Direct your porn dumps there, not here.Question of the day: Do you or your pokemon have any vices or other bad habits?
(I’m back, baby. Sorta. Short story: it was a CPU issue and I had to go to the computer shop half a dozen times this weekend because trying to fix it kept creating new issues. But I have my trip and my pics again.)>>81856653 (Taner)>Anri woke up about an hour after the wish in her bed>She felt a little more dead than usual>And a million times more guilty>Not even a week since she escaped and this cursed body already hurt someone>Just the first peek of whatever darkness ZODIAC had buried within her>Even though Lightspeed didn’t seem to mind, her head still hung under the weight of those two days>Stupid, stupid, stupid“I deeply apologize. I should have remembered that was a possibility and chosen another way. I never wanted anyone else to suffer for my sake. I owe you twice now.”>After Dandelion, Oceana, and Lightspeed helped her to her room, she wouldn’t take visitors for the rest of the day>Dandelion dutifully brought her dinner and sat next to her on the bed“So you screwed up? Who cares. Not the guy you hurt, by the looks of it. You’re the only person being this hard on yourself.”>He wouldn’t understand how it felt to be stuck in an unfamiliar, monstrous body>She had to tame it or she’d keep being a load, keep owing everybody favors, keep screwing up>Dandelion gave her a little side hug, and she gave him a big one back>She’d gotten him to safety, at least>That’s one success in her jaws>She fell asleep holding him just like the night before>A memory nagged at him and kept him awake>He hopped over to the phone and texted Taner/>When we first met, you called your Pokemon your family/>What did you mean by that?>>81859335 (ZAPMAN)Couldn’t find anything online, but there are a ton of old books around the castle. If you want I can check and see if something crops up in there.Why does everyone keep calling you a toaster?
>>81884257>>81869605 (Teleo)/>Yeah. She always called herself a “Black Marowak,” though. I don’t think she ever lived in Alola. Dad was the Kantonian type. No idea which I would be…>Hopefully he’d be human before he ever had to find out>The thought of the future scared him a little bit>Were they going back to Kanto?>Was he going to have to leave this beautiful castle and go live out in the woods?>Hopefully he’d be human before he had to find that out too/>I don’t think we’re making any plans until we have dad back and safe/>This all came as a surprise/>No kidding, I think Taner would give me the shirt off his back if I asked/>Is he like this all the time?>>81873560 (Phoxy)Magic and “magic?” You can do real magic and still bother with three-card monte?>>81876193 (Taner again)(I actually haven’t decided where Chopin is yet… maybe the results of the scrying are unclear for now?)/>Facing them head on is the only way we’re going to find Chopin>And a way back to normal
>>81884257thaaaat could helpFarad is sure that he saw a pokemon, before it hid awayuhthat's a long storydo ask if I can help you somehow, we're still in Alola
>>81884728>Dan dug around the library (I can only assume a castle has a library somewhere), but couldn't seem to find anything useful>As he examined a shelf, he felt a chill touch on his shoulder>He spun around to see nothing there>He felt it again and spun again>Around and around, chasing a chill>When he was good and dizzy, a book fell from the shelf and clonked him right on the skull>After getting his bearings back, he jumped to his feet and threw a tantrum>If whatever did that was too cowardly to face him, the floor would take its punishment>Eventually he went to put the book away, or at least get it to a servant>It was an ancient encyclopedia, over a hundred years old, maybe even older>And it had fallen to a page with a very particular looking drawing>Dan snapped a pictureIt's only kinda lavender, but did it look something like this?
>>81882661 (Wha-et)>Teleo notices the nervous fidgeting and gives Wha-et a reassuring smile, which turns into a snort as the fairy questions their humanity"Normal two arms, two legs, no tail humans, I assure you. And don't worry, they've been happy I found a partner so I expect the meeting to go well">Unovan tourists always have to be real extra, huh>Teleo smiles as the ribbons wrap around him, providing extra comfort to them both"They were actually talking about extending the dock since the town's been slowly expanding">He points to their right, down the shoreline"You can see how the dock ends, but the street continues a little ways more, warehouses and the like. Should ease up the congestion a -little-, but that also means that more boats and dock, which means more traffic, and so on. Its a balancing game">He laughs at the idea of a city on a dock"It gets much more difficult to build a sturdy dock the further you get out, even with the assistance of water types. Plus, you don't want to mess with the shoreline too much for the environment's sake">One of the Arrokuda gives Wha-et the stink eye, swims up to the surface and spits water at the fairy. Teleo can only shake his head at the sight of the dripping Sylveon"Kind of deserved that one, the rock was a bit much">Oh the claw machine. Teleo is curious as to what Wha-et will do"Sure, I'll keep a look out">He'll do his best to be in the way so the fairy can cheat out a prize"You can also see into the stadium from here">Just barely at this height, but the enormous stands break way to a large blue field"Haha, have mercy oh fairy overlord, they stand no chance against your might!">This must be what its like dynamaxing!>Teleo joins in on the squishing, giggling with his mate>Teleo smiles down at his mate, enjoying how pretty his silky fur and blue eyes are>They snuggle for a bit, enjoying the Sylveon's rhythmic purring before he lift's Wha-et's chin and gently kisses him at the apex of the ride
>>81883822 (Taner)>>81881676 (Doro)>>81882641 (Wha-et)"There's a place in Wyndon that has one of those 'eat the spiciest wings within 20 minutes to get your meal for free' sorts of things that masochists do, could try that for illusion training">Taner makes some good points"Canceling a Hyper Beam because their tongue is on fire would be a very good strategy. And nullifying any healing items. I can't see why that wouldn't be legal, it is his ability as a pokemon after all!">Teleo notices the genuine frown and feels a bit bad"Aw, I'm sorry. You can always tell us to cut it out. You're not -that- evil, juuuuuust a little bit">He pokes Wha-et and wags his finger"Hey, don't be typist. Doro's evilness is all from his own twisted mind""And I'm sure you've been laughing at all the naughty comments you've been dying to make">Teleo waits for Fea to pop back up before bluffing that he's about to spray him again to make him flinch, chuckling all the way"Larger illusion range seems pretty handy. I do wonder if you could somehow mask the dynamax event with an illusion, so they think you're still normal sized">If illusions could even cover that all up>Tasty moon cheese"This sounds like an important opportunity for the science community. They would give you an award for discovering what type of cheese its made out of!">Helping hand chaining, could be promising!"Seems like you'll have your hands full with this one, eh, eh? Those are good ideas, how do you plan on implementing them in a League officiated battle?"
>>81884100Well, I used to smoke when I was younger, but I haven't done that for over 2 years now. I suppose alcohol would be the next thing? I don't drink -that- often, maybe have a glass or two once or twice a week. I think that counts as a vice though>>81884053 (Zapperman)Maybe the psychic crystal could boost your thought processing speed or something>>81884268/>Hmm, interesting. I don't really know the nuances of regional forms, but I want to say that it depends on where you are when you evolve and not your place of origin?/>Evolution is weird/>Ah, yes that makes sense/>A moment of opportunity then, rather than some large enacted plan? That's very lucky/>Oh he would absolutely do that, Taner's a bleeding heart/>All the time. In fact, it happens so often he regularly gets himself into trouble because of it/>Usually Star tries to keep him from going too deep down the rabbit hole, but I think once he sets his mind on helping someone, there's no stopping him/>If you stick around online, I'm sure you'll hear some tales/>Been curious, where did you learn how to use a pokegear and type if you were wild and then kept in captivity by ZODIAC?
>>81884100Me: SugarMy Sneasel: Falling asleep in places that make her wake up sore My Glalie: Killing the grass in my backyard>>81869605 (Teleo)I’m pretty sure fairies just like sugar in general, that’s like their brand. They’ve got Sweet Kiss, after allI may or may not be emotionally stunted>>81878361 (Zapman)I think Ranger/police departments in general are against using electric vehicles, for all sorts of reasons
oh
>>81885468True. Maybe you're a fairy and you haven't realized it yet
Twizard
I’m back you porn addicted betasHow are we?(Life finds a way)(To get in my way of posting here)(Blughgh)>>81820175“Well, the first step is to acquire thine interests. Thou enjoys aggression, yes?”>That’s a weird question that isn’t entirely untrue>He attempts to give the hand on bicep fist pump maneuver ala Rosie the Riveter but without muscles (or hands) it just looks off“Simply apply thine aggression to new activities. Like cooking! Or stamp collecting! Or stand up comedy!”>images of Phoxy violently roasting hecklers may flash in your mind>The Frillish holds their smile and pose for a few more moments before sighing and deflating somewhat“I am being hopelessly optimistic again aren’t I? Ah well, I doth suppose I tried…”>They look somewhat tired. Probably from being cut in half but you get a sense that they feel…. Dispirited >His big red eyes lock onto yours as he asks a question “I wasn’t very helpful, was I?”
>>81890110I am not a twink! I am not a twink!>>81890762Afternoon Kong! I've been alright, been enjoying the warmer weather that's suddenly come in. Lots of swimming, trying to slowly get back into shape. How about you?(rip)
>>81891030You’re a twink and I could slurp you whole like the noodle you areAlthough you look too slimy to be honestIt’s never been this warm this early before. Flowers are blooming, the air conditioner got uncovered, it’s basically fucking summer. What happened to spring?
>>81884942>Wha-et breathes easier, Hummies are his specialty“Yay, don’t worry, Hummies are EASY to fall for my charms>He sees the city suddenly appearing back once the dock ends, the difference between the tourist side and city side it’s very bizarre“They should just destroy all CARS Teleo, and no more traffic. Cars are HUMMIE magic that doesn’t work for me, I’ve TRIED to drive them, like in my MOVIES¡”>His eyes look at the shoreline, shiny sand under the sun“Then they could make a second FLOOR for the dock. It doesn’t need to be close to the shore for it to be a DOCK, it just needs that DOCK vibes¡ The vibes are WHAT’S IMPORTANT,”>It hits the water straight to his face, causing him to stagger back, ribbons on face cleaning the mess“GET HIM TELEO¡”>Once he is cleaned, he pouts at his mate“This MEANS war against the FISHKIND I’ll get them ALL¡”>Once Teleo is on the lookout, he puts in the amount and starts operating the claw, his face close to the glass pressing his entire body against it. A ribbon snicks between his body and machine, making its way under the claw as it moves towards a cheaply made Sobble plushie>Wha-et operates the claw and picks it up, the claw does the thing where it open enough to drop the plushie. Ribbon picks it up and hovers it under the claw as it “drops” it into the intake>Plushie on ribbons he quickly makes its way away from the game, once there is some distance he unwips the prize handing it to Teleo.“Look Teleo, it’s you¡”>At least it wasn’t a labubu>He looks over the stadium it looks so imposing, he squints trying to see if inside the blue field“It’s SO BIG¡”>Squishing hummies and mons would be the first thing he’d do after dynamaxxing>The sylveon melts into the kiss in such a romantic spot it makes his heart flutter>He happily prances out of the ride once it’s over the excited fairy panting under the sweltering coast sun above him.“I could USE an ICE CREAM¡ I wonder if what FLAVORS are in here¡”
>>81884100Some hummies eating a ton of CANDY is a bad habit, but they are OBLIVIOUS that's needed to power our FAIRY magic¡>81880992(Teleo)That SOUNDS nice, seashells are CUTE too, but there are HARD to find on the beaches I’ve went¡Nope, I looked up tribal stuff; it’s mainly tattoos and piercings. Piercings look painful, and I think my FUR prevents TATTOSS from showing up. They should make temporal piercing like temporal tattoos...>>81890762Hello PANDAI've been adding KEYS to my collection of precious KEYS I shall someday create a Klefki to no longer need keys¡
>>81891309I am not a twink!!!! I uh, I'm not sure that would work? Unless you're larger than I imagineI typically have moisture on my scales so they don't dry out but I wouldn't really consider it 'slimy'That's what I was thinking! We went from having to bundle up all the time to summer vibes over the course of, what, 2 weeks? It was certainly a rapid increase in temperature. The pollen here is in full force already when it usually happens around mid April. And there's a -lot- of it too! I don't typically have allergies but my sinuses have not been happy lately>>81891575They're fairly common here, at the beaches most people don't go to at least. And sometimes you can trade with one of the local water types that live on the shore, they usually have some very nice looking shellsThat sounds about right. I've seen Inteleon with piercings in their crest before, which seems rather uncomfortable to me given how sensitive those are... Doubt I would ever do anything similar. I wonder if you could find maybe a stencil or some sort of pattern and use fur dye to get a tattoo effect? And I'm pretty sure there are temporary piercings, I think they use magnets!
>>81891575You’re collecting keys? Well I guess everyone needs a hobby. Hardly the weirdest thing I’ve heard aboutYou know Klefki aren’t made of keys right? They collect keys instead. They’re organicHey, answer this for me. Do you consider Teleo to be a twink?>>81891846It’s called me being a nearly nine foot tall big mama bear and you being a skinny beanstalk who toppled in a light breezeIsn’t that moisture, like, mucus? Which means you’re covered in snot. Booger twinkWell guess who has a strong nose? Me. Guess who is feeling the pollen full blast? Also me. Seasons are fucked. If we get a freeze now the entire crop rotation is buggered
>>81891523>Car woes"They aren't designed for us mon in mind. I've tried to drive one, having a tail this long makes things awkward and uncomfortable">Second floor wouldn't be a bad idea?"That could work. The issue at that point is any potential major storms. The higher you build, the more damage wind can cause. But I'm pretty sure I've seen muli-leveled docks before, so its certainly possible">Teleo shakes his head and shoots a low powered Snipe Shot at the fish. Now the fish has two mortal enemies"Perhaps instead of razing Galar when you dynamax, you battle against the sea. They'd never expect it">Teleo's surprised at the sneakiness Wha-et is attempting with this. He expected the fairy to just slip a ribbon inside and yank a prize out>Whenever anyone passes by, he makes sure to shuffle over to block their view of the machine, pretending to be on his phone>He holds onto the poor little Sobble plushy and gives it a big ol hug, smiling at his mate"I love it! Its very cute! Thank you love">He leans down and gives Wha-et a smooch>Thank Arceus, those things are creepy"Now that was an excellent idea love, I think I'll remember this forever">Teleo follows the fairy as they exit, happy that the fairy seems to be having the greatest of times"Ice cream sounds good, I was about to ask if you wanted to grab a snack. There's a good place not too far from the docks we can go to!">And once again, Teleo leads them. Its a short walk past the flow of busy people, and eventually they enter a small little ice cream parlor>The chill feels nice compared to the warming temperature outside. Behind the counter is a bored looking human who gives them a lazy wave as they enter>Flavor-wise, there's plenty to choose from. The typical vanilla, chocolate, mint are all there, as well as the combinations. There's also flavors for just about every berry under the sun, and plenty of toppings to choose from"Go ahead and get whatever you want, we can get something big to share!"
>>81884268I mean it's more like... Y'know, magic and psychic magic. Telekinesis and telepathy and stuff. Two different things. Complicated story.>>81890762"I'm not exactly sure it's a good idea for me to get in any of those things.">Phoxy stamp collecting.>She'd stamp stuff on your face. Painfully.>At least he tries to cheer her up."Yeah, not really in the mood to be honest.">But when his cheerfulness starts to fade..."Nah, you were useful. We took down that drugged up fucker and it's all that matters. What's done is done, that fight is over...">She then looks back to the door she came in."...Just a matter to wait to see how Kong is doing...">>81883832 >>81881676 >One more victory for Phoxy.>And she got 4000 Pokedollars this time.>Better."I feel like I'm beating up kids, which is fine by me since I'm getting money from it."
>>81891922Ok, slightly larger than I was thinking. I still don't think that could work, not unless you like, unhinge your jaw or something. I am not that skinny! If it was that troublesome we wouldn't be around anymore!Not really? Its just water, essentially. Water-type stuff. So no, I am not covered in snot or mucous or whatever else you want to call it. Oh sweet Arceus I am not a Booger Twink, ew!I was about to ask how bad the pollen was over there for you. That sounds terrible. I hope you have plenty of allergy medication at least, or at least something to deal with it. It gets annoying when the pollen count is high, since it just sticks to my scales. If I'm outside for long enough I'll come in greenish-yellow, its so gross.
>>81891846I guess the less transit beaches have better BOUNTIES of seashells. I wanna a BIG SEASHELL to hear the ocean. There must be a SMALL mon singing the ocean¡Off, maybe yours are more sensitive or trained, that means I could nibble on your feelers. Hooo like PAINTING my fur¡ sounds coolio, although it’d GROW out.Yeah, BUT how do magnets work¿ huh I understand how piercing function but not MAGNETS. They could EXPLODE at any second.>>81891922Yeah i find tons of keys on hummies around the cities¡ they are imbued with TASTY purpose!Well I shall use my HOARD to lure a Klefki and capture it¡ It shall open all the doors in existence for ME, it’s NEW MASTER¡He IS¡ A very thin lizard too¡ In GOOD SHAPE too
>>81892175>The Frillish purses their mouth together as their thoughts drift to Kong“She was the one who asked me if I wanted to help in this endeavor. I doth always want to be useful but, well, had I known this would be so troublesome…”>The sentence trails off. It doesn’t take a genius to understand where>At the other end of the room, a Rockruff with a sprained ankle is discharged>In spite of the endless flow of patients the staff doesn’t complain or become disheartened. They simply press on“Her spirit is strong. I saw her briefly as they moved her from one room to another. We Ghost types are a bit closer to the veil between worlds. We notice things. For a time I was worried, but to watch her unconscious form grapple its way back to life was remarkable. I wish there were some way to ensure her speedy recovery”>He begins staring into space, plumbing the depths of his mind>An idea is fermenting>>81892177Well I can do that too, but again, eyuck, slimy booger boy. GrossYes I know it’s just water but it’s easier to tease you this wayI saw a Fearow land in a tree and literally a fucking cloud of pollen came out of the leaves and buried the damn thing in tree spooge. And don’t get me fucking started on the fucking grass types. Literally>>81892756Well if you wanna lure a Klefki that’s the way to do it. The harder part is gonna be keeping it compliant. Those little bastards are notoriously finicky. If you don’t keep them supplied with fresh keys they’ll just fuck offAs I thought. Would you describe him as slimy?
>>81884257>Lightspeed seems to take it as a training challenge, a way to practice his other moves more while his electricity recovers and to make sure he's not reliant on it somehow for his speed!>Oceana and Lightspeed don't know how to check vitals or anything on ghosts so they just going to have to trust Dandelion's judgement on if taking Anri to a Pokemon Center is warranted or not>If he says not and then it takes an hour, Oceana will have shoed Lightspeed away from the castle by that time, all he's doing is running up and down the halls and that's not helping anyone>Oceana reassures Anri when she wakes up (assuming that she said that out loud and not via text to Taner, so Oceana is the one there to hear it)"Consider the apology accepted by everyone involved. I know Taner well enough to tell you that he won't consider it a debt, I highly doubt my brother would either. I'd say we learned for next time, but I doubt it will even be applicable in the future, since there shouldn't ever be a reason to shock you again. Just keep it in mind if you decide to challenge someone to a battle, after your health has recovered fully.">Polite as always, but she sound earnest as well>Taner takes a moment to respond, though he can see the "typing" field pop up more than once>He's giving the reply some thought!/>One of my favorite songs has a line: "Family trees don't need be organic, the branches you've grafted are equally valid"/>I think it's that way with a lot of trainers. I've been with Star and the others for... more than four years now? And we've been through everything together. Every life milestone is shared by all of us, every concern shared by one of us becomes something we all share, all of our goals include each other, we trust and protect each other... we've basically "adopted" each other in every way/>The only one who I wouldn't call "family" in that same sense is Star, because we're... uh, we're more than that, to each other...
>>81884100I used to have quite a few bad habits, eating too much mainly, energy drinks, Star pretty much helped me get rid of all of them. I guess if one calls "worry" a bad habit, there's that, but I'm doing better on that end too.Fea has a bad habit of being too lewd. I know he can stop at any time because he's not like that when his kids are around.>>81884268(Noted)(Beryl and Tempest haven't posted recently anyway so Taner may not get a chance to ask for a while)/>Probably so. And when it comes to that, I'll be there. But, uh, bringing a lot of backup for that too. Sam for sure, probably a lot more, maybe Phoxy too. I have a lot of friends who'll be willing to help when we find him, if it comes to a full-on assault, plus I suspect we'd be able to get help from the rangers and even the League itself. It's not like any region wouldn't want to rid itself of Zodiac.>>81885468I could probably say "sugar" for myself too, even now, if less so than before.>>81890762Uh, doing okay. You?It is getting warm pretty early in the year in Kalos too, though I'm going to go through a route that's in a blizzard pretty much all year soon, and that's weird in it's own different way.>>81892175>>81881676"Well, uh, with the teams they are using for you right now, that's not completely inaccurate. But I'm sure they are learning from the battle! And it won't be like that once you get some more badges, it'll get a little harder, but you'll be getting more money too!"
>>81884953>>81881676>>81882641"I just don't know if anyone's ever done it before! But I sure can't see as there'd be any rule against it!">Star adds"I doubt it would be an expected attack avenue. Few Pokemon will have trained to deal with it.">As for Fea"Maybe, but I don't think even you have enough water to shoot at me every time I have a naughty thought, eh? Besides you'd have to read my mind to truly know~">It does get him to flinch back, but he gives a very, very exaggerated sigh>As for the moon, Taner does add something"It's got to be swish, right? Because, like, look at the color. That's not cheddar!">Not something useful, but something!>As for the helping hand chain"We won't be able to use anything after the first one in anything but a triple battle, which never happens, or in non-league emergencies which do happen. But, the goal is, once someone feels what that upgraded move would feel like, they may be able to learn from that how to get that version of it, or at least some aspects of the upgrades, without a double helping hand! Basically, learning more about how to use the move by getting a boost!"
>>81882641>>81883822>>81884953"Hmmm... I'll be really shocked if I do start saying things like that.">That's what you get playing with fire>He manages to focus on the illusion conversation again, looking thougtful at Taner's suggestion"It might! All those ideas are worth a shot at least. And I have actually thought of the bad tasting berry idea, but I wasn't sure if it was allowed.">Teleo's suggestion makes Doro chuckle nervously"Guess I should try that challenge at some point... really commit the experience to memory...">The pain.>The fox is surprised to hear Teleo's apology, though he looks thankful"It's alright... I should know you don't mean it at least.">The backhanded defense gets him to tilt his head slightly"Hmm. Maybe I'm just misunderstood and you both mistake it for evil.">Woe is him>Fea does enjoy playing with fire, or water in this case>Doro points his claw like a finger gun and splashes Fea with illusory water. It just goes right through him."Sorry, I saw the opportunity and had to take it">The mental image of Wha-et trying to swipe the moon is amusing"The moon's made of cheese, you say? Taner's right, gotta be swiss.">Then, to Teleo"Maybe... but the transformation kinda has a ton of fanfare, it'd be pretty tough to hide that as it's happening. Making it seem to wear off early should be doable.">>81892175>>81894298>Doro chuckles at Phoxy's comparison"Yep, don't worry that'll change!">>81890762I don't think I've heard that beforeThere's this neat sundial in Anistar, hard to describe it but it sparkles like snow.Also Phoxy battled the Psychic gym and kinda wiped the floor with it. Taner's up next.
>>81894298My nose feels like it got facefucked by a Maractus but I’m otherwise fineOh yeah I know what you’re talking about. One theory I heard was that it was a curse. I personally truck more with cold air getting trapped mixed with valley like geography leading to high winds. What’re you doing there? Camping?>>81894417You of all people fit this description the mostIt sparkles like that due to excess light going through fractals in the rock. Geology fun facts. I’m not surprised about Phoxy, she’s tough. Could go big if she cared enough for it but that’d require the patience of going through registration
>>81894543(Fergot me fackin picshur)
>>81893744Wow, are you part snake or something? That seems like that would be painful to do. This better not be a new thing you're calling me, twink was more than enough!Drat. I see how it is. Well hopefully all this bullying doesn't cause you to miss bingoPoor guy, that must have been terrible to experience. At least the plants are happy this year? And yes, the grass types are... very active right now. Even though I live in the middle of a port town you can hear some of the noisier ones...>>81892756Ah, typically if you trade with the water types you can get shells like those! they know us poor land dwellers enjoy them, so they collect those types of shells pretty often. I don't think that's how it works but its possible! Maybe they're something only fairy eyes can seeHmm. Its possible there's some variation there. I would still think it to be far to sensitive for a piercing to be a pleasant experience, though I guess if you wear it for long enough you'd get used to it like all things. Wha-et, you already know how sensitive those are, do not nibble my frills! Seems like there would be some upkeep to it, but maybe your fairy magic could apply something like a permanent tattoo to your fur that you wouldn't have to reapply as your coat grows?Well, they're made of things like iron and nickel that have a magnetic field that have a north and south pole, and the opposite poles of those fields attract! They don't explode, I'm not sure where you got that idea, they just attract and repel each other
>>81893744>Phoxy's thoughts also drift to Kong."Yeah, don't worry about that. It's most likely my fault, if...">She looks down."...If I hadn't insisted on staying down there to free those Pokemon in cages, it would've most likely be different.">She goes to sit on a chair to rest a bit, she's still very tired."Yeah. What worries me is... After.">And for good reasons.>She takes the time to rest her eyes a bit.>>81894298>>81894417"We'll see about that. We'll see. Now, who's turn is it?

>>81894568I’ll be real here, the answers to this line of inquiry will upset Taner, so for his sake I’ll relent. But no I’m not some weird fucked up hybridI hope you crack your back wrongThe worst ones are the Gogoat. Oh fuck me do they fuck really fucking loud. Horrible, horrible noises>>81894734They aren’t lies and it’s well documented by this point. PervertWait she’s a trainer too? Huh. Well good for her, I’m proud>>81895557Technically you aren’t actuallyYou are the least alive person here you Eldritch Horror >>81894707“I shant judge thee for decisions made in the heat of battle. It’s hard to determine if thine heart or brain is leading the call”>The Frillish lets you rest your eyes. He can tell you’re both very tired and very sore>He then looks to Blaze, checking in on her with a visual scan. How is the flamin kickin chicken holding up?>In his mind he’s come up with a possible solution to Kongs dilemma>But…>He’s hesitant>It might not even be a good idea to consider at all“As for thee, art thou well? Thou seems mostly unharmed, but I wanted to check…”>He asks Blazy
>>81895883I'm not a pervert either! What "well documented" evidence?She's got the license at least, doubt she'd like being called one though.
>>81895883Ahh, now I'm morbidly curious, but yes that's probably for the best. I didn't actually think you were!Wha-, So rude! And after I reminded you to not miss your new favorite pastime... I hope you get a nice face full of pollen to irritate your sinuses!I'm glad we don't have any near where I live, I'd rather not have to listen to that at all. The one's by Hulbury are bad, but not -that- bad
>>81895883>For once, it was most likely the heart.>Blazy is pretty shaken too and stays silent.>She's not used to seeing this amount of death.>Blazy looks towards the Frillish.>Then back to where she was looking."...I'm fine."
>>81896167I refuse to pick my way through your nine billion balloon breast’s thunder thighs sweaty boulder butt and puffy nipple pics to prove a point to youThat’s also very in character. Regardless I consider it an improvement. You’ll have to keep practicing or she’s gonna catch up to you>>81896365All I’ll say on the matter is I am a predator, which should be obvious, and I like my food live. And whole. Figure out the restAnd I hope pollen clogs your riverbank so you enjoy swimming in Grass type gooYou don’t know the half of it. If they aren’t loudly fucking they’re screaming for sex. All day. Every day. The grass types upset me at this time of year>>81896403>She’s definitely a few steps away from fine mentally but her body is sound>Then he looks back to Phoxy. Has she passed out?>The Frillish is sympathetic“There’s something about the way Humans construct violence which makes it so alien isn’t it? When we eat each other or kill each other in the wild, it feels more… structured, yes? But with Humans it seems so escalated. I doth not know how else to ascribe it”>He offers the food the hospital gave him. A few sardines and a piece of fruit. “Here. It would just go through me anyway. Literally”
>>81895883uhby varying definitions of aliveI think therefore I exist, as it goes>>81896167I thiiiiiiiiink she is talking about uh, the cursing
>>81896841It was a curse! A curse!! I just didn't hide, that's all! It doesn't mean I'm perverted!Don't worry, I'm still doing gym runs, fighting trainers and training on my own time too.Makes me wonder who'd win if we had a battle.>>81896856It's unfair to use that against me! If anything it reflects on Kauket, not me!
>>81896841I think I gathered most of that after a while on here. Still don't know how you and Beryl do that without getting sick. Though Beryl's a ghost so, he works on cartoon physics...If that happens to the ocean, I would be thoroughly amazed and probably swear off swimming there until the summer, because I'm pretty sure that would be a toxic amount of pollen. And I hope the grass types aren't keeping you up too much, I know the older you get the more sleep you needThat sounds miserable to be in the general vicinity of. At least with the horrible climate change, spring will be short this year?>>81897008Its ok Dodo, I don't think you're a pervert...I just think you're e v i lAny word from your girlfriend at all?
(Final post for todays goys and birls. See ya later.)>>81896856I suppose if a Porygon counts then you count as well. Although I’m not convinced you’re as permanent >>81897008Actually it does. It means you’re a voyeur and also a streaker/flasherSo right now what’s your current count of badges? I wanna compare something Hasn’t she already beat you?>>81897251Well for one, stomach muscle exercises, and number two, biology. I, uh, have a big tummy and I’m tall. It holds a lotWant me to demonstrate? He he…You’re kidding right? Water types cum and piss and shit and puke constantly in the water. Why do you think it’s almost never clear? When you breathe water you breathe all that in. Have fun getting that out of your brainIt does actually contribute to algal blooms, which are a problem. We have a filter in our River set up which helps a little bit but sometimes you just gotta get your hands dirtyI guess but that’s also not a good thing
(man, i sure do hate the spencer mansion.)
>>81897483(nighty night)Ok, the other two make sense, but stomach muscle exercises? How does that work. I'm assuming you aren't talking about lower abdominal and core exercises hereI'm not sure how comfortable I would be watching you swallow someone just to satisfy my idle curiosity unless you like, let them out or something...I mean, you aren't wrong. I agree its fairly gross. But a lot of it is sediment that gets knocked up, so not -all- the murkiness is that stuff. Luckily the waters near Hulbury are fairly clear, even more so the further from the port you go. That's something that bothered me when I first learned of it long ago, but I'm a water type too so I sort of got over it in my mindTrue. I don't remember any happening recently, though a few years ago a boat accidentally spilled a few boxes of fertilizer into the bay which ended up causing a pretty nasty bloom. Do you lot use copper sulfate for algae control during blooms? I think that's what they used for this oneOh its definitely a bad thing>>81897931(hi doggy. resident evil?)

You know that one game where you have to eat a jellybean but you have no idea if its the good jellybean or the vomit jellybean. Do you think it would be fun to do that with magic potions?>>81898135(I read your input from before)(All things considered Wha-et is the bigger offender so maybe the sneaking only happens to him)(Maybe your fate can be settled in a drinking game?)(I had planned a lust potion for Teleo, it can be a wager instead, loser drinks it)(we can roll for the winner)(lmk whatcha think)>>81898982(I also read your input)(since I wanna keep this in your standard I'll let you decide how badly the genderbender potion changes Wha-et)(Tempest really just wants to give him a taste of his own medicine, if all it does is give him a fatter ass that's fine)>>81898741(buh)>5-star treatment>not even a nibble?>She's already awake, mid-preening>She stops digging in her feathers as he turns on the lights>When he says his bit the bird gets that familiar look in her eyes"And what exactly would you have been able to do to stop me from just returning?">Her tone is confident, not really taking the idea of deportation serious>Ruffling her wings, a small amount of feathers fluttering around where she was sitting, she stands up"Also, may I stretch my wings or do you have more to say?">>81899911(For the most part aware its happening but taboo enough to dissuade being open about it)>>81900721Okay I maaaaay had some things to take care of but I'm back and ready to party. I even got some special ghost-made booze to make up for it heh
>>81900865(I stand corrected!)Hmm... sounds kinda like what Kauket did last Halloween. Took every curse, hex and spell she was commissioned and just threw them all in a... giant cauldron or something and tossed them out randomly at anyone she ran intoNo worries! Sounds like a plan, Teleo and Wha-et are ready to go in Galar, we just gotta transfer over. If you're ready, I'm ready!
>>81900865>Nibbles are reserved for those who contribute to the family >He quickly “pfft”s, dismissively“Me? Nothing. That’s all the other ranger’s job, once they get word of a wild Bombirdier that’s not ‘spposed to be here.”>he truly can’t wait for her to argue this redundant point again >He blinks“I mean, do your thing. I’m… gonna keep talking.”>weirdo“Yeah, anyway, we don’t have to worry about all that. You’re free to go. So to speak.”>he approaches the garage door opener“I’m mostly just supposed to re-release you far from the inner city, or hand you off to someone who’ll do it for me. Either way I’m sure you’ll just fly back here and get caught by the next person you irritate, so, up to you how you go about that. I don’t care too much. There is also, obviously, my offer. Technically more convenient to me because I wouldn’t have to drive 20 miles out to the rural edge of town. But yeah. Here’s the thing: If you wanna be with us, but also totally independent, I’m not gonna slave away at serving you meals. You’re on your own out there. If you’re dying, I’ll take you in and help. Otherwise, this team thing has to work both ways. You’re not gonna be my personal stray, who just hangs around for food when it’s convenient. Make your choice. Or take your time, I guess.”>Not like he’s in a rush
>>81897008sure, surebut who allowed it?>>81897483if anything, I'll be more permanent(see you)>>81898741yeah>>81900865sounds likeutterfuntimesjust skip the flu potions, those are not good timesespecially electric type flu
>>81900957(can't miss guys night)Well this is gonna be like a game, I just don't know what type of game yetLet's get going, I'll be right on top of you>Literally as she lays her head on his own, peeking down at him with a crooked grin"Yo. Ready to get wasted?">Sounds like Tempest already drank the necessary potion, his voice changing to something almost masculine, yet familiar and scratchy enough that he could still be mistaken as female by some who never heard her voice before>>81901130>She rolls her eyes at his response"I should had been clearer, I was asking to fly.">She does not actually stretch her wings>Regardless she waits til he's done talking before giving her input"You make it sound like I'm not going to be flying over your head most of the time. You said you are a trainer correct? I'v seen what trainers do. You'll be having me fight others, which means the fights are what earns me my food. Or is that wrong?">Standing taller she continues"Either way, if you are this adamant I can provide for myself. Flying is worth it.">With a head-tilt she asks"Also, why do you want me to be grounded so badly? Do you have any particular reason? Or do you desire my company that much? Can't really blame you if that's your reason.">The last part is said with a lilting tease, eagerly awaiting his response>>81901291You a gambling man?Is that really a potion and not just bottled diseases
>>81901291Yeah, well... so? Not hating the curse doesn't mean anything!>>81901577(True, true)So long as the potion effects aren't too extreme or permanent, I can see there being an audience. Just gotta figure out some rules for a potential game. I'm thinking it'd have rounds, and each round you do... something, and if you lose you gotta drink a potion.>Doro blinks up at the sudden ghost perched up on his head"Oh! Yo! As ready as I'll ever be!">And then, after a moment..."...Drank the potion already? Your voice reminds me of...">Doro blushes as the memory of last time Tempest took that potion comes to mind"...L-Last time.">As they talk, Doro makes his way to the nearest center to transfer to Galar
(Rolling for Psychic gym, 1-7 and Taner is able to do it)>>81894707>>81894417"I'll be fighting the gym tomorrow! I have a few notes from that battle on the way the gym leader battles, so let's see if we can put them into practice. We don't want to start with Repose first, but maybe having Star boost him... hmm...">Looks like he's already got his tactics mostly planned>Let's see how they worked>>81894543Oh.Well, I tend to go down every route in every region, and that's one of them in Kalos, and me and Doro were heading from Dendemille to Anistar so, we went down it!(I forgot that had already happened technically lol)>>81898741Well, I don't know what to say about that. You already know that's, uh, probably not great for you or good for getting a good nights sleep. Don't get diabetes?>>81894417>>81898982>>81884953>Looks like Taner and Doro has the same reservations on if it was allowed>Star adds"You could ask Daniel. If anyone were to know? It would be him.">Taner says"If you do, I want to be there to watch, maybe. At least having someone cheering you on should help, right? I'd, uh, never be able to do that myself, even slightly spicy stuff really gets me. But I did once cook something for ghosts that was so spicy it seemed like it almost melted the plate, people couldn't get too close to it if they weren't ghosts! Not sure I'd call it food, but the ghosts loved it! Anyway that might kill someone other than a ghost who eats it but I don't think a spicy chicken wing will, or at least, I've never heard of that happening!">Fea does at that"Et tu, Doro? After eeeeeeeverything I've done for you~?">Then to Wha-et"I don't want to be squirted with Arceus' 'holy water' ether, thank you very much! I wonder if he gets any action or if he can only do it with other legendary Pokemon, being so big? Between Arceus and Xerneas who do you think tops?">Taner nods at Doro, POINTEDLY ignoring Fea"See? Exactly!"
>>81901577“Oh. Well.”>this changes nothing to him>Oh yeah, and I guess he drank another Pokespeech potion this morning>whatever>Stare, stare“Eh.”>Still a ranger before a trainer>He doesn’t think he’ll ever understand flying type’s obsession with, flying>like it’s in the name but come on, find something better to do with your time>As far as he’s concerned it’s like if he spent all his free time running in circles like a lil kid >He’ll wait to the end to respond to, all of that “No, actually, I’m already starting to hate you.”>He’s a bit too comfortable with his sarcasm towards strangers>He scratches his head“I’m not a full time trainer. We’re not constantly battling, it’s not very predictable. The rest of my team actually lives with me, we’re-”>He can’t help but scrunch up his face a bit as he continues this very Taner-like sentence“-like a family, I guess.”>shudder“You’re definitely not gonna be battling enough for me to keep you alive as like a, meal-per-battle situation. So yeah. Do what you need to do. I’ve got no idea why you wanna be in the sky all the time, but I guess I just have to chalk that up to, bird brain. And I’ve gotta hope people don’t get scared by some… giant bird, circling everyone like a vulture.”>He opens the garage door, finally>Seems like he doesn’t need to drive her out to the countryside >So might as well let her go frolic>or whatever
>>81901908lmao thanksYeah uh, I dunno. I feel like my sleep isn’t affected. I think, no matter what, I stay up extremely late via pure conscious procrastination. I will probably pay for my sins one of these days. But I can put it off. Just a… liiiiittle bit longer.(The gym runs are going great lately huh)
>>81899911(Pretty much what >>81900865 said)(It also greatly depends on region and person. Kalos for example might be more accepting than Kanto, but it's generally agreed to be a "grey area" legally in universe and most trainers don't go around talking about it much, at least online. Taner probably is hoping that it's not going to be said online, for example, but is willing to tell someone he trusts enough via text, and he trusts fairly easily (maybe too much so))(But then there are some people who've been very open about it, working to change how it's seen and make it more accepted)(Generally Pokemon tend to be far more open to it than humans, as "egg groups" and all that mean they are often with different species anyway, but not always)>>81902067(This is not the image Taner posts lol)I, uh. I worry about you, sometimes.(Taner's losing streak continues unabated)
>>81901730I can make short doses, a hour or two.We can work out the details>Doro bringing up last time only widens that grin, easily becoming a smirk as his tendril reaches down to pet his cheek"I bet it does, we had done quite a lot~">His tone is teasing and quiet, only for the fox's ears>That tendril then boops him on the nose"But you'll have to wait til after boys night heh.">Teleport time>>81901908(rip)(also did I read something scrying?)(also hi)>>81902018>Dramatic bird pose as he states his undying hatred "So rude, after I've been so amiable.">Her beaky smirk says otherwise>But as he gives his Taner-infected sentence it fades into something somewhat thoughtful"A family? Hmm.">Still digesting his words she's silent thankfully>But then with a hum to herself she speaks up"Then how about a compromise. I'll spend half the day with you on the ground, the other half in the sky. Does that solve your little problem?">She glances at the open door, clearly interested but waiting for his response
>>81894707>>81901908(Tragic)"Good luck Taner! You got this!">Taner did not, in fact, "got this">Poor, poor Taner>>81902290That sounds about rightYeah!>Doro swallows as he feels his tendril petting his cheek>The memories get especially vivid when Tempest decides to teasingly whisper in his ear>But he's brought out of his lewd memories by that tendril booping the fox"Ah, um, r-right. Yeah. They're probably waiting for us!">Trying not to let his thoughts run wild on what exactly he could mean, Doro brings them to the center>And then they're off to Galar!>>81899410>>81898135>Soon, a Zoroark with a Mismagius perched on his head makes his way out of the nearest pokecenter
>>81902290>His expression is unchanged >basically just -_->He lets her sit in that>Then seemingly can’t help but laugh to himself, under his breath >shaking his head“I’m sorry, this is dumb. Look, bird, do whatever you want. I’m not gonna impose these arbitrary half-and-half compromises, we don’t need to get complicated about it. Do what makes you happy. AC shuts herself in her bedroom all day anyway, my Roselia just soaks sunlight in the front or back garden. The others are usually either in their pokeballs, or just lounging around. It’s no problem if you have… better things to do.”>doesn’t sound like he believes she does>But he has to say it“The house doors are locked, though. So if it’s night, and we’re asleep, you’ll be stuck out there. If you wanna make some twig-nest on my roof, go for it.”>Maybe we can pretend it’s not 50000 degrees out in this world >>81902211(thanks for notifying)yea me too. Like I said. A Pokemon with hypnosis. I need it.Too bad I forget to follow up on that, every time I bring it up. I feel like my memory gets deleted the moment I tab out of the thread. Sometimes I worry about my memory getting affected by my lack of sleep, but, I still haven’t lost or misplaced an item of mine in like 10 years, so I think I’m good.(Wooo)
>>81902597>She gives him the bird equivalent of a shrug with her wings"Alright, don't say I didn't try.">With a side-eye she adds"But don't be afraid to ask, the sky won't disappear anytime soon. Now is there anything else to discuss before I take flight?"
>>81902830>He cannot bring himself to feign any enthusiastic cheekiness, too early in the morning for him“No. Just don’t cause trouble.”>besides reminding her of that, there’s nothing else to do >he nudges his head towards the exit>He’s definitely not counting her as part of the team yet>But it’s, something interesting, at least>kinda>He’ll just relocate her like he was supposed to, if he decides this isn’t working >gonna have to feel it out
>>81901577not reallybut I take riskssince it was Beryl it, uh, might have been exactly thatthanks Beryltheryl>>81901730there's a difference between not hating it and expecting it
>>81902935>Nod"Easy enough. Goodbye, for now.">With her words she takes off easily, fairly easy to track as she flies off to do whatever it is birds do>Who knows what will become of this>Dark-types amirite>>81903047Isn't that basically gambling, but with lifeI can't even pretend to be surprised

Also fortune cookie, cuz I'm that much of a degenerate)>>81892033>On their way to receive Tempest and Doro wha-et shows Teleo a black marker"Look Teleo, I brought to DRAW on whoever sleeps first....”>He looks up at Teleo“BUT don’t you use it if I sleep first, okay¿”>No promise made to Teleo if he is the one to sleep first>>81901577>>81901730“Omg HAIII Tempest, OMG HAIII DORO¡”>The fairy goes and hugs each one of them“WELCOME to G*LAR!”>On their way to the bar the fairy asks“Soooo how do we MAKE sure you and tempest are boys huh¿ YOU COULD be fooling us or something¡”
>>81903303gotta take risks to get aheadcalculated risks, but still risks>>81903482thaaat sounds more like an urban myththe apricorn bark I mean>>81903488hmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmsneasler uhI have a faint feeling I had seen something about another one last yearbut, I forgot why, other that it was about something importantnope, Hisui is not an Alolan island, alaswell you know what happens with extinct pokemon, sometimes some organizations try to bring them back. some with more success that other>>81903488uhit's a long storynot really but it's complicated
>>81903836Well, at least you have some ideas to work with. I need to go figure out why this library keeps attacking me.
>>81903912still at the Castle, yeah?because it is full of ghostsand ghosts tend to be prankstersand that means you getting bonkedthat or it is a certain furret of a certain lawyer that goes around there sometimesthat furret is a menace, or so I've been told
>>81898450(well it IS backtracking the video game)>>81898741Not with how much you proclaim to consume sugar>>81898982Shiny rocks would be a good trade, I think they appreciate anything like that they typically can’t get underwater. I think it’s just the acoustics of the shell that makes it increase ambient sounds, so it sounds kind of like the ocean. Really now, what other mysteries would a small mon being the answer solve?They are not for nibbling! They sprout from there because we use those to glide! You use chalk on your fur? Wouldn’t that just rub off rather easily. Also, don’t eat chalk love that’s not good for youWell, can you see the air? Or an invisible mon? Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real! I’m really curious what movie you saw that had exploding magnets>>81900721Autocorrect is the bane of my existence. I’ve lowered your evilness from Archdemon to Kind of Evil, so there’s that, I hope you’re happy!>>81900865(sorry went to bed early because work)(that’s all is fine I feel)I feel like that could be a disaster waiting to happen>>81903482I’ve never heard that one before, but I suppose that’s a way to kick an addiction?>>81903488Don’t you even start!
>>81894417>>81898982>>81901908“Definitely worth looking into legal illusions rulings, because preventing someone from accessing their curatives seems rather powerful”>Teleo smirks at Doro and chuckles at Wha-et“No he won’t die, buuut he might feel like it. Last time I tried it was absolutely -terrible-“>That bodes well for the fox“What in the world did you put into that food to make it melt the plate, Taner? Acid? Lava?”>Definitely deadly to anyone not a ghost>Teleo smiles at Doro“Oh you know I don’t mean any of it, we’re friends! I just play along because I thought you were as well”>And gives Wha-et a bemused look“You’re not supposed to admit you’re doing that Wha-et. And don’t pout, everyone has their limits to teasing and you shouldn’t cross it, especially your friends”>And back to the ruse fox“The poor misunderstood villain…”>He giggles when Fea flinches, and openly laughs when Doro ‘shoots’ him with an illusion>Poor Fea getting ganged up on now“This is just cosmic karma catching up to you, lewdy Fea”>The legendary polycule“I think everyone would joke and say Xerneas, but let’s be honest, it’d be Arceus”“Swiss makes sense for sure. Maybe Gouda, I know sometimes have holes in them too”>He nods in agreement with Doro“Yes that’s what I figured, seems like it would be difficult to mask fully. Maybe you could fake a dynamax transformation instead? Could cause the enemy to falter for a moment and give an opportunity to strike!”>The helping hand idea for training higher move output is interesting“So basically using the amped state to learn how to more efficiently use their energy for harder hitting moves? That’s actually a rather novel idea, very smart!”>He looks over to Doro as the Eevee’s get up to train“You doing any training today?”
Up
>>81903047Kauket -did- warn me in advance, though...>>81903482Huh. Can't say I ever chewed on bark.Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.>>81905356Ha! I just live with the typos myself, people usually know what I meant. Kind of Evil is an improvement! It even has "kind" in the name, we're getting there!>>81898982>>81901908>>81905485"I won't die... hopefully.">He always has his contingency plan if he dies to spicy wings. What an embarrassing way to go>Teleo's description isn't helping though...>He snickers at Wha-et's complaint"Too late! A good strategy is a good strategy!">He's learning from the best!>Then, to the Inteleon"I kind of am, but I wonder if Wha-et knows that.">The last thing he wants is to deal with debt related to Wha-et in any way>On the topic of illusions, Doro nods to Teleo and Star"I'll look into it, it'd be a very nice strategy">Fea's feelings of betrayal do make Doro feel slightly bad"Don't worry Fea, you can shoot water with your ribbons now, try it out.">If he points his ribbons at anyone, they'll also get sprated with illusory water>Unless it's Doro, then he gets sprayed again for biting the proverbial hand that feeds him>He's tempted to splash him again for his Arceus and Xerneas conversation, but he's suffered enough>That and Teleo is playing along>Moon cheese"Well whichever it is, I'd be curious to try it">And then, dynamaxxing"I might be able to. they'd get confused when their moves don't seem to be working. Hmm.">As for the question of what he's doing today..."Nothing in particular, we'll just be doing some training battles with each other. Maybe some free-for-alls.">Simple, but effective enough if their performance is any indiciation
>>81903482/>Hmm. Think of it like holding a weight up. There’s a tension that builds and builds until you can’t hold onto it anymore. You get a feeling that something has to give, and when you finally let go you change. The actual process feels different depending on who you ask, for me it always felt like waking up from a long nap. Everything felt clearer. Probably due to my enhanced senses when I evolve. But no matter who you ask, it always feels right in the end, and you feel stronger and more capable/>So no, it doesn’t hurt. You’ll know when it’s your time. Why, are you expecting to evolve soon?/>I see. Wonder if it was a ranger operation or something/>Either case, definitely a lucky break for you all/>Beat you can probably do is just pay the good intention forward/>Some sort of performance enhancement? Thats terrible, I’m sorry/>I was mainly curious since it seems like half the users on the forum are or were wild pokemon, so I’m always curious as to how they learned how to use the internet/>Perhaps your father will be able to reach out if he escaped in the same way you did?/>Here’s hoping at least/>Do you have some sort of idea to keep your mother from storming out there while she’s recovering?/>Probably for the best to come up with something sooner rather than later to prevent any accidents
>>81899410“Well, you need the key to the car, that’s probably why the door isn’t opening for you”>This is a disaster waiting to happen if he manages to get behind the wheel“Perhaps go-karting would be more what you’re looking for, you’re allowed to go fast on those. Real cars are boring because you need to follow traffic laws or the humans put you in jail and fine you for lots of dolla”>Could be a fun outing, though he expects Wha-et to just ram into everyone the entire time“Well, not a dock anymore at that point, but I get what you’re going for. It is pretty comfy, in a sort of rustic way. Concrete never looks good, I understand why humans use it but it’s just so bland”>Teleo raises a brow at the fairy and grins“Once. It was a grand city of gold filled to the brim with water types, deep beneath the waves, down in the darkest abyss. But alas, when I tried to swim closer I found myself back on the surface! There must be some sort on enchantment barring entry to non-citizens”>Wha-et’s been taking up most of his recent memory as well, and he’s happy for it>Ice cream ordered. Teleo’s worried the tower might tip over but it holds fast>He smiles as the fairy enjoys the sweet treat, grabbing a spoon to have some himself and speaking between bites“Told you this place was good! I think that’s because taste is mostly smell? When you hold something in your mouth you aren’t really breathing on the aromas. I think that’s how it works at least”>And as they finish up the ice cream, Teleo gets a text“Oh! Looks like Doro and Tempest are here, I wasn’t expecting that today. Suppose we should go meet them at the center”>>81901730>>81902290>Doro will hear the familiar tapping of Teleo’s umbrella as the fairy and shiny Inteleon approach the two>Teleo will give them both a friendly wave“Hello Doro! Greetings Tempest, it’s good to meet you in person”
>>81905485>>81907046>>81901908“Brave last words Doro”>He will be remembered“You still have a LONG way to go before you try to TAKE on the MASTER himself¡”>Asking Wha-et to not pout makes him POUT even harder¡“I’m just making them STRONGER through SHEER force of will¡”“Why U asking Fea¿ Are you looking for the next shrine to LIFT your tail in¿”>Wha-et giggles“They might be a little big even for you~”>>81905356I wonder if the underwater creatures would appreciate Pokebubus that ought to command a high price in SHELLS. Except I can still hear it when I’m away from the ocean, so it must be something MAGICAL. Well why CORDS get tangled up all the time, obviously WHIMSICAL mons having some fun¡Hooo so like flying, It makes sense with your huuu LIGHT frame you could Glide¡ Then just use more chalk, chalk is INFINITE in some places¡ But Teleo, I NEED to taste the COLORS to really understand them, It lets me peer into the DEEPER insights of COLORS... and doesn’t taste that bad, kind of dry tho.I CAN see air, when it’s VERY cold and you breathe out you can see the air¡
>>81908110“Hooo, I just gotta Get inside one then¡ I have my ways of DOMINATING locks...”>Arceus take the wheel“That does sound fun and would be GOOD practice for the REAL thing¡ Laws ARE optional, and I haven’t OPTED into them, so I am EXCEPT from all their WEIRD punishments¡”>He much enjoys doing that in bumper cars.“IT IS a dock If you name it a dock¡ You have to open your MIND to the non-sea dock. They want concrete to STOMP nature on their path, dastardly hummies¡”>His face completely entranced and fascinated“See TELEO, they are there holding back on US, that’s why I must UNIFY the land and TAKE over by force¡ YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!>He screamed that into the sea, drawing some concerning looks“Huh but I can’t smell it”>he tries to but only manages to get ice cream on the tip of his nose, before opting to eat it the old fashion way“Yay we should go¡”>On their way to receive Tempest and Doro, Wha-et shows Teleo a black marker"Look Teleo, I brought it to DRAW on whoever sleeps first....”>He looks up at Teleo“BUT don’t you use it if I sleep first, okay¿”>No promise made to Teleo if he is the one to sleep first
Up you go
>>81909289>It takes Teleo a few seconds to understand what he meant“You can pick locks??”>This should not come as a surprise, Teleo“It looks like it could be! Hopefully they have something to accommodate my tail if we do decide to try it. I’m not even sure where I would put it and not have it get run over? I suppose I could wrap it around my waist or something”>Would probably start to hurt him after a while like that“Other laws you might get away with ignoring, but humans take road laws fairly seriously. I fear your typical whimsy might not work in that scenario”“Fair enough. Non-sea dock it is. You can make one after you take over Galar”>He isn’t wrong about the concrete part“I think the last time someone tried to take on the sea, Kyogre got fairly upset. I think the two of you would need to duke it out as the grand finale”>He snorts and shakes his fist at the sea as well. Curse you fishies!“I’m not entirely sure how it works with cold food. Science is weird sometimes”>Teleo smooches his nose to clean the ice cream>Upon seeing the marker as they walk to the center, Teleo grins“Oh how devilish. I promise not to use that to draw on you”>He reaches into his bag and pulls out a marker of his own“I brought one thinking you’d like the idea, but didn’t know if you had a marker of your own, so this one is mine. But don’t you use it non me if I fall asleep first!”>No promise made to not use it on Wha-et. Oh how the tables have turned
>>81905356Ok. I don’t think that’s the only factor that would turn me into a fairy. I qualify for that 1 single factor. That is all. It is already established that I’m an ice type anyway.
>>81901908>>81902466"Yeah well we'll see about that.">She definitely saw it.>And once he walks past her after losing..."Yeah you're definitely getting better at this. This being losing by the way.">Hippity hoppity, time to see the Pokemon Center Lady.>>81903488Nah, it ain't. Hard to explain it just like that over text.
>>81912137Wha-et tells me sugar is the source of fairy magic, so it seems like a major factor to me. Maybe you’re an ice/fairy type, like an Alolan Ninetails. Ooh, perhaps the reason you have so many car issues isn’t because of a curse, but your secret fairy powers going unchecked…
>>81903963Yeah, it’s just odd because we haven’t seen any ghosts so far
>>81905485>>81907046>>81909272>Taner tilts his head, one ear flopping down as the other perks up"Why do people like trying spicy food so much if it hurts? I understand why the ghosts do it, because they can't taste anything else easily, but, if you can taste normal things normally why would you do that? I've never gotten it.">Then"No, I think it was, uh, the sum of it's parts, more than any one specific thing. I had added some pure capsaicin crystals to the whole thing which, um, you need special gloves to work with and can burn the skin and apparently can act as a solvent in high enough quantities? The ghosts loved it, I couldn't even look at it without my eyes watering. Also I think when ghosts are around, things that are figurative sometimes become more literal than they ought to be, just because. Ghosts make things weird, and there were like, more than 100 of them at that party.""I've been a gooooood Sylveon, karma should be on my side! Nothing wrong with enjoying some jokes every once in a while, eh?">Then, Doro says that"Oh?">Teleo, Wha-et, and Freedom are the 3 targets! Can Doro keep up with 3 at once?"That is suuuuuuprisningly enjoyable, I see why you all do it even to completely innocent Sylveon's!">While Wha-et recovers he said"Maybe the Legendries invented Gigintamaxing to solve that problem, eh~?""Gouda!">Taner says, as if the though of a big moon ball of Gouda cheese is, on it's own, enough to excite him>Thankfully he just ate otherwise he'd be getting hungry"I've got to find some more recipes with gouda.">Then"Yup! Basically, once you know what it feels like to fire something at that higher level, it might be easier to do it without the power up, too! At this point in training, when we are doing it together and not battling someone else, we really have to think outside the box. Any, uh, as Star calls it, 'low hanging fruit' has been picked."
>>81902290(rip indeed)(Yes, but OOC we aren't quite ready for that to happen yet so holding off on having Taner ask. It may happen in the future though)(Hi :) )>>81902466>>81912591>Later, Taner walks out of the gym with a disappointed sigh>The team he fought was entirely different than the team Phoxy fought and the tactics the gym leader used were also entirely different>Perhaps the gym leader has some precognition as well as they seemed to be expecting his tactics and managed to power Star down after the Z-move before she could pass it along"Yes, Phoxy, I admit that could have gone better.">He's already walking to the Pokemon Center, not even slowing down>All this losing is starting to get legit frustrating to him, but he's trying not to show it"Do you plan to battle tomorrow, Doro? I'll watch, and then try again myself. I think we are just going to... maybe go all in on just, dealing as much damage as we can, without any major fancy tactics, next time. It's not Repose's specialty but I know he can do it.">>81902597It sounds like your brain is storing, uh, "object placement" and "todo list thoughts" in different places and only one of those places has a, uh, short term recall issue.I'm sure there are plenty of Pokemon offering a "I need to be hypnotized to a better diet" service. Never talked to anyone who's done it that I know of though...>>81903482>Oceana nods"I'll continue to visit the castle for a few hours every day for the next few weeks, feel free to let me know if you need anything else while Sharon is away."/>Of course!/>Uh, yes, I've actually heard that a lot... uh, but so far it's been okay! Star has kept me from, uh, making any really big mistakes, at least./>If you're talking about what I mentioned, well, pretty much everyone at the castle already knows so it felt like there wasn't much point in, um, dancing around it
>>81913412An Alolan Ninetales would be siiiick to have on my team. But no I am not aligned with those beliefsIf I were a fairy type I would not be attracting so many Dark types, you sillylittle bitch>>81913912Yeah that sounds about right. But the to-do list thing is mostly a matter of attention span, like, I just immediately stop thinking about it after I finish talking about it. Lack of real commitment, ya know Lots of untapped markets, huh? I wonder what stops Pokemon from taking advantage. Besides systemic favoritism towards humans and inability to read/write/communicate and lack of financial security and lack of travel without pokeballs Besides all that. Oh and speaking of things I keep forgetting about, guess what I basically, like uhhh have a Bombirdier now. No it was not on purpose.
>>81912137Congrats on your conversion to Fairy type!>>81912591>>81913912>It would be like the Psychic gym to plan ahead>Gotta be prepared for surprises"Next time, Taner. Next time...">He's in a bit of a funk, Doro knows his pain quite well>At his question, Doro nods"Yep! I've prepared a bit for Psychic gyms, they always have countermeasures ready for Dark types.">And I may as well roll for that now>Psychic is their specialty, 1-8 to win
>>81915221>>81913912"At this rate, I'll have to do just like Doro and train you myself. It was somewhat effective on him. Getting some great results.">She takes a glance at Flow."Sadly I can't cure blindness but y'know, you can't have everything!">One little taunt for her because it's funny.>And Phoxy's words are proven true when Doro wins the gym.>Ignoring the type advantage of course.
>>81913905>>81907046>>81909272"Perhaps a glass of milk on standby to prevent your untimely demise">Death by spicy wing seems like a recipe for an omnicidal ghost fox>Taner would make a good Eevee, he should ditch the human"I mean, there are different levels of heat. The masochistic sauces that could be self defense grade are completely over the top on purpose. No one actually eats those to enjoy it. Besides fire types. And ghosts. Peppers are good, and some heat can add to a dish! Just depends on your tolerance">Arceus above how much capsaicin did he add??"That certainly sounds like the dish to end all dishes. A dish to die for, literally! Do congregations of ghosts really cause reality to act like that? Interesting, I've never heard of that phenomenon">True, Wha-et has perfected the pout>Teleo only shakes his head and pulls Wha-et into a side hug, nuzzling him to make him feel better"Beset on both sides by mammals trying to pull at my heart strings, woe is me">He shrugs at the fox"I'm pretty sure he is. And I'll make sure he does. Because we like our friends and tease them without being an actual meanie">He raises a brow at the fairy>Speaking of fairies"Don't be coy Fea, or Freedom might throw your ball at you again. The universe knows your sins">Teleo tries to duck under the fake beam and narrows his eyes at Doro"Traitor!">Teleo snorts and shakes his head at the two fairies"Lets not desecrate sacred ground with lewdness">Teleo nods at excited Eevee Taner, Gouda is good"Makes sense, definitely worth a try. If it works, that's a good training shortcut to optimize output. Oh yes, you have to start thinking of esoteric ways to get stronger after a while, the ability to do so is what separates the pros from the masters">And to Doro"Only really viable in Galar for now, but worth thinking about if they're able to figure out these bands">Training battles? Sounds fun"Between your teams? Now that's something I'd love to watch!"
>>81915163I haven't seen too many, but they seem like very competent battlers! Speaking of team, congratulations on the new member? You don't seem particularly enthused by thatThey sense you are strong and know they'll get stronger as well if they join your team!Also wow, I hope your car breaks again>>81913809They could be invisible!
>>81909272>>81913905>>81917020"...Maaaaybe a gallon of milk to be safe.">Wha-et and Teleo are making him just a bit nervous>As for Taner's question... Doro nods along with Teleo"Usually spice doesn't hurt, or only a tiny bit. If it's too hot it overpowers the flavor and then that defeats the point of it in the first place if you ask me.">Teleo's faith in Wha-et is touching>Is it enough to purify his unclean heart? Doro watches curiously"Well, if you say so!">Doro snickers as Fea enjoys his newfound power"One Sylveon has a Water type on his side, I had to even out the playing field a bit, you know?">The fox smirks at Teleo"Two on one isn't fair, you know!">Though he's still avoiding listening in too much on their lewd legendary discussion>Doro nods, considering the strategy"Guess I could practice that a bit for if I get into any more battles in Galar">And then..."Yeah? Right now me and Julius have been training against each other, same for Flow and Willow. They may be dealing with type disadvantages but they lose less than you think!"
>>81907046and welcomed the curse with open armsnot that I am complaining or anything, but, gotta be honest with yourself>>81913809they are sneaky like that>>81913912(If it was about scrying on Epsylon, there may be a surprise)(If you get the hints...)
>>81905356>>81907046I think it was just a rumor among kids. Somebody made it up and our minds just placebo'd it into making us feel woozy>>81912591Well, if you're ever in Kalos you can come and show me
>>81913912/>Your pseudo-secret's safe with me/>But I am curious, how? What was crossing that bridge like? Who made the first move?>>81907101/>I was just curious />I don't feel much tension right now, unless a sore back counts, so it's probably not soon for me>Phew, he didn't seem suspicious at all/>He wouldn't have any way to know this number, but I'll keep an eye out in case he turns up somewhere else>>81917107>>81917794They probably are, the bastards
>>81917945Wow, that is amazing. I remember some silly schoolyard rumors, but that was not one of themSome of the human children did crush up these little chalky tablet candies and pretend to smoke them, they thought they looked so cool doing it. Arceus that was embarrassing>>81917991/>Haha, sore back its not! Like I said, you'll definitely know when its time. There's really no mistaking it/>Consider it part of our innate nature as pokemon/>Has your mother or father not really talked to you about evolution yet? How old are you?>Teleo's starting to think Dan might be fairly young/>Ah, yes that is true. Yes I was more so thinking about reaching out on a site like the forum since you managed to stumble onto it/>Hopefully fate is kind in that regard?/>You'll definitely have large support in finding him; you definitely reached out to the right crowd>Taner's definitely not putting this out of his mind until Chopin is found/>My father's a researcher for the League, maybe I could ask him to put out some kind of notice to keep an eye out for Chopin? If you are ok with that/>He might have connections that could help spread the search out in case your father isn't in Kalos>But it might also draw too much attention. Depends on if Dandelion thinks its worth the risk, Teleo figures/>And feel free to reach out if you ever need assistance since you have my number, travelling isn't much of an issue
>>81905356(i've been playing the hd remaster from days back too. i wonder if backtracking is better or worse than the og version...)
>>81915221You’re 10x closer than I am>>81917107maybe, idk, I don’t prioritize battle prowess tooo much It isn’t often that I find a new teammate on purpose. Weird stuff just happens. For reference, I caught my Glalie because he was a madman running around Lumoise City shooting ice everywhere. I was supposed to rehabilitate him and get him delivered back to Sinnoh where he came from, but I happened to be moving to Sinnoh at the time, so I said “don’t worry Ranger department, I’ll keep him in a pokeball and release him in Sinnoh myself!!” and then he got attached to us and I never released him whoopsSo yeah uh. Caught a Bombirdier who was tryna steal someone’s poké-dog. And I realized I low-key kinda want a Bombirdier on my team. And, to rerelease ‘em, I’d have to drive a half hour out to the rural part of town to do it outside the city. Which is tedious. So I settled on being this Bombirdier’s authority figure. Temporarily.wait no please
>>81917020>>81917645>>81909272>But hands tho!"That's true, but I mean, even the stuff that Fea likes, he's the guy who likes spicy stuff in the family, go figure, but anyway, even that stuff is way, way too spicy for me!">ALL the capsaicin"I think it's even more, um, likely to happen when all the ghosts are from magic covens like they were at the party, the rules of reality seem to, um, break down just a little bit around them. Sharon is really good at dealing with it, I'm, uh, less so.">Fea ought to take pouting notes"The universe does, eh? Lucky universe~">He nods at Doro"Exactly!">If the other water type on Taner's team was here though, Fea would ironically be having an even worse time"We'll just have to avoid getting any lewdness on the grooooound.""Yeah! And if we can chain it-- well, that'll be useful outside of League battles for some things too, I'm sure. Then if we also chain it with stat boosts too, as much as we can... we might be able to get something pretty interesting out of that!">11 Helping Hands into a Swift with Special Attack raised all the way? What would what even look like?>Maybe they'll find out today, if it even works at all>>81917794(Taner was/is considering scrying to find Chopin)(Though a scry on Epsylon isn't a bad idea, but he'd probably want to save that for that after they've started the "lure 512 into a trap" plan, because Star would want to get maximumly relevant info for that, if they get really lucky they may even see something that says what his plans are)(Speaking of which, when were they going to begin that plan? After Sam is out of Alola, I presume?)>>81903836Wasn't there a Pokemon like that who posted a bit a while back? Like, exactly that type of Pokemon, I think?
>>81917991/>Thanks, much appreciated!/>Well, uh, it's a long story, but the short version is, she's my starter and, uh, listened to me talk her ear off, then I taught her to read and write when she learned that was a thing and managed to let me know she wanted it, and then, uh, over the course of a year in which we learned more and more about each other, we just kept getting closer, leaning more about each other... but, the idea of a, um, relationship didn't enter my mind at first, until I started to learn that was even a thing that could happen. It feels very silly to think back on how ignorant I was about it now. I didn't know it at the time but Star was sort of slowly guiding me into that realization. It’d be easy to say Star loved me first, but I think it’s more accurate to say that she knew before I did that we both loved each other, even if I needed a bit more of a push to realize what she, and I, was feeling…/>I'm not good at making long stories that short it seems, ha>>81916247>>81915221"Next time. I'm sure we're learning a lot from each battle still, once we actually go over it I'm sure we'll learn a lot from this one, but... It's time to break this streak!”>Then to Phoxy"Actually, I do think he got stronger after that training...">Sounds like Taner wouldn't say no to it>Maybe he can get all the losing out before the next gym battle, it can't be as hard as Phoxy!>Meanwhile, after Doro wins"Congrats! Tomorrow, I'll get my own badge!">>81915221>In private, to Doro later that same day"So, uh, as you know, we were planning a walk with Teleo on Route 18 and I'm looking forward to it. But... do you think you might want to go to Couriway Town ahead of time with Phoxy yourself, before that? I hate asking you to miss the walk, but...">But there's no way Teleo will be happy if Phoxy is there for it...
>>81915163I guess so! I thought my attention span could be bad sometimes, but I feel like that's about the same as Lightspeed's. Not that there's anything wrong with that. At least not most of the time, when you're not trying to get anything important done.I think, uh, you may very well have answered your own question. Also when it comes to that particular market, there's probably some... Natural hesitance and distrust.Oh? So this is something like a, uh, Vergas situation then? On a scale of 1 to Vergas, how Vergas is it?
>>81913905>>81917020>>81917645>>81920703“All spice is BAD; why add that when you can make it SWEETER¡ no one has ever complained about SWEET¡”>Sweet tooth is stronger than spicy tooth>Wha-et lets himself me hugged and happily wags his tail, he is always WINNING in the end.“But only cuz DORO has been on my good side, I shall STOP the FUNNY BANTER!”>Successfully pacified the sylveon.>He flinches at the water but quickly realizes it is a FAKE from Doro“DORO changing sides like underwear, unbelievable TBHBHBH”>Fea raises a good point would Gigantamaxxing effect... there is only one mon here that could answer that>He looks to Teleo his head quizzically turned to the side“Would that even work¿, It’d need to be over in like A VERY short amount of time.”>>81911368“Nope¡ i collect KEYS from hummies, to CAPTURE and GET a KLEFKI to do my bidding¡ No door shall remain closed to me¡”>He looks at Teleo’s tail, it is indeed quite big“Can’t you like DROP it¿ I have lizards do that, they drop it and it GROWS back¡”>Tailess Teleo“Once again hummies ACT together to impede my FUN¡”“I’m already taking OVER G*LAR, one mon at a time~”>just a bazillion left to go“I am PRETTY sure I could fish him out of the ocean, just going to the MOON with a fishing rod and some proper bait¡”>He pictures it in his mind all in vivid details“Could make for a very tasty fish tbhbhb”>He looks at Teleo’s marker, apparently they both had the same idea>He then looks at Teleo, the gears in his brain turning going through what just happened.“Wait so you don’t use mine on me, and I don’t use yours on you...”>He is close to getting it, he even lifts his with the cap on and goes through the scenarios“Y’know You only have TWO arms, I have 4 ribbons you should give me your market to stooore it~”>He tries to discretely take it from Teleo
>>81917794C'mon, that's a bit of an exaggeration... but sure, I didn't hate it...>>81917945Hmm. I'm no Delphox so I think I'll pass on chewing on wood for now.>>81920065Fairy type? Me? I don't like candy that much!>>81916247>>81920720"Well it was a good training session, but it's not like we were doing nothing since then.">Flow narrows her eyes slightly, but says nothing. She's good at not letting this sort of thing rile her up>Doro's glad for the congratulations"Thanks! We did have an advantage, but still!">>81920720>The private talk has the Zoroark thinking about it for a minute>It's true, none of that would be pleasant for anyone involved..."...Yeah, I can do that. I understand, it's alright.">It's worth it to keep tensions low
>>81920726My attentions good as long as I’m not at uh… a wedding, ig. Or a church. Or school. Stuff like that. But yeah when it comes to this thread I’m kinda non-committal in general. Yeah I act like I’d ever actually pay a Pokemon to hypnotize me, no way I’m trusting a business-savvy mon like that.It’s like. A 5.8. I kinda gave the gist of it to Teleo here >>81920065, it was tryna steal some little girl’s dog. You know that one bread dog pokemon? She had one of those. Luckily her shrill, ear-piercing scream was loud enough to alert me. So I caught the bird, ended up using one of the pokespeech potions AC brought home from Sharon’s Halloween party 500 years ago, and I tried to instill a sense of “eating little girl’s dogs = bad” in her. The bird is real snide. But she’s supposedly gonna compromise and hover close to me if I don’t, like, kick her out of the city. As long as she’s in one of my pokeballs she’s not technically a ranger issue anymore, sooo yadayada another Vergas situation. I’m kinda trusting her not to fly away and get me into trouble. But she’s experienced the joys of human food and comforts now. So I might’ve gotten her hooked on accident. Remains to be seen.
>>81921465yes, however you are very fruity
>>81919072>Dan briefly reflects on his own "smoking candy" phase>He cringes, involuntarily>Perhaps some things are best left in a past life/>Mom doesn't like to talk about it, and she doesn't like talking about why she doesn't like talking about it either/>Dad... well I just never thought to ask. Back in the lab I stopped thinking it would ever happen/>I turned 18 a few months back>Yes this means Dan has been calling Taner "kid" despite being way younger/>The League lets Pokemon do research?>>81920720>That added up>Taner seemed like the kind of Rapidash that needed to be led to water and shown how to drink
>>81919725(I’m actually not sure, I would assume the same?)>>81920065Hm! Well, suppose there are worse ways to end up recruiting a new team member. Was Gloe also a case of ‘going all the way to Sinnoh is tedious’? Maybe this Bombirdier will come around just like he did!So they snatched up someone’s pokemon for presumably a meal? And you mentioned you work in the city, that seems rather brazen behavior for a wildling. Hopefully they aren’t too much trouble for you. Was this all when you were off duty or something?>>81921958>Embrace the cringe Dan/>Hmm. I wonder if it’s something to due her Alolan form?/>But that makes sense. And in all honesty that’s not the best place to evolve either. While I said it’s painless, or at least was for me and others I’ve asked on the topic, it can be physically exhausting if the body isn’t in good condition/>Oh! Much older than I was expecting. You’re not really that much younger than I am/>Uh well, not in the traditional sense/>But my father is human. Uh, unofficial adoption by my trainer’s family would best describe my situation/>I was a lab starter, I don’t really remember my biological parents
>>81917645>>81920703>>81921005“Two gallons. And an ice cream”>Hopefully it isn’t THAT bad…>Teleo nods in agreement with what Doro says“Depends on the sweet I suppose. I wouldn’t want chicken wings that taste like cotton candy, that would be too strange. But sweet and spicy mix well together if you moderate both!”>Wha-et would probably like cotton candy chicken>Fea’s a spicy guy who likes spicy food, go figure“I think maybe you just have a low tolerance for spicy things Taner, which is fine! Not everyone likes everything”>Ambient magics eroding reality in concentration, how novel“Sounds like Sharon has her work cut out for her making sure the castle doesn’t implode or some such”>Of course Teleo has faith in Wha-et!“Funny banter is ok when everyone knows it’s just funny banter. I think Doro was legitimately worried you applied a fairy debt to him”>He gives the fairy a big ol smooch on the head for relenting his assault on the fox, -mmwwah-!“The poor universe has seen too much…”>Teleo shakes his head at Doro“I think it was 3 on 1 just a moment ago! Allegiances mean nothing to you!”>Theres a joke there that Fea could absolutely make and Teleo bites his tongue for giving him that ammunition>And there Fea goes“Probably for the best if you don’t want a smite”>He barks a laugh at Wha-et“Maybe the legendaries can’t hold it for too long”“Could be a way to break new ground and discover a new move, or at least some sort of move variation!”>Teleo will watch the process with rapt attention when it starts“Well if it’s anything like the fairy gym match, I know your team is very competent, so honestly that comes as no surprise. I feel like knowing you’re going up against a bad matchup makes you pull out all the stops!”
>>81917945I live in Kalos. Snowbelle forest.>>81920720>>81921465"He sure did. Me and Blazy, we're not messing around when we train.">Doro might remember that day when he saw Phoxy and Blazy training.>It was really intense.>Almost as if they were beating each other up.>Even if Flow was getting riled up, she'd miss Phoxy anyway.
I finally saw a Drifloon do the thing The fact nobody reacted as if it was a fact of life for them in this town was more fuckedShe didnt even look at him while he screamedI need to fucking go back
>>81921005“A dutiful minion to open any door you desire, I’m surprised you haven’t done that yet, you mischievous fairy”>He thinks for a moment“So you plan on being a trainer for real this time is what I’m hearing”>Teleo shudders at the thought of dropping his tail“No, I don’t think we have the capability to do so, thankfully. Sounds like a rather uncomfortable ordeal, and I’m quite fond of my tail thank you very much! I think we lost that ability in exchange for our cloaking. What about your ribbons, do they grow back if you lose one?”>Its all a conspiracy, they are in your walls, Wha-et“They do what they must to prevent you from taking over the world overnight, they know fun and whimsy fuel your powers”>Speaking of taking over>Teleo smiles and bumps his side against the Sylveon’s“Keep your charm and cuteness and I’m sure you’ll sway support your way in no time!”>He glances up at the sky for a moment“That would be a long fishing pole. Maybe you need moon cheese to bait Kyogre in the first place, like some sort of secret puzzle to unlock the secret superboss. How would you breathe in space though?”>Fairy magic>Legendary fish would probably taste legendary>Teleo slowly nods along with Wha-et’s reasoning, trying his best not to chuckle>You can practically hear the gears turning in his head>It gets very difficult when the fairy starts to draw in the air“Well, I have my bag, that seems like the best place to store things! You should give me your marker so you don’t have to tire yourself out holding it all day, it would be improper of me as a mate to burden you so!”>He smirks as a ribbon slowly reaches for his marker. He keeps the marker juuuuust out of reach“Now what would happen if Tempest and Doro brought their own markers…”>Seems like the only way to get out unscathed is to not sleep at all>>81924720I hope you reported this to the rangers if that actually happened?
>>81921534Uh. A few people have called me that, I think it's just because I'm a Zoroark.>>81921005>>81920703>>81924128>Teleo's suggestion gets a nod"Yes.">Between Wha-et and Taner, Doro shrugs"Different tastes, I suppose!">And then..."That she does! But she's very good with ghosts.">Wha-et spared Doro, how very lucky for him!"Well, I'm glad I made your nice list.">The fox just snickers at Wha-et and Teleo's reaction to his betrayal"Like I said, agent of chaos, remember?">More nodding"Yes, after some... less than stellar Fairy gym attempts, I decided we should be prepared to fight our bad matchups as well as possible, you know?">>81924720I... feel like you got pranked. I know they do that, but you could poke one with a needle and I think they'd go down.
bumpo
>>81925421“I have a BAZILLION plans that slowly come to FRUITION all at the same time¡ NOPE I won’t it will be a STRICTLY a MINION I will just feed it KEYS to keep it around, I am not letting the RANGERS find out I have EXPANDED operations. It will ALL LOOK like a COINCIDENCE for them”>Stealth covert operations“Maybe you haven’t tried to.... and NOPE ribbons doesn’t grow back, but they can HEAL like paws¡ It’d be pretty dope if they could grow back, I could SNACK on a ribbon from time to time...”>He pokes the sensible tail, pulling it a little just to verify“HOOOO moon cheese, that’d be a good idea¡ I will slowly make my way to DEFEAT everymon and ASCEND¡”>He considers it for a second“Just BREATHING normally¡ The whole “need a spacesuits for space” is HUMMIE propaganda, they have never actually been to space¡”>He’d taste pretty good>He buries his market in his bowtie and covers it with a ribbon“Nope, in my bowite is HIDDEN and safer than your BAG¡ somemon could snatch it up or something while drinking. You are NEVER safe enough¡”>He still tries to get Teleo’s marker unsuccessful“Not an ISSUE; I’ll just offer to STORE their markers¡ or wait until they are asleep to take it¡”
>>81929102“Truly a mastermind of scheming and machinations. Ahh, so less a minion and more a little friend that helps you out from time to time, I’m sure the rangers will have no idea what’s truly going on behind the scenes. How many keys have you collected so far? I’m not quite sure what the threshold is to attract Klefki”>Do you have to jingle the keys like a rattle to attract them?“I feel like I’ve been in situations where a typical lizard would drop its tail, and I’ve never felt the instinct to do so. Interesting, seems like losing one would be quite the tragedy! But I know you take good care of your girls”>What would a ribbon even taste like?“I feel like eating your own ribbon would be unpleasant to say the least”>Teleo flinches in surprise when Wha-et pokes his tail, then hisses and scrunches his face in discomfort when he pulls on it“Ow, ow, Wha-et don’t pull on my tail, that hurts!”>Its the perfect place for a showdown, because you can have a victory meal after you win your battle>Teleo wonders which wine would pair best with the moon“Ok, but what if it’s actually real information? Are you just going to hold your breath the entire time you’re out there?”>Might be good practice for when Wha-et takes over Atlantis>A compelling argument“Perhaps you’re right. But if we have both markers in your bowtie, how will we know which one is which? Seems important given the binding vows placed on these instruments of villainy”>Oooh gotta get closer than that!“What if Doro just stores his in his mane, and Tempest stores hers in her robe? Seems like we all have safe places to store the markers, you’d have to make a good argument to get them to hand them over!”
>>81925936Yeah. That’s why.>>81924720If a child loses a 1v1 to a balloon it deserved the kidnapping>>81923929Gloe who? If that was a typo for Glalie, no. I was already going to Sinnoh. I just got lazy actually traveling to Snowpoint City where the Glalie came from, and in that time he ended up wanting to stay.This Bombirdier kept talking about needing to fly. Like, zero interest in being on the ground ever. Which is annoying. But I’m dealing with it for nowYeah, uuuusually we kick wild pokemon out of the city when they do stuff like that. Or just kinda, scare them off. I was on duty, so, I had my gear. Pretty much lasso’d her in like 30 seconds. AC also 1-shot her with Ice Shard. Was kinda overkill. She went from being half asleep to 1 hit KOing this bird in like a minute
>Another attempt at the psychic gym, 1-8 is a win, Taner is trying to brute force it with pure power now...>>81921005>>81924128>>81925936"I agree, but not everyone has!">Fea is a very weird Fairy type, without a sweet tooth and with a liking for spicy food..."Chicken wings that taste like cotton candy... you know, I'd at least try that!">Looks like Taner is a big sweet-tooth as well>Fea continues his... conversation, smirking"Do you speak for the universe now, eh? Arceus wouldn't have blessed me so much if he didn't want me to use those 'blessing's'~">3-on-1>Fea snorts"Too easy. I was about to say something else but I know better than to bite the hand that feeds me... unless the owner of the hand is into that~">What he cut off was "Too easy. Like Doro~""So what we've discovered from this conversation is that Legendary Pokemon may all be quick shots~">Taner want Freedom to throw a ball at Fea again, he is once again POINTEDLY ignoring this conversation>Star looks like she's very amused by it though, even if she's not joining in>Taner nods"Also, one of the advantage of training together, is that Doro and the others can take advantage of our training, and us theirs, if we want. For example, I wonder if the helping hand and power up chain might power up things like the illusion ability? I think that's why a a lot of trainers tend to travel in small groups!">>81921465>>81924357"I know you guys aren't!">Taner says to Phoxy>Then to Doro"I know better than anyone that with the gyms now, a type advantage isn't going to get you all the way there!">>81921465>Private talk"Thank you. I... thought about trying to ask Phoxy if she could just, do the route before us and meet us there, but...">He shudders"I'm not sure how well that would go over. This way, nobody has reason to get mad... maybe if Teleo decides he wants to do this again, next time I'll go first with Phoxy and you can walk a route with him and Wha-et!">>81921958>Indeed
>>81921516Any of the places where you are expected to sit still and pay attention are the very places you have the hardest time doing just that, it seems like? Which I think may be pretty common actually.Yeah, that's what I mean. The clients one would get in a business like that would all be pretty desperate cases, probably, ones who've tried everything else and are now willing to take risks most people aren't, which would make it a very stressful job.Oh. Wow. It's... pretty bold for even Pokemon who grew up in the wild to try to steal from a trainer. Even if you hadn't been there, the person probably would have called the rangers on them, and I suspect that would have actually ended up much worse for Bombirdier, Pokemon in the wild may not have rights but from what I understand killing a Pokemon in the city, even a "pet" one, is punished fairly aggressively... I'm glad you were able to prevent that from happening, for all parties.Honestly, getting her hooked on food and comforts probably is one of the better ways that can go! Though that's a lot of trust to give her right away, and that's coming from me of all people. But you've actually talked to her and stuff, so you'd know a lot better than me if she intends to, uh, attempt re-offending.>>81924720Like everyone else is saying, that's the point where you call the rangers. Even more so if you snapped a picture, which is probably hard to do in the moment but is a good idea whenever something you can't do anything about is happening.
>>81932027>>81924128>>81925936“Cotton chicken sounds TASTY, Chicken is ALWAYS tasty¡ I PREFER boneless, that way you get MORE chicken per PIECE¡”>Simple maths“But I better not CAUGHT any of you EVAHR LACKING again¡>He holds the power in his PAW, right now said paw is happily hugging Teleo as he gets smooched>It is a very amusing conversation“I feel that saying that makes you way more worth of a smitting FEA, Or some other GODLY CURSE¡ I wouldn’t go to any shrines if I were you¡”>>81930110“IT will all JUST be a very lucky COINCIDENCE¡ I have around huuuuu A TON of keys under my bed, a sizeable pile of them, been taking them from here and there¡ I am HALF hopping they unite and materialize in a KLEFKI, or something similar....”>Or make a path of keys that lead to a trap, the possibilities are endless““I sometimes have to keep them in LINE tho¡ that’s why I NIBBLE on them from time to time¡ Keeping them in LINE.”>He quickly lowers his ears apologetically“Sorry, just huuu MAKING sure”>He is very confident in his abilities“I can hold my breath for a long time here LOOOK¡”>He swallows a bunch of air, puffing his cheeks even more and starts to hold it in. He doesn’t lasts very long, after some shacking and light blue coloration he let’s it out.“**COUGH COUGH** How long was that¿”“You are right, except it is NOT villainy if it’s done by a pure fairy¡ Unfortunately you don’t hold such MAGIC power, I’m protecting your GOOD name from temptation.¡”>It’s so close he even jumps a little trying to get it, it looks like Teleo keeping a price from a dog“I’ll just need to get them DRUNK first and use my charms, SIMPLE and effective strategy¡”
>>81932027>Finally he wins.>It's almost as if they gave him a baby team for his 2nd fight."Ah there you go, see, that wasn't so hard after all wasn't it? You and your pretentious strategies blah blah blah just beat the SHIT out of it already!">Taner could ask her.>There is a curious yet interesting reason why she wouldn't mind.>One that Taner doesn't know about.>Spoilers.
>>81931395Human technology and autocorrect continue to be the bane of my existence. Yes, I meant Glalie. So not so much Sinnoh is too tedious, but Snowpoint City is too tedious. Well at least it seemed to work out in the end?I mean, I would expect a flying type bird pokemon to want to fly. That -is- sort of their thing. I'm assuming you are not just keeping her cooped up indoors all of the time, so is she being particularly difficult about being reasonable, or some other issue?I figure that would be the case. I wonder if something chased them out from the wild in the first place and that's why they were in the city? Unless she thought going after trainer pokemon would be an easy meal or not have major repercussions. Well lucky that you were near by when it happened, I'm sure the trainer was grateful. Also, fairly impressive, maybe AC was just biding her time for some action and was already ready to go
>>81933350>>81932027>>81925936>Teleo shakes his head at Wha-et and Taner"I feel like this is an unholy matrimony of flavors, maybe Doro can illusion up some cotton candy wings for you both next time">And thus Doro's entry into the fairy book of grudges has been absolved. Hopefully>He gives Wha-et extra pets and smooches just to make sure>Teleo only gives Doro the stink eye"You can't go woe is me then chaos mode the next moment! Cheater!">He will remember this"I speak for common sense, and that common sense is 'Fea is thinking something lewd and is about to yap his gob about something sexual', and unfortunately for the universe, it is present for all such examples">He lifts his hand palm-up at the Sylveon in a 'exactly that' gesture"I agree with Wha-et, best avoid a shrine before Arceus takes away those 'blessings'!">He snorts"Too much power for them to hold it~""I wonder what that would look like. What's the largest illusion you can create, Doro?">>81933350"Maybe you need some tastier looking keys. Or sparklier keys. Do Klefki have key preferences? I assume they do, maybe you just need the right one and a Klefki will spontaneously appear">Teleo subconsciously checks to make sure he still has his key"Oh I understand keeping the girls in line, they ought to know who is in charge. But I feel like if nibbling is punishment, eating is capital punishment...">Teleo rubs the base of his tail as the aching slowly goes away"Its alright, just not a pleasant feeling with my injury">Teleo watches the Sylveon hold his breath with a modicum of worry, hopefully he doesn't pass out"Oh! Very impressive!">He looks at his watch"That was a good minute and a half I'd say! Keep up the training and you'll be able to tackle any environment!""Hmmm, I don't know, I think this may be a fey trick and you just want to disarm me">He holds up high above his head"I'll give you the marker if you promise not to use -any- marker on me, and I will do the same for you"
fucking balloons stealing mah kidz
>>81931395It definitely is. I already get called a twink just because we're skinny. It's slander!>>81933350>>81932027>>81935754>Doro grimaces at the thought of cotton candy chicken"You all can have all the cotton chicken wings you want">His math is impeccable"I'd have to taste that to know how to do it, nooo thank you.">Crisis averted!"You can never catch me!">Doro just smiles at Teleo"That's exactly what I do! Wouldn't be very chaotic otherwise, would it?">Teleo will remember that>As for Fea...>Doro narrows his eyes suspiciously at him"Bite the hand that feeds you? What do you mean?">It would've been super effective against him, but he'd also lose his water ribbon privileges>Equivelent exchange>Taner's suggestion has Doro curious"I wonder if that'd actually work...">Then, to the Inteleon"Well, pretty large. Especially if I'm not worried about how it moves or anything. I could probably make a gigantic sphere as far as I could see, though not for very long. Maybe a few seconds at that range.">And visual illusions are the easiest>>81932027>>81933524>Surprisingly, brute strength won>Doro supposes Psychic types don't usually expect that kind of strategy>He nods to Taner"Yep! But sometimes...">Flashbacks to his Fairy gym attempts>>81932027>Doro shrugs"Might've been worth a shot, but I get it, this way avoids confrontation">He nods"That's fair. We can do that."
>>81917991ghosts can be anywhereeven where you least expect them>>81920703hmmmmremind me again?>>81921465juuuuuust a bit?>>81924720hmmcall the rangers>>81931395just not this ranger
>>81920703(Also because of the plan of trying to de evolve Epsylon, I suppose)(Sam is in Alola and he will be inevitably involved in whatever happens next. Though in a limited manner)
>>81937802Uhuh>>81938631no one listen to Zapman >>81932063Yeah it’s pretty normal.I guess the Pokemon need to unionize or something idk well yeah but also like, idk, it’s not particularly high priority where we’re at to go on a wild goose chase for 1 bird of prey that did bird of prey things. Obviously we’ll follow up on a report but unless the bird is going on a psycho killing spree, it’s like, tier-1 issue. It also kinda depends on the size of the victim because it’s pretty typical for a bird to try and scoop up small things, but if it attacked a big thing, that’s a sign of like, over-aggression.Ehh yeah, I still can’t really say I trust her but she seemed like she’d listen to logic. And the logic was, higher chances of free food from me if she stays behaved. Right now I’m still considering sending her out of the city, because we’re not reaaaally there yet in terms of “new member of the party”. But it’s stable enough for now ig, I don’t anticipate any trouble >>81935200yeaaaaAnd yea no, she hasn’t even been in my house past the garage. It’s just, I see people standing around with their birds. In public. On the ground. Which she’s allergic to, apparently. She needs to spin in circles in the sky all day, doing nothing, for whatever reason. I asked if she had like, a Bombirdier flock. She said no, and apparently just flew to this point herself. So yea. Birds.Sometimes I forget that AC was basically the team leader for 8 consecutive gyms. So. Not too surprising I guess.
>>81939471Is she really that anxious to be up in the air? I mean, those pokemon are most likely trained. I would figure that a wild flying type would be most comfortable in the air. I surely mostly saw wild flying types perched up high or in the sky when we were on our Major Division run. Keeping a bird grounded all the time is like telling a water type they can't swim. I don't know, I won't tell you how to train, but it seems like there's some sort of middle ground you both can reachHmm, maybe something happened, maybe not. Based on what you've told Taner, doesn't seem like she's the talkative type to speak about such things in the first place?Ahh, very nice! Maybe she can help with Bombirdier's training? Just, I don't know, ease her into listening to you better?
>>81933350>>81935754>>81937802>Taner seems to be in complete agreement with Wha-et for once"Boneless is best, it's more chicken and having to worry about a bone is just annoying!">Fea gives a smug look"If they wanted to smiiiiiiiite me they wouldn't have built me like this, in mind and body~">Taner knew that the day Fea and Wha-et met would be a reckoning>Lightspeed chimes in"I -think- that someone -else- might -smite- you if you keep that -up-! Help me put -up- the -food-!">At this point, everyone has eaten and things are winding down into the next phase>Fea squirts Lightspeed, or tries, the Jolteon may be able to dodge the illusion!>To Doro Fea says"Noooooooothing from innocent 'ol meeeeee~">As for Doro's largest illusion"You should do a test before the Helping Hand chain and one after!">As it turns out, the Helping Hand chain doesn't work, BUT>Everyone using Helping Hand on one Pokemon at once does, the chain was a bit of a more silly way to do that anyway, but Taner was hoping the chain would 'go exponential' a word he clearly learned from talking to Star so much>>>81933524>>>81937802>Finally indeed"I mean, strategies normally work, but I wonder if they were reading our mind... hard to do anything about that though if we just go on the attack...">Phoxy might want to watch out, this sounds like Taner is thinking this is how you beat a psychic now>Ask her... about training?>He probably will, in fact!>>81938631Well, I'll have to ask Star! (AKA I need to look it up in the archives lol)>>81937802"It does, but it's a bit cowardly, I guess... Still, I'm brave enough in some aspects of my life I can be a coward in others, it balances out!">>81939257(Yes, both plans are to happen at pretty much the same time as currently planned)(Have they already started the rumors about Stiban's return, then?)
>>81939471They need to do something, for sure. They just need more rights in general. And there are way more Pokemon than humans, even now. Just, most of them are distracted trying to survive in the wild, which probably makes unionization a little harder.Ah. I guess it also depends on the trainer, too. Like, I feel like if it was me and I wasn't a trainer and instead just had one Pokemon partner and that happened to them, I wouldn't rest until something was done about it, by myself or others. But if I just saw the Pokemon as a pet... well, I can't get into that mindset very easily so I don't know what I'd do then. Nothing? I feel like more than nothing. But less than, the above.I wish you the best of luck. I mean, after Vergas I suppose if anyone can handle, um, some harder to handle Pokemon, it'd be you, you have a good track record for it!
>>81923929"Absolutely not.""But this is the League! Our best chance of finding him—""Is me. Not some shadowy cabal of humans.""These guys aren't ZODIAC.""Who knows what they are? They could deem him a threat, an asset, or another lab rat and there's nothing we could do.""But—""Drop it.""Anri—""Drop. It.">It been a long time since she hit him with the motherly ultimatum/>Mom doesn't want to involve the League. She still doesn't trust humans, especially big organizations of them./>It wouldn't be a good idea now, we're still too weak to draw any amount of attention to ourselves./>She still treats me like a naive kid, won't let me make big decisions. Maybe if we could find a way to get her to trust you, we could convince her together?>Dan ruminated on Teleo's words a bit more>A Pokemon with human parents, like a mirrored version of his own>Minus a mountain of baggage/>What's your relationship with your parents like? It must be hard, being so different.Dan ruminated on Teleo's words even more, and discovered an insult he'd missed/>Hey wait a minute, how old did you think I was! I'm not some kid.
>>81940145She probably just doesn’t wanna stay indoors. I don’t know. Just annoys me. Probably a trust thing or something. I really don’t like having my team out of my sight/running off doing their own thing. Unless I know they’re actually well-adjusted to society, like AC. Though even with her I don’t like her being off on her own because I get paranoid about it, but that’s a different thing.Well she sure loved to snark at me, that’s pretty much all she did. So no I can’t really say I have a super good grasp on her yet. I need my team to get introduced, get them to meet her, and all that. She took off into the sky before meeting anyone else who lives with me. So whatever>>81940304I wonder if Pokemon would’ve invented the atomic bomb in a world where they were the dominant organized civilization. Would seem kinda redundant with their powers huh? Kinda makes you wonder how many things they would’ve never thought to invent purely bc wouldn’t need to, unlike us normie humans It doesn’t really matter what the person does at that point, it’s not like they were the victim of a hate crime or something. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time, near a big hungry bird. I TOLD the girl, very very sternly, that if she’s gonna walk around with her little dog out in a park like that, with NO parents in sight, that she needs to have the POKEBALL on hand with her so she can withdraw if necessary. That stuff is so avoidable, it shouldn’t be an issue in a normal scenario. Now yes I didn’t tell her it was all her fault, because I get it, public park, lotsa harmless birds pass by, but still. It’s a bread dog, for god’s sake. Even I’M tempted to get a bite of it. The Bombirdier can’t freeze me, so I’ve got that going for me. I really don’t feel built for this stuff sometimes. I seriously feel like you’d have this handled no problem, but whatever it is you do, I caaannot. I don’t have it in me. I just get exhausted.
>>81940463/>Ah, as unfortunate as that is to hear its also understandable given your past situations/>I expected that as well, but I figured I would present the option in any case. My intention wasn't to force your hand and make a decision now, the offer is always open/>Don't all mothers? Sounds like she wants to protect you best she can/>And she probably still sees you as a youngling to care for. Arceus knows mine does at times/>If you think that could work then I don't see why not; you know her best!/>Though, I'm not entirely sure how to go about that. What do you have in mind?/>Fairly normal? They don't and didn't treat me any different from my adoptive brother/>And being a lab starter, I was already socialized around humans at a very young age, so it wasn't strange to live with them/>Of course, raising a human and a pokemon, there's going to be some slight differences/>I guess example-wise, its not like they sent me off to school like they did Evan, but I was still allowed to tag along/>Mostly because they found out I was already sneaking out with him once I learned my cloaking ability as a wee Sobble/>Of course, learning my abilities is something that they can help with, just like any trainer situation, but its not the same as learning from another pokemon/>But its good. I have a healthy relationship with my human family. I don't think I would trade it for anything/>Haha! No, I didn't think you were a child. In your teens maybe, but not that young>>81941359And that's completely fair to feel that way too. Because it sounds like she isn't well-adjusted to human society at all, which is completely understandable on her part. The 'firm but fair' approach might do some good?I wish you good luck with that, I have a feeling she won't make it easy for you with a personality like that. Maybe the pokemon can ease her in if they ever get the chance to. Might have to force some sort of get-together so she has to stick around and socialize
