INTRO(MUSE AND MUN) + TEAM

YO I'm Barry! I'm a really strong trainer from Twinleaf Town. You probably know where that is- you should! Anyways, I'm on Tumblr now thanks to one of my friend's recommendations. He says Twitter would make me too mad, but I can't be that irritable, right? Okay, maybe I am. I did fine him for saying that, and he owes me money now... Maybe I'll let him off of it.

By the way, ask me stuff if you want! I won't be surprised if you have questions, and it's not like I'll shoot lasers at you for asking! (I can't even do that... Would B really cool though, right???)

Sorry if I get a little down sometimes, things just haven't been swaying my way. Dad tells me that the tides will change though, and I just gotta hope he's right, right?

// ooc : hi, i'm Ethan. good things to note; i'm a minor and will delete any suggestive asks, as well as block anybody who attempts to do NSFW interactions with me. also, Barry is 15 in this, just short of a year after his version of Dawn disappeared to Hisui. he's getting back into the groove of things, but if you poke about it then he won't be so happy.

i'm sorta new to pokeblogging, i have no idea what a Musharna Mail or a Pelipper Mail is and i can't find anything about it unfortunately.. if you can, send an ask telling me what that is. it's really appreciated. (edit: figured out what those are lol. thanks to the people that told me!!)

i am weird (read: i project onto my fictional blorbos) and think Barry is enby. he uses he/they. mun uses he/cos so thatsa neat!

i follow from @glacial-heart

thanks for reading!

OCtober Writing Prompts Day 5 - Childhood Memory

A memory from Karrigan’s early childhood, when she was 9 years old.

It’s a warm summer day. The noonday sun mellows as it filters the leaves overhead and a breeze rustles through the boughs all about us. We’re in Red Larch with papa, Harri and I got to go with dad on his trip this year. Papa goes every year to meet with his partner Mr. Braun. This is the first time I get to come. Mama said I could go when I was older but Harri got to go when he was like 6, and Alton came to visit when he was 7. It’s so not fair. I don’t get to do anything fun. Papa wouldn’t even let me go out in the orchard without Harri coming. I’m grown up, I don’t need my big brother to watch me all the time. Stupid sickness, you ruin everything.

At least I’m not really sick right now. Alton is stuck in bed with the shakes so he can’t play today. His mama said maybe tomorrow, but maybe not. I wonder if he has to drink broth. When I was sick two weeks ago mama didn’t let me have anything but broth for a whole week. At least papa told mama I got to come this week, she wanted me to stay home. I was so mad, I’ve been waiting all year to come see Alton. And now he’s sick too. Ugh.

It’s nice out though. The grass is warm and it feels good between my toes. It’s nice to be outside and I don’t get to play with Harri very much. Mama doesn’t want me to get too far out from the house and Harri gets to go off the whole entire farm, so I can’t go along most of the time. I asked mama if I can go out like Harri does when I’m older but she just said maybe. It’s not fair.

Harri’s saying something. He’s been talking for a while, I guess I wasn’t listening. I blink up at him and start listening, maybe I can figure it out.

“... and I beat everyone at knock the block, even Martyn! He thinks he’s better at it just because he’s older but papa says I’m even a better shot than Rollo, and he’s the oldest so I must be pretty good huh?” Harri grins at me, waiting for a response.

“Uh, yeah. I guess.”

Harri frowns, “You weren’t listening were you.”

“Was too.”

“Nuh uh, you were pouting.”

“Was not.”

“Was too.”

“Hush up. What do you care.”

Harri shrugs, “Dunno. Are you gonna pout all day?”

“Maybe. No. I’m not pouting.”

“Is it because Alton is sick?”

I turn to him and stomp my foot as hard as I can, which isn’t as hard as I’d like, “Hush up! I said I’m not pouting!” I cross my arms and stick out my jaw, “I’m just hungry is all. Or something”

“Me too, I guess.” He stops for a minute, looks around, and shins up the tree he’s walking past. He pops his head out from the leaves, chewing a mouthful of fruit, and calls down to me. “Karri, you want an apple?”

I huff in annoyance. Dummy. I can get it myself. I run towards the tree, hopping on an upturned bucket to get a little bit of height, then latch my arms around it. I might be small but I’m wiry, I can climb a tree just fine. Probably.

“Uh, Karri? I can getcha an apple. You don’t gotta climb up.”

“It’s f-fine.” I grip as tight as I can and start to scoot my way upwards, I can’t fit my arms around the tree so I’m just gripping with my fingers. They’re starting to hurt but its fine, I can make it.

“You sure thatsa good idea sis? Itsa pretty big fall.”

“I said… it’s fine.” I’m breathing hard and I’ve barely made it a few feet. The lower branches seem so far away but I can do this! I’ll show him. I can do it too.

“Karri stop, you could get hurt. Mama would freak out.”

“Mama’s not here! I can... do this! Leave me a- AAGH”

Just as I reach the lower branches, a big piece of bark that I thought was a knot breaks off in my hand. I scramble for a hold for a split-second then begin to fall. It’s a long way down for a halfling kid. I shove away from the tree and land on my back with a thump, knocking the air out of my lungs, and banging the back of my head on a root. I lie there for a second with the wind knocked out of me, before rolling onto my side and curling into a ball, clutching at my head.

Harri scrambles down from the tree and runs over to me. “Karri! Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“Owwwwwwww” I whine, once I’ve caught my breath. “It huuuuurts.”

“Here, let me see.” Harri grabs my hand and pulls it away from my head, then pulls my hair aside to get a better look. He pokes and I whine louder. “Sorry, sis. Gotta check.”

I sniffle but don’t fight him as he pulls me onto his lap, poking and prodding at my head and neck. One of the orchard workers, I think she’s a human, has come over to see what’s wrong, they must have heard me fall. I try to look down so they don’t see me dry my eyes but Harri holds my head still. Harri talks to them in common, I think he’s saying I’m okay. I don’t get to practice very much so I don’t understand very well. The worker goes away but I stay quiet.

“Well you’re not bleeding and your head doesn’t feel funny. I think you’re okay sis.”

“Okay.” I sniffle and wipe my nose, “Don’t tell dad, please?”

“You’re gonna have a bump.”

“Mama packed my hat. So I didn’t get too much sun.” I pull a face.

“You could have gotten hurt. You scared me sis.”

I look down, then back up at him, shamefaced, “I know. I’m sorry. I just… I want to do what you and Rollo and Cadi and the others can do. But I’m not even allowed to try. It’s not…”

“It’s not fair?”

“... yeah.”

“Yeah.”

We sit there for a minute. I still hate it, but I feel better that Harri gets it. Mama and Elli and the others just give me reasons I’m not allowed to do things but Harri doesn’t do that. He agrees. Why did I have to get stuck with this stupid sickness. It’s not fair.

“Hey Karri, you want to head back and get your hat? We can come back later.”

“...Yeah. I guess.”

He stands and reaches down to me, I grudgingly take his hand and let him help me up. He grins at me, and points over his shoulder with his thumb. “Hop on sis.”

I groan, this again. “Come on Harri, do I really have to?”

He looks at me seriously, “Yeah. You hit your head sis, you’re gonna be dizzy. Besides, we’ve been out here walking for hours. You’re wearing yourself out.”

I cross my arms, pouting. I’m only a little bit dizzy. And I’m not tired, I’m just a little dozy from being in the sun. That’s what it is.

Harri sighs, “Come on sis. I’ll make you a deal. If you let me carry you I’ll ask papa if we can go to the market. We can get some honey chews and a present to make Alton feel better. Okay?”

I slump my shoulders in defeat. “... okay.”

Harri squats down and I wrap my arms around his neck. He reaches under my thighs and lifts me. I hate how easy it is. I should weigh a little more than that, right? Maybe he’s just strong.

“Allright, let’s get back. It’s hot out anyways.”

And off we go. Despite the embarrassment of having to be carried home by my big brother, it was a nice trip. With the sun on my back and the rhythm of Harri’s footsteps I must have dozed off. I remember waking up as we got near the house, in time to see Alton peeking out from his window. I was still half-asleep, but I remember smiling at him. He smiled back and I remember being happy. And then before we reached the back door, I was out like a light.
