Jasmine@Daryl: Waitttt a second... so if you're the pup's dad, that means the mother was a Houndour or 'Doom, right?? Two lovers, separated by a line between two worlds- wild and civilization... how romantic...! ... but... it's probably hard on your kid, huh? Being caught wondering where they belong...
I worry about her everyday…
And regardless of where their mom was from my pup belongs here on the farm with me. There’s no reason for anyone to think otherwise.
The Dratini looked shocked to see the Houndour, “O- oh. I thought you were one of those pups from my home…” She looked tempted to sit next to the houndour and warm up but looked on ahead of her. “I- I don’t know where I’m going. Mamma just told me to get as far away as I could.” She started to shake and shiver a bit. “I- I just miss my Mamma!” She sobbed.
It’s okay to miss your mamma... If you’re really sad and scared I’m sure she wouldn’t mind you going back to find her.
Oh! But if she’s the one that asked you to go somewhere maybe it’s just something like a game? Like tag or hide and seek! She’ll definitely come and find you and that’s not so bad, even if it is cold out.
Or, or! Maybe you can pick somewhere you want to go and make this into an adventure instead? That way you know where you’re going and then when you get there you can celebrate having got there! Because that’s what adventurers do when they get to where they wanted to go!
puppy is innocence incarnate, but mr. hot dad is hot...
Charti, what’s ‘innocence’ mean? Can I get in trouble for it?
….
….
It means ‘cute’, Pup, so you don’t need to worry about getting in trouble. You’re fine the way you are, innocence incarnate and all.
(MR.HOT DAD IS HOT? BUT HE’S SO SCRUFFY AND OOOOOOOOOOOLD AND WAIT UNTIL I RUIN PUP’S CHILDHOOD, I mean, GIVE THEM A GREAT ADVENTURE- THIS IS OOC IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I SAY HERE COUGHCOUGH)
Nalusa@Puppy: Oh, so your Granny spoke tales of your mother, did she? What sort of tales did she tell? What was your mother like in those?
Granny told me a whole bunch of them!
There was the one with the fearow and the one with the drilbur and the one with the goat chase and the one with the ursaring, and a ton more! The ursaring is my favorite though because mom was really smart in it and got the fighting to stop.
Oooh! I’ll tell it to you!
One day mom went with her family to the berry patch that was in their territory. When they got there a great big ursaring stood up roared at them!
Granny was quick to jump to her pup’s and territory’s defense! She leapt forward with a fire burning in her mouth and met the Ursaring head on!
But mom knew that this was a battle that didn’t need to be fought and as Granny battled the Ursaring mom looked around to see what she could do to stop the fighting. She noticed that in the bushes behind the Ursaring some cubs were hiding and she realized why the bear wasn’t running away.
Then she did the one thing that none of of her siblings would have tried; she talked to the cubs.
I dunno why mom’s siblings wouldn’t try talking to the cubs but Granny told me that that’s just not how things are done in the woods. It seems really scary living like that.
Anyhow!
Mom learned from the cubs that the Ursaring would try to leave if given the option. Their mom was only fighting to protect them like Granny was fighting to protect her pups.
Mom bravely stepped into the fight and told this to Granny. At first Granny didn’t believe her but then she noticed that the Ursaring wasn’t trying to attack anymore.
Once the fighting was over the Ursaring was quick to find her cubs and leave. And that’s the story of how Mom stopped Granny and the Ursaring from hurting each other over a problem that wasn’t really a problem!
And I want to do that too! Even when I get strong like Dad and Ma and Granny I don’t want to hurt anyone. I want to be like my mom was.
Hey Charti, do you know anything about Pup's mother?
Pup really took all of us, minus Daryl I guess, by surprise. None of us here on the farm had suspected that there was a romance going on between them.
As for what I do know, it really isn’t much.
Since she never ventured too far into the farm I really didn’t ever get to talk to her myself. She was pretty big news around the farm pokemon when she first showed up though, and given that this place doesn’t get much big news it didn’t take long before we all knew about her.
Daryl was always kind of tight lipped about her but the miltank loved to gossip when they had a chance and I guess she’d talk to them every now and again.
According to them she was really smart. Not to make her seems special or anything since this is all second hand info, but apparently she knew a lot about farms and humans even though as a forest pokemon she shouldn’t have had a chance to learn about that stuff.
I’d normally call BS on that kind of tale but who am I to decide that since I’ve never held a conversation with her in the first place.
But um… If you want to know more ask Daryl or Lady. They actually knew her. Oh, and maybe Pecha too? She was brought to the farm only a few months before Pup was given to us and their mom disappeared but she acts like she knows some kind of big secret about them.
I still wish I had taken the chance to talk with her before she vanished. Just so I would have something more to tell Puppy.
Nalusa@Puppy: would you like to try something? Try telling a story like your Granny. You could tell us about her and we would all have fun doing it.

Wow! Those smell great~!
Alright!
Once upon a time…
In a cold, faraway place there was a young houndoom and her new family!
She had a mate and four very cute houndour puppies that she loved very much.
Although their home was cold and hard to live in they had each other, and there was nothing the pack couldn’t do. Even though this was her and her mate’s first family they were smart and confident that they could take care of their pups.
However the place they called home wasn’t very safe. There were strange monsters that would travel through their home and try to hurt or steal away pokemon.
It didn’t take long before the monsters claimed one of her pups.
One
by
one
her family began to shrink.
Not wanting to see her last pup taken away as well they left their cold home and traveled to a place the ground was soft and green and the air was warm. Never had they seen such a nice place!
But the houndoom knew better this time. She needed to take her pup somewhere where the thieving monsters couldn’t reach them.
At last they found the perfect place. Although there was plenty of food smells there were no other pokemon like her there! And even though it was close to where some monsters lived she knew that this was a place that they wouldn’t go.
Happy in her new home the houndoom was able to bring three new pups into the world! My mom was one of them!
And Granny, the houndoom from the story, promised her new pups that she’d never let anything happen to them!
…
I don’t think she was able to keep that promise though.
Neither Granny nor Dad will tell me that story…
But I hope you liked the story Ms Ariados! I tried to tell it like Granny did but her way involved singing so I don’t know how accurate mine was without.
*a note stuck to a barn wall with web awaits puppy with sloppy writing* "i know it's dangerous for you and i, me being here, so i await you by the woods behind the bull field. i am curious and slightly jealous to hear about another granny being spoken of, but i will try not to take too much of your time. grannies just gotta know about each other, you know? i look forward to meeting you once again, lil pup"
I found some good smelling flowers for you on the way!
I even thought up a story to tell you about Granny! I think you’ll like it!
Hey Lady--what's up with the woods? Have you been there before? Any gingerbread houses we should know about?
The danger of the woods is more of the normal sort. Predators and other aggressive kinds of pokemon call the woods their home.
60 or so years ago it was quite the different story. When the farm was built the farmers could just go into the woods and shoot or trap whatever pokemon was giving them trouble. Between the different farms in the area they just about wiped out the native predators like Houndoom, Mightyena, Ninetales, Zoroark, Linoone, and Ursaring.
Even though they threatened our herds it was still quite sad.
However, about 30 years later a law was put into effect that turned the woods into a protected space so Rangers could start reintroducing some of the native pokemon. Needless to say it didn’t go over very well with the agricultural community. The farmers could still trap or shoot any predator that came onto their lands but the woods were off limits so they couldn’t completely fall back on their old methods.
With the woods protecting them predators flourished over the years. Occasionally we’ve had one or two trouble makers that attack farm pokemon but those don’t tend to last very long. Generally the rule of thumb is that farm pokemon are safe on the farm and wild pokemon are safe in the woods. Go where you don’t belong and… well…
(LILY@PEHCA) WOW YOU'RE SO TALENTED BORK BORK!! YOU SHOULD HANG OUT WITH MY OLD LADY, SHE'S REALLY COOL TOO!! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER AND THE OTHERS AROUND THE FARM BORK?? YOU MUST KNOW A LOT ABOUT EVERYONE WITH HOW IN CHARGE YOU SEEM!!
But you would be correct! I am quite ‘large and in charge!’ … Without actually being large and all that.
Hmm… Your ‘old lady’… wouldn’t perchance be that geriatric Ariados that Daryl had to chase away the other day? I believe I heard somewhere that she was from a good stock, she’d have to be to reach whatever age she is now, so I can see her becoming somebody I could tolerate. Maybe.
As for our old lady… Well she’s old and her name might be Lady but she certainly didn’t use to be one! Would you believe that the old cow was actually a prized battler back in the days before the farm was established? It must be true for how else could she keep that rowdy bunch of miltank and tauros in line? I half expect that she’s going to drop dead any minute now. At least now in her old age she’s quieted down and begun to act respectably.
I guess I’ll do the other elderly farm pokemon next. Daryl is… well his breeding had a plan to it so I guess I can look past the scruffy mess he turned out to be. Something about crossing working herdier and stoutland lines into eevees to produce more specialized eeveelutions. I don’t know but that wire haired look is not flattering. He does a good job guarding the farm, I guess. There was that juicy… well no, you’ve got to pay for the good gossip.
Of all the egg layers I’m stuck with Charti is the most pleasant to be around, but that’s mostly due to her- sorry, his (still got to remind myself) incredible pedigree. Like, he doesn’t advertise it or anything but he’s from high grade, practically champion worthy, battle stock. And he’s here? Out in the boonies? As a lowly farm pokemon? I’ll never understand that.
Ugh… and then there’s-
Oh!
Oh my gosh!
That fur!
Your proportions!
Child, you could be a contest star with some grooming and practice!
If only I had some accessories I would doll you up right here and now!
The mutt would probably want to join in too but it’d just be a waste on them… hrm…
Oh, me? Play with the pup? Never!
I mean, ugh… they’re cute in a ragamuffin kind of way I guess, but I’d never lower myself as to play with them.
(Wen@Pecha) "So the chicken thinks she's hot stuff, huh? Please~ I've seen more interesting rodents than you. Believe me, you're hardly anything special."
A little self care wouldn’t hurt but nothing beats good genes.
Which I have by the way. I’ll have you know top of the line contest breeding went into making all of this fabulousness.
Hm… A good brushing and you might be presentable enough to be in my presence. Come back later when you actually look like…. whatever you’re supposed to be. Ta ta~
