Direct your porn dumps there, not here.Question of the day: Most interesting pokemon dwelling you have seen?
>>72585653yo moma's house
>Third attempt for this gym>1-9 this time, Doro put in some extra work training beforehand for the third attempt>>72585653Maybe the gigantic Beedrill hive deep in Ilex I saw from above, that was admittedly pretty cool.>>72576685Huh? What's the problem?
>>72585653doro's cavernous vagina
>>72585653>the slowpoke vore igloo
>>72586452>it’s finally time to eat fish >yay>>72585653Gun house.
>>72588974...gun house?>>72586434damn, didn't knew I was a pokemon, son of a pokemon>>72573227>Only researching that drug will tell>Time to contact the Zapman>And furthermore, when does the Sekhmet talk happen?
Finally did it, that took way longer than I thought it would, but it's done.>>72588974What's a gun house? Or is it literally a house made of guns?>Sweet, sweet victory.>Also Dart already had fish if he stayed overnight, now he gets the fancy restaurant food>Dart can order as much as he wants, Doro's in high spirits after finally beating that gym
>>72577406>He would have preferred to have landed on Kauket but, physics were not in his side today>At least he still landed somewhere relatively soft"I have a feeling standard house plumbing could never deal with all of this.">Hah>Catching a breath as he drifts belly up on the pond"Feeling uh, hydrated.">Hah>But enough drifting, time to swim to Kauket. To get on top and snuggle while she is still big(Good night, and also good morning, and good evening)
>>72573995 (Doro)Well I do. So I'm an untalented fighter because I win.>>72572852>Phoxy gets her cake and tastes it.>She looks... Disappointed.>Not because it's bad, but because the ULTIMATE cake should've had an ULTIMATE taste.>So she will try to take her revenge by getting some of Blazy's cake.>Which will fail.>Because she's eating it faster than the Phox expected.>Oh well.>Truly a fiasco from start to finish.>Now, the bee seems curious about the forest.>And asks a rather stupid question."Protection? I'm a fire type. I don't fear snow.">Ah, habitat. So she's studying Pokemon."Oh, you mean my house? Well I live in a den under a tree. The bug can confirm this."
>>72586452The smell of wet furNot a pleasant smellYou stink
e
>>72590334Maybe you mostly do easy fights?>>72590383I do not! I keep myself very clean.
>>72591550I kicked the Frillish's ass, remember? And held my own against an army of ghosts in the past while you were still a baby. You forget that sometimes.
>>72589372Gun house.>>72589515A house. Made of guns.Plus, caterpillar homeowner.>He proooobably did stay the night, because whatever>He will order some, thing >Maybe shrimp related>Or something >And he’ll enjoy it>He needs more winning in his life>>72590334>Nothing can live up to such a name>Not even Linda>Blazy you little cake monster >So sad>what a stupid answer “A dugout, then. That’s quite normal. Though I am surprised it’s not uncomfortable for you, do you have to crawl to get into it?”>Saying “the bug” might’ve been a little vague here but she understands
>>72591718Hmm, maybe you're just an anomaly then. I dunno.>>72592054Oh... weird. I wouldn't feel safe living in a house made of guns, what if they randomly went off?>Dart sleepover woo!>Doro ordered a big steak, Flow also went the seafood route and Julius picked the fanciest dish on the menu.>Overall they all feel like winners today>I don't know if Dart participated in a gym battle already but now he can say he's technically earned at least one badge
>>72592054thats a lot of guns
wo
>>72592650It was a dumb little Blipbug. So, I doubt it had the most logical reason behind living there. Though to its credit, most of the guns seemed to be facing outwards. At me. Somehow.>steak at a seafood place, what kind of contrarian scum are you >Dart will probably express relief at finally being able to eat out without being threatened with violence/fire blast over every little thing he says >I believe Dart did some Gym battling with Taner already, long long ago, so he’ll mention that >Some Grass type gym if I remember correctly >good times>>72593301Well, it probably would’ve been even more guns if the inhabitant was a human. But it was a bug. So, there’s that.
>>72595071Oh well that answers that, and then introduces a whole bunch of new questions.This is reminding me of the time I had to dive into a river to avoid some bullets>Sometimes you get bored of eating fish all the time, is what Doro would say if asked about it.>She's at least aware that it's an odd choice.>That is indeed a relief, everyone at the table is mostly well behaved. Willow is trying his best, still figuring out table manners most likely.>But no errant fire blasts or other moves being thrown out, just regular boring old conversation and celebration.>What a coincidence, Doro will ask for more details as she chews her steak>It had to have been better than losing against all odds the first time around>At least they got there in the end
>>72577027 (Kemo)>Probably bigger than Dream too, though they may be about the same height>Scamp IS still unevovled, and Oceana will soon start viewing that as a problem, Taner get get a Thunderstone now so there’s no excuse really>And he’s caught up with the extra few months they went unevolved now“They can be. And the Voltz is hoping that others in Lut end up agreeing with that sentiment.”>Getting everyone hooked on video games is nothing but money for them when their the only supplier, though that’s a rather low priority really>Yes, Oceana isn’t going to mention that part of it lol>As for Kaz’s statement, she gives a noncommittal“Hmm.”>They -have- been taught from a young age that the wild is an awful place, and Oceana has no interest in dispelling that notion with them>The pause seems more like she might have been planning out a very polite way to say “no,” so maybe it was Ivy to the rescue if Kaz really wants to go!>It’s not like she wouldn’t have some use for him there, too; after all one of her major projects has to do with digging, but the idea of putting any of her family in danger, even the mild danger of Lut Sarab in general, does not sit well with her>And then, Ivy, with a phrase that would cause many of the adults in this family to flinch>It seems Oceana isn’t having to do as much work to bridge the gap, not when Ivy will rationalize that bridge herself– all the better for her, for now>And so, she manages to reassure Kaz– who ironically seems to understand what she said better than Ivy in some ways (even if Ivy isn’t incorrect)– while still not ripping the bandage off Ivy’s perspective of her>Ironically, one of the reasons she doesn’t want to do that is because keeping Ivy with said image of her may be useful in the future, if she ever has to have a serious talk with her>1/2
>>72577027 (Kemo)>Oceana’s polite smile twitches bit at “wouldn’t know a backstabber if they stabbed you in the face,” like she found that somewhat amusing but is far too polite to be caught finding it amusing>Kaz does remind her of Taner in some ways, though she thinks he (Kaz) is perhaps less naive… hard to say, when they haven’t really gotten to interact that much>And now, Oceana has been somewhat maneuvered into not rejecting this idea, for quite a few reasons>So“If it’s approved by your parents, you could visit. But be aware that this won’t be a leisurely stroll through a new town like Taner takes you on, you’ll need to stick close to me and avoid speaking to anyone outside of our clans, with perhaps one exception, and we won’t be stopping to smell roses. I’ll make sure you know your way around in case you ever need to, and there might be something you could help me with, but we’ll need to take precautions. And it wouldn’t be beneficial for you to be too recognizable; perhaps a disguise of some kind may be warranted.”>I’ll let Prenne be the one to suggest the Halloween costumes, since that idea came from (you)(And good morning/evening!)>>72585653>Most interesting pokemon dwelling you have seen?Well, let's see here. I'm guessing what's intended here is in the wild, not in the cities and stuff. I've seen a lot of ice Pokemon make cool snow houses, but most Pokemon dwellings seem to focus on, uh, being hard to spot and easy to move in and out of, which isn't super interesting once you've seen a lot of them. There was one Pokemon who somehow had made a hut-shaped structure made out of earth, but it was on a tree.>>72586452Oh, yeah, I remember that.Also, congratulations!>>72588974And congratulations to you too!
>>72595071with all these guns then it would be more of a pillboxwith a pillbug in italas, it was not
>>72596730I definitely won't forget that anytime soon.Thanks! And knowing how you feel about Spikemuth I bet you're glad to get going, heh
>>72595917I’m glad we’ve both had to dodge bullets then. It’s a swell thing to bond over. I’m inclined to assume your experience involved Taner somehow.>It’s frankly more of a coincidence that he’s eaten out with two groups of Poké acquaintances in a short period of time>being invited to challenge a gym with Taner feels nearly inevitable, given a shared interest in battling >Oh yeah Dart’s probably never seen Willow in his life so that’s new for him>aw gosh darn it>that means he’ll also be interacting with Mint and Melanie>Doro stop having so many player characters on your team >it’s too complex >we’re in too deep >Dart probably remembers the outcome of the Gym battle, but I sure don’t, so I’m just going to safely assume they won it without much issue>it was like 2 years ago so who knows>>72596730Indeed. >Day 9 of Taner blatantly disrespecting my Walker posts>https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/72467205/#q72573526>I’ve hit the Anger stage of my grief>I hate you Taner>reply to me >aaaaaaaargh>>72596971Essentially. Yes.It was shaped exactly like that. Somehow.
>>72595917>>72598073I try to dodge bullets but it does not always work out for meno, my experience did not involve Taner. maybe that's why I got hit by shotgun pelletswell, pillsomething still
>>72598073Maybe, but I sure don't want to make a habit of it!Actually it involved Beryl, I still sometimes wonder if I hallucinated it all.>It's a small world>And yes that's true>Li'l mushroom fella. His face makes him seem far creepier than he really is>They are indeed, if Mint or Fen want to add anything>Now Dart can brag about how he had a fancy dinner with Mewtwo>I'm collecting them all!>I didn't think this through>If I was Taner I'd try searching through the archives for it, but I'll trust your judgement on this>Either way, Doro thanks Dart for the help again, and if he ever needs help with something she'd be glad to>Which is a given for Doro but she says it anyway>>72598512I'm very much content to never find out what actually being hit by bullets feels likeWeird how so many people here have been shot at...
>>72591550Stinky zoroarkTake a shower
>>72597305Especially considering, uh, everything else that happened.Well, I can't say you're completely wrong about that one. I didn't dislike the place! But it wasn't the type of place I'd, uh, want to linger in too long. I wonder if you'll end up coming back here from time to time?>>72598073Yeah!>And Taner will also say hello in person to Dart>aaaaaaaa>I'm going to blame the post happening between me going to sleep and the thread dying!>>72573526I can't say that thought hasn't occurred to me.>Well, I did read it, so we can just say "and here Walker tells Taner a summery of that adventure" if we want>Knowing that what was probably an Alolan Muk was involved will put some puzzle peaices into place/>Epsylon is the Slowking. You know, the one at the Pokemon Center who gassed the nurse and wears a turban and gives off very bad vibes? Update on that by the way: the voices around him that say concerningly creepy and evil things apparently aren't heard at all by Normal type Pokmeon and are extra heard by Psychic and ghost Pokemon, so, uh. It's some sort of ghost type effect. There's other things too, but I actually might want to meet in person for those, because it's been implied to me that the group we are dealing with may be, like, a really really big deal with a lot more power than we thought. So.
>>72598552You smell>>72599058Very trueFair enough, I get that feeling. Maybe once in a while? We'll see!Next up is Hammerlocke, right? This'll be the second Dragon-type gym I've fought.
>>72599194Probably like smoke thanks to BackpackMakes me think of warmth at leastHorrible Zoroark
>>72589627>Oh well, maybe next time>Still a nice place to land at least"Hehehe~ Probably not~">It's probably for the best she went outside for this"Nothing like a good milk bath, am I right~?">Milk and "milk" anyway>After swimming with some difficulty through all that warm, sticky milk, Sam would manage to reach Kauket, in order to climb aboard>Understandably, she's still quite big, even if softer now>That only makes her even better for snuggling though, as she's all softened up like a big pillow>Kauket blindly feels down for Sammy as she feels him climbing up along her lewd body>Once she puts her mitts on him, she brings him up a little more and hugs him tightly against herself, wedging his head between her two massive, leaking tits>Her slow breathing causes him to rise and fall slowly atop his giant, yet soft girlfriend. It's very comfy up here, feels very safe"Ha~ That was pretty fun, wasn't it Sammy~?">She asks with a little squeeze of his naked formhttps://litter.catbox.moe/vm0sjc.png(Likewise!)
>>72599602If you smell like smoke you should be the first to take a showerOne way to look at it I guessActually I'm the best Zoroark
>>72596691(It's a Chibi Oceana! Also it was that tail! But I forgot to say that at the time lol)>Probably, yeah. Certainly bulkier in any case>Yes, very true. He's handicapping himself and putting Voltz in danger to some extent>Though he could probably argue his greatest strength is his wit anyway, not his battle prowess (especially after wooing their boss...)>He nods"Voltz sounds like a pretty cool group, then!">He's eager to meet them now! And it doesn't hurt that he would be immune to their their strongest attacks anyway, if things did go wrong for whatever reason>Indeed, if there's a place where entertainment isn't very high on everyone's priority list, it's Lut>Yes lol>He paws at the snow for a moment"Sometimes I wonder why some would rather be in the wild than with a trainer...">That part, to him, has never made a lot of sense. Then again, he's been with a supportive family and trainer his entire life, so...>Oh, maybe it was!>True, he is pretty good at that, but... Oceana could just as well hire some local ground types, and not have to endanger them>At the same time, they have also been pretty sheltered for the most part- even with the crazy adventures Taner tends to go on, they tend to be pretty far from the front lines, so it's not too often they get to take part in things actively>Ivy has always seemed to have a problem with that. Kaz, not so much... But he is a little curious still, and eager to be helpful to his family>Cirrus has no idea what anyone else is up to, so long as nobody is in danger, he just wants to jump and fly and have fun!>Another Ivy moment>She is a bit more accepting of her family behaving in, well, less extreme ways than herself. In fact, she's pretty much accepted that she's the outlier here, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love them>Indeed>True, but then again, it seems like Ivy's thoughts on Oceana wouldn't be so easily deflated
>>72596730>Ivy would probably be glad to know she made Oceana -almost- laugh, and maybe she gets the feeling that she did, to some extent>Kaz is still quite young, so it would make sense for him to be naive. But there's also a bit of a different approach in the way he does things. Taner being a human would likely rather talk things out and if that doesn't work, send in his team ahead of himself. Kaz IS the one going in ahead of everyone- not because he's rushing, but because he'd rather be the one tanking incoming attacks than let his family get hurt. From what Oceana has seen, he's also very brave for his age- again, not that they've really interacted that much- but what little she did see of him, he seems to always have a cool head on his broad shoulders, and she's pretty sure he hasn't once been surprised by, well, anything really. Maybe some indirect traits from Repose? Though he is a bit more naturally expressive>And so>The both of them listen closely, this seems pretty serious>Kaz nods"I see... Alright. I understand.">Followed by Ivy"We'll see if mom has any idea what we could wear... What -would- happen if someone recognized us, though?">Makes sense!(And likewise!)
>>72599893You smell like cumCum ZoroarkGo take a shower stinky
>>72598512This sounds like a story.>>72598547Maybe he injected you with an experimental hallucinogenic potion.>rad>at this point Dart’s encountered creatures that should not exist in this Pokemon world, Mewtwo isn’t even cool anymore>It is very much not worth searching for, I imagine >Dart’ll nod>And say something characteristic like >”Okay”>Or maybe even “Alright”>oh yeah this guy’s here too >>72599058>>72599058>Hi>Dart’ll probably use Taner as a complaint sponge while he vents about Phoxy or something>alright>yeah uh>I was gonna have Walker tell Taner that there’s probably a Muk involved>But I’m pretty sure Taner already learned that while talking to Vex and Sekhmet, no?>So not much new ground there>Other than the fact that Vex’s old home isn’t too bad, just boring and slow/>Oh. How in the hell did you get on a first name basis with him?/>Why are we coordinating to take in Vex when you can apparently just go on a play date with a 5x higher priority suspect? />I don’t even know what to say about his evil juju or whatever, no comment />I already had suspected a whole secret-underground-trafficking ring, and then I stopped suspecting that, but nvm I guess I’ll revisit that idea now/>I still can’t travel out of region and go on some international super-spy mission, so I’m pretty powerless as long as they’re out of Sinnoh. Guess we already knew that but yeah, that’s all I can tell you./>Zapman sent me documentation from an actual official authority in Orre, which is the only reason people here in Sinnoh are actually listening to me now in regards to the missing Sneasel case. I’ve basically been told that my department will take things seriously only IF they come up again, because it would technically involve reopening an already-existing case. So that’s easier than starting a new one off minuscule evidence. />But yeah. That’s all.
>>72600377it was>>72598547because we're action people
Alright soHere's a story for youI made an agreement with this man. His daughter is getting married. However the mother-in-law of the groom was his childhood bully. He wants it so she can't be happy on the day of the wedding. I decide, alright, so this guy wants a hex to ruin a special day? I can do thatI push a few things around. The dad gets drunk at the wedding and gets into a fight with the mother-in-law. Both end up at the police station. How's that for a cost? Fefefefe~I think I did a good job. >I'm late. I'm late. For a very important date>>72541129 >>72541712 >The warm words make Razz smile. For the first time in the entirety of this conversation, she seems to relax somewhat>As she does, she ponders her current circumstances>For the first time in... well, as far she can rightly remember truthfully, she is surrounded by people she trusts>Friends. Family? Perhaps, now that her old life is gone. Comfortableness is playing a large factor into this"So... then I should start exploring things then? At, like, the big house and stuff?">It seems she is interested in experimenting after all! And for once, not just with recreationally getting high>There is one more thing for her to do, however"Hey, uh, before we do that... can you, like, follow me please? I'd like to go somewhere. There's a record store near here. Like, real vintage and stuff... I think they're still open. Mind if we go?">She momentarily looks down at the mess she's made from her eating"Uh... I'll clean this up first, man"
>>72599829>Better than solid ground, for sure"Would need something seriously big.">More than what a warehouse is ready for"A nice bath, outside, at night. Yeah.">And other ghostly fluids>His big, soft girlfriend>Crawling,until brought right where he wanted to be>Would not want to give this up for anything"We should do this again some time. Uh, with cleanup already planned.">Yeah>And snuggling against her tits(right on top of the softest bed possible)(It may be that Sam has a thing for snuggling on soft Ghost types)
>>72600244(Yes, a very old one (I need a new Chibi lora lol). That tail? Not the 3-finned one?)>Yes, exactly that>Yes, both of those things. Sadly, "being extra cute" isn't really an advantage in Lut Sarab>Wits are, but it's better if their backed by power>There are so many Oceana/Scamp conversations that should have happened by now but haven't... at least even as far behind on scenes as we are, we aren't THAT behind lol>Oceana's expression doesn't change, but she does give a slight nod"That is the impression we hope to give off, yes.">That's very true, nothing for Kaz to fear from the Voltz, on multiple levels>Of course, Oceana is going to talk to Amanda before bringing them over, but she doesn't see any reason why the Voltz would not allow them there-- if anything, Oceana could pay whatever the regular fee for someone coming in for gaming is, so they could hang out with Scamp for a bit>Perhaps the Voltz will be able to change that, with time/effort>Oceana has noticed that he likes to paw at things like that, not surprising considering"I've heard 'freedom' stated as a reason. There are no laws or rules, which means a Pokemon can do anything they want without consequence...">She hardly even notices as one of her paws touches the tracker around her neck for a moment"...but it also means no protection or safety, for anyone. For some who have grown up only knowing that, it seems like a fair trade. Dart may be able to explain it better than I can.">Most wild Pokemon seem to have trouble understanding ones who prefer civilization and vice-versa>Yes>Also that, but if he's going to be there anyway, might as well, he did ask specifically if there was something he could help with after all, and she gets the feeling he's the type who likes to help>On the one hand, considering how the world is, it's probably good for them to not be completely sheltered...>1/2
>>72600244>...But on the other, if Oceana had her way, her entire family would be -completely- sheltered from the world in a perfectly safe bubble of some kind (especially Taner lol), but that’s not possible, so best prepare them instead>Maybe Ivy will be able to be on the front lines more when she's a bit older, if that's what she wants-- that's at least been implied to her at this point>After all, her being there, once she's ready and trained up, will increase everyone's chances of survival, probably>But at the same time, Cirrus will never be forced to come on any dangerous missions, nor will Kaz (though one gets the feeling he'll probably be there if Ivy was)>It's not just more extreme, it's downright PTSD inducing for most of them lol>Confirmation that Ivy loves them? That's good at least! Need more Ivy scenes>Well that's just good for Oceana, then>>72600256>She can count that as making Oceana laugh, even if only internally-- that's still something one doesn't see very often!>That DOES sound a lot like the way Repose handles things, there's certainly some Repose in there>And one can tell there's some Taner influence, not genetically but both Kaz and his father have been around Taner a lot so there's no surprise there, and some of that protectiveness probably comes from Prenne too>The armor really fits Kaz, in more ways than one-- he's very knightly, I suspect he gets along with Dredd well too>Oceana responds to Ivy's question"At first, nothing-- there are plenty of strange Pokmeon in Lut Sarab. The problem is if they ever see you in a different context after that and associate you with me. Not only would they then realize that I know a human trainer, but they'll also have another target if they want to force my paw on something but can't do it through me or my clans.">A pause"The odds of that are fairly low, seeing as you haven't shown up on TV. But I've been on the receiving end of poor odds before. In Lut especially, caution pays dividends."
>>72599194Yup, Hammerlocke! I've heard it's like a really big castle city, so it should be pretty interesting! It's a bit of a walk though. Not that there's any hurry, it's like, April before the Galar tournament, and at this rate we'll have all the gym badges in plenty of time before then.Strangely enough, even with all the distractions, I think this is the fastest I've gone through a region so far...>>72600377>>72598547>Taner will be a completely compliant complaint sponge>He understands too, Phoxy is, well, Phoxy>No, that's not something Taner knows right now, he's starting to suspect it might be related to the Hazmat guy he and Jeremy fought in Alola (and he met before when attacking the ELG), because of the poison team typing and the Sandlit Walker met, but he doesn't know about the Muk-- once he does, though, that's one more clue leading to that conclusion, which is starting to add up>What Taner learned when talking to Vex and Sekhmet, we'll get to as he tells Walker, mostly/>Because Vex is, mostly, I don't know if I'm actually on a first name bases but, uh, I do know his name/>Because that 5x higher priority suspect is harder to meet in person and would be a LOT harder to fight?/>Yeah, it's weird. And I heard he got it by touching a strange walk, and he has a third eye opening in his Shelder, and touching said rock drives people insane but he touched it knowing that, so uh, yeah/>I think it might be even worse than that, to be honest. I don't want to mention names over text, though. But I'm thinking this is a... multi-region group. And they test drugs on innocent Pokmeon. Maybe humans, too./>And, well, as for where they are, that's the thing: their base, or one of them anyway, is actually a submarine. Can't say how I've learned that until we're in person, let's just say "magic" for now and leave it at that. But yeah./>Do you think this Direst Hit could count as evidence?
>>72601127>>72541712>Seeing Razz both relax and smile makes Taner relax and smile in turn, and it makes him feel a warm happy feeling>There's still all the fear about Magpie coming back and the PTSD from the recent night, but for this moment, right now, he is able to set all that aside and just be happy that one of his good friends is happy>He nods"Yeah, there, and anywhere you want! Exploring was one of the reasons I became a trainer, so I'll still be going all over the place, so you can do that with me if you like, but I also visit the castle from time to time, and I'll do it more often if you decide you want to stay there for a bit instead! I already have a really good idea for a Christmas gift for you too, so that's something to get hyped for!">Then"Oh, of course!">He hopes it actually is still open, and not closed like 50 years ago or something>If Razz had Soak used on her, there shouldn't be that much of a mess, unless she's just a messy eater in general
>>72601127I think you should be arrested to be honest
>>72601391>wunderbar >Dart’s thankful for Taner’s terrifically tenacious talk-tolerance >oh, that’s nice then >Hooray for Walker usefulnessss>Walker described the mysterious blob pokemon as “having some green and also other colors” according to Sneasel witnesses, so that’s how his info’s framed>just fyi >I had a hard time keeping up with that long sekhmet conversation you had so the Walker catchup will be appreciated/>Well how’d you guys meet? Can you replicate that again? You said Epsylon gave something to Lightspeed so was he not there in person, ooor?/>You should watch In The Tall Grass. I’m being reminded of that plot rn./>Ugh. Sucks if they’re really that big, but, a better chance our case is taken seriously if it’s a real big group like that.>long pause after the submarine comment/>I KNEW IT/>AAAAAH GOD damnit I should’ve known />Beryl did his scrying for me MONTHS ago and I SAW Vex in a weird closed off room right after he disappeared on a dinghy into the OCEAN/>I SAW INTO THAT SUBMARINE TANER I SWEAR TO GOD/>God damn that’s been bugging me for months. Moving on./>I’ve got no idea what that dire hit thing really is, but if it was in their possession, it’s probably important. Useful, or something. Why would he just give you that? Is he trying to do live testing on random people? Is he an idiot? Because that’s how you get caught />I’m so confused all the time Taner>>72600978Glad that’s established.
>>72601491Excuse me? Here I am trying to make a living and all I hear is criticism. How rude. How absurd. This was purely a mutual transaction involving a standard moral obligate lesson>>72601408Hey Taner, tell Daycare off for meCan you believe this putz?>I will await for Kemo before arpee reply>The slowest RP in the west strikes again
>>72601127>>72601408>That's good. Despite the nugget of doubt that lingers within her, overall things are looking up>Sharon smiles as well!>She nods as she adds:"Yep! Wherever your heart desires.">She then taps her chin"Oh? A record store? Well, they might not still be open but, I suppose it can't hurt to check.">Especially since that was gonna be Sharon's surprise for Razz later on but shh>If there is indeed a mess, Sharon will help clean it up>If there isn't, well, she won't have to do that
Goodnight everyone!>>72601708>Taner may wish that his two friends could be friends with each other, but he 100% understands Dart's frustrations, and that it's really no fault of Dart's own here>Okay, there's some ambiguity there, but that's still enough to -almost- confirm a suspicion>That's fair/>Well, the first time it was because he was picking up Vex at the Pokemon Center, and the second time it was because Lightspeed was getting Vex to him quickly for some sort of "urgent" matter, so unlike Vex, I can't really just invite him for a picnic... but Vex does seem to stay around wherever he is/>Which is both good and bad, bad because that's why I can't seem to get Vex to leave Galar right now/>Is "The Tall Grass" a horror movie?/>Yeah, if it's the group I'm thinking, we may be able to get help from multiple agencies in multiple regions... once we actually have proof of it>.../>Uh, well, that's one thing confirmed then! Sadly, it kinda makes things a lot harder, but at least that's one more thing we know!/>I do think your right, that's where you saw into/>I have a few ideas. One, he might think that Lightspeed would use it-- Lightspeed may remind him of Vex, in some ways. And he may be the type of Pokemon who fundamentally doesn't understand those who don't think like him, so he'd think Lightspeed would want the "power" it might give him even if it's, uh, got very bad side effects. Or he might want to use Lightspeed as a test subject. In any case, I do think he thought we'd use it or something, not give it away for evidence, otherwise I'm sure he wouldn't have given it to Lightspeed in the first place/>Same, honestly>>72601751I would, but I think he had some other ghost give him a hex that made my posts invisible to him.>>72601839>>72601127>Taner will also help clean up, if there is a mess>And when they get up to go to the records place, Star will of course jump on to Taner's shoulder>Feel free to go one extra from here, as now I must sleep
>>72601269>True, true"Maybe a public pool or something.">Or bigger still"Yep, just what the doctor ordered, hehe~">Indeed>It is quite heavenly up here"Sure! Just gotta think of a place to dump it all.">Even Sammy couldn't fit all of this>... Well, not as long as he's human anyway>The snuggling is very nice though>They might even end up falling asleep like this(Quite!)(That may be so! Only, one is very lewd and the other not so much)(Hope you enjoyed this bout of mega degen fun, you lewdy butt!)
>>72601708thanks>>72601751and thus was the modern fable>>72601915sleep well>>72601391>>72601708>BTW what Walker saw was a Salazzle, not a Salandit. A rather sickly looking Salazzle, but definitely a Salazzle>Also "Dire Hit" is a legal, safe and common battle item. Completely unlike "Direst hit">>72601929"Uh, that would make the news in the morning.">Which may not be a good idea"Some gallons of milk a day keep the doctor away.">Hah"Or, something to do with all of uh, this.">Hmmmm>Sam would try, still>And then even try harder if he were to 'transcend'>Sleeping in the best way he has ever slept.>Just would need to wake up and get back home before sunrise(Yup. And the lewd one is his girlfriend, which makes it even more special)(I absolutely did, thanks! Now to save the pictures...(also thanks))
>>72601915You're a cowardmess him up TanerFlex those muscles>>72602142ExaaaactlyIt's all about providing a service and teaching a moral lesson>>72601408>>72601839>Razz is just a messy eater>Decades of not having fingers will do that to you>Razz waits for the bills to be paid before excusing herself, floating through the walls and waiting outside for the others to follow"It's totally open! One of those new age retro groovy hippie style things I see. Who knew we'd be, like, the pinnacle of fashion and stuff man?">It's a very out of the way spot, and it's not very big at that. This isn't a profitable venture, more of a hobby for someone with time to kill and money to burn>The woman at the front of the desk seems to have nodded off with her chin in her hand, and she ungracefully rises and pretends to have been awake the entire time as you enter with a ring of the bell>Razz of course is already there, browsing through stacks of the most ancient pieces known to man>The desk attendant smiles helpfully, but looks surprised you're there. She remains polite nonetheless."Like, welcome and stuff, dudes. How can I, like, absolutely help you and stuff?">Remind you of someone?>Razz in the meanwhile removes an old vinyl record of The Dominoes"...My grandma used to listen to this exact vibe. Brings me back."
>>72601347(Honestly you don't even need a lora for that nowadays lol. Also I meant this one! The 3-finned one!)>True>Also true>And very true!>And yeah...>Kaz gives a counter-nod"I'm glad that's the one you decided to join, then.">Indeed>Amanda isn't gonna have a problem with them, though she will ask a little bit about them, like where they came from>I still can't remember just how much Amanda knows of Oceana, and her having a trainer and all>Eventually, maybe!>Ironically he does it when he's thinking, or a little confused or shy about something. But it does make sense that he would do that as a tic, almost."I suppose, but... Most laws are there for a reason, no? To protect people?">As he says that, he might not even realize laws are exactly what caused Oceana to be exiled in the first place, so maybe she's not such a huge fan of them"Hmmm, you think he would, if I asked him...?">Dart has always seemed a little aloof to him, so he's not sure he would humor him>But maybe...>Exactly! And it'll also be nice to work with someone that is neither Voltz or Atlas without being wary that they might try to scam you somehow>True...>>72601369>But also that. The problem of course is, the more you shelter someone, the less ready they are to take up on the smallest of challenges>That is indeed what she would like, most likely>And yes>And also that>Oh dear lol>Well maybe they should have another talk but... How? And when?>But yes. It's hard to tell at a glance, but there are little hints here and there. Such as her wanting to come along. Or sometimes offering to help someone with something because "they don't know what they're doing, lemme handle this">It's a very tough kind of love>Yes
>>72601369>That's something at least!>Indeed! They're not just taking after their parents, but their entire family a little! Perks of being so close together>And also that, too, in both cases. I'm not sure we actually had a "Prenne defending her babies" scene since she's never by herself, but if it came to that, you can bet she would turn into a real mama bear, showing fangs even Fea didn't know she had>That it does, and he does! Dredd is not super talkative, but Kaz is always interested in hearing out about his exploits and values in general>Then>Kaz blinks a few times at her response"Who would even do something like that...?">To which Ivy waves a paw"Plenty of people. You can't get to someone, you go after their family. It's common sense.">Common sense...?>She clarifies for Kaz"The problem is not that we'll be seen with Oceana, it's that if they later see us with Taner, that could lead a whole lot of trouble.">Kaz shakes his head sadly"Why can't people just play fair...?">Ivy scoffs drily"Because that only works when -both- parties agree to play fair.">Looks like she might've watched a few too many gangster movies... Which she wasn't allowed to watch in the first place(Forgot to say: Hope your Saturday wasn't too much of a Saturday!)(And now, goodnight!)
>>72602142"Hah, well, hopefully this doesn't.">Indeed"Full of protein and calcium!">Also I'm sure he would>He does like getting filled to the brim, and then way past that>But for now, a very good sleep>Oh yeah, they'll be just in time(True! It's the best way it could be, really)(That's very good to hear! I know it sort of went all over the place but, it's just how it is with Kauket lol. Enjoy the pictures!)(My pleasure! And goodnight!)

>>72600292Stop spreading lies>>72600377I wouldn't doubt it>Mewtwo is totally rad Dart's just a hater>What a chatterbox Dart is, talking Doro's ear off like that>Back to eating>>72601391>>72601708>Doro can't help but overhear the Phoxy conversation>Her thoughts are about the same as Taner's>By now Doro's about done with her steak>>72600978Hmm, I see.>>72601127Yeah that seems about fair>>72601391Ooh a big castle, sounds neat. I'm glad we're not falling behind, now here's hoping I don't get stuck here or at the Fairy gym rematch...Oh yeah? Well that's good! Hopefully we'll get our badges in time to relax a bit.
>>72606992It's the truth thoughI wouldn't lie about this
>>72607001You aren't even in the same region as me!You would because you just did. Stop being an agent of chaos.
>>72607064That's what YOU thinkI refuse, it's much more enjoyable than reading over the same fucking regulations for the fifth time in the past six months.
>>72607090I do! If you're here you'd show yourself.See this is what I mean about finding another hobby or something else to do, work is making you evil.
>>72607425WrongIt's more enjoyable to watch from the shadowsWork isn't making me evil. Work is making me bored. Massive difference.
>>72592054>Truly the cake dilemma.>Fucking Linda.>More questions."If it was uncomfortable, I wouldn't sleep in it now wouldn't I?">Now we're getting to the intimate parts."Well duh, it has to be a rather small hole, otherwise it's just a bug hole. Besides, I imagine you mostly live in some sort of weird nest thing like bees do.">Very racist stereotype.>>72592650Sounds rude.
>>72607469That's weird and you're weirdThen boredom is making you evil, clearly you need to just stop being bored.>>72608749I promise it's not!
>>72609261Right right. You're up to something I bet.
>>72609261Nah it makes perfect senseNo, the boredom is making me bored. That's how boredom works.You get bored and then get even MORE bored.
>>72609697I'm always up to something, but you don't need to worry since I like not being a pile of burnt ashes.>>72609741In your twisted, evil mind maybeBoredom made me do other things like steal a pokegear and learn to read.
>>72610728Excellent, that's a good thing.Anyway, what are you up to? Planning to get out of that shithole soon and come back to the superior Kalos?
>>72610728Nah, I'm always rightI can't believe you stole from people. You're a horrible person and should be struck down by Arceus immediately
>>72611713Is it?Well I beat my sixth gym, next is Dragon and then I go back to battle Fairy again, that one was giving me some trouble.I go back to Kalos every now and then to visit Sharon's castle, though it may be a while before I actually do a Kalos gym run, that'll be expensive...>>72612303Everytime except when you're wrongI've also stolen tons and tons of food from humans around Ilex, how about that?
>>72602142Thank you!>Ah, gotcha>So a little less evidence then; Taner really is in a "do I just think it's this guy because I know him or is this all coincidence" type place>>72602323That's, uh, not how I do things.>>72602323>>72601839>True, poor Razz>Can she at least levitate the silverware?>Bills are paid, the staff is thanked, and then off they go, Razz having that head start>Watch out, that's fine with walls but if she floats through a window convincingly enough someone (Lightspeed probably) may think it's open and try to go through it :D>And then"Yeah!">While Taner may not be into (or even really know all that much aside from Razz) hippie culture, Razz's enthusiasm at it makes him enthusiastic too!>Taner is glad whoever decided to do this place as a hobby did, because people like Razz should have shops to go to>Star wonders to herself if this type of place gets ghosts visiting as often or more often than humans, seeing as the age demographic stretches out that far>And it's very good to see Razz having such a good time>Taner smiles back"Hello! Well, I think along with the records our friend Razz is looking at, we, uh, may also need a player.">He glances at Sharon to confirm she doesn't just have one sitting around at the castle>>72602615(True, but it does help)(Yes, that's what I expected!)(Also, I want to add, these are some really great Kaz and Ivy images, I've been really enjoying them!)>Indeed*4"My choice was made when Scamp joined; if I were to stay in Lut Sarab there was only one option after that. But yes, it has worked out well.">Oceana will explain that they are related to her in a way which makes Scamp their uncle while being light on other details unless specifically asked>I do think Amanda is the only one in Lut Sarab (aside from Scamp) who knows she has a trainer, though again she's been light on the details when she can get away with it of course>1/3
>>72602615>Other Eevees and Eeveelutions probably do it too, but it especially makes sense with Kaz"That is most often the stated goal, yes. But if one has become accustomed to living without them, the safety they provide might seem like a tradeoff, but I'm only speculating at this point.">Oceana suspects that it's mostly predator Pokemon who "enjoy" the wild, she really can't see any good reason any Pokemon not at the top of the food chain would want to stay in the wild aside from being stupid>As for laws, her feelings on those are complex... if she had out a bit more faith into the laws and actually confirmed if what the human was doing was legal or not, she'd never have gotten herself into the mess she did; her vote of no confidence in the law turned out to be incorrect... but the whole way her case was handled still felt unjust, so very mixed feelings indeed>Still, she's trying to get Lut Sarab to be less lawless, so that's telling"If you asked him directly, I do.">Dart may be a little aloof seeming, but she can't seem him refusing a direct question from Kaz like that>Yes, very true-- plus, it's a project she's still keeping mostly secret, but bringing Kaz in doesn't increase the chances for a leak at all>Yes, exactly>Though thankfully, even as sheltered as they are now, Taner and Fea are still teaching them how to battle, which may be one of the most important things to learn overall for any Pokemon>Yes*4>Those are good questions>Fea has probably noticed those more than anyone, and Taner because he wants to see them>And maybe Oceana too, if this interaction is any indication of how they normally go-- it's clear that Ivy is protective of Kaz, which of all the feelings is one that Oceana understands well>>72602620>Yes, and it's good to see them growing up so close... and with their parents, too>Prenne did go after that one guy pretty badly, but aside from that we haven't really seen it no>More friends for Dredd to talk to is always good>2/3
>>72602620>Ocean doesn't comment until the end, and when she does she puts a paw on Kaz, because she doesn't want him to feel bad about what she says next, but as much as it risks inflating Ivy's ego a bit, she has to say"Ivy is right. That may not be the way everyone in Lut Sarab thinks, but enough do that it’s worth it to mitigate the risk.">>72606992I'm already way more familiar with the inside of a regular castle than I ever thought I'd be, but a castle that makes up an entire city is something new!I think things will start looking up for you, in both places. By the time you challenge the Fairy gym again, you'll have a lot more experience-- you already do now, even.That'd be nice! I might take a side trip to do more of the Aloa Island Challenges, depending. It'd be really nice to get a Z-move for Star! And this is a good time of year for it.
>>72612895Ah right, this weird obsession with gyms.Ah yes, the Kalos gyms, they're really hard. I've even heard a new one will open soon-ish near Snowbelle. They call it the "Phox gym", ever heard of it?
>>72613604Galar has some unique cities, I'll give it that! Should we show up in full plate armor?I sure hope you're right, I've had enough getting stuck for one gym run!Yes, you must. The Taner dance...>>72613736It's basically a form of training you get paid for and you get to travel, nothing weird about it.Well they're certainly hard on your wallet.I have not heard of the Phox gym but I can get an idea of what it's about. What kind of badge do I get if I win?
>>72612895Which I'm never wrongSo I'm always rightYou should be executed immediately with no trial
>>72613071(Maybe a little!)(Thanks! I'm glad you like them! Kaz is giving me a bit more trouble than Ivy, despite his more traditional color scheme, but overall I'm pretty happy with the way he's turning out)(Those Indigo pictures were probably from a bit ahead in the future when he's older lol)(I also seem to be getting better results with personalmerge than Nova, at least for the bayvees. Not sure why? Nova seems a bit less good at sticking to certain character details, while overall it makes higher quality images)>Kaz tilts his head"Oh? Another option?">Well that's probably a good way to do it. Amanda would be glad to meet Scamp's nephew(s) and niece>Makes sense, yeah>>72613589>Yes"I see...">Kaz nods slowly. He thinks he understands? Maybe? Hard to say. He couldn't imagine living by himself, especially not in the wild>At the same time, between him and Cirrus, it's clear he's the one that would fare better in the wild. He's stronger than he thinks, he just isn't used to being alone... Because he kinda never is>Ivy on the other hand, well... Let's just say it would probably be best not to leave her alone in the wild, lest she starts behaving like a paranoid Seviper or something>But yes, that's understandable>It's probably good to have some laws anyway, even if they can sometimes be flawed"Okay, maybe I will then!">Kaz will certainly give it a shot at least!>Also very true>True! They are all very healthy and very good battlers, even if they don't have years of actual experience. They all have had a lot of practice and training. They're just a bit lacking in the street smart department... Even Ivy, who is probably a little less cool than she'd like to be, by the way she sounds. That's why she respects Oceana: She's been there, she's seen it, she's lived it.
>>72613589>Yes>Taner would certainly try very hard to see hints of that at least lol>That is how it usually goes, for the most part. Sometimes they bicker, but overall all three are very protective of each other. >Kaz tends to be a bit more passive about it in a "Hm? Of course I'm here to protect you, I'm the oldest brother (by a few seconds)" sense>Ivy is more "You guys are idiots and will get hurt without me, so I'm coming with">And Cirrus tends to be more "Getting hurt is no fun so let's go together and avoid getting hurt!" about it>Then of course you have their parents, and the rest of the family at large, but they all have more experience and means to defend themselves so they're not usually too worried, even if they care about them>Yeah! Even Ivy seems to have softened a little from being raised in such a loving and caring environment, even though she definitely keeps that edge>Oh I don't even remember that lol. Even as I read it, it's not immediately coming back to me>But yes, it is!>>72613604>Kaz blinks at his aunt a few times as she puts a paw on him, listening closely"Ah... I guess it's better to be safe than sorry...?">Is what he gets from this>Ivy's ego is, indeed, a little inflated by this"See? What'd I tell you. That's why I need to come along.">Kaz shakes his head"Well either way that's not up to me. Let's go ask mom and dad.""Right.">And so they'll trot off briefly to do precisely that!(And good morning!)
>>72601915>Some things weren’t meant to be>Indeed>Maybe it was that other green slime mon with the yellow leaf on its head>what’s that Pokémon’s name again />Flabbergasting. But hey, you said he was picking up Vex at a Pokemon center? So that sounds like it’d be pretty easy to bait him out again, no?/>Oh yeah that. Ugh./>Maybe Galar’s authorities can get wind of these criminals or something, idk />In The Tall Grass, yes. It’s a horror movie where people get lost in a field of tall grass and they bump into other people who were lost in the tall grass except one of them is a guy who touched a big rock and turned into a psychotic freak and he’s the main antagonist />yeah/>Yeah that kinda fuckin’ sucks dick./>Hm. That’s not the craziest theory you’ve ever had, at least. It’s hard to imagine a Slowking being so careless like that, I always imagine them to be playing 4D chess with their opponents or whatever. So I’m weary of that, but also yeah it’s kinda a good point that he just be one of uh, those types of people. The type of Pokemon whose intelligence may be uh, blinded/>blinded by their dumbass personality >>72602142>I remembered that yes >I didn’t correct Taner bc I know it’s kind of a weird salandit-male-mutation-salazzle so I just had no comment there >I know that too, we’re goooood>Walker’s just be lazy with the exact naming I suppose, figures Taner will know what he means >aaaaah I need to do the poke-cube experiment >kemooooooooo>>72606992>Mewtwo’s okay>I like Mew better >:(>yes >finally Dart SHUTS up >It’s okay venting to multiple people is even better than venting to one
>>72608749>all my homies hate Linda>Quin’ll raise a figurative eyebrow but doesn’t need to inquire further“You’re visibly a clean looking Pokemon. Do you have to dirty yourself up every time you crawl into your hole? That sounds like a lot of work.”>racism“I may as well say I live in a shed. That’s essentially what I built.”>A big hollow shed made out of nest materials >and some wire fencing she found>It must be spacious enough for her roommates>Celly and Dart “I can’t exactly lie on the ground. Comfortably.”>The consequences of achieving a perfect hourglass figure
>>72614757Actually it's the oppositeI won't be turning into a Hisuian Zoroark today>>72616120>I can't decide, I like them both>No wait Dart I'm sorry>Very true, and Doro's a good listener.>It's probably about time to wrap up their meal>Unless Dart wants desert
>>72614671(He does look a little different than before, but it feels more like a different style than a different character, and I like both styles!)(Ironic lol)(That does sound like the difference between them right now)>Kaz slightly misunderstood what Oceana said there, she meant to imply that Voltz was the only option after she decided to stay in Lut Sarab, but she'll go with it smoothly"Aside from being clanless, something I wanted to avoid.">That's good, Oceana will be glad Amanda feels that way>Kaz probably understands as much as most Pokemon who've never lived in the wild do, hence why Oceana suggested he ask Dart, she feels a Pokmeon who's split the difference between the two will have the best perspective>She'd tell him to ask Phoxy, but... Phoxy is Phoxy>In the end, there are some Pokmeon who are suited for the wild mentally, and others who aren't, regardless of how strong they are... really, as far as Oceana is concerned, it's not the type of life she'd want for any of her family>And pretty much everyone else in the family is agreed on that, too>Yes, Oceana wouldn't have Lut be lawless for example, even if it remained so in principle, at the very least it makes it easier to stop bad behavior when you are supported by the justice system, assuming you don't do something stupid and pick the one way it will get you in trouble as well...>But her regrets don't invalidate the idea itself>Fea has worked to give them a bit of street smarts, as they got older, but not with the same words that Ivy just used lol>But he also hopes they never really need them, and the battle smarts are more important to him for that reason>Ivy is right about that part of Oceana, she has indeed lived it-- just maybe not "enjoyed" or embraced it as much as Ivy thinks>>72616043>Yes, he will indeed>They are a good family, Fea and Prenne can be proud>1/2
(And now I'll be gone for a bit)>>72616043>And now, there are two more, too! The second batch always has the advantage that the parents know more of what they are doing lol>That's good, Fea wants his kids personalities to shine and to give them as much freedom to be who they are as possible, but with Ivy specifically it's probably for the best that become a bit softer... if only to help her fit in more, much less to avoid her getting into trouble>He no longer worries nearly as much about her doing something awful, though, one can't see Ivy turning out like Tempest at this point for example>Let's see...> https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/50507630/#q50523564>She'll give Kaz a friendly pat, even though Kaz is taller than her"Yes, that's exactly right.">And Oceana will give a small wave as they do that>That wasn't what she was expecting out of that conversation, but it was nice to talk to them, and maybe being able to spend more time with any of her family is always a plus in her book>>72616120>Yes>I know the one you are speaking of but also can't recall the name, I'll look it up next post/>Yes, but that was because Vex had overdosed on something and passed out in a way that even a Revive couldn't help. I'd have, uh, less excuse to take Vex to a center if the Revive could help, but I suppose if we are just trying to lure the Slowking and save Vex at the same time, that might actually be the best plan?/>Maybe, but I'll have a feeling they'll be out of Galar as soon as that happens, which is probably how they go about it in every region/>Well, that does sound very similar in some ways, but I'm still not going to watch it/>Um, yes/>I think he's probably a super genius in the area of, um, chemicals, but perhaps not so much in the area of social... stuff/>Too bad he didn't decide to use those smarts on the side of the good guys
>>72606992can't have action without danger>>72613071>>72616120>Well yeah, Taner did fight a sickly looking Salazzle, that was indeed male. One of S-512's amoral experiments with a high body count>And Walker saw a sickly looking Salazzle, but does not know beyond that>pokecube soon?>>72602692"Couldn't stand the awkwardness.">Yeah"Nutritious.">And potentially body altering. Sam should go check himself>Leaving just in time to leave some questions on whoever comes across this crater later(That the thing with Kauket, she always has a new trick)(...which makes me think, if Kauket herself does know the full extent of her abilities)(And good evening!)
woop
>>72617297No, you're the oppositeYou already got turned into womanBeing turned into a Hisuian Zoroark is just the next stepProbably
>>72602323>>72613071>Makes sense>Maybe that's why she loves tacos, no need for silverware>Sharon will insist to pay for everyone since she's a rich bitch>And then Lightspeed tried to jump through the window and shattered it instead. Or maybe not"Oh that's cool! Let's go then!">Off they go!>Sharon knows only a little bit since she had some hippie-oriented fashion requests before, though they were mostly hipsters and posers, not so much the real deal>But yes, it's good for Razz to have a Razz shoppe>Sharon gives a friendly little wave at the sleepy clerk"Thanks! We're here for our friend here.">She points at the Mismagius that's already going through their collection"She's a real fan of that stuff.">And then a nod at what Taner says>She technically likely -has- an old player at home... But they might as well get one just for Razz, her very own, as a present perhaps"I think we should get one of those, yeah."
>>72619860I don't think killing Doro would help things
>>72617297>mewtwo is too bony>forgiven>Dart’s not the type to ask for dessert unless everyone’s getting some, so probably not>he’s just chillin>like a villain >>72617833>You have failed me/>Eh. If we get around to doing an evil-Slowking-apprehension, it’ll probably involve rangers. Which means, getting Vex under our control and using him as bait, like the original plan anyways. So whatever/>weirdos./>Aw. It’s sooooo gooood/>hm/>Slowking on the spectrum />But ye. O well >>72618022>that he did>soooooooon aaargh
>>72622630>Sliggoo/Goomy?>I thought there was another, but the image your statement brought to mind doesn't seem to be matching any Pokmeon/>Yeah, for us alone, it'll be much easier to get Vex, and then get the rangers to face, uh, what comes after. Though we should probably stick with the rangers ourselves during it, because, um, we may become targets for these people just because they'll be pretty unhappy with us... This isn't going to be pretty, no matter how well we pull it off/>Maybe someday, when I have less, uh, real life horror stuff going on>>72622142(Will add my reply to this after next Beryl reply)>>72618022>Ah, okay>Everything new is going in the timeline now so I'll have a better recollection of all of it lol>And eventually the old stuff too, when I can get there>Pokecube whenever, I'll be glad to respond to any extra questions that come my way about it but otherwise I don't think I'm much involved in that scene
>>72617816(Taner you misclicked!)>>72619860The only way to turn into a Hisuian Zoroark would be to die, and I don't think I'm quite there yetAlso Hisuian Zoroark are fueld by spite, rage and bitterness so I dunno if I'd want that>>72622220He can try but he'd fail>>72622630>I guess I see it, I don't mind myself>Thank you Dart your generosity knows no bounds>Then with the celebrations about wrapped up is it indeed time for the chilling to commence>Get in the freezer>Dart is free to hang around as long as he likes of course, though there will be a distinct lack of free restaurant food
>>72622220No, it wouldTrust me on that, I have a plan>>72623943Nah you're already deadYou just don't realize it yetYou're already fueled by spite, bitterness and rage.Actually I might be thinking of a Delphox
>>72623987I don't think you know hokuto shinkenYeah I think you've mistaken me for a different fox, don't let her know you said that or you might also be dead before you know it.
>>72617816(That's because it's exactly what it is lol. With Ivy I'm 95% happy with her style/artist mix, but with Kaz... I can never seem to get a mix that's reliable enough. It's either too muscular, not muscular enough, too tall and slender, or too short and stumpy, or whatever else...)>Oh whoops, my bad"Oh, right...">Yeah!>That sounds about right, and why asking Dart is a good idea, too>And that... Yeah>True, and same for Prenne of course>Yeah, the tricky part is finding a balance with lawfulness, and not>Also fair>Makes sense lol>Still even he probably isn't as well versed in that as he is battle smarts, which would make sense>Indeed Oceana is pretty good at hiding how she feels, especially when it's something not so pleasant>Yes, and they are! Even Prenne has started to accept that Ivy is not a bad kid, she's just a little rough around the edges>>72617833>There are! And true lol>I'll probably try to develop them a bit later, at least after Cirrus and Ivy have had their individual scenes...>Yes, exactly>That seems very unlikely by now. And that's likely thanks to all the love and support they gave her>Oh man lol>I had completely forgotten about that, good find>Hard to believe that was over 2 years ago now>Kaz lowers himself a little to facilitate the pat, he likes it>He might be a big boy now but he still appreciates his family's praise and encouragement"See you in a bit!">And wave back they will!>Yes indeed. It feels like this'll really give them the chance to connect, which is particularly important for her since she's away from them so often>But for now, that's the end of this scene!>A good little scene, and a fun interaction(Good luck!)
>>72623943exactlyyou are the least spiteful Zork I've seenyou'd probably end as another kind of ghostif any at all>>72623987is the plan a big old brick>>72622630Soon>>72623346>Maybe he is thinking of Gulpin>Not so much about new things but also recollecting old info
>>72624303Yes>>72624090I know you're a fucking weebI'm probably more afraid of Backpack with a knife
>>72623346>I hate you >I’m dropping this/>Oh yeah for sure. I was thinking about witness protection the other day, and um, the logistics of doing that with Vex./>Cmon Taner, how else will you learn how to deal with horror situations than to watch horror movies? >>72623943>It’s alright, I just gravitate towards the more cat-like of designs >Chilling>Chilled>He’ll stick around long enough to briefly assert his “I was Doro’s friend before you guys were” vibes to the rest of Doro’s team >Dart out here never hanging out with Doro unless he can brag about it
>>72624303You've seen other Zorks?That said I do think Hisuian Zoroark look cool, they would be a great ghost to end up as if it didn't come with burning hatred bundled inBut yeah probably something else if anything>>72624335You made the reference firstMaybe I should get a knife to counter your brick.>>72624473>You love cat pokemon, got it>Frosty even>He is one the privileged few, even gave Doro HP Steel, I remember>Well now he can brag about how he knows Doro the literal Pokemon trainer>Once Doro hits it big Dart can show up one day talking about how they knew each other a long time ago and they should hang out more
>>72623943(Opps!)>>72624139(Sorry for the mislink!)(Yeah. As you've commented, Star is really easy in any style, as is Taner, but once you get into more varied characters, getting them consistent across models becomes really hard)(Though, from what I'm seeing, to a varying degree, Sekhmet seems to have stayed pretty consistent)>It worked out>Speaking of, Dart visits Doro for a bit during this last gym, so if you want to actually do that scene, saying this happened shortly before Spikemuth-- say, 1/15/25-- will allow you to play that scene with Kaz, if you want!>I wouldn't expect Prenne would think differently on that one, though she may have reason to feel even less confident in the law than Oceana, considering her own past>Yes... Oceana is glad that burden isn't going to fall entirely on her shoulders, if even some of it does perhaps she'll try asking Ra and letting him sort it out lol>Yes, on all three of those>Perhaps she still could stand to be a bit less rough, but at this point it's more of a "oh, Ivy" thing, than a "Arceus NO, Ivy!" thing>Fair enough!>Yup, see above>Fea is very proud that he was able to take that confidence Fina gave him that night and run with it, bolstering his own for all the nights after... perhaps a smaller scene for Fina, but it made a lot of difference for him>It stuck with me as the only time I've seen Prenne that way, but it made perfect sense>Wow, now I feel old... and like the timeline is going to be even harder than I thought lol>Kaz is awesome"Farewell.">It is it really makes a difference, already Oceana feels less like she's disconnected from her family than she was a few minutes ago>Good scene! And I'm very glad we decided to run it>>72624303>Gulpin is probably what he's thinking of>Ah, well, I'm here to provide it!>>72624473>It was Gulpin/>I don't think watching horror movies will help me in real life. It might make it worse.
>>72624861Reference to what?You're not scary with a knifeYou come across like one of those 'edgy' stuffed dolls that have the fake plastic knife that try to look scary but aren't
>>72618022>Indeed!>But for now, a nice little nap with the pillowy ghost gf>Whoever comes across this strange pond of white liquid later will be very confused indeed>That night, Sam will once again have very strange dreams>Dreams of leaving his body to go explore on his own, floating away freely, dreams that that feel way too real to just be dreams(Very true, she's full of them)(It's likely she doesn't, and much less yet, the source of them, because that's definitely not part of a standard Mimikyu moveset)(But that is for a later reveal)(And likewise!)(Also we cubing?)
>>72617816>Yes, Phoxy is Phoxy.>She wouldn't be Phoxy if she wasn't Phoxy.>The Phoxy conundrum.>The Phoxy parable.>>72616160>More racism."I burn the dirt off with my flames. No, I don't get dirty when going in my den. It's as dirty as you get dirty when you walk on dry ground. And I put leaves in it and other soft materials so it's more... Soft when I lie down. And my wand heats up the whole place. Pretty warm even in the harsh cold.">She crosses her arms."After all, some humans sleep in those ice things called igloos. Don't see them complain about it too much.">She briefly looks at Blazy."Had to expand the place a tiny bit recently though.">She doesn't really mention how this hole is where her parents are buried too.>Thankfully the place is comfy enough for the Blaziken too.>She can even sleep on Phoxy's plump BUTT when needed.>>72614671Damnit you want a reward too you f... I mean, I dunno, it's not open yet, I only heard rumors~
>>72624882(All good!)(Mhm, exactly, especially when they're so unusual looking)(The irony is Sekhmet only really gets away with it because she's a shapeshifter to begin with, so all I really need to worry about are the eyes and overall "vibe" and she's more or less recognizable lol)>Yes>Oh? That could work!>So where would they be, then?>Prenne's case is a bit different because she knew the lab operated outside the law... They just got away with it because money>Yes, and perhaps Ra will help with that too lol>Yeah exactly. What matters is that she's improving, little by little>That's true. It sounded pretty grim that one night, but he didn't give up, and in the end he started seeing some small results>In that case yeah, that's a pretty intense moment for her>Yep lol, sorry!>He is, or at least he tries to be!>True, and it didn't take much either!>Yeah, me too! Sometimes it's tempting to skip ahead to the big stuff, but these smaller setup scenes do help to build things along the way
>>72624882>GULPIN MY NUTS >AAAHAHAHA>HAHAH>AAAAAH>AAAAAAH>AAAAAAAAH/>I can also guarantee we do not have the same movie taste so yeah there’s also that />Or maybe it’s just like… the same movie perspective. I dunno. But I’m judging you. For something. I think. Feel my judging eyes upon you.>>72626258>did you see that gulpin prank I just pulled>it was awesome“Yes, I thought you’d be fine temperature-wise. Fire types may just have the most reliable body temperature regulation among Pokemon.”>Quin has never heard of an igloo“I will have to look that up.”>Yeah that does not need to be mentioned>Quin was waiting for her to mention how everyone else sleeps, assuming they shared a home, but it seems it’s just the fire types that live in the hole>Or maybe the Falinks too. Either way, not super important>I keep having to remind myself that Blazy is not the 9 foot tall colossus known as Becky, and is in fact capable of sleeping in the fox den “You should steal yourself a pillow. Or collect Blazy’s plumage to make one. That sounds like a comfortable idea to me.”
>>72613071>>72613071>The receptionist maintains their stare on you two while pointing at Razz"She's, like, your, uh, wallet and stuff?">They say, blinking one eye at a time as they stare at Razz"Is she, like, your grandma or something?">Razz giggles as she holds the vinyl to herself, before placing it on the side and flicking through the stack with a paradoxical mixture of speed and care"These are all real fresh dives, man. It's like, I'm back at home and I'm with my parents and we're listening to all the latest cool cats like Elvis and The Beatles, The Doors... then we go home and there's the classics like Bill Hailey, The Crickets, Fats Domino, The Drifters...">Memories of her old life come barging in, back in the days when she had skin, and her name was Yori Mishikawa>The smile dips"...I hope they weren't too upset when I died.">Razz taps on another vinyl before laying it in an increasingly larger stack>She shouldn't dwell on those memories. It's better to be happy now than focus on the unfixable past>The receptionist scratches their head"You want, like, a record player? Oh man, wait a moment...">They, very slowly, go to unlock a padlocked door off to the side of the room. The padlock is dusty and rusty and clearly has not been opened in some time. Flakes of brown rust scatter from it as it clicks open>The receptionist turns a light on, revealing a room full of unused record players, from ancient phonographs to "brand new" (forty years ago) top models"We haven't sold one of these in years man. Take a look around and stuff. Pick whatever you like"
>>72626258>Phox is the Phoxiest Phoxy>>72626878(Or just, "off model")(True, I wonder how hard it'd be to get the hat right in the newer models? Still, it matches with her changing appearance every once in a while as she herself changes somewhat, too)>They'd probably be in the wild area, as close as any of them have been to the wild itself, in Galar, between Circhester and Spikemuth>True, and under normal circumstances, Taner might have gotten more help from the rangers there... he did get help from a certain Doctor who hasn't reappeared for a while>Exactly>Also exactly>It did, I still wonder what you told Fina, it was never on here, but in any case it matters less now because Ivy has known happiness and love, at least of a sort>It was>Yes*2>Yeah, if only because we have so much on "the list" but it's pretty much always been worth it to play them out so I should probably keep that in mind for next time lol>>72626894>...>ok/>Uh, yes, I'm pretty sure that's true./>Well, feel yourself counter judged, for being so judgmental!>>72627424>>72622142>Taner tilts his head slightly"Wallet?">He knows what a wallet is, but he's never heard a person called one before>Then, at Razz"Uh, nope, just a good friend!">Razz seems to be having a good time!>(I have noticed a connection between Beryl characters and older music. Not a bad thing, just something I've noticed :) )>Taner looks at Star, when Razz's smile drops for a moment>He wonders if Star might be able to look them up and see what happened? If it's good, or they are still alive or something, they could tell Razz, and if not, no need to>...Also he's glad Sharon is going to help pay for this>Taner starts looking at record players"Huh. These all look pretty neat, but, well, Razz is the expert, maybe we should wait for her.">Actually, they still have new record players, I have one at home that has vinyl, cassette tape, CD, FM/AM radio, and Bluethooth, all in one device, it's neat
(And now, I must sleep. Goodnight everyone!)
>>72627424>>72627654>Sharon tilts her head at the same time as Taner>She looks over to him, and shrugs>She has no idea either>If anything Sharon's the wallet around here>She then nods"Yeah, what he said. She's been a ghost for uh, at least forty or fifty years? So all of this is really nostalgic for her.">It is good to see Razz so happy, that's true>(It is my headcanon that Beryl is actually a grandpa IRL)>Sharon pats Taner on the shoulder when Razz's smile dips>She shakes her head. Even IF Razz remembers her parents, who they were and where they lived, the chances of them being alive is fairly slim>And then they're brought to an old dusty room"Wow...">With a nod at Taner, she calls Razz over"Hey Razz, come take a look at this!">>72627654(True)(It's not that bad, but admittedly I haven't tried her regular form with Nova yet. The hardest part was the body shape back when she had -just- eaten all those dragons, but uh, she's slimmed down since, so... It shouldn't be too hard)>Alrighty, makes sense>True, but Prenne probably would rather have had someone less official rescuing her than a bunch of people in uniforms anyway- she's had enough of those for a lifetime>Oh right lol. Essentially I just told them Ivy had a physiological condition that caused her to not feel anything from Oxytocin and Serotonin, meaning hugs, touch, relaxing and doing something nice for someone else pretty much had zero effect on her mood, or just about anyway>That's why trying to give her love through the ribbons didn't really do much, and why she's kind of antisocial. Now after all this time she's learned to adapt and she cares for her family, but it's still a "man this would be so annoying if my family died" matter first, and a "I love them I hope nothing bad happens to them" second>Yes>Exactly! Besides, a better way to do it rather than skip them altogether might be to just keep them short and sweet, like this one. No need to have it last two weeks per scene lol
>>72628001(Taner!)(Goodnight!)
>>72624861>Yes>You are not wrong>page refreshed when I was replying to you and then I forgot to re-type it until later grrrr>stay frosty >Yes, pretty much their one and only memorable interaction honestly >I don’t think Dart knows anything about Doro’s fame so that’ll probably have to come up in conversation first >uhuhh>>72627654>I’m so tired/>fug.
>>72627654>>72627654>(Funny enough my coworker was saying that all my tastes remind them of their parents IRL)>(I guess I was born old)>(Sleep well you gooning goons)>The shopkeep lets out an amused chuckle and gives Sharon a rather limp fistbump that scuffs part of her clothing"Right on, girl. This whole store is nostalgia, man. Real, like, old people stuff.">They pat one of the machines, releasing a cloud of dust as Razz floats through the room wistfully"Owner of this place is, like, an old lady and stuff. She likes things like this. We don't really sell much, but hey, a job's a job right?">Once more, with feeling, they scuff your cufflinks>As Razz explores, they variously wipe layers of dust off of each individual piece. It's difficult to say whether any of them actually work. Inattention has rendered them more an artifact than an item>Razz stops at an old hand-crank phonograph, while the attendant moves over to explain for Taner and Sharon's benefit"You, like, turn this crank and stuff. It makes noise. Gotta match the rhythm though. This was back before electricity and stuff. Really oldschool vintage. Probably works. Doesn't need batteries or anything.">For some reason, Razz seems transfixed with it>She takes a tendril and wipes away the dust covering the label>It says "WonderSound, c. 1891">This belongs in a museum, not a store"...When I was a kid, I used to dance with my parents. They had this Sunflora that would, like, turn the crank and then we'd all dance. Then grandma would switch and I'd dance with the Sunflora. Her name was, uh, Rosemary I think. ...Man, she was nice.">She takes a very long, hard look at it>Razz isn't sure whether she feels sad, or happy. Nostalgia can be funny like that"Can we get this one?"
t
oh
>>72625498FunnyWell I'm not trying to look scary, just prepare myself for any brick-wielding maniacsThose sound funny>>72626258Hmm, well even if it's unofficial it could be interesting to try challenging it, maybe after Galar?>>72628247>I knew it>Hate it when that happens>Currently frozen>They should interact more... if I could think of more things for them to do together>Doro brings it up now and then when she has to deal with paparazzi or meets fans, but not all that often in the long run>It'll probably ramp up again once she reaches the Galar tournament
>>72628033>>72628300>Listen to Sharon, and seeing her shake her head>He understands-- maybe there's no point in looking... but so long as Razz doesn't have to be told what they find, it seems like there wouldn't be much harm in it, would there? Perhaps he'll discuss that with Sharon later, among all the other things he wants to speak with her about>And now, listening to the shopkeep and Razz>Taner will avoid the dust cloud, more for Star's sake than his own>And Razz is hit with the major nostalgia, almost painfully so>Taner doesn't really know what to say-- perhaps, it's best to just let that be, there's nothing to add but to acknowledge it and have empathy with how Razz feels"We'll get that one, for sure!">He can't do anything to bring back those times in the old memories she has, but he can help her create new ones that she can look back on with fondness>>72628033(I still need to experiment more with Nova. I can tell it's based on Noob, with all the times someone appears in the background lol)>That's fair>Ah, makes sense and lines up with what the doctor ended up telling Taner later>Still, maybe eventually her body will adjust so she gets something out of a hug through positive reinforcement instead>Fea/Taner/Prenne should give her a candy or TM or something after every hug>Exactly, though the reason many scenes last so long is more because of scheduling issue than the scenes being super long lol>>72628042(And good morning!)>>72628247>Hopefully less so now?>No reply from Taner to that one
I Rana Velenosa.
>>72637007hi ranaprepare for taner to ask you 80 questions
>>72637007phroge
>>72637007How do you run a velenosa? Does it take diesel?
>>72628300>(An old soul as they say)>(Thanks, gonna make sure to get some extra gooning in)>>72636904>Sharon nods slowly>It can't hurt to look first, in any case>>72628300>>72636904>As Sharon's outfit gets scuffed, she does her best to return the firstbump"Uh, right. Well I guess she'd feel right at home then.">Since Razz is OLD>Sharon waves her hand in front of her face as Razz floats through the cloud of nostalgic dust"That so? She come by often?">Maybe they could get Razz a job here or something>STOP SCUFFING>She whistles as she listens to Razz's explanation"Man, this ought to be in a museum. But I guess as long as it works...">She then smiles a little bit"Yeah, Sunflora tend to be have pretty good, uh, vibes about them.">With a nod, she concludes:"Sure, we can!">But then she looks over to the clerk"I mean, can't we? It -is- for sale, right?">She suspects there's a chance the owner is more interested in just keeping this stuff around as souvenir more than anything>>72636904(Yes lol. Sometimes it's fun, but usually you just want to put more emphasis on (solo) )>Yes>Maybe it will, or maybe she'll learn to condition herself to feel good when she ought to... It's a bit tricky (There's also another solution but I'm not even gonna foreshadow it because you're way too good at sniping my plotpoints before I've even introduced them lol)>Yeah that's also very true. At one or two posts a day, it's no wonder things take so long. Maybe next time we both get some time off...(Anyhow, good morning!)
>>72637092Rana Velenosa hates questions!>>72637132Si frog.>>72637289I take flies, berries, and other food. I accept money.
>>72636904>Oh and before I forget for the nth time...>Something I've been meaning to get started on for a while>For a few weeks now, since before Christmas even, Whisper would've started to notice a bit of strangeness around him>At first, it was only a single leaf drifting in front of his eyes, and falling at his feet>Nothing unusual about this, that kind of stuff happens all the time>But that leaf had a rather unique shape, not one from the local species of trees he would recognize>Then, nothing at all during Christmas, just a faint memory that he would soon forget. Oh well>But then, a week after Christmas... Another leaf would do the exact same thing, same shape and everything, too>... And that, in the middle of winter, is a bit harder to explain- especially if you consider the fact that they are also in a different region (the first leaf happened in Kalos)>Third's time the charm, as just earlier this week, yet another leaf would've once again gently floated up to him, and landed at his feet>This is definitely not normal, someone's trying to get Whisper's attention, or send a message, or... Something>It's not clear exactly, but maybe it would be worth seeking advice from his family? What do they all make of this?
>>72637007Hello! I'm not going to ask you 80 questions, but I am going to introduce myself-- my name's Taner, I'm a trainer, and here's a picture of my closest companion, Star, who's an Eevee and is reading over my shoulder, she says hi as well.>>72637092Oh come on now, 20 at most!>>72637524I'm not going to ask you any questions at all now I guess, since you, uh, hate them, but I do admit that I've started to become confused.>>72637518(And I'll wait on Beryl for the Razz part of the reply)(In Pony I often didn't even have to type "solo focus" in at all, so I suppose that got me a bit mixed up to how normal models work lol)>True, especially seeing as, with this crowd, it'd be beneficial too-- even simply on a level of "feeling good when other people do what they expect to make you feel good will give you a better life if you are around people who do that often">Perhaps she can learn to control her own-- nope, stopping there in case I'm sniping something, sorry lol>The speculative part of me is hard to turn off!>Maybe! I have some time off in February, but it may not actually leave me any less busy, depending>>72637552>Oh, here we go!>If it was anyone else but Wishper (or Repose) they might have told Taner and the others the second time it happened, but Whisper is a bit shy for that>Still, when it happens again after Christmas, in the middle of winter, he will whisper something-- just not to Taner and the others yet, just to the air around him"...Hello? Is... someone there?">Should he pick the leaf up?"Should I... pick the leaf up?">He'll do that, unless something seems to indicate he shouldn't>If and only if nothing happens, then moving on to the third time it happens>He picks the leaf up and talks to it"I'm... going to show you to... Taner and Star... and others... okay?">And so, he does that>As for what they make of it, I'll wait for your response to this first seeing as I'm at word limit anyway lol
>>72626894>Phoxy deez nuts.>Looking at Phoxy, she is more fluffy than your average Phox.>No wonder, she loves in the snow, she has that winter coat at all times.>She wasn't going to mention it anyway.>In the hole, only Phoxy, Blazy and the Falinks sleep.>No space for a big Nidoking, and he wouldn't be allowed in.>Jim doesn't need to sleep.>And the Roaring Moon... Well, it has a ball and also wouldn't fit in either.>Blazy blushes a bit."H-Hey, it wouldn't even work, my feathers burn when they fall off!">Phoxy smells enough like Blazy as it is.>>72633618I heard it's very vicious and... Stuff. So yeah, there's that.
>>72637007Yo Rana! What's up?>>72638262I believe it. Somehow I get the feeling I might already know a thing or two about this gym.
>>72637991Master said not ask questions you don't need answer for.
>>72638456Rana Velenosa is looking for money. Do want some money? Do you have some money? Can a frog have a fly?>croak croak
>>72637007"Rana"? Aren't you a pink thing with a big hammer?>Phoxy being bad with names again.>>72638456Nooooooooooooooooo?
>>72639158Well I certainly don't mind having a little extra, makes it less risky if I lose a few battles in a row.I have any flies on me, even if I knew where to go to give them to you. I bet those are a bit harder to come by in the winter, huh?>>72640121Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees?
>>72624335you should upgrade to brick in a sock>>72624861just one, not including any disguised zorkshe was kind of reserved and quiet, but still a good ladliked to gesticulate>>72625730>By the moment someone comes investigate, they will be back home., Hopefully>Hmmm dreams>Floaty dreams>Incorporeal dreams>It has been a bit since last time. And now they are better than just floating off>A bit more control...and he is directing the floating(And she is very much not a standard Mimikyu)(Good evening once again)(Cubing?)>>72639158heya froguhI do not intentionally collect bugs
>>72633618>uhhhuh>You do you>Dart’ll think it’s absurd but no other insight besides that >Lots of stupid stuff happens when he’s not paying attention >Like he probably found flyers for Sharon’s mayoral campaign in the trash can and was like “what”>>72636904>Yes, had a good sleep>Alright>Fin>>72637007This pleases me.>>72638262>darn>you got me>That would be a good observation to make now, yes>Good, keep that fatso on the streets where he belongs >That all makes sense“They do? Hm.”>Thank god these bugs aren’t a buncha Eevees or something>sniffing everything out“Oh well.”>Maybe feathers carefully plucked from the Roaring Moon>Thats definitely a good idea>Dart seems to be handling the bill at this point >Soon, everyone will be legally allowed to ditch
>>72640246No flies...but plenty of money. Make money by delivering boxes for boss. Get the money and get flies. You can get something too.>>72640351Your loss.
>>72640890but, I got other food
guh
>>72640351Huh, neat.I still haven't met too many other Zoroarks myself.>>72640543>Dart's wise and deep commentary>There's always something wacky going on to miss>Yes that, Doro's team might even be on a few of them since they posed for pics for her campaign>Sadly it didn't pan out, maybe someday>>72640890Oh yeah? I know a Blaziken that has a job moving boxes and stuff. Personally I make money in pokemon battles, much less consistant but I'm training and traveling at the same time so it's fun!
>>72639130Oh. But, it's hard to know if you need the answer for a question or not, until you have the answer...Anyway, I'm, uh, happy to answer any questions you may have, myself, so feel free to ask some if you want to. Though I may be slow sometimes!As for, um, giving you food, I would, but I doubt you're in the same region I am? It's hard to give food over the internet. And you do have a trainer so he or she should be giving you enough food, I'd hope?>>72640890Oh, so wait, it seems I misunderstood, your hiring for a moving company, is what I'm getting now. I mean, Lightspeed, my Jolteon friend, does enjoy delivering things and we've consider doing it as a side job, but trainer battles tend to, uh, pay more, when we win.
>>72637991(Taner! You said here's a picture of Star but you posted a picture of Whisper instead!)(Granted that could be Star without her scarf next to him...?)(Alright)(Also I don't think you need to put focus either! Just solo by itself should be enough, maybe (solo:1.5) or something just to be sure)>Yes, very true>Taner, no guessing! But I can safely say it's probably not what you're thinking>I know, no worries, it's all good!>Oh, guess we'll see!>Yeah!>Nothing will indicate he should or shouldn't pick up the leaf>It really is just a leaf, if a bit unusual in appearance>>Talking to the leaf like it's sentient>Damnit Taner why is Whisper so adorable lol>And so he'll show them the leaf!>The leaf is, once again, perfectly normal, save for where it might be from... And how it managed to get all the way over to him... Thrice>If he somehow still has the previous leaf, he'll find that they are very similar, but not identical. In other words, they are likely coming from the same tree, but they are different leaves, it's not just the same one leaf over and over again>Upon closer inspection by... Well, just about anyone in the group really, they would find that the leaf has a small repeating pattern etched along the middle of the leaf, also known as the midrib>The pattern looks a little something like this:... _ _ _ ... ... _ _ _ ... ... _ _ _ ...>And so on>>72640351>True, that'll be someone else's problem>Indeed, these seem to feel even more real than before>If his curiosity brings him to touch stuff while in this floating form, well...>He'll realize upon waking up that, the touch he has touched while "dreaming" has, in fact, been touched irl>Say he moved a cup, it will be moved upon waking up>Now that, is new(Also very true!)(Likewise!)(Yes, Pokecube)
>>72647325(...Shhhh nobody noticed :P )(Ah, I'm used to the old NovelAI tags lol)>I'll cease my guessing!>Yup>In that case, he does pick it up>It's a very Whisper thing to do>When he shows them it, absolutely nobody has any doubts that what the Leafeon is saying happened did happen so they go right to speculation>The first speculation will be that Doro is pranking Whisper, but when >>72643830probably denies that...>The next is that someone is blowing leaves to him? Repose will confirm that nobody has been following them that he can tell, and with all of them there, it'd be pretty hard to sneak up on the group over and over...>He does not have the previous leaf (he didn't think to put that in his satchel), so they can't speculate on if it's the same or not unless it happens again>Lightspeed thinks that maybe -Whisper- has a -move- that he's using without -thinking- about it! It can't be fully dismissed>But then, finally, Taner will look at it more closly>And then, that pattern-- even Taner knows what he thinks that is"Morse code! Um, wait a minute, Star had me memorize this, but it's hard... um...">Taner tries to translate, but Star waves a paw as he gets out a notepad"Do not bother. I believe this is an 'SOS.'">Taner blinks"So, someone is calling for help... And contacting Whisper for it?">Whisper is standing there, unsure of what to do or say>He'd tell Taner that he'd like to help if he could, but there's absolutely no need, he knows Taner, and he knows that if there's someone calling out for help and the trainer becomes aware of it, he'll help them>The only question on everyone's mind right now is... how?
>>72647795(I did! But it's okay)(Yes well, you need to use E6 tags, silly :P)>Good!>Alrighty>Yes, it is>Well it's certainly not their first time something weird has happened to them>That could have been plausible! But it looks like it isn't Doro that time>Indeed, Repose would have not noticed anyone following them, no footsteps or anything, no presence or aura either>Fair enough>It could be! But that seems unlikely... And then the rest...>Indeed!>That's certainly what it looks like in any case, such a pattern wouldn't just appear at random>Probably the most recognized morse code out there>It does seem to be precisely what's going on here>How much it's directed at Whisper because of who he is or what he is, isn't entirely clear>But now, that is a good question. How indeed?>For the time being, there doesn't seem to be a way to help whoever is sending out those leaves>Except... Perhaps if they stumble on someone else who might've also received a leaf>Such as a certain Venusaur>But that of course doesn't have to happen right now if they're still not ready to be posted
>>72640543>>72643830>>72647795>Forgot to mention, Cottonball, Rose, and Willow might've also have had a strange leaf floated up to them>Though whether or not they would think anything of it / notice anything odd about it remains to be seen>And we can't know for sure because Cottonball plays all the Grass types around here lol
>>72648238(You did, but shhhhhhh)(Shhhhhhhhh! :D )>It is not even close to the first time something weird has happened to them>Doro did do a prank that was Whisper related before, but this doesn't seem like something he'd do anyway>Repose is going to be on extra alert after this, but I'd imagine it'd be about the same>Taner has been talking to a lot of Pokemon lately, but if one of them wanted help, why do this roundabout way? Actually, that's a question no matter what: why not just ask?>No, especially repeating like that, and that specific morse code that even people who don't know morse code can recognize>This has happened in both Kalos and Galar, which means... well, it means something, it's another peice of information at least>And Star will use Taner's Pokegear to look up the leaf to find exactly what type of tree it comes from, and if there are any Pokemon associated with that type of tree, or any mythological or symbolic things ether>Whisper will put this one in his satchel, and later, when nobody's watching, he'll say to it"We... are trying to help you... but we... don't know how...">As if it's a radio or something>Can't hurt, anyway!>Taner has been talking to a few grass Pokemon, but hasn't talked about this, and has only had recent luck with one of them (he's not going to wake up the semi-canon Nuzzler hibernating in his backpack)>Now, the question is, do we want to say that this is before Taner has met the Venusaur and after said Venusaur is so agreeable he asks about any strange leaf phonmonon, or do we want to say it's after Taner has met the Venusaur, in which case...>In which case, the leaf would have to be appearing in Sekhmet's stomach if it's appeared for the Venusaur recently, which would certainly be notable>In any case, Taner will ask>And I will ask: Has the 70+ year old Pokemon ever seen something like that before in his lifetime?>>72648335>Fair!>Too bad, I'd love Cball to get in on an arc someday, but yeah
>>72648335>did you message me on accident >>72643830>yeahhh>He’d consider keeping a poster for old times sake, but he wasn’t actually a part of those times, so he’s not doing that
>>72647795>>72648335>Doro does indeed deny any pranking>She already made Whisper turn green, plus her next prank is for a different Eeveelution>Though she doesn't say that last part, better to keep it a secret>Instead it's a cry for help it seems, very odd. Doro's now invested in whatever's going on, even if it seems a Grass type is required>As for Willow, yeah Cottonball would know for sure whether or not he'd react to it>>72648619>Next time she runs for mayor Dart should definitely be the mascot for her campaign
>>72648546(Silly Taner, why are you so silly)>Indeed>Oh right, he did, didn't he?>There's nothing else unusual to report, save for the occasional leaf>It's not constant and it's not at a specific time or anything. Sometimes three weeks go by without a single leaf, sometimes just a week>It doesn't seem like any of them would know what Taner is talking about, if he asks about the leaves>Except for Grass types>They might've gotten one or two, and didn't think much of it>But yes, why not just ask is right>Exactly>It is noteworthy in any case!>It's hard to say exactly what kind of tree the leaf is from, but the most likely candidate based on her research would be a hydrangea of some kind>Which is odd, because that's a shrub, not a tree, so maybe it's not quite that>More research is required>lol classic Whisper>The leaf does not respond, it is a leaf>But yes, you never know>Fair enough (Oh yeah, maybe not that one lol)>The leaf would definitely not be appearing in Sekhmet's stomach, so this is probably before>It's also likely the Venusaur would just be traveling with Taner at first, at least until Sekhmet eats the farm, because well... There wouldn't be much happening up until that point anyway>Perhaps once before, years ago, they might have>But it eventually stopped happening and they might not have thought much of it at the time>And it's also likely they were not even aware of the morse code on it>Yeah...>>72648619>Nope!>Because Rose is with Walker>So if Taner goes: btw Walker did Rose see a weird leaf floating towards her>You can have Walker say: Yes>>72648650>Makes sense>It does seem that way!>But yeah>In any case, see above, in case Taner asks Doro to ask Willow>With Dart as her campaign mascot, there's no way Sharon could've lost!
>>72648619>>72649165>APRIL>God why do I keep calling her Rose>I suck
>>72648650>Making Whisper turn green was a good one, nobody can deny it>Taner is slightly distressed for an hour or two at having encountered a cry for help that he can't answer, but what can he do but move on until there's something more?>And ask every grass type if they've seen it, and if so... where?>>72649165(Because)(Also, probably only one or two more posts, I have to sleep early tonight)>If/when he gets another one, they can compare it>It's a good thing you mentioned times because Star would, of course, be keeping close track of that now>Once a second or third grass type (I'm going to include Cottonball in there even if he can't say so IC) tells Taner that yes, actually, they have seen those leaves, Star is going to do another search, and that's for if any news has been reported on them-- surly a human with grass types or grass type trainers would say something, or if they are left around, some researcher must be finding it odd to find them in regions that those leaves don't belong in...>That's also a good way to know if it's been following them around or just, every grass type Pokemon in a few regions, or worldwide... Assuming she gets anything from it, so many strange events happen daily in this universe, it's probably fairly easy for something to get lost in the noise...>The simple conclusion for why not just ask at this point is: they can't>But if they can't ask, but CAN do this, that's... very odd indeed>Hydrangea?>Once Whisper has another, maybe they'll send it to the League to get tested, because this is totally going in Taner's next League report>After a while, Whisper will do something he hasn't felt the need to do in a long time... and that is pray about it, that if someone is asking for and needs Taner and his help, that they'd be able to help them, somehow>It would be interesting if Beeji was finding leaves in his backpack, though>1 of a very small 2
>>72649165>Okay, fair, so we'll say his traveling with Taner (though he doesn't need a building to work on a farm, only soil, seeds, water and some sunlight)>And when Taner asks him, he'll say... exactly that, it may have happened years ago, but it stopped and nobody thought that much of it, really>How many years ago? Hmm...>Yeah, morse code isn't something most wild Pokemon would think of, even the more curious of them would probably not be able to do anything about it, regardless
>>72640246No.>>72640543"Well, yes, that's why they're rare and valuable. When they don't get SOLD to the previously mentioned ghost.">She is giving the stinky eye to Phoxy while saying that.>Ah yes, let's poke the dragon who mauled Phoxy's delicate face.>Very good idea to get feathers from the feral beast.>Could've just said:>Your life is WORTHLESS.>You serve ZERO purpose.>You should pluck Roaring Moon's feathers NOW.>Besides, Dart got to sleep in the hole once.>Ungrateful.>Dart debt arc begins now.>Mission successful, he is poor now.
>>72649165>It'll be her secret weapon for next time>>72649671>Just wait until they see her next one>Which may be very soon>>72649165>>72649671>In that case Willow's probably seen the leaf in question now and then, after searching his own memories for a bit>But without knowledge of morse code, likely had no idea what to make of it in the end>No pattern to their appearances as far as he could tell>>72649833Yes.
>>72649671>I'm only just now realizing sending Taner a distress signal that he can't even answer is probably one of his worst fears... Uh oh(Alrighty!)>Once again they are similar, but not identical. Same signal on the leaf though>I figured she would, yes, that's why I said that :P>There might be a blogpost or two on the internet, but nothing exactly newsworthy>It's more of a "Huh, you guys seen this?" "Yeah, kinda weird isn't it?" "Oh well">A lot of replies would also be to the effect of "Well I have a Grass type and I haven't seen any leaves, so...">So yes, while it is widespread, it doesn't seem to be big enough for anyone to make a huge deal out of it>But yes, that it certainly is>Correct. As in, the image I posted in my last post (and this one). I know it sounds like a Pokemon but it is a real plant>I assume the league would agree to test it, though it might take a little while to get results...>Praying certainly can't hurt either, that's for sure>For now however, no sign from above>It would be! Though he probably doesn't... Unless he somehow entered the backpack in mower mode...?>>72649685>True, but they might want to wait for the farm to know -where- they'll start planting things around>Indeed>Hard to say, maybe thirty or forty years ago? It didn't make such a big impact at the time>Also that too>>72650012>Yes indeed>And makes sense!
>>72648650>Honestly that’d probably do better for Yanmega’s image than for her image>Maybe next time >>72649165>Oh>okay>>72649217>yes>You’ve saved yourself from me having to correct you >lucky you >>72649833“Ah. I didn’t realize they were valuable.”>She seems to chuckle under her breath>Very similar to my irl reaction when reading the next few lines“I used to collect Pokemon material like that. For bartering. I was rather rude about it. It’s probably good that I stopped.”>Well not entirely but, no longer the obsessive businesswoman she was>Dart hasn’t said anything bad about the hole, it was clearly acceptable >acceptable hole >yes>It is time to send his Mawile spelunking for gems again>back to the mines, for her
Goodnight everyone!>>72650012>>72650227>With info from Willow/Cottonball, and maybe some from online, Star will look at a different metric-- do they appear at the same time/day for everyone all at once, or is it more spread out?>>72650227>Yes, you are absolutely right about that, he knows someone somewhere needs help, their asking everyone they can for help, and he can't even find them to help them-- it's truly a nightmare!>Thankfully he's able to keep distracted enough, due in large part to help from Star, but he can't help thinking about what's happening to whomever it is that's making them try to ask for help like this, and if there is any other way he can help>Whisper may actually reassure Taner a bit too; saying that he's sure that if there's a way to help, and anyone can figure it out, they will>Star will also add that it's possible this message is intended for one specific grass Pokmeon and not even meant for them, but the sender of the message can't "aim" it so it just ended up with a lot of other grass Pokemon too>So, not much on the Internet, but a little bit>Tomorrow, I'll probably have Taner ask all of Porychan lol>So not all grass Pokemon are seeing it... but some are>How many regions confirmed? How many seem excluded? Star writes down everything and looks for any patterns she can find... if it weren't for the possibility of this being something serious, it'd almost be fun for her>I appreciate those reference images, as well as the one with the leaf :)>I've heard of Hydrangea bushes before, it's a funny word so it stuck in my mind>He may also ask Sekhmet, while he's at it, she's been around a while, maybe she's seen something like that-- though she's not grass type, clearly>Oh, I meant because the Nuzleaf may be sleeping there, Beeji might find a pile of leaves that just accumulated around him or something lol>True>That's interesting info to Taner... at least it seems like it might be slightly less urgent?>And goodnight!

>>72564888"Ehh, it's not really any more or less complicated, actually. Any diety relevant to this also has its own free will, so it's just another layer of chance on top.

So, uh. To anyone here with grass Pokemon or who is one, I have an odd question: have you noticed any odd leaves blowing in front of you? Especially in areas where they wouldn't normally be? And if so, if you managed to take a look at them, have they had an SOS in Morse code on them?This has happened to Whisper and some others too, so I'm hoping to figure out, well, anything at all about it.>>72650986>>72637518>Taner might chough a bit with all the dust, but Star is fine-->Wait, nope, she just had three big sneezes>Sharon said everything he might have, so Taner waits to see what the shopkeeper says"Well, that's good, it sounds like a nice hobby!">Like a trainer, but instead of catching Pokemon, she catches old stuff and sells them >And it does still work! Taner was a bit worried about that, with all the dust-- dust isn't good for things, generally>Especially when it erodes entire price tags!>Taner really likes seeing Razz so... Content, just happy in a simple way>He's glad she suggested this idea-- they should try to get stuff from the past for her more often, maybe have a room in the castle that makes her feel at home that way>And then...>Taner leans as well in as Razz gets serious, so now they are all in a huddle of sorts>Taner's eyes light up "That sounds like a great idea! I'll be there to help, if I can! What exactly do you have in mind?">Is she going to help run a shop like this one? Taner can't really think of what else she might mean, he knows she's probably not going to go into live streaming which is where his first thought was>$400 poke? Taner has no idea if that's a good deal or not>>72651078Thank you and good morning!>>72654696Yeah. Many of my family would probably be fine too, but I doubt they'd enjoy it.They are? Anyway, while it isn't their fault, it's still a fact! And I want my medical to be as good as possible, when I need it. When was the first working Pokemon Center, I wonder? It has to be after electricity...
>>72658403I mean, he doesn't deliver stuff for your boss yet, but he might consider doing it every once in a while, if he got a job offer or something. Though it'd have to be some payment other than flies.I guess I'd have to meet your boss first, before knowing if Jolteon or any of the others might want to work for them, it also depends on what exactly he's moving and if it's on the up-and-up and all that. Sadly, we don't have any physical flies on the digital web, it's called that because it's connected like a web. Just like frogs are said to have "webbed feet" but there aren't actual bug webs on their feet. I'd email you flies if I could, I know a swamp that has way too many of them!>>72654696>It's hard to tell what his eyes are doing with those Black Glasses, but his body certainly doesn't react as much as one might expect, that's Umbreon's for you... Or maybe that's just Repose>How much are we saying that Sitrus heals? It's 25% in the games, and 25% of 4 is is 1, so that seems right, putting Mint at 1.5, probably >The way the moves have been so far this battle, it's a good bet that the last move isn't a Dark type move>So when Repose is hit by that glowing light, he finds himself knowing: he's unable to use Payback again for now, it just... isn't there>And the confusion doesn't seem to be effecting Mint as much as the Umbreon might hope>So, now that he can't use Payback, can't use Moonlight (for another 4 turns) and using Confuse Ray would be useless, what will that last move be?>Well, it's a good thing for him that he did use all his other moves this battle, because that last move is, in fact, his Last Resort>A Normal type move that can only be used if all other moves are, but in the games it has base damage of 140, so here we'll go with... 1.4? Up to you if you want it to be 1.25 instead, I'm cool with that>And hits on 1-8>Repose: 1.8/4(New update for Mint specifically: he has a jacket now ( https://files.catbox.moe/95hkt4.jpg ))
>>72654705>Oceana seems to float on that for a moment"It is just another layer on top, but it's one that makes it harder to see some things as happenstance. As an example, is it a coincidence that when looking for a site to post on, you ran into Porychan? Before I would have said it was certain to be, now I don't know if I can be sure. Not that there's any point going down Raboot holes like that one, anyway. I'm sure my sister would say that if it doesn't allow you to make more accurate future predictions, it isn't really important.">She has a lot of sisters, but somehow Mint knows she's talking about Star there>Oceana herself seems to consider it more an academic curiosity than anything else, though Mint remains with the feeling that this has been actually relevant to her in some way fairly recently>Her face is impassive at most of that, and she only shakes her head at the end"Good luck.">Is the only thought she has to share regarding all of it>Ironically, Taner himself would considering lying to be far lower on the list of "bad things" than killing>Also ironically, Taner wouldn't consider a Pokemon eating a human any worse than a Pokmeon eating a Pokemon, seeing as he sees them as equals>For animals, Taner wouldn't have any objection to population control, but for Pokemon that he feels “could have been someone's Star”, he'd feel about the same as if someone suggested that really, since humans are causing some pretty bad consequences on the local (and global) ecosystems, stabbing a homeless dude is actually a net good for the world... the logic is there, but it's too cold for Taner to ever accept it>Yes, thankfully it probably won't come up at all-- I'm giving a lot more information than I normally would about Taner's thoughts in greentext, but I feel with the surface reading/being around Taner for a bit, it's fairer that Mint would know much of this, without even having a conversation about it>But it does mean this is 1/2, whoops
>>72651514>Even true randomness is some information, just not the most useful right now>It does mean that if it's one Pokemon, it's not really in any of the places that the leaves are appearing, unless it can teleport>It's a conundrum all around>Poor Taner will just have to deal with it, not yeah, if it's been going on for this long it... Probably isn't as time sensitive, but that assumes they can solve it at all>And the fact that it's going out to do many Pokemon seems to speak of a sort of desperation, to him at least>You meant Whisper I think, but yes lol>Whisper has a different method of comforting Taner, he thinks about it a lot first and says it with a lot of heart>He just did>So the fact that it's even happening in Galar and Kalos is the anomaly >Perhaps she can start to triangulate some kind of location...>She's going to have Oceana create a site for people to keep track of it (with the ability to submit images of the leafs) and then link everyone who's talking about it online to that site>Yes >That's an interesting take from Sekhmet-- does she think it's some sort of crippled Legendary? Maybe a Celebi that is stuck in multiple times at once? The intention is clear, it's... Everything else that isn't>Though there's also the question of if they only want a Grass type response, or if they'll be fine if Taner responds with the whole team... First though, being able to respond at all would have to happen>And good morning!>>72654705"It sounds like a place one might find some very strange things, but it does sound like it could become a place very similar to the one I live, free from the rangers and a relative secret to most.">Oceana doesn't know it, but Taner has actually talked to someone who claimed to be from Holon before, and they said there was still a lab of some sort there where Delta Pokemon were studied... but then, that was almost two years ago now
>>72663947I would say: "You're on drugs and you're hallucinating".
>>72664328Well, it's a mass hallucination happening to grass Pokemon around the world that I can take pictures of then, which still begs the question as to why it would be happening. I don't think it's drugs, pretty sure I'd know if that was the case, if only from other side effects.
>>72665094Ever tried setting fire to them? No I don't suggest this because I like fire you typist.
