When the Dream ends - Chapter 1
Amity changed in the little bathroom that was attached to the room, before emerging and deadpanning at Luz giggling. “This isn’t funny.” “It’s a little funny!”
---
After the grudgby accident, Luz begins her recovery, Amity gets a bad case of the Gay Panic TM and everyone adjusts to the grueling reality of how badly accidents can actually go.
Read "In Your Dreams" first as Part 1, since this is Part 2!
I decided to cut the short story "In Your Dreams" where I originally intended to and finish it off there, and just put it into a series and put all following headcanons in here! This story is also rated mature because I will write flashbacks of the accident, so I'll eventually even change it to explicit. But yeah! Have fun reading!
Ao3 / FF.net

The next day, Amity and Luz only woke up late.
But Amity wouldn’t care. She only snuggled closer to the other girl and felt Luz nuzzling her nose into her hair, smiling. She didn’t know if humans usually kept friendships as physically close, but she didn’t mind as well. After all, she was just glad that she could snuggle with Luz that way. It felt so different than when the twins messed with her or took her into hugs.
Snuggling.
She had never done that yet, honestly. She had never snuggled like that. This was completely new for her, especially for a few hours. The longest she had touched someone was for a few minutes, maybe ten at most. She didn’t even think she had touched anyone for that long when she had been a baby witchling.
Luz slowly moved around a little, then she looked up to her friend and smiled when their eyes met.
“Hey, slept well?”
“Better than ever.”, Amity admitted before sitting up and stretching, earning a jealous gaze from Luz. She had been told not to move too much yet, so she had to stay put and wasn’t allowed to stretch. Amity gave her a sympathetic glance but Luz quickly brightened up again. And lifted her hand.
“Poke!”, she exclaimed and bopped Amity’s exposed tummy with her finger, causing the young witchling to immediately turn bright red again and topple backward and off the bed, yelping loudly before a loud thud sounded.
Luz winced and rolled over to look where Amity had fallen, meeting the witch’s tomato face and her arms frozen all over the place when she furrowed her eyebrows.
“… Sorry… I didn’t think you’d react so extremely. Are you okay?”
“Yep!”, Amity responded a little too loudly, laughing nervously, “I’m alright, everything is okay!”
Luz smiled as Amity got back up, but when the witchling’s gaze fell back on the clock she yelped again.
“My parents are going to kill me! I can’t even go to school late now, I’m in my pajamas!! What do I do?!”
Luz, still lying on the bed, groaned when she rolled back over and looked up to the panicking girl, grimacing.
“You could text Eda and ask her to sneak you into the manor?”
Amity switched from panic to planning and nodded, “Right, right. I can do that.”
“Or you could just skip.”, Luz grinned, then Amity looked up at her.
“But I never skip.”, the girl furrowed her eyebrows and summoned her scroll phone, huffing, “And Boscha is returning today, I wanna talk to her.”
“Okay, yeah, that’s valid.”, Luz began and tried to sit up but quickly, a short pain rippled through her back and she fell back into the sheets with a grimace, causing Amity to look up and make the scroll phone vanish with a poof.
“Luz! Are you okay? Eda told me not to let you get up!”, she quickly exclaimed and rushed to her friend’s side, putting a hand on Luz’s shoulder to keep her down, “Are you insane?! The healers said your spine was severely injured and you try to sit up?!”
Maybe her tone was a little too harsh, or the pain overwhelmed Luz, but Amity stopped immediately when tears appeared in the Latina’s eyes. She hesitated.
Oh no.
“Luz, I didn’t mean-…”, she started, but her friend shook her head, effectively cutting her off, “I-I’m sorry…”
The teenager took some time to breathe again, then she placed a soft hand on hers that Amity still kept on her shoulder, not wanting her to move again.
“I-It’s fine-… Just let me breathe for a moment…”, she finally winced and kept her eyes closed, her breath coming in pants, “D-Don’t be sorry. I’ll be okay.”
She slowly calmed down again, then she sighed. Amity knew immediately that school was off for her today. Luz was in pain and needed her, and she wouldn’t just go.
With one hand she summoned her scroll phone again and texted Boscha to let her know that Luz was awake and would be okay with her visiting, and Willow and Gus to invite them over for the afternoon. Eda was probably already on her way.
“Just keep it down for now, Luz. It’ll get better again. You just need some time.”
The girl slowly felt the pain subsiding and nodded once more, then Amity focused back on her phone to ask the twins to send her some clothes, and sure enough, their skills in Illusions were unparalleled. A few clothes were immediately delivered to her by an illusion of a delivery boy by Emira, who had snuck into the manor, grabbed some of her clothes, and ran to the Healer’s Coven unseen by her parents.
Amity changed in the little bathroom that was attached to the room, before emerging and deadpanning at Luz giggling.
“This isn’t funny.”
“It’s a little funny!”
The witchling rolled her eyes when she sat back down on the chair next to Luz’s bed, trying to slump so Luz wouldn’t be able to mock her but the girl gestured for her to straighten up again, “No, no, lemme see!”
She should’ve never trusted Ed and Em with getting her new clothes. Of course, they’d pick the most embarrassing stuff they could find. In this case, it was an old hoodie Ed had given her as a present for her 12th birthday. At least they had picked some normal orchid leggings.
Amity groaned when she straightened up again and pulled the hoodie so that Luz could read what was on there. Ed had gone all the way to make a print of a very badly drawn Amity holding a peace sign.
“Simply be witchling?!”, Luz giggled and Amity couldn’t deny the tiny blush she felt when she looked away and pursed her lips, “Whose idea was that? That is horrible!”
Groaning, she slumped again and rolled her eyes.
“Ed’s. He’s been bugging me to wear that hoodie for almost 3 years now.”, Luz still grinned, making Amity’s face go completely red, “Another word and I’ll leave right now!”
Luz didn’t need any words, though, making the girl squirm and sigh exasperatedly, crossing her arms.
“Stop. Don’t do that.”
“Don’t do what?”, Luz smirked at her, the grin still not having left her face. She couldn’t deny Luz being extra adorable right now.
“Don’t stare at my hoodie. You’re just being mean right now.”
Before Luz could say something soothing, though, Eda barged in and the playful banter was forgotten.
“Hey, kid! I’m glad you’re feeling better!”
King hurried after Eda and jumped on Luz’s bed, before curling in on Luz’s stomach.
“I didn’t worry about you at all.”, he stated and Luz laughed, ruffling his fur.
“Of course not, King.”
It wasn’t long until Willow and Gus came to visit as well, telling them that Boscha had looked a little tired in school but was okay otherwise. She just didn’t want to visit yet. They assured Luz, though, that Boscha was going to be fine and that she just didn’t want to rush things.
After all, she had taken it pretty bad that she had hurt Luz that way.
After Willow and Gus had left, Amity was just finishing up her homework that Willow and Gus had picked up from a classmate, and Eda and King packed their things up as well.
Luz’s eyes went wide at that, and she almost sat up again but remembered the pain before, so she stayed put.
“Eda, are you going back to the Owl House?”
Her mentor grimaced at that and shrugged, nodding.
“I wanna sleep in my nest, kid. I’ve been here for the last few days, I really need my house back now, especially since you’re awake and okay again.”
The human pouted at that and shook her head, “But Eda, I don’t wanna be alone tonight!”
The older witch deadpanned at that, but the two teenagers could see she was struggling to leave her apprentice alone.
“Kid, you’ll be fine for the night, I’m sure.”, Eda began, then a sinister look snuck into her eyes, “You could ask the Blight kid to stay.”
In an instant, Amity blushed hard again.
“I-I already stayed a night! My parents will kill me anyway, for skipping school! I shouldn’t, really.”
Luz’s puppy eyes weren’t enough to make her reconsider, her parents’ wrath was scarier than Luz was cute. In fact, she should call the twins right now to be picked up.
While Eda and Luz continued discussing, she summoned her scroll phone and called Edric’s phone. Shortly after, her brother picked up.
“Hi, Edric. Could you come to pick me up at the Healer’s Coven? It’s already after dark…”
Her brother lightly chuckled at that, then he seemed to whisper something with Emira, before answering.
“What do you mean, Mittens? You’re already home.”
“Hah hah, very funny.”, Amity rolled her eyes at her sibling’s antics, “Come pick me up now, mother and father will be furious enough that I skipped school today.”
Again, her brother’s voice seemed too innocent for her liking when he replied.
“But you went to school today, Mittens, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
This was getting on her nerves.
“Edric, I’m serious, you doofus. Hand the phone to Em.”
He did as she had instructed him to, but Emira sounded just like their brother, making Amity’s anger boil.
“Hey Mittens, I’d say a thank you would be fitting now, don’t you think?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. What did you two do?”, Emira and Edric chuckled again in the background and Amity growled.
“We only saved your nerd butt, little sister! Thank us tomorrow when you’re done flirting with Luz. Oh, and greet that cutie from us! We’re very glad she’s okay.”
Suddenly, she understood her siblings’ smugness. Oh no, that’d be expensive for her.
“… What do you want for the Illusion spell?”
Again, the twins laughed at each other, as if they had a sinister plan. In fact, they sounded exactly like Eda had looked.
“For you to become cool and bring home a girlfriend. And now be a dear and go to bed, like your Illusion just did.”
A click later, Amity almost felt like fainting from all the blood shooting into her face. These smug demons. She turned back to Eda and Luz who were still arguing about whether to leave King here or not when they noticed her having stopped calling. For some reason, Eda smirked.
“My siblings are little snakes and make me stay here.”
“How come?”, Luz asked, looking surprised. She was so sweet and naïve, Amity almost had to sigh.
“They created an Illusion of me so mother and father wouldn’t find out about me sneaking out last night. They kept it up the whole day and it’s in my bed right now.”
Eda chuckled.
“Your siblings are geniuses. I would’ve liked to be able to do that in school.”, she finally admitted and Amity only blushed in a deeper shade of red, while Luz lightened up.
“That means you can stay the whole night?”, she already smiled and Amity just couldn’t stay mad at her siblings. She knew they were just helping in their own, smug way.
“Yea, I suppose it means exactly that.”, she exchanged a small smile with Luz. This was going to be fine, right? She would be fine. She had done one night already! She could do a second!
Eda put all the stuff she had needed to stay here for an extended time in a bag and swung it on Owlbert who was ready in the air.
“Well then, you kids stay out of trouble. Don’t have any fun without me. And you-”, she glared at Luz, “Stay in bed.”
Both of them nodded and waited until Eda had finally wrestled King onto her staff and flown away, then Amity turned back to Luz who was already grinning in excitement.
“Azura Book Club?”, she asked and Amity had to smile at that.
“I forgot Book 5 here when I visited yesterday, we can read that!”
Luz pumped a fist in the air but immediately yelped and let it sink slowly again, causing Amity to drop her small bag that she had originally packed to be picked up, and rush to her side.
“Are you okay?”, she asked, her eyes filling with worry, “Luz, you gotta mind how you move, we want you to get better…”
The Latina nodded slowly, then she sighed and rubbed her shoulder, before testing her toes again. She could still feel them, it had just been a little scare.
“Yeah, I know… Still, I’d like to sit up.”
Amity deadpanned.
“Did you even listen to what I literally just said?”, she asked exasperatedly, spreading her arms in a gesture as if to ask why. Luz managed a strained smile.
“I’ve been on my back the entire time since I woke up… Amity, I just wanna sit for a moment, otherwise I’ll die here. Can you help me?”
Amity flinched at the phrasing and bit her lip. She didn’t know enough about humans. Did they really die when lying on their bed for too long?
“W-Would you-… Really die?”
Luz rolled her eyes at that but smiled, then she shook her head, not wanting to upset her.
“No, I wouldn’t actually die. It’s just an expression. But I’d still like to sit up. Can you prop up your frame here, like back home?”
Amity nodded and got behind the bed, then she grabbed the lever to unhinge the frame so she could prop it up, but hesitated to pull it.
“Are you sure that you can’t get more hurt through that? Like, 100%, absolutely positively sure?”
Luz nodded and looked at her upside down.
“I am otterly sure.”, then she grinned.
Amity shook her head at that, sighing, “You’re unbelievable. Okay, you stay on the mattress until I propped you up as far as it goes, and then you wait for me to help you sit, okay?”
Luz nodded again, this time staying silent at her words. She seemed to concentrate.
“As soon as you feel pain, let me know.”
With that, Amity pulled the lever to unhinge the bedframe and slowly propped it up before clicking it into place at the highest option, then she secured the lever again and walked to Luz’s side to see the girl leaning against the propped-up mattress with a smile.
“That’s already way better. And technically, I’ll do what Eda said, stay in bed.”
Then she slowly lifted her hands, asking Amity to come closer with grabby hands.
“And now help me up.”
The young witchling sighed, then she let her eyes wander over the human’s face. There were no signs of hidden pain. She didn’t seem to be in pain. Apparently, as far as moving her body carefully was concerned, she was okay. But Amity wasn’t too sure about Luz using her own muscles yet.
On the other hand, she had already rolled over without feeling pain.
“Okay. But we do this slowly and as soon as you feel bad, we stop, you got that?”, Luz still made the grabby hands and Amity sighed then, nodding.
She sat down by Luz’s side to carefully wrap an arm around her waist, careful to squish the mattress and not move Luz’s spine too much, before feeling Luz gingerly wrap her arm around her shoulders and them joining their free hands in front of them. It almost felt like when Luz and she had danced at Grom.
“Okay, slowly, on three. One… Two… Three.”
Amity softly pressed her up with her shoulder, taking care not to move or bend her spine too much and minding her back to stay straight, and she pulled with her hand in Luz’s.
Luz panted and sweat formed on her forehead, but she didn’t make a sound when she sat up and finally let their arms sink, still leaning heavily onto Amity but managing to keep her straight back by herself.
For a moment, Luz looked around, then she turned back to Amity, who only then noticed how close they were to each other. Spluttering, she blushed deeply, before coughing and blinking a little too fast.
“A-Are you in pain?”, she finally managed and Luz made a wavy hand. She didn’t know what that meant.
“A little. But it’s fine! That’s just how it feels like to sit after some time of lying in bed. Wow, I am so glad to be sitting right now, I really need that.”, Luz immediately brabbled and the witchling couldn’t help but smile at that.
“Are you sure you wanna stay like that?”
Luz began sweating. So, she was in more pain than she would’ve liked to admit. Amity frowned and brought her free hand up to Luz’s shoulder to get her attention as Luz rested her head on hers.
“Luz, I really think you should lie down.”, she began but the girl groaned and shook her head.
“Just another moment. I-… I’ve been so sick of not moving, I just wanna-…”, another groan. That was the end of the line for Amity.
“Hold on, I’m helping you back down.”
Luz whined at that but she wouldn’t let her talk her out of this. She had to lie back down since her body wasn’t ready for moving too much yet.
Her face was a little more ashen when she sank into the covers and Amity wanted to pull her arm out but Luz kept her close.
“Just-… Just for right now. Stay. Just for this moment.”, the human panted, the sweat slowly subsiding, leaving her skin cooling out.
“Luz-”
“… Just a moment.”, the girl interrupted her and began breathing slower again, much to Amity’s relief. The color slowly returned to her face and she leaned against her friend, completely exhausted, “I just want this moment.”
Amity sighed and let her head rest against her cheek, then she slowly brushed a moist strand of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.
In an instant, she froze up, while Luz hummed.
She had not just done that. After watching so many teen romances with Luz, the gesture had stuck with her, but she never thought it’d come to her so naturally. While sitting next to Luz, her arm trapped beneath the girl’s back, half lying, leaning against the mattress, holding her exhausted friend. This had been completely reflexive. Amity slowly pulled back when Luz frowned, huffing.
“Why’d you stop, I liked that-…”, she drawled, more asleep than she was awake by now. Amity, her face now a blaring red, merely gave her a neutral hum and then carefully pulled her arm out to lower the bed back down. By the time Luz was horizontal again, she had regained some of her consciousness to look at Amity.
“Can I get a goodnight kiss like that every night now?”, she asked, her eyes dazed and her words slurring. Amity wordlessly sat down on the chair, opened Azura Book 5, and cleared her throat to begin reading, still shocked from her action and desperately trying to ignore that ever happened but Luz made it clear that she was not interested in making her life easy, “Please?”
Amity concealed another splutter with a cough, then she nodded at her lap, not daring to look up. The book was right in front of her eyes. She could just start reading as she read to the kids, and everything would be forgotten, but once again when she breathed in, Luz picked that exact moment to make her life even harder.
“Thank you…”
Amity finally looked up to meet her gaze and her friend genuinely smiled. The young witchling shyly smiled back before starting to read Chapter 12.
“But the good witch Azura wouldn’t stand down. She had her ally Hecate by her side and she would fight for the good. ‘So be it!’, she called out, ‘If you refuse to leave, we wi-”
“‘If you refuse to leave, we will make you regret that decision!’, and Hecate nodded in agreement.”, Amity rolled her eyes softly, smiling. Luz could recite the book word by word.
“If you want to read?”
But as she had asked that question, Luz had already fallen asleep. Shaking her head, Amity leaned back, adjusted the book, and started anew.
“‘If you refuse to leave, we will make you regret that decision’, and Hecate nodded in agreement. They readied their staffs and-”

Survey #408
“tied to the rat race / a big bird in a small cage”
Who, whether a person or company, emails you the most? I really don't check my email enough to even know. If you were given an assignment to draw anything besides stick figures or just doodles, what would you draw? A meerkat of course, ha ha. Do you play the games on MySpace/Facebook? I never did. Well no, I did play "Dragons of Atlantis" when Facebook bought it or whatever, but now that it's a mobile game, I don't play anything on there. When was the last time you were sunburnt? Ha, actually now. It's from riding an hour to and an hour back from the TMS office every weekday; the sun coming in through the window got my arm. Who all do you live with? My mom and my two pets. Has a guy ever let you wear his jacket? Yeah. It was so comforting when Jason gave me his leather jacket to wear if I was cold; it was pretty big on me at that time and just really cozy. Thanks survey, now I feel like crying. :^) How many friends do you have of the opposite sex? Like, one. Do you have bird feeders hanging up outside? What about any hanging plants? No. Does your house have sliding glass doors? No. Was the last food item you ate part of a meal or a snack? A snack. What color is your hair brush? I don't use a brush, but a white comb. Would you rather it be sunny or rainy? I think I prefer sunny for the sake of helping keep my depression at bay, but sometimes I really do enjoy some nice steady rainfall at the window. Who’s the last person that you hugged, not family? I have no idea. What will your next piercing be? Probably getting my nostril re-pierced. How many people have you kissed, that you can HONESTLY say you loved? Two. Can you recall the last time you liked someone a lot? uhhhhhhhhhh now What’s scarier: spiders or worms? Worms gross me out, but a spider is more likely to actually scare me, but at the same time fascinate me. Do you play poker for real money? No. If you were pregnant, how long would you wait to tell the dad? I'd tell him immediately. Would you ever date out of your own race? I have in the past, and I would again.

No. Have you ever crawled through a window? Yes. Are you too forgiving? Yuuuup. Ever have a sleepover with the opposite sex? Well, we were dating. Have you ever gotten someone suspended? No. Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? No. Would you live with someone without marrying them? Yes; I believe you really probably should before getting married so you see if you "fit" as far as household habits and such go. Have you ever wanted to strip naked in front of someone? Yeah no. I'd feel way too awkward. What are you listening to? A John Wolfe video. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital? My mom. Did anyone watch you the last time you kissed someone? I mean possibly, it was a public place, and some people are definitely caught off-guard by seeing two girls kiss. Do either of your parents have any tattoos or piercings? No. Mom wants a tattoo, though, dedicated to all of us kids and her grandkids. Are you desperate for anyone’s approval, in particular? -_- Would you ever stalk a celebrity? Um, no???? You don't stalk ANYBODY. It's a violation of space, privacy, basic respect... Do you have any National Geographic magazines lying around? No. Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite gender? No. Do you use liquid foundation, mousse, or just powder? None. Have you ever picked out a song to listen to on a juke box? Maybe? I don't remember. Have you ever eaten 3 meals from 3 different fast food places in one day? Oh god, I hope not. I don't remember ever having done that. Have you ever ridden in a limo? No. I always wanted to as a kid. Have you ever tried to put a huge puzzle together? Yeah, I have. I used to like to do that with my mom especially. Ever wake up early on Saturdays to go garage sale shopping? Yes, actually. My family used to love to do that. Do you keep magazines by your toilet? No. Ya better just bring your phone. What did you last take a picture of with your camera? On my actual camera, a hydrangea bush. On the camera on my phone, I believe my cat. Are you proud of who you are? Not... really. If you were a waiter/waitress, would you make good tips? Nope. I'm too awkward and I would NEVER write the orders down quickly enough. I write so slow. What are the best kind of Girl Scout cookies? The chocolate and peanut butter ones. If you hit an animal while driving, would you stop to see if it was okay? Well I doubt it's okay, but I would absolutely stop to move it away from the road and sob my eyes out. I'd probably try to find some flowers to rest on it. What's your favorite kind of pasta? Spaghetti. Have you ever played computer solitaire for hours on end? I don't even know how to play solitaire. What's the dumbest thing you've heard of that supposedly causes cancer? Who the hell knows, everything does apparently. If you saw wet cement, would you place your handprint in it? No. Can you honestly tell the difference between DiGiorno and delivery pizza? Absolutely. Do you own a lava lamp? No, but I would looove one. What charity or cause would you donate $1,000 to if possible? Off the top of my head, the Trevor Project. I'd probably research before actually donating, though. What would you say is your greatest strength? I guess that I care a lot about people. What's one food that you find too disgusting to eat? Things like clams, es cargot, sashimi... just ew.

Ew, no. Would you ever dye your hair bubblegum pink? Yeah. What was the last thing to happen that you really weren't expecting? The woman whose wedding I shot TWO YEARS ago finally reaching out to me about buying some pictures. What does it mean when you start eating less? What does it mean when you start eating more? If I'm eating less, odds are I'm extremely serious about losing weight. If I'm eating more than usual, high odds are I'm depressed or bored. Or I'm on my period. What’s the strangest named pet you’ve ever had? Harry Potter, ha ha. He was a guinea pig. What are some defense mechanisms you find yourself using when in an argument with someone? I'm very likely to just metaphorically flee from it because I fear confrontation so much. Do you know if there is anyone who was once important to you that you will never talk to again, even though you could? If I have any say in it, I'm never talking to Colleen again. List the initials of every person you have ever kissed, from first kiss to most recent kiss. (Put “?”s in the place of initials you don’t know.) I'm not listing their last initial, but anyway: J, T, G, S. Does your face break out right before your period? Not "break out," no. I'll just get a pimple or two. What did you dream about last night? All I remember was that it focused on Jason and his late mother. I miss her so much. I hope so much that whatever exists beyond death, she found the peace she was so worthy of. Do you think the United States health care system needs reform? FUCK yes I do. Our health care system is a disgusting fucking nightmare. Who was the last person you cried over? Jason. My PTSD has been doing quite well, but I had an emotional episode recently nonetheless. Do you prefer ceiling fans or fans that stand up on the floor and you plug in? I use both, but I think my preference is ceiling ones. What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor because he’s hungry, and the only way to feed him was to sleep with a man for a little bit of money? Hypothetically, if I had a child, if I'm totally honest, I probably would. I would hate it, but I'm not letting my child starve to death if I can do something about it. Why do you think evolution is true/false? Because there is substantial evidence for it and imo is the most logical theory we've thought up. Some things about it seem kinda far-fetched, but I still have faith in it. I trust scientists and the evolution we see firsthand, such as caterpillars to cocoons, tadpoles to frogs, etc. Who came through for you at a time when you really, really needed it? Colleen. She let me live with her when I was technically homeless. What turned out better than you thought? Good question. What object did you used to, or do you still, keep hidden? My drawings. I've flipped my shit when Mom's found them in the past, even though she went on and on about how "amazing" they were. I don't draw anything "bad" at all, but still, I don't like people seeing my creativity. Who can’t you figure out? My damn self. What are you hoping for? The most recent thing would be hoping Shonda buys a lot, if not all, the wedding photos I took. I desperately want to use the money along with what I have left from Christmas to buy Venus' terrarium and proper supplies all by myself. What’s the best physical object that you kept from a previous relationship? Idk, there's a few things. What is the most socially unacceptable thing that you have no problem with? Maybe women not shaving. Like I couldn't care less. What have you done that you surprised yourself by doing? *shrug* What used to be a secret about you? Hm. Anything that used to be a secret probably still is one. What is the most stalky thing you’ve ever done? Just Facebook digging, and that's not something I've done a lot off. What did you wind up liking that you didn’t want anything to do with at first? The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is something sexual, so let's not go into that. Who do you owe your life that you can never pay back? Mom and Jason have both saved me from what would've been suicide attempts.

Pokemon Shield playthrough - Part 3
In this post, I explore the industrial city of Motostoke, then venture on to Route 3.

Once I enter the town, several new features open up to me. One of them is the ability to collect and create my own “league” card. There seems to be two types - there are player cards, which have your play stats and achievements; and there are NPC cards that have mini-profiles on that character.

I like how many different expressions you can choose from in your league card - they really show how more lively the player models are in this generation.


I also unlock the ability to send Pokemon on jobs. This seems like a good way to raise the endless boxed Pokemon that won’t be in my main party.


With that out of the way, I explore more of the city’s lower level. I like a lot of the design elements in Motostoke, like the different-sized water fountains so Pokemon can drink too.

I got excited when I saw this cafe. But unlike in a normal cafe, where you can buy a drink and relax a while, this one makes you battle. I did get a glimpse of that milky Pokemon that was hinted earlier. I still think it’s probably related to either Polteageist or Alcremie.

One thing I noticed, when I was battling Dynamax raids earlier, is that the moves I was rewarded with were referred to as “TR’s” instead of TM’s. I thought it might have been a typo, but actually they are two different types of items, with TR’s (technical records) being one-use-only like in the old Pokemon games. That makes more sense why they would be given out as a battle reward.

I stop at the clothes shop to buy a new sweater.

I also acquire this “earbuds” item, though I haven’t figured out how to use it yet.

As I approach the main stadium, I see some fans hanging around. Like this guy. There are hundreds of Pokemon he could have dressed up as, but he had to pick a Pokeball instead. Maybe one day he’ll wear a Master Ball costume?

Hop and I register for the Gym Challenge. You can see the two rivals from the trailers in the background.

Before heading to the hotel, I explore the city a bit more. I like the view when shot through this tunnel.

Also, this business uses an Octillery as their mascot.

In this sketchy part of town, I find a TM.

I really like the little hopscotch board drawn on the ground. It makes the city feel more lived-in.

Ah, vending machines at a train station. I have fond memories of these.

This is a pretty cool banner.

I keep fishing, but I only catch Magikarp and occasionally that bitey turtle. Maybe I need to upgrade my fishing pole to catch anything else?

I discovered a shop that sells Gym Challenge uniforms. Given that the list includes the Fighting and Rock uniforms, which are Gyms I don’t have in my version, I’m guessing these are uniforms from the “minor league” Gyms that you don’t actually battle. You can probably unlock the “major league” uniforms when you beat the related Gym.

Finally, at the hotel. There’s a cool statue here that’s obviously related to the legendary wolves. Maybe his sword and shield actually transformed into Pokemon?

My first brush with Team Yell. They don’t seem too tough, although this is another situation that begs the question: “Why don’t they have /police/ that can deal with thugs like these?”

Finally, I get to rest. It’s a nice-enough room, but no private bar?

The next day, I put on my new uniform and get ready to make my debut.

The Gym leaders also line up to welcome in the new “Gym Challenge” season. There’s only seven present - obviously there’s no Dark-type Gym leader, but I’m sure a suitable person will show up during the story, and probably be part of team Yell.


Yeah, I’d be a bit overwhelmed too.

After that brief moment in the spotlight, I’m ready to head out on my journey. Fortunately, I can now use the taxi service to quickly fly anywhere (that I’ve already been, that is ;) )

It’s kinda refreshing to be cheered on like this. In most Pokemon games, you are an anonymous nobody as far as the general public is concerned. Maybe I can develop a fan club of my own?

Finally, I step out onto Route 3. This area is more rocky as it leads toward the mines.

I catch a Gossifleur, and replace Simon the fox. Why? Because I think my bird will evolve into a Dark type, so Simon would be a duplicate type.

Speaking of my birb...


Along the route, I encounter a coal processing plant, which seems to have connections to Chairman Rose - like every other thing in Galar, apparently.
Is Pokemon even /trying/ to hide the fact that he’s a shifty guy? An insanely powerful person that everyone seems to praise? The only question is, /how/ evil will he turn out to be? Is he just a selfish businessman who wants to control all of Galar’s wealth, or are his power plants stealing the life force of Pokemon or something?



Here’s another nice surprise - the Escape Rope is a key item, so you never run out! Now if only it could be used inside buildings...

I catch myself a Roly Coly, and Janis leaves after only a brief stint in the party.

This bug thing this kid was using is really cool, but I wasn’t able to find one myself despite a thorough search along the route. :(

I’m getting really close to the end of Route 3, and to the Galar Mines. You know what that means?
Time to knock off and go do some other stuff for a bit!
First, I go to the salon to update my eyes. I thought about putting literal stars in them...

But this a bit more my style.

Then I updated my trainer card.

This NPC on Route 3 had a tent set up that I was allowed to visit, and all our Pokemon hung out. Her Vulpix can do a pretty mean somersault.

We made curry together...

And of course, she had to brag about her Pokemon.

I also went back to the Wild Area to catch a few more Pokemon there. Amazing how a simple change in weather or time of day can really affect the landscape.

I found this Stufful here which was glowing weirdly, and gave me Watts when defeated. I still think all this stuff about Watts and Dynamax energy has to do with Chairman Rose’s ambitions somehow.

Just for fun, I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to catch a Pokemon that the game said was “too high-leveled” for me. Apparently it won’t even let you try. I guess that’s to keep you from getting one lucky catch of a high-level Pokemon and then steamrolling through the game that way.

A few more pictures of what the Wild Area looks like in the sunlight.


By this point, there were new jobs available, so I took on a few more, and collected my Pokemon from the first job.


I catch a new Dynamax Pokemon...

Found a sneaky TM hiding in a log. What is this, a King’s Quest game?

Also, I went back and found a Roselia right where the other one was, and managed to catch it this time.

Also, my Roly Coly evolved into something much scarier.


Next time - I finally enter the mines, and hopefully find some more Gen 8 Pokemon.
