Wynaut? Fire ahead fam~

I likes your Cal sprite~ though original Cal is also good (especially the hair). Me thinks you should keep Shelly's original pose, since her body language should indicate she's an introverted and shy person.

Newt is kinder than you thinks... but seriously I thought he was going to pull that stunt when he skipped #91 (even if he finished with #100, it'd have been 99 questions) but then he added #92.5 which I'm grateful for

Bro, Kash Idk if anyone has told you this but you should make strategies for Gym battles using the Field Effect read-outs (I saw you using hypnosis in Julia's electric field - it doesn't work because no mons can be put to sleep). Some attacks are also boosted in certain fields so using those moves can be helpful.

lucky you fam! But don't feel down if you don't get more for a while - think of statistics

Conspiracy detected but too many numbers so can't follow

Ooo my bad then the odds are against your favor fam

I think the shiny charm only works for wild encounters? Correct me if I'm wrong. It's possible to get a shiny type:null from the event tho. Keep hitting that soft reset!

Ooo It's because i don't want it to be too obvious, you know... and this time I felt it'd be too visible xD

Glad to be inspirational xD in my case, I upload the screenshots to imgur and copy paste the direct links. For videos I upload them to YouTube and paste the link look forward to reading your story~!

Tfw your sleep schedule is so abnormal that 1:30am is totally awake time. Sad.

You mean video-recorded battles? No because the ones I record are Gym and PULSE battles... but I broke tradition and recorded vs ECT aka Connal for ol' times sake

To explain the dark humor joke, Kiki's medicham was already in the lava so she could fetch Kiki's ashes from the lava

Heheh, I personally also liked Cal and Vanilla's interaction. Hope I'm doing ok at perserving their characterization when I add dialogue that didn't happen xD And dark humor huh? Well to answer the question, Kiki's medicham fetched the ashes, of course

From Everland to Reborn ~ Episode 23 Prepared for a filler chapter? No? Then don't sue when you read dis! Kiki’s desire had been to be cremated so her ashes could line the beaches that were most fond of her, much like the ashes from Pyrous mountain did. I knew Victoria was devastated by the loss of her mentor, as it had once been my own experience before I became the leader of the Defiance. King, as we called him to contrast with Everland’s official Queen, had struck a deal with me to allow me to join his gang and teach me his ways. We grew close in both character and opinion, so much so that I regarded him perhaps even higher than either of my birth parents, with whom I could never discuss the kind of region I wanted Everland to be. His was the first friend whose death I suffered, and it was the most difficult for me, even if the subsequent losses were far more tragic. After all, filling the shoes of someone who had grown up in the Underworld was no simple task for a young girl like me. As this was the case, I could perfectly estimate Victoria’s current state. However, I also knew that no words or expression of empathy would satiate that pain, which could only be healed through the dead coming back to life. It’s the curse of the living; for as long as we live, we will part ways with many acquaintances who leave this world for the realm of the reaper. Some will succumb to sorrow, but it is possible, like me, to anesthetize oneself to keep walking forward. Whether Victoria chooses one or the other alternative, only time will prove. Once Kiki’s funeral was over, Victoria called Cain and me to come to Kiki’s prior office. “As Vanilla knows, Kiki had chosen me to direct Apophyll Academy when, sooner or later, she passed away,” Victoria said slowly, taking her time not to start sobbing during her speech. “I really wished I could have traveled the Reborn region with you two… but alas, fate has dictated my path, and I will not refuse.” “You will make a great leader for the Academy,” I said. Victoria widened her eyes as though I had said something shocking, but did not clarify what had been so amazing. “Thank you, Vanilla,” was what she said instead. “I hope Cain and you beat the league on my behalf. I will be rooting for you both.” “You don’t have to mention it,” Cain said and tapped Victoria’s shoulder. “Though usually when I’m asked to beat something it’s a little more intimate~” Victoria slowly displaced Cain’s hand off her shoulder and just smiled. It was a blissful smile. “Before you go... Vanilla, as you have earned the HM, you can have it,” she talked as she passed me the wretched disk. “I wish I could give you the badge, but well, it’s invalid now so it would be pointless even if you had it.” I shrugged. “That means you need to battle Aya next, huh?” Cain said, is mood falling rapidly. “Fine~ I’ll give you the key. Actually, I’ll go open the gates to the wasteland for everyone, since I guess everyone will need to battle her for a poison badge right~” So we did. We said our final farewells to Victoria, who waved at us as we walked the beach toward Amaria’s boat. It seemed as though Cain’s inner feelings were correlated with the weather in mainland Reborn City, for the whole place, especially in South Obsidia Ward where the wasteland gates were located, was going through a storm. While we were in the boat, he looked at the waves from the window and he was silent even after disembarking, something that was quite uncharacteristic of him. When we were finally in front of the closed gates, he turned around and widened his eyes. “Look at your hair,” e commented, and I ran a hand over my hair. My palm was dyed in pink. “I guess the color’s coming off because of the rain,” I said. “That’s too bad. I liked that color on you~” Cain winked, and I sighed. “Open the wasteland gates, will you?” Just then, something moved from the corner of my eye, and I took a defensive stance thinking it might be a threat. Turns out that was necessary, but not for that reason. “Hi,” he said as he approached me. I honestly didn’t know what the proper way of reacting was, so I just went with the way I felt like going with. “Awh,” Cal cried out, as he fell to the floor, his right hand pressed against his right cheek. He didn't dare look up at me, so his hair hid most of his face from my view. “... Don’t apologize. I deserve this.” “I wasn’t going to apologize, and yes, you deserve it,” I said, shaking my hand to ease the pain and relax my fingers’ muscles. “I heard you were headed here, so I waited for you,” the redhead continued as he picked himself off the floor. “I wanted to talk to you.” I batted my eyes, looked around me and then backwards at Cain, who shrugged at me. “Why out of all people me? Shouldn’t you be asking Victoria for forgiveness?” “Both you and I know that she isn’t going to listen to a word I say,” he explained. “But I know you will, because you’re a third party.” “I thought you were a dumbass for joining Team Meteor only to fail at everything,” I said, bluntly referring to how his actions ultimately caused medicham and Kiki’s deaths, and also how instead of sticking to one side, he also ended up blowing up Team Meteor’s plans. “But I hear you still have some sense in you. For that, I’ll give you one minute of my time.” “I won’t waste the minute. I wanted to explain to you that I had never intended for Apophyll’s destruction nor Kiki’s death. Actually, I had already sabotaged the PULSE when I set it up, so it was never going to work as Team Meteor intended.” “Interesting excuse,” I admitted. “And you pretend for me to believe that?” “No. But at least I wanted to try.” I stared into Cal’s eyes, to see if he would tremble or do something that could give me the impression that he was lying. Fortunately for him, all I found was depression. “I am no God to read your thoughts,” I said. “However, I have no reason to disbelieve you. Don’t expect me to fight for your innocence against Victoria though, for I sincerely don’t care about a stranger like you.” Cal acted as though he already expected me to say exactly that. “I won’t,” he said. “Good luck on your journey.” He turned his back to me, but on second thought, he looked at me once more. “Don't take this as an offense, for it's honest advice.” “What is it?” “You shouldn't dye your hair with spray paint,” he said. The troubled youth ran away in the direction of Obsidia, leaving me behind with burning rage. “Took a liking to your friend’s ex-crush~?” Cain asked. “Do you want me to give you a new facelift too?” I replied, raising my fist. “Please don’t. I was only kidding~ I know you only have eyes for me, gorgeous,” e said, and I don’t know what stopped me from blowing his teeth out, because desire wasn’t what I lacked. With a smile too wide for my taste, Cain complied with my initial request and opened the gates, but didn’t let me through quite yet. “Before you go,” e said. “What about one friendly battle?” “I’m game for any battle,” I muttered. The first pokemon Cain sent out was an a-marowak, but the poor thing didn’t last long on the battlefield since Prince one-shotted it with Earth Power. Against is meowstic, I sent out Cinderella, but I didn’t count on the little bipedal cat to have a Shadow Ball under its sleeve. Cinderella didn’t do as much damage as I expected her to with Shadow Sneak either, so I switched her out with Anna. During that switch, though, meowstic set up a Light Screen, which allowed it to live through a Will-O-Wisp + Hex combination. Luckily, the rain mixed with Anna’s drought again helped me out since the rainbow field weakened Shadow Ball. Thinking it would be great experience for Elsa, I switched her out when I thought the burn would take out the silly cat, but unfortunately I miscalculated and Elsa fainted to a Shadow Ball the same turn that meowstic fainted. I have to work on my reading skills, I noted to myself, as I sent out Prince against Cain’s nidoking. Prince’s defenses were pretty solid as it tanked nidoking’s attacks, and he eventually took care of the purple monster with two Earth Powers. Then, out came Cain’s primarina. For the water type, I sent out Cinderella’s grass type. The pumpkin lady was able to redeem herself by fainting the seal with two turns of Bullet Seeds. The last pokemon was a-muk, but it also couldn’t tank more than two Rock Slides from Wolfie. “Just when I think I’m getting stronger, you surprise me with even more strength,” Cain sighed. “You know I’m your number 1 fan~” “Ugh, stop it now and let me through.” “You’re a party pooper, you know that? We could have so much fun together~,” e said, but cleared what he meant when he saw my murderous eyes. “I mean, we could hang around having fun~ but you want to go meet the boring Aya.” “Wasn’t it your wish to save the children?” “That’s true. You always know the best words~ Fine, I think I've stalled you long enough as it is,” Cain moved away from the gates. “Come meet me down in the railnet once you’re done with your Gym battle, ‘kay~?” I didn’t reply, and passed the gates instead.

My tip for bettering yourself is: catch yourself being a douche, then don't be a douche. Simple mafs 10/10 will make everyone a better person

1. Why physics? 2. Favorite Unown? 3. Favorite pokemon waifu? 4. Favorite food? 5. Beans or candy? 6. Favorite Reborn character? 7. Favorite From Everland to Reborn episode? 8. Why is physical biochemistry a required course for my major T_T send halp 9. Favorite candy? 10. Which is your fb profile (PM link) jk

Me thinks simipour --> swampert would be a delicious change Because there's *ahem* someone who uses lots of electric type mons on a factory field or something *ahem* and having at least a half-ground type will def help. Edit: this post costed me my noice 1000 posts-ness so hopefully it's helpful. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go cri in a corner...

Welcome to the club fren~ that is, the evil club... >:) Solaris should receive fair trial but I think that'd mean a death sentence anyway with the many hoomans and pokemon he's killing (directly like Kiki and indirectly through the PULSE project). Thanks for reading, and sorry for making you cri fren

Aya and Vanilla do have a similar disposition, but I wonder if Vanilla would like her - prolly more like she won't dislike Aya haha Hardy is prolly too kind for Vanilla's liking xD

def bias. jk I also think gardevoir is one of those super-useful mons in Reborn.

but the battle ended with garchomp fainting at ~25s

Heheh it would've been if I didn't remember the video until much later xD

Actually, dumb me forgot to link the video xD sorryto dorito cheeto, it must've been like "what happened in that battle??" Also she beats him for two reasons: the first and obvious reason is that I need Julia to be Vanilla's partner in Fiore Mansion, because grass types is what I have most of, and the second is that well, Vanilla ain't the type to develop a trauma of garchomp because it killed Pikachu - she already saw death and overcame it.

Oh wow. I didn't know gifts other than vest were possible for Santa. How could I know, when I barely do my school homework?? hehe Well, I also can't believe that statistically all those things could match perfectly... so I guess I'll join y'all. If this P<0.05 event happaned and Bean is innocent... well... the mafs (numerical mafs) played you big, fam! [ELIMINATE] Sosobean
