ok, please listen to what I have to say: Heartslabyul gang visiting Riddle in Alola is a little chaotic, but not negatively.
Trey exploring markets and shops on a gourmet scavenger hunt because he's curious about the baked goods and sweets of the Pokémon world and can you blame him?
Cater, our influencer boy is loving the paradisiacal landscapes of Alola that he needed two more memory cards because he couldn't choose which photos to keep as they were all ✨fabulous✨ and he guaranteed that he would only post the ones that don't have pokemon because he isn't idiot and doesn't want some crazy person from their world causing problems in the pokemon world, this world already deals with villains and hunters and they don't need some maniac running around hunting pokemon and dragging them back to Twisted to sell as if they weren't living beings that deserve it respect.
Deuce having fun exploring the islands on some poke-ride while his grandmother and mother enjoy some vacation. Our blueberry boy had fun like a child who ended up being adopted by a Dranpa and also made friends with a little machop, it seems he accidentally caught his first two pokemon 😂 (machop is also a good pokémon helping his mom and grandma ❤️)
Ace exploring around and buying some souvenirs and trinkets while thinking about which Pokémon he could catch. Not to mention when he tried to prank Riddle who was napping in a hammock and his Stufful stared at Ace with dead eyes as if to say in threat: Go ahead, I dare you...
Not Ace being traumatized by Riddle's Stufful.
TREY WOULD ABSOLUTELY ADORE MALASADAS AND WOULD 100% TRY AND MAKE THE RECIPE WHEN HE GETS BACK HOME
I also see him being genuinely interested on how Alolan Raichu evolved and become psychic type through the sheer power of fluffy pancakes
we stan Cater being conscious of his surroundings, he’s such good, very cool 😎
the Drampa and Machop essentially claim Deuce as their trainer lol, Ohana gifts him some Pokeballs to catch them and Riddle allows Deuce to keep them at Heartslabyul, as long as he doesn’t show them off or let them destroy stuff
ACE IS TRAUMATIZED BY YHE STUFFUL THAT’S WHAT HE GETS HEHEHE
no but seriously, Ace is 100% buys all sorts of souvenirs to take back and give to the other first years he’s so sweet, even though he might be an ass abt it

makes me so sad thinking abt the state of the old pokemon card market these days, but also rly glad i was able to (more or less 😅) complete my collection a few years ago, like i'd never be able 2 do that these days 😳
still, it's so sad there's a few cards i'll never get like, the only card i'm missing from gym challenge is blaine's charizard, and i never got that b4 cos 5 years ago it was abt £50.. but just looking now, the cheapest i could find a decent condition one was £125 😦

oh also, while i’ve been talking abt fake cards, and as i got those magazines out from under my bed, i also still have this..
Tumblr media
fake “ancient sanctuary” tin 😦
p sure i got this from our local market, which sold bootleg pokemon and yu-gi-oh stuff alongside the bootleg cds and dvds, and it was probably full of loose fake yu-gi-oh cards 😅
despite the nonsense name (probably “ancient sanctuary” poorly translated from japanese to spanish, and then again from spanish to english?? 🤔) and the fact the metal it’s made of is a lot poorer quality than on the legitimate yu-gi-oh tins, it’s actually still quite a nice looking tin and still pretty sturdy, which is why i still have it!! altho atm it’s full of a bunch of old spare pokemon cards 😭
