It's a long way to the top when you just wanna train bugs.

And so I take on Ogerpon again and again, and slowly get to the point where my team is beating Kitakami Warriors but still not Ogerpon- even if I defeat her in the Hearthfire mark, the Cornerstone mask is always my downfall. I decided to teach Ribombee Skill swap, so she can change Ogerpon’s ability instead of always relying on Leavanny’s Entrainment.
First up is the Hearthfire mask, and Ribombee uses stun spore, that’s an opening move we’ve perfected. I know that if I can get it in, my Guts Heracross can finish off Hearthfire mask, as long as Ogerpon sets up grassy terrain at the right moment. So, Ogerpon kills Ribombee with ivy cudgel straight away, no chance to set up reflect or skill swap. I get Heracross out there. Land one rock slide- and Ogerpon shows no mercy, straight to another ivy cudgel and knocks me dead. So I’m onto plan b- Yanmega.
Yanmega uses ancient power- and incredibly, it’s one of the rare times when it raises all of Yanmega’s stats at once! And then, Ogerpon’s paralysed! Yanmega’s got speed boost and so now it’s way faster that Ogerpon will be with the next mask on- and an air slash finishes off hearthflame and Ogerpon gets out her wellspring mask!
I’ve still got Leavanny and Vikavolt there but I’m gonna make the most of this boosted Yanmega and set off a bug buzz, lowering Ogerpon’s newly-raised special defence. Ogerpon uses ivy cudgel again but this time, Yanmega is bulkier- and the next turn, Yanmega uses giga drain and completely destroys Wellspring Ogerpon and bringing Yanmega back to full health! At this point, I think I might finally make it…but I don’t want to risk anything.
So Ogerpon puts on her cornerstone mask. Yanmega uses giga drain again, which does some damage, but ivy cudgel knocks out Yanmega, and it’s time for Leavanny (who has much better speed than Vikavolt). I don’t want to risk entrainment while I’ve got a grass move ready to go, so Leavanny uses Leaf blade. Leavanny cuts through Cornerstone mask Ogerpon and I’m on the final stretch!
I decide to risk it, and use Entrainment to take out Ogerpon’s Embody Aspect straight away, cutting Teal mask’s speed. Then Leavanny uses x-scissor. Ogerpon is using slam, knowing her ivy cudgel won’t do anything against Leavanny, and could this be it? It’s looking really good, but it all depends on Ogerpon’s next move…
Which is…
Grassy terrain!! Leavanny x-scissors teal mask into oblivion and gets hit points healed at the end of the turn just to prove the point.
I’ve done it! I BEAT ALL FOUR MASKS! I don’t even feel sorry for Kieran, I deserve Ogerpon at this point, go cry.
What? Is in store next? I’m on top of the world, surely this team can do anything at this point?

The Troupe Master meets his Dear Wyrm in the City of Tears, and inspects his finest craft.
Illustration notes
The concept is to draw a meeting between Grimm, the Pale King, and the Hollow Knight. It's a bit difficult to translate from bug to human because sometimes it's not clear if a design element is the bug's body or the clothes they wear.
In the future I think I would design the Hollow Knight with pale hair (as with the Pale King) but for the purposes of this illustration & clarity, they have dark hair.
The dialogue I keep thinking about during this scene is "Fine craft, dear wyrm."

While on I'm physical vacation let's do something special and post some coords I made on a "vacation" from my main project based on Pokemon Trainers! The First one is based on a trainer seemingly tailor made for me from Scarlet and Violet: Katy
(Gym Leaders will not be open to requests. I post these the same way that I post unique stuff for special occasions such as my Cafe Remix or Pokemon Go coords)

Oh man. Oh man oh man. Hearthfire mask Ogerpon is just the FIRST ONE? And then the battle starts again and she goes back to full health and isn’t paralysed and gets her ability back but all my Pokémon are still dead? Aiiiiii man. I thought I was onto something, setting up reflect and stun spore and using Leavanny’s entrainment to take away Ogerpon‘a ability but I gotta do that FOUR TIMES? Oh man oh man.

Just remembered this as you had your new post - what is the political system of Olympus? Cause we have Zeus as King, Apollo as Prince (and temporary King), but in your post he was lobbying for Presidency? What is this political system? A monarcy? A democracy? What was Apollo going to be President of????
The political system in LO can simply be defined as "whatever Rachel needs it to be to write herself out of the corner she wrote herself into" 💀😆
