#Valerie would love PMD.

I find it mildly hilarious that Black and White makes such a huge deal out of the fact N can understand Pokémon, like "LOOK! He can understand the hearts minds of Pokémon!" Truly a unique individual!" then you watch the anime and find out that talking to Pokémon is apparently an already established superpower that some people just have and that two Gym Leaders can do it.

Sorry, N. You ain't special.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Absol's cry? Because I do XD

Anyway here's Tundra!

Nature: Calm, "Good endurance" Level: 40 Ability: Pressure Known Moves: Swords Dance, Shadow Ball, Slash, Bite

The life of an Absol is an unthankful one. Coming down from your home to warn of impending disasters, only to be ignored, blamed or even punished when your prediction comes true? This oddly-colored Absol was fed up with that bullshit. The moment a certain purple-haired human asked him to join the team, Tundra accepted. He didn't care what the journey ahead would bring, he just wanted to get away from the people that refused to listen to him.

By Dalex's side, Tundra mainly acted as "ghost repellant," mainly due to his type advantage against the spirits. In battle, Tundra was swift yet strong, always trying to land a hit before the opponent knew what was coming, followed by a quick escape. Absols like Tundra do not typically enjoy combat, hence the desire to end fights quickly, but he grew to enjoy it over time. Probably because of the Swords Dances he'd get to set up, a move he saw as the epitome of grace.

On the day of Valerie's accident, Tundra practically leaped out of his Pokéball, hoping to save Dalex from whatever crisis that was befalling him. Unfortunately, he came out a little too late as Valerie had already been injured, but he was still able to help Dalex carry her to safety. Had he not, Valerie may very well have died before she could get help.

As a predictor of disasters, Tundra took a bit of blame for himself for not sensing the event sooner, and even now wonders why he couldn't see it coming. Following Dalex's retirement, Tundra spends his days guarding the Rathmore household, sunglasses propped up to hide the endless rumination in his eyes.

Trivia

He is 35% shiny.

He was named "Tundra" based on his icy blue eyes. And also because he didn't like "Blizzard."

He has a PMD counterpart, aka the Absol you meet in BRT/RRT/DX

He has feelings for Vesuvius, a Camerupt, but isn't sure how to tell her. It's another part of why he never takes off his sunglasses; making direct eye contact with her leaves him flustered.

when im done with devotion i should put valerie in the pmd vortex next i think she'd fuckin love it in there. she would wake up in the woods as a little like togepi or something and be so hyped

[zorollade]

experiencing so much difficulty with devotion recently... i feel like ive written myself into a corner or something, bc i just cannot bring myself to like anywhere i go with it. but i cant write the next section of the au until i finish devotion and decide where the next part is going to start ,, so the evil forces inside of me are just like Write a completely different PMD au about Valerie from Kalos. you know you want to. You know she would fucking love to wake up as a Mawile or something. and like the thing is that she definitely would but also. am i willing to abandon my boys even longer. alas.

anyway thats why the updates are taking so long
