HI! I'm MIKE! This is the PERSONAL blog of @schmidt-attack-pain-index. Please direct any rating questions to that blog. I have created this blog to answer more personal questions and to socialize more, as I've been told I need to interact with others more. I prefer to be called by He/Him pronouns.
Here are some of my Pokemon I have with me most frequently, but I have others:
Regardless of realism, I cannot help but find a charm in films which feature unlikely encounters with legendary Pokemon as signs of something thematic to the film.
Are the chances of a child on the coast of Paldea seeing Kyogre breaching out of the water next to 0 and would be wildly dangerous even if it did happen? Certainly. Does it still hit me right in the heart when the water droplets thrown into the air by its breach create a rainbow as a sign of hope and bright futures ahead to match with the film's themes of growing up? Absolutely.
Dunno, there are certain locations where you have a decent chance of finding mythicals and/or legendaries just fucking around going about their day.
That doesn't go against what I said. If something has a place it would normally be found, finding it somewhere else is still an "unlikely encounter." Like seeing Kyogre next to any coastline. much less Paldea's.

There are people trying to swim in a canals of Lumiose............. Madame!!!!!!!!!! That is filled with clawitzer excretion!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While that's ill-advised behavior regardless of my next statement, but is that not true of every body of water that any Pokemon lives in?
I do not know how to explain to Osha that biting my hand is not actually an effective to get my attention because those fingers are prosthetics and I do not have feeling in them.
Ah. Its been some time since I've had a flare up of enough significance to actually bother me. Unfortunate. I wanted to try to go out today but it seems that will not be happening.
In hindsight, I probably should've known that something like this was going to happen because Osha was howling at me frequently yesterday, but usually she does that when I'm going to do something that gets me injured, not when a flare up of existing injuries occurs.
Also in hindsight, given that painkillers don't work very well on me and I know they don't, I probably should've gotten a Pokemon that can learn heal pulse or life dew by now. Suppose its too late for that.

Oh my FUCK.
[Cheli the Torterra on its Back.]
Who flipped my Fucking Turtle?
How does this even happen?
Maybe I should try to get back into the battling scene. Its evident some of my Pokemon have gotten a bit restless with the lessened amount of fieldwork I've been doing these recent years, and I'm sure they'd enjoy the exercise of a battle.
I fear that I'm completely lost on... how to do that, though. Despite the center of my research being Pokemon moves, its in the context of use on humans, not in battle, so I've never been very involved with battling beyond with a few friends in my youth. I'm not quite sure how to go out there and get involved in the community.
Does anyone have any advice on doing so?

How did you decide to get into letting pokemon bite you for a living?
@ladyzee-oddityhunter
As a teenager, me and some friends were DEEPLY IDIOTIC and got VERY HURT as a result of it. At the time, there was not a very good treatment for the particular injury we obtained from the particular Pokemon we obtained it from, and amputations were necessary. I was the most at fault for what happened, but, unfairly, I was the one least injured by it.
So, naturally, this. I serve as both a CAUTIONARY TALE of how much each attack from every Pokemon can HURT and what DAMAGE it can do, and I help further research into ways to TREAT these injuries. Evidence suggests I am UNUSUALLY resilient, given that I am not DEAD, so I am very well suited for this job.
Oh… That’s such a noble backstory. You’re taking a tragedy and dedicating your very LIFE to the betterment of others in its wake. 🥺
Can I ask what happened??
Houndoom. The thing mentioned in the Pokedex of their burns causing endless pain? That is true- when they use their venom in the flame, which they don't usually do except with prey items they are actively trying to kill but. We were stupid. We trampled into its territory without any Pokemon and provoked it. It responded accordingly.
The root cause of the pain was the venom constantly eating away at the burn, meaning it could never heal right, and was extremely prone to becoming infected and leading to even worse ailments. Its somewhat similar to radiation burns, if you're familiar.
Nowadays, There's an anti-venom that has rendered it fairly moot. Once administered, the burn will be able to be treated like any other burn. But there wasn't back then- or at least, not a cheap, widespread version of it- so the only solution to the extreme burns which cannot heal, are highly likely to lead to worse and more fatal infections, and cause debilitating pain was, naturally, to remove the afflicted part of the body when possible.
Even if you didn't get it amputated immediately, infections in the burn wounds would usually require it to happen later- assuming you're lucky enough the burns were on a part that could be amputated.
However, as I said, this is no longer the case. Thanks to improvements in medicine and the accessibility of medicine, Houndoom burns no longer are such a death sentence and can almost always be recovered from without such drastic measures being taken.
Golly, that's horrific. Yes, I've read about houndoom's lingering fire, but it never quite occurred to me the treatment for it hasn't always been around. I don't have many interactions with houndoom...
I think it's incredible that you can acknowledge the pokemon was just behaving like a pokemon and defending itself after such a damaging ordeal. And you're using the experience to do such a positive thing.
If you could ever use some help with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I think it is important to acknowledge the reason a Pokemon will behave in a dangerous manner when discussing the danger a Pokemon can pose so as to not fall into demonizing them or fearmongering. Of course, when I was younger and this first happened, my feelings were much more muddled and complex, but I've grown since and can observe what happened with more objectivity.
I assure you I am doing quite alright nowadays. But I'll return your offer- if there's every anything you need and it is within my power or knowledge to help, I'd be happy to oblige as well.
Oh, I do believe this occurred while I had been away from here, so it hasn't been mentioned yet.
I've caught a Weedle. Her name is Honeypie. I've always been quite fond of the Beedrill line, if you couldn't tell, so this is very exciting for me. She's very affectionate. And accidently stabs me a lot. But I do not mind.

Too much to summarize. So much stuff. So, so, so much stuff.
I suppose that is not much of a surprise. It has been quite some time.
Is there any current, ongoing ordeal I should be made aware of?
Um...a few.
@unbeatable-champ is in a coma, I think @reverencedflower is possessed, and. Um. @nanaboo-pumpkaboo's funeral was yesterday.
Oh. That is a lot. I do not believe I knew any of these people, but I hope the two injured parties, for lack of better term, can recover. And, my condolences.

Hello! You might've seen the notification, but I was told you may be able to help me with something regarding a Pokemon I'm looking after from the Great Crater of Paldea? In an effort not to continue sending the original poster notifications I thought I'd just send this directly to you, haha! ( @malus-pokemon-research )
AH- Yes, I have caught up on my notifications and done a quick readthrough. From my understanding of your situation, a friend has entrusted an Iron Valiant to you to look after for a period of time, and you are concerned about its perceived shyness. Correct?
Given the nature of my specific research, I am usually inclined to start with a warning. The Pokemon from the Great Crater have been observed to be EXTREMELY VOLITIALE and PRONE TO ATTACK at little to no provocation. They are not all so extreme, but it is EXTREMELY common for them to be for a variety of reasons.
However, given the context of the situation presented, I will assume that your friend has made the good judgement that the Iron Valiant is not one likely to lash out. STILL, I would caution you to exercise common sense and not try to FORCE it to do anything it does not seem to want to do.
NOW THEN. In my observation of my own Iron Valiant and the others I've been able to study, even ones that are not particularly aggressive do still enjoy being given an outlet to fight. It might enjoy being given a space to practice its swordsmanship, and if any of your Pokemon are strong enough to fulfill the role, it might enjoy a sparing partner as well. This is a good way to bond with it and might help it be more open.
Objects which challenge their wit are also something Iron Valiant seem to enjoy. Many toys for psychic type enrichment are also enjoyed by Iron Valiant. This likely won't DIRECTLY help with openness, but is a good for its Quality of Life.
Otherwise, Iron Valiant are, for the most part, somewhat reserved, so set reasonable expectations for just how openly it will behave. The most obvious tell that an Iron Valiant has taken a particular interest in something is an intensity in the glow of their eye-lights, and is something to look out for when trying to find things one enjoys. Iron Valiant will also only sleep sitting or laying down if they feel completely safe in their environment, so if you notice that, it likely is more comfortable around you than you think.
If there is anything else of note you have observed while caring for the Iron Valiant I might be able to give more specific feedback, but this is the best I can offer from what I know of your situation currently.
