......

A long drawn out sigh.

...sure, I guess I could try that. That's what the problem is. Maybe I should line all the signs with the heads of Pokemon and humans who refused to heed them. Stain the wood with their blood, while I'm at it.

[......you can't tell if he's kidding or not...]

[magikarpthegreat]

sorry if the explanation isn't the best but to answer your question about the v star card : in the tcg there are v star cards (so like v star Charizard for example) and every single one of them has an attack or ability that is usually extremely powerful or useful, but you can only use one per game (so if you use v star charizards move you cant then use a star Lucarios move) because of how powerful they are. the v star card is supposed to be used as a visual indicator so that you and your opponent know when each person has used their v star move for that game, you have them facing upright until you use a v star move and then you flip it over once it's been used. you can get acrylic ones too but those are only in boxes

Dude omg thank you so much! The explanation is perfect too don’t worry.

Honestly I have a pile of these cards since I collect Pokémon cards here and there but don’t play, so it just taunted me with its mystery lol

"trick or treat!" *magikarp-flops to your doorstep in a merman costume*

Tricky treat, magikarp in a wishiwashi tail costume

[inprogresspokemon]

Josokoi should've been an additionally official evolution stage in the first place, because I think that Magikarp and Gyrados' phsyical difference is too drastic to make sense for Magikarp to directly evolve straight into Gyrados.

I think that's largely the point of Magikarp and Gyrados, but as someone who enjoys bridging those large gaps, I definitely understand the feeling!

Janus: “I understand you are like little ants and may not understand the complexity of the world, but I am not doing this out of the kindness of my heart. There is a delicate balance to this world’s energy, Mnemosyne and by extension their untrained kits are not flowing with the rest of that. They are similar to a Magikarp swimming against the current of a river. If left unchecked it will eventually grow into an energy imbalance, and an energy imbalance in a Pokémon as powerful as a Mew is incredibly dangerous. My goal is to make it so they do not end up destroying everything.”

Harper's story

Harper was dropped off by an anonymous person via pelliper mail, she was very skittish at first and kept splashing at me whenever I got close to the quarantine tank she was in.

It took a while for her to calm down, having to be soothed via suckling (a natural soothing method where a younger magikarp harmlessly suckles on it parent's fins to help itself feel safe) which ended up bruising my fingers but its a small price to pay for a pokemon's comfort.

Harper is still getting used to people, now in Penny's enclosure as another new baby.

If Harper splashes you, please dont take offence! She is only a baby and is still quite nervous.

[franstastic-ideas]

*shaking your hand SO enthusiastically* OP, my buddy. my mutual who doesn't know you're my mutual, I actually only just found your blog today lmao, but all I needed to see was "silly fic writer??? check! likes Leaf??? check! surprise mention of Pokemon-based idioms? check! makes rare pair ships? unexpected check for something that wasn't even on the list. gets comment over sfw works?? oh FEEL that. It's a concern of mine." I don't have many unique idioms, but maybe you'll like one of them for your list. I think you have the usual, "Speak of Giratina" and "Holy Lugia" "Tauros Crap" maybe "Hurricane Kingdra" or "Curl of the Aipom's Paw" "Let Sleeping Ursaring Lie" "Jumping Jumpluff" "Into the Seviper's Den" "Don't Count Your Torchic Before They Hatch" "They've Gone Mankey" "Ekan's Oil Salesman" "Copperajah in the Room" "You're the Combee's knees" "I'll Keep Beating This Dead Rapidash until the Milktank Come Home" "Krookodile Tears" "The Skitty is Out of the Bag" "You'll be Sleeping with the Feebas" "Don't go on a wild Far-Fetched Chase" "Bite the Bullet Seed" "Mankey See, Mankey Do" "Pull a Buneary Out of A Hat" "Grin Mareepishly" "Don't Act like Such a Shuppet" "Bigger Magikarp to Fry" "The Best Thing Since Sliced Fidough/Slowpoke Tail" "Luvdisc on your Sleeve" "Wish Upon a Minior" "I Smell a Raticate" "Voltorb's in Your Court" Twitter = Chatot. "A Blissey in Disguise" "Wanna play Amoongus?"

(I don't have a handshake sticker so this will have to do-)

Well, welcome to my blog, anonymous asker! This is my main blog, but this silly fic writer is going to post all her future Pokémon fics onto a sideblog. There's nothing there as of the moment, but a character page for the female protagonists is in the works, as well as the previously mentioned four-act LA fic.

But yes! I love Leaf! I adore all of the female protagonists truly, but I have a sort of special bond with her since FireRed was one of the first games in the series I played, after Ruby. I was deeply disappointed when she wasn't the one up on Mt. Silver in HGSS instead of Red, for those who played as Kotone/Lyra.

I could talk about my AU's incarnation of Leaf for a very long time. Some of my friends here have seen me do so.

And oh, do I have some rare pairs! I have pairs that are so rare, I'm the one who had to concoct a '-shipping' name! Wieldershipping is one of them since everyone else was using 'Volokari' for some reason, instead of following fandom tradition.

And to close this ask off, here's a few more Pokémon-based idioms from The Document:

The Copperajah in the room

Jumping the Sharpedo

Busy as a Combee

Like a Dustox to a flame

Crying Totodile tears

Taking a Tauros by the horns

Packed like Wishiwashi

Making a mountain out of a Diglett hill

Bullying a Dragon-type

And finally,

"I know this is a joke, but just remember that if you go knocking on enough doors asking to see The Renegade, eventually it may answer."

[teamcuriosity]

Why is The Team Scam leader such a “regional concern”? Are you guys scared she’s just going to paint a fish again?

Hello anonymous one,

I understand that this question is sarcastic in nature, but it is a genuinely good question that needs to be addressed. Why do we want Marny found? Why is her absence a regional threat? Why would we mobilize our entire Hoenn network just to catch one scam artist?

The answer is simple: Marny is far more dangerous than a simple scam artist. Granted, she can't battle, and she certainly doesn't know how to solve any pokemon-related problems, but she has boundless charisma and acting skills that go far beyond just her everyday saleswoman(?) routine. To put it in simplest terms: her con artistry is so advanced that she could convince entire crowds of people to believe in something completely fabricated within a day.

The painted Magikarp incident was nowhere near what her true capabilities as a scammer are. The last time she reached the height of her abilities, she wound up being legally banned from the entire Sinnoh region.

I feel like I shouldn't need to elaborate much further than that. I'm not sure which region you're from, anonymous, but it's rare to see someone get outright banned from a whole region. It's a last resort punishment, normally reserved for those who have attempted to commit or succeeded in committing crimes that threaten the safety and peace of the entire region.

We want to ensure that doesn't happen a second time.

May Mespirit temper your spirit,

—Professor Marianne Hazel

[ask-beta-anders]

I used an incorrect quote generator and it yielded some funny results

Beta: you are my very best friend and I’ll do anything for you within reason! Ella: Okay, I want you to get a healthy amount of sleep, drink water, eat on time, stay safe and don’t get yourself killed. Beta: I said within reason, Ella. What about I kill that guy over there? Ella: So, killing someone is within reason but basic self-care isn’t? Beta: yes. ----

Ella: So, according to my university, it is, quote, “my responsibility if there is an internet outage to email the faculty and the department.”

Ella: Now, if you’re a critical thinker like me, you might be wondering one thing.

Ella: HOW THE F*CK AM I SUPPOSED TO EMAIL THE DEPARTMENT?!?!?!

-----

Ben: Hey, you want a tarot reading?

Beta: Those are Pokemon cards.

Ben: You got a magikarp.

Beta: ...

Ben: It means 'screw you'.

-

Josh: Beta’s gonna kill me.

Ella: No, they'll probably make me do it

-

Beta: Which is correct, seven and five IS thirteen, or seven and five ARE thirteen?

Ben: Neither.

Ben: Because it's twelve

-

Ella, when Beta walks in: Oh, hey, I'm just making pizza.

Ella: *accidentally smacks Ben in the face with the baking sheet*

-

Ben: Is this your plan B?

Beta: Technically, this is plan P.

Ben: Plan P? Is there a plan M?

Beta: Yes, but I fake marry Ella in plan M.

Ella: I like plan M.

--

Ella: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake.

Beta: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear.

Ella: ...

Ella: You mean ring bearER, right?

Beta: ...

Ella: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our fake wedding!

--

Ben: Hey, did you know as a kid I accidentally ate paper?

Josh: I feel like we've all done that at least once.

Ella: I ate it too-

Josh: See?

Ella: -On purpose...

Ben & Josh: ...What?

--

Beta: We've got to find a way to cut down our expenses. What can we live without?

Josh: You, probably.

--

Ella: You are a solid 11/10.

Beta: Aw, thank-

Ella: Which is 1.1 because you look like you got hit by a truck. ---

Ben: I haven't seen Josh and Beta for fifteen minutes now.

*Outside a nearby window, a car without a driver inside is seen rolling down a driveway, with Josh and Beta running after it in a panic. Ella doesn't look outside at all.*

Ella: That probably means they're getting into trouble.

---

Beta: Who hurt you? Ella: *crying* What, do you want a list? Beta: …Yes, actually.

-

Ella: Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!

Oh God, that's so funny and random,I love it

But I'll say in reality what would happen in these quotes:

1.I normally would take Ella's words,but like acting cocky about not needing them and Ella would go mad and bother me about it.

2.Ella is smart,I admit, she's like a Dr Eggman but female,but she has compassion and love for everyone.

3.Ben would do that and we would laugh about it,but being more elaborated on this one.

4.Josh would have killed me because they're much stronger than me, they're the muscle,and if they would kill me,they wouldn't ask noone to ask.

5.Normally I'll run fast to avoid such missed hits.

6.Yes,I do have a plan for everything, usually Ben and Ella comes with some ingenious plans, sometimes I do.

7.Hey! I'm the one making cheesy lines.

8.i can agree that we all did ate paper,just don't tell anyone I told you.

9.bruh, seriously?

10.She wouldn't know because I wear mask and glasses,even on my god damn sleeping sessions.

11.That's true,we would be in danger, we're like sonic and knuckles.

12.I am that specific.

Pretty interesting,thank for sending me this, anonymous person.

Bantia

Well... kinda. I mean, she didn't actually... say yes to a date yet... and we didn't... have a full conversation that was more than 'hello's' and 'how are youse' and 'you're needed in the northern sector', BUT Once she undastands my suave flirting techniques and falls for my undeniable charms, then I'll be spoken for!

Kou

You seem... confident.

Bantia

Like I said, I'm wearing 'er down! Only a matter of time before I get to hold those beautiful intangible claws and take 'er to the fanciest dumpster this side of tha lake!

Kou

That wasn't a compliment...

"I will eat your Switch."

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

I've noticed a lot of people commenting how humans eating Pokémon is weird, but no one really comments on the fact that Pokémon eat other Pokémon. (My HC is that most Pokémon would rather not eat each other, but as the carnivores can't sustain themselves on berries or plant-growths from grass-types forever, and humans aren't always available, they don't really have a choice. (Most just try not to think about it, and do their damndest to block out any of their prey's pleading or cries for help.)

[ Anonymous: (That said, some Pokémon are okay with hunting, since food is food. And it's not as if they're eating their own species! Basically, it's varied: some Pokémon are fine with hunting, others only hunt out of necessity, and so on. (I imagine there's also aspects of some real animals in there too: like, Chimps are near-sapient/semi-sapient and are also absolute bastards. And Tigers don't care if their prey is sapient as long as they get to eat it. So why should some Pokémon be any different?)) ]

i mean, the pokedex entries are very explicit that pokemon eat each other, and humans eat pokemon, and do so constantly. there is a whole implicit food chain there.

"Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty." / "For no reason, [Magikarp] jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump." / "Often targeted by bird Pokémon, [Wurmple] desperately resists by releasing poison from its tail spikes." / "They attack their quarry in packs. Prey as large as Mamoswine easily fall to the teamwork of a group of Weavile."

were i to compile every dex entry that made reference to hunting prey we'd be here all day. wasn't someone shown selling magikarp to eat at one point in the anime?

honestly my biggest thing about whether or not people in hisui hunt and eat pokemon is less moral (i'm not getting into pokéveganism here) and more just like. logistical. like how do you semi-safely hunt and capture food in a world where every animal has beam attacks? this goes back to the broader question of how the, like, survey corps defend themselves without the company of a partner pokémon, which not all of them seem to have. people can just hold their own against pokemon? and win consistently enough that it's not a complete last-ditch strategy? pla is a secret soulsborne tbh. monstrous enemies way overpowered compared to yourself that somehow people manage to survive against

[water-pokemon-appreciator]

Sup! Primrose here, and I also have a rescue Gyrados. His name is Cetus, and he is doing pretty well! His original owner had him in a really bad tank as a Magikarp before he was arrested for an unrelated crime. I took in Cetus and aside from not being able to survive in the wild and having some stunted growth, he is doing quite well. Especially with Apophis. The two are usually just lounging by the lake and enjoying their company as two traumatized introverts.

Im assuming this wasnt meant to be anonymous but!!!

Thats fucked up... Im glad you were able to take care of him!!!

[hoennsgeologyboy]

poison, dark, ground :)

An anonymous asker also submitted Dark and Ground, so I shall answer both askers here.

Poison: what's your favorite genre of music? That's a rather tricky one. I'm not sure I have a well defined taste in music. I like a little bit of everything, I suppose. I can listen to the radio with the grunts and be fine with that, or going along with the 80's stuff my dad likes. Sometimes I listen to classical music on my own, I like the piano pieces and even a bit of opera!

Dark: what's a misconception ppl have had abt you or your pokemon? Oh, must I pick just one? Being a part of Team Magma gets people thinking that you hate water, that you're aggressive or have a firey personality, they think it's alright to just attack you on the street or that you're stealing something. Being the child of the Leader of Team Magma gets people thinking you're some kind of evil genius mastermind, when in reality, you are of average intelligence generally speaking and you only know slightly more about rocks than the general populous. Then on a third hand, if I'm undercover, I am short, meek and wear large glasses. The perfect nerd stereotype, and I get all of the wonderful mistreatment that goes with that as well.

Ground: how are your leadership skills? how often do you need to use them? Leadership skills! Ha! Don't make me laugh! I couldn't lead a magikarp on a string downstream to save my life. Thank Arceus I haven't had to use any such skills as of yet, but there is that looming future my father has set up for me. have no idea how I'm going to handle that.
