✧ POKEMON MULTIMUSE RP BLOG. As told by NEBULA (they/she, 25+). A fan of character-building or story-driven threads that go places, but simple & fun stuff that's enriching is just as good. All characters share the same setting / space / time, like they're all going about their lives as the earth spins. All characters follow the games by default (they're the easiest medium to follow for me), some may have alternate verses.

ASK PROMPTS. (sentence starters never expire!)

WAYS TO INTERACT WITH ME:

I rarely do starter calls, so asks are the best ways to jumpstart an interaction!

You can also send in a prompt from an ask meme, and we can continue off of that.

I do write opens occasionally, and they never expire!

If nothing else, I always welcome plotting invitations from mutuals, but do try to have at least one idea in mind before asking me to talk! There have been too many moments where someone wants to plot, but then they say the "Idk I didn't think I would get this far" line. Funny but not helpful!

> ref. // in writing those tags it dawned on me how old this blog is consecutively. some years were dead in the water from inactivity since i was in other fandoms, and was coming to grips with how i've presented myself in the community + how i chose to become ride-or-dies for certain people (who aren't in pokerpc / on tumblr anymore i should stress) i really shouldn't have. but i think early 2025-ish is when i started trying to make a serious comeback.

shoutout to the ppl who were around back when it was just mew, celebi, jirachi, and shaymin on the roster. yall my day ones lmao

Rui's phone beeps. [txt]: A hotdog is just a taco if you really think about it. -Axel (flocessyranch)

It was dawning on her how unserious this man was capable of being. Good thing she could match that energy.

She managed to keep a mostly straight face for the moment, looking at her screen.

Hard work is not Drayton's style. If he could have wiggled his way out of this, then he would have. At least, that's what he would have normally done, but it's different this time around since it concerns his own Pokemon.

Archaludon needed to be cleaned up after a battle, the steel-dragon type having gotten hit with some ground moves and left it dirty. A particular Mud Shot had left a hard to scrub off stain. Leaving this in someone else's hand would be preferred, but...this is his Pokemon. He knows them best and he's certain that his ace would prefer him over someone else cleaning him up.

"Yeesh, next time I'm makin' Kingdra use Rain Dance to help," he sighs. It's not a bad idea to use it now, but he doesn't want other students to deal with the rain and snow in the Polar Biome. Even if he's fine with the cold weather, most aren't.

His ears perk up when he hears someone approach. Might as well try his luck if he can get some help, right? He's already cleaned up most of his Archaludon anyway, but help would be appreciated.

"Yo! Mind helping out the Drayster? I bet ya can get some points if ya do."

Cold environments were not her usual stomping grounds. Even with how much she's bundled up in her coat and mittens, the chill was still creeping in. Alysa figured she could knock out a Polar Biome-exclusive quest and another that could be completed in it as well at the same time, taking a photo of a wild pokemon in the biome and another of one swimming, then hustle to someplace warmer…until a small group of wild, hostile Beartic caught her in their sights.

One frantic battle with two of her team defending her later, the girl was left feeling a little overstimulated. Her pokemon were in need of a healing machine visit as well. The Polar Plaza was nearby, so that's where she was headed now. On her way though, she drew close to an interesting sight: a certain notable member of the battling club she joined recently, who was with his Archaludon.

❝…Drayton?❞ Alysa approached the pair, curiosity winning after he called out. He needed help cleaning his pokemon she would assume. How could she decline that? Her following response was somewhat meek.

❝Uh…sure. I don't mind. What do you need me to do?❞

Relic Forest has always had this feeling of mystique for as long as Rui can remember. Perhaps it’s because of this that two different worlds can converge at the same point in time by chance.

On this day, Rui ventured to Relic Forest to check on the Relic Stone and the surrounding area per her duties. Instead of a peaceful moment as expected, she is met with the surreal image of her own face.

“You’re… me?” she murmurs uncertainly, blue hues blinking back as she pauses in both surprise and confusion. Giving herself a mental shake, Rui urges herself to go on the defensive, recalling a time in the past when Wes’s identity was stolen by Cipher to get revenge on him. She cannot rule out a potential repeat just yet.

“No, that can’t be right," she shakes her head. Right? She frowns at the doppelganger. “Who are you? Did Cipher send you?”

@apocryphall (Rui) / sc.

[apocryphall]

It only lasted for a single second. A shift in the air, a different sway of the foliage around her. Rui had noticed it, but it didn't stay upon her mind as anything worth attention. She had continued on her brief walk through the forest as per usual, soon finishing her lap and stepping before the Relic Stone once more. With a smile and bow, she would silently say her temporary farewell to Celebi before her next visit sometime soon…

That is until she heard footsteps, causing her to turn. Someone else had arrived on the scene, and someone with a very familiar face at that. Rui was slammed by disbelief. A mirror reflection stared back, but not one that was a perfect copy. The deviations hinting at this not being a mere creation of her overactive mind only made the hair on her neck stand up.

❝Wha- Cipher?❞ The other Rui's words had a stunning effect, one that was washed over by her rising apprehension. She too recalled when an imposter of Wes went around to harass many people across Orre, a petty plot to try and get back at him one last time. Was it her turn now?

❝I should be asking YOU that!❞ She turned to face the stranger, frustration twisting her face. The memory of that peon defeating her grandfather in this very spot, then attacking Wes next, was fresh still. She couldn't let the Relic Stone come under harm in the slightest. ❝This place has already been desecrated by those creeps before, and I'm not gonna let it happen again! What business do you have here?❞

If Aly's parents were actually responsible, there was zero chance they would've let her raise a Bagon and a Deino. Unsupervised. And she did send them the occasional update while she was traveling around Kalos, so they knew what pokemon she had on her team. (Despite them being unable to enforce anything with she not present at home, she still would've not trained them if they told her not to.)

She could've gotten severely hurt at any point and they would've been none the wiser. Fortunately Alysa is built different and raised them just fine, some inflicted bites and scratches notwithstanding.
