tfw you and your fellow teen ninja both catch pokémon at around the same time, so you compete to train it better than your rival

[maramahan]

So a friend of mine started running a Pokemon ttrpg for a few of us, and I’m having a very good time so far

I caught my first pokémon yesterday — my first Pokémon aside from my starter, that is — and it went something like this:

[slimslamflimflam]

UPDATE ON THE FLANNERY SITUATION!!!! I CAUGHT AN ADAMANT SANDSHREW I HAVE DUBBED AMY ROSE!!!!! I WILL TRAIN HER AND TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE GYM!!!!!!!!

[inor-8]

Regarding Lily's top 20 Pokemon video:

Ok so I've already made a few posts about Lily's God awful video but man do i have a lot to say. So I'm gonna make a bigger post about it.

That being said all her favourites are valid. I have no hate for her favourite Pokemon as everyone is allowed their own opinions. And as I've said every Pokemon is someone's favourite.

I, however, have problem with her jabs at other Pokemon or people who like them.

So....

Number 20: Ampharos

Ok so her reasons for liking Ampharos aren't anything out of the ordinary. It's cute, it's powerful. I honestly love Ampharos too, I used it in Soulsilver and it's pretty strong and available early on.

However, she says she wishes it was as popular as Pikachu. To which I say, keep dreaming Lily. I'm sure it's just a joke though along with that one joke about choosing Chikorita. We all know Totodile is the best.

Number 19: Flygon

And she starts it off by saying that it's the only one that's a valid dragon type. No! No! No! Every other dragon is valid (Yes, Even Alolan Exeggutor)! I support and love Flygon but that doesn't mean it's the only one that's valid!

Then she goes a bit into it's design lores which I appreciate. (Flygon is based on an Antlion but also draws inspiration from dragonflies btw)

Now, my problem with this segment is that she shits on Salamance??? Like, sorry Flygon isn't as popular but how is it Salamance's fault?! Bro just want to fly that's all!

I don't understand this woman's problem. I think she wants her favourite to be everybody else's favourite too. And it isn't as if Flygon is some obscure or forgotten mon, it's actually a pretty beloved Pokemon in the community. People love the whole Trapinch line actually. But I guess she's salty about Flygon not getting a mega. Well a lot of us are but we don't go shitting on other mons and calling them edgy.

Well, I think that would be my thoughts for this segment. Praying for you to get a Mega in Z-A Flygon, you deserve it for being such a good boy.

Number 18: Salazzle

You're never beating the gooner allegations, Lily.

That being said there's nothing worth mentioning in this section. She just says everything she likes about it and mentions she doesn't like how the internet got wierd with it. But who are you kidding, look at her design. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Number 17: Heracross

Nothing to mention here. Valid as hell take, to be honest. I also love female Heracross' heart horn.

Number 16: Cacturne

Ok so the Cacturne section was pretty chill too. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except for her complains about Tim Burton which I have no comments on. I've never watched a Tim Burton movie.

Still I'm surprised how she missed the scarecrow motifs in it's design.

Number 15: Haunter

Ohhh looks like someone is salty about not getting a Gengar!

In this she pretty much complains about how gengar isn't valid and it's design is bad and stuff. We get it Lily nobody wanted to trade with you as a child. We wouldn't want to either. Next!

Number 14: Crawdaunt

Ok so this is where one of my major problems with her start. In this segment she starts shitting on gen 1 designs and saying how GameFreak took gen 1 designs and made them more elegant in gen 3 because they looked edgy.

Like noo? What the hell is your problem with gen 1 designs Lily? Why do you hate them? I think she likes shitting on them because she thinks it makes her sooo different and sooo cool.

A point which she proves by saying how unconventional she is for using Crawdaunt as her physical attacker instead of garchomp or gallade or the fire fighting starters. Ohhh you like using Crawdaunt? Never heard of that one before! You're so cool and different, Lily. Soooo not like other girls!

Number 13: Omastar

What happened, Lily? I thought you hated the edgy gen 1 designs? Yeah, it's okay when you do it but not others? Rules for thee, but not for me, huh?

Number 12: Nidoking

Nothing to note here honestly.

Number 11: Aegislash

And now she's getting salty that it got banned in gen 7 ou blaming it on some pety smogon admin. Like No Lillian not everyone is like you. There are people who take their job of maintaining balance and keeping the game fun seriously. I'm sure you would have done that if you were a smogon admin though.

And then she complains about shinies. Saying how black shinies like Charizard and Mega Gardevoir suck. Well fuck Lily what's your deal with people enjoying shinies.

Also hot take (not really), black shinies are cool as fuck. There's a reason they're so popular and no matter how overrated you think Charizard is, it still has the best shiny among gen 1 starters

Now I think I'll only be covering half in this post because you're only allowed to include ten images apparently.

[nburkhardt]

My beloved baby Pikachu I bring Pokémon ideas~

Eddie as ghost type gym leader whose gym looks like a metal concert and he has his sweetheart strapped to his back at all times

Steve as a water/fighting type gym leader whose gym is half a pool. Everyone is surprised to find this guy in a soft pastel sweater, tight jeans, and the fluffiest hair is the leader. Until he brings put his nail bat as the battle starts.

Everyone thinks they hate each other because they seem polar opposite but no one notices the skull ring on Steve's left hand nor the soft purple sweater Eddie sometimes wears.

They're married your honor!

The Party is a group of newbie trainers that get taken under their wings of course.

🖤❤️🖤❤️🐼

AHHHHH!!! PANDA I LOVE YOU, I already freaked out in dms with you but I’mma say it again: I LOVE YOUR BRAIN, you get ALLLLL the forehead kisses 🥹🥹🥹 I’m sooo gonna ramble away. Maybe not a full fic but my god I’m obsessed. (It’s a full fic, with a surprise pov!)

We’re going to mix up all the gens together (so if you only know some Pokémon, I’ll include pictures at the bottom of the ones I mentioned)

ALSO: if you have any ideas for anyone else’s Pokémon, let me knowwwww.

Onto my rambling fic under the cut 🥰

Here’s the thing, when Dustin decided to take on the gym challenge, he had no idea what he was going to expect.

He didn’t think picking a grass type to start could both hurt and help him between each gym. But Snivy was a little spitfire and like him; dramatic. She didn’t like any of the nicknames he threw out at her. She also didn’t like her pokeball, instead she preferred to sit on his head.

All of his friends were also doing the challenge but he was getting distracted by figuring out more information on each Pokémon instead of just battling. They’re all ahead of him, which, is okay it’s annoying but’s fine.

Especially when he ran into Steve.

Dustin was supposed to take on the fairy gym next but he heard the leader was ruthless. So, he decided to train up a bit. Maybe even evolve Natu and Trapinch. But instead of that, he was grumbling as he carried his very much knocked out, Trapinch to the Pokémon center instead of battling more.

Servine was walking next to him now, too big for staying on top of him when walking. She was also grumbling in her own way, crossed arms and nose in the air.

“We’re trying to get them to evolve, Servine, not knock them out!” He threw out at her getting closer to the center, “can’t believe I let you get your way all the time”

She apparently didn’t like that information and huffed before walking away, which would normally be fine if they weren’t in a new town. So, instead of reaching the Center like he wanted, he turns around to follow her. Returning Trapinch to his ball for now.

“Come ON, Servine I didn’t mean it like that! You’re so good at everything but-” he immediately knocked into somebody and knocked to the floor, “fuck, ow. Dude!”

Looking up he finds a guy, probably in his early twenties with a Mimikyu sitting on his shoulder while a tiny Pumpkaboo floats next to him. Which is a weird combo with the dude’s outfit choice of a soft looking yellow sweater and light wash jeans. “Not my fault you weren’t looking, dude”

Dustin glares up at him before getting up and dusting his legs off, “hey! I’m only looking for my Pokémon, she ran off from me!” Looking around he can’t tell which direction she actually went in, “by any chance you from around here?”

The guy makes a funny assumed face, both ghost pokémon snicker as well- which is so confusing. But he’s not too concerned for that, more so about the fact that his goddamn starter ran off.

“Yeah, you could say I’m from around here. What’s the Pokémon? A tiny Bidoof? Oh or is it a little Oddish?” He laughs and makes a weird hand movement that clearly both ghosts know and move away, “they got a name? That’d be way easier”

Crossing his arms he looks away, “Servine, and no. She didn’t like anything I came up with, so”

The guy’s laugh dies down and he frowns, “what, were the names lame or-” he shakes his head, “you’re upset, sorry, I’m Steve. Let’s find your Pokémon instead of bickering”

“I’m Dustin, and- SERVINE!” His eyes widen as the tiny Pumpkaboo (seriously how is that Pumpkaboo that small?) leads his Servine towards them, “I’m sorry, seriously, you’re the best and that was uncalled for. Are you okay?”

Servine nods and curls into his arms. He doesn’t bother saying anything else to her, cuddles her close and turns to find Steve picking up Mimikyu and whispering to Pumpkaboo, “Thanks. Seriously”

Steve smiles, “no problem, Oz here is pretty good at finding things.” He looks at his watch before wincing, “I gotta run, we’re gonna be late. You at the fairy gym?”

What the- “how do you know?”

Steve gives another funny look before shrugging, “Got an eye for these things, anyway, next gym is ghost. Be wary of him, he’s a little, hm, much. Yeah?”

All he can do is nod and watch as Steve just walks away.

Fairy gyms are brutal, even with Trapinch evolving into Vibrava. His saving grace was Slugma and that was it still rough since it’s fire isn’t that effective against fairy.

Maybe he should’ve gone with more poison types.

But that was two days ago, and now he’s making his way towards the next town and their gym. He is wary. Not only because of what Steve told him but because of running into Lucas.

(Lucas had decided on a water type, Totodile. Which was a little surprising for Lucas but Dustin didn’t question it, the little Totodile was energetic and lovable.)

He was minding his own business trying to figure out whether or not he could, technically, learn how to speak in the Pokémon’s language. When a blue bundle ran towards him, looking around he spots Lucas trying to catch his breath. “Hey! I thought you would’ve been passed this one”

They play catch up and once it’s all been said and done, Lucas shows him where the gym is. It looks fairly normal on the outside but Lucas swears it’s a whole other world inside.

“It’s like a concert, and there’s an actual audience too! Which was overwhelming at first, but once I got my footing it was like they weren’t there” Lucas explains, stopping only once their in front of a normal looking gym, Lucas laughs and shakes his head, “yeah that was my first expression too. I think you’ll enjoy it. Might have a hard time”

He looks away from the building to raise an eyebrow at him, “what does that mean?”

“Dude you picked a grass type as your starter! And you have no dark types!”

Rolling his eyes, “thanks for the encouragement, I’m sure I could handle it. Even with the disadvantages.”

Lucas looked like he didn’t believe him, but it didn’t bother him. Their whole party looked at him funny when he went with a grass type. Hell, Max made fun of him for it.

It didn’t matter, the gym challenge is turning out to be nothing he wanted to do once he’s able. He wanted to be a professor anyway. This was just temporary, even if he gets beat a bunch of times.

Walking inside the gym, he bypasses the annoying tips guy at right next to the door and makes his way to find the actual battle area. Lucas gave him the directions, it was confusing he said.

Sure enough, there’s a goddamn maze and cords everywhere.

After what feels like hours, he makes it to the end and is faced with a stage. Cords and what looks like vines everywhere, sure enough a small audience is there too. It looks all badass and a mix between rock and metal.

As he opens his mouth the lights go away and he has to immediately cover his ears as a loud beat starts. There’s a guitar being played even louder, clearer too. A spot light hits the stage and now he knows who’s playing.

Standing in the middle of the stage is a man. Long frizzy hair, leather jacket over a t-shirt with a band on it, ripped black jeans and black shoes. His guitar really completes the look, red with black lines all over.

The guy plays for a few minutes before stopping and walking closer, “Welcome to my metal concert, you ready for your ass to be handed to you?”

Right as he’s about to open his mouth a little orange and brown blur pops up behind the gym leader, it looks oddly familiar.

The man follows his gaze and groans, shifting his guitar to his back and focusing on the tiny Pokémon next to him, “Ozzy, we talked about this! Either stay in your ball, off the battle field or at home.”

Dustin blinks, moving closer he finds that the tiny Pokémon is a Pumpkaboo. That’s definitely moving and saying something back, which makes the guy shake his head before glancing around.

“Uh-“

“Hold on, I’m trying to find- HONEY LOVE! Come get your child!”

There’s no movement but he hears a snort, then the tiny Pokémon moves away and he sees the gym leader shake his head again, “sorry, that little guy is only a baby. Let’s get this show on the road, shall we?”

The guy’s smile is wild and maybe Lucas was right.

An hour later and Dustin is sitting on the edge of the stage freshly beat and definitely ready to call it quits for the day.

“Did Eds give you a rough time?”

His head snaps up, there’s Steve with Mimikyu on his head and a Vaporeon sitting next to him.

“I just need to do some more training.” He doesn’t want to admit that yes, the gym leader, Eddie, definitely gave him a rough time. It was fun, but Eddie was even more brutal than the fairy gym.

Maybe he just needs to catch a dark type.

Steve nods slightly, making Mimikyu squeak. “Doesn’t hurt to train more, V here” he pats the Vaporeon’s head, causing a pur to happen, “wasn’t the greatest battler, we had to do lots of training. Before you do any of that, want to come have dinner with us? You and your Pokémon can all rest for the night”

Dustin can’t figure out how he didn’t put two and two together. He feels like an idiot right now.

“What do you mean you’re also a gym leader? The final one at that?! Why didn’t you tell me?!”

Steve snorts, putting his hands in his pockets as he leads them to a house, “not my fault you didn’t pay attention when the professor talked about the gym challenge to you.”

Crossing his arms he glares at the ground, “yeah well, Professor Owens forgets shit. How is it you’re the water gym leader yet have a ghost type with you?”

There’s an amused smirk on Steve’s face and what sounds like a giggle come from Mimikyu, “I might specialize with water types, I do have a fond experience with ghost types. And dude, it’s okay to try catching other types. I just so happen to work better with water types. Queen here was a gift, basically, my partner found an egg and gave it to me.”

He nods because Steve’s right, it is nice to use all different types. Though if he did only pick one, grass or bug type is where he’d stick with.

“Alright” Steve smiles and comes to a stop, “we’re here, once we get inside you can let your Pokémon out.” He leads them up to a door and Dustin takes in the mixture of aesthetics.

There’s clearly two different personalities living in this house, whoever Steve’s partner is, definitely enjoys the darker aesthetic compared to Steve. Who gives off a more pastel aesthetic. Not that he fully knows, he’s still going off or how Steve is dressed.

“Hey baby, I brought a guest!”

They both hear a crash and then a curse. A Gengar floats out of the kitchen and snickers as it stops in front of Steve, “What did you do?”

“He’s over the moon for beating up a Nin- woah! Honey love, you brought the kid I just beat?”

Blinking hard because there’s no way, Dustin also rubs his eyes before looking over at the kitchen doorway. His vision clears and yep, there’s the gym leader, Eddie, standing there in a pastel purple sweater and black sweats with his Decidueye leaning behind him.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, seriously?”

Steve outright laughs and pats his shoulder, “dude, you’re face. Oh man, should’ve taken a picture.” He moves closer to Eddie and presses a kiss to his cheek, “He looked so sad after the defeat, I had to.”

Eddie shakes his head, amusement clear on his face, “Honey, you gotta warn people when you bring them over. Even if they look like a kicked Eevee”

He scruffs and looks away from the couple to find the Pumpkaboo, Ozzy apparently, next to him. It makes him groan, “I’m an idiot, you’re the one who found Servine!”

Ozzy nods excitedly before floating down and nudges his bag, confused he opens it and Ozzy dances around him. He’s curious and looks over at the couple, “uh, what?”

“He’s asking you to let your Pokémon out, they’ll enjoy some play time and food.” Eddie answers and looks at the time, “which is done by the way. Come on, let them out and we’ll give you some tips”

Shrugging, he does just that, all his Pokémon looking around curiously before spotting the backdoor where Ozzy and Steve are now in front of. All of them rush over and Steve laughs before opening the door, letting all of his Pokémon outside.

“Don’t worry, we got a fence and there’s food already out there.”

He can only nod and watch as his Pokémon all play together with Steve’s and Eddie’s Pokémon.

Dustin doesn’t know how he ended up here, honestly, he’s sitting inside a home that belongs to two gym leaders. Who are not only two of the strongest ones but also married to each other. Of all the things he was learning, this might’ve been the most surprising.

————

I’m gonna end it there because if I keep going this post will be stupid long (it already is 😅) BUT!! I decided to make this into a series!! It’ll be a fun one that I could write and post whenever I want. Can switch up povs and everything this way. Please don’t ask me why I went with Dustin’s pov this time around, I don’t even know. I just..kept going.

Anyway! If you enjoyed this let me know what you think and if you have any ideas/suggestions you can totally leave me some!!

[mudboy-eliot]

Heya! Eliot reporting from Gateon Port!

Finally caved in to social pressure and made a Rotomblr blog.

My name is Eliot [they/them], I’m a Ground type specialist by choice and a Poison type specialist by accident.

I recently moved to a small ranch house in Orre, just outside of Gateon. My home region is just south of Orre, but I’ve actually been living in Hoenn for the last few years, so it’s taken me a while to get used to the dry hot weather again.

I love walking through nature, taking pictures and sketching what I see, so expect to see some pictures and sketches from my hikes around here. I often just post my Pokémon sightings to poryNaturalist, so make sure to look there if you’re interested in my wildlife photography. Orre seems to be such an interesting region and I’m really looking forward to explore it.

Feel free to send asks! I’d love to interact with other Pokémon enthusiasts.

Pelipper Mail, Musharna Mail and Union Circle are on

Malice, Unmails and Magic Anons are off

Battle Team:

Kipp [Swampert | Male]: My beloved starter. He is very playful and loyal, he looks out for me and I look out for him. He is as adventurous as I am, so we go out into the wilderness together a lot. He believes he is still lap dog sized despite being almost as tall as me when on all fours.

Nettle [Sandslash | Female | Poison Tera]: Found her on 113 while collecting some ash for a flute. She has gotten us out of many sticky situations, both in and outside of battle. She is very athletic and so very proud of her skills. She has quite a couple poison type moves in her arsenal, but we actually didn’t find out she had a poison tera type until our trip to Paldea.

Flan [Clodsire | Female]: Speaking of my trip to Paldea, that’s where I found this lovely gal. She is such a foodie, I always take her to market so we can try some new berries and regional treats.

Grub [Piloswine | Male]: Got him as an egg from a daycare. Grub is so sweet and clingy you could get cavities. He always wants to play, cuddle or just hang out near you and he will bring to you things he things you’ll like (which are mostly cool rocks and sticks).

Ankles [Flygon | Male]: Caught him in 111 as a Trapinch and my ankles suffered the consequences. I thankfully managed to train him to stop biting and now he just gives soft, playful nips. Despite not being an active threat to everyone’s feet anymore, he is still very sassy and will let you know when he’s displeased in the pettiest of way. Let’s say my shoes have mysteriously disappeared more than once, but it’s all in good fun.

Non-Battlers:

Lily [Glameow | Female]: She’s an old lady, used to be really active and adventurous, but now she just loafs around the house. She’s really sweet, a real cuddle bug. Another Pokémon scratched off the cornea of her left eye before she decided to stay with my family, so now she is half blind.

Katy [Nincada | Female]: One of the first Pokémon I caught. Found her just off of Rustboro while I was running some errands. There was a connection at first sight and I knew I had to catch her. She’s such a little mischievous little imp, always hiding in the greenery or beneath the ground, playing pranks on me and my other Pokémon.

Sephie [Phanpy | Female]: This safari zone cutie has won so many contests. She’s just delightful. She has a knack for theatrics and acrobatics so she basically choreographs her routines herself, I’m mostly just here to help her shine.

Worm [Barboach | Male]: Caught him while fishing near Mauville. He doesn’t really do much, kinda just hangs around in the pond or his tank. He is very cuddly, tho.

Suri [Rockruff | Male]: Such a silly little guy. Raised him since he was a hatchling. He is really rambunctious and very prone to zoomies. When he was very young, he would stand on his hind legs and look around, just like a Watchog.

Nook [Venomoth | Male]: He just kinda appeared one day inside my house as a Venonat. He is very chill, just kinda hanging out in the greenery.

Varo [Grafaiai | Female]: Also caught her on my trip to Paldea. As an artist, I consider her a kindred spirit. She’s the perfect museum partner. She really enjoys surrealist paintings and always tries to replicate them in her murals.

Jack [Clobbopus | Male | Ghost Tera | Anhilape genes]: He came in from Clay’s Pokemon Ranch on Sinnoh and is still trying to adjust. He is very timid, so for now he is living in a box he found on my living room.

Doozy [Skitty | Female | Fiorean variant] Newest arrival! Rescue from Alola.

[wormothythejester]

He's just a silly, goofy little dude 🥺

Trapinch, my beloved 🧡

[rotten-games]

If you’re not into Pokémon feel free to ignore this but what Pokémon would the ROTT and COI ROs have? Would they have any type preferences?

This took a while because I was THINKING

Keep in mind I am not really into the really recent games but that being said.

Rott

Ardwen

Only ones that fit his specific brand. Persian but not Meowth (heresy), Glameow but not Purugly. Flareon because of its vibes. Gardevoir, not Gallade. None are trained especially well.

Oh and DEFINITELY Purrloin/Liepard.

Arke

Probably more practical ones, like Pokemon that could help him with his chores or jobs. So Timbur, Mudsdale, mon like that. But also Cubone for reasons :)

So I guess he'd prefer rock/ground or normals types

Calyssa

She basically becomes a horse girl (like she isn't?) Rapidash, Mudsdale (probs her first), Zebstrika. All of which she raised up from little babies. And to round it out she'd have a flying type to get her around.

Type preference: hors

Druvel

He's the type of guy who would have like six of the same Pokemon because aesthetics and/or he loves them. Probably Dreepy or something.

Emil

He'd probably be that one guy who keeps all his Pokemon at their first evolutions. So Pichu, Ralts, Skitty. And/or he'd have every single evee evolution to be fancy.

Ettia

I was gonna make this joke with Lokeira but then I realised Ettia would genuinely have a Sylveon so... Trans Pokemon for trans trainer.

But in general... A lot of water Pokemon like Lapras, Mantine, Milotic, etc.

Gwyn

Just funky guys. A Quilfish for sure (he named it Ettia), Togepi, Mawile (my beloved), Xatu, Spoink, and a Wynaut. Probably skews more fairy or Psychic.

Herron

He'd be a grass/poison trainer. Because uhhhh applications to medicine or something I guess.

So Breloom, Caractus, Oddish, Applin, Reserade, and Dustox

Keller

She'd probably have a bunch of Unknown because IF Pokemon existed in rott they'd probably show up in the Waylands. Also probably a Numel/Camerupt, a Trapinch, a Hippowdon and a Sandile.

She WOULD NOT catch dragon types for religious reasons but she would be friends with them :)

Korrin

They'd have like five Seviper, Serperior and Arbok and then a random mimikyu just hanging out or something.

Def friends with Jirachi or something tho.

Lokeira

Toxicroak, Sneasel, Gallade, Absol, etc. Kind of an edgy boy.

Necrolym

He'd have one Pokemon and that Pokemon would be a Slowbro

Nox

Something silly like that literal sword Pokemon. OH or that weird one, uh Escavalier or something.

Qora

Shinx :)

Oh wait there's a lion Pokemon now.. uhhh Litleo. :) Both. She has two kitty friends now.

Spotter

They'd probably get attached to a silly lil guy like Scraggy, Sobble, Helioptile, or Poplio, and never need another Pokemon again. They love their little friends.

OR Bewear :) for protection

Severa

I like the idea that all her Pokemon are just guys. Just dudes. Just basically regular men. So the Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee duo, those two from black/white, etc

CoI

Carol

She'd have like a lazy meowth that just hangs out at the bar and mooches for food.

Lowrie

Probably wouldn't be a trainer. They don't really trust themselves with animals.

Harley

For the joke they'd have a Jigglypuff and a Spinda and call them "The Regulars"

Doc

Maractus and/or Deerling

Mordred

He'd have a Zangoose, Blaziken, Arcanine. Kinda 'cool' Pokemon that your average ten year old would love.

Allard

Sableye and a Bannett but only those two for reasons. The three look suspicious everywhere they go :)

Ridley

They'd have an Ursaring

Arthur

Perci

Noctowl and a Smeargle. For crime reasons.

Deimos

Houndoom, Mightyenna, Umbreon, and... Yamper. Maybe he just likes dogs actually.

I am, in fact, weak to Pokemon AUs Here, have my boy Raiden and his beloved Pokemon Some fun facts:

He's a mechanic who works on trains and subways, doing maintenance and repairs

He currently lives in a made-up region called D'Thetas, based in Italy/Greece!

He was born in Galar but left to try to get away from his past

The past in question? In his youth, he got involved with the wrong crowd and became a Pokemon poacher. He is deeply ashamed of this part of his history.

The poaching group in question specialized in capturing wild Eevee since they are so popular on the market. As a result, he can barely look at an Eevee or their evolutions, because it reminds him too much of that time.

He lost his leg in a freak accident with a train while at work

Likes to tinker and invent things on the side!

Some details about his Pokemon buddies:

Gadget is a very energetic and intelligent little guy who has been Raiden's longest companion. He's been with Raiden through the ups and downs and helps him in any way he can. Raiden sometimes uses the Yamper's electric abilities in the contraptions he makes. During work, the Yamper will bring him the tools he needs and recharge the batteries on said tools.

Clover is a relatively recent addition, as Raiden found the Trapinch chewing on the railway tracks at his most recent job. There were many attempts to chase the Trapinch off, which only resulted in her returning later. So, as a more permanent solution, Raiden caught the little Pokemon. He would train lightly with her, teaching her not to chew on things she shouldn't. Now, the two are close, and the Trapinch helps Raiden unscrew particularly tight bolts or stuck bits with her powerful jaws.

Tungsten was inherited from a close family member upon their death, and Raiden has also been taking care of them for a long time. Tungsten is more calm and level-headed than the other two and is a quiet, constant presence. Raiden has made one or two contraptions powered by the spinning gears on this Pokemon. The quiet ticking of the Pokemon in a calming presence to their trainer and helps Raiden calm down.

I wanna hear about the pokemon ttrpg 👀

WELL SINCE YOU ASKED—!

Ok. so. You know how in the pokémon games there’s always those Team-Badguy grunts who challenge you to a battle then run away afterward? That’s my character:

Renn is literally an ex villain-squad punk who’s finally been released from house arrest in Starting Town & is taking the opportunity to go on a “normal pokémon journey” don’t mind the baseball bat officer I SWEAR it’s for self-defense :)

Other cast members include

Kestrel, a mysterious and kindly young doctor with an eyepatch and a knack for finding evolution stones

Vincent, a weirdo from the woods with an uncanny connection to pokémon and a mission to speak with the gods

Jiro, a gifted chef with a knack for battle on a mission to someday open his own restaurant

Emilia, a cheerful photographer who is god’s gift to the enemy not always completely prepared for the impact of her pokémon’s AoE moves

Douglass, an incredibly sheltered pokémon councilor who just wants to show his beloved Psyduck to the world and is also coincidentally Renn’s cousin

And the way my friend is running it — instead of standardized region starters, it was a potluck. Everyone chose one 3-stage pokémon that the other players might pick.

There was a Trapinch on offer. She was small, orange, and sweet— so Renn named her Clementine.

We are now best friends. I love her big ol’ head. She’s a long way from evolving, but I love her just the way she is.

Anyway, we left town as a group, me and the other trainers. It’s been pretty chaotic since then. I’ve been showing my cousin the ropes of living in the Pokémon World, Kestrel’s been paying me good money to stop extorting politely asking strangers for pocket change, Jiro’s on his way up in the world, and the Wiz Kid Vincey met god the other day.

AND. and. We’re slowly but surely on our way to BigCity — my old hometown, where Team Badguy runs the streets and Big Tech Corp runs everything else — and.

And. I’m on the trail. They took my beloved Zubat when I got arrested — but my little Echo is still out there. I got a lead that my little buddy might be in BigCity, and. I swear. I’ll burn the world if that’s what it takes to get her back.

I can’t wait to play again!!
