Midori One Day One Page 344!

Thought about going with Umbreon for the last day of Dark Type Week, but... I did draw Umbreon during an earlier Theme Week, so I went with one (or two) of my Surprise Faves!

//Response to @cottonthumb's starter\\

[TEXT] I heard you had Applin? 👀

[TEXT] I have an Appletun who could use a new friend, and my farmhand has been looking for a new pokemon to add to his team for a while now.

[TEXT] We could take an Applin or two off your hands, James loves the little guys and I think they're adorable!

[TEXT] Oh yeah this is the guy who's orchard you were carried to by impidimp, btw. Sorry about that day, it was a bit awkward...

Today in Gay People: Hassel.

There's something I've noticed about our resident art teacher, and that's... well, Flapple. I mean, we all know how gay the whole Applin deal is, but... well, it's where it is that's particularly interesting.

This is Steven Stone's team.

This is Cynthia's team...

This is Wallace's team...

I could go on. (And yes, I'm using champions because, like Hassel, they're important, powerful NPCs with a proper team, and let's be real here, Hassel is five minutes, that Tournament Dragonite and a fuck to give away from kicking Geeta out of his office.)

But the point here is... well, that penultimate slot. The fifth slot in a champion's team - or fourth, in Hassel's case - is reserved for the vice-captain role. It's the Pokemon hardest to take down before the ace, meant to weaken you up - the secondary signature mon. We see here with Milotic - defence for days, Marvel Scale, offensive too. And we see it with Armaldo - excellent attack, difficult type. And then we see it with Gyrados - Dragon Dance, Earthquake, power. Utility. That second-to-last slot is designed to weaken you up for the finale, the real powerhouse of the squad. Leon does it too - his fifth slot is the starter strong against yours, the one you may not have a counter to if your team-building isn't on point.

... And then we have Hassel.

... Now, there's a few things to note here.

Flapple shares the same quad weakness as Noivern, which leads. That's, er... different.

Flapple, statistically, is the weakest Pokemon here. Not by a lot - Dragalge is only ten points or so better, but it's a defensive Pokemon. It's meant to fill that role, as well as being a counter to Fairies.

Flapple isn't the utility mon most penultimate-slot mons are.

... And yet, here it is. Now, I could draw upon Hassel's six-mon Tournament team here, which adds Dragonite into this slot instead, but the Tournament is Hassel fucking about. He's been chilling in the staffroom and someone's gone "oh, that champion-rank kid's up, get out here." The Elite Test line-up is him at work. He's specifically chosen to leave a pseudo-legendary at home... for Flapple.

And why would he do that? @edgeanescence pointed out on the EphemeralArt Discord that the penultimate slot is meant to represent the trainer; the personality and the heart of them, as well as acting as vice-captain. And, well...

Cynthia's is a Milotic. Grace, beauty, the defence of Sinnoh against Cyrus.

Steven's is an Armaldo. A fossil, a Rock-type, the strongest of all fossils at the time - perfect sentiments for him.

Wallace's is a Gyrados. Power, controlled by a former eighth gym slot; ferocity in water.

... And Hassel's is a Flapple. Like him, she has power, but what she represents as a Grass/Dragon is much more important to him than raw offence or defence. She is his softness; she is his tears, and pride in his students; she is part-Brassius. Whether Brassius gave him the Flapple or not is irrelevant, though it's pretty compelling that he did - this man takes a representation of his heart and of his love into battle over the Dragonite, who has 120 more points of stats. By rights, even if he's leaving the Dragonite at home, Haxorus should be here if this is about power, not Flapple.

And you can tell me that it's about game balance as much as you like, but oh look:

Brassius's rematch team, everyone, and look at that penultimate slot.

Look at that Arboliva sculpture, with Brass's own spikiness and Dragon-type purple-tinged blue.

Brassius is not like Appletun, the obvious counterpoint here. Brassius is drama; Brassius is a man formerly weak, much like Smoliv; Brassius is not home comforts, apple pies, yet he's surprisingly kind and encouraging. Reminding you of anything?

... Ah, yes. Arboliva, depending on mood. And, if you're not already convinced...

That's Flapple, in the Violet dex. Strong, and covered in clay. Like a fucking artist, or a man who loves a sculptor.

When the chips are down, when they show up to work, when they have important, key battles, Hassel and Brassius don't just take their Pokemon to the arena.

They take themselves, and they take each other.

How The SW/SH Gym Leaders + Leon Would Ask You Out

I got one idea for Milo and my brain decided that I had to do this for everyone, you’re welcome /j

Milo

Let’s be honest, he’d do that tradition of giving you an Applin

It’s so simple, yet so sweet

Your Applin is best friends with his Flapple/Appletun

Nessa

I feel like she’d be so bold, yet so nervous at the same time

Eventually, she would give you an autograph

“- Nessa; Your #1 Fan”

Pray for her if you’re dense as hell

Kabu

Peepaw Kabu would’ve just walked up to you and asked you out

Nothing special, not nervous at all

Just straight up asks you

Gordie

Backflips

“Wanna go out with me?”

Okay, okay, seriously, he would use some of the cheesiest pickup lines

And maybe does a backflip

Melony

Honestly, she would probably be so over the top

Like, she would make whole ass ice sculptures with her pokemon just to ask you out

Piers

He wouldn’t

Marnie would confess for him, fed up with his lovesick bullshit

Unless he did get the courage, he’d straight up serenade you

Raihan

Oh, he’d be so fucking bold

Probably finished beating some random kid’s pokemon

Fucking announced to the whole stadium that he loves you

It worked

Somehow

Leon

One day, he probably held onto your hand just so his dumbass doesn’t get lost

You were definitely asked if the two of you were dating by some random people

Leon saw the opportunity

“We could be. Wanna go out with me?”

day 10: grass type - appletun+applin*+flapple (great dragons+empress+great winds)

the apple siblings...they are the leaders of my monotype dragon themed casino. empress is the big boss that the other two protects, as she is the wielder of a legendary weapon that has been passed down and guarded by her family for generations. many people challenge the casino in hopes of acquiring this treasure.

she is the youngest sibling and neither of her older siblings expected their mother to choose her as the inheritor of the weapon, as she was weak from birth and has no fighting abilities whatsoever. but it was because of this dilemma that great dragons and great winds were able to set aside their hatred and bitterness for each other to join forces and protect her. she is the apple of their eye...

orange applin called mandarin?

(this is very much related to a post i made about an applin in an orange)

Pokemon Variants: Mandarinn

Mandarin (also called Orange or Oranginn) is the name for an Applin that inhabits an orange instead of an apple. Despite its name, they don't always inhabit mandarin oranges.

Applin

An Applin that inhabited and orange. They're found mostly in Paldea in parts of the region where oranges are grown, as well as a region South of Unova, where they're the most common.

Appletun

If a mandarin Applin inhabited a sweet tasting orange was given the special sweet orange item, it will evolve into an orange appletun. This breed of Appletun was bred to taste like orange pie with a mix of candy oranges. Many beach towns in Paldea have them (as well as pineapple appletun), and they're commonly used for festivals. The sweet oranges on their back are safe to eat, and grow back within a day, however, pulling off the two (2) oranges on the top can hurt them.

Flapple

If an orange applin eats a sour orange, or is given the sour orange item, it will evolve into an orange flapple. Orange Flapple use the orange peel to fly. Instead of their body resting on the orange, their lower body has fused with the orange instead. This can make flying for them a bit more difficult because of the added weight, so they're more known for gliding from branch to branch.

Dipplin

My favorite one for this variant. Orange Dipplin evolve by eating a sticky orange, or their given a syrup apple. They secrete pulpy orange juice from the top of their bodies, which attracts a lot of bug types they can eat but also attracts the unwanted attention of flying types.

//my designs can be used by anyone if you credit me!

Hassel Headcanons:

Despite being referred to or described as "old" Hassel is in his mid to late 40s.

Hassel was shunned by his father for being too sensitive and interest in making a music career.

His hometown is all the way in Johto with him originating from Blackthorn City.

Hassel and his family come from a long line of dragon tamers and is distantly related to Clair.

Due to his soft nature, Hassel hates conflict and finds it emotionally draining.

While he loves all dragon types, Baxcalibur is his favorite and his ace.

Despite this, the first dragon type he caught was a Noibat.

Hassel plays classical or orchestra music while he teaches art.

He is a long time close friend with Brassius and first met him when he moved to Paldea.

His Flapple was given to him from Brassius when it was an Applin.

He is pansexual.

Hassel is one of the most beloved teachers at the Naranja/Uva Academy by students and staff alike, with his art class becoming full within a few days.

Students love Hassel not only for his kind hearted personality, but also he's an easy grader. Double win.

Despite being an easy grader, he worries his class may be too hard for some. He wants to make art accessible to all students

He is close with Larry and brings out the kinder side of the latter when they eat in Medali.

Hassel has only lost his temper a handful of times since he has been teaching, which is over 20 years. It takes an ungodly amount of bad behavior to make him upset.

True empath and can feel the emotions of others just by looking at them.

His voice is deep in tone, but soft in cadence.

Struggles to put up boundaries for himself. This may cause others to take advantage of him.

Has a very hard time saying no or standing his ground. His coworker

Rika or school faculty help stand up for him when he's being manipulated.

Super polite, even when dealing with a difficult student.

Hassel also has a deep interest in medieval art and music which reflects his specialty with dragon type Pokémon.

Despite his appearance, he is notably maternal and patient.

Gets emotional when he gets compliments since he rarely got them growing up from his parents.

Very skilled with stringed instruments such as violins, guitars, cellos, etc.

He towers over most of the faculty at the academy since he's around 6'4.

Hassel is a super affectionate person and freely hugs students who asks him for one.

Aight three days until the epilogue now

I know furret is most likely the obvious answer but I thought gifting him another applin evolution would be fitting as well. Trading an apple for an apple or something as a gesture of rekindled friendship

SD30 - Delicious Flapple

Smaugust Day 30: Delicious [ 2023 ] A slight redesign of Flapple to make it look a bit cooler in my opinion. It's not my best work, but I like it all right. [Smaugust is an art challenge in August where one must draw one dragon a day.]
