Shitty Dinner

We’re not allowed to ask for tips right on the Archive so we’re posting a link to our tip jar here:

TIP JAR

If you want to shoot a few bucks our way, it goes straight to getting stuff for making fic (media on which we base our derivative works or other tech we use to share playthroughs for example). 

Straight outta the AO3 TOS: Linking to a personal website or blog/social network where you are taking donations, posting commissions or mentioning published works is permitted, but advertising it directly on the Archive is not, nor is using language which one might interpret as requesting financial contributions. For example, you can say something to the effect of “check out my Tumblr if you want to know more about me and my writing” and include the link to the site, but you cannot specifically state anything about donations, commissions or sales on the Archive.

@charmeLEON Just got out of the Wild Area because I was training very hard

@TheGreatRaihan @charmeLEON definitely not because there was no phone signal.

Chapter 31: Galar Mine No. 2 https://archiveofourown.org/works/21750505/chapters/57864040

“Don’t you know about Poké Jobs?”

“Not much.” Her mum hires some Pokémon to help with tilling in the springtime but she doesn’t know about the logistics. 

“Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case…” Hop pats the ground beside him. “Settle back down and let Professor Hop teach you a thing or two!”

“Here we go again,” Gloria chuckles, stealing a bite of his sandwich since an entire second one would be too much for her. “Tell me, Professor,” she entertains, appropriating his thigh as a pillow. 

Chapter 29: Making Waves https://archiveofourown.org/works/21750505/chapters/57071311 

"Ralts! Help me out here!" Gloria calls.

Ralts hits the water, and looks completely and utterly betrayed as it floats above the surface after being initially submerged.

Gloria clutches the Pokéball to her chest. "I-I'm sorry! I thought you would do the floaty thing!" she says with her jaw clenched.

“What the bloody hell was that, mate?! Where did you learn that?! Blinding play!”

Chapter 26: Strike Your Fancy

“What?” Hop looks up in time to see her hurling the apple away, shrieking.

“Something hit me!” she squeals, rubbing her cheek where whatever it was slapped her. “There’s something in it!”

Chapter 25: Débuts

“Gloria and Hop, your rivalry is the talk of the town. How does knowing this affect your relationship?” Gillian asks.

“We certainly push one another to do our best. I’d sleep in every morning if Hop didn’t pester me."

“You sleep sooo much,” Hop laughs, poking her cheek before turning back to the camera. “We can get quite competitive! We have to keep one another on our toes if we want to be ahead of the competition.”

“What are battles between the two of you like, and who comes normally comes out on top?”

Chapter 24: First Impressions https://archiveofourown.org/works/21750505/chapters/55460560

“My gym’s the first one people face, so we get a lot of challengers,” Milo begins. “That’s why I try to keep the gym mission challenging but… that didn’t stop you from completing it, Gloria. Proper job.”

“Thank you. I’m from a farming town myself, so I might have had a leg up,” she admits sheepishly.

“Sure seems like you understand Pokémon real well,” he kindly offers instead, rejecting her justification.

Chapter 23: Turffield

“Lee’s not wrong,” Gloria laughs. “You can get flustered pretty easily.”

“Hey.”

“Don’t you find it bothersome that our cards are so similar?”

Hop has a stupid-looking smile as he reads them “Nah. First-year challengers usually have a similar format. I kind of like it, actually! We’re like a set.” He’s positively bubbling.

Chapter 22: Route 4 Thoughts https://archiveofourown.org/works/21750505/chapters/54973705

“This really is the life, isn’t it?” she asks, getting up and shaking the lowest tree branch for more fruit. Thwackey seems unimpressed and starts vocalising at her from above. “Hush, you. Just hang onto a branch and you won’t fall.”
