If I were a Pokémon gym leader...

-SPECIALTY: Water Type💦

-OUTFIT: It may not have much to do with my element, but these clothes are similar to the ones I usually wear. Not all gym leaders wear outfits that are related to their types. Plus, they have blue all over them. If anything, you can imagine I'm wearing a swimming suit underneath.

-AESTHETIC (MY VIBES): I may be a water type specialist, but that doesn't mean I spend all day doind activities related to it. I actually prefer to stay at home and chill. However, I do enjoy swimming and it helps that I live next to the sea.

-BATTLEFIELD: Since I couldn't come up with my favorite field, you can look at these examples I found on the Internet and picture it in your mind. All in all, there would be a huge inner pool with different depth levels, with also some space to fight out of the water.

-TEAM:

Draco, the Gyarados. Having one always does you good. The name speaks for itself.

Georgina, the Araquanid. I really like it and wanted some Alola representation. I once had an araquanic in one of my lockes in Pokemon Indigo, so I wanted to honor her here.

Angel, the Lapras. I was gonna pick Milotic but this one can gigantamax so... The name has no explanation. A pretty name for a pretty creature.

Babosa, the Gastrodon. Same. Swampert was going to be in this spot, but I already had chosen one starter. For those who don't know, 'babosa' literally translates into slug.

Pancho, the Ludicolo. The 'lightning rod' pokemon. I think his name needs not a translation.

Alejandro, the Quaquaval. My starter because I like the design and I'm Spanish, and the name because I love Lady Gaga.

-BADGE: Yeah, I know what you're thinking. I had no imagination left at this point.

Well, that was it! What do you think? If you were a pokemon gym leader, what element would you pick? What team would you use? Doing this was so much fun, so I encourage you to do it yourselves. Make up your own team and background.

The purple Gyarados was self-indulgent but was it really the best I could make?

HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO FINISH POKEROGUE WTF????

[moe-broey]

Was thinking about that vid actually and wanted to share it just in case anyone needed it! It focuses on legitimately obtaining Pokemon, but has some really useful and obscure tidbits that you may have forgotten about, and will be lost to time once the shop goes down.

Such as:

> PokéBank will become free to use once the eShop goes down, HOWEVER. PokéTransporter will NOT be available to anyone who decides to wait until PokéBank is free if they haven't downloaded it/subbed to Bank previously. Good news is, a Bank subscription is only $5 and even though you can't add funds with a credit card or eShop card at this point, there's still a way to link funds using your Nintendo account (vid goes over this detail!)

> Obtaining the Dream Radar Therian forms of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus (also grants them their Hidden Abilities)

> Easily obtained Gen 1/2 Hidden Ability Pokemon via Transporter, plus moves exclusive to those gens (cannot be legitimately learned in newer games)

> Catchable Celebi in Crystal Version

> Mega Glalie (or Mega Steelix depending on your 3DS's region) from the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo that can be transferred to the full games

> Ash Greninja (has the ability Battle Bond) from the Sun and Moon demos that can be transferred to the full game

The eShop is shutting down this month! March 27th! So if any of this interests you, make sure you have everything!

silver and his gyarados.

this relationship happened to be one of the more tumultuous ones amongst the metals team. the manner in which silver caught gyarados was innately disastrous, a thwarting attempt to the workings of team rocket forcing evolution via radio waves. subsequently, forcing the newly and unnaturally evolved gyarados to begin rampaging to the degree of causing severe inclement weather in the nearby area and town. silver and gold located the red and odd one out to be the source of amplification, possibly the alpha of the school, and silver had been successful in closing distance and capturing him.

they were both hurting and broken hearts that took that pain and hatred towards the world and made it their fuel to keep going. that want to rage, rage, and rage some more because surely that was the only thing there was to this life? only knowing destruction in the face of their wrath? a way to sort of say 'fuck the world,' seizing power at the first glimpse of it because that's the only way they thought they could change their lives.

and from that was where their interests became mutually aligned, motivation to fight from a place of deepset despair and to bring down those that had wronged them. gyarados had noticed silver's pain, and in a way he recognized his, even when he ignored his pokemon's hearts and thoughts to a detriment as a lost kid.

silver had a hard time in general in getting along with his pokemon in the beginning, a hard fought battle to recognize behaviors and change over the course of roughly seven to eight years. he'd only started having a perspective change when he'd found steven stone, and demanded a battle from him - only to end up losing miserably and him verbally confronting / making silver face the reality in which he forced his pokemon into. when steven had once reached into silver's heart, saw the deepest flaws and insecurities and spoke so matter-of-factly in brutal truths :

“ how in all the potential of this earth do you expect to accomplish anything when you very obviously do not give your team the gift of trust? " with the absolute lack of synergy you have, there's no way on this earth you even had half a chance of defeating me. even if your pokemon were all fully evolved, i still would have pummeled you. "

those words stuck with him until present day. a kindler of hatred when he was a kid and didn’t understand any better ; now borne as a reminder from whence he came.

since then, silver and his pokemon have truly contemplated and reflected on what it means to be a team.

and even further than that, when he was free from petrification and was able to still connect with feraligatr while in stasis -- it all points him down the road in that his pokemon were not merely a means to an end. when he was able to connect with them in this state between life and death, with feraligatr, and learn the ultimate move in a tangible trophy to their evolving bond.

when that had happened and the battle was over, he did end up seeking steven out again. there was progress still to be made, however much his mind started opening he did not put it into practice yet. and so silver turned to each and every single one of his pokemon after that, and made them a deep, heartfelt promise that he would do his best to let them help him. that he'd help them, rather than isolating himself physically and mentally. that he would see them as equals, rather than not-quite-tools.

and when he'd come to gyarados, they both stared for a long time at each other. a thousand things spoken in a mutual language only they seemed to understand, without any movement or any words. eventually, after a considerable amount of passing time with their stare, his pokemon grunted, closing mouth and eyes to bump silver in a newfound show of affection. he cried that night, for the first time in years ; wrapped arms around gyarados and profusely apologized until he'd calmed himself down enough to sleep.

and then, mega evolution had crossed his radar from green, blue, and steven.

it was a push. a push for him to finally settle what he thought he knew all for all these years, and learn a different way of existing. of thinking, and caring for, and working together. gyarados was able to mega evolve for the first time after he'd finally rested ungloved hands on red scales and renewed his promise to care for / work together / love.

they were able to master it as quickly as the ultimate move.

separate post on mega evolution + that journey will be written + linked here soon.

The two paint pictures with Rowlet are requested from a person. So please don't use them!

Charizards and Noivern are drawed of from pictures. One is on the wall, drawed with acrylic paint and the others are with pen and then colored.

I really like Pokémon. It's my childhood and I still play Pokémon even when I'm almost thirty xD

What do you like the most?

Let me know :)

[momolith]
