#pokemon aim to be a master

[scraftyisthebest]

As one story ends, another begins, yet the unique essence of a Pokemon protagonist lives on, even from old to new.

Through Liko, the essence of Ash's journey and character live on, as Liko too aims to be one who understands, befriends, and connects with Pokemon around the world, even if the path she takes to get there may differ, the aim is the same: to know the world, to connect with Pokemon, seeing them as friends and partners.

The essence of a Pokemon protagonist, the essence of a Pokemon Master. A Trainer who aims to understand Pokemon, and strives for connection. Ash is one who trained to understand Pokemon, which proved to be his greatest strength, and Liko too is on her way to becoming the kind of Trainer who can connect with the Pokemon she meets.

The End of an Era (And My Childhood)

[ratwithhands]

I have overloaded my brain (11 epsiodes and 109 manga chapters). Anyways while I wait for more Kaiju No. 8 content to drop, time for another ✨submas AU✨

I currently only have Emmet designed but essentially the idea is that following the big fight with no. 9, the JAKDF manages to get in connection with the US to get some assistance with rebuilding and supporting their forces as everything get repaired. This is based off this panel from the manga:

Essentially a couple of soldiers and a lot of materials are sent to Japan to help get everything settled. Among the people sent over are the twins, along with their weapons. Until the next Kaiju comes in (and they're cleared to join in the battle), they're mostly getting to know the other captains and having fun talking about the tactic differences between the Defense Forces.

Here's some bonus doodles and Emmet's drill.

The auger is meant to be put into the spine or skull of the Kaiju. The pins stab into the body to keep it in place (Emmet usually also helps hold it down), at which point the auger starts drilling into the muscle and bone. This will not kill it, but it will distract/impair it enough for the rest of his team to take it down. Cores are usually too deep for him to use it for a killing blow, but in instances where the core is exposed long enough for him to set the drill in place, it will tear through and bring the Kaiju down.

Hope you guys enjoy the concept, let me know if you guys want to see more/see specific interactions. See ya!

Today marks a year since The Rainbow and the Pokemon Master aired in Japan, the last episode of Ash's series.

Honestly, tho I grew up with Ash and have a lot of nostalgia towards him (this ain't coming from a place of dislike or nothing), I am happy they finally retired him and went an entirely new direction with Horizons.

(More because it's doing its own unique storyline, you don't really know where the plot's gonna go. It makes watching it more interesting imo. I also really love the Explorers as a villain team and how cool Friede is )

After all these years, we finally know what it means to be a Pokémon Master. Not just battling or catching Pokémon, but being friends with all of them. No one is better than that than Ash. 😊

“Cerulean City Gym, Misty speaking.”

“Hey, what do you think the difference is between ‘beef with country vegetables’ and ‘old fashioned vegetable beef?’”

Misty snorted and tossed another scoop of pokemon food into the tank. “Hello to you too, Ash. What, exactly, are we talking about?” she asked.

Ash sighed like Misty was the one wasting his time here, which was not even remotely fair as he was the one who called her, and answered, “Soup.”

“Oh Ash. You are so lucky you don’t travel alone much,” Misty said with a chuckle, shaking her head, embarrassingly fond. “Shouldn’t you call Brock or Mallow about this?”

“Ugh, no. They’d judge me for not knowing. You’re just as clueless about cooking as I am.”

Misty rolled her eyes, but she supposed she couldn’t argue with that, so she chose to ignore that particular dig. “I don’t know if heating up a can of soup over a campfire really counts as cooking, Ash.”

“Mistyyyy,” he whined.

She smirked, but gave in. Just like always when it came to him. “Is there anything else helpful on the can or anything?”

Ash hummed, and she could picture him turning the cans over in his hands, eyebrows furrowed. “They both say fifteen grams of protein.”

“Helpful.”

“The pictures are…kinda different? I guess. They both have the same vegetables, but one shows two chunks of beef and the other only shows one.”

“Oh well, there’s your answer,” Misty said, as seriously as she could make herself sound without laughing, climbing down from her ladder, the RotomPhone pressed between her ear and shoulder. “Go with the two beef for sure.”

Ash snorted briefly, and she faintly heard the can plink into a basket. “Done. Thanks, Mist! Pikachu says hi! Please don’t tell Brock about this! Miss you! Bye!”

Misty laughed, wishing he and Pikachu well, and hanging up the phone, immediately opened a search engine and typed into the search bar: ‘Difference between beef with country vegetables and old fashioned vegetable beef soup’

Ash's final episode aired in the dub today, and bon voyage, old friend 👋

The instrumental Gotta Catch 'Em All was a nice touch.

After 21 years I never would have guessed they would have made Heroes canon, words cannot describe how amazing this throwback truly is.
