Spooky Mulder's UFO Club (5)

After losing a bet, Scully is forced to join Spooky Mulder’s UFO Club. (actually it’s called The Study of Unexplained Phenomena Project, and it’s a class not a club, but whatever) Ridiculed throughout the school by students and staff alike, Scully wants to get it over with as soon as she can and come “back down to earth” when a class trip up to Alaska, to do their own investigations into the mysterious deaths of four hikers, finds them stranded with an unknown virus wreaking havoc and a woods that becomes its own entity at night, Scully realises this dumb little class packs a lot more horror than she bargained for.

It'll be some time before the next chapter is posted, I want to write a couple more before then. For the time being, enjoy what is probably my favourite chapter so far.

Chapter Four | AO3 | @today-in-fic

Chapter Five: Can't Help Falling In Love.

With a row all to himself on the plane, Mulder chucks his carryon bag onto the floor, splays out across the seats with his feet up, headphones on, content to just chill out for the next eight hours.

At first, nothing else really exists around him. There’s some general chattering around him that he catches just under the blare of his music, Harrison exclaiming to Reyes, and everyone else nearby, how she’s never been on a plane before and the woman behind him bitching about a co-worker to her flying partner. Everything else is just white noise as he battles a Ratatta on his Gameboy. Throwing a Pokeball at it gives him a moment to look around and his eyes land on Scully in the seat opposite him; stiff as a board, hands clutching tightly around the armrests, her eyes closed as she seems to be making an effort to slowly breath in and out. Concerned, he places his Gameboy on the tray table and tugs off his headphones. A glance at Ethan tells Mulder that the other boy was seemingly asleep, sagged against the window, eyes shut. He leans over gently patting Scully’s arm.

“You good?” Mulder asks when Scully reopens her own eyes.

“Fine,” she answers curtly. Mulder cocks his head to the side. Scully glances around, making sure nobody is in earshot as she leans in closer. “Okay, don’t tell anyone but I am terrified of flying.”

Mulder smiles sympathetically.

“You’re laughing at me…” Scully says with a pout.

“I’m not, really,” assures Mulder. He takes another look at Ethan. “Is he really asleep?”

Scully looks herself. “I think so.”

Mulder shuffles back over to his seat. “Come here, before we take off.”

Hastily unbuckling her seatbelt, Scully moves herself and her bag into the seat next to Mulder. As she refastens the seatbelt, he grabs his Gameboy off the tray and angles it so they can both see it.

“You know what this is right?” Mulder asks.

His questions earns him a punch in the arm and a look.

“Yes, I know what a Gameboy is. My younger brother has one.”

“Right.” The Ratatta caught, Mulder continues on with his task through a forest.

“What are you playing?” Scully asks.

“Pokemon,” Mulder answers with a smile.

The plane rumbles to life, getting ready to speed down the runway. Mulder keeps Scully’s attention on the game.

“You know how to play, right?”

Scully shakes her head.

“You go round battling and collecting these creatures called Pokemon. Some are based on our animals, some completely made up. You’re a trainer and you battle other trainers to win money so you can buy things like healing potions and powerups.”

The plane begins to gather speed as it ploughs down the runway, the momentum forcing them back. Scully’s attention is taken away from the game as the plane begins to lift up, she gasps, grasping the armrests and clinging on for dear life as her body grows tense.

“Hey,” Mulder says tapping her thigh and bringing her attention back to him. “It’s okay.” He takes his headphones and slips them over her head. He presses play on his Walkman and hears the faint tune of Elvis’ voice as he sings I Can’t Help Falling In Love. Scully smiles, more at ease as the plane starts to even out, and Mulder smiles back, happy his efforts have worked. The game still positioned so the two of them can see, he wanders about the forest collecting and battling as Scully watches on, asking questions. An hour into the flight, he passes the Gameboy to Scully, giving her a turn. She makes two Pokemons she attempted to catch faint and loses all the battles but she’s enjoying herself, that’s all that matters. They share snacks, listen to his War of the World’s tape as they eat dinner, and Mulder winds her up with some bizarre theory as he intended to. All in all, it’s a great flight, one made even better when, halfway through, Scully falls asleep, her head falling onto his shoulder. Mulder stares, awestruck for what feels like a long time before a huge smile whips across his face. He slips his headphones on, turning out towards the window, I Can’t Help Falling In Love playing into his ears.

Mulder blinks a couple of times, coming to. His eyes take a moment to adjust to the bright light coming through the window. He runs a hand over his face, jostling something next to him.

Scully. She makes a disturbed noise, shifting in her sleep in her seat, her head still against his shoulder as she gets comfortable once more.

The plane steadily drops down and Mulder looks out to see the small specs of civilisation below him.

“We’ll be landing soon,” Skinner says as he makes his way past Mulder’s seat. Mulder nods and turns to Scully, gently tapping her awake.

“Hey Scully,” he whispers. She makes a sound, awakening. “Skin-Man says we’re landing soon.”

“Uh-hmm…”

Mulder smiles. “That means you gotta awake up.”

Her eyes open, big and blue and still glazed over with sleep. She looks beautiful and Mulder looks away before he does something he’ll regret.

“Where are my glasses?” Scully asks, frowning and sitting up. She stretches as Mulder reaches forward into the basket where he’d tucked her glasses safely away earlier and hands them to her.

She takes them, thanking him, and puts them on.

“Can you see much without them?” he asks.

She nods. “But I get headaches if I don’t wear them so…” She shrugs.

It’s Mulder’s turn to nod. “I’m supposed to wear reading glasses but I don’t.” He looks away like she’s going to berate him. She doesn’t. Instead she just smiles.

“And that’s why you get headaches,” she says tapping his nose.

“Wake up, Minette,” says Skinner, not so gently tapping the boy on the arm. “We’re landing.”

Ethan startles awake, wiping the sleep away from his face and sitting up. He looks to the side of him, to where Scully should be sitting. Instead, his eyes catch to where she actually sits, next to Mulder and while Ethan can’t see her expression with her back to him, he can definitely see Mulder’s- grinning ear to ear like it’s his fucking birthday. Ethan leans back, watching them through veiled anger, seething at the sight.

“All passengers to fasten their seatbelt as we prepare for landing,” the pilot’s voice rings through the speakers.

Mulder fastens his seatbelt and looks to Scully, her expression one of anxiety again.

“You good, Scully?” he asks.

“Could I listen to your music again?”

“Of course.” As he’d done during take-off, he slips the headphones over her head again. The plane jostles slightly as it moves down. He feels her hand slip into his. Mulder looks down, seeing their hands and gives hers a reassuring squeeze as the plane fully begins its descent downwards.

I've come to grips with the fact that, if I were a Pokémon trainer, my "class" would be hiker/backpacker. Not only do I tend to prefer Ground and Rock types, my actual dog would be a Rockruff.

Just give her extra floof around the neck and on tail and it's a match. Especially with the folded ears and love of mountain trails.

(@teamgardeners) Greetings. I must say, I'm very curious about these Rangers of the human word. What exactly do you do? -Virizion

Rangers are a pretty diverse class of trainers but we play a very important role in our communities. At our core, rangers strive to protect our ecosystems, pokémon, and the people who travel our routes.

On a smaller scale we keep our routes clean and easy to traverse. We guide people, offer battles, and keep an eye out for people who seek to harm pokemon. We work with our local communities to make sure that everyone is safe and living at peace with one another.

Whenever we find pokémon who have been injured, we treat them and take them to the proper rehabilitation centers if they need it. We assist the professors in their research and filling out the dex. When a stronger Pokémon wanders from their territory they can often become a danger to nearby communities as well as themselves. It’s up to us to soothe these pokemon and relocate them to someplace safe.

And on a larger scale, we are some of the only people who can help when disasters strike. Not only cleaning up after storms and other natural disasters- but people who pose a threat to our region as a whole. We help organize evacuations and keep people and pokemon safe during times of crisis. It’s our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

I’ve broken up illegal breeding operations, detained poachers, and busted countless underground fight rings. I’ve guarded eggs, updated Pokédex entries, and delivered countless lost hikers home. I was at the front lines when Team Plasma attempted to overthrow the league and pillaged our cities. And I was there when they returned and froze a chunk of the region.

I became a ranger because I wanted to protect this world that I love so much <3

#pokeblogging #pokemon irl #pkmn irl #pokeblr #pokemon roleplay #pokeblog #pokeblog rp #crow.ask #crow.txt #[ooc] my headcanons for rangers aren’t entirely like the ranger series games #it’s a bit of a mix of the core games with a dash of the ranger series doused in a lot of headcanon #very much flavored to taste- I like leaning into the park ranger aspect more personally and the focus on protecting nature

[drawingwithdonnie]

my favorite trainer class is hiker because they radiate security. Like look at this guy

I trust this man with my life. he is happy. his hat is cool. he has a vest. his encounter theme is my favorite one. he's from rse bc that's my favorite but all of them 1-7 are good. and for SEVEN GENERATIONS hikers looked like this!! seven!!!!!! They were perfect.

but this fucker.

fuck you and your stupid hat THIS IS A SURFER DUDE. why is he like that. Where are my old and good hikers I miss them bring them back PLEASE!! I MISS MY GUYS COME ON. This is literally the only thing in the entirety of the alola games that I do not like bc,,,,, why is he like that,,,,,,,,,, at least the galar ones (while also Not Good) have nice goggles so props to them but Nintendo. Gamefreak. Please bring back the friend shaped hikers I'm begging you

#this entire post is made mostly in good fun please dont think I'm genuinely angry I'm just. #so sad that the hikers have lost a lot of very likeable qualities imo #Pokemon #shitpost #textpost #my post #also my target audience with my original textposts is myself so idc about reach on this one lmao #zel post

[s2pdoktopus]

It's messy XD I've been into Vocaloid again, specifically Gumi and Teto and I'm also into Pokemon (the Miku x Pokemon Collab is godsent :)) so I kinda just wound up making this messy sketch.

Teto gets Excadrill (because of course she gets a drill pokemon) I'm thinking she's gonna be a Worker or a Hiker Trainer class

Gumi gets Flygon (I know that it's Ground Type Miku's already but THE GOGGLES!!) And she's gonna be an Ace Trainer or an Athlete Trainer class.

Where to go for National Wellness Month in August and beyond

August is National Wellness Month, and while stress can be unavoidable daily, there are many ways to help manage it. Here are a few experiences from hotels and resorts around the world that focus on wellness ideal in August and for years to come. Exercise in Nature: Ditch the indoor gym Las Catalinas, Costa Rica Numerous studies have shown that exercise and time in the outdoors reduce stress, improve memory and attention, and promote feelings of calm. Exercise boosts endorphins, which can reduce stress hormones and alleviate mild depression. Exercise in the great outdoors is beneficial for many reasons. With its ideal setting in a tropical dry forest bordering the Pacific Ocean, Las Catalinas in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, offers many wellness pursuits. CORE by ChakFitness is a unique outdoor gym on the beach (adjacent to Pura Vida Ride); it provides a beautifully designed Flinstones-Esque strength-building experience. The weights and machines are made almost entirely of wood. Renowned owner and longtime Miami trainer Chakiris Menafacio run the classes. The Center of Joy is a new wellness retreat center with various stunning spaces in the heart of Beach Town, offering regular yoga classes, sound baths, and more, all focusing on mindfulness. Many individuals and organizations use this remarkable space for larger group retreats, though residents and guests benefit from its ongoing programming and rotating offerings. Guest can book private rooms for special therapies and services as well. There is a wide range of fantastic accommodation options in town at the boutique Santarena Hotel or any of their villa offerings at Beach Town Travel. Las Catalinas has an exciting array of activities for all ability levels, an outdoor paradise for hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, yogis, and water enthusiasts. With over 26 miles of world-class, single-track trails that feature stunning views of the coastline and valley vistas, Las Catalinas is the most prominent mountain biking destination in the American tropics. All hiking and running trails feature spectacular viewpoints and opportunities to glimpse some of the area's fantastic local wildlife, including monkeys, peccaries, and coatis, not to mention a wide variety of exotic birds. Trails vary in difficulty and length, from high-intensity hills to low-impact flatter tracks. The town has two of the best beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Sheltered just enough from the southern swell, Las Catalinas is a haven for water sports enthusiasts. Consistent moderate waves make it ideal for body surfing, boogie boarding, standup paddle-boarding, and sea kayaking. For more information, visit www.lascatalinascr.com. Calabash Cove Resort and Spa, Saint Lucia Ocean Therapy: Head to the beach It's known that there are numerous health and psychological benefits to being close to the ocean. For more than just beautiful ocean views and vistas, travelers continue to choose trips and vacations that bring them up close and personal with the sea. With the feeling of salt water on the skin, the smell of the ocean in the air, and the soothing sound of the waves lapping in the distance, the sea is not only meditative but also reduces stress and allows for self-reflection and discovery. Where beachfront means RIGHT THERE, Calabash Cove Resort and Spa is one of the most popular all-inclusive, adults-only boutique hotels in Saint Lucia, a Caribbean gem is offering seclusion, beauty, and mesmerizing views at every turn. Its 26 villas feature old Caribbean charm coupled with the luxurious resort amenities of today. From the heavenly Windsong restaurant and lively C-Bar overlooking the infinity pool to the peaceful Ti Spa, guests have everything at their fingertips when vacationing at Calabash Cove. Ti Spa offers a wide range of treatments that combine European techniques with St. Lucia's storied tradition of using plant- and food-based ingredients. Treatments are expertly designed to cleanse the body of stress, rejuvenate the spirit, and relax the mind. The exfoliation products are all organic and made from local products that are, in some cases, directly from the resort. Their therapists will be happy to demonstrate the different benefits between a coffee or papaya scrub and more. Try their signature Spa Sampler (80 minutes/$140USD), a blend of holistic spa treatments fused to create the ultimate spa experience. Melt away the stress and tension from the back with a hot stone massage, followed by a deep tissue massage on the back of the legs. Swedish massage techniques are used on the front of the body with a mix of counter stretching. Aromatherapy facial massage is then performed to rebalance and induce even more profound relaxation, and we end this blissful experience with a revitalizing foot scrub. The resort's outdoor pavilion is perched on a hill overlooking the ocean and is the perfect spot for a spa treatment while listening to the waves below.

every so often i get Possessed by the urge to draw my OCs with pokemon teams.

bonus: luther’s team would absolutely whoop cam’s team’s ass which i love so:

#art #g/t #giant tiny #cam and luther #pokemon au #cam kind of fits in the hiker trainer class so i mooshed a bunch of their looks together for his outfit #i love g/t with pokemon... very niche but very good

[pokemon-npcs]

#amazing #pokemon npcs #trainer class: hiker #hgss #johto #....I feel like this is another npc that is gonna be on my mind for a long time

[feroluce]

Is it true that people used to like blankshipping, but were so in denial about it that they claimed they weren’t twins or even brothers? Just two guys that look identical for [reasons]?

Oh hey now, no meanness, especially towards other shippers, allowed here. There's nothing wrong with changing a ship because part of it squicks you.

It's been probably over a decade since I played BW, and even then I didn't really bother with the battle subway a lot. So I don't really have a firsthand account or anything. But from what I understand there wasn't any indication that they were brothers, or even related in the original games. Having two characters look alike, especially when they share a role like that, isn't too uncommon a trope I don't think. And Pokemon is a series where trainer classes all look the same. All the hikers, youngsters, lasses, etc. I feel like it was perfectly reasonable to have hcs other than Ingo and Emmet being twins.

Even now they HAVE been confirmed brothers, it's still totally fine to make content where they aren't related btw. It's called transformative works for a reason! We have the term Alternate Universe just for changing things! Who's going to tell you not to? The pokemon company? Do whatever you want, man. Fandom is your sandbox. Live your best shippy life.

#fandom is for fun my dude not for being canon compliant #if it were all canon compliant we wouldnt have all these nice hurt/comfort submas reunions #i have some ships that I absolutely ADORE as eventual qpr but they squick when they're romantic #and part of the reason I don't write them much is because there is a very strange section of proshippers #who are like weirdly condescending of fellow shippers who don't like extreme content or who make things platonic #there is totally freedom and enlightenment in being as nasty as you want #but not in making OTHER people be as nasty as you want #like you guys cmon #we're all fucking weirdos here #ask #answer #anon

[hexalianrebel-blackfeathers]

I'm bored, who wants a Fakemon? (Monkiddo Line)

I'll take resounding silence as a yes. >w<

I actually got this idea from a dream I had during a nap. It was just the name and physical concept for the first final evolution, but I expanded it. Plus, an idea for a region/game where the dex is all Ghost types, but that's a different thing. Here I go!

This line is based on monkeys, if the name didn't give it away. >w<

Monkiddo, the Amnesiac Pokemon: (Ghost)

This Pokemon sometimes appears when a mortal has died suddenly nearby. It remembers nothing from its previous life, so it tends to mimic others around it until it finds an activity it finds familiar. Evolves at Lvl 15; its evolved form is based on its Nature.

Monkisi, the Anamnesis Pokemon: (Ghost/--)

1. As Monkiddo begin to remember their pasts, they tend to begin showing those previous traits and skills. However, some also tend to become more aggressive and standoffish, as if some of their memories were better left lost...

2. Monkiddo evolve when they start to remember pieces of their previous identity. Staring into their glowing eyes for too long can give you memories that aren't yours. Not all of them are nice.

((The missing second type can be filled in depending on the form Monkisi takes. I admit I haven't decided on the pool of "memories", but it does include the Hiker Trainer Class, which turns Monkisi into a Ghost/Rock type.))

Evolves at Lvl 30

Macasque: (Ghost/--)

Standard Form: Monkisi will eventually construct a mask that resembles its original face; putting this mask on causes their final evolution. With their memories fully restored, their skills increase exponentially in and out of battle, and they begin to seek new skills. They are also very grateful and loyal to the trainer who raised them and usually disobey strangers. They are prone to emotional episodes, usually from feeling sad or frustrated at their sudden death.

Vengeful Form: Monkisi will eventually construct a mask that resembles its original face; putting this mask on causes their final evolution. With their memories fully restored, they remember how they lost their life and fly into a rage. They rip through opponents put in front of them, seeking revenge on the one who killed them. They are kind to their friends and trainer and try to be gentle with them, but their episodes of anger are more violent than others until their vengeance is taken.

((All of Monkisi's forms have a chance to evolve into Standard or Vengeful form, I honestly haven't decided what value where determines this. They keep the typing of whichever form they evolve from))

If you or someone you know is a heartless monster that manages to Evolve Monkisi with 0 Friendship, you may be entitled to:

Macasquet, The Pallbearer Pokémon: (Ghost/--)

Lamenting Form: The life it remembers is much better than the one it lives now. Driven to a deep depression by an unkind world, it has built a coffin around itself and refuses to come out. Found in the wild, no longer learns physical attacks.

Haunting Form: The life it remembers is irrelevant. It looks on its unkind trainer with hateful eyes. It has built a box with the intent to trap them in it forever. Has a high chance to disobey commands. If traded away, it transforms into Sated Form, but it will transform back if it returns to its original trainer.

Sated Form: This Pokemon is calm and kindhearted but keeps to itself; It seems to find comfort in looking after others and sharing its skills. It carries a heavy box with it that emits a terrible smell, and it gets angry if anyone attempts to open it.

((Again, all of Monkisi's forms affect Macasquet's appearance and type in all three forms. I kind of want to think of a way to bring the Lamenting Form out of its box, but I admit I haven't got any ideas yet.))

Thanx for reading! Panda loves you!

CATS Pokemon AU

Made with help from @roxycake and @whitmerule

This is. Definitely not set within any proper game continuity. I’m picking and choosing my favorite aspects from the mainline games regardless of region. Technically, this is located in Galar, but it uses traditional gym challenge-Elite 4 format, and trainer classes that don’t appear in gen VIII, along with a different set of gym leader types. Also, contests and battle subways are here bc those were the shit.

**While I had help w/ categorizing characters and their types, I have headcanons that differ from those of the ppl who helped give input. I’m gonna try and not define relationships in this post, but if I do more with this, then I’m working with my own headcanons/ships/etc. If anyone wants to do anything with this that differs, go ahead!

Main 3 trainers+their partner pokemon:

Jemima-Fletchling

A cyclist-class trainer

Electra-Toxel

A dancer-class trainer

George-Tyrogue

A young, hiker-class trainer

Gym Leaders:

Etcetera-Bug

A friend of the main 3; she invites them to her gym as their first challenge. She was probably holding back during the gym battles with the 3, but don’t tell anyone.

Jennyanydots-Normal

A matronly but stern, disciplined trainer who has held her title for decades. She runs the gym next door to the pokemon school, and offers the students free time to practice and train with their pokemon.

Plato-Ground

A talented trainer who all the same doesn’t like his position as a trainer of ground types. He takes his loss as an excuse to begin training in Etcetera’s gym.

Pouncival-Flying

Another young gym leader. the trio first met him while taking a flying taxi between towns, as he’s also a cabbie. He’s got an unsinkable personality, and appears deceptively oblivious. He knows his way around flying-type pokemon, and he’s not one to overlook.

Rum Tum Tugger-Electric

A dazzling and maybe slightly overconfident leader who’s one of the newest to his title. He’s also well known in the Contest World, as he got his real start as a wildly successful coordinator. There’s his pikachu, too. People are obsessed with his pikachu.

Victoria-Ice

A figure skater as well as a gym leader. Her gym is sleek and elegant; balance and dexterity are musts to even reach her spot. Don’t be fooled by her gym’s cold presentation, though; if there were ever a trainer more excited than Pouncival to experience a wide variety of challengers, it’s her.

Coricopat and Tantomile-Psychic

Better be ready to see double. Sometimes they move in sync, mirroring each other’s attacks perfectly; other times, they’ll wipe you off your feet by acting beyond prediction. Can they really see your next move? Have they simply been doing this too long to be surprised? Yes.

Mistoffelees-Fairy

Are you put off by people who simultaneously view you as inferior while also lacking proper self confidence of their own? Good luck making it through a battle against Mistoffelees. A highly capable trainer, he’s still a bit uncomfortable with his position as gym leader. Most people wouldn’t pick up on this though, as he makes quick work of them.

Elite 4:

Bombalurina-Fire

A passionate and ruthless trainer, Bomba has dedicated her life to cultivating a team that’s always ready to win.

Alonzo- Water

A laid-back, casual, young researcher more interested in swimming and surfing than paperwork. He’ll disarm you with his sweet-talk and inviting demeanour, then hit you like a tidal wave.

Cassandra-Dragon

An elegant, intimidating force to be reckoned with, her battle style mixes beauty with ferocity. Don’t worry about being tricked into security, if you feel at all on her level, you’re likely over-confident.

Demeter-Poison

A former member of Team Enigma and a steadfast ally to the main trio. She gave Electra her Toxel when it was just an egg, and has an Amped Toxtricity as her own partner. Demeter is a genuinely kind soul. Her drive to empower young trainers has kept her in The Elite 4 for some time, and she doesn’t plan on giving that up any time soon. She won’t hold back in battle, but she does, notably, avoid status-changing attacks.

Champion

Munkustrap

Smart, kind, powerful, and stressed, Munkustrap has been a familiar face to the trio, much like Demeter. He’s honestly eager to be usurped, ready to step back and re-evaluate his goals in life.

Former Elites/Champion:

Director Gus-Dragon/Rock

Former member of the Elite Four, he has returned to his true passion of theatre, owning and maintaining a space in Wyndon. He’s also a frequent judge at contests.

Grizabella-Steel

A former league champion, she has since retired to The Crown Tundra. In her time away from the league she has journeyed to multiple regions, and has many pokemon foreign to the Galar region.

Professor Deuteronomy-Grass

Former member of the Elite Four, he left the league after a few years, drawn instead to pokemon research. Understanding the root cause of type distinctions has become his life’s work. Of his recent experiments, he has been testing type determination in-egg through gene splicing and nesting conditions.

OTHERS

Skimbleshanks-Battle Metro Boss

Currently overseeing the Battle Metro, Skimble is under pressure to keep attendance up as people have begun migrating to other battle spots. Unlike other rail workers, he does not specialize in steel or ground types, instead holding a roster of largely Normal and flying pokemon.

Jellylorum-Pokemon breeder

You can find her in a quiet corner of Wyndon, nearby Director Gus’ theatre. She runs a daycare and a breeding center.

Tumblebrutus-Research Assisstant.

A friend of the main 3 and frequent conduit to Professor Deut. He checks in at irregular intervals.

Bustopher Jones-Gentleman

A jolly, round man who likes to frequent cafes, and take picnics on the countryside.

Team Enigma

Macavity-Dark/ghost

The leader of Team Enigma, Macavity is a criminal mastermind hellbent on stealing Deuteronomy’s research on type distinctions, and exploiting it for his own benefit. He has no particular worldwide aspirations beyond expanding his realm of influence, but while he’s no mere thug, that doesn’t mean he isn’t a brutal fighter.

Henchcats-Poison/Dark

The Henchcats are Enigma grunts. They’re easy enough to best once you’ve figured out their routine, but they always fight in pairs. Macavity expects many of his grunts to use poison types for their status-changing attacks.

Jerrie and Teazer-Poison

Notable grunts who seem to have reservations about their job. The two appear to genuinely enjoy battling the trio, and, unlike many grunts, seem to have connections beyond Team Enigma. 

Other Notes

Jellylorum, Jennyanydots, Skimbleshanks, and Bustopher Jones are all childhood friends, and are still in touch. They are currently raising 4 Skwovet siblings between them all.

Many gym leaders also work with Professor Deuteronomy to study type distinctions.

Personally, I see the main 3 (+Etcetera and Pounce) as middle/older teens; 15 at the youngest. If the player character in the games can wait until age 12 to even get a pokemon when there are preschoolers battling pokemon, these three can be older teens who decided one day that they wanna go on a journey across the region.

⚠️: suicidal thoughts

Phew, so I tried killing myself today ahaha 😅 yeah I’m not joking but laughter/ humor is a way I cope.

I haven’t been feeling great lately and I’ve been feeling so depressed. This was the first time ever that I decided to do this on a whim..? My past attempts were pretty planned out but luck was always on my side I guess so I always failed.

Today was particularly hard, just yesterday I was thinking about how grateful I was to be alive for almost twenty years since my birthday is next month. But my thoughts and emotions have been up and down like a rollercoaster lately. Maybe it’s the meds I’m on? I don’t know. I had a panic attack at exactly 2:48 am and another at work in my car during lunch. Immediately I said ‘that’s it.’ And I was going to ask my boss if I could leave because I wasn’t feeling good. I ended up not asking since my mom works with me and she’s a pain in the ass.

I waited out until work ended and I silently cried all day. My glasses cover my eyes and my face mask covers my whole face so nobody noticed. Work ended and I left on time. I explained to my mom that I wanted to go hiking since I began exercising a little more. She wanted me to take my sister and my sisters dog but my sister had her physical fitness class with her personal trainer and she couldn’t. I hiked for almost an hour and a half to a tall Rocky Mountain. The rocks looked so sharp on the way down looked so painful but I didn’t care I wanted to feel something. I was so close and I almost slipped. Death was waiting for me. Until a huge gust a wind pushed me back.

It was so hard I fell on my ass. The wind wouldn’t stop and it was ridiculously strong. I felt like my eyes opened a bit and I began sobbing. Some other hikers asked if I was okay or if I injured myself but I brushed them off as kindly as possible. I eventually stood up and took one last look at those rocks. I then turned and began walking away. I wasn’t listening to music or anything. I was just silent and in a trance. I don’t remember how I got on the freeway but I was on my way home. When I arrived I saw my sister, my rats, her dog, my mom. I smiled and acted as if just an hour ago didn’t happen. Crazy isn’t it?

So now this is failed attempt number 4
