Hi!

Is it possible for you to do falsepretensesshipping (Grimsley x Colress), please? :)

Hi !

Nice request ! My pleasure, sweetie ! ;)

[mhizzberryart]

when the pretense is false idk

[ghostie-gengar]

Hello, hello!

This isn't really an ask, but I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying Unova Under Siege! Your writing flows really well, and I'm quite curious about Grimsley’s involvement (and Colress', for that matter).

I'm also wondering where you'll take the Grimsley/Colress pairing (since it's in the tags), but I should just be patient and wait. XD

My rambling aside, you probably know me better as the person who chatters in the comment section of the fic.

I guess you could say this "ask" is my rather unorthodox way of saying 'hello'!

omg hello thank you!!! :) i believe i recognize you from a grimsley/colress fic i read where grims was a vampire (which i adored btw)

anyways yes colress and grimley are a thing in unova under siege! but i do want to apologize to the falsepretenses truthers because they don't get a happy ending :( (the antigrav nation gets crumbs though sorrynotsorry) BUT in the meantime most of grimsley and colress' interactions are sweet little couple things mixed with the deadly mischief that comes with being in team plasma

anyways hello and thank you for the ask! here's a very quick and very shitty drawing of grimsley and colress

[antihibikase2]

"Audrea,"

"Giima," The name comes out of her lips with a laugh. "It's been awhile, hasn't it?"

"It has."

There's a twinge of shame as his voice quiets down.

For a moment, she hears the sound of a Bisharp's blades clashing against stone; it seemed whatever Grimsley wanted to talk about, it came to mind in the midst of his training.

"Has my, uh, present to Cheri arrived?"

"Just in time!" The professor holds the Pokeball between her fingers, inspecting the sleeping Purrloin from within. "I let her out for a stretch and some treats, and she's resting now. I'll give her to Cheri as soon as the kids get their starters and Pokedexes."

"Right, right. Thanks."

She ponders for a reply- perhaps she wanted to sneak in a scolding, to scold her younger friend for missing out on the chance of seeing how much his sibling, his brother, had grown and changed from when he had last seen him.

But she would not snag that chance away from Cheren, who insisted on showing himself to Grimsley- in the form of a challenger.

She settles for a simple "No problem," and a pleased hum.

Just as she thought that the conversation was over, the sound of Pokemon cries and their trainers' orders persisted in the background; Grimsley had not hung up yet.

And whatever he had on his mind, he was dawdling.

"Grimsley,"

Now her tone shifts to something familiar- the tone of a teasing, yet understanding, older sister; the reliable friend that Grimsley turned to back at Nuvema, when he did not want to trouble his mother or argue with his father.

"Is there something you'd like to tell me?"

"Um,"

So there was.

She rests her chin on her palm, eyes closed as she taps her nail against her cheek, the Xtransceiver on her other arm buzzing and vibrating from the background noise.

"Well, uh, about Doctor Colress-"

Doctor Colress?

"What about him?"

"You, uh, worked with him awhile back, right?"

"Yes? Not as much as Fennel, however."

But he was a nice enough individual; impressive as well. It was no wonder that he made a name for himself as a doctor- it was only a matter of time before the league caught wind of his skill.

He's been the league doctor at the very young age of twenty; almost seven years ago.

"Have you been acquainted with Doctor Colress recently, Grimsley? I know the heat gets to you-"

"Yeah, um, I suppose you can say that."

From the other side, she could almost imagine Grimsley fiddling with his scarf, face flushed and fingers twiddling-

And it didn't take long for the professor to come to a conclusion.

"So, well, about my call," There was an awkward cough. "Is there, uh, any chance you know what the good doctor.. likes?"

...

Just as Nikolai was about to leave his apartment, he receives a visitor.

He expects it to one of Ghetsis' shadows, or even any of the other bothersome sages- but it was just a humble employee of a certain fast food chain whose food he had grown quite accustomed to eating.

"I didn't order anything." Was the first thing that came out of his mouth.

If this was a prank, he will find who was responsible, and-

"Oh, it's already paid for, doc," The deliveryman says, tipping his hat. "Special request from Mr. Grimsley of the league."

Grimsley?

"You're a lucky guy, doc!" They chuckle. "Mr. Grimsley's got quite the fanbase- maybe some of us guys have a chance with Ms. Shauntal, now that we know he fancies you-"

The deliveryman shrieks as Nikolai's Porygon-Z silences him with a missed Signal Beam, burning a hole right behind him- and from the looks of it, it was on purpose.

Nikolai's eye twitches in annoyance.

If The Gambler reborn wishes to involve himself with him again, and breach their professional relationship for the sake of senseless human connections and sentimentalities through the use of his favorite food-

"Tell him thank you, I appreciate it."

-then Nikolai had no qualms; as long as the other would keep his hands to himself.

Nikolai does not need to try- he fakes a serene smile, one he has had hundreds of years to practice and master, and takes the paper bags of burgers back into his apartment.

Also 🌹Colress

Ah yes. The weird hair man.

yeah,,, I only really have 2. He's not a very commonly shipped character, and personally, I agree haha

Colress & Ghetsis // AntiGravityShipping

As I've said before, the classic. I recently saw some takes about it being fujoshi-bait, but I've seen that being said about any ship with a 5+ year age gap, which I think is really annoying.

Colress & Grimsley // FalsePretensesShipping

Not one I talk about liking, but I do enjoy it. I'd like to post about it because I think it's underrated but I can't really find places to put it since Colress is such an... interesting character to personify with quotes, lmao.

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

How many falsepretensesshipping/Colress x Grimsley fics have I written?

Mm. . .

'Bout a few.

And how many GrimCol fics are there on AO3?

Ah.

[colressmpreg]

low effort post. sighs

[xyami-mari]

This is so wholesome. Especially since my girlfriend is cosplaying Colress lol

[tenmadontyouknow]

..Does, uh. Does this thing work...?

Yes, it does. Be patient.

Hello, and salutations! Please, call me.. Achroma! I'm a Unovan scientist and researcher who currently lives in Alola. My nephew, Tenma, has given me permission to use his Rotomblr blog for the time being. I am 47 years of age, and I use he/him pronouns exclusively.

..Aaand I'm here too. Call me G. He/they, 44. Same ordeal as Achroma. I'm from Unova but I live in Alola now. I don't really do any science or whatever, just here on a really, really long vacation. Achroma and I are dating so I get Tenma blog privileges too.

And I, the Tenmaster, am still here!! You already know who it is! Tenma, he/they, 15. Normal type enthusiast extrodinaire!

// event time? event time.

Achroma is Colress under an alias to protect his identity, and G is Grimsley under an alias for fun.

Feel free to bother Achroma about Team Plasma and whatnot. Expose Tenma's war criminal uncle FOR FUN /silly

also falsepretensesshipping is real and canon trust

[xyami-mari]

The first encounter ~

But Colress was too distracted to notice that handsome gambler...

Grimsley's POV under the cut:

Grimsley wondered: will he ever meet that pretty scientist and his cute butt again?

lol
