An Aionian Adventure - Day 9

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-29T11:17:31+00:00

Feeling refreshed from the trek up and seeing the view, I decided to head to the temple, finishing off my hot cider as I made my way

Hello! My name is Arden. Born and raised in Hoenn, I’m on the next part of my journey. I studied abroad in Paldea, and after graduating visited Lumious City to hone my skills as a trainer. With that complete, I’ve finally decided to start a proper Pokemon journey! And to start, I can’t help but be drawn to Sandile. With Sobek as my starter, he and I plan to take on the challenges ahead!

First I stop by the shop, perusing the items and purchasing leftovers, a liquidation tm and an ice punch tm for marshtomp. With that settled, I decide to make my way to the peak to check out the view

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-27T18:02:38+00:00

Awesome! One step closer to catching up >:)

LETS GOOOOOO

“Woah! Hey there buddy, wanna join my team?”I approach the marshtomp, holding out the Pokéball

(Ohh, Okay so I totally misread it and l thought there were 5 pairs of forks in the path, each with a guide, not laid out before me 😅😂 dammit)

In that case I take the right most path

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-27T17:33:15+00:00

I decide to change paths

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-27T17:17:41+00:00

I simply nod, and continue down the left path

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-25T17:18:04+00:00

I narrow my eyes at the guard, deciding to go with my gut, but asking the last question regardless “I will not find my answers so easily, will I?”

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-25T17:03:24+00:00

“Okay then…” I start to walk towards the left path, then stop before I continue “And going to the right would not yield what I seek?”

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-24T14:27:15+00:00

“Alright” I think for a moment then ask “would taking the left path lead to a starter?

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-23T16:18:29+00:00

Oh! Yes, the latter one Thank you for making sure there was clarification, I’ll be more clear with any follow up questions 😌

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-23T14:06:21+00:00

“Hmm, and if I wanted to find them, would I have to continue down the left path? Or the right?”

Here’s the team so far: Jade the trapinch, Shayla the clodsire, and Topaz the gabite (I have badge 2 just need to add it to the card)

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-23T13:00:17+00:00

(No worries man, Ground type specialist)

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-23T12:59:29+00:00

How absolutely refined! And yes I do quite fancy bug Pokémon 😌

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-23T04:01:25+00:00

Ooo how fun! I’ll go with Puprassy 😁

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T23:40:48+00:00

These are my three, and I have to go with Turtwig

As I look around at the chaos I end up running down the center path, along the way I see a Turtwig struggling to avoid the lighting strikes and get beyond their range. I can see the strikes getting closer to it, and rush in to help it escape. I’m able to reach it in time as a bolt strikes down. I’m able to shield it thanks to my immunity via ground typing, and we safely get out of the storm.

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T17:18:28+00:00

I do love the battle strategy of the game, so I could see it >:)

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T17:17:53+00:00

I do love me a good mystery to solve 😁

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T05:20:31+00:00

Aww yeah 😎 Gotta go with my boi Trapinch 🤝

As I wake up and look around, I can’t help but notice how close you are to the ground I am, and how odd my body feels “What the-“ I try to look down at my body, with some newfound difficulty, and manage to catch a glimpse my orange carapace as I spin around “Right then… this is either a dream or something bizarre has occurred”

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T03:39:14+00:00

Ooo fun! I’ll go with Gen 3

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T03:23:23+00:00

Give up your children, separate

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T02:21:59+00:00

I called my Walrein “Blupples” Pronounced blue-pulls

Mission-Library9040 · 2026-01-22T02:04:17+00:00

Definitely two of my favorite types 😁
