Direct your porn dumps there, not here.Question of the day: What's the spiciest thing you've ever eaten?
>>81057739(Oh byw I hope I didn't ruin the scene. I enjoyed that conflict. Gave me some good inspiration for the next character arc, thanks!)>>81057819(Doro)>Turns out this was just a confusion in the posts.>Whoops.>>81057031(Daniel)>Mick Gordon soundtrack begins to play.>But she gets there eventually.>Damn ghosts.>She retreives the nicely packaged letter.>Feels weird to see something addressed to her in a human made package.>>81058054(Teleo)>Found out."Hehe, you got me.">A Gengar pops out of the shadow.>And lands on his butt with a cartoonish sound."Hey there. I'm "Jim"">The Gengar looks at you.>He's the third member of the Phoxy crew.>HAH.!>Phoxy!>Phoxy crew!>>81057639>Good thing you'd have to try harder than that to hurt the Nidoking."Gah, damn fucking thing!">He uses Rock Blast and throws a bunch of shit at the bird.>Hopefully these also end up hitting the guards.>Phoxy gets irritated."Fine then. Let's take it up the next level!">The Phox slams her wand on the ground.>Phoxy uses Fire Blast.>Let's see how it handles this.>Kong can tank a few hits.>But her team is a bit too busy to assist Kong!
>>81055157 (Doro)>>81057274 (Teleo)“Why not¿ think of it as PRANKING the system, Doro¡”>Wha-et turns to Teleo giving him some lewd eyes“I don’t understand THOSE games, they are too complex... Only got in and played with the slots until those stopped working correctly and I tried to repair them. Might sneak in if I wear clothes tho. I could go as your huuu girl of the night~”>His ears Perk up at stealing Doro’s powers“You are right, I could DO that right nooow, HooooOoo”>Wha-et wiggles his ribbons in the air towards Doro like a magician>Wha-et stands on two with his paws on Teleo’s midsection“But that whole debt wasn’t real, no need to pay anything, don’t you TRUST me¿”>It looks like if they want to settle the debt it has to be without Wha-et in the middle.>Wha-et acts offended looking to the side“I have NO idea what you are talking about I’m just being as FREINDLY as any SYLVEON. No need to Check me or anything like that,”>Wha-et hears Teleo’s response and quickly adds, without hesitation“Yeah same with me¡”>Wha-et wraps a ribbon around Teleo’s hip passively“COLORS are very important, Doro, they CHANGE the vibes¡”>He circles a ribbon around Teleo’s hand“Ho I will do that and more~”>Effeminate support group session 1 starts“Bah, those terms only work with hummies and hummie-likes, the standard PINK causes mons to get confused...”>And obviously the Sylveon’s ass but he won’t mention that“Beautiful colors... Doro could you PLAY a movie in your hair¿”>The Sylveon’s greed knows no bounds.
>>81058188I like spicy food, at least when it enhances the flavor, too spicy and it usually ruins it.It was some kind of pepper, habanero I think? That one really burned! Flow dared me to try it.>>81050622>>81050647>>81057890"I'll try!">Double battles are something Doro would like more practice in, after all"I suppose... but do we need more unknowns?">Sounds risky.>Though being far away is a smart idea"Haven't thought that far ahead about it. Taner, Star?">She glances curiously at them, wondering if either of them had a plan for separating the two shades>The idea of wearing spiked helmet to avoid being controlled is pretty funny though>As for the topic of Wha-et..."Of course! Showing my cards too early would be dumb!">Meanwhile, Doro can see Taner's concern, chuckling as he gets an explanation"Yeah, basically. I only plan to use this juicy footage if he tries to push some bogus debt onto me or reguses to pay me back something he owes me. Besides the worst that'd happen is he gets scolded by his owner for breaking things.">Or at least from how spoiled the Sylveon is, he assumes he wouldn't get worse than a scolding.>>81058418>Doro nods as she talks"Yeah, that'd work. I brought enough for the first month's payment.">At her suggestion, the Zoroark pauses and looks at the skimpy bikini"Ah right, u-um... sure!">Blushing, she strips out of her trainer outfit piece by piece as the bun continues>Doro can feel her face heating up as she makes proposition"A whole month you say? That... seems like a really good deal~">Now fully stripped, the curvy Zork takes her new red bikini and slips it on with a little effort"...Wow, yeah this fits perfectly!">She admires herself, turning side to side to look at how it holds her form so tightly
>>81058188(boxed beef noodles.)(i miss them though.)
>>81057274>>81058570"Huh. Well if you plan to use it to get into a casino, I don't think you'd have much luck, I doubt Zoroark are welcome in there for obvious reasons...">Doro's eyes widen as they discuss stealing his illusions>The fox reaches up and pokes a ribbon"What if I end up snatching your fairy powers instead, hmm?">Wink wonk>When Teleo offers, the fox smiles and shakes his head"Ahh, nah it wouldn't be right if you paid off his debt. Which was completely real!">To Doro, the cash was important, but secondary to Wha-et paying him back>The fox laughs at Wha-et feigned innocence"That only works with people who don't know you.">Still, he appreciates Teleo's promise, looking surprised when Wha-et agrees to it as well"Thanks you two, that makes me feel better.">The fox looks between the two lovey dovey mons"You two really are a great match, heh.">Effeminate support group, needed for all male Zoroark, Gardevoir, Delphoxand Sylveon"Mons too, huh? I guess it's a universal constant that pink confuses people">That certainly doesn't help.>The fox pauses and thinks about that question"Huh... maybe? I think it wouldn't look great, imagining a movie spread across strands of hair would look really weird, it'd be more like a solid shape.">For a moment, the colors in Doro's hair change to various mixtures of colors, attempting to form an image, but it looks more like a picasso painting leaking out of his hair for a moment until the illusion dissipates"...Something I'd need to practice."
>>81058188There was this hole in the wall restaurant that we ended up stumbling on while on the Major Division circuit, real mom and pop place. Boasted the spiciest wing sauce in the world! Course, I had to try. It was probably the best sauce I've had at that point. Until I couldn't even feel my face. Pure agony for almost 30 minutes, and I like to think I'm pretty tolerant of spicy foods>>81058476(You're good, I was enjoying it too, I'd just rather it not escalate to blows if possible)>He regards the ghost with a flat expression, frown still plastered on his face>Honestly looks more menacing than he really means"Hello, "jim". I'm sorry you're catching me at a bad time. What do you want">His voice is strained, and his breathing is shaky at best. The band really is a last resort sort of thing>>81058570>>81058863>He snorts at the fairy and ruffles his fur"I can always teach you, we can play some of the easier and honestly more fun games than poker. Sounds fun~">And to Doro"That's true... And unfair. Honestly if Zoroark are banned then Inteleon should be too. Do you know how easy it is to read people at the poker table with our eyes?">Ancient fey rites are a marvel to behold"Careful Doro, let this ritual last any longer and you'll never cast an illusion again!">Oooh, a power trade. Like freaky friday but with magical abilities"I believe you, love. I was just offering to help a friend out. 100 poke just seems mighty important to Doro!">He gives him a quick smooch on the nose"If you say so Doro, as long as everything is settled! Which it should have been!">He starts to blush again as Wha-et slowly wraps around him"Y-yes, they certainly do!">He gives the fairy a wink"Looking forward to it">Dear Arceus above that ass>Very impressive trick"A film would be hard to watch.Maybe if you flattened your mane out it could work, but that defeats the point. Honestly, that sort of illusion would look fantastic for the calendar!"
>>81057849>>81057565>>81057509>>81058476>Taner does walk in first, with Phoxy and Blazy behind, and is already turning to start walking over to Teleo, Wha-et, and Doro, when Teleo starts glowing and looking like he might Dynamax!>Taner begins running over instead of walking, if he goes giant in here, it really won't be pretty!>But he doesn't, and Taner gets there just in time to get that look from Wha-et, which stops him in his tracks for a moment it stuns him so much, he was expecting that Phoxy made people angry and he'd have to try and patch things up, he was NOT expecting that level of vitriol, especially from Wha-et who already knew Phoxy was who she was, Taner even takes a step back"W-what?">He's very confused looking, and a little pained>Then they start just... leaving“Woah, woah, wait! Wait a minute, please! At least tell me what happened, or what's going on! Please? I'm, I'm sorry I talked to her first, I-- how am I supposed know to do anything if nobody will tell me what happened?">It looks like it's just starting to dawn on him that things have gone FAR more sideways with Phoxy than what he's used to>Oceana steps beside Taner"I only caught what happened right before Repose jumped in, but Phoxy looked like she was threatening to have Roaring Moon attack Teleo.">Taner's eyes widen"She... Even she wouldn't go that far, would she? She knows better than that...">He looks at Teleo, to see if he'll confirm that's what happened or not>He doesn't even know about the Thunder Punch attempt yet, and he already looks paler than he did just a moment ago>If you want to say "Teleo tells Taner what happend" so you don't have to write it all out, we can go that route and I'll write the next bit to that>That's assuming that Teleo didn't just walk away with Wha-et instead of stopping even for long enough for Oceana to tell Taner, but if he did, Taner will run to catch up>This may in fact not be a good time for Jim to show up, he may want to stay hidden
>>81057527That is the thing, the evolution from Pawmo to Pawmot is induced through extensive walking. I fear something happened in that stage, with his previous trainer.>>81057639I was thinking carpentry, your choice of if with or without power tools. It could be a nice workout, while still doing something with your time.>>81058476>Not just an human made package, an official package from the Kalos league>It got documentation, rules, etc, etc...and a nice physical Trainer ID, to go with the digital registration.>Of course nothing in life is simple, as a familiar face pokes out of a mailbag"What'cha got theeere?">It is Eff, once again, doing his usual cute face>If it's like he forgot that he got physically bonked in the head and off a second story window
>>81057849 (Wha-et)>>81057509 (Doro)>>81057565 (Phoxy)>>81059099>Seeing Wha-et crouch low in fear of him hurts. It hurts a lot>He places his forehead against the Sylveon's, whispering 'I'm sorry' a few times and strokes his cheek before standing back up and beginning to walk out>Teleo's heavily relying on his umbrella to walk now as the red energy trails off and behind him>Every single minute detail of everyone and everything in the room roars at his heightened senses. He grits his teeth as he feels a migraine blossom behind his eyes>He's about to hobble past Taner until he hears that he has no idea what actually happened>He stops, turns around and looks him in the eyes as he begins to explain what he told the others>He doesn't cut corners or leave out details. He's being fully transparent. The lengthier explanation has him breathing heavily by the end as the pseudo-max continues to wrack his body
>>81059095>>81058863“That sounds like FUN, do you play cards a lot¿ Like in the SPY movies¿”>He leans into Teleo’s touch“It’s a hummie conspiracy against Zoroarks, but I WOULD use the illusions to win big in a casino if I were one...”>The ribbon quickly retreats back to Wha-et“Y-you can’t¡... can you¿ ”>How the tables have turned.“You’d EXPLODE from the RUSH in power you can’t control Doro, this FAIRY magic is to NOT be toyed with¡”“Ho well, if Doro is short on CASH I guess helping wouldn’t be so bad...”>That league pays less and less these days, but he gets a friendly kiss, so everything is settled>Wha-et blushes at the same time but powers through it, it might be the blue color that gives him confidence“Just wanting to SEE what else water types can do~”>Dumpy eevee from eating candies and walking all day.“Well sometimes is not even a surprise to them...”>Wha-et is tripping balls man, thankfully Teleo holds him back enough to not dive his entire head into Doro’s mane“Zoroarks are the best mommies, they have MOVIES in their mane for long travels.”>Endless possibilities
>>81058188I ate a Touga berry once. I think it heavily influenced my distaste for spicy food. Maybe unnecessarily so.
>>81058643[[sleeping, but i'll respond tomorrow!
>>81059099>Taner will need to have a talk with Phoxy next.>He will most likely want an explanation.>>81059095(Aye, a proper battle can happen another day)>He didn't sing the DK rap but with Phoxy.>This is just flavor text.>Some others might be happy to see Jim for once."Hehe. You look like an interesting fellow. Just saying hi.">He sinks back into the ground and pops multiple times around Teleo."I sense something interesting coming from you. Something... Incomplete. Curious. Fascinating. Hehe.">Then pops back in front of you. His face upside down before moving back in normal position."Care to tell me about your story?"
>>81059206Ah, I had no idea that's how that worked, not too familiar with the Pawmot line. That... does paint the picture of his previous trainer having something to do with it. Has he mentioned anything of the sort to you?>>81059722>Teleo blinks>What is happening? WHY is this happening?>His eyes already seemed trained on where Jim pops up next before he even reappears>All Teleo can really do is... Laugh at the absurdity of everything>He hunches over in a laughing fit, resting his head on top of the hands clutching his umbrella, before hacking out a few coughs>He winces as he stands back up and wipes a tear from his eye"Arceus above I needed that. Well, now's not the best time for that, but maybe later. But you'll have to tell me yours, eh?"
>>81059519>>81057849 (Wha-et)>>81057509 (Doro)(I'm working on the Whisper and other replies as we speak, but feel it's currently best to prioritize these ones)(Though, regarding the Whisper/everyone else stuff... I think it might make more sense to say that the Phoxy stuff all happened after the conversation with Whisper, as otherwise things start to not make as much sense? Then we can transition from the Whisper scene to him talking to Doro/Phoxy, or introduce the rest first, depending on how everyone feels)>The fact that he's getting detail on everyone in a room which now houses a large group of Pokemon who range from confused, sad, tense, and angry, would be intense all on it's own>Taner steps back again, but then meets Teleo's eyes, even as scary as they are right now, and listens>And as he listens, an expression of dawning horror takes shape, when Teleo gets to the point about the Thunder Punch attempt, his eyes widen even more than before, and he glances in Phoxy's direction in utter disbelief >Though he clearly doesn't think Teleo is lying, it's just that he apparently did not think that was in character for her-- threats, sure, but actually nearly killing someone?>What the fuck>And then, apparently, she almost unleashed Roaring Moon?!>Taner really wants to believe that she'd never have done that, even if Repose didn't show up, but his legs are shaking slightly by the time Teleo gets to the end of his explanation and his own breathing, while not as heavy as Teleo's by a long shout, has increased, as well as his heart rate>He looks down for just one moment, stunned"She... I... I can't believe that she'd really...">He shakes his head and looks back up, meeting Teleo's eyes again>Why would Teleo ever make all that up? And nobody is disputing it"I believe you, I... That's... D... dang.">They might get the feeling that's as close as Taner gets to cursing>The trainer looks completely lost for a moment, but...>1/2
>>81059722>Yeah, no kidding lol>>81059519>>81057849 (Wha-et)>>81057509 (Doro)>He bows his head and looks at Teleo"I'm sorry.">He then looks into Wha-et's eyes as well"I'm so, so sorry. This shouldn't have happened. I... I invited you here, to a place that was supposed to be relaxing and fun, that was supposed to be SAFE, and-- and, and then she-- one of the others I invited, I trusted, she--">He can't fully bring himself to say it, not easily>Star can, however<She betrayed your trust. She acted in a way that is unacceptable. We know she knows better. She is no longer just a 'wild Pokemon' after three years of travel with others.>>Unlike Taner, who looks miserable (If Wha-et plays this back on his tablet later, he'll see the moment Taner reached up and rubbed tears out of his eyes was while Star was talking) the Eevee on his shoulder looked like she was getting angrier the entire time, though not at Teleo<Regardless of if Teleo and Wha-et chose to leave? We need to tell her to leave. Her actions have consequences.>>Taner chokes a bit and sniffs, his eyes may be a little wet, but he stands back up unsteadily"Yes... we do. That's... that's the right thing to do.">Star looks up at him<I can do it, if you wish.>>Taner shakes his head"No. No, I-- this is my fault, I should do it. I...">He doesn't know if he can say he shouldn't have ever invited her in the first place... without a Future Sight of his own, he wouldn't have considered her going that far a POSSIBILITY, it really does seem like even for Phoxy, this is above and beyond what she normally does>Instead he looks back at Teleo and Wha-et"I understand if you want to go, even after she leaves. That... you have no reason to trust me anymore. Just... know that I'm really sorry. And, um, I'll, I'll send you the meal when it's done if you want? Lightspeed could bring it to you, I'm sure..."
>>81059099>The difference between getting hurt yourself and having someone close being hurt>He trusted in Tanner Phoxy would be safe-ish to be around. The raw idea that he’d put him or any mon in danger, even tangentially never crossed his mind.>He played with fire and got what he deserved, while at worst Phoxy would’ve K.O Wha-et and nothing more, he would’ve been FINE after healing in the mansion. >The stakes do feel higher here tho, with the whole re clipping and not a mere K.O.>>81059519>Wha-et keep his focus on the situation and manages not flinch at having Teleo so close looking like that.>Part of him feels that if this was in any other context, it’d be the coolest shit ever to see him like that, right now he is unaware of the toll in Teleo’s body.>>81059970>>81060051(Sure, I guess we can leave the rest of the eevees for later, wouldn't feel right to meet Repose and then yell at him later in the same day)>Star more calmed wording is like a breath of fresh air, the calm in her voice is somehow re-assuring that while something bad happened, it won't become worse.>He doesn't respond, after all he is still a little scared of Teleo himself, and would rather wait to see what his mate would say he feels kind of trapped between the sword and the wall.>But he squeezes Teleo's hand letting him know that at least he will still be there.>He does record the whole explication and interaction hopefully being recorded would prevent stuff from exploding into something more serious.
>>81059095>>81059559>Wha-et's comment about cards and spy movies has Doro smirking"I bet he gets asked that a lot... you'll have to show Wha-et some James Bond movies.">And on the topic of casinos"I really don't mind, not like I have any interest in gambling my poke away.">Not to mention the trouble Doro could get in for cheating with illusions if he's caught>Seeing Wha-et on the backfoot, Doro's grin widens and his eyes flash pink for a moment... was that an illusion?"Haven't tried it before, but maybe it'd be worth a try, what do you think? I bet I could survive exploding if I have fairy magic on my side!">Then the fox laughs at the absurdity of the scenario"I'm doing fine so long as I win more than I lose, it was about the principle... but yes, it's all squared away.">Especially once he gets the news from Mho>Oh boy they're really going at it...>Doro just looks between the two of them with a slightly amused expression"Yeah, not exactly the easiest or most practical...">Wha-et's comment throws Doro for a loop"M-Mommies? I- that wouldn't actually work, I'd need to remember the entire movie down to the last detail, scene by scene... my imagination's good but my memory is nowhere near that level!">No Wha-et we have food at home, no McDonalds for you
>>81060197(Sounds good. I did write up the Whisper reply, but we can wait on it until we know where the other stuff is going if we want, poor Teleo is getting pulled into three plot threads all happening on the same day as is)>>81052257 (Wha-et)>>81057527 (Teleo)>>" fey sorceries to keep flowers fresh">One of Whisper's leafy ear's flick"PB... he's a Lurantis... he gave me a flower that had a special sap... so it will never wilt... I wear it a lot... But not in the winter, um... just in case it wouldn't like that...">From her expression, Oceana has her own thoughts on that"He does always try to do the 'right thing,' as he sees it, but he can be dangerously naive at times, especially when he ignores Star's advice. I doubt most trainers get into danger as often as he does.">Whisper seems almost offended at Oceana for that"But there are a lot of Pokemon that wouldn't be around... if he didn't help... Not just us... I don't want him to ever stop being him...">Whisper seems to think Oceana's thinking is selfish... but he also seems to have more 'Taner bias' than perhaps any of the rest of them>Oceana sighs"Hmm.>It's clear they've disagreed on this before and both know it goes nowhere>It DID seem to bring Whisper a bit more out of his shell though>But he's very quickly distracted at Wha-et's words>He's wondering the same thing that Teleo asked about>But he doesn't seem as concerned as one might think, after all in his mind if something fishy was going on, he knows Taner would Do Something™>And seeing as Taner introduced Wh-et as a friend and (apparently) knew about his adoption business, Whisper has absolute confidence that the Sylveon is not, in fact, doing anything bad... unless there's something Taner didn't know>Though he is interested in hearing the Sylveon's clarification because that does sound very sus, as was Wha-et's reaction
>>81055553 (Mizzle)I think I might have missed you, but, um, if you see this later, hello!So-- and feel free to not answer anything you don't want to-- do you live at the church? And do they, uh, pay you?>>81043349 (Daniel)I understand the feeling! Good busy, I hope?>>81058643>>81057890 (Zapman)>Taner turns to Doro"If you want, after you've done a few, we could do a double batter together, too!">It's nice to have a more fun thing to look forward to, when mostly on such serious topics>Taner says"Well, I'll need to ask Beryl about more of the details, because while we were planning it, something else happened and I never, uh, really got back to it. Plus, I think we need to at least know his location, which is hard because they keep moving around in a submarine. I also, uh, don't know what the price Beryl is going to want will be, yet. I think he was just going to, um, have the Shelder float off his head...">Then, the debt>Taner squints, but decides... if Doro says he's not going to get in that much trouble for it, it should be fine>Probably>He decides he's going to stay out of that
>>81059099>>81059519>Taner's confusion is understandable, Doro had already moved to get away from Phoxy by the time he arrived, confusedly asking about what actually happened>And so Teleo beats her to the explanation, giving him the full, detailed rundown of events while Doro hangs out at the sides, listening silently>Even hearing it the second time, it still feels surreal to hear it all>>81059970>>81060051>>81060197>Doro lets Taner respond to Teleo, him and Wha-et deserve a response from Taner before she speaks>By the end, Taner almost looks even more shaken than Teleo or Wha-et, poor guy... >She'd like to say none of this is his fault, but it wouldn't even be her place to say it>The fox's eyes do widen slightly when Taner offers to tell Phoxy to leave>It's the right thing to do, of course, but Doro feels there may be... well, danger involved"I can come with you if you want. After that, I think we should talk about our Kalos trip as well...">As awkward as it is, she doubts Taner or Star can deny that this changes things...>Meanwhile, Wha-et recording everything may actually be a very good idea, just in case things get out of hand again>Doro isn't sure if the Roaring Moon should even be anywhere but Area Zero, then again if it shows up again things will really have gone south, so...
>>81059970>>81060051>>81060197>>81060589(I agree with Wha-et, the other meetings can come later once this is resolved)>And now he's upset Taner>Really can't help himself today, huh>The apology is very real. It'd be incredibly hard to lie or hide anything to Teleo right now>He sags, both out of pure exhaustion and disappointment in himself. Why does he keep ruining things?>His high perception doesn't miss the fact that the trainer is also crying, which digs the pit in his stomach deeper>He looks at Wha-et, Taner, Star, Doro and speaks, but every word is like pushing a boulder. He's reaching his limit"I- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry... I just... Keep- ruining things, for everyone. Its not... your fault, you had- no idea. What would happen. I just--">His heart is pounding in his chest. He sniffles and runs a thumb across his snout, looking down at the smear of blood>He hisses and reaches down, ripping the device off his wrist and letting it clatter to the ground>Teleo falls to his knees, panting, still clutching the umbrella. The whiplash of his senses returning back to normal in an instant is intense. He continues after catching his breath"I fear that... Asking her to leave may... make things- significantly worse. Don't put yourself in danger... for my sake. But, as for us...">He looks towards Wha-et with a deeply apologetic expression. The one he betrayed with his stupid boasting and the one who he greatly frightened multiple times"I'm sorry, love. I don't- think my mind is quite as sharp is its supposed.. to be right now. I'll let you make- the decision, without me pressuring you one way or the other. I trust whatever you choose"
>>81060051>I'll type Phoxy's answer now and go to sleep.>After things have died down a bit, Taner will likely want some responses from Phoxy.>He might want to bring some of his team with him.>If still inside, Phoxy will still be sitting on a couch.>Blazy will be in a corner, looking down."Oh I know what you're going to say. "How dare she! The monster! The devil itself! This is the true her!" Oh please.">It either sounds like she doesn't take this seriously.>Or she is just too irritated at the situation to even bother with getting angry."Let me ask you a question. How far would you go to protect your friends.">That's a weird question all of a sudden."Would you fight to protect them? Of course you would, that's just natural. Would you kill?">Where is she going with this."What about the ones you love?">She lifts her wand and points it at Star."What if you saw someone punch Star, right in the mouth. What would you feel? You'd be sad. You'd be angry. You'd hate that someone.">She gets up to be at his level."Let me tell you one thing Taner. If I see someone. Anyone. Hurt my Blazy. I'll turn them into paste. And that goes the same for my friends. Even if it's a one-way relationship and they hate me. Anyone who lays a hand on them. I'll clobber them.">She turns around and walks a few feet."Was it clever to try to punch him? Maybe not, but when you tell me it would be better for everyone I care about it I didn't exist or how I should've just left your lives after you saved mine? I won't let that pass. Bet he forgot to mention this huh?">And then she comes back to you.>This time she speaks via telepathy to you.
>>81060870(Cont.)"But when I hear glass break, and I see the love of my life. The one that was watching over me for all those years. The one that finally makes me feel it's going to be alright, protect herself in fear and some stranger yell at her? In danger? You expect me to smile and say "Don't do this, don't be mean!" I could've just said fuck it and threw Roaring Moon at that idiot. But I didnt. As it stands, I merely just stood next to it as the argument agitated it.">And then she looks at Blazy."What would you do if someone hurt the love of your life?"
>>81059559>>81060200"Lots of card games! Especially the ones where you bluff against other players. I get to cheat at those and make lots of dolla! For whatever reason the humans don't seem to catch on">He chuckles and nods in agreement with Doro"True! I've seen them too many times already, but it would make for a fun movie night marathon! Honestly, that could be a good get together. Play some cards, have some martini's, shaken not stirred, and watch some bond flicks!">Smart decision, fox. The house always wins>He gasps at the flash of pink in Doro's eyes"Look out, Wha-et, he's turning the tide! Looks like he's made of sterner stuff than you were thinking! Oh dear, imagine a Zoroark with the power of an Archfey!">He brings the two into a quick group hug"Then everything's A-Ok and we can drop the topic for good!">Wha-et knows how to get Teleo to fluster and its this type of teasing in public"Ah, haha, y-yes, well I hope I don't disappoint">His blush burns when his eyes glance to Doro watching the two be sweet together>Teleo's brows scrunch in concern as Wha-et tries to crawl deeper into Doro's mane>Quite literally holding him back with the ribbon like those toddler leashes"Uh, Wha-et dear, are you feeling alright?">He gives a confused look to Doro, silently asking if this is a normal effect a gamer mane has on pokemon
>>81060755>>81060589>>81060051>Watching Teleo crumble like that makes him aware of the pain he is in>Wha-et puts the device in his bag, liking it or not that thing might’ve been the only real thing protecting Teleo all along.>The state of Teleo causes tears to run down his face, pushing his face next to his. Ribbons Quickly soaking up the blood that comes out of Teleo’s nose.“Don’t worry Everything will be FINE, it’s all going to be okay.”>After some awkward moments, where Wha-et composes himself enough to speak he voices the conclusion, pointing a ribbon towards Phoxy’s direction.“You need to get to a pokemon Center and AWAY from that thing there¡”>Then he points a ribbon towards Tanner, his eyes obviously partially blame him for all this“And you give us an escort, at least until we are BACK in Luminose, I don’t want to RISK Mis Phox there suddenly CHOOSING to let that thing out of the ball searching for us¡”>How far away are they from Luminose, none of them can use transfer like Doro can, it might be a long or a short trip back to the capital.>The power imbalance is off the charts here“At least if it gets us it would also get one of your FAMILY.”
>>81060589>Taner looks at Doro"I... Think that may be best.">Unspoken, but not unheard, is that this is going to be perhaps up there in the hardest conversations he's ever needed to have>And he's needed to have a lot of hard conversations during his time as a trainer>But... it does need to happen>He's not even thinking beyond that, yet, it seems Doro has>It seems everyone in the room-- aside perhaps Inferno who had to go make sure Fea didn't burn down the kitchen because they really don't need that to happen-- is paying attention to this now, so if Phoxy does try to start a fight, it may be over quickly>First, though>>81060755>>81060197>>81060755>>81061254>It's be more accurate to say the events have upset Taner, rather than Teleo-- even if Teleo had been more gentle in the telling, that wouldn't have helped with the feeling having his trust betrayed by a friend that he's known for a long time>Taner did try to hide that he was crying but yes, that high perception would make it pretty obvious"I, I think everyone would agree that you don't have anything to apologize for. This... I won't say I could have predicted it, but I at least should have talked to you first, and it was wrong of me to invite her back before knowing the full picture.">But then, Teleo falls to his knees"Wh-- are you okay?">Taner forgets about saying that he's not worried about the danger of asking her to leave or seeing what Wha-et decides, instead the trainer very quickly digs in his backpack and is almost instantly holding out a Max Potion, a Max Revive, and after he puts the Revive down, a Max Ether and holds them out to Teleo"Please, use any of these that might help!">He's never seen this before, so he doesn't know which one is the correct one but figures one of them must at least help>Others have gathered around too, and Oceana says"We all know Wish, and can use it if that will help.">Asking for permission first>Then...
>>81061254>>81060589>>81060755>Pokemon Center"Right. Pokemon Center. And, I'll give him an escort, that's the least we can do.">Taner accepts the blame in those eyes, he deserves it>Until that last bit>Wha-et may as well have used a psychic move on Taner, for how much that looked like it hurt"I'll never let that happen, to them, or to you or Teleo. I know you don't trust me, but trust THAT at least!">Star puts a paw on him, as he's shaking again now, perhaps worse than before<He did not mean it. And you know that will not happen in any case. Phoxy crossed a line. And I am sure you are questioning what she would or would not do. But she would not do that. Of that I am confident. Do not allow yourself to be harmed by words said in anger.>>And then she looks at Wha-et<Blame us as you will. But please refrain from causing further harm. It will not help you or your love to spread the suffering around. It will only delay us.>>As soon as he's outside, Taner calls Dredd>Dredd is NPCed at the moment, but he's a large and rather intimidating looking Corviknight"If we need to get there faster, he can fly you, but it shouldn't be far away...">They are already in the middle of Luminose city, the spot was near a park but it wasn't out in the wilderness, it's a big building and probably could host many more groups in other parts of it>They may even have a Pokemon Center on site
>>81060920>>81060200“What¿ aren’t card games supposed to be about LUCK¿ Can’t win if you have a BAD HAND”>Wha-et would be very bad at bluffing“I’d love to watch the movies, but I’ve left MINE all the way back in Paldea,”>His ears go down maybe he should’ve brought all those pirated CDs on his backpack.“Is not gambling I know a surefire WAY to win all the dolla of a casino¡”>Such a proud face on the Sylveon>Wha-et panics at covers his eyes with the ribbons in his mind severing the connection between them“Hmm, good LUCK trying to get anything out of XERNEAS Doro, I already told you SHE only gives magic to US fairies, go find your OWN deities.”>He peeks from behind the ribbons, looking at Doro’s eyes to make sure that pink wasn’t permanent.>Wha-et brings his ribbons into the group hug getting everyone together.>Hugging mons seem to be the best use for his girls.>He smiles at Teleo’s surprising submissiveness and releases him from his ribbons at Doro’s RGB party starts“That actually sounds like a much better movies tbhbhb”>but MOOM>Wha-et’s hyperactive came out when Doro showed so many abstract forms and colors.>With Teleo pulling him back he starts receding until Doro turns the effect off“Huuuh I might have too much to drink, I need to sit down.”>He walking to the table, resting his head on it as he starts eating snacks, filling him up and fighting back the fairy happy hour
>>81060870>>81060883>>81060589>Phoxy seems to have listened in and somewhat predicted what Taner was going to say, and prepared her speech for him and Doro both>Taner doesn't speak through it, he just listens until the end, there's so many emotions in his eyes-- and freshly dried tears among them-- that it's hard to tell how he's feeling other than "hurt">At the end, Star looks like she's very unhappy to be used as an example and is the first to speak instead of Taner<If someone hurt me? Yes, my Taner would protect me.>>Tail swish<If someone -threatened- to hurt me? I would expect Taner to be able to tell how serious the threat was and react accordingly. He is intelligent enough to do that. But you know this. And you know what my own reaction to Taner being threatened is. You have seen it for both of us>>She looks Phoxy dead in the eyes>After all, there have been times Phoxy threatened Taner's life before and she managed to hold herself back long enough to assess the true danger of it<Phoxy. Did you truly believe that Teleo was going to bring harm to Blazy after hearing the sound of glass breaking? Even knowing that he was crippled from past battles, did you truly think that he was a danger to her?>>Star sounds like if Phoxy says yes, she won't be able to tell if Phoxy is lying or just not as smart as Star thought she was>Taner rubs his head, and speaks softly, but less so as he continues"It's... not even about that. If it was just that, Phoxy, that'd be one thing. But you nearly Thunder Punched Teleo. After you knew that might kill him. I invited him here, I TOLD him that he'd be SAFE here, and you made me a liar out of me before he even talked to Blazy once! He wouldn't have even broken the glass at all if he didn't feel his life had been in danger in a place he was supposed to be safe…">Taner catches his breath"Even if he said some truly awful things to you, couldn't you have just... yelled at him? Not tried to... to KILL him?"
>>81058643>>81060566"Sounds like a plan!">He just needs to find a way to go in public"The existence of a smart and seemingly stable Shade is an unknown on itself.">Beat"I mean, relatively stable.">Epsylon is clearly not mentally stable"Maybe have Beeryl on call for the next time he shows up and uh, hope for the best.">Not a good plan>Topic of bothersome sylveons"If anything, you, specifically, need to get more material to exert your own pressure with.">Genuine concern about Doromat issues"Yes, and it was all expensive stuff, behind locked doors."
>>81061504>sike, this is too good of a plot that I have to stay up."I do not care who he is. If he doesn't care what I've been through, then I see no reason why I should either.">Star makes some good points.>But also avoids more inconvenients ones."Well I'm happy to know you're never in a situation where your worst demons come back to haunt you.">She puts her wand back in her fur."Maybe he's not dangerous. Maybe he is. I will not take those risks anymore.">This is ignoring how he almost used his gigantamax ability on her."Attack me if you want. But not her. Never. Her.">She looks back at Blazy.>Her smile, gone."Never...">And back at Taner."You know what. Maybe he's right. Maybe you should've let me die that day when I called for help. That would've been better for everyone.">Phoxy takes out the trainer backpack she got from him. Takes out her friend balls. The mega-stones she got from christmas, and some other things she preciously kept after being given to her.>They're in perfect condition."There. I won't bother you anymore.">She then turns away and walks towards the door.>What will you do?
>>81061923>And her Pokegear.>Forgot to include it, whoops.
>>81060545>>81057527 (Teleo)“Yes¡ unfortunately BEES also like the flowers, so it’s a TRADEOFF,”>Wha-et considers it for a moment.“I am already putting all my PLANT fae power into my CANDY FOREST, can’t divert any of it¡”>Wha-et eyes open wide with the mention of a special sap“That sounds like a delightful gift, we ought to meet later in the year, I wanna see it¡”>Wha-et turns to the eevees discussing between them, somehow conflicting on Tanner’s modus operandi“Well, it has worked so far, no reason to change it right¿ It might give him some Arceus favor or something”“Of course I was a willing participant, I even offered DORO to join the business”>Wha-et shrugs“I had no NEW costumers or mons to offer so I closed business,”>He adds to the broke trainer comment, hoping boasting Tanner’s niceness puts a nice bow to everything his tail wagging happily, trying to get Whisper to mimic the positive vibe“Buuuut he did make sure that no eevee was being harmed, even gifted me CANDIES afterwards¡”
>>81060755>>81061254>>81061486>Oh dear, now Doro looks extremely concerned when Teleo falls to his knees>All the stress on a mon like him is definitely too much, Doro can't fault him for being at his limit"Hey, like Wha-et says it's going to be alright.">But if anyone should be the one giving him support, it's the Sylveon.>As for danger... while each them have struggled to beat Phoxy on relatively equal footing, they have the power of numbers>But Doro isn't thinking so much about strategy>The choice to go to a center is one Doro wholeheartedly agrees with, Teleo certainly needs it>Though she doesn't like Wha-et's desire to take one of Taner's down with them if they were attacked, but Star's right... that does seem far-fetched>Dredd is a good choice, he can get them to a center promptly and nobody's going to interrupt a huge metallic bird>>81060920>>81061519"Sometimes, but if it's poker it's all about deception. I can imagine Teleo being really good at that, what with his eyesight and all.">Apollo levels of perception after all"Just be prepared for Wha-et to never stop calling you James Pond afterwards, heh.">The fox laughs as Wha-et covers his eyes, as though that'd stop whatever's happening"But I'm not stealing from Xerneas, I'm stealing from you! ...Buuut you can have it back.">And when he peeks, Doro's eyes are back to normal... but was that a subtle flash of pink for a moment when he blinked?>Doro accepts the group hug... it's oddly soft in the middle.>Wha-et is losing himself to the pretty colors"I dunno about that, Wha-et...">No buts!>...The fox blinks at Teleo, shrugging with an equally confused face>Thankfully once the lights are off, Wha-et seems to calm down"Oh boy, maybe that's enough wine?">Doro sets aside his nearly finished glass>>81060566>>81061827"Sure Taner!">Yes indeed"There's something weird going on there">Beryl's plan is so simple it might just work"It'll be fiiiine!">Doro thinks they worry too much!
I have an horrendously bad feeling, all of sudden.>>81059954The previous trainer has been unreachable, we adopted Palmer and Caiyo from a day care specializing in Pokemon with disabilities.Originally, it was to help Caiyo but, I couldn't help myself not to help more.
>>81060870>>81061504>>81061576>>81061923>Doro has been silent at this initial back and forth, honestly shocked that Phoxy is immediately going on the offensive like this>Surely she can see how badly she's messed up?>If anything, this attempt to paint her actions as right or justifiable only annoys Doro more>But it was all mostly directed at Taner, so she says nothing for now, even if she had to bite her tongue on a few responses here and there>Star seems much more prepared for this sort of thing than Taner>But Doro can't stay silent when Phoxy speaks up again"Yeah you didn't, you were ready to cripple him because of an argument which had nothing to do with Blazy at all, she's the only reason you didn't.">She shakes her head, thoroughly unconvinced"If some heated words are enough for you to go that far...">The fox is too agitated to finish the thought, but it's clear she doesn't accept that line of reasoning>As for the risks..."He's a retired mon because of a serious injury that won't ever fully recover, Blazy beat our entire team in a 3v1. You wanna talk about risks, how about traveling with a known killer that doesn't actually care about any of you?">She -really- doesn't buy that one, her feelings about the Nidoking coming up unbidden, though she bites back mentioning who exactly he worked for>Doro watches Phoxy drop all the possessions given to her in front of Taner, eyes wide>The pure frustration Doro never even realized she'd felt towards Phoxy bubbled up at the display Doro could only describe as a ceremonial temper tantrum"Saving someone in trouble is the right thing to do.">It's a simple statement, but firm.>She glances at Taner and Star, curious what their response to this is>Doro is torn between giving the stuff to Blazy if they can catch up or simply watching her leave, she didn't get the feeling Phoxy regretted her actions much from that speech
>>81062459>Regrets will come later.>And some shame.>But for now, Phoxy is mostly feeling angry and frustrated, with a great deal of adrenaline.>Waiting for Taner.>But now really gotta sleep
I must sleep niniiite
>>81062459>>81061923"Well that's just a circle of not caring all around then, everyone just not caring about what anyone has been through. 'Maybe' he's not dangerous? We just had to fly him to the dang Pokemon Center, Phoxy! I invited two new friends over for lunch, and ended up flying one of them to the hospital while the other glared at me the entire dang way because -I- put -his- loved one in danger, and I can't blame them at all if they both end up absolutely hating me! You just told me how -you'd- feel about it-- heck, I better be glad that Wha-et isn't like you, or I'd already be dead, wouldn't I?">Taner has no idea what that red glowing stuff was about, he's never seen a Pokmeon use Max Particles without actually growing larger>Star paws a paw on Taner to calm him>He really isn't good at this<Nobody is planning on attacking you. Or her.>>And then Doro says his piece>Star has to agree>And now Phoxy is throwing all her stuff on the ground"I don't regret saving you. And I don't think you are a bad person, Phoxy. If I thought you were a bad person, I'd never have invited you in the first place. That's why I'm so surprised at this, that's why I'm angry about it, because I know you're better than this.">He looks at the stuff on the ground, and deflates>His voice goes soft again, the anger not gone, but replaced with hurt that's deep enough to drown it"If... If my friendship is really that cheap to you. if even after all this time, you think I care so little, and you care so little for me that it's just, that easy for you to throw it all away? Then...">Tears again, he thought the well had run dry, but this day just keeps getting worse"Then you can just go, if that's really how you feel. But if you go into a depression again, I'll save you again. And again. As many times as it freaking takes! So! So...">Taner drops his head, he doesn't even know what he wants to say right now, he can hardly tell what he's even feeling it's all jumbled so much
Goodnight everyone!>>81062417That's not good, I'd... um, well, there's not really much you or I can do with an undirected bad feeling, but I'd trust your instincts.>>81062368>>81060755>Repose-- who it's hard to tell how is feeling due to his glasses and neutral expression but may very well be feeling a bit guilty about not having noticed things were going wrong and stepping in sooner, that's what he DOES and never has he failed this bad-- will pick up the item that Teleo had to cast off and make sure it ends up going with Teleo and Wha-et with Dredd and Taner/Star>Waiting on Teleo for more>>81061827>>81062368"I, uh, suspect he did something that wasn't a part of the normal Shade process... Maybe only the Slowpoke part is a Shade? It'd explain how he kept his mind... uh, sorta. 'Relatively' is doing a lot of work here. Or maybe he made a formula for it...">Then"I don't know if having Beryl on call is a thing I can do, but I'll talk to him about it!">Taner just takes in the conversation between Sam and Doro, he has no idea how much of Doromat Doro has been for Wha-et thus far>Star and the others may have a slight idea, though, if only due to their sense of smell

When Wh-et moves closer he leans heavily against the fairy>one of his hands lets go of the umbrella and shakily wipes some of the tears away“It’s ok, it’s ok, I’m just tired ‘s all… Please dont cry”>His words slur together as he struggles to keep his eyes open>He looks like shit>Feels like it too>He gives a shallow nod to Doro. It’ll be ok>Taner’s saying something, it’s hard to focus, his body just wants to sleep>Some expensive items are placed in front of him. He doesn’t want to waste the revive, those are particularly pricey>He grabs the ether and fumbles to open it it eventually manages to and takes slow sips>Wish? Maybe that would help, wouldn’t make it worse in any case. He gives a shallow nod>Wha-et says something nasty to Taner and Star. He tries to squeeze one of the ribbons and shakes his head no“Don’t blame them, please, it’s not their fault”>Pokemon Center sounds good right now, and he won’t say no to a quick flight to one>He struggles to stand, arms shaking as he puts in all his effort to lift himself up, but his legs won’t cooperate>Not that surprising given he already wasn’t feeling the greatest today>What little progress he makes is gone again as he collapses back down, too exhausted to try again>His old injury is screaming at the abuse he put his body through“Sorry, seems I can’t cease being a burden. I think I’m going to need some assistance moving…”

You still need to show me that candy forest you’re growing!”>He looks over to the Vaporeon“True, I don’t think I’ve heard such outlandish tales from any other trainer that turned out to be truthful, he does seem to get himself into things larger than himself often. But I agree with Whisper that, without people like Taner, the world would be worse off. I think with Star to reign him in, things will be ok”>it did sound pretty sus. Teleo is glad Whisper didn’t react like he thought he would“So long as everyone was fine in the end, I suppose. And if everyone walked away happy, then job well done!”>>81061519>>81062368“It’s all about pretending and keeping your cool. You can win with a bad hand if the others assume you have a winning hand and will fold. If THEY have a strong hand, they might challenge your bluff, in which case you either need to sus out if they’re bluffing too or if you need to fold. It’s all a big mind game”>He shrugs“High level poker is very boring because you fold a majority of the time. Blackjack is honestly more fun than that”>He laughs and shakes his head at Doro“Oh I’m already used to that from back home. And don’t worry Wha-et, I can find some copies”>He looks at the smirking fairy“And what method would that be?”>Balance restored. Doro almost became too powerful>The hug is nice, he closes his eyes and enjoys the moment>Teleo only acts submissive to people he trusts after some poor past experiences“Enough alcohol for now, I’m cutting you off!”>He offers Wha-et a glass of water and makes sure he hydrates himself as he snacks away>He also makes sure Doro has some too

You think I don't care!?">She throws her wand on the ground."Because I do!">She's breathing loudly.>She's feeling the post-adrenaline fatigue now."But I am not...

>>81061444>>81061486>>81067603>>81062368>Asking Wha-et to not cry has the opposite effect, watching Teleo in this state and in this condition has him distraught, he has never being one to hold back feelings.>He can only look at Teleo with say“Sorry...”>Wha-et was about to lash out at Star and Tanner’s hollow promises“Causing harm¡- “>But Teleo squeezes the ribbon and the fairy quickly turns to him, hearing his words“Ookay, if you say so, let’s just get you into the bird.”>That is one HUUUGE bird wtf, and also kind of scary, but he quickly assumes position to board it outside the cabin.>Teleo collapses over Wha-et, pinning him down, having to deal with a limping body is too much in this state.>He turns back to the group and quickly yells“HELP me putting him on Dredd¡”>They eventually manage to put Teleo on the saddle, and Dredd takes flight to the nearest Pokecenter.

They Land at the pokemon center, Dredd gets into the lobby and lets the nurses reach Teleo on his back.“Thanks, Dredd...”>After a quick transfer from saddle to bed, he is now in the care of the nurses with the Sylveon following closely behind>They are asking all kinds of questions that Wha-et can’t answer, he doesn’t even know where Teleo’s ball is, his trainer, his condition etc...

That way when you WIN you make it all back¡”>Infallible plan>it would’ve stop a REAL power transfer“Stop IT Doro I might need that power LATER¡ You can’t have it¡”>Wha-et looks at Doro with eyes half closed, now he is SUSPICIOUS if Doro has fairy magic on his side.>Hmm soft hug, must squeeze more“Do the SHRECK MOVIE¡”>And he gets cut off>Tasty snacks the fairy is chomping down
>>81069943>James PondYou rang?
AH, hello! Sorry for my absence. I was transferring a bunch of stuff to my new Pokegear, since the old one got. Uh.Anvil stood on it. The screen was, like, half black and half purple sparkles. It was very strange. ANYWAY, I am back now. How's everything been?
>>81072741Meh. It's okay.
>>81072862Glad to hear it, thank you. Has everyone been alright, if you know?
>>81072741I accept your apology.Make sure to enforce proper manners in your Aron before he becomes a rebellious car-eating beast. You surely do not want to wait until it’s too late.
>>81073146I guess you could say that, kinda. Not going into details.
>>81073157Gracious thanks. And nice to meet you, if I haven't said that yet. Are you... a trainer with a Yanmega, or an actual Yanmega...?Rest assured, he knows what he did was wrong, and I'm almost totally certain it was an accident regardless.>>81073197That's all I need to hear, thank you very much. As long as nothing untoward has happened, I can avoid putting my foot in it by saying the wrong thing.
>>81072741You should punish anvil, hit him with a newspaper or something, how do you PUNISH a piece of metal¿
>>81073321Eh whatver. You can say what you want, doesn't really matte.
>>81073451>>punish a piece of metal Find a refrigerator and attach him to it like a magnet. For 1 hour.>>81073321We’ve already met. You called me taciturn. Nice to meet you, too. Or perhaps I should say, nice to meet you: 2. The sequel. I am a Yanmega. And, good.
>>81073451I am not going to do that. He doesn't deserve punishment! A reprimand and a statement on being careful, yes. Especially since I want to avoid him growing into a clumsy Lairon. >>81073769Then, thanks again.>>81073854Sorry. I'm pretty terrible with names and faces while I learn who everyone here is. Doubtless I might make the same mistake again, so, uh. Sorry.
>>81074081You're welcome.

How is it so heinous to show a little restraint?">The fox hangs her head with a sigh. This was tough. Real tough.>Doro wasn't sure if Taner would meet Phoxy's challenge head on, but it seemed he did>As harsh as it is... if Phoxy goes through with it, what else is there to say? Doro agrees with his stance.>When Phoxy takes out her pokegear, the wallpaper comes as a surprise, Doro had started getting the idea that she only really tolerated all of them at best>When the Zoroark is confronted with tears in the Delphox's eyes, Doro slowly shakes her head"Of course not. If I thought you didn't care I wouldn't even be talking to you. But I suppose it's because you cared that I never saw how you treated those you don't care about.">And what a difference it is>She stares at the wand on the ground, then back up at the angry Phox, her last statement makes Doro's eyes narrow."A shield? What, you think we'd be okay with you attacking somebody over a petty argument if they could take it?">And then, after a moment of thought"...But you are strong, crazy strong. I think that means you have a responsibilty to not start attacking people just because you feel like it. This isn't the wild.">It's tough because Doro's team knows his deal, if they only knew him as a rude Nidoking that followed Phoxy around they'd probably tolerate him a lot more>But as it is, it'd be really out of character imo if Doro's team started treating him normally despite knowing what they do>I guess it depends what you want out of him and what he's stopping you from doing
>>81069943>>81067886"Well if you always lie, people might catch on and start calling you bluffs.">Teleo's description of high level poker gets a chuckle out of Doro"Makes it sound like everyone's afraid of each other! I guess that makes sense in a way.">Uh-oh, now Wha-et's calling him Mr. Pond"Sorry Teleo, heh.">The fox blinks at Wha-et's scheme"Err... that only works until you run out of money.">Truly a perfect defense"Well -I- might need my illusions, so let's all keep our powers to ourselves, deal?">She holds out a claw to shake, does Wha-et trust her enough to shake on it?>Teleo makes the sensible decision, Doro accepts the water with a gracious nod and takes a sip>Meanwhile, to the rowdy Sylveon"I've only seen that once, I can't do it on demand!">>81072741Rip pokegear, it will forever be missed. At least Anvil can eat it as an extra snack.It's been fine enough, hope you've been doing well!>>81073854>attach him to it like a magnetNow I want to see that happen, though a whole hour seems a bit harsh!Also yo!
>>81062417Then I can only assume the worst. That’s rather unfortunate. Though, if they could get me back on my feet to some capacity, I’m sure they’ll find a way to figure out what’s going wrong>>81072741Ha, well plus 1 to Beryl, pretty sure he guessed that was the case. I hope things have been well on your journey in the meantime. Any news on the egg? Things have been better
>Attached video: an Orrean PDA attached to the rotors and part of the main body of a Rotom Drone, flying around>>81072741thats not the usual magic smokealso, hey>>81062368>>81063825"I'll have to ask all of you to fully record the next encounter with Epsylon. If he is indeed a new breed of Shade, maybe there is a tell beyond retaining the intelligence.">Finally"All that remains is for them to show up.">To Doro"That's what you said before failing to get your debt repaid last time."
>>81074688Neat drone design! Is it waterproof?>>81063825>>81074688"Recording him is a good idea actually, will do! The more angles the better.">The fox can't help chuckling when they mention Beryl"Yeah he's kind of an enigma... but yeah, I guess now we're all just waiting.">Doro is extremely thankful that Star and the others didn't mention that at all, though she tried to be thorough when cleaning up for that exact reason...>The Zoroark can't help looking away with a blush at his observation"W-Wel, uh... he insisted he didn't have the money and... yeah, I'll do better about it in the future."
>>81074421>Phoxy starts to feel like they don't even want to listen to what she has to say.>And that she's been branded as guilty immediatly.>Which is starting to irritate her further.>Doro putting words in her mouth doesn't help either.>She grabs her wand back and grips it tight."So what now. What do you want me to do!">She's reaching her breaking point.>It's more like, he was the house pet of a rich poacher, not Mecha-Hitler 3000.>And I'd be also completely out of character for him to suddenly become a good boy all of a sudden.>Just that 99% of the interactions being "dude wtf you should kill him or get rid of it or pretend he doesn't exist or you're also hitler" kinda annoys me because I can't bring up interesting parts or plot ideas about him.>>81059206>The items look... Funny.>Interesting looking.>Phoxy jumps a few meters in the air as Eff sneaks behind her."DAMNIT!">She catches her breath."You're getting a fucking kick at sneaking up on people? What's wrong with this place!"
>>81074462Oh, that's a good idea.Is it, uh, safe for him to eat wiring, or should I pull that out? Or is it, like, mecha-spaghetti?Doing okay aside that, thanks. I'll be making preparations for that thing soon, I hope.>>81074688It was not good, no. I blame Beryl possessing it for a short time to watch my Egg.Also, Hello.
>>81069943>>81074462“It’s honestly rather complicated. Bluffing all the time isn’t a good strategy for lots of reasons. Do it too much and people will stop folding and start calling with weak hands of their own. On the other side, when you finally have a powerful hand, they might simply fold and you lose out on maximum profit. Then there are players who call every single time, no matter what they have, which will drain steadily drain your chips”>He nods at Doro“Not far off from the truth, I’d say cautious is more accurate”>James Pond might as well be a second name at this point“Oh I’m used to it”>He nods and gives an expression of serious consideration“You may be onto something there Wha-et”>It could all be a trick!“Careful Wha-et, Doro may be trying to get the last of your powers, you need to get them back before she unlocks the secrets of how to wield it!”“It’s a timeless classic, Doro, how do you not remember every scene?”>He hydrates as well and grabs some bites to eat. Still plenty to go around, but with this many pokemon it’s definitely somewhat picked through by now“Do you like watching movies? I know being on the road can make that difficult, but if there’s something released now or within the next week or so that you want to see, I could grab tickets for us all?”>>81074688Oh very neat! Part of the project?
>>81067603>>81069620>>81062368>With that nod, not one but 10 different Pokemon all gather around Teleo, assuming Wha-et will let them>Oceana, Dream, Whisper, Repose, Lightspeed, Freedom-- an Espeon--, Inferno, Fea, and even Star all gather around hold out one paw above Teleo all and use the same move at the same time: Wish>Slightly different shades of white balls of light rise into the air above Teleo, and then all the Pokemon move away so the closest Pokemon for them to come down to will be Teleo and not themselves>It's a powerful healing move on it's own, but like this, it very well may exceed the machines the Pokemon Center has>Regardless of how much that seems to help, Star will then say<Freedom? Get some of Cottonball's cotton and lay it under him. When we lift him up we need to keep his back straight in case it is a spine injury that is at fault. Teleo? Simply lay down. There is no need for you to exert yourself further.>>She doesn't know exactly what's wrong, it probably had to do with that partial transformation, but doesn't want anything making it worse, so he's not even going to get an opportunity to try to pull himself up any more>A bed of cotton is made underneath him... and Freedom, with some considerable effort, seems to be able to lift him up on it herself, using telekinesis, apparently it's easier for her to use it on the cotton under him than him himself>As such, the ride to the Pokemon center is about as comfortable as it could possibly be, given the circumstances... and very short, Dredd can really put on the speed when he needs to>Taner is unable to to meet Wha-et's eyes during any of it>Oceana attached her Friendball to Taner's backpack and transferred into while Freedom helped lift Teleo to Dredd's back>Taner is going to make sure Wha-et doesn't end up being the one barraged with questions, he fields as many as he can so What-et can stay with Teleo>He also doesn't know a lot, he tells the nurses mostly the truth...>1/2
>>81067603>>81069620>>81062368>That being what he knows: Teleo is an independent retired Pokemon from another trainer's team who traveled here to meet him and his friends, and has an old back injury that seems like it may be the source of the issues here>With permission from Teleo or Wha-et, he'll also give them the Dynamax ban that Teleo used, assuming it may have something to do with this>>81069550>By the way, was Phoxy just sitting on the couch while Taner and the others rushed Teleo to the Pokemon Center? She may smell that the food... is probably going to end up burnt, with nobody to attend the kitchen>Aside from her and her group, the large space inside is utterly empty and silent for however long the rest of the group is gone>>81069550>>81074421>Taner looks up at Phoxy>He doesn't like to see her crying, but... he doesn't know what he can do>Doro taking over the conversation for a moment does help, because he doesn't even know what to say anymore at this point>Finally, he finds his voice"W-well then, if you care, and I care, then... why are you DOING this!?">He gestures to all the stuff she threw on the ground, and then the entire room"All this, just because I-- what, I haven't even said ANYTHING yet aside from 'it's not okay to attempt to murder people,' I don't think I'm asking for much here!">His face is no longer pale, it's red"I care about you, Phoxy, I have so many good memories with you and I wanted to keep making more, but if you can't see how what you did today was NOT okay, then how can I ever TRUST you? This day turned from a joyful event into a NIGHTMARE for everyone and I don't want that to ever happen again! If you want me to say this was all okay, I can’t do that for you!">Taner stops standing, he just sits down right there on the ground"I… I don't know what else to say, Phoxy.">Star does know what to say however>The Eevee looks up at Phoxy, it's hard to meet her eyes from the ground but Star does so as best she can1/2
>>81074421>>81069550>>81074920>As for what they want her to do..."I can only speak for Taner and myself. But we are not intending to end our friendship with you. If you leave all the items related to us here on the ground? That is fine. We will give them back to you when you want them again.">She sighs and continues"But Doro is right. This is not the wild. Actions have long-reaching consequences. Here in civilization? Legitimately threatening the life of another is not acceptable behavior. No matter how angry they make you. Maiming someone is not much better.">She sits down, but continues looking up at Phoxy"If following such rules feels like being 'stepped on' to you and you insist that you have no need or desire to learn or change? That is fine. We will accept you as you are.">A pause as she looks around the area in which all the festivities of a few hours ago have died and left the room feeling empty despite the fact that there’s only two less people in it"If the laws of the wild are the only laws you can live by? We will respect that. And we will stop asking you to change. But you must in turn understand that we will not be able to invite you anywhere where different rules apply. No more group events like this one. And very limited travel together outside of the wild.">She tilts her head"Perhaps this is something you would prefer anyway. I can not imagine that today's events pleased you. You do not appear to be any happier with the outcome of this than we are.">>81074769>>81074688>Star blinks<That is a brilliant idea. I am ashamed that we have not been doing that the entire time. The data on imperfect shades alone would have been useful. As well as the moves he used. We will purchase a head-cam for Taner to attach.>>On the debt"I, um, don't think he's going to have much money... you may have to talk to his trainer... Is what he owes really that big of a deal?
>>81074927I don't actually know, don't listen to me for expert pokemon care advice!But it'd probably be safer to remove the battery at the very least.Sounds like a plan!
>>81074769sorta>>81074927uhnever seen Beryl make magic purple smokeat least not of the electronic kindthat's newalso, hey>>81074963very much yes>>81075689>>81074769"I think I have a headcam somewhere. Or at least the head mount, camera missing, or the opposite entirely.">How typical"Never rely too much on Beryl, he is kind of a wild card on things working.">So is Sam but he knows why things may fail, usually>Blushing Doro, now?>Squint"Doro Doro Doro, you need to be more assertive. How did Wha-et even convince you to get in debt if he can not repay it?'>And to Taner"True, but this is also about uh, a formative experience. For everyone involved."
>>81074688That's really cool! Flight achieved!>Text, because Taner doesn't know if Sam is okay with everyone talking about how he's a half-Rotom now online/>Is it fun to fly around?>>81072741That's okay! I know first hand how busy the life of a trainer can be, and how things like that happen!...Though I'm a little surprised that Anvil was able to break a Pokegear, he must be even more heavy than I thought, or stood exactly on the screen, my old one lasted through a lot! I ended up getting a new one when it may have been hacked, though.Things have been... well, mixed bag. But that's how life is sometimes! Sounds like it's about the same for you!>>81073157Hello Dart!>>81074469>>81073451(Not having Taner reply to Teleo/Wha-et replies online until we figure out how things end up in the end)>>81062080>>81067886>Whisper adds"Bees... don't sting unless you make them mad... hornets are pretty bad though... Taner runs away whenever he sees one... really fast.">Then, on the sap"I'll ask Taner if he can ask PB for more... or Star... she was sending some of it to a... um... research place... because she wants to see if can be made to... work on things other than flowers...">That sounds like a Star thing to do alright>Whisper tilts his head again, the leaf falling to the other side of his face and covering the other eye now (pretend I took the effort to mirror this image)"Candy... forest?">Whisper seems to agree with both Wha-et and Teleo, Oceana-- it's hard to tell, it doesn't look like she disagrees but also would rather her family be in less danger less often"Oh.">Whisper says, not sure he knows much more than he did before>There were no Pokemon and no clients, that sounds like... nothing?"That... sounds like him.">That does in fact seem to get Whisper to mimic the vibe! He's still a little bashful about it, but his tail wags! Up and down, instead of left and right, in fact, like a leaf in the wind
>>81075689>>81075484>Phoxy asking what she should do and getting met with a vague answer that doesn't adress her question is peak Taner-coded.>Phoxy just tanks it and tries to look away from Taner.>And mumbles a weak..."...Sorry.">It might sound sincere."I don't expect to be invited anymore anyway...">A few tears drops on the ground.>Phoxy went to turn down the stove in the kitchen.>She's not that stupid.
>>81074920>I went back and reread the whole Nidoking encounter and aftermath>Maybe he was forced into what he did, but he was intent on killing them all, relishing it, and not showing an ounce of remorse after the fact>Which is fine! He's not supposed to be morally good or nice, but at the same time I just don't see how their opinion of him could be any different with that in mind, especially when he takes every opportunity to be nasty to everyone who interacts with him>But they're also Phoxy's friends, and since she's tolerating him they'll do the same. They don't think Phoxy is evil for letting him live or anything.>>81074920>>81075484>>81075689>>81076101>Taner's anguish is infectious, Doro can feel her emotions rising and tries to keep herself calm>While tears aren't staining her face, she's certainly not fully composed>Her final plea brings a fresh wave of frustration to Doro>Star is most composed, so the Zoroark stays silent as the Eevee speaks up, Doro has to add one bit of her own at the very least:"I don't plan to stop being friends with you either.">And when Phoxy finally says sorry, that's what gets Doro's frustrated, stern expression to fall away to one of simple sadness"It means a lot to hear you say that, Phoxy. Thank you.">What angered Doro most of all was the growing suspicion that Phoxy didn't regret her actions one bit and thought she was truly justified>So that comes as a huge relief>But now she's left feeling terrible for the crying Delphox>Sadly, she can't reassure Phoxy's worry completely, but..."C'mon now, you made a mistake, true, but you can learn from it! I don't think leaving you out forever is the right call, right Taner?">Regardless, she does have one more thing to add"But we aren't the ones who really deserve an apology.">Of course, it's probably best if she doesn't approach Teleo or Wha-et in person just yet, so..."You could record a message for them and send it to me or Taner, we could make sure they get it."
>>81063825Hopefully it was nothing.>Or might have been something fiery elsewhere>>81072741Here? Pretty well.>>81074469Indeed. Palmer himself recalls going on extenuating treks with his former trainer but, blacked out somewhere along, only to find himself evolved and crippled.What is your story, if I may inquire?(Sorta still working on how it all happened)>>81074920>Funny, and important>She might feel herself important, as well. Elevated maybe...>...maybe literally, given the jump"Haha!">Eff is laughing uproariously>Literally not a single care for consequences"This place? I can do this anywhere!">Time to jump off the mail bags, onto the floor. May be time to prank elsewhere if not stopped
>>81074081It’s fine.>>81074462A few minutes then. Stuck there with his stubby little legs out. Hi. What is up. Doro.>>81074688I am not tech savvy enough to understand this video.>>81076045Hello Taner. I am so, so atrophied. It is bad. Modern day comforts have ruined me.
>>81069620>>81075044>>81075484>Wish is a powerful drug. Teleo's migraine fades away along with most of the aching in his back. At this point its not really pain keeping him down, but pure exhaustion>Teleo flows Star's instructions, too tired to really argue if we wanted to, but makes sure Wha-et is close by at all times>Dredd is pretty damn fast. It feels like he was only in the air for a few moments, but that could also just be him not really paying attention>All of it is on Wha-et. He keeps a hand placed on the fairy as he murmurs to Teleo. His fur and words are comforting"Thank you. I love you too...">He honestly feels awful about putting Wha-et through this>Eventually they make it into the center, and Teleo is offloaded to a proper bed>When he sees Taner get barraged by questions, he slips his hand into his pocket and produces his luxury ball and holds it out"Here, the required information should all be registered, and you should be able to pull up my prior charts with it">Pretty extensive health history for them to comb through>When he sees Taner pull out the Dynamax band, he quickly adds"Dynamaxing accident, too far from Galar for it to work properly and I was silly enough to try anyways">Partially true. The League would probably start asking questions if info on their prototype bands leaked, granted that already happened with a room full of people>The data's probably already on Pa's PC, not going to be a fun phone call later>He inquires about Wha-et being able to stay with him, still holding onto a ribbon the entire time>When he's about to be wheeled away, he looks over to Taner and Star with a tired smile"Thank you. Please don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault. Things just... got out of hand too quickly for any of it to make sense. I hope you can forgive me as well"
>>81076309He woke up like that all alone? That's terribly cruel... Please give Palmer a hug for meAs for me. Hm. I still haven't told the others here, and honestly I'm not sure I'm comfortable sharing all the details quite yet. Its not something I like to remember. My memory of the actual incident is hazy at best as well, but I can recall what led up to it happening. For now, I suppose it was a catastrophic sailing accident that left my spine severed in my lower back little over a year ago. I've only just regained the ability to walk with an aid 3 months ago
>>81076724Yes, exactly. Hopefully the fridge doesn't fall over from the weight though.Things are... alright. Can't say I'm atrophying though, you gotta start up a training regimen or something!
>>81075484>>81075044>>81077577(Nice dubs)>Wha-et lets the eevees gather around his mate, observing the genuinely beautiful move>He stays close to Teleo and lets Freedom use telekinesis to handle the transfer>All the while his eyes are glued to Teleo, not letting for even a second.>The nurses see Tanner as the only Hummie in the room and thus address him regarding Teleo’s current situation.>Wha-et is just there next yo him when the doctor says they will have to do a thorough review of Teleo and no visitors until he is stable.>The nurse there shoots Wha-et a look that he shouldn’t try to make this any more difficult>In the same motion, Wha-et unwraps Teleo’s hand he wraps on Tanner’s arm>And then he is gone off to the pearly white double doors>Wha-et attached to Tanner by the arm just sits in the center’s lobby waiting...**Stomach Grumbles**>He lays his head on top of Tanner’s legs, directing his hand to pet his head needing some comfort as his tears start to dry and the adrenaline wears off, letting his body process the current needs“I’m hungry...”
>>81073854That sounds like a nice idea, if you get a MAGNET strong enough.I was also thinking he could topple the thing, and put some rocks so it stays UPSIDE down.>>81074081He does¡ He needs to LEARN fear of his SUPERIORS, else he might REBEL and take over your spot as the ALPHA¡>>81074963>>81074462“I can be the player that CALL every single time, sounds simple enough¡ After all. not ALL players will fall for my TRICKS, but I just need TELEO to cave into my pleading eyes”>Wha-et hits Teleo with the baby doll eyes>The new name resonates with the fairy“**Giggles** it fits you secret agent~,”>Wha-et quizzically turns his head 45° degrees“That’s what LENDING is for Doro, that way you can ask for more money, and if you WIN you return it. See Teleo gets it, so it MUST be an infallible plan”>The fairy wraps a ribbon on the claw, shaking it“It’s TRUCE for now¡ But don’t let me CAUGHT you LACKING or I will be taking that Multi-disguise ability”“I know the full thing my heart, is a FAIRY tale after all, learned a ton of words with that movie..”>Wha-et tail starts waggling eating some stuff and recovering sobriety“You see Zoroarks are like ONIONS... they come in layers... hahaha”>Tasty chocolate and crackers“Yeah, we could go and see a movie or a play as long as there is POPCORN.”
>>81074963>>81078403>Doro snickers when Wha-et decides to simply call all the time instead"Clearly Wha-et has solved poker.">Well, hopefully Teleo gets even more used to it, looks like Wha-et likes it>The fox shrugs at the two of them"Welp, go ahead and try if you like! If you end up rich I suppose I'm wrong.">Under threat of having her abilities stolen, Doro slowly nods"Gotcha. You won't catch me off-guard so easily.">Then, with a grin to Teleo"Don't worry, it's a real truce! I definitely don't have any secret fairy powers now, promise.">And now she's under attack for not being a true Shrek superfan"Uhh... I mean it was good but I didn't know it was gonna be on the test!">She shakes her head at the Sylveon"If I'm Shrek then you're definitely Donkey.">yummers"I do! Not a ton of time for it on the road, yeah, but if there's a movie theater in town I like to go and see one while we're there before we move on.">The fox nods in agreement with Wha-et"Yeah, that sounds fun! But Wha-et, the secret to movie theaters is that everyone sneaks in their snacks instead of buying from the theater, and with my illusions that's trivial!"
>>81067886>>81076045“The PROBLEM is that everything makes them mad, did you knew that a BEE shouldn’t fly¿ Proof of using black magic to achieve it.”>Such a smart Sylveon“Hmmm an age-less flower would be quite the exclusive THING to have....”>Wha-et puffs his chest and fixes his bowties, showing that he MEANS business“I planted SOME candy in my BACKYARD and it is ALREADY giving sprouts, it is QUITE the top SECRET operation¡”>He rubs his cheek on Teleo’s side“I will show it to you¡ it is right next to my DEN¡”>Wha-et sings victory in his head, managing to pass his scam as a business, such the gaslighting, lying, domination girlboss he is.“You know Whisper, I never learned how TANNER ended up in the forum.”
>>81078086>He pets the ribbon and gives it one last squeeze before they're separated"I'll let you know as soon as they ok visitors. Don't worry, I just need some rest">And they take him back to assess the damage>>81078403>>81078741>That's cheating, how can he say no to those eyes?"Indeed he has. Wha-et might be able to rinse me with that strategy">No escape, Mr Pond. He quietly accepts his fate"Just don't run out of money ever, Doro, quite simple of a premise I say!">Lending money at a casino is a major red flag"Just be sure that the person who's lending you money isn't a shark, I think you know all too well about how unfair spontaneous debts are""Let's just hope this truce also counts in the dream realm, eh? No uncouth surprise attacks?">He gives Doro the stink eye"That's what someone with secret fairy powers would say...""Sounds like you need to transfer your Shrek knowledge to Doro so she can play the movie for you">He chuckles at the fairy's joke"Well if he's Donkey, what does that make me?">True, they upcharge snacks by like 400 percent"Oh popcorn is always a given. You could do that without the illusions by smuggling them in with your mane, so long as they're in closed containers. Anyways, I can try to see what's screening later and we can decide what to watch. Any genre recommendations?">>81076045>>81078779"That must be true for bees to violate all known laws of aviation. And they're rather tame, so long as you don't pester them! Hornets are always angry though">Star's interested in it too?"That sounds like Star. Has the research come up with anything yet?">He pets the top of Wha-et's head"Then I look forward to it!">He offers Oceana a small shrug and a smile. In all honesty he's more on her side on this one>Teleo is still dubious about this 'business', but is still 50/50 on it actually being a thing"Good point, considering how he's talked about some of the unsavory things you can stumble into on that site"
>>81079467>Wha-et squeezes back, as re-assuring as he can“I’ll wait for you, forever if I have too, It is all gonna be okay...”>And Teleo is gone>Wha-et squeezes back, as re-assuring as he can“I’ll wait for you, forever if I have too, It is all gonna be okay...”>And Teleo is gone >Wha-et waits either inside the center or close to it, asking the clerk every now and then.>He can stay well past the night and sleep on the seats>>81078741>>81079467>Teleo falls for the FAIRY magic to beat all games, Smug Wha-et has beaten another game“It was PRETTY easy tbhbh senpai, Mr pond you’ve fallen into my TRAP¡”“If you are SCARED of being left without money, just start with 1 cent¡ Noy my FAULT your greed prevents YOU from WINNING a game¡”>Winning is what’s important“Ooor Give them a false name, under an illusion, while wearing a mask and through a voice changer and with a fake ID...¡”>Wha-et quickly tries to cover Teleo’s mouth with a ribbon“Shhh that was MY PLAN¡”>He stares at Doro“Then that MEANS I have illusion powers now, maybe a tiny bit of them. After all, I am STILL BLUE Da ba dee... Da ba daaa.”“Don’t worry Doro, you can watch it on repeat for DAYS while traveling¡ it’s just DEDICATION to the art.”>Wha-et maks a metal note of sharing the movie with Doro “You are the CAT; it’s all gentlemanly and STUFF**MEOW**”>Wha-et tail wags“Arceus that’s a great idea, we could even sneak ICE CREAM inside¡ Hmmm I don’t like scary movies what about Comedy¿”
>>81079467(I finally finished this, it took a while)
>>81079467>>81080175>Doro chuckles"How're you gonna get out of this one?">Seems like it's too late to escape"Oh silly me, who knew it was that easy? ...I'm not greedy...">The fox glances back and forth"Yeah, gotta be careful. A fake ID isn't something my illusion can do if they actually check it though.">Wha-et's futile attempt to shush Teleo has her laughing"Ohh so that was your plan, huh? Guess I gotta make sure I never sleep again, that or get myself a dream catcher.">Arms raised, the fox shakes her head"Search me! No fairy powers here! ...But sorry, those colors will disappear if you get out of range.""Uh, that sounds like it'd get boring fast.">Doro is not into marathoning the same movie over and over, it seems"Yeah actually, Puss fits you pretty well!">And onto the snacks. The Zoroark chuckles at Wha-et's praise"Pfft, everyone does it, just using my natural skills for it! Ice cream would work if we're quick.">As for genres..."I like horror, but comedy is fun too. Fantasy and Sci-fi are good too.">>81080599(nice!)
>>81077737He is being hugged extensively.He did got sent to the specialized daycare soon after evolution, and does not remember even getting to say goodbye.I understand why you don't want to deepen on that trauma and, oh dear, that would have left most people crippled for life.>>81076724Maybe a hike would help.Something to get moving.(Sudden realization: I have no pictures of Pawmot in local storage. I need to fix that)
(super bowl started, hence the slowness) >>81076101>>81076304>Taner may not have been so specific but Star and Doro weren't as vague >Taner really hates to see Phoxy crying... He really hates this entire awful, awful day>He knows that for Phoxy, the word "sorry" is much harder to say than it is for some"It's, I don't know if I can say it's 'okay' but... I accept your apology, to me. I'm still a little hurt, but... I'll recover. I. I don't. Maybe we can just have special Phoxy picnics where we only invite you and others we know you're okay with? But... I don't know if I can bring myself to invite you to another thing with new people. Because of me two Pokemon just had one of the worst days of their lives and… and I'm scared, Phoxy. I'm terrified that if we just go back to 'normal' this might happen again, that it might be even worse next time, I can’t go through another day like this, I can’t cause someone more pain like that...">Star speaks up, her voice soft, if still more firm than Taner’s"I do not want you to believe I intended what I suggested as a punishment. If you say you are sorry I trust you.”>A look at Taner, Doro, and Phoxy, probably Blazy too, and much of her own family, all of whom are entirely miserable right now, many of whom have been or are crying"We can not change the past. So let us focus on the future: our goal now is to mend relationships as best we can and prevent anything similar to this from happening. I suggest we all take a break of 10 minutes. During those, think about what you would consider to be the least painful ways to meet those goals. Perhaps record the message if you feel you are able to now. And then we shall plan together. One step at a time.”
>>81077577>>81078086>It seems like this isn't the first time they've used Wish like this>This may be the first time Freedom has used her telekinesis like this, but she's very serious about making sure it works>Taner is used to being the go-between of his team and other humans so he's very quickly able to take that role when walking into the Pokemon Center>He doesn't miss a beat when Teleo passes him the luxury ball, quickly passing it to to the nurses and getting the name of the one he gave it to just in case >Taner nods at Teleo and relays that information too, noticing that Teleo doesn't want him to give out the band he doesn't, instead he'll hand it to Wha-et when they get a chance to sit down>Taner tries to advocate for Wha-et being able to stay with him, but it seems they are pretty persistent about it "If you can forgive -me-, then of course I can forgive you. We'll talk again once you are out and feeling better. It shouldn't be too long!">He puts on a smile, a little bit of optimism can go a long way sometimes>Though he doesn't show it when talking to the nurses, when Wha-et wraps his ribbons around Taner's arm he'll be able to feel like a sore heart ache/betrayed feeling that is practically radiating off the trainer, the only thing preventing it from getting worse is that it comes with a slight feeling of unreality, like there's still a part of him that's refusing to fully accept that all this is even happened, the very sudden turn from party to nightmare has left him reeling>When Wha-et directs his hand, it's not even conscious thought that drives Taner to comfort the Sylveon in the only way he can right now, it's just instinct>Star's own feelings leak through into Taner, a lot more controlled and less wild than the trainer's, literally giving him strength by her presence"Oh. I, um, have food in my backpack, it's not the meal I planned but it's something, at least. Energy bars and leftovers...">Freedom floats his backpack to him
>>81076309I hope so too. I can't say this year has gotten off to the best start ever on my end, but it is just the start, after all.>>81076724Oh, that's, uh. Not great sounding. What do you mean by that? Because the picture in my head now is you, sitting in a cave with your back to a luxury sofa that has that leaning down feature and eating nachos with one hand while holding a TV remote in the other and holding a book in the 3rd and then holding a glass of orange juice in the 4th and then holding a slice of pizza in the 5th and a doom scrolling on a phone with 6 and 7 and also 8. But, I'm sure that's, uh, probably not what you actually meant.>>81078779>>81079467>Whisper has not been exposed to that many memes and as such the bee movie reference flies over his small leafy head>As for Star's research"I... don't know... I know she emails them back and forth... I think they managed to make it work on other plants but... not living things yet...">And even when they get it to work on an animal, it'd probably be years from that to the first test on a person or Pokemon>Whisper looks like he also wants pet, but also like he might melt into the ground and become a potted plant if someone tried to pet him>As for the site..."Star knows more about that but I think... it was soon after he rescued us... he needed a place he could post anonymously to ask for advice on... um... how legal the farms were and... how much trouble we'd be in if caught... That's why none of us battled in the gyms until after evolving... to make sure they didn't recognize us...">Sounds like Taner's history with the law is complicated at best, and the rescue of these Eevees wasn't exactly done through legal means>Ironic, though, that he went there to be anonymous and now is anything but>(Normally, this is about where I'd be bringing the next Vee on over, but...)>>81080599(Woah, that's hot)(It also reminds me that someone needs to ask about something, I'll get to that soon :) )
>>81080599>pssst>its anon>by anon i mean dave>daveanon>do you want dave anon to be real or do you want to retcon him?>i was going to ask before but you've been in wall to wall rps for a while now and i kept thinking i'd wait>i don't want to mess up the whole teleo relationship because that's sweet af so if we want to say dave was a fever dream or something that's fine with me>or if wha-et has a plan for dave showing up that's also fine with me>that is all you may now go back to your regularly scheduled programming
>>81080175>>81081399>The clerk and her Chansey feel for the group, so they check in on Teleo's status when the fairy asks>From the sound of it, he just greatly overexerted his body and acutely aggravated his old wounds, but reassure that he only needs some rest while they continue to monitor. No permanent damage>They say they'll let Wha-et know if Teleo is cleared for visitors before visiting hours are over>In the meantime, what are two going to do?>>81080599(dang that's suuuper good, effort more than worth it!)>>81081021>>81080175>Two can play at that game>He turns around for a moment, takes a breath, then faces Wha-et with the saddest Sobble crying face he can muster, big glistening eyes and sniffles all. Even his fin seems to droop down"You- You wouldn't cheat like that for real, right?">Some real advice since this stuff is pretty dangerous"That may work in other cases, but those people are pretty cutthroat. They WILL get their money and interest back by any means">Teleo laughs"Oooh, Freddy Kreuger fairy. Better be careful of those microsleeps, or Wha-et might getcha! Not sure a dream catcher would do much considering dreams are the realms of fairies">No more shiny colorations soon. Sad, he likes them a lot"Its only boring because you don't appreciate true art, Doro!">Yeah, Puss probably fits the best"Should have packed a pair of boots, shoot">He nods at the suggestions"Sounds like a majority for a comedy! Will have to see what's playing and if they're any good. Honestly if nothing looks good we could always just watch something in our hotel room, there's plenty of space to host a few people for a movie night">Hotel booking points coming in clutch, thanks Pa>>81081066Good! He deserves all the hugs. I hate to hear that, at least he's found a trainer that actually cares for himYes it... it wasn't pleasant. I still haven't really fully moved on from it. Luckily modern medicine is rather miraculous, I was sure I'd never walk again
>>81081461Just the start, I hope.What happened on your end?>>81082094He absolutely does. I do think he does want to eventually battle again, he's rather feisty when in the same room as Eff, my Furret partner....speaking of, seems that Eff went missing again, probably to cause mischief.That is the trauma I hardly see anyone moving on, even if healing from.By comparison, I am lucky to never have been physically hurt.
>>81076045it isextremelyuseful>it's something that is slowly coming out/>beats being carried around everywhere/>not combat capable though, would need the Core Unit, or at least a Rotom Appliance motor, and that would make it too heavy>>81076724it is a mode of transportation
>>81076309>Phoxy's world has expanded after getting official papers.>But Eff is bothering her while her world is expanding.>Phoxy rolls her eyes.>Now, she takes a nice look at that card.>She will brag about it.>>81076304>Can't really make a villain that is black and white if Taner is involved.>Else he'll spend half of the story trying to appeal to his good side lol>But I kinda want to tone him down a tiny bit.>Started with the assassination attempt.>>81076304>>81081390>Phoxy tries to look up to stop the tears from leaving her eyes.>It's hard."T-Thanks...">She takes a few deep breaths."At this point just ban me from picnics, they always bring trouble...">You can hear her sob a bit.>She shakes her head."I ain't doing a damn message.">That's pretty... Contradictory with what she said before."I have a better idea.">She dries her eyes with her arm and looks at Taner."Truth is. Jim and I... Have been working on something for over a year.">Oh?"Wasn't made with Teleo in mind of course, but... He might enjoy it."
HeyDid you guys watch the Soup or Bowl?I was thereDid you see ME?I totally photobombed themHehehehehehe
>>81077994I suppose that could be a thing that happens. I don’t recall if Aron is one of those, disproportionately heavy Pokémon. That’s the thing. I barely even want to move anymore. It is so much effort. I think I should just apply to become a full time gargoyle statue.>>81078403I think he is the magnet. In this case. Attached to the fridge. By “thing” you are referring to Aron, yes? I do not think rocks would be enough to hold it down. Unless it were, a lot of rocks. Which would be difficult to balance.>>81081066I feel like I move a lot. I am still buzzing my wings like wild. But I just, don’t use the rest of my body very… hard.Maybe I will go on a hike with zero flying. >>81081461This absurd statement made me grin. Thank you for that. No, I am not exactly like that. I am more of, just, applying minimum physical effort into everything I do now. Out of pure laziness, it seems. I am dulled. Like an old butter knife. Which wouldn’t be a problem, but, I am not doing all that much otherwise. So the least I should do is, probably, keep myself sharp. I did, however, recently pursue applications for some cinematography related projects. I think they were looking for unpaid interns. But I have offered my, flying dragonfly skills instead. To gain, experience. Just in case I make a career out of this. >>81082845I see.Transportation, for… Joltik?It is small.
>>81083588I am reading gibberish.
>>81083627You see my fair Ranged Projectile WeaponI acquiesced myself to a large gathering of Unovan Football and appeared in the background of a camera upon live television performing lascivious actionsMuch hilarity was ensured, and I have no doubt contributed to the net suffering of the worldIf you feel dull, why not try something new and exciting?Why not become a gym Pokemon?
>>81083689Why am I a Ranged Projectile Weapon?I know what battling feels like. It is not something I want to do right now. Despite the fact that I do, on paper, want to sustain my battle prowess. It’s a conundrum. But, like I told Taner. I am attempting to be a cinematographer. That is my current quest.
>>81083948Your name is DartWould you prefer the title of Atlatl Ammunition?Cinematography eh?You know what, that's actually reminding me of somethingI need pictures for a reference grimoire that aren't five or more generations old. The magic's gone out of them and they don't move anymore. So I'll cut you a deal.Take really good detailed shots or videos of Pokemon and bring them to me. Each photo you bring me I'll give you something nice...What do you want in exchange?
>>81084048Oh. I am really dumb. I also have no idea what an Atlatl is. That is, uh. Serendipitous.What do you mean, they don’t move? Are my photos supposed to move? I don’t think I can do that. Unless you want me to make you a flip book. I like the sound of this regardless.Hm.I am not sure what I want yet. Could I save my payment up towards one big thing, like, a spell? I feel like one of these days you’re going to get tired of people asking you for spells. But I hope that is not today. Because I am thinking about spells now.I want you to know that the spell I am thinking of would be, really mundane. As in, a magical portable battery with a really significant lifespan. Or. Something.Believe it or not, we do not have access to much electricity while living in a hut, in a forest, in a grassy field.
>>81084192The atlatl is a means by which to rapidly throw darts at medium to short range at an extremely high velocity. It's a weapon that makes you throw harder and faster. Sort of like one of those dog ball throwersThe answers is both yes and no. They will not move until a spell is enchanted on them. That allows them to sort of, how do you say...So, a photo is light captured on film, yes? A moment in time? What if that moment were a bit more stretched out? What if it was a few moments? Maybe a dozen moments? That's what I'm doing. Makes it look nicer.Oh, that sounds fairly reasonable. Sort of accumulating to a big payoff huh? Ahuhuhu~A magical portable battery... I do so like the sound of this. It sounds to me that the strategy of plugging wires into potatoes and swiping phones isn't doing you good, is it?
>>81084326Oh. Strange. And specific.I see. I get what you are saying. But I imagine the hypothetical light you’re stretching is synthetic, yes? Because, my photo only captured 1 light. And not a bunch. What you’re doing sounds like AI-generated photo-to-video. Very topical.Yes. And yes. The pokebear battery is extremely impressive. But I would like power for other things. Like… a handheld electric drill.
>>81083588I did...n't! I don't want human sports, but now I'm morbidly curious, what did you do exactly?>>81083614Well they're heavier than Yanmega, but not quite Zoroark weight. They're very dense because, you know, metal.I had suggestions but Beryl beat me to it, I think you'd make a very good photographer, plenty of advantages in being a giant dragonfly!>>81083009>Well I can't speak for Taner, but as for Doro I could have his team not try to do that>Could be they trust Phoxy to be the one to change him, even though it won't happen>I can try to have Doro's team mention him less too, if he gets toned down that would be a good excuse for it too>>81081390>>81083009>Taner's response deflates Doro a little bit, but at the same time it's fair and expected.>It would be be best to avoid this happening again, hard to disagree with that. Going"...I think a ban's too far, but it'll take time to get back to where we were.">As for the message...>The Zoroark has a momentary look of shock when she shoots down that idea>But she's quick to clarify she has something else in mind>Internally, Doro breathes a sigh of relief... and can't deny some curiosity>Said curiosity grows as she explains Jim and her were working on some sort of project together"Huh. That's a while, I had no idea. Not that Jim would've told me anything.">Doro's curious, but Star's right about the break. They should take a small moment to calm down after that heated exchange.>But afterwards, Doro's very curious to hear about that project they've been working on, whatever it may be
>>81082649Sounds like a true battleheart! We both seem to have a lot in common. If you'd like, I could send you the information on the medical center in Galar that was able to help me back on my feet, they specialize in difficult cases like ours. Perhaps they might be able to find something or at least a way to treat the pain?Ha! Well, better start looking for them, lest you get pranked!Part of why I'm glad I don't really remember most of it>>81083588Arceus above that was YOU? I almost spat out my drink when I saw what you were doing towards the camera
>>81081399>>81077577“Gimme the bars...”>Wha-et pushes his ribbons to clean his face before eating, and grabs the bars to gobble them down>He does feel safe under Tanner’s hand, and eventually the fact he is in a center seems to fully calm him so much so that after eating he starts dozing off on Tanner.>The recent events have taken a toll on his untrained body and mind, and he just lies on top when dreaming finally takes over him. Ribbon still wrapped around his arm he doesn’t seem to want to let go of him. Sleeping for about an hour or two before waking up, Tanner might end up with a numb leg.>When he wakes up, he is somehow in a better state than before, although still a sad unnatural demeanor around him.>He stands and stretches all 8 body parts, instinctively rubs his eyes with a ribbon and notices the dirty state they are in.>Finally releases Tanner from his grasp and says“I’m going to clean myself, you can go, I’ll wait here...”>And heads to the bathroom. >Once cleaned, he goes and asks the Chansey about Teleo.>No permanent damage does lift a load off his back, after asking what the visitors’ hours are he’ll linger around the center. Doesn’t really know what to do after that.>He doesn’t want to be alone in their hotel room, nor wants to traverse an unknown city on his own.
>>81081461>>81079467>Nasty bugs“They all LOOK the same tho, flying insects¡ I am NOT going to check which bug is the good one,”>Hummies playing with UNKNOWN magical things“Playing with SCIENCE might be DANGEROUS! What if prodding it angers whoever blessed the sap¿”>Wha-et tilts his head“Ho I see that MAKES sense, being HIDDEN and covert, although I am SUPER sure the RANGERs monitor that site. Maybe they have been tracking Tanner from the shadows...”>>81081513>OMG HAIII DAVEANON ≧▽≦>Of course I want Dave to be real. Wha-et lacks ANY plans. He didn’t expect Teleo to go as far as it did, the fairy is always CAUGHT in the moment.>While he 100% knows Dave would be fine with him having stuff with other mons, he doesn’t really know if Teleo would be fine with it. Not that he would ask, he is a coward after all. Literally lying by omission.>There is a drop in activity in their chats the week after Teleo went to visit Wha-et, if Dave knows said meeting happened depends if he kept reading the forum after meeting Wha-et.>After said week, it went back with less activity only to be cut-off again when they went to Kalos. Wha-et straight up has his tablet muted when he is with Teleo.>Kind of expected someone would scoop Wha-et up after long enough.
>>81082094>>81081021>Teleo’s performance completely moved Wha-et, he quickly drops the act and Hugs him with his ribbons, head rubbing against Teleo’s side“Maybe not to YOU... I would use it on others, WE could Unite forces”“Those are LIES, every mon is greedy it is in OUR nature¡ I just know how to channel it better, if I win back 20 cents, that means after a BAZILLION visits I will walk out with millions¡”>The give Teleo a re-assuring ribbon and squeezes his hand“That’s why it’s better if DORO is the one taking the load, not me¡”“Dreams catchers only get nightmares, a DREAM with me would be a very pleasant one, even if I’m stealing your ability¡”>Wha-et closes half closes his eyes “I guess I don’t feel any FAIRY magic in you Doro, I guess you are CLEAN... for now. The colors are FUN but I like pink more, it is the cutest after all.”“Exactly¡ Shreck transcends generations¡ I bet your TEAM would love to watch it on repeat.”>Wha-et giggles at Teleo accepting his new role“Great, we all have our Shrecksona.”>That’s wouldn’t be the right term.“We could¡ the room is super nice, Doro¡ with a BIG bed and a BIG TV. You should also get one like it¡”>>81083614That’d work, if Calder can lift it, else we are BACK to square one.New idea, dig a hole and let it there for an hour or so.
>>81082094>>81089957>The display between the two of them is... very cute"I mean... yeah, but that's a lot of visits. I guess if you have enough determination it's possible.">Doro nods to Teleo..."Yeah, not smart to mess with those guys.">...And then shakes her head at Wha-et, though her eyes widen when she fully registers his words"Taking the load...? Uh, no way! I'm not risking my neck to scam some money out of loan sharks!""Hmm... but if you're entering my mind, who says it can't go the other way? It'll be veeeery risky!">The fox looks as innocent as she can"None at all! I'll keep up the shiny colors for the rest of the picnic, you'll be back to normal once it's over.">At least until things get serious later"Once or twice is fine, but over and over is waaay too much!">Someone help her from these two maniacs!"...Shrecksona? I, uh... don't think that's what it'd be called.">It seems they've come to a suggestion, Doro nods with a grin"Okay, sounds like a plan! And sure, a hotel room seems like a nice backup plan!">Wha-et's suggestion gets a shrug from the Zoroark"Hmm, maybe! I don't usually get hotel rooms since the cost adds up traveling so much."
:(
>>81092125⊂´• ω •`⊂
>>81082094>>No permanent damage>While it doesn't change the other feelings, a wave of relief washes over Taner and one of the tensions in his chest unravels itself, leaving him feeling that much lighter>It all still sucks, but the worst fears are alleviated>>81088982>Taner digs in the backpack and takes out the bars>They aren't the best, they aren't the worst, they are intended to just be snacks really >Depending on how long they stay, Taner may (via Star so it can be kept psychic and not wake the sleeping Sylveon) have Lightspeed take Inferno back to the room he rented with his backpack to get the dinner and pack some of it in the cooler that goes in his backpack and come back... So at least they'll have that, when Wha-et wakes up, as long as they are careful not to make a mess while eating they should be able to avoid being told off... Though the Pokemon Center might have a lounge with tables anyway? >Aside from that, though, he just thinks for those two hours, and sometimes talks with Star mind-to-mind>He's stressed, of course, and that stress ebbs and spikes with his thoughts, but it does make it so he doesn't concentrate much on his leg going numb... He deserves a lot worse than that, he feels>Then, Wha-et wakes up>He immediately tells the Sylveon what the nurse said, but he's doesn't blame him for wanting to verify>He does have one more question though "I um. I was thinking I'd come back and wait here, until he wakes up but, uh, maybe that's, not what you'd want. If you don't want to see me here, or, anywhere, ever again, that's... I'll understand. I do have dinner though, in a cooler, if you want that first…”>>81082649Normally I'd say but this... probably best talked about in person, if at all. It involves a lot more than just me, even if I feel I should have been able to prevent it, if I was just a little smarter, a little less complacent. Star tells me that's not the case, and I know she's probably right, but I can't help feeling that way.
>>81083009>>81087820"Not all picnics, just... anywhere people don't know you already, and are okay with you being there. There will still be plenty that you are invited to.">On the one hand, he really wants to say anything to make Phoxy less sad, but on the other... this day was hell-- it's probably night at this point, as he likely spent most of the day at the Pokemon Center-- and if he could go back in time and make it so he told Phoxy to sit this one out, he would have... and the thing is, Phoxy would have no doubt had a better day today if she wasn't here, too>Basically, picnics with Phoxy now come with a warning label and signing a paper saying they are aware they'll be in real danger if they decide to show up... That way, at least, Taner doesn't feel like he's misled his guests into thinking they are in a space where they'll be safe when that's not something he can reasonably tell them he believes any longer when Phoxy is around>He clearly still feels like the whole thing is partly his fault for not doing that in the first place, Star may have to have a talk with him about that later>But for now, Star says<I look forward to hearing about your idea. But in ten minutes. It is late. I suspect we are all quite hungry.>>Also, Taner may be returning to the Pokemon Center soon after this, to be there when Teleo wakes up, depending on if Wha-et told him it was okay for him to be there/if he never wants to see Taner's face again>I haven't commented on the Nidoking thing because... I don't know what I can add there, it's a real dilemma!>I'd basically have to make a new character to have anyone interact with him for more than a conversation or two without becoming so frustrated they just want to kick him, I'm willing to swim a bit in going out-of-character for plots but... it'd be radically ooc for most>Slightly less so now that he saved them once but he still just makes himself incredibly unpleasant to talk to, which makes sense but makes interaction hard
>>81083614I'm glad it did!Ah. I understand that. That's actually about where I was before going to trainer school, it's one of the reasons I, uh, wasn't very fit at all when I first started as a trainer. And sadly, I'd say it's very hard to change without a change in occupation, or location or something like that.So applying for jobs like that sounds like exactly what I'd suggest anyway, and it looks like you've already been selected for at least one, thanks to Beryl-- and it's not even unpaid. Actually, a spell like you talked about is probably more valuable than money would have been anyway, even if the other jobs were offering that. I can see you being really, really good at this!Freedom and Cottonball have been taking air views of the places we've gone to too and some people have been interested in them, but that's a more relaxed thing, getting pictures of specific things or Pokemon will definitely take effort!>>81083588HuhAnyway... Remember that thing we were talking about a long time ago about, uh, using magic to lift the Shelder off a very evil Slowking from a safe distance to unevolve it? If you don't that's fine but, um, either way, I'm at the point of asking what the price would be for that. Doro and Zapman will probably be willing to chip in, depending on what it is.>>81082845It sounds like it! And I'm guessing it's just the start. Imagine where you'll be in a year from now, if you keep upgrading at this rate!>It is, but Taner doesn't want to be the one who gives it all away until Sam specifically says that's okay!/>I'm sure, you have your own, um, Star is saying the word I'm looking for is "agency," now! A lot more freedom!/>Do you plan for it to become combat capable at some point? Guessing you do, but, uh, if it's going to be your main form, you probably also want to make it so you can, like, just go to normal places like a store while in it, right?
>>81089526>last we checked in on dave he had managed to find a new job that allows him to travel and told them he wanted to be headquartered in paldea>how long it took him to do that is something with a lot of wiggle room as well as how long the onboarding was etc but he probably should be showing up in paldea and looking for Wha-et pretty soon>as far as he's concerned a polo relationship is fine, he'd love to be double-teamed by two pokes after all>we'll wait a bit more just in case it causes drama, there's been enough of that this week, tho dave will give Wha-et plenty of warning that he's coming and even ask where to meet so it won't come at a surprise at least
>>81087820Hm. I didn’t realize Zoroark were so heavy. Either way. Refrigerators are much heavier. I don’t feel like that’d be enough to topple the fridge over.Yes. I was mostly planning on taking establishing shots for movies. But photography is within that line of work too.>>81089957It’s only as heavy as a person. I am sure Calder can manage. Aron are indeed weak to Ground, though. Making it sit in dirt may be the optimal punishment. >>81093179Mhm. To a certain extent I am still probably considered fit, given that I still live out in the wild. Just, comfortably. But yes. Beryl is useful as always. I’m not sure how this will go, he didn’t necessarily specify what Pokemon he was interested in capturing photos of. But I presume the more difficult they are to photograph, the higher his satisfaction will be.Non-specific aerial shots are probably a lot easier to access nowadays, so I think I’ll need to find a better niche. Better refined wilderness photos. Etc.I could get some good shots of Pokemon that live in high places. But I’m a little worried I’ll get swarmed by bird Pokemon. The big ones tend to want to eat me.
>>81092956>He does wake up looking like trash and doesn’t respond to Tanner until verifying with the Nurse.>It makes sense they’d have a lounge and a cafeteria if they have patient rooms.>The news of no permanent damage does put him more in a brighter state, in his mind all this is just a matter of waiting and waiting. Waiting until he gets better and everything will go back to normal.>That is unless he can’t walk again, then he might get angrier at the whole thing.>But right now Wha-et has HOPE on his side, and nothing can really take that away from him.>He goes walking back with Tanner, his demeanor still sad but more hopeful than before. “You HEARD the NURSE Tanner, is just a matter of WAITING. Of course, I still want to see you. I’ll ask Teleo once he is better, but I’m sure he’ll also want to see you.”>After all, once Teleo is healed all this will be in the past to him, since unlike Tanner he won’t have to deal with Phoxy.“Sure gimme FOOD I’m starving, make sure to tell huuu Doro and his team that it is just a matter of time before Teleo is back to normal”>He said that last line to Tanner but also to himself, spreading hope in a way might make the recovery of real-er.>With the food, he goes to the tables to chomp it down, since the nurses have seen him and Tanner they assume the Sylveon isn’t some wild mon. That and the tablet he is looking at, watching stuff and chatting while waiting.>>81093197>It would be an issue if Dave wants to meet while Wha-et is with Teleo or Teleo is in Paldea with Wha-et or something like that.>But with the warning. Wha-et will try his best for them to not meet each-other.>It might be awkward if Dave wants to do the things they’ve done before, but Wha-et doesn’t really think that far beyond. It all has been a blur, suddenly Paldea then Kalos, he is lovestruck and not caring about anything else atm.>Of course he would be fine with something like that LMAO, with all the fantasies they’ve shared.
>>81088982>>81092956>>81094614>The center does have a smaller cafeteria area by the lobby that they can eat at, so they aren't pestered about bringing food inside>The nurses figure that Wha-et is Taner's pokemon, so they don't question anything about that>It takes a few hours, probably late afternoon at this point, before the clerk Chansey waddles over and tells Wha-et that they haven't seen his condition worsen, so they're fine with him having visitors>She'll lead them both to the room, unless Wha-et says he wants to ask Teleo first before Taner can join>Its a small, fairly standard hospital room, with a bed, monitors, side table, and 2 chairs against the wall. The window lets the waning sunlight in>Teleo's laying in the bed of course, hooked up to the machines. He looks fine, just very tired and morose. He gives Wha-et a gentle smile as he see's the fairy walk in"Hello">He thanks the Chansey as she goes to close the door and scooches over a little bit, enough space for a Sylveon>When Wha-et jumps up he gently pulls the fairy close, leaning his head against Wha-ets for a few moments. Images of how distraught the Sylveon was flash in his mind "Sorry I made you worry like that. Today was supposed to be fun and I fucked it all up. Some boyfriend I am...">He squeezes the fairy as much as he can, like if he lets go Wha-et will disappear"I'm glad you're here. I'm not sure what I'd do without you. I feel like I don't deserve you at all..."
>>81083588I have not, actually.>>81088383That would be actually very helpful, thank you! We have been searching first for if it is a bone issue, but, if it is a neurological issue then, the specialists you know would be more suited.Yes, Eff will get on your proverbial hair. Literally, sometimes.That said, I hope I have not been too bothersome.>>81092956If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. I know I have been offline more lately, but I will try.>>81083009>Eff has been completely dismissed>That stuns him, if just for a second"Hey, now, what gives?"
>>81089526>>81081461>Some bugs are nice!"They do look fairly similar, but wasps and hornets look angrier. I don't know, one of the people in our town growing up had a small honeybee hive to collect honey from, and the few times we got to see it up close the bees never bothered us!">What is she planning with that sap, he wonders..."Well if PB is continuing to supply Star with the sap, I imagine that won't happen Wha-et">He's getting a better idea of what went down"I can see why he accessed the forum then. But... yes I have to agree with Wha-et that I'm also fairly certain its monitored by someone. Though, with how blatantly Beryl admits to doing the things he does on there and Taner having to call the Rangers for them to act, I don't think they are the ones doing it>>81089957>>81090773>Never fails. He always did that trick against Evan"I think if we combined both techniques we would be unstoppable""That would take a long, long time then. Getting flashbacks to that fairy wish Doro made and refused to participate in. What was it, having to ask a billion hummies for a dolla?">He gives a grave nod to Doro. Really best not to interact with them>Then laughs at Wha-et"the ultimate test of your illusions. Maybe after that trial you'll have complete utter mastery of them""Oh true, Doro would be the master of her mindscape, best tread lightly">Teleo blushes when Wha-et says pink is cute, looking over at his pink cape-frills"I think a 'Shreksona' would be if we made up our own character in that universe?">Hummies like sonas online for whatever reason, maybe that's an actual thing"Sounds like a plan then! I'll look online and see if anything catches my eye, then we'll plan for a day you and Taner aren't busy. Lots on the agenda now! Sorry if we're monopolizing precious prep time for the fairy gym battle"
>>81083588yeahit was very purplewait one sec, Mho tells me he had messed up with the color channelscarry on>>81083614transportation for those than need convenient transportationweeeee
>>81095348>>81092956>Wha-et says he’ll ask Teleo first, half truth half he wants to have some time alone with him>He enters the room and quickly dashes to Teleo wanting to see him fine once again“Teleo.”>He is a little taken aback when he moves“Don’t move...”>But quickly understand that he wants him on the bed>The ribbons scoop up Teleo wrapping around him with the Sylveon’s frame on his side. Wha-et makes sure to evade any tube hooked to the machine and lets Teleo squeeze to his heart's content.>Teleos embrace relaxes him, getting to hear, touch, smell, and see him all at once revitalizes his tail that wags thumping against the bed“Aww don’t worry, everything is okay now, we are safe that’s what matters. I’m sure well have plenty more days together...””>He doesn’t complain about the squeeze, he enjoys it purring between Teleo’s arms. Teleo having such strength to hug him must be a good sign.“Of course I’d be here Dummi, you are here, and I want to be wherever you are. Don’t say that, you’ve done plenty to earn me, and I am happy you’ve taken me...” >Wha-et smooches Teleo cheek and now he has tasted him his lover is truly back>They embrace each-other for a couple of minutes. Wha-et separates.“I’ll tell the rest to come, okay?”>And he leaves the room, coming back with the people waiting in the lobby
>>81095656>>81090773>Teleo’s secret technique saved him in the last second“But if we are unstoppable, then people won’t want to play with us¿”>He is very naïve about it he has never been at a poker table.“Doro has a billion POKEDOLLARS, but it is spread between hummies, he just has to ask for the dolla¡. My amazing fairy magic HAS no limits¡”>Such a prideful fairy>Wha-et laughs at Doro“I said LOAN, Doro, not that¡. Your dirty CONCIUSNESS betrays you¡”“Me, I am the one who says it¡, cuz I always CLOSE the door when entering, it’s bad manners not to, other THINGS could get inside.”>Wha-et leans against Teleo passing a frill between his ribbons“Yay, I just need a new name for my TEMPORAL identity¡”“You say that now, Doro, but your mushroom mon there might love it, you can’t say NO to those.... weird eyes”>Shiinotic looks fucked up, bruh“That sounds DUMB, Why pretend to be a character that is NOT important in the story?”>yo dawg i heard you like RP so we put RP inside your RP“HOooo you are going after the FAIRY gym next¿ I’ll put in a good word for you so SHE goes easy and you get to win¡”>>81094111I am not sure my man Calder there sounds like a basedboy, he might not have any manly muscle on him.Imagine being weak to earth, Can’t be me¡
>>81095656>>81097136"That's the trick, you two have to hide your powers until it's too late to back out!">Should be easy, considering how mischevious these two are"Yes, that was it. I'd die of old age before I even got close to getting it all.">The fox shakes her head again"No way! There's less risky ways to put my illusions to the test!">And to Wha-et"Suuuure... why do I need to fake my identity then?">Doro snickers"But what if I dream up another door and use that one? You won't be safe!">As for his secret identity..."Isn't it Who-et?""Willow? Maybe, but I don't think it'd be good to have him just watch the same thing on repeat even if he doesn't complain.">Willow's trying!"You'd be surprised. But apparently I'm Shrek so I don't have that problem.">They're make costumes and live out fantasy lives in the Shreck world..."It's alright Teleo, I don't train 24/7 after all, wouldn't be good to get burnt out right?">And to Wha-et"You can try, but I prefer to win all on my own! Feels better that way, you know?"
>>81096737>>81092956>Seeing Wha-et cheer up also cheers up Teleo, his hands pet up and down his fur as they embrace>He returns the smooch and leans his head back onto his pillow"Regardless, I'm glad to hear that. I don't know, I'm just... scared that its just an eventuality that I'll do something to break something between us. Feels like that's my curse">He chews his lip for a moment"I thought Sunder ruined my ability to love anyone, but you make me so damn happy. And I'm terrified its going to slip away because of my stupid actions">He lets out a tired sigh"Sorry, I'm being self centered and melodramatic like usual. Feel free to let the others in, I'm sure they've been as anxious as you have">>81097136>>81097880"Exactly what Doro said. Secret weapon, we'll only use it if a good enough opportunity presents itself!">Oh the things they could probably get away with"Have you even tried to get the money? Because the longer you wait the more you'll have to cram in a shorter amount of time!">Given up before the race even started! For shame!"That's why its the ultimate test! Those are always wrought with danger!">He laughs at Wha-et"My my, such a devious mind indeed~""I feel as though a battle in the dream realm is just a practice of someone smirking and saying 'I knew you were going to do that' and nullifying what the other tries to do">Sukuna ignored it and moved on.jpg"Hmm, maybe Blu-et?""It'd be healthier for Willow to watch on repeat than something like Cocomelon">The future generations are doomed"I don't know, its not something I really looked into, the internet is a strange place">He gives a thumbs up to Doro. Good to take breaks. Then bumps Wha-et"Hey now, don't go and sabotage Doro's challenge! People can tell if a fight is rigged, and the hype will die down and we won't sell as much merch!"
>>81094614>Taner doesn't look like trash even if he feels like it, but he doesn't look great>If Wha-et was starting to look that bad, he may grabbed a brush out of his backpack and started brushing just by force of habit>Taner is hopeful that if the nurses said he'd be back to normal, they meant being able to walk too... He also wants to hold on to that hope"Okay... Thank you. And I'll tell them. I'd ask Doro if he wants to come back with me too, but I think we'd end up crowding the room at that rate...">He gets out a cooler, it looks like it might be hard to just carry that around, that's another reason to go to a table>Bouillabaisse doesn't fit in a thermos that well, it really needs a table to eat at>Taner may actually add some last minute spices and such to it as he sets it out, since he wasn't able to do that back at the rented kitchen>>81095348>>81094614>>81095348>>81098550>Taner will perfectly understand that Wha-et wants to see him alone first, if it was Star, he'd feel the same way>He's thought a lot about how he'd feel if this was Star... which isn't healthy for him, it's only made him feel worse>And so, after Wha-et told them it's okay (and feel free to keep that scene going for longer before getting to this)>He walks in far more timidly than he was at the start of the day, not from shyness like Whisper, but for the obvious reasons>Star, on his shoulder, is also less active, though less guilty looking, and not sad-- Teleo is going to be okay, why would he want to see a bunch of sad faces?>Taner raises one hand, to both Teleo and Wha-et on the bed"Hi... I'm... really sorry about everything.">He seems at a loss as to what else to say, because what else IS there to say?>There's one thing at least"The nurses told me that you were going to make a complete recovery. How, um. How do you feel? Also, they didn't say you couldn't eat so, um, I have some bouillabaisse if you feel hungry."
>>81095504I do know, just as I'd help you with anything, and I'm very thankful for that!Sadly, the only people who can help with this are Celebi and Dialga, and I think they are a bit too busy for an issue like this. ...Maybe a therapist actually, but uh, I don't think I'd have much luck convincing the one person I'd need to convince to try that.>>81081461>>81089526"Taner... also runs from anything that sounds like a bee... Even though Star tells him it won't sting...">Whisper tilts his head at that"Then Taner will talk to them and find out why they got mad... and tell them to not be mean. But I can... pray that doesn't happen, too... if you think that will help?">Looks like Whisper took that statement from Wha-et in a different way than Teleo did, like there's some deity blessing the sap for PB and PB is just giving it to Star>Then"You think so?">He nods at Teleo's addition"Taner has needed to call the rangers before... or go help himself... if they are watching I think they need to hire someone better to watch...">Oceana adds"Taner cares about a lot of things the rangers don't.">>81094111Yeah. I can't imagine a fat Yanmega. Well, I can, I just did, but I don't think it's a realistic thing to imagine.He didn't, he said he wanted to update a grimoire which, um, is a little concerning to me, but at least the pictures it seems like he's just going to use as if updating a Pokedex. So I'm guessing that he's probably looking for one good picture of every Pokemon? I wonder if you could get a mirror and turn in one of yourself? After all, getting a picture of a Yanmega is pretty hard normally!Yes, there are a lot of other shots like that out there, any trainer with a flying Pokemon can get them. And in Galar they have the flying taxis, too. But we can get some good moments sometimes!Yes, don't get eaten while taking pictures! You still have your own Friendball, right? Maybe bring that with you for an emergency escape if you need one!
>>81087820>>81093104>Phoxy has calmed down a little bit.>There needs to be a sign that says "BEWARE OF PHOX, HANDLE AT YOUR OWN RISK">And some bulletproof vests.>A water hose could also be useful."Yeah... I ain't really hungry now.">Which is understandable."Well of course Jim wouldn't talk about it, duh. It was meant to be a surprise.">Jim will pop out of the ground after everyone got a bit of time to recover.>>81095504>Oho, a new weakness found.>Eff doesn't like being ignored.>Now that's something to exploit."Too bad for you dust cleaner, I am just here to collect this and get out of this hellish place."
>>81098550>Feeling Teleo so close fills him with warm embracing each-other. “Awww, Teleonot having you next to me felt like an eternity, you have my heart in your hands. I know you’ll treat it nicely and nothing else matters to me. If something breaks, we can glue it back together, don’t you worry.”>Wha-et swirls a paw on Teleo’s chest but stops when Teleo mentions Sunder, his ears perk up“S-sunder¿”>But Teleo asks him to let the other know“Sure I’ll be right back.”>>81099037>Wha-et lets himself be brushed back into a decent shape, anything to pass the time faster while they wait.“Sure whatever you think is best”>Wha-et’s mouth water at the sight of a decent dinner, and he eats it, filling the hole within him and further waking up his body.>When Tanner is back, he is idling on his tablet, he looks up at Tanner beaten from whatever went down back in the cabin.>He just offers his ribbon without talking, as a way to get mutual support for whatever the other is feeling.>>81095348>>81099037“He looks better, follow me.”>And so Wha-et enters with Tanner behind, and takes his place next to Teleo.>He drags the table towards Teleo bed, thinking he might also be hungry right now.
>>81099507>Hearing those words means a lot to Teleo, and he feels a tenseness finally leave>Ah. This was going to come up eventually"He was the uh, Luxray on our team. I've mentioned him online a few times. He was the first and only other person I had a "relationship" with, and I use that term lightly. It was... pretty horrible. We were pretty close as mid-stage evolutions. I looked up to him and thought we had something deeper, but he didn't see it like that, purely physical with him. I was young and stupid and didn't realize>His hands tremble slightly against Wha-et"After he evolved he got real nasty. Wouldn't take no for an answer and would twist anything to pass the blame of his actions onto me, and I couldn't really stop him with the type disadvantage and all. I didn't tell anyone what was going on because I was scared of disrupting the team, which was so stupid of me. And the one time I did speak up led to such a massive fight and then...">His gaze becomes distant"I hate bullies. And yet sometimes I feel like I learned to act like one from him">He gives a nod as he leaves to grab Taner>>81099507>>81099037>Looking over, he waves to Taner and Star as they enter, offering them a tired smile>He thanks Wha-et for bringing the table over and gingerly sits up a little more to eat. By now he's famished"Its not your fault, please stop blaming yourself, I should have just left the conversation or told someone what was going on instead of blowing up on those two">Would be feeling terrible without the super powered Wish"Just sleepy. And hungry, thanks for bringing some of the food">Even cold its still good. He chuckles after the first bite and tries to lighten the mood"My complements to the chef! This is great, thank you">He eats a little more, and offers a few bites to Wha-et if he's still hungry"...How are things back at the rental, if folk were still there?"
>>81095504No worries at all, I hope they'd be able to help! Let me send you their site>He sends a link to a website for a neurosurgery research clinic based in Wyndon. It looks like they specialize in difficult cases that regular centers can't handleHa! Sounds like a little rascal then. So long as he doesn't get into too much trouble!Oh not at all, don't worry about that. If Palmer ever wants someone to talk to, you can let him know I'd be there to listen and relate what he's going through. Anything to help him out even a little
>>81099507>It really is quite a decent dinner, too>Somehow, putting it in the backpack makes it so it still tastes fresh and it's even a bit hot when it first comes out>>81100338>>81099507>Taner gets the meal out of a cooler that was in his trainer backpack-- the cooler looks like it shouldn't even fit in there>And it's actually still mostly warm, if trainer backpacks can keep the ice cream that one buys in Black/White cold for hours on in, it can probably keep food warm too>Taner opens his mouth, probably to say something like how no, it's his fault for not vetting the guest list better but Star interrupts him"What is done is done. We can not change the past and there is no use lamenting it further. Bad memories are useful to learn from, not to dwell upon, and I think we have all learned enough from this one so let us dwell no longer.">As for how things are back at the rental..."I... confronted Phoxy, along with Doro. It went, um. About as well as can be expected. I told her that I can't invite her to any more events until I feel I can trust her again, and that that, won't come easy after today. She didn't take it well but, eventually, said she was sorry and agreed that would be best for now. She's also working on an apology gift, so, uh, there's that. I didn't stay long after that, I wanted to get back here to be here when you woke up.">Taner looks a bit timid again after he says that, he assumed that was what Teleo was asking about but on second thought perhaps Teleo would rather have not heard Phoxy's name mentioned again"The others are, um, well half of them came back here with me and are in their Friendballs, the others are, feeling about like we all are, probably. Lightspeed is unhappy he didn't get to say hi so, I expect him to try and get ahead of everyone for that if he gets a chance to.">A Friendball shakes, maybe Lightspeed didn't want Taner tattling on him like that!
>>81099237>>81087820(Redo because I decided the order)>That's good>Star thinks this may be better anyway-- she's pretty sure Phoxy was not enjoying a lot of the things Taner was inviting her to anyway... maybe someday, things will change, but pushing Phoxy out of her comfort zone may not be the way to do that>In any case, no use lamenting it now, things are as they are>By the end of the ten minutes, so has Taner, though he is still a little somber as he reheats and serves the food to those who remain and do still want to eat-- Phoxy may not be hungry, but his team need to eat for the battles ahead even if they don't feel like it right now>As soon as the food is up, Taner packs four meals worth in a cooler, places it in his backpack, and speeds back to the Pokemon Center via Dredd, not wanting to miss the moment Teleo wakes up-- overall, he wasn't gone very long, but he did want to make sure to do this first>Sadly, that means he may miss Phoxy tell Doro what the gift is, if she's going to, but some others stay behind for that>After he gets back, Taner and Doro may want talk about getting started in Kalos, as it's about time to do the other half of the gyms... though the time they rented the room for may be about up, and cleaning up is important if Taner doesn't want to pay an extra fee, especially since there's blood on one part of the floor and... yeah, he'll have to pay for the wine glass no matter what, no putting that back together>But, as Star has told him (probably more than once now): what's done is done, all that can be done is to move on, and so move on they shall

And here I am trying to greet you!">For a funny definition of greeting
>>81101716>>81099507>Thank Arceus for Star, or Teleo and Taner would be stuck in an endless loop. He nods through a bite, agreeing with the Eevee"True. I struggle with that quite frequently">Teleo can only imagine a lot of yelling and deflecting, but is honestly surprised that she ended up apologizing"I won't pretend to know if that's for the best, you know her more than I do, but if that's what you decided then I suppose that's the best case scenario at this juncture. A gift?... I don't... Why?">He's expecting a pipe bomb>He feels pretty bad that everyone else is feeling somber, but seeing Lightspeed's ball shake when mentioned makes him quietly chuckle"Well if we can start improving everyone's morale, I don't mind Lightspeed popping out to say hi, I'm feeling well enough for some chatter">>81101926(doggie! what da doggie up to?)>>81102142If you need any assistance getting in, I can ask Pa to send in word of your case, he's familiar with the doctors that work there after our extensive dealings with themOooh that much of a little sneak, huh?

I even invited her to my family's Thanksgiving day celebrations. Now I wonder that if, like, my dad had gotten into an argument with her...">He shudders a bit, he'd like to say there's no way she'd ever hurt one of his parents like that, but after today, can he really, truly be certain of that? How much danger did he unknowingly put his parents in? Put everyone in for all the events up until know? He tries to move on from that thought quickly"We'll, uh, vet the gift before she gives it. But she did seem actually sorry, for whatever that's worth. She though the gift would be better than a, uh, recorded apology, which is what we suggested.">Though it was somewhat hard to tell if it was sorry for her actions or sorry for what her actions caused, but one has to start somewhere>The ball pops open, making Taner almost jump back as Lightspeed appears in the small-ish room"Hey there, Tel-dude! I was -planning- to be the -first- to say -hello- to you but everyone told me that I -always- do that! But I don't want to be the -last- so -hi-! And hey again to -you- too, Who-mon!">He looks around the room, hops up into a chair, sits down in it, decides that's not very comfortable and hops out of it, then decides he can't see Teleo from the floor and hops back into it grin>That all happens within seconds>He seems to be aware of what the atmosphere was just a few moments ago, but not care to mimic it, and he gives Teleo and Wha-et a big grin before going to the second guest chair to see if it's more comfortable>It isn't, it's the same exact chair, he goes back to the first one, it's closer to the bed anyway!Goodnight everyone!

I keep my Friendball in a drawer, in “my” room, at Sharon’s mansion. I could grab it at some point. I don’t usually worry about anything getting the jump on me, but, it can be difficult to evade something like a Braviary or Skarmory when there’s nothing but sky all around you.

She'll eat while there's still an opportunity>It's too bad about the wine glass, Doro will offer to pay for that at least, even if it's not her fault it'd make her feel a bit better>But then the Zoroark comes right back to learn about what Jim and Phoxy were workign on while Taner's finishing up packing, curiosity is a powerful thing, unless Phoxy would rather wait to tell everyone
>>81097880>>81098550“Hoo we could even create a secret CODE to communicate silently, that way we can coordinate¡ Like BLINKING with our eyes¡”>Wha-et starts randomly closing his left and right eyes independently, it looks like he is having a brain collapse.“Yeah Doro, and hummies are sure to give you MORE than they have, it’d net you a ton more cash, You just sound like a LAZY fairy princess, and no one likes those.”>Simple, straightforward get rich quick“So you can go back and take in more¡ more loans”“Well Doro, as you know door to my dreams is a Doggy door, and I doubt you’d fit in it¡”>He is very smug now“Don’t challenge a MASTER in his own field¡”>Wha-et think for a second“Ho yeah, but I already used that name with NORMAL colors, I feel Blu-et is a good one I shall use that when I’m blue... da-ba-dee, da-ba-di”“Yeah Doro I learend that way and look how I TURNED out, hummie LANGUAGE is the easiest,”>Wha-et is trully an example to all mons“Sounds Boring tbhbh,”>Wha-et bumps Teleo back“Well, Doro, if you LOSE once I can help you next time¡”>>81099120>>81095656“Hooo they are like renting houses for the honeybee¿ makes sense the wouldn’t bother you, it’d increase their rent¡.”>Simple and straightforward“Tanner knows what’s up, better not risk getting STINGED randomly.”>Wha-et considers it fro a second“I guess it depends on HOW PB gets that sap, if it’s found it might be a blessing. If it comes from PB then PB can make more.“It’s all part of their plan Whisper, they are WATCHING us, and making sure their SECRET agenda isn’t disturbed. Maybe BERYL is also a Ranger in disguise, I’m sure he glows at night...”>Wha-et has seen too many conspiracy videos
>>81098550>>81106690"I think they watch for that sort of thing, it'd have to be something humans can't detect.">Wha-et what are you doing"Wha-et, I officially give all the money you gave to the hummies to you, now you can get rich in my stead! ...Just might take a while.">Doro declares with a sly grin>And then..."They'd probably figure out what you're doing, though.""I can make it extra big! I'll learn fast, you'll see!">Then, to Teleo"That's what I figured, guess I'm learning fast, heh.>Another snicker from the fox"Blu-et it is. But what will you do if they can on to your secret naming scheme of adding -et to the end of your names?""I, uh, I guess... but still, probably better to spread it out to more movies at least.">Willow ending up like Wha-et, what a mental image>Their last back and forth about whether or not to interfer is amusing"Oh, you'll help? I guess that'd be an opportunity to technically earn that badge, what moves do you know?">The Zoroark doesn't plan to actually let Wha-et fight unless he really wants to, she's just messing with him
>>81100338>Wha-et keeps close listening Teleo’s explication his paw on his chest making sure he feels as safe as possible.>When Teleo’s hand Trembles he nuzzles under his chin, trying to give Teleo strength to finish. There is a twitch on his face as Teleo is about to tell what happened in the end, but Wha-et decides is better not to ask him right now.“That sounds horrible, don’t blame yourself, you were given as a starter, it’d be NORMAL to get close with whatever pokemon is ALSO in your team... I cannot imagine being scared of having a type disadvantage with someone you consider so close. I’m sure you will never do anything like that to me, I can feel it in my heart.”>He stands on the bed and looks directly at Teleo“Don’t worry Teleo he is not with you anymore, he can’t hurt you. There is no team, group or anything like that here... Only me and you~”>>81101716>>81101716>>81102219>>81102500>Wha-et is happy Teleo is being receptive and opening up>Wha-et shakes his head when Teleo offers him food“No, I already had a plate in the cafeteria, it is very good”>He does lift his head at the mention of a gift, but lets it slide when Tanner says he’ll vet it. He will also want to see if beforehand, just to make sure it doesn’t explode with his voice or something.>When Tanner says Lightspeed name Wha-et involuntarily smiles remembering a joke with the Jolteon’s name,but he’d rather save it for a more... appropriate moment.>Damn that thing Eevee is fast“Hello, I’m Wha-et I guess now that we are in PRIVATE there is no need for SECRET identities.>He pushes a ribbon into the yellow blur half expecting it to be swapped by the Jolteon running around, but he surprisingly stays put on the chair.“We have MET before, when you delivered me CANDIES and DONUTS, remember¿”>The yellow eevee mood is somehow infectious, Wha-et turns to Teleo “He gets more yellow with each delivery.”
>>81106690>>81106902>Please don't be having a stroke"A good idea, but a little obvious. What about communicating with your ribbons?""Are you able to transfer a wish like that? I thought they were supposed to be tailored to the individual making the wish!">Honestly with baby doll eyes Wha-et could probably passively mug every human"Oh dear, it sounds like Doro took enough fairy power to get a good understanding of dream manipulation, I think this battle won't be won as easily as you think Wha-et...">True, Teleo's never seen anyone else with a name quite like that"Could spin that its an ancient Sylveon naming scheme and only supremely powerful fairies that you don't want to mess with have them, so they leave you alone!">Do not give Willow unrestricted access to a tablet"You're offering to help? That would certainly be a crushing defeat for the gym leader if you ever joined the field! But if you're fighting, who's going to be cheerleading from the stands?">>81099120>>81106690>Poor guy's a trainer and has a phobia of stinging insects"You could see it like that. The hummie provides to house and the bees pay rent with honey, and when the hives gets big enough the hummie adds another house for them""Ah, has PB not said how its made? Then it is possible its the result of some sort of blessing, hmm. Ha, that does sound like something Taner would do!""Taner certainly does">Fed Beryl sounds like a paradox"Oh, and what secret agenda do the Rangers have? Also I highly doubt Beryl would be a Ranger, that doesn't seem in character for him"
>>81107108"Thank you... Sorry, I don't mean to dump all of that, this isn't really the time. But... I don't know, when I see someone trample on other's because they know they're stronger and treat them like they aren't people, it just dredges up those bad memories, and I think that happened today">He smiles at the fairy, hands reaching up to pet his cheeks"And I don't believe you'd do anything like that to me. I trust you">More than Wha-et probably realizes>>81107108>>81102500"Ok, good. I just wanted to make sure you ate something">That's a long time to be around someone so..."If she was actually your friend all those years, I don't think your family would have been in danger. I was a stranger, she didn't have any prior reasons to not be nasty. I wouldn't fret about that">He nods when Taner says they'll check the gift beforehand"If you say she was... I don't know, I'm not really sure I want anything from here and would rather just move on">Sorry she got in trouble probably>Teleo's eyes follow Lightspeed as he scrabbles around the room, seemingly unable to stay in one spot for more than a few seconds>He can see why he's called Lightspeed"Hello Lightspeed, its a pleasure to meet you! Ha, I know, I could tell you were itching to introduce yourself at the picnic but the others seemed to get there first. Glad we could finally greet each other!">Lightspeed's mood does also cheer up Teleo, his enthusiasm is quite infectious indeed"Oh? A sweets delivery, eh? I can see why Taner might have sent him, he does seem fast!">He laughs"Maybe being the speed of light has that effect on the fur"

Yeah, that, he can see, for sure. Actually get close to doing it, to someone she knew he already considered a friend?"I'll, uh, tell you what it is first, and then you can decide. And yeah, aside from that, let's move on.">Probably, a gift is the only way Phoxy can say sorry, Taner doubts she'd be able to actually get the words out on video>>81111738>>81106565>Taner doesn't say so, but yes, he did in fact promise that he'd view the gift before hand, so he has to get those "spoilers" in this case>That... is a very personal box for her to even be carrying a gift in, though Taner knows that she's not planning on giving the box to anyone, the fact that it's in that box is a surprise on it's own>And that looks like... a mega stone? Has Jim been working on finding a mega stone of some kind? Even if Inteleon could mega evolve, Taner doubts that Teleo could, considering even some Max Particles without a transformation seemed to be enough to put him in the Pokemon Center"It looks very pretty, almost like a Mega-Stone! But what, um. What is it?">From his talk with Teleo, he wonders if he'll even want whatever it is, or would rather just never hear from Phoxy again...
>>81107108>>81108415>Indeed, even after Lightspeed finds what he apparently considers the best spot he can find, staying still in it seems to give him trouble>He has a bit of an easier time when someone else is talking because it gives him something to pay attention to, his head goes from I've speaker to the other as they speak and he responds seemingly without taking any time to think at all (and yet somehow, more coherent and less blunt than Dream was) >When he speaks he seems to put emphasis on almost every other word, like some sort of comic book character>Looking at Teleo"Me -too-, I've never missed -out- on saying -hello- before! I -was- planning to -ask- if you wanted to test your -aim- with me -running- but -this- room is probably not a -good- place to do that!">He lifts himself up to look out the window, as if Teleo might be able to aim at him through the window if he was outside... But like many hospital windows, the Pokemon Center windows don't open>He does seem rather proud of having figured out a fun event (by his standards) that Teleo might be able to participate in even sitting down>Head turn to Wha-et"Wha-mon! I -wondered- why you picked a new -name-! Star says that if I ever go -faster- than lightspeed I'll go -back- in -time-! If I -do- that then I'll change my name to -Timespeed- because I'll be -faster- than -light-!">The ribbon doesn't get swiped but Lightspeed's head follows it instead of looking at Wha-et now, he looks like he wants to swipe but he's not going to"I -do- remember that delivery! I do a -lot- of deliveries, I'm -great- at getting anything to anyone -quickly-! That helps with -rescue- missions too!">He tilts his head"I'm -very- yellow! Taner gives me -bright powder- before -battles- which makes me even -brighter-!">Ironically, though, there's a large patch of fur on his back that seems to have turned completely white, as if from a move used on him the Center couldn't heal... but it clearly left the rest of him fine
>>81111738>>81120436>Doro's curiosity is too much to ignore, meeting Taner and Phoxy at the Center>The fox gives the pair a wave as she approaches>And then her focus is on the very personal box>Thoughts mirroring Taner's she watches as the box is opened, revealing a... purple glowing ball?"Huh. ...Something tells me that's not a typical Mega-Stone.">Is it actually a modified Mega-Stone, or does it just look like one and it's something else entirely>Doro waits for an explanation after Taner beats her to asking the question
>>81103145Yeah. Bugs don't really change size all that much in general after being fully grown, do they? Makes me wonder where any extra calories end up going. I guess they just, aren't stored? You know what never mind Star just told me what she thinks and that seems right, I don't need to know more.Ah, well, um, maybe this is just my Beryl-related paranoia speaking but, if they are going in a grimoire, I'm assuming he wants them for spell-related reasons, like what, um. The parts of them do. If I were you I'd be worried that my picture would be listed above what "wing/tooth/leg/etc of Yanmega" provides as a spell ingredient. But maybe he'll just list stuff that can be gained more, um, ethically, or maybe it really is just going to be, like, an animated pokedex in a book... but it's Beryl.Ah. Well, if you are going to be doing anything dangerous, I'd take it with you! We know from tests with it empty that it can survive a fall from pretty much any height so even if you need to go into it while in the air, it'd work out.(On the one hand, I'm excited to see what you make and think you'll have a lot of fun! On the other hand, I do hope I still see some of your handmade art again in the future, I really liked it!)>>81119589The day?(Whoops!)>>81075815>>81119828>Star nods approvingly<If you are not in need of it? That would save us from ordering some. I suspect yours may be more durable than the online variants. Though we do have a few of our own we have none for Taner.>>They have the ones they used with Sekhmet, so there's that>In fact, that entire RV of operations may be useful, going in with a full tactical setup may be the way to do this, if they can go in prepared"I know, but... this seems like it should hopefully be some pretty simple magic.">Taner can't notice Sam squinting unless that reflects on the screen"Oh. Well, okay then.">Seems like he's actively decided not to enquire any more right now about that. perhaps he noticed Doro's reaction
>>81102562(Ah, I see. Good luck then!)(From what I understand the Pokemon training card one does work on dmg, just in monochrome which is probably not the ideal way to play it lol)>>81115583Yeah. I, uh, may tell you about it later, because it is relevant to you in that, it's something you may want to know for future plans, all things considered. Though I'm not sure it'll change much. I guess I can just text you, actually, I do still have your number!Oh, they are ahead of us then! We'd better work on catching up!/>So, as for what happened/>I was having a picnic/meet-and-greet for Teleo and Wha-et, as I normally do when meeting new friends because before now I always considered that one of the best and most fun ways to meet new people/>And it was going well, but then... Teleo and Phoxy got inan argument, and Phoxy almost Thunder Punched him even though that could have killed him and she knew that, then he got frustrated talking to Blazy, probably about that, and Phoxy nearly told Roaring Moon to kill him before Repose put a stop to that and Blazy walked away! I didn't know this and invited them back in, Teleo felt stressed enough that he activated some sort of, uh, form that uses Max Particles and that wasn't good for him, and... well, it's all over now, but/>I can't be sure she won't... do that again. So how can I invite her to any events?/>She did say sorry, and I think she was/>But I also wonder if she still doesn't completely understand why it was not okay, or at least not agree that it wasn't... so from now on, if I ever invite her to something, it'll have to be after warning everyone else that's coming that she/>I don't even know how to phrase it beyond "she might try to kill you if she gets really angry and making her a little angry can easily happen, are you okay with her being there"/>I'm hoping by then I'll find a less blunt way to give that warning... And I'm sure most people will say "no" anyway, I probably would! if I didn't know her!

I have a coldI don't even have sinusesFML>>81084662Sorry on the delay, I've come down with a bit of a cold. A ghost coldSort of, but it's more magical, so it's cheating. It's like you take that 1 light, and then from a time perspective, imagine all the other 1 light's attached to it. By a theoretical strand you might say. The string will grow thinner and thinner the further away from that one moment it grows, but I can capture, in essence, a literal moving picture. I've got some really old ones in here of extinct Pokemon. It's pretty wild.A drill? I never took you for a miner, Mr. Dart>>81093179No, not really. My brain is a bit stuffy right now, but I still believe youPrice? It sounds like I'm helping a lot of people. So...Got any tasty snacky-snacks for me? Preferably of the Ghost-variety? Perhaps someone you don't like? Fufufufu~You owe me a dinner after allI'm half-kidding Taner. Assuming you won't do that, there's an alternative. I need a specific item. Sylveon fur. Wha-et's fur. Get some for me.
Goodnight everyone!>>81120697(Ah)(I haven't actually played the sequel myself yet, it's on my list)>>81121111Oh. Well, I hope you get over your cold soon.Yes. Though, it's also going to be, um, very dangerous for the people in the vicinity when it happens and, we may need to be in the vicinity when it happens. I seem to recall you said that, though I'll be happy if that's not the case. Uh, you also once said that spreading the price over several people could work to make it a smaller price for all of them...You know I'm not going to participate in a murder, so yes, not that. I can and will cook you up something extra spicy though if I owe you a dinner. Why do I owe you a dinner?I... I'm sure Fea would volunteer some of his fur if you promise it won't get him cursed, but I'm not sure Wha-et will and I'm not taking his fur without his consent, I've already caused him way more than enough trouble by accident, as is.

>>81120525Well, Pokemon bugs can certainly grow big, but their exoskeletons still have to stay proportional to their body’s growth. I am sure it’s the same for, crabs, or something. But, yes. No flabby flesh to worry about.I completely misread your post and thought you were saying he’d use the photograph of me to cast Yanmega related curses onto people. Curses like “you spontaneously gain Yanmega eyes”. So I typed this:“Ah. That makes some sense. I tend to just turn my brain off when I talk to Beryl so I don’t think about those things. It makes life a lot easier for me. I for one wouldn’t really mind him using my likeness to give people big wings. Or big teeth. At the end of the day, if Beryl’s tormenting someone, he has a seemingly infinite number of ways to do so. I do not feel particularly bad if he happens to channel one of my traits for it. I think I’d be a lesser evil out of those possible punishments, frankly. This conversation’s going to slip me back into the mental state of, wanting Beryl imprisoned forever. I probably shouldn’t stay on this for too long.”After rereading, I can change my response; I do not feel a strong sense of preservation towards my own kind, given how violent they often are. I am, very irritated. Every time I meet a Yanmega. I do not enjoy it. Very much.Besides that, I still have the same philosophy. He’d get his photograph eventually. It might as well be to the benefit of one Yanmega. Me.That’s true. I really don’t like the idea of leaving my camera to free fall from 500 feet high, though. (art is dead) (realistically, it’d be good practice for me to draw “Poké-wildlife photography”, but the motivation has to be there and etc etc.)(I’ve realized I’m approximately as picky dictating the appearance and contents of AI-made content as I am when looking at my own hand drawings. Some things never change) (thank you for not ignoring my posts btw very cool of you)
>>81121111How about instead, you come up with a bit of a warm. Ha ha. Loosely related: Why can you say you’re up for something, and also say you’re down for something? It means the same thing. Even though they’re opposite words. Sort of like terrible and horrible being different when you say “terrific” and “horrific”. I think that’s funny.That makes exactly as much sense as I speculated it would in my head. I like extinct Pokémon though. That is neat. While I have certainly helped with spelunking in the past, I do not mean that kind of drill. I mean a hand drill. The handheld electric kind. For construction. I might also need a camera. Hm. I really should’ve gained these aspirations before Christmas passed us by.
>>81121456yetspiritual malaise you know>>81121412>Wouldn't harm to try>Intense squinting for some pixels on screen"Aaaaaalright. I trust you. Just don't let the fairy charm get to your head.">>81121339sleep well!(and sleep for me too! goodnight)
>>81121456I couldn't say, ghost biology is weird. Wonder what that says about the viruses and bacteria that infect you. Are they microscopic ghosts?
>>81121644I think I'd love at least five or so warms right about now. Do they come in Dart shape.It's a bit of one of those "slang" sort of things. I always equated it to voting. Like "I put up/down my vote for that." or something. Don't ask me for certain though. Aye, it's neat. Too bad the pictures are fading. Just disappearing memories of lost species. Oh well...Ah, I see. Wish to do a bit of home decorating do we? Sly bug you. I personally enjoy building down. More room down there than up above in lots of cases.I can just steal one yknow>>81121755UhWhat?What does that mean?>>81121838I sincerely hope this doesn't imply that dead viruses go on to infect ghosts because that is fucking cringe
>>81122040I doubt it. Yes, something like that. Nothing very deep.That’s bleak. I don’t know how exactly one would build down, starting from a flat dirt plain. Which is where we live. I don’t feel like digging.Stealing is wrong, don’t do it unless it’s from a big store that wouldn’t notice.
>>81122414So what I am hearing is that it is not entirely out of the realm of possibility? I'll have to work on that.Reality is bleak, Dart. One day, all of these interactions will wash away, like tears in the rain. Or so a guy from a moderately popular science fiction movie says.Well it's simple. Get some architectural support, beams, dig, expand, expand the beams, so on and so forth. Diglett do it all the time. But without the beams, because a cave-in doesn't mean shit to them.Stealing is a victimless crime when it's a corporate store. I won't steal from a mom and pop shop if that's what you're asking. Unless I don't like them. Then I absolutely willHow fancy do you want it?
>>81122559I don’t really want to be a, physical comfort object, for anyone. Yes. This is innate. But you seem to be putting emphasis on how dramatically sad it is. Which I think is sad. Stop it.Right. I’ll get on that.That is, entirely what I’m asking, yes. I’m not really a camera expert. Preferably something that, uh. Zooms.
(gn yall)
>>81122678Except that one Xatu, amirite?Nudge nudge wink wink say no more?Eh? EH?HehA zoom feature? I haven't seen one that doesn't in years. Back when disposable cameras were a thing.Alright then, I'm off to go get one. You have a good night. Next time we're on, I'll hand it off to you for your approvalMwah~>>81122725(gn cofcof)
>>81122788Uh huh. I recently learned online that “uhuh” is the “improper” way of typing that. I’m trying to change my habits. >this would be a really funny opportunity to incorporate my idea that Dart isn’t in a relationship anymore at this point>but I will spare Beryl such disappointment Well, a good zoom. Preferably.Don’t work too hard on this. You are performing free labor. Without me even asking. Well, half asking. Because you seemed enthusiastic. I suppose.Goodnight Beryl. >>81122725(‘night)
Wah
>>81120697(Yeah that’s the one!)>>81121111Can ghosts actually get sick? Could all just be psychosomatic! In either case, hope you feel better soon Beryl…What are you planning on using Wha-et’s fur for?
>>81106690>>81120436“A good idea to be cautious with the information you share online, impossible to get rid of and you have no idea who’s watching”>Fea’s a father, disaster dad…“Fea sired kits? He didn’t mention that, good for him!”>He nods in agreement“Other parts of the forums are… unsavory to say the least. I stick to the page we all use, it’s relatively calm there”>Oh absolutely not“With how often Taner calls the Rangers on him, I would be surprised”>>81120436>>81107108>>81120469>The Jolteon is vibrating so much Teleo starts to worry if he’ll begin phasing through objects>Supremely hyperactive, he hopes Taner is keeping Lightspeed away from caffeine>But he’s incredibly endearing, and a surprisingly good listener“Sounds like a good challenge with how fast you seem, but a fun one. We’d definitely need a larger clearing for that! But we can see about planning something like that, maybe on a day your team is training?”>He looks towards Taner as he says that last part in question. Would be good practice for his aim too. He’s pretty confident in his accuracy, but he has a feeling Lightspeed would be a good test>He snorts and shakes his head as Lightspeed looks out the window. It the best look to be shooting moves from a hospital“Is that how time travel works? I guess that’s what that relativity thing is talking about, I could never wrap my head around it. Sounds like Star understands it though. Would be a mighty useful trick to learn!”>Might be able to beat flying delivery ‘mon if he’s as fast as it seems“Ha, bright powder would definitely turn you into a glittering blur!”>He does notice the patch on Lightspeed’s back and feels a pang of sympathy, even if it seems like the Jolteon is completely fine“Is that discoloration in your fur from an injury, by chance? Sorry to hear of it is, I can empathize on that one”
>>81119828>>81120315“Another L for pyschicks¡ It doesn’t I don’t need MOVES to wing at a simple CARD game, I’ll JUST will Whatever card I need to be on top of the deck when I draw!”> He doesn’t know how poker is played“You are not the first Poke to try to WEASEL out of the fairy’s benevolent WISH¡”“Not OVER-confident, when you KNOW what you are dealing with”>Wha-et smiles happily that somemon takes his world domination plans seriously“Exactly¡ in two weeks Paldea will be taken over¡ No where will be safe to hide.”“They wouldn’t go EASY on DORO, they would diminish stuff JUST enough so Doro edges a win¡ it’d be a FREIDNLY fairy request NO weird influence¡”>Wha-et is pretty confident in the fairyhood backing him up“Can’t Doro just recruit two Steel types and call it a day¿”>>81120436>>81124870“Nasty stuff...”>Magical sap is nasty“THEY are always WATCHING”>Wha-et makes a “tiny” sign with his ribbon’s tips “That’d be VERY impressive indeed. There are PARTS that are very interesting there saw how some people are OBSESSED with Sylveons or eevees...”>Beryls infinite reputation“That means Beryl might be in deeper than a normal Ranger, a super ranger”>>81124870>>81120469“I HAD to hide my identity I am kind of a BIG DEAL mon¡”>Wha-et tilts his head quizzically and looks at Star, then at Lightspeed... then at Star again then at Teleo“But then you’d find your past self... have you ever seen a future Lightspeed¿”>Wha-et shakes the ribbon wanting to shake the jolteon’s paw.“Ho yeah, you’d are the perfect addition for a Pokemon yellow rescue team™®. Ever since my sister saw you and the fire one she asks from time to time if you’ll ever be back.”>Pokespeak lets obscure characters be pronounced“I knew you were getting more yellow, I NOTICED it¡ That powder must be seeping into your FUR¡”
>>81120436>>81120517"Ah but you see, it's almost like a Mega-Stone because it is a Mega-Stone. Well... Was a Mega-Stone.">Was."...Specifically. The one that... Pink thing with the hammer gave us a long time ago.">What does this has to do with Teleo though.>Jim continues."Hehe. Remember when you got into her head?">The Phox mumbles."And the many times you get under my skin...""Hehe, I mean, literally. I wanted to see if it was possible to reproduce the experience, but without the subject... Well after a lot of work and some ghost shenanigans you know. Hehe.""We managed to cook-up something.">Phoxy makes a gesture that points towards the orb.>As if it said... "Ta-daaa""With the infinite power contained within this Mega-Stone and Jim's abilities, I do believe that we managed to... Reproduce the mind projection stuff you did before, but in a controlled environment.">It sounds a bit confusing.
Ya'll ever heard of Lillipup Welder?He's this super hero (?) or something who welds Lillipup's to people's facesKinda fucked up really
>>81126959NO idea what you talking about, I thought welding was only on mtals.
>>81126959I… what? That doesn’t sound like a super hero… I have to agree with Wha-et, how does that even work?
>>81127308>>81127983Well he takes the LillipupTakes the welderAnd welds it to your face
>>81128050I see,is this "Lilipup Welder" here in the room with us¿
>>81128050I’m not sure these Lilipup amalgams are physically possible but I’ll take your word for it
up
>>81122040Maybe! But then again Pokerus isn't a ghost, is it? And that can affect ghosts, so... I dunno.>>81120315>>81126017"I guess it's cause Psychics don't need a move to read minds if they know what they're doing. Thankfully Julius doesn't do that without permission.">Wha-et has decided on reality manipulation instead, naturally"I'm struggling to see it as benevolent...">Meanwhile, Teleo gets an unconvinced smile"Riiight, archfey Wha-et. I guess we'll see in two weeks!">The Sylveon's clarification has Doro tap her chin in thought"Hmm... would I notice something subtle like that? I hope so! Guess that means I have even more motivation to win the first time around.">And then, in response to Teleo's question..."Well... one option was a Klefki since they're native to Kalos, like Wha-et says Steel types are a good option. But I'm not super set on any of my choices yet. Why do you ask?">>81126959That sounds like a villain to me
wee
>>81122040it means you got soul bugs>>81126959that can't be good for the lillipup
wahoo
>>81120315Trust me, I've tried for many years. Yet, I can't resist that cute face of his when he does his mischief....even if it means having to locate pastry shop owners to pay for what Eff stole.>>81120569Tell me at your own pace.>And reading up/>I...oh dear./>I knew that Roaring Moon could only spell trouble. But her willingness to command them that way, it....undo many things/>It can undo her just fledging trainer career. It can undo her live as a free pokemon and person at all./>But that also she threatened our own friends? I...sorry, I am getting stressed out, thus the delay in reply./>In fact, I am adding my own message to the documents Phoxy will pick up for her start as a trainer. Even if she is not going to act on it, there are regulations. I hope that can do something on top of pleading not to threaten her own acquaintances./>Unless you have a better idea.
>>81119618>Phoxy will try to kick him a few times on the way if he gets too much in her way."You are totally correct.">She starts to notice how irritated he becomes.>Good.>So she will keep going."And now I'm leaving through the door~">Oh how she enjoys annoying the others.
Upup
>>81124870>>81126017>If it were possible to do so, he might very well do that>As it is, there's a slight zap-crackle sound because vibrating like that creates static electricity... he doesn't seem bothered by getting zapped by things he touches though>Yeah, he probably shouldn't have any caffeine, that's for sure>Looking at Wha-et, and the dancing ribbon, he seems to get the hint, goes to shake, then touches his paw to the chair first, there's a zap sound, then goes to shake again now that it won't zap the ribbon>He is a vigorous shaker"I didn't -know- you were -celebrity-! Star says that when -Taner- or -Doro- become -champion- they'll have to wear a -disguise- to avoid the popcorn-rot-bees!">Star corrects him"Paparazzi.">He nods"Right, that's what I said!">Back to Teleo"We train -often-! And there's a -lot- of clearings! That's probably -better- than just outside the -building- anyway!">Taner, meanwhile, looks slightly uplifted by the idea that Teleo and Wha-et aren't going to avoid him like the plague after this day>If anyone can test the accuracy of someone, it's Lightspeed... Teleo might get the feeling he does this for the others too, but feels like he'd be more challenged with Teleo, and is the type who looks for such challenges>Back to Wha-et"I -haven't-! But that's because I haven't gone that fast -yet-! If I -do- then I -will-!">That makes sense in his head at least>Back to Teleo"Star has said going that fast would be -dangerous- but I think I could do it -anyway-! The -transfer- system has to be -close- to that fast!">Seems like he considers those trips to still be "being fast" even if not by his own four feet>Back to Wha-et"We'll be back if we have -more- deliveries! Does she want -candy- too?">He doesn't seem like he'd be as obvious as Dream, just he's not thinking about any of that>Then, on the injury... talking about it doesn't seem to slow him down or even remove his smile>1/2
>>81124870>>81126017"I was -racing- a Pokemon who lost control and some -evil- flame hit me! It really -hurt-! Is it -still- there?">He turns around in the chair as if to try and look at his back, but the spot that he got hit apparently was his blind spot, because no matter how he turns, he can't see it>He gives up after a moment, apparently having tried and failed before>Back to Wha-et"If being more -yellow- can help me -dodge- or be -faster- than I'll be as yellow as I can be!">A nod to himself>>81126572>>81120517>Was a mega stone>Given by Rita?"Uh, yeah...">Taner replies>Not easy to forget that little adventure!>And then, the orb>That... Taner looks at Star, who is normally the one who will explain things to him when he's confused, but for once, Star doesn't seem to have a quick answer for him>He admits"That, uh, sounds really cool, but I still don't know what that means, I'm afraid. Is it like... like how Star can kinda go into my head when I'm dreaming though the, um, psychic mindscape thing?">He can see how Teleo and Wha-et could maybe use that?>>81134127Thanks./>I... Don't want to sabotage her career with this. But on the other hand, I guess you should be aware what you are risking.../>To be fair, this hasn't happened before, and Teleo very well may have done some things to provoke it/>not many people are even willing to push her buttons and I think, as she got angrier, so did he, and it just... exploded, and when she heard glass breaking she thought Blazy might be in danger…/>Even so, that's the most charitable I can be, and I can say for sure he wasn't doing anything to threaten her life before she did that/>So... yeah, I can't say you shouldn't do something like that, even as I want to say the whole training thing might be good for her, after this I don't know if I can justifiably say I think she's completely ready, trainers anger other trainers all the time and some Pokemon will definitely say hurtful things in battle
>>81121560I wish humans worked the same way. I'd save a lot of time I spend exercising right now! Both of those responses make perfect sense. And yes, probably better to move off the topic before I feel the same way you were starting to regarding Beryl. Which would be extra bad while I'm in need of a deal. A curse for Yanmega wings wouldn't be too bad actually. Not really a curse if the wings actually work.It's very unfortunate that your Yanmega encounters have been so unpleasant, though! I'm guessing none of them have been trainer Yanmega? Maybe you should give one of them a Pokegear and wait like a year before talking to them? I know that sounds like I'm joking, but for real, that might make a difference!That philosophy makes sense, yes.That's a point. I wonder if you aren't holding on to anything else, the camera might count as a hold item? You'd want to test that when you're near the ground, though.(Art will never die. It's always changing, but never dying)(Understandable)(Also understandable. I think you may want to try mixing the two, doing a base yourself and then AI for the rest or the other way around, you have a major advantage in being able to do both)(I never ignore your posts on purpose!)>>81121755>>81121364Thank you! And good norning!>>81121363>>81121412>Star would say Doro should have a headcam too>She'll probably try to get everyone to have one"Beryl is. I guess if he doesn't want to do it, I have some others I can ask...">Though I don't know if I want to just say the MDs allow it without having some sort of price involved and I'd have to think of what it is myself at this point which makes it awkward so probably not going that route>Visibly squinting>Taner is impressed with the expressiveness of the PDA>>81126959In this, I'm in agreement with Wha-et. That sounds both not real, and not like a super hero at all.That just sounds like body horror, to be honest.>>81132569Exactly!>>81128151(This animation is gold)
>>81121456Yes, and that's without the fact that the Slowking in question is very evil and has done some major self-experimentation that might make this a lot more dangerous than it would normally be. Pretty sure he managed to summon, like, the shadow of Giratina for an attack on me and Doro at one point.I wasn't even the one who called the rangers on you that time, that was Daniel! Yes, I would have done it if he hadn't, that is true. But I didn't do it, because he had already done it!Normally, Beryl, I'd probably just do it, I'm sure what you want is just a prank or something and that's fine. But... recently, something happened that damaged Wha-et's trust in me, and I'm not going to do -anything- that could be considered a betrayal of trust again, not even something that's putting a toe into that territory. I'm very sorry, your price is very fair and better than I have any right to expect... but I still can't do it. Not now.I will still be making you the meal, though. I'm going to see how spicy I can make some fresh Piment d'Espelette, I'll have to mix other spices in because that's mild on it's own, but I'll try to bring out the taste of that one in particular for you, since I'm in Kalos right now and can get them fresh.>>81124870>>81124870>Whisper doesn't seem to think the sap was nasty, but then, he's only really seen what it's been used for"Do you really think so? Star says Taner needs to work on his... information security.">Whisper quotes the words like he does know slightly what it means but really isn't studied on it like Star is>Then on Fea, Whisper nods"He has five now, the first three triplets, Kaz, Cirrus, Ivy... then the younger two, Zippip and Eliza... They are all with Prenne right now.. Fea has to act differently when he knows they are watching...">Sounds like Whisper prefers when Fea knows they are watching, actually>Whisper doesn't look at all convinced about Beryl being a "super ranger" though, but he's too shy to say so
>>81137479/>Yes, I know. I worked off trainer records and what I have seen of her, I was not expecting that...pokemon/>This is all a terrible situation, for everyone./>It needs to be defused, before it explodes later.>>81135426>Eff is is redoubling his effort>He can not allow himself to look bothered"So soon? It is not like you have anyone waiting for you!">He is in perfect punting range for his insolence>Also, there is something more to the documents>One, is that the registration only considered pokemon registered to Sharon, other than Phoxy herself. That may be an issue with the Nidoking and the Roaring Moon>Another is, there may be a letter from Daniel himself, if the pickup is from after the latest picnic
uhhh
ahhh
>>81137479>By Rita?>Who is Rita?>That's Reina!>She's going to punt you with her hammer!>Wherever she is.>She's like the snail meme, you never know where she is, but she is slowly getting closer.>Phoxy rolls her eyes."Fine, I get it. The stupid version for stupid people it is. Basically instead of getting into my head and doing whatever pervy thing you do in there, imagine doing the same except you're not going into my head but you're going into... This.">While pointing out at the purple stone.>Jim asks one crucial question."Hehe, but why would you want to go in a mega-stone~""I'm glad someone asks the right questions. This is like a... Portable... Imaginary training device of some sorts? Uhhh... Basically. Imagine this: What if you wanted to train really hard with a specific situation, but you don't want to deal with the physical strain or the potential danger. This is what it's for!">This still sounds a bit confusing."You can project your mind in this, and you can train and practice against each other as if it was real! Though it's all in your mind and you don't really get stronger physically...">>81137838"I do actually.">Phoxy shoves Eff away with her foot.>Begone, fluffy snake on legs!>Soooo... They're all registered to Sharon?>Not sure I understand.>And a personal letter."Ugh."
>>81126017>>81130236“They may not be expecting your fey magics when dealing the cards, you could definitely use that to get a lucky hand!”>Just don’t over do it or fairies might be banned next!“Exactly the reason, harder to detect from a well trained psychic. Just funny that other types are allowed that can do exactly the same thing”>He smirks at Doro“Who knows, maybe you scared him off from doing it with all of the depraved things you keep in that noggin of yours”“What’s more benevolent than free dolla, Doro? Don’t you like free money?”>The great two week fairy war“Right, it’s not overconfidence when you quite literally cannot fail. Frankly I expect Paldea to fall within a week”>Wha-et looks so precious when planning to take over the world“Sounds like a good backup plan, but I have faith Doro can knock this one out in one attempt! Klefki does sound like a good idea. Just curious! I just remembered you had those flex slots on your team and was wondering if you have those spots any thoughts as of yet. Steel types do seem like the obvious choice, are there any other options locally?”>>81134127I feel as though I may be facing that same issue. Arceus give us both strength…
>>81126017>>81137465>>81137479>Teleo chuckles as the two share an enthusiastic shake, must be excited meeting someone of great importance!“Oh yes, they’ll be pestering one of them for as long as they hold the title. A disguise for Doro should be a cakewalk, suppose Taner could opt for the classic hoodie and dark tinted sunglasses”>Star would probably need one too“Oooh gossip, does your sister have a crush on Lightspeed?”>This is the first time Teleo has heard someone pronounce those, Wha-et must be very well spoken>Seeing Taner is better spirits is nice, Teleo feels his smile grow a little more“Then it sounds like we have some planning to do! Our schedule is pretty open, so if there’s a day you all are planning on spending training let me know”>He gives Lightspeed a sleepy smirk“I’ll warn you though, I never miss”>This sounds like a movie premise“Wouldn’t encountering your past or future self create a paradox? Time travel rarely makes sense when you stop to think about it”>He looks to Star if she has any better idea on how that works>Evil flame?>At least it doesn’t seem to bother him, it’s rather funny watching him to to turn to look for the spot“It’s just a white patch of fur, honestly not that noticeable unless you’re perceptive. So it was an accident on their part? Sorry to hear it was painful, I’m not really sure what ‘evil fire’ could be but it doesn’t sound pleasant”>Actually it’s red that makes you go faster, yellow makes bigger explosions“Seems like it’s working! Very keen on seeing your top speed”
>>81126017>>81137527“Star is right, it would be wise for Taner to do so, especially if he continues to run into trouble”>Wha-et would enjoy those threads“Obsessed is putting it lightly with some of those people… I made the mistake of looking into one about Inteleon out of curiosity”>He shudders. The horrors“Hmm. Maybe Beryl is a double agent. Would explain how he’s able to evade the Rangers so easily”>Quite a few kids“Sounds like Fea and Prenne have their paws full! Is Prenne also an Eevee? And I would hope he does, he needs to set a good example for his kids…”>Truly a disaster dad
