The 'Thermal Wonderland' was endlessly fascinating and inspiring for me as an artist – so many interesting minerals and colours and colour combinations. In a perfect painter's world I would have been able and allowed to simply scoop up all the pigments, but well… This painting shows Lake Ngakoro ('the grandfather'). The lake was created during an eruption about 700 years ago – and it is very green!

All colours are 100% natural and caused by minerals dissolved in the hot water.

Besides Latias being your favorite legendary Pokémon, what would be your SECOND favorite legendary?

Heck, what's your top FIVE favorite legendary Pokémon?

Aww man. There's WAY too many at this point, even top five is hard to pick. ALRIGHT I'll try...

Latias

Ultra Necrozma

Tapu Koko

Yveltal

Koraidon

...that's a lot of red Legendaries.

Latias I don't need to further explain, but probably Ultra Necrozma. The reason why he's THAT high up my list is because Ultra Necrozma IS A G O D. Like LEGIT, this dragon made out of PURE LIGHT is the absolute PINACLE of a Legendary to me. My other picks may be more personal than him, but in terms of what makes a Legendary a LEGENDARY Pokemon to me, THIS would be it. Heck, I'd put him above ARCEUS, make those two FIGHT FOR THE TITLE OF ULTIMATE POKE-GOD oh wait they already did

Otherwise Tapu Koko would've easily made it on second place. He's my next pick for a multitude of reasons. I think Tapu Koko absolutely BEAMS with personality. I love the Tapus all very much, but Koko is definitely my favorite. And I appreciate these Legendaries in particular because of their cultural significance for Alola. I think Alola may be the only region where Legendary deitys are not only KNOWN to exist, but play an ACTIVE role in their lives, interacting with the locals, protecting the islands, choosing ambassadors in form of the Kahunas and getting honored by the people of Alola. They're just. INCREDIBLY COMPLEX AND FLESHED OUT AND I LOVE THEM

Yveltal is my only pure nostalgia-pick I have to admit. Aside from me LOVING BIRDS and Yveltal being a KILLER BACON BIRD he was also the very first Legendary I ever caught by playing Pokemon Y. I may not hold much nostalgia for that game otherwise, but Yveltal definitely holds a special place in my heart.

Koraidon I just think is funny as heck. He looks SO STUPID when he's running. He's a cute goofy lizard throughout the game until he reaches his full energized form in the end and when he takes that stand he's just an ABSOLUTE badass and I LOVE that. While there's many other legendaries I could give the fifth place to, I wanted to give my appreciation for modern legendaries, because I do like the trend of some of them being included more in a personal quest. Getting to bond with them throughout your journey makes them feel much more special than others.

goofy ass lizard

HONORABLE MENTIONS: I have to give a shout-out to Rayquaaza, Kyogre, Dialga and death-noodle Giratina for being my old favorites. Xerneas is also pretty cool, I do appreciate magic fairy deer. I still think Mega Rayquaaza is THE ultimate dragon because I'm basic like that. I see badass Lung-like dragon I go WAOWEEEEE

Lugia used to be my absolute favorite as a kid but I HATE the way they've been anmating him as a 3D Model, he looks as goofy and unmajestic as one can get, what have they DONE to my boy... Meanwhile Ho-oh is doing SPLENDID in 3D, it's not fair 😞 Also shout-out to Ho-oh for having the prettiest shiny of all the Legendaries. And Galarian Zapdos is a huge improvement from the original one, that one also goes into honorable mentions.

Thank you for coming to my TED-Talk.

After reading the last Grimsley story, a cute idea I've been thinking about is the opposite situation. Nanu finally falls in love but it's been so long, he has no idea on how to approach his love interest and asks Grimsley for advice (surprise surprise, it's TERRIBLE ADVICE)

Even though Nanu is usually the one with a clear head and knows to avoid trouble, he's already gone too deep, and on a night out, they both get drunk and Nanu tries to confess with his liquid courage. Grimsley is the obnoxious wingman who spurs him on in the background, chaos insues.

Maybe s/o thinks it's funny, or pitiful, or maybe both tbh. Both barely remember anything the next morning. In Malie garden, Grimsley wakes up in a bush, and Nanu would kick himself if he wasn't so damn hungover. 🥲

cw: alcohol, drinking, drunken confessions

pairing: Nanu/Reader

Nanu invited you out to the Malie Garden with the simple explanation that he wanted to talk. You headed to the teahouse to find him standing there waiting for you, except his face is flustered that it nearly matches his eyes. You blinked as another familiar sight lingered nearby… Grimsley. He was sat down on one of the benches with a familiar white serving bottle and cups. It was clear what the two had been doing before you cake along. Grimsley's paler skin flushed even brighter than Nanu's own. Shaking your head, you still approached.

“… I…ve been meaning to tell you something,” he slurred, eyes even more lidded than usual. Grimsley seemed to clap at his words before downing another drink from his cup and pouring another. You grew a bit worried about him but kept your attention on Nanu. “I… I never thought I'd feel this way again…” He continued, stepping towards you. At some point, his polite jacket had been shed off, leaving him in his red shirt. The Darkinium Z around his neck caught the moonlight beautifully. His surprisingly well-toned arms were in your sight, too. “I can't let you go… It'll be the second-worst mistake I'd ever make…” Hands grasped your arms desperately, “Look, I'm an old man, I get it, but there's nothing more I want than to spend my days with you.”

It was… Surprisingly, romantic. You were not sure if being drunk made him less prickly with his words, or if he was just like this about his feelings. Either way, it made your heart flutter… Nanu... A confession from him was truly something that you had wanted to hear. Even if Grimsley's cheering in the background subtly ruined the moment. You nodded in reply to his words, wondering if he would even remember this come the morning. It definitely would be something to bring back up when he was in a clearer headspace. His current status… Well, you wondered if he was even that aware of what he was saying. A sigh left him.

Then, he let you go and wandered off to go lay down on the bench. For a moment, you wondered if you should get them both back to his home, but it seemed a bit difficult. Nanu was not the type to stir easily, and Grimsley was not the easiest person to work with. The Tapu would not let anything happen to Nanu, so there was little to worry about there. And… Grimsley was like a cockroach. He would be fine. For now, you let yourself wander off. Tomorrow would come, and you would talk then.

~

Nanu woke up with a pounding headache and Acerola staring down at him in a panic. His back hurt and the felt like he was baking alive. The Alolan sun shined right down on him. The girl looked at him in mild disappointment. He let out a sigh as he sat up. Grimsley... Why did he agree to have drinks with him? He was no lightweight, but the gambler was something else. He looked around and realised that he had passed out in the garden. Shame should have entered his mind, but he grew apathetic to it years ago. Instead, he caught a sight of Grimsley passed out in a bush.

He felt Acerola help sit him up, but he shook his head and dismissed her. This was nothing for her to worry about. Pulling out his phone, he checked the time. It was already nearly noon. Embarrassing. But, a message caught his eye as he looked things. “Lets talk about last night today, okay?” From… you. What had he said? His brain pounded in his head, and he failed to recall. A sigh left him again. Great. A situation. Grimsley... Why did he drink with him? Part of him felt tempted to kick him while he was down, but he was not the type to trample on the less fortunate.

“… Acerola,” he spoke to the girl, “Can you make your Palosand take Grimsley?” She gasped and gave her signature surprised expression. Shaking his head, he stood up. “… Thanks for waking me up. I'm heading home. Don't worry about that guy, yeah?” He told her. She nodded and trailed after him as he wandered out of the garden, leaving Grimsley to the wild. She asked him questions about how he ended up like that. He opted against answering.

When you both finally spoke, he felt like banging his head against the wall. Sure, he was glad you felt the same way, but saying it like that…

He wanted to throttle a certain other dark-type specialist.

F/O Headcanons: Pokemon Universe Edition!

(More will be added with time)

(Also, many of these are inspired from headcanons I’ve previously read, so you may recognize them. Unfortunately, most of these have been in my phone for a long time so I don’t remember some of the original sources; if you do though, please message me so I can give proper credits)

Aromatisse tend to make potpurri nests

Nessa and Raihan are cousins.

Leon does not know how to break open a safe or pick locks… Hop knows how to do both. In fact Hop has numerous skills that are also a little shady.

It’s hard keeping a Riolu at their beginning stage because they are very loving, loyal and friendly pokemon. Don’t give your kid a Riolu because you will be taking care of a Lucario.

Phantump can possess all kinds of tree stumps (fruit trees, redwoods, birch trees, etc.). This gives them some natural variation in appearance.

Kirlia will often "intern" under Gallade and Gardevoir in order to enhance their psychic abilities. Which one a Kirlia trains under is thought to influence its evolution if male.

Magikarp are popular among breeders because they have a good amount of variation and produce lots of eggs. You can get Magikarp/Gyarados in various colors and patterns because of this. This is also true among Rattata, but they’re less popular due to people considering them weak and boring.

Absol are known for being paranoid. They are extremely protective of their trainers and will try to prevent any negative thing from happening to them, even if that thing is "leaf blows into their face" or something equally mundane.

Sylveon and Umbreon get along surprisingly well because they're both stealth hunters.

One popular textile company uses a stylized Leavanny for their logo.

Modern Pokeballs create simulations for the Pokemon inside that make them feel like they're in a large environment. In addition to making the Pokeball feel extra comfortable, they also help keep the Pokemon enriched.

Eevee and their evolutions arguably have the cutest courtship rituals on the planet. They start off by showing interest with short yips and sniffing, studying each other. After that, play-fighting ensues. When that's done, the pair share tiny kisses on the cheek.

Umbreon can spray poison from their rings. They can poison themselves if they breathe it in accidentally due to not being poison-types, but the toxins are pretty mild.

Leavanny can fly, but only for very short distances and not very far off the ground.

A popular rumor states that the more powerful the Lucario the more black they have on their bodies, but there's nothing scientific to back up this claim.

There are some that believe that Fidough evolve faster when around fire-type Pokemon. This claim has yet to be scientifically backed, however.

Young Vulpix will actively try to get their trainers to "hold their paw for reassurance.

The Leavanny line becomes incredibly agitated if they don't have any materials to "sew" with, so make sure they have access to plenty of greenery.

Absol live in isolation out in the wild, only coming together to breed and take care of their pups.

Jolteon oddly prefer sparkling water. Many theorize that the breed generally prefer foods that cause ‘tingly’ sensations as it’s similar to the hum of electricity.

Legendary and guardian pokemon in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos are so rarely seen they are thought of as myths. Meanwhile the Tapu guardians in Alola have shown up in people's backyards to mess around with their sprinklers and lawn ornaments.

Luxray are used as police or medical Pokemon in Sinnoh due to their ability to see through objects and strong stature. They are good at finding and retrieving victims and people who need assistance. Along with that they can be trained to listen for heartbeats and give electricity in a way similar to an AED.

There is a superstition in Johto that if an Eevee jumps into a child's crib, the child is blessed. Often times for baby showers, the mother is gifted an Eevee egg for this very reason. When the kit hatches, it is left in the room with the baby. If the Eevee stays by the child's side, but outside the crib, the child is destined to be average and live a normal life. However, if the Eevee jumps inside the crib and sleeps next to the child, the child will be blessed with fortune, prosperity, and joy.

It's thought that having someone with a positive aura take care of Riolu eggs helps them to hatch faster.

Eevees tend to mimic the personality and habits of their trainers. If their trainer tends to be energetic, the Eevees will get a share of that energy too. If, on the other hand, the trainer tends to be more on the relaxed and a bit lazy side the Eevees will behave like that too.

Popplio are frequently used for public performances and other forms of entertainment. It works out nicely, as it serves as excellent enrichment for them

Swablu's soft, cotton-y down is a favorite filler for pillows, especially because they shed it often. Nowadays it's more common to find synthetic substitutes.

Eevee’s love to be groomed and accessorized, especially on their tail. They don't like baths though but they groom themselves well.

Hisuian Growlithe/Arcanine are still found in some volcanic regions, but they are incredibly rare and protected under law.

A group of Chingling/Chimecho are known as a gong.

While Vulpix and Ninetales have incredible fur, harming one is considered bad luck and, in some areas, sacrilegious.

Also maybe you did mention this on your blog before but if it's alright with me asking... Where do you and guz go on dates in alola and what do you guys do? (I'm gonna include thoughts of meeting you/seeing you around when I think of kiawren 🤔😁😁) (@kiawren)

ooh i don't think i have rly talked about this much (or even at all LOL) but even if i had i wouldn't mind saying it again so you're totally a-okay to ask :3 !!

putting it under the cut so ppl don't have to scroll a bunch LOL but also I'M CURIOUS ABOUT YOU TWO NOW TOO- what do y'all do for dates and stuff? 👀

I think for Guz and me, our usual dates (that involve leaving Po Town fdsjkl) in Alola are: looking for wimpods on the beaches and just general beachcombing, neither of us are really fans of just... sitting on beaches fdsjkl we always gotta be Doing smth; visiting cafes to get tapu cocoa and malasadas and ice cream and all that sort of thing (Aina's Kitchen on Melemele Island is one place that is canonical!); watching sunsets from mountains or beaches (no way are we waking up early enough to see sunrises LMAO); museums and other touristy type of things (I think Guz wouldn't have done much of that bc of his previous angst lol so a lot of it would be new for him too :3); just walking around in general tbh, I love walking and just seeing the sights even in my own neighbourhood irl LOL; OOOH and I don't know if there's any canon spots for this but I like to think there's probably some really cool tucked away natural pools of water inside of caves that would be great for swimming and cooling off in, there's some really good mountains on the different islands for that sort of thing :O

i think most of it involves just getting out around the region and spending as little money as possible fsdjkl, neither of us are big on Big Romantic GesturesTM so we keep it casual and just hang out :] I think we tend to stay on Ula'ula for the most part but we definitely make it a point to visit the other islands as much as we can because it's good to get out and see different things !!! also because Aina's Kitchen is likely a favourite spot of ours so we'd have to go to Melemele for that hehe :3

New Zealand is beautiful, here is Wai-o-Tapu, which is Māori for "sacred waters," a geothermal wonderland located in Taupo Volcanic Zone. The area boasts colorful hot springs and geysers that are a breathtaking sight.

[cheemken]

They are gonna beat you to death

Anyways have more stuff abt them

•Iris' outfit is based loosely off of Lance's Let's Go outfit and Silver's outfit

•Hau's outfit is based off of his Sygna Suit outfit w Tapu Koko, but yknow I used it's shiny colours instead

-also Diantha's colours w his white and yellow shirt, and Dia's EX colours in pokemas for his pants

•i also used Dia's EX Key Stone colour for Hau's Key Stone bc why not

•Hau's eyes glow now bc I say so and bc Villain Dia's eyes glow too so it's only right

•my initial thought for Iris' cape was Lance's cape in Let's Go, but like,, idk this one kinda fits her better ig hahah

•Iris also has a DMax band hidden under her sleeve the same way Lance does

-Hau also still has his Z Ring

•was gonna give Iris a mega stone too but like,,, idk it's fun to think that even w/o Mega Evolution she's already strong as it is

•i didn't get to add her lil crown thing na I'm sorry but idt it'd fit this design of her imo

•also pls spare me don't mind Hau's feet I spent a lot of time drawing those bc idk how and ik it looks like shit but I tried okay chdmndmd

•anyways yeah hahaha

My partner and I went on a trip to Rotorua for a few days, had an amazing time wandering the town exploring! Last time I went there I was 16 and had just been through the 2011 Christchurch eathquake and didn't remember much of it, just the spa and Wai O Tapu.

Returning as an adult, not after a sudden traumatic event, was really refreshing and lovely. Had the best meal I've had in forever at El Mexicano Zapata Cantina, learnt at a pop up carnival I'm still a really good shot, had an amazing time at a karaoke bar with the locals, bathed in the hot pools, played night time mini golf with Flemish Giants, took acid and went on an adventure through Kauri park, and of course went op shopping!!! The whole trip was very cleansing and much needed, and I absolutely want to go back again, beautiful place with a lot of beautiful people.

Okay so this man.

This man. This handsome, very cool, awesome man. Is Guzma.

He is the leader of a gang called "Team Skull"

He is also part of the Pokemon universe/world.

He appeared as the team leader of the seventh generation of Pokemon.

Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

I don't want to give away too much if you haven't played the games (which you should) but he is the Team leader of that region and that is pretty much all you have to know.

His team is basically made up of older teens and young adults who have been abused and rejected by society because he too was abused and rejected by society and his parents.

However his team essentially goes around beating up you and your friends and the regions citizens by being gang members and spraying painting buildings and trying to stop you people from becoming champion.

Some details about him:

He's gruff, kinda showoffy, very aggressive and sorta this punk and 'get outta my way' attitude.

But deep down he cares about his grunts and crew and wants be the best bug trainer in the world and he has a soft spot for those who have been outcasted.

He's hard on himself, often times harming himself and going into rages when he feels he isn't good enough or strong enough.

Throughout the games, anime, Manga,and other properties he's in there are minor changes to his personality but overall each version of Guzma shares a lot of the same core characteristics.

He specializes in bug types (his main bug is Golisopod because it is a Pokemon that starts of very week 'wimpod' but evolves into a strong bug 'Golisopod'. So Guzma relates to that a lot)

He likes to drink Tapu Cocoa.

And he's super hot and my F/O boyfriend.

And I, Amber(Zesty) Iove him and only wish the best for him and his life and his crew and I would 1000000% give my life and soul to be a part of Team Skull, because they are amazing.

So yeah pretty cool if you ask me. :3

He is my boi whom I love dearly.

Ok. I don’t have Pokémon games as I have no room on my phone and no gaming console.

Thanks for the summary 😁

For the ask game 💜

💜/Purple:

What would your f/o do if you got into a argument? Would they eventually apologize?💙/Blue:

Your f/o is having a bad day.. How do you cheer them up? (+ Reversed for the other way around !)

🧡/Orange:

You and your f/o are going on a roadtrip! Along the way you stop at some corny tourist traps. How does it go?

Hi Opheliaaaaa :):) :)

I answered purple here😁😁💜💜💜

💙/Blue: Your f/o is having a bad day.. How do you cheer them up? (+ Reversed for the other way around !)

If kiawe's had a bad day he's probably stressed about his dream of studying dance abroad, like the finances and whether he will get accepted or he's worried and unsure about the future, like should he even be pursuing this? I don't think he'll feel negatively when he's tired, cuz it means he trained hard that day and he'd feel rewarded. But him being worried about his future is mentioned when I answered 💜 and also is actually shown in the game where he gets laid off from his part time job that helped him save up to study abroad and he requests for MC to battle him cuz he says "I don't feel like dancing by myself right now..." and "it seems like nothing ever goes right..."

AND I FEEL SO 😭😭😭😭 CRAZY THING IS HE HAS TO GIVE YOU MONEY AFTER YOU BEAT HIM IN BATTLE CUZ THAT'S HOW THE GAME WORKS (AND OTHER NPCS COMPLAIN LIKE NOO MY POCKET MONEY.. SO IT'S AN ACTUAL THING THEYRE AWARE THEY HAVE TO PAY YOU).. LIKE WUAUWHHGRHG...IM Crying. . Anyway yeah so wren cheers him up by offering to battle him, or dance with him. Cuz I guess wren has tried to learn the basics of fire dancing, so either they do basic moves together or Kiawe continues teaching him. If wren feels like Kiawe really isn't up for doing this stuff though and he just wants to rest, he's really great at just offering a listening ear and advice if he wants. And a hug 🥺....

But yeah wren will just start saying all the things that makes them believe Kiawe will make it and why he's awesome and why they love him and why they wholeheartedly think he'd definitely reach his dreams, and it's okay if he feels like he won't but they can face it together and wren will always be with him to see it realised or overcome the challenges together 😊

And of course Kiawe will feel like he's burdening them by needing some comfort or assurance and wren is always saying it literallt does not bother him like at all not even a little bit and he can always seek comfort in them... Sorry I'm looking through my recordings of the battle with him and I'm his words are so heartbreaking 😭

LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SINGLE 'SORRY' AS THE ONLY WORD ON THE TEXT BOX LIKE HES SO GUILTY ABOUT IT LIKE KIAWE SHIT THE FUCK UP. SHUT UP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IM SO HEARTBROKEMR I FORGOT HE JUST STRAIGHT UP SAUD "Sorry." STOP IY

Wow this next question looks fun and cute and wholesome and happy

🧡/Orange: You and your f/o are going on a roadtrip! Along the way you stop at some corny tourist traps. How does it go?

OH ABSOLUTELY ALOLA HAS LOTS OF TOURIST TRAPS LOLLLL honestly i can't think of specific ones but it's literallt pokemon hawaii so of course. Well if it's akala island kiawe would know some better places around the area with less people we coukd watch them from. Like at Royal avenue and the battle royale probbaly there's lots of tourists there. Maybe they'd be like Buy this Legit mask and Legit Pokeball the Masked Royal owned 😆

But I think primarily it's melemele island? Like the shopping district at the beachfront has prices so marked up.... So it's fun to pass by but not buy anything and maybe make fun of the tourists getting mid food when mallow cooks the same food but nicer and much more affordable at her locally owned family restaurant on akala.

Also some of the tourist traps would probbaly be like Check out this REAL scale that tapu lele dropped which is SO rare And it's like a piece of Plastic or like. This Genuine Flute that when you play it tapu koko will come But like not now you have to silence your surroundings and your heart yeah. And it's hilarious. I think the tapus are not fond of tourists especially tapu bulu he probably trashes their hotel room idk how but yeah

Kiawren generally just doesn't go to these places, but yeha it would be really fun to observe.

Wait i forgor to answer for the reverse part of the Blue question. I guess spending any time at all with Kiawe is my comfort, especially distracting myself by watching him train or talk about his day or his pokemon or alola or his culture I mean selfshipping is already what gets me through bad days so it literally means anything he does will be a comfort for me so yeah. He honestly doesn't need to do anything just breathe and smile
