XERNEAS, YVELTAL AND ZYGARDE FROM GENERATION 6

Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are based around Yggdrasil of Norse mythology. Xerneas is Eikþyrnir who lives under the life tree, Yveltal is Hraesvelgr who represents death, and Zygarde is the underground Nidhogg. Xerneas shares its life, Yveltal takes the lives of others to replenish its own, and Zygarde works to maintain the natural balance of the life-death cycle.

 RESHIRAM, ZEKROM, AND KYUREM FROM GENERATION 5 

Reshiram and Zekrom represent Truth vs Ideals, and the Tao philosophy of Yin/Yang. While Kyurem is the grey area in morality, a hollow shell left behind by the singular Dragon these three once used to be before humans tried using it for what they perceived to be “right”, when in reality it was just differing perspectives. 

 PALKIA, DIALGA, GIRATINA, AND ARCEUS FROM GENERATION 4 

Dialga and Palkia are the Shinto legend inspired, godlike entities responsible for guarding and creating space and time. They come from a more scientific approach to how the universe works/was created, whereas Arceus and Giratina are more spiritual as they are designed with inspirations from various versions of “God” and “Satan” in dozens of different religions around the world.  

GROUDON, KYOGRE, AND RAYQUAZA FROM GENERATION 3 

Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are modelled after the biblical beasts; The Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz. Groudon created the land, Kyogre rules the seas, and Rayquaza guards the skies. Groudon and Kyogre helped shape the world (Alpha) and often nearly end the world in conflict with each other (Omega). Rayquaza acts as a neutralizing force to aid the world and its people. 

 HO-OH AND LUGIA FROM GENERATION 2 

Ho-Oh has clear inspirations from various fire-birds in different legends from various cultures like the Phoenix, Fenghuang, and the Huma Bird, as it is associated with the power to revive itself and others from ashes, bring eternal happiness, and rainbow iconography. Lugia could be considered similar to the sea-dwelling dragon, Ryujin of Shinto myth, and he has subtle elements that seem similar to a beluga whale. 

 MOLTRES, ARTICUNO, AND ZAPDOS FROM GENERATION 1 

Hot bird, cold bird, and zappy bird.

First (auto) accident

Yesterday morning, I got rear-ended. I was on my way to work, and this bitch moron was stopped behind me at a traffic light. The light turned green, but the car in front of me hadn’t started moving yet. The person behind me decided to slam on his gas pedal, ramming into me.

“I’m in a hurry,” he said, as I got out of the car. Not, “Are you okay?” but, “I’m on my way to orientation.” Prick.

After exchanging information, we went our separate ways. He texted me a few minutes later, asking if we can deal with the situation without involving insurance. Fat chance, fathead.

As the adrenaline wore off, I started feeling pain on the left side of my upper body. It wasn’t that bad, so I continued my work at lab. The boyfriend’s sister was texting me about a trip to Cancun, and she was asking me if I had my passport in LA. Busy with work, I asked her to remind me later when I got home, telling her I’m a little distracted because I got rear ended this morning.

Then, the explosion.

I checked my phone to find a barrage of text messages from the boyfriend’s sister, telling me to immediately go to Irvine after work to see a doctor. She had researched the possible trains I could have taken to get there and even listed the ticket prices and parking fees at the train station for me. “I forwarded your contact info to my mom. Maybe she can pick you up from the train station.” I insisted that I was fine and headed out to lunch with my coworkers.

Suddenly, I receive a call from the boyfriend, who was also in Irvine. “Hey, I’m coming to pick you up at work. I’ll be there in about an hour.” Of course, he didn’t listen to my protests, and I was swept away to Irvine after lunch and immediately taken to the doctor.

It was a painful acupressure session that almost brought me to tears. “No pain, no gain,” the doctor laughed. The verdict? My back was already messed up to begin with due to past accidents and less-than-ideal posture, and the accident made it worse. Great.

We headed back to my boyfriend’s parents’ house, and my boyfriend drew me a bath, water jets and all, bless him. I then spent the rest of the afternoon lying on his bed, browsing the internet. As my boyfriend prepared to leave for his rehearsal, his father came home. Surprised to see me sitting on his living room floor in his son’s clothes, he asked why I was there. His wife told him I had been in a car accident and that they had taken me to see the doctor. “I will take you to see Dr. Kang,” he said. Even though I kept telling him I had already seen the doctor, he insisted that seeing another one would be better, and off we went.

During the appointment, he stood in the doorway almost the entire time, watching and making sure I was okay. The boyfriend’s sister stayed in the room with me to give me moral support. After my appointment, she saw the doctor for a few minutes, while I went to the lobby to hang out with her parents. Her mother gave me the phone number of yet another doctor, this time in the area where I live, and told me to set up an appointment with him this week. I immediately did what I was told, because at this point, I had learned that arguing with this family would be useless.

After the sister was done, we went out to dinner with her parents, before heading back to their place to watch TV while we waited for my boyfriend to finish rehearsal. In the end, they decided to take me back to LA themselves, because they didn’t want me to wait too long for my boyfriend to get out. When we got to my lab, the sister took my keys and said she was driving me back to my apartment, so I wouldn’t have to drive until the next morning. Her parents followed us to my place, and all three of them waited until I was ready to head upstairs before they drove off.

Following his request, I texted the dad before I went to sleep. “Sweet dreams, princess,” he replied. (He’s my fave.)

Today, the sister, the boyfriend, and the dad all texted me asking how I’m feeling. Real talk, these people are amazing. I am so, so grateful to have this family in my life, especially when I’m so far away from home.

#I want to go home to my mom #I'm in so much pain that I feel like throwing up #Acupressure hurts like a bitch #Of all the things that idiot learns at orientation #I hope HOW TO DRIVE is one of them #Too bad I will be at lab 5ever because I didn't do any work yesterday and now I have to do it all today #Also period cramps are adding to my pain #eternal sobbing #Drive safe everyone
