@diginiko-asks
Welcome!!
This is an ask blog for a canon-divergent continuation of Niko. It'll be as if they're actually on tumblr! (half-joking)
OOC (out of character) asks should begin with double slashes "//"
They go strictly by they/them pronouns!
Magic Anons: Closed Pelipper mail: Open Hackmail: Open
Here's some background information before you send in an ask.
NSFW asks will never be accepted. This Niko is 11.
Headcanons will be abundant.
@the-multiverse-machine-or-someth is my RP hub
Return and Blog Archivals
After a long time of very few posts and spotty activity, I will be returning to Tumblr RP with some major changes. Think of it as a reboot/revival.
For one, a handful of my previous blogs will be archived, and my remaining blogs reworked. Emma's blog will also be archived, but she will be available at zeralight-asks.
Two, currently lingering plotlines will be canceled and potentially retconned: - Evil Writer and Rainbow Rocket - Faller Nene - Pokemon Trainer Niko - Emma's companion links - All Persona-adjacent plots and characters
Three, I'll generally be changing how I do things, mostly regarding the plots I start or involve myself in.
And finally, a few new faces will show up under new blogs :3
That's all, follow for updates and see y'all later
Gym puzzle complete!
Kinda silly to have us herd their Wooloo when they're already trained to be part of the puzzle.
Okay, time to wait for my turn in the stadium.
Did you pack curry ingredients?
I've been finding fresh berries from trees, and some main ingredients were included in the trainer kit I got.
I can always go back home to get more. The trip isn't so bad, now that I've done it.
Probably gonna have to. It's getting late, and the gym's pretty full...
Least I can still do the extra challenge while I'm here.
Hey uh
Is it March in that universe's Galar?
It's... January?
So, you all ready for the gym?
Then let's-
Aooo!!!
( Nicky suddenly runs off towards the sound of the howl. )
H-hey, Nicky!
( Niko and the rest of the team give chase, but it's too fast! They can only corner it at the top of the hillview. )
Nicky, what was that...?
Aoooooo!!!
It's...
...Nicky's mama...
Grrowf!
Huh? What are you...?
...
( The famous Turffield Geoglyph - usually depicting a Gigantamax Toxtricity - was gone, replaced by a giant footprint. )
Wh... What happened?
(Was this caused by one of the rampages that guy was talking about...?)
Uhh... I'm not sure what you want us to do about this.
Grrrrrr...
Okay, okay! We'll try looking into it!
(Not right now, though...)
Let's just go challenge the gym.
Oh, it's Turffield!
I was really expecting that to take longer...
Pretty nice town. Good farmland, a variety of wildlife...
Wooloo! Where do you think you're going?!
Huh?!
Gah!-
( SLAM. )
Urgh...
My... Are you okay? You took that Tackle head on...
Y-yeah, thanks...
Oh, you must be one of those Gym Challengers, right?
Hm? Y-yeah.
Ahhh, I thought so. I saw you at the opening ceremony.
Wait, I saw you there too!
Milo, right?
Yep! I'm a Gym Leader and rather partial to Grass-type Pokemon.
One could guess...
Anyway, we've gotta get back to the gym. The midregion leaders will be busy with new challengers!
If I had to guess, I'm your first gym to face? Then swing by once you're able!
Thank you, sir.
( Milo and his Wooloo leave for the gym. )
That was rough...
Still won, so I get to go on ahead!
That's not...
Ugh, fine. We're pretty much done here anyway.
Uh, what were you doing here?
Cosmos sent us to clean up and... Wait, you're not allowed to know! Bugger off, kid!
(Cosmos... That guy last night mentioned them too...)
What is-
...He's already gone...
( Niko continues making their way through the abandoned mine. It makes for some good training. )
I see light!
Finally...
( ...not to say it wasn't easy. Stego was low on energy, and the others were either neutral or outright weak to the wild pokemon and trainers here. )
Shoot, one more trainer...
Maybe if I can slip past them...
You!
Crap.
( The trainer was an older man, perhaps in his 40s, wearing a rugged jacket. )
Gym Challengers aren't supposed to be here. I'll be writing you up.
Sir, just let me past. I won't come through here again.
No way! Maybe I'll just have to crush you in a battle first!
Uh oh...
Going through an abandoned mine, sure...
I've gone through worse, but this isn't really safe for other new trainers.
Though, I guess our pokemon teams keep us safe.
Plus, Stego is probably well-equipped for caves.
The road to Turffield sure is long...
Say, didn't the trainer kit also include a camping kit?
We could use that to rest up!
Ooh, a Mudbray!
I'll add you to my team and name you Stego!
Who was doing the exhibition match?
The champion and last year's Champion Cup winner.
I didn't really know who they were, anyway...
What'd you think of my team?
Pretty good, but I don't think specializing in one type will do you very good against some of the leaders.
Flying types are weak against Rock and Ice, so you'll struggle at Circhester.
Duh, that's what Grookey is for! Grass is supereffective against Rock.
You really shouldn't rely on a single team member for a battle...
Well, it was a nice battle. Maybe we'll run into each other again.
We will! I'll call you after getting the Water Badge!
Not if I get the Grass Badge first!
Hehe!
( The opening ceremony of the annual Galar Gym Challenge. The stadium's seats are filled with tens of thousands of viewers, with countless more watching from home. All eyes are directed at the pitch, where stands... )
Welcome, one and all, to the start of our glorious Galar League!
( Leon, as flamboyant a showman as ever! The crowd goes wild! )
I am Leon, your commentator for today's battle and a former champion. I am honored to introduce our next generation of trainers fighting to become your one and only champion.
( That's their cue! )
( However, Niko was quite anxious. They've never faced this big of a crowd before! )
Niko?
A-ah, Lulu.
I'm okay, just...
It's alright, my older brother was the same.
Your brother did the gym challenge?
Yup! Managed to place fourth in the Champion Cup!
Wow, he must be pretty strong!
He is!
( With Lulu diminishing their anxiety, Niko's able to walk out into the stadium and face the roars of the audience. )
( Leon continues. )
These are the budding competitors you shall witness rising the ranks and shooting for glory! Please lend them all of your support!
And now, the gym leaders that these trainers will have to face off against!
( The gym leaders of Galar are all introduced one after another. )
The fighting farmer! Here's the Grass-type expert, Milo!
The raging wave! It's the master of Water types, Nessa!
The ever-burning man of fire! Here comes the Fire-type veteran, Kabu!
The Galar karate prodigy! Nobody's better with Fighting types than Bea!
The silent boy of mystery! Allister, friend to Ghost types!
The trickster in theater! Here comes Bede, the Fairy-type user!
The hard-rock crusher! Please welcome the Rock-type master, Gordie!
The ice-cold professional! Please welcome the Ice-type master, Melony!
The ever-present darkness! Marnie, the Dark-type master of Spikemuth!
And last but not least, the tamer of dragons... It's Raihan, the top Gym Leader!
( ...That was more gym leaders than they remembered- )
The trainers here who are able to complete their badge case, filling with the badges earned from these leaders, will be able to battle in this years' Champion Cup!
( Badge case, badge case... There's only room for eight badges, but there are ten leaders! How will that work?? )
Now, prepare yourself... for the exhibition match!!
( Oop, that was their cue to clear the field. Niko was interested in watching, but... )
Niko, what gym are you doing first?
O-oh, uhm...
...Turffield, it says. The Grass Gym.
Aw man, I was hoping we'd have the same route... I'm headed to Hulbury to face Nessa.
Ah...
Actually, we should battle first! We're rivals now, so we gotta battle sometimes!
( Sigh. )
Might as well, gives me a chance to see your team before it really matters.
Let's go!
Ready for the ceremony.
A bunch of other people are waiting for it to start...
(Oh, there's the girl from this morning.)
Niko!!! You look so cool, and those accessories look great! Will they even allow those?
These are my real ears and whiskers!
They are?? Does that mean you're a...
(Please don't say it...)
...a cat-person?
Y-yeah, I am!
And you speak Galarian! I thought Pokemon couldn't talk...
...
( A voice comes over the intercom. )
Trainers, the opening ceremony will be commencing shortly.
Let's just get ready...
S:Been looking at the stuff that's happened to you so far, and hoo boy, you've already had a few situations already.
S:Still, two new mons is a good start!
Yesterday was pretty eventful, yeah.
But I'm up and ready for today!
