No.

Ha, all of us saw it coming except Fern xD Can't fight back when logic is wrapping your brain hahaha

Somehow this thread got 1K views Idk everybody who reads this cheesy excuse of a playthru but thx for the support <3

That's what I was talking about when I felt this episode was going to be 3x cooler than the others I've written (Besides the fact that Fern gets punched in the face too, which is great) I will do you a service and answer the question. The answer is yes. I think though that the process in which she learns to think this way, while keeping a strong sense of self which she already has, is one of the major points on this playthrough. I hope I can do this great (albeit temperamental and violent) character justice...

Mew: 13 Celebi: 8 Jirachi: 13 Manaphy: 11 Victini: 7 I'm back-o the geck-o to do the get-go.

From Everland to Reborn ~ Episode 7 The next thing to do, of course, was to battle Florinia. Since I expected her team to be at around Lv 25, which was my current level cap, I trained the two pokemon I believed would be most important in this battle: Anna and Elsa. Like I'd experienced during the mutant tangrowth battle, these two were the only members of my team which could do something against grass types, as Prince, Kame, Cinderella and Wolfie were all helpless against the type. Luckily what was my only concern, that Florinia would set up the rain, was taken care of with the realization that Anna could turn the rain into a rainbow with her ability. On the way to the Gym, I battled some OTS students hanging out outside. When I tried to enter what I thought would be the Gym building, though, some stinking elite douchebags told me I wasn't allowed the OTS entrance and to try the one next door which led directly into the Gym. The way the blondie said it got on my nerves, but I let it slide. Beating up minors wasn't my style. When I entered the right entrance, though, an acquaintance was waiting for me. “Oh, it's you. You're the one with fragile sense of self-worth right? What was your name again?” “I don't think you're in the place to be insulting me now, you know. I'm Fern, the top dog and I rule this school.” “Is that so? Luckily I'm not looking for admission into your school. I've come for a Gym battle, so if you'll excuse me,” I said and tried to pass through his side, but he suddenly pushed me back. “I don’t think you’re understanding me,” Fern said with a voice a tone deeper than his usual self. “You don’t deserve to battle my sister. You’re not good enough.” “Are you sticking up for your sister? So that I won’t beat her Gym? Pathetic. What else are Gym leaders for?” “No. You wouldn’t understand. A newbie that came rolling from God-knows-where. It’s a matter of family and our school’s pride, and you’re not worthy.” So Fern said, stepped a few meters back, and closed a steel gate in between us. “Hey,” I ran over to the gate. “What’s the meaning of this?” “Go home, and don’t return,” Fern said, and I heard his footsteps walking away. “Coward! Open this gate! You asked for it. I’ll crush you when I see you, jerk!” The damn green-haired baby did not seem to be in a distance to be heard. “What does he even know about family pride,” I spat on the gate. “I’m technically a noble in my home region.” I kicked the gate once, making a horrendous noise, before exiting the Gym. “Well, that leaves only the eastern entrance. Let’s go, Pikachu.” I ran over to the east side of the building, where blondie and his friend were still standing in front of the entrance. “We’ve heard from boss to keep you out. Don’t expect us to go easy on your pokemon,” blondie’s friend said. Blondie was first to battle me, with a single wingull. What did they expect I was, an idiot? I could’ve beaten this guy even before I challenged Julia to a battle. I let Wolfie take care, for even with type disadvantage, a single Thunder Fang was all it took to take down the seagull. His friend followed by sending out a dewpider, but it too could not do anything serious to Wolfie before she finished it with Thunder Fang. “Damn, I’ll go warn the others about the intruder,” blondie said and went into the building. I followed him, and rested my pokemon with nurse Joy. There were many students hanging out, though I couldn’t tell whether they were in the lobby because it was recess or because they were skipping class. One of them, though, was conveniently a smuggler of illegal super potions, which you could not get elsewhere in town. I felt the price of 700P was pretty high, but I felt it was worth the extra recovery, since normal potions were starting to become useless on my team. On the right, I found some trainers waiting for me, for apparently these were the friends blondie went in to warn. I won fairly easily, and was rather grateful for them since they helped me toughen up my team. On the second floor, I could hear classes still in session. I walked silently, in order to not disrupt any one of them. I also found some study rooms, one in which a guy was annoyed at his inability to win at the slots, and another one that was empty save for a spooky relic-level old desktop computer flashing illegible codes on the screen. Some other doors led to the dormitories, but I didn’t go in to avoid misunderstandings. The school was larger than I expected, and I eventually got lost. As I walked around, I found a lonely guy facing a wall, perhaps reciting a speech for an oral presentation. “Listen, I think you’re really cool and,” I thought I heard him say before I walked up to him for directions. However, the guy was startled by me. I guess my appearance can be scary, since my skin makes me look like I’m the living dead, but I didn’t expect him to react so exaggeratedly as to bump into a plant and knock it over. “Don’t sneak up to people like that,” he scolded me and ran away blushing. “Sorry about that, I’ll go get a janitor,” said a teacher who happened to pass by and saw the incident. He opened some doors with a key and went in, so I snuck through the doors to check what was in. It was a narrow hallway with most of the rooms locked. They appeared to be administrator offices, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. I followed to the back of the hallway, where there were stairs. Upstairs, this time I was startled since I didn’t expect to find people hanging in this area. The place looked like a computers room. There were a few girls chatting quietly, and other students studying for exams on, I believe, field effects. Since I had bothered to come all the way here, I sat at one of the computers to see what you could do at this school. A pleasant surprise was when I found the computer contained the code for the field effect read-out of Florinia’s field. I clicked on the icon, and it revealed to me that it was called the Desert Field. “Shoot, I would’ve thought she would use a grassy garden or a jungle or something like that,” I bit my lips. I scanned the code and copied the information into my Pokegear app. The field effect read-out informed me that although my Kame and Prince would become mostly useless since I was fighting on a type disadvantage on this field that cut the power of water-type attacks by half, my Anna was bound to be a wrecking ball given that Heat Wave received a 1.5x boost in addition to the usual boost of STAB and drought. I could already smell victory well-served on a plate. I went out to the hallway I had come in from, and found that the janitor hadn’t yet cleaned up the mess. Unfortunately I had nothing to help the case either, so I just kept going random directions, hoping I would eventually make it to the Gym side. On the way, I battled a few more trainers, most memorably an ace trainer who had a pachirisu on his team. Pikachu squeaked at the pachirisu, and the pachirisu squeaked back. That one also seemed good natured. However, contrary to its cute looks, the squirrel could really pack a punch, even fainting Anna, my ace for this Gym battle. “Guess, never judge the book by its cover,” I murmured and sent out Cinderella to finish the battle. I did make through to the Gym, after I don’t know how many hours of roaming around. When I did, though, I found the one individual I wanted to see before I battled Florinia. “Those dumb kids can’t do anything right, can they,” Fern sighed when he saw me coming. I quickly stepped up to him, and before he could even know what I was set to do, I pulled back my fisted hand and gave him a full-speed punch onto his face. The pathetic idiot fell back to the ground, together with the glasses I knocked off from his nose. “What a loser, resorting to savage means like this,” Fern scorned while wiping the blood from his nose. “Who is the loser? Me, who came in legally invited by the Gym leader, or you, a common folk with such a fragile mentality that can’t bear see his family member lose to a newbie like me?” I looked down at him, who was still lying on the floor. “I didn’t like your attitude from the beginning, but I’m not going to hold back if you’re going to go that low.” Fern sighed and picked himself up from the floor. He grabbed his glasses, which were now broken, and placed them in his chest pocket. “I was doing you a favor, and this is how you pay me?” Fern laughed from his nose. “I was just trying to save you embarrassment by preventing you from challenging our Gym.” “Shut up. I’m done with you, so just let me pass.” “Not so fast, dumbass. If you’re so sure of your victory, let me test you first. I’ll give you a reality check,” Fern smirked and held up a pokeball. “I gave you one already, and I’ll not hesitate to give you another one,” I said, preparing for battle. The first match was his sandile against my Elsa, but from what I remembered, he did not have pokemon that resisted ice. The sandile, though, was higher level than Elsa, so it survived a Freeze-Dry. Elsa was Crunched, but was able to take down the sandile on the second turn. Next up, Fern sent out roselia, so I sent out Anna to give Elsa a rest. The match was pretty decided on my favor, but the roselia, which was faster than Anna, didn’t go down without a good fight. Lastly, he sent out his starter which had now evolved into a dartrix since our first battle. I would’ve liked to give my other teammates a chance to glow too, but I wasn’t going to let anyone be embarrassed by losing to Fern’s pokemon. So I went back to reliable Elsa, who Freeze-Dried, but also received a hard hit and almost fainted. I changed pokemon - into Kame, which I know was a risky move, but I couldn’t go into Anna since her health was still unrecovered. Fortunately Fern didn’t read my switch, and did not use a grass-type move. Kame used Fake-Out, but it did almost nothing. Now I was on a tight spot. I switched pokemon again, this time to Cinderella, hoping the dartrix would not use flying-type attacks yet. It didn’t the first round, but Cinderella also tanked a Pluck before astonishing it. The decisive moment was when I made my last switch into Wolfie, and luckily dartrix’s razor leaf missed so I won the battle with a single Rock Throw. This was the most teamwork I’d seen since Julia’s battle, except no one had to be sacrificed for the greater good. “How disappointing, to have to keep losing to dumb beginner’s luck,” Fern rolled his eyes. “But guess what. You’re not the only one who can do the League challenge. Let’s play it on an even field next time,” Fern walked away without even saying goodbye. “Try not to be a sore loser next time, then,” I said, but my target was already out of my sight. I healed up my team before entering into Florinia’s gym. There was an ante-Gym, I guess, with the screen which I could call Ame from was switched on like usual. I didn’t call her, though, because I had already wasted enough time with the jerk. I entered to the main part of the Gym, which was, as expected, covered in sand, but unexpectedly had a stand for people to watch the Gym battles. There were a good number of students sitting and watching me, though some others seemed to be asleep. “Vanilla,” Florinia looked at me as I entered. “I have been expecting you. Take your designated position.” I decided to lead off with Elsa still, so that I could check the situation prior to sending my ace. I stood on the area Florinia signaled. “Though your assistance in regards to Team Meteor affairs was greatly appreciated, it alone does not justify obtaining a badge,” Florinia explained. “I know.” “Do not mistake this requirement as a sign of unthankfulness, for it is merely procedure.” “Ok.” “Accordingly, let us start. Audience, please take notes on standard battling procedure. Hypothesis: Subject possesses insufficient data for conclusive results. Expected outcome: Failure.” I must remark that Florinia’s speeches are a class act, even if they lack emotion. The battle started rough. The maractus was somehow pretty tanky - that and Florinia used a super potion on it as well - and didn’t go down until after it set up 3 spikes on my side of the field. Though Elsa’s HP was intact, I switched her for Anna already, since the next pokemon Florinia sent out was a Ferrothorn holding a Telluric seed. I forgot to read about seeds, since I thought it was irrelevant to me given that I have none in my bag, but the effects of it were a little scary. Even with the seed’s help, the metal-coated seed could not bear a supreme-boosted Heat Wave from Anna. Anna proceeded to sweep the next three grass types, but was halted by a large rock-looking plant. The beast had incredible defenses. I expected Heat Wave to do good damage even if it was neutral damage, but I was mistaken. Anna was taken down and she didn’t even cut half the plant’s HP. On top of that, Florinia set up a sandstorm and increased the pokemon’s defences with Stockpile. In the hopes of fainting it, Elsa went down to Smack Down, a rock-type move which I hadn’t prepared for. Cradily also had the move Recover, which nullified my efforts. It came down to a battle of who had more recovery options, mine being only the super potions I happened to buy from a student in the school lobby and two choc ice creams which Cinderella picked up. I sent out Kame, who did as good a job as he could with Aurasphere, though I perhaps should have used the move prior to cradily setting up its defences to their max. Eventually, though, he also went down, leaving me with Cinderella, Wolfie and Prince. Luckily, Kame did me the favor to exhaust cradily’s Recovering move, so Cinderella just had to hang on tight for just a little more to finally, after a great number of turns, deal the final blow. God knows this was the most exhausting battle I had ever had. I would have definitely lost, had I not stocked up on healing items. I guess I should dedicate my victory to that smuggler who sold me the super potions. “Challenger remains due to receive Canopy Badge,” commented Florinia when the battle was over. We both walked towards each other and met in the center. Apparently the conclusion of the battle meant class was dismissed, for all the students started standing up and making noisy metal sounds with their chairs. Florinia, as was of custom, also gave me a new disk for me to teach Nature Power to my pokemon. Unlike with Julia, where I saw her move, Charge Beam be used against me quite often, I seemed to have lost my chance to see Nature Power in play because I swept 3 of the pokemon at once. “Where do you intend to go now?” “I guess to fight the next Gym leader, who according to my manual is in Beryl Ward.” “To go to Beryl, you will first have to passage through Jasper Ward. Both wards have been ransacked by similar plant life as Obsidia, but to a much larger scale. If I may make one last request of you, do venture to Jasper and discover if there is not a similar plot behind the destruction there.” I sighed. “I think you’re misunderstanding something. I didn’t come to Reborn to be a regional savior for your damn city. If these atrocities like what happened in Obsidia are happening everywhere, that’s a sign. Leave this place and relocate somewhere else. End of your problem.” “An exodus of the magnitude of Reborn City, composed of eight large wards, would be an ordeal to arrange.” “Not my problem. I have my own problems to deal with,” I spat to the sandy ground. “My cousin recommended that I come here and start anew. I didn’t have to choose this wasteland, though. You know why I chose to come to Reborn? Because it offered a large league, a huge amount of room to grow my monsters in. These are the monsters that will help me take back what belongs to me and my people.” “Are you planning to form an organization, much like Team Meteor’s to attain such goals?” I looked at Florinia dead in the eye. It was a practice I was used to do, when I wanted to make people agree with me even if just because of fear of me. However, the unfeeling woman did not even flinch and stared back at me with an empty gaze. “No,” I flipped hair off my face. “Those lunatics kill innocent civilians. Instead, I’ll kill the lunatics who suppress the civilians.” “I will not question your motivations, for I cannot argue against your actions when I also am fighting against a similar threat that is Team Meteor,” Florinia said, and fixed her glasses up her nose bridge. “However, let me attempt to persuade you to be of assistance to our cause here at Reborn too. After all, you have been the only individual capable to halting the machination in Obsidia, and from battling I have learned you have much hidden potential.” “I will only stay and listen to you for a few more minutes, because out of all the weirdos I have met since arriving, you’re the least dislikeable one.” “I am humbled. Here is the reasoning. Background. You have come to Reborn to grow your pokemon stronger. You want to use these pokemon to assist you in a personal battle in your home region. Present situation. Reborn region is in the midst of a crisis. Team Meteor is killing civilians, destroying wards, fighting opposition. Your political position. You would side with us rather than Team Meteor. Conclusion. You can use the Team Meteor issue in your favor to toughen your pokemon, and hence become stronger than had you only battled the Reborn Gym Leaders. In the process you stop Team Meteor’s plans. Both your goals and our goals are achieved. Are you not of the same mind as me on this matter?” Put in this way, what Florinia said was, as matter of fact, logical and correct. If my goal is to train strong pokemon from the little babies Candy gave me, I need to fight as many trainers as possible. The extra battles coming from Team Meteor would only be a boost in the training process. “I agree with you,” I felt pain in saying that, but it had to be said. “However, do not trust me to put my life on the line for the victory of your group. I cannot die in Reborn region.” “Understood. We will not expect such action.” “Then I will go now. I shall report back on the Jasper or whatever.” “One more thing,” Florinia added, stopping me once again. “This app I have developed should also be of help in fighting the pokemon-machine hybrids. I have already inputted the information for the tangrowth you recently battled.” I scanned the barcode she held out for me with the Pokegear. The app, Pulse Dex, appeared on the screen. “Got it. Bye.” So I was, again, on my way to a new Ward, this time far on the northwest. VANILLA RATES: REBORN CHARACTERS QUICK LINK TO NEXT EPISODE

I'm IN <3 Les do this

YEEEE all aboard the H Y P E train Even if i haven't finished E17. I'll put my two cents in and wish you luck. Hopefully the work is more smooth than for E17. Ha, see me talking about a smooth workflow. I'm a scientist ffs

- Lysol wipes were mentioned but I can't stress enough how great they're. - Bathroom sandals for shower, if you share a shower with someone. You can get plantar warts (I have first hand experience) which can be very expensive to treat. - Cheerios original flavor. You'll get tired of sugary flavor cereal but your tastebuds will last longer with this gem. - Latex gloves, if you can occasionally steal a pair from the science lab (I work in one so I have infinite supply lol). These are the most convenient for cleaning bathrooms.

ALso thx to this mod, I've been able to add a little cute touch to my public playthru, with the MC having a pachirisu following her around xD

Man this should not be an essay but a bible to all us fallen Pokemon-anime watchers. I stopped watching after Misty and Brock left (I had little time to watch TV afterward) but I thought he'd win a League soon enough. I didn't realize it was just a T R A P to keep the story going for unimaginative storywriters to do the least amount of work possible. I did watch most of the Kalos saga though, and I thought it was great. However, unlike most others, I knew Ash wouldn't win the Kalos League - the gen 7 games would need advertising and hence an anime... and I doubted the storywriters would be adventurous enough to try something new. H E C C they haven't even really tried something new in the games. The storyline is similar across the board, with some minor add-ons to still make them fresh and interesting. It is a shame, really, for I have a hunch that the storywriters of Kalos saga actually wanted to make Ash win the League, but were probably stopped by superiors that put money before quality storytelling. Shame.

I believe you'll like what I've got in store for the OTS arc then I'll not dissuade you from setting your expectations high, for I too have high expectations for the next chapter!

I don't see an issue with writing in your favorite mon Your MC's name is Wolfox for starters haha But imo you'd best choose either to: put most of your focus to that mon (or carry on with placing importance to Vulpix) or make an effort to balance the team members' spotlight.

From Everland to Reborn ~ Episode 6 I healed my team up, and was walking around the many warehouses, when I heard repetitive knocks. The sound was coming from one of the warehouses, but it stopped before I reached it. “Anyone in there?” I asked inches from the gate, but i heard no response. “Weird. I'm sure I heard something.” I knocked on the gate, and a few moments later I heard louder bangs reciprocating mine. There definitely was someone inside. “Candy, is that you?” I shouted and tried to force the gate open. I sent out my Elsa and Anna, but their attacks were insufficient to break it. Guess they've made it resistant to Pokémon attacks so thieves cannot steal stored merchandise. “I'll have to find the key,” I said while knocking. “Hang in there, cousin.” So I left the warehouse and Coral Ward, for the only way I had left to take: north, toward Obsidia Park. In front of the park, I found Florine's and Amaria apparently waiting for me. “This is the collaborator I have spoken of,” Florinia said. “So you're the brave league challenger Rini told me about,” Amaria marveled and briefed Florinia about our meeting in Coral Ward. “If you are ready, Vanilla, use this to cut the tree in our way.” Florinia handed me a disk, much like the one Julia had gifted me. The problem was that i couldn't decide on who to teach the move to, since it was a rather weak one. Then, Pikachu squeaked in my ear. “Right, I can teach it to you, buddy.” I did just that, and Pikachu cut the tree for us to pass. Florinia and Amaria passed before me, but soon I heard their cries from nearby. I ran over, only to find them tied by tentacles of thick vines. There was a large machine with some green mossy creature tied to it, and a person wearing black clothes in front of it. “So only three came to deal with us,” the person commented. “Three are nothing. Easy to deal with.” “Are you behind this mess of plantlife?” I inquired to the person. “But of course. Um, I think it would be more polite if we introduced ourselves first. I’m Lumi. To be polite? Who cares about politeness? But if you must know, I’m Zero. And I’m Eve. We’re collectively known as ZEL.” “Ugh, I’ve dealt with ominous characters in the past, but your type is a first. Are you three people in one?” “That’s right, but it’s really a long story. Yes, and a story we have no need to tell right now. You are a threat to our operation right now, and hence we’ll eliminate you now.” “So I just have to knock you out and damage that machine of yours, huh?” “Do you think you’ll be able to get past us? Naive little girl! I think it would be wiser if you came back with more support, in my opinion. I don’t think you could beat us right now with this strong machine. Indeed, this Link System I made is a simple hybridization-amplification mechanic that takes a pokemon’s power and amplifies it to levels unachievable in normal circumstances. That is how, using Tangrowth’s power, we’ve manipulated the smallest root into a massive arbor wrecking ball. Forget about going to get help, for we’ll finish you before you can even move!” I led the battle with Elsa, who managed to cut one-third of the mutated tangrowth’s HP before going down to its acid spray attack. My next best bet was Anna, who was a fire type, but I wasn’t sure her fire attacks would be as effective in this rainy weather. Even then, the others, Kame (a water type), Cinderella (a grass/ghost type with her only ghost attacking move being astonish which is very weak) and Wolfie (a rock type) looked more helpless against the grass-type monster. So I sent out the hesitant Anna to the field, but to my surprise the sun rays she brought out stopped the rain and completely changed the field. I didn’t know how to play this field, but at least the problem of the rain weakening fire-type attacks was dealt with. Luckily, too, Anna’s first Heat Wave burned the tangrowth, so although she fainted before taking him out, I had little trouble taking him down with Kame’s Fake Out. When our battle was done, the tangrowth was ejected from the machine and fell, unconscious. “Zero, next time, let’s fight with our own pokemon, rather than with the mission keystone. I’m sorry, tangrowth… Stop yelling at me! You said this machine was supposed to make it stronger! Your misjudgement was the key factor. Regardless, with tangrowth incapacitated, the malignant growth will now regress. Let’s recover the model and begone.” The person with multiple personality disorder used some teleportation magic and disappeared instantaneously. If there’s a pokemon that can do that, I hope it’s one of my dozen team members. With the vines turning lifeless, Amaria and Florinia were released and fell to the ground, practically blue in the face. “Ah I can breathe,” Amaria said, after gasping for air a few times. “I’m sorry I wasn’t much help.” “It’s fine.” “But it’s impressive you were able to defeat ZEL all by yourself!” The two Gym leaders discussed about how much bigger a threat Team Meteor was resulting to be, since, they could only extrapolate that the mutant plant life that destroyed Jasper and Beryl were also their doing. Even though both Amaria and Florinia feigned health, with one smiling more than usual and the other looking more like a robot, I could tell they were still not well recovered from the choking attack, so I suggested they go home to rest. “Thanks for your concern, Vanilla. I sure will, and again thanks for the help today,” Amaria said and went away. “I will be returning to my Gym in Onyx Ward. Not to rest, but to pursue my duties as a Gym leader. Vanilla, your attendance will be expected at your leisure.” So Florinia said, and left towards the north of the park. I was about to follow her, when Pikachu squeaked and jumped off my shoulder. “What is it, bud?” I followed Pikachu instead to a nearby tree in the park. There was something glittery, though it was hard to see well with the rain. I checked where the squirrel stopped, and found a key hidden behind a root of the tree. “Could this be…?” I instantly thought of the warehouse Candy was trapped in. With this conviction, I wasted no time in returning to Coral Ward, to where the rain was starting to reach. “Candy, I’m back. Let me try this key I found,” I shouted while inserting the key into the keyhole. The gate opened, to my relief. Inside, I found the real Candy with someone I wasn’t acquainted with. “Oh dear cousin,” Candy exclaimed and ran full speed to embrace me in a tight hug. “I am glad you’ve found us. I thought we would starve to death in here!” “I’m glad you didn’t,” I replied with the little air she was letting me breathe. “Come now, you wouldn’t want to asphyxiate our savior, do you hun?” said the man, and Candy finally let me go. “Thanks for saving us. However, I’m really hungry, so I’ll head back to the daycare now.” “Wait, I’ll go too,” Candy agreed. “Come with us, Vanilla. There’s some catching up to do.” Since Gym battle with Florinia could wait, I followed the pair to the daycare. At the daycare, Candy started with the biggest surprise. “I’m married!” she exclaimed, showing me her glittery ring on her left hand. I was dumbstruck by the confession. Candy teased at me for my blank expression. “It’s just that I didn’t expect to find you married,” I explained. “Why didn’t you tell me? And who is this man anyway? I’ve never seen him in my life!” “Come on now, that’s not entirely true, you know,” Candy pointed out. “How so?” “He’s a distant relative of ours. All of us are descendants of Hansel and Gretel. We are from Hansel’s side, and Cookie is on Gretel’s side, which is why we’ve occasionally met during major family gatherings in our childhood.” “I don’t seem to recall you, but if your name is Cookie, there is little doubt that you’re indeed from Everland and descended from Hansel or Gretel.” “I’m glad I’ve passed your background check,” Cookie laughed. “We met in Hoenn during my League challenge, and came over to Reborn when I had to step down from the Champion’s seat. We’ve been operating this shop ever since.” “You should’ve told me about this,” I frowned. “If you had, I would’ve counceled you against marriage.” “That’s precisely why, my beloved cousin, I didn’t request your counsel,” Candy winked. “I am happily married for over two years. Besides, I can divorce anytime I want, you know?” “Do as you wish, for it is your life and not mine to live.” “If you have any pokemon you’d like to breed, let me know and I’ll gladly help you,” Candy said, because she saw me moving toward the exit. “Ah, right. Here, I found this little thing you might like,” I remembered and gave Candy the blue pokemon egg. “Also, thanks for the dozen of pokemon you gave me. They’re my only team now, and we’re going strong.” “Oh, what a lovely oval egg! Thanks Vanilla, I’ll certainly take good care of it. I’m also happy you liked my choice of pokemon, but you seem to have forgotten to introduce me to your furry shoulder buddy.” I looked at Pikachu, and it squeaked with joy. “Oh, this is Pikachu,” I said, and Candy laughed but approved my choice of nickname. “I kind of rescued it from some insolent brats, and has stuck with me ever since. It doesn’t battle though, it just tags along.” “Lovely,” Candy said. Pikachu jumped from my shoulder to the counter where Candy was reclining, and demanded she pet it. Candy stroked the white fur with visible delicacy and plain love for all pokemon. “I wish you luck in your journey, Vanilla. I’m sure there will be hard times, but I’m sure the good memories will be worth it in the end.” I waved to Candy but not to Cookie, though he did wave at me. “See you later,” I smirked and went out of the daycare. VANILLA RATES: REBORN CHARACTERS You might be wondering why I didn't include Florinia's gym battle in this episode. Well, truth is, I totally wanted to, but it was realistically impossible. If you've had to stay in a science lab until 7pm when almost everyone has left doing your experiments, AND on top of that haven't eaten nothing but 3 cookies since breakfast which was 1 slice of breakfast pizza, you'll understand that I was psychologically drained. There was no way I could center myself on the story, and that would be a shame because the events at Florinia's gym aka OTS are pretty important in Vanilla's character development. It'd be a shame if I neglected it because of my exhaustion... so sorry my fellow frens, you'll have to wait until (hopefully) tomorrow or if not just Soon as hecc! QUICK LINK TO NEXT EPISODE

I see le ppl dropping Celebi like hot onion. And I agrees xD Mew ganbare~

Sylveon-chan stares at you

God, out of all places, I've met someone whose favorite food is orange chicken ;_; Welcome to the fam ;_; Legit it's a top-tier delicacy that people underestimate. Who needs pizza when you have orange chicken!

My favorite way to deal with the crappy TMs imo is Waynolt's mod that lets you use TM moves if you have the TM in your bag. That is, ppl might not have a fighting type move user at all times (referring to the Insurgence way) so I think Waynolt's way is superior.

Who made the Gundham sprites tho? The one for the trainer card is pro-looking Thx for the links tho

Haha! Didn't know you were doing a Rejuv run~ And those sprites tho, you're an excellent artist I can tell

That moment when a 19 yo is more in dependent and mature than me, a 22 yo xD Anyhow, here's some questions with sugar and spice fren: 1. What is your favorite feature of yourself? (Can be abstract too, like personality, just sayin'!) 2. What is your favorite pokemon type? 3. Do you play and instrument, and if so which? 4. What's your favorite nom-nom (aka food)? 5. Did you have that 'strong personality' of yours since you were small, or is it something you developed over the years? 6. Is you a boy or is you a gurl What's your favorite pokemon starter? Most important question coming up: 7. What is your favorite candy? (Don't feel bad if your answer is 'none'...) Cheers and happy question-answering~
