Hi! This is an rp sideblog for my Pokémon OC, Skyla Starr, from my fic Hidden Gems! 

If you’re interested to know more about her adventures than she’s willing to share: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33934336/chapters/84387142

Or if you came to this Pokémon blog for RWBY content, here’s her in a different font!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41234772/chapters/103377615

I think that’s everything important for the OOC stuff, I’ll drop an ic intro post sometime later today (sorry future visitors, you have a lot of digging to do)

ooc nico get some fucking sleep

[stellaskiesno1fan]

Ooc: ddeeply innacurate on the grounds of a lack of a hot pink option, but I tried lol

[r3l1cs0ng]

Ooc: and Skyla too, because Picrews are an addiction

[updates-from-po-town]

What do you guys think of the hyper potion challenge? Have you guys done it??

homie we INVENTED it

[klausfromkalos]

The Hyper Potion Challenge ?

I'm too afraid to ask but I need to know

[updates-from-po-town]

straight up just drinkin a hyper potion baybee

gotta at least take a swig, but major props if you can stand to drink the whole thing

[r3l1cs0ng]

Wait they. They don't work on humans...?

[r3l1cs0ng]

Malva’s so weird, cause on the one hand I’m not even from Kalos and I know for a fact that she’s a literal world-ending terrorist on bail, but also like... she’s easily the nicest reporter I’ve ever met???

Like. The worst question she asked was if I wanted to join Team Flare, and considering how long they’ve been dissolved and the looks she shot the camera man, I don’t think that was actually about me-

[stellaskiesno1fan]

You may assume that, from Dark specialist's long tradition of slipping a 'sufficiently mean-looking to fool the league' poison type onto our teams for those Fairy type fuckers, we'd y'know. Like poison types. This is a misconception, we do not. We like our, specific, poison type that we, being dumbasses, thought was a Dark type cause it looked cute.

Definitely unrelated note, I may or may not have a Haunter now.

[stellaskiesno1fan]

Oh yeah I also nearly broke my ankle LOL

[r3l1cs0ng]

I’m sorry, you did what-

[stellaskiesno1fan]

Soooo...

Stella Skies is pretty great, right ;)

[r3l1cs0ng]

Neooonn

[stellaskiesno1fan]

Hey hey! Team Yell Grunt here, got a Pokèblr at the pokin' (heh) of my bestie @r3l1cs0ng, which. Did not take much work, lmao.

Most definitely not a gym trainer at Spikemuth yes yes, Piers has no affiliation with Team Yell. (Jokes aside, don't ruin the fun for the kids, OK? >_< they love the 'beat an evil team' gimmick to our gym, even if the adults usually see through it pretty early.)

My team are Teacup, my wonderful Fairy-smiting Bisharp (Do Not Speak To Me About Kingambit), Hatter, my profile pic and the vainest lil' Sneasel you'll ever meet, not much of a battler but the cutest thing ever, and finally, my beloved, my ace, best thing in my life, Chesire my Liepard, my wonderful little meow meow.

Also, yknow, the small army of Purrlion and Liepard's I breed for Starters. Most of them are temporary though, I only keep the ones with the wrong temperament or too strong to be starters, there's only like. A few dozen of them... or so...

((Ooc: second Rp blog! Because why the hell not. Relicsong is my first, my main is inkperch. This one is honestly probably gonna be a lot busier, not needing my fic to go places and all.))

[r3l1cs0ng]

Ajshasjals WHAT'S THAT USER--

[caoimhe-from-hoenn]

Rotom in the blender

ROTOM IN THE FUCKING BLENDER

[r3l1cs0ng]

...is that water type or flying...?

[r3l1cs0ng]

Team Skull could never expand to Galar, their target demographic already have a job that gets 'em free concert tickets the the local slightly trash disaster man (affectionate)

[updates-from-po-town]

Who's the hottest Team Skull higher-up?

Guzma

Plumeria

You, Calla!

...isn't this just asking if you're gay, lesbian or nice...?

[alolatouristbureau]

Ok so many pokeshelters on my dash are talking about returned pokemon , and theres one thing i dont understand

Why are so many people buying applin for people as gifts??? They arent heart shapped, or even pink??? Its literally just an apple?

They dont even do anything romantic either, mine just sits around and runs away and makes me panic. Is there something im not getting?

[r3l1cs0ng]

It's a Galarian tradition! I don't know how universal this is, but in Galar they're pretty rare, and usually surrounded by very strong pokémon, so catching one is a sign of serious romantic devotion, started by knights (fun fact! Some people speculate that that's one of the origin's of the old 'knights versus Dragon types' thing!).

Or at least, that's the version I've heard? It's one of ththose things that everyone in Galar'll give you a different answer on, and the only thing anyone can agree on us that giving one is romantic.

[alolatouristbureau]

its a What???

my friend when to galar on like a month long vacation and brought me back an applin ?

Thats supposed to be a romantic thing??? Hello??

[r3l1cs0ng]

Funny you mention an Apple tart! This got me curious, so I mentioned it to my friend from a different part of Galar, and the version she’d heard was that it was actually to do with apple pies- because of the whole thing with fruits being very expensive and an Applin’s apple supposedly being delicious, hunting an Applin was considered proof that you could provide for the one you were gifting it too, and the wedding would have the Applin Apple baked into a pie, in place of cake. Really fascinating how such a simple concept has so many origins!

But yeah, uh. Nerding aside, I wouldn’t be surprised if your friend didn’t know about the connotations. Applin are, as well as all this stuff, hella cute, and I don’t think I need to tell you that it’s not the most well known tradition outside of Galar.

...honestly, now I’m a little curious if it’s a thing in other places where Applin are native too...

[rocketanon]

wait i'm posting that on its own

funny how being a trainer is gated behind a wealth threshold

[r3l1cs0ng]

Um. No it isn't.

Most of the professional trainers I know started with barely any resources, set out as a teen with whatever pokémon they could, and ended up with a knack for it. Admittedly, my sample is biased, I spend most my free time in Spikemuth gym, but.

I feel like this post forgets that there's two ways to be a Trainer. There's the professional athlete route, where you're going to spend every penny into making your team better and still probably get nothing out of it unless you're the best of the best and even then. Aka the one everyone wants to do and this posts talking about.

And then there's. Getting an actual job? That involves battling? Most security firms include some kind of upkeep help for your teams, gym trainers pay well and if your gym leaders good, are one of the best places to work (again, Spikemuth bias here)

[clovemon]

So guys. If I were to get an applin for my roommate, would it be read as exclusively romantic????

[r3l1cs0ng]

Probably if you just like. Hand it over no context. But mention it beforehand (which. Probably should do anyway with givin someone a 'mon lol) and they'll probably get it!

[r3l1cs0ng]

Water type for the Pokémon type ask!

-Mateo

Singing usually! Or, if I need my voice to be rested, I'll usually get some gym time in, I'm not like. Big big on it, but I needed a lot of cardio for my job, so it's sorta just. Work related enough I don't get 'no relaxing for you!' brain noises, but work adjacent enough to be relaxing, yknow?

[soothebellss]

“um actually humans are normal type” brother are you immune to ghosts

[r3l1cs0ng]

...

Is.

Is that.

Are most people effected by ghosts? Don't their little joke attacks just go right through humans?
