Nico - Moonlight Shadows Rescue Founder

Stop calling dark types evil when y'all just can't take care of them

Moonlight Shadows Rescue

okay gonna do this properly this time

Yo my name’s Nico (he/him) and I’m the founder of Moonlight Shadows Rescue, a rescue for primarily dark types but we do house a handful of ghost and bug types as well, along with a psychic family.

We mainly provide shelter to abused, injured or traumatized pokemon that can’t return to the wild but we do rehabilitate when we can. We foster baby pokemon and once they’re old enough we allow trainers to adopt them.

We’re based in Johto off of Route 42 but let me know if you know of a pokemon in need of help even in other regions and I’ll do what I can to get them to a safe place until a team can pick them up.

I’m not a dark type trainer, I used to be a fire but I’m constantly researching and teaching myself what I can about how to properly care for each pokemon here.

You’re free to ask questions about any pokemon here, ask if we have a pokemon, about their history and how they came to be here. Please be aware that some of the stories each pokemon has are not for the faint of heart and can contain triggering aspects to them. I will do my best to properly put trigger warnings and if I miss one let me know.

But uh... yeah, enjoy your visit.

(ooc: this is a sideblog to @/kingarmorking, so i’ll be following from there)

Send "🔄" or "Shuffle" for a glimpse at alternate version of the muse!

OR send "🔄" (Or "Shuffle") and a number for the character to stick around for that many asks!

Specify which for Multimuse blogs.

“Trick or treat…?”

You are approached by three figures. Troy is dressed in an elaborate witch’s costume. Meanwhile, Silk and Blackjack pose as their “familiars” – a Nickit and Corvisquire, respectively.

@hearthome-habitant

"Oh! Troy! Glad to see you doing well!"

Callie and Temis are standing next to him this time, Alto and Tenor in makeshift seats on their backs. Callie has scrolls attached to hers and Temis has a quiver of rubber arrows and a bow.

Nico gives out the treats and appraises Blackjack, smiling to himself, "How have you three been doing?"

[moonlightshadowsrescue]

Trick or treat ( it's a hisuian zorua dressed as an alolan ninetales with a alolan vulpix dressed as a fairy and a kantonian vulpix dressed as a pirate)

Nico opens the door, he's dressed as a hisuian typhlosion and Astro is next to him wearing a honchkrow inspired hat with a cape around his shoulders.

"Ah! What wonderful costumes!" Astro grabs a handful of pokefood (made for each specific type of course) and drops them into each bucket.

"Have a happy halloween you three! Stay safe!" Nico calls watching them run off.

[rotomblr-askgames]

HEY ROTUMBLR, REBLOG THIS IF YOUR MUSE'S ASKBOX LIGHTS ARE ON FOR TRICK OR TREATERS!

Rules:

This is not an anonymous ask game. Either keep anon off or tag the side blog that’s participating.

Feel free to throw in extra details. Is your muse trick or treating with their pokemon? What kind of costume are the wearing? Have fun with it!

If reblogging, put in the tags if you’re doing tricks or not!

If doing tricks, please keep them as silly funny prank like things, rather than something that’s super mean like throwing eggs at someone… Unless you explicitly say that your muse plans on doing stuff like that.

Please send an ask to the person you reblogged this from that way everyone can have some fun interactions.

[yourlocalxenomorph]

please can we do inbox trick-or-treating this year. can we make that a thing on tumblr. please please please please please

[yourlocalxenomorph]

literally all it entails is sending people "trick-or-treat" asks and people answering those asks with pictures of candy or those silly spooky plastic toys or whatever else you would give a trick-or-treater. please. please can we have some whimsy

Houndooms are not usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking 'bout working mons, but they can be just as good as Bolthunds!

They're not recommended for herding 'mons smaller than Wooloos 'cause of their high prey drive, but they can be great taking care of Girafarigs and other Psychic 'mons due to the type advantage and their size!

[aidens-mons-yo]

Houndooms, if trained properly from young, can also be an incredible psychiatric service pokemon! They're very good at keeping their humans on a proper routine, and for individuals with PTSD are generally the most recommended. Being big enough to support a human's weight, and built-in "hand holds" are a plus as well!

It takes time, care, and a proper understanding of your mon, but houndoom are dedicated and loyal companions.

Dark-types are disgusting, evil creatures. Why would anyone care for those monsters? They should all be put down.

(For the strike a nerve prompt, these sentences do not reflect my own personal beliefs. <3)

Send my character messages you think will strike a nerve.

Nico carefully placed the broken handle of the long-reach paintbrush into the tray next to him, stepping back to look up at Moonlight Shadows's building. Half of it was repainted and the other half had the remnants of "DARK TYPES ARE ONLY GOOD FOR HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS" and "EVIL RESCUE".

It wasn't the first time he'd had to repaint Moonlight Shadows cause of graffiti and he knew it wouldn't be the last time, some people just would never change their views on dark types and if this had happened when he was younger, he'd find the person who'd done it himself. Now though he knew better than to give people with this mindset the time of day, so when the message appeared on his phone...

"Do you people really not have anything better to do with your time? You have nothing better to do than send such a vitriol message to my rescue? Nothing that could be more productive? Nothing that could actually contribute anything to a possible conversation?"

He sighed and looked at the paintbrush, "Damn, I liked that paintbrush." he slowly unclenched his fists as he texted Mikala and Keanu to buy another one. His hands hurt.

Pelipper Mail! It’s a bunch of sand in a really nice jar! (It’s sealed don’t worry it can’t get everywhere)

-@winona-mantine-rider

Pelipper Mail is now active! Write “Pelipper Mail!” and then the actual package contents to send them through the ask box!

"Oh!" Nico hurriedly puts the twins down, "No! Alto, Tenor you can't have this!"

Their faces bunch up and just as they're both about to start wailing, Keanu and Mikala run in with pacifiers, placating them for now.

Temis and Callie are quick to scoop them up while the three admire the jar. It gets placed with the rest of his souvenirs he's been sent from Alola on the highest shelf.

"Mahalo! I miss the beaches of Alola, I can't wait to go back!"

WHO NAMES A POKÉMON “GUZZLORD”?!

[moonlightshadowsrescue]

[floaroma-sanctuary]

I don’t think Buzzwole is all that bad actually. Guzzlord sounds like a 13 year old boys gamer handle.

[moonlightshadowsrescue]

oh fair point. its cry sounds like one too

Pelipper Mail is now active! Write “Pelipper Mail!” and then the actual package contents to send them through the ask box!

"Aww thank you!"

The toxel twins immediately take it and start gnawing on it.

"Ah... well there that goes. But the sentiment is appreciated nonetheless!"
