He's sweating because he's lost track of Hoopa again. Oh no.

[princepasio]

grinding his teeth and stomping his feet about red!!!!

[princepasio]

"Say, Lear, what do you envision me wearing one day in Pasio?"

He pauses when she asks it, his head tilted a little as he considers her. He even takes the time to walk around her, examining her from all angles, before he puts his hands on his hips.

"Bellis designs most of the synga suits, and we take input from the trainer as well....but I could imagine a cute dress to go with your Clefable partner. Or - or we could match it to another partner of yours, if you'd like. Maybe a spring yukata to match with your Chikorita?"

[princepasio]

Some questions I have out of curiosity--

What is the culture of Pasio like? How do you adapt Pokémas-style battling to a written setting? Where do you picture it being relative to other regions in your setting? Are there any Pasian Pokémon variants?

the culture of pasio heavily borrows from lear's home region (that i call the impresa region in my own mind, but its not a solid name) but also borrows from kalos (where bellis is from) and the greater kanjoh area in regards to battle policies and ideas. it's foremost a tournament space.

the battle system is something i've been working on in the background, but it's not too complicated - you have teams of three, either three pokemon to one trainer or three trainers with one partner each, and you battle against similar teams of three.

i think it's genuinely in the middle of the ocean somewhere LOL but i think it might be southwest of kalos, paldea and galar.

and no, there aren't any native pasio pokemon! the island is entirely manmade, so there's no naturally occurring pokemon there. however, for my region for lear............there are some regional variants there, like a variant of gallade that is steel/psychic and carries a shield.

what if you sent me asks about Pasio today

[princepasio]

“Lear, I presume? Thanks for the invite… I assume I’m not just here for battling, huh? People RARELY ask for me by name, and all.”

"Ah, Rika!"

He claps his hands together as he says her name, beaming a smile in his best attempt at coming off as both regal and friendly. (It's a little much, really.)

"Welcome to the island! I'm glad to see you arrived safely. You're someone we've been keeping an eye on for a little while - color me surprised that you had moved out of Paldea before we could call you along with your friends, but I'm glad we managed to get ahold of you."

He opens his hands as he turns to walk with her, intent on showing her the mansion and grounds.

"We study the subject of Syncing with Pokemon here, and you've proven yourself a capable trainer. So - yes, actually, a majority of your time here will be studying your battling techniques! Professor Bellis has a few pieces of gear to give to you, but otherwise you'll be free to explore and battle to your heart's content."

Pasio is still being overrun by ghosts - Hoopa seems to be having a blast, though.

[princepasio]

He's being bapped while a crisis is going on. What else is new on Pasio.

[princepasio]

Augh!!! Disaster!!! Terrible!!!

There's a blackout on the island and it's overrun by ghosts!!! It's not even Halloween!!!

dont...............ask lear to cook. just dont do it. he's bad. hes just bad at it.

however: pasio has a robust collection of people from all over the world, so lear has made sure to staff the island with people who can make almost anything from anywhere so no one has to go homesick without their favorite.

Lear's Lurantis is practicing poses on the beach today, looking eerily like she's trying to copy a certain priestess's dancing. Lear himself is training with Snubbull and Togepi - or trying to, because Togepi keeps running up to him and Snubbull is trying to sleep.

[princepasio]

planning stuff with hoopa aka theres gonna be some portal shenanigans soon

[princepasio]

His ears are burning. Hmmm.

[princepasio]

He's holding his Togepi up and looking very intently at it. The Togepi, for his efforts, is kicking his little feet with amusement.

"We have got to get stronger, but you're too small. How are we going to do anything when you're this tiny?"

The Togepi gives a squeaking response of nonsense. Well said.

[princepasio]

I'm not on him but thoughts on Lear @princepasio

“I’ve never seen anybody burn as badly as he does.

… okay, but, for real, he’s not that bad? I don’ know that much about him, even if I see ‘im all the time … like, I know he’s from far away and he runs Pasio, but, when we talk, it’s mostly just … adventuring? Having fun? Talking about Pokémon care. But that’s good in its own way, I think?”.

I think Togepi suits him.

… I hope that I can see him soon. I wanna ask about … participatin in the Pasio tournaments.”
