That's one party I'm glad to be far away from.

Yet another draw the squad, yet more villain content

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

I think his Pokémon caretakers got him the name "Natural" when he still lived in the forest, honestly, and they did so because it's perfectly natural for Pokémon to call their babies that kind of thing.

But if I am wrong, this just further cements Ghetsis as the worst parent in video game history.

ghetsis really did give his kid the pinnacle “new age white mom hipster name” name… fucking ‘Natural Harmonia Gropius’… he really did that

Never mind. I guess this is now an independent RP blog.

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

You're the one I've been searching for :)

(gen) V-alentine’s day cards for your crush

Hilda ver. of the last valentine:

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

Hilda looked from the computer screen over to her Krokorok teammate, Taylor, holding the new little Axew a few feet away, then back again to the monitor. Have I really resorted to using a search engine to find out how to take care of my Pokémon? Hilda, I thought you were better than this. Good Trainers are supposed to be more responsible and have some background knowledge before taking on a new team member. But, in her defense, the Pokédex didn't give a lot of advice on how to take care of baby Pokémon. Exactly. Which is why this was a rash decision. The Krokorok made a sound like a chuckle and said something unintelligible to the baby Axew, who would be probably hungry soon. Unless dragon Pokémon didn't eat very often. Hilda didn't know much about dragons either. She sure hadn't any idea that they imprinted on their mother figures. Until earlier today, of course.

She swallowed her pride and typed “what do baby axews eat” into the search bar, then changed “eat” to “need to be healthy.” While she searched, she rationalized. Taylor and I were doing the right thing. Who knows what could have happened to the poor thing if we left her there. It's not our fault she hatched when she did, and identified Taylor as her mom. And I bet Taylor will make a better mom than a lot of the Pokemon in that cave. She's perfectly suited for the job. Look how she watches out for me all the time. Look how content the two of them are. But she couldn't be sure. Maybe that Axew could have found her real mother and been fine. It would seem logical that her mother would at least recognize her baby, if not the other way around. A long time ago, Hilda and Bianca had giggled at a Pidove following Bianca's dad around. Then a few days later, Bianca's dad pointed out the same Pidove and it was fine. But how had they all been so sure it was the same Pidove?

Hilda was jerked out of her thoughts by a call behind her. ���Hilda! Long time no see!” She jumped in surprise. She momentarily panicked. She didn't immediately recognize the voice. Did she know anyone dangerous who sounded like that? Of course not. That was a young girl's voice.

Finally, a friendly face. It was Iris! Hilda wasn't the best for names and faces, but that girl's hair and skill as a trainer was unforgettable. She had helped Hilda and the others fight Team Plasma in Castelia. This was someone who could be trusted!

“Iris! Aren't you a sight for sore eyes!” Hilda sighed in relief. “So much has happened...wait, of course! You're more than just a welcome sight. You're just the Trainer I've been needing to see! A Dragon master!” Hilda fetched Taylor and the baby Axew. She explained to Iris how the dragon had become a part of the team in small cave east across the river from Chargestone Cave. “We couldn't just leave her there, and Taylor is about as mom as you can get without being a mom. But we…” she ended sheepishly, “don't have any knowledge on taking care of baby Pokémon. So we really would like your advice.”

dragon fang 👑 hilda & iris

@the-gray-pokemon-trainer

Iris didn’t always have time to travel to other cities in Unova - between handling the Opelucid Gym and training with Drayden, often it was tough to find time for her to explore the rest of the region. So, when Drayden offered to handle the Gym for the entire day, it gave her an opportunity to do whatever she wanted. Absolutely thrilled, she made way for Mistralton City by way of cargo plane (it was pretty tough for the pilot to say no to her, either way). 

She’d only been through the city with Drayden before, back when he’d taken her around and introduced her to some of the other Gyms in the region. Iris remembered Mistralton’s leader, Skyla, and supposed she’d come across her at some point during her visit. Wouldn’t be right to not stop in and say hello, at least! Though, once the dragon-type trainer arrived, it seemed that the Flying-type trainer was preoccupied with a gym challenger - perfectly alright in Iris’ book, though now she supposed she’d have to find something else to do.

The young trainer made her way to the Pokemon center, perhaps hoping to discover something interesting to do around town, or local news of some sort. Although, upon entering the center, she supposed she didn’t exactly have to look very far for something to capture her attention - close to the front counter stood a familiar ponytail. Iris had encountered this trainer once or twice before, of course, and quickly grew curious as to what her business was here.

Waving a friendly hand, she called out, “Hilda! Long time, no see!”

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

Hilda briefly froze with a blank expression on her face after reading the sentence. No. No. Please. Please, brain, please, karma. I don't want to think about that. Not now. She drove back the tears that threatened to come. The memories were just too painful. She couldn't right now. It's over now. You're okay. Those problems are over and you are safe. Safe, Hilda. Everything gonna work out fine. A deep breath. Then a few more. She quickly typed, "You have no idea...friend, I could hardly sympathize with you more," and scrolled away.

Tell my muse something they need to hear.

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

Truth! You got any crushes? Share the deets!

[[As you would expect, smaller letters are quieter/faraway voices and thoughts, italics are thoughts and “italics and quotes” are Pokémon speaking, since only the audience (and N if he’s around) can understand them. Sorry for the text size. I felt it was very important to have some different text sizes like that, and would have used smaller if I could!]]

Mid-story!Hilda is doing something intently on her Xtransceiver. “Oh, goodness - c’mere, April.” She drops what she was doing and scoops up the young Axew. “Tam? Tammy?” she calls out. She seems very flustered. She finally registers the question.“Do I - do I have any - what? Why are you asking me this?” How does that bear any relevance at a time like this? “I’m sorry, I’m - I’m very occupied right now. Um, future me? Could you take this one?”

“Yeah, you’ve got more important things to do,” says Year-Post-Story!Hilda. [[Not that this isn’t a good or valid question, @shorts-over-leggings​! Mid-story!Hilda just has a lot on her plate, and right now isn’t a good time!]] “So, what’s the question? Do I…have any crushes? Oh…“Um, no, I can’t remember having a major crush on someone since I was 11. [[Mid-story!Hilda is 15 ½ - 15 ¾.]] Unless you count a couple fictional characters, and you don’t want to know about that.” I don’t want you to know about that. So embarrassed…Her face lights up as she realizes something, and she smiles shyly, gazing up a bit as if remembering something fondly. “Oh, and there was…” Her face suddenly falters and her gaze quickly reverts back to the questioner. She hastily says, “But that’s not important. I’m a traveling Trainer…I meet and lose a lot of people. And I’ve never been super good at making friends, or keeping good contact with the ones I did make. So I…I lost contact with h– with them very quickly.” She looks down sort of sadly.

Two-years-post!Hilda puts up her hands. “No. No-no-no. I know EXACTLY where you are going with this. I know who you, I-I know what you are referring to. And no. I don’t.” 

Have a crush on him. 

“And also, We are not. Like that.” 

In a relationship at all. He’s still like a big kid. That would be really weird. N is my friend, (and person I teach how to act like a real human, I guess) and nothing else. 

“No.” She calms down and takes a breath. “Okay. Other people. Um. No one new…and I’m sure you’re all wondering about Cheren and Bianca, and no, I’ve never had a crush on either of them. They’re more like…siblings. Well, cousins. It would be weird.“I’ve never been in a relationship, a romantic one, with anybody, actually. And,” she adds, barely loud enough to hear, 

“I’m not sure I want to have one. It’s…simpler that way. Hmm.” 

She puts her hand up to her mouth in her “thinking pose.” 

I’m not sure I could be in a relationship with someone who….doesn’t understand what I’ve been through. Even though it’s not as painful as it used to be. And I bet it would be very hard to make someone understand that. Especially because I don’t want to explain some of it.

Five-years-post!Hilda [[She is now almost 21 years old!]] looks back at the others. [[Don’t question it. Just…um, Dialga and Palkia did it.]] She looks thoughtful, wondering what she should say about how things are going now, and how much. She chuckles.“It’s amazing, isn’t it, how much a person can grow up in three years? Or two, or five. And I don’t just mean me, mind you.” She seems happier, better adjusted, looks…distinctly healthier. She pauses, thinks, then suddenly turns to look ‘off-screen.’“Hey! Don’t come into the frame!” She disappears momentarily and seems to be pushing someone away. 

“Don’t you know how badly that could mess up the space-time continuum? Wait, no! Don’t answer that! Shush! I’ll explain later!” 

She turns around to go back and answer the question. 

“Sheesh! Five years I’ve known you, and sometimes, you’re still just SO oblivious!”

 But there’s a smile in her voice.Meanwhile, a very small Haxorus takes advantage of the distraction to pop into the ‘frame.’ “Hi! Guess what?! My Big Sister Hilda has a b-”“OH, NO YOU DON’T, HONEY!”“Mmmff - teeheeheeheehee!”“Honestly, April, I know you’re five, but I told you how serious this was!” Hilda had just all but leapt back ‘on-screen’ to cover up her Haxorus sister’s big jaw from potentially revealing any key information that a Pokémon could understand. As that would have obviously failed, Taylor had intervened just in time to lend a claw (literally). “I don’t know exactly what you said, but I can guess and I don’t want to risk you altering our whole past 3-5 years!”“Well, if you wanna know what I said,” April points in the direction where the other person was pushed, “why don’t you just ask h– EEEE!! Mommy, s-stop! S-stop! Tickling! MEEEEEE!!”“Guess this means I need to teach TWO silly children (shush!) the concept of the Beautifly effect later!” Hilda gasps as Taylor maneuvers her adoptive daughter away.“Sorry, I think I better skip the question and leave before anything else happens! Stay determined, past me! It gets way better, I promise! And I love you, and so do lots of people (Pokémon), and you’re worthwhile, and doing the right thing!“Hey guys, er, um, I mean,“O Ancient and Noble Dialga and Palkia, please grant my request of closing this hole in space-time to prevent any further damage to times past!”

The connection ends, and everyone except those audience members who managed to piece together what was going on the whole time are left confused, but intrigued.

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

Send my muse anons pretending to be someone they care about. The twist: make these anons as heartbreaking, disappointing, or anger-inducing as possible.

Pretend to give them bad news, pretend to break up with them, pretend to make an upsetting confession - as long as it hurts, it’s fair game.

[team-plasma-ruins-everythin-blog]

Pitted up against Team Plasma, this is a subject that plays into what Hilda does a lot. A major good quality of hers is what a tolerant and open-minded person she is. She is usually willing to give a viewpoint a listen before deciding that it's nuts. And spending so much time around Team Plasma's crazy really allowed her to see the sanity in there.

She's not happy, though, that these things have seemed to make her start to resemble the enemy far more than she would like - like the time that she gave a complete stranger of a Trainer a five-minute lecture on why he should be carrying his Pokémon outside of their Balls, even if that's (mocking voice and air quotes) "a bigger hassle."

Character Development Memes #03: Beliefs & Opinions

My first SELF PORTRAIT!

[[This was supposed to be uploaded to celebrate my return from hiatus, but I dropped the ball on that...somehow.

I made it for a project in my college writing course in an effort to learn this art style, draw a new body type, and much more importantly, learn to draw faster. My feelings on how I succeeded at that are mixed, but I think it's the best thing I've ever drawn and I'm wonderfully proud.]]

Pokémon Trainer Hilda, drawn in the art style of [guess!!!]

I’m kicking myself so hard for not remembering to upload this thing of beauty the day I finished it.

I think this is the best thing I have ever drawn. I am so proud of it. It took me more than 5 hours; after that I lost count!

Guess the art style I used to draw her!

And the first person to show me the exact picture I used to base her pose off of gets a follow!

Embracing One’s Duty

[[Mid-to-late story Hilda]]

This place looked secluded...maybe. We might finally get some privacy here, Hilda thought. Wherever she went these days, sometimes even inside buildings, she had the feeling that she and her team were being watched. And the worst part was, she usually couldn't know if they were really there, or if it was her horrible paranoid imagination.

All seven [[Hilda + team]] had overexerted themselves today. Hilda didn't have the energy to travel all the way to the next Pokémon Center or other (relatively) safe rest stop, and neither did the girls, let alone could one of them carry her. It was so scary to be out between cities without lots of people around now. Who knew what kind of stunts Team Plasma would pull. Yet they needed to slow down.

With a yawn, she pulled out every Pokéball she had and let the remaining members of her team out. “Okay you guys, I don’t think any of us can make it all the way to the Pokémon center, so we’re go...we’re gonna rest here for a while.” So sleepy. Hilda’s brain felt kind of fuzzy with fatigue. “You guys can, um, find a comfy spot or search for food [[aka hunt]], but stay really close, ‘kay? And make all the noise if something happens. If you come back to rest do it really close by me. ‘Cause if we all fall asleep but we’re all together, then ‘if anything happens, somebody’s gonna wake up.’” Hilda quoted one of the things she had learned about Pokémon journey safety from school (Not much good those lessons had done her, but this was one tip she would never discredit). “But, you stay here with me, April.” She scooped the baby Axew up in her arms. Taylor [[Motherly Krokorok who basically adopted April]] opted to stay with them, while the rest scattered.

Hilda sat against the nearest tree. It wasn’t comfortable, but oh, how she wanted to get off her feet. And with a big tree behind, it would be harder for someone to sneak up on her. She cuddled April. Yawn. Too early and uncertain to set up the tent, but pulling out a pillow or a blanket wouldn’t hurt, right? Just as she unzipped her bag, something caught her attention. April wiggled around toward the direction of the noise.

Oh. Just...singing? What a relief. But strange. It was structured, high quality. It sounded like an adult.

She wasn't ready to see what was going on, even if it didn't sound dangerous. Though, the voice did sound very female, and Hilda didn't have any particular enemies who were female. She was comfortable enough now that it inspired her to exercise her own vocal cords, in a different way besides angry yelling or shrieking in fear for once. Maybe she was giving a little reply to this singer. She started singing to April. It wasn't a well known song, but it was one Hilda loved and knew very well. It made a good lullaby; it sounded like something a mother might sing to her child, but it was about more than going to sleep. It was about loving others and growing up to be a good person. It sounded somewhat similar to this.

Taylor was sitting down nearby. Hilda made eye contact with her, and thought the Krokorok was smiling and nodding in approval.

Singing and music almost always improved Hilda's mood.

[[By the way, where are we?]]

aria of the soul | reiko and ??? [open]

She let out a soft sigh, looking around the area she was walking. The area was nice, don’t get her wrong, but something just felt off recently. She didn’t know exactly what it was but she had a pretty good idea of what it could be, and she feared what is was.

It was possible that she was losing her motivation and she was afraid of that. Being an idol meant that she had to keep coming up with new songs, dances and the like but at times it could just be too much. She loved it, but it could be tiring. She couldn’t give it up though, she had worked so hard for this and just…couldn’t stop. It wouldn’t feel right. It would feel like everything was for naught.

She found a secluded area and sat down. There was a new song she had been working on that she had wanted to try out, so she took a deep breath and began to sing.

Can you hear my heartbeat

Tired of feeling never enough

She let herself be lost in the lyrics, hearing the melody in her head. It was about never giving up and not stopping to achieve your dreams. Simple but effective. She was so lost in singing that she didn’t notice that she was gathering the attention of someone…
