I think a guest left their Nintendo Switch here. I found one on the floor outside Fuel Egg's room.
I would return it, but I don't know who's been here, and frankly I do not want to ask GoodPuffer...
I wonder what a "Pokémon" is.

SO I HEARD POKEMON IS YOUR EARLIEST HYPERFIXATION AND YOU LOVED THE ASK FOR POKEMON X OP???
WE ARE MAKING NYARLA HAPPY WITH THIS ONE BOYS 🗣️🗣️🗣️ ‼️
Would you rather we ask you OP with existing Pokémon or some crack bs with OP blorbos *falling* into Pokémon Universe dur to like a devil fruit power or something?
Also who's your favourite Pokémon? And type? (MIMIKYU/SPIRITOMB FOR LIFE HERE AND GHOST TYPE)
I'd love if you could do the OP blorbos with a Reader who has a Mimikyu/Spiritomb (MY SPIRITOMB IS ALWAYS CALLED SPOOKY FUN FACT) and how they'd interact with said Pokémon/if their babies would get along with Reader's babies (DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP OF ASSUMING GHOST AND DARK TYPES ARE ALL EVIL I PROMISE YOU MY BABIES ARE SWEET AF 😭 TIRED OF MISREPRESENTATION)
My brain when Pokémon/One Piece asks:
keep your composure keep your composure keep your mfing composure what would Mihawk do he would absolutely keep his composure be like Mihawk keep your composure Nyarla keep your BUT but but wait what would Shanks do INTERNAL SCREEEEEEEMING—
My brain is short circuiting.
My primary type is psychic. Sabrina was practically my goth awakening at seven years old, and Abra is my spirit animal (immediately teleport away when presented with anything unfamiliar or even potentially threatening). My secondary type is ghost, in no small part thanks to the fact that I started writing "horror" as soon as I could properly hold a pencil ("horror" here meaning silly lil ghost stories that probably made no sense to anyone but me).
I was also the kid glitching out my game with my older brother's game genie trying to catch all the Pokémon ghosts in the tower in Lavender Town because I was so sad that they were lonely, so that should give some insight as to how I feel about ghosts, Pokémon, and ghost type Pokémon in general.
Any asks are welcome asks, I did not realize I needed Pokemon/One Piece in my life but I am
I am—
Tumblr media
I am not incredibly familiar with Mimikyu or Spiritomb (my last Pokemon games were Diamond/Pearl), but I will be doing research like a proper Pokémon Professor to learn as much about them as humanly possibly. I know more about Mimikyu and frankly the poor bb just wants to be loved and deserves absolutely all of the love.
Pikachu is overrated anyway. I said it and I will fcking stand by it, and Mimikyu's very existence only further solidifies this opinion within me. Out of all the iconic Pokémon in the original anime itself, Team Rocket's Meowth is and will always be my darling bb. Smart-mouthed lil mafia cat who deserves SO MUCH BETTER—
Ahem.
Brief reading into Spiritomb has, at first glance, enlightened me to the following:
Several Pokédex entries state that Spiritomb was sealed roughly 500 years before the present time. The Pokémon lays curses with its wicked thoughts. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short-sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance.
And I am beyond intrigued by every last word of that. Historical ghost Pokémon? Vengeful lil ghost bb? I want one RIGHT NOW—
On an unrelated note, tysm for this, I just had a briefly horrifying moment because my cat made a mad dash out the door as I was taking the trash out. He is back inside and safe now but I almost had a heart attack when he zipped past my feet and into the darkness, and this has helped calm me down so much 😭😭♥️♥️

what would the ssc kids favourite pokemons be? :3
i'm too lazy and tired to draw the characters with the pokemon, sorry... but i'll gladly name and explain their favorites!
hero - i think his favorite pokemon would be jirachi, because it's star shaped. i think chiffon or yao would maybe show him a picture of it, saying "hey, this pokemon kinda looks like you!", and he'd be obsessed instantly... but hero would also gravitate towards jirachi because it grants any wish. i won't fully explain anything because of spoilers, but hero would definitely want a wish to come true with no strings attatched!
chiffon - i want to say pachirisu because it's cute and tiny but also known for absolutely washing in a tournament, but also i feel like chiffon herself would really gravitate towards the quote-un-quote "ugly" fairy types like snubbull. she likes cute pink things as well as intimidating or cool/powerful stuff, so a brutish looking pokemon with cute aspects would appeal to her. i also think she'd be a big tinkaton fan!
mallow - she also likes cute things, but in a different way to chiffon. she's not very picky, and isn't the biggest fan of video games, so i think she'd probably have a simple pick like jigglypuff or slyveon. if she played the games, though, she'd definitely love mimikyu and bewear.
watts - watts would like a cool and sleek looking pokemon. he loves tokusatsu, specifically an in-universe one called "macho munchin' snacktime defenders", so anything that reminds him of that would be a favorite. so let's say scizor or deoxys!
yao - yao likes green and only chooses green pokemon or starters. i genuinely think that when making teams, he'd separate them by color - one team is all green pokemon, one team is orange, one team is blue... i think his favorite pokemon would be a turtwig. it's green, of course, but also turtles tend to keep to themselves i guess? (with the shells and all), which yao might relate to.
chantry - chantry is probably a little put off by pokemon as a concept because of all of the highly dangerous pokemon that are just casually out there in the game's universe. they'd like a pokemon that's sweet and comforting, maybe one that reminds them of mallow... so here, clefable is the best choice! i also like the choice of clefable because it mirrors gengar, a far spookier pokemon.
cosmo - cosmo has a great interest in space, and anything to do with space. for that, i think they'd like a spacey pokemon that they can catch and then tell all their friends about the spacey thing that the mon's based on... so maybe a pokemon like minior! that being said, they're also a huge fan of birds, with their own beloved pet bird crescent. so any bird pokemon would also be nice for them!

Oh god it's more Pokemon AU notes
[Link to first Pokemon AU submission]
Hey, it’s that guy who wrote all the Pokemon stuff! I’m so chuffed you liked it, I honestly panicked after hitting send! I haven’t had time to write a thing but I wanted to say that; hell yes to Steve having a Mimikyu and Billy having a Growlithe. And here’s some thoughts on how they got them!
Billy’s Growlithe was probably a gift because it’s a Manly pokemon - but also it can only grow so strong. Fire Stones aren’t cheap ya know, and it means Billy has a ‘power cap’ of sorts on his Pokemon. Neil likely has something with a type advantage or just pure strength on it’s size and like I said, he’s ensured at least one of Billy’s pokemon won’t evolve to it’s final form without a generous amount of money. The Growlithe itself is more nervous than Klaus and doesn’t posture for attention because it’s been in the Hargrove house since puppyhood, and is the only person/pokemon allowed to try and comfort Billy after Neil’s lashed at him. I imagine it’s named ‘Tiger’, given Billy was a child and would’ve just gone 'it has tiger stripes therefore I’m calling him Tiger!’ Tiger avoids conflict and just likes company and exercise like any good pup, while Klaus lives for a fight and wants to be strong enough to knock out Neil’s pokemon someday. Dog verus wild cat and all that!
Steve’s Mimikyu is a very recent addition, from working at Scoops Ahoy! The Mimikyu in question was part of the Russian experiments but got loose and had some fun adventures in the Mall until stumbling into Scoops Ahoy and devouring the ice cream. Robin, being the sensible person, decided she didn’t want anything to do with that, leading to Steve being the one who had to try and shoo away this strange little cloth Pokemon. He looked it up and ended up relating and then started sneaking her favourite ice cream to her (Rocky Road), leading to him nicknaming her Rocky. He had no idea she was a girl when he picked this name but it stuck. She’s an odd Pokemon, partly cos she’s from Russia so what is English. But she grows fond of Steve and helps him out in her own way, and when it comes to a battle she is ruthless. I imagine Scoops Ahoy staff could only have “cute, fitting Pokemon” at work, so Rocky gets around it by adding a sailor hat to her costume. Look she’s a sailor! (also she takes Steve’s place as second mate).
I had more thoughts on Steve’s Umbreon and felt he would give her a shockingly 'normal’ name, like Amy. She knows Steve so well, better than he knows himself some days. So she never played up for the popularity, was just always cool as can be cos someone has to be when you’ve got this dramatic himbo for a trainer. Plus Steve learned the 'Play it cool, act like you don’t care’ vibe from soneone! Did I make her a girl so there can be Eevee babies in the future, Hell Yeah I Did. You know Klaus is after that girl as hard as Billy is after Steve, even if Billy isn’t acknowledging just what he wants with Steve yet. Also the idea of Steve having nothing but female Pokemon amuses me. Always a girl magnet.
Also I gotta add an additional character and their Pokemon; Robin has a Mawile because it has big Lesbian STFU Energy. It was introduced in gen 3 and in later gens gained the Fairy type, making it a Steel/Fairy mon. It’s very sweet looking and uses it’s cuteness to lure people into a fake sense of ease, but has a massive pair of jaws on the back of it’s head that are strong enough to tear through iron bars! Naturally her Mawile does get to be at Scoops Ahoy, cos of the cute face.
(Does Billy have a mon for when he works at the pool? Maybe… but I will say that Robin and Steve’s manager at Scoops is an ice type Pokemon they both hate cos it’s such a little corporate suck-up!
Sorry for the big info dump and no writing! Just know that this AU lives in my head rent free and someday I’ll get to writing about Billy walking into Scoops to flirt/harass/purchase ice cream from Steve and about Steve going to the pool.
- That Guy who did the Pokemon thing! And should probably come up with a handle if this becomes a habit
-
okay I’m cleaning out my inbox and I must’ve MISSED THIS I love it so much. I’m so glad you liked some of my ideas for pokemon they would have, and even adding more onto them. Finding this seriously made my whole day so much better I read it like three frickin’ times, I’m gonna keep my submissions open in case you ever wanna send more! (I beg please send more if you’ve got it)

Greetings Professor,
So, about a year ago I broke my (self-enforced) rule of only using Fairy-Type Pokémon and caught myself a Phantump. For a while, the little guy seemed happy and content. He'd always play about with my Mimikyu, as well as the rest of my team. However, recently, he's looked quite down. I took him to my local Centre, and they said he just needs a bit of cheering up. I've tried doing so by cooking his favourite Curry (he didn't really eat much) and playing more with him (he didn't seem to want to). I read on one of my old Pokédexes that Phantump are apparently spirits of deceased children that have possessed stumps. Do you think that could have something to do with his low mood? How do I cheer my lil guy up?
As I’ve previously stated, while it’s not impossible that some phantumps may be the spirits of deceased children, it’s far more likely that any given phantump is simply a spirit that learned to act childish to play on adults’ protective instincts. So while it’s a possibility, it’s highly unlikely that your phantump is sad because of that. Is it possible that something happened recently to upset him? He could have had a fight with one of your other pokémon, or perhaps he lost something that’s important to him.
Honestly, there may not be an immediate fix, so the best thing to do is what you’ve already been doing: making sure he knows you care about him, and that you’re there to support him. Even though he didn’t seem interested in food or playing, he knows that you saw that he was upset and wanted to help, and I’m sure that means a lot to him.

Of Apples And Spooks
Fandom: Pokemon Characters: Bede, Gloria (Female Player Model - Custom Name used (Mavis)), Hop (Mentioned), Mimikyu Relationships: Dressedinpinkshipping (Bederia)
Legend says if you catch an Applin and gift it to the person you love, your love is destined to succeed. It is commonplace in Galar to gift an Applin to someone as part of a love confession.
Sometimes, an Applin simply isn’t the right gift for the person you love.
Mavis had been planning this for a while. Ever since Mori, her beloved Mimikyu, had laid that egg. Maybe a little before that, if she was honest. The important thing was she had an idea, and once it was in her head, she was going to make it work. This plan in particular was very important. It could make or break the next stage of her life.
She decided to put her plan into action at the final stage of the gym challenge, after the final battle. That in and of itself had made her a bit nervous, she had to admit. If anything, she was hoping she'd be able to ride the adrenaline rush from a successful battle to give her the courage to just do it, but if she lost the opposite could happen. She could lose her motivation and her bravery, could chicken out and never get a good opportunity to do it again. When it came down to it, however, she really didn't need to doubt herself or her abilities. She was a strong trainer, highly skilled, and a brilliant strategist, if she did say so herself.
So here she was, nervous, fiddling with the hem of her shirt, still in the Champion uniform because she honestly wasn't sure if she would have time to change, so best not to chance it, about to talk to him.
Mavis had had the courtesy to do this away from the public eye. She had asked Bede to come with her to a side room to talk about something important. Hop said he would make sure no-one disturbed them, no fans or journalists, no other gym leaders, not even well wishing friends and family. She was thankful for that. Hop had been the first person Mavis had told when she realised she had feelings for Bede, and the first one she told when she decided she was going to confess her feelings to him. He had been nothing but encouraging and supportive the whole way, her best and most reliable friend right through to the end.
"So?" Ah yes, back to the present. Bede was watching her fiddling with her shirt, a look halfway between amusement and concern on his face. Had he ever seen her quite this flustered? She wasn't sure. "What do you need to talk to me about?" "Oh! Right! Well...first, I need to give you something. Sort of a gift." "'Sort of' a gift?" "A gift." "What for?" Now he just looked confused. It wasn't like he'd done anything to merit this, or like any kind of special occasion was today as far as he knew. She shrugged her bag off and began to dig through it. "That's what I'll need to talk to you about." There it was. She pulled a pokeball from her bag and opened it. There was a flash of light, and then between them stood a single small Mimikyu in a shining silver disguise. "A Mimikyu." Bede stated blankly as Mavis continued to pull things from her bag. "That's right!" Laying a smaller bag on the floor beside the Mimikyu, she waved her hand at the Pokemon excitedly. "This is Spoop!" "Spoop...you named your Pokemon Spoop..." "Yep! She also answers to Spooplet. A Spooplet is the proper term for a baby ghost, after all." "It's...really not." "Yes it is." "Fine, whatever, I'm not going to argue with you over something so stupid. Why are you giving me...Spoop?" He pulled a face when he said the name. It almost made her laugh. "Okay." She stood and clapped her hands together. "So your gym is fairy type, and I know you don't have a Mimikyu, and I've prepared a bunch of different outfits for her so she can fit Miss Opal's pink theme as well. See, my Mori happened to have a baby and I thought I could give her a good home with you. You're a good trainer, and your Pokemon are all happy and healthy, and having Spoop on your team now and then would help make the Gym Challenge a bit more interesting for some people, and she's grown a little already, I think the two of you would get on really well. You're the best person to give Spoop to and I know she'd be really happy to have a trainer like you." She crouched down and gently lifted Spoop into the air, smiling all the way. That was when Bede seemed to notice the shadowy arms of the Pokemon. They shimmered and caught the light, and were tucked behind its back, carefully concealing something. "Is she holding something?" He asked, craning his neck to one side to get a better look. "Spoop has a gift for you too!" Excitedly, Mavis spoke to the creature cradled in her arms. "Show Bede what you have for him, sweetie." Spoop made a noise that sounded happy and drew her hands out from behind her back, waiting until Bede held his own hands out before handing over the held item.
It was a red and brown ball with green extras attached, made to look like an Applin. "She's giving me one of her toys?" He asked, turning the ball over in his hands. He looked confused again, and honestly unimpressed. "Well..." Mavis hesitated, not sure how to explain this. "Yes, but it's more what the toy is that's important." He looked over it again. Then his eyes widened in understanding. "Are you trying to...? This isn't some kind of joke, is it?" He turned, looking around the room as if expecting to see someone spectating, laughing at his expense. "No...Bede, no, I...I really do like you." She waited until he was looking at her before continuing. "I like you a lot. More than I've liked anyone before. Listen...you don't have to like me back, if you don't, that's fine, I just hope this doesn't make things awkward between us because the last thing I'd ever want is to lose you as a friend. It would be nice to be a little bit more than friends, but if friends is all we'll ever be then I'm okay with that too. And you don't have to take Spoop if you don't want to, I just thought this would be a better idea than giving you a real Applin. After all, you don't train dragon or grass types, and you'd bond a lot better with something you could use in battle. I thought it would be better if I went to the effort of, you know, personalising this confession to you, showing you I do care about you and that I know you fairly well and all. I wouldn't say perfectly, but I do know you. Anyway, you wouldn't have had to take Spoop if you didn't want to at all, it's just a cute way of presenting the toy Applin with a bonus new friend if you do want to take her." One of the problems with Mavis was that when she got nervous, she rambled. Figuring she wasn't going to stop talking any time soon, Bede quietly handed the toy back to Spoop.
This action actually caused Mavis to quiet down, however. Maybe she thought this was a rejection, or maybe she recognised she was about to get an answer of some kind, but whatever she was thinking, she trailed off and looked at Bede expectantly. The quiet as Bede tried to figure out what, exactly, he wanted to say wasn't that long, but seemed to drag on for an eternity. Finally, he seemed to decide. He nodded, reached out to take Spoop, but let his hands rest over Mavis'. "I do too. Like you a lot, I mean." "Really? Really?!" With a squeal, she shifted Spoop to one arm and threw the other around him, pulling him into a hug. Squeezed between them, Spoop also wrapped an arm around him, deciding she might as well be a part of this hug. As for Bede, his arms were trapped between them whether he wanted to hug back or not.
In the end, Spoop went home with Bede, and the two trainers decided to give a relationship a try. Bede had tried to say Spoop should stay with Mavis, giving the fact they may have already bonded as a reason. She suspected that really he was just embarrassed at having to use the name 'Spoop' in a battle situation. Spoop herself had chosen to go with him in the end, and with them they took the little bag Mavis had given them, full of various handmade cloth disguises. A Sylveon, a Hattrene, a Snubbull, all sorts of different fairies to disguise as. And of course they brought the Applin ball along. It was, after all, Spoop's favourite toy, and part of a precious and heartfelt gift from one of Bede's favourite people.

word count: 4.2k
a/n: can you believe this is my first ever donghyuck fic?? haps baps baby i hope you rest up lots and have an amazing day
Tumblr media
You kept your hands firmly in your pockets as you weaved your way between the drug-dealers and the businessmen, keeping your head low as you push past, intent on getting into the battle arena. Castelia City was a city of those who had everything and those who had nothing. In the richer areas, Beauties with their Delcatties and their Froslasses wore expensive coats and suffocated themselves with the gorgeous diamond necklaces that hung from their necks. But in the parts you were in at the moment, you knew Beauties and Gentlemen wouldn’t even come here in their darkest nightmares.
The dingy streets were marred by drug-addicts with wild, reddened eyes that stare straight ahead. You curse yourself for not wearing a bigger coat, but then again, snow wasn’t a regular occurrence at this time of the year. The snow that once fell as small flakes now plummeted to the ground as thick sheets of white, painting the floor an ironic ivory colour. As you reach the arena, the snowfall lets up a little. You knock on the large metal door, checking behind you to check there were no Policemen or members of Team Plasma around. You were thankful that even Team Plasma’s reach didn’t extend to here, especially because of the trainers that flocked here from far-flung regions. Johto, Sinnoh, Alola, even places you hadn’t heard of.
You had frequented this arena for a little while now, although you yourself never really battled. It was only when you were convinced by your flatmate Renjun to showcase your talents did your popularity shoot up. You enjoyed the battles, even if the people you were put against weren’t as strong as you were. There really was nothing quite like the rush you got from a Pokémon battle. It didn’t matter whether you were a Youngster or a Gentleman, the thrill of a Pokémon battle never failed to have everyone up and cheering. Watching battles unfold, watching trainers hash it out until one of them comes out on top became the sport of your choice.
It hadn’t always been like that, however.
When you were younger, you were terrified of anything and everything. The thought that there were creatures out there who would attack you at any given opportunity scared you senseless. For that reason, you only ever left the house with your mother and her Pokémon.
That was until Haechan came along. You can still remember the day he knocked on your door, having found out there was someone the same age as him living in the tiny town of Littleroot in Hoenn. Despite him being unable to hide his disappointment at the fact you were a girl, he still helped you get over your fears of Pokémon. It was him that convinced Professor Birch to give you both a starter Pokémon. It was him who made you want to be a strong trainer. You weren’t sure if it was jealousy of Haechan’s carefree nature, or if it was the little crush you had on the boy, but he made you want to be better.
Professor Birch made a fitting choice when choosing yours’ and Haechan’s starter Pokémon. He gave Haechan a very self-assured Torchic. Much like its new trainer, Torchic lit up every room it went into with its infectious enthusiasm. Although sometimes it tended to get a bit too excited, and he did end up lighting up the room. Literally.
You had to admit, at first you were immensely jealous of Haechan. You had seen a picture of Torchic in a magazine and you had decided that you wanted that to be your starter Pokémon. But Professor Birch had other plans. He handed you a PokéBall and you pressed the centre. The creature that was released looked like a crude Pikachu, and you immediately thought Professor Birch was playing a practical joke on you, giving you a poorly-manufactured recreation of the Pokémon he knew you loved so much only to laugh in your face when he saw your expression.
“Your Pokémon, Y/N, is one that needs a little more love in order for it to grow. Mimikyu is used to being an outcast and will take time to warm up to you. It hails all the way from Alola. I went to great lengths to catch this Pokémon and have been waiting for the right person to train her. I couldn’t think of anyone better than you. Mimikyu has the potential to become incredibly powerful, as do you.” Your eyes travelled down to the creature in front of you.
The Pokémon was small, its body almost completely hidden beneath a rag. Its beady, black eyes pierced through you from two holes in the middle of the cloth, but for some reason you weren’t scared of it, quite rather the opposite. You were intrigued, and a sense of calm washed over you in the presence of this Pokémon that would be sure to terrify anyone else. The rag had been drawn on with what looked like crayons, black eyes, red cheeks and a squiggly black mouth that was curves slightly upwards in a twisted smile that resembled Pikachu.
“Mimikyu is weakened by sunlight. From what the Alolan professor told me, it’s thought that its disguise is modelled after Pikachu because of Pikachu’s popularity.” Your heart sank. All this Pokémon wanted was to be loved. All at once, you felt a strong desire to protect her, to nurture her. you looked up at Professor Birch with teary eyes and accepted the Pokémon with open arms. When Haechan saw your Mimikyu, he was terrified. But nonetheless, he wanted to test out his Torchic on it.
But despite his best efforts, Mimikyu beat his Torchic. He wiped away tears of frustration from his cheeks and vowed that he would beat you one day. That he would become the strongest of every trainer in Hoenn and have the most powerful Pokémon there were. That week, he disappeared from Littleroot. His mother said that he had screamed something about becoming a strong trainer so he could beat you. That spurred you on to do the same.
That was seven years ago. Now, you watched Haechan battling in Castelia City’s underground arena, one of the only battling grounds that you had yet to conquer. You had exhausted all of the battle arenas in all of the regions, and Unova was the last one you had to take on. The battle arena was established by Red, the stoic, wordless trainer who hailed from Kanto. He set it up to allow trainers to strengthen their Pokémon by battling others. He placed strict bans on any items, disallowing the use of Potions and berries, stripping the trainers of the safety net they were so used to. In doing that, however, he managed to separate the weak from the strong.
It had been so long since you had seen Haechan. His Torchic was now a proud Blaziken that stood behind him as he shouted commands at the Pokémon in front of him. He was clearly the audience’s favourite, his enthusiasm and carefree attitude winning him the hearts of every Lass and Beauty sat in the crowd alongside you. He had turned into something of a playboy, partying with any gorgeous woman who threw herself at his feet. With a simple smirk, he could have any girl on her knees for him. He knew he was the shit and he wore that badge with pride.
The crowd gave a roar as the young woman fell to her knees, eyes brimming with tears at her defeat at the hands of her opponent. She returns her fainted Pokémon into the Pokéball, her head hanging in shame as tears formed in her eyes. A part of you felt bad for her. She was still young, only around fourteen. It became apparent as soon as she entered the battle arena that her nerves were getting the better of her. She appeared incredibly self-conscious, hunching her shoulders and cupping her elbow, never looking directly at the camera that displayed her every expression on large flat-screen televisions that hung from the ceiling. Haechan was ruthless when he battled. He didn’t care if they were young. He would battle fiercely and without relent, often making his younger opponents cry.
“Ouch! It looks like Ryujin’s last Pokémon, Infernape, was defeated easily by our ruling Champion, Haechan’s Greninja!” Your eyes flick to the young man who stood on the far side of the battle arena. He wore a confident smirk on his face, clearly triumphant at a battle that, from his perspective, was much too easy. There were cries of outrage from his opponent’s supporters, claiming that he had battled dirty.
But those were the rules in Castelia City’s illegal battling grounds: The only way to win is if you battle dirty. Training your Pokémon and building your friendship was one thing, but choosing to pick on the weaker trainers was something that moved you up quickly.
And that was what you did. You had quietly moved your way up the ranks, strengthening your Pokémon until you knew they would take down the Champion’s Pokémon without even so much as breaking a sweat. You had watched all of his battles and you knew his Pokémon inside out. Haechan was a very well-rounded Trainer. You and he had set out from Littleroot Town in Hoenn when you were eleven years old, him with his Torchic and you with your Mimikyu. While Haechan was merely interested in becoming the best of the best with the strongest Pokémon, you were focused on building your collection of gym badges until you had collected one from each city in each region, going on to beat the Elite Four in each of the regions.
“Is there someone out there who wants to challenge me?” Haechan’s voice rang through the silent battle arena. You remained silent for a couple of seconds as Haechan looked around the arena, basking in the shocked silence that descended. A little while later, you took the chance to speak up. You adjust your hood and stand, ignoring the incredulous gazes and echoes of whispering that flit around the arena.
“How about me?” You lazily raise your hand above your head. You move from your seat and place your hands into your coat pockets. The people around you turn to stare, and you can’t help but let your heart pound a little. You walk down into the arena, keeping your face as hidden as you could by way of the hood. You meet Haechan’s eye when you step into the arena, and the expression of shock on his face when he registers that you’re the one who challenged him was unmatched. He covers his shock quickly by his signature smirk.
“With pleasure. But don’t go crying to your mum when I inevitably beat the crap out you.” You make your way down into the trainer’s box, followed closely by your Mimikyu. Haechan looks you up and down, and you felt your heart flutter. He had changed a lot since you last saw him several years ago, his facial structure became more defined, his once jet-black hair now a cool grey. His skin was still the same smooth honey colour, and that same enthusiasm and joy was in his eyes. Your eyes wandered to his companion Pokémon. Blaziken was significantly taller than his trainer and stood behind him in a stance similar to that of a bodyguard.
“This should be interesting!” The announcer’s voice booms over the speakers.
“Our reigning Champion is being challenged by an unnamed trainer! Rules are the same. The only time you can switch out a Pokémon is if the other’s faints. You’ll be booted if you use any items. But other than that, let’s make this an adrenaline-fuelled battle!” A small smirk forms on your lips as you saunter over to the Trainer stand. You place a hand in the pocket of your coat, hand wrapping around your first Pokéball.
“Blaziken, you know what to do.” His voice was calm, any sign of distraction removed from his facial expression. His companion Pokémon steps into the ring, eliciting a cheer from the crowd. You bite down on your lip to stop yourself from smiling. His tactics are still the same.
You throw out your own Pokéball, Milotic jumping out. An expression of worry flicks over Haechan’s face as he realises the type advantage of your Pokémon over his, and at the realisation that he can’t switch his Pokémon out. He widened his stance and leaned slightly forward, completely focused. In contrast, you lean back, making sure to keep your face hidden from the camera.
Your Milotic looks back at you, giving a small nod of her head when she does so. She turns back to stare down Haechan’s companion Pokémon, who appears to relax when Milotic looks at him. The crowds cheering appears to quieten a little too. You knew that was Milotic’s ability, to emit soothing frequencies to calm both animals and Pokémon. You had trained her to lull the opponents’ Pokémon into a false sense of security before unleashing powerful moves that give them no indication that they’re in danger.
“Milotic, use Hydro Pump.”  Blaziken has no time to react as he’s hit by the powerful jet of water from Milotic’s mouth, forcing him several steps backward. After just one of Milotic’s moves, Blaziken falls to the ground, unconscious. You adjust your hood, pulling it over your head again to ensure no one but Haechan saw your face.
Pin-drop silence followed the echoing of Blaziken hitting the floor with a thud. Then a couple of seconds later, the announcer pipes up, shock and amazement prevalent in his voice.
“Milotic took Blaziken down in one hit?!” Cheers erupt from the audience, shaking the ground. A small smirk forms on your face as Haechan returns his prized companion to its Pokéball. He looks up at you with dark eyes, admiration and jealousy prevalent in them. He simply chuckles and fishes another Pokéball from his pocket. He throws it into the centre and out jumps his Aerodactyl.
“Milotic, use Hydro Pump.” Again, Haechan’s Pokémon was taken down in one hit. This happened again and again until he sent out Dragalge. Your hand delves into the pocket of your overcoat and feels for the familiar bumps of the Master Ball you had used to catch your secret weapon. You withdrew your exhausted Milotic and threw the Master Ball out into the arena. Gasps and cheers sounded from the audience, making the corner of your lip quirk up in a smirk.
“A Mewtwo?” Even the announcer was shocked at your Pokémon. Haechan took a step back, eyes fearful, staring in the direction of Mewtwo’s intense gaze. Your rival was gobsmacked. The Y/N he knew was scared of Wurmple and refused to leave Littleroot Town unless he was there with her. The fact that you had managed to take down five of his six Pokémon without batting an eyelid and to achieve a feat like catching Mewtwo was one that he wasn’t expecting.
“Busy admiring Mewtwo, Haechan?” His eyes flit from you to Mewtwo, mouth agape.
“H-How?”
“Cerulean Caves in Kanto. Impressive, don’t you think?” He simply chuckles.
“Let’s get this over with, then. I’ll take down your Mewtwo and all of your Pokémon after that!” His unwavering enthusiasm was infectious.
“Dragalge, use Dragon Pulse!” Dragalge opens its mouth and begins to generate a shockwave. Your fists clench.
“Mewtwo, get out of the way!” Your Pokémon does as you say, dodging the attack with ease. It lands on its feet, skidding a little as it makes contact with the dusty arena floor. Mewtwo didn’t need to look back at you for reassurance, it was confident in its own abilities to take Dragalge down while avoiding excess expenditure of his energy.
“Mewtwo, use Psychic!” Mewtwo closes its eyes and Dragalge is knocked backwards and the dust on the floor is kicked up by the impact of Mewtwo’s move.
The crowd roared in both shock and excitement, but Haechan could only gasp.
“Dragalge?” He called. “Dragalge, are you alright?”
As the dust began to settle, he could see his Pokémon laying on the floor. He fell to his knees and stared at you as you recalled your Mewtwo wordlessly. Then, you turned on your heel and exited the arena, gone as quickly as you had come. Your PokéGear blipped twice.
PokéBank: 750,000 PokéDollars transferred into your account.
Note from Sender: It’s been too long, I forgot just how impressive your battling is. As promised, 25% of my winnings. You deserve every penny. Yours, Jeno.
Your eyes roll. As attractive as you found him, he was dangerous. As the son of Team Plasma’s head, you knew to keep your distance. The two of you became fast friends when you defeated him soon after you had taken on Johto’s Elite Four. He respected you as a trainer and as a person, and for that reason you knew Team Plasma wouldn’t come after your Pokémon. And he was a useful contact, too. The resentment he felt for the things his father had tried to do meant he would leak confidential intel from Team Plasma’s board meetings to you. He had tried convincing members of the Elite Four to help him, he even travelled all the way to Sinnoh to beg Cynthia to help him. To no avail, he returned home, his distaste for his father’s dated views becoming more and more evident as he rebelled against him. He would often run away from his father, and this arena was his safe haven, where he could hide from the prying eyes of Team Plasma.
You ducked out of the stuffy arena, out into the cool night. You take in a deep breath, thankful to be outside in the chilly air. You pull your hood up against the breeze and walk through the streets, back to your apartment, making sure that Mimikyu was by your side each step of the way. You unlock the door, holding it open for Mimikyu. You shut the door and switch on the lights, not expecting the figure of your roommate sitting in the armchair opposite the front door. Your heart gives a lurch when you see the brown-haired boy from Kalos sat in front of you, a stern expression on his normally smiling face. Your eyes wander to his Altaria, perched quietly in the corner.
“Shit, Renjun! You scared the crap out of me.” You clasp your chest and Mimikyu moves in front of you, ready to attack. Altaria gives a start, squawking in alarm at your voice. You quickly bend down to soothe your Mimikyu, patting the Pokémon’s disguise. It turns to you and nuzzles its head into your neck.
“It’s okay, Mimikyu. I’m fine.” Your Pokémon calms down and you stand back up, eyes never leaving Renjun’s.
“You scared me.” He raises a brow.
“You shouldn’t be out this late. Especially with Pokémon that are in such high demand by Team Plasma as yours. Castelia may be a normal city during the day, but it’s still dangerous at night. You need to be careful.” You wave Renjun off and walk into the kitchen.
“I’m serious, Y/N.” He stands up and follows you to the kitchen. You open the fridge door and take out a Poké Puff. You bend down and place it on the floor, before turning away to allow your Mimikyu to eat it. When it’s finished, you pat the top of its head and stand back up to face Renjun.
“I heard from Taeyong that his Roserade was taken by Team Plasma. It wasn't even a commander that stole her, it was a grunt. I don’t know what they’re planning, but their Pokémon have been getting stronger and stronger. I know you like to think you’re untouchable because your Pokémon are that strong and all and because you’re friends with Jeno, but that’s why you need to be more careful. Rarer Pokémon have higher bounties.” Mewtwo. The Master Ball in your pocket jolts a little.
“Kyu?” Mimikyu gives a cry and you both look down at her. She moves towards you and nuzzles against your leg. Renjun looks back up at you and purses his lips.
“You know I’m only saying this because your Pokémon are so rare. I know how much you care for them, and I know how devastating it would be for you if you were to lose any of them.” You feel the Master Ball in your pocket give a jolt, Mewtwo clearly sensing the worry that’s coursing through you. Renjun looks down at the clinking of the Pokéballs in your pocket.
“You need to keep Mewtwo away from the public eye as much as you possibly can, Y/N. If people find out you’re the one who caught Mewtwo, you’ve turned yourself into a moving target for Team Plasma. Because if they find you with the Pokémon you have, you’re pretty much asking them to take them away.” You nod at him and he fills up a glass with water.
“I won’t let them near me. You’ve got nothing to worry about, Renjun. Besides, I got a big winning from defeating Haechan in Castelia’s battle arena tonight.” He spits out his water and coughs, thumping his chest to get rid of the water that had gone down his windpipe by mistake. Mimikyu screeches, dodging the droplets of water that were sprayed from your friend’s mouth.
“Haechan’s here in Castelia?” He manages to get out between coughs and splutters. You nod.
“So that’s why you were so intent on moving here. How did you know Haechan was here?”
“He’s not exactly the most subtle when it comes to underground battling rings, is he? It’s always all over his social media. Won this battle against this Ace Trainer, partied with that Beauty, it doesn't take a genius to figure out where he is.”
“Yeah, but it does take a stalker.” Your mouth falls open in mock offence, a feigned gasp escaping your lips. Renjun chuckles at your expression and Mimikyu nuzzles against your leg again. You stick your tongue out at Renjun and playfully swat at him. Altaria looks on from its perch in the corner of the room and looks away again, evidently unbothered by you and Renjun squabbling in the kitchen.
When you wake the next morning, you hear a loud knocking at your door. You knew it couldn’t be Renjun, he never leaves the house without his keys. It couldn’t be a delivery, either- Renjun would have told you if there was one coming. You get out of bed and put on a hoodie. Heart pounding in your ears, you edge to the door, placing the chain on it. You could feel Mimikyu behind you, clearly sensing your nerves. Your hand reaches for the doorknob and you pull it open, not expecting to see your rival stood in front of you. He looks you up and down and you realise what he’s looking at. Of course you had to fall asleep in a vest top and shorts.
He may be your rival and all, but he did look awful. He was clutching his stomach, and there were evident bruises beginning to flower on his cheekbones, some accompanied by small cuts. There was a long tear in his white t-shirt, and there was even more bruising on the parts of his stomach you could see. His eyes were dark, dull. Like someone had extinguished the fire that was normally behind them.
“Haechan? What…” You tail off. “How did you know where I lived?” He straightens a little, the effort clearly causing him pain. You undo the chain on the door and he moves his hand to lean against the doorframe. He was battered and bruised and you wanted nothing more than to care for the beautiful boy who was stood in your doorway.
“I had Persian follow you home.” You can’t help but let your brows furrow at that.
“Do you-uh… do you want to come in?” He looks up at you and nods. You stand out of the way and Mimikyu lets out a cry at you when you let him in. He limps towards the sofa and Mimikyu follows him closely. You fetch the first-aid kit from your bathroom and take it back into the living room, where Mimikyu is still stood, watching Haechan like a hawk.
“Hey, Mimikyu. It’s fine.” You coo, and your companion soon calms down. Still evidently cautious of Haechan, she follows him, nipping at his ankles as he walks in and sits down on your sofa. You stand awkwardly and look him up and down, just as he did to you. He looked dishevelled, distraught even. That flame of childlike enthusiasm that is usually so prevalent in his eyes is no longer there. You set the first-aid kit down on the coffee table and sit down next to him. He avoids your gaze and takes his bottom lip between his teeth, running his tongue over it as he forms a sentence in his mind.
Then it clicks. You glance around the room and realise his partner is nowhere to be seen.
“Haechan, where are your Pokémon?”

If Team Rocket 'always had a heart for unpopular Pokémon', that's an admission their Alola catches aren't particular loveable creatures, so I'm not thinking anything too controversial.
You're saying they take pity on the animals no one wants, as in it's normal for me not to find them adorable.
Some Pokémon, such as Lucario, become fan favourites without the advertisement of a regular role the anime. With Wobbuffet, Bewear, Stufful, Mareanie and Mimikyu, do people like them for themselves, or because of their association with Team Rocket?
I think its the latter. I can't imagine there would be such interest in them were they to be owned by a Twerp or appear as a one-off. Really then, it's not what or who they are, it's to whom they belong that matters.
Alola has really devalued catching. Rather than be true to the source material, so battering a Pokémon into submission, as Ash did with Bulbasaur, Primeape, Muk, and many others, now you have to ask their permission!
Bewear didn't even get that. She hung around for no reason, and her 'friend' Stufful was belatedly tacked on. I see why those two were left behind, as Team Rocket had no right to take them elsewhere.
In terms of welfare, Mimikyu and Mareanie are better off staying with them, free and safe, rather than locked in the insalubrious depths of H.Q., but then it never bothered the writers sending previous Pokémon into an uncertain future, so what difference does it make now?
It can only be that, like their predecessors, there is no intention to ever bring them back, but unlike the rest, the fans can't even be allowed the vain hope of a return, not with this rather awkward disposal.
It's feasible that Jessie and James could call their base and request old monsters to join them, but it's difficult to imagine they'd fly across the world to Alola, wander through the woods, pick 'em up and go all the way back again. Why make parting so final and irreversible?
It does imply that Game Freak don't like them, so why should I?
I keep noticing this fickle attitude. A new era starts, we're expected to fall instantaneously in love with every element, beg for more and yet more. Then, once the next region arrives, this adoration asked of us is meant to evaporate and immediately transfer to the next batch.
Well why start to like them, if eventually the makers don't care, to the extent you wouldn't even know previous Pokémon had ever been alive?
Have you heard one mention of Seviper, Yanmega, Dustox, Cacnea, Carnivine, and Mime Junior since they left?
Why were they happy to chuck Wobbuffet after Sinnoh, yet fetched for Kalos?
How could Team Rocket live without it for an entire generation but suddenly it's indispensable again? What do you imagine the rest of their Pokémon felt about that?
Have Jessie and James wondered allowed how Arbok, Weezing, Lickitung and Victreebel are doing?
What of the last two generations?
What is this nonsense where every character is so detached from the past?
Supposing I was to force myself to appreciate them: since they've gone, never to return, I'd be dissatisfied with the show, thus no better off than I am now.
My feelings don't run on a switch. I can't find myself besotted one minute then dump the object of affection without a second thought, just because Nintendo want it from me.
Even if I had a more positive opinion of the current interpretation, there's no benefit to becoming involved when it's all so fleeting.
Mareanie is ugly, with three teeth. I think he's a sea anenome, so ought to be more attractive, but it's covered in nipples instead!
It looks like a bonsai tree growing breasts, reminiscent of the hideous content lurking within an Hieronymous Bosch painting.
The idea that all Mimikyu copy Pikachu, the most famous Pokémon, when in their world it's nothing special, is too stupid for me to accept. How could that be coincidence?
It's referencing reality, acknowledging the real world's view of Pikachu as the star, so if it's breaking the fourth wall, it invites disbelief.
Wobbuffet does sod all. It's a complete dead weight and has no attacks. Yet it's the one to survive generation after generation. Where's the logic in that?
I suspect his popularity rests on being there so long he's considered part of the furniture, the sole catch in which you can invest an emotional connection whilst fairly certain he'll remain around.
By now it ought to have developed some semblance of a personality, but it's as faceless as ever. Other Pokémon that have been and gone had a bit more about them, but Wobba's so bland no one can summon the energy to write him out.
If he went, what would you miss? Breaking out of his ball and hissing 'WAAAAAHBUHFEH'? Is that so integral?
I have several objections:
What is it meant to be?
Why does its tail have eyes?
Why is that never mentioned?
Is it a sort of quadruped, or has it only one foot with four toes, arranged like the bottom of a medical walking stick?
A lot of my reactions to Pokémon are influenced by encountering them in the games. With Wobbuffet, I remember first coming across it in the cave near Blackthorn City, and just as you're winning the fight, it pulls out Destiny Bond and suddenly you're both down.
When you finally get one, it's tricky to train. You have no choice but to guess whether the opposition will launch a physical or special move, and mostly you get it wrong. He never learns anything else and doesn't evolve, so it's that forever.
Persevering with Magikarp is worthwhile, but what's to be gained from taking any time out to fight with Wobbuffet?
The anime eliminates this problem. You're aware of the nature of the approaching onslaught because you can see it coming, and the opponent said it aloud.
In this context Wobbuffet should be the most powerful Pokémon in the universe. Come on, it can deflect every attack!
Is it? No. It has a successful defence about once a generation, and still loses the battle. I can't say if it's worse to be utterly pointless, or to not fulfil one's potential.
I resent it muscling in on the motto, as if it's considers itself of equal rank to Meowth. No it's not!
When I was young, there was a tendency for magazines to refer to Team Rocket as a duo. Meowth was judged to be in the same position as Pikachu: a main character yes, and valuable enough to be accorded the privilege of liberty, but still very much owned by people.
You would see references to Jessie and James as his Trainers, though how they assumed this worked went unexplained. Even if shared, one had to have to caught him, thus be his proper owner.
Later on this developed into them being three equal members, and the term 'TRio' emerged, but now, although perhaps not officially recognised, there's an attitude of treating them as a quartet.
It's just wrong! Wobbuffet's not been around since day one. He didn't join Team Rocket voluntarily because he had nowhere else to go. It was a choice made for him by his original Trainer, so out of his hands, or rather his flippers.
If he was an independent Pokémon who just tagged along one day, that would be different, but it belongs to Jessie. Promoting one of hers means James is lesser, and no longer equal.
In each generation Team Rocket catch at least one local Pokémon, but as Wobbuffet's there, it ends up with Jessie having more on her side than James, and I dislike the imbalance. Plus the one he does get is violent.
It can't be solved by giving him another new one, as then he's captured two in the region, and she has only one, so again it's skewed.
Whilst Wobbuffet does count in numbers, he's not on the level of the rest, who fight regularly. He's both there and not simultaneously.
I'm still irked the way Lickitung was ejected to make room.
It was the best Pokémon they ever had! It took out Pikachu, Vulpix and Bulbasaur with one move! It would've won those Princess Dolls for Jessie if the writers hadn't changed the rules so that Lick only affects those of sound mind!
It was as if they realised their mistake too late, and so Lickitung was featured less and less to avoid it dominating a fight, then hurriedly traded away for something reliably feeble.
The following analogy you may not understand, but I think it fits rather aptly:
There's a game called Final Fantasy VIII. One of the side quests involves you racing through a castle under a time limit. If successful, you are rewarded with Odin as a Guardian Force, which is a deity that will provide a defence.
Unlike others, he is out of your control, but every so often, as you enter battle, he turns up and annihilates your opponents. It's very welcome.
Unfortunately this game was programmed by bunyips, who clearly didn't want the last section of the game to be accidently easier for you. Oh no. If you're progressing, it ain't gonna be through luck, or turning the console on and off until he arises.
Therefore, towards the close, you come up against ex-friend Seifer. Odin is fixed to rush to your aid, but when he does, bloody Seifer slices him in half, horse and all!
He killed Odin, the ancient King of the North! The Lord of Valhallah! The Father of the Vikings!
It's not normal fighting death, it's irreversible. He's gone for good.
After this Gilgamesh introduces himself as a replacement. He too will randomly appear and set about the enemy.
The problem is that whilst Odin destroyed monsters unfailingly, with Gilgamesh it's a rarity.
He uses four swords, and which you get is also a lottery.
One is the same as Odin's, two deal average damage, but not death, and the worst one depletes 1 HP, so it might as well not have bothered.
Not only does it arrive but a fraction of the time, but it's in a fraction of those times that it's of any assistance, which is something of a comedown.
Lickitung is Odin: didn't see it often, but it tore the place apart!
Wobbuffet is Gilgamesh: once in a blue moon it provides rescue, but it's on a lot lower percentage than it's predecessor.
It's difficult not to be disappointed.

hey! can i have a partner or a team please! whichever is best for you! 💕
my star sign is cancer, my mbti is enfp, and my enneagram is 6w5! my hogwarts house is gryffindor, and i believe my patronus was a dragon? that or a thestral - i can’t remember which i got last time, haha.
my favourite colour is a soft lavender-blue, but i like most soft colours, like pink, yellow, green, orange - you name it! my favourite places are either bustling cities, old towns with lots of scenery, architecture and history, or out in nature. i really like cathedrals and other beautiful buildings!
i’m a passionate person, and i also get pretty excitable - i’m easily pleased, and i always love to get involved in the things i enjoy! i’m pretty empathetic, and i care deeply about everybody i meet - i love helping others, and i’m always there to listen! around groups of friends, i tend to take on a nurturing, leader-like role - but i’m just as content being a follower too! i like backing people up and making them feel safe around me. however, i’m also stubborn, and don’t ever know when to quit. i can sometimes seem a bit forgetful or scatterbrained, but i’m also pretty kind and playful. patient while also being extroverted.
i really love storms - almost as much as i do the summer heat - and i hope to be a zoologist! animal behaviour and ecology have always fascinated me - as has ancient history (particularly the military side, haha).
thank you in advance! i hope your blog goes well 💕
Hey there! 
Thank you for the first submission and the shout out on your blog! That is really appreciated, and thank you again for your patience :) 
I read through all Pokémon to have better ideas of maybe hidden meanings I didn’t know about. I found a lot of Pokémon for your profile, and actually had a hard time picking 6 among a dozen. Here’s my input though. 
I also can’t help but notice that we have a lot in common ^o^
Your partner is… 
Tumblr media
Riolu.
• Known as the Emanation Pokémon, Riolu is not all about brawls. It is very sensitive to a type of energy called Aura. Although it doesn’t fully understand the powers it may have, it can still sense and see them, and that makes it extremely empathetic, just like you!
• As it can see and feel other people’s emotions like happiness or anger, you and it wouldn’t have any problem communicating or understanding each other ! A mere look would suffice for you guys to bond. 
• But this sixth sense comes along a superhuman strength with this little dude. As a very stubborn and determined Pokémon, it would be the perfect companion for the Gryffindor at heart that you are! Besides, looking through my Pokédex, three words come up to describe it : playful, energetic (excitable) and loyal. Sounds familiar? 
• You guys would make an awesome duo, as it would be there to protect you just like you would protect it, and you would share a friendship a lot of people would envy you. It would have no problem walking out in nature by your side, or exploring ancient buildings, and its loyalty would know no limits. How lucky you are! 
How about the rest of the team, now ? 
Tricky, isn’t it? I can see a lot of Pokémon that would love to have some adventures with you. Let’s see. I see something very small. It seems to be a bug.
Tumblr media
Cutiefly.
• Cutiefly is one of the smallest Pokémon ever discovered so far. As innocent as it may look, this little fairy bug knows more than one trick and is also very much connected to the realm of auras and emotions. I can see it being the Pokémon that you would encounter right after Riolu. 
• A lot of people misunderstand it because of its size, but you too might very well get along. Capable of detecting auras in living things, it can predict the movements of its opponents in battle. However, Cutiefly tends to pick up on the strong emotions of the living beings around it, and it can let those emotions overwhelm it a little due to its gentle and kind nature. This is why he is drawn to people, especially people with a good heart like yours. 
• You can find one in fields or meadows, especially during the summer time as they do like the climate. However, a lot of Cutiefly are also very much attracted to the city, and notably old towns or buildings. Why, you may ask? Because all the emotions and feelings packed in those places attract them! Like you, they find the beauty of those feelings endearing, and seek those old, memory charged places. 
• This is why your Cutiefly would be more than happy to go on a trip with you, whether it’d be a warm meadow, or an old church. 
Another Pokémon soon joins the duo. He’s green, and very intimidating for such a small size.
Tumblr media
Bulbasaur.
• Ah, yes. Bulbasaur was one of the first Pokémon that came into my mind while getting to know you. An extremely loyal person that likes to help others and take the position of leader when needed? Bulbasaur can get behind that idea! 
• It is not by pure chance that Bulbasaur is a Pokémon professors give away to young trainers. Those cute little Seed Pokémon are known to be friendly and extremely protective. In a group, they often assume the role of guardian, in a very natural and casual way. They often like to carry the young ones with their vines to rock it in the air, too ! 
• Nurturing and friendly, they often are casual leaders and will not boast about it. Besides, they love to rest outside, bathing in sunlight.
I see those three Pokémon forming a trio very dear to your heart. However the team doesn’t stop there. I can see more companions, eager to make themselves known to you.
Tumblr media
Baltoy.
• Baltoy is probably the only member of your team that doesn’t look like an animal. However, the mystery around it makes it even more interesting, doesn’t it? 
• Intriguing and fascinating, Baltoys have been known to populate the planet since thousands of years. It is said that humans made it out of clay during the ancient times, a time where it started to guard its human creators through many centuries. Paintings on cave walls proved this statement. 
• Nowadays, you can find those weird looking Pokémon in ruins, graveyards, or buildings that have a deep connexion to the past. As a living being bond to History, Baltoys are regularly being studied by researchers that discovered they often cry in unison when they’re reunited. Some believe they’re grieving their friends, gone hundreds of years ago. 
• As a trainer fascinated with History and old architecture, Baltoy will most likely be your guide to the most breathtaking sites of the world while having find a new friend to protect. 
Tumblr media
Electabuzz
• This one is bigger than the rest. It might also appear less friendly but don’t let yourself be fooled by its demeanor! Electabuzz are very excitable Pokémon that are overwhelmed with the energy stored in their big fuzzy body. 
• It often makes them restless or mischievous, but it doesn’t mean yours can’t have a big heart. Although it can be found near power plants for its energy, you can meet Electabuzz in grasslands. Those creatures love thunderstorms, just like you do, and even feed from them. 
• This is why they will often chase them to get recharged in energy, and your Electabuzz will probably guide you to some of the most spectacular storms you might ever see, without putting you in danger! It is said that it is quite a show to watch them recharging, especially if they’re struck by lightning. Be careful though, as it can sometimes be a bit unaware of its strength! 
Tumblr media
Gabite
• Made popular by Cynthia, Sinnoh’s Champion, Gible and its evolutions are known to be very tough Pokémon to care for. However, I am not surprised to see why this Gible would evolve by your side to become a Gabite. 
• The sharks of the sand often get a lot of attention from those who love to study the behavior of Pokémon, and their Dragon type makes them even more complex and interesting to get to know, doesn’t it? 
• Gabite are fierce, predatory Pokémon that will protect their territory no matter what. I find it similar to how you care a great deal about your loved one’s safety. Along with Riolu, Gabite would be the most fearless warrior of your team and would protect the 5 of you without a second thought. 
• Besides, he shares with you that stubbornness that makes him unable to see where he should stop once he’s involved in something. 
• Did you know that his scales had medicinal properties? Yes, Gabite doesn’t only protect his group with his body! Its scales can heal most illnesses, and what’s best for a caring soul like yours than to be friends with a strong Pokémon that has healing properties? 
Yes, I could very much see those Pokémon surrounding you. However, I see some other shapes appearing along these ones. Maybe you would also be happy to own a Mimikyu, a Kangashkan, a Mudbray or a Galvantula? Only time will tell. In the mean time, thank you a lot for trusting the witch for today.
I hope you like your team ^o^ That was an awesome experience, please feel free to ask for another option if one just doesn’t feel right! I really had a hard time choosing between a lot of them, so if you liked one of the four I mentioned last, I can totally switch one or even give you a brand new Pokémon :)

1-20 and 50-70 for the pokemon asks
This took so long to answer them all, but I got there!!!
1. favorite type?
Electric!! Water is a close second though, then Grass and Flying!
2. least favorite type?
Ground or Rock honestly. I just don’t tend to train pokemon of those types, it’s nothing against the actual pokemon~
3. favorite dual type?
Ooooo tough one! Electric/anything is honestly always fun, but I’ve got a soft spot for Ghost/Fairy ever since Mimikyu was released, and I hope there’s more of that type combo in the future!
4. least favorite dual type?
I genuinely can’t think of one!!
5. favorite trainer?
Just going off the games and not including gym leaders/trial captains here, it’s Gladion, Hau or Wally!
6. least favorite trainer?
Probably Silver honestly. I never got to play HG/SS, so if he got more development in those games, someone please let me know, but just based on what I have played and know of him, he’s definitely my least favourite~
7. favorite gym leader?
Can I have a few? Misty, Falkner, Jasmine, Wattson, Wallace and Fantina!!
8. least favorite gym leader?
Pryce’s gym always takes me FOREVER to get through to the point where I can actually battle him, so I’m going to say him for that alone >_
9. favorite elite four member?
LORELEI!!! I’ve adored her ever since I first played Yellow when I was 6~
10. least favorite elite four member?
Sydney and Lance have always been massive pains in the butt for me to beat!!
11. favorite trial (sun & moon)?
Ghost, hands down!! 
12. least favorite trial (sun & moon)
I remember the first time I played Sun, the Grass trial was the biggest pain in the butt!!
13. favorite antagonist team?
I’ve got a soft spot for Aqua, but at the end of the day, it’s gotta be Team Rocket!
14. least favorite antagonist team?
Plasma or Flare, only because they’re the ones I know the least about >_
15. favorite shiny pokemon?
For sentimental reasons, it’s Espeon~ Love that little green alien!
16. least favorite shiny pokemon?
I’m not a big fan of ones where it’s hard to tell if it’s shiny without the sparkles around it, like Gengar, but really all shinies are special because they’re shiny!!
17. 3 favorite pokemon?
I’m gonna force myself to not to list the whole ‘Chu line or any of the “Pikachu Clones”, so I’m gonna say Pidgeot, Vaporeon and Torchic!
18. 3 least favorite pokemon?
All pokemon are good and deserve love and respect!! I have certain pokemon of certain types I’m not as fond of as others if you put them on a list, sure, but there aren’t any pokemon I actively dislike at all!
19. favorite pokemon game?
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Silver and Alpha Sapphire~!!
20. least favorite pokemon game?
I genuinely do not have one!! Every single pokemon game I’ve ever played, even if it was only a small bit of it, I’ve loved it!!
50. least favorite ice type?
I’m so sorry Vanillish, cause I know your whole evolutionary lines gets knocked a lot, but I had to pick someone >_
51. favorite bug type?
Butterfree!! Always has been always will be! Scyther is a close second though!
52. least favorite bug type?
Pinsir >_
53. favorite dragon type?
Dragonite or Goomy!!
54. least favorite dragon type?
Oh god this is hard cause all the dragons are super cool!! Maybe Druddigon, only because I genuinely forget it exists half the time >_
55. favorite ghost type?
Mimikyu!! As soon as it was revealed I fell in love with it. I’ve trained a few now and they’re always tiny, affectionate powerhouses! I don’t think I could ever play a game in Alola without taking one with me~
56. least favorite ghost type?
I love the lore behind it, but I don’t think I’d ever train a Cofagregius >_
57. favorite dark type?
Umbreon or Cacturne!!
58. least favorite dark type?
Hmmm Pawniard/Bisharp maybe? I’ve fought Bisharps in the Battle Tree and they’re really strong and cool, but they’re just not pokemon I think about too much >_
59. favorite psychic type?
Espeon!!! Slowbro and Wobbuffet are close seconds, but I love Espeon so much!! 
60. least favorite psychic type?
I’m not the biggest fan of Drowzee/Hypno, but they’re not awful~
61. favorite steel type?
Magnezone!!!
62. least favorite steel type?
Durant, only because I really, really don’t like ants irl. I’m sorry Durant - you’re still really cool, I promise!! 
63. favorite fairy type?
I shouldn’t say Mimikyu twice, so Sylveon!!
64. least favorite fairy type?
I can’t bring myself to dislike any of them, even the ones I don’t think of much, because they’re all so damn cute!!
65. favorite pokemon movie?
M20, M21 and Pokemon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back!!
66. least favorite pokemon movie?
I haven’t seen enough of them to have a least favourite, and I love all the ones I’ve seen!!
67. favorite animated adaptation?
I’m not 100% sure what this is asking here, but I’m going to say that out of everything I’ve seen of the anime, which admittedly isn’t much sadly, my favourite has been everything in Johto!!
68. least favorite animated adaptation?
I haven’t seen enough to be able to say, honestly!!
69. favorite pokemon card?
THIS ONE!! HE LOOKS SO HAPPY!! LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL HAPPY BOY!!
Tumblr media
70. least favorite pokemon card?I can’t think of one that I’ve ever seen off the top of my head!! They always have such pretty art!!

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT THE MUN.
Repost, not reblog! Tag muns you would like to get to know better when done!
Name: Hayley Nickname: Quill Age: 19 Faceclaim: Mimikyu from Pokemon Pronouns:  Gender:  Female Height: 5′3 Birthday: June 10th Aesthetic: Sharp teeth, pastel g/ore, memes, wizard stuff, candy goth, 1920′s. Last song you listened to:  Owl City - Thunderstruck
Favourite muse(s) you’ve written:
Besides Swap, one of my favorite would have to be Orphaner Duelscar from H/omestuck. I only RPed him in private chat but he was fun. He as very ooc tho and pale for Grand Highblood and it was adorable. 
I also love Gizmo, who is a robot that was built to replace Swap in a world after that Swap alternate died. I’ve only RPed him in private as well. 
I also adore RPing as my OC Saul. I have a blog for him and he’s a total ass who don’t give a shit. I love him. I’m excited to develop him further and get his story written. 
What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on):
It was actually for selfish reasons. I was bitter at all the Underswap Sans blogs that did N/SFW and portrayed him as a clueless child. So I stayed up all night setting this blog up with the promise that I would never do N/SFW or portray him that way. And I’d become more popular than those blog and stay up the longest. And well, I actually got what I wanted. Most of those blogs shut down, but not before following me. My follower count is higher than theirs when they shut down too. 
Honestly I was just really annoyed that everyone was ‘dumbing down’ the character that had so much potential. Turning him into a childish s/ex toy with hardly any personality. It’s funny to me that some of the blogs that shut down actually said that they felt the same way about their muse before they quit. I don’t hate those people at all. Honestly I have to thank them. It was them that got me to write again. I hope they’re still writing. 
What are your favorite aspects of your current muse:
I love that he’s always changing. He changes at the drop of a hat and I have no idea how he’ll react to things. He could be bitter one moment and the next he’s singing a song. I also love that he’s a jerk but he still cares so much. 
What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing:
Music. All the music. 
Favourite types of threads:
Angsty ones that end in fluff. Or crack. Or ones that show the more violent side of my muse. I love when Swap can show his sadistic side~ I feel like people are watching thinking he’s not gonna do anything bad but then he does and it’s perfect. I like horrifying people.
The biggest struggle in regards to your current muse:
Getting him to help me with replies. Sometimes I just lose muse for threads because he decided he’s not interested even though I’m still am interested. It’s a struggle and sometimes it feels like I have to put on a mask and pretend to be him just to reply.
