エネコと私のいつもの日。

エネコ擬人化とOCの絡みです。

すり、と、私の身体にエネコの凛が自分の身体を押し付けてくる。

それは凛がまだ人化出来なかったころからの凛にとっての『愛情表現』で、私はもうそれに慣れっこになっていた。ただ、今の様子を端から見れば、「いい年した男が女性に自分の身体を擦りつけている」というようにしか見えない。ある意味、妖しい意味を持っているようにも受け取られてしまうだろう。

凛は、エネコロロにはなりたくないらしい。それは凛が初めて人化した時の第一声だった。私は���れを思い出す。

本人が「したくない」と言っているのだから、私とて無理強いはしないことにした。

「凛、今日の晩御飯どうする？」

「ん－……熱いものじゃなかったらなんでもいいよ」

「『なんでもいい』って言うのが一番困るんだけどね……」

「だってご主人のご飯みんなおいしいよ？だからどれか一つとか、決められないよ」

相変わらずすりすりと身体を押し付けてくる凛と会話を交わす。

言葉自体は嬉しいのだが、やっぱり『なんでもいい』という回答には困ってしまう。

「たまには凛が作ってよ」

「えー？」

「自分で食べたいの自分で作れるんだよ？好きなものも入れられるし。役得だよ役得」

「そうかな」

「そうだよ？」

私が応えると、あんなにも擦り寄っていた凛の身体は離れて、背中に感じていたぬくもりもなくなっていく。振り返れば、キッチンへと歩いていく凛の後ろ姿があった。

「……作ってくれるの？」

「うん。……トクベツ、だよ？」

凛は口許に人差し指を持っていき、ふふ、と含み笑いをした。

0300 Skitty // エネコ :: ALTERNATE EVOLUTION

Skitty + Sunstone >>> [ FIRE // FAIRY ]

[nekosvocabdex]

The first Pokémon to examine couldn't really be anything else except one of my favourites:

Skitty

Big disclaimer: I'm still learning myself. This blog is an attempt to learn something new for myself first. If anyone notices any kind of error in what's written here, even just a spelling typo, please let me know!

Learning is what we are all here for after all.

First, let's start with the Japanese name

エネコ　Eneko is a pun between 狗尾草　エノコログサ　Enokorogusa, which refers to the green foxtail, the type of plant that Skitty's tail looks like, and 猫 ねこ neko, cat.

Then let's look at some of the Pokedex entries:

動くものを 見つけると 夢中に なって 追いかけ回す 習性を 持つ ポケモン。

夢中(むちゅう) being absorbed in something

追いかけ回す(おいかけまわす) to chase something around

"When it sees something that moves, this Pokémon has the habit of getting immersed chasing it around"

You can attach 回す to the -masu stem of a verb to indicate that you are doing that action "all around, all over"

(Example: chasing around)

動くものを つい 追ってしまう。

"It ends up chasing moving things unintentionally"

Different dex entry, same general meaning but with a slightly different nuance. I find reading these kind of dex entries useful because they offer multiple ways of saying the same thing, and are good to reinforce the same vocabulary that appears in them and grammar rules.

ーてしまう signals that you are doing the action without meaning to

つい as an adverb similarly shows that you are doing the action unintentionally, subconsciously, and it's often paired with てしまう to emphasize it.

For its abilities, they are mostly named with English words anyway even in Japanese, except for Cute Charm (which was its only ability in Gen 3, if I remember correctly, since Normalize didn't exist)

Cute Charm is called メロメロボディ, which uses the "meromero" onomatopoeia to indicate being spellbound or madly in love.

Some interesting moves it can learn:

猫騙し (ねこだまし, Nekodamashi) Fakeout

The Fakeout move has a interesting bit of trivia in its Japanese name! It has the kanji for "cat" and "to deceive" in it, and it's actually a reference to a specific sumo move!

"Nekodamashi" refers to a sumo technique where one of the athletes slaps the air with both hands right at the beginning of the match near their opponents face to stun them. That's why it can only be used in the first turn in the Pokémon games!

And since it translates pretty much to "cat's deception", it's the reason why mostly kitty Pokémon other than Fighting types like Hariyama can use it.

真似っこ (まねっこ, Manekko) Copycat

It stands for "to imitate" and I can't help but think that the reason it can learn this move is because of another cat pun in "manekko", which conveniently also works in the english version. Sadly not in other languages.

Skitty's lost signature move:

猫の手　(ねこのて, Nekonote) Assist

Another cute move with its origin stemming from a Japanese idiom!

Assist is another move that can be learned almost exclusively by cat Pokemon, and it's effect was to randomly use a move known by another Pokémon in the party. It was unique to Skitty in Gen III and is what made it maybe my favourite Pokémon ever: watching this adorable pink kitty bust out Earthquakes and Flamethrowers that the rest of my team used was hilarious. Was it effective? Usually not, but it was hilarious.

I always had a Skitty on my team during most of my Gen III playthroughs and in ORAS.

The idiom is 猫の手も借りたい ("I want to borrow even a cat's paw), which is a way of saying "I'm desperate and need any help I can get ". Even a cat's.

Cute and fitting name for a move where a kitty asks the rest of his team for "help"!
