Ages of Ruin, Ch. 5, the Intruders Might, 6

Yukio took a step back, his voice trembled, “Don’t worry everyone, they are on the other side of this force field. They can’t reach us.” He didn’t sound confident at all and Dune flexed all muscles in her body ready to run. The Intruder chuckled, “You seemed so sure you where save little mew.” it said, “Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret.” it’s outlines faded until only it’s sinister grin remained

One of the Hollows took a step forward and the barrier rippled as it’s leg passed trough it. “The Barrier only stops me.” the Intruder commented on the goings on. Lilly was the first to act, she grabbed Kiara who seemed to have frozen up and turned around to flee. Yukio exchanged a glance with Dos then followed after her. “Run!” he yelled as he passed the others.

Dune moved almost on her own, she could feel Flake cling to her as she ran as fast as her paws would carry her. She only looked back once to see if the others kept up and that’s when she saw something strange. Dos had fallen back and most of the hollows had focused on him, but just when it seemed like they would get him he turned and activated a move she’d never seen before.

A clear field of energy like that of protect enveloped the hollows and they ran into it like it was a wall. She wanted to slow down, but Yukio stopped her. “Don’t stop, keep running,” he said, “we need to reach the rift.” Dune wasn’t happy with that, “But, …” she started. Yukio shook his head, “No offense but you’d just get in his way. He’s fought hordes like that alone before.”

She gritted her teeth and kept running, but she wasn’t happy with it. Finally the exit came into view. She looked back once more, but Dos wasn’t to be seen. She caught up with Lilly who was still leading the group. “Mom,” she yelled, “We need to wait for Dos, he’s still distracting the hollows.” Lilly’s eyes widened and she slowed to turn and look.

Her eyes narrowed as she saw that Dos was missing. She addressed Yukio, “When did he fall back, do you think sacrificing yourselves here will achieve anything at all?” she yelled. The others exchanged worried glances. “He’s not going to sacrifice himself.” Yukio rebutted. Dune stepped up to take her mother side. “Then what is he doing, you don’t seriously think he can get out of this alone?”

Shooting Star nodded, “Dune is right,” he said, “We should go back and help him.” Yukio shook his head, “We can’t, it’s to dangerous. He can handle this.” Lilly sighed, “As much as I hate agreeing with him,“ she said to Star, “we can’t go back, if any of us die in here it could spell disaster.” Kuro perked up, “Why would in here be any worse than outside?” he asked.

The rest of the group was now also staring at Lilly. She sighed again, “So none of you noticed,” she said, “I noticed that barrier weakening as we talked to that monster and I was also skeptical because the rift was completely unguarded. I think it’s luring Pokemon here to kill them and use their souls to weaken the barrier.” she looked at all of them, “We can’t risk dying here.” she reinforced.

Yukio gritted his teeth. “Wish I had known that earlier,” he looked back and Dune could watch him think, “In that case,” he concluded, “it’s even more paramount that you get out of here.” Dune exchanged a look with Kuro, she wanted to object but Yukio continued, “I’ll go back and help him, it would be better if not more of risk their lives then necessary.” then he flew of before they could stop him.

Shooting Star looked angry, “I don’t like this.” he said and Kiara nodded. Kuro looked less sure, “I think we should listen and get out of here, what could we even do?” Dune looked over and he looked very scared. “Maybe I should help as well?” Star suggested. “No,” Lilly rejected, “I’ll go. I’ll make sure that no matter what the Intruder doesn’t get their souls.”

“But what about you, Mom?” Dune asked, she couldn’t lose her mother again after just getting her back. Lilly smiled at her “I can open a rift to the Ethereal any time I want, so they wont get me. The barrier wont break today. I promise” She steppe forward and nuzzled Dunes cheek, “Please trust me.” she whispered. Dune held back tears and nodded.

The Ethereon turned towards Star and said, “I’ll trust that you keep my daughter save, I’ll return as soon a I can. Though that might still be a while.” Star nodded, “You can count on me” he replied, “and if you end up fleeing to the Ethereal, tell Zero what happened here. He needs to know.” Lilly nodded, “I will.” she said, then she headed back into the darkness after the two Mew and Dune and her group turned to head towards the exit once more.

Dune was sad and lost in thought, despite what Lilly had said she felt like she had lost her once more and so she almost didn’t hear the growl coming from behind her.

The Precure System's Follower PokéChallenge

This is Hanadera Nodoka, PokéMMO edition:

PokéMMO Hanadera Nodoka, who will from now on be abbreviated as PHN, has just moved to the Johto region and found herself with a rulebook of how to live life and complete challenges there. She's been left a different set of rules for different game segments, and this will detail how that goes.

This challenge involves friends giving me specific rulesets to make the game harder, so I asked some friends and some followers to help me out - some of these segments are left blank, so if you want to throw your hat into the ring and take up a section, let me know what section you want and what rules you have for me.

From Johto Arrival Until Beating Falkner - By Yami Bakura of @cosmosiscollective

I was tasked by Yami Bakura to Fight Falkner without utilizing the flying type's natural weakness, and that I wasn't allowed to catch Pokémon that could do that kind of supereffective damage until I beat Falkner. To stick with the spirit, but make the challenge a little harder, I interpreted this to work in a slightly more challenging way. The rules of this segment are now as follows:

I am not allowed to catch any Pokémon of types that would be supereffective against the Flying type (Rock, Electric, Ice, etc.)

I am not allowed to catch any Pokémon of types that would RESIST the Flying type, even if their other typing would be weak to it (So no flying types, even if the other type is grass or bug - Hoppip and Butterfree are BANNED)

Pokémon I catch MUST be of types that are weak to the Flying type (Fighting, Bug, Grass)

I am not allowed to use moves that would be supereffective to the Flying type, but neutral and not very effective moves are permitted.

From post-Falkner to Bugsy - By @shimotachi

I was tasked by Frosted Flakes to use Bellsprout on my team, though I'm allowed to keep Pokémon from the previous segment. While I can keep those Pokémon from the previous segment on my team, it is MANDATORY I use Bellsprout until beating Bugsy. I have to use Bellsprout to beat Bugsy, and if Bellsprout faints, I need to restart the Bugsy fight. I've changed the rules here slightly too, to make it more interesting. They are now as follows:

I must use Bellsprout on my team for this section. No boxing him.

While the Pokémon from the previous segment are permitted to be on my team, they CANNOT be used in the Bugsy fight itself. Bellsprout has to Solo the gym.

If Bellsprout faints at ANY point during this segment, I must also go back and catch a new Bellsprout to use, to honor the Bellsprout Tower monks.

I must nickname the Bellsprout

From post-Bugsy to Whitney - Nobody has claimed this segment yet.

Nobody has claimed this segment yet.

From post-Whitney to Morty - By @luesmainblog

I was tasked by Lue to a VERY difficult ruleset for this segment... One full of milk, udders, and breeding.

I must obtain a Miltank. I may use however I wish, but I am not allowed to remove said Miltank from my party until I have beaten Morty.

The ONLY manner in which I am allowed to heal a Pokémon's HP is MooMoo Milk. If I wish to heal their PP at a Pokémon Center, their HP MUST be full first.

Outside of Trainer Battles, the ONLY area I am allowed to Level Grind at is the Pokéathlon Dome

I MUST obtain a Payday Meowth and bring it to Morty's Gym. This WILL require breeding, as the Meowth in PokéMMO's Johto are too high level to know this move.

Unless the previous segments have made obtaining Bill's Eevee legitimately impossible, I MUST bring a Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon to Morty's gym.

From post-Morty to Chuck - Nobody has claimed this segment yet.

From post-Claire to Beating the Champion - @the-bar-sinister

You may be wondering why PHN is dressed in all black rather than my signature color of pink. That's Sinister's doing, given this rule segment. For this segment, I have to dress up as a Team Rocket member, and roleplay Team Rocket. There's a lot of things this could mean, but I'm going to be interpreting it as being a Team Rocket Grunt for this segment, and turn it into a ruleset properly. The rules are as follows:

I must be dressed as a Team Rocket Grunt at ALL TIMES until beating the Champion

I must ONLY use Pokémon that Team Rocket grunts can be found using in Heartgold Soulsilver (These are the Drowzee line, Zubat line, Rattata line, Oddish line, Grimer line, Ekans line, Koffing line, and Venonat line)*

*UNLESS that Pokémon's Trainer ID is not mine - These will count as Stolen Rocket Pokémon, opening up encounters with the Spearow in Ilex Forest and the Shuckle in Cianwood City

Most grunts aren't too friendly to their Pokémon, Jesse and James being an exception, so Anything I Catch Myself must have a Friendship Value of LESS than 150 to be useable. This can be determined at the friendship checker.

As you can see, followers! This run will be difficult for us!

We like that it's going to be difficult for us! It's fun seeing everyone's ideas for different segments! I'm currently in progress of segment one, the Falkner Struggle, and excited to post about it when I'm done!

If you'd like to claim a segment yourself and give me some rules, reblog and put what you'd like and the ruleset in the post body or tags! Replying also works! I hope you enjoy our fun little playthrough!

===> Smoothie: Evolve

The storm had come. Smoothie had managed to slip out during the preparations, only noticed after the wind and snow had picked up. Thunder roared throughout the swirling of the blizzard coming down the mountain passes, yet the small beast was not scared. No, instead he faced the oncoming assault with an unknown bravery.

Meanwhile, Morwen was frantically trying to find him in the boarded up house, even checking uncommon hiding places from under the beds to the highest rafters- a place he had taken residence with his father Paunch meany times. Panic set in as she looked to the warded door, starting to fear for his safety as she went to fetch her coats and stave to brave the howling storms (and whatever else may be in the weather).

Smoothie on the other hand trudged through wind with a determined grip into the ice, staring into an oncoming charge of lightning before-

The wind is bitter. It is filled with screaming of Things That Should Not Be Yet Are. It bites deep, even under layers of fat treated bear hides and warmth enchanted wool. The sparks in the air do not help, causing hair even tucked firmly under the hides to stand on edge as heavy foot falls are made through the driving blizzard. Had it not been for Roxy, her goggles wouldn't even be able to withstand the sheer or the near fist sized sparkling flakes of electrified ice that blasted with the passing of Howlers and Windrunners. Had it not been her wards against such abominations, surely she would have been dragged and thrown into the raging maelstrom higher up by not. Even with a sudden flash of lightning slamming into the ground ahead. Ground where moments ago-

Light. That's what his small body was enveloped in. Instead of being obliterated by a bolt, he instead absorbed it and the raging snow that had frozen fur stiff by now. INstead of perishing, the small creature grew sleeker, taller- once white fur turned into an auroral pastel purple with streaks of dark cerulean and crimson; the once fluffy tail erupted with a thunder crack into a jagged whip of ruby lightning as the streamers of freezing azure ripped along side it; the fluffy neck ruff dissolved into glands which erupted purple ice crackling with the storm's hatred- a single cry to be left out as Morwen shielded herself from the blasting radius of the wicked bolts under an arcane shell.

Where once stood an eevee was a different creature, nearly as tall his parents. Where once stood the small Smoothie- a beast known for his thick fruit smelling fur now stood something stronger, something greater. Now stood a Polareon, sending daggers of electrical ice at a Howler that had approached Morwen with a cry.

On this day, they would battle their way back to the safety of her warded home, only to be greeted by worried parents and partner.

🐹 Which would be your OCs favorite Pokemon? What kind of trainer would they be?

📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?

🎒 If your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?

For Cor

🐹 Which would be your OCs favorite Pokemon? What kind of trainer would they be?

So, I only really know the ones from Gen 1, and some from Gen 2 . . . . But I think he would be infatuated with Eevee. The fact that Eevee is so diverse in its evolutions would excite him. It doesn't help that they're so wicked cute. He probably wouldn't be taken seriously because he's so excitable and doesn't seem serious, but he's taken his time in training and loving on his Eeveelutions, so he shouldn't be underestimated.

📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?

The Use of Magical Trinkets. It wouldn't have a point. He would just bring up things he's found over the years of magical trinkets that really don't have a useful purpose, or can be replaced by a nonmagical trinket, and just gives his theories of why it was created, and why it's necessary to have them around. It wouldn't be so much of a lecture than a show and tell of his collection.

🎒 If your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?

You must really hate Cor to choose this question.

Ultimately, he would choose the three most sentimental things of his collection: From Niara, his mother: A hair ornament that used to belong to her. When he was little, he wanted to do things that his mother did, like putting things in his hair. He grew out of it, but still appreciated the designs, colors, and craftsmanship that went into the hair ornaments. She gave him one that he was particularly attached to when he was a child, with flowers made of amethyst and wrapped in gold flakes. It was a family heirloom of hers, but she had no daughters to pass it on to- however, Cor was the son most interested.

From Selim: A shard of "dragon egg." Selim won it in a game of cards during a time when he disappeared from the castle for a couple of weeks, expecting payment in the form of money but received that instead. It's possible it's just a broken geode containing minerals with high concentrations of magic, but as Harlofelp does not have research on dragons, it can't be refuted. Useless to Selim no matter how pretty it was, he passed it on to Cor, knowing that Cor would be thrilled with it. Though Selim jokes it's proof that he could give Cor any piece of trash and he would keep it, to Cor, it was proof that Selim cared about his family even at his worst.

From Arvek: Enchanted ink in glass bottle in the form of a sea dragon, with the enchantment causing the ink to go up and down like a lava lamp (enchantments usually die with the caster, so enchanted ink usually impact visual effects and not something that would prevent the use of the ink being damaged by the lack of enchantment). Arvek being practical and having a hard time understanding Cor's fascination with "useless" or trivial objects, it was a gift that Arvek could feel comfortable getting and know that Cor would enjoy it. Arvek had purchased it during a trip to the city on the sea, Soleviss, and had to miss an important date to Cor, so this was to make up for that. While Arvek intended for Cor to use it, Cor is certainly going to wait until the enchantment dies first, possibly subconsciously seeing the gift as representation of the middle ground he and Arvek found.

Thanks for asking! ^_^

Marcy giggled, spinning and spinning and spinning until she was so dizzy she could hardly stand up straight.

She doubled over in laughter, her cheeks aching from smiling so hard. Sasha and Anne both beamed at her, their eyes sparkling with joy.

“I’m so glad you girls agreed to come to this with me,” Marcy sighed, letting Anne take her hands, the taller girl pulling her forward and twirling her under her fingers. “I was so scared to tell you two how I felt.”

“Of course, Marshmallow,” Sasha chuckled, taking Marcy from Anne and kissing her cheek. “And you don’t need to worry about telling us anything, okay? We love you just the way you are.”

“I love you, too,” Marcy hummed, sinking against her. She swayed against her side, happily letting her eyes flutter shut as she buzzed with warmth.

Marcy still couldn’t believe she had somehow found the courage to tell her friends – her girlfriends – how much she loved them.

And that they loved her, too.

And that they were at prom.

Wow. There were a lot of unbelievable things going on right now.

“I love you, Marmar,” Anne whispered, her breath hot on Marcy’s skin.

And so the three danced, all smiles and laughs and blushes, hand in hand in hand. It was a bit awkward, with most dances being meant for two people, not three – not to mention the extra difficulty coming from Marcy constantly tripping over her own feet – but they made it work.

They’d always make things work.

Marcy sleepily blinked open her eyes, staring down a dark, endless hallway that seemed to fade away into nothingness.

“Don’t worry about that,” Anne murmured, gently cupping Marcy’s cheek in a soft hand, guiding her attention back to her girls. “Just focus on us, okay?”

“Okay,” Marcy purred, snuggling closer to her girls.

Sasha and Anne seemed to quietly fade away under Marcy’s touch, slowly flaking away and turning to dust.

They were slipping away like a dream shortly after waking up.

Marcy paused.

… who was slipping away again?

She opened her eyes, finding herself in utter darkness.

Whoever "she" was, anyway.

A Christmas Fairytale (Santino x fem!reader)

So this is my gift for the lovely and amazing @fics-not-tragedies​. I’m your secret santa babe and if you didn’t know how much I love you, I wrote you a freaking Santino fic even though I hate that italian bastard! LOL 

Hope you enjoyed this babe. Love you lots and Merry Christmas!

From the second you stepped out of the taxi in front of the mansion, you felt like you had been transported into another world.

And wasn’t exactly what had happened?

You had been taken away from the familiar grounds of your low-class neighborhood, in which you struggled to make your paycheck stretch and last for an entire month, and into the land of the rich and wealthy who didn’t need to worry about bills or school loans like mere mortals.

As the car crossed the city, you found yourself entering a winter wonderland of silver and gold decorations, the fields covered in fresh snow still pure white instead of the grey and black mess that happened when they immaculate flakes met the debris and car exhaust fumes.

Here the houses were well conserved and stood far apart, growing into mansions and small palaces like constructions that you only ever saw in pictures and your dreams.

Your destination was the biggest of them all.

The mansion sat on top of the hill, as a sovereign admiring its kingdom from their throne. It shone bright like a star in the distance and as the taxi approached the iron gates you saw the trees in the garden with twinkling lights instead of leaves, illuminating the path you were supposed to take.

You questioned yourself once again, why were you here? This was not your world. At most a fairy tale but in your life, those never lasted.

“Are you sure you’re in the right place, miss?” The driver asked, and you met his eyes through the rearview mirror.

He had a frown of doubt and confusion and you could almost see his mind comparing the elegance in front of him against the girl with her secondhand dress in his back seat.

“I’m sure,” you spoke in a fairly firm voice as he finally stopped in front of the staircase that would lead you inside.

You paid the man and wished him happy holidays before you stepped out of the car, mindful of the navy tule of your garment. The last thing you needed was to have a ripped dress to signal even more your lack of belonging.

For a few seconds, you stood there breathing in the cool night air that smell so fresh and pure unlike the polluted oxygen of the city. Your hands shook and your heart thundered in your chest as you watched the other guests making their way into the house with confident and relaxed steps.

They belonged.

It took some convincing to make your legs move, but finally, you ascended the steps, noticing the two men in impeccable black suits protecting the entrance, their earbuds well disguised and their weapons even better concealed.

You paused in front of one of them, voice trembling as you offered your name so he could check the clipboard in his hand. He nodded once, confirming that you were on the guest list, that you did not dream the envelope that had reached your apartment last week. You had indeed been invited to this gala. Even if you were no one.

You nodded back at the guard and stepped forward, the entry hall with its polished floors reflecting the lights from the decorations, giving you the feeling of walking on glass. Your heels clicking softly, the sound blending with the music coming from the ballroom.

Everything was beautifully decorated in silver, white, and gold, and as you finally stepped into the room hosting the party, feeling almost like you had been transported into a snow globe.

Every surface had been covered with artificial snow. Ice sculptures stood all around the room. The rich and heavy chandelier glimmered with crystalline light and the tree… Gods, the tree!

The biggest you had ever seen, and you could only imagine the time and effort it took the covered it with tinsel and glass charms and balls… it was beautiful and breathtaking. Especially the star on top. Made of silver and gold and decorated with small diamonds. You knew because you had retrieved it personally from the store, flanked by four security guards so you could bring it back to your boss.

“You came,” the smooth and velvety voice spoke right behind you, making a shiver run down your spine.

His timber was like honey to your ears and you fear turning around and finding he wasn’t speaking to you at all. Except his hand found its way to your waist and you could sense the warmth of his body against your back.

“You told me to, sir,” you whispered, glancing sideways as he finally emerged in your peripheral vision, looking like a dream in a three-piece dark suit, the only hint of color was the red handkerchief square peeking out of his pocket.

“It wasn’t an order, but an invitation,” he clarified with a small chuckle and you finally found the courage to turn to look at him.

“Aren’t those the same when issued by a D’Antonio, sir?”

His lips twisted into a smile, blue eyes glimmering with mischief and something else you didn’t know how to name. His dark curls perfectly combed in place and a part of you deeply desired to run your hands through it. Find out if they were as soft as they looked.

“Most of the time, yes,” he conceded, his accent giving his words a certain melodic quality. “Not tonight.” Santino offered a hand that you hesitated to take. “Tonight, I’m not your boss.”

“What are you then?” you dared to ask, fearful but hopeful for the answer.

“Your date,” he replied with that dazzling and charming smile that he always used before closing a deal. “If you so wish.”

Slowly, seconds ticked by as you considered his offer. You knew he was dangerous. You had been working for him long enough to see the fire and steel hidden beneath the suave and elegant mask that he put on.

Taking his hand now meant going deeper into a world of darkness that you only ever seen hints of. The golden coins, the secret meetings, and dangerous people that surrounded Santino and his family. Did you really want to decent to his underworld?

After another moment, you let out a shuddering exhale and took his hand, watching as Santino’s smile grew. He closed his fingers around yours in a delicate hold, before he led you to the center of the room for a dance.

Ages of Ruin, Ch. 5, the Intruders Might, 5

Warning! This page contains some heavy descripion of violence and emotional disstress! Readers discretion is advised!

It was like running into a brick wall. One second everything was dark, then sounds, images and impressions flooded into Dunes head. The memories of pain from countless beings threatened to overwhelm her senses. They had underestimated their opponent, it might not be able to reach them physically, but apparently that wouldn’t stop it from attacking them.

After a while she could make out individual scenes, like her mind was slowly getting used to the overload of Information. But what she saw then was the complete opposite of what she had hoped for. She saw the fight between the Intruder and the Old ones. Their power was otherworldly, nothing she had ever seen in her live could compare to it. And yet they were loosing.

Dune couldn’t believe it, but one after another, the creators of this world fell. The Intruder outpacing them at every step and slowly exhausting all their resources. It was almost impressive how It managed to control the fight, making sure it was never fighting more then two of the old ones at the same time. But considering what was at stake Dune could only feel horror.

It took a far to short time for the Intruder to win. The defeated old Ones laying to his feet, struggling to get back up. And it was at that point of the memory that the other Gods present for the fight jumped into action. There where hundreds of them and all came together to attack at once. Their attacks filled the void in a doomed attempt to stop the monster in front of them.

What followed was an absolute slaughter, one after another the Intruder dispatched the Gods surrounding him. If the fight between him and the old Ones had seemed one sided then this was the equivalent of a Tyranitar destroying a bunch of undefended eggs. And with every Legend that fell Dune realized, the Intruder would feel the pain and the emotions of every being in the moment he killed them.

Suddenly all those conflicting emotions rushing in made sense, she wasn’t just experiencing the Intruders memory, but the death trows of all these legends as well. She wanted to close her eyes and cover her ears, but since the memory flooded right into her head, she couldn’t turn away. And as she wondered how any being could stay sane with all this pain constantly rushing into their mind, the intruders emotions started to become more clear.

And suddenly she understood, these emotions didn’t faze the Intruder. No even worse, he reveled in the sensation. The monster was mowing down some of the most powerful creatures in this world, with ruthless efficiency and he enjoyed every second of it. To him this was not a cacophony of pain, it was a symphony violence and death. And he was the conductor.

A guttural scream welled up deep inside Dune, something feral, something primal. It cut right through the silence of the void and ripped apart the illusion pulling her back to reality. Now she could feel her Body shaking, the heavy breathing and her knees about to give out. If she where still alive, she was unsure if she’d survived that. But it seemed in her undead state she could just about handle it.

She looked over and saw that the others had come to their senses as well and they seemed just about as exhausted as she was feeling. The voice of the intruder echoed through the emptiness once more, “Well, did my little Litten enjoy the show. Do you believe my story now?” In was clearly taunting Dos and as Dune looked over she could see pure hatred burning in the eyes of the Mew.

A memory from just now resurfaced in Dunes mind. During the fight she had seen the Intruder throw a Mew trough a rift in space. She didn’t recognize that Mew, nor could she say where that Portal led. The Intruder grinned sinister. “What’s the matter Mew? Seen someone you knew, a sibling, a parent? Tell me who was it I took from you?” it mocked Dos.

Dos shoot daggers at the monster and growled, “I’ll make you pay for that.” “Are you now,” the Intrude continued to mock them, “and how do you plan on doing that from the other side of this barrier?” Dos seemed about ready to jump at the Intruder, but Yukio held him back. “Don’t fall for it,” he said, “He just wants to lure us in. He can’t hurt us from here.”

The Intruder chuckled. “Are you sure?” it asked and Dune felt Flake on her back tug her ears. She turned and Flake pointed to their sides, “Mom.” he said his voice shaking. Dune followed where he pointed and her plod froze. The space behind the barrier, which had previously been filled with the intruders weird black smoke had cleared and instead now there was an entire horde of Hollows.

“Guys?” she tried to get the others attention. And then they all started to notice. The hollows stood there silently their red eyes watching and the Intruders sinister grin hovered above them.

[AD-Gifted] a beautiful new collecton is coming from @dystopianailpolish who collaborated with @nailastrophic to come up with a collection inspired by the evolutions of Eevee. The third reveal is The Electric Evolution- inspired by the electric type Jolteon. This super sparkly holo topper is accented by holo flakes and comes with a separate bag of gold holo lightning bolts (there will be an option to buy without the lightning bolts too). This is perfect in 1 coat over another polish in my opinion but it can be built up for full coverage or can be used on a naked nail to just give a bit of sparkle. Photos show 2 coats topped with Seche Vite and then in the last few photos with Barry M Matte topcoat and then I used one coat of Seche Vite when I added the holo lightning bolts. Collection releases July 31st at 7pm gmt and I’ll be revealing a polish every day up until then. You can also check out @nailastrophic and @swordsandspoons for swatches of the polishes each day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBLP4wD7TY/?igshid=18umi3pmuiaeb

Frosta’s Glaceon was her first Pokemon. Frosta and a small Eevee were playing around together when they found a Regice. It was hanging out near the Fractal Flake, the runestone of the Kingdom of Snows. Regice actually is the guardian of the runestone and, when Eevee stepped into the room, she evolved into Glaceon.

While typical Castform can change with the weather, Frosta’s has been in the cold region for so long that it’s become a permanent Snowy Form Castform. Castform blew in from Salineas and lost its buoyancy in a storm. Frosta and her Glaceon found it and nursed it back to health. It then stayed in the Kingdom of Snows.

Snom and Vulpix are two young Pokemon that hang around the castle and hang out with Frosta as she grows up. Glaceon is like a mother to both them and she’s also making sure Frosta doesn’t hurt herself, even though she’s more than capable of taking care of herself.

Snover is Frosta’s newest Pokemon. Snovers tend to group together with their evolved form, Abomasnow, near the border her kingdom shares with Plumeria. However, this particular Snover wandered into the hotter climate of Plumeria. Perfuma found it and called Frosta, who helped chill it back to its normal temperature. Now that Snover follows Frosta around and likes to visit Perfuma on diplomatic missions.

Chapter 1 Chapter 3

Master Post

Words: 1,271

Summery: ' "It must be snow" Sleep thought aloud, lifting a paw to poke as the slow falling dots "I've only ever heard of it of course. Come on, it doesn't seem to be coming down that heavy, let's keep going."

Pecha looked back at the storm covered sky, nodding "they don't look too bad, it probably won't get to heavy anyways." '

 

It's time these two found some help, why not surprise them a bit?

Chapter 2

The two had been walking for weeks, avoiding trainers and other pokemon. Exhaustion clawed at their muscles, but neither could get much rest as they journeyed on.

 

Currently the two lay resting under a great Oak tree, its branches lazily swayed as a frost bitten breeze ran through the leaf baren Winter forest. Pecha glanced at his friend as Sleep slept- ha, the coincidence. Even with Pecha blocking the chill wind though, he would be waking any moment.

 

The Eevee glanced out at the frostbitten grass, only weeks ago fresh green and swaying in the warm autumn wind, bristle under a cloud covered sky as dusk neared. No matter the chill, it was still beautiful, only hearing about Winter from long staying Eevees.

 

Pecha looked at his friend again as Sleep started to shift, slowly raising his head. Pecha giggled, setting a small lick on the other's head.

 

"C'mon, we should get moving" the Eevees shook out their pelts as they stood, side by side as they continued their journey. Something crisp nipped their noses, a cold scent they had never smelled before.

 

It only took moments after that for something white to start drifting down upon them, Pecha sticking his tongue out curiously, only to jump when one landed.

 

"Those are cold!" He exclaimed, blinking at the frosty flakes.

 

"It must be snow" Sleep thought aloud, lifting a paw to poke as the slow falling dots "I've only ever heard of it of course. Come on, it doesn't seem to be coming down that heavy, let's keep going."

 

Pecha looked back at the storm covered sky, nodding "they don't look too bad, it probably won't get to heavy anyways."

 

______________________________

 

It got heavier.

 

Pecha pressed against Sleep's fur, wind blowing snow into his face. White blanketed the forest floor by a couple of inches already, the snow storm going full force on the pair as they stumbled through the new experience.

 

Step by step the two shivered against each other, every bush covered heavily in white and no burrow entrances lay beneath tree roots. They were trapped.

 

"D-do you s-s-see anyth-thing?" Sleep stutter, looking up at the night snow storm's clouds. Pecha just shook his head in response, burying his nose in his partner's fur.

 

Sleep suddenly stopped, fur bristling. Pecha looked up, fear filling his freezing body as a small figure approached. It looked similar sized to both of the eevees, but even with the two to one advantage, realizations flashed through both minds.

Neither of them had ever battled before.

 

Sleep still stood strong "who's t-there!" He barked confidently, ignoring the stutter.

 

The figure paused as though surprised, before suddenly hopping closer, right into view. Pecha and Sleep gaped.

 

It was another Eevee, but it's fur shone a light silvery gray, similar colored eyes squinting through the snow. It was a shiny Eevee, something they had only ever seen once and only for a short moment before Manti shut it into the house.

 

"Oh!" A chipper happy voice exclaimed, "what are you doing out here? I knew I saw something, but my friend didn't believe it. Come on, you need to get out of this before you freeze!" Pecha and Sleep exchanging a look.

 

"Y-your not bring-righing us to a trainer, right?" Pecha questioned, yet the silver Eevee only shook his head sadly.

 

"No, trainers are always trying to catch us for our fur alone. Really we can only trust each other. But if it's this bad outside I don't want to leave you two outside, that's just wrong" he smiled, turning away and flicking his tail for the two to follow.

 

And, after a moment of looking at each other, considering the options, Sleep and Pecha followed.

 

 

They stood before a great tree, it's massive trunk reaching to the cloud heavy sky. The snow still came down roughly, all three Eevee's coats bright white. Their mysterious cheerful lead shook out his fur before climbing up to a hole in the rough bark, slipping in. After a muffled exchange, the silver Eevee popped his head out again, beckoning below the the snow ridden Eevees to join.

 

The two shook out their pelts before leaping up, claws sinking into bark as they scrambled up. Pants escaped as they entered, exhausted and freezing cold. They looked up, hoping to thank their two hosts, only to go wide eyed once more.

 

Their savor was sitting next to another shiny Eevee.

 

The strange thing was though, this shiny had dark silver fur and eyes, not the common light silver.

 

Manti would have a fit knowing these two existed, especially knowing they will never have them.

 

"T-thank you for letting us stay the night" Pecha mumbled, sitting up from him ungraceful landing, Sleep sitting up behind "this is our first Winter, we only ever heard stories.."

 

Dark silver narrowed his eyes curiously "from the looks of it, you've never been exposed to the outdoors" Light poked him, resulting in Dark jumping in surprise.

 

"What he means to say, is it looks like you having some trouble. Did your trainer abandon you?" Pecha and Sleep looked at each other. They were these Eevee's guest, they may as well tell the full story.

 

"Well" Sleep started "it actually all started with me hatching.."

 

 

"So we've been travelling, looking for our friend" Sleep finished, pawing at the ground. The two Eevees looked shocked.

 

"There are farms just for breeding shinies?" Dark looked horrified, Light just shifted his paws in horror.

 

"Yes" Pecha confirmed, letting out a yawn "like we said, we've only ever seen one shiny Eevee before, so seeing both of you was a shock" the cave-like hole had piles of long grass laid across the floor, Sleep and Pecha curled together as the shinies mirrored. The two had always thought negative of Manti's actions, but they couldn't change it. They hoped their paths and Manti's never crossed again.

 

"Huh.." Light flicked his tail "so, you have nicknames, Pecha and Sleep, right?" Sleep nodded.

 

"Ya, when you live around so many Eevee's, it's just easier. Do you?" Dark shook his head "nicknames are a connection to trainers."

 

Things trailed off after that, with the dark sky starting to brighten outside. The snowy barely calmed throughout their story, so sleep was the only option.

 

Pecha curled around his partner, who started softly snoring only moments later. Nuzzling into the others pelt gave some comfort, nostalgia of the three curled next to their Pecha bush in a nest of bracken, leafs, and soft grass.

 

A tear rolled down his cheek, merging into the soft brown fur. They would find their Star, no matter what.

 

Someday.

 

______________________________

 

"Thank you for everything" Pecha purred, rubbing his cheek against Light. Sun shone down on all of their furs as if saying hello for the first time, the heavy snowstorm traces finally disappeared for good. It had only been a few weeks since they met, but both pairs would miss each other.

 

"No problem, it was berry nice to meet you Pecha!" Light giggled, returning the nudge, turning over to where Dark was training Sleep one last time. It had taken some time for Dark to fully trust them, but after Sleep and Pecha admitted they had never been in a battle before he sought to help teach some basics.

 

After some final words, Pecha and Sleep waved their tails in goodbye as the two pressed against each other, walking forwards, further away from their past.

 

Pecha didn't know if their paths would ever cross again, but he couldn't help but have a feeling their stories weren't finished with each other.

So my Eevee found a fire stone and evolved into a Flareon while we were on our walk yesterday. I honestly didn't plan on evolving him yet, so I haven't really looked into the different evolutions of an Eevee. Could you possibly tell me the best care tips for a Flareon?

Oh man. People really need to not leave stones laying around like that.

Some good tips for caring for a Flareon! First and foremost, Flareon have very soft but very hot fur, so grooming will need a soft-bristled brush made specifically for Fire types.

As for bathing, Flareon are capable of washing theirselves. Since their body temperature is so high, most grime or dirt solidifies and flakes off. However, if you have to wash your Flareon, leave a small and shallow pool of water and let them clean theirself. Too much water can hurt the Flareon, but a small amount will evaporate quickly and not harm them.

Feeding! Flareon are omnivorous, which means they eat both plants (berries) and meat. There are countless varieties of PokéFood out there for Eevee and their evolutions, but your average Flareon Food will suffice.

Hope this helps, and congrats on your new Flareon!

Here, cute little Eevee! Give these PokéPuffs to your good friend Braixen! -leaves some PokéPuffs made of rye, topped with teriyaki sauce and spicy jalapeño flakes-

“Rhaaaa!!! One thing is sure! I DON’T LIKE the too spicy ones!!!”

“Yeah. Irvin often gives - RHAAH, it’s HOT!!! - gives us poképuffsHHAAAARRH!! How do I get rid of that burn??”

(Eevee, watch your language!)

10-11-18 pink

my eevee is upset its too rainy to hunt pokemon at lunchtime. 

cream wash, acne toner, snail lotion, mysterious k-beauty sample that had gold flakes in it. too-faced hangover primer. 

peripera peach milk blur primer, pink cushion highlighter, gold eyeshadow, brown eyeliner ran very thin. more powder highlighter, sweet potato red lipstain.

I’m really not that sure about this trend of putting gold flakes in skincare. I guess it could work like shimmer, but it seems like a way of jacking up the price considering the microscopic amount of gold in it. luckily its basically inert, so it’s not doing you any harm.

Pokemon Cafe in Nihonbashi (March 21, 2018) - Part 2 of 7

As soon as you walk in, a member of the staff announces your arrival followed by a chorus of greetings from the rest of the staff. They also do the same thing when you leave, so you’re really treated like an important guest here! I’ll go through the procedure of what I ordered and how the rest of the experience was, but it’s going to be long, so I’ll put the rest under the cut! Be sure to read more!

Part 1 Part 3: see some of the decorations at the cafe (including flashbacks to some very rare merch!)

Everyone is given a tablet to use to order your food (and you can use it to checkout when you’re done eating). There are multiple language options on the tablet, so it’s okay if you don’t understand Japanese! 

You’ll find a Pokemon placemat on your table area. Each placemat features a random Kanto region Pokemon, so if you’re a collector, these are a must have! Just don’t try to ask for a different Pokemon though because then they would have to do that for everyone. Maybe if you’re really aiming for a certain Pokemon, why not pray at a shrine beforehand for some good luck? If you also reserved any goods ahead of time, then you’ll find a bag with those goods in it, and they’ll ask you to confirm if everything you ordered is there.

As for the meals, I ordered the Hidden Pikachu Carbonara, which is a kind of spaghetti with white sauce made from egg and bacon pieces. The Pikachu is made out of egg and the bushes are, of course, shreds of lettuce and other leafy vegetables. The Pikachu tail is a piece of chip. It’s not the best carbonara I’ve had, but it was good enough for the entertainment of eating at a Pokemon Cafe.

I also ordered the Moo Moo (chocolate) milk for my drink (you get water for free as well). The staff prepared it for me and went through the instructions so I knew what he was doing. You have the choice of doing it yourself or having the staff do it for you. Maybe next time I’ll try it! You start out by pouring the milk into the mixer, then add syrup, and then shake it ten times before pouring it into your glass. Then you can add the chocolate chips and cocoa flakes yourself as you like. It tasted it like Cocoa Puffs, and it was hard to enjoy all the chocolate chips because the giant ice cubes were in the way. It’s probably not enough of a drink for most people, but I also had water which I usually only drink anyway, so it was enough for me.

I stupidly didn’t realize that you have to choose an option for when you would like your sweets (either during your meal or after), so I waited a long time until I finally ordered my Eevee Chocolate Parfait because I couldn’t get it to go through. It’s okay though because it doesn’t take long for your order to come out once you place it. I think it took them about 5 minutes? Maybe 10 if everyone’s ordering at the same time.

The parfait though was very delicious, and I felt a little overwhelmed because I was surprised by how big the portions were for the meal. Typically at a cafe, the portions are smaller so that you can order a few meals and get character goods, but these are like full meals to me, so I would’ve been satisfied with the spaghetti and drink alone. 

Anyway, the parfait had several layers starting with a coffee ice cream (behind the whipped cream), two chocolate Pocky sticks on top with an Eevee cookie in front, a chocolate cake, more whipped cream, cranberries (I think it was?), more whipped cream, and some coffee mushy stuff that I can’t really identify because I hate the taste of coffee, so I avoided it like the plague. Overall, it was very delicious, but I was in pain trying to finish it. 

You’ll notice there’s a Snorlax clear card in the bottom picture. After Pikachu makes his arrival (which I assume he visits during every appointment, but don’t quote me on that), they’ll announce a special lottery. For every drink you’ve ordered, you can get a lottery ticket for a chance to draw one of the special clear cards (there’s six types in total including the Kanto starters, Pikachu, Mew, and Snorlax). I got lucky and I drew one of the winners in my row, so if you’re after any of these Pokemon, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to increase your chances of winning. 

I paid about 4000 yen (roughly $40) for all the food and drinks I got (not counting the character goods I paid ahead of time). It sounds a little pricey, but overall, for the experience and the amount of food you get, it’s really not bad at all. There are other meals or drinks you can order where you can take home the plate or cup if you pay a little extra. There’s also more goods for sale as you enter, so you can take some donuts or character goods with you (if you regret not reserving them ahead of time). You can easily spend a lot on your trip to the cafe if you’re not careful, so I suggest giving everything a good look and deciding ahead of time what you really want so you don’t give into the temptation.
