“Look, everyone has those special Pokémon they immediately form a bond with, and one of yours just happened to be the cute little garden hedgehog,” he would hum.

“Not bad performance out there, too, although…” he would trail off, a mysterious look on his face. He wondered about something specifically, and would leave it at that, for the moment.

Right now, though, the Milotic meant business; and so the Salamence would roar his challenge their way; before summoning an avalanche of Rock Slide boulders in an attempt to block the incoming attack while he flew forward!

Time to bring the fight to them, as the old saying went.



Salamence is out on the field!

Salamence used Rock Slide as a shield before closing the distance to bring the battle to the Milotic!

Before his cell partner is whisked away for the ‘Laughing Hour’ (an event he does not want to relive because of the psychological implications it held) he would hiss to Zach, “I’ll try to find out Pokémon in that… in the strange dreamscape. I’ll update you when I get word. Or news.”

He would spend the rest of the day dreading every single thing (but the ‘Laughing Hour’ part is undeniably the worst) that they have to go through; however at the end of the day he would always insist for his cell companion to take the bed.

“Rest. You’ll need it. I’ll take care of whatever else I can.”

And even he would go to sleep after standing guard—the only escape they have in this wretched, forsaken place.



The moment he awakened in the strange ‘metropolis’, the first thing he would do is to hit the ground running, quite literally. He knew that there were others in the same ward who were also in this place; but his priority for now was to locate both Zach’s and his own Pokémon—wherever they were.

The macabre ‘shop’ displays would pass by in a blur—however, there would be stretch where he would locate a Delphox—and not too far away, a Xatu and an Oranguru.

The strangeness of the structures—no matter how hard he would try to break the glass—would not yield under his hands.

Not too far from the three Pokémon, he would be able to find a Kadabra, a Mime Jr., and… was he imagining it, or was the ‘display’ near this group of Pokémon… empty?

Wait, wait.

The fact that he’d managed to find five of his companion’s six Pokémon was already a win in and on itself; and so he would attempt to commit to memory this location… because they were going to be here for a while; and hopefully he would be able to bring Zach along so that the other could see that his Pokémon companions were alright.

As for his own companions—it wouldn’t take too long for him to find an absolutely monstrous-sized ‘display’, and stuck behind the glass was…

“…Kaguya?!” he would exclaim, looking up at the sheer ridiculousness of the size of this ‘corner’; however the incredibly tiny ‘display’ not too far from where he would find his ‘moon princess’ would strike the fear of dread right into his blood, for it was…

“Zelle… Zelle!” he would shriek, out of breath as he ran over; he was more than certain that the Phione trapped behind the display was none other than the original shit-disturber he owned before all the Wooloo family came rolling into his life.

“Come on… what the fuck…” he would hiss, looking around for something, anything to try and smash the glass and get the little troublemaker out. She didn’t deserve to be here—in fact nobody deserved to be here…

(Of course he would find the rest of his Pokémon; even the Stormbringer himself was trapped in one of those macabre ‘displays’…)

But where were all their things? Why couldn’t anyone find them?!

He would spend the first few nights of the dream trying to formulate something, anything to break their Pokémon free…
And trying to come up with something, anything to bust their Pokémon out and deliver unholy revenge against the ‘booger monkey’ that was demeaning them no matter what resistance they all put up in the waking world…

Okay, how did his knowledge of fictional fae lore go—if one gave their name, then they would have control… but what if it happened in the opposite direction?

Had someone taken the Queen’s name too, and left them trapped in here?

Oh, he was sorely tempted to ask another question back; however he held his tongue, all things considered.

“…someone took your name too, am I right?” he inevitably said what was on his mind; hoping that he wasn’t going to get banished to some pocket dimension the moment those words left his lips.

‘Oh no… why did you ask that?!’

“I can’t help it! The way they worded their story, it’s just—for one to get stuck here so long, it’s inevitable—someone must’ve taken their name too and left them here!”

Or was he becoming too self-aware at this point?

Either way…

“Well. That’s half the fun of living. You don’t know what kind of hand you’re going to get dealt, all things considered. So… whatever’s waiting for me out there? I’ll face it no matter what the world throws at me. Because, isn’t going into the unknown half the adventure in the first place?”

The smallest of laughs escaped him.

“And for the record, do you want my true name, or my nickname? I do have several names…”

He would not break, he would not break.

Holy shit he would definitely not break. But this was too much! How he’d managed to stay sane after all this time was a miracle in itself before he realized—

Wait, he’d been through worse before!

Either way…

“Come on, let me help you up,” he would guide his cellmate companion Zach to their feet before the water came pouring down—were they really being treated like animals at this point?

(He’d had worse, but of course he wouldn’t admit to this.)

Sputtering and hissing like a wet cat, the water does little to comfort him—he was already helping out his companion the best he could—despite the torrential water, everything comes to an end all too quickly and they’re herded through… another unfamiliar area.

Those ‘tubes’ look to be extremely unsettling (the entire place was if he was going to be honest) and the next part of the journey was disorienting…

…it was like they were traversing the innards of some ugly beast, if he was being honest.

Eventually, they return to their holding cell, and it takes him all of his power to make his companion take the bed, because unlike him, Zach looked to be in an even worse state than he did.

“I insist,” he would quietly hiss as he made the other take the singular ‘bed’ in their holding cell. “I’m fine. You need it more than I do.”

With that, he would stand guard…

…but even he would fall asleep, at some point.

And not realize just where he’d ended up in the moment he connected the dots and saw that they were no longer in their holding cells.

Time is but a mixed-up perception now, it seemed.

Eggtra Delivery Runs [M]
POSTED ON Apr 26, 2024 19:20:14 GMT

He knew that was off busy somewhere doing Arceus-knew-what (love you boo) and so he had some spare time on his hands.

Moment word got out that there were eggs to be had once again (oh no) and that it was delivery time, he… for a few moments he let out the tiniest little noise of a scream because holy eggs, were the Pokémon up to no good again?!

So now he found himself accompanying Miss Elise, seeing as she had… aww, cute!

“You have very cute companions,” he would smirk her way; before realizing that his own Pokémon companion stood almost as tall as he did just a little ways behind them—it was Ravana, his Charizard.

(And look how preened she was!)

“Can I have the piece of paper so I can look,” he asked, while holding out his hand for aforementioned piece of paper. Hopefully, with their travelling speed they would be done in a few hours!

It wouldn’t take them too long to eventually arrive at the throne room themselves, huffy not-Carina riding on his shoulder and ready to throw barbs when they both saw the ruler themselves—

And for a moment, it was like he was looking into ’s Hatterene…

He had to fight down the little bubble of emotion that was threatening to bubble up and pop out of him, so there was that.

“Before I give my answer for your question… I have a question of my own as well.”

‘Oh no, here we go…’

“Have you tried talking to your subjects? If they really, trule like what they’re doing?” he would run his mouth for a bit because well, that cute little Joltik (the one with the snot bubble) felt like they would always get in trouble, and the not-Tornadus also looked like they wanted to get out of there…

Or maybe that was just him overthinking things again.

“Well, my answer to your question would be… if you can come back and forth to it as you would please, then why not have the option to do such a thing?”

There is a scowl on his face (though thankfully the mask hides it) before… well, as expected, since they were the ‘weak’ ward after all, thhings would not be so hot.

For starters, his cellmate companion wanted to deliver vengeance at the drop of a hat almost immediately, however he would try to keep the other man distracted—or at least, focused on not rushing into things too quickly.

“Look, it’s going to be on you if you do something reckless,” he would whisper as quietly as he could manage, because he knew the walls had ears, “…so please, please try to hold it in, okay?! When there’s an opportunity, then we can move. For now, though, we have to follow what they want us to do!”

And apparently, this included being on clean-up duty. Nothing too hard with simple ‘clean-up’, right?

Well, that was until he got his hands on some of the mochi—and the rank stench of blood hit his nostrils. He also had a feeling that the ‘mochi’ wasn’t as what it looked to be, all things considered—why did it stink so much of blood, then?!

“Ugh,” he would grumble, the stench literally etching on the inside of his nose. Good luck getting the smell out of there, right?

Luck was on his side, and thankfully, there was something that he’d managed to avoid getting hit—before he flinched as his companion got a full-force attack on himself… yikes.

“Be careful—hey, are you okay?!” he would ask the other man once he’d thrown the handful of mochi into where it needed to go before trying to help him get back on his feet.

“Come on, let’s get you away from… from whatever the hell hit you.”

They finally had a day to themselves that wasn’t in Fortree—because all things considered, when they were in Fortree and wanted a day of their own they would just end up hiding in the flat on the grounds, being total lizards and not coming out unless they needed food or were picking up deliveries.

“You know I have something to say, but I won’t say it—let’s enjoy the scenery as it is.”

He then snuck a sip from his own milkshake; never mind if he hadn’t finished fully mixing in the whipped cream with the chocolate body of said milkshake yet.

This was going to be either really fast, or a drawn-out match; because all things considered there was something coming, and he immediately pulled out the flecked metallic bird whistle.

(No, he was not going to Mega Evolve! At least not yet anyway.)

Rather than touching the strange keychain charm that hung off it (which was where his Key Stone was) he blew exactly one note; unheard to all but the Salamence, who immediately bellowed before calling up a sudden avalanche of boulders in the form of a Rock Slide attack!

An attempt to block the incoming attack was made; but would it hold?



• Salamence is out on the field; and used Rock Slide as a blocking / shielding attempt against the incoming Infestation attack!

Since he was going head-to-head with one of the top contenders in the VCT event that had concluded some months previous, he knew he had to bring his best A-game to the match.

(He was wondering if he was going to get a chance to fight the ‘cupine’ the other used as their entrant Pokémon there, since he’d gone into the danged thing with his shiny Braviary.)

“First time to meet in a ‘private’ setting like this, but I’ve heard about your run in the tournament that happened at Lilycove a few months back,” he would quip, “…with, of all things, a Shaymin.”

His eyebrows went up slightly when he instead came face to face with a Milotic rather than the Shaymin he’d heard rumors about… but he idly wondered if the other had that particular Pokémon on their person waiting in the back.

“You’re going up first against him,” he would remark as his own Salamence, swooping down from the skies and roaring from across his side of the open-air arena, would take his position.

“Ready when you are. Challengers get the first move.”

Maybe it was a good thing he hadn’t taken a Tera shard, because the next few scenes that unfolded pretty much dissuaded him from doing so—and what a nightmare it had been. Like, yikes.

He couldn’t bear to watch; and could only listen to the sound because that’s what having an overly active imagination can get you… extremely vivid visuals based from the sounds of agony and suffering alone.

He could only look over at his cell partner; once they were done being dragged through the dirt (in more ways than one) he would approach, and then hiss quietly.

“Listen—listen to me,” he would begin, in a voice so quiet that only the other could hear—muffled through the mask as it was.

“D-don’t do stupid shit like that again, you got that?!” he would warn the other.

Even though he was raring to throw a punch or two, fact of the matter was that the ‘space cannibals’ were there, like hyperly-overactive sentinels keeping watch over them.

He could only glare at the booger monkey once the strange Pokémon was done with his cell partner, before trying to haul him back so that he could rest.

“If you’re going to do anything else stupid, at least try to run it by me first, will you? There was a reason why we were both stuck together in this place.”

He grit his teeth.

“We only have each other to trust in this hellhole, you know.”
