Hello! This is just a get-to-know-me post, so here are some fun facts!
I grew up in Sinnoh and started out as a Pokemon trainer aiming to face the Champion, Cynthia, but along the way I fell in love with my team (they're the best!) and when we failed to beat Cythia, we sort of all realised it wasn't what we wanted to do anyway.
So we just explored the world and headed off to Alola for a while, where we made new friends and I realised how much I really ooved poison types.
My partners are:
Pip-Pip the Empoleon
He was my very first partner whom I received from Professor Rowan as a Piplup. He's as much as a poison nerd as I am, with the added bonus that he cannot be affected by any accidental inhalation of poison dust (as I am wont to do).
Rosin the Roselia
She was the first Pokemon I caught after meeting Pip. I met her as a budew and between her and Pip we made short work of the Orburgh Gym. After she evolved, she realised she didn't really want to change. She liked who she was and so we decided to forgo looking for a Shiny Stone. And she makes some lovely tea.
Crobar the Crobat (I'm lucky he shares my sense of humour, in fact, I'm lucky a lot of my Pokemon do).
I caught him near the beginning of my Sinnoh journey as a Zubat in Wayward Cave. We travelled for a while, but he was having a tough time in battles because he only knew leech life, but he really put his heart into it and found his stride (flap?). He evolved just before we faced the Ice-type gym leader and, to my surprise, evolved again right after into a Crobat. He didn't seem to like being a Golbat for those few hours, so I'm glad our friendship was enough to help him evolve.
Zazzle the Salandit
I ran into her the moment I stepped into the tall grass in Wala Volcano Park. She was really fiesty and came at Crobar with all she had. They both had tons of fun despite the gap in experience (I'm almost 100% sure Crow was humouring her to let her have her fun). But she just wouldn't stop following us after that! So I asked the rest of the guys and they were super enthusiastic to let her join the group. So she did, and after exploring the island a bit more, we returned to Hau'oli City. After all these months together, she seems to be getting really restless and it looks like she might want to evolve, so we'll see how that goes!
Cora the Mareanie
She joined my little group just after returning to Hau'oli City from Akala Island after Pip helped her free from being stuck between some rocks. She was really skittish for the first while until she realised he was immune to her poison spines. She was so excited after that that I had to introduce her to the rest of the team (who all adore her like the wee sprite she is).
Haze the Castform-Koffing hybrid
They were given to me to take care of by @alexanders-pokemon-adventure a little while ago. They're fairly quiet but also very friendly. They enjoy getting pets from anyone who will give them out but especially from Pip since he doesn't have to wear protective gear. They look up to Pip like a big brother and have made super fast friends with Cora!
Well, that's all of them, my most precious partners in the world! Feel free to ask about them or our journey together as well as any (poison) points of interest. I'm sorry if you don't like terrible puns, my friends have been trying to train it out of me but I'm unfortunately-for-them incorrigible!
