Welcome to my blog! Consider this a handy update post that I pin, along with being a promo of sorts!

This blog follows the main character Hermes, and their story to find out more about their past. Having amnesia is rather rough, after all!

Along with them is Leaf, their adoptive Mienfoo child, and Raiden, a strange but powerful Raichu.

I try to update this blog every 1-2 weeks, though I’m ND so I have a hard time keeping track of that time! Rest assured though, I do plan on updating whenever I’m able, but overall my schedule is none existent. 

If you’d like an ask from my kids, please check out my ask call!

An important note is that this is a sideblog, and all follows come from @infectois so if I reply to something of yours, that’s me!

“VIRUS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ITS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THE LAST PROPER UPDATE”

I don’t know how this happened I’m CRYING. Hi it’s munday so I feel as though maybe this is a good time. I still check tumblr quite often since this is an askblog but I feel as though I should properly explain the status of this blog.

I got burnt out fast doing Rosa’s event which is about what I expected from stuff I’ve done before, but then I was moving and got a job and I could only really focus on my other blog connectedspace with Khaos! CIB is pretty plot related

The main thing admittedly keeping me from updating though is my anxiety. There’s some features of the story I’m encroaching on and I need to properly plan things out. I want to come back SOME day; I adore Hermes, Raider and Leaf. But I need to prepare more first before properly doing so. One of those being I need to get a job and have someone review my story.

So it’s KINDA abandoned. Not on purpose though. I will be coming back after I get my plot for this blog together again. Plus I think I got tired of drawing Pokémon so much which may be part of it.

But I still check out your guys’ blogs and think about you all. I just continue lurking in the community. If you enjoy my content or interacting with me, I highly encourage checking out my original character blog @tenstaroblivion . It’s multiversal and I plan on making Pokémon versions of the characters so I can send asks as them. Or I’ll make a new ask call for CIB! Or both! You can also find me as @infectois everywhere!

Basically, I haven’t given up on this blog and fully intend on coming back. I’m just focusing on other things partially cause I have ADHD haha. If you guys would like asks tho, maybe I’ll make a major ask call for all my blogs or something

Rosa paused for a moment, seemingly listening, before answering. “Well I wouldn’t be a powerful trainer if it weren’t for my team in the first place! They’re just out out of their pokeballs right now, they’re around!”

Rosa took a moment to process Alli’s other question before laughing. “Haha I think I could beat the Elite Four with them anyways, and I have. I wouldn’t be the champion right now if I couldn’t do that!”

“Well! To answer your question, I haven’t dyed my hair that much actually! Last I did it was a few weeks ago? So it’s still pretty fresh and bright!”

Hermes was quiet as they looked over the edge. The blurry bodies below had the humans have their colours blend together into a mess as they all went about with their lives. They forget that they’re flying over the edge for a moment, before retreating back and taking a breath.

“Heh, scared of heights?”

“I’ve... never been this high up before.”

“Well we’re not gonna be up here for much longer, so prepare yourself while I go and get some supplies and stuff.”

“... you’re really sticking around huh?”

The large Raichu simply smirked down at the Castform, before flying off with some incredible speed. They watched him practically disappear as he weaved between buildings, and they quickly lost track of him. They sighed to themselves. Right. They needed to get ready.

A week had passed, with the three getting settled and gearing up for the journey ahead. Raichu brought Leaf and Hermes down and near the front of a gate.

“So this is the start of Route 4?”

“Yes. We’re going to have to go through the desert to get to Nimbasa City. We’ll have to take a more off beaten path to avoid the trainers, but it shouldn’t take much longer. Sandstorms have gotten less common so that’ll just make it easier.”

“Ba ba!”

“... well. I hope this will actually help or amount to any sort of progress. Are you sure we’re actually going the right way?”

“Of course we are! And it’ll be fine! You worry way too much ya sky puff.”

“I worry just the right amount for someone in my situation...”

“Staying up high and away from more danger is just the good option while we gather supplies to get going.”

“The rogue gallery of Pokemon aren’t the only thing keeping us up here, there’s a higher danger out in broad daylight, rather than lurking in the shadows.

“Humans are capable of suddenly interrupting and invading your life, and then you have no control over it. For an example, say there’s an independent strong Pokemon, who travels, and they’re so very free. And then whoosh, they’re caught, and suddenly all of that is taken away. Of course, most Pokemon want to join trainers, but not us. Hermes would have to be forced to give up on their journey, and that’s no good.

You all assume I’m just an ass, but I’m the most helpful thing to ever happen to this cumulo cloud. If I hadn’t swooped in, they would be beat up in the alleyway and could have been easily scooped up by a passerby trainer. The better question is, why wouldn’t we stay high up.”

[cloudinbottle] Raiden @Oscar: The raichu floated nearby, simply examining the Darkrai. “Just out of pure curiosity; how did you lose? Aren’t you supposed to be the infamous nightmare Pokémon, capable of trapping people in their feverish dreams for eternity, with abilities capable of the title legendary?” He looked over Oscar with a scornful gaze “Were you simply holding back, not using your full power? I don’t see how that stranger could’ve been stronger than you, but maybe you’re just weak”

“No matter what my memories are, if they’re too painful or horrible or whatever, I would like to have them. I, feel lost... without them....”

Dren: “I could, easily in fact. It would be a lie to say I am not tempted to in certain situations, but I do not out of respect for others personal space.”

[ In response to this ]

“Oh sounds like quite the journey. And quite the battle. But I do have to ponder...”

“It seems best for your own self interest to take an extremely long break, possibly forever, after this. I personally can’t see the point of you continuing myself.”
