#and i have an altaria guarding me

[wormholewandering]

be careful, it might be one of those "everything's the same except people have 12 fingers instead of 10" universes

most of everything I encountered was like,,, caves, wet caves, cliffs, nothing denoting any sorta civilization

I'm smack dab in the middle of Melemele Island

[m4rs-ex3]

i was gonna do one of my "so glad you (nobody) asked--" but y'all were actually thirsty for it so HERE WE GO

tdp characters as pokemon trainers

(dizclaymoors: not actual teams of six, there will be pokemon that seem very obvious but are absent bc i didn't think they fit the Vibes, sometimes i'll make a weird choice of pokemon per evolutionary line - occasionally there's a reason but most of the time it's for the aforementioned Vibes)

bold = ace / potential ace

callum (specialties - flying, electric, water)

emolga

gyarados - it's like if he adopted the leviathan

castform - weather, sky magic, you get it

altaria

frogadier - i cannot explain the choice to give callum the frog and especially not the choice of frogadier out of the whole line but. the Vibes

chinchou - felt like a mandatory inclusion

rayla (specialties - fighting, steel, ghost, [hah])

tinkaton - this thing has so much rayla energy it's insane

dedenne - this felt like such a given i was a little stunned when it occurred to me that dedenne really doesn't share that many similarities with stella. also callum and rayla both have pikaclones that is so fucking cute

marshadow - trying not to overuse legendaries/mythicals but COME ON

phantump

doublade - doublade specifically for obvious reasons

froslass - slay recognizes slay

ezran (specialties - dragon, fairy)

dachsbun - need i say a thing

dragonite - the most ezran dragon type there is

gastrodon - he loves giant sea slugs!!

frosmoth - bro would absolutely snag a snom and having it as a frosmoth just feels right

mimikyu - he would love this misunderstood baby

sliggoo

togepi - egg

bellibolt - frog

soren (specialties - normal)

these are actually all alternatives to his true team, which is just six shuckles as per that one post that someone needs to find for me

bidoof

psyduck

ditto

dunsparce - you might be noticing a bit of a theme

dragapult - i'm breaking that theme just a bit. this might be an association because of that one post about the dragapult where it's just inexplicably named zubeia

toedscruel - shroom

claudia (specialties - dark, poison, dragon [ironic])

malamar

hydreigon

noivern

sableye - this thing is like a more devious version of sparklepuff (that she won't murder [hopefully])

morpeko - cute little baby who's also evil

galarian rapidash - unicorn hehe

dragalge

terry (specialties - grass obvi)

eldegoss

lotad

shiinotic

leafeon

breloom

sawsbuck - hahahhahhahhah get it. tarngedner

(cannot choose an ace for the life of me)

corvus (specialties - dark, steel)

corviknight - this pokemon was made in corvus' image

ferroseed

galarian linoone

lycanroc

umbreon

janai (specialties - fire obvi)

arcanine

aegislash

armarouge

ninetales - giving her an arcanine and a ninetales feels wrong but they both fit her so well)

aaravos (specialties - psychic)

cosmoem - cosmoem specifically bc it has the "mystical cocoon that could turn into anything" vibe yk?

clamperl - please someone praise me for my cleverness

spectrier

lujanne (specialties - psychic, ghost)

lunatone - i know it's disgustingly on the nose but try and tell me she wouldn't have one

shedinja - she would love her gimmick pokemon

misdreavus

polteageist

runerigus - this would be her one pokemon that isn't like small and unassuming but this is 100% what she uses to guard the nexus like HELLO (it also is indeed very Baby in reality)

zorua - her disguise bestie

astrid + kosmo (could belong to either) (specialties - flying, psychic)

galarian articuno

woobat

meowstic pair - for the record astrid has the male and kosmo has the female. the Vibes just worked out

hisuian braviary

minior

bonuses!

runaan: decidueye - i had to

associate crow master: murkrow - i had to

kim'dael: midnight lycanroc - i just wanted to

i hope this was some tasty dough (/callback)

Pokemon Horizons Episode 63 Review - The Sub-Zero Shredder

This episode really caught me off guard. I did expect Liko to lose due to her opponent being Grusha of all people and the major type disadvantage she had against his specialized typing, but I didn’t expect Grusha to FAIL her. And there are no rematches too! What a twist.

I do wonder why the writers like to squeeze so many things in one episode. Before Liko’s battle, the kids were sledding with Cetoddles and learned about Grusha’s past as a pro snowboarder to a lot of accolades. Though, I do admit that it’s handled a lot better than in Episode 61 where it was clunky pacing-wise. I say this because the sledding part was actually important plot-wise as the part where Floragato was using her yo-yo to stop the Cetoddle by using the trees and snow to break its fall was used in her battle against Altaria. To be honest, I quite liked the Cetoddle sliding segment as they are all so adorable.

I like that the anime sort of did their own thing of how Grusha got injured and had to quit his snowboarding career. While the games only told the players about his past, the anime showcased that his injury was caused by an abrupt swerve to move away from a passing Cetoddle and it strained and hurt his ankle. Despite losing his career, he never hated the Cetoddle and even became its trainer as a way to move on from his losses. His injury wasn’t too bad and that he could return to the snowboarding world, but he knew he wouldn’t see the same results from his glory days. That’s why he became a frigid person—he’s harsh on himself and others because he has very high expectations and is a tough judge.

While Liko showcased her best battling yet, it’s not enough. I sort of get why Grusha failed her. I believe that he is looking for someone to prove he is wrong. That was why he showed some interest in Liko back in Episode 56. She was nervous in her match against Rika, but once she was in sync with Floragato, she showed off a fire she never had before and showed off how serious she can be while battling. That fire wasn’t shown in the match. I think what Grusha wanted was for her to show that enthusiasm from before but also produce effective results like being able to defeat one or both of his Pokemon. She failed that as he knocked out both of her Pokemon. I do commend Liko for progressing as she was able to outsmart Cetitan by stuffing its mouth with Floragato and using her yo-yo to pull Altaria to the ground. However, it’s not enough. Poor Hattrem got jobbed like the other kids’ second Pokemon.

I’ve seen some reactions online that Grusha is being harsh to Liko and that he should’ve passed her because she’s a kid. Being a kid does not matter in the Pokemon world. Look at Poppy and Nemona. Poppy is an Elite Four member—do you think they only gave her that position because she’s a kid? No, she worked hard and proved that she’s talented at Pokemon battles despite her age. Nemona may be a prodigy at Pokemon battling, but her title as Champion isn’t handed over to her because of her age—it’s because she was able to prove that her age didn’t matter when it came to talent. Being a kid doesn’t mean that everyone has to be lenient towards you and your growth. Sometimes, kids have to learn the greatest of failures in order to pick themselves back up.

I definitely can see a rematch looming. I think the upcoming episodes with Amethio and Spinel are going to show the viewers that Liko is capable and that she can prove to Grusha that he made the wrong call. I honestly can’t wait for next week. What are your thoughts on the episode overall?

[yourfaves-a-pokemaster]

Hey there folks! I'm back with another fallout prime pokemon team! So I know I did cooper as The Ghoul the other day, but I wanted to do pre-war Cooper and his team too! I think I'll do Lucy next ^^ but yall aren't here for me, you're here for the teams so....

Team Cooper

1. Rapidash

Well of course he needs a horse like pokemon during this time. I'd imagine she's been in a few of his movies too. I headcanon that he raised her from a ponyta and was probably one of his first pokemon.

2. Arcanine

Cmon guys...you didn't think I'd not give him another dog right? Just this fellows a bit bigger and he can be ridden around on. He often challenges rapidash to races, and they're always pretty close.

3. Altaria

Okay so...hear me out. Altaria was a swablu that Barb got Coop for an anniversary, possibly their first wedding anniversary. She was originally intended to be like a house pet pokemon but Cooper insisted on training her to guard the house. Altaria was a sweetheart, helpful around the Howard household and vigilant in her duty to protect her humans.

4. Duskull

Duksull was a late addition to the team. Cooper actually caught him to be a companion for Janey, possibly have him be her first pokemon. Despite his spooky appearance, Cooper's Duskull was empathic and generally kind. He was fiercely loyal to both Coop and his daughter.

5. Braviary

This one I feel just makes sense. Braviary I feel is a reflection of who Cooper Howard was: strong, loyal, caring, and heroic. I had the idea that he actually rescued braviary when he was in the marines, freeing him from a trap, and he just stuck with him since.

6. Excadrill

Definitely caught as a drillbur, excadrill was the bravest of Cooper's original team. He was also the longest lasting after the bombs fell, accompanying him into the wasteland for the first fifty years after, and staying by his side as his body mutated. Excadrill was protective of his trainer, coming off as guarded and vicious at the end...

And that was team Cooper! If you guys have any suggestions I'm up for it ^^ I plan to do Lucy next, so stay tuned! Thank you!

Skeppy Halo- M Sableye, Carbink, Impidimp, Gigalith, Lickitung, Gengar

Velvetfrost

(See I say that but I’ve only given Velvet one Pokémon sooooo…yeah)

Antfrost needs to have the fucking weed cat. We’re getting rid of Sneasel, not even a real cat, and giving him Sprigatitio. The moment I saw this cat I knew Ant was getting it

Velvet has a Cherubi. This is because I don’t know much about Velvet. I’m adding on a Milcery, because baking/cake related and it sorta looks like cu-*Gunshot*

HBomb gets a Tinkatuff cause I think it’s funny. We’re removing Sylveon

New duck Pokémon means new Duckie for Quackie! I’d love to give him a Quaquaval, but he’s gym three so like, damn boy. Quaxwell it is, swapped out with Golduck

Wilbur keeps his team. Was thinking of giving him Annihilape, but it’s too strong.

Switching Sapnap’s Infernape for Armarouge

F-Zero GP Legend Anime Headcannons➩Pokemon Partner(s)

{Before I begin let me just say this, you may not like the Pokemon partners I give to the certain characters I chose, that's ok}

(Anyways here's some Pokemon I think these characters would have)

Jody Summer- Stufful and Meowstic (Female),I think these Pokemon would be her Pokemon partners, then stufful will evolve to Bewear and it can be a useful partner to have for missions since she trained stufful with her brother as well (I will Mention his Pokemon partner(s)) two, Meowstic was once a Espurr which was gifted from her brother when Espurr followed him back home. It later evolved during a mission. Goodra is a good choice and may smother people in slime by accident which may cause a mess in HQ.

Lucy Liberty-Definitely A wigglytuff, reason why because it was a Pokemon she raised when it was an egg and it was a special one she found. Wigglytuff was once jigglypuff which had a high temper on using pound if she was threatened, And possibly tinkaton because of it's crazy ability to bash pwoplw with its hammer and may enjoy hurting passing by Corviknight. (this happened when it came out it's love ball)

Ryu Suzaku/Rick Wheeler-Altaria, I mean..it's a dragon type and flying type and it is a similar typing as his machine the dragon bird because altaria is a bird but with a dragon and flying typing. Altaria was a gift from his gf Haruka when she found it as a swablu 150 years ago. (yes, it's still alive since it was in it's pokeball) Altaria was a very joyful pokemon to ryu/rick very jolly to him and haruka. ryu/rick has obtained a key stone and a altarianite from the "lost" gift from haruka with the note saying 'use this at the right time with altaria' which may have shocked him though but used it which mega evolved. Dragonite would be a good choice too because it's a flying and dragon type, and I bet Dragonite would recognize Haruka with her Miss Killer persona.

Dr. Stewart-I feel like he would have a chansey and a jolteon(which evolved from eevee from a thunderstone) Chansey is like a helper pokemon since it can heal other pokemon and people with heal pulse. it's a great pokemon to heal the ones needed. for jolteon...it can help with electricity working at clinics to power things up.

Clank Hughes- Rotom, reason why I chose this to be his partner pokemon is because, Rotom can go through any electrical items around and help around the cafè and help Clank with technology. Although Rotom is a trickster so it likes to go through electronics just to mess with him. Rotom does behave sometimes. Rotom has been with Clank for a while. Boltund might be like a good guard dog that can also mess around with technology.

Miss Killer/Misaki Haruka- for starters she has 2 partner pokemon which is an umbreon and a mawile(can mega-evolve) although, she caught these pokemon it was not gifted to her and has found a mawilite that Mawile held. (When Caught) As haruka, she has had a yamper as a pet 150 years ago (it was also given to Ryu/Rick when the others found the other pokeball) Yamper was her pet for a long time and hasn't evolved yet.

Captain Falcon/Andy Summer: I Feel like he would have a Cinderace since rabbits are his favorite animal and Cinderace evolved from a scorbunny which was gifted to him from his sister, Jody, she found scorbunny injured and brought it to Her brother to help the poor scorbunny. Cinderace is very fond of Andy and very.. Very.. Attached to him. Now Cinderace helps him out in the falcon house cafe helping him with cooking. Then another pokemon came along. It was a litten which evolved into incineroar, this pokemon was brought in from someone in the cafe to let Andy know this pokemon was abandoned and started to take care of litten when it evolves, this pokemon was the important partner to bring along in times of danger. Incineroar knows darkest lariat which is commonly used in larger threats, it can easily knock out others which is a perfect command for incineroar. Cinderace and Incineroar do get along well, and Cinderace can be used as a back up and knows the move pyroball which it can be commanded. Braviary would be a great choice for his Bounty Hunter Missions.

Lisa Brilliant-I feel like she would have a Ninetales as her partner and also a sneasel, because I know she wanted to steal something and she can use Sneasel to steal items. Ninetales would be her back up to Sneasel, oh and a Sableye because it can help with heists and finding jewels.(Ninetales is from the kanto region)

Super Arrow- I feel like he would have a Rowlet... It's similar to his class of style and it was picked out from his wife. It evolved into decidueye, and it's a really loyal pokemon. A Noctowl, that would be a good pokemon, I just learned that the Owl he has is named Zukk, so he might be stubborn with Rowlet and Noctowl.

Mrs. Arrow-Her pokemon would be consisted with bug and flying types, I feel like she would have a beautifly and a Starly, I would feel like she would like anything beautiful. And when it evolves to staraptor, she might spoil it so much. Togekiss would be a good one because it's adorable, and may be in good use for strong fairy attacks.

[And... That's all!]

[maletofujoshi]

I literally only have one attacking move on my set up sweeper but it’s altaria so cotton guard + roost lets me set up 6 dragon dances against most physical attackers

[duskargentum]

Extraordinarily controversial bird Pokemon tier list

"Perfect, objectively":

These Pocket Monsters, or Pokemon as they have come to be known by people who are too lazy to type out the special e, are among my favorite Pokemon, even outside of the "bird Pokemon" ranking. Piplup may well be my favorite Pokemon. If not, it is in my top 3 (but, between you and me, I couldn't name the other 2 that would be above it...). I have been emotionally attached to Biblub since the war. We go way back. We still meet up to play games sometimes. Hasn't been the same since the wife divorced him. Anyway. Rowlet is also very good and is one of the only plushies I still own as an adult. I still remember buying it: I went to go buy dice at Chain Bookstore Name, and I walked past him. So I decided to buy him. He sits on my desk and guards the very same dice I purchased that day. Natu is an orb with psychic powers and wings. Swablu is very cute, and its Pokedex entry in one of the games in which it was first introduced states that it will sometimes just straight up fucking fly to people and curl up and nap on their heads if their hair is tidy?? That's the cutest possible shit? And, lastly, Murkrow is very silly, very funny, and very cool. The little hat? So cool.

"Exceptional":

These Pocket Monsters, or Pokémon as they have come to be known by people who copy the accented e from the "List of All Pokemon" url on Bulbapedia they were just viewing to check and make sure they didn't miss any birds, are most of the rest of my favorites among bird Pokemon that may or may not rank above other, non-bird Pokemon. I still really like them all, and have emotions or memories tied to them. Chatot is a fun little guy with a cool gimmick that was sadly tossed to the wayside. Also, I love Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. He's like a father to me. He was always the one to show up at my recitals as a kid. Wigglytuff only showed up when there was free food involved. Not that I blame him. Anyway. Starly is one of, if not the ONLY post-Gen 2 Pokemon that my mother has been conscious of. One of the Cartoon Network bumpers in like 200whatever had Starly in it, and one day when we were watching it together, she said "oh, that one's cute!". As she is someone who has owned and been around birds most of her life, I value her opinion in this matter rather highly. Also, Starly is always my starter when I play Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Wingull is always a must-catch when I start a new Gen 3 game. Love it. Honchkrow is like Murkrow but more edgy, the aesthetic here is on point, also Cyrus uses one. He uses both, but I forgot about that until writing this. Rookidee is one of the only post-Gen 7 Pokemon I can recognize. It probably beeps. And I love that energy. I would probably feel emotionally whole if I saw a bunch of Rookidee sitting on a phone line. Decidueye is a fun and almost wholly unique typing, and REALLY gives Incineroar a run for his money as my favorite final form of Alolan starter. Hisuian Decidueye's design is one of, if not, my favorite final bird starter final forms in the whole series. Altaria is Swablu but bigger. Swablu was good enough. Gets a pass for being a cloud. Dartrix looks like me in high school. Staraptor is one of my favorites when I play a Gen 4 game, its moveset is pretty diverse (Close Combat on a bird Pokemon??? fuck yeah). Empoleon is the final form of Biblub, and its unique typing is giving it a lot of points. Its design is fine. Its moveset is OK. Biblub carries the hell out of this line. Hoothoot is round. Corvisquire (who's name I just had to look up again) is fine, and is not the Pokemon in this entry, that is Corviknight. I didn't play any games past Gen 7, could you tell? Anyway, Corviknight is the type of Pokemon that I would have killed to have irl between the ages of 14 and 17. Honestly, I might still maim or injure to have one. Pidgeot carried the hell out of the postgame of Platinum for me as a kid. Don't know how. I distinctly remember teaching it Heat Wave and then it was over for everyone that stood in my way, or something. A Pidgey named Ken is featured in an episode of the Pokemon anime that moved me so deeply and thoroughly that I actually named a Pidgey I caught in HGSS as a kid "Ken". Swanna is pretty and also a shopkeeper in one of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games I have played little of.

"Pretty good":

These Pocket Monsters, or Pokémon by people who still have that accented e copied to their clipboard, are creatures that are on the high end of mid to me. There's a few legendaries here because I think legendaries are legendarily overhyped. But some of them are still good. Pidove is very cute. Prinplup puts the "mid" in "mid-stage evolution". Articuno has an ice dual-typing, which is one of my favorite types, and is blue, which is one of my favorite colors. Ho-oh has a hyphen in its name, which made it difficult for me to understand how to pronounce when I was six. Pikipek looks like Pearl (Steven Universe) and is very pointy. Ducklett is blue and its encounter method is unique. Icecue Eiscue is from a generation that I didn't play, but I heard people don't like it for some reason. I think it's cute. I also had to really flounder to try and find out how to spell its name. Fletchling is very cute, very powerful, and evolves into a cool typing that definitely isn't shared by any legendary Pokemon, and its cry lives in my head rent-free. Oricorio's variety of forms is very unique, and it seems criminally underrated. Quaxly is possibly the starter I might have picked if I had played ScarVi (though Sprigatito is probably the one I would have picked, realistically). Noctowl is not round, but it is cool.

"Like 'em fine enough":

These Pocket Monsters, or Pokemon to people who are tired of this bit, are sorted in no particular order as Pokemon that I think are the middling middle of mid. Not bad, just not stand-out. Most of the rest of the legendaries are here because I think they're overplayed. Tranquil/Unfezant are near the top here because Pidove is near the top of the tier above. Staravia is kinda far from the other forms of Starly because it killed me once in Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Don't ask me how, I was a kid. Yveltal is a box legendary. Talonflame is objectively above Fletchinder but they're both pretty OK as far as designs go, but Talonflame is a pretty alright Pokemon to have in mid-late game in Gen 6. Shame they don't want to talk about this line anymore. Torchic is my least favorite bird starter and I've gone on record to say this and will say it again. Skarmory's alright. Apparently, everyone thinks it's gen 3 but it's gen 2. Delibird is in a couple of specials, and I remember specifically where it's located in Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs. Pidgeotto is another mid mid-stage. Doduo is cool because it's based on an extinct bird, but does it truly need a second head? Sirfetch'd is cool, comparatively, but I never played that game and I heard its evolution method is annoying. Psyduck is a classic, but only is so because it's old. Zapdos/Moltres are here. Fletchinder is fine. Bombirdier is from a game I didn't play but I think it's design is OK. Xatu is a big downgrade from Natu but I still think it's pretty cool. Honestly it should be a tier above. Pelipper is a go-to for Surf/Fly in gen 3 games.

"Just Kind of OK":

These Pokemon, or Pocket Monsters to the people who got used to the bit and are committing to it, are ones that I don't have any real opinion on. A lot of Pokemon in this tier are ones I have no real experience with and don't have enough strong feelings about to bother to form an opinion. Combusken/Blaziken are the progenitors of a long line of lazy starter typing choices in later generations. Mandibuzz gets no thoughts from me. Corvisquire has no standout traits compared to its final and pre-evolutions. Archen/Archeops are only noteworthy because they're fossil Pokemon. Spearow/Fearow traumatized Pikachu and Ash. Golduck is blue. It should be yellow. Farfetch'd has an apostrophe in its name, which made it hard for a child me to pronounce, for some reason. Dodrio... Must we have three of them? Taillow/Swellow are unnecessary; Wingull/Pelipper fulfill the role of early-game bird for Gen 3 just fine. They're also the only early-game bird with only 2 stages of evolution, which makes them less memorable. Braviary. Hawlucha has... Had a unique typing and concept but apparently that was stolen by another Pokemon further down this list. Squawkabilly has a name that feels too long, also I don't even know if there are bird Pokemon that I'm missing because it feels like an early game bird that should have three stages but I can't care enough to find the other 2. Fezendipity is naughty, apparently. And maybe a killer? And also perhaps a reanimated corpse? Let's move past that.

"Not a huge fan":

These Pokemon, or Pokemon if you're a voice actor in the 4Kids dub of the anime, are mostly Pokemon from games that I've never played with designs I don't like. Flamigo stole from Hawlucha, which made me sympathetic for Hawlucha. Cramorant is eating Pikachu? Quaxly's evolutions, who's names I don't know because I forgot them after looking through the list and I've been working on this for like half an hour and don't want to re-look them up because I want to be done with this already, are not good, imo. And I think the mid-stage is better than the last stage, in a unique twist. Vullaby is wearing an eggshell for a diaper. Birds don't need diapers. They will shit anywhere, like Arceus intended. Toucannon is mad all the time. Toucannon's pre-evolution has a name that is not memorable. Wattrel looks like its going to burst. What is in that pouch? I hope it's not pus. Rufflet should be higher up on this tier if I had remembered to sort it. Honestly, maybe even a tier above. I think it's fine. I don't know why it's so down low. Wattrel's pre-evolution has a name that I don't remember, and it looks too cartoony.

"Why are you even here":

These bird Pokemon, or "bird" Pokémon if you're trying to be overly granular and analytical, may not even be considered birds to some. But they're birds to me, and I don't like them. Sigilyph looks like it's going to poke someone's eye out. Iron Feathers? Or whatever Delibird's Super Special Time Travel Whatever Bullshit Forme is called, has a fucking cannon. Put that away! Aerodactyl is only a bird if you think that it comes from an era of Pokemon history that is before Archen/Archeops, because they kind of did the whole "prehistoric bird" thing better than it did.

"This is a separator":

These are my opinions, you can like them or dislike them and mostly I just posted them because I felt like talking a lot about bird Pokemon. If you like the ones I don't like then that's fine. Opinions are formed due to a multitude of subjective factors that no one can ever predict, and are thus extraordinarily unreliable in comparison to facts. You may have a more correct opinion. That's fine. You're encouraged to have it.

I will not be making this tier list publicly available unless this gains too much traction before I close the tab, probably before I go to sleep tonight. Until then, it shall be forever exclusive to me. That's enough typing from me now

Casi and Lissie roleswap AU.

[Send an AU and I'll tell you 5 facts about it]

//Anon this one had me Losing It I put a lot of thought into it... I might write more about it eventually because I have even more to say about the possibility of her getting a mega ring from Lysandre and an Altaria as her mega Pokemon, but instead I focused on something else.

Casi is recruited into Team Flare instead of Lissie. He thought he was getting into a whirlwind summer romance with another scientist in Kalos, unfortunately for him that scientist is Lysandre.

Rather than [redacted for Lissie spoilers] Casi's role is to locate Xerneas and Yveltal in their dormant states. Kept largely in the dark as to why, moreso than even Lissie because I don't think Casi has the stomach for most of the more intense villainous team activities especially after her run in with Team Galactic. At most she might've helped with stealing fossils. Gets a Tyrunt which eases the guilt of threatening a fellow researcher.

Casi is the one who calls Lissie to beg for help once everything goes wrong. She can forgive and excuse a lot for the people she loves and trusts but I think after Lysandre repeatedly refuses to stop this and leave with her she more or less shuts down. If not for her Pokemon helping her escape (at the time just Sneaks, Basil, Hotdog, and the Tyrunt) she would've stayed there and died under the rubble.

Her ability to trust others is completely and entirely shot. Every interaction she has with a person from then on is viewed as suspicious and she tries to keep herself guarded. The only person she trusts unconditionally is Lissie. It's extremely lonely for her and gives her codependency issues.

Rather than staying in Paldea I think she gets restless if she stays put too long, convinced her Team Flare days will eventually catch up with her. Moves to a new region every couple years, further preventing her from getting attached to many people. Her Tyrunt evolves into a very protective Tyrantrum.

Bonus: Had she met Ingo and Emmet similar to the way she does in this canon, she would've dropped contact with them after fallen grace arc. She doesn't give relationships second chances anymore. She also likely wouldn't have stuck her neck out for Nix, meaning they stayed as somewhat friendly coworkers and that's all.

Okay, I'm in a place with better internet, here's my episode.

[It's a MewTube video, an archive of an old episode of Lisia's Contest Scouting entitled FIERY PERFORMANCES! A RISING STAR! Clearly, Lisia came up with the episode titles herself. There's no air date in the episode description but the quality indicates it must have been shot some time in the early 2000s.

After an opening credits, the actual scouting portion of the episode is shown. Lisia stands in front of a crowd at the Slateport Contest Hall.

Lisia: Hiiiiii, ev-er-y-bo-dy! ✨ Lisia here! Me and my Altaria, Ali, have come to Slateport City's Contest Spectacular Hall for a bit of FUN! ✨

Ali lets out a beautiful cry. The crowd cheers.

Lisia: Well then, watch me as I dive right in again today!

She spins around gracefully and strikes a pose. Some members of the crowd, spin around with her, though most of them lack Lisia’s grace.

Lisia: Dazzling, dizzying, doldrums defying! Lisia's…Miraculous…Contest Scouting! ✨

The crowd cheers again. One calls out asking her to “scout [him] as [her] next boyfriend” but thankfully he's ignored.

Lisia: All righty!✨ I'm going to bring another fantastic Trainer into the wild world of contesting! 💫

She puts her hand above her eyes and scans the crowd.

Lisia: Eenie… meenie… miney…

Her gaze lands on someone. She zips over to that person and the crowd backs away a little, revealing a very confused looking Mare and a starstruck Brendan.

Lisia: You there, watching me with that baffled expression on your face! Hi!✨ Have you never joined in a contest?

Mare: Wha- huh?

Lisia: That's just what I want to hear!✨

She grabs Mare by the wrist and begins dragging her up front. in an attempt to escape Lisia's grasp, Mare grabs onto Brendan but only succeeds in dragging him up front with them. Lisia doesn't seem to notice.

Lisia: Then let's get this show on the road!✨ This is the Trainer I'm gonna scout today! And her name is…

Mare: Wh- uh, Mare.

Lisia: Mare!

She strikes a pose.

Lisia: When I took a good look, I could easily see that Mare is a powerful Trainer, with several Badges of her own already!

Mare: How did you-

Lisia raises her arms in the air.

Lisia: Mare! You can enjoy Contest Spectaculars at the Pokémon Contest Hall right here. ✨

She holds her finger up like she's scolding a naughty child.

Lisia: Now listen up, because I don't just want to see you making your Pokémon strong. I want to see you bringing out a whole new brilliant side of them to show off! ✨💫

Out of seemingly nowhere she produces a card and some sort of container and shoves them into Mare’s hands.

Lisia: So here you go! Take these! This is a Contest Pass, which is the first thing that anyone needs to take part in a Contest Spectacular! And this one is a Pokéblock Kit, which will let you make Pokéblocks for your Pokémon out of Berries!

Mare: I-

Lisia: Your story begins today! Yep! And this chapter should be titled…

She waves her hand around and then strikes a pose.

Lisia: A Sudden Encounter! Miraculous Contest Scouting!✨ [giggle] That's what I'd call it! Now, everybody out there watching… You'd better expect great things from Mare, because I do! That's it for today's Lisia's Miraculous Contest Scouting! See you all next time!💖

The rest of the show details the immediate aftermath. Despite Mare being the one scouted, it was Brendan who took center stage with Mare only being a sideshow. Brendan gives an absolutely dazzling performance while Mare, meanwhile, accidentally sets herself on fire. One security guard tells a story about how Mare bit him, which the crew laughs off as fake.]

See, embarrassing. Brendan looks great, though. And yes, Lisia is vocalizing sparkles. Nobody knows how she does it she just does.

Also, I did bite that guy for real.

We're on the road with Brendan.

Feels nice not to have pressure.

My team comp has changed again.

He's asking about Contests. Apparently he saw my...

oh my episode of Lisia's Contest Scouting has aired.

oh

[gym-leaders-in-the-making]

Look at this cute little guy. I passed Fallarbor and went straight to the Safari Zone near Lilycove.

It took me three attempts to finally find and catch this little cutie. He, of course, inherits the name from the previous generation.

That isn't true for Manyface or Ezri, but mainly because they are Gen 3 Pokémon. And this didn't exist in the previous generation.

Then I surfed to Mt Pyre. I heard of Meditite residing on the outside of the mountain.

And look, who basically fell into my Great Ball! The perfect little Meditite! Her name is MC Hammer, because look at Medicham's pants and tell me, they aren't Hammer pants.

Of course, while traveling back to Fortree, Flash R gained a level and evolved. Nice, now it can learn the move Fly and I'll be back in Fortree in no time.

Wait. No. I need the badge from Fortree to use Fly outside of battles. Duh.

Also, while traveling back, Moshu Shi evolved, too. Since I'm a one woman show at the moment, I can't really use trade evolutions the traditional, the vanilla way. But, I could, and that's all that matters. I could get this Pokémon in another edition of the same Gen and Region? I can get it. But only at the places I could get it in another version.

For trade evolutions like Alakazam, there is a certain level they need to reach to evolve, now. It doesn't feel like cheating, because if I could get it using the actual communication methods within the game, I can get it.

Enough of that. Flying type gym leader. Of course she will have a Skarmory. Aka the most annoying flying type. But, as I have Pokémon with powerful electric moves as well as such with ice moves, she should be easily beaten, eventually.

And while I did expect to win, I didn't expect to need more than one try. However, her Altaria could boost itself up to earthquake everything, except Manyface and Flash R, but those two were dealt with in other means.

So I saved Manyface just for her Altaria and used her setup rounds to Ice Beam it. That worked. And now I could count 6 badges in my possession.

Next step would be to fly back to Lilycove and then surf on towards Mossdeep.

Ugh, Mossdeep. Tate and Liza reside there. I hate double battles, and they're forcing it onto me.

[scorchieart]

Happy birthday Scorchie!! 🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉🐂🎉 Have some Altaria wing pats for your troubles! ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ And while I got Pokemon on your mind, could you tell us what teams the princes would have and how they found each other? I know you'll just fill it up with cute wholesomeness!

The Ikepri Prince's Pokémon Teams

Oh, my dear Ox-Anon, you've done it again. Leave it to you to give me another fun prompt! Tbh, I've actually been wondering about these myself for a bit so this is a good chance to get it down in writing. I very much want to expand upon how the guys picked these teams and the kind of world they'd live in if pokemon were around, but I also don't want this response to be too terribly long or technical so I'll leave it at 3 per prince:

1 based off their crest

1 based off their personality

1 wildcard if they were allowed legendaries or mythicals

▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀

Jin Grandet

Braviary: Eagle pokemon, can't get any more direct than that. The two of them probably lounge together and snooze on the rooftop all the time, avoiding responsibilities and driving Sariel crazy. But they step up to the plate when they're needed and never back down.

Wobbuffet: Hear me out, Wobbuffet is all about nonviolence and it puts itself in the line of fire to deflect attacks away from its allies. It's also really chill and silly, so I think Jin could bond with it well.

Latios: Because Jin's the big brother of the bunch and is always looking out for the rest of them.

Chevalier Michel

Luxray: Of course, he has a level 100 shiny one with perfect stats and IVs, best nature, and EV trained to the max. There aren't a lot of tiger pokemon and Chevalier doesn't seem like the Incineroar type.

Chandelure: I can just imagine Chevalier staying up late at night in his personal library reading with this guy floating around. A quiet reading buddy and personal guard. Plus it can help calm his icy atmosphere since it's a fire type.

Raikou: Another electric type? It looks like a tiger tho, and it's a legendary beast, and it matches his aesthetic quite a bit.

Clavis Lelouch

Liepard: The only leopard pokemon I can think of, though I haven't really been paying much attention to the later generations. But hey, it's a delinquent and it's purple!

Mime Jr. or Rotom: I honestly can't decide, but I'm just thinking of pokemon that are mischievous and jolly by nature. Someone who can keep up with his antics and able to play a big role in them, but still be small enough to hide in his pocket when it comes time to make an escape. Mime Jr. has the advantage of being able to mimic all the complicated maneuvers Clavis does while Rotom has the bonus of being able to hide in and/or possess furniture and the like.

Suicune: A second legendary beast to rival Chevalier's Raikou. The purple thingy reminds me of Clavis's silky hair.

Leon Dompteur

Pyroar: A lot more lion options to choose from (haha, pokemon co. playing favorites?) He'd have a male one that's regal and friendly. Whenever they tour the kingdom, children flood the streets just to meet and play with them.

Salamence: Baby Bagon's a tiny dragon that always dreamed of flying. I think Leon related to it's struggle and helped it train until it finally grew into a magnificent and powerful Salamence. I bet they take regular flights through the clouds to clear their minds (think Hiccup and Toothless).

Solgaleo: Leon's constantly described as being warm and bright as the sun, so I think this fits the best. Got some sky symbolism going for it, too.

Yves Kloss

Delcatty: I can just imagine Yves bouncing around with a pink Skitty as a kid and them entering contests together. And the move Assist fits because he's always praising the strengths of his brothers.

Alcremie: A sweet pokemon to partner up with him in the kitchen. You bet Jin and Luke have tried to take a bite out of it more than once, and that sends Yves into a fritz.

Jirachi: Yves would definitely befriend Jirachi and share his deepest wishes with it, praying and praying they'd be granted every night before bed. Because Jirachi only awakens for a few days once every 1000 years, it is said that whoever meets one is incredibly lucky. But Yves wouldn't think of it like that when the time comes to say goodbye. (Ok, this got real heavy out of nowhere, let's continue...)

Licht Klein

Lucario: Lucario is calm, cool, composed, and an excellent fighter, just like our Licht. They're also both deadly efficient and see things through to the end, even if the end means sacrificing themselves (Hang on, I thought we agreed no more of the sad feels!) AND they both like chocolate! (Nailed it.)

Espeon: Gotta go with the naming conventions here; the Eeveelution for the daytime. It's also graceful and reserved, just like he is.

Zacian: The ancient pokemon of legend that protected the land from calamity with its legendary sword alongside its brother.

Nokto Klein

Zoroark: A tricky shapeshifting fox dark as night and based off of the mythical kitsune? Sounds like Nokto, hook line and sinker.

Umbreon: It's quick, sneaky, and strikes at the perfect opportunity. Paralleling Licht's Espeon but in the night. You just know when they were still Eevees they used to mess around with Yves.

Zamazenta: The ancient pokemon of legend that protected the land from calamity with its legendary shield alongside its brother.

Luke Randolph

Ursaring: These 2 were made for each other, seriously. Big bears, love honey, button-nose-adorable as kids... this stuff writes itself.

Vespiquen: Another honey-related pokemon, but I think Luke could tame her. Maybe he and Teddiursa used to raid her hive back when she was a Combee, and once she evolved they had a final showdown where he eventually captured her. It took a while to get on her good side after that, though.

Celebi: Free spirited, lives in the forest, and is a massive napper. Yes, I think they'd be great friends.

▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀▀▄▀

Can you tell I've been starved to talk about Pokemon for a while? Oh, How I wish I could just spend the entire day wrapped up in some floofy clouds...

Thank you bud for the kind wishes, and I hope you liked this list! Rock on!

Phoebe’s Team

Dragon-Type Team

Phoebe was scouted by Raihan as his endorsed trainer. The fans of the gym leader have been theorizing that she would be his successor due to how Raihan treats her as if she was his own kid. The little dragon is here to wreak havoc through the Galar Tournament.

Gif - Poketoons TV A Budding Dream

Dracovish

“Please keep a good distance from this fella, they’re not exactly… docile most of the time. I’d keep my guard up if I were you…”

Moves: Fishious Rend, Stomp, Psychic Fangs, Dragon Rush

Ability: Strong Jaw

⊖ Still as unpredictable as ever but Phoebe has learned to work with it. Often having the ally Pokemon lure Dracovish into attacking the enemy Pokemon in an ambush.

⊖ On top of Psychic Fangs to break any barriers allows the ally Pokemon the advantage to win against opponents who are trying to set up.

⊖ Raihan actually was impressed that Phoebe was able to work with such a Pokemon.

Haxorus ♂

“What have you found there? Ohh, those are such pretty flowers, you wanna plant them next to the others?”

Moves: Dragon Claw, Rain Dance, Psycho Cut, Bulldoze

Ability: Mold Breaker

⊖ He is very much the softy off battle, there were pictures during award ceremonies that Haxorus always offers to accept the boquet instead of Phoebe.

⊖ Raihan's fans found it really cute when he walks off on camera to check out the flowers in the far end.

Altaria ♂

"If you guys don't stop making trouble then I'll have Altaria collect all the dust he can find and bury you in it!”

Moves: Dragon Pulse, Aerial Ace, Dragon Dance, Steel Wing

Ability: Natural Cure

⊖ May look cute but Altaria is a beast as soon as the ally Pokemon made sure he stacked up on Dragon Dance. Altaria can hit hard in battle yet is as cuddly as a stuffed toy as ever.

⊖ Raihan sometimes finds Altaria cleaning Duraludon on ocassion Phoebe is nearby.

Dratini ♀

“Don’t worry! There’s no need to be so scared, girl. You can stay in the dorm if you feel too anxious.”

Moves: Rain Dance, Aqua Tail, Twister, Thunder Wave

Ability: Marvel Scale

⊖ The newest addition to the team and still too young to compete among the tougher battles. Phoebe is training her until she evolves, for now Dratini is only fighting the average battles.

⊖ Since she is baby, Dratini is often looked after by Phoebe's team and on ocassion is pampered by Raihan's team. Little baby, they can't help but coo at her.

Appletun ♂

“You just ate but you want more? We might have to put you on a diet some time- don’t pull those cute eyes on me!”

Moves: Apple Acid, Dragon Pulse, Recover, Bulldoze

Ability: Ripen

⊖ Believe it or not, if given the right berry he can be an unstoppable tank. Many new challengers doubt Appletun at first which is a big mistake as they are given a shocking defeat.

⊖ Phoebe often sees him trying to get treats from Raihan even when she already gave him some earlier. Raihan has a hard time denying Appletun what he wants when the little pie looks at him with those beady eyes.

[draftingteacups]

Love your story and wanted to ask if Soni will make purfume from moves like aroma therapy and sweet sent?

And what about making products from moves like sleep powder into sleeping aids?

Or the byproduct of moves like magical leaf in potions?

Will pay day make Madol appear instead of pokedollars?

What about making items from shed fur or scales from certain pokemon?

Why can I see Sliver sleeping on an evolved nimbus and nimbus taking care of him like a motherhen? (For some reason Altarias give me mom friend vibes)

Oh and using more ghost pokemon as guards during the night especially during the Halloween Magicam Monster event

Soni: so they came here to see ghosts huh

Soni:*proceeds to realse all her ghost types who prank them while remaining unseen*

Aw, thanks for the love for the fic!

Oooh, the first half with the perfume/sleeping aids thing sounds interesting 👀👀👀 I'm not entirely sure if she has a Pokemon with Aromatherapy/Sweet Scent, but it would probably require a lot to condense the fragrance from a gaseous form into a liquid form.

The Powder moves have always interested me, but they might also face the same problems later on in terms of production.

The shed fur idea is technically fulfilled by her Cottonee and her Eldegoss, but they are cotton. The scales thing is going to happen with someone on her team though 🤫

Honestly, you're not far off! 😄 Nimbus as an Altaria would just carry him on her back and say, "I have a new friend!" If he wants snuggles, she'll do so.

Imagine if that's how Soni meets Silver, being carried to her Dorm and just wondering who's missing a person.

Oh absolutely on the Ghost Pokemon protecting the Dorm.

Before the whole Halloween Week goes super-viral, Soni makes the point to have everyone sign waivers before anyone goes near her Pokemon, ones that restrict their ability to cause trouble against her Pokemon, harass them in any way, treat them like toys, or anything that would hurt them in any capacity and that she is not responsible for their injuries because they already acknowledged that aspect of the papers.

She's dealt with extreme people like this many times over ever since she's been Champion, and it continues to work, even in other worlds. So when the Magicam Monsters show up and cause trouble before getting kicked out respectfully, Soni's technically not in the wrong.

Any time that they try to refute her on social media, she says that they already signed the papers, proving that they already knew what they were getting into and the punishment associated with it.

Azul's watching this Pre-Episode 3 and just a tiny bit of respect grows for her. It's completely demolished after Episode 3 dw

Regardless, they just keep coming at night. Aegis just hunting people down and showing his full wrath as they invade Ramshackle Dorm. Swanna just vibe checking all the idiots who came to ruin its life and try to take selfies to get attacked full-on. The Ghost Pokemon do their damnedest to show the Magicam Monsters that there's a reason why ignorant fools go missing in the woods. 👻👻👻

Aegis is ready to battle and no one's gonna stop him. The idea of Soni dressing up for Halloween is just really interesting 👀👀👀

[calebwittebane]

i remember back when i frequented pokemon forums people would tell me its reduntant to have pokemon of the same type on your team even if theyre dual types of something else... literally wot are you saying. yes i have gardevoir altaria and latios. nothing about this is reduntant. you see gardevoir is a straightforward STAB special attacker with calm mind psychic dazzling gleam and then a free slot for whatever fancy stuff you want. but then latios is a type-versatile special attacker (with sp def cranked up to maximum) with draco meteor, thunderbolt, surf and ice beam, so you can clearly see the difference here, like there is 0 redundancy here. and then altaria is an entirely different story. sky attack, dragon dance, cotton guard and flamethrower. you see, she is a tank. she is a tank and she is also very fast. an all terrain vehicle of a bird. do you see now? get my gist? do you unduhstahnd?

[maletofujoshi]

I still need to figure out how to defeat Lin… mega altaria sweeps the first E4 member with ease, any of my fast rock types paired with something with heatwave decimates the flower garden duo (BUSTED field btw), mega altaria *can* sweep el with some help, and then Anna just dies to physical aegislash. Lin. The “252” EVs in every stat is sorta annoying. I’ve been very reliant on one shotting foes. I also don’t have any speed control to prevent scarf garchomp from like, destroying me? I think that if I can bait out her conkelldur I could set up against it using cotton guard and roost on altaria. Idk though
