#Zorua won't unless it is needed

I'm going to start the Pokemon Black Artlock, so I should post the rules.
Artlock Rules and Info
- Same basic rules of nuzlock, if a pokemon faints, it's considered dead, catch the first pokemon per route, and nickname them.
- Running with no duplicates, so if I already caught the pokemon or its species, I can go for another encounter.
- Here is a special rule: I am allowed use of the new event cartridges I have, though no overleveled pokemon. For example, I can get Victini in Castelia City, but I can't use a Genesect unless I'm either late game or not at all. Probably won't, but I will have them for encounters in the cities. The only one I plan to actually use is Victini. Also going to give myself a master ball from the event for the Victini(it will be virtually impossible to catch Victini otherwise, I did catch it in Pokémon White when I was testing it out, and it took over 40 Ultra Balls to catch it with only 1hp left).
- I will count it as an official run if I can get past the second gym(Lenora and her retaliating Watchog).
- I will draw every encounter I catch, and how every pokemon dies. Might draw anything that I think would be neat to draw in between.
- In game trades are available, and can catch needed pokemon for the trade.
- Gift pokemon and static pokemon count as separate encounters.
- Certain areas that are split(example: Pinwheel Forest) can be separate encounters.
- Should I find a shiny(unlikely, but always possible), I'm allowed to catch it, regardless of if I already encountered something on that route, or if I have one of that species already.
- The only trade I do with another game is to get Celebi to get the Zorua(an event I already had access to since before I got the event cartridges) and I will trade it back as soon as I have the Zorua.
And I think that's it. I'll be posting all the art here, and even use this as the masterpost for everything to follow. If I wipe anytime up to and during the second gym, I will restart. And depending on the new run encounters, I'll redraw the encounters, but otherwise I will keep the drawings from the previous run as canon.
Also, @bluepallilworld thought you'd be interested in following this, since I've been talking to you about pokemon stuff lately.

I need to post something, SHORT FICLET(?) ANYONE?
Tumblr media
(Please credit if you use the icon)
Would You Rescue Me?
(Atticus x Giacomo short AGERE oneshot)
Giacomo had a very frustrating day. A few idiots, who still weren't convinced that Team Star was really innocent, had been bothering him through one of his classes, and had even tried to follow him to his dorm. In a panic, he quickly changed directions, heading towards Atticus' room so he wouldn't be alone. They'd called him several names in his history class that he'd rather not repeat, and he didn't even want to know what they were thinking as they not-so-sneakily attempted to follow him to his dorm. When he knocked on a door, rather than attempting to unlock it though, they stood back. The door opened after a few moments, the ones following behind not even seeing who let him in.
As soon as he stepped foot in and the door was closed and locked behind them, Giacomo made sure that both locks were done, Atticus' brow furrowed as he looked down at him, silently asking for an explanation. This wasn't a planned visit in the slightest, something had to have been seriously wrong. After a few moments of an awkward silence, the panic-fueled adrenaline started to wear off as Atticus had began to place some of Momo's stuff on the counter, not saying a word, not wanting to upset him further. The shorter male just stared at the ground. His hands started to shake as he no-longer felt like at any moment he could be pounced on, like a Deerling in a field of Pyroar.
His breathing hitched for a moment, before a quiet choked out sob was heard by Atticus. "Oh little one..." Giacomo broke at those words. He buried his face into Atticus's chest, his hands clenching the fabric closest to his face in a fist. "Dada is here sweetheart..." he started sobbing aloud as the taller now lifted him up. He wrapped his legs around the caregiver's waist. "Th-They were g-gon' get me da" he sniffled as he started to slip down, rapidly. "Din' mean bother you. Was scared!" He choked up again, continuing to pitifully sob. "No harm shall be done to you little one. You are with your Dada little star, you are safe. Get all those scary feelings out baby. Dada's got you..." he spoke softly in a whisper, trying to calm the little one hiding in his shoulder. Atty had pieced together what had happened, one of his few suspicions confirmed. "Dada" he sniffled. He snuggled further into Atticus' shoulder, if possible. "Dada is right here little one..." the taller assured softly. He walked over to the closet for a moment, grabbing a little baby blue case from the top shelf. He popped it open, offering the little one his paci. It had remained in the case, all nice and clean for the next time its comfort was required. Momo hid in his shoulder again for a moment after eyeing the small comfort object. "Dada won't judge Pumpkaboo... He is more than okay if you need it." Atticus would never touch the object himself unless asked to. That was his baby's and he respected it. Giacomo always got very very shy and anxious when it came to any of his little items. It took Atty forever to get him comfortable enough to even use the items infront of him without his help. He still got shy about using them, but Atticus assured him he would never make fun of, or scold him for having such comfort items. But he was a very patient caregiver and would give his little one all the time in the world. He would never push or insist. Whatever made Giacomo most comfortable.
"Can hav' da?"
The smaller asked in a whisper, sniffling. Atty didn't know whether to smile or frown. He'd asked for him to give him the pacifier, a big brave step for him. On the other hand, he must be very desperate or so scared and small he was fully reliant on him. But that's 10000% okay. "Dada's got you little star..."
Atticus grabbed the little red ring on the comfort item, easing the Zorua paci to the little one's lips. The case was sat back up onto the shelf. Most of his little ones' regression items were hidden up there. A very soft Umbreon plushie was sitting on the shelf, Gio's gaze fixed on it. Atty noticed almost immediately something had caught his attention. He looked up at the shelf as well. "What has caught your attention little one?" The regressed boy made a 'grabby hand' at the shelf. That didn't help much...
Atticus then reached back up, grabbing his light blue and white Swablu baby blanket. Gio hesitated, now wanting it as well but still wanting the Umbreon. He now made two 'grabby hands.' Atticus understood now. He grabbed the little blankie and the Umbreon's paw in the same hand. He handed both to the teary-eyed little one, the dark type trainer laying his head back down on his shoulder. One hand heald the Swablu blankie and rested on the opposite shoulder, his arm around his caregiver's shoulder. The other hand heald Umbreon, pulling it up to his chest. "There we are little star..."
The warmth of comfort that seemed to radiate off the taller male in the moment had Giacomo desperate to stay in his hold. "Can Dada set you down for a moment little star?" Atticus asked softly. The baby shook his head, his grasp on the taller's shirt tightening. "Alright bubs, alright." The poison type trainer was going to help him get into some comfier clothes but his emotional comfort comes first. It hurt his heart to hear the crying from his little one, wishing so badly he could never be sad ever again. "How does a bottle sound little one?" Momo hesitated for a moment, nodding a little nervously. "Dada does not mind little one...you are such a brave little star, did you know that? You have been such a big help to Dada today at getting you comfortable. Dada is so so proud of you..." Atticus cooed, making his way to the makeshift dorm kitchen. The darker haired male smiled just a little from behind his paci, sniffling a little, but a soft little giggle was heard. That warmed Atty's heart...
He hummed softly as he skillfully prepared the bottle of Moomoo milk for his little one.
Giacomo softly cried as Atticus bounced him carefully in his arms, a bit calmer than before. The microwave quietly hummed in the background as he hushed the little one. Seeing the poison type Team Star member a bit out of his element, was odd for just about anyone else. He was just in a video game t-shirt and some very thin pajama pants. The fluffy ones or even just regular ones were too warm for him, but he still liked having his legs covered. That wasn't the problem at hand though. "Shh little one...Your dada has got you..." Giacomo tried, he really did, but he was upset. And he was allowed to feel that way. It just hurt Atticus to see him this upset and scared. Atty opened the microwave a few seconds before it beeped, not wanting to spook the little one any more with any sudden sounds. He carefully screwed the yellow, star covered lid on, with one hand, gently shaking it up.
He sat down on a couch, next to the bed in his cramped dorm room. Not too much time was spent in here anyways, but cramped nonetheless. His little one was now sat in his lap, slightly propped up on the arm of the couch, as well his own arm. Atticus kissed his little one's head as he heard a quiet sniffle, setting the bottle on the coffee table infront of them. "Alright little star...can we set your paci down for a moment? You can have it right back afterwards, you have Dada's word...Dada has a baba for you..."
Momo looked away from his caregiver, a bit embarrassed to have Atticus watch him take his paci out. He handed it to his Dada, whimpering a bit as the tears started to build back up a bit as he no longer felt grounded. He clung to his Dada as he leaned over to set the paci on the table, rushing to grab the bottle of Moomoo milk. "Shhh...oh little star. It's alright baby. Dada's got you, please don't cry sweetheart. Look what Dada's got Pumpkaboo..." he hushed softly. Atticus heald up the star themed bottle, gently shaking it to get the boy's attention. A few stray tears slipped down as he reached for it. "Sippy" Giacomo sniffled. Grabby hands were made towards it.
"Do you want Dada's help little one?" Atty asked before he handed it to Gio. The regressed boy thought about it for a moment, hiding behind his blankie in embarrassment. He was chewing on one of the corners. A little shy, he nodded, still clinging to the comfort items with one hand, the other holding his Dada's shirt. "You are doing so good today little one...Dada's so proud of you. So so brave..." Atty cooed, carefully easing the bottle towards him, as if making sure that Gio himself was absolutely sure. Momo leaned forward, a small whine of frustration before the gap was broken, and the little one started to sip on the bottle.
Atticus hummed softly, the little one listening to the rumbling of his chest, as he continued to hold his 'sippy' for him. It went on like this until Giacomo started to doze off. His eyes were fluttering shut every few seconds, his Dada softly laughing at his sweet, sleepy baby. The nearly empty bottle was sat back on the table and the paci was given back to the baby. Gio was carefully sat up, his head back on his caregiver's shoulder.
The baby boy finally slipped into a peaceful sleep, his blankie and Umbreon still in hand. Atticus kept his hold on the little one, gently running his hand through his little Pumpkaboo's hair.
"No harm shall come to you as long as I am here my little one..."

SHIT I forgot I should do one of those pinned posts explaining who I am. i mean probably i kinda like the mystery but eh whatever.
im Basil. unovan. she/her. Hex Maniac "curse fanatic" by circumstance.
blog title source
I've got Toothpaste, he's a shiny Obstagoon and my baby boy; Thyme, that Dusknoir, my uncle; Jupetta, a Banette, Thyme's Pokemon before he turned into a Dusknoir.
There's also Skorna, the bone Runerigus. She's just a pest.
Deckard, a white-furred Zorua (NOT HISUIAN) i found in my backyard. He's baby
Mint, a Sneasel I got as a gift from a friend of mine 💜 she's very bity
I've also got a new Poryphone named Porypory. it speaks in pink, is very polite.
oh and the 19 shuppet from the halloween party
... And Bluebell! An Alolan Meowth I found in the dumpster in Alola. She's a million years old and the sweetest cat in the world
image of thyme here
image of skorna here
image of toothpaste here (also me)
image of jupetta (mostly toothpaste tho)
image of deckard (and also me)
image of mint (and my arm)
this weird breloom someone let loose outside my house??
Tumblr media
> ooc notes under the cut
9/15/23 updated her 'main' image to be more in line with how i draw her
subscribed blogs only dash (I'm really just putting this here for myself but if y'all need it idm)
my other pokeirl blogs are @crossbones-n-skull and @nifuunbakufuun!
join the hex maniac discord server! more info (kinda) in linked tumblr post. if the link is dead lmk ill fix it (discord added a thirty day link cap)
basil's cousin, sage, is over at @sage-the-exorcist (run by my friend, statik!) she currently has him blocked (its not working)
additional facts for my own reference:
skorna speaks in orange.
thyme speaks in green.
porypory speaks in pink.
jupetta, toothpaste, and deckard don't speak through the blog. (however, if given voice through an event, their text will be colored as seen.)
two voice claims that i'm debating (but i take suggestions)
family bibliography (books)
loose timeline
view the blog in chronological order here! (bear in mind there is quite a lot. lol)
Basil is 25 (as of nov 1st 2023!). I'm (the mod) 19.
she lives in the woods around icirrus city, in an old house that she just... took. it was abandoned so what about it its hers now
thyme the dusknoir is her uncle. he did not die naturally.
jupetta the banette was her uncle's, but technically is hers now. she inexplicably knows Teleport.
skorna the runerigus isn't kept to a Pokeball, as she and Basil are literally bound to each other through possession bullshit.
back when thyme was alive, they did a LOT of travelling. she's primarily been to galar and kalos, but have stopped in every region at least once. only place they haven't been to is paldea, and that's because thyme isn't allowed in because he tried to go in the crater
thyme had a TV show.
mun is aromantic, but Basil is bisexual with a female lean
post detailing Basil and Skorna's connection

Tumblr media
if anyone ever wants to plot anything, feel free to dm me! I'm always down, could be fun. I just don't do "in-person" RP on Tumblr- this is strictly a social media site for the character. update- i will rarely do off-rotumblr RP, but it is not going to be frequent. all threads will be completely under readmores
note that, while Basil most likely won't be super active in high-stakes plotlines, i might have her react to some, especially if i find them interesting. she's no main character.
if you want your character to know basil out-of-rotumblr, feel free to DM me here on tumblr! my PMs, unless specified are an ooc-only zone and im always happy to chat about rp.
(however, please keep in mind that i'm really not one for small talk that doesn't have to do with rp; i have too many bad experiences with people befriending me in my PMs and then just offloading trauma. i don't shut the fuck up in discord servers where other people are though lmao.)
on that note, i do have a discord! if you wanna invite me to any servers feel free to pm me about that too!

So Emmet just straight up found a caught a Zoroark, huh. Didn’t even raise it from a Zorua. I’m guessing that it’s gonna take a longer amount of time before Zoroark warms up to Emmet than if he had raised it from a Zorua instead. An adult that looks down on humans probably would have a worse attitude than one raised by the trainer. Unless for whatever reason he returns it home and a curious young Zorua follows him back instead. Which sounds like too much effort, so that probably won’t happen.
I was originally going to have him catch a Zorua and raise it. but having him catch a weakened Zoroark that was just a few seconds ago tormenting his family with his future image felt like an interesting point.
The funny thing is, Emmet had no idea he was catching a Zoroark. when the ball left his hand the Zoroark had been disguised as a Bergmite. it was only when it was about to hit that he realized...he had no clue what he was looking at.
and yeah the Zoroark is definitely not too happy about being caught and will take some time to warm put to his new trainer. but it gives Emmet something to work on. a nice little challenge.
the good news is, that the Zoroark won't be attacking either twin, poor thing has Papa Ingo breathing down its neck with Lady Sneasler and Gliscor right behind him. but he may not be too keen on taking orders from his new trainer either.
all three will need to work together to better understand each other. and who knows...maybe Zoroark might clever enough to realize what's really going on here, and may not be too happy with Arceus about the family the god will end up ripping apart in the end.

I’m friends with you on PoGo. Your Pokémon is very cute! Do you talk to it? Today I thanked my Pokémon buddy for her gift. (She brought me a leaf!) I avoided tamagotchis during the 90s, only to be snagged by the little buddy in my phone.
Aww yeah :D I do genuinely call him "lil buddy" as well, even though since he evolved, I think Tagliatelle is taller than me.
Hmm, hang on.
Tumblr media
Still only waist height! He's just noodly.... :D
I don't know if I caught him in an event because it's been too long, but I never seen jangmo-o in the wild except for when they're zorua pretending, which is a neat way to spot them, since they like mimicking the pokemon you have out, but also give me a heart attack each time because I desperately need nearly 100 candies still to make Tagliatelle even longer and he's such a rare friend :)
But yeah... I was so bad at keeping tamagotchis alive, it's nice that pokemon stepped into that ecosystem and don't require feeding or cleaning unless you WANT to pet them and feed them. He won't go anywhere if I spend a month under a blanket ignoring the app because I don't want to leave the house XD

Howdy, y'all! Ya can call me Constellation, Driftveil, Jockey - whatever ya feel up ta. I'm a Pokemon Racing Jockey, an' I raise racin' 'mon. Why Constellation? Eh, I ain't given out my real name yet, but I am named after a constellation, so I'll give all y'all that much.
Of my own team, I've got Sunny the Zebstrika, Burn the Arcanine, Blister the Rhyhorn, Blaze the Rapidash, Glory the Galarian Rapidash, an' Tsunami the Lapras. All female team, unintentional but that's how the cards ended up fallin' for me, but we prioritize speed over battlin'.
I do all sorts of races across land an' sea, though I ain't takin' ta the sky anytime soon. Just ain't for me.
I grew up 'round Driftveil, an' I've always had a passion for racin', an' I can legally be on my own. Right now I'm in Kalos for racin'. That just 'bout covers everythin' ya really need to know about me.
Pelipper Mail+Unmail+Malice: On Sentient/Sapient Pokemon: Allowed Legendary/Mythical Pokemon: Allowed Musharna Mail+Malice: On Magic Anons: Off //OOC Info under the cut
flops in. hello again it's me azure (@/anxiousazure) i'm back again with another pkmn irl character except this time he's not a bba character. branching out. constellation is a silly little guy i made up in my head because i like the idea of pokemon racing. this character is 17, but i'm asexual and will delete anything more than flirting because i simply don't want to deal with it. i myself am an adult.
i also run @/kitakami-zorua-kin (my most active), @/sinnohs-eve, @/noivernofkitakami, @/kitakami-specter, and @/unovan-artist (my least active).
i mod have really bad social anxiety so if i havent answered or interacted. i am simply scared. constellation is extroverted but i am not i am very easily intimidated and my brain will continuously go "but what if there's an unspoken Rule you're breaking" and paralyze me. and hey! you are always, always, always free to include constellation or any of my other OCs in drawings or stories or anything else! just. maybe please tag me because i want to see them. <3
constellation is just a racing guy and as far as i'm aware won't be touching on too dark of topics backstory wise. i think. these things are always subject to change though. either way he's a silly fun loving racing jockey cowboy unless i (or y'all) decide to spring the horrors upon him.

OOC pinned info below the cut!
about ciaran:
raised in lacunosa town, and moved to castelia city as a young adult in order to work at the battle company. they enjoy their work, but unfortunately find themself overwhelmed by how crowded the city is, so they tend to be a shut-in outside of office hours. they're much more comfortable talking through the screen than in person. ciaran would like to become a pokemon professor, but they aren't certain what exactly they'd like to study, and instead they spend a lot of their free time researching whatever aspects of pokemon biology are most interesting in the moment, often centering around "scarier" types such as dark, ghost, and poison. now and then they take weekend trips around unova to study whichever pokemon have most recently caught their fascination. most of their team was caught on these research trips. they also enjoy horror movies, and can frequently be found bundled up on their apartment couch with the tv screen glowing in the dark room. when it comes to battling, ciaran has both their studious and analytical nature and their bond with their pokemon on their side, but their nerves around other people prevent them from reaching their full potential.
about ciaran's team:
banette: ciaran's partner pokemon, caught as a shuppet years ago, back when they lived in lacunosa town. "caught" is a generous word, though - it was more that the mon started following them around and ciaran didn't mind the company. in fact, it became the closest friend ciaran had in their youth, and the two have retained their close bond through the years. confident in its battling abilities. helps ciaran with their work at battle co.
trubbish: caught on a research trip. it happily consumes ciaran's trash, helping their apartment to stay tidy. has accidentally poisoned ciaran on multiple occasions, resulting in a couple days off work every time. eager to battle and become stronger. helps ciaran with their work at battle co.
zoroark: acquired as a zorua from a somewhat shady but seemingly harmless internet acquaintance. ciaran had wanted to study the zorua line, but was having difficulty locating any until this mysterious friend offered their help. in its youth, it enjoyed burrowing into ciaran's hair. gets nervous about battling, but enjoys doing so nonetheless. helps ciaran with their work at battle co.
foongus: caught on a research trip. sort of frenemies with trubbish due to foongus being much more careful than the other mon. ciaran uses its spores to make medicine when poisoned. dislikes battling, but will if needed, and tries to make it quick.
yamask: caught on a research trip. ciaran has tried to figure out who it might have been, if it had truly been a person that died and became a pokemon, but they've had no luck so far. sometimes rests on ciaran's head or shoulders. a very skittish mon who won't battle unless it's an emergency.
zweilous: caught on a research trip. ciaran takes special care to treat both heads as equally as possible, so the two of them get along fairly well. often chews on ciaran's pant legs. greatly enjoys battling, but battling is the one thing that makes its two heads start bickering, so ciaran is still trying to teach them to get along better before it can help at battle co.
about the blog:
this is mostly a pokeblog, posting from ciaran's point of view and imagining what they would be doing in their day to day life, but i'm not opposed to traditional rp if anyone is interested! i also welcome people to send asks to chat with ciaran, whether that's to get their opinion on pokemon care or just to goof off together :]

there’s going to be a storm soon... And a bad one at that. Hope the Purrloin (& the Liepard, who I’ve only seen once) will be fine. Going to prepare for the storm.

Excuse me! I need a little help. Recently I adopted a Zorua from my friend, and I absolutely love the lil gal. But she hates being near me. She'll always be hiding somewhere and barely comes out for food or water unless I'm not around. I think she only hides because she knows her disguises won't trick me.. I know that Zorua are cowardly Pokemon, but I've never seen a Zorua this extremely timid. Do you have any advice on how to get het to warm up to me?
She probably doesn’t hate you! It’s likely that she’s not used to you. She’s anxious because she left her old home and is now in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people.
My recommendation is to give her time and space so she can get adjusted to living with you. She’ll come around eventually.

{{ Headcanon asks! 1, 3, and 9? -@works-of-magic
How accurate is the pokedex? Are things like litwik eating life force, being burned by houndoom and the pain never stopping, macargo being hotter than the sun, gardevoir making black holes, and even more - are they true? false? what percent, and to what extent?
The Pokedex is written for children to understand, and will sometimes exaggerate to make things more interesting or even safer for the travelers. Yea, Houndoom and Magargo aren't gonna kill you on sight, but Houndoom is very dangerous and they don't want kids to provoke it; and you shouldn't be touching Magargo in the first place.
ultimately, though, i will pick and choose what's true or not to have more fun lol
does the anime effect your headcanons? what about the spin off games? do you like to ignore them, take everything, or a mix of both?
eeeeeeeemaybe? im not an avid anime watcher but i am a spinoff enjoyer. <- purchased pokepark wii 2 wonders beyond for the nintendo wii last week. i take what i like, extrapolate on what i think makes sense. i do like some things from the anime like how zoroark's illusions work but i will largely ignore it unless i dont want to.lol
what are some general care ideas you have for various Pokémon, both on your team or not?
you've gotta let your dusknoir wander around and reap souls. enrichment
obstagoon will shed a LOT brush them out frequently. they like to listen to loud music
zorua aren't born knowing how to illusion, and typically will be taught that skill by their parents. Basil needs to find a teacher for Deckard soon or he won't be able to move past auditory illusions.
banette eat stuffing and should if they're sick/injured. you can sew them up if they're wounded.
