Under construction

With the news of Tumblr banning all nsfw content soon, I thought I’d make a post about what I’ve been up to this past year. I’ve done more growing as a person this year than I have my entire life. And almost all of it stems from things that resulted from nsfw stuff-directly or indirectly. I know the Diabolik Lovers fandom had dwindled to almost nothing before I left-and I feel like this is what will snuff it out entirely.

Sorry for my sparse presence here. I’ve had a lot going on-I’ve been working six days a week lately, and now only have a month to finish my three cosplays for my local convention.

          Maybe she was being a little too harsh… Riho sighed softly yet at the same time she knew she had to stand her ground. “I once heard a woman formerly from the Elite Four say that, people who doubt their their pokemon’s powers, strength and abilities, don’t deserve to keep a trainer ID in the first place. And while I highly respect that woman, it doesn’t mean I entirely agree with that. Trust is a two way street. If your pokemon doesn’t trust you or won’t work with you I don’t think it could work out. If you’re willing to keep trying, then try but stay close in case you need to run to a pokemon center.”

           “Nidoran would be good but it doesn’t evolve in time to learn Double Kick before it may stop listening to you altogether without that first badge… Pikachu also won’t be useful to you; Brock’s Geodude might destroy it with a ground or rock attack… Hey you seem like the type who won’t go for pokemon that aren’t “cute or “girly” which would explain why you wouldn’t go for the pokemon Professor Oak had. Though, Bulbasaur is pretty cute, so is Squirtle. Squirtle eveolves into Wartortle and then blastoise and I’ve seen Blastoise be used in coolness competitions… But if that’s not enough, I think I have an egg I can give you instead that will help you out. One of my little sisters, a breeder in the making, gave me the egg of a Popplio saying that its tough and has a lot of type coverage, plus it’s cute. 

           But, I’m not a big fan of water types, Mari, my Lapras, is the only water type for me. But Popplio evolve into something called Primarina; its absolutely beautiful and I have picture of my champion little sister with hers if you want to see? Oh, my name’s Riho by the way, I was the Champion of Kanto until I moved to Alola last year. So now I gotta see if anyone took my place while I was gone and beat them to regain my title.”

“I’ve never doubted Ember.” The fox looked up at its trainer inquisitively. “But she doesn’t get violent unless something bothers her.” Ceri knew she wasn’t the best owner around-but she made sure Vulpix was always comfortable and had its needs meet. “I just want to make her happy.” “I wouldn’t want to evolve Nidoran for a while. They learn moves faster when they stay unevolved, right? It’d be an advantage for me. That is...if I could even find one.” They weren't rare, exactly, but they were timid. And she didn’t like veering off the beaten path.  “Aww...but Pikachu become so cute when they evolve into Raichu! I was hoping to poison Brock’s Pokemon with Nidoran, and have Ember or Pikachu help finish them off...Course...Ember has Hypnosis, but it isn’t very accurate...”  “Oh, well...the Bulbasaur Professor Oak had seemed very...neurotic? And that Squirtle was...pushy. I was hoping to find an Oddish instead. But...I couldn’t possibly take an egg from you. It was a gift from your sister...”

           “You still have to battle in contests though.” she reiterated, barely biting back a cold, blunt tone. This girl didn’t understand how much danger she was actually putting herself in, and as friendly and outgoing as the champion could be… She could feel irritation begin to creep up on her…  The pokemon was also bit too bratty, it wouldn’t last a second in a contest without at least a little battle experience. Maybe she should “talk to” the Vulpix as well? Her strange ability to communicate with canine pokemon worked with her own Vulpix then Ninetales…  Well, worth a shot.

          “You’re in Kanto. Not Alola.” she spoke firmly and in an almost reprimanding tone as if she were scolding someone, and she was, both of them “In Alola, from Melemele to Ula’ula, Pokemon tend to be pretty friendly and pokemon have been known to go outta their way to help and save people they see are in danger. But here in Kanto, Johto too, or really just about anywhere, battling is a necessity. Outside of a city, or in a Gym, the moment you meet a trainer’s gaze, you have to battle and even if you mange to sneak around them, there are still pokemon you have to worry about. Spearow alone are a huge risk factor, they are mean and aggressive as all hell; makes you wonder why people think letting a ten year old venture into to world by themselves is such a good idea.

            And since we’re talking about Kanto specifically, need I mention the Weedle, Kakuna and Beedrill in Viridian Forest? Weedle may not be that bad but Kakuna and Beedrill are also scary and don’t even get me started on the poison. Zubat are literally blood suckers and they really pester the hell out of you in caves and the more and further you travel the stronger the wild pokemon will get. Fearow can be pretty scary if you trespass in their territory, and don’t even get me started on Golbat, Geodude, Graveler, Voltorb and Electrode. Golbat is a little harsher than Zubat but the latter for are even worse. If one of those things use explosion and you don’t have medicine or the supplies necessary, your pokemon may very well die.”

           “I’m sorry if a lecture isn’t what you wanted, but you need to understand that this isn’t a game and there isn’t much going around it. If you’re going out there and you aren’t getting around via a car or being flown by a pokemon, the only other choice is stocking up on a crap ton of repel or battling. Something both of you need to learn; Vulpix, that girl clearly cares about you enough to take you in when a breeder just gave you up instead of working with you as a good breeder should. You seem like the breeder raised you to be far too spoiled if you have this sort of temperament, and you.” She paused to turn her attention to the red haired girl, 

           “I know you don’t like it, but by not battling you’re actually doing more harm than good for yourself. Because while battling can be fun for some people, it’s also for survival out there .By Vulpix not cooperating with you, it’s putting you in danger as well as itself because if it doesn’t work with you, it could get hurt or worse, you could get hurt and if you get hurt or killed, Vulpix here is going to be without a home.”  She side-eyed the Vulpix as she spoke the last bit, aiming that last bit at them both. “You two need to work together to help each other out here… and Kiddo, you really should consider getting one or two extra pokemon; if your only pokemon faints on you, you could be in huge trouble.” Hence why she was offering to trade her a couple earlier

Ceri looked down at Ember quietly, one of her hands stroking the Pokemon’s back as it settled down. The pair was still getting used to one another-but it strongly resembled a Master/slave relationship. Vulpix only wanted to be fed and brushed-and didn’t care for much else. There was still some hope for them, though-the fox had never attempted to pry off the black ribbon Ceri had tied around its neck.

          None of the pokemon felt right? Well that was odd. “I mean, if your Pokemon is a show runner I don’t think gyms– No, wait, Show Runners, er, sorry, Contest Pokemon, still battle only with more flare to it… But at that same time your pokemon should still respect you unless it’s over “leveled” but I’d need to scan it with my Pokedex to find that out… but if none of the three pokemon fit then what kind of pokemon do you like? I might have something you could trade with me for.” She didn’t need any pokemon a simple Pidgey or a Rattata would do

             “Well, it isn’t that it’s obvious, it’s just I grew up in Viridian and know just about everyone here; even if I’ve been away for a little over a year I still recognize most of the people here. The only new faces I ever see are the ones of travelers or trainers on their journey. As for your dilema… Hmm… Do you have any pokemon that can learn iron tail? I can help you with that if you do. But if you don’t why not talk to Professor Oak in Pallet town about getting a Squirtle or a Bulbasaur? I’m sure he’d be willing to help a young trainer out. I mean, he gave me my Charizard as a Chamander about… 6 years ago.”
