#guardeon

He’s a guild explorer, partially trying to live up to the old days of the exploration guild’s legacy, and partially on the hunt for a special item, a Lunar wing!

Most of his village is plagued with an endless sleep and he’s out to find a solution.

Round 1 matchup 77

Propaganda for Guardeon:

"Guardeon is a fighting-type aura-wielding counterpart to Sylveon! Like Lucario and the Aura Guardians of the ancient past who would use this pokemon as a partner, it can sense the location and intent of creatures, making it an ideal guardian! The scarf-like appendages enable it to manipulate objects, bind foes, and strike from a distance!"

Propaganda for Puff-shroom:

"the only plant in the game to have a sun cost of 0. they sleep during the day, but at night time there's literally no reason not to use them."

More info under the cut

-Ash setting Tama up with a provisional trainer license (basically lets her have Pokemon registered to her despite not being ten yet but she can't do Major Official Trainer Activities like gym challenges, contests, Battle Facilities, etc.) because the Pokemon who've been hanging out with her very much want her to be their trainer. Magcargo's kind of the odd one out since he's only been around her for like an hour cumulatively and he kind of got dragged into this without any idea what was happening but he's still interested because she seems nice. There's some concern about Hoopa staying since he has friends in Dahara City in Kalos... until he points out that Hyperspace Hole still exists and he can come and go literally whenever.

Pikachu officially passes on the role of the Pichu Brothers' chaos wrangler to Absol, in a slightly funny moment where he tries to be all serious about it and put his hand on her shoulder all dramatically, ruined by the fact that he's so much shorter than her that he has to balance awkwardly on his tail to even reach her shoulder (and further undercut by the fact that what he actually says is "they're your problem now. good luck". Also, there is of course much gushing over Gardevoir, Guardeon and Dragaurora's evolutions.

-One of the suggestions for Devos's situation is putting Tonio on the throne, which both he and Valiant are adamantly against because favored by the Muses or not a guy who's been a wandering outlaw and proud of it for nearly a decade is not a good choice for ruling a kingdom in turmoil. Plus having a Songbird as a king would just be weird.

-Kelsie gets Vitality set up in the infirmary and assures everyone that she's expected to make a full recovery eventually, though from what she can tell of how the whole healing flame thing is working it'll take anywhere from one month to three for her to wake up. Then when she's alone she calls Director K to let him know that her reports will be less frequent for the foreseeable future since with Vitality out of commission she's the only medic right now.
