Uh....

[Korra is grinning like she's trying to hold in laughter. She's on the beach by her little house, but not much of the background is visible behind her.]

I think my Pikachu have started a really cute, really weird gang.

[She moves the gear to show the beach behind her. There are her two (still exceptionally chubby) Pikachu. And her Snubull. And her Alolan Meowth. They're all wearing at least one, completely random, article of clothing. The Snubull has a neon green and yellow baseball cap. One of the Pikachu is wearing a pair of blue seashell patterned swimtrunks...only she has her front arms through the leg holes like it was a jacket. The other has draped a pink beach coverup around him like a cloak. The Meowth has a pineapple themed tie and a pair of children's bright red rain boots on.

They're grouped together under a handmade sign reading 'DANGER - UNNATTENDED FOOD WILL BE STOLEN BY POKEMON'. They have the air of a group of teenagers loitering in front of a gas station.]


Beware of the beach menaces if you're around the islands. You might get hassled for popsicles by a pack of furry fashion disasters!

I think their notoriety has gone to their heads....

[The camera isn't pointing at anything in particular yet, but there is the sound of a squeaky toy being squeezed repeatedly in the background. A larger, louder one, considering how audible it is, and how long each squeak is. Squeak... squeak...]

So, I got some new toys for the Pokemon the other day.

[He starts turning the camera, eventually coming on the source of the squeaking: a ground-type Silphally [sic] who has what appears to be a rubber potion bottle, and seems to be highly enjoying himself squeaking said toy with his paw. Squeak... squeak...]

Shira's pretty much claimed that toy, there, and...

[One more squeak later, and the Silphally throws his head back and howls. A loud howl, sustained and joyful. It lasts for like ten seconds, possibly even longer. How does this pupper have the lungs for this, Ryner doesn't know.

And then, once the howl ends, Shira goes back to squeaking the toy with his paw. Squeak... squeak...]


Ahh, I think he likes it? And I'm glad he's actually paying attention to a toy for once, but...

[He's just never seen any of his mons play like this before. And he's been here a while.

(Squeak... squeak...)]

Remembering that he'd said that he would film his gym battle against Bugsy, Keldor fiddles with his pokegear to make sure that it'll catch everything while being out of harm's way once the action starts.

"Oh, are we live?" Bugsy asks with a grin once he sees the pokegear. This will not be the only time he's been filmed about to battle a trainer for his badge, and is acting accordingly. "Well then. I'll make sure to give the audience something they'll all enjoy."

Keldor doesn't say anything; he just has his "battle face" on [it might be better described as "eager soldier face"].

"Right. Well, go Pinsir!"

A familiar popping sound, and the grabby grub jumps out, ready to go.

"Fushimi! Go!"

Out pops Keldor's new Fuecoco, looking determined to do her best.

"Ah. I see you've done your homework, too! Very good!"

And so, with that, the battle begins.



Keldor will be available to chat [video/voice/text] once the battle's over and he's been given the Hive Badge.

[Dimitri opens the video looking... sort of befuddled. Which is not a rare expression on his face, considering how out of his depth this poor man is sometimes, and how there's just the Wii Shop Theme playing permanently in some section of his skull, but, still.]

I... must admit I am surprised. With the trend that so many others have experienced, and with my own experience in the past two, I was expecting a disaster. I suppose many of us were.

And yet, it appears to be coming to an end with all's well.

[ . . . ]

Would anyone like to fight? I have wooden weapons. You are permitted to use teeth.

What’s this? There’s glitter in the air. What’s this? There’s dresses everywhere.

Oh right. It’s Prom time.



From the afternoon on, on Friday the 7th of April, your characters will all be arriving at Tohjo Falls via the transport arranged for by Lance. He did end up borrowing a few of those Corviknights from the JKBA, but there are also several of you who will find themselves flown to the Falls by one of Lance’s Dragonites or Charizards. Please give them a poffin if you are able, they are all very good boys and girls.


Your characters will be set down on a tiled driveway (more like flyway, Ha) in front of an impressive-looking villa. Those who have been here before might note that the villa has gotten a bit of a renovation and an update. Turns out that when Team Rocket kidnaps you and keeps you captive in your own home for several weeks while wrecking the house and digging Arceus knows how many basements beneath the house, you might be entitled to some compensation.

And from the looks of things, Lance and co used that compensation to turn their little vacation home back into something where they can relax in peace.

After you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Lance or one of the other Elite Four members, who will give you a quick run-down. You are free to explore the house and surrounding area at your leisure. Please respect their privacy and do not go into any of the locked rooms. You’ll find your accommodations behind the house, so feel free to head there and unpack. Oh, and, there will be a little announcement later, so if you could be in the dining room for that, that’d be stellar.

Well, off you go!




WELCOME (BACK) TO THE FALLS

Oh look, it's another... very off-center and somewhat awkwardly angled image. As is typical of pretty much any time Geddoe attempts to use his 'gear.

Actually, wait, on second thought, there appears to be a reason for that: the feed isn't centered on Geddoe's face because instead it's focused on his shoulder, where a now palm-sized Heliolisk and Raichu are both perched. And looking kind of pleased about it, to be quite honest.

"Something weird going on for anyone else?"

Please tell him it's not just him.

Can you suggest any quests or activities worthy of a milestone birthday? I considered investigating those Bisharp evolution stories, but Ramza is still hesitant and I'd rather not rush him.


[Cecil's face is offscreen today, but his hands are visible and busy carefully applying nail polish to his Persian's claws. A lovely, sparkling shade of red, matching that forehead jewel. Someone's getting spoiled.

Honestly, it's a miracle he can be heard at all, with all the purring going on.]


Then again, as we lose the years we gained here once we return home, milestones stop being once-in-a-lifetime events. Perhaps that means a special celebration is unnecessary after all. Unless the miracle of being able to celebrate the same event twice makes every birthday-


[A paw bats at his face. No distraction allowed when there's a task at hand!]


Never mind. I'll leave that question to the philosophers among us.

It's been going on for at least a fortnight now.

Just about every time Keldor's gone out, no matter what for, there'll be a Slowpoke either waiting for him to get there or for him to return to his hotel room.

Now, this is Azalea Town and thus Slowpoke Central™, and therefore you really can't go very far without running into one of these pink lumps with their generous five watts of brain power, and you really can't prove it, but...

Keldor switches on the camera of his pokegear and aims it at the one staring blankly up at him outside the door to the hotel he's staying at; expression that of someone especially dumb.

...he's pretty sure the one he keeps running into is the exact same one.

"..................sssssssssssssssssssssssslllooooooooooooooooooooow.............?"

He sighs, but gives it a pat on its head anyways.

"You do not need to follow me about this locale. It is not necessary."

"..............................pooooooooooooooooooooooooooookeee....................?"

Once he's inside, though, Keldor stops, then wonders aloud one thing:

"Should I capture it? It does seem to desire making me its trainer."

This evening's pokégear hijacking comes compliments of a certain Heliolisk, who spends a moment or so studying the camera while holding it too close to his face before setting it down and taking a few steps back so that it can get a proper shot of him. Yes, that's right, it looks like a certain electric lizard finally decided to evolve.

It doesn't end there, however! Zipper proceeds once again grab the 'gear, now turning it to give a good view of the rest of the small room before stopping on Bolt the Raichu. Who takes a moment to squeak something irritable at Zipper before bounding over to the snoozing Venusaur on the floor at the foot of the bed and rummaging around under those giant leaves for something. Which turns out to be an egg, which Bolt hops up to place on, the bed, right smack in the middle. This process is repeated twice more, then the Raichu scurries off to the side where she can get a good view of the door, Zipper following with the camera.

Fortunately, either due to planning or just sheer dumb luck, the electric duo has apparently managed to time their antics such that barely have they settled in than their trainer walks in the door, carrying some kind of takeout.

Geddoe stops the moment he sees that something's out of place, blinking once.

"... What."

And then promptly fixes the not at all hidden pair of troublemakers with his trademark deadpan stare. The feed ends amidst the sounds of a Heliolisk positively giggling.


((Two of the eggs are up for grabs! They're bulbasaurs that know mud-slap, though Geddoe doesn't know this.))

[Welcome to sand.

Or at least, that is the sight that's gonna greet people on the network today. There's just a recording starting with a shot of a beach with a strip of ocean in the background. There is a little depression in the sand, like a burrow.]


Oh, I needed to show this to everyone. This is incredible.

[That's Armin's voice. It's buzzing with excitement, and judging by the perspective of the camera, he's probably also laying on the beach.

For a long moment, nothing happens until suddenly, a small white head appears out of the hole! It rises and rises up, until there is a wriggly, elongated Diglett-esque pokemon peeking out of the hole and at the camera.]


There she is!

She hatched a few days ago from one of those mysterious eggs we received for Christmas. It's always interesting to meet new types of pokemon, but there is something very incredible about this pokemon.

She looks like a Diglett, right? Almost as if she is some variant of it, like Galarian and Kantonian Meowth. But she is actually completely unrelated to Diglett. They don't share a common evolutionary history. In fact, her similar appearance is actually the result of something called convergent evolution. That's when certain traits or even entire body-plans are so beneficial that they will be selected for in completely unrelated species of animal -- or in this case, Pokemon.

Flight is also an example of convergent evolution. The way bird pokemon and bug pokemon and even the various species of bat pokemon fly is completely distinct from one another. They didn't inherit their ability to fly from a common ancestor. Instead, the ability to fly is so beneficial, that they all separately developed it. It's why they also all have slightly different approaches to it. Nature is truly incredible.

[Did you want a nerd lecture on evolution today? Too bad, Armin is giving one anyway cause he's just so excited by all of this.]

Her species is called Wiglett. I imagine they were named before researchers found out it has no relationship to the Diglett species. Wiglett are a type of water pokemon. They live their life burrowed in the sand, coming up like this to catch food. They have an incredible sense of smell and--

[The camera jostles a little then suddenly, a bite of food soars through the air (presumably thrown by Armin). The Wiglett takes immediately notices and snaps up to catch it, rising up much, much higher from her burrow, showing off her long and wriggly body.]

They are incredibly long!

[He is so excited. The Wriggles!!!]


I know most of you must have hatched their new pokemon by now. Has anyone else received something incredible too? And any other new Water Pokemon I should know about? I'm happy to hear about other kinds of pokemon too, of course, but as a Water gym leader, I have a professional interest to maintain.

Who: Everyone
Where: Goldenrod Christmas Market
When: December 1st - December 31st
Summary: Ah, Christmas time! A time of joy, family and... commerce?


Like every year, the Goldenrod Christmas Market is opened on December 1st by a Santa (not the Santa, but certainly a Santa) with a merry Ho-Ho-Ho and a jolly tinkle of sleigh bells. And like every year, the stalls are stacked to the brim, overflowing with everything you might wish to buy this Christmas season. Every few stalls, the items make way for hot food and drink -- waffles, hot chocolate, cider, you name it and you can most certainly find it.

Just like last year, you too can open a stall at the Christmas Market. If you've got a special talent for creating things, why not drop by Goldenrod, and see if you can sell your creations for a bit of extra money. Stalls can be rented by the day, the week, or even for the whole month, so even if you've only got a small stash of items (or pokemon eggs or food or whatever) to sell, why not come by and try and make a buck.

What happened earlier... )

Currently Keldor's sitting in one of the local Tim Hoothooton's, enjoying what passes for coffee in these parts. It's not great [really it's better as a handwarmer and a source of caffeine than it is a drink], but he does rather enjoy the small, sweet round bits of baked goods he got to go along with the coffee [he'll get more of them before he goes].

As he does this, he types out his message.

I shall make this as brief as possible. The season of cold is about to start, and with all the equipment I need to carry it would be difficult to have to carry it all myself. Would it be better to have one's pokemon carry some of it, or would obtaining a vehicle be more ideal?

Pause. He had been drafting up a design for a small vehicle like a cart that could have both wheels and skids so it could be used year round, but maybe someone has a better idea.

What have you used in the past, those of you who have resided here longer?

Okay, so explain to me why we can own bicycles, but actual motorcycles are not even for sale? I'm literally confused about this.

[ it's killing him!! he wants a bike but he can't have it?! heresy. ]

I just want a motorcycle again. I miss riding them. So badly. If anyone knows where to buy one, please.

[ well after a certain someone decided to propose out of nowhere and sandalphon has had time to fully process the information... he decides asking the network would be a good idea. ]

I'll be blunt: how do weddings work? Is there specifics I need to adhere to? Any customs? Any and all thoughts appreciated.

[ then it dawns on him, and he adds on: ]

Yes, I'm aware this post makes me out as non-human. Wedding culture is non-existent in my kind, and most sites online are asking me to hire people. I'd rather do this myself.

You arrive before the sun sets over the shining sea, a little before 5 o’clock. A fleet of Corviknight taxis descend near the entrance of the castle, slowly setting their passengers on the ground and allowing them to depart. The golden rays of sunshine illuminate the edges of the castle, casting long shadows and making it take on a rather ominous appearance. Better hop to it–you wouldn’t want to miss the Halloween party, now would you?



WELCOME TO THE HALLOWEEN FRIGHTFEST! )

Early Saturday morning, the doors of one of the largest --if not the largest-- convention centres in Viridian City open to welcome everybody to this years Battle Convention.

Spread out across several floors, and the battling fields outside, the Battle Convention is the place to be for anyone with an interest in pokemon battling. Whether you are a hardcore battler trying to hone your craft even further, or a newcomer to the battling scene hoping to learn, the Battle Convention has things of interest to everybody. It's promising to be a busy event, with trainers attending from all over Johto and Kanto. Famous battlers and gym leaders alike can be spotted in the crowds, hosting workshops or even entering in the tournaments.

[The feed opens to Mirabel in a room she’s staying at, with her midnight Lycanroc sleeping behind her.]

Sooo… I have a tiny problem.

Ladrillo here- [she motions to the Lycanroc] -won’t stop stealing stuff. I thought it was just because he was hungry, but he’s been snatching up other things too. And I’m not sure how to get him to stop. I yelled at him a few days ago and I still feel bad but I don’t know what to do!

[She sighs.]

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

[A tournament is happening. So you would think that Dimitri would be spending a non-inconsiderable amount of time going over his strategy with his team, and agonizing over what moves to use, and when, and all of that.]

[Instead, he is showing up on the network.... camera just a little too close to his face as he starts up the video, but, listen, his thumb isn't on the lens this time, it's fine. He pulls away when he realizes the recording light is on.]


So, some of you may have had the opportunity to meet my Hisuian Zoroark, Mononoke. [He... is pretty sure he's said that right, Mononoke has bitten him when he hasn't.] As is apparently common in his type, he has been known to play... tricks, on occasion.

...And walk around in an illusion using something similar to my own appearance.

[Dimitri, could you sound a little more concerned about that...]

His mischievous ways, along with his rather proud nature, have made him occasionally difficult to keep a handle on, especially when I am not personally there to watch over him. Hafren, my Alolan Marowak, has had an effect on him, but only to some degree...

But it seems as though I have managed to find a way to calm him down!

[And with that, the camera fumbles a bit as Dimitri turns it around.... and steadies it on the sight of his Zoroark in question.]

[To be exact, his Zoroark seated on the grass outside somewhere while a large Hisuian Typhlosion just... patiently licks at his mane. In front of him, what must be Hafren the Marowak is doing a little dance, her bone club burning with that strange green fire.]

[Mononoke seems completely zoned out. Like a cat that's just... had so much nip. The normally thin pupils are just blown right out.]

[Dimitri, at least, sounds cheerful.]


This is the most calm he's ever been!
