Thinking about trying those Animal games. I was really into the show when I was younger and never realized there were games until somewhat recently. I’ve heard there’s games based on both Unova and Hoenn so I guess I could start with those. Or maybe the one based on Kalos since i saw a newish trailer for a game that’s set there.

EVIL BOOP!

Excuse me?

[hoenn-trainer]

Just realized I’ve been on rotomblr for over a year and never made an intro post.

So hi! I’m Athene. I go by she/her and I was born in Unova. I moved to Hoenn with my sandshrew Bean around 12 years ago after Team Plasma froze over Opelucid City because screw that.

And I adopted(?) a wild numel I named Photon that has a partial shiny gene from the looks of it about a year ago after he followed me home and just refused to leave.

Mun time 😏

So this is Dino, mun of the blog. My main is @worldwidedino so expect follows from there. I also run the Pokemon reader insert/imagines blog @pokemagine. I also go by she/her.

I kinda forget about this blog from time to time. The year long silence as an example. This originally started as a self insert blog, but I decided to change it after I already made the blog so ehh.

There is blog lore I want to share eventually, but more so as it’s brought up. I am going to share it here for transparency though.

Blog lore spoilers:

Athene was actually a grunt for Team (Neo) Plasma before moving to Hoenn. Ghetsis’ treatment of his pokemon started to dissolution her a bit. But the nail that broke the camarupt’s back, so to say, was the freezing of Opelucid City. That’s when all the bad things that Plasma did hit her like a tanker. Some of the more dedicated/brainwashed members of Team Plasma still contact from her from time to time to get her to return to Unova, but she isn’t having any of it.

I’m back after like forever and I kinda want to talk about my old boss’s hydreigons for a bit. Here’s a warning for pokemon abuse on top because those things were not treated right.

Yeah he had two hydreigons, but he didn’t have them at the same time. Never knew what happened to the first one, I hope that thing went to a better home after he went to jail(yeah he was arrested at some point but that’s a whole different story), but I still have a lingering fear that something bad happened to it. After he came back, I never saw that first hydreigon again. Yeah…

Either way, both of them hated his guts. The second one knew frustration, and I’m not a professional or anything, but I swear it was full power. And I think it had a life orb too. If that didn’t sell it, they were constantly snapping at him. Well, they snapped at everyone really, but the most and hardest at him.

The both of them evolved early as well. The first one was a little fluffy and its wings were a bit small but other than that it seemed alright, at least from my perspective. The second one more obviously was evolved too early. It was super fluffy, the wings were way too small, and it didn’t have full control over its sub-heads. This might be hearsay, but I think he forced them to evolve that early. If not the first one, definitely the second one. I don’t know of any zweilous that would evolve that early into hydreigon unless it was forced to evolve somehow.

I swear, that first hydreigon was the reason he had all those scars. Like it finally snapped or something and attacked him. Why it would only attack one side of his body I don’t know, but I don’t blame it either way. I would have definitely attacked someone by then if I was them.

I’ve talked vaguely about his other Pokémon before, but I wanted to talk about those hydreigon specifically because they were by far treated the worst out of all of them. I never thought to report anything because I thought they were rescues at the time, for some reason. He always talked about how Pokemon should be treated as equals and all, it just never crossed my mind that he was the one who did all of that to them.

Does this mean I have to unpack the trauma and eventually come out to rotomblr to what my old job was before I moved to Hoenn? Because the less I have to think about it the better

Please choose the option that is most applicable to your life! If multiple options apply, feel free to elaborate in the tags!

*a picture of a Pokémon egg with a sandshrew sniffing it*

Guys, are sandshrew and numel in the same egg group or did Bean somehow get out of the house?

I usually keep her out of the ball if it isn’t necessary, but she’s good about not running off.

Thinking back, I’ve probably been somewhat traumatized by seeing Kyurem.

Yes, I’ve seen Kyurem. That thing’s creepy as shit. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.

I’ve also seen one of the other parts of the original dragon, but I don’t remember which one. Boss’ kid had it.

They’re saying “seek out union cave”. Union Cave’s in Johto. Looking it up, it’s what divides Johto’s route 32 and 33. And apparently the lower levels lead to the Ruins of Alph. Never been to Johto, but it’s what the internet says.

Looks like you’re in for a time, though. These unknown probably want you to go to the Ruins of Alph if they want you to go to Union Cave.

alright. i finally left the city with the pretty girls. i guess i'm diagnosed with gay now.

...

i should probably get a map, because i've been in these ruins for hours and haven't found a good place for clay and the others to plop. i've got these little guys following me around and they don't even speak? i think clay's trying to talk to them but it seems really irritated with them. clay seems to be trying now to no avail...

anyone have any idea what these things are?

[hoenn-trainer]

[a picture of a hydreigon. Its chest is a lot fluffier than it’s supposed to be. And it’s wings look too small to be able to carry its weight. One of the smaller puppet heads seem to be snapping at something off camera, and the main head looks like it’s angry about it.]

I still think about that second hydreigon sometimes. If I knew it existed, I could’ve saved it. It evolved too soon, and knowing the boss, he probably forced it to evolve somehow.

[hoenn-trainer]

As someone who lived in Unova during the team plasma incidents, please let this be true. I moved after they froze an entire city cause screw that.

I’m off rotomblr for a while and I come back to someone trying to date the LITERAL BOSS of Team Rocket. Please tell me this is the worst of it.

p.s. are sandshrew and numel in the same egg group? I think they are but I want to double check

[hoenn-trainer]

*sigh* what in Arceus’ name. Why are people like this.

Also Team Plasma has shadow pokemon. Dear Arc, save me

how's the numel doing?

-(@goldenrodgal)

Photon’s doing fine. I don’t know how to gender numel, so I still don’t know whether they’re a boy or girl. And looking at it in better lighting, the patch on their back is more on the blue-green side. So I think Photon is a partial shiny. From what I know, full shiny numel have a fully blue patch, but hers is more blue-green.
