I know I can't have been the only one who ended up as a pokemon during the weekend. Which was a really unique experience, don't get me wrong. I certainly feel like I've gotten a better understanding of what it is like to be a pokemon, but.

Well.

Has anyone else been dealing with any... unusual urges since then?


[Armin just had a passing urge to beat up a small child for a french fry. Please tell him he is not the only one dealing with this.]

Wingulls wheel and dive in the salty springtime air of Olivine City's harbor, as white as the gleaming sides of the ship moored directly below. The S.S. Aqua isn't an infrequent visitor in the slightest, but this time it's for a very special occasion! Colorful banners stream from the sides, each one proudly declaring the word PROM in glittery font.

The boarding starts around noon on Friday, and the sight of the huge ship alone is enough to get many people and Pokemon swept up in the party atmosphere. The captain is even there when the ramp is rolled out, wanting to welcome each otherworlder onto the boat personally with a hearty handshake and (mentioning he's a renowned 'people reader'), a recommendation on what part of the cruise he thinks they'll like best based solely on a glance. Weirdly enough, guests might find that he's usually right!

Unsurprisingly, it takes a good long while for everyone to get on board and accounted for, which leaves each guest with plenty of time to find their rooms, dump their luggage, let their Pokemon out to stretch their legs a little, and finally head back to the deck to wave goodbye to the harbor as the SS Aqua heads out onto the open water.

IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE BEST TIME OF YEAR!

[everett didn't you just post a thing like two weeks ago? shh this is important]

[Around 8 AM, a livestream gets posted to the network. There's some amount of fumbling as Egon tries to get the camera to stay still. When the PokéGear finally stabilizes, Egon takes a step back, adjusting his glasses and clearing his throat. Ray Stantz can be seen in the background with an excited expression on his face, as well as a Parasect resting on a nearby counter. A small chunk of the mushroom lip looks as if it has been cut off, though the Parasect doesn't seem to mind this.]

Good morning. I'm Dr. Egon Spengler, and I am here with Dr. Raymond Stantz and Amanita the Parasect to understand the affects of the mushrooms growing on a Parasect and/or Paras.

[He picks up a chunk of mushroom from behind the camera and holds it closely to the camera. The cap appears to be pink with dark yellow spots on it, while the gills appear to be a dark brown color.]

Now, as we know, this fungus enters an almost parasitic relationship with a Paras in its early life, and upon evolving, completely overtakes the host and acts as the "brain" of the entire creature. If the mushroom is removed from the Parasect, the creature ceases movement entirely. These mushrooms release poisonous spores, but these spores can be steeps and boiled to remove their toxicity and are used in some traditional medicines.

[He places the mushroom next to Amanita, who barely reacts. She simply continues to stare unblinkingly at the wall.]

Today, we are going to be observing what effects these mushrooms have upon human beings upon being ingested in their base forms. Our hopes is that these fungi may be able to mitigate physical pain. We will be recording this in order to further analyze whatever data we collect after the experiment has concluded. Ray and I will both be ingesting approximately 500 milligrams of fungi each.

[Egon picks up his piece of mushroom, and Ray does likewise. Ray grins, giving Egon a thumbs up.]

You ready, Egie?

Ready.

[They both eat the mushrooms and wait for the effects to settle in. The initial reactions are quite boring, with Egon droning on about fungi reproduction and how mushrooms have been used in medicine in his dimension and Ray playing with Amanita and occasionally interjecting his tidbits and facts into Egon's lecture.

About an hour later, however, things have...definitely changed up a little.]

[Oh look, it's Dandy, and he's making a post where he isn't dying from freezing temperatures this time around! In fact, it looks like he's in a cozy hotel room right now, the elements are no longer a problem. It seems like his collection of monsters has grown too, because those are definitely the familiar flowers of a comfey around his neck. More Pokémon need to double as accessories.]

What's shakin', it's Dandy, and guess who's open for business? As resident first class alien hunter, catching rare beasties just comes naturally to me. ...But normally I make, like...money off of it... So I figured, why the hell not, I'll start offering my services to those of you who wouldn't know how to catch a monster if your life depended on it. For a price.

And just to show you I'm serious, I already got something I'll think you'll like.

Check it.

[Dandy pans the feed over to the other end of the room where two of his Pokémon, a tiny deino and a massive skuntank, stand guard on both sides of an...upside down laundry basket. Or, well, guard is a generous word. It's more like the skuntank is just sitting there, staring into the feed with a great amount of concern and the deino is mischievously chomping at the air in front of whatever's under the basket.

The point is, there IS something in there, and it looks to be one of those new Pokémon crawling about. A Grookey for those who know their monsters, the little green monkey looks just as upset as any other, although with the added bonus of getting chomped at and being under a basket. Thankfully it's not in any REAL danger, even Dandy's smart enough to avoid community service. Ick.]


I already got some kinda monkey...thing, but I know these little bastards are hard to come by. Best offer can have it. As for any future services, just tell me what you want, and I'll go bag that bad boy for ya. Just as long as you pay in advance. Everybody wins, baby~

[And then...there's a pause.]


...Hey, so, speaking of, I kiiiiiiinda need help grabbing my own guy. It's got absolutely nothing to do with my skills, but I'm gonna need one of...hang on a sec... [Dandy starts rummaging behind himself before turning around and whipping out a magazine clipping. He holds it up for the feed, a colorful photo of someone surfing on their mantine while people watch excitedly from the sandy beach. There's a speech bubble scribbled in marker above a woman's head that reads I LOVE DANDY, but he tosses the page so fast you might miss it if you blink.] HA! This...blue...uh, flappy thing. Can't catch the water ones if I don't have one myself, right? And I need this one, for...personal reasons. I don't really, like, look for certain ones for myself, so you KNOW it's for a good cause.

The Dandy wants it cause.

Anyone got a recommendation for good batteries in this damn place?

[ the video feed opens not on jack's face, but on a hotel room desk. he's got several batteries that look like they could fit into a flashlight or other types of utilities sitting on the desk, spread out. the only other things visible are his scarred hands and most of his upper body, wearing a black shirt. the feed cuts off at the shoulder.

his skitty, crybaby, is also in the shot, gently batting at some of the smaller batteries. ]


Every single one of these has died after an hour of use, maybe. Some were dead when I put them in.

Back in my world, batteries actually lasted for a decent amount of time.

[ jack makes a scoffing noise and leans down out of sight of the camera to get something. meanwhile, the skitty on camera stiffens, and then wiggles, running across the screen to chase something, clattering some of the batteries.

... that something being a joltik, bouncing across the screen as crybaby chases it to the other side.

jack can be seen looking up, a flash of a scarred face and white hair. ]


What are you --

[ he reaches up to turn off the gear as he gets up after his skitty. ]

Soooooo.

[The feed starts a little abruptly, focused on an Elgyem cradled in the crook of someone's arm. The Elgyem in question makes hopeful grabby-hands towards the Pokegear, her handlights blinking.]

Got this little girl recently- from a guy called Ford Pines. She's kind of like, the closest I've come to actually trying to take care of a human baby. You know, Ray likes to call all the Pokemon we get our "children", but this one's the first that's really.. humanoid, I guess? Dunno.

But that's not- that's not what I wanna talk about.

parenthood is exhausting when your weird child can break your brain )

Hey, so I guess shortly after the contest I fell into a coma after a week.

:-( I'm sorry if anyone was worried about me, but I'm fine now, honest!

It was pretty weird actually! I was back in my home dimension, and I had no memory of this place! I just kept going about my business busting ghosts.

I thought it was a really intense dream at first, but check this out.


[He switches to video and- dear god what happened to him.

Despite his weird new hair he's positively beaming.]


Isn't this cool?! Not only does this proof that I was actually back in my home dimension for the week, it also shows that I obtain whatever physical changes I get from my home dimension! I wonder if this means that our bodies in this dimension are fakes, and directly change to adapt with our own changes at home.

I'd be tempted to dye it, but it would be a shame to get rid of both my proof the unusual "memory coma" I experienced and my physical manifestation of being dragged into the spirit world!

But what do you guys think? Do you think I should dye it?

[Just gently going to gloss over his "being dragged into the spirit world" thing I guess.]

 [The video doesn't show Boone, instead focused on his Drapion. He's wearing a bright yellow sweater, buttoned up at the back, and is playing with a ball. He throws it in the air and roars happily as it bounces off the wall and hits an unimpressed Toxicroak in the head.]

So, uh. This whole Valentine's Day thing. Where I'm from, we don't really celebrate it. Actually, I never heard of it until now. So I guess I'm just wondering what kind of stuff you guys have done before for a Valentine, and how it went for you. What works, what doesn't, that kinda thing. Know it's kinda up to personal preference, but there's gotta be some things you just shouldn't do on Valentine's Day, right?

[Boone doesn't trust himself not to do some of those things if he isn't warned about them firsthand. His idea of a romantic date would be to go shoot things together and share a bottle of whiskey, after all.]

And I get that it's not a thing in a lot of worlds. Hell, like I said, it's not really a thing in mine anymore. So I'd appreciate being told some things you maybe did just because you cared about someone. Whether it went wrong or right.

[He had a very fussy wife, so he knows some things about being romantic. And inside, really, he's a softie when it comes to people he cares about. But he doesn't want to just do something basic just because it's a holiday. He wants to know how to really make someone's day. And with Lust, that feels hard to do because she seems to have it all already.]

[Pointy stops playing with the ball and comes closer to the camera, and Boone's hand can be seen petting him on the head before the feed cuts.]

[ he's not into showing his face off. once he verifies there's a public network and an audio option, he begins to opt for that. but then he looks at all the videos of people and their pokemon, and decides o a different option.

the video opens on the sandy beaches of cherrygrove. his rockruff, bandit, is in the surf, chasing what looks like a stick. he brings it back to jack, who pets his head and then throws it again. his location will also ping as cherrygrove. ]


The name's Jack.

[ his voice is distinctly older, and very rough. it sounds like he may have damaged his throat at some point in his life. his hand, when he throws the stick or pets bandit, is gloved. ]

I've been looking around this place and it looks like the consensus is that people can't go home on their own. I'm not here to ask how to get home, since it seems like that's been covered pretty well.

I wanna talk to those of you that have gone home, or know people that did. And... for those that don't, how you're dealing with not being able to.

[ he ends the video on that note, throwing the stick again for bandit. ]
