#holly talks about pokemon

[the-travelling-witch]

”well it’s not like there aren’t any reasons i’d want to play the newer games; their names are grusha rika and tulip”

holly😭

you know i’m right, the only reason to play pokemon at this point is for the gender /lh

wake up, the new versions pokemon gender envy and pokemon not straight just dropped

[skybrightpixie]

MOOORE POKEMON STARBRIGHT CHARACTERS!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!

this is Holly! she was born in Sinnoh and is the main rival for Starbright. She’s headstrong, has a highly competitive personality, and gets super frustrated when losing battles. she always wants to aim higher and higher, challenging the player and her older sister as often as she can to hit them with everything she can in a battle.

the reason for her competitive nature is the fact that she’s expected to take over the Ice type gym for her mother, Mary. she’s excited to assume the role, but she realizes that she has to get much stronger before she can do so. thus, her readiness to go on her own adventure and learn as much as she can about being a great trainer.

Also as a bit of extra trivia, Holly was the name I gave my player character when doing a mono-ice run in any official Pokemon game before i turned her into an oc! here’s some oooold art of her:

[arthurn9]

I mean, idk what we're doing here and what the hook of this post is, but oki.

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

[diaryforadreamer]

HeatTagshipping and Conway fans out there!!!! Look what I just found!!!!

Okay. So a couple of days ago I went to the new bookshop that had just opened in my town and came across this huge Pokemon Encyclopedia hidden amongst a lot of art and crafts books and picked it up out of sheer curiosity, without many expectations. It was really complete, covering almost every season of the anime, yet it focused mainly on Ash journey, as to be expected. Still, I decided to check the Sinnoh League chapters... And oooooohhh boy, DID I FOUND SOMETHING!! 💗💗💗

Now, can you people even begin to imagine the hype, the raw emotion I felt when I saw that not only there was a full section covering Hearthome City Tag Battle Ark but that it also included a small yet beautiful paragraph revolving one of my all-time favourite Pokemon characters?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Dawn's Partner (Hearthome City Tag Battle ark)

Conway likes statistics and strategy - he's analyzed every battle in the league to create a formula that will allow him to win. However, he's not so confident around the ladies. Despite his nerdy nature, he's a great partner for Dawn. His Slowking is optimized with defensive moves like Safeguard and Protect so Dawn can focus on attacking while Conway has her back.

Have you guys read it?! Have you!? HAVE YOU!? 🤩🤩🤩

Well, just to be certain I'll say it again!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉

Okay. So not only the author is stating that Conway IS NOT a stalker, but rather a kinda social incompetent guy (Seriously, what's up with some people? I admit he's meant to be portrayed as some sort of weird, mysterious, slightly creepy character but a STALKER??!! Then how should we qualify Team Rocket who has been following Ash around how many regions already!?). They've also outrightly stated that he was a GREAT PARTNER for Dawn. Their words, not mine!!!! 😍😍😍😍

All right, perhaps most of you are currently thinking that this is not that much of a big deal, but given the fact that there is only a very few people out there who actually care about this character (I'm not even talking about a possible romantic dynamic between him and Dawn; even though that I do ship them romantically, I would have also been fine if the series had fueled their relationship in a more platonic way), the fact that I was able to find some Conway appreciation crumbs within an official Pokemon book (at least I think it's official) means a whole awful lot to me.

Also, I know that the photo doesn't show it but do you remember how Brock's partner Holly, despite not being initially interested in him, ended up developing some sort of romantic slash deep admiration feelings towards him? Well, I can assure you her paragraph did NOT have not even half the amount of praise they gave to Conway.

Long story short, I've got a new headcanon now. Until someone can prove me wrong I'm going to assume the author of this book is an undercover HeatTagshipping fan, or at least a secret Conway fan.

Ok. I'm done for the day. Bye.

[hollycripplepoke]

(a Pokemon IRL blog, run by someone physically disabled who can reclaim the term cripple. mun main blog is @theangstking !

Pelipper Mail - on

magic anons - off

in character romantic interactions okay if both mun and character are adults. character played is panoriented aroacespec!)

edit - an important note!

I commonly experience brainfog and similar cognitive issues due to pain and the medications I take for it. I also have severe trauma and anxiety, and autism. if I seem a little less articulate, this could be why! please be patient with me!

hello! I use the name Holly online, as I don't feel comfortable with my name and face being on the internet at the moment.

I use they/them and ir/irm pronouns. (usage guide: ir wants that. give irm that. irt favorite color is green. ir are looking at irmself.)

I'm a retired trainer living in the Kalos region. I previously took on multiple gyms before an injury left me and my main partner severely disabled. I am wheelchair bound due to this injury.

I previously considered myself a grass type specialist and expert, and have done a lot of research on grass type Pokemon. I love talking about them!

I have rehomed many of my Pokemon! while sad to see them go, they were mostly battle Pokemon, and it felt unfair to keep them when I couldn't provide for their needs. I'd still love to talk about any of them however.

I've included a makeshift trainer card with the Pokemon I currently have below!

more info on my Pokemon below the cut

Rosa is my longest term partner - I found him as a young child as a Budew. he stuck around until I was old enough to become a trainer, and was essentially my starter Pokemon! this was my partner who was injured at the same time as me.

Mix is a service Pokemon I received after retiring due to my injuries. he is fully trained and usually wears a vest when we're out and about. he primarily helps me with mobility, moving my wheelchair for me when I need, though he's also trained to help with my anxiety and trauma. he also helps with my and Rosa's extra stretches and daily care.

Ghost was a gift from a friend I've had for a very long time. he moved to Alola a bit after we both became trainers, and we stayed in touch. a bit after I retired, his Ditto and Incineroar ended up with an egg that he sent to me. neither of us expected him to hatch shiny!

Goldie was also a gift, though one I received much earlier in my life, during my journey. I initially planned to raise him for battle, but he never enjoyed it as much as the others. he's much more of a pet than the Pokemon I had to rehome.

Stripe is one of the only other Pokemon from my battling days that I've kept. while she loves to battle, she doesn't feel a need for it to the same degree that some of my other Pokemon did. she considers herself the "guardian" of my house now, as she's the only one who actually can properly battle, so she takes it upon herself to keep wild or dangerous Pokemon away. she supervises Goldie and Ghost for me when they play outside in the backyard.

I have hope to adopt another pet Pokemon, hopefully another grass type. I miss raising grass types! I recently rehomed an Galarian Zigzagoon I had adopted before my injury.

feel free to ask me about my experiences with being a wheelchair user, service Pokemon, and the Pokemon I've rehomed or adopted! I love talking about these things!

THE BLOG AHEAD DEALS WITH DEATH OF POKEMON, MURDER, THE IDOL INDUSTRY, AND CHRONIC ILLNESS, AS WELL AS TOXIC/ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, AND!!! WOULD PREFER OTHER MELOETTA CHOSENS TO JUST BLOCK, AS HER LORE SAYS THAT THERE IS ONLY 1 OF EACH MYTH/LEGENDARY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW OR CLONED MON. NOT PERSONAL JUST A LORE THING !!.

The name's Sai! I'm an idol from Kanto, but I move around often. Currently I mostly reside in Galar, Paldea, and Alola, though I do head out to Kalos sometimes.

For some reason I can't age now. What the hell.

I also own these non-fighter mon on my teams:

A shiny Mudbray named Dirt

A shiny Eevee named Piss

57 Magikarp. help.

A meloetta outfit Mimikyu named Falsetto

A Lechonk named Beefy Boy

A Furfrou named Snooty.

A Wimpod named Roomba.

A Rolycoly named Bibi (Bowling Ball)

A fucking??? Mewtwo?? Named Miu

A ZERAORA EGG NAMED ZORA. STOP SENDING ME THESE

An arcanine named Rogan. I see what you did there.

A shiny Magikarp named Red

A calico Magikarp named Holly

A regular patterned Magikarp named STABBY

Hundreds apon hundreds of many other pokemon.

my dad does own a lot of Vulpix though he's a rancher

I ADOPT A LOT OF POKEMON OKAY

Meloetta is a mythical Pokemon I stumbled across after my first live show.

Sai has no boundaries for interactions. Anyone is asked to interact, but she may be uncomfortable with Eebies and Sapients, as well as older Idols or managers. Send her Pokemon you cannot care for anymore, and she will love them!! Sai also thinks Fallens are interesting and loves to talk about their memories, so ...ejhm yeah

SPAM MY INBOX WITH MUSHARNA MAIL, MALICE, PELIPPER MAIL, MALICE, MAGIC ANONS, MYSTERY GIFTS, AND ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE! NO QUESTIONS WILL GO UNANSWERED, NO ASKS WILL GO UNANSWERED. EVERYTHING, YES, EVERYTHING WILL BE POSTED (ofc unless its like . sexual. shes asexual guys. also she's ageless now because idk what to do with the time fuckery. um yeah. okay. SHE IS BODILY LIKE...A TEEN. DO NOTTTT BE WEIRD). EVERY TYPE OF ASK IS WILDLY ACCEPTED AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER IF YOU SEND ME AN ASK OR INTERACT.

Sai is ageless due to time stuff but is a teen. blah blah blah, taken, and an asexual abrosexual. She's in a poly-ish relationship I think?

[heretodefyfate]

There could have been a section in Doomed timeline where you battle against pirates right after hi-jacking the S.S.paradise (was that the name of fhe ship?)

idk. I was thinking about Mosely and Amber finding some extra clothes in Valarie's room then suggest MC to put it on. Thus you would have a third alt outfit, either as an elite captain or a pirate, based on the host you are playing as.

And before you reach the Blacksteeple castle, you get to do some extra side stories.

Battle against pirates whom oppose the princess and thought MC group were part of her army. (Crawli and Holly/Rorim) These pirates used to work under Princess before they rebels and took the pokemon with them to form a resistance group.

Visit an island that somehow has few pokemon still exist, Melia decided to stay on the ship to help others while you gonna go look for foods and items, either you do alone or you get to bring an extra NPC with you. Options are Kenneth/Mosely/Amber or even Madame X (you have to talk to her multiples times before she gives in). If it's Kenneth, he would drop some lores, if it's either Mosely or Amber, there would be an event which you help them catching their first starter. If it's MX, she just stay silent, of course still reacts annoyingly when you interacts with her multiples times.

Fighting a huge Dragalge or a Tentacruel while crossing the sea.

[faketokufan]

Alrighty! I was looking forward to the heart of the cards and the return of the shadow games... But it looks like we're getting alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. Which I'm okay with really... just a little disappointment. But anyway.

Lets talk about what just happened.

Boy man child over here seems like... hows the best way to put this... like Kaito Goshikida at home? Like he even has his own chaise your dreams and push it to the MAX catchphrase in Gotcha, which like... holly hell sense this is JUST pokemon it's one planck length away from being copyright infringement... But I like em! Seems like a wholesome lad and a good boi which after Ace is a breath of fresh air. I'll take Diet Kaito over sugar free Tendou any day. All in all a 6/10 boi which I'm interested in seeing more of.

Girl Lady over here on the other hand has a diverging path ahead of her. We can get a cool competent and strong battle heroine who's got tertiary rider written all over her... Or we can get a "B-B-B-BAKA" TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTsundere who's gunna be a petulant child while the writers make Hotaro instantly good at everything she's trained her entire life for... Which do YOU think Toei will do? Feel free to write your answer on a letter and mail it to 5425 Toei Hates Women St, Toluca Lake California.

...Gaim I hope I'm wrong...

Also! Check out my two weed smoking girlfriends and their little sister... So they've got some serious Egyptian theming right?... Why isn't this more Yugioh! Seriously! I am so FUCKING moderately perturbed by this you have NO idea... Anyway they're alright. Runs the gambit of "Fight Girl" "Horny Girl" and "Creepy Little Girl" so like... While the Evil Counsel of Tropes over here is very played out I see some real potential.

lets see.... what else... what....... else....

I would die for you. You have no idea how much I love you. You are now the most important thing in this show and maybe the franchise as a whole, I will purchase all of your merchandise and dedicate myself to your cause. 11/10, could not be improved upon. Perfect son that I will never tire of.

So yeah I'm looking forward to the Hopper 1 show featuring Hopper 1 and his less important friends...

...

Also the fucken Dead guy from the opening is Hotaro's dad right? Like a part of me was like "If they make Decade Hotaro's dad I'll eat my fucken lungs" but there's no fucken way they'll be that cool.

[the-travelling-witch]

Holly being a physic ghost type? That actually sounds so cool! Now I gotta play around with what Pokémon type I am

well it was about what kind of gym leader i’d be, so what type i’d specialise in rather than what mine would be; though i’d love to be a psychic ghost type, obviously

alas, i’m so glaringly average, i guess i’d be a normal type… well i’m enough of a nonentity to get voted for grade’s ghost after graduation, so maybe ghost fits after all ^^;

then again… i probably deal more emotional damage, so maybe psychic ghost would even fit me as a type for myself jsjsh guess i gotta start haunting people now

[i-have-no-braincells]

no one i know is gonna know what the hell i'm talking about, but i am so full of thoughts right now-

Lockwood & Co. Pokemon AU okay lis- LISTEN TO ME-

Early Galar still developing has a BIG ghost problem... Well, a problem with Ghost type Pokemon, that is. I'm setting this in an era in which big cities like Wyndon, Motostoke, and Hammerlocke are still developing because it seems like an era in which humans might still be wary of Pokemon, especially more "dangerous" types, like Ghost. (Think of how humans in PLA were scared of Pokemon and it was uncommon to befriend and train them.)

Anyways. Who better to look to for during this troubling time? Kids and teens, of course. It's the Poke-Universe, after all. "Agencies" of sorts that specialize in helping people with their Ghost-related problems start popping up because of how widespread this becomes, which of course means Lockwood & Co. pops up too. Lockwood, Lucy, and George form a ragtag group of trainers that perhaps, after solving a few cases, start to question if these Ghost Pokemon are even a "problem" in the first place.

I'm so sane, okay, I know this such a niche au to even consider, but I'm sO FUCKING NORMAL ABOUT THIS BOOK SERIES THAT I OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO COMBINE IT WITH MY SPECIAL INTEREST-

I feel it would be common for agents in this universe to have at least one partner Pokemon by their side, usually Dark types or a Pokemon that can learn a Dark type move. Maybe the fact you have to work alongside Pokemon in this specific field is why a lot of kids are joining, simply because they're not completely set in their fear of some Mons (obviously the Ghosts types here are still highly feared. I also am playing more into the darker aspects of Ghost Pokemon's dex entries, to up the fear factor and make it so that people wouldn't want their houses "haunted". Thus making the existence of these agencies make sense.)

As for the characters, I want to give Lockwood an Umbreon maybe? I'm not really sure why other than maybe because it reminds me of the "death glows" Lockwood sees in the books. I could also see him with a Korkorok because of his sunglasses, or a Mightyena because of how his smile is described as "wolfish" sometimes...... Actually, scratch that, I might give him a Luxray because of it's "x-ray" vision and it can learn Crunch.

I could see Lucy with a Sneasel... I can't think of any other Pokemon and I don't know, I feel like it suits her. I know Skully is actually going to be an Odd Keystone in a jar that's maybe vaguely shaped like a skull (or is actually a skull, do we really have any limitations on what the keystone can be?). Anywho, one of the spirits trapped inside the keystone starts to talk to Lucy of course~

George has a Scraggy and a Blipbug (his Blipbug stays at home). Easy choices for my boy George. Holly has a Purrloin, and Kipps has a Thieval I think.

As for an actual plot for this au? I have not a clue, I think it would follow the general plot that we already have in the books. I know Annie Ward's ghost would be a Froslass at least-

Uh. Anyways. I'm insane and unnormal. I will go melt into a puddle somewhere now.

[vani-candy]

i was perfectly content with taking this OC to my grave with me because she has extremely self-indulgent properties (ie. oc x canon but the purely platonic version because she's a literal child!!!), but then i got a job and the job made me realize that no, fuck it, i no longer care if i'm considered being 'cringe on main' because i have more important things to worry about than terminally online people on social media LMAOOOOO

OKAY SALT ASIDE,

this is my Pokemon protag OC!! she was made primarily for PLA and is still technically part of that, but ive been thinking of how she'd act in SV too. its a good thing Gallade is in both and ive been envisioning that as her bestie/ace.

Her name is Hollie and she's 6 years old, LITERAL CHILD, and she fell from the space-time rift with no memories. all she really knows are small details about herself and doesnt really know much about the world at all, so she's that type of kid who constantly asks questions HAHAHAHA,, she's super shy around strangers but can get pretty attached to people she's close to

i'll probably talk n draw her more in the coming days, especially if people wanna see her more c:

[skyburger]

this is a long ass post because i accidentally started rambling about nonsense (jjba characters playing video games) so im putting it under a cut to spare you all. read at your own risk...

oh i know im a massive fucking nerd when i realize one of the reasons i love jojos so much is because it's got characters from both japan and america (and many others countries which also fucking rules but for the purposes of this post im singling out these two) which means i can imagine them having some stupid lost in translation shit going on. okay. so:

kakyoin talks about the famicom and avdol is like ohhh i know that*!! and they talk about mother** and dragon quest*** and final fantasy****. and they're chatting happily but joseph looks at him he's like man i only know that super mario game. and kakyoin is like ohhhh i played that too!! and so the two of them are yapping away it's absolutely fine until someone mentions koopas (as in, the minor enemy, koopa troopas) and kakyoin's like. Huh? kuppa's the final boss of the game, the one with the big shell that's got spikes on it...? but joseph is like no thats bowser??? koopas are the little ones with the shells you can jump on and send rolling!! (polnareff is a master system diehard fan so he's just watching this with confusion. he barely even knows who pacman is let alone mario.) kakyoin doubles down on this hes like Listen. ive played more video games than all of you combined. the small ones are called nokonokos. the final boss is kuppa. and they start arguing about it (loudly).

avdol is watching this happen and he says to polnareff i didn't even know anyone other than mario had a name. polnareff replies man all i play is monopoly on my sega master system. Whenever i go to an arcade i just play pinball (he forgets there are other games he's just a absolutely entranced by pinball). joseph and kakyoin are arguing for fucking ever and they only stop because they get attacked by a stand user or something.

many years later jotaro will think back on this conversation and realize a few things. 1) he sees modern (by his standards, so, at least 20 years old today) depictions of mario and he thinks ohhhh kakyoin knows that guy. 2) after living around gamers in both japan (kakyoin) and in america (joseph, when he visits, and later his wife and jolyne*****) he does some research (picks up a book about the history of video games on a whim) and discovers that joseph and kakyoin were both, in fact, right-- in japan, the smaller turtle-esque enemies are called "nokonokos" and the final boss is called "kuppa", but due to translation nonsense, in america (and most western countries), the smaller enemies are known as "koopa troopas" and the big bad himself is known as "bowser". he wonders how the hell that even happened. he then goes on to continue his tradition of being an old fucking man in spirit when it comes to video games. he likes games like mahjong... solitaire... minesweeper... the fanciest he's ever gotten is text adventure games. maybe one of the older simcity games, if he's feeling brave.

jolyne lets him play tetris on her gameboy one day and just doesn't get the appeal at all (but holly absolutely does so jolyne will play tetris with her grandma for ages). joseph can kick jotaro's ass at any version of mario kart even in his 80s and 90s because jotaro cant even handle atari games this "gamecube" and "wii" stuff is too much for him.

anyway over in naples polnareff is struggling to discuss pokemon with anyone because he played the french version, which translate all the names to french, but in italy they just use the english names for the pokemon. if anyone asks him about pokemon hes just given up on naming any of them at this point. so at my hypothetical fucked up stardust crusaders reunion that they all bring their buddies to, polnareff is like what the hell is a "butter free". a stick of butter pokemon? what? and jolyne is laughing her ass off while mista tells him no dude it's the butterfly one, the one episode of the show you cried at and he goes OHHHH YOU MEAN PAPILUSION!! jolyne is still giggling but she does actually find it really cool to know butterfree's names in different languages. she tells him it's butterfree in japanese, too (she is not fluent in japanese so she makes jotaro help her. he can name a ton of pokemon but he doesnt even know about types or evolutions.), like how pikachu is the same in english and japanese!!

this is kind of unrelated but if you asked me most jojo characters' favorite pokemon i would not be able to tell you. however i know jolyne likes butterfree (she likes butterflies she likes gen 1 its a no brainer). i think jolyne's mom likes ho-oh i don't have a reason i just think shes into the bird ones and thats a sick as hell bird one. jotaro's favorite is magmar****** because that's the only one he can remember the name of. like he seriously remembers magmar more than pikachu. joseph likes bulbasaur because jolyne showed him the whole pokedex and he said bulbasaur was his favorite because its. the first one you see in the dex. and hes stubborn enough that he just stuck with it. if he wasnt a stubborn bastard i think hed say meowth because i know jolyne makes him watch the show and he gets a kick outta team rocket. holly likes mew again i dont have reasons other than thats her vibe. polnareff likes farfetch'd. the vibes are right.

kakyoin and avdol sadly died several years before the first pokemon games came out but if they had survived: i think kakyoin would like cherubi but considering that one only came out in 2006, i think his initial fav is seel (and dewgong). dont have a reason for this he just seems like a seel and dewgong kind of guy. avdol likes tauros the most but everyone assumes he likes flareon or moltres instead and hes like ehhh. theyre cool but tauros is cooler. gen 1 is his favorite methinks but if someone (jolyne) got him to play gen 2 i think cyndaquil would be a second favorite (and probs his favorite starter. he always picks charmander in gen 1 but aside from charizard hes pretty neutral on that evolution line).

anyway when polnareff finds out about pinball games (like on handheld consoles) he goes nuts. his favorite console game for YEARS is pokemon pinball for the gameboy color (and it's only usurped by pokemon pinball ruby & sapphire for the gameboy advance). his favorite pc game is 3d pinball ‪space cadet (but second place is always whatever the most recent version of monopoly for windows is). (he doesn't bother buying new consoles just for monopoly but if monopoly releases on something he DOES own? oh you bet your ass he owns it. he was an early adopter of iphones so hes also played every shitty version of monopoly for iphone. he spends money on micro transactions and then lies about doing that. he doesn't even collect physical copies of monopoly, like, the actual board game? he owns this one beat-up copy of monopoly las vegas edition and he's like yeah why would i need another one? i already have one...? (he does not understand peoples confusion when he goes on to buy multiple monopoly video games instead.) he ate the monopoly money once because he wanted to know what it tasted like (he wasnt even playing it at the time. he went and got out monopoly and ate a single bill of monopoly money and then put it back).

holly cant play a lot of games because fast-moving camera angles make her motion sick however joseph does not share this problem (or if he does? he hides / ignores it because he wants to play these fuckass games.) so he loves playing first person shooters. he loves half-life and fucking. counter-strike i dont know. i dont actually really play fps. anyway he doesnt own any consoles and he never will (he says hes "too old" for that and "he'll be dead soon" but he's been saying that for 40 years so they all just know hes being a stubborn bastard) so instead he spends that money on making sure hes got the beefiest gaming pc ever. if he can't run a new game due to his hardware (not often) he just replaces it with the newest possible part. i need you to picture his gamer setup i will describe it to you:

imagine your grandparents house. maybe even your great grandparents house. if youve never been to yours or anyones grandparents house then just google it i promise i am talking about a really stereotypical old people house. like this house has had the same cord phone for decades. the furniture has not been updated in just as long. however at like the kitchen table (the dining room table HAS to be empty. "what if we have a bunch of guests over?" suzi q says. they havent had more than three guests since holly moved out.) is home to joseph's gamer setup i can picture it now. he's got a single cheaper monitor that sometimes just flickers off if you hit the table by accident. the case for the computer itself is from like 2007 and joseph refuses to update it because he doesnt want one of those "obnoxious rainbow light-up computers" (fair). he does not know you can still get plain cases these days. if something doesn't fit in this stupid case he takes it to a friend (someone he found on craigslist who is charging him ridiculous prices) to make a custom part for this case so he can plug in xyz and have his floppy / cd / dvd ect. drives. this case has so many wonky custom parts it looks like frankensteins monster and its pretty much the ship of theseus at this point. anyway he's got this boring as fuck computer tower underneath this really basic wooden table in the corner. the monitor sits on the desk with a keyboard and a mouse (both wired. joseph gets really annoyed if he has to change the batteries in a mouse.) and theyre all black with no decorations. the desk is probably too big to just have a single setup on it but probably too small to set up a second one (which wouldnt even get used, anyway). the only other decorations on the desk are framed picture of family and friends, which WOULD be nice, except all the frames are cheap, broken or both because this table is kind of wobbly and he's always getting really mad at his games and knocking them over on accident. he's got a medium bookshelf next to this table which is home to huge but very disorganized collection of pc games that has not been updated much since steam became a thing. he owns the sims 1 & 2 with all their expansions. he owns a lot of bootleg copies and indie games he got from many different people over the years, all with sharpie label on the disc (and in a jewel case if the creator was feeling fancy). he owns every half life game & expansion.

he gets into emulating at some point but he doesnt own any controllers and refuses to buy one so he plays all these games with keyboard controls (he doesnt know you can change the control mapping so he just gets really good at using weird fucking controls).

he loves simpsons hit & run. he's not a huge minecraft guy but he does play if jolyne asks him to (and she does). if this is one of the rare times hes playing mc on his own he only plays on hardcore and sees how far he can get on a quest to kill the ender dragon (he usually doesnt even make it to the nether). he loves playing awful romhacks. please picture joseph joestar in his late 90s playing a fnaf game. okay i think thats it

oops this post has gotten really far off track from my original point of "i think the sdc having video game conversations get confusing cause of localization differences" but thats alright. old man joseph playing ultimate custom night ok?

*it's also called the famicom in egyptian arabic everyone say thank you to the wikipedia editors who translated the NES wikipedia article into so many different languages! even so, avdol does seem like the kind of guy (to me, at least) to know lots about different games in different regions, even if he has not, in fact, played most of them.

** as in the first mother series game. the one before earthbound. it didn't get an english release for at least a couple decades after sdc so.

***dragon quest didn't release in north america until august of 1989, so it wouldn't have been out yet! i don't think it even released in europe on the NES at all lol

****again, final fantasy didn't release in north america until 1990 on the NES, and europe didn't get it until the ps1 era!

*****i know jolyne and her mom are gamers. trust me.

******this is inspired by wayneradiotv saying gordon freeman hlvrai's favorite pokemon is magmar. i just think yeah... they're the only two magmar fans ever

Ingo was teaching new Apprenticeships and Black Angel Rei how to shoot an arrow.

"Ingo! I can't pull the bowstring well!" "You have to put a lot of strength when you pull the bowstring." "I put as much effort as I could!" "Then you may have your bowels very dense not long after you have holly weapon. The weapon called a bow is used as the elasticity of the bow, so why don't you pull the bow several times first?"

Rei pulled the bowstring several times as Ingo advised. Then, the bow was more elastic than before, so Rei was able to pull the bowstring without difficulty. (Sorry, this is unclear information.)

"Wow! You use Claw, but how do you know a lot about all kinds of weapons?" "Thanks to you, I also learned more about the bow this time. Rei."

Holly weapon of Ingo is in the form of a claw, but it was his job to teach Apprenticeships at Training Grounds of the Galaxies, So he learned from Zisu, or from Laveton, a holly weapon researcher at the Galaxies, that he could search on his smartphone on weak radio waves, and if that doesn't work, he could search for books, Ingo was studying weapons in advance and teaching Apprenticeships based on it.

"You know? you're the best teacher ever!" "I'm the best teacher..?"

Rei smiled at Ingo and said, something dimly came to Ingo's head.

“Ingo is a teacher! Ingo knows everything!” “I’m a teacher?” “Yup! Ingo is my teacher!” “I’m shy… I don’t know much about it yet..”

It was definitely Ingo's childhood memory. But beside the young Ingo in his memory was a smiling child whom he had never seen before. Ingo tried to remember who the child was, but the child's face was covered in thick fog.

The only clue is that the child was a black angel like Rei.

"Ingo? Are you okay? Ingo? Ingo!" "Ah..! Rei!" "Ingo, You just seemed to be possessed!" "Well, something just popped up in my head… But I'm not sure what exactly that something is…" "Oh..Ingo…." "Ah, but now I've sidetracked us with this talk. Let's get back to training." "OK..!"

Ingo tried to continue Rei's training, but Ingo's partner Melli rushed in calling Ingo's name.

"Ingo!! Ingo!!!! INGO!!!!!!!" "Melli? What's the matter?" "It's a call from the leaders!" "Then you can call me by phone, right? You have a smartphone, too." "It can't be a proper phone call in this rural village where the radio waves are so weak that there is a loud noise in the voice! I'm barely answering the phone call from our leader!" "Ah… I see. Melli." "Ingo, who trains me?" "Zisu will train you! Now then, I will depart for the Alabaster Icelands!"

Ingo asked Zisu to train Rei and he flew to Alabaster Iceland, where Pearls' headquarters are located.

.

Ingo entered the leader's tent, the largest of the tents where Pearls' guardian angels are staying in Alabaster Icelands, and met Irida, the leader of Pearls, who was waiting for him. But Irida's expression was restless and not good.

"Leader Irida! Guardian angel Ingo has arrived!" "Ingo! You came!" "Diamonds Melli told me it was your call. Irida, what's the matter? You don't look good."

Irida spoke cautiously to Ingo.

"Hey, Ingo, you said you're from Unova, right?" "Yes. Unova is my hometown where I was born and raised. But why are you suddenly talking about my hometown?" "Because…Unova is now being attacked by black angels…!" "What?!"

According to Irida, black angels dressed in black and covering their faces with black masks are attacking Unova, And the black angels call themselves "Team Plasma" and are indiscriminately attacking the angels living in Castelia City and Driftville City, including Nimbasa City, which is located in the center of Unova.

"Palina and Diamonds Iscan were dispatched to Castelia City, and Lian and Diamonds Mai were dispatched to Driftville City." Lian's on the move, too? He just graduated from Apprenticeships with Sabi..' "You should go to Nimbasa City with Diamonds Melli, he has already departed for Nimbasa City!" "I understand! Leader Irida! I'm leaving right now! ALL ABOARD!"

Ingo hurried to Unova.

'But by the way, everyone else was born in Hisui, so they don't know about Unova.. I'm really worried.. Well, I hope Irida and Adaman gave them the Unova map..'

.

.

.

Hilda, Bianca, and Cheren were fresh angels who had just grown to be 15 and had just graduated from school.

In celebration of their graduation from school, they made a bold plan to travel all over Unova, and after a long time of preparation, they set out from their hometown of Nuvema Town and looked around Unova's towns and cities as planned, and they just arrived at Nimbasa City in the center of Unova. So they were going to make good memories in Nimbasa City.

"First, I will ride the Ferris wheel in the amusement park. I heard that the Ferris wheel here is famous, so I should try riding it at least once." "I'm going to watch a musical! I heard that cute characters dance on stage! Hilda! What are you going to do?" "Well, shall I watch a tennis match at Small Court?" "Then shouldn't you leave quickly? The tennis match is about to begin." "Oh! I see! Thank you, Cheren!" "You're welcome, Hilda." "Then we should say goodbye here for a while."

Hilda, Bianca, and Cheren were about to disperse for a moment, when suddenly black angels appeared in front of them.

"Ahhh!!!!" "Is that a black angel?!"

Black angels covered their faces in black clothing and began attacking angels in Nimbasa City with blunt weapons such as baseball bats, tonfa, chaffing, and wooden hammers.

Unfortunately, the targets of the black angels included the three friends.

"Knock it off!"

A black angel in madness with an eerie smile without a mask swung a triangular sign on which the train was drawn.

((BOOM!))

"G..Guardian Angel?!" "Ugh! Why is Unova so wide and complicated?!"

Fortunately, Melli, the guardian angel, arrived and subdued the Black Angel, who attacked Hilda, Bianca and Cheren, using his bomb-shaped holly Weapon.

"Guardian Angel!!!" "Hey, kids! It's dangerous here because of the black angels, so hurry up and run to a safe place far away!" "We're not kids! We're also 15 years old…" "There's no time to argue about that now! Run away! Kids!"

Melli, who saw Hilda, Bianca, and Cheren run away, threw a bomb-shaped holly Weapon at the black angels in earnest.

"The great Melli's holly weapon attack!" "Argh!!!" "By the way, when will Ingo arrive?!" I heard he's from Unova here! Then he should come sooner!" "Take this, guardian angel!" "You take this~!"

Most of the black angels were caught up in the explosion of Melli's holly weapon, and as they blacked out, the black angel with a creepy smile swung a sign at Melli, avoiding the attack lightly.

"……" "Avoiding all of the great Melli's beautiful attacks…! That smiling black angel..What the hell are you?!"

The black angel approached Melli and whispered.

"I am Emmet. I am a Team Plasma."

Emmet swung a sign at Melli.

.

.

((CLASH-!!!))

"INGO!!!!" "…….Ingo..?"

Ingo defended Emmet's attack.

"I arrive, right on schedule!" "Huh? right on schedule?! You're so late! I almost got in trouble!" "I apologize. It happened because I was overpowering the black angels who attacked me on the way here." "……." "Ingo! watch out!" "…..!!!"

Ingo fought back, avoiding an attack from Emmet, who was brandishing a sign at him. And so did Emmet. Neither of them backed down.

'But that guy who looks like me.. He just swings recklessly, so I can't read the moves!'

However, unlike professionally trained Ingo, Emmet's movement, which was not trained at all, was unable to read the movement because he was wielding it recklessly, making it increasingly difficult for Ingo to prevent his attack.

'Also, I think I've seen him somewhere.. Why..? Why is that..?! Yet I feel as though I was on the cusp of remembering something just now…'

Also, the more Ingo looked at him, the more he remembered something deep in his head, as if he had seen Rei, the harder it became for him to concentrate on the battle.

"Please Stop the attack now! Innocent angels are suffering because of the attacks of black angels like you!" "…….."

Emmet, but I promise you something. If I go back to my hometown, I will be your guardian angel.

Emmet said to Ingo, who was breathing heavily, with a bright smile.

"Yup. As expected, Ingo is a hypocrite. The verrrrry worst hypocrite ever."

And hit Ingo hard with a sign.

((POW!!!))

Ingo, who could not avoid Emmet's attack, fell down after being hit by a sign.

"Good night, Ingo. No. Good night, the worst hypocrite."

“… so next year, I intend to approach Raihan in order to see if we could collaborate on a pride parade for Hammerlocke! How fantastic would that be?”

Holly hummed her agreement. She’d never shared anything close to Demetria’s energy, not when they were children and certainly not now. But it was nice to hear what she had to say anyway - to have a nice, normal chat about normal things, to pretend her own life wasn’t a constant carnival of disorder.

That said…

“So,” and here Demetria’s tone turned serious, “how are things with you?”

Of course she couldn’t avoid it forever. The fact that what was meant to be a simple trip to Sinnoh turned into a full blown monster hunt.

“Fine. I haven’t seen… it since the pic I snapped yesterday. I’ve just been following its trail.”

“You don’t have to engage with it Holly. You are not obligated to solve this region’s problems.”

“I’m the hero of Kalos, Demetria. Feel like it would be a bit of a dick move to just leave ‘em to it.”

She heard it then. The sound that had been playing on loop in her head since she’d first heard it the night before. The cry of a wild pokemon, or- or something like a wild pokemon. The sound of shrieking static, and breaking glass.

Holly tensed. The sharp intake of breath on the other side of the phone told her Demetria had done the same.

“That was it, was it not?”

“Yeah. Yeah, that was it.”

“Holly…”

“I’m ok. Talk later, alright?”

She hung up before Demetria could argue, and started moving forward more cautiously than before.

Her hand tightened involuntarily around Bubble’s pokeball, her finger held firmly over the release button. If the gems covering this thing’s body were anything to go by, it was likely a rock type - hopefully her Greninja would be the perfect opponent to it.

Stalking through tall bushes now, easing her way through the Sinnoh wilderness, Holly’s heart pounded in her ears. The strange cry came again, and she was stunned momentarily, wrestling with her own instincts - to run, to hide, to destroy -

A few more hesitant steps, and she finally saw it again.

It hadn’t gotten any less disturbing. Stood on two legs, stooped over, arms dangling gently from its sides. It’s back was to her, exposing the writhing mass of tendrils that emerged seamlessly from a back that seemed otherwise covered in some kind of strange black hide. But Holly wasn’t too disconcerted by this. If anything, she was glad it faced away from her.

At least this time she didn’t have to look at its eyes.

And maybe she wouldn’t need to endanger Bubble after all. The thing hadn’t noticed her after all. Her other hand reached slowly into her bag, pulling out a quick ball.

Wait. Wait for the perfect moment. Hold your breath. Then-

A Staravia took sudden flight from a nearby tree. The creature startled. And Holly threw the quick ball.

It connected, thudding against the creature’s back. It tensed immediately, before being consumed by the light emerging from the pokeball, and disappearing inside.

It shook once. Twice.

Holly held her breath.

And the ball cracked open again.

The thing stumbled away, turning to face it’s would-be capturer. And those eyes were turned on her once again.

Holly gasped, hiding her face on instinct. It didn’t help, she knew it wouldn’t - there was no where on Earth she could have escaped that gaze. Those eyes staring into her, and out of her, and-

The pressure lifted, and Holly gasped as the creature turned tail and fled once again.

“… shit.”

Another failed capture. And with her luck, if she didn’t catch that thing soon someone would get hurt. Or killed.

She gritted her teeth in frustration, before glancing into the bag that hung by her side.

“fuck, I don’t want to have to use this…”

The masterball had made its way to the top of the pile of pokeballs inside, taunting her with its violet hue that reminded her all too much of the monster’s terrible eyes. As a rule, Holly was against masterballs, against the concept of stripping any Pokemon of their free will in a bid to capture them. You could capture any Pokemon if you could only earn its respect.

But if she was in a race against time - considering she didn’t know what this thing could do, how much damage it could cause - well, maybe her hand would be forced.

Chestnut has the most prominent scars out of all my OCs I think. (takes place in the same universe as shattered legacies)

She's missing a leg, missing part of her ear, got a nasty scar along her back ,and scarring across one of her eyes. basically she got stuck in an animal trap but was luckily saved by the hunter that placed the traps and rushed her to the vet. She struggles a bit with balance as she's not used to missing a leg, her right eye can't see as good as it used to, mostly only making out blurry colorful blobs, and her back gets a bit sore if she overdoes it. The only cat who knows the story is an old cat named Cloud that she met who is helping her find her way back home to her colony.

I also have my BSD OC Da Vinky (Da vinci). Xe has scars on xyr hands and xyr nose due to xyr inventing. xe doesn't wear safety equipment besides goggles so xyr poor hands and gone through some pretty nasty injuries.

Dana has a little X where her eye should be because it's missing. no real backstory there it just is like that because she's a bread snackie.

Evren has some scarring from when he and his sister Stella were escaping the underground. he got pretty hurt down there trying to protect Stella and some of the wounds scarred over. No one really knows the story besides his sister.

Pyrrhus has a scar along his nose because of a bad fight he accidentally found himself in with another pokemon at a very young age. No one knows the story and Pyrrhus tells a different tall tale every time someone asks.

Sunny has a prominent scar on her back which she got in a fight with her previous colonies leader when she dueled him for his position. the only ones who know the story is her sister Poppy, her niece Holly, and the rest of her old colony.

Trinkets got scars on their little monkey hands because protective equipment hasn't been remade yet and so their hands have gotten quite beat up. The scar along their eyebrow and eye is from when they got crushed exploring some ruins of human civilization. one of the human buildings was very unstable and it crumbled and some debris crushed them. Luckily they where able to climb their way out and Nanas was able to tend to their wounds.

And then Zekai has scars on the back of his tail from when it got crushed as a kid due to him being stupid and playing where he shouldn't have been. No one knows the story because he's always too embarrassed to talk about it. he just calls it "the incident" before staring off dramatically into space.

Then we have the characters that have top scars lol not that they are ever shown in my art but y'know. Dr. Viktor Valentine has top scar, Aldric has top scars, Julian has top scars, and When Luca gets older he'll probably have top scars.

If your OC has a prominent scar or scars, how did they get them? How many people know this story? How do people react to it?
