There's More to You pt.5

The resemblance was uncanny, and Rai couldn't look away from this scholarly looking mirror of himself as he had risen back onto his feet.

“Take a few deep breaths while I explain.” The scruffy scientist instructed Rai, who began to catch his breath while his friends joined him in equal astonishment.

“Allow me to introduce you all to the esteemed leader of Los Fruta Academia: Mr. Raiko.” The scientist introduced the man with high honors.

Minnie chimed in, asking if she meant one of the schools in Paldea or Unova, to which the Professional image of her friend responded as he waved his hand to reveal another virtual screen, a recurring gesture apparently.

From the virtual screen, video footage of the different schools played.

“Where you come from, the three academies of Naranja, Uva and Blueberry are some of the most prestigious places a young mind can learn, however the leadership leaves something to be desired as well as confusing litigation, separation of institution and a rather grating structure of free form education.” The scholarly Rai explained.

“Of course, this occurred in your universe, whereas in my universe, I saw a need and filled it. I started by restructuring their education programming and implementing a much more efficient education staffing and managed to merge the different branches into one academy structure, of course it took me a couple of years, but it resulted in the largest and highest rated institution in all of-”

“D-did you just say YOUR Universe?!” Rai cut off the lecture with an incredibly shocked look on his face, shared only by his friends.

“Yes. Did you not know?” The man asked, turning his question towards the scientist.

“We just got here.” He responded.

The Schollary man chuckled a bit before taking the reins on this situation to clear the air for the ranger and his colleagues.

He explained that he is a version of Rai from another universe, HMR-1600, to be exact. 

“Also, it might get a tad confusing if you keep running into versions of yourself, so most of you are given nicknames to help keep the peace and to help break the ice. This well-educated man we like to call “The Headmaster’. The scientist explained.

“I prefer to address people by their universe. However, I do find the name rather fitting. I assume you will be at the meeting, it is why we were all called to the “Genesis Biome” in the first place.” The Headmaster stated as he waved  his hand and pressed in a sequence on the screen, with the elevator responding to his actions. 

The Headmaster left, taking the elevator to an unknown location and leaving the trio astonished and looking to the scientist for more answers.

He went on to explain that everything here was created by one man with the goal to help dying species gain a second chance at life, and as a result, he ended up stumbling across infinite multiversal travel.

“What does that have to do with us?” Tia of all people spoke up, questioning this whole operation.

“The creator of this project needs help, and we have come to the conclusion that he could possibly be the key to it all.” The scientist explained, gesturing to Rai, who was still taking in this information.

The ranger was a bit overwhelmed by all of this knowledge, not sure what he would expect from this call for help, but it certainly wasn't meeting parallel universe versions of himself, and one that was the head of a super famous academy nonetheless. 

Rai was definitely having a lot of emotions, as he tried to focus on the task at hand, not even hearing what other conversations might be happening as he noticed a small window nearby that let him oversee the large area of the many wild pokemon.

He wasn't a lavish man with high ambitions in life, but he knew what he was, and that was a man that carried about pokemon wellbeing.

“I want to go there.” He stated as he pointed to the land below.

The scientist checked his device, making a note and confirming that the pokemon don't particularly care for much human contact, so it wouldn't be wise for them all to go.

Rai replied that only he would be going.

The scientist tried to object, but Rai was insistent.

“If you want my help, then I need to see exactly what they have to say about you all.”

Could you explain what are multiple entity Pokemon?

Like why does Pokemon like Falinks and Tandemaus form a group?

Or why does Doduo and Dipplin gain multiple heads upon evolution?

I find these types Pokemon absolutely fascinating

Well, firstly, you need to consider that pokemon have a different biology and physiology than us, I mean, they can be turned into energy and shoot fire out of their mouths.

Now, in the case of multiple pokemon, they are pokemon that have a sort of symbotic or necessary relationship together.

Usually, there's a leader with followers, Falinks mostly.

Tandemaus rely on each other and their family so they will never separate. Both of these are examples of a sort of unified front, where they are considered one because of how much they rely on each other.

As for why some pokemon get more heads, it really depends on their biology, evolution, and environments.

Doduo simply has 2 heads with brash personalities. Perhaps it had 2 strong personalities that didn't want to go, so they were both too stubborn to disappear. Eventually, their personalities got so big that they needed a 3rd head.

Dipplin, I believe, had a personality in its tail, and the richness of the apple, sweets, and increase in power, especially being a dragon type, just resulted in more heads.

Not to mention, with it being a worm (wyrm?), a lot of insects have regrowth abilities, so if you bit into an apple and found half a worm, it might grow back.

All in all, I can't say for certain, I'm not a professor, I just like researching pokemon, and those are my educated guesses.

If you are truly fascinated by the topics, I encourage you to research more. Maybe YOU could be the next expert in these fields.

Either way, I hope this helps!

There's More to You pt.4

Rai's whole world was engulfed in bright pink light as he felt the pull into this doorway as though he was freefalling while standing up. He tried to look around for Bliss, Minnie and Tia but there was just too much pink as he saw an even brighter flash of white approaching and the intensity of the doorways pull getting even more powerful as he covered his eyes and let out a yelp in reaction.

*Ding*

Rai heard as he lowered his hands from his face and opened his eyes slowly.

His eyes were met with a far less harsh white light, much more like LED lights, still obnoxious but bearable as he noticed faces staring at him, some even chuckling.

As his eyes adjusted, he identified his surroundings as some kind of elevator that was filled with his friends, the scruffy haired jab worker, and a couple of those masked forces.

Rai heard snickering from somewhere he expected as he looked over to Minnie at his side, getting a kick at his awkward entrance. 

He then heard some muffled snickers and chuckles coming from a few guards, causing him to become a bit annoyed, ready to have some kind of snappy comeback, however his annoyance would turn into embarrassment as even the usually stoic Tia was letting out some giggles. Rai wasn't as annoyed but was feeling a blush cross his face.

“Don't feel too embarrassed. A lot of people don't know how to react to their first portal. It's just a little funny seeing a reaction like that from you of all people.”  The scruffy haired scientist explained.

Rai wondered what he meant by that, however he wouldn't have a lot of time to dwell on this thought as the elevator rose past the blank walls that they had been viewing on their way up, as they now felt like they had been shot upwards into a whole new world.

The Rangers and Athlete stood in awe as they saw what looked like a large, interconnected biosphere-like enclosure more than double, maybe triple the size of any structure they had seen.

Tia had been to her fair share of sporting venues and arenas, while Rai and Minnie had been to many major rehabilitation facilities, natural biomes, and enrichment compounds, but they were far less complex and much smaller in size.

There were mountain ranges that made Mt. Silver and Coronet look pitiful by comparison. 

The different types of environments were perfectly structured, with many different types of pokemon inhabiting them so peacefully.

The mountains could be seen eventually crossing into forested areas, with streams flowing into lakes. Beaches having long strands of sand eventually become deserts and not a single sign of disharmony. 

Every Pokemon seemed to have enough space for roaming, resources, food, and even the weather, which was perfectly centered and balanced to their individual needs.

They were all in amazement, with Rai being the most excited as he pushed himself against the glass, really observing and noting how so many different species of pokemon were able to coexist in such an amazing place.

His surprise grew as the elevator stopped in midair before shifting into horizontal movement, knocking the newcomers off their feet, with Rai and Tia falling into each other and Minnie falling into a guard, getting close enough to make out just barely an eye, with a familiar and haunting look to it.

As everyone regained their footing, Rai and Tia engaging in a rather embarrassing display of awkwardness, they were all once again in awe of the fact that they were moving over the entire facility, able to see pokemon, landscapes and life happening in just a trip in an elevator.

“This is only but a fraction of what we have built here, but you should consider yourselves extremely lucky as very few people get to visit the “The Jar.” The scientist explained as he waved his hand in the air to make a virtual console appear, to which he swiped and pressed a few things before the omni-vator slowed and changed its course.

Minnie had finally gotten over her amazement to finally snap at the scientist, asking what was the point in dragging them here, they seemed like they had everything they needed, and usually people who have a ton of armed guards aren't always up to something good.

He responded that the guards were to protect the valuable assets of the facility. However, they can be a bit gung-ho when visiting new locations, but they mean well.

Minnie looked over the guards, not feeling much better at this explanation.

“As for why we needed you all.” He added.

“We don't.”

Everyone was confused at this statement.

“We only needed him.” The scientist explained as he pointed to Rai.

Rai was pretty shocked at this statement, as he tried to rationalize the whole thing with Minnie trying to get more answers, causing a bit of a ruckus in the small elevator, which had gone dimmer as they had entered a tunnel, leaving behind the light of the beautiful biosphere.

He felt his back against the wall, trying to assess the situation as the omni-vator had slowed to a stop with the door being at his back.

“Ok, I'm not too sure what you mean by all of this, but I'm not that important. I-i’m just a normal ranger from Sinnoh who loves pokemon.” Rai began rambling while Minnie continued to struggle and make the enclosed space more inhospitable. 

“I think everyone would feel a lot better if we talked this out, maybe over a nice cup of-” Rai tried to rationalize and negotiate some level of peace in the chaos, with him slowly backing out of the enclosed area, only for him to collide with another body, causing both it hit the ground with the contents of the other individuals bag spilling all around.

Rai began apologizing profusely, not noticing the comotion dying down as he began shuffling around to pick up papers, pencils, and a pair of glasses that weren't his, as he returned them to their owner, his eyes widening as the owner placed his glasses back on his face.

As he rose to his feet everyone could get a better view at this spectacled individual, aside from a shorter, more tidy haircut, and a more professional dress style, this individual was an exact match for Rai.

Could you have a Pokémon with poison heal be poisoned forever?

It's extremely unlikely, next to impossible, due to the fact that poison heal is an ability that allows their body to break down the negative aspects of poisons, venoms, and toxins and turns them into nutrients.

In order to be in this state, they would need to be poisoned first, which technically they aren't.

Sure, there are abilities that can negate or replace other abilities, but this really wouldn't affect their bodies' chemistry to break down these enzymes.

It varies from pokemon to pokemon, and it'd why some might have an ability like Sand Veil, and others have Poison Heal, their body chemistry mostly.

There's more to you pt.3

Two hostiles on both sides and one approaching from the front. Weapons were a possibility as well. One untrained in the vehicle.

Rai had made the mental assessment, and knew his next move, he was just waiting on the signal.

He glanced over at his fellow ranger, who gave a light “scratch-scratch” under her chin.

Rai turned his head towards the masked figure at his window.

“So…Ya like Shellfish?”Rai questioned with a smirk as he leaned his head back while Minnie released her trusty Cloyster “Archy” who slammed into the first figure, before bouncing off and performing a “Rapid Spin” ricocheting off of the remaining two.

Once the road was clear, Rai gunned the engine and took off down the road.

Tia had popped up once more, completely confused and a bit worried about what was happening, to which Rai and Minnie responded with a lack of information.

The three fleeing adults jumped in surprise as a loud “Thunk” was heard from the truck bed, but a sigh of relief was had as they simply saw Archy sitting on top of the equipment they were hauling.

Rai commented that he seemed a little too happy about knocking out those masked people.

As their vehicle blazed down the dirt road, they both knew that there was only an open field between them and the main road, and they would be able to reach for any backup if needed.

Tia could feel her heart racing as fast as the truck was going, she was used to free falling and aerial combat, but this was actual danger, something they experience on a regular basis, she thought.

Her eyes darted through the dense forest around them, she could have sworn she saw figures moving through the trees, and she prepared to warn the rangers, however the sunlight piercing through the opening caught her attention as they entered the large open field.

The truck was now pacing its way through the mostly untamed grass, a few wild Field pokemon scampered away from the sound of the engine, with Rai letting out a little cheer of victory.

“Looks like they weren't so tough.” He stared at his passengers with a grin, which quickly turned into a grimace as he slammed on the breaks.

A chill ran down their collective spines as the three masked figures were now in the dozens, some standing with pokeballs ready, some with devices that could be described as “gun looking.” 

Rai and minnie tried to formulate a plan, but they were severely under prepared, outgunned, and basically all alone.

Tia had many thoughts racing through her mind. She worried about the well-being of these two rangers, sure. But she was also worried about her own safety, wondering if she could call out her Noivern “Mercy” and get away quickly.

She quickly shook that idea out of her head. She's not that kind of person, but…

“Did they find me?” She muttered to herself, catching Minnie's attention for a moment.

The thought didn't last long as Rai opened his car door and proceeded to address the crowd.

He called out for a peaceful resolution and explained what they wanted, asking them to please lower their weapons.

Minnie poked her head out of the window and told him to get his ass back in the car. They had guns and numbers.

Rai shrugged as he believed it was worth a shot.

To their surprise, the masked figures did indeed lower their arms.

“See, you can catch more Cutieflies with hon-” Rai stated with a smirk right before he found himself tied up with a large Bolo made of glowing energy. 

One of the armed figures with the large weapons had fired it mid-sentence.

Rai found himself rolling around in the grass and dirt as a couple figures had approached and lifted him up.

As Minnie and even Tia were ready to rush out of the car in an attempt to rescue the ranger, all were halted in place as a high frequency humming began emitting through the air quickly followed by a large, circular wall of energy.

The wall was made of a pink and white energy, at the center of it, a young man with dark, scruffy hair and a lab coat emerged, pushing through the guards and making his way towards the ranger.

“Are you serious?! This is how you ask someone politely?!” He called out in frustration at the two masked guards.

“They hit us with a Cloyster.” A guard responded.

The scruffy haired man dismissed the claim and ordered for Rai to be released.

He apologized  profusely as he released the restraints from the ranger, told the guards to stand down and picked up his hat, handing it back to Rai.

“I'm sorry if this seems a bit…extreme. However I can assure you that we only have good intentions.” The young man explained with a rather sincere smile.

Rai turned his attention to Minnie who was making many gestures that all translated to “bad guys, do not trust.”.

He was still pretty weary of this strangeness, however there was something about him that he found familiar.

Rai stepped back, explaining that he's taken down many strange operations and they weren't coming off as very different.

“Raiko, please! A lot of people need YOUR help.” The young man pleaded.

The ranger was taken back, only a handful of people knew his real name, and somehow this stranger knew it. Rai was still incredibly on the fence, but this young man felt trustworthy.

Rai agreed to go, telling Minnie to take the car back and to let everyone know he'll be right behind them. He said as he released Bliss from her pokeball, saying he needed to fill her in.

Before they even took a step forward, Minnie stepped in front of the two, explaining that he is crazy to think that she would let him go alone. 

He knew that there would be no stopping her, and he felt kind of relieved that someone would be joining him.

Rai felt a tug at the back of his vest, as he and minnie turned in confusion to see the tall passenger they had been accompanied by was also insisting on coming.

They both began to protest this, saying that she wasn't trained, and that she could get hurt, and for the first time, her powerful glare actually seemed to affect the two rangers somewhat.

The young scientist found this interesting, and chimed in that the two women would be more than appreciated to come, as the more people willing to help, the better.

Minnie stepped forward, explaining that they were coming to help, but to keep Rai safe, she stated as she got right into the face of a masked guard, trying to intimidate whoever was in there, however should only see her own reflection as she huffed off toward the portal.

Tia made eye contact with the scientist, who simply smiled back.

“A pleasure to have you join us, M'lady” He stated with a slight bow, causing a slight internal panic as she strided past him toward the portal near Minnie.

Rai released Runt, instructing him to get Jo and Eddie and to bring them the truck keys, and to watch out for Rita and Kuriboh while he was gone.

Runt gave him a few good licks before charging off toward the base, a smile on Rai's face shrinking down to a serious tone as he looked at Bliss, his most trusted partner. The two shared an unspoken agreement to look out for one another and protect anyone they could.

“You definitely have a strong bond with pokemon. That's exactly what we need right now.” The young man stated as he guided the ranger to the portal with his colleagues.

Rai stood before a doorway to a big unknown, no knowledge, no experience and no plan, but since when was that going to stop him?

He looked at his friends before taking a deep breath and stepping forward, engulfed in an immense light.

Any facts about Sylveon? I've had one since she was an Eevee and I would love to learn more about her species.

I get so many asks for Sylveon that I feel like I need to make a thread for it.

Let's see if I have any interesting facts.

Oh here's an interesting one:

Sylveon is actually the 3rd most popular Eeveeloution when it comes to people who commit crimes.

I know that sounds grim, but it's more interesting than you might think.

Much like Umbreon and Espeon, Sylveon evolves with a strong bond to its trainer. However, they have a very strong loyalty as well.

Because of their pretty nature, friendly disposition, and popularity, they are rarely assumed to be dangerous or have bad intentions.

Because of this, people have taken advantage of the assuming nature of Sylveon and used them to commit crimes.

It's really terrible to know there's a market for this as well, but it's better to be aware than a victim.

I know it's not a fun fact, but it does go to show how loyal this pokemon is and why you should cherish the choice they made to become one with you.

Hiya! My Braxien just evolved recently, and I wanted to ask. Do you have any tips on maintaining Delphox fur? I love my furball, but I feel overwhelmed with the amount of fur he's shedding (╥﹏╥)

Brush. Brush. Brush.

Extremely hairy pokemon have this problem, both Rita and Runt are big Shedders, but I've found that a couple of brushes a week helps with most of the shedding.

I also built them a brushing station out back, so they can rub themselves over it and get hair off passively.

As it gets warmer, you'll notice much more shedding, so I'd suggest taking your Delphox outside more often to brush and just be active to help with it.

A good bath every other week should help while she's deep shedding, along with a deep shedding comb.

It's a lot of work, but if it feels overwhelming, a groomer can help a lot with this as well, so if you have a local groomer, give them a call too.

Have fun with the fur!

I think this goes without saying but...

Please don't go climbing in places you shouldn't be.

Recently, we had a bit of a controversy of a trainer streaming himself climbing and roof hopping with their Aipom partners so they could post it online.

It really is both super dangerous and just irresponsible.

The trainer was apprehended, and they are gonna be in a lot of trouble.

But this isn't the first time we have had trainers doing stuff like this.

So many times, we get trainers climbing the off-limits parts of Mt Coronet, and those areas are secluded for a good reason.

I was fortunate enough to find Sylvester and calm him down from his tantrum but a lot of fully grown adult pokemon are much more difficult to calm down, which is why we have areas that are completely secluded.

Some areas might also be too unstable for travel and are more likely to crumble than a thin cookie.

If you see someone doing dangerous stuff like this, please speak up because it could make all of the difference between life and death.

Also, just don't be dumb.

Hiya there sir! I'm an Idol with a little problem, haha! You see, we got these Machoke from a company that trains Machop for guard duties like bouncers, body guards and such. Well, we got these few Machoke to guard the doors and keep peace in the crowd but the younger ones couldn't handle how intense the crowd was and started joining in the 'fight'. Nobody was seriously hurt, thank Arceus, but yeah... You know how stadiums can get pretty loud, especially at Idol concerts right? Well once the music started, all of the Machoke who refused the ear pieces provided (because I guess they were strange and felt weird in their ears?) kind of crumpled to the ground holding their heads and screamed. Is there a pokemon out there who's a little bit of a tank, calm, can handle crowds as well as super loud noises that can replace these Machoke? Thanks again!

This is quite the situation.

I'd assume that the company that trained them wasn't too legit or good at what they say they do.

Unfortunately, just like humans, pokemon can be extremely sensitive to loud sounds, and some polemon can even fall into the Autism Spectrum, becoming much more overwhelmed to stimuli.

Without examining the pokemon directly incouldnt really tell you, but taking them to a specialist could help.

I wouldn't completely leave pokemon to be security guards. They should be assisting real security guards and backing them up.

I would have personally recommended that you hire a company or some trained guards to secure the area, and then they have security assisting pokemon.

This might surprise you, but Mr. Mime are pretty good guards.

They are psychic types, so they are strong enough to handle crowds and individuals, either their powers, and make invisible barriers if needed.

They aren't too large, so they won't take up a ton of space, blocking the venue.

They can have the soundproof ability, which would make them immune or resistant to sound based attacks and lound noises.

Alternatively, you could get similar with Loudred or Exploud, but Mr. Mime is a pretty good choice for shows, especially due to them having hands rather than claws.
