Mini explanation of how I chose his team:

“You’re still here because you were meant for something better.”

Right part’s poorly drawn/weirdly overlapping, so it’s cropped out.

Olive: peace 🫒 Purple Hyacinth: sorrow and forgiveness🪻

what if they had matching charizard hoodies. charizard trio real.

[Leon: 'ello Pikachu!]

[Ash: Pikachu says you have depression] [Alain: I know.]

the lost city alan and jack trainer

been watching channing tatums movies, and theres now a trend of his character acting in love with a side character man like 10+ years his senior 💁💕 so i will now be drawing channing ships

[tsmeweek]

Well, well, well! It turns out that the winner of the favorite character poll is none other than the spoiled sinnamon roll, aka our beloved Hoenn Champion

Like the pampered young master he is, he somehow managed to win against the main characters of the show, with 31.5% of the votes. What can he say? He is just the strongest there is, right now!

Don’t forget you can check out the prompts for TSME Week and participate in the event to celebrate its 10th anniversary

[ourrfaith]

we are different

I was upset with Alan's defeat during The Masters 8 Tournament because his character didn't shine as much as he could have even without winning. The writing was strange, I can't think that this Alan was the same Alan from post-Pokémon xyz and I'm not afraid to say that he could shine on the field without winning, as he has done a few times, and this makes it seem as if the writers weren't very committed to writing Alan from Pokémon Ultimate Journeys even though he was wonderful while he lost independently

But you keep crying because of Ash's defeat in Kalos because he lost, and for people who call themselves his fans, you don't talk much about how badass the whole match against Alain was. Not ironically Ash almost won, if he changed his strategy even slightly maybe he would have won. I hardly see these people who love to complain A LOT that the Kalos league was stolen and that Ash should have crushed Alan talking about how good the fight was, how well Ash fought in Kalos, and I repeat, almost won. The fight was well done, well designed, well performed, fun for those who watched and for the characters and even after that you can only talk about Ash losing as if it were something rare or impossible.

/hj but seriously fans of Ash from xyz, if you stopped crying and bothering JUST BECAUSE Ash lost and focused on how Ash also shine in Kalos, the ending of Kalos would be less boring for you.

At some point at the very end of the anime before the league ends the 'crown' of focus for development was passed on to Alain, Alain was the one who needed to understand that being the strongest isn't everything, something that Ash had already understood an arc ago, and that the search for strength technically blinded him to the true dangers of the team flare plan, and that's what he understands at the end of Pokémon Xyz. And honestly love this break, when it seems like everything is going to be fine for Alain, that happens.

What I want to say is that the dramatic and emotional charge of Alan winning It's bigger and makes more sense than if Ash won, at least that's how I interpret it.

I missed most of TSME week, as I'm busy and can't stick to these schedules, but I absolutely couldn't pass up the chance to draw one of my most enduring and very canon* otps for TSME Day 6: Love. Please accept this very quick drawing!

(*At least one-sidedly in the original, in as much as protagonist ships can be canon in Pokemon, aha--Manon bluntly tells Alan he's her type during their first meeting, even awful Fleurdelys even calls her Alan's "unusually tiny girlfriend," as well as implying she's the "seed of doubt" planted into Alan threatening his plans... and albeit in a platonic way, dub Alain calls Mairin, Chespie, and Professor Sycamore the ones he loves ^^)

They're adorable, funny, heartbreaking, endearing, and I think they'd be super cute as a couple when they're older. ^^

(Mind the rules for the event, respect other folks' ships, the block button's free, etc.)

[midnightsnackblog]

Alan is a tired dad who is trying to keep his kids from getting themselves into trouble, although that doesn't always work. It's a good thing he has his Machamp to help him.
