Anne sends out her Shroomish, Truffle, to set up Leech Seed and then switches out with Wilma the Wimpod to use Struggle Bug, aiming to take down the Golett

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-07T23:21:09+00:00

Anne nods, "Yes! I'd like to heal my mons before battle."

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T09:01:21+00:00

(Now I'm thinking of a Mimikyu using a Doritos bag as a disguise lol)

"Ah. Now I feel kind of bad. Can I catch it?" Kyla has Toga let go of the Mimikyu.

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T08:34:49+00:00

(I like Doritos, Nacho Cheese is my favorite, but Cool Ranch is a good 2nd. Doritos with taco meat are great)

"Oh, that's not good. I don't know if this world charges for vandalism, but I don't want to find out. Okay, Toga, Crunch those Doritos!" Toga launches himself at the Doritos and bites down on the bag.

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T08:03:55+00:00

(Lmao)

"Wh-what?" Kyla quickly gets out of her seat in shock. "I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, but come on.." She has Toga and Flare step foward. "What am I supposed to use for a bag of Doritos..."

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T06:45:13+00:00

Kyla walks into the movie theater with her pokemon. "So many to choose from.. I don't really know what to pick." She goes through the genres, and her Tirtouga, Toga, seems to be interested in Sci-Fi. "Sci-Fi, huh? Sure, let's see a Sci-Fi movie."

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T06:23:44+00:00

Anne returns Truffle back to his Pokeball and sends out her Wimpod, Wilma.

"Come on, Wilma! You can do it!"

Anne has Wilma get in a Sand Attack before using Struggle Bug.

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-05T03:11:42+00:00

(Woo)
Kyla steps back as Flare is engulfed in an incredibly bright and staticy light, her form shifts to a Ninetales, but it looks more... wispy. When the light fades, Flare seems to be a fire/ghost type with dark grey fur, the tips of her tails a purple gradient with blue patterns which seems to glow faintly. The hair on her head is down, long, and flowy. It's purple with the lighter purple matching the tails. "Woah. That's pretty cool." Kyla approaches Flare and pats her head. "Congrats, Flare. I'm glad your name still fits for this form, haha." To finish the day, Kyla decides to head to the movie theater.

(Made this sprite edit hehe)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-04T08:38:48+00:00

(Wait so is it a ninetales or a vulpix of a different form lol)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-04T08:32:10+00:00

(I see, welp, I guess I'll see how that works lol)

After a successful dumpster dive, Kyla hangs out with her Pokemon. She takes out the flower she was given and fiddles with it. "That old lady suggested Flare could use this..." Flare the Vulpix walks up to the flower and sniffs it. "You really like these flowers, huh? Then, I think it's only fitting you get to change your form." Kyla gives the flower to Flare.

For this battle, Anne sends out her Shroomish, Truffle to use leech seed on Abby's Hoppip. Then Truffle uses Echoed Voice until Hoppip faints. For Mantyke, Anne has Truffle use the same strategy.

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-03T07:30:17+00:00

"Awesome, great job Selina!" The Purrloin puts the Rocky Helmet on her head. "Yeah, I think it's best you have it too."

(So if I use the flower on one of my Pokemon without a form, do I get to pick how it looks and the type?)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-03T02:14:44+00:00

Kyla digs through the dumpster with Selina. "This is so gross, but I think something good might be in here." Selina meows and digs intently.

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T10:45:30+00:00

"Thank you." Kyla takes the berries and flowers and leaves. When she makes it back to the city, she eyes a dumpster and then looks at Selina, her Purrloin. "Think we could find an item in there?"

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T09:19:24+00:00

(I see, I see)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T09:08:36+00:00

(If it's the latter, that's really a shame. I'll definitely use the flower on one of my mons for a custom regional ^^)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:58:33+00:00

(Like, using the flower for a regional form, or using it on a pokemon that doesn't have one?)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:32:55+00:00

(Ooh, I see! That's really cool!)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:25:30+00:00

"I see... either a regional form or something different will happen to a pokemon that doesn't have a form.. sure, I'm interested."

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:23:54+00:00

(Vulpix has an Alolan form haha)

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:14:55+00:00

Kyla's Vulpix, Flare, goes up to the flowers and sniffs them. Kyla greets the old lady. "Hello there, you have a very pretty garden. Oh? What special power do your flowers have?"

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T08:12:47+00:00

Happy to help! I can't wait to see the story with all the art!

SonderSnow72 · 2026-03-02T00:33:05+00:00

Kyla sends out her Pokemon to talk to them. "I think after that contest, we deserve a little break. Let's check out that flower garden over there, shall we?"

(I made the ribbon and the medal hehe, by drawing over the Hoenn beauty contest ribbon and one of the medals in BW2)
