My name is Nick. I am a Greedent, for the most part. I’m not really that strong, but I recently set up this Tumblr blog, hoping that someone will send me asks! Or snacks, or both! I would absolutely love some candy, my tail stash seems to always run low...ehehe...

(greedentstripes) Nick pulls a Pecha Berry out of his tail and offers it to Anna. "You uh, don't look too great there. I think this might help, it usually calms my stomach down after I eat something I shouldn't."
"B-but...boss...? This berry might be poisonous as well-"
"Ha, don't worry, Mel. I trust Greedents with the berries..."
Anna grabs a berry from Nick's tail and start to eat it.
"Wow...o-okay..." she looks at Anna with an awe.
Anna facing towards the visitor. "Thanks much, friend!"
She goes to the storage again and pick up the outfit. She puts it on Nick. "And...ta-da!"
"A good deed for a 'fit is a fair trade! Don't ya think?"
Anna has been recovered from the poison.
Nick obtained Tuxedo Style Outfit for helping Anna with poison.
(Nick) "Hey, this doesn't look too half bad! I look like a dapper dent if I must say so myself. Thank you ma'am! And uh, no problem."
(Nick turns to Melica) "Apologies for the outside foods thing, miss Weavile. Mel, your friend said? Or is there another name you'd rather me address you as? Anyway. Your friend didn't look so good for a moment there so I did what I thought to be first thing to come to mind. A little first aid, ya know."
(Nick thinks for a sec) "Speaking of, that might not be a bad thing to have in the back. You never know. Antidotes, antiparalytics, et cetera. A lot of berries have those kind of properties. I'm willing to share my hoard if you'd like that kind of stuff in a first aid kit."
Nick wandered into the store. It had been so long since he last came here but it looks like so little has changed. He had little difficulty finding the counter.
"Hi there! Remember me? I was the customer who bought that really spicy cupcake for my dad a while back. He absolutely loved it! Me myself though, I'm not the biggest fan of spicy stuff. Upsets my stomach, actually. I'm more of a sweet tooth kind of guy. Occalate. Custap. Sometimes I even like minty tasting stuff. Since i'm here though to shop for myself though, you won't have to work with spice. Do you have anything with Occalate and or Custap? I could offer you some of my Custap berries if you're running low on them."
"Mmm...while we do have a large selection of sweet treats for you to choose from, pastries with the berries that you're looking for won't be here! Especially the ones you're asking for. They're kiiiinda hard to come by! We've occasionally sold pastries with berries of that rarity, but it's only when we have enough to do so...or special occasions. Usually people can make special orders if they provide us the berries along with payment, but it'll take a bit to get it done and delivered."
Canela scratches the back of her head sheepishly.
"Besides, that cupcake you got for your dad was sort of a special case..it only included Cheri berries so it was easier to make! I'm sorry if you came all this way to get a quick sweet treat. You could make a custom pre-order if you have the berries with you, or you can try another one of our goodies! We have a chocolate cake that my little sister loves and she has the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know hahaha!!"
(milochmagic) Goro @ Farris: Daaaang! That must have taken some dedication, huh? I'm the most annoying person on this planet and no one's ever given up on me like that! Well, except that one guy at the sandwich shoppe ... ANYWAY! This Hope lady is obviously pretty important, so aren't you worried about how she'll react? Isn't there something you can do to scare the wrath of the gods into that Absol? Attack 'em outright, maybe?
Farris: I could have used this day to train someone who actually shows some potential. Destino’s EVs are all over the place. I’ve tried allowing them to gain some more in attack as it’s clear they are a physical attacker. Yet they’ve not put their effort into any of the activities I’ve provided for them. I’m aware the princess needs them to save the world but there’s only so much I can do.
Farris: Training is a two-sided affair. It is work for both the trainer and the one who needs training. However, they need to put in the work. I shouldn’t be doing more than them. They’re not going to learn by giving me less-than-minimal effort. It’s made me realise what kind of Pokémon they are: they are someone who expects others to do everything for them and yet will not do anything to help themself. I'm sorry but I’m not going to train them.
Lily’ banned moves? Are there other such moves that only licensed Pokémon can use I understand why mimic could be a issue but I’m curious about other possibilities
Lily: imagine the general population being able to grab moves from their legendary friends, when in the wrong hands it could be quite destructive. Regular moves already have this potential, we don’t need to be making it worse. There’s a lot of restrictions for us who are legally allowed to use Mimic. Banned moves mainly consist of those Legendary moves, as well as moves like Transform and Sketch due to the permanent effects it can have on bodies that are not equipped to deal with it. Pokemon who can naturally learn these moves can go crazy with it, with the exception of Legendaries participating in official tournaments.
Anyways, you can only get certified to learn Mimic if you’re a licensed battling educator. It’s a lot of rigourous training and they revoke it if you use it for other purposes. It’s not something anyone can get all willy nilly. The punishment is quite severe.
(greedentstripes) Nick: Wow, the fade is natural? I think i've seen something like this before, but on a bird I saw on the internet. Have y-you bychance heard of something called Chimerism? I don't know a lot about it other than the fact that it makes you have two colors of hair. Seriously, this bird was split right down the middle with two different colors. You should look it up!
Pretty sure I've heard ze profeszor mentioned zis, just my memory was hazy, haha...
I'll make sure to read about it at home.
Steeling his nerves, the Greedent scurried into the source of the red mist, and took a deep breath. Nick began to grow, and grow, and grow. His shirt ripped, and his glasses fell off, unaffected by the Dynamax energy. At the peak of his energy, Nick attempted to body slam into Kappa, only for the move to overcharge into a Max Strike.
Because she was pinned, Kappa could only watch as the Greedent Dynamaxed to match her power.
She struggled desperately to get out of the way of his attack, but she could only sit there and take it. Nick barreled into her like a landslide, ripping her tail free from the rock and slamming her into the opposite wall.
Kappa groaned in pain. Her whole body ached. Where did these Pokemon come from? Why were they attacking her? She didn't understand...
She took in a deep, growling breath. She had to fix this.
Townsperson: Oh, I didn't know you could understand Pokémon, that's amazing!
Saguaro: It took a lot of practice, and I'm still learning…
Townsperson: Anyway, little one, to answer your question…
Townsperson: They do make honey! They make so much, it drips out. So they've made a little hole in the bottom of their hive so it can land directly into these cauldrons. We take this, then we strain and purify it.
Saguaro: Makes sense. Over where I live, we do the same with Combee honey, just uh… Not with massive cauldrons!
Townsperson: I'd imagine not, Combee make less honey than Huggabee do. Huggabee honey is really quite good, it's very sweet and has a slight Cheri Berry flavor, due to all the Cheri Berry trees that grow around here! We have a store that sells the honey, and the owner has their own Huggabee to create specialty flavors. Here-You can take a sample!
Does Ray have the same blessing as you, Rio, or is his different?
This whole blessing thing has got me thinking about who's got what. Works for me, at least my mind is occupied with something.
Ray's blessing grants him the ability to immediately identify someone's critical hit areas and vulnerabilities. Ever since he's received his blessing, he's been experimenting with it and now he can apply it to incoming attacks, objects, strategies, armies, kingdoms...
... mushrooms, carrots, bamboo shoots, bok choy, noodles...
Is this... Is this why all the ingredients are cut so evenly? He knows there's tools for that, right?!
--
Ray's Blessing has been unlocked:
Tactical Clairvoyance
After a first successful strike, all consecutive attacks have a critical hit chance of 100% and is granted the "Same Type Attack Boost" (STAB) regardless of Ray's current disguise and move type.
This blessing ignores any ability or item that prevents critical hit damage. Tactical Clairvoyance also does not guarantee a hit.
With Ray's guidance, this ability can be granted to a single ally within his vicinity.
I may have just woken up, I may be groggy as all helll, and I may have just discovered paper exists... it might be 2am but god damn
YES. You live with Silas? You're 100% going it wake up at ungodly hours of the night to the sight of THIS MAN
Slamming down an entire pack of hawaiian rolls in the dark at 3 in the morning. Just bc he woke up and he was hungy. And he WILL NOT apologize for it >:C BUY HIM MORE NOW.
Not in a million years is he ever going to share food xD Silas is food aggression personified, he gets ahold of something the most you are getting back is an empty bag and some crumbs.
Is it not possible to simply bring the one Andromeda is so stubbornly desiring to talk to, to the barrier in order to make both her and Octave happy? Or is Andromeda kind of screwed six ways from Sunday here?
Andromeda clasps her hands together, eyes filled with renewed hope.
"That's an excellent idea! That way I don't have to step any further, just like you want!"
Octave breathed a heavy sigh, still rubbing at her face.
"It is not my duty to call upon the so dearly departed's reincarnation for your pleas. Not like I know where she is, given how she always seems to be on the move..."
The umbreon stared over at Andromeda again.
"When she was a xerneas.... what you did to her was just cruel. Telling a mesprit to take away her emotions, just because she mourned for longer than you had liked?"
"I came to apologize for that as well. I was... I was just doing what was expected of me at that time. The title I carried. At that time, I thought that was the best option to take.... but I never. I never expected her to..."
"Take her own life?" Octave asked softly and bitterly. No matter how much time had passed, it still hurt that her goddess had come to such a decision.
However, a xerneas' soul is not so easily diminished. An egg was left in her place... and thus began Octave's first duty: Getting the egg to safety, out of their original realm.
"Listen, Andromeda. I don't want her hurt again. You're powerful enough as is... so can't you find another way?"
"...I wish I could, Octave. Unfortunately, I need her and her power."
"... if she pops up on my radar, then I will let you know." Rising to her feet, Octave turned the other way.
"But you will have to tell her everything. From start to finish. Beginning to the present." When the arceus nodded in response, Octave sauntered off into the barrier; a forest tinged in a dream-like green.
Cody furrowed his brow for a second, absorbing Fenninkou's information.
"Okay, like, I don't know that for sure, I just got here and all that? But let's just say what you're saying is right. Then yeah, they probably need to be stopped before they get too far. But are you really any better than them if you go killing one of them right off the gate? At least just find a way to disable her and call it a day..."
This notion put her off so deeply that she ultimately let go of Periwinkle. She stared at Cody more deeply in disgust.
[ ID: A grayscale bust drawing of Fenninkou slightly angled away from the viewer towards the left. She’s visibly sulking, her eyes closed shut and her mouth in a pout that puffs her left cheek.
Fenninkou's appearance is as described here. End ID ]
Fenninkou: "Ew. Who do you think I am? A feral? I wouldn't kill them..."
"Nah, didn't exactly imagine you a feral. Ferals don't return conversation like you did..." Cody shrugged, his eyes briefly breaking contact as he watched Periwinkle flee.
"I would be lying if I said the word 'vigilante' didn't come to mind either though..."
