Scott Orr- In the Belly of a Whale

I haven't been posting here as much as I would like, mainly because I'm trying to catch up on a lot of other work. I've been trying to finish editing a ton of photos from this past summer, as well as tracking live shows I recorded this past summer. That backlog has lead to me neglecting a few other things, such as this site. I'm reaching the end of most of those other projects (within the next couple weeks), so hopefully this site will see more activity at that point. In the meantime, check out this song I've really been digging this song by Canadian singer/songwriter Scott Orr.

Trainer Titles and Meaning?

Pokemon League Officials: These are the official titles recognized by the International Pokemon League Association (IPLA). They are the "global standard" of trainer battles and has been adopted in many countries. Usually, these are the trainers that go to the Pokeworld version of the "Olympics" or the official Pokemon World Tournament (PWT)

Rules: No Legendary or Mythical class Pokemon are permitted due to the Mirage Species Clause, even if the trainer has a permit. One of the many reasons for this clause is that League battles are broadcasted and heavily advertised... However, this can often get ignored due to special circumstances.

Gym Leader - Usually specializes in one type. Type generalists exist with Justy in Orre, but they are the exception and not the rule. Specialization comes from knowledge due to career, ease of breeding and husbandry, or out of personal preference. They usually have a large amount of Pokemon that are perfect for beginner challengers or expert challengers.

Elite Four - Usually specializes in one type, but has a wider range of dual types or even wild cards. Still, the type focus seems to be almost an unspoken rule or League tradition. Type Specialization is often criticized as being too restrictive, but it is the easiest form of Pokemon training that people often gravitate towards.

Champion - A random draw between Type Focus and Type Generalists, usually taken by the ladder. Being a master of many typed Pokemon makes for strong trainers not because of type advantage, but because it's a visual showcase of being able to master different advantages and weaknesses. Type Focus trainers can be still just as strong, however.

League Defectors: These are trainer titles unrecognized by official standardization, and are often the go-to for various trainers that do not like the criteria set by the IPLA or simply enjoy different forms of battling. They are sometimes colloquial known as "Battle Facilities." Frontier Brains are often mistaken to be type specialists like the league ordinance, but are actually quite in opposition of such.

Rules: Silver Legendary Class Pokemon such as Raikou and Articuno are permitted, but Mythicals remain banned. Golden Legendary Class Pokemon like Lugia and Groudon remain banned.

Frontier Brain - (Non-Tower) A title developed by Scott Enishida for Battle Frontiers. Frontier Brains are scouted out of a wide variety of trainers that are not type specialists and often have a unique forms of battle, intense knowledge of all species, or a flashy gimmick.

Tower Tycoon - A very specific Frontier Brain title. It is in the same ranking as other Frontier Brains, but is unofficially deemed as the spiritual Champion title for their specific Battle Frontier.

Subway Boss and Battle Chatelaine - Titles regarded as unofficial Tower Tycoons of other regions. Though unaffiliated, they often hold similar meaning if a region has only one main Battle Facility.

Cultural Ambassadors: These are trainer titles not affiliated by the Pokemon League and are historical in nature. Often, regions or entire countries will reject modern league bureaucracy to keep their cultural traditions intact.

Trial Captains - Alola based trainers that care for Totem Pokemon. They are often mischaracterized as Alola's Gym Leaders.

Kahuna - Alola based trainers that are chosen by a patron island spirit known as the Tapu. They are the final challenge for an islands set of Trial Captains before a challenger can move forward to the next. In modern times, some act in the official Alola Elite Four, though it is not necessary.

Warden - Historically Sinnoh based trainers that used to care for what was referred to as Noble Pokemon. This practice was last seen in the early 1950s as the IPLA began to rise in popularity, though some much smaller form of it remains today.

POKEMON DOSSIER: SLEDGE

SPECIES: Steelix (M) ABILITY: Sturdy POKEGO SIZE: L OT: ??? MET: Acquired through an underground Rocket trading network

Sledge has a careful nature and enjoys eating iron or other scrap metals. He takes plenty of siestas. Lucy's most reclusive Pokemon by far, this behemoth ground snake slumbers beneath the Battle Pyramid and will very rarely participate in battles, lest his humongous frame damage the Pike's arena. Sledge serves as Lucy's primary mode of land transport whenever the Pike Queen wants to make a grand entrance atop his back, such as: whenever they visit Orre together. (Sledge loves the climate there.)

Lucy acquired Sledge in a trade with Team Rocket. Not much is known about the Onix's origins--only that he was utilized in Kanto's Mt. Moon to help facilitate Rocket digging operations in the area. When those operations were abandoned, Sledge was effectively fostered by the team until Lucy--tipped off by an underground connection--came along as a suitable trade partner for him. The Pike Queen had desired owning an Onix for a while (with the species being unavailable in Hoenn) and this just happened to be another lucky coincidence. In exchange for a generous amount of cash, Rocket's negotiators even threw in a Metal Coat, prompting Sledge's evolution into a Steelix.

Upon his introduction to the Frontier, Lucy had to convince Scott and the other Brains that Sledge wouldn't completely tear up the man-made battling paradise. Her argument was won almost immediately when Sledge burrowed deep under the Battle Pyramid and promptly...fell asleep there for days. (She'd work out an arrangement for 'lodgings' with Brandon later...)

Decades of hard work under Rocket have only toughened Sledge's resilience. When he is deployed for battle, it's almost impossible to leave a scratch on him. However, he is one of Lucy's gentlest Pokemon and will often just win by doing nothing, his opponent wearing themselves out all on their own.

Sledge can often be found comfortably lurking within Brandon's Battle Pyramid, usually alongside Lucy's Dunsparce. These two have a symbiotic relationship: Dunsparce burrows deep to find good mineral snacks for them, and Sledge...tolerates Dunsparce's destructive habits. Lucy will frequently visit to drop off rare or unusual materials for Sledge to munch on. (He's quite the foodie, you see...)

With the success of this trade with Rocket, Lucy is already focusing on her next target: an Ekans. God! She wants an Ekans or Arbok so badly...

About a month ago, I took a trip to Australia and met up with Ted while he was in the ward. I, against the instruction of the staff, recorded our interaction, but the audio was completely garbled. Gibberish to anyone but Ted and I, probably. Don’t use a spy pen from a happy meal if you plan to actually hear it back. Luckily, with my supreme memory assisted by what little I could hear, I was able to write out this thing. I guess transcribing audio logs is all tumblr’s good for? I wasn’t going to post it, but Ted was right, someone can probably make use of anything. So here, if this connects any dots, use it.

[Clicking sound, audio starts. Bitcrushed throughout, with intermittent loud plasticky sounds.]

Ted: Uh.

Me: Hi. Scott, um, karvingwood. Scott Kulver. I decoded the shit on the blog.

Ted: Right, right.. You- you’re American, though. How did you-?

Me: It was an expensive flight. Can I ask you some questions?

Ted: [pause, slightly incredulous huff] Slow down, I think I have some questions first? How did you find me? Why did you find me?

Me: Oh, easy, I asked the Star person on your tumblr. I needed to talk to you, so if I could just?- [the ‘wub wub’ sound paper makes when you flap it]

Ted: Fine, get on with it.

Me: Thanks. So, firstly- [pause, reading from notes I had] … Um, in ‘January’, the video doesn’t glitch when [hesitation] the Tall Guy’s around. What’s up with that?

Ted: I cou-

Me: Talk into the pen please.

Ted: Is that a mic-? ..eh, okay. I couldn’t tell you. I didn’t edit the video. Mmmaybe it had something to do with Virus? That was the first time I’d filmed meeting Him with the mask on. Maybe it interfered, or He just chose not to corrupt it.. Who knows.

Me: Okay, cool. Speaking of Virus, what is it like wearing, uh, him?

Ted: Like a buff in a video game. Invincibility or immunity or something. I don’t get tired, I don’t need to eat, I can be in His presence without feeling sick. It catches up when I take it off, but..

Me: When orr where did you get it?

[six seconds of silence]

Me: Oookay. New line of questions. When did you start seeing Ezra?

Ted: I was 18, so, uh.. God, must’ve been 2022? Early in the year. Kit recommended I ask to see her when I was getting diagnosed with depression. Said she was a great listener, stopped listening when they turned 20, for some reason, so they stopped going. Always felt like there might’ve been more to it. I wasn’t having the same issues, so I just.. kept seeing her.

Me: Kit.. I like the Murphys. Nice ride over.

Ted: Wh- you met them?

Me: Oh, yeah, Kit drove me here. Might see Freyja tonight. We saw a cat on the way, cute black one with just the biggest moon eyes. Reminded me of your little lady. Anyways,-

[quiet huff/sigh noise from Ted]

Me: -speaking of Ezra, [gesturing at arm] what’s the symbol been doing for you?

Ted: Fuck all, as far as I’m concerned. He shows up more frequently than I remember, but that’s probably just because the.. Yknow. Things keep on dropping. He’s like a vulture, just… showing up when something dies to take it.

Me: Mm. And your arm, how is it? Healing up?

Ted: It’s.. fine, I guess. The nurses replaced the bandages to make sure it can heal properly.

Me: Sick, good. That’d be a sweetass scar, but yknow. So the staff’s been treating you fine, I take it.

Ted: There’s a group of nurses I really don’t vibe with, but they keep their distance if I’m not alone.

Me: Makes sense. So, um, on the subject of bodies. [voice lowers] How did you start with the sacrifices?

Ted: [sound of chair scooting back] Jesus christ, say that any louder?

Me: Sorry.

Ted: [voice also lowers] …Look, I’m not going to give you advice on culty killing sprees or anything. The first one was an accident. Kind of. A bird. Swung at it, killed it, and when I found it in my suitcase of all places.. I offered it up, and He sure as shit showed up to take it.

Me: Mm. Has He showed up at all while you’ve been here?

Ted: Yeah, a few times. A few patients, uh.. [lowering voice again] A few nurses have died since I’ve been here. Not my work, I swear to god, but He’s taking them like they’re more sacrifices. Lucky me. There, um.. Three of them. Clearly not natural causes, either. One’s head was caved in, one had their throat slit, and.. And one was bleeding from the face. Something isn’t right here but if I can keep my head down I can get the fuck outta here. Last thing I need is to end up like them.

Me: I’d break you out if I could. [soft laugh]. Well, thanks for, um, your honesty. [chair scooting back sound] It was nice to meet you, Ted! [sound of notebook closing] I’m sure we’ll be-

[clicking sound, audio end]
