Rotom are some of the most intelligent ghost type pokemon, able to understand human language and even speak it if they possess the right devices! Although upon the advent of this revelation, it has called into question the ethics of catching rotom and the way we treat them in modern society.

The difference between winning and losing in sport and the dominance of the win-at-all- costs approach could not be much more explicit than it is in the Olympics. This is the model of elite sport that we have come to accept, and one which affects youth sport and physical education, but the introduction of skateboarding at the 2020 Olympics bucked the trend by offering an attractive alternative. After the intensity of gymnastics, skateboarding presented a remarkable contrast for us, something that the Sydney Morning Herald described as a “joyous show of solidarity.” With participants very young, the camaraderie and joy expressed by winners and losers, and the empathy evident between them, it reminded us of what sport could, and should, be like. What struck us most was the joy of participation and the positive relationships between the competitors. We also noted the absence of animosity or fake friendliness and genuine support for any “losers” in a sport with a culture of mutual support. It was a pleasure to watch, and provided much needed hope for the Olympics, and sport in general. It also got us thinking about youth/community sport and physical education.

Thoughts on skulk?
BOY I SURE HAVE EM
hope you're ready for Minecraft Biology Class because you activated my trap card
TO BEGIN; I believe sculk is derived mainly from aquatic plantlife- this means things like kelp and seaweed, but also includes less 'cohesive' plants like duckweed (it is not weed for ducks im very sorry). As a result, any area overgrown with sculk is going to be humid and cold. Also, it does not smell good. It's like if you froze and then thawed rotting seaweed, with a hint of something metallic- not as intense, but you don't wanna get up close and personal with it yaknow.
While it has completely lost the ability to process light, it still has a limited capacity to absorb CO2 and nutrients from soil. It is unknown at this time if this is how it stays alive, or if it isn't alive in the first place.
Sculk carpet growth (the main block) is similar to moss in texture and appearance, but less 'carpet'-y due to the individual stalks being larger. Soft enough that you kind of sink into it a bit when walking, but firm enough that it's never going to steal your shoes about it. Some stalks store 'soul', or EXP, in a liquid state, creating those glowing dots. Don't ask me how that translates into green xp orbs I don't have an answer. bideo james.
Sculk veins look like something between common ivy/vines, and slime mold. The veins are less solid tubes and more like a very wet bundle of threads melding together, with some meeting points of several 'branches' storing EXP similar to the carpet. It isn't very hard to pull apart, and doesn't really seem to care if you do- it doesn't act like a damaged plant. There are some reports of them being capable of autonomous movement, but they have yet to be confirmed.
As previously implied, sculk is of artificial origin- emphasized by their ability to interface with redstone, and the fact that it cannot reproduce without a catalyst, which cannot be crafted. Though the records of those ancient cities lost to the sculk have long since decayed, the prevailing theory of the reason behind their creation is one of war. Reacting to noise and requiring no eyes makes it a solid counter to Endermen and their ilk, and the proximity of Deep Dark biomes to the Void, as well as the very name of the Warden, suggest an attempt to keep something contained- and it doesn't look like it was us.
Also, the Warden is my dad and I love him thanks for coming to my TEDtalk

Research Report
Anomaly SCP Number [REDACTED].
Danger level: Euclid
Name: Reginald Teller
Age: 60
Gender: Male
Upon examination of his blood, human and ████ DNA was found. It is therefore suspected that Mr. Teller is half human, half ████.
His height is 175 cm / 5'7". Due to enormous fluctuations, his body weight cannot be clearly measured.
Mr. Teller himself claims that his weight is "appropriate."
Mr. Teller is a man with graying hair and a full beard. He was once a scientist assigned to study SCP-[REDACTED], but since incident number ███, SCP-[REDACTED] has been neutralized and Mr. Teller acquired its capabilities.
Due to the previously mentioned incident number ███, Mr. Teller appears "nightmarish" to anyone who looks at him. Some subjects report that he would appear to them like a gigantic spider with a headless corpse hanging from it; others said he was an enormous black cloud with countless black hands sticking out of it.
Mr. Teller himself claims that he has hardly changed externally.
His abilities consist of being able to temporarily transform organic and non-organic matter into any object with the help of the shadow hands that grow from his shoulders. This process may be painless, but test subjects report a traumatizing experience and have tearfully begged for their memories to be erased afterwards.
Currently, Mr. Teller is in a secured office space in Sector ██, but is able to leave at any time. It is recommended that you should not approach him with hostility and should endure any sudden transformations until he has left. If memory wiping is needed, one should report to Ms. ████ in the ████████ department.
--
Anomaly SCP number [REDACTED]-A
Danger level: Euclid
Name: Stanley ████
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Stanley is a human male who looks average. He has an average height and weight. He is so normal and unremarkable that colleagues who talked to him forgot his face after a short time.
Aside from being unnaturally normal and average, Stanley has no special characteristics.
Since the containment breach ████-█ of ██.██.████, Stanley has been in the constant company of SCP-[REDACTED] Mr. Reginald Teller.
During interviews, it was found that Stanley regards SCP-[REDACTED] Mr. Teller as a "kind looking old man" and reacts in a confused manner when approached about the "nightmarish" appearance reported by various test subjects.
It is strongly discouraged to harm Stanley in any way, as SCP-[REDACTED] Mr. Teller reacts violently to any form of aggression.

Might as well introduce myself, hm? Greetings, I am Aluminum. I am a Pokémon Professor and researcher based in the fairly small Inscii region. I use he/it pronouns, as well as they/them on occasion. I don't research one thing in particular, as I enjoy pokéology as a whole. Though, I mainly research Insciian Pokémon and mythical Pokémon. Currently, I am researching Inscii's unusual legendary Pokemon, with the help of..... other "researchers". I'm not very into catching Pokémon, however, I do have a few myself: - Volt (Jolteon) - Pory (Porygon) - Cogsworth (Klinklang) - Liz (Cyclizar) - Fuecoco [unnamed] My ask box is always open, and I am more than happy to receive questions, or to chat. I am also legally obligated to state that I am a rotom. Not that it matters. [Important OOC under cut. Warning for long post.]
---------------------------------------------- Hello there, I am Lemon, and I (of course) run this blog. I use any pronouns, though, I keep a list of my preferred pronouns here. Any posts made by me will be tagged as "#ooc", and asks will be tagged as "#mail for the mod". This blog is based upon my Pokémon AU for the game "Inscryption" By Daniel Mullins. The blog follows an adapted version of it taking place in the regular Pokémon universe, rather than Inscryption's. Any material will be based upon or inspired by Inscryption, rather than directly pulled from it. Knowledge about Inscryption is absolutely not required. I do recommend playing it, though. Good game. This blog will mostly go by game lore, but will use some headcanons as well. Some of the more notable headcanons include:
Rotoms do not naturally age past maturity, and therefore do not die from old age. You have to kill a rotom for it to die. Like crabs.
Pokémon eggs have the pattern of the species within, much like how they're depicted in the anime. Certain circumstances can lead to eggs having the spotty pattern seen in the game, however, this is quite rare.
Professors primarily write Pokédex entries, though some often have teams who do it for them.
Catching legendary and mythical Pokémon is highly illegal without explicit government permission. Though, permission is only granted for research purposes and requires caught Pokémon to be released afterward.
Disguised Pokémon living among humans is a commonplace thing, however, there are laws surrounding it, as it is deemed dangerous (since, you know, wild animal). Any Pokémon that are found out are usually released into the wild, or dealt with in other humane ways. The law allows for some exceptions to continue to live among humans, though the qualifications are quite slim. Some reasons may include that the individual was important in some way, or that they have human children that are too young to live alone.
Mutations such as melanism, chimerism, vitiligo, heterochromia, etc. that cause cosmetic differences can happen in Pokémon. Of course, they are as rare as their real-world counterparts.
Most version-exclusive content from duos/trios are both canon, though only the events of one game happen. For example, both Naranja and Uva Academy exist, however, the protagonist and their friends only go to one of them. (Yes, yes I know this one goes against canon, but canon is not real and cannot hurt me <3) This list may be updated in the future.
Some other important info about the blog:
Terfs are not welcome here. I will block on sight.
I (Lemon) am a minor. Please do not be weird in my ask box, and feel free to block me if you don't feel comfortable about interacting with minors.
You may send me asks to answer OOC if you'd like. Just specify somewhere that it's for me and not Aluminum.
I have quite a bit of experience with Tumblr RP, most notably with the bus driver blogs (Bus Driver Universe)
Please do not send me spoilers for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. I, unfortunately, know a decent amount about the game and it's ending, but I would like to have SOME surprises left for when I play myself.
This blog will mainly take place on social media, as an in-universe Tumblr blog, though, roleplay of events "offline" is allowed.
Aluminum's posts will be tagged as "#research notes", and asks will be tagged as "#questions & observations"

Species spotlight: Harpies
Harpies are bird creatures of the Black and White, with human faces and any number of bird-like traits; for example, one could be a normal person with bird wings, while another could be a giant bird with a human face.
While “harpy” tends to be used as a derogatory term for an unfriendly woman, harpies can be of any gender, and are actually quite friendly (well, Subject O was, may her soul rest well).
THEY ESCAPED
TO THE GRAY
OLIVIA
IS NOT WITH US
Oh! Good to know, good to know.
Er, where was I? Oh yes. Harpies also display traits pertaining to their species — a cuckoo harpy might leave their children to another harpy to raise, while Subject O, an owl harpy, was considered rebellious for being awake during the day instead of the night.

Behold! My newest discovery! I am naming this creature a Quadpeidia! These intriguing fauna are found on Criptisius, seen mainly in the moutain ranges, high in the skies above where ground feeders roam.
The Quadpeidia have powerful lateral muscles, allowing them to take to the air faster than any ground preditor could lunge! Upon observing them for a few days, I've discovered their diet is completely comprimised of other animals excrement! Thats right! They use their highly specilised sense organs to dig through the fecal deposits of other creatures, sniffing out and consuming the nuitrients within! This may seem unsavory to those with a gentile disposition, but to me is facinating and unlike anything i've ever seen!
Tumblr media
The Quadpeidia weighs around 174.4kg and is 3.6m in length. Their body has a hard exoskelleton, not unlike the earth ant, which protects them from the elements and other creatures. The thorn like spines along their body act as form of self defence against eachother when fighting for mates! They wrap around their opponent and dig their spines into the others exposed flesh, grusome but extraordinary at the same time! The barbed tails are also used for the purpose of attracting a mate, the more bulbous the better! A large, engorged tail shows that this particular Quadpeidia is virile and healthy. Once mated, they stay together for life or until their partner dies, in which they will seek out a new mate.
Tumblr media
Additional field notes:
When injured it was clear to see that their blood is, in fact, bioluminescent.
These creatures are intersex, which allows them to pair and mate with any other Quadpeidia, maximising the chances of offspring

Magic Research notes
Of the domains of magic about four i have been able to place into simple domains. these i shall refer to the common domains of magic.
Domain of Energy the domain of energy consists of fire, ice and lightning. To add and remove energy from an object and to unbalance the energy values of two spaces to force a current of energy to surge from point to point. This is a Domain commonly used by mages and wizards alike.
Domain of Matter Earth, Water and air. the three simple states of matter. although some tell me of a secret fourth state known as plasma i know little of this viscous substance and will refer to it as slime until proper analysis. all solid forms of matter including wood, metal and dirt will fall under earth. however liquefied materials shall be referred to as water. As the matter in question does not matter compared to the operation and manipulation of the matter in question when iron is melted it functions as a thick liquid and thus water. and Steam, boiled water, being air. This Domain is often used by wizards, druids, shamans and some mages.
Domain of Soul  The strange Domain of soul is commonly used by priests warlocks and strange extra plainer creatures. It seemingly consists of Light, Shadow and Darkness. Light and Dark can be easily referred to as Creation and Destruction magic or even Holy and Unholy magic due to their functionality. Shadow magic is a strange domain that is hardly understood. It is beleived that shadow magic involves using the physical body to influence itself into behaving properly but such sits outside my own understanding currently.
Domain of Order Entropy, Nurture and Nature and even Time. The Domain of order is by far the most powerful of the Domains of common magic. Although it cannot be used to make explosions and fire balls it can be used to directly control and influence. This magic is possessed and wielded by all mortals, magical and non magical. The ability to bring order to what is often perceived to be uncontrollable. To whomever is reading this document. Yes you too posses power over Order.

Until very recently, Annihilape was considered an alternate form of Primeape instead of an evolution.
Annihilape are very calm, peaceful pokemon. Having spent their life in a state of constant rage, they're more than content with simply resting.

The Car Skate Video Connect
It is widely known that Iain Borden has the seminal text on skateboarding and his 2019 reboot consolidated this authority. But it is perhaps much less well known that Iain also wrote a fascinating book on the bond between film, cars, and landscape. Looking at a host of iconic movies and the way they give a feel to landscape, place and time.
The recent release of of Gilbert Crockett’s Denim Car got me thinking of the numerous times that cars make narrative contributions to skateboard videos. Jobs Never stood out as the most immediately analogous to Iain’s book. A dream project could be for Iain two mesh these two pursuits.
I put together a quick collage of some standout scenes in my own mind. I am sure there are many more.

Meadow Runoff, 1F
We’re back! We have surveyed the first floor of Meadow Runoff, and we’re here to share our findings!
First off, about my using of the term “first floor”: Thievul told me that mystery dungeons are divided up into “floors”. Apparently it’s quite literal, as I’m stopping by a staircase to write this! According to Thievul, nobody truly knows why mystery dungeons are like this. I hope that is something I can figure out during my research in this world!
As we entered the meadow, I felt a brief wave of nasuea, before realizing that my surroundings had completely changed. There were walls of dirt and flowers all around, and corridors between the walls leading off. The whole mystery dungeon seems to be composed of “rooms” and “corridors”, where rooms are large open areas, and corridors are the pathways between those areas. I will be using these terms from now on to describe mystery dungeons. In total, there were seven rooms on this floor.
We encountered a fair few Pokemon here, too! Though unlike the Pokemon outside this mystery dungeon, they were more like wild Pokemon back in my world, even going so far as to attack us on sight! I couldn’t understand them, either, and neither could Thievul it seems.
In total, on this floor, we encountered:
2 Hoppip
1 Skiploom
2 Sentret
1 Gossifleur
We also found several more supplies on this floor: More “Wonder Orbs”, according to Thievul, similar to my Connection Orb, but with different functions. We also found several odd seeds not seen in my world. Thievul said they know what they are, though I’ll have to ask them about them later.
I will be heading up the staircase once Thievul finishes their section.
- Cedar
Greetings, Thievul here. A few clarifications to Cedar’s section:
The “wild Pokemon” are known as dungeon Pokemon, and they often attack other Pokemon on sight. There are many theories as to why they do so, which I will state as we progress through Meadow Runoff.
Cedar attempted to talk to the first one we met, a Sentret, and it Tackled him after he said his hellos. He is very strange. I look forward to learning more about him.
One question I have is that Cedar does not know what mystery dungeons are. Does that mean they do not exist in the human world? Why is that? I hope to find the answer to that question through my research.
3 tiny reviver seeds
5 oran berries
1 stayaway wand, fully charged
1 one-shot orb
1 sunny orb
1 lasso orb
2 heal seeds
1 blast seed
1 totter seed
5 apples
1 progress device
Cedar and I shared an apple before writing this report, as to explain why we have one less apple now.
I will see you all on the next floor.

What does Colosio's son think?
Colosio's son commented that he forgives the cowards whom killed to his father. He told that one of the most beautiful things that he learned it was to forgive with the soul and that his revenge it will be his forgiveness to them.
Furthermore, he mentioned that he will not forgive that some families still living the same situation as his family did. He also said that 27 years ago a lot of people lost a hundred of hopeful ilusions in Mexico, they lost high expectatives saboutfuture, work and oportunities.
