very strange how some of these early jn episodes are like. baity? like “oh theres a croagunk and a piplup talking- but not the ones you know!” and “ohhhh will ash see ho oh again? mayyyyybe :3 tee hee youll have to watch to be sure!!” “oh ash is in the battle frontier!! wonder if he’ll face any…. particularly challenging foes? :3”

like i cant quite hold this against the entire show cause they do actual throwbacks and stuff later but its so weird right? like we know they commit later so what was with this weird shit

#also bc i watched these subbed i didnt process til now that theyre literally in ecruteak city bc apparently thats where ho oh was sighted #and ik thats The place to go to for ho oh plots and all and it makes sense but. why didnt morty shut down the guy faking ho oh sightings #bc theres no way he doesnt know right? like thats part of his deal in the anime that he loves ho oh?#wouldnt these guys worry abt pissing off the gym leader #idk i didnt actually finish this ep when it aired lets see of thats ever mentioned. it probably wont tho #echoed voice #also i feel bad for people who have ho oh as their favorite legendary cause its simultaneously treated really well and really poorly in the #in the show #jn lb

Chapter 2 - Page 24

First | Previous | Next | Latest Index (chapter 3 info under cut)

Chapter 2 has finally concluded! A whole 8 pages longer than the first!! Woo!! I have a feeling they may just get longer as we get more into the story haha. Oh well! Like last time, I'll be taking a break between chapters to rest a little, get the plot points for the next chapter more polished, and try to get a solid backlog of pages ready. Going to take about of month off- POSSIBLY a month and a half? Depends on how well prepping the chapter goes (I have doomed myself by setting it in ancient Ecruteak City and am not as familiar with classic Japanese architecture as I would like hahaha- time to find some refs and do a bunch of studies!). Either way- it will be back in mid-late November! That DOESN'T mean that the comic feed will be quiet though! Like last time, there's a between chapter Interlude page that will be going up on October 11th! And after that, I plan to post some behind the scenes development stuff on days that the comic would normally update- so if folks want to they can get a look at how I put this together. If folks are interested, I could also open up the ask box for a little while? Do a bit of Q&A for comic related things (I won't be answering anything too spoilery, but you're welcome to ask!). And since it has been asked for (and rightfully so, this thing is getting long and difficult to navigate) I've compiled a pinned masterpost to make navigation easier for folks on mobile. There's been an Index Page set up for the web version since the beginning- unfortunately it's hard to get to normally on mobile, so a lot of folks didn't have an easy way to thumb through pages, and that's no good! So- fixed! I'm also in the process of going back and putting "Prev", "Next", "Read from the Beginning", and "Latest" links on each page update. Which honestly I SHOULD have been doing from the start, but hey- live and learn I suppose? Also ALSO am going to see about getting the Neocities page for the comic that I started months ago more finished so it has its own home away from Social Media- but that's a bit lower priority at the moment haha.

But yeah! Honestly, thank you all so much for reading! The response to this silly little passion project has honestly blown me out of the water, I can't believe how many people are keeping up with it now. :'D I love love LOVE reading reactions and speculation in the comments and tags! Thank you all for sticking around so far, and I hope you continue to enjoy this self-indulgent little project as it goes!

~Ann

Quagsire

cw: fluff,

pairing: Rika/Reader

summary: You return from a trip to Johto with a gift for your girlfriend. She loves it for a different reason then you intended.

Rika sighed as she checked her phone again. Was your flight delayed? Her eyes went to a nearby screen. There was nothing to alert her to that. She ran her fingers through her hair. No messages from you, not that you could while the plane was landing.

You had gone out of the region on a trip to Johto, claiming to want to see the historical districts of Ecruteak and Violet City, while also seeing how different the battling style was there in comparison to Paldea. She would have loved to join you, but getting the time off just seemed impossible. There was always something that needed her attention as an Elite Four member. Though, she was glad to see you off, with a request that you bring her a gift back to make up for her not getting to go.

Today was your return from Johto. She had specifically requested off so she could spend some quality time with you. Yet, the universe still seemed to be denying her that. Shaking her head, she looked at her phone again. Nothing. Before she could wander away from the gates, though, a familiar voice yelled out her name. You rushed over to her with a bright grin while carrying all your luggage. Rika felt her lips twitch up into a grin at seeing you finally.

She caught you in a hug as you put down a bag to squeeze her tightly. A chuckle left her, “I thought your plane got lost or something.” Your warmth instantly soaked into her and dispersed any lingering frustrations. With a light laugh from you, both of you headed out of the busy place and went home.

Once you had your bags tucked away, you both crashed on the couch. Rika turned on the television to some boring show that mostly served as background noise as you cuddled up together. You were exhausted from the trip, and she was exhausted from the extra work she had to do to get today off. Her arm was tightly around your shoulders as she laid a kiss into your hair.

Everything seemed to be pointing to you both taking a nap.

Until you suddenly jumped out of the embrace to rush into the bedroom. Rika watched your rapid shift with a confused expression. You scrambled to search through your bags before returning with a pokeball in your hand. She cocked a brow up. A battle? Honestly, she would have preferred a nap, but if you insisted, she guessed. Before she could send out a pokemon, you quickly gave the pokeball to her.

“Your gift,” you smiled at her brightly, “I found a pokemon I thought you'd like!” Rika's eyes went wide. You got her a pokemon? Did Johto have interesting ground types? She did not think so, but the green-haired woman would never reject a gift from you. Sending it out, she watched a… familiar shape come out of the light.

A confused blue pokemon took shape as it looked around the apartment. Rika almost wanted to laugh. “A Quagsire?” she knelt down to pet the water fish pokemon, “Aren't you a cutie? You have a look in your eyes just like my Clodsire.” The Quagsire gave a “d'oh?” in reply to the woman's questions. It did lean into her hand, however, deeply enjoying the petting. “Babe, is this guy even a ground type?” she asked you, genuinely wondering. She knew they were related to Clodsires as they both came from Woopers, yet this pokemon just screamed water type. Then again, her Wishcash was both, too.

You nodded, “She's a water-ground type! I found her wandering alone as a little Wooper while exploring a route near a cave. She was too cute to just leave on her own, so I ended up training her.” Rika felt a bit flustered that you were gifting her a pokemon that you trained yourself. The Quagsire suddenly seemed even cuter to her.

“She's a great gift, no doubt,” she rubbed the pokemon's blobby head again, “Buuuut, what if you kept her, and we battled together as a Quagsire-Clodsire combo?” The idea entered her head and just would not leave. It was simply too much of a romantic thing for her to resist. You both standing side by side as couple trainers with your themed teams. Aces both being from the pokemon same family. She loved the idea a lot. When you two won, she could squeeze you into a hug and kiss you while your confused ground-fish pokemon watched.

You tilted your head in consideration. Quagsire could be bred to gift her a Johtonian Wooper in the end. Plus, there was an appeal to her idea. You nodded and knelt down with her to lean into her side. “Sure,” you agreed, “Let's become an annoying power couple in Paldea.” Her long hair tickled your skin as you nuzzled into her shoulder. A chuckle came from her.

Rika moved to peck a quick kiss on your lips to seal the deal.

#pokemon x reader #pokemon rika x reader #rika x reader #pokemon/reader #pokemon rika/reader #rika adores the wooper you later gift her too. its your shared child according to her.

Todays rip: 21/03/2024

Poké Village

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume C

Ripped by XxFemBu55yL0V3RxX

youtube

I've yapped on and on before on here about what the true core of SiIvaGunner is, be it comedy, emotion, shitposting, community, lore, what have you. There obviously isn't one true answer to that question: it's all subjective, not just based on your own reading of the channel, but your own experiences with it. As an aspiring writer, I love digging deep into its narrative and theming, the stuff found in Nice, Slick, Blackness and NIGHTMARESCAPE 〜Unrestrained HyperCam 2〜 (Final Boss Phase 2) - but other people are far more invested in the act of ripping itself, the people who go the mile beyond that even I do and keep up with all the various fan channels, or even make rips themselves. But no matter your angle, there's one thing that binds everything together, the thing that Poké Village and so many other rips represent. To share what you love, and love what others share.

I'm sure that at this point, Violet Snow Memories is one of my most-linked posts on this blog, but that's exactly because it represents that theme so well. Kyle Hyde's duology of DS Adventure games aren't exactly worldwide phenomenons, yet there are still people out there - people like Uncle Fill - who wish to share their love for the games in any way they can. And in turn, I myself have enjoyed hundreds of rips representing games and franchises I've never really engaged with much, franchises like Touhou with Imperial Touwer or Sable with Sable's Stickerbush. But it doesn't really matter whether or not I'M a fan of these series, when its ever-so-evident just how much the people making these rips love them, the love you can see in the rips themselves. And hell, I've said it before and I'll say it again: It was Chaze the Chat's love for Maroon 5 as a band, its early history and distinct style highlighted in the rips on SiIvaGunner, rips like As Miku Collides, that got ME invested in the band in return. Each ripper on SiIvaGunner, each contributor and fan submitter, wishes to share a piece of themselves with SiIva's audience, and it's truly heartwarming to see how many of us are able to look beyond the boundaries of fandom to appreciate real quality.

Which, then, brings us back to Poké Village - a rip featuring the Pokke Village theme from the Monster Hunter series. First appearing when the series was still primarily on the PlayStation Portable, and only reappearing on the core-fan installment Monster Hunter Generations. The franchise is far from niche, the song far from obscure - but it still isn't exactly a theme known to those *outside* of the Monster Hunter sphere, in the way that we for instance all know the tune of Green Hill Zone without having played a Sonic game. SiIvaGunner isn't exactly a gathering spot for the Monster Hunter community (the games themselves have a pitiful amount of rips on the channel), but by just Poké Village alone, you may be fooled into thinking otherwise.

What XxFemBu55yL0V3RxX's created here is a beautiful 7-minute arrangement of the aforementioned Pokke Village theme, initially led by the very same nostalgic Game Boy hum that leads much of the Johto Pokémon games' soundtracks. The extensiveness of the arrangement alone speaks volumes - it reminds me of rips like Jesus of the Underground right off the bat - but its hardly where the rip stops to impress. For one, I think the choice in game to use for this "bait-and-switch" arrangement is incredibly smart and quite deliberate. As an outsider, I need not have played a Monster Hunter game to get a sense for what Pokke Village is like, due purely to my associations with Ecruteak City and how those feelings are leveraged in the rip. I have no nostalgia nor attachment to any Monster Hunter game, yet the emotion present in just the rip's first half alone, the way the theme swells and settles, it conveys the rural village atmosphere pitch-perfectly. And all of it is, of course, elevated by the rip's unexpected twist - the remarkably seamless switch from the Pokémon GSC sound, to something far closer to a ground-up arrangement.

At first, I drew the conclusion that it was directly based on the Ecruteak City or Cianwood City theme of Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver, the 2009 remakes of the Johto Pokémon games for Nintendo DS. And while the arrangement feels incredibly similar to the sound of the DS, from the samples used to their quality, I can't directly connect the instruments used to either of the two city themes (which share a melody but with differing arranges). Yet the vibe is what truly matters, XxFemBu55yL0V3RxX is able to harness the warmth and comfort of those familiar DS-era samples to further bring home the sheer vibe of the Pokke Village theme that elevates the rip beyond its starting point, beyond its initial concept. I love pleasant surprise escalations like this, like I covered back in Plantasia 2, and much like that rip itself - I love how Poké Village is using it purely to further push a message of affection for a piece of media XxFemBu55yL0V3RxX seemingly holds very close to him.

Melody swaps between themes with such similar atmosphere are always some of the most surefire hits on SiIva, I'm reminded of just how quickly Aquadial enchanted me to name just one. And Poké Village certainly fits that mold, but I'm enamored by just how far XxFemBu55yL0V3RxX went to celebrate this theme that many of us are likely still rather unfamiliar with, to champion a franchise otherwise so underrepresented on SiIvaGunner with a seven-minute tribute covering two entirely different styles of arrangement. And it makes me so happy that it all worked, that the rip was able to hit the way it does without me having ever played a Monster Hunter game. Or in other words, that I was able to love the piece of himself that he shared in this rip.

May I request a Suicune/Entei/Raikou!MC and them telling their story of how they were rejuvenated by Ho-Oh?

TWISTED WONDERLAND X POKEMON

TWST react to the legend of Ho-Oh {Suicune/Entei/Raikou MC}

"Long ago, during the time of constant warring, there were two towers that the people of Ecruteak city had built,The Bell tower and the Brass tower"

"The Bell tower is where Ho-Oh, guardian of the skies, reside"

The said pokemon soared through the skies with its colorful wings spread wide up in the sky.

"While Lugia, guardian of the seas, rested upon the Brass tower"

"These two towers attracted the two legendary pokemon, where it had became a place where people can commune with these pokemon and where peace can be bring among both species of human and gijinka. They worhiped while also admiring, loving and acquisitivly furnishing these two towers"

"Until-"

*BOOM!*

"Aaaah!"

You blinked at your friend's reaction upon hearing the sound of thunder from outside the Ramshackle dorm.

Some had jumped and let out a scream, while others had taken shalter under their pillows and blankets or anyone beside them upon hearing the roar of thunder.

"Tch" Leona look at everyone in the living room with a glare in he's eyes "its just thunder".

"Ahem" Sebek coughed as he compose himself from embarrassingly jumping onto Silver whem the lighting struck "Of course I know! I was just unaware of the storm approaching outside!"

Leona rolled he's eyes as everyone else quickly composed themselves aswell from the jump they had.

You see, today is your anniversary of being in Twisted Wonderland for atleast a year and some of your friends thought of giving you a suprise. With the storm outside reminding you how you came to be, you thought of giving them the story of how you amd your fellow trio members were came back to life.

Your status, species and where you had come from had intrigued every one of your friends when you had told them the truth. They all wouldn't have inagine, yet cant help but agreed, that you are one of the legendary ones in your home world.

The first ones to have discovered was the Adeuce and Grim.

Though, Malleus was the first one to have indirectly guess that you are of someone with great piwer without you sayibg anythibg upon first meeging eachother.

"Apologies for the sudden spook (Suicune/Entei/Raikou)" Vil apologize on everyone's behalf "You may continue".

"Yeah!" Grim shouted with a can of tuna in hand "Continue the story?!When did you came back to life anyway?! Just go to that part already!"

You rolled your eyes at Grim's usual unpatient behavior "In due time, Grim. In due time" the monster only huffed yet didnt say anyfurter as you resume your story telling.

"Where was I? Oh yes..."

"Until a lightning had struck the Bell tower on one faithful night. The lightning had cause a great fire, a fire so great that it had engulfed the whole tructure in a mighty inferno"

"Oh how terrible!" Rook exclaim grimly "What an awful scenario to have happen to such beautiful architecture. Being englufed by a powerful fire..."

"But not as great as mine" Grim boasted.

"Not now Grim" You, Ace and Deuce said to the cat monster.

"But still" Ace turn towards you "Where did you fit into this? You did say that you were resurrected during that flame, were you saving someone there?"

You shook your head solemly at that guess, remmebering the heat and burning touch of the flames that had grazed your skin during that time "No...no one had came to save us".

"Save us?" Epel questioned until it had hit him and slowly, everyone else followed on what that statement you had said have been implied to.

"Wait, you mean..." a nod was all they need to know that what they had thought.

"Yes" you nodded.

"During the burning, me and the other two of our trio were traped at the raging flames. We have no way out so...we perished among the burning wood and ashes of the bell tower"

"(Suicune/Entei/Raikou)..." Kalim didnt know what else to say, to hear that such a tragic end that he's friend had gone through "Oh (Suicune/Entei/Raikou)!"

"Oof!"

"Kalim!"

Jamil shouted upon the sudden action of the young heir hugging you out of no where with tears in he's eyes "Get off of them!"

Everyone sweatdropped at the scene.

"Were sorry that we had asked!" Kalim aplogize rather loudly as Jamil pulled him off of you " We should have known!"

You wave it off "No need to worry, Kalim. I quite use to it to be honest" It was kinda true.

You sometimes watch in disguse of various plays around Johto about the tale of Ho-Oh from long ago. Though it may be long ago that you have been given a second chance, that faithful night is always engrave to your mind during some days and nights upon remembering how you had once suddenly perished.

"But still, (Suicune/Entei/Raikou)" Malleus had spoke "That mustve been quite a horrible experience to remember by".

"It is" you agreed sadly at the

"I didnt know exactly what had happened next but I do know that soon after, a great rain had poured down onto the raging flames of the bell tower, eventually extinguishing the fire. We were already dead when the fire had died down but Ho-Oh, out of saddness and disgrace, had descended down amidst the destruction and had bestow life upon us once again. We have became the representation of the lightning that had struck, the flame that engulfed and the rain that extinguished"

"Ho-Oh is sure is a strong beast" commented Jade "To have the magic to resurrect life...that is quite impressive"

"Indeed" Malleus agreed, very well aware that giving life back to the dead is quite a hard feat to do and not very easy that not even he can do with he's current magic.

"Fufufu~ it seems there is more to you than we think, Prefect" chuckled the vice prefect of Diasomnie.

"Yes" Vil nodded "you power is certainly quite strong, even strong enough to rival Malleus" and that was saying something "yet also agreeable of what you meant by some people thinking that Ho-Oh is nothing more than a myth"

"But here I am" you proudly stated with your head held high and back positioned to give you a rather powerful look at how you had become now "And Ho-Oh does exists...waiting for me and my fellow comrades to see that humans, pokemon and gijinkas leave in corporation and harmony for it to return"

"Do you think that will ever happen soon?" Jack asked out of curiosity.

"..."

You arent so sure to be honest. Your job was to watch and observe the activities among the species of your world to see if cooperation had come between them all, yet through those long years, you never wished or even hoping of when that will come.

The minute you and your friends have been revived, many of the citizens quickly had thrown rocks at you, holding sticks and have writtened despise on their facial expressions that it was the cause of your wariness among humans and even gijinkas.

But you knew better that there others like some children arent spiteful.

All you knew was to wait for the time has come.

"Time will tell, Jack Howl, Time will tell" you calmly reply "After all, Ho-Oh revives us for a reason and we will serve that reason until it is complete".

"Such admirable devotion, (Suicune/Entei/Raikou)!" Sebek shouted " I highly respect you of your loyal to the one who had graciously saved you!!"

"Hush, Sebek" the said guard in training quickly quiet himself when you immediately said that.

After all, he didnt want to have the same consequence like last time.

Especielly from a Legendery Pokemon like you.

Okay, finally back...! I'm home and everything, but it took a LONG, long time to actually get to a position where I can post again, SHEESH...you have no idea what happened. This one's a long one, so I'm putting it under a cut. Jayden, Guy, Gen, I mentioned you here, so please look under there for where that mention is.

(OOC) Back to business as usual, hopefully...! Pelipper Mail is back on and everything is available. Sorry for vanishing for so long!

So after flying back from Mistralton City, work IMMEDIATELY came breathing down my neck because of how I ended up leaving out of nowhere. Which, you know, the league couldn't BLAME me, but still, what I did was...extremely reckless. And really bad for planning around shit.

BUT! But. Nothing happened in my absence. Nothing fucking happened until WE GOT COMPLAINTS FROM THE POWER PLANT. So all of us had to gear up and set out in case Zapdos was acting up, and then it turns out...Voltorb. Lots of Voltorb. So many Voltorb. And ONE. ELECTRODE.

And then there was this guy who talked about how we managed to beat them--because we DID, we just had to fight the Electrode because they were an honorable sort--and some guy was like, "oh man, we really just got bailed out by some guy with three fingers", which, first of all, rude, second of all, what does that matter? I was gonna brush it aside, but then Shia took extreme offense to that on my behalf, and she launched into this whole tirade against the guy...

All of that and a few days' worth of travel (we really didn't wanna fly again and the Magnet Train was down), and we get back to Ecruteak City...only to find out that the multiverse internet we were using COMPLETELY GLITCHED and kicked us off for a while! What the HECK. Pallas had to work at this for WEEKS to get us back, cross-referencing Persephone and trying to get us back online...and now, we're BACK. I missed a LOT, I think.

The Pelipper Mail packages that were being held for us got here just fine, thank goodness...thank you so much, @thatoneguy031, @jayden-the-popplio, your gifts got here just fine (Guy's was very helpful for me, and Pallas loves Jayden's), and everyone else I couldn't say things to over Delibird day, I'm sorry we couldn't talk more! Apologies to Jayden especially...we were trying to discuss something and that's more or less when the internet died.

And @goldenrodchef! I'm okay and all. Didn't mean to make you and the other eebies worry about me when things went silent. I'll be trying to hop on the groupchat with some decent regularity soon, Pallas says it should work fine.

Here's hoping everything continues to work for the foreseeable future!

General relationship hcs for Morty, Steven, Wallace, and Volkner with gn s/o?

similar to the last one, i'll be splitting this into 2 parts. first will be morty & volkner bc i wanna keep our fave gen iii boys together :,)

characters: morty (gen ii/iv), volkner (gen iv).

content: gn reader, established relationship, feel-good stuff all the way through. reader is a pokemon trainer, but their full occupation is unspecified in both morty & volkner's hcs.

tw: none.

MORTY

the two of you meet in ecruteak city at the bell tower. morty sees how stunning you are, and immediately uses his world-famous pickup line: "i'm able to see the future, and what i see is the two of us together."

he's absolutely a cheerful, flirty partner who never relents on pickup lines no matter how long you've been dating. everyday is a new adventure because this man has so much energy.

"morty, where are we going?" you ask, exasperated as he pulls you along the cobblestone paths in ecruteak. it's autumn, his favorite season, and his partner pokemon, gengar, is running alongside you. he looks over his shoulder and grins. "there's a new place i want to show you! it's almost as stunning as you, my will-o-wisp!" as he watches your lips curl into a bright smile, he laughs and begins running faster, excited to see how you'll react to seeing this new place in person.

even though he's obvious with his feelings (the man thinks he's smooth, but when he's in love, he can never stop nervously laughing at every joke you make and always finds an excuse to touch you), you have to make the first move. i imagine his confidence is a facade; deep down, being groomed to take over the gym after his parents, and many people generally being suspicious of him because of his love for ghost-type pokemon, has left a lot of scars and trust issues.

but when you do start dating, physical touch becomes his go-to love language. draping himself over your shoulders, holding your hand, wrapping an arm around your waist—PDA has become an integral part of your relationship.

of course, tell him if it makes you uncomfortable, and he'll tone it down in public. but when you're in private, cuddling is a must.

gengar becomes an integral part of your relationship, too. the pokemon is actually more mischievous than his trainer, leading to more than a few...incidences.

you stand in the kitchen, humming to yourself as you cut up some vegetables for dinner. morty is directly to your right, boiling water on the stove and dancing to the song you're singing. a chill runs down your back, and you look down. you shriek as you see your shadow begin moving around, jumping back into morty, who catches you. "gengar!" you yell, scowling as the purple ghost-type leaves your shadow and appears in the kitchen, snickering and pretending to act innocent. morty laughs, and despite your annoyance (the surprise made you drop the knife, meaning you'd have to spend extra time cleaning it before you could finish dinner) you couldn't help but laugh, too. "one day, i'll get used to it!" you exclaim. "i mean, i don't mind being your knight in shining armor," morty teases. gengar makes kissy noises behind his stubby little hands.

VOLKNER

you meet volkner in the midst of his burnout. after a lot of prodding and poking, he finally agrees to battle you in a friendly training match—and is electrified by your presence.

he's not the most cuddly person in the world. PDA is incredibly limited, and when you're home, you have to initiate most of what you do. what he does enjoy, though, is taking care of you: cooking you food, giving you massages when you come home stressed, making sure laundry is folded and put away as soon as it finishes.

i imagine you have to pull him away from his work often. having made so many things in sunyshore, volkner is out late at night, making sure everything is still working.

you walk into vista lighthouse, and finally find volkner on the observation deck, overlooking the city. "hey, it's getting late," you say, coming over to him and putting a hand on his back. "i know," he replies. "just...thinking. i'll be back home soon." you shake your head. "no, sir," you tease. "'soon' is going to turn into coming back at sunrise. let's get you some tea and a good book to read, okay?" he stares at the moon, high above the ocean. "but what if something happens?'" he asks. "and what if i'm not here to fix it?" "dear, you've got to stop worrying about things like that. eventually, something will happen, but you can't fix it if you're not in fighting shape, right?" with that logic, he finally relents and lets you guide him back down. he kisses your cheek, apologizing and promising to make you breakfast first thing in the morning.

volkner is someone who appreciates intelligence. even if you're not as well-read as him, he likes talking things out with you: schematics for new projects, battle strategies, new inventions he'd like to make someday. listen to him ramble, ask questions, and give him your input if you feel confident. he'll appreciate it no matter what you do.

when flint comes by and they have their occasional battles, it's like a totally different version of volkner. he's energetic and passionate as he comes up with different ways to catch flint off guard, and every time he does, he immediately looks to you like he's trying his best to impress you.

"luxray, use thunder fang on magmortar's arm!" flint's eyes widen as volkner's partner pokemon grabs magmortar by the arm and crushes it between its electrified fangs. magmortar grunts and tries to throw luxray off. "now, throw him to the ground!" luxray goes back onto his hind legs, managing to pull magmortar with him, and throws him down. the force is enough to crack the floor, and flint chuckles. "you never run out of ideas, do you?" volkner's not paying attention to flint, though. he stares off into the stands, making direct eye contact with you, and grins. you roll your eyes and cup your hands around your mouth. "pay attention to the battle!" "right, right," volkner says, turning back to the field as magmortar gets back up. "don't worry! i'm just getting started!"

Today marks the two year anniversary of me endlessly stanning Eusine and Morty by complete accident of me googling “Ecruteak City”. Thank you sacredshipping for being the best thing to happen to my artistic career.

⭐️🤍💛🧡❤️ 🩷 🎈💚💙💜🤎🖤⭐️

You clicked on this and now you will be subjected to my backstory and feelings with this ship. (If you asked why I like this ship elsewhere there’s barely anything new here sorry lol)

When this couple had its heyday on Bulbagarden forums ~12 years ago I absolutely did not care for them. I didn't get the appeal whatsoever, I thought they were both own'd losers who were just friends and nothing more. I did think they had some cool fanart but that was it. Silver in any iteration was my favorite Johto character at the time and I was all into Silver/Lyra or Ethan or PreciousMetalshipping, the last ship being my goto ship to make my whole personality at the time. Nothing about them really "clicked" to me until I started watching HGSS longplays for PleinAirpril references back in 2021. Somehow just the mere image of seeing them together in the Burned Tower and thinking about Eusine and Morty for more than 5 seconds was enough to make go "oh shit they're gay." And lo and behold I'm stuck here 2 years later stanning this damn ship. I mean that last sentence in the most cheeky way possible since it's obvious at this point that MinaMatsu/Sacredshipping makes me so happy and I want to draw them forever. I got to do so many fun new things with my art and meet so many kind people because of my crazy dedication to them...I owe a lot to them.

I guess what really makes MinaMatsu work for me is the fact they're essentially the same character. They both start out confident in achieving their goals, get their egos put in check by the player (Eusine just refuses to lose right away) and ultimately fail to obtain their goal. Obviously what makes them fun is their opposing personalities. Morty takes a more passive, introverted approach to meeting Ho-oh with his secret training believing he can become the person that is worthy of it. One day he'll become the strongest and coolest Ghost-type trainer to have ever live and Ho-oh will go "wow he's so cool" and swoop down from the heavens before him. Meanwhile Eusine decides he's already worthy of Suicune, will show the entirety of Johto and Kanto his fixation of it, and will chase it down and give it no choice but to chose him. No one else had his undying dedication to track down Suicune, did they? No need to train like Morty does, Eusine got all of the worthiness in the world. They have clashing personalities and yet they're still good friends which is so sweet. It's just so heartwarming to see men with similar goals and different perspectives on how to obtain that goal just get along and enjoy each other's company. Perfect harmonious duality. I'm not going to go too much into how I see others interpret them but when I see people headcanon them as rivals or them secretly not liking each other (groan) because of how they behave I'm just like...why. If you want a rival-to-lovers m/m relationship in pokemon, Reguri and Raihan x Leon is Right There. That's a whole new ship. Morty never says anything demeaning about Eusine’s endeavors or Eusine himself in his in-game calls to the player. (No, Morty saying he doesn't care for Suicune that much unlike Eusine doesn't count.) Morty literally leaves his place of work to be with Eusine in the Burned Tower. Clair has definitely yelled at him for that. That's not "he secretly hates Eusine" behavior y'all but I actually played the games so idk.

Ok ok back on topic now that I pissed off somebody out there. I just love how they're both mystical freaks. Morty having this supernatural connection to Ghost-type Pokemon and his strange abilities to foresee possible futures and communicating to ghosts just makes him an easy character for me to fall in love with. Weirdo probably hangs out more without dead people than living ones. Eusine being...Like That and his bottomless desire to research every aspect of Ecruteak City's past and be Suicune's friend is also fun to watch. Suicune please say Eusine is cool its what Granddaddy Eusine would want. Masters EX does confirm that Morty once lived in a sheltered world and didn't have many friends - must be hard when you're the freak of the week - so it's possible that Eusine is the person he's closest to. And why wouldn't he be? They both otherworldly guys that chased a lifelong dream and failed, but at the end of it all they still have each other. It's a nice touch that the HGSS credits have them walking together chasing (presumably) another Suicune...they'll probably never give up on anything as long as they have each other. Their dreams will never turn into nightmares when they're together.

Like a perfect couple they complete each other...if they melted and fused together they'll be the gayest most powerful mystical freak that both Ho-oh and Suicune would have to recognize as worthy. I don't know where that thought came from but I'm keeping it. They're puzzle pieces I guess is what I'm getting at. I could go into how cute they are in Pokespe, the gay anime episode, and how Masters EX basically confirmed Morty idolized Eusine more than anybody (I think I rather wait until Eusine get implemented before I dive into that), and how Fall Morty is the both the worst and best possible thing to ever happen to me since his design alone immortalized my MinaMatsu mania but I'm keeping this babble as short as possible and ending it here.

I just want a give a big thank you those who drew this ship for me whether it be gift art, art trades or commissions...I want to make a silly little booklet or some type of showcase page with all the art you lot have given me. I haven't set my mind on anything just yet. I cherish everything here so much.

Counterclockwise from Top Left to Bottom Right - @/nitunio, @/ghoasttoasties, @/lalalettie on Twitter, @/plushiesnextdoor on IG, and @/northernmei on IG Uhhhh I should leave you with a little something for reading all of that junk…here’s a little preview of what I got in the works

Ok that’s it bye I should log out

Pokemon Gyms and whether my wheelchair user player character would be able to navigate them

Pewter City: Straight line on some cobblestones. Compared to the rest of this bullshit, this is luxury. Brock needs to come down off his staircase throne at the end of the corridor though.

Cerulean City: Yes. Mans can just scoot scoot around the edge of the pool. Misty has to come down to meet him though, she’s also on a staircase throne.

Vermilion City: Once he gets past the initial ‘what the fuck’ of the thunder barrier, as long as the bins are spaced out enough he’s fine. Doesn’t appreciate rummaging through trash though. At least mans isn’t on a staircase throne this time.

Celadon City: Depends entirely on how much tree is actually left after using cut.

Fuchsia City: He can make it through, but after about the third time of bumping into an invisible wall he’ll be real sick of this shit.

Saffron City: Runs entirely on little teleporters. Gucci.

Cinnabar Island: I never got to Blaine in LeafGreen but it looks like a straight shot.

Seafoam Island: Wouldn’t even be able to enter the gym in the first place. Can’t climb ladders.

Viridian City: Would probably develop motion sickness from all the spinning but I think he can navigate this one.

Violet City: I wouldn’t feel confident navigating the sharp turns 50 feet in the air walking, never mind trying to manoeuvre a chair through them. He can do it, but he won’t be at all comfortable.

Azalea Town: Stairs right at the entrance. Motherfucker.

Goldenrod City: Hard nope. Multiple steep staircases. Fuck you, Whitney

Ecruteak City: Morty, I love you, but the narrow walkway entirely in darkness over the void to hell isn’t exactly able bodied person friendly, never mind this-

Cianwood City: Another hard nope, those stairs look homophobic

Olivine City: Another straight walkway with an elevated leader. She’s definitely nice enough to meet him halfway too.

Mahogany Town: Ice gyms as a whole are bad. Not sure how well the chair will do on the ice (do you want to slip and skate or have traction?) and in Vernon’s case he is paralysed from the waist down so his lower body isn’t great at the whole temperature regulation thing. He’s definitely learning about winter’s harshness, thank you. Compared to the other ice gyms this one is pretty chill though.

Blackthorn City: The warning of unstable footing at the start is worrying, but the puzzle itself can be done.

Rustboro City: It’s all ramps until you get to the almighty stair throne, so okay. Also he’s absolutely stopping to look at the little museum.

Dewford Town: Give him enough room between all the exercise shit and we’re gucci

Mauville City: More of these random electric death walls? Eh whatever, the floor’s level at least. ... NEVER MIND I FOUND MORE STAIRS

Lavaridge Town: What the fuck. Fuck you.

Petalburg City: Doesn’t seem to pose any problem, yay!

Fortree City: I don’t think he’s getting in, dear.

Mossdeep City: Y’know what? All this floating around is pretty cool, actually

Sootopolis City: WALLACE YOU MOTHERFUCKER WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS

Oreburgh City: Ah yes. Vernon’s actual home region serving him an immediate slap in the face with steep ass stone stairs. Wonderful.

Eterna City: Ahh, so peaceful, so chill, such a vibe. Maybe there is hope after all.

Veilstone City: Goodbye hope, hello whatever the fuck I have to push and a lot of stairs before you even enter the gym itself-

Pastoria City: Besides this being the weirdest fucking swimming pool I’ve ever seen, it’s another fuck you to wheelchair users. Though Vernon can swim, so if there’s a clear path from the entrance to the leader via the water he can make it, he’s just going to have to fight the battle soaking wet, in a swimsuit and on the floor.

Hearthome City: As long as you can do maths, you’re alright.

Canalave City: He can navigate it but those super speed lifts are giving him motion sickness for sure.

Snowpoint City: He’s dead now. He fell down the stairs right into the massive piles of snow and suffocated.

Sunyshore City: It’s another hard nope, and I had high hopes when I saw the catwalks-

Striaton City: No problem no worries, Hakuna Matata.

Nacrene City: As long as someone can get the books down for him he’s good.

Castelia City: Pushing through the gooey shit will be annoying but it is possible as long as it doesn’t gunk up the wheels too bad.

Nimbasa City: It’s possible, but only if someone brings his wheelchair round to where he’s getting off the rollercoaster, or the chair can go on the coaster.

Driftveil City: Lifts and scaffolding? Okay. Random staircase right at the very bottom? Not okay.

Mistralton City: The cannons themselves are fully disability friendly. The stairs are not. So close.

Icirrus City: I’m giving this one a no. Even without the stairs, that jump, the fuck? We’re not all stunt ready actors, sir.

Opelucid City: The path is narrow and winding, but it has cool trick ramps and that’s a win in Vernon’s book! But also there’s stairs so 0/10

Aspertia City: Straight shot with a stair throne. Cheren you patronising cunt, get your ass down here.

Virbank City: Stairs right at the beginning. They’ll never hear him scream.

Humilau City: Getting on and off the lilypads looks like a pain, it might be easier to swim it again. Also it looks like you need a lot of momentum to move those pads.

Santalune City: He’s fucking dead again.

Cyllage City: Grant what the French fried fuck is this?

Shalour City: Yeah no this is impossible. Sorry, buddy.

Coumarine City: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. I can't fucking do this shit with fully functional legs.

Lumiose City: Finally one we can fucking do. Thank you, puntable looking children.

Laverre City: The warp panels are annoying but mountable.

Anistar City: Trippy as fuck and totally doable!

Snowbelle City: Fuck this disco fuckery.

Turffield: Ignoring the stairs in and out (rage), we can handle herding some Wooloo. Git along lil tumbleweeds!

Hulbury: So anyway I don’t like Nessa-

Motostoke: So again ignoring the stairs in it’s totally doable-

Stow-On-Side: Can transfer in and out of the spinny cups, but someone has to bring the chair down while he does it.

Circhester: Fuck you and your pitfalls.

Ballonlea: OLD LADY HAS RAMPS YAY

Spikemuth: What a nice wheelchair friendly street!

Hammerlocke: I forget if you can actually get in the room, but hey it’s just double battles, sweet.

Cortondo: The olive roll is possible.

Artazon: May depend entirely on where the Sunflora choose to hide. The gym itself is elevated up some stairs though so...

Levincia: All you have to do is sit there and look at some cameras and look pretty for the fans.

Cascarrafa: The trek through the desert to get Kofu’s wallet back to him ain’t gonna go well, but this is supposedly not the usual pre battle challenge so ehh.

Medali: The stage at the treasure eatery is a whore but everything else is fine.

Montenevera: Once again, access to the stage and the gym itself are whores. He’s gonna pet all the ghost dogs though.

Alfornada: You just gotta make faces for this one, right? Surely any other exercises Dendra and Tulip give you should be able to be adapted for the disabled anyway.

Glaseado: Uhhh the snow slope run is done on the back of a Pokemon as far as I remember so it should be fine.

#pokemon #pokemon gym #oc #MC: Vernon #gym leader oc #kanto #johto #hoenn #sinnoh #unova #kalos #galar #paldea #disability #My disability though mobility based does not put me in a wheelchair #so if I've horribly mistaken or misrepresented something apologies in advance #But also it's fair that in this case it's if Vernon specifically would be able to get through these #As it stands Sinnoh and Kalos appear to be the least accessible

I literally posted Kage and then did nothing with him and his sister. They desperately needed me to have more thought into their designs and personalities, so here we are with round 2 on them. I think I'll add some main personality traits to all my ocs?

Name: Kage (kah-gay) Fujiwara

Height: 5'8" (172 cm)

Weight: 195 lbs (88 kg)

Birthday: April 26th

Current Residence: Nacrene, Unova

Main Personality traits: Blunt, Intimidating, Caring, Selfless, Dedicated

Likes: Cooking, baking, food decorations, taking care of pokemon, collecting Subway Boss merch

Dislikes: Selfishness, punks, shoes on in house

Fears: His past causing troubles to those he cares about

Name: Chiyo Fujiwara

Height: 3'9" (114 cm)

Weight: 53 lbs (24 kg)

Birthday: January 5th

Current Residence: Nacrene, Unova

Main Personality Traits: Passionate, Cry-baby, Caring

Likes: Books, Drawing, helping her big brother at work, taking care of her runt Sewaddle, Exploring in Pinwheel Forest with Professor Webb

Dislikes: Rainy days, spicy food

Fears: ghost and dark type pokemon, the dark

Born and raised in Ecruteak City, Kage had a difficult childhood. He dropped out of high school to take care of his mom at 16 cause his dad was a dead beat. His father would come back when he was 19 but left shortly after Kage’s Mom became pregnant again when he was 22. His mother sadly passed away during childbirth, which left raising Chiyo, his little sister, up to Kage.

From there, Kage joined Team Rocket because stealing money gave a more sustainable food source for him and his little sister. He felt terrible for being such a bad example to his little sister and he wanted a better life for her. This ultimately led to his decision in helping an Interpol agent get inside Team Rocket. After helping him round up remnants of Team Rocket, the Interpol agent helped Kage and his sister into a witness protection program when Kage was 26 and his sister was 4.

The program would place them in Unova and set up arrangements for him to meet a local professor, Dr. Calhoun Webb, about a possible job. Despite his lack of experience with bug-types, Calhoun was impressed by Kage’s dedication and determination and accepted him on as a Research Assistant working at his bug sanctuary.

Now at 28 he mostly stays at the Webb Bug-Type Sanctuary and Research Center in Unova, located right next to Pinwheel Forest, where he takes care of all the rescued bugs from around the world. Cal has a very open-door policy for employees' children (due to understanding being a sole caretaker himself) so when Chiyo isn’t at school, she’s able to be with Kage at work.

Work uniform:

Extra bits:

Kage would mostly pick on people he knew had money to spare. Also, he’d try to go for someone easily intimidated because his houndour, Mochi, isn’t the best to frighten someone when battling. (She is a good girl and loves to make friends)

Chiyo’s Sewaddle is a runt baby that needs special care in the form of being fed mushed leaves in a bottle due to being too weak to properly get food on her own. She was originally being taken care of by Kage, but Chiyo begged to be able to take care of her and Kage relented. Chiyo named her teeny <3

Bio

(FULL NAME)

GENERAL

Name: Aruna Aiko

Name Meaning(s): Loving Moon

Nickname(s): Ai

Gender: Female

Age: 17 despite her height

Birthday: 5/6

Height: 4′4

Weight: 85 pounds

Hometown: Ecruteak City

Region: Originally Johto, but moved to Kanto

Goal: Preserve the peace within Lavender Tower

Quote: “You can either respect the dead, or you can return to them.”

Starter: Ghastly.

APPEARANCE

Other: As stated above, Aruna has a stunted growth issue. Chronologically, she’s 17 years old, however, at the time of her accidental electrocution, that shock ended up making her look like she’s 14 or lower.

PERSONALITY/TRAITS

Voice: Ina

Singing Voice:

BACKSTORY

After her electrocution incident, Aruna, at first, felt like her entire set of goals were all over. Just when she was well and prepared to give up altogether…a small smoky wisp approached the young girl. The Gastly was much smaller than its other counterparts. Her first assumption was that this Pokemon has recently passed. Whatever the reason, That Gastly brought Aruna a great deal of comfort and joy.

When she had finally recovered from her more serious injuries, Aruna threw herself back into her training but now she had a little friend by her side~ As the years rolled on and the young girl was finally of legal age to become an official Trainer, there was no other Pokemon she felt more deserving to be her Starter.

Those precious moments, both past and future are what set Aruna on the path to dedicating herself to Ghost Pokemon. She did have some snags here and there with a few select Gyms, but she pushed forward and stuck to her guns. Gastly soon became Haunter, and finally Gengar thanks to the assistance of her Father.

By the time Aruna had made her way to Blackthorne, a thought began to fill her head. “…Is this really what I want?” She had gone through 7 of the 8 Gyms and each time the first thought through her mind was “I want to be on the other side.” That’s when it hit her. The ship in Olivine City was much too pricy, but the Magnet Train was perfectly within her budget. The only thing standing in her way was the Dragon Master herself.

It took several attempts on Aruna’s part but in the end she managed to just narrowly scrape by and earn her final badge. With all that set, she made a beeline to the Magnet Train Station after going home to prepare for her trip and give her goodbyes to her friends and family. Before leaving however…Morty himself granted Aruna with a single gift. A…teacup? No! A little Pokemon! She wasn’t too sure who the little happy teacup was, but Aruna welcomed them to the team with open arms.

All that was left was to depart to Kanto. As soon as she reached Saffron City, Aruna bolted to Lavender as fast as she could, expecting to see what she had always seen in the pictures and stories. Needless to say…she was deeply disappointed in what she saw. Not only was the entrance itself nothing like what she had seen, but all this pointless radio equipment was strewn about in a place that was originally meant to be a Pokemon’s final resting place! Honest anger was a rarity for the young Trainer, but in this case she was absolutely livid.

But, as it stood, Aruna had no leverage to actually move them out. And as angry as she was, the last thing she wanted was to jeopardize someone’s livelihood. For the next three years or so she worked towards earning the right to become a Gym Leader, the first step was establishing a building to use as her base of operations. What better spot than the Tower itself. That was indeed where she felt the most at peace after all. But before that, Aruna met with both Sylph Co. and Sabrina as well to work out a relocation deal. In exchange for them taking both the radio equipment and the workers themselves, she’d take up the mantle of maintaining income within Lavender Town via her Leader position.

When it was all said and done, Aruna made true on her word. She kept the first floor as it was, but the upper floors onward were all returned to their respective original state. Save for the upper floor…

The wide untouched area near the center was made into Aruna’s battle zone, while still maintaining a good distance away from the graves themselves.

With her Gym finally set in stone, all Aruna had to do now was wait and accept any and all challengers…

Why do you help Sabrina? Isn't she strong enough on her own?

"She's plenty strong - but everyone needs help sometimes."

He shrugs a bit, scratching idly at his cheek and neck as he speaks. He looks almost bored.

"Psychics and supernaturalists like us, it's hard to find someone who just understands what you deal with. Even if she doesn't know exactly my struggles as a medium and I don't know her specifics with the extent of her abilities, it's easier to exist when someone at least can help shoulder some of that weight.

Besides that, we're both young and in the League circuit. We're kind of opposites in our places - Saffron City couldn't be further from Ecruteak City in style and aesthetics, but we're still young leaders with a lot to take care of.

I love her a lot, plain and simple. So of course I help her."

#prestochange #sabrina is one of the few people matsuba says outloud that he loves so <3

-- RP: @skullboneandunown

skullboneandunown:

Dr. Mccoy lets out a laugh at Lucky's face, and steps aside so everyone can greet each other. A few of the magical students watch as the group heads toward their headmasters office, and then go back to their activities. A Blissey takes notice of them however, and waves with her lil hand. Donovan sets down the folder he was reading from, and greets Lucky with a pat to his head. "Heya Lucky! How's it going, bud?" Both Xavier and Mccoy give a how of their heads in return to Kumiko, with Dr. Mccoy saying his goodbyes for now. "I apologize, but I must be going. I've got a class to teach. Please, if you have any questions while you're here, do not hesitate to ask the teachers and staff. They'll all be....well most of them will be happy to help how they can." With that, he departs, closing the doors with a gentle click. Donovan lets out a soft "Oof!" As Willow makes herself at home on his lap, and ruffles her hair a bit. "Heya, Little Sprout! How are you liking the place so far? I admit, it's a bit intimidating at first, but you'll come to love the place!" His face changes to an annoyed expression, and stares at the parents. "Teenagers. Some of them are a bit...edgy. Think that they're all that because they go to school here." Professor Xavier nods and sighs. "Unfortunately, that's something that won't stop anytime soon. I apologize." He smiles brightly as they hope to enroll her soon. "We don't have a set policy about students having Pokemon. Some of our students have at least one to help with homesickness, or with stress. The only real rule we have is the size limitations. Can't have a Snorlax or a Wailord destroying the halls, can we?" Donovan points to some things around the office, explaining them to Willow. The sound of a pokeball popping is heard, and in a flash the Professor's Alakazam greets them with a bow. His whiskers are a faded white at the ends, showing his advanced age. Xavier motions to him. "This is Darwin. He is to me what Lucky is to you, my ace. He's been by my side ever since we were children. I can hope what her partner chooses to be can have a bond that rivals you and your partners." His gazes softens and he looks to the plush in Willow's hands. "I can assure you that Logan won't tolerate anyone bullying her. As much of a standoffish man he is, he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students."

While pleasantries were made and Willow babbled to Donovan about her birthday coming up next month and how she wanted to wear the 'pretty dresses' that were in his home city of Ecruteak and 'see the show that the pretty ladies put on to talk about the two towers', Ashe and Leon tuned her out for just the time being to talk to Xavier.

"I think as long as she's kept away from older kids, for now, she'll be fine." Leon looked over to his wife, holding her hand gently. "What do you think, love?" Ashe pondered on it. "More or less. I have no reason to distrust Donovan about this place. It's got a much quieter and less intimidating atmosphere then Blueberry Academy." She sighs with a noise mixed in.

Ashe more or less felt out of questions to ask. She trusted Donovan on the schooling matter, but it was up to Willow now if this was where she wanted to go to school, but considering she was babbling to her godfather, squishing his facial features like a goldeen, Leon picked up where Ashe left off. "... If I might ask, what made you decide to open a school that was well, like this? Unova is one of the larger regions, but you're Galarian -- surely you considered opening one in Galar or other regions as well?"

((Just a lil gift for a very special bird today ❤️❤️ hope you like it @lustrous-dawn !! Totally not meant to be canon if you don’t wish it to be but he deserves all the love ever))

Ecruteak, it was a city she hadn’t really been to all that much. However as of late she had also begun to make the long journeys from her region to her student’s so as to make it less arduous on his glimmering wings.

She had gotten lost the first few times she left her region, but eventually she began to know the way by heart, making it all the easier to give her pupil the lessons she had promised.

Zhen had been quite the formidable student, especially as of late. Whether it was in Unova, or Johto, his determination was strong and she could see him hang on to every work she spoke. Every demonstration she gave he watched intently to the very end, and when it became time for him to practice his own skills he would try again and again until he got it right. Sometimes, on rougher days, it took him longer to get back up after failing to master a flame. She could see how his form would shrink in dispair, however a small break and some conversation back and forth would always help him to regain that spark.

He could do it, and each session he grew ever closer to his goal.

Passing through older buildings and humans who had grown to know the white deity’s form, she eventually made her way through the lush autumn wood that surrounded the Bell Tower. The bright oranges and yellows glowed in the rising sunlight, casting their hues onto the leaf-covered path. In her arms she carried a small satchel, the contents of which were meant only for him.

It was rather funny, she thought, how Zhen could have this glimmering effect on others. His ways easily began to rub off on her, and she would bring him plenty of gifts from Unova whenever she visited, as he often did for her when he could. The red haired man was a golden ray of sunshine, somehow being able to cus through the gloomiest of rain and make her smile somehow. It always baffled her that she was able to make someone so wonderous a friend.

It didn’t take her long to ascend the tower to where he stayed, peeking around as sneakily as she could until she found him. He seemed to be lost in thought, something she found him doing often. A quick knock on the polished wood however alerted him to her presence, crimson locks spinning with his head in her direction.

“Happy birthday Zhen! I hope it’s alright that I stopped by!” She said excitedly, giving a bright smile his way. “I brought some food but, I really wanted to just say how proud of you I am, You’ve come really far in your studies.” Walking to his side, she pulled out a small gem, heat radiating off of it in waves. “Unova is known for having many gemstones hidden within its caves, but only those who know where to look can find such a rare treasure.” Gently placing it in his hands she spoke once more. “Thank you for being such a wonderful and rare treasure.”

#reshi #pokemon #reshiram #zhen #ho-oh #zhen ho oh #he deserves a gift today #your honor i love zhen and want him to be happy #best lad
