i can’t figure out how marc, in his current verse, would react to finding out about the activities of the criminal organizations. it’s likely that he would avoid them, but he also probably looks down on them for what they do. he’d probably take some pleasure in beating down some grunts in battle.

[grimsley-official]

I have a question. How did you become an elite four member? If the story's too personal feel free to delete my ask.

(//anonymous ask from @titanfae)

Oh my, while not "too personal", it is quite the long story~

Believe it or not, I was not initially interested in any sort of position within the Pokémon league. You see, I was quite the rebel of sorts as a child and didn't see myself fit for such a thing. Ah, but dear Marshal was extremely insistent about wanting to at least attempt to join... And, of course, I couldn't let Marshal join without me there to be better than him~

To our convenience, the League was searching for new trainers, as several spots had recently opened up. Marshal and I, along with Shauntal and Caitlin, decided to apply all together.

Now for those unaware, the Unovan League chooses it's newest Gym Leaders and Elite Four members with a bracket of sorts. Once you've been approved for said bracket, you have the opportunity to battle against a variety of other trainers in an attempt to stand out. Your skills as a trainer and type specialist are judged by the current Champion, Gym Leaders, and other Pokemon League employees... In our case, our battles were also televised~

Ah, long story short, the others and I were chosen to become the newest Elite Four members after gathering quite a lot of attention from both the public as well as the League~

[cheemken]

NAW THAT'S SO CUTE storing this away for later. Just so fond of these dragon sibs fr

YEAH but when you look at what the Academy Special consists of, there's like ramen and french fries and jellybeans to name a few. Don't know what about it that barely needs chewing so shooting him with my self projection beams, it's more of a texture thing for him. Need a variety of textures and flavours in one meal or else he won't finish it

OUGH just the image of Iris giving Drayton a piggyback ride is so precious. How she's realizing the small, good changes and grateful for his friends that's helping. Maybe it'll reach a point where she'll struggle a little but it's worth it. What's the use of all that training if she can't carry her precious lil bro you know?

Also I just love the idea of the E4 looking out for one another. Like that guy's a slacker but he's their slacker y'know? I know in my heart that if anyone tried to mess with any of the other E4, suddenly there's an arm slung over their shoulder, a deceptively laidback voice suggesting they 'knock it off if you know what's good for you'

Genuinely nothing's scarier than seeing Drayton angry about something cause with how much he let slide off his back and be chill about it, you know you messed up big time if you manage to be the target of his anger

Oughgh your honour dragon siblings real

But oh real shit that's the academy special?? Tbf,,, you can eat fries without chewing them,,, don't ask, I just know lmfaooo but yeah, w the texture and taste oh god anon I can vouch for that. But augh,,,,, Drayton w that too, how there's really certain food he refuses to eat, and like, maybe he really is just lazy to chew lmfao, I picture him being fond of smoothies and ice cream bc yeah, those really don't need chewing, he can legit just gulp it down hahaha

But right the dragon sibs are just so soft your honour listen chxmbx listen imagine if they always did that back then too, when they were younger Iris always gives him piggyback rides bc he loves it and he gets all happy and it fills her heart to see her lil bro so happy, but goddamn did he carry that into his teen years lmfaooo well it's okay, y'know, not like he really weights much to her, she's used to stuff like that given her training w their grandfather, plus it's nice y'know that through that she found out he became heavier, which means he's really eating well, so it lessened her worries a lil bit

And yeah omf protective Drayton is so real it's real to me your honour, it's canon in my heart. I know I said back then that maybe Iris and Drayton's dynamic would be similar to Sans and Papyrus undertale, cause yeah I thought that maybe they're the same age or Drayton is older, but now imagine him having the Sans vibes when it comes to his friends

Like yeah, he's pretty lazy, he's laid back, his friends always call him a slacker but you're right, he's their slacker, they started calling him the local slakoth lmfao, but still y'know, I imagine when he's pissed off he doesn't even look pissed. More like, he still has that lazy smile on his face, but there's this aura surrounding him y'know, the atmosphere is tense, and they can just tell that no, he's not playing around anymore, he legit won't hesitate to call out Archaludon if they press on while Drayton is pissed

Y'know despite his dynamic w Kieran now, I always picture him kinda going on to the kids who are scared of Kieran or like make fun of him now to knock it off. If I remember right, Carmine asked one of the BB E4 how Kieran was doing, I think it was Crispin, and he said that Kieran was doing well y'know, some kids are just scared of him. I wanna say that despite Drayton also kinda pissing off Kieran w the whole ex champion and payback thing, he still sees him as a friend, and doesn't want people to mess w him. After all, why would they even go against Drayton? He's the second strongest in their school, once the Champion of their league, and was trained by a Champion, if they go against him they know they'd instantly lose

Shout out to the person with the Ribombee who helped me catch my Iron Leaves.

That really made my day, and not just because of Iron Leaves.

[scarredsands]

even if orre doesnt have traditional wild pokemon in the games, i still have hcs anyways about wild pokemon that inhabit orre and one day i’ll write something on them :)

Are you accepting Fun Asks right now. because i know ur also a pokemon fan to somw degree. What kind of team do you think poketrainer olivia would have :]

I will always be accepting fun asks <3

I of course, imagine her having a rattata, and I also like to imagine she'd have a ditto as well. There's a lot of normal types I could see her having honestly, she just gives normal type trainer vibes. I honestly feel like she wouldn't actually personally keep any pokemon outside of work, but If I had to pick out a full team it'd probably be smth like rattata, ditto, porygon, eevee, kabuto, and furret!

[horizonboundtrainer]

Alice was considered an adult Ninetales at around 20 btw. ( She's currently in her 40s. ) Like yes they can live for thousands of year but that's mostly folklore. The average wild Ninetales doesn't even make it past a century and the odds of one hitting 1,000 are about the same as a human making it past 100.

Sure it can happen—Jeanne Calment even made it to 122! But keep in mind that she was also born into wealth and never had to worked a day in her life. Human centenarians are rare asf so it's perfectly reasonable to assume that nobody you know will ever reach that age.

It takes a very powerful, clever or lucky Ninetales to survive an entire millennia and the ones who do tend to be all three. They also tend to have been partnered with humans for generations because the existence of a wild Pokemon is a harsh one. There's a reason the oldest ones have spawned their own legends as fabled guardians of a particular town / family.

Revealing Your Relationship to the Public- Leon x GN!Reader

CW: Reader is shorter than Leon, just fluff tho lol

A/n: I blame my Pokémon Sword/Shield hyperfixation for this

WC: 500-ish

"Can you hold my hand?"

"Hm?"

"Could you hold my hand?" Leon asked again. You were standing in one of the entrances to the Wyndon Stadium battlefield. You had requested the battle, as you wanted to test how strong your Pokémon had become after training with him. He had (somehow) convinced you to enter the arena with him, even though you were supposed to enter on opposite sides. You were confused.

"Why?"

"Well, I just thought that maybe, y'know, we could go out and battle as a couple." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He never wanted to accidentally push things too far with your relationship.

"We battle all the time, love." You pointed out.

"I know, I know. But this time it's like…" He grabbed your hands. "It's official." You and Leon's relationship wasn’t out to the public yet, you were just known as friends. You were both seen in each other's (and Raihan's, to no one's surprise) social media posts. You were scared to let the public know. Being the partner of a celebrity couldn't be easy. Not to mention the lack of privacy that you would no doubt be forced to live with. On the other hand, it sucked only being able to show your love for each other in private. Even if it only meant some simple PDA in public (Leon doesn’t want to hurt his PG public image). Leon kissed the back of your hand, bringing you back to reality. "I don't want to pressure you at all." You felt blush creep up your cheeks at his statement.

"Do you really want to do this?" You asked him. He nodded.

"More than anything." You interlaced your fingers with his.

"Then let's do this." His face lit up at your response, causing you to smile. He leaned down and kissed you. He pulled away and gave your hand a squeeze. You started walking toward the battlefield together, the blinding lights of the stadium getting brighter.

"AND HERE COMES LEON!" The announcer yelled over the loudspeaker. "BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS HIS OPPONENT WITH HIM- AND THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS?!" Leon chuckled. He stopped in the middle of the arena and motioned for the crowd to quiet down. They did immediately.

"Everyone, I would like to introduce to you not only my opponent for this match, but my partner, Y/n!" The crowed erupted in screams of shock and adoration and also jealousy. He turned towards you.

"Sorry, I couldn’t help myself." You chuckled at your boyfriend's eagerness. You let go of his hand and grabbed his face, bringing him into a kiss. He happily kissed you back, moving his hands to grab your waist.

Sure, it might be scary revealing your relationship to the public, but with your lovable yamper of a boyfriend, you were sure that it wouldn’t be too bad.

A/n Pt. 2: Thanks for reading! If u like MHA, and want some more pokemon stuff, feel free to check out my masterlist (no pressure ofc :])

[isa-ah]

shiloh! he’s a breeder who’s favorite commissions are shinies, but he breeds for competitive stats too. occasionally he runs into fun genetic mutations, like two shiny zorua tumbling out of the same egg, but one looks a bit… odd. ofc he kept them!

shiny buneary and absol were his two firsts- happy accidents in the wild, several years apart! ponyta was bred and carries eggs close to her hot body, and sentret was hunted wild and evolved, now serving as his mount.

he makes good money so he’s all name brand baby. uncropped size comparisons below!

furret is huge and mischievous so there rlly isn't anything Shiloh can do to keep it out of trouble LOL

absol was very much an accident; Shiloh and his buneary had wandered too far into the mountains and absol helped to guide them away from danger. seeing another strangely colored pokemon like itself, it followed them home and Shiloh was all too pleased to keep it. he doesn't battle, so it was entirely absols choice to stay.

ponyta has egg holsters bc she's wayyyy too energetic to have to just sit around for her flame body to help with hatching eggs..! she's a space heater on the go. Shiloh has some decent land out in the country to breed on so she's got a pretty big field to roam.

lopunny. 😳 she's like a scout, keeping Shiloh's land patrolled and safe for the baby pokemon and eggs everywhere. she's the only one of his pokemon that battles, and she does it autonomously; he isn't much of a trainer lol they're partners! buneary was his first pokemon. he came across it and was so surprised and intrigued by her coat that he came back often until he had eventually befriended her.

the zorua twins are for fun. to call him a hisuian zorua might be an overstatement; I think of it like a genetic mutation that calls back to the fur texture of his ancestors? I don't know if his typing is actually different; his palette is just like normal zoruas! I figure if all you do all day is breed pokemon, then eventually you're going to run into mutations besides just shiny palettes, and they're his trophies when they happen!!!

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Ive seen you reblobing a lot of evolotto (i love that little creature too) by any chance you have some headcanons about the little guy?

Or could you write some hcs about reader having one and showing it to the paldea gang, Carmine and kieran? Reader doesnt even remember when they found it.. one day evolotto just bonked its head on readers legs and hasnt stopped following them since.

((Sorry if im asking for a lot i just like that lil guy a lot and i love your writing))

YES EVOLOTTO MY BELOVED RAAHH

It is very special to me ofc I have some headcanons (both general and with the SV gang)

.......

General

Legend claims that Evolotto was Arceus' first attempt at creating a Pokemon; it was only intended to be a "template" for what the god wanted to bring into the world. But it was kept hidden away until it found its way to Earth all on its own.

Many have theorized that its power is the source of the Evolution phenomenon.

Stories claim that a single touch from this creature can evolve a Pokémon instantly regardless of stats, circumstances, or items. But this has yet to be proven.

Scientists keep trying to catch/observe its traits in the wild, hoping to understand its powers--without any success.

The only thing that has been documented thus far are its attempts to evolve, in which it takes forms resembling the various Pokemon body shapes, although it uses them more for self-defense than battling.

Despite this and its connections to Arceus, it's unclear if it can learn Transform, Judgement, or use any of the plates.

Has a texture akin to soft dough or clay.

Eviolites are said to be ordinary stones that were blessed by Evolotto from the moment it touched the earth.

Like Mew, Arceus Latias, Latios, and Mewtwo, it can understand human language and speak telepathically, but is rather shy about it, preferring to keep to itself.

Hcs with the SV Trio

The odds of you stumbling across Evolotto were one in a million...

And during your exploration of Paldea, you so-happened to be checking out some ruins when the creature lightly nudged against your leg.

While your pokedex provided very little information on it, you find it to be quite cute and so you decide to capture it.

Surprisingly, it rejects the pokeball, but doesn't break it.

You wonder how and why....but after Evolotto just stared at you with its beady red eyes, you stopped questioning it and decided to let it accompany you around Paldea.

It'll assume its more humanoid forms when it attends class with you, even sitting in a chair and listening to the professor like it was a student.

Eventually you tell your friends at the Academy about the new Pokémon you found, convincing it to demonstrate its abilities.

Nemona thinks it looks like some kid's art project in Hassel's class, only to be excited when it starts moving around and shows off some of its alternate forms.

She hoped to battle it, but after seeing it scurry behind you for protection, she feels bad and offers it candy as an apology.

Arven thought it was another food-themed Pokémon like Fidough, but not even you knew what it was supposed to be. No factual records at the academy's library existed on it that any of you could find.

It was all just speculation and theories, the most popular ones being "it was conceived by Arceus to make evolution possible" and "eviolites are ordinary stones blessed by it".

You decided to trust in these claims.

Even Penny was curious about it, although she thought it was...quite strange that nobody's been able to catch one. But it somehow warmed up to you.

Regardless, her Eevee team adored the fella, so it didn't really matter.

HCs with Carmine & Kieran

You brought Evolotto to Kitakami during your trip, simply because the little guy refused to leave your side.

And after getting to know the siblings better and wondering if they knew anything about it, you decided to show them....and both of them act like you just gave them a million dollars.

They've read about this Pokémon before! And it was in your hands!

It was real all along..

After calming down about it, Carmine lowkey gets annoyed that Evolotto doesn't wanna battle and just...sticks to you like glue, letting you carry it around like a puppy.

You keep telling her that it won't go into a pokeball (but she'll still tease you about trying to "show off" even when that's not your intention).

While Kieran finds it cute and defends it from his sister's rude remarks, he does get a bit jealous when you're also getting Ogerpon's attention.

But in the end, when she chose you over him, he vows to gain ownership over Evolotto as a "prize" for beating you in the championship battle when you arrive to BB Academy.

Of course...he doesn't win.

After you two reconcile, he asks if you've learned anything new about the Pokémon, but otherwise has regained enough respect from Evolotto to give it head pats occasionally.

OKAY Y'ALL BUT WTF WAS THIS CHAPTER IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT AS IM TYPING SO EXCUSE THE TYPOS.

(this is very much a "ume thanking sakura again" breakdown and also me crying about class 1-1 being the best people in the world wthhh)

Spoilers for Wind Breaker Chapter 162 Ahead!

THE TITLE?!?! THE TITLE.

"Everyone's Feelings"

Going into it went "oop this gonna make me cry at the end" and I STILL AM. THESE TEARS ARE FOR SAKURA AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO FEELS A LOT FOR SAKURA.

I was so prepared for things to end last chapter, NOPE, turns out there was MORE. *tumbles off of my chair*

Roppo Ichiza & Gravel are not at all subtle in trying to poach (not actually but in my eyes this is what i sees) Sakura via gaming like catnip and I'm oh so down for that what. Quality time with the allies y'all, I just love the comraderie!! Sakura is collecting so many big brother figures like they're pokemon. The best one is obviously Suzuri, no questions ask ("but Ume claimed him first-" HUSH DEARS WE ARE LETTING SUZURI TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT).

Ofc Suo ever the shit stirrer but we get an amazing look at Sakura's stompy stomp!!

My thoughts on Umemiya and Sakura's moment post-Noroshi:

Umemiya thanking Sakura again but this time for reaching out to their allies is such a beautiful moment!!

I understand why Ume never thought about asking for help because the man has been burdening himself with so much responsibilities. He saw the fight with Noroshi, or rather HIS fight with Takiishi, as HIS responsibility and everyone else involved were collateral to the consequences of his "failures" (i.e. not being able to defeat Takiishi sooner). His mind was clouded with so much pressure over what he has to do to maintain the peace he helped build in Makochi that it limited his vision, feeling like he can only rely on people within reach (Bofurin). It didn't help that Ume and his kings continually treating and referring to Noroshi as THEIR shadows and THEIR past, thus THEIR problem so its no wonder that same sentiment ripple down to everyone else in Furin too. Everyone except Sakura that is.

Sure, an argument can be made that had things not gone over well with Shishitoren and Gravel, there wouldn't be any allies to ask help from but I'd counter-argue that Roppo Ichiza was already an established ally of Furin. If Sakura hadn't been there and the battle of Noroshi was still set in motion, I wholeheartedly believe that Bofurin wouldn't have reached out to them at all. This is because of their conditioned mindset of not having anyone but each other (in Furin) dealing with the problems that threaten their town. Makochi residents are so used to dealing with things internally.

Sakura—who's new in town, had begun the process of learning to rely on people and was traumatized by his recklessness during the KEEL arc—had no such limitation or mindset and that's why only he had the thought of asking aid from their allies. Only he was able to think of the bigger picture in this situation. Expecting Noroshi to have an army? Well let's get an army of our own too! Especially when he knows the strengths of his allies so it added to their defense and offense.

So yes! Sakura IS amazing and we should give him the biggest round of applause because he single handedly turned the tide on the battle by doing the one thing Chapter 1 Sakura wouldn't thought of doing: asking for help.

Which is why this panel hurts me so much. It hurts because he's already a shining presence similar to Ume and he did it just by being himself. I hope that later on, Sakura will recognizes that for himself too.

He doesn't have to be another Umemiya, he just needs to be the better him.

Hiragi says it best about what makes Sakura so captivating yet incredibly fragile and all of Class 1-1 understands this very well.

Someone needs to look out for Sakura because if they don't, he'll fall into the same mistakes and flawed mindset Umemiya had.

Every moment they had done leading up to the barbeque was most likely a part of that drive. The drive to be strong enough to help carry Sakura's current and future burdens so he wouldn't have to do it alone. And they'll continue to do so as long as they stand behind their beloved grade captain, their leader.

NII-SENSEI, WHAT GAVE YOU THE AUDACITY TO TUG ON MY HEARTSTRINGS LIKE THISSS. OMGGGG WTFFF. *wailing and sobbing pathetically in the corner*

—

Honorable (Silly) Mentions (because my heart is in pain and i need humor to mend it):

The Togasaku stare, Sakura's sixth sense for Togame looking at him is just hrk im dying. My heart is so full of affection for Sakura and then they add this??? At THE BEGINNING??? SIRS STOP MAKING EYES AT EACH OTHER!! Y'ALL MAKE ME SICK (with love)

Choji why are you so squishable, you absolute fiend. I love you reincarnation of the killer rabbit of Caerbannog!!

Kanuma, honey, you gotta stand up for yourself :(!! Suo's not even looking at you directly (or is he 👀)

—

I'm dead, deceased even. Nii-sensei, their team and the official english TL team have killed me and dumped my body in a river of my own tears. DECEASED I TELL YOU!! The biggest love sending their way because wow haha I've crying for the past hour.

Thank you for reading this post too, my usual bs spouting nonsense but emotional edition. Still I'm happy with how it turned out because I realized a lot of things on why Noroshi arc was so much more different than the previous battles, sharing the most similarities with KEEL in terms of how unprepared Furin was to face their opponents and winning had only been in their favor with the outside help. Which I also liked to think was partially where Sakura had came up with the idea thus fully learning his lesson on what it means to bear the responsibilities of a leader.
