home, may I lead you to the car?” Matsukawa asked and Hajime had to give him props for managing to capture both of their attention at the same time.

Hanamaki nearly fell from his stool as he stood and tried to take Matsukawa’s hand. Matsukawa just stepped forward and held him steady, pressing a kiss to his forehead. Tooru gasped and pointed.

“Hajime, did you steal Matsukawa’s move and use it on me?” Hajime debated informing him that he and Tooru had gotten together first so any moves Matsukawa was using, he had learned from them. Unfortunately, Tooru had already decided he was heart broken and turned away, stumbling off his seat and Matsukawa was quick to catch him before he tripped. Both of them were leaning against Matsukawa’s chest, trying not to sway and even he was starting to be affected by the weight of both of them.

That didn’t stop him from teasingly stick his tongue out at Hajime as he gently guided both of them around to head toward the door. Hajime knew from experience if he didn’t stop them, not only would he have to pick Tooru up from their apartment but also that Tooru would be upset that Hajime didn’t have his back while he was inebriated. Hajime had long since given up the battle of explaining that Tooru was just as safe with those two as he was with Hajime himself. Tooru just got grumpy anytime he didn’t wake up in Hajime’s arms, which was flattering, but annoying when Hajime was too sober to not just follow Matsukawa and crash with them. Not even mentioning that Hajime was already lonely with Tooru gone, he wanted his best friend back to lay on in bed.

So now he had to find a way to get his boyfriend back. Then it hit him, the perfect way to get Tooru back.

“Tooru!” He called, throwing a few bills on the counter and moving after them. He stopped as they exited the doors, Tooru turning to him curiously as he tried to get his phone back from Hanamaki. Matsukawa looked just as curious, if a bit smug that he hadn’t managed to lose his boyfriend to his buddy. Hajime was going to kick him.

“I love you, Princess.” He said, holding his arms open. The effect was almost immediate. Tooru let go of Hanamaki and jumped into Hajime’s arms, giggling when Hajime stumbled slightly before holding him, happily kissing him. His lips tasted like liquor and cherries and he kissed back.

“I love you too Iwa-Chan! Forever and ever and ever and ever.” Tooru declared, letting himself be lowered to the earth and hugging him tightly, happily cocooning his boyfriend. Hajime snorted and stroked his hair, rough fingers sliding through the soft brown curls.

“Thought you loved Hanamaki forevs.” He teased, sticking his tongue out at Matsukawa when the accountant flipped him off. Tooru hummed and nodded but tightened his hold on Hajime.

“I do~ but Hajime is my heart! And my boyfriend and my bestest friend and…” He paused as if considering something before he kissed Hajime again. “And I’ll always be Hajime’s.”

Hajime’s heart melted immediately and he kissed back, waving off Matsukawa’s taxi. They only lived around the corner, and Hajime didn’t mind a little bit longer trip home if he could hold Tooru a while longer.

“Hey Tooru?” He asked when they were close to home and Tooru was cuddled up against his side, half asleep as they waited for the final street sign to turn green. Tooru hummed and blinked blearily up at him.

“If we get all the supplies, we can get a cat.”

“And name her Princess?”

“And name her Princess.” Hajime agreed, leading them home.

And One Aain

Tooru loved to surprise Hajime, but more than anything he enjoyed beating Hajime at his own game. Especially the one Hajime had been playing since he confessed. The one where Hajime did everything in his power to trick Tooru into thinking he was going to be an ass, and then said he loved him and destroyed Tooru’s ability to do anything but think about his stupid boyfriend. Or said he loved him first just so he could point and laugh about his bright red cheeks and Tooru was going destroy him now.

There was only one thing Tooru had left in his arsenal after years of dating, well, okay. There were two, but Hajime probably wouldn’t be able to get off the ground laughing if he caught Tooru in tutu again and Tooru still had flashbacks to getting stuck in the damn thing even after nearly twenty years after the incident. So he had one thing left to do, one thing he knew he had to do before Hajime got the jump on him and made him cry.

He planned it for the one event he knew Hajime definitely wouldn’t think about doing anything else, a celebration for the acceptance of Hajime’s designs and employment at the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Hajime had tried for years to finally get this and Tooru couldn’t be more proud of him. They’d put nearly everything else on hold, even moving halfway across the country (and Tooru had the worst four hour commute to his team) so Hajime could apply for an internship and gain the experience he needed to come back to Tokyo and get his dream job. Tooru almost teased him about being more excited to get into space than he was, but decided it could wait a few more days.

Tooru and Hajime were both dressed up nicely. Hajime was in a soft navy blue tuxedo with a small purple lily tucked in his breast pocket and Tooru wound his arm around his waist. Without even thinking about it, he leaned down and nuzzled his cheek until he could whisper in his ear.

“Do you think Nishimoto would notice if I ate all the oysters before he could get to them?” He murmured, a proud smile growing as Hajime pressed his lips firmly together to quiet the laughter building in his chest.

“You’re horrible.” Hajime murmured back, but Tooru could see the light in his eyes. They were bright under the stars, almost glowing amber and Tooru pressed a sloppily dramatic kiss to his cheek. Immediately the gorgeous eyes were narrowed with false annoyance and Tooru yelped as Hajime’s hand dug under his suit jacket and grabbed his boxers, yanking them up into a wedgie.

“Iwa-Chan!” He howled, shoving his boyfriend forward and hiding behind him as he fixed his pants. He kneed Hajime’s ass, glaring at the tongue sticking out at him and focused on fixing his mint green jacket.

“What, idiotkawa?” He purred innocently and Tooru rolled his eyes, kicking out at him again until Hajime grabbed his arm and yanked him too close to kick. He reached out and snagged something before his hands were in Tooru’s hair.

“What? Iwa-chan! No, don’t put bugs in my hai-”

“Tooru,” Hajime said, his voice the silky loving way that made Tooru’s knees weak and his stubbornness melt away. “It’s not a bug, you wouldn’t let me buy you a flower on the way in.”

He held up his phone, snapping a photo before Tooru could school his features into a less sappy look. Then he turned the phone around, showing Tooru the soft white petals of a gardenia that now were tucked carefully into Tooru’s brown locks. Hajime pulled the phone back before Tooru could snatch it and delete the compromising evidence of his own weak heart, and promptly saved it as his background erasing the previous picture of Princess splayed out on her back on their pillow.

Tooru almost cooed at how sweet his boyfriend was, but he was on a mission. He wrapped an arm around his waist and tugged him forward, pulling him towards the food table. Hajime went willingly, rolling his eyes at Tooru’s eyes narrowing on the food like a dog’s.

A flash of silver hair made Hajime spin, eyes trying to find them.

“Did that waiter look like Yahaba?” He asked curiously, looking over at Tooru. For a second, panic flared behind brown eyes before it was smothered with a cool neutral look. Tooru shrugged and turned to grab a plate.

“Now now, Iwa-chan, I know you miss our kohai but why would they be here of all places?” Tooru teased and Hajime narrowed his eyes on his boyfriend but this time he could have sworn he saw pink hair and he twisted.

“Was that Hanamaki?” Hajime asked, then glanced over at the muffled answer. Tooru’s cheeks were stuffed with milk bread and he looked genuinely curious. There was a moment where he fought the way his throat didn’t want to swallow, then Tooru coughed and swallowed.

“What baby?” He tilted his head innocently and Hajime decided he probably was seeing things. He knew Yahaba had been taking odd jobs and he might have signed up for this event and didn’t want to appear in front of his senpai, but there was no reason for Hanamaki to be here at all.

“Forget about it.” He shook his head, grabbing his own plate and filling it up. The speeches and ceremony had already ended so now it was just a meet and greet between Hajime’s new coworkers and the ones financing his plans being put into motion. Most of them had been heading home when Hajime had seen them earlier, but the event still seemed well packed and the catering service was bringing out fresh foods.

It wasn’t a bad thing, but Hajime really wasn’t sure when it was going to end and when he could go home. He really just wanted to lay on the couch with his boyfriend and his cat and watch some dumb drama that would leave Tooru gasping in surprise and unable to comment on his boyfriend studying his face.

Speaking of his boyfriend. Tooru was still stuffing his face, somehow managing to look decent and wonderful even after his eighth pastry. His eyes were alight almost unnaturally, dancing over the crowd as if dissecting each one of them. He leaned back, settling against Hajime’s shoulder and leaned up to whisper in his ear, the sugary sweet scent on his breath making Hajime want to ban him from sweets.

“She’s having an affair with the waitress.” Tooru whispered, and Hajime almost smacked him. Then the waitress came by again, a hand gently sliding over the woman’s waist as her husband turned away.

“No.” Hajime gasped and Tooru grinned.

“Oh yeah. And the husband is the one me and you walked in with that dancer, remember in Kyoto?” Tooru purred and Hajime looked away before he gave it away. He did remember the man and how much he’d begged Hajime and Tooru not to tell his wife. Well…

“Oh, this is the best.” Tooru giggled, leaning down to nuzzle at Hajime’s cheek. “I haven’t been surrounded in this much drama since I helped my Dad at his business parties. You have to take me to every event now, babe.”

“Who else am I going to take dumbass?”

“.... Koushi.” Tooru said after a long moment and Hajime had to think it over before finally nodding.

“Yes, okay, if you and Daichi were both working, I would take him with me. But only because you said I couldn’t bring Kai.”

“Because, he. Is. Beautiful. And. a. Good. Person. I can’t compete with that, Iwa-chan. We both know I’m a bitch.” Tooru said dramatically, blinking down at him like he couldn't believe Hajime had forgotten that very important aspect of their relationship. Hajime honestly couldn’t believe that Tooru thought he’d want anyone else.

“You’re a dumbass.”

“Iwa-chan! Stop being mean!” Tooru yelped, tugging petulantly at his jacket as Hajime wrapped his arm around his shoulders and pulled his head down enough to kiss him.

“Never. You’re stuck with me forever, dumbass.” Hajime murmured against his lips, almost breaking into a smile at the happy cheer Tooru let out before stealing another kiss.

“Oh! Iwa-Chan, let’s go sit down.” Tooru said, bumping their hips together and almost losing Hajime’s plate. Hajime turned to snap at him before catching sight of blonde and black hair behind Tooru. Kyoutani?

He was so distracted he didn’t even notice Tooru pulling him along and putting their plates down at a table. Tooru’s hands were poking and prodding him but Hajime didn’t notice, looking around and staring at the suddenly much thinner crowd. He could only recognize two or three people and they were heading to the parking lot, however the catering service was switching out plates with fresh food and they were lighting candles at the long table in the middle of the field.

Something was going on. Knowing Tooru, he might have decided to marry Tobio off against his will again. Hajime almost turned to ask Tooru, but there was another flash of bumblebee hair and he spun, eyes widening as he took in his old team. Their team.

Every single one of them. Matsukawa, Hanamaki, Yuda, Sawauchi, Shido, Watari, Yahaba, Kyoutani, Kindaichi, Kunimi. And they were holding a giant banner that read ‘Turn around, Ace.’

He turned but Tooru was missing. Until he looked down and saw his boyfriend on his knees. His breath caught as he stared down at his best friend, his partner, the love of his life before him.

Tooru gave him a smile, the real kind that set Hajime’s heart on fire and made him want to kiss him senseless. Tooru was opening a velvet box, holding out a ring for him.

“Iwaizumi Hajime. You are the beat in my heart, my best friend, you’ve been my partner since the moment I was born. Every time I wake up with you is like a new promise of a lifetime together, a thousand lifetimes wouldn’t be enough to show you how much I love you. But I do. I love you, Hajime and I want to spend the rest of our lives together showing you. I want to see your smiles, your frowns, I want to soothe your anger and drive your passion, I want to be the one you turn to always. Will you, Iwaizumi Hajime, do me the most amazing honor of marrying me?”

Hajime’s mouth didn’t work and his eyes were blurring with tears as he mumbled uselessly. All he could see were those eyes staring up at him with understanding and so much love. They were completely full of adoration and Hajime couldn’t do anything but cry for a second. He pulled himself together and took a breath.

“Of course… Stand up, idiot.” Hajime managed to push out, waiting until Tooru managed to get the ring on his finger before he was tangling a hand in his hair and pulling him down into a kiss. He kissed him again and again, holding him as close as he could and laughing when he felt Tooru’s own tears of joy hit his face.

“I’m so glad you said yes,” Tooru said, kissing him softly. “Shi-chan said he would beat you up if you said no.”

“No I didn’t!” Watari’s voice called and that was all the warning they had before they were being tackled by the team. Arms were everywhere and Hanamaki and Matsukawa were doing their damndest to kiss both of them. Yuda was openly sobbing into Shido’s arms as he hugged Tooru and Hajime laughed, bright and loud. He didn’t even try to stop as he took in his team.

They had grown up so well, from accountants to vets, they were making their dreams a reality. Yet, here they were, before him at one of the most amazing times of his life. His team and in many ways, his family. Even when they had pulled away, they would always come back together. His family.

He scooped up Kyoutani and Kindaichi, hugging them tightly even as Kindaichi squeaked and Kyoutani patted his arms. There was only a second before Hajime’s arm was being forced away from Kyoutani and Watari was diving in for a hug too, laughing at Hanamaki’s loud insistence that it was his turn.

“Actually! He’s mine!” Tooru said above the din but Matsukawa and Sawauchi both tackled him to rub his hair and coo about the sweet proposal.

“As fun as this is, I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” Yahaba said once he and Kunimi had disentangled themselves from the pile. Kunimi’s gaze was soft and there was a smile on his lips and Hajime considered that a bigger win then Tooru managing to propose before him.

Hajime laughed, rubbing the top of Watari’s head as they started to stand. The team broke apart for a moment, hurrying to the buffet table and moving to sit at the long table. Tooru screamed for Watari to stop and nearly tackled him down before rubbing his head.

“For good luck.” He explained, grinning when Hajime shoved him off the ex-libero.

“You don’t need luck, you’ve got me.” Hajime said, grabbing his jacket and pulling him down into a kiss again.

“And you’re all I need.”

It’s You & Me- TSS Pokemon AU Fic (Nothing But My Friends Besides Me)

The first in a series of related one-shots taking place in my Pokemon AU, Nothing But My Friends Besides Me, or NBMFBM!

Summary: Virgil, Patton, Logan, Roman, Dee, Thomas and Remy are all students at a private Pokemon Trainer’s School. In line with school tradition, they are all about to receive an Eevee as their first Pokemon; Virgil is nervous about getting his starter. Pairings: None yet, they’re still just kids :)

Warnings: Anxious thoughts, references to being orphaned, self-deprecation, mentions of violence/injury of the ‘Pokemon battle’ variety, animal illness mention, one (1) F-bomb, a very vague allusion to Roman being mean to Virgil. Word count: 1,079

Virgil shoved his hands deeper into his hoodie pockets, biting his lip. Today was the big day. Today he got his first Pokemon, his partner for the next five months of Pokemon School and the journey afterward. Well, assuming he did well enough to pass the second semester.

Virgil was terrified. Not that that was anything new.

When they had first arrived at the school, Professor Picani had informed them that each of them that passed the first semester would be given an Eevee to raise into their own unique starters. Virgil had barely controlled his panic, sitting alone in the back of the classroom. They were entrusting him with a small, dependent, living creature? That was a lot of responsibility. What if Virgil forgot to feed it? What if he fed it the wrong food? What if it got sick because he didn’t take it outside to play enough?

What if it didn’t like him? The thoughts had pestered him all throughout the first semester, haunting him when he tried to sleep, interrupting his train of thought during examinations. Some days, he didn’t want to go through with becoming a trainer. He was sure to mess up. He’d let his Pokemon get too hurt in battles, or they would get sick and he wouldn’t know what to do, or he’d be a failure at battling and they would grow to hate him, if they didn’t already. But it wasn’t as though he could call it quits now. Virgil had already spent all his remaining money on Pokemon School. He had nowhere else to go, no one to turn to, and nothing to look forwards to except trying to make it on his own somehow as a Trainer. The consequences of failing at school scared him too much to let him go ahead with chickening out, so he took notes furiously and stayed up too late reviewing them, one evaluation after another and then- The day finally came. Picani drew names for who would get the first chance to bond with one of the young Eevees. Patton’s name was drawn first; Virgil watched from the window as he set his sights right away on the biggest, fluffiest, friendliest Eevee of the litter and walked away with a new friend less than fifteen minutes later. Virgil had been second. He’d ignored Roman’s jealous pout as he slipped into the small pen, a Nest Ball clutched tightly in one hand. Half a dozen or so young Eevees were scattered about, not paying him any mind as they played. Virgil sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm his erratic heartbeat. How was he supposed to pick one? Did he want the fastest? The strongest? Whichever one just seemed to hate him the least? Maybe... maybe a quiet one would be better suited for him. One that would get along well with his introversion. Of the six he knew were in there (not that he’d be able to count them properly himself, with how some of them were running about), only two were calmly sitting off to the sides. One was a bit bigger, with big ears, and the other- Virgil knew instantly which one he wanted. The other Eevee was on the smaller side for a boy, curled up and half-dozing in the corner. Unlike the others with their creamy caramel colours, this Eevee was a monochromatic silver-grey. One big eye was half-open, but he wasn’t watching Virgil. He was watching the others with his fluffy tail tucked between his legs, ears drooping sadly. Virgil knew that look, with a painful intensity that startled a sharp inhale from him. He knew exactly was it felt like to be excluded from the group because you were different, the aching pain of being treated like you were invisible- or worse, nonexistent. Also, heck yes, he wanted the pale and monochromatic Eevee. He was pale too! They would go great together. Gloomy grey little outcasts. “H-Hey, buddy.” Virgil crouched carefully near the shiny Eevee, unsure of what to do. His little ears perked up, shifting his gaze onto him. Scarcely daring to breathe, the budding Trainer extended one trembling hand and let the Eevee sniff it curiously. He shook himself and stretched, so Virgil took the chance to lower himself slowly to sit cross-legged on the grass. “I’m Virgil.” The Eevee cocked his head, ears now perked all the way up. He glanced up at Virgil’s face with big eyes. Virgil got the sense that he was listening to him talk, even if maybe that seemed silly. Pokemon were supposed to be fairly intelligent, right? He decided to roll with it. “I like the way you look. You’re pale, like me.” He pauses to let the Eevee sniff his (yes, pale) hand again.

“I’m supposed to pick one of you guys to be my partner. Would you like to be my buddy? I’m not the bravest trainer, or the most sociable person, but...” He broke off, heart pounding in his chest. The little silver Eevee stared up at him and butted his head against his hand again, fluffy tail swishing pleasantly. Carefully, as though any sudden movements could shatter the moment and send the young Pokemon fleeing, Virgil pulled out the Nest Ball and put it on the grass between them. “...but I’d like to be your friend. If you want.” The Eevee let out a little trill and bumped his head against the Pokeball. In a flash of red light, Eevee was sucked into the ball. It rocked three times and went still. A digital chime rang out. Virgil stared for a long moment. Tentatively, as if he might be dreaming, he reached out and picked up the Nest Ball. Oh, fuck. He just took the only shiny Eevee. Roman was going to kill him. He couldn’t bring himself to care right now, oddly enough. He summoned his new companion back out onto the grassy turf. Glancing down at the fluffy grey fur, Virgil was struck with lightning-like inspiration. Looking between the clouded sky above him, his new friend at his feet, and the logo stitched over his chest, he knelt down on the grass, a grin tugging at his lips. “How does Stormcloud sound for a name? Stormy for short?” He got a very enthusiastic lick to the face in response. So much for his reputation as a tough, scary emo. At least his aesthetic was still intact. “Alright, Stormy. Let’s go.”

Oceanus Aogiri and Coral Aogiri

Oceanus and Coral are Archie and Shelly’s twin kids. Both kids often babysat Grey and Ashley when the Ketchum cousins were younger, as such the four of them get along great.

Oceanus is excitable, headstrong and ready to do something. He likes to battle and he challenges gyms to battle the gym leaders. But he has yet to compete in a Pokemon League, when asked why he said he just likes battling and he likes looking at his badges, he doesn’t want to compete in a Pokemon League for glory, he simply likes to battle and battle he will do. Despite this, he’s still a caring and nice guy that has a soft spot for kids.

Coral is kind, gentle and caring towards everyone around her. She always smiles at others and has an appreciation for things such as contests, she has joined in the contest group and has won two grand festivals. She’s a freelance coordinator and will perform for exhibition contests. Despite always smiling, she can be serious when the situation calls for it, that’s the only time she’ll open her eyes and stop smiling.

The twins will often be seen wearing Team Aqua Grunt uniforms and they will occasionally talk like pirates for the fun of it. Both of them don’t like Fire type Pokemon and will refuse to use them on their teams.

Oceanus’ Pokemon:

Dewott- Oceanus received his Dewott as an Oshawott once he had hatched from an egg that was bred for him. He evolved during a battle to catch Buizel. As an Oshawott, he was playful and silly, often wanting to play more than battle due to how young he was. When it was time to battle, he would often dance around and when he won he would do a victory dance. After he evolved he gained a serious side and stopped dancing all together, he battled more often and uses his Scalchops to block attacks or to attack. He’s still a loyal Pokemon to Oceanus and stays out of his Pokeball. He has a sweet tooth and will often forget what he was saying or thinking if he is given something sweet.

Caught in a Pokeball.

Ability is Torrent.

Moves are Razor Shell, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Ice Beam, Aqua Jet, Swagger, Water Pledge, Hidden Power (Ground), Rain Dance and Hydro Pump.

Buizel- Buizel was caught by Oceanus near where he lived. Buizel is a Pokemon that likes to battle, he always likes to train himself and train the others for any and all kinds of battles. He likes to swim around in his free time and gets along with Dewott, making them both training partners. He’s just as loyal to Oceanus as Dewott is and will willingly come out of his Pokemon to protect his trainer.

Caught in a Dive Ball.

Ability is Swift Swim.

Moves are Water Pulse, Sonic Boom, Razor Wind, Whirlpool, Ice Punch, Brick Break, Rain Dance, Aqua Tail, Fury Cutter and Brine.

Beedrill- Oceanus was exploring a forest one day and tripped over a sleeping Weedle. Slightly annoyed, he threw a Nest ball and caught Weedle. As a Weedle, Beedrill was lazy, slow, and always hungry. He paid little to no attention to battling and never seemed to like anything aside from eating and sleeping. After he evolved into Kakuna and later Beedrill, he became angry and lashed out at everyone. It took some time, but he calmed down from being fully angry all the time. He became a serious battling Pokemon and later got a hold of a Beedrillite, allowing him to mega evolve.

Caught in a Nest Ball.

Ability is Swarm. When Mega Evolved his ability changes to Adaptability.

Moves are Twineedle, Giga Drain, Poison Jab, Focus Energy, Agility, Double Team, Fell Stinger, Rage, Pin Missile and Brutal Swing.

Girafarig- Oceanus found Girafarig while him and the family were on a trip to Johto. Girafarig is blind in his left eye due to an attack by a Dark type Pokemon, so he relies on his tail to tell him where he is and if a Pokemon is attacking him from his blind spot. For that reason, Oceanus has to give Girafarig a heads up and he has to try and make sure no one knows about Girafarig’s blind spot. Despite the fact he’s blind in one of his eyes, he’s an optimistic Pokemon and is happy he found a trainer otherwise he might have been lost for good. He has a scar on his left eye, said left eye is a milky color.

Caught in a Luxury Ball.

Ability is Early Bird.

Moves are Rest, Sleep Talk, Psychic, Signal Beam, Calm Mind, Baton Pass, Shadow Ball, Return, Mirror Coat and Hyper Voice.

Primeape- Primeape was a big troublemaker when he was in the wild, often stealing food or items from trainers, or just punching them for the heck of it. Oceanus used his Girafarig to battle and catch Primeape as an attempt to get him to behave. After a while, Primeape did calm down from his tantrum and he became a great part of Oceanus’ team. He still has his angry moments and will fly into a rage or a fit, but that’s mostly during a battle since his blood pumps and he gets excited, Oceanus has to calm him down by throwing a sweet treat out on the field or to return him.

Caught in a Greatball.

Ability is Anger Point.

Moves are Rage, Karate Chop, Focus Energy, Stomping Tantrum, Outrage, Close Combat, Ice Punch, Punishment, Dynamic Punch and Gunk Shot.

Mamoswine- Oceanus caught Mamoswine as a Swinub who had later evolved into a Piloswine and later evolved into Mamoswine. As a Swinub, he was a glutton that loved to battle so long as he would get food afterwards. He was also silly and tried to do things such as balance fruits or other things on his nose. As a Piloswine, he became more laid back and easy going instead of silly all the time, he still was a glutton and enjoyed eating after a battle. Now as a Mamoswine, he no longer battles with the promise of food like what he wanted when he was a Swinub and no longer laid back and easy going like when he was a Piloswine, he’s a serious battler that takes pride in his strength now more than ever. He still likes to eat but he toned it down a bit, so he isn’t always wanting to eat like he used to.

Caught in a Greatball.

Ability is Snow Cloak.

Moves are Hail, Ancient Power, Ice Fang, Take Down, Earthquake, Trash, Freeze-Dry, Ice Shard, Bulldoze and Headbutt.

Coral’s Pokemon:

Politoed- Coral was fishing for fun during a family camping trip with the Ketchum family and she got a bite. She reeled in a Poliwag, she was going to let the little one back to the sea, except Poliwag didn’t seem to want to leave. She happily bounced and jumped around and Coral kept her. Once she evolved into Poliwhirl, she begged Coral to let her evolve into a Politoed. She complied and managed to find a King’s Rock for Poliwhirl, which lead her to becoming a Politoed. Politoed was always a jolly Pokemon that likes to hop around and have fun, she also likes to sing and create beautiful water displays. She didn’t want to evolve into Poliwrath because she felt she wouldn’t be as good at contests with all of those muscles, but at the same time she didn’t want to stay as a Poliwhirl, so she evolved into Politoed.

Caught in a Lure Ball.

Ability is Water Absorb.

Moves are Perish Song, Bubble Beam, Ice Beam, Mud Shot, Round, Echoed Voice, Hyper Voice, Water Pulse, Whirlpool and Psychic.

Milotic- Milotic was abandoned by her former trainer as a Feebas and Coral took her into her care. She always loved her Milotic as a Feebas and did her best to make her feel better about herself. Feebas said she wanted to evolve into Milotic, so Coral asked Daichi to make high quality Beauty Pokeblock and for Sirius to make high quality Beauty Poffins. Once they did, they gave Feebas the Pokeblock and Poffins and had her eat a Rare candy so she could level up and evolve, and she did. Milotic is a kind and gentle Pokemon with a lot of confidence in herself now that she evolved. She calms down anyone who’s angry or comforts them when they’re upset, she has a habit of wrapping her tail around her trainer and nuzzle her cheek as a form of affection.

Caught in a Love Ball.

Ability is Cute Charm.

Moves are Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Mirror Coat, Dragon Pulse, Attract, Disarming Voice, Whirlpool, Refresh, Safeguard and Aqua Ring.

Oricorio (Pom-Pom Style)- While visiting Alola, Coral found Oricorio in her Pom-Pom style and happily dancing and cheering. Coral found her cute and caught her. Oricorio is a gleeful Pokemon that likes to dance and cheer for her friends, she’s often seen giving them support by cheering for them. She incorporates her dancing with her battles with her dancing which leads her to be unpredictable in battle and because she’s mostly found in contests, it’s easier for her to take away points from the opponent trainer as she dances around.

Caught in a Pokeball.

Ability is Dancer.

Moves are Revelation Dance, Teeter Dance, Air Cutter, Helping Hand, Roost, Air Slash, Steel Wing, Sky Attack, Hidden Power (Psychic) and Acrobatics.

Shiny Glaceon- Coral found Glaceon as an Eevee who was in the middle of getting caught by another trainer because she was shiny. Thinking fast, Coral threw a empty Heal Ball at the shiny Eevee and caught her before the other trainer could. The shiny Eevee smiled at Coral for helping her from the trainer and stayed with her. She expressed a great enjoyment for being in contests more than battles, but she wanted to evolve first. Looking at all the Eeveelutions she deduced that Jolteon, Flareon and Umbreon are more for battling than contests, Coral already had two Water types so she didn’t want to be Vaporeon, Espeon looked good but she didn’t think it was right for her, Sylveon was cute but she was afraid of tripping over her ribbons. So it came down to Leafeon and Glaceon, she was considering Leafeon but when with Glaceon because she could cover her weaknesses better. So they traveled to the icy rock and she evolved into a Glaceon. Glaceon takes pride in herself for who she is and what she can do as a Glaceon, she’s sweet and careful, but she also gets angry if her coat gets dirty and will fly into rage when she does get dirty. She’s also very smart as she learned how to make her moves more appealing for contests. Glaceon also only lets Coral or Ashley pet her, anyone else will get a Blizzard or a Shadow Ball to their head.

Caught in a Heal Ball.

Ability is Snow Cloak.

Moves are Hail, Blizzard, Aqua Tail, Ice Shard, Swift, Hidden Power (Ground), Frost Breath, Attract, Refresh and Mirror Coat.

Cherrim- Coral caught Cherrim as a Cherubi before she had evolved during a contest battle alongside Glaceon. As a Cherubi, she was happy and always ready to dance around while laughing, she would eagerly await for the day she would evolve into a Cherrim. Now as a Cherrim, she has two different personalities. In her Overcast form she doesn’t have any energy, she’s asleep more often and she’s very very calm. In her Sunshine form she’s energetic, excited and cheerful, ready to perform for anyone. She has this habit of dancing whenever it’s sunny outside. She’s best friends with Glaceon and Glaceon allows Cherrim to ride on her back.

Caught in a Love Ball.

Ability is Flower Gift.

Moves are Petal Dance, Sunny Day, Magical Leaf, Solar Beam, Aromatherapy, Round, Nature Power, Dazzling Gleam, Grass Whistle and Safeguard.

Glameow- Coral saw Glameow by herself in a box and she took care of her until she recovered. It was because Coral was the only one to stop and help her that Glameow stayed with Coral. While most Glameow are known to be fickle, Coral’s Glameow is nothing like that. She’s very affectionate to the point she’ll pop out of her Pokeball just to nuzzle against Coral. When she gets called to do a contest she always does her best just so she can be praised by Coral, she gets very upset if she fails Coral and wants to always be there to help Coral win a contest. She refuses to evolve as she can no longer be held by Coral.

Caught in a Luxury Ball.

Ability is Limber.

Moves are Play Rough, Fake Out, Assist, Hypnosis, Attract, Dream Eater, Payback, Fake Tears, Swift and Shadow Claw.

Game Blondes Crystal Clear Nuzlocke Part 3: A Gooey Situation!

“Hey I’m blonde!”

“…I’m also blonde.”

“AND WE’RE THE GAME BLONDES!!”

“Welcome back to Game Blondes! Last time we got a shiny Eevee, and two, count ‘em TWO badges out of sixteen, though the game’s gonna start scaling up the more badges we get so we gotta be careful not to lose any more pokemon…”

“Don’t worry I’ll be fine, I’ve only lost a rat so far, now that I have something to work with I’ll be able to do stuff a lot easier.” Samus grinned confidently. “Went back to the Professor and got a Togepi (named Sunnyside) which immediately goes in the box, no way am I risking taking a literal newborn on this death journey.”

“Probably a wise choice… don’t want to tempt fate.”

“Well now that I have two badges I guess that qualifies me to operate a squirtbottle… you’re world is weird Cynthia.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Well now I’ve annoyed some living trees and gotten Cut from the dude. Guess it’s up the Sprout Tower now, not sure if it’s at all necessary but couldn’t hurt to get up there and see what’s going on.” Samus shrugged. “Oh… apparently they just give you the HM now as soon as you enter if you have the badges… Well is there anything at the top or not!?”

-One Encounter Later-

“YEAH FUCK THAT! It doesn’t count if I reset before anything faints! Nopenopenope I’m out!”

“I don’t think anyone can blame you, the run would just be over now if you didn’t.” Cynthia chuckled.

“…we may or may not come back to that later but more than double my level is not great, should’ve guessed when there was a “are you sure you’re up for the challenge?’ guard at the bottom of the tower… Still I wonder if there’s something good up there to make it worth it…”

“That’s a challenge for another day.” The Champion smiled.

“Well I don’t wanna just go through the game like normal… Even if I can do the badges in any order I still need to walk all the way there, so I don’t wanna just skip through gyms when they’re right there…”

“Why not go fuck around in Kanto for a bit? The train drops you off in Saffron so you can get to most of the region from there and pick badges at random.”

“Good idea! To fuckery!” Samus cheered. “Alright, in Saffron now, whole different country to fuck up with my sequence breaking nonsense.”

“Now that I think about it, it’s probably ironic that a Metroid protagonist is playing the pokemon game where you can sequence break…”

“SPEEDRUNING BABY! FUCK THE INTENDED ORDER!” Samus hummed. “Well most of the houses here are closed but I did get the Psychic TM, gonna teach that to Polly so my starter has a little more firepower.”

“Wonder if Silph Co. is another unstoppable hell gauntlet.“

“They don’t even let me go up… but I got a free Up-Grade for Polly! Okay, next badge I’ll go back to that kid in Goldenrod and evolve her. Might as well go kick Sabrina’s ass while I’m here…”

“HA! The guard in the normal games tells you the Up-Grade can’t be bought anywhere else. But since you can buy it in the department stores here, they added dialogue so he gets upset about not being told it was already in department stores, that’s cute.”

“Good lore for the changes I guess.” Samus snickered.”There’s two gyms but one’s empty, so guess the other’s Sabrina’s. Well Danny’s in charge here, wiping out these Psychics with a Ghost-type should be easy. See? That Channeler went down easy!”

“…and Danny’s dead.”

RIP Danny the Gastly Route 31-Saffron City, Lv. 5-Lv. 13

“Eh… I was NOT expecting that guy to have a level 18 Kadabra and I kinda forgot Gastly was a Poison type in addition to a Ghost type… well there goes my whole plan for this gym…”

“You’ll make it through, see? You’re already at Sabrina.”

“Yeah but I feel like she’s gonna be a higher level, I mean one of her minions killed one of my pokemon and I’m down a main teammate and my main strategy, think I’m gonna grind a bit and fill that empty slot before I come back, not taking any chances…”

“Better safe than sorry I guess… even if it is a bit cheap.” Cynthia sighed.

“Let me go back and bury my dead ghost and go out into one of these fields and catch me a new dude. Which way should I go? I can go pretty much anywhere from Saffron… any of the cardinal directions anyway.”

“Well you know what they say, Go West, Young Meowth.”

“…who says that?” Samus grumbled. “West it is then. ..and immediately who the hell is this guy?”

“Oh shit he has a Porygon too! Time for a Mirror Match!”

“Awww yeah, there’s no beating Polly!”

“Oh wow he has a Shiny Togepi too. I mean it’s still an egg baby but it’s a sparkly egg baby.”

“That was surprisingly tough for an egg baby, must be hard-boiled. Still at least it’s not another casualty and he gave me a bunch of money and five level balls. So that’s nice of him, speaking of which this is a new area so I can catch a new pokemon~!”

“Oooh an Abra, good luck with that!”

“Trying out one of those new Level Balls then, here goes nothing!”

“Heck yeah! Since it’s a Psychic that just wants to be left along I’ll name it Mob. Looks like it’s close to evolving too so I may use it for a bit.”

“Well might as well have a look around Celadon while we’re nearby. Erika might be a better fit for your next gym battle since you have a flying type and a few psychic moves that’ll do well against her grass and poison types.”

“Yeah… wait… the game corner here sells the Berserk Gene!? What the hell!?”

“Yeah that’s… strange…” Cynthia quirked a brow. “Rather cheap too…”

“I mean I guess it’s not super useful but still… Weird placement. Those Leftovers might be good to save up for too, but that would require more gambling… Oooh! Heracross!”

“Can I get it? Please Please!?”

“Well I guess Celadon City is a new area, so if it’s the first pokemon you encounter you can get it, sure… but just this once…”

“Whoohoo! Time for a gambling montage!”

-80’s Music-

This is a gambling montage~

Samus is gambling all her money away~

We’re not allowed to show this part in Europe~

She’s Gonna get that Heracross~

This is a gambling montage~

-montage end-

“Well since it’s blue and armored I’ll name her Gravity like my suit, looks like she’ll need a bit of grinding but should be fun to use~”

“Well a couple of training battles in Erika’s gym later and Gravity has a few levels and Hooters evolved into a Noctowl.”

“These levels on these gyms are starting to get high though, I may have to do some grinding… hopefully I’ll be able to beat Erika at least… Still, a little training won’t hurt. This guy says he’ll give me Fly if I can get one more badge, so that’ll really open things up, all the more incentive to grind up for Erika.

“…well fuk it’s a Muk. And it’s like ten levels higher than anything I have.”

“Still, Muk are mostly defensive pokemon and you just have to weaken it, give it a shot.”

“Holy crap I caught it… wasn’t expecting that, guess I have a new teammate… I’ll name it Goo since that’s what it is. Doubt it’ll help much with Erika or Sabrina, but it’s always good to have a big tanky pokemon like that, I’ll think about adding him to the team somewhere…”

“And this is why we carry Antidotes… you were almost in trouble there.”

“Meh I’ll be fine, guess I’ll switch out Shimon the Poliwag for Goo the Muk since he’s my lowest level besides the new Heracross, we’ll see if this pile of sludge comes in handy soon.”

“Holy crap look how weird it looks when Goo follows me.” Samus laughed.

-One Grind Later-

“Okay a little bit of grind and Gravity is up to level with the others and all of Erika’s support trainers are gone, I’ve got Goo and got him an Ice Punch TM, I’ve got a Noctowl, got Polly knowing Psychic and got Gravity being a Bug type, and just in case I’m buying a couple Antidotes so I think we have a decent shot at this battle, here we go!”

“If worse comes to worse you could probably just lean on your overpowered Muk now that it has a move that’s great against Grass types…”

“Well I’m gonna try not to do that if I can help it, let’s start out with Noctowl vs her Tangela! Ha! Even if it puts Hooters to sleep, that Giga Drain does next to nothing against her! That was an easy first KO. Way to pull your weight Hooters! “

“Oooh Bellsprout next huh?”

“That’s part poison right? I’ll try Polly next then and hit it with some Psychic! HA! A one hit KO! Don’t mess with Polly!”

“Another OHKO from Hooters on that Hopip… you’re really tearing through this boss battle. Though to be fair grass-types have a lot of weaknesses to exploit and usually have to use status ailments to keep up.”

“Last pokemon’s Oddish, let’s go Hooters, make this a clean sweep! Well it managed to take two hits but it’s still no match for my awesome owl thing! Great job Hooters!”

“That’s awesome, three badges down, but you realize Sabrina will be even stronger now that you have more badges, right?”

“Crap… Well the Pokemon League called again and basically just told me to go get Fly, since I’m right here I can do that pretty easily, guess we’re set up for that. I can teach it to Hooters as a reward for winning that gym battle.”

“…wow so you can just fly to any city now huh? You don’t have to have visited any of them, guess you can hop around as much as you want now.”

“True, though I’ll probably be in trouble if I just go directly for the badges each time, the walking will help me get more levels too but if I wanna go somewhere I can just drop myself off and see what’s up around there. I can continue that sidequest with Professor Oak at some point too since I can just fly to Pallet Town and see what’s going on, and I feel like I can safely evolve Polly too, which I may do… NEXT TIME ON GAME BLONDES!”

Whee, updates!

Short summary (because it gets reeeeally long under the read more and I totally don’t expect anyone to read everything): Pupper died, kitty died x2, mom’s in a wheelchair because the VA is terrible apparently, epilepsy is still a thing, money’s still a bit tight, and our winters are cold. But! Video games are fun and I’ve adopted a new feral kitty and her kittens! Also I’m trying to make a game now! And my uncle is nice enough to take me to church whenever he can! :D

Still living at home with mom; still have epilepsy, still not able to work or drive, still trying to earn my keep by helping out around the house.

Last winter we had some pipes burst! I’ve had to master the art of DIY plumbing and got it mostly fixed but it was way more stressful than it should’ve been and that was preeetty much why I vanished on here again.

I don’t recall ever putting it on here; our dog, Elvis, ultimately passed away about a year or so after my step dad did. He ended up with cancer and we had to put him down. He was a good pupper right up until the end and I had to do my darnedest not to cry in front of him since he was such a sensitive bab. At the time, our car was in the shop and we had to call for a taxi. The driver was insanely kind to us and put up with us putting a hundred pounds of dog in his backseat, and didn’t charge us extra when we asked to stop at a gas station to get some junk food to drown our sorrows in. He also told us the story of how he put his own dog down, and how sorry he was to hear it had happened to us, too.

One of our cats died- Tricky, our big black kitty. She got cancer, as well, and when we couldn’t get her to eat even with taking something to increase appetite we had to have her put down. She was an absolute sweetheart and the vet let me hold her while they gave her the injection.

I’m pretty sure I posted on here when our other kitty- Moony- died year before last? In case I didn’t: It was kidney failure. There wasn’t anything that could be done. He became joined at the hip with me when he first started getting sick, and having to make the call myself to have him put down hurt.

More kittens happened!! We had a feral kitty (feral as in you didn’t want to approach her or she would probably attack) that was best friends with Elvis and used to eat and sleep with him for protection against our other feral cats. After we lost him, we kept putting food out in his bowl for her to eat in the garage. That became primarily my job and after working with her for around three years (I’d started trying to work with her before Elvis even got sick) she started approaching me and rubbing against my legs. Then she proceeded to have kittens and I had to activate CODE ADORABLE and we adopted all four of them- and her! The kittens were darlings and one in particular (named Cobbler now) considered me his second mother, but it was pretty easy to coax them inside the house once they were around three weeks old. Mama cat followed them and we led them into a spare bedroom. That was two years ago, and they’ve all been fixed and given their shots and they’re a bunch of healthy little babies! Cobbler is still the mama’s boy, though, and he won’t eat in the morning unless I pick him up and talk to him for a good few minutes.

Pokemon!! Pokemon has been something of a saving grace for me! Between car break downs (which happen every few months it seems), doctor appointments, and just life being generally not fun, Pokemon has helped keep me a little sane. In the past year and a half I’ve played through around... seven games, including the USUM and LGPE. Let’s Go Eevee is stupidly fun, for the record, and Eevee, Mew, and I are steamrolling over Kanto and finding shinies along the way.

This spring! This! Past! Spring! I saw someone reblog a post on here talking about turning characters without a set backstory into a fighting game, then someone added to make a dating game and included links to Ren’py and a few other engines and whoo boy. I decided to try Ren’py and I got hooked and now I’m making a game I guess?? It’s a weird mix of point-and-click, dating sim, and adventure at this point. I’m making it entirely myself (art, programming, writing/plot) and it’s been super fun!! My art’s improved a lot as a result and I totally need to share game progress on here!

My mom’s wheelchair thing is a loooong story. In an effort to keep it a little short: basically her VA doctor ignored her back pain, sent her to physical therapy, ultimately drove her into a wheelchair. Not fun.

This past November was a mess of no sleep and little food and I’m still kind of reeling from it. Slowly getting back into the swing of things, though!

Throughout all of this, I’ve been super grateful for my uncle!! He lives an hour away and preaches at a church in his city, but he makes a concentrated effort to come and pick me up once a month to go to church with him and have a meal with his congregation. He also sometimes drops some food off for me and my mom when he knows things are particularly tight for us. I’d never tell him and he probably doesn’t realize it, but he feels like the closest thing I have to a dad these days. <3

AND YEAH BASICALLY THINGS HAVE BEEN HECTIC.

But there’s been some good hectic buried in there!

I really have missed having Tumblr to come on and just dump art and writing and stuff, though, so I’m glad things seem to be settling down a bit so I can tentatively try to come back here. <3

#personal #sappire personal #WHOO BOY THAT WAS WAY TOO LONG WINDED #seriously though I was mostly just writing out the longer in-depth update for my own future self #because I like going through my old posts from time-to-time and remember how far I've come #so the tl;dr exists and covers the bases #I don't want it to come across as like #'I AM SUCH AN IMPORTANT PERSON YOU MUST READ MY ENTIRE LIFE STORY'#because that's not it at all I promise #ignoring this post altogether is fine #but I'm doing kind of okay right now!!#that's the only real relevant thing!#I'm feeling pretty good this morning and I think I'm just gonna curl up with a warm blanket and Let's Go Eevee #c:

An analysis of shots from the “Pokemon: Let’s Go” trailer:

Here’s Junior Red with his partner Pikachu. It seems like unlike Yellow where Pikachu followed behind you, this time Pikachu stays perched on your shoulder.

Junior Red and Pikachu outside in Pallet Town.

On Route 1.

In Fuchsia City.

Now here’s Junior Leaf meeting her partner Eevee.

Junior Leaf’s face. Design-wise, she actually has little resemblance to Leaf and looks more like a Hilbert/Hilda love child.

This is either Viridian City or Pewter City.

But this is definitely Viridian Forest.

And this is definitely Vermillion City.

Professor Oak facing down a flock of Pidgeys. Is THIS how he demonstrates to us how to capture Pokemon in this game?

Professor Oak faces the camera. Gotta say, I’m not digging this style of character models on adult characters like Oak. It’s fine on the kids, but on adults it looks like some unholy medium between the Gen 6 and Gen 7 models. Tall bodies but disproportionately large bobble heads.

Right outside the entrance to Viridian Forest. Here we can see that Pokemon are indeed visible in the overworld like in Go, but in tall grass they’re still relatively hard to detect.

Two players on route to Mt. Moon.

Right outside Mt. Moon’s entrance, next to the Pokemon Center.

Inside Mt. Moon. This is where visible Pokemon instead of random encounters comes in handy, ‘cause it means less goddamn Zubat ambushes. But on the other hand, that latter to nowhere just looks so cheap. The original 8-bit graphics looked less cheap than that!

Challenging the first trainer on Nugget Bridge, a Bug Catcher.

Battling Bug Catcher on Nugget Bridge, confirming that the core RPG style of trainer battles will be used here. You can even use two Pokemon at a time, it seems!

Bug Catcher loses. But he did his best - he has no regrets!

Somewhere out on Cycling Rode. Psyduck and Raticate really stick out here.

I think this is the Undergound Tunnel to Vermillion City? With Nidoqueen and Nidoking!

Pretty sure this is on route to Fuchsia City, but help! We’re getting chased by big Pokemon!

GUZMA!!! OK, not really, but the guy they got here dresses just like him!

Team Rocket’s insignia. Oh yeah, the best Pokemon villain team is back in business! This being a influenced by Yellow makes me expect to see Jessie and James, but if they were here we absolutely would have seen them on this trailer, so alas, it’s not to be.

Starting a battle with Rocket Grunt and again, not a fan of the models of adult characters. The male Rainbow Rocket grunts in USUM looked better than this.

Battling Rocket Grunt at Rocket Base or Silph Co. I’d guess the latter given the whole office layout, but the coloring looks a lot like where Giovanni was first seen in Pokemon Origins.

Pikachu using an electric attack on Grimer. The attack animation in this game is awesome.

A battle on board the S.S Anne.

Dragonite preparing a Hyper Beam at Rocket Base or Sliph Co.

A Magikarp crashing down to Earth? What sort of attack causes THAT?

Golem using Self-Destruct or Explosion on Snorlax.

JEEZUS, is it ever Super Effective!

Mewtwo, now with new story significance, in Cerulean Cave. The cave looks just like how it did in Origins except now there are shiny crystals, like it’s underground Ba Sing Se.

Facing Mewtwo in the final showdown and it. looks. fucking. AMAZING.

OK, time for some real talk.

These games are going to mean different things to different people. There are as much people who immediately abhor them as there are people who are excited for them. Me? Pokemon Yellow - Special Pikachu Edition, on which this is heavily based on, was my first Pokemon game. It is my favorite Pokemon game for this reason. It, and the original arc of the anime that it was influenced by, is the reason I am here in Pokemon fandom today. It’s the core series game I’ve played the most frequently, it’s still holds up as a fun experience for me every time, and I know the whole game inside out like the back of my hand at this point, which is how I was able to easily recognize a lot of the game points and locations shown in this trailer. If this was just any other Gen 1, Kanto nostalgia-exploiting cash grab, I’d still be curious in how it’d turn out but wouldn’t mind giving it a pass either. But not only is this Yellow in particular we’re talking about here, but it’s something I’d actually secretly yearned to get for years now - a fully realized 3D remake of the original Pokemon for a home console. Aside from differences in gameplay and no voice acting that we know of, this is pretty much that dream realized. Given the console it’s being put out for, I suspect that not just Go, but The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild (a fully realized 3D spiritual remake of the original Legend of Zelda game) for the Switch, was a big influence for the creation of these games. And to make it clear, I don’t play Pokemon games for a challenge or for competition or for any extra features, online compatibility and downloadable content they have - I play to have fun.

And so next to that feeling of hope being realize, my attachment to Yellow, and the fact that hey, I rather enjoy Pokemon Go, all my criticisms - the gameplay changes, the cheap looking interior environments, the graphic style of adult character models, the distractingly visible Pokemon on the overworld at points, no wild Pokemon battles, the lack of Jessie and James, and that the whole thing feeling like it could’ve been stylized better overall - they don’t matter. I WILL be giving these games a try, even if they end up sucking. Because I just can’t not.
