Bonjour ! You can call me Ripley, Ink, or just my URL. I'm from Kalos- to be exact, I've been living in Lumiose City since since Decembre 2024.
I enjoy writing, Pokeball customizing, RPGs, long walks on the beach, & cooking! I also like watching Tournaments & Showcases (even if I don't know what's going on half the time T_T). I've got more hobbies, but I don't want to bore you with all that.
I've only technically got one Pokemon right now- that'd be Zel, my Honedge! (Whom the blog is based off of!) She's very cool & awesome <3 I'd like to expand my team some more eventually, but I'm not sure what kind of Pokemon I'd want, y'know? Or what kind of Pokemon I'd work well with, more like. Eeeeeeh I'll figure it out eventually lol.
//Dividers can be found here.
EDIT 11/18/25 : Ive done a soft reboot of this blog! Just changed some team members around and stuff. I probably won't return anytime soon, but I just wanted to get things prepped for when (or if lol) I do.

Hi there! Welcome to (one of) my very cool Pkmn IRL Blog(s).
Basic rules! No NSFW. Mod and muse are both adults. Mod can be found at @skrelps-pc. Pelipper Mail, Mystery Gift, and Union Circle are on, everything else is off. Any blog with any canon can interact!
This blog takes place a few years after the events of X/Y. It follows mostly game/anime canon, with a few bits taken from the manga! It's very much a blend of everything.
This will be a low to personal stakes blog. There aren't any specific content warnings right now, but if anything DOES pop up, I'll use '#tw ____' for it. Please let me know if anything needs to be tagged!
Let me know if you ever want to plot something out- prior connections, events, that kind of stuff. I'll be down for most things!
I apologize if it takes me a while to reply to things- whether it be reblogs, asks, etc! Motivation/energy deficits paired with outside factors means I sometimes end up taking a bit.
As of 3/27/25 - Regarding the new game, I will only probably talk about surface level things until a few months after the game has released. I might bring up things mentioned in trailers (Wild Zones, The Hotel, etc.) in passing, but I will not mention any story beats, plot points, or characters until a while afterwards! If this blog is still active when the game releases, I ask that you don't send any asks containing story spoilers or things of a similar nature. Yeah! \o/

Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force.

If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely.

My friend woke up last night with something smashing into her window. They thought someone was trying to break in but nope! Turns out people were battling on the street outside & someone's Geodude missed their Rock Throw. I am now incredibly glad my apartment is on the third floor
Deino managed to get into the food bowl where we were stocking the berries for the next meals right after I finished bathing him.
He had the time to eat every haban berries before other Pokemon were able to get them. At least he left some apricot berries this time.
I told Natural to isolate Deino from the other Pokemon while he was taking his meal but he felt sad that "Deino would be isolated for so long" as if Deino doesn't empty his plate in the span of 10 seconds every time.
Do not count on me to scrub away the juice on his fur this time.
[Image ID: digital drawing of a Pawniard on top of a photograph of a mostly-gravel garden. The Pawniard, who has sawblade hands (one damaged) and a segment of blue pool noodle over the blade on her head, is peeking over the top of a large plastic flowerpot to look at a cream-coloured daffodil flower. She holds herself up with her arms. Another daffodil bud is near her left arm, and a third bulb is beginning to sprout in the bottom left corner of the image. End ID.]
Springtime is good for Bonesaw because she likes to look at the flowers, but it also means she has to wear pool noodles in the garden again, which she isn't as happy about
Okay, so. When I first moved here, I had no idea where anything was. (Which is like, understandable obviously) But at that point I mainly relied on my friends when it came to finding my way around & all that.
Anyway so ONE NIGHT. My friends and I go out. It's fun, it's great. We start to head back, but I stay behind because needed to stop by a store & grab something. I tell my friends I'll catch up. Pro tip- don't say that ever
I was sooooooo lost that night lmao. My phone was pretty much dead (because I forgot to charge it that morning T_T), & I didn't have enough cash to take a taxi, so I just sort of....wandered. Let me tell you- Lumiose City has a WILDLY different vibe at night. It's crazy
I eventually found my way back by asking a few locals for directions, but it was like two in the morning at that point LOL
Yeah sure dragon types are scary and hard to train but I just had to pull my Noibat's head out of a bucket because she thought the ball inside of it was an oran berry.
