Hi, everyone. My name is Hitoka Yachi— I've been here a little over a month and still adjusting. Well, trying to fit in. And I'd like to get to know everyone better. My starter was a Chikorita and now he's become a pretty big and handsome Bayleef. I read this out loud to him because I'm pretty sure he wanted me to say something flashy about him just with the way he kept staring. Continuing: I started taking an interest in Fairy Types and Grass Types, but at the moment I have others that're just . . . Really cute. I hope that doesn't seem shallow.

I can't say battling was the first thing that came to mind when they said I was a Trainer (to be honest, it kind of terrifies me still), but I may have found my way around that by looking into strategy. I'm not exactly cut out for brawn (no offense to those who enjoy battling for battling! Anyone could probably snap me in fours . . . 😨 even though I'm not the one fighting, it still feels like I am and I might get fried to coal if I'm caught in the crossfire, has anyone died from an Electric Type's shock?). Anyway, if anyone is on the Sevii Islands, I think I'd like to try out my first practice battle(s).

I may be here a while, but if you're elsewhere, I wouldn't mind setting up a meeting sometime when I start traveling again. I really would like to give this an all-around test drive before attempting the Gym Challenges. For Trainers: Do you have a favorite type? A themed team? How was your adjustment period to battling, if you had one?

For Breeders: What kind of Pokemon do you breed? Is there any reason for a specific choice, if you have specifics?

Thank you for your time reading this if you have!

[ and as a bonus: Yachi has taken a picture of three of her pokemon: a bayleef, who takes up most of the camera's space, a dedenne, who hardly takes up any space at all on one of the bayleef's neck seeds, and a mimikyu who desperately tries to make at least the ears of its little costume show up, only succeeding in getting its ghostly claws into the frame to hold up a picture of the three drawn on paper in a fairly cute style, with the words at the bottom written in english: thank you! ]

[Mikasa had been stopping with Armin on the islands for a while now. Playing with his pokemon, training her own when he was busy. But recently she'd noticed something and she wasn't even sure how to ask...

So she grabbed her gear and tried to record it.

It being her glowing Shinx. Now him glowing wasn't normally too concerning. He did that when getting ready to attack or when he was surprised. But now he was doing it while curled up in a ball and he kept doing it. Then after a few seconds of silently focusing on the cat, she spoke up.]

Does anyone have a cat like this? Is something wrong with him?

[Then his glowing brightened and- and... He vanished, leaving a larger cat in his place.]

...Where'd he go?

[He teleport?? Whose cat is this? Where is her boy?????]
