TY KEI ; u ;

Comforter

There was something comforting in the lagged flicker of the living room lights, the hum of the fan turning on, the stutter in his suitcase rolling into the apartment as he’s quick to discard it. Disregarding how it clamors to the floor next to his shoes. Forgetting to turn the light off after him. His feet now dragging into his bedroom as he turns the knob and just sees the moonlit bed.

Before he even knew it his body hit the cool bed sheets with a very loud poof. A soft comforter caressing him into the lull of sleep; sleep he couldn’t get on the plane–but then there was shifting. Springs coiling underneath, blankets shifting with the slow movement at first, only to then be attached to a groggy, “Gladi?”

And even with his 2 seconds of rest he has just enough in him to mumble a “I’m home.” His words muddled by his cheek pressed into the mattress.

Completely forgetting that he may have forgotten to tell Moon he was arriving in the dead of night. Maybe even forgetting other things–like the wide open door to from their living room or that his outside clothes were still on. He technically did go to the airport sleep ready–but it would’ve made sense to wash his face again.

Yet he finds no reason to care about the miniscule details. 

His eyes opening just enough to see from his angle to take note of her sleepy eyes, her swollen cheeks, her messy hair, one of his shirts she loved to sleep in. And even Moon, the hardest person to wake up, was now moving quickly. Too quickly. Her quiet “I missed you,” into his chest as his brain fails to recognize that her arms were now wrapped around him. But instead of staying at the foot of the bed he pulls both of them further in, and further into the warm embrace. Smiling at how she mumbles that he should’ve told her, that she didn’t expect him back for another two days, that she could’ve picked him up.

But her quiet words are lost on his sleep deprived brain. His eyelids turning heavy. He figures Moon would understand his utmost desire to just knock out. Kissing her forehead and pulling her close without another word before lifting the blankets to cover both of them and drifting off to sleep in their bed.

Oh, it was so fun having a friend who shared the same birthday with her; maybe it’s because deep down she’s always longed for one, but it was almost like having a sibling! A sister from the universe.

And so Selene skipped (rather, did as close to a skip as she could given the weighty contents snugly within her arms) and hummed the birthday song until she found the birthday girl herself. She beamed, giggling in a mixture of nerves and excitement–her gift was a bit…big, and maybe she should’ve mentioned it before coming all the way, but no turning back now, right?

“Li~siaaaaa~! Happy birthday~!” Musical as can be, as she offers out a large, ocean colored bag. “I probably should’ve asked if you had the time, but…oh, I couldn’t help myself! My Primarina had her first eggs with another Primarina recently and I couldn’t help thinking of you!” Within the bag was an azure egg, a cyan stripe nearing its bottom that foreshadowed the future Popplio it would become.

“I thought a Popplio could be your own piece of Alola to carry with you. And I thought it’d be cute if you could both be twinsies too.” The other contents of the bag were two headbands–one a perfect size for Lisia’s head and another made for a Pokemon for sure. Pearl strings attached to one another and punctuated at the ends by a pink star–a petite blue veil at the top of each as well. All home made. There may or may not have been a few attempts prior because they weren’t just right yet.

“I hope this is okay!” 

A chirpy tune sounded from her as a whistle, but it was soon too hard to maintain as her lips involuntarily shaped into a grin at hearing another upbeat song nearby. She turned lightly on her feet like a soft breeze, eyes lighting up with joy.

Selene’s arrival and greeting grew Lisia’s grin into one impossibly brighter. How great it was to see her friend! Her birthday twin! The day was made all the more special due to the fact they shared it in such a way.

“Selene! Happy Birthday to you too!”

With her good mood bubbling through her, it brought the urge to hug the other birthday girl, affection peaking. But oh, that would be a little tricky with the bag involved.

What’s this?

Lisia accepted the bag with care, curiosity rising like the early morning sun and glittering in her eyes.

“Ariel had eggs? Oh, wow, that’s so exciting!”

Oh, she could hardly imagine the pure delight and excitement Selene and her pokemon must be feeling. Helping her own pokemon with eggs or simply raising an egg herself had been a hidden thought blooming in the back of her mind. The excuses and pressure of her lifestyle had helped block it out, but now it seemed it was out of her hands ( or technically in her hands now ).

“A popplio egg? F-for me?”

A part of Alola to take with her…oh, the idea warmed her chest and lit a sparkle of excitement within her. Popplio and its evolutions had captured her heart from the moment she’d seen them, and Alola had quickly become dear to her too. And now both would be with her, always.

She must not cry, she must not cry!

Taking a breath to steady her emotions, Lisia peered into the bag and carefully shifted her hold, soon discovering the beautiful headbands. She gasped, eyes jumping to Selene’s.

“Did you make these? They’re gorgeous! Wow, I can’t…wow, thank you so much!”

Happiness and affection built in her until the pressure had to be released. She set the bag down safely and stepped closer, throwing her arms around Selene as tight as she could.

“They’re absolutely amazing! You’re absolutely amazing. I’m gonna take such good care of this egg, I promise!”

Cruel reality whispered in her mind and questioned her ability to do so, but she ignored it for the moment, blocking it out with pure excitement.

send me a “…” and one of my muse’s pokemon will talk to you. (accepting)

Yes, it was her alright. Of all the people that dared to visit the canyon, it just had to be her. 

As he watches upon her, a lot of ｍｉｘｅｄ ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｓ wash over him. There is a hint of hate, distrust, a spoonful of distress ... And then comes in the reverence, the hint of admiration ... And 𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕖, too. Memories flow, and he can feel himself smiling, even if it isn’t an happy smile entirely .

“ It has been quite a while, 𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷. ” There is no hint of ᴍᴀʟɪᴄᴇ in his words as he speaks, as he stays calm and collected the whole time. “ As you can see I’ve decided to locate in the canyon, waitin’ for things to calm down and ... Figure things out. What about you, champion ? ”

Send ✓ for me to come up with a Pokemon team for your muse. Accepting!

Mega Lopunny! Ability: Klutz -> Scrappy

Moves:

Fake Out

High Jump Kick

Return

Power-Up Punch/Ice Punch/Quick Attack

Fast as heck with ears essentially being a third pair of limbs, this dancer-like pokemon is one of Selene’s main Megas and I’m gonna keep it that way. Her graceful style should be able to deliver powerful moves in ways that can throw her opponents off guard. I can just imagine her delivering a High Jump Kick as what looks like a dancing leap. The last move can vary depending on what is needed, but I like Power-Up Punch as Selene’s Lopunny has some surprising staying power. Also, Lopunny get’s Heal Bell, which could come in handy if Selene feels she’s weak to her pokemon getting hit by multiple status moves.

Klutz seems appropriate since Selene is the same way :P

Primarina! Ability: Torrent

Item: Choice Specs/ Mystic Water/ Z-Crystal

Moves:

Hydro Pump/Scald/Surf

Moonblast/Dazzling Gleam

Sparkling Aria/Scald

Ice Beam/Psychic/Energy Ball/Toxic/Substitute

Primarina has a lot of versatility and decent bulk, though lack of setup moves and rest as the only recover move means that she’s better as someone who uses a lot of attacks. Still, moves like substitute may be more useful in an arena that has an underwater part to it, toxic can be used to whittle down opoonents, and perish song can be a menace to stubborn trainers that will stay in (though as of now she can’t learn whirlpool). Rest/Sleep-talk set is also another interesting option. Given Lopunny’s flying weakness, Ice Beam might be the best coverage option for Primarina. 

Mimikyu! Ability: Disguise

Item: Lum Berry (I doubt Selene is interested in Life Orb)/ Z-Crystal

Moves:

Swords Dance

Play Rough

Shadow Sneak

Shadow Claw

Mimikyu is Selene’s second fairy on the team, but Mimi’s ghost typing allows her to cover Lopunny’s psychic weakness and Disguise is just amazing. I’d personally go with the standard setup sweeper set with Lum as a surprise way to deal with being hit by a status move. Will-O-Wisp and Destiny bond are also nice surprise options.

Ferrothorn! Ability: Iron Barbs

Item: Leftovers

Moves:

Stealth Rock

Leech-Seed

Gyro Ball/Protect

Power Whip/Knock Off/Protect

Ferrothorn is a pokemon with a crazy defensive typing, really only weak to fire and fighting, which has already been covered. Iron barbs is a free rocky helmet pretty much, meaning that this pokemon is great for slowly whittling down opponents and softening them up for Selene’s more powerful attackers. Stealth Rock is extremely helpful in dealing with Flying Types while Leech Seed is the reason why Ferrothorn is such a damn good wall. The last two moves can be reserved for STAB, Protect, or Knock Off to deal with pokemon that have items that Selene wants to get rid of.

Garchomp! Ability: Rough Skin

Item: Z-Crystal/Yache Berry/Choice Scarf

Moves:

Swords Dance/Stealth Rock/Stone Edge/Rock Slide

Earthquake/Earth Power

Outrage/Dragon Claw/Draco Meteor/Stone Edge/Rock Slide

Fire Fang/Fire Blast/Stone Edge/Rock Slide

Another versatile mon, Garchomp appreciate’s Mega Lopunny and Ferrothorn’s ability to deal with Ice Types, and with two Fairy types and two steel types on Selene’s team there is little to no worry about other fairies. Given this setup, Garchomp can do whatever she pleases once she’s in and her threats are dealt with. Out of all the pokemon on Selene’s team, I’d say Garchomp is the best candidate for Selene’s only Z-Move (without Rotom’s help that is), though Yache Berry is great for a surprise against an Ice Type, and Choice Scarf is an option for the rare pokemon that would outspeed her Mega Lopunny. Stealth Rock is an option if Selene wants Ferrothorn to run Spikes. As for the rest of the moves, Rock covers for Mega Lopunny’s Flying weakness, whereas Ground STAB and Fire work great for those various Steel Types that her fairies don’t like as much. Of course, Dragon STAB is also fantastic as well, and sometimes you just gotta have a good old Dragon v Dragon brawl.

 Skarmory! Ability: Sturdy

Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet

Moves:

Tailwind/Spikes/Stealth Rock/Counter/Protect/Toxic

Roost

Defog

Whirlwind/Toxic/Iron Head/Brave Bird/Endure/Protect

He laughs, a joyful sound as he stares down at the girl in his arms who he picked up princess style, adoring how flustered she was at his suddenness. He hums thoughtfully at her stuttered question, lips curling into a familiar smirk. “I felt like it, you’re cute, small and easy to pick up.”  

All true, that she was.
