Oldale Town. Is anything even there?

As a burger!

"#11— if you had to kill someone, could you?"

Um. That's an interesting question. Like, back against the wall.... what was the next question?

One big durant! Those little Usarings could nibble me up so quick.

To protect!

"#15— if you had to remove one city or town from hoenn, which one would it be?"

What would you do to keep your best friend?

When was the last time you had fun?

This questionnaire is answered ICly by Elise Calcifet and sent from the Galarian Ambassador's office from the Galarian Embassy.

Remiel Calcifet is my role model, he is someone that I look up to and he acts as a strong leader too.

"#2— your back's against the wall. you're down to your last pokemon. which pokemon is it, and why?"

If it were down to my last Pokémon, it would be my Mismagius. She has always been my loyal partner from my early days as a trainer.

"#3— what’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given? OR What is your favorite water-type?"
"

My favorite water type Pokémon is Spheal.

"#4— describe a new paradox pokémon. go crazy! the whackier the better!"

There is already the Paradox version of Misdreavus, so I'd like a Paradox Aegislash.

"#5— would you still love a loved one if they were a wurmple?"

Well yes, I would still love them if they were a Wurmple. I think they are adorable.

"#6— do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? if yes, what is it?"

There is a proverb that my father speaks very often which is "Don't cross a bridge before you get to them". It changed my life since I have always been worrying about everything and there are problems that I want to solve.

"#7— what's the biggest lie you've ever told?"

I wanted to be less selfless.

"#8— what big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"

I want to continue helping people as a medic in training and save lives.

"#9— who do you want to battle most, and why?"

There are so many people that I'd want to battle, but I'd want to battle Josh Devlin at some point as part of a training session for the upcoming conflict.

"#10— how do you like your steak?"

Medium rare.

"#11— if you had to kill someone, could you?"

It is not a question I would answer because I abhor having to kill or hurt someone.

I would rather fight an Ursaring sized Durant.

My last dream was a trip to my country where I was allowed to visit Galar after it has recovered.

My purpose is to make sure that I can help everyone without going on the side of fighting.

"#15— if you had to remove one city or town from hoenn, which one would it be?"

I can't answer that.

"Suggestion?"

If you had to pick one ghost type Pokémon, which one is your favorite and why?

This questionnaire is answered ICly by Gwendolyn Conway

"#1— do you have a role model? if so, who is it, and why?"

freya morningstar! She gave me a chance to prove myself and I've wanted to do her right since!

"#2— your back's against the wall. you're down to your last pokemon. which pokemon is it, and why?"

Magneton by far. He was the first one I ever got after getting tangled in the wires back home. He's got my back~

"#4— describe a new paradox pokémon. go crazy! the whackier the better!"

I'd love a Paradox Pokemon based on a Duskull! But it's a really fat one with a skull face on its belly!

"#5— would you still love a loved one if they were a wurmple?"

I'd love a robin coello Wurmple. She'd be an even better Beautifly!

"#8— what big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"

I'd want to make a bunch of places for flying-types and birds to hang out and rooster during severe weather.

"#9— Who do you want to battle most and why?"

Any Head Ranger! I bet ollie morales or noah faber would be a huge beast!

"Suggestion?"

What's one regret that you've never been able to get over?

"#1— do you have a role model? if so, who is it, and why?"

I would have to say my dad. That's rather childish though, isn't it? Still, he's a great person. He always fights for what he believes in, and he's helped more Pokemon than I can count. The fact that he was an Elite Four doesn't hurt. I can only pray I can be half the person he is one day.

"#2— your back's against the wall. you're down to your last pokemon. which pokemon is it, and why?"

Honestly, I wouldn't want any of them with me. They're my family, and it'd be selfish to put them at risk like that. It's how I lost Eva. Still, if I had to pick, I know Al will always be there. He's been with me since I took my first steps, and I trust him with my life.

"#3A— what’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given? OR What is your favorite water-type?"
"

My Aunt Jenna told me to act more flirty once. It terrified my husband to the point he recommended I get mental health treatment. In terms of best? My mom told me it's wrong to be with someone only because you think you can change them.

#3B - What is your favorite water-type?"
"

That's certainly a tough question. Water, flying, and ghosts are my favorite. I have to go with Mantine with Swampert following close behind. Then again, with Terastalization, any Pokemon can be water type, couldn't it?

"#4— describe a new paradox pokémon. go crazy! the whackier the better!"

I'm not the best at exercises like this. But I would love to see a stronger, more primeval Farfetch'd. I always feel bad for them. Everything under the sun picks on them, and it's heartbreaking.

"#5— would you still love a loved one if they were a wurmple?"

Of course I would! It might be hard to communicate at first, but we'd find a way. I've loved plenty of Wurmple in my time. Not like, well, not in a weird way. That'd be--can we go to the next question?

"#6— do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? if yes, what is it?"

There's a song by Caleb Hyles that talks about how your life isn't just yours. It really helped me out when I was at my lowest.

"#7— what's the biggest lie you've ever told?"

"I'm fine."

"#8— what big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"

I would love to help expand Pokemon Home one day. It's a wonderful initiative.

"#9— who do you want to battle most, and why?"

I'm not big on battling. In my line of work, you see the impact that kind of violence can have. Still, it's been ages since I tested my mettle against my dad. I'm curious how I'd measure up.

"#10— how do you like your steak?"

Plant-based! I don't actually eat meat. And, even if I did, a huge chunk of flesh just never seemed appetizing.

"#11— if you had to kill someone, could you?"

Probably not, no. No one's life is worth more than anyone elses.

"#12— would you want to fight one thousand durant sized ursarings or one ursaring sized durant?"

I'd rather tackle the oversized Durant. Size has very little impact on the strength of a Pokemon, I've found.

"#13— what was your last dream about?"

Well, I was one of those people stuck in the spaceship with Pecharunt. So, it was about a happier Ultra Megalopis. Which is a lot better than my typical dreams, honestly. Then again, it'd be wrong to call those anything more than nightmares.

"#14— what is your purpose?"

To be the kind of person my daughter will be proud of.

"#15— if you had to remove one city or town from hoenn, which one would it be?"

What sick person would make you do that? It's deranged.

"Suggestion?"

What do you think the afterlife's like?

"#1— do you have a role model? if so, who is it, and why?"

I take it the guy in the mirror doesn't count? If I had to pick, it'd be nonna. Considering how big of a piece of shit everyone else in the family is, she's a real light in the storm.

"#2— your back's against the wall. you're down to your last pokemon. which pokemon is it, and why?"

That'd be 15. He's saved my life once. And he's pretty good bait if something's hungry.

"#3A— what’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"
"

Worst? Some idiot told me to wear my heart on the sleeve. That's a pretty good way to get stabbed. As for best? Not to settle for being anything less than your damned self. We wear enough masks in life.

#3B - What is your favorite water-type?"
"

Arctovish. The thing looks dumb as hell.

"#4— describe a new paradox pokémon. go crazy! the whackier the better!"

I would want a futuristic Rattata. Something that doesn't steal all my bolognese sauce.

"#5— would you still love a loved one if they were a wurmple?"

Do I look like a bug fucker? Of course not. You guys are sick fucks.

"#6— do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? if yes, what is it?"

I'd rather not let my life be determined by some composer's coked out dream.

"#7— what's the biggest lie you've ever told?"

"I love you."

"#8— what big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"

Probably get back on stage again. Maybe finally refund the tickets from my Lumiose City show.

"#9— who do you want to battle most, and why?"

Anyone who pisses me off. I treat all of you equally.

"#10— how do you like your steak?"

Medium-rare, please.

"#11— if you had to kill someone, could you?"

Sure. I might even do it for fun.

"#12— would you want to fight one thousand durant sized ursarings or one ursaring sized durant?"

I'd go with the miniature Ursarings. They'd make a lot of money on the black market. Big bugs? Not so much.

"#13— what was your last dream about?"

I never really remember my dreams. But I did have a pretty trippy one last week. It looked like some David Bowie from the Labyrinth stuff.

"#14— what is your purpose?"

To bring some color to this dull ass place.

"#15— if you had to remove one city or town from hoenn, which one would it be?"

Littleroot. That idyllic shithole isn't contributing much. It's also home to a whole like five people.

"Suggestion?"

What's your favorite instrument?

Answers submitted by Mitsuru at 3am while drunk.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"
"dahlia goode. She such's a positive role model for children!"

"Your back's against the wall. You're down to your last Pokemon. Which Pokemon is it and why?"
"At that point? I would probably just give up..."

"What’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"
"One time I was told that love would "always work out" in the end... Haaaah."

"Describe a new Paradox Pokémon. Go crazy! The whackier the better!"
"Ooo! Okay, so, it's a Lotad, right? But it's one of the robot ones, and instead of having a lilypad? It's a solar panel! And you could call it, uhm, Iron Hat!"

"Would you still love a loved one if they were a Wurmple?"
"...Whuh?"

"Do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? If yes, what is it?"
"Don't worry, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, be happy, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ~ ♪"

"What is the biggest lie you've told?"
"That I'd stop drinking."

"What big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"
"I wish other people would try to bring a little more joy into my world for once..."

"Who do you want to battle most and why?"
"Well, I'm not much of a battler, buuuuut I'd love to meet ollie morales!"

"How do you like your steak?"
"Affordable."

"If you had to kill someone, could you?"
"No."

"Would you want to fight one thousand Durant sized Ursarings or one Ursaring sized Durant?"
"I wouldn't want to fight either! But if I had to... I think I could maybe outrun an Ursaring sized Durant."

"What was your last dream about?"
"I, er, I, u-uhm, I... H-hehehe... I, er, I, well, well, wellllll... N-no comment...?"

"What is your purpose?"
"Heck if I know!"

"If you had to remove one city or town from Hoenn, which one would it be?"
"I think if they removed Slateport and replaced it with a new city with cheaper rent that would be excellent."

"Do you have a suggestion for a future survey question? Please submit it below."
"Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?"

GENNY'S RESPONSES

Oh, hello! I'll list my answers here.

#1: "Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

"Oh course. I have a few that come to mind, before I got to Hoenn and recently. Before, it was Melody Miro, annalise henderson, Eva Morales, and PENELOPE LIVY. But especially recently, the biggest one that comes to mind is Michael Navidson and paxton concordas. Navy has this warm air to him, that reminds me of a father figure, and he's a good enough guy I bet he treats Melody right. And Officer Concordas is just really cool. He's unflinching, and protects Hoenn, no matter what. He's trained, and has helped me too. Oh, and of course, there's ollie morales. My Head Ranger. The sweetest man on the face of the planet. I guess the reason I have them as role models... is to be a better person myself. To reach their heights. And I can achieve that. I will."

#2: "Your back's against the wall. You're down to your last Pokemon. Which Pokemon is it and why?"

"That's a hard one. But one comes to mind that I use often enough. My Arcanine, Zagreus. He's been with me since he was a little Growlithe. He was in Dewford during all the fighting on the Route nearest. One of my oldest friends."

#3: "What’s the best and worst relationship advice you've ever received or given?"

"When I was a little girl, my mom would tell me about the concept of the one. There's a guy or gal out there for everyone. I don't know if I can believe that fully. And it's not unhappiness at my own boyfriend, I mean... what is the one? One argument, and suddenly they're not the one? It feels so toxic. Arguments are a part of a relationship, right?"

#4: "Describe a new Paradox Pokémon. Go crazy! The whackier the better!"

"Dragon Lapras! Like. It already looks like one! So why not? Big Drampa-sized dragon! You can make them fluffy!"

#5: "Would you still love a loved one if they were a Wurmple?"

"... yes?"

#6: "Do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? If yes, what is it?"

"'The warrior’s road is hard. But someone’s gotta walk. We see the ugly truth of the world so other people don’t gotta.' - Michael Navidson. Thank you for showing me the way, Sheriff."

#7: "What is the biggest lie you've told?"

"I remember a long time ago, I acted coldly towards lam logan in the tunnels. I thought I didn't need people after the dog incident. But... I do."

#8: "What big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?"

"End the Rocket threat? For starters? But... that's not feasible. You know, I want to sit down with the top brass in Rocket, and work out a potential compromise? Rocket is fully bad. The rehabilitation program is good. But we're smart, right? Maybe we can think of something to end the conflict... I know that's not fully possible though."

End Rocket and protect Hoenn... that's good enough."

#9: "Who do you want to battle most and why?"

"kyle lopez, lam logan, DESIREE BLOOMS, Yuina Higashi... and then some of those in Rocket. I want this war to be over. So I will rise as the shield."

#10: "How do you like your steak?"

"Um... well done? I think?"

#11: "If you had to kill someone, could you?"

"... I don't want to answer that."

#12: "Would you want to fight one thousand Durant sized Ursarings or one Ursaring sized Durant?"

"The one Durant. Zagreus would take it down."

#13: "What was your last dream about?"

"I saw myself in that mask... as a hero to Hoenn. Protecting all... I was burning. I saw the world I want... and the price I may have to pay to make it reality."

#14: "What is your purpose?"

"I am the Shield for Hoenn. I defend."

#15: "If you had to remove one city or town from Hoenn, which one would it be?"

"That's a really insensitive question."
