I will find them, no matter what it takes

Introductions

Hello. My name is Colress.

I figured Rotomblr would be a good way of not losing my sanity whilst I adjust to. . . recent developments.

I am searching for my children, Nate and Rosa. They vanished a few months ago without a trace. Who knows? Perhaps this website will assist me in my search for them.

I will find them, no matter what it takes.

OoC: Hello! @bespectacled-bookwyrm here! Yet another rp blog for yet another AU! Unlike the others, however, this one had no accompanying fanfic, and is instead found (in a rather fragmented state, I will admit) on my main blog. Due to its age and how it's evolved over time, some parts of the AU no longer match up with what was originally written or drawn.

I'll make sure to tag everything appropriately, but if I miss anything, please don't hesitate to let me know! :)

(Oh, and Colress x Grimsley will be present here, by the way.)

[no-matter-the-cost]

Arceus dangit I thought I'd finally stopped accidental teleports when sneezing.

. . .

I hope Janet likes dealing with a group of Gothita that know how doors work and are hopped up on copious amounts of sugar.

. . .

Now to figure out where I am. And how to get back.

DEAR ARCEUS THE GOTHITA ARE THROWING JARS AROUND

GARDEVOIR DIDN'T TEACH ME HOW TO DEAL WITH STUFF LIKE THIS HELP

[no-matter-the-cost]

Fantastic. One of the Gothita has figured out how to open jam jars.

[no-matter-the-cost]

i see you’ve been cheesed. Have your pokemon gotten into it yet

— @disablednecrozma

Thankfully, no. Unfortunately for me, though, Rotom took pictures.

She's been giggling at them for the past three days.

⚡️⚡️⚡️It's not MY fault they're funnyyyyyyy!⚡️⚡️⚡️

Unrelated to cheese, but the entire Gothita gang has figured out how door knobs work.

This won't end well.

[disablednecrozma]

uh oh! that ain’t good. uhh… baby proof them? or maybe give them more puzzles/enrichment? that’s all my advice, but it might not be very good with my limited knowledge lol

[no-matter-the-cost]

They usually play with Elgyem or waddle around and stare at me, but I'll look into puzzles and toys for them. They're smart little things, so they probably ARE bored - I just lack the knowledge to know the signs of it at the moment.

Thanks for the advice! :)

[disablednecrozma]

Ah… why do you, uh, own them then? it seems pretty irresponsible to own a Pokémon without knowing how to properly care for it. or even just know how to read their emotions through their behavior/body language. I’ve never researched Gothita before so I’m unaware if resources on them are sparse.

[no-matter-the-cost]

Honestly?

They followed me here. (Well. Waddled after me, to be more precise.) They're completely wild.

And I have no idea why they chose ME of all people to follow around.

I've never really interacted with Gothita until now, and they seem to like me. I think. I know they stare at things they like, at least. And they stare at me a LOT.

I understand their dietary wants and needs (one loves blueberries, but another prefers raspberries, for example), but I'm still picking up their body language. I'd utilise my "emotion reading", but I'm still struggling to control it properly (and knowing me, I'd accidentally overwhelm myself by reading the emotions of everyone within a certain radius.)

I guess I could ask Grim to ask Caitlin about them? She has a Gothitelle, I think.

[disablednecrozma]

I see you’re, uh, already planning on keeping them I suppose. If something similar ever happens again, maybe just call your local rangers? it’s their whole job to take care of things like this.

[no-matter-the-cost]

They're, uh. Clingy. To say the least.

When they're not mucking around with their telekinesis or trying to open every door they see, they're following me around.

I tried to coax them into leaving, but they're adamant on staying with me.

Even Wendy (she's a Ranger from someplace called "Almia", I think) can't coax them into returning to the woods they initially lived in.

I guess I'm "dad" to them now? Or some sort of Gothita equivalent?

[disablednecrozma]

that makes more sense then, if even a ranger couldn’t get them off you. Maybe something important is happening to you soon? They can see the future, after all.

[no-matter-the-cost]

Yeah, they're determined little waddly 'mons.

That's certainly a possibility! They do stare at and follow me a lot, and mostly ignore everyone else. (Playing with Elgyem aside, that is.)

Or maybe they like me because. Y' know.

Half Gardevoir. So a fellow Psychic-Type.

I dunno I'm just speculating.

[no-matter-the-cost]

Crisis averted the babies Gothita are all snuggled up with me and not raiding the fridge anymore.

I need to follow more Rotomblrs. Spice up my dash with some more variety. RB THIS POST IF IT REACHES YOU and i'll send some asks and traction etc your way, investigate your blorbos.

THE GOTHITA FOUND THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

[basil-leaves-clinic]

Because of a conversation elsewhere I am curious, what is your craziest, funniest, or weirdest pokemon caused inconvenience?

One time there was a snorlax on the road to my clinic so I got no appointments and people were canceling.

Also the Usual Unova Experience™️ of The Forces of Nature showing up in random places making it so you cannot leave your house.

[no-matter-the-cost]

The Gothita figured out how doors work.

And they're still in the "toss everything not nailed down with telekinesis" stage.

I think that fork's going to be stuck in the ceiling for a long while.

[gunkycrocs]

ribbit! hey rotomblr, quick question - how many of you are humans, hybirds, or sapient pokemon?

your species?

Human

Hybird

Pokemon

Other

Voting ended onMar 4

[no-matter-the-cost]

Hybrid. Human-Gardevoir.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Pokémon! Let's goooooo!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️

[gunkycrocs]

thats so cool! would you be up to answering a few questions about your hybird-ness? no worries if not, just curious and trying to figure something out. [^_^]

also, wooo! go pokemon!

[no-matter-the-cost]

Sure, I'm happy to! I'll answer to the best of my abilities! :)

⚡️⚡️⚡️WOOOOOOOO!⚡️⚡️⚡️

[gunkycrocs]

were you born a human-gardevoir? or was that a later-in-life development? can you learn Pokemon moves/battle the way a non-hybird would? does it affect your diet?

[no-matter-the-cost]

In my case, it's a later-in-life development, one born out of extreme desperation.

I can learn moves - so far I've discovered I have access to Teleport, Ally Switch, Will o' Wisp, Magical Leaf, Protect, and Psychic - but I'm not very good at using them, to say the least! I've lost count of the times I've accidentally teleported from sneezing too hard or unintentionally launched something I meant to telekinetically pick up. (It's a matter of practise, really; I'm better than I was, but I wouldn't say I'm competent with my abilities yet.)

I "battled" once, but I'll admit that was purely a case of operating entirely off of instinct. I had no idea what I was doing, but those I care about were in danger and I just. . . Acted. Without any thought. I suppose that was a case of the infamous protective instincts of a Gardevoir surfacing.

I don't think it's effected my diet too much, aside from developing incredibly intense cravings for very sweet and sugary things, especially after using my powers a lot. (Elgyem experiences something similar, but I don't think it's quite as intense in his case.) So my digestive system, at least, seems to mostly function as a human's does.

Let me know if you have any more questions! :)

[gunkycrocs]

that is very, very interesting! thank you so much for being willing to answer!

what I'm getting is that quite a lot of hybrids I've seen on here can learn some moves. thats good to keep in mind...

are you planning to try and get better at controlling them with time?

[no-matter-the-cost]

Happy to help!

I absolutely intend on getting better at controlling them. I'm quite sick of ending up in a tree or in the middle of nowhere if I so much as sneeze too hard, haha!

I'm lucky enough to have an actual Gardevoir take me under her wing. I'm much better than I was, but I still lack fine control. (At least I'm not accidentally mind-reading or picking up the emotions of everyone within a five mile radius now, so progress!)
