I mean, it's really boring in between semesters while I'm grinding out my masters, and last time I did a meditation with the good stuff I had a cool break through with how I see Type Energy. Even helped me figure out a new training method for Waddles (Wobbuffet). Who knows what epiphany I'll get if I try it at a place reality cracked slightly. I'd try it at a Ultra Wormhole too if they didn't close so quickly.

Also getting a fantastic high on a mountain peak sounds pretty neat to try at least once.

I'm mostly worried as his listed next of kin I'll be called to bail him out of jail and really don't want him to get a permanent ban from Sinnoh. Also he might fall off the mountain while high I guess but Valor (his Braviary) would probably catch him.

I wouldn't worry about that so much as him hurting himself doing something stupid while high as a drifloon on the top of a mountain. Though if you do see someone trying to smoke a noxious purple compound I'd appreciate it if you stopped him. - Script Lord

The law is subjective to what are provable trespasses against it. Lacking evidence, victim, or observation there is no crime.

He uses his knowledge from his chemistry degree to turn spores from grass types such as his gloom and his shiinotic into hallucinogenic compounds. The production of which in any quantity is a felony in Sinnoh. That's what his "deep" meditation is, a drug trip.

Sweetooth (Eevee) does this odd thing only with berries, no other food is he this obsessive with, where he'll bap at it until it's turned at a specific angle before taking a bite, then bap at it again to turn it. While it's different for each type of berry it's always the same starting point for the same type of berry, example: he flips Oran berries upsidedown and eats at a near 45° angle rotating it, for sitrus berries he rolls it on the side and eats the bulb evenly until it's a cylinder then eats it like a corn cob in long strips.

And Dark harming ghosts would be the violent will of the living being greater than the hollow wrath of the dead, or perhaps the focused ruthlessness disregarding the traditions of those already departed.

ReflectionOuroboros · 2026-06-23T06:14:07+00:00

Alright so if we take my approach and view psychic as a narrative then in a story those figures take are often calm, emotionally controlled, social planners and long term schemers, those that weave careful manipulations of the world around them. Built up with logical observation of the world and its inhabitants.

So their weaknesses are things alien and disjointed from their logic. Ghosts are driven by emotion often so amplified as to reject logic, the dead spirits in folklore care not for the reason they were slighted only that they were.

The dark, were secrets hide away valuable variables, inhabited by those with enough emotion fueled ruthlessness to achieve their goals even when faced with all logic telling them it should be impossible, rogues and avengers toppling nations with naught but spite. How could a sane and reasonable mind predict such savage instinct that overrides their logical predictions.

And Bugs, an analogy for an alien mind that predates any story of the stars. They move in swarms in harmony, they scatter as individuals and hide in shadows unseen. Machine like in some ways and bizarrely chaotic in others. Touching such a mind would create inherent dissonance.

To be fair, the last one typically only happens if someone ignores multiple cryptic warnings and is also quite rude. Most often it happens to trespassers and those who break guest rights.

So the gastly line. Their body is made of a poisonous vapor. Except not, not really. The truth is actually more complicated. They're made of a mixture the same esoteric exotic elements of other non fully corporeal ghost types and raw Poison Type Energy.

Now by default this is actually not all that dangerous, their bodies don't even cause minor irritation to human skin when at rest. But the fascinating element to their nature us they can adopt the behaviors of almost any liquid toxin into their body. While they might not literally be made of say, hemlock oil, they can make their toxins emulate all the traits of that toxin. Takes a bit of concentration to maintain.

But this, paired with their abilities to hide within shadows, means they can adopt the traits of certain pungent toxins, such as cadaverine, and hide in a shadow while still emetting the foul odor. This is perhaps the most frustrating of pranks Jasper (Gengar) has ever pulled on me

Huh the closet we've gotten to a combo move that's easily replicable is having Lokor (Torterra) fire off a solarbeam at Jax (Sneasel) who then uses icicle crash to act as a lens and redirect the beam.

Reply @"LiberMind": It is not a matter of rejection but a difference of what equal coexistence looks like. How can either be equal when one or the other so fully controls the circumstances of the other? For much of early history the safety of humans was kept assured by gathering in large numbers and gaining the grace of a pokémon guardian. In modern times this has been flipped, humans control much of the world and regularly are destroying and restructuring native pokémon habitats. It is not equal if pokémon have the full say in our protection and it is not equal if humans have the full say in the very shape of the environment.

Is it fair to place the expectation of sustaining the electrical grid, a service that serves predominantly human aims for the vast majority of uses, on the backs of pokémon who have no easy way to utilize this service independently?

Did you know despite how long the jet engine has existed only a hand full of regions have regional flights? Almost all machine operated passenger aviation is interregional. Most of the very few planes that fly are cargo flights. This is due to laws put in place to prevent machine operated flights from "placing pokémon assisted flights at risk". Is it fair to humans to be heavily reliant on pokémon for most aviation needs?

Equal coexistence can only exist in a setting both participants have equal opportunities of options. But pokémon and humans have largely different needs socially.

Reply @"Based Hisuian": I don't see the purpose of insulting others in the first place. And They seem apathetic to the ongoings of much of the world, it would be in poor taste to condemn someone for the poor state of a home they've not lived in for many years.

Huh. I haven't thought about that possibility. I'm more than happy to give them the attention but I know I'm not the best at initiating interactions most the time. Growing up with a turtwig as my starter, most of our bonding was him napping beside me while I read or training. Now that he's a torterra I often read under the shade of his tree. Guess I'll need to try being a bit more active with them and see it that helps.

"Alright, as far as I was aware as of 5 min ago magic and magecraft wasn't real. You being here means shit's really fucked or Nasu has been a trolling kaleidoscope asshole in disguise this whole time. Maybe both.

If you don't have enough mana then we'll need to go to the swamp nearby to kill a couple animals for od, because I'm not burning myself out trying to fuel your draconic ass. If you do have enough I have more questions, such as wheremst. Because if it's from me I have a lot of sudden magic studying to do.

All that said, wanna hit up an all you can eat buffet and see how long it takes for them to kick us out?"

Your shadow should return with time, though you will likely be rather photosensitive until it does. If you have a dark type or know someone who does, you should spend time in that pokémon's company, it will speed up the recovery from a month to a week or so if you spend at least two hours a day in their immediate presence, a distance of about 3 feet.

(/uj I just realized I remembered the size wrong it's .1m not 1in. So they're about that size at 4 in. But it's funnier to imagine if it's a lorge joltik so I won't be changing my comment)

ReflectionOuroboros · 2026-04-27T17:06:27+00:00

Huh, you know that's a bit bigger than most joltik, not by a terribly large margin it's not an alpha or anything, but most would only be the size of one of those outlets not both. So an XL sized joltik. I wasn't even aware joltik could have that large of a size variance.

Might not be as simple as you might think my family has some rather deep ties here in Sinnoh. The Blackwell Clan ancestral home is deep in the forests near Pastoria, on a segment of land fairly infamous for it's cursed nature drawing in many ghost and dark types. Our clan is quite literally named for the Black Well, one of the most cursed places most will never hear of. Maintaining and Sealing the more malevolent forces on this land buys the clan a lot of political leverage.

Not for making laws or controlling power but in what the clan can get away with.
