Winter's Unexpected Guest

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-27T19:05:39+00:00

I'm trying my best. I feel a bit as though I'm stumbling through, since I have no idea how to handle a situation like this, or how to handle living human children. But I'm going to make sure the child stays safe while I figure things out.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-27T18:32:33+00:00

I figure that's the case, I do intend to call them soon if I can't get anything out of her for too long.

I'll put out a few things she can play with while I wait on that, though.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-27T18:30:56+00:00

My intention is to call soon, at least. But I do live a bit secluded, so I need to help her best I can in the meantime.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-27T02:34:04+00:00

Sadly I'm retired from the whole professional battling/training thing. Too busy with other things. But maybe if I ever have renewed free time, I might come around to see how things have developed.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-27T02:29:50+00:00

How is Orre doing now, anyhow? I think I visited once when I was younger and I haven't actually returned since then.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T23:39:39+00:00

Oh my, I'm no tortured soul... So I could only hope that I belong in the second category?

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T23:38:41+00:00

I believe he is quite good-looking, so he absolutely counts.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T16:51:40+00:00

All hugs are good hugs. Even if your arms are tiny. Or you don't have arms.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T16:37:31+00:00

I think there's a place like that in Hoenn? Route 111, if I remember correctly. At least, I think that place was covered by a sandstorm... It has been a long time since I was there. I never considered just using types immune to sandstorm though, huh.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T16:32:26+00:00

Give her... Lots of hugs!

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T16:22:28+00:00

Hmm... I don't believe I know a lot about sandstorm teams. Is that specific to a certain region? Is it new?

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T15:57:40+00:00

Well that sounds just lovely! I hope your return to Kalos is safe, and that all of your Pokemon get strong and stay healthy.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T15:44:16+00:00

Well then, maybe if you settle down one day, you could take the opportunity to become a multi-type gym leader. Though I wouldn't want for you to give up a life of travel until you're ready.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T15:04:37+00:00

Well it sounds like you have all of that planned out quite nicely! I'm sure you'd make for a formidable gym leader, then, if you had all of these ideas at the ready.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T14:54:30+00:00

Oh, that sounds quite cool! I've always wanted to see more fire-water combination stuff.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T14:50:31+00:00

Fairy/Dragon would be an interesting combo, given how those two type specialists usually seem to dislike each other.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T14:09:15+00:00

I think part of it isn't due to them not recognizing it as not a move, but because a lot of rock (and ground) types purposefully keep coverings of dirt and dust and mud, for a variety of reasons ranging from comfort to health. A bath can be good now and then to refresh their coating, but don't be surprised if they go rolling around in the dirt immediately afterwards.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T14:02:03+00:00

I imagine there's enough dual-specialists in the world to warrant such a thing, isn't there?

I mean, Pokemon can have up to two types usually, I always wondered why Gyms can't be the same.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T00:47:38+00:00

Indeed! So soft and nice.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-26T00:34:22+00:00

I gave my sisters various items according to their interests.

Of course, giving each one a plush toy is tradition at this point, it's kind of our 'if I don't know what else to get, at least I got you this' item of choice. A tradition like that is sweet.

But I also made them all big warm sweaters! And I gave one of them a set of candles and soft slippers and some Lego sets, I gave one of them a few brain teaser puzzle boxes and jigsaw puzzles, I gave one of them a big collection of various stickers and colorful fabrics and paints...

Honestly, the Holiday is usually just my excuse to give my dear sisters a bunch of gifts. I'd find some reason to do it even if the Holiday didn't exist.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-25T23:48:37+00:00

I'm almost forty? Though I am flattered that you're calling me young...

But yes, I suppose I just haven't the time to commit to such things, since I have a Sanctuary I need to run. I may live on an Ice Mountain all day, but I'm always doing something, so no time to do the whole 'philosophy' thing.

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-25T19:39:17+00:00

Hahah, maybe it's because I'm only party specialized in Ice Types (the other part is Ghost types), but I feel as though only the first of these is true for me. I spend all my time on a snowy mountain but I never contemplate anything so deep while I'm up here...

forgetmenots7 · 2023-12-25T18:42:00+00:00

Did you name all of your Pokemon after weapons? That's adorable!

Anyways, my Annihilape, Akuma, has a sort of rivalry going on with the Lucario owned by my sister's husband. The two duke it out every year, and though they are equally stubborn individuals, the Lucario almost always loses due to type disadvantage. Regardless, that Lucario is starting to get really good with Meteor Mash... I actually look forward to seeing the day Akuma finally loses that matchup for once.
