just hold on, we’re going home;

The Champ is Home: Aspertia City’s Own Makes a Triumphant Return! The cover story for today’s paper says.

“Huh, they’re excited to see me Daiki. I wonder if my mom did this again, we were only gone a couple months,” Mei holds today’s newspaper close to her and her Serperior’s faces, reading the cover story as she sits down at a café in Floccesy Town, sitting on the outside deck while sipping her iced coffee. She knew something was telling her to keep her return a surprise from her mother, but she also realized how much her mother missed her and didn’t want to be kept in the dark.

Mei’s has been constantly traveling each region in order to get herself newer experiences and face different challenges. Yes, she may be the champion of Unova, but there are many more trials that she wants to face, which is why she decided to go to the Sinnoh and Kalos regions in order to fulfill her craving for battles. She valued meeting newer trainers and especially gaining strength with her bond between herself and Pokémon.

As she placed the paper down to the taste another sip of her coffee, her Serperior began to tense up slightly. He usually does that when another presence appears that he’s not usually familiar with. However, in this case, he was actually anticipating the person to approach the table, something Mei wasn’t expecting. She looks in the direction her partner was hissing at and tilted her head, pulling back from her drink and laughing. “Well, I never saw Daiki so excited to meet someone besides my mother and I. I didn’t know you’d be in Unova at all.”

Mei’s curiosity has peaked as soon as she saw the trainer and his Pikachu. Something about their relationship made her think about that of an overly-hyper little boy with his annoyed older brother. Kind of makes her think about her Sawsbuck and Serperior, acting like children as she has to force both of them to be civil with one another.

She began to chuckle at the thought before hearing the Pikachu’s noises from his trainer’s shoulder.

“Remind me what soccer is?”

He… he doesn’t know what soccer is? She blinks while holding a quizzical look on her face. “Are you not from around Unova?” She asks as they reach the entrance of the soccer stadium. I should have guessed it earlier, especially with Pikachu.

She snapped her finger, an imaginary light bulb popping from her head. “You must be from Kanto, right? I heard Pikachus’ being native in that region, yes? Oh, and I can’t remember whether or not I mentioned my name, but I’m Mei, former Champion of Unova.” She holds her hand out towards him with a warm grin placed on her lips.

city that never sleeps;

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

redendary‌:

Nimbasa City’s attractions could never not be so enticing, for an electric-type. Bright radiance around every corner, the hum of electricity that vibrates inside the body, making the bones giddy and restless.

That was how it was for Pikachu—for Red’s Pikachu, a danger to hold in his arms (the hairs on them having sat down in ages), but it was all that was going to stop him from scampering off, from trying to climb the highest building.

For a fifth time.

Mei was met with the male trainer and his seemingly overly-excited Pikachu with both amazement and a bit of comical laughter. It wasn’t every day that the brown-haired trainer was able to see immaturity in both the Pokémon and the trainer. Granted, she was almost always like that with both her Serperior and Sawsbuck, since their competitiveness ALWAYS gets the better of them.

But, it just seemed that this particular Pikachu was a bit rowdy than she remembered them being. Mei vaguely caught a glimpse of this Pikachu scaling a couple of the buildings around Nimbasa like a total daredevil, which was what really made her recall the identity of them both. And now, she was actually in the presence of them, how exciting!

“Know a good place for overexcited pikachus? Before I die.”

Mei could detect a hint of exhaustion from the trainer’s voice, so she had to figure out something that could potentially aid in his dilemma and maybe be fun for him too. “Hmm… you could let Pikachu go into the soccer field, so he could let out all his hyperactiviness? I know that’s always what I do for my Pokémon, that is! Do you want to maybe come along with me?”

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

city that never sleeps;

Living within the vastly growing city of Nimbasa always took some getting used to, especially for those not use to all the hustle and busyness of the local attractions that defines Nimbasa City as The City That Never Sleeps. The newly appointed Champion of Unova knows the concept about this idea all too well, seeing as she herself frequently visits Nimbasa.

The young twenty-year-old has stayed around the city since she was a young trainer, watching the growth of the city to how it stands now. Even now, she can see the continual movement of people coming into Nimbasa, making the inside off her heart sparkle from hearing the many positive feedbacks that the tourist had to says, especially about the mini amusement park bring the city all tied together. It brought her to visit the small roller coaster that afternoon.

The line of people ran normally that day, everyone staring in awe as they saw the female stand before the entrance, a genuine smile and casual wave gracing them. It ran like this for a few hours, she even got to do a few autographs and pictures with some of her fans, since a champion’s work is never done. As she wrote her signature on a fan’s pokéball, a sudden figure approached the corner of her eyes. A familiar face suddenly broke the flow of the line, a strained look on their face.

“Well hey, you don’t mind if I tag along with you?” She casually and with grace, moved toward the trainer, patting their shoulder reassuringly.

If Ingo didn’t know any better, he would say that he was beginning to get the hang of this. Not the entire of of baking, exactly, but moreso how it felt to do so, learning from each mistake how to better handle himself, and the ingredients involved. He really should make a point to so this more often at home, he ponders. Nothing would be wasted, should it not work out; a handful of his own Pokemon there would surely be eager taste testers.

Keep reading

“Now greasing… I can do. Besides, it’d be much harder to come back from a botched mixing job, so I’ll leave that part to the experts.”

Now, Mei was not doubting the skills of her elder companion, oh no! In fact, it was the complete opposite. She wanted Ingo to let himself go when it comes to his baking skills or anything remotely like that. But, from what she could see, he seems to be motivated to get everything right. She started to chuckle, walking over to pick one of the best electric mixers and brings it over to her station.

She connects the attachments to the mixer and plugs it into an outlet. “Ok, I’m laying my confidence in your greasing abilities, so our cake won’t stick to the pan!” She exclaims happily as she places the mixer into the bowl with the uncombined batter, turning on the mixing speed to low. “I can’t wait to see the faces of the Pokémon when they all get a piece of our creation!” She was satisfied that this whole baking process has turned out to be a ball full of fun and payoff.

Until…

Mei’s finger grazed the dial for the mixing speed, and it pushed it all the way to the high speed. The experienced baker wasn’t prepared for the sudden change in speed, and the batter flew all throughout her station.

“Uh oh…”

“Oh yes! Two of them!” Ingo answers rather excitedly when he is joined again by his coach for the day. And of course she worries after insisting that he help, but he’s determined now to assist her, and stressed? That was hardly an emotion he was familiar with.

He just waves a finger before beginning to pluck his very gloves off, too, finger by finger, “Oh, no, not at all. Would you know just how hard it is to handle just a few eggs with these things on? I sure didn’t!”

Keep reading

Mei does tend to overreact with the smallest of things that shouldn’t be stressed over. She is also extremely bad at reading other too, and Ingo wouldn’t be an exception. She has always had troubles reading out the feelings of the twins for years now, and now would not be any different of a moment. “I hope he isn’t frustrated by the task I gave him,” would be the thought swimming around in her head when she saw the elder start to struggle.

But, it turned out to be the exact opposite of what she feared.

He was actually laughing at his mistakes and went back to the fridge to grab two more eggs that the recipe called for. His gloves even came off! Mei was quite happy that he didn’t give up or didn’t seem anywhere close to throwing in the towel, which is what she liked to see! It’s like his previous ‘accidents’ had never occurred in the kitchen.

So, Mei… what comes next, hm?”

The younger quickly snapped herself back to reality and rushed to look back to her phone to figure out the next steps. “U-Umm, let’s see here…” She fumbled with the phone in her hand scrolled down to the correct part of the recipe. “We need to… we need to preheat the oven to 350°. Then you can either grease up the bottom of a cake pan for the mixture or mix the eggs, sugar, and oil together with the electric mixer. Both jobs seem kind of tough, but which do you want to tackle?”

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

acedtxt‌:

“Awww, c’mon!”

Kouskes voice fell loudly over the quiet nature scene, as yet another Unovian Pokemon scampered away. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he sighed. The first leg of his time in Unova hadn’t been the best. He had saved up all of his overtime, and extra cash to spend a month in the western region, and it really wasn’t paying off. The Pokemon back home were easier to catch, but he blamed the “jet lag” for his shortcomings. 

To really think of it, it had been quite a while since he had a challenge. Getting easily frustrated wasnt a good look for him, especially since he was trying to become the next champion of Alola. Looking over at his Torracat, he squinted. The Alolan fire type seemed hyper fixated on something in the bushes, which he could only assume was a Pokemon. There didn’t seem to be many berries left around this time of year, which was to be expected. Not everywhere had a consistent climate. 

Stepping forward slowly, he was careful not to crunch too loudly. He hoped that whatever it was, wasn’t easily spooked. Torra crouched, readying her attack. Holding out a hand, Kouske army crawled under the bush to see what was bothering his companion. Peeking into the clearing, the first thing he saw was a Sawsbuck, and a not so friendly one at that. Quickly backing up, he stood with both hands in the air.

“We come in peace!!! Please don’t attack!”

“We come in peace!!! Please don’t attack!”

Well, this is unexpected. Mei wasn’t expecting to see anyone on her way to the next town, so coming face-to-face with the unknown male was a bit of a surprise to her. No wonder that why Sawsbuck was feeling a bit defensive earlier, he was just trying to protect his trainer.

“Well, I don’t think Takeshi would attack you, would you?” She slowly glides her hand behind his ears, humming a small tune as the male Pokémon gave her a look. A slight grunt could be heard coming out the Sawsbuck’s snout before he stopped his attack. “I’m glad you see it my way, Take.” She turned her attention back to the trainer, tilting her head slightly in curiosity at the Pokémon he had tagged along with him.

“Hmm… how strange.”

She looked back at the trainer and gave him a slight smile. “You must not be from Unova, are you? I’ve never seen a Pokemon like yours before! She’s quite fascinating.” She held a hand out to the elder and beamed. “My name is Mei, former Champion of Unova. You look a little lost here…?” She questions, waiting for his introduction.

fateful encounter // mei & touya

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

unovakind‌:

“Sorry, that sounded like I was rushing the story, but this party stuff kind of makes me nervous, like I’m standing out…”

Touya couldn’t help but crack a smile at the girl’s summarization of her journey. There was something about her that reminded him of himself, or a younger version of himself, anyway. Maybe he was just feeling nostalgic, or maybe it was the similarities of their experiences, but he felt more similar to Mei than he’d expected. It was no wonder she’d run into N on her journey. 

Mei was glad she had someone to connect with at this party. Touya and her seemed to share similar accounts of their journeys, even if they occurred in a different spot of the timeline. They even met the same fella, N.

It’s such a weird coincidence, but a coincidence nevertheless.

“Speaking of journeys… I don’t think I’ll ever forget the moments I met every member of my team, though.”

Mei looked at the other’s pokéballs he gestured to, a slow nod coming from her in response. The younger began to think of how she met every one of her Pokémon, whether she was given them or caught them along with her journey. It was a weird moment for her. She hasn’t really given this much thought in a while, but now that she has, it kind of makes it a reality that she accomplished all that she wanted to do when she was a kid.

“I don’t suppose Juniper dropped off a box of starter Pokémon at your house, too?”

She starts to shed a tear from her green-blue eyes while she laughed, quickly wiping her eyes before the other noticed. “H-Haha, I don’t know why I started crying, but…” She looked at the other with a confident smile on her face, “I actually had Bianca bring me the case of Pokémon. We met near the edge of Aspertia, and that’s how I became partners with Snivy.” She starts to chuckle again while looking at Touya again. “Is it bad that I just cried while telling that? Oh no, did I mess up my makeup?” She gasps, pulling out a hand mirror from her first to assess the damage on her face.

fallen leaves;

The first day of autumn has finally found its way to hit the Unova region, and Mei couldn’t be any more ecstatic.

Not only do the leaves fall, but there is that brisk chilly weather that would wake you up in the mornings when you’re leaving your home. It’s also the season for carnivals and festivals, welcoming all the different festivities. Between carnival games, eating candy apples, corn mazes, and hayrides, there was nothing that seemed really bad about autumn.

The best part about it was that Takeshi, her Sawsbuck, went through his seasonal coat change. It was always interesting to witness him changing right before her eyes. She stopped in an open field and pulled out the male’s pokéball, holding it in her palms before throwing it up in the air. “Let’s see you, Takeshi!” A magnificent glow appeared in front of her until it revealed the proud stature of one of her partner Pokémon.

“Wow, I just love your autumn coat, Take,” she grins at the male, chuckling when he turns his head away from her, “Oh, stop it, you love the compliment.” She rubs the top of his head, pecking the tip of his nose lovingly.

Suddenly, a faint crunch of the fallen leaves alerted the Sawsbuck’s senses, causing him to jolt in from of its trainer. He started to use Energy Ball, a glowing ball of green appearing on the top of his head in an act of protection. “Calm down Take, it could just be another trainer, someone friendly.” Mei quickly rubbed her Pokémon’s back to calm him down. “Hello, is anyone there?”

When it came to cooking, Ingo had a decent hand in getting something palatable onto the table, but baking proved to be a far more complicated art. One wrong move and the whole dish could be ruined, and he knew his limits, again, especially after the caramel accident during the previous attempt!

But even so…

Mei insisted, and she was hard to oppose with her determination of making it as special as they could. Wow, it really means a lot to her!

Keep reading

Mei can understand the nerves you get when it comes to anything related to food. Cooking and baking go together: measuring, mixing, putting things in the oven. Everything about the skill. But, she loves doing it regardless. The idea of being able to place something on the table for others to indulge in satisfies her.

So, when Ingo finally decided to take a chance with baking, she couldn’t be any more excited. “Oh my gosh, we are taking big steps here!” With a grin, she goes to the oven and preheats it to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. “That should do it…” she grins over at the elder as she watched him take his time putting each ingredient in the bowl. She can tell by his facial features he wasn’t trying to miss any part of the recipe up.

While listening out for any accidents, she shuffles over to grab another bowl for the frosting she knew she should wait to do, but she wants to get it out the way. “Let’s see… powdered sugar, cream cheese, a bit of vanilla, and margarine?” She slowly walks over to the refrigerator, both the cream cheese and margarine, and placing them on the counter to soften up a bit. “Now, just to grab the powdered sugar and the cream cheese!”

Just as she grabs a set of measuring spoons, a huge splat can be heard ringing throughout the kitchen.

“Umm, Ingo? Did you drop an egg?” she walks over to where he was standing, looking at the crushed egg settling on the tiled floor. “Oh Ingo, I’m sorry I pressured you to help… It must have stressed you out.”

He remembers fondly now, just how wary Mei had once been. It was evident, by her position on his arm that she had grown in both confidence and spirit, her kindness continuing to blossom with each day… and each dish.

His smile broadens a touch further when she mentions carrot cake, and it only makes the cafe feel that much further than the couple of city blocks that really stood between them. Ingo pats her hand once, “We’re both thrilled to have anything that you’ve put so much care into.”

Keep reading

Mei was very ecstatic when Ingo mentioned the use of nice café kitchen. A kitchen is already something that was needed to even make anything, but it was touching that he offered the use of it. We have to make this cake taste extra special!

When they finally reached the end of the block, the elder let her into the café, and all the sweet smells from the other bakers’ creation still had the room smell of all the various pastries. She quickly made her way into the back, revealing all the nice cookware from different brands and ingredients for her to make use of.

Mei could sense the hesitation Ingo’s mannerisms, watching him leaning against the doorframe as she began to pull out to bowls, ingredients, and other things she may need to use. Pulling out her phone, she looked on her phone to get the recipe she used previously.

“You know, Mei, I really don’t want to burden you this time, so I’ll be sure to take a seat out front, unless you should need my help with anything.”

“Oh, but Ingo, I really want you to help me make it! It would be extra special if you did.” She held her two fists up, looking over in his direction. “Besides, I think you could improve your baking skills and make stuff without me. Now, if you’re up for it, could you mix the sugar, vegetable oil, and four eggs together?”

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

What is your absolute favorite pastry? Do you know how to make it?

“Oh my gosh, I love pastries so much!” The brown-haired trainer squealed in delight as she started to thing about what her favorite pastry was. Rosa has made a lot of different things, so she had to think about what really stood our to her about her favorite.

“I would have to say cream puffs are my absolute favorite pastry. Don’t tell Ingo, but I have been trying to perfect the recipe so he can try it when I see him again.”

Fortunately, it’s not a backside that hits the ground; even if the girl’s got the strength of a machamp hidden in her slim frame, Green manages to keep to his feet, if with a foot stepping back as the two collide to keep his balance.

“Hey, it’s alright, it’s fine! Just watch where you’re going, yeah?”

Well, your face could say otherwise.

Mei can admit that she maybe a tad bit clumsy, but that doesn’t give this guy a right to call her out on it. Granted, she wasn’t upset and Kaori didn’t seem to be harmed, she wondered why he felt so agitated with the situation.

She then realized now that the thud she heard was that of the male’s bag and the contents that came flying out, including a singular pokéball.

The younger hopped to her feet in an attempt to grab the ball for the trainer, but was rudely pushed to the side by the other. “H-Hey...!” she said meekly, stumbling slightly before regaining her balance.

With a pout appearing on her face, Mei started to walk away from the situation. She hadn’t even taken 20 steps before she heard the slightly cursing of the other (she wasn’t sure what to call him at this point, since he never gave her a name) when a wild Liepard store the pokéball and instead of having a Pokémon to help him catch the culprit, he had a confused Exeguttor.

“This is your fault! What Pokémon have you got? Help me get him back!”

Mei was starting to steam up, but she decided to keep her cool and talk calmly to the guy. “Um, excuse me, I tried to apologize and you didn’t seem to accept it,” she sighed and shook her head. “And, of course, I have Pokémon, what type of champion would I be?” She pulled a Pokéball from her bag and tossed it up in the air, a Stoutland making it slight rumble to the ground. “Hey girl, we-“she gestures to the other, “need you to sniff out a Liepard to find his Pokéball.”

There was a bark that came from her Pokémon along with a nuzzle into her hand before she bounced over to the other trainer and began to sniff his body. “It’s Mei by the way, and you must be a big hot-head back in your town too.”

fateful encounter // mei & touya

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

Save the world? Touya wouldn’t exactly call it that….especially since he didn’t work alone at all. Team up with all the gym leaders and his friends to prevent a radical Pokemon Rights team from taking over the region and capturing the legendary Pokemon under the leadership of a green-haired cyclops? That sounds much more accurate. 

But there was something else Mei said that really stuck out to Touya. Something that made his heart pound and his eyes widen. The person missing in his life that he’d almost stopped searching for.

“You met N?” 

“You met N?”

“A-Ahh, I have. He talked a lot to me while I was on my journey here and there, but I haven’t seen him in a couple of months. I know he likes to surround himself with the Pokémon, so I just assumed he was in the wooded areas.”

Maybe I mentioned something I shouldn’t have… She thought to herself, hearing the slight crack in his voice with the utter of N’s name. Mei met the elder a few times before. He conveyed a lot to her: his past, his passion, and the time he was a part of the wicked Team Plasma. She sensed that Touya must have a deep-rooted connection with the other, but she wouldn’t want to pry on it if he didn’t feel comfortable telling her.

“I would hope that your journey was much more…normal than mine, but with all your mentioning of Team Plasma and N, I can’t help but think you had your own share of ‘world saving’ moments.”

She started to laugh and wave her hands out in front of her. “Well, now that you mentioned it… I know Team Plasma broke up two years before my journey, but I still had my run-ins with those pope-y looking guys. N told me how they used him to connect with the Pokémon and wanted to ‘free them.’ I had to go to battle Ghetsis and battle the legendary fusion before he froze Unova over. I mean, it might sound different from the tradition journey, but it really helped to improve my bonds with my friends and as a trainer.”

Mei sighed and picked up a glass of water that was provided on the table. “Sorry, that sounded like I was rushing the story, but this party stuff kind of makes me nervous, like I’m standing out…”

(un)planned encounter; || mei & ingo

[exceptionaldonuts-blog]

ingoverned:

Silent is his excitement with the news, though it remains apparent still, with the soft smile that spreads onto his face. Not only had one of his dear friends returned, she bore the good news that she was prepared to share the latest in his recipe arsenal.

Whether it be a muffin, a cookie or a tart, the gift is one where she can’t go wrong, and the moment as a whole was not only a delightful song to the ears, but a deep breath of the fresh spring air that seemed to follow her no matter where she turned up. Simply put, it was a refreshing surprise during such a stale and repetitive work week.

“Sure I can,” There’s a profound sobriety in his voice that he is perhaps well known for, and it remains entirely unflappable, even in his delight, “As always, the kitchen in the cafe is fully stocked for you, and if there happens to be too much, I’m fairly certain we can find a few volunteers to try it out there, too.”

Mei was quick to hear the sound of excitement that was evident in the how welcoming he was of her return. The elder was always the nicest person to her, whether she came for a battle in the subway or just to drop of more treats to him, it was always the same smile and cheerfulness she appreciated.

There was a time before she got to know them that she had… ‘mixed feelings’ about the two Subway Bosses. Back then, Mei just started her journey and was still extremely young. But… she was a bit afraid of them both. Keeping in mind she was a ten-year-old girl on a Pokémon journey and was still afraid of the dark and hated scare movies, it’ll all make sense. When she first encountered the twins, she always seemed to feel very standoff-ish with them. A ten-year-old’s mind (like Mei’s) thought there was more than Ingo and Emmett roaming around or in hiding somewhere.

However, she was reassured multiple times by them that this was certainly false and they were the only two of them that existed on the Earth. And the friendship blossomed ever since.

“I actually hope you’ll enjoy this recipe today. It’s a carrot cake this time around. Your brother might even enjoy it too, or even the Pokémon, if they’re allowed! But, I’ve been trying to master it and think you should taste the updated version.” Mei grinned and held onto the other’s arm. “Shall we then?”
