(@zoruascanbetrainerstoo) Hihi! What's the coolest place you've been to? -Illanero

Aw man, I've been to a lot of awesome places!

I've climbed Mt. Coronet a few times, and both Spear Pillar and the Snowpoint route are breathtaking! If you're looking for really unique experiences, Pacifidlog Town is a collection of houseboats just sort of floating out in a safe spot amidst some very strong currents.

But I think, for my favourite place?

...Have you ever been to Hoenn? If you ever get the chance, find somebody with dive-trained Pokemon to take you underwater along route 134. There's absolutely nothing that compares.

Heck, if you ever come around, I'll take you myself! The archeologists are gonna kill me for telling, but there's some underwater ruins there that I used to explore as a kid. I doubt there's more than twenty people alive right now who've ever been.

There's also some underwater ruins in Undella Town, they're much fancier but not nearly as old!

Thank you for the ask!

I... probably shouldn't say this, but... I've also been to the Distortion World before.

My first trip was as cool as it was horrifying, but nowadays I sometimes go there just to be alone.

I just had a reallyreally fun idea for an ask game!

Ask game about regions but it's based on my journeys!

Kanto - What's your opinion on master balls?

Johto - Have you ever woken up somewhere completely different from where you went to sleep?

Hoenn - Have you ever been mistaken for someone else?

Sinnoh - How fast can you run?

Unova - What's the most reallyreally stupid thing you've ever heard?

Kalos - How good are you with loud noises?

Alola - Have you ever seen something that you didn't know what it was at first but then you learned and were reallyreally scared?

Galar - What's the worst mistake you've ever made?

Paldea - What's a time you had to make a choice but wanted to choose all the options at once?

Kitakami - What's a reallyreally cool story you've heard?

Team Rocket is reallyreally stupid!

Davulo evolved into an Inteleon!

I also met a reallyreally weird human named Cara Liss! She says that she can revive fossilized Pokemon, but she needs two fossils to do it!

I have lots of fossils from my journeys! A Dome fossil from Kanto, a Claw fossil from Hoenn, a Plume fossil from Unova, and a Sail fossil from Kalos!

I'm gonna try reviving the Plume fossil and Sail fossil first!

I'm still on my way to Goldenrod City, but I've been reallyreally thinking.

The human world is reallyreally different from what I know, with its trainers and gyms and leagues and human teams.

It's reallyreally weird. Humans are reallyreally weird.

I've met lots of reallyreally nice humans, like Wally and Shauna and Lance and Mustard and the old human in Kalos. But also lots of reallyreally mean humans, like Proton and Oleana and the Silph Co leader and Ghetsis and the human with the bent metal sticks in Alola. And lots of humans who are in between.

People keep asking me why I'm a trainer, even though I'm a Zorua. And I reallyreally don't know. I heard about trainers, when I woke up in this world, and I thought it'd be reallyreally fun to try it. And now I'm the champion of three regions.

I didn't expect to get this far. I still reallyreally don't know what I'm doing, even now.

But it's reallyreally fun, being a trainer. Traveling around the human world, meeting lots and lots of different humans. They all look reallyreally similar, but the ways they talk, act, battle, everything, it's all reallyreally different from human to human.

But I haven't met any other trainers who are Pokemon like me. I'm the only trainer I know of who's a Zorua, or any other Pokemon.

It's reallyreally lonely. And sometimes I wonder if I'm not supposed to be a trainer, that Zoruas can't be trainers.

I'm scared of more humans finding out I'm not human. Lance was reallyreally nice about it, and so was N and Wally and Shauna, but Oleana was reallyreally mean about it. I'm reallyreally scared that lots of humans won't like me for being a Zorua.

I don't know how much longer it'll stay a secret. According to Petrel, all of Team Rocket already knows.

What'll happen once everyone finds out? Will I still be able to be a trainer and Champion? Or will I have to stop?

I don't want to have to stop.

@team-aqua-official @maximilianmagma

You're both stupid!

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

I'm gonna be a reallyreally famous trainer!

So, uh, what do those of you who do the whole... adventure thing actually intend to do once that, you know, stops? It's gonna eventually. So, like, you have thought about that at least a little bit, right?

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

Reblog this post if you're a Zorua or Zoroark or Zor-adjacent!

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

Made it to Motosoke! And I have a new friend, Mintar the Minccino!

[A picture of a smug-looking Minccino. The Motosoke stadium can be seen in the background.]

What's that reallyreally big building?

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

Okok, a lot happened!

I got my seventh Johto badge from Pryce then people started talking about radio stuff and I heard one of the signals and Team Rocket was talking and now I'm in Goldenrod City and I'm gonna go in the Radio Tower and stop them!

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

I don't think I ordered the pizza correctly.

[A picture of a none pizza with left beef is attached.]

[zoruascanbetrainerstoo]

Unova's Victory Road isn't a road either! Why are all the Victory Roads reallyreally weird?

[A video is attached. Watch it?]

[The video begins with Illanero exiting a Corviknight Taxi near the Hulbury shore, only to find a few familiar faces.

A crowd of people clad in Team Aqua uniforms...washing off grime from Corsolas.

"Team Aqua?!" Illanero exclaimed, running over towards them. "What are you doing here?!"

"Illanero!" a voice says, as a man with an anchor necklace, Archie, approaches. "Didn't expect to see you here!"

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be atoning?" Illanero asks.

"That's exactly what we're doing!" Archie says, scrubbing the Corsola some more. "See, Galar's seas are very polluted, and it's very bad for the aquatic Pokemon here. So we're cleaning them off, so they can lead happy aquatic lives!"

"Wow!" Illanero said. "So you're helping now?"

"You could say that! An interpol agent said this was best for rehabilitating us. I think his name was Looker?" Archie said. "But I'm happy to keep the ocean's Pokemon safe and happy."

"...what happened to wanting to expand the oceans?" Illanero asked, tilting xyr head.

"Oh, I'm still planning on that," Archie says. "This time, though, in space! Mars would be perfect for giving a new habitat to my aquatic friends."

Illanero stared at Archie blankly.

"...you're still reallyreally weird," xey say, before walking away.

The video ends.]
