#if you dressed like a fire type trainer and then whip out all bugs

Note
as a kid i had grand dreams about being a ghost or electric gym leader, but over the years i ended up mainly catching bug types! funnily enough, my main team is just all spider-like pokemon (ariados, galvantula, araquanid, and spidops), so i'm kind of in a niche of a niche :D
Technically, we'd still call you a Bug Catcher, maybe even a specific trainer like "Spider Master" or Arachnid Fan" Those are some popular names.
The more specialized trainers we all have subtle nicknames for.
The worst are the shiny hunters or, as we call them, "Prospectors"
If you feel drawn to Spider like pokemon, then kudos to you because there's a lot of people who can't stand being around them, and they have a negative stigma still.
If you're really passionate, I bet you could bring new light to those multi-legged friends.
Also, you have a slight battle advantage against people who don't like them.

Dr. Taurus's Evil Team Work Pitch!!
[A video is attatched to this post. A man in extravagant villain dress is fiddling with the camera.]
"AHA, YES, IT'S ON! I am DOCTOR TAURUS, the most fearsome dairy chef in all the regions, and this is my work pitch!"
[Dr. Taurus paces like a military general, hands behind his back while monologuing.]
"You see, this devilish man has studied the ways of Pokemon, their origins, their secrets! And now, all the powers of creation are in his hands!"
[He steps back and raises his hands. He then looks around, like he gave a cue that was missed.]
"AHEM!"
[Rare and powerful Pokemon rush in from the sides: a Celebi, Buzzswole, Phermosa and Victini, along with a Marshadow who slides in to the front along with Taurus's large figure. The two bug-type ultra beasts flex while the fairy-like mythicals strile poses, the Marshadow mimicking its trainer's proud posture.]
Tumblr media
"GYAHAHA!! That's right, I mimicked all these great and terrible beasts to fight by my side, and if any criminals out there take in MY services, they will SURELY-"
[The Buzzswole, with an unusually polite posture, taps on Dr. Taurus's shoulder. The apparently-talking Pokemon has a deep voice.]
"Hey, Doctor? Didn't wanna interrupt, but Cream thinks he left some milk on the stove..."
"Shh! You're not Cream right now, you're- WHAT!?!?"
[Dr. Taurus scampers off as the fire alarm sounds off. Bits of smoke roll in.]
"GAH, OH ARC OH GIRA, IT'S GONNA TAKE AGES TO FIX THIS THING- EEEEYAH!! IT WANTS TO ROAST ME ALIVE!!"
[The team members cough and their bodies warble, then they all shake off their guises made of different dairy oddities, revealing their more... diminutive true appearances. A fire extinguisher is heard before Dr. Taurus returns, also having dropped a guise. He closes in to the camera, not seeming to have noticed the change around him and in his own outfit.]
Tumblr media
"Aha! Ah yeah, cower before my horrific creations and all that! While we're looking for new schemers to serve and all, eh, we take food commissions! So, uh..."
[He wipes some whipped cream off his cheek, then looks back at his team. The Flapple pipes up.]
"Sorry doctuh. Didn't wanna burst your bubble, it was just getting stuffy and all..."
[He silently looks back at the camera again. he scratches his head.]
"...Okay, first of all that's a SHINY ANTIQUE right there! So, you oughta still... ah, to Dist with it! How do I end this thing..."
[He awkwardly ends the video]

Pokemon Moon Namelocke Episode 4: Getting Schooled
Current Party:
Capricorn the shiny Skiddo - level 20
Kyuubi the Vulpix - level 19
Patrick the Panpour - level 18
POOPERMAN the Farfetch’d - level 20
- - - - -
There wasn’t much to get excited about after having to sacrifice two of my friends (babies that I caught btw) in order to beat the fighting Trial, but I can be happy about all the new mons I’m adding to this game having done pretty well in Wonder Trades the past week.
Tumblr media
(Even while updating this I’ve added yet another box so hopefully there will be more variety in what I draw after my first encounters)
There is even a few shinies in there and some great breedjects with egg moves so here is hoping they’ll be able to help me out in the game.
The positive feelings, however, that came with organizing these scores didn’t last long.
Remember how I said I was going to grind up Richie the Meowth to use in my party since I’ve never used Alonan Meowth before?
Tumblr media
Nvm.  What kind of a cat gets killed by a bird?  WILL NOT BE MISSED.
Anyway on to the next island!  A fresh start... filled with adventure.... friends... laughter.... love.... and irrelevant cameos.
Tumblr media
Dexio you better be honored I even remember who you are, and the only reason I do is because I recently played X.  Glad to see you’ve gone from a Man Child wearing super hero outfits to dressing like a fuck boy now.  Anyway yay Zygrade..... :( who cares..... I’m glad there never was a Pokemon Z tbh rather they just keep pushing forward to new versions instead of reworking a game that was already decent.
Anyway after doing the usual NPC sweep to see if anyone had anything for me it was time to head to the first route of the new island.... and lo and behold.
Tumblr media
A quirky little bed bug.  First encounter of the island I’m excited to see what I’ll get.
Tumblr media
So the point of this Locke is to love all Pokemon despite what they are and what nicknames that were forced upon them.  Remember these poor Pokemon didn’t have a choice and it’s up to me to love them no matter, but I wasn’t excited about this.  1. What do I even call it?  2. It’s an Illumise enough said.
I settled on just calling her... or they.... misgendered, because I don’t know what the nickname implies, and to tell you the truth Misgendered has surprised me.  
Meanwhile back at the ranch wanna be me Mr. Hau decided to engage in battle and my newest party member held it’s own against both Pikachu and Spheal wanna be with no issues at all, and that’s surprising because I really didn’t put much effort into leveling this beautiful fluid gendered bug.  Also it’s moves are pretty good to be a staller early battle.  Infestation, Moon Light, struggle bug, and probably going to throw a screen up there later it’s actually pretty tanky.
Too be honest Kyuubi is getting a bit jealous.  It use to be my star battle finisher and she didn’t even get to come out.  Needless to say she would not be amused if ten thousand lightning bugs taught her how to dance.
On to the wild grass around the ranch for the next encounter after I battled an angry bull.  Please Taurus you’re nothing compared to Capricorn.  Your star sign isn’t even compatible to his.
In honor of that whole exchange I knew what to nickname my first encounter of the area.
Tumblr media
Whatever Mistress Moo I doubt you’re that lonely..... not with them titties.... I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends in this box.  Let’s see who your replacement is.
Tumblr media
Oh boy another Meowth.  This one’s name is Kitten.... and I can’t let the past get to me.... so welcome to the party Kitten.  I’ll try not to kill you so I can see what all the hype about dark Persian is (though if it dies I’m sure there are more Meowth in this PC waiting for me)
He’ll, however, have to sit in the box for a minute as I made sure to grab that Eevee egg to use as a gift encounter to pick up one of those lovely level 1′s out of my box later.
No encounters for Route 5, however, because I one shotted the mon I came across.  Thanks a lot Patrick <.<  
Speaking of Patrick though I taught him hidden power fighting since I don’t have a fighting type and his special isn’t too terrible.
Trainers weren’t really an issue except the two that had the birds.  There was a bit of a heal struggle as Kyuubi tried out her will-o-wisp to widdle them down.... I really don’t have much that resists flying that much.
Now on to Gladion.... I don’t know why he is picking a fight with me.  I am a Gladion fan tbh.  I don’t know what it is, because he has a good story.... not the best though, but I think it might be because I really like his hoodie.  It looks nice and warm.
Type: Null go the Kyuubi Will-O-Wisp treatment.  Was a long fight, but still a victory.
Time to start the water Trial.  I have no time for the captain’s humor.... I have pokemans to catch.  
My egg hatched on this route.  I lv. 1 Eevee that I named Prism.  One of my over used names for Eevee’s since I really like that Pink Floyd art of eevee breaking off into it’s different forms.
Tumblr media
When it came to the level 1′s in the Brave box there was only two options.  Both fire types.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both of these I like.  I got the Floof from a friend in Wonder Trade, and Not Shiny is just funny and Charizard is one of my favorite pokes.  Both of them would be great potential replacements for Kyuubi if something horrible happens to her.  
As per usual since they are both the same level I had to do a random.org and got Floofmeister the Growlithe who will have to hang out in the PC since I already got fire covered.
Also right after I hatched the Eevee I caught a Poliwag.
Tumblr media
I kind of blanked on a name so I called her Mesmorize.... and her replacement from the Docile box is....
Tumblr media
Just B the Delibird.  Would be a great back up if something happened to Pooperman for ice is always lovely, but really just not the mood to level Poor B up at the moment.  So box it is.
Now with that out of the way time to take on the water Trial.
No issues.  None at all... well cept one.  Worry Seed does not make schooling go away.  Science has been accomplished here... all it does is say ‘failed’.  The battle was kind of long, because I played like a legit pussy and used the power of both infestation from misgender’d and then leech seed from Capricorns before vine whipping it out.... and the captain’s stupid sense of humor out of my life.
Yay Waterium Z..... Patrick you can have it.  Proud of you little buddy for learning scald.  
Soon it will be your time to rise above the rest or fail.
Tumblr media
Let’s end the episode on a low note, however....
Now that I can surf I went back to Hau’oli.... this time to the beach front since that’s an area I haven’t obtained a Pokemon from.  I caught a Finneon and named it rainmaker.... and in exchange for it I got a....
Tumblr media
Like I said I did a lot of Wonder Trading for this project before SUMO came out. So this was bound to happen.  Get in the box Zigg5.
