i dont know if theres a profession for it exactly. i still want to help people and pokemon reach their potential, but also, i want to rehabilitate injured, old, or abused pokemon. plus, look after a small ranch... its a lot. but its what i want.
33: What words make me feel the best about myself
im not sure... praise, i guess. not empty stuff. things about me having done something helpful, or having done something that makes someone happy.
44: A random fact about anything
charisard snores -- its sort of partway between a growl and a chuff.

[A basket of baked goods arrives for the whole family! A dozen lemon tarts for Claude, a pan of fresh ras malai for Leon, and several chocolate cupcakes with spiced cream filling for Raihan. There's a purple feather attached to a note explaining what the cupcakes are and telling Leon that he loves him and hopes they're all doing well.]
[This is. the sweetest gesture ever. Leon is on the verge of being an emotional mess today and this may be what tips him over into tears. Every time he thinks Mads can’t get more thoughtful, he goes and does things like this!
Leon’s going to share the goods with his husbands as quickly as he can, and then get to thinking on how he can return the favor.]
👼 What are their top 3 values as a parent? I.e what are most important things they want to get across to their child and have them retain?
1. being kind to others. whether it’s a person, a pokemon, even a plant... whether you like them or not, be kind. you never know what someone or something else is going through. don’t cause anything intentional harm, and if you’re able to, do nice things just for the sake of being nice. the post about the girl and the starfish is a great example of the sort of kindness he values.
2. doing your best. because you deserve to feel good about what you’re putting out into the world. keeping in mind that everyone’s best looks different, and even one’s own best depends on how they’re doing at the moment. if your best yesterday was finally beating your rival after 10 tries, that’s awesome! if your best today is getting out of bed and showering, that’s still awesome. don’t sweat it.
3. treating yourself with compassion. probably the most important one, actually, and ties in to the others. it’s okay to have bad days. it’s okay to make mistakes. it’s okay if you’re not good at something. it’s okay if you need to take a break from the world to look after yourself. you are a person with feelings and desires and that’s okay. you don’t need to beat yourself up if you fail or feel bad. just take care of yourself and pick up where you left off when you feel ready.
kindness and effort are some of leon’s personal values, that he consciously chose, so they’re important to him both in himself and others. and growing up away from home, leon was never told it was okay to be anything but perfect. he would do anything to avoid making his child feel that way.
🏫 How is schooling handled? Online, public, private, home-schooled? A mix? Why?
probably public... leon figures it’s the most “normal” learning environment for a kid, and helps them get used to interacting with other people... he wouldn’t want his kids to miss any opportunities like that bc it really sucked for him [even though he was terrible at school in general...]
🍽️ How are family meals handled? Does everyone gather for dinner? Do any of the kids help?
oh dog................... if leon couldn’t learn to cook, there’s probably a lot of takeout in this kid’s future...........
raihan can cook more than leon, but, like.... dang..... oops
maybe they could learn as a fambly!
though, eating together is certainly important to leon. it doesn’t have to be in a formal setting or at a dinner table. plopping on the couch or having a picnic is even better, really.
💭Do they have any dreams or ideals for their children? Do they end up pushing these onto them, or at least encouraging them to pursue these dreams?
really, he would just want his kids to be happy. whatever their dreams were, he’d support them. one of the biggest reasons he even wants kids is because he wants to see them decide what they want for themselves, and to watch and help them pursue it. so long as they have contentment and love, he’s good. honestly.
aye, were gay. stop scrolling please and look at my beautiful and perfect fiance and husband whomst i love dearly and would do anything for theyre so wonderful arceus im gonna lose it 😍💛💫💖💞💙🥰

“And here we are, folks! The last match of the Semifinals between Raihan of the Morgremlins and Daniel of Team Sweet Puff! This one will be for all the marbles, deciding which team progresses to the Finals! Excitement is in the air!”
“It should be noted that the Chairman and I have come up with a few methods of deciding a winner, should this last match end in a draw, as well. Such as scoring teams based on how many obstacles were cleared or even doing a round of Sudden Death. Nothing will get in the way to impede the flow of this event, I assure you.”
“But, anyway! It’s time for us to get to the event itself! The drama! The showmanship! Both of these challengers had the most suspenseful times in the event, sliding in with only a second to spare! So I know they’ll put on quite a show for us today! They also both have Repeat Balls, so Bali, I’m going to be depending on you quite a lot during this match!”
Bali chittered and spun its head around, apparently denoting happiness.
“Ooh, we are neck-in-neck, fair patrons! Both Daniel and Raihan started crossing the platforms as quickly and carefully as possible, but a poorly timed step sent Raihan into the water early on!”
“Raihan decided to use his Repeat Ball Pin, so he was quickly spirited back to the beginning platform where he began again, trying to cross the platforms as quickly as he could manage. He’s effectively caught up to Daniel, though I will remind viewers that his time was restarted, and he’s effectively ten seconds ahead right now.”
Obstacle 2: Big Red Pokeballs -- Raihan: 142 seconds ; Daniel: 65 seconds
“Oh no! A Repeat Ball isn’t going to save Raihan from that mistake, I’m afraid! He and Daniel were still pressing forward at a blistering pace, but Raihan slipped on one of the balls near the middle, crashing into the water a second time!”
“Daniel is still pressing forward at a steady rate, though, and he still has his Repeat Ball Pin to save him in case his encounter with the Sucker Punch goes awry. Best of luck…”
Obstacle 3: Obstagoon’s Sucker Punch -- Daniel (ahead): 76 seconds
“A hush falls over the spectators as Daniel comes head to head with the dreaded Sucker Punch and sizes up his enemy. He watches for a pattern for a few seconds before he commits to cross as quickly as he can without slowing down.”
“I say, he’s doing spectacularly! He’s still getting hit, unfortunately, but he’s relentless in chasing the safety of the next platform. He’s not slowing down! The crowd is going wild!”
“Oh, but here comes Raihan, ready to pull yet another victory out of the jaws of defeat! He seems determined to make up time and starts crossing the Sucker Punch as quickly as he can!”
“Things seem to be going rather well for him, or at least as well as can be expected--”
“YOWTCH! Oh no! Raihan was just struck in an… Er… rather sensitive area, and just dropped into the water, clutching his groin. I don’t think there’s any way he can recover from that in time to finish the race! Someone get the poor lad some ice!”
“What kind of sadistic FREAK allows punches to be aimed below the belt on an obstacle course like this?!”
“Maybe it’s possible he didn’t account for how tall Raihan is…?”
“Mr. Chairman, that man is at least Raihan’s height, if not more, judging solely by the height of his shoulders! I’ll be talking to him about the safety of the next course after this match is over. He can ignore my recommendations at his own peril.”
“Daniel’s now at the last obstacle, the insurmountable Fishious Render Bender! No one who’s faced off with these massive, swinging arms of destruction has withstood them to tell the tale. But Daniel seems to have been planning for this! He hasn’t used his Repeat Pin even once, and still has plenty of time to cross it! Will this be what sends his team over the edge for certain?”
“You can really hear the excitement in the crowd… They’re all on their feet and singing the chant that plays when Gym Leaders pull out their signature Pokemon. This is really going to be some sort of finale -- just one man verses this massive obstacle.”
“Daniel seems to be gauging how far it is between each platform and considering how fast he can run… He takes off across the platform as soon as the first arm has cleared him! Go, go go!”
“He’s racing for the midpoint, apparently trying Rico’s strategy for himself. But it’s difficult to judge when the middle isn’t marked! He stands still in place, hoping the second arm simply goes past him, but he’s launched into the water without care!”
“But he still has his Repeat Ball Pin! He’s holding it up now… Bali! Use Teleport and bring him back to the starting platform!”
Bali chimed mystically and reset his position as Oleana wound back the clock. “This is likely the only chance he’s going to get. While he saved some time getting here, the margins are still too narrow to rely on. If he ends up in the water again, that’s likely it for his run…”
“The crowd is chanting his name… If he pulls this off, it’ll be legendary! Come on, Mr. Daniel! We believe in you!”
Daniel took a deep breath, waiting for the first arm to swing past, before he broke into another sprint. The first time, he’d tried to freeze in the middle of the platform, but there was no way he was going to bet on that again. He knew he couldn’t run the entire length before one arm came swinging back down towards him, but with any luck, he shouldn’t have to.
He blew right past the approximate middle of the narrow walkway, much to the surprise of the hosts, keeping the sight of the second arm firmly in his peripheral vision. Almost there… Almost…
When the arm was nearly crashing into his side, he did the one thing he could think of: he jumped as high as he could, hoping he’d clear it.
He did not.
His foot got caught on the very edge, throwing him into a frightful spin. Dhimani stood up and screamed. “OH NO, HIS HELMET CAME OFF--”
Nearly a death sentence. Daniel’s forehead was clipped on the very edge of the platform, then basically got launched into the mighty river with all the force of a Gyarados’s Hyper Beam. The crowd fell silent as he landed with deafening SPLASH. Out like a light.
A CRITICAL FAIL.
“B-BALI! Use Teleport! Bring him back to the shore, oh sweet Arceus!!!”
Bali chittered sadly, and did what it was told. From this close, a streak of blood could be seen gathering at his temples. Rose, of course went to check his vitals as Oleana sighed and dug out her phone again.
“I’m on it, Chairman… Hello, is this Wyndon General Hospital? Yes, hi, Clara. We’ve got another one for you today… Yes, I’ll hold.”
Final Score:
Team Morgremlin: 1,170 seconds (Winner?!)
Team Sweet Puff: 1,200 seconds
“Raihan eyes the Low Sweep with trepidation, remembering how much Bede seemed to struggle with it. He decides to use his Timer Ball pin to save him a lot of trouble, slowing the swing of the obstacles! He still seems to have a bit of trouble crossing, but still manages to net himself a time gain. Outstanding!”
Falinks Hill -- 65 seconds
“It seems Raihan has found his stride, easily scaling the rolling obstacles that impeded Bede’s progress earlier. It seems his strategy was to move quickly enough that there was no time for them to start rolling.”
“This is shaping up to be a spectacular run, Oleana! Raihan’s been gaining time this entire run!”
Shapeshiftin' Ditto -- 142 seconds
“... I… I spoke too soon! Perhaps bolstered by his earlier success, Raihan tried to dive right through the Shapeshifter without even pausing! He managed to get through the Duraludon-shaped cutout, but missed the end-stage platform!”
“He doesn’t have much time to spare… He seems to be panicking as he swims back to reset his position.”
“Go, Raihan! You can do it! There’s less than a minute left on the clock… Will he make it?! He lines himself up… Ooh, this is going to be even closer, folks! He can’t afford to make that mistake again, and he knows it! He’s hesitating, trying to find the best opening, taking into account the timing of the jump itself…”
“Ten seconds left… nine…”
“Jump, Raihan! Jump! You can do it!”
“Five…”
“He jumps through the Gengar cut-out and lands safely on the other side! Hurry, hurry, get up! You’ve got to hit the button before your run concludes--!”
“One…”
Vibe Check! No Bonus.
“HE’S DONE IT, FAIR PATRONS! He dove forward and hit the button with only a SECOND to spare--OH NO!”
“Oops… It seems in his vigor, he accidentally went skidding off of the other end of the platform, missing out on the Vibe Check bonus.”
“Is he going to be alright? It looks like Quick Ball Guy jumped into the river to check on him…”
“I’m sure he’ll be fine, Mr. Chairman. However, I’m interested in seeing how his old rival will match up against him…”
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out! Stay tuned, everybody!”
