Saw this on twitter and immediately thought of them

[ninalove616]

Just two goobers

[ninalove616]

More babies

[ninalove616]

Just lil guys

[ninalove616]

Too much of a coincidence that a Meteorite decided to light up the Portuguese/Spanish sky while I was drawing this

The fact that I just randomly decided to watch Your name again for no reason 2 days ago just makes everything better

Part 4 of the Ruby team challenge!

And we're once again at it! Basically, we find the contest gal scouting people and, coincidentally, we're the chosen ones! Would've never predicted that oh my God!!!!

She briefly presents us to the contests and we begin our journey to get all the ribbons! I'll only be doing the normal rank right now cuz I'll try to focus on that once I have my full team but, overall it went quite well! I began with Zuzu and the Toughness contest, and won by a large margin thanks to the pokeblocks I received earlier, everyone else was pretty much the same with the exception of Nana who won by a hair cuz someone else pulled the special move instead of her, but she did a great job nonetheless!

After this first try-out we find May doing Maystuff and she asks us to have a battle with her, we don't really have much of a choice but, thankfully, she fully heals the party before the battle

Ruru goes against her Slugma and ends up defeating it thanks to Confusion, nice, Ruru! Then she comes up with Wailmer and I switch to Nana

She does a good amount of damage but ends up getting defeated and I decide to use Coco who is able to defeat her Wailmer. Next up is Grovyle so I change into Zuzu

Zuzu does a good amount of damage till it is defeated by Grovyle's absorb, which instantly heals it. I switch once again to Coco who puts Grovyle to sleep and ultimately defeats it (good job, Coco!)

As a bonus we had a surprise at the end of this battle:

Nana grew up! Now she's even cooler!

Our next objective is, apparently, for us to go shopping, where we find Wally and have a battle with him

Literally Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby... Not the most climatic battle... Anyways, we got a bike and it's already gym time (Couldn't add all the images of the battle but I'll try to explain what happened with his second Pokémon)

I put Zuzu in front of the part cuz ground type (prayed they didn't have levitate), it would've been 1 hit kill if not by Magnemite's sturdy, then it heals yada yada annoying potions only I can use them!!!!! Anyways, it faints.

Next up (the battle I couldn't add) the leader uses a Magneton, I use Ruru but Fairy vs steel, you know where this is going, right? Ruru faints after trying her best *sniff*, I throw Zuzu once more and you know the drill, mud bomb bye bye little guy. Next opponent is Voltorb

Again, same thing, Zuzu is just too OP and we win the badge.

That's all for now, I'll be posting later, see ya!

Part 3 of the Ruby team challenge!

•Last part ended with us getting in charge of recovering something cuz the police in this world are basically useless, we beat a random team Aqua grunt's ass and save a conveniently placed seagull that won't totally come in handy 5 minutes later (obviously).

The old guy is the owner of the conveniently placed seagull and a sailor so he takes us to Dewford town, totally just a coincidence of course of course. We get to Dewford time, train a bit and Gym battle yay. But before that, did y'know that the shoes of your character changes depending on where you stand inside a house? Neat little fact!

Battle time yay!

I lead with Ruru (yeah, not Rara anymore and I'll explain why in a minute), she lands a critical hit confusion in the first turn but Machop survives by a hair, Ruru just keeps hitting him until he's down.

I now switch to Coco, Makuhita keeps spamming sand attack but little does it know that disarming voice always hits, aha! So it was just a matter of time till it was down cuz he never actually attacked, and that's how we get our second badge! This was a quick fight to say the least.

Next step is to go meet Steven cuz we're also Hoenn's mailman or something, and here he is, the dream of every 14 year old girl in 2014! (That's when the game came out, right?)

After this guy's done talking about rocks and stones we have a new place to go: Slateport City, a place where I have some stuff to do regarding the name of my team and all, so here we go!

We arrive at the name rater and...

Yeah, Kiki ain't nameable.... And that's why I made a decision here, I wouldn't simply give up on my perfect run challenge so I decided to use the Japanese names instead of the translated names!

Rara is now Ruru, Kiki is now Coco, Mumu is now Zuzu and Nana is.... well, Nana! Feefee will become Mimi and Fofo Popo once we get'em.

Next up we need to go to the sea museum or something I don't recall its name, but

JOKES ON YOU I'M (kinda) RICH NOW, HAHA!

We arrive to tell something to some random guy regarding the parts that were stolen or something and then two Aqua grunts decide that it's a perfectly good time to beat a random 10 y.o.

Oh and Archie also arrives but I'm done with the pictures sooooo see you in part 4!

Part 2 of the Ruby team challenge!

•Let's begin from where we stopped, we got interrupted on our way by team aqua yada yada you know the drill. Finally received the gorgeous Exp. Share, I love this thing so much, thank you whoever invented it. Anyways, we be stealing some berries from unsuspecting flower shops, that's just how life works.

And we're in Rustboro city!

(Also a perfect OST)

And u know what that means??????? Route 116!!!! Therefore, time for Kiki huntin!

*Sniff*

Anyways, after a few hours of suffering, Kiki joins the team!

Kiki acquired!

Only Feefee and Fofo left

I decided to grind a bit and guess what? Mumu entered puberty! Let's congratulate him:

There are no thoughts behind those eyes

And now we can finally do our first battle

Had to put these pictures together thanks to Tumbler's limitations (the images are organized from top to bottom, left to right)

I lead with Rara, who did quite the damage landing a critical confusion and avoiding Geodude's rock throw, unfortunately the other confusion wasn't enough to destroy the Geodude and its rock throw is enough to faint Rara. I wanted to give Nana some protagonism given that she isn't good with rock types but Geodude got healed and... Nana wasn't enough to take it down. Next I go with Kiki, she suffers from the same problem as Nana except that she has sing so she could help the team (aka Mumu, being the only one alive), so I went with that and switched out, Geodude woke up but didn't do much damage cuz type advantages and all, it was a quick fight for Mumu, I didn't lead with him because of that.

Now Mumu's up against Nosepass, another quick fight, 2 water guns and he's down. And that's how we get the first badge! Kinda anticlimactic, I know, maybe Mumu was a little too strong, maybe his eyes weren't that thoughtless.

Of course I beat all of the kids on the way here, it's free money baby and I'm broke.

We get out of the gym and, of course, we're met with a robbery scene cuz... Why not, this 10/11/12 (dunno I don't feel like looking up) year old right here has to solve everything, am I right?

And once again, this ends in an anticlimactic way thanks to Tumblr's limitations sooooo see ya in part 3!

Starting a Pokespe challenge (May 1st 2024)

•So, basically, I started reading the Pokespe manga last month and last week I decided to give it a shot and attempt to challenge myself to something. As you might know (if you've read the manga yourself, course) they usually give us the natures and characteristics of the protagonists' Pokémon and, well, let's just say that I'll be searching for them as faithfully as possible to their manga canon! My target will be Ruby (mostly because Sapphire's torchic is a female and I don't like to suffer that much) on Pokémon Alpha Sapphire cuz I felt like playing it again after reading ORAS arc. I'm a shiny hunter so I kinda have the experience with trial and error when it comes to Pokémon RNG so it's not that new to me. So, let's begin with today's updates.

•I started this challenge on Friday (April 26th), and since then, I've been resetting for a Male Relaxed Mudkip that likes to relax. Let's just say that it was a damn pain, the resets took a while given that I had to skip all the dialogues from the professor every single time, yesterday I had the brilliant idea to change my 2DS' date to match that of Ruby's birthday because that's when he got Mumu and, today, I open my 2DS, do one reset and low and behold:

Mumu acquired!

This was definitely a moment to commemorate ngl. Anyways, I used a small strategy, I'm not sure if it helped or not but basically I instantly soft reseted any Mudkip that had 20Hp given that, from what I understood from Bulbapedia, the characteristic "likes to relax" derivatives from a Pokémon's highest IV being Hp and having a specific number. So yeah, Mumu's home!

•Next step was going Ralts hunting thanks to its ability Synchronize, which will help me a tons given that it makes finding a certain ability much easier. I'm still missing a Naive one for Kiki but the others are home.

•Next step was getting Rara which, honestly, could've taking a lot longer than what it did

Rara acquired!

(and I'm out of pokeballs and money)

Anyways, now the only thing left to do is to progress the game because I have no money left yay. Time to go visit my dad that doesn't care about his family I guess :D

And he immediately puts me on babysitting (jk) duty just to not connect with his son

Wally's music is kind of a banger ngl. I honestly dunno why they would put the catching tutorial here cuz there was plenty of time for you to decipher it by yourself.

Ur kinda late to the party, friend. Online service is no more!

After beating random children I finally got enough money to buy some pokeballs I decided to search for the last Ralts I needed, took me a while but finally he decided to pop up!

I still had a few pokeballs left and I was on the right route to find Nana, which I did quite easily, literally the first one I found after the previous mentioned Ralts

Nana acquired!

(and my wallet is still in a critical condition)

Only Feefee, Kiki and Fofo left!

Well, Tumblr doesn't allow me to post more pics so I guess I'll leave the rest for part two! I guess I'll call this "Ruby team challenge" kind of a self explanatory name.

Rewatched Princess Tutu with a friend the other day and I made this testing a new style

[ninalove616]

Doremi! I hope we can get a full fledged series!

[ninalove616]

I kinda watched Doremi last week sooooo
