“you sure that’s your size?” the man asks, watching as you drop your bags on the floor. you roll your eyes, all too familiar with his behavior. satoru smirks, shrugging his shoulders indifferently. “i ain’t sayin’ shit if your pants rip.”

“just like that, good fuckin’ girl.” satoru coos, unable to hide his grin. he has you on your back, your legs pinned over your head. it’s hard to breathe, but you try to hold out for a few more seconds. satoru subtly rubs his dick against your clothed pussy, getting off to the sight of your juicy cameltoe.

with one last thrust into your dripping cunt, he throws his head back in ecstasy. his blue eyes roll into the back of his head as he empties his heavy balls into your pussy, ribbons of white painting your walls. his glassy eyes bore into yours, a charming smirk playing on his lips. “you down for more?”

I’m away from home without full internet access so I can’t go into a full spiral about this latest buck outfit, but I have thoughts and I have parallels pinging around in my brain like the cards used to do at the end of a game of solitaire on the computer 😂

So here is a very brief meta that I will come back to when I am able! @bewitchedbewilderedbisexual I hope this ties in nicely with my post on buck in navy for you 😎

I’m still super fascinated by the choice of loose fit for Buck, because this outfit is ill fitting as well -the trousers especially, and not in an ‘intentional loose fit’ way - the jeans are too long by about an inch (which is why we see the odd bunch in at the ankle) and they are too loose around the hip and thigh (the section below the waist band). The jacket also doesn’t fit quite right - it’s a little too long in the sleeve and across the shoulder. It’s all very reminiscent of the fit we saw on buck in season 1 and that is super interesting to me considering the number of parallels we have been seeing between Abby and Tommy. This idea that Buck is searching for something - a way to fit in his own skin - something Buck was closest to doing in 2b-the end of s3 - when his clothes fit him the best. We saw the shrinking come into play in s4 and continue through s5 and 6 and then we saw a brief period of well fitting clothes post 7x04 - when he has realised he’s bi - only for them to start to fit poorly again from 7x05 onwards - suggesting that Buck is once more not fully comfortable in his skin and that we’re getting a parallel of his journey through s1 rather than s5/6.

We have buck in a white tee - and we all know what that means - danger ahead for Buck!

We also have the new white trainers - so the scenes this outfit is for will be about Buck and his journey - his new journey as he has new trainers (the old ones were connected to his bi journey - now he’s figured that out, we’re onto the next journey!)

Then we have a navy blue jacket - Buck tends to wear navy in connection with his relationships, most notibly his romantic relationships, but by no means exclusively (he wears navy shorts in connection with key moments in his relationship with Eddie - the fox house dinner in 5x11 and when Chris leaves in 7x10 most notably). All the moments he’s wearing navy blue connect into the breakdown of those relationships - we saw him wearing it a lot with Taylor, especially in scenes where their relationship was in not great places - when nails were being added to the coffin as it were- but we also see him wear navy when his relationship with Eddie falters, and with his parents,even his relationship with Bobby is connected to navy blue (law suit anyone!)

Then there are the khaki trousers - we just don’t see Buck in khaki very often - it’s just not a colour he wears - especially not in trouser form - he is nearly always in black, navy or grey trousers. So this is significant - he wore khaki trousers twice in season 1 - both scenes very much connected with Abby and Buck and Abby’s relationship. The first is imo the most significant - in 1x05 - when he helps Abby look for her mom - the first time they meet in person and Buck essentially commits to trying to date her - to pursuing a ‘grown up’ longer term relationship. That a parental issue is central to this is and the outfit most closely resembles this new one is what I’m most fascinated by. It connects the concept of this new outfit having something related to a parental issue and the fact Buck has th website trainers on means it’s a parental relationship of his not someone else’s that’s the centre of it - the scenes will be about Buck not someone else.

The second scene in s1 is from episode 7 - it’s when Buck and Abby have sex for the first time, but he wears a black tee rather than a white one and this ties it in with the next time we see him in khaki trousers in 2x06 - when he, Chim and Eddie are helping Maddie move into her new appartment - the ‘he’s cute’ ‘you should meet his kid’ scene.

The scene from 2x06 is interesting because it lays the foundation work for Chim and Maddie’s future relationship, at the same time as paralleling Chim and Eddie and Maddie and Buck. Maddie is still technically in a relationship at this point as she is still married to Doug, yet the foundation stones of madney are being laid. In the same vein - Buck is still technically in a relationship with Abby (well he believes he is!) and we see further foundation stones being laid for Buck and Eddie’s relationship. That the show is fairly loudly doing this in parallel is telling!

The only other time we’ve seen buck not wearing blue black or grey trousers is in his coma dream when we had the tan corduroy trousers. And while I think we might have a slight connection there - in that they play into the idea of some kind of internal struggle for buck - I don’t think it’s necessarily relevant here!

I know that the parallel with this outfit of Eddie’s hs already been floated

And it’s totally relevant in my opinion. Eddie setting off for Texas and setting up dealing with/confronting his daddy issues - whilst Eddie has no intention of addressing his issues in Texas he does end up dealing with at least a portion of them - specifically the ones around his dad. We see the outcome of that in season 6 when we are shown the improving relationship between them.

This feels especially relevant after the date night daddy issues scene between Buck and Tommy last season - one that very much felt like a set up for season 8 and buck addressing his parental relationships - something I think may well have been explored in season 7 if Annalise had been available for season 7 - as we would very likely have had Eddie with his queer arc and buck exploring his issues around abandonment and death (more in this in a minute).

There are actually two other Buck costumes which I think are far far more relevant when it comes to the meaning of this new outfit - this one from a flashback in Buck Begins

And this one from outside looking in

Both are white tee/hoodie with a navy jacket! The first is essentially Buck ‘breaking up’ with his parents and the second essentially marks the end of his relationship with Taylor (even if it’s a very long and drawn out end!) - the moment that his unhappiness (even if he’s burying it and not actually able to recognise that he’s unhappy in it) with the reltionship becomes truly apparent to us the audience. (The fact that LAFD bomber along with a hoodie is also worn in the scene when he goes to see Tommy is also key - it parallels the two scenes - placing Tommy in a sort of parallel with Lucy - as a disruptor of the status quo (in not even going to get into the fact that Eddie is key in both of these scenes - that while Lucy is a disruptor of BuckTaylor, she is much more a disruptor of Buck and Eddie!))

Both of these play into an overarching theme with Buck - especially in light of this outfit we’ve also seen for this season

Because this one also matches with an outfit from Buck begins - the one where he is planning to leave with Maddie but she hides and he ends up leaving without her. (I don’t have access to my stills from that episode at the moment but I’ll add it in later on when I do!) the greyish khaki parallelspeaks of Bucks issues around abandonment - the feeling of being abandoned by both his parents and Maddie (remember this is Bucks feelings in that moment - he is a flawed narrator and didn’t have all the facts- it is not the reality that Maddie abandoned him - she was protecting him and herself so we are not hiding her in any way) and him setting out on his adventure that ends up in L.A. and at the 118.

So this new outfit is very likely going to play into that concept - and the two new outfits taken together suggests to me that we are very likely going to see that aspect of Bucks journey explored this season - it’s an aspect of his character that lead to him clinging to first Abby and then Taylor - it’s no mistake that Taylor’s return to the show comes so soon after we see Buck begins - Bucks abandonment issues have been brought back into the spotlight and are raw when she reappears and becomes his girlfriend.

So I’m expecting to be seeing Buck doing a fair chunk of figuring himself out and dealing with his issues around abandonment in this season and in whatever both of these scenes end up looking like/ being about. This will very likely tie into his romantic relationship as much as his parental/familial ones and while I don’t think either outfit marks a BuckTommy break up, I very much expect them to play into that relationship failing - like the ones we saw leading to the ultimate destruction and end of Bucks relationship with Taylor (the dinner at the diaz house scene and then the Buck Lucy kiss scene) specifically.

I’m excited to see how this all plays out!

Based on @kirkaut ‘s post

I wrote a little unedited snippet for BuckTommy. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete it before Season 8, if I remember:

Buck’s mouth goes dry as he’s introduced to this mountain of a man who happens to be the same height as him.

(Insert Tommy description here)

“Hey, newbie, I’m Tommy Kinnard, your trainer,” the mountain speaks in a deep voice that could drop Batman’s panties.

His neutral facial expression makes him look even hotter.

Hotter? What?! No!

“Hey, I’m Evan Buckley. Most people call me ‘Buck’,” Buck replies and shakes Tommy’s hand. He’s entranced by the man’s blue eyes that he shakes for longer than he intended.

Tommy pulls his hand away with a slight smile. “Come on, let me show you around, Evan, and introduce you to everyone. Oh, do you mind if I call you ‘Evan’?”

You can call me whatever you want, Buck thinks. “That’s fine.”

With every step Tommy takes, Buck can see every muscle on the man’s body clearly defined. He makes a mental note to ask him about his workout routine. Buck wouldn’t mind adding more muscle to his own physique.

In more ways than one, his subconscious whispers softly softly that he barely hears it.

His eyes glance down by chance, and he definitely needs to know Tommy’s workout routine because his ass looks better than the famous marble sculptures in Italy.

The low timber of Tommy’s voice washes over Buck like something he can’t describe. He likes listening to the man talk and is glad that he can multitask so he’s not missing out on the information Tommy gives him.

He’s thankful for familiar sight of a red fire truck, and Tommy goes into explaining all its details and features.

“These can weigh up to 35 tons,” Tommy continues as if reciting a speech from memory. He looks so focused and serious, and Buck can’t help but tease him a bit.

“You look like you could bench that easily,” Buck says while his eyes sweep over the man’s large frame.

Tommy pauses for a moment and raises an eyebrow before continuing to list everything they keep inside the truck.

Tough crowd, Buck thinks.

Once the tour and introductions are over, Tommy shows him the locker room and where his assigned locker is.

“Look, kid, you’re young and new here, so let me give you some advice: This job is serious so you need to treat it seriously. However, leave some room for levity or the heaviness of what we deal with everyday will consume you. Find the right balance for you, but for now, you’re on probation, so you need to be on your best behavior, or else you’re out of here,” Tommy says as Buck puts his stuff in his locker.

Buck nods along then turns to face Tommy. “Sir, yes, sir,” he says with a mock salute.

Tommy crosses his arms and frowns. “I used to be in the army.”

Buck drops his hand with a look of horror on his face. “Great way to start a new job,” he murmurs.

“You did it wrong,” Tommy points out. “You’re supposed to make two fists and place one on your chest and the other on your back.”

It takes seconds before it clicks in Buck’s brain, and he looks to up to see Tommy grinning at him.

Buck smiles back at him, his pearly white teeth showing. “Big anime fan?”

“Of course,” Tommy says with a big smile that briefly makes the sun illuminate his presence, or at least that’s what happens in Buck’s head.

Sir Lewis Hamiltion has a dog, his dog is the goodest boy in the world, and I know too much about his dog so now you must suffer with this knowledge as well enjoy:

Lewis adopted Roscoe, a English bulldog, from an online adoption agency in 2013.Roscoe is a purebred bulldog with both his mom and dad being show dogs. Roscoe's name was chosen because Lewis thought it but Crofty calling Nico ‘Roscoe’ at the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix makes me have my doubts. Lewis later adopted Coco, a female bulldog. Coco’s breeder was originally going to put her down due to how expensive her health conditions, mostly likely a heart condition, were but Lewis stepped in. If you are trying to tell Coco and Roscoe apart in photos, Coco has a wider white stripe on her head. It is widest around the top of her head. Roscoe has more wrinkles and a brown spot on his snout and his strip ends at the top of his head and a new one starts off center in the back of his head. Coco’s fang teeth are also out more often compared to Roscoe's little teeth and she is a lighter color than Roscoe. Lewis expressed that he adopted the dog because his family has always had dogs, mostly labradors, but he said he always wanted an English bulldog. Coco lived till June 2020 when she passed in the night. Lewis and Roscoe were with her. His mom has five dogs! Both Roscoe and Coco have passports so they can travel with Lewis. Lewis was also granted special permission from Bernie Ecclestone to bring the dogs to the padlock (I assume Charles will ask Domenicali to bring Leo to the Padlock). 

Lewis brought a jet to fly with the dogs which he then sold in 2019. Roscoe is good with traveling due to his love of napping. In his first trip with Lewis he slept through most of the flight waking up to go to the bathroom and to make Lewis put him in his lap. Lewis followed Roscoe's command, sleeping with Roscoe in his lap like “a baby.” Lewis said, “Roscoe is the best travel pet, he just sleeps with you.” As Roscoe is getting older, Lewis has made the decision to travel less with him, as the time zones were getting hard on him. While Lewis is racing, Roscoe stays in Los Angeles, California with dog trainer Kirstin McMillan (adventuresindogtraining on instagram). Lewis says he gets pictures of Roscoe everyday and checks in on him. Roscoe also attends a dog park or “Los Angeles' first canine social club” as stated on their website called ‘Dog PPL’ in Santa Monica. It is about $120 a month for one dog.  

Not only is Roscoe Lewis’s son but also his best friend. Lewis talked about his instant connection when they first met. Roscoe gets sad when Lewis leaves and happy when he returns. Lewis says, “Then I get the Frisbee and play with him, and that’s, for me, the biggest highlight – the unconditional love you get from a pet like that.” Roscoe loves quad bikes. In one interview, Lewis said it’s because he’s lazy so he likes being driven around. However, I think it’s because he has taken after his dad and wants to race. Roscoe also loves frisbee and his ball; it seems like he enjoys fetching and chasing after things, like chasing other cars down… Roscoe WDC 2024 confirmed. Lewis also has Roscoe involved in many of his projects, Lewis has hinted that Roscoe has a cameo in ‘Apex’, his movie starring Brad Pitt. When Fortnite asked him to be in the game he said he would only agree if Roscoe was in the game with him. Fortnite, of course, agreed because Roscoe is an angel. They ended up putting him in a jet pack. He was 1,500 V-Bucks or 2,400 V-Bucks with the ‘Lewis Hamilton Budle’ (IDK if thats a lot I don’t play Fortnite). Lewis also said Roscoe is the only person he can count on to stand with him along with Bono.

After Coco’s death, Lewis took Roscoe to the vet where they recommended starting him on a vegan diet similar to what Lewis has. This vegan diet is often recommended to bulldogs because they often have food intolerances or allergies to the meat proteins that can affect the skin and gastrointestinal tract. The vegan diet Roscoe is on still includes the same things without the meat proteins in it that caused him to have health issues. Lewis has said his breathing has improved and that he no longer has skin allergies. Roscoe also has physical therapy and acupuncture every week to help with his joints.  Roscoe has also had health issues that caused him to ejaculate, often uncontrollably, scaring baby Roscoe and leading to him getting snipped in 2016. Lewis did have his sperm frozen so that Roscoe could have puppies. Lewis said, “It’s great his genes will live on.” Lewis said his plans were to have Roscoe’s puppies after he retires but with the fanzone in 2024 Australia GP, it sounds to me like he may be looking sooner to have Roscoe’s pups or to retire. Last year, around the British GP, Roscoe had some issues regarding his spine. If I remember correctly, it involved a slipped hernia in his spine. Luckily, he got stem therapy and was able to attend the GP. He has been improving, and as of today he is back to normal.

Now for the part most people know about. Roscoe started his instagram account, roscoelovescoco, in January 2015 with a post featuring Coco and him captioned “Thanks for following us :).” The instagram account was originally a joint account with both Coco and Roscoe until 2020, although both did get solo posts. As expected Roscoe does make money off his Instagram, but he is also a dog model. Lewis said in a Silver Arrows interview in 2021 that he gets paid $700 a day which goes in Roscoe's treat fund. Roscoe also has sponsorships. His Thanksgiving party was sponsored by Bramble Pets, and he did content (including a commercial) for Zapp, a food delivery company Lewis invested in. Roscoe also appears in Lewis' vlog channel (it hasn’t been updated since 2021) multiple times. His last appearance is in a video “Adventures with Roscoe! | Lewis Hamilton Vlogs” which is also the last updated video on Lewis channel. He reached 1 million followers in 2024, which is more than Chouprette Lagerfield, the cat of Karl Lagerfeld (I am not joking, this man left a good chunk of his fortune [~$300 million] to his cat). Roscoe’s captions on his instagram posts were originally typed in a sort of third person first person mix but in October 2020, Roscoe finally established his first first person post with his famous lisp. However, the conspiracy expands as prior to this first lisp post, there are two posts on instagram where Roscoe (and Coco) are talking to us. The first one was posted April 2024 with Roscoe saying, ‘They put a thermometer up me bum, dad!’ In this speech bubble, Roscoe doesn’t have a lisp but does speak in a sort of baby talk. The next post in October 2017 features both Roscoe and Coco with Roscoe saying, “We got acupuncture today Dad!” and Coco saying, “It’s my favorite.” (More info about the dogs getting acupuncture is in the health section.) I will note his lisp comes and goes on his posts around November 2020. His lisp finally stays and its intensity does increase. There are also a few posts taken with Mercedes that don’t feature the lisp, and a few posts talking about Roscoe or Coco written in their “Dad’s” pov where it obviously doesn’t use a lisp.

[CW: Injury. Odysseus meets someone... I wonder who they could be 👀]

The trees blurred past. The wind rushed in Odysseus’s ears. He would think this ride was exhilarating if he were in control and on flat ground. But with every second that passed, Odysseus was closer and closer to falling out of the saddle. He wrapped his arms around the horse’s neck and held on for dear life. The horse breathed heavily as it ran, sweat running down its flanks and neck. Odysseus’s hands were slipping, so he tightened his grip. The horse only panicked more. It bucked up and down as it ran, jerking its head from side to side.

Odysseus saw brightness quickly approaching as the horse sped down the path. They burst through the bushes, and his vision was momentarily white as his eyes adjusted. The horse ran in a zigzagging pattern, and Odysseus nearly slipped from his saddle. It bucked and stomped as it whinnied in fear. Odysseus grabbed the reins tightly again. He heard shouting some distance away and saw that he was near the castle.

The horse panicked more at the people rushing to the scene and started trying to buck Odysseus off. The young prince held on tight, but the reins he wrapped around his hands started getting too tight. He couldn’t feel his fingers, which were beginning to turn blue. He adjusted his grip and released the pressure.

But at that moment, the horse reared up again. Odysseus’s feet slipped out of the stirrups, and he fell. Odysseus tumbled backward over the croup, his legs up in the air. His arm shot back, an instinct to catch himself he wasn’t aware of.

The heel of Odysseus’s hand hit the ground first. Pain bolted up his arm, and he cried out. He landed hard on the grass, throbbing pain running up and down his arm. Out of the corner of his eye, Odysseus saw the horse turn toward him in its panic, pounding its feet. The horse reared up, and Odysseus felt like ice was coursing through his body. He covered his head with his good arm and curled his body tightly, bracing for an impact.

But it never came. Odysseus felt the ground near him shake with stamping hooves and heard the horse neighing, but he wasn’t hit. He opened his eyes, unsure of when he closed them.

A boy was standing above Odysseus and faced the horse. His arms were outstretched, and he guided the fearful animal away from the prince on the ground. The boy’s hair was short with tight curls, and his clothes were dirty and patched up in several places. He looked about Odysseus’s age, maybe younger, but he looked as experienced as the best horse trainer in the castle.

The horse backed away and bucked its head, but the boy slowly took the reins. At that moment, Ctimene, Eurylochus, and Polites rode out of the forest, dismounted their horses, and rushed to Odysseus’s side. They helped Odysseus to his feet as he held his arm to his chest, the pain worsening.

As his friends and sister helped him back to the castle, Odysseus couldn’t help but look back at the stable boy calming the horse, hoping to see the face of the one who saved his life. But he was rushed away before he could get a good look.

🪄🪄🐩🐩!!

When Buck swings open the door to Bobby’s office, there’s a stranger standing in front of the couch, reading the certificates nailed to the wall. Buck’s used to being the tallest person in the room, sometimes by a full head, but the man meets his eyes easily. The fabric of his crisp white button-up pulls at his broad shoulders and chest. Are door-to-door personal trainers a thing? Maybe they’ve moved on to bribing him into forgiveness? Buck considers this. It could work.

“Wayne,” Eddie says, “I don't want to alarm you, but there's a washed up prom king in your garden.”

“I lost prom king to Hargrove,” Harrington says. He stakes his shovel in the dirt and leans on it. His eyes sparkle, like he’s in on some kind of joke with Eddie.

“An obvious pretender to the throne,” Eddie’s mouth says. “An upstart in the court. Anyone with their eyes open could see him developing torticollis under the weight of the crown.”

The bedroom of Victor Dwight Shoemaker Jr. is frozen in time. For when Victor – known affectionately as J.R. by his loved ones – was just 5-years-old, he vanished without a trace.

It was a brisk spring morning in Kirby, West Virginia, on the 1st of May, 1994. J.R. and his family were attending a family reunion at his grandfather’s mobile home, situated on the outskirts of Short Mountain, which is a long, relatively low mountain of 8,000 acres. The area is rugged and a popular spot for hunting. Once they arrived, J.R. and his two older cousins – 8-year-old Lloyd Wolford and 9-year-old Tommy Martin – went outside to play in the wooded area of the mountainside, armed with their BB guns.

“They went a-huntin’” said their grandfather, Oscar Wolford. “That was their hobby. They’ve come back and say, ‘Oh, I killed a big buck.’”1 J.R. loved exploring the woods, presumably more so because he lived in the confines of a Leesburg apartment where he spent his days building houses out of cardboard boxes and drawing pictures of animals and snowmen. When visiting his grandfather – in the great outdoors – J.R. loved playing in the creeks and climbing the trees.

The area the boys played in was the only area that J.R.’s parents, Victor Shoemaker Sr. and Nettie Shoemaker, allowed their son to play out of their sight; the older couple had tried for years to have a baby before finally conceiving J.R. so they were remarkably protective of him. All three boys had played in the woods countless times and it was no different on this particular Sunday. On that morning, J.R. was wearing a red Bugs Bunny t-shirt, red shorts and white X-Men trainers. Like most children of his age, J.R. loved cartoons and his outfit demonstrated this.

According to J.R.’s cousins, it was around 8:30AM when J.R. stated that he was hungry. With his stomach growling, J.R. decided he would walk back to the mobile home to ask his grandfather to fix him something to eat. J.R.’s cousins said that as he sauntered off through the woodland, they lost sight of him.

Tragically, J.R. never made it back to his grandfather’s home....

Which Eeveelutions are most popular among NPCs?

On today's edition of Useless Pokémon Stats: I gathered data of the used Pokémon by all major NPCs (rivals, gym leaders, villains, and any other important story figures) and scanned them for Eeveelutions to see which mons are the most common.

Read on to find out which characters have Eevees!

The least-used Eeveelution is unsurprisingly the one who's the most newly added: Sylveon.

Shauna has a Sylveon on her team in XY.

It is also Gym Leader Valerie's signature Pokémon.

Bede adds Sylveon to his team once he switches to being a Fairy-type Trainer.

And of course, Penny has one. You're gonna get tired of seeing her on these lists, because she has every Eeveelution except for Espeon & Glaceon.

Next let's look at Vaporeon, who has six NPC trainers:

Misty has a Vaporeon on her team when rematched in Let's Go!

In Pokémon Yellow, Blue will evolve his Eevee into Vaporeon if the player loses both of the first two rival battles.

Calem or Serena (as the rival) will have a Vaporeon if the player chose Froakie as their starter.

Hau will have a Vaporeon if the player chose Litten.

Adaman has a Vaporeon in Legends: Arceus.

And Penny has one on her team as well.

Tied with six trainers is Umbreon.

Karen has an Umbreon on her Elite Four team.

Greta of the Hoenn Battle Frontier has an Umbreon in both Symbol challenges, so it's arguably her signature Pokémon.

Cheryl can use an Umbreon in the Battle Tower in all Gen IV games.

Buck has an Umbreon on his team at the Battleground.

Adaman has an Umbreon...

...and so does Penny.

And finally, also tied with the above is Leafeon.

Gardenia has a Leafeon in all of her B2W2 World Tournament teams.

Buck can have a Leafeon in the Battle Tower.

N has a Leafeon in B2W2 during the Summer battle at his castle.

Hau will have a Leafeon if the player chose Popplio.

And Adaman...

...and Penny too.

Interesting that Adaman has all of the less popular ones...

Anyway, moving up one NPC with Jolteon:

Lt. Surge uses a Jolteon in the B2W2 World Tournament, as well as during rematches in Let's Go!

Blue can have a Jolteon in Yellow if the player wins both early rival encounters.

Trace will always evolve his Eevee into Jolteon in Let's Go! Kinda wish they had kept the mechanic that Yellow used, but oh well.

Volkner has a Jolteon in Platinum, the game where his gym team actually makes some damn sense.

Marley can have a Jolteon in the Battle Tower in Platinum & HGSS.

Calem/Serena will have a Jolteon if the player chose Chespin.

And Penny! (the schuyyyler sisters)

Also in a tie is Glaceon:

Lucas will have a Glaceon in BDSP if the player chose Turtwig.

Candice has a Glaceon in her rematch battle in Platinum.

Cynthia has a Glaceon on her team in Black 2 & White 2.

Mira can use a Glaceon in the Battle Tower in all Gen IV games.

N uses a Glaceon in the Winter battle at his castle.

Sina has a Glaceon in Pokémon Moon & Ultra Moon, as well as in the Battle Tree in Sun & Ultra Sun.

And Irida has a Glaceon in Legends: Arceus.

And finally, we have two Pokémon in a tie for first, both with eight known trainers. The first is Flareon.

Blaine has a Flareon in the B2W2 World Tournament.

Blue will have a Flareon in Yellow if the player only wins one of the first two rival battles.

Lucas uses a Flareon if the player chose Chimchar.

Flint has a Flareon in Platinum, the game where he doesn't have a friggin lopunny for NO REASON

Calem/Serena uses a Flareon if the player chose Fennekin.

Hau uses Flareon if the player chose Rowlet.

And Irida...

...and Penny!

And tied with it is Espeon.

Red has an Espeon when challenged on Mt. Silver.

Sabrina uses an Espeon in for her gym battles in GSC.

Lucas will have an Espeon if the player chose Piplup.

Lucian has an Espeon on his team in Platinum.

Cheryl can use an Espeon in the Battle Tower.

And so can Mira.

Dexio has an Espeon in SM & USUM.

And Irida has an Espeon in LA.

though he's always been a softer sort than his twin sibling, he shares her snark and rebellious tendencies, and his sense of humor outmatches theirs. the twins were born under a dark sky on the winter solstice, when the veil was thin, and on the day of their birth, something unknowable marked them. where persephone's void-trait is smoky hair, orion's sclera are pitch black, glittering — as the darkest parts of seph's hair do — with faint smatterings of stars. his irises, in contrast, are rings of glowing white.

iris, that is. his right eye is gone, covered by an eyepatch made of soft black satin. orion favors soft cotton and silky textures in clothing; he hates feeling restricted, so flowy blouses and wide-leg pants are the go-to. (a canvas apron loosely fitted over them, of course.) you'll never find him with hands free of ink or paint stains. too much to do, never enough time to let them fade. and naturally, there is always a pen and a tiny notebook somewhere on his person.

it's rare orion goes anywhere other than his apartment and the coworking space he shares with the unseen's inner circle. when he does go outside, it's not for very long. incredibly nervous about getting social interactions wrong, he has simply decided it's best not to risk it. but when he does make a friend? he is steadfast and loyal. a real one. (and a bit of a scamp.)

bio below!

being neurodivergent in a space that barely has words — let alone infrastructure — for the care he needs, orion struggled during his early days in the unseen. he was called stupid in more ways than he could count. children were to be molded and shaped by their handlers into efficient tools. he learned quickly to stay quiet and out of the way. they taught him to fight, but he was never very good, often uncoordinated and too in his head to react quickly enough. between the two of them, it was seph that excelled at violence. but after gaining some respect and renown among their peers and handlers, she stopped following orders without the condition that orion be left alone — and after several failed attempts to get her in line, they reluctantly agreed.

it was a good thing they did. it was dropping the leash that led to their realization that orion was an excellent life artist, able to copy down visual details near-perfectly. they enrolled him in the non-physical track with other scrawny and brainy kids: they would train as engineers, spies, dog trainers, fences. as his forging skills skyrocketed, orion quickly caught up to seph's level of renown.

he lost his eye during the twins' failed escape attempt as teenagers. it was seph's idea; the higher they climbed, the more they realized it would become their futures if they weren't careful. crime was only supposed to be a way to make a quick buck and get a little tougher on the streets while they searched for better work. orion was ready to resign himself to his fate; persephone, ever the hothead and the architect of their first escape from their parents as children, refused to give up.

of course, they were caught. by the tower themself, no less: the leader of the entire organization turning their wrath on them was the worst possible outcome, and now it stared them in the face. persephone took responsibility for the mistake. of course they did; it had been their idea, and they would have let fletch kill them right there if it lessened the suffering their brother had to feel. orion's tongue was bound up in his mouth, fear tangling up the words in his throat.

the punishment was harsh and traumatizing, but afterwards the twins sought refuge in the freedom and anonymity of the tower's inner circle. they allowed him to live as he needed to live and grow his skills in a way that worked for him. so long as he produced results, that was all that mattered. and he and persephone could finally live together.

which they did, in relative peace and with relative ease. after walking through the fire, they now had the freedom to work as they pleased, do what they wanted with their spare time, and spend more money than they would ever know what to do with. sometimes persephone cooked for him, like they had when they were kids — nowadays they could only really make donburi and ketchup rice, though, so they went out to eat or ordered in more often than not. things were good. they were happy.

and then his sister vanished for two years.

in the beginning, fletch reassured orion that they had gone deep undercover for a job and would return when it was finished. when a year passed with no word, the inner circle's murmurings became constant gossip; his coworkers walked on eggshells around him, and he became quieter than he had ever been.

another year passed — still no word. the tower, amari fletch, did not seem worried, despite the fact that they were running business without a right hand; if they were reacting to her disappearance in any way, they kept it quiet. orion occasionally caught them beginning to turn to ask her something, then stop. but he never confronted them, because any time he considered it he remembered how it felt to listen to his sibling's screams as fletch tore their arms from their sockets. how it felt to lose his eye. he didn't dare, and he hated himself for it.

persephone returned to him in a medical coma. her throat had been cut, and a third-degree burn stretched up the right side of her body. the riots that day — the exile riots, people getting up in arms about a politician's disappearance — had caused explosions and fires all over the city, but who could have gotten to her? orion had never seen persephone taken off guard. and he would never find out. after she woke up, they barely lasted two weeks living together before they had an explosive argument and persephone stormed out.

she never spoke to him again. it has been three years.

they live in the same tiny, tight-knit social circle, but persephone ghosts him every chance they get, only interacting when it is absolutely necessary for work. he lost himself in grief and anger for some time; that first year was... really rough for both of the twins & the rest of the inner circle. vibes were rancid. everyone was on edge all the time. but ... eventually, things evened out; orion went from desperation to anger to resignation. he poured himself into his work to an unhealthy degree.

life goes on, after all.

VERSES

BNHA — along with his sister persephone, orion still works for the unseen as one of their high-level lieutenants ( the inner circle, known as the sanctum ). though everyone in the sanctum doubles as a hitman, orion is by far the worst fighter. even when he and seph were spies in UA's hero course, he worked as a support student and avoided fighting whenever possible.

quirk: iterate! he can perfectly replicate anything he sees from memory as long as he has the right amount of matter on hand. the more complicated the object, the more difficult it is for him to do so. additionally, he can add or change details while forming the new duplicate object. this is what allows him to perfectly replicate IDs, even when they have special embedded anti-forgery materials within them. he's also used this to quickly turn chunks of metal into iterations on support weapon designs, but he doesn't do this much anymore.

quick notes: orion and seph were pulled out of the hero course just before graduation ( or in current-gen verse, right when the war starts to get serious ). he remains in the united states until the present day, in his mid to late twenties, following hellhound from the US to japan (the whole sanctum does, actually — they're helping the unseen get a foothold here, now that the shie-hassaikai has been neutered.)

though his sister is still ghosting him, he stubbornly keeps tabs on her.

Temptation Tuesday

Not tagged by anyone but I just need to talk about these ideas, they’re haunting me okay.

I'm currently working on an MMA Rivals AU and Rodeo/Bull Riding AU but I can't get these ideas out of my head:

Chef Buck AU: The bear/No reservations inspired: like can you imagine Buck in his chef whites saying "Yes Chef" to Eddie while looking up at him through his eyelashes, smirk pulling at his lips because I can and it haunts me.

Ted Lasso AU: Football, Bobby is Ted Lasso, Buck is Jamie Tart, Eddie is Roy Kent

Eddie was in the K9 Unit in the army- When he's back state side he needs help with his dog, enter Dog trainer Evan Buckley

Body Guard Eddie - need I say more -yes- Eddie's back from his second tour, needs a job when an old buddy reaches out to him, he need someone to guard Evan Buckley (Actor? Son of a rich man? Politician?) A mix between The Bodyguard/Bodyguard

AU where Buck and Eddie meet in the army and start sleeping together - angst, whumpage, Eddie deals with his gay crisis

Sign language Buck and Eddie -thats it

Jake/Holt = Buck/Bobby = Son/Father: 5 times Buck calls Bobby ‘Dad’, +1 time Bobby calls Buck son: “It’s funny, on my first day here, I asked Jeffords to tell me about everyone, told me you were a great detective, but the one thing you couldn’t figure out was how to grow up…Well, I think you’ve finally figured it out.”

On that note: Cops AU/Brooklyn 99 AU inspired by this:

A street racing/Fast n' Furious AU inspired by this picture: (there's already the 'Ride & Die' Series by spaceprincessem but I need moreeeeee) Specifically under cover FBI agent Eddie Diaz and Street racer Evan Buckley and its before they find out. Its mostly inspired by this picture: (Like imagine Buck's in the passenger seat)

And lastly a Mafia AU: I mean just look at these images, I have no thoughts just vibes but like god damn, are they the two mafia husbands or are they rivals/star cross lovers I don't know but i love them:

This is not including the half-dozen song-inspired fics I have- mostly it's Noah Kahan but 'Let's Ruin the Friendship' is such a Buddie song.

Fairly Odd Pokemon

Warning: Mentions of neglect/child endangerment. Also, this is a long headcanon thing fyi.

* = Shiny Pokémon

M = Male F = Female G= Genderless

*Insert move* -> *insert move* = Can use both (Like a power level dynamic. Example, using water gun in small fires, and can transition to hydro pump for big fires. Can alternate between both no problem (well more energy needed for hydro pump in comparison but still). Counts as one move though.)

Also, this is an AU where Timmy is the protagonist instead of Ash. Also, all of Ash's travel companions are replaced by FOP characters. And this takes place in Unova (since it's close to the US, right?), with Dimmsdale just on the outside border of the region. Also, yes other region Pokémon appear, all but Galar and Alola. Why? Maybe some magic got involved long ago to make it happen. ;)

Plus, Poof is the older of him and Timmy in this AU.

And yes, the evil Pixies team is named after LOR dragon Smaug. Reason is Pixies are money makers, and I figured what better name for their evil team than of a treasure/gold hoarding dragon? Meanwhile Team Mishap is the Anti-Fairies, whom unlike Pixies, don't hide them being the bad guys at all.

A Summary (if possible/needed): In the small town of Dimmsdale, 10-year-old Timmy can finally become an official Pokémon trainer. Though throughout his journey, he will have to face the evil Team Mishap (Anti-Fairies) and Team Smaug (Disgusted as the business corporation Pixie Inc.). Making friends, making enemies, all while trying to become the very best and make a name for himself? The world really isn't going to make it easy is it.

Characters:

Timmy

Gary

AJ

Chester

Tad

Chad

Trixie

Veronica

Tootie

Elmer

Sanjay

Poof

Foop

More possibly to be added...depends on if you guys want more (request in inbox of possible oneshots/headcanons for this and all characters! Pokemon included!)

Bios:

Name: Timmy Turner Fairywinkle-Cosma

Age: 10

Occupation: Pokémon trainer / Gym challenger / Coordinator

Hair color / Style: Light Brown and spiky

Eye color: Blue

Outfits:

Regular - Pink t-shirt, blue jeans, and matching blue sneakers

Contest - Light blue tuxedo with matching tie, blue mask, black dress shoes, and fingerless white gloves

Training - White kung-fu outfit with pink, green, and purple striped belt

Facial features: Buck two front teeth

Other: Has a small facial scar on the bottom of his chin

Backstory: It happened when he and Gary were four, their mother and father just happened leave them at the camping site and drove off home. Lost and scared, the two mistakenly took a hallow tree as a resting place, when it was a Beedrill nest (luckily said mons were sleepy still, and simply dazed out. But that didn't stop some, as those Beedrill had the move Sleep Talk and or Snore.). They ran off screaming, but before they ran into a Pokémon ranger, they fell into a ravine where they got said scar. Getting said scar, Gary with a mere identical one on his chin too, were brought to a nearby hospital where local police came to investigate. So, the CPS later is called, and the twins are dropped off at Wanda and Cosmo's for the night, to later being adopted and living permanently there once the forms were done and their 'parents' were imprisoning for child abandonment and other crimes.

Personality: He's overall a very caring individual, at least those closest to him. Around strangers he's a bit cold, due to lack of trust of many people compared to Pokémon, especially adults. He only at first, was kindhearted and open to his godparents, twin and godbrothers. Then later A.J. and Chester. Sometimes he can get a little into his head and turn selfish in case of popularity. Thankfully, Gary is the one who is able to pull him back and get his head straight. He's very protective though of those he cares for, especially Pokémon.

Hometown: Dimmsdale

Personality: He tries very hard to look and be cool wherever he goes, but it's really a shell of whom he really is, and only Timmy and his Pokémon know for a long while. Not that he doesn't get cocky or arrogant sometimes, but he's more mellow more than anything. Despite being the same age, he's very protective of Timmy, and such events to trigger this can actually break the arrogant shell he holds. He's been like such since the Beedrill incident. He's also secretly a nerd but hides his high intelligence with sass (or with sass if needed). But in private, likes to geek out with Timmy of their favorite Pokémon and trainers in the world.

Tumblr Plays Pokemon White 2 - Part 8

((So i actually had to go back and fight a bunch of trainers to get money for more pokeballs to try and catch pokemon with.))

Well hanging out in the lot was a lot of fun but now I think I'll head back down into the sewers and get to the pokemon center. I need to prepare.

Yeah I think he's feeling a little... frustrated. Look its this whole revenge thing, I don't really wanna get into it.

Iris then asks what I'm going to do now, and honestly? While I'm aiming to fight in the gym I think I need to train some first. Get a gas mask, complete a bit more of the pokdedex. Yada yada.

Also I'm actually nearly out of the pokeballs. I've only got, like, four. And three of those I dont wanna use yet.

Guess that means one thing. I gotta fight some trainers for cash.

I start in the sewers. I opt to not use healing items like potions. I'd rather not spend money trying to buy more so instead my team and I are just going to have the train the difficult way by healing at the pokemon center for free. Once we have enough money and balls saved up we can try to fill out more of the pokedex.

Besides I wanna make sure I'm strong enough to beat Burgh and this as good of an excuse as any to train up.

I actually try to avoid most of the wild pokemon, saving up our energy for the trianers.

Turns out one of the trainers I beat is a doctor so i was able to get my pokemon healed up! And immediately after that I found a scientist who gave me a super potion! Dang things are looking up! I found a few items in the sewer I might be able use or sell as well.

Place still reeks though.

Getting curious I choose to check out that gaping hole in the sewers and find myself in a cave system (relic passage) rather than explore further I opt to leave it alone for now and return later.

((I actually completely forgot about Relic passage when making the poll. XD I think I'll include it amongst the potential places to catch mons after we get our eevee encounter once we get enough money for more pokeballs.))

AAAnd that rare bone I found in the sewer sold for fifty bucks

NICE

And I spend ALL my money on great balls. I decide it'll be a good idea to head to that little hidden park to start some training.

I wonder around in the grass a bit and run into an Eevee. A friggin EEVEE! A wild one! I can't believe this! Those are insanely rare in Unova!

EVERY trainer wants an eevee!

Bentley! Aries! Do NOT screw this up!

I swap Bentley out for Molly both to take down Petilil sooner, and to avoid Bentleys old habits from kicking in.

Don't look at me like that Bentley you know what you did!

After that it was a matter of being insanely cautious with the damage.

Once I got eevee down to a reasonable health level I decided that now, now was the time to use that Ultra ball I was given back in Aspertia.

Ultra ball dont fail me now!

I select.

I throw.

aaaaaand

Eevee on the team!!!

Ohhhhh he is just so CUTE!

What shall I name him? I mean he was the first pokemon in this whole thing to win, more or less, by a massive landslide. So I feel like I should incorporate that in the name.

I asked my sister what I should name this Eevee and she suggest Pollemachus in reference to him winning the poll. That sounded werid so I was considering Champ but while we were discussing it and even seeing if Pollemachus would fit into the pokemon nickname section (it did not) we wound up coming across the name Pollux. Which apparently means "very sweet" some sources claimed it also meant "crown"? I'm not sure but given this pokemon by a Poll that was absolutely no contest I think it only seems right to give him a name in reference to it.

So after a LOT of debate the little Eevees name became Polux.

And now for the moment of truth.

The nature check.

I spent so much time looking for this Eevee. I can only hope the pokmeon challenge gods look favorably upon me.

Okay

Bentley. Quiet Nature.

Aries. Hasty Nature.

Molly. Hardy Nature.

Polux.

...

DOCILE NATURE

YES.

Now of course Polux is gonna need training but I think I may be okay to challenge the bug type gym!

There will be a set of new polls soon!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Thinking thoughts about the fact that soooo many really super important Buckley-Diaz family conversations happen whilst two of them are sitting on a bed and they're all connected to parental roles in some way!

Chris gets questiony about Eddie going out (he's cottoned on to the fact Eddie is dating - which naturally is a big thing for him as it brings the potential of a new parental figure - and the 'replacement' of his mom);

Then we get the shooting conversation (which is obviously about the fact his remaining parent is in grave danger, but also served to really push Buck into a parental role);

Followed by this new one (which is all about Shannon and her role in Christophers life going forward - that Christopher is scared about forgettinng her, but also beginning to show his fears around people leaving him. It also again plays into Bucks role as a co-parent - its a really lovely progression from the shooting conversation);

But we also should include the will conversation in the list - it might not have taken place in Christophers room, but the mirroring of so many aspects such as colours and camera angles and lighting etcand the fact it reveals the legal standing of Buck within the family dynamic thats already been developing.

I'm a bit in my feels about it today especially because Bucks outfit in the 7x01 scene is, in colour terms an exact match for the hospital will reveal (yellow, navy and white trainers) - and Eddie hiding in the corridor is also more or less an exact colour match as well (navy/black and khaki green)- which is telling us to link the scenes together !!!!

Jordy chuckled, but took Ryan’s advice. She followed him to a test-your-strength machine and paid two bucks for three swings. “Really, though, thanks for coming. Means a lot to me.” “Well, don’t thank me yet. I’m still waiting to hear what happened with Shanti.” Jordy swung the hammer. Whack! The weight went halfway up. “Fawn told you most of it,” he said. “Not much else to say. I made a mistake and paid for it, and I’ve moved on.” Swing two went higher. “OK, you’ve moved on. Great. What about her victims?” Melanie said. “I didn’t fuckin’ come here to talk about my ex,” Jordy put the hammer behind his head and grunted. He heaved it forward in an overhand swing, bashing the rubber button with all his might. WHACK! DING! The bell rung and the carny clapped. “Alright, baby doll, looks like your man just won you a prize! Step right up, take your pick! You think you can beat that, sir? Alright, c’mon!” And he’d already moved on to the next customer. Melanie rolled her eyes and grabbed the first thing at hand—a knockoff Garfield beanbag doll so overstuffed it looked pregnant. She tossed it at her ‘man’ and said “Tough shit, ‘cuz I did. When a guy refuses to talk about his ex, girls get suspicious. We have to.” He looked around nervously. “Let’s find some place more private, OK? Ferris wheel?” “Works for me. If today’s the day it goes down, Ryan’s dad can sue them.” The metal armbar and red plastic seating stung Melanie’s skin as she climbed in, Jordy’s bulk pressing her against them. The metal creaked as their seat rose, soon clearing the trees and revealing acre after acre of suburban sprawl. Kahoti’s white walls were just visible in the distance, like a desert mirage. “When you’re a Warden,” he said, “Eventually you’ll meet someone who you can’t tell the truth to, but can’t let go of either. So you lie, and you get good at lying. Fawn does the same with the orchestra kids, Miss Vernon with the teachers, we all do.” “But one day she came to me sobbing. Her ‘teammates’ humiliated her in front of everyone. She was gonna either kill them or herself. So I caved. Taught her a few exorcist tricks. Nothing dangerous. Memory spells so they’d forget their homework, compulsions to pick their nose in public, just pranks. But it wasn’t enough, she kept looking for nastier stuff. After a while, I bailed. She found another trainer.” The wheel creaked as the trip down began. “Never found out who.” “Never found out? How many people could it have been?” “There’s dabblers and small-timers everywhere. Old man leaves ‘em alone unless they start shit. And apparently one of them’s got some serious juice. I didn’t even know until she rung me up on New Year’s Eve with those girls locked up in a trapping Ward. She was mad with power by that point. If I didn’t help, she’d have gone after me next. “So there’s my story. One moment of weakness. Trying to help my girlfriend after a bad day and I ruined three girls’ lives. So what’s the word, Your Honor? Guilty or innocent?” It wasn’t just his story, Melanie thought as the ferris wheel creaked to a stop, but the way he told it. Every word was as bitter as medicine as he stared, dead-eyed, into the sky. She could question his judgment, but not his sense of guilt. “Innocent, I guess. Until proven guilty. You must be pretty confident I’m not gonna be like her.” “When I heard Mr. C’s grandkid was moving in, I thought, shit, no matter what else she’s like, at least I can tell the truth about my life. Then I realized you’re a rookie too.” He chuckled. “But nah, you’re not like her. You think about things before doing ‘em, and you don’t got that mean streak. Honestly, Tabby reminds me of her more than you do.”

White Willows

1…2…3…1…2…3…

Seconds were all that were between the paces between breath and the strike of the Willow switch against skin. A switch being a improvised cane, this one formed from a willows branch, flexible, strong and whiplike when worn.

Atop a hill nearly barren hill, underneath the curtain like shade of a single willow tree. The scene holds two- a Trainer and Pet. One dressed and the latter only equipped with a collar and leash, tightly lashed to the closest hanging willow branch, keeping the Pet sat up on their knees and back straight.

Shade would be the only real shield against the elements, and eyes. The leaves cascade from the branches with the breeze, shaking free some sunlight to graze against bare skin.

“We’ll begin under these conditions: This session is one hour. Any signs of fatigue or exhaustion, or any noises will warrant a switching. Any signs of weakness will be weaned out.” The session truly begins once there is a quiet nod, eyes locked and ready, body braced.

With one test strike, the aforementioned weakness is gauged; one lash of the switch lands firmly against their left thigh. As a flinch is noticed and a whine heard under the willows shade- A quiet echo across the hill and field compared to the winds howl- steps crossing to the opposite side could be heard as another strike lands on the opposing thigh. Two long stinging welts form as the skin raises- mirroring each other. The wind brushes past like a cool breath; causing a quiet seething that doesn’t go unnoticed. Another ‘thwack’ echos and the sound of the leash pulling taut could barely be described behind the cry and following whimpers.

The original strike was to the bend of their hip, ending at their back, and the following cry would earn them two more across the back. Causing wilding bucking and grunting to ensue as an attempt to stifle any more weakness, the involuntary shaking betraying the attempt at composure.

Minutes melt into one another as the restrained starts to blank- this moment felt frozen in time- and as their eyes close to gain a sense of reprieve? The switch crosses both thighs, firmly and faster than before, the welt has some bruising and reddish skin around the edges, this one may last one or two days. This admiration would be cut short, as the resulting shock would cause a gasp to escape.

“Are we starting to get tired?” Can only be heard with a taunting false concern before another strike could be heard, much harder than before- this one aimed at the tree, much farther away. This clears the haze, posture suddenly perfect again and eyes wide and alert.

The sound of kneeling against grass could be heard with “You have 10 minutes left- break the Leash if you wish to stop, but 10 minutes is nothing.”

While trailing over the marks visible from their eyes- a resolve is found in only a minute giving 9 left to their precious session. While bracing in silence, an affirmative nod is given as the next lash is felt crossing over their ass, causing a reflex to buck and lose composure, and it isn’t too long before another follows. Before 5 minutes left on the timer, there would be a soft silence as a collar is removed, and a voice calls for: “Scene.”

Ending on a view of two aiding in dressing. An excitement awaits for what lies at home as they descend the hill.

Hope you enjoy~

-Saint.

[OFFSCREEN POST]

WARNINGS: Blood

———

“Cecilia, use Flower Trick!”

With a flick of its wrist, the Meowscarada sends its floating flower towards its opponent- an Iron Valiant. The Gallade-lookalike watches as the flower hovers above its head, sprouting a small bundle of leaves with pink petals. It then falls off the green flower with a pop, striking the robot in the head.

It makes a few disgruntled beeping noises, but the Paradox Pokémon is otherwise unfazed by the attack. It glares at Cecilia in annoyance, entering a battle stance as it readies to strike back-

“Lava Plume!”

The Iron Valiant barely has time to react as the ground beneath it begins to crack. It jumps out of the way, just in time to avoid a stream of hot lava that comes bursting from the earth.

“Aerial Ace.”

Before it can land safely, however, a Staraptor swoops by as it falls through the air, using its wing to slash across its middle and knocking it off balance. With an ear-piercing shriek, it collapses backwards at the foot of a cliff.

While the Iron Valiant recovers, its attackers along with their trainers surround it. Florence arrives at the scene on the back of her Koraidon, while Larry and Rika rush on foot in soon afterwards. Rika’s Camerupt, Larry’s Staraptor, and Cecilia all stand side by side, effectively backing the Iron Valiant into a corner.

The futuristic Gallade rises to its feet, still in relatively good shape besides the onslaught of attacks from before. It glances between all three of its opponents with a cold, calculating stare, its metal skirt billowing in the wind behind it.

“Sorry, no where left to run.” Rika says, her Camerupt huffing besides her.

“We’re not gonna hurt you-” Florence tries to reassure the robot, “-but this’ll go a lot smoother if you don’t resist.”

Clearly, her words don’t get through to it- in a matter of seconds the Iron Valiant is battle ready again, spinning its double-edged spear in its robotic hand like a baton.

“Yeah, I had a feeling it wasn’t gonna be that easy…” Florence sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. She then slides down from her Koraidon’s back, giving the feathered reptile a nod. “Okay Pyrrhus, you’re-”

“Dragon Pulse!”

The sudden appearance of a Lucario leaping through the air catches everyone by surprise- but for the Iron Valiant, it’s like time slows down. It watches as everyone’s attention turns towards the Lucario, and takes this chance to make an escape. Seconds before the beam of draconic energy can hit, the Fighting-type narrowly dodges and jumps over the heads of the trainers.

The Lucario lands where the Iron Valiant had just been, snarling in frustration at its opponent’s clever slip away. Soon, a Cyclizar with a yellow saddle runs into the scene, a trainer atop its back.

Florence squints when she recognizes the trainer. The pink hair, the black and white hat, the blue jacket around their waist… was that-

“Pinky?!” Rika suddenly shouts. “How did you-”

“Follow you?” Blake responded to the nickname, sitting up in their Cyclizar’s back. “Easy, listened for the sound of people getting their asses kicked.”

“We were doing just fine, actually.” Rika scoffs, then waves her hand at them. “Now get out of here, it’s dangerous!”

“Uh, guys…” Larry interrupted their argument, pointing to direct everyone’s attention to the Iron Valiant, who’s currently charging at the group with its weapon drawn.

“Shit!” Florence swears, throwing herself onto Pyrrhus’ back. Cecilia follows close behind as the Koraidon bounds up the side of a nearby cliff.

Rika, Larry and their Pokémon all successfully duck for cover. Blake tries to ride out of the way, but in the panic, their Cyclizar accidentally bucks them off and sends them falling into the dirt with a thud. In their momentary daze, they don’t see the Iron Valiant swiftly dashing towards them.

“Blake!”

Rika suddenly throws herself in the way just as the robot Gallade’s blade comes slicing down, rolling down a nearby hill with Blake in her arms.

The Iron Valiant locks onto them again in a second, almost moving faster than light as it launches itself towards the fallen trainers. Blake’s Lucario rushes in just as fast, parrying the other Fighting-type’s spear with a Bone Rush just as it moves in to deliver a devastating blow.

The two are locked in a stand-off, weapons scraping against each other as they struggle to gain the upper hand. Rika groans, letting go of Blake and sitting up, wincing at a sharp pain in her left arm. Looking down, she grimaces when she sees a deep, nasty red slash across her shoulder, and again when she notices a similar wound on Blake’s bicep.

Blake gets up with a strained grunt, placing a hand over the bloodied cut. “Ryu!” They cried out to their Pokémon, who’s still trying to fight the Iron Valiant off. The Lucario growls as he begins to be pushed back by the robot’s glowing hot pink spear, his bone club starting to crack under the pressure.

Thankfully, help arrives just in time- Staraptor comes diving down from the sky, its talons outstretched. The Iron Valiant is forced to jump away from Ryu, avoiding the bird’s razor sharp claws by an inch. Staraptor glides back up and circles back, its wings lighting up as it prepares to strike with Aerial Ace.

While the Pokémon are busy fending off the enraged robot, Florence rides by on Pyrrhus, ushering Rika and Blake onto the Koraidon’s back.

“Alright, this thing’s really mad now,” Florence grumbles once she leads Pyrrhus a safe distance away from the fight. She slides back onto the ground, pulling Rika and Blake off with her. With a firm pat to his side, she gives Pyrrhus a nod. “We’ll need your help for this one, buddy!”

Pyrrhus’ eyes narrow in understanding, before he rushes towards the conflict headfirst. With a leap, his body is engulfed in orange light- and as he falls back down to earth, he emerges in his battle form, colorful feathered crest swaying behind him.

He lands just in time to protect Cecilia from an oncoming attack, grabbing the handle of the Iron Valiant’s spear and stopping it in its tracks. With little effort, he begins to swing the robotic Gallade around, before slamming into a nearby cliff side.

It recovers quicker than anyone can anticipate, though, already spinning its weapon once more and dashing back into the fight.

Staraptor is the first to react- flapping around clumsily as it fires a series of frantic Air Slashes at the Iron Valiant. As expected by now, the robot catches on quickly, bouncing around and dodging them effortlessly. It doesn’t waste time fighting back; in an instant, it leaps up into the air with Staraptor, swinging its spear full force and knocking it out of the sky with one heavy smack.

Staraptor cries out in agony as it skids through the rough earth, kicking up dust in its path. There’s a flash of slight panic across Larry’s usual neutral expression, and he stumbles over to his Pokémon’s collapsed form.

“Estrella…” he murmurs out his Staraptor’s name, placing a hand on her head as he fumbles to retrieve her Pokéball from his suitcase. Too distracted by his fallen Pokémon, he doesn’t see how the Iron Valiant’s murderous gaze locks onto him.

In a second, the robot is closing in on its target- Ryu rushes forwards in an attempt to intercept it, but is thrown back easily by a swift movement of its spear.

Florence’s eyes go wide when she realizes what’s about to happen. “LARRY, MOVE-!”

Larry sees the Iron Valiant just as it reaches him, and he moves to push himself out of the way- but it’s too late.

There’s a deafening slice, followed by the thump of the Elite Four member’s body falling to the ground.

Just then, it seems like the world freezes.

Florence can’t move. Everything is deadly silent around her- all she can hear is the sound of her heart hammering in her ears. She feels like she might just faint when she sees the pool of red gather around Larry’s form, and the blood dripping from the Iron Valiant’s blade.

And she does. She falls to her knees, the world around her spinning faster than she can process. The sounds of distraught screams and Pokémon cries drown out around her.

Her vision blurs, the image of Larry bleeding out in front of her imprinted on her mind.

The last thing she sees is Camerupt charging furiously at the Iron Valiant before everything goes dark.

…

…

…

Florence opens her eyes. Everything is still spinning. The voices she hears are muffled, but she can just barely make out Rika’s.

“Kiddo? Hey, look at me- It’s gonna be okay, hang in there-”

She can feel the familiar warmth of Pyrrhus’ body beneath her. She looks past Rika’s blurry silhouette, seeing Blake carrying an unconscious Larry on their back. The pink haired trainer’s back is almost drenched in blood, but they can’t seem to care, too focused on getting to safety.

Florence grips at Pyrrhus’ soft feathers, not even realizing there’s tears leaking from her eyes. All she can do is bury her face in her Pokémon’s scales, praying she’ll wake up from whatever nightmare she’s found herself in.
