FWOOSH!! The sound of something zooming could be heard, the wind in the area buffeting as if heralding a rapid approach. Said bird 'mon are a bit startled, letting out soft calls before lowering their altitude to give clearance. Seemed they knew what or who was coming.
A trill of greeting was passed to the flock as the dual blurs passed by, before streaking towards a forested waterside area. They slowed down as they descended closer to the ground, their identities now clear. A Latios and Latias settled into hovering positions above the grass, laughing and exhilarated.
It seems ??? and ??? are available for asks. Will you approach?
“A friend.. along with many other wonderful things-- you have been to so many. I will not lie and say that you have not made mistakes, we all have,” the shadowy Umbreon then turned his gaze to the Arceus, gaze firm, but also kind. “But-- there is no true monster in this situation, neither you, nor this wounded conglomerate of souls we face.. Whatever may have happened in the past that led to this point, while you should not forget... lest history repeat itself.. You must learn to forgive. You may have forgiven, or at least reconciled with everyone else along the way-- So why have you not forgiven yourself yet? Instead of allowing your guilt to eat away at you to the point of allowing yourself to be beaten to near death... forgive yourself, and take what you have learned and gained in order to make peace. This will light the way to the future.”
He then turned his head to face the Nightmare that lay ahead once more, the glow of his rings and eyes intensifying. “You have many who believe in you and want the best for you, come what may. Many who want to repay your kindness. Gemini and I are among them. After all, I am still eternally grateful to the depths of my existence that you aided with young Gemini recovering. And while I doubt she would admit it out loud due to her soft-spoken nature, you have become akin to a mother figure that she desperately needed for so long after her own had perished.”
“Now... allow me to repay my humble debt.”
Gemini nudged Traveller with round eyes, her own rings slightly starting to glow more intensely as she, and the shadowy Umbreon began to use Helping Hand to empower the Arceus and everyone who had come along to help. “I-I believe in you.. B-Blackie does too... Please don’t give up...! P-please...”
??? shook his head with a relieved expression. “She will be fine. Do not worry,” he then looked slightly somber. “I suppose it is cruel.. But reality can hurt worse than the strongest venom, sadly.”
The shadowy Umbreon then blinked in surprise at the Gengar, having a perplexed and thoughtful look. “I am unsure of what name I would choose for myself..”
“I had dared not believe that she remembered me from last time..”
Angela@???: I understand that you wish to protect our mutual friend, but I feel many secrets hidden behind those eyes. I suppose such tales can wait, what is it you are after exactly to help Gemmy here? I will find it, I do not wish for her to remain in such a state for so long. We have more power than one is led to believe and we offer it to you willingly.
???’s gaze then directly turned to the Lucario, tone even more serious. “And if you are able to find more than that, for future incidents, I’ll be in your debt. Ancient’s word.”
“Perhaps these seeds will serve well enough. It will take time, but as all things, with nurture they will grow.
You are a caring creature, and you are deserving of our support, friend.. It pains us that we still do not have a name to your face. Gemini is more than a friend to us, and we would extend that offer to those around her.
Do you truly not have a title which to call upon yourself?”
His gaze held a glimmer of wonder and intrigue as Angela formed a piece of the berry into seeds. “Seeds, yes, these will perfectly suffice. I am truly grateful, and in your debt, true to my word. Once we get the remedy ready with what we currently have, I will be sure to plant these soon after,” the shadowy Umbreon nodded, having a mildly sheepish look as he accepted the gift and set the seeds down on a small cloth as he started to get stuff ready.
“Heh... I suppose getting to know someone can change your outlook on them, your words humble me so,” ??? murmured sincerely, before sighing and lowering his gaze.
Gritting his teeth from the painful memory, he shook his head, wrapping up making the remedy with trembling paws. “That is neither here, nor there, however.. Here, it is ready. My paws are shaking right now, so perhaps it may be best if you could try and get her to drink it, please? Once every last drop is gone, it should start kicking in within a matter of minutes.”
“Again, thank you. I appreciate everything that you and the others have tried to do thus far.”

What gave you the inspiration to make this blog? :)
Well, I have had Gemini as a character since.. late 2017 I believe? So she already had a bit of a story, but it wasn’t until I had found a shiny HA female Eevee in Alpha Sapphire while looking for a non-shiny Modest HA Eevee to train as a Sylveon that I had gotten inspired to give dear Gemi a bit of an update.
Once I had done that, welll... let’s just say I had a spontaneous urge to get back to askblogging and the rest is history!
[Vayne@???]: The Zorua looks over to the knocked out Umbreon and then then to the eerily colored one that was trying to help the odd Umbreon. "So... what do you plan to do to help her? Or do you need some extra paws?" he asks.
His brow furrowed as he frowned from this revelation before sighing. “ I can only hope that it will suffice to at least be able to get her well enough to come to..”
He sighed. “It would take a miracle from the precursors that placed the first represenatives of certain species of Pokemon in this world for the culprit that led to the domino effect of tragedy to occur to still be in the realm of the living.”
???’s gaze then hardened. “What I do know is the ones responsible for raiding Henkan and killing Gemini’s mother are still out there. If nothing else.. once I am free enough from my imprisonment to actually be able to do more-- I am going to at least bring justice and closure for my descendant. It may not completely erase the cursed.. label? Or just.. the negative impact on my direct bloodline, but perhaps it can make up somewhat for how the past has harmed the present and future. Only time will tell, I suppose..”
(@askthehalfshiny) May Gemi redeem the hug coupon? Probably gonna need the hugs whenever she wakes up-- especially given how long in irl time the poor girl's been out cold, oops--
“As tempting as it may be, no one wishes to sleep forever..”
(Guys guys guys lookit this heartbreaking wholesomeness-- This-- this is the reason why I got my motivation for this blog back. Don’t worry Angela, Gemini’ll wake up in time soon, I promise!)
???, Cairo and Nyx finally arrive at Moonrise falls, with the Lucario holding the still unconscious Gemini. The shadowy Umbreon led the two down the cliffside and behind the waterfall, where a homely cave was settled at the foot of the waterfall it lurked behind.
He then gave a small nod. “Just set her down there on the nest gently, Cairo. There should still be some items in the storage...”, he murmured. “Also, you two are more than welcome to stay for a while longer, but I understand if your travels must carry you elsewhere. Again, I am very grateful for your help thus far, I could not have managed to bring her back here by myself currently.”
Once Gemini was set down in the bed and made comfortable for the time being.. ??? felt himself tense up, his aura flaring up briefly as he turned to who had approached him.
Staring down the one responsible for his sudden emergence, Doubt, he scowled.
“Still thy tongue or it will be ripped out as you continue to speak, serpent,” ??? growls. “Or take your own advice and leave. I will be here for as long as I am able to at this current time.”
His tone calming down, he then glanced back at Gemini and sighed. “I am not too late..”
Hello everyone, mun here-- Or I guess I should say Vap here. I sincerely apologize for the mostly radio silence again aside from sending out asks/etc. Life.. life’s been a hefty roller coaster. 2019 was a rough year, as I’m sure some of you are aware. And 2020 was no different. My motivation’s been all over the place, majorly due to irl events, but also because of more distracting things on the internet that I found a bit easier to do than askblogging.
(Under a read more since long post and in case anyone doesn’t want to blindly walk into heartbreaking topics, you have been warned.)
Though to sum things up in terms of irl events, April 2019, I put my dog down, a couple of weeks after that I lost my maternal grandmother in May. Then a few months after that in July I lost my maternal grandfather. Then some things kind of turned into a rollercoaster over the course of time in between regarding things that I won’t say. But late 2019, my great-grandmother--or Gigi as I had always called her-- started having problems. One thing led to another and she spent the last bit of 2019 and most of early 2020 recovering from a procedure, with me trying to help take care of her the best that I could. Things kind of stayed at a stalemate, before in August of 2020 we finally had something be able to be done again and for a while, she was doing a lot better. But then.. after her birthday in September, she started getting worse again. It really started picking up in October, and honestly, it started to get to the point where my nerves couldn’t handle it, despite my best efforts to make sure she was okay, with my paternal grandfather’s help(since he was her son, and he had been helping out here and there too, even doing the more heavy physical stuff that I myself would not of been able to do), and then in early November.. I seriously needed a break. My nerves were shot. I was scared, and I was stressed. I did not know how to handle it. So.. we arranged for me to go up to TN to my mom’s, while Gigi went to stay with Pop-pop and his wife, since her only son, along with Lollie, would’ve been able to handle things better than a 24-year-old with problems of her own could have. But... not even a week after I got up to my mom’s... On November 19, my dearly beloved Gigi finally let go and went home in her sleep. She knew that I’d be okay and taken care of at my mother’s, she didn’t have to worry about me anymore.
Needless to say.. despite how-- well I’ve taken it, it doesn’t change the fact that it hit really hard. I’m okay, but it still hurts. I still miss her. But I am hanging in there, so don’t worry.
So.. with that recap done, I am trying to get some stuff worked on. This blog is not yet dead and I am going to try. Though you’ll have to forgive me if there are pauses again. I’m still adjusting, so I can’t get as much stuff done that I’d like to get done as I used to be able to. Partly because of helping around the house, and also partly because of my motivation and distractedness.
If you’ve read until the end, then thank you. Even if you skipped to the end, again, thank you. All of you are wonderful people and I know times have been hard for everyone, not just me. Just hang in there and do the best you can, ya know? That’s all anyone can ask. So until the next post that will hopefully be an actual ask response, be safe and have a good day! <3
((Ive personally notices your use of vibrant colors!! Your characters are very distinct against your backgrounds and have a really good pallet!!)),
[Aww, thank you! I appreciate that! I’ll admit that sometimes in recent days it’s hard to think of a good character design, but hey, sometimes simple works best, other times you gotta have a little bit of flair~]
Hey guys, mun here, I am SO sorry that I haven’t really been updating this blog. Last time I properly updated was last year, while around Valentine’s of this year I did some meme stuff. Life’s been pretty hectic, and my motivation is all over the place. I can’t promise any art posts, but I will try to do some text based ‘update’ posts so some wheels can get turning again.
Anyways, going on with what everyone else is doing, for those who’ve seen my art, what is my art Trademark? Just curious x’3
(Ask-glimwood-pokemon) 💎 Robin @ Gemini: “We may not know each other, but I can certainly admire your beauty~”
(Welp, the last one goes to a sneaky flirty fox and that is a-okay~! But this was kinda fun! But til the next time I’m active on here with stuff for this blog, g’night everybody!)
