[Mackenzie chuckled at the image of Bloo trying to catch the Drifloon.] Too bad Pizza Jun isn’t up and running yet. I’m pretty sure Bloo would love to help me clear all the leftovers or wrong orders, huh.

[Nodding, the girl looked up again at the purple Pokemon and stepped closer.] Hey there… Why don’t you come down? There’s nothing interesting up there on the ceiling. If you want, we could head outside for some fresh air?

[The Pokemon stared at her as it contemplated, before hovering a little lower. Mackenzie reached out slowly for its heart-shaped hand.] Come on down… We aren’t gonna hurt you. We just want to make friends with you. Right, Robin?

[She wrinkled her nose, prodding Bloo’s very bouncy belly with her big toe.] I’m putting her on a diet. If she gets any fatter she’s probably gonna evolve. There’s no way this room will be able to fit her. 

... Holy shit, what are you - the Ghost Whisperer? I’ve been trying that and it just wouldn’t come down. [She frowned at it, before kneeling down and trying to shake her sleepy Munchlax awake.]

breederbritt:

Of course you do. I want to have the best of the best in the club this year so I the best need to race against them to see how they fair.

Do I get a star or something? To let them newbies know that they’re going up against the best of the best.

mackenziejun:

Somehow I don’t think that’s possible.

You should totally poke-sit Leo for me someday. He’s such a handful and he’s tiring me out with his antics.

I will bite you.

Well, if you really can’t handle him - I’ll be sure to help you out with it. Dune can definitely mother him down a bit.

[stuck-intheclouds]

mackenziejun:

Why? They aren’t gonna hurt you.

C’mon Robin. You can start with hanging out with my Litleo. He’s one mischievous and cheeky Pokemon. You’ll love him.

They will smother me with cuteness, and too much of that smothering I will become even lazier than I already am.

[stuck-intheclouds]

mackenziejun:

That’s amusing… I’m sorry. I just can’t believe the amazing Robin Nolan can’t handle a few flurry and adorable Pokemon.

Get those things away from me.

They’re so fluffy I’m gonna die.

breederbritt:

Having a cuddle puddle with my pokemon while I workout the details for the racing team try outs. What is the best day for everyone who is already on the team as I would like for you all to be there.

Do I get to show some newbies how things’re done? I’ll kick their asses happily.

coordinatorelliott:

Well yeah, but that’s why you want the fire-retardant stuff. That way you’ve hopefully got less to worry about. Or y’know, you’re right and they just figure things out.

Is it motivating at all to think of how badass you’d look racing on the little dude once it evolves? Cause that’s totally a thing. Or maybe see if you can find a workout buddy to help motivate you?

I don’t really intend on racing on any of my other Pokemon. Dune’s the only ride I’ll ever have, honestly - and Dune does a perfectly good job at cross-country. Besides, Metagross don’t move that fast. They’re more of a ... tank kind of thing. And floating just takes the thrill out of the whole racing thing.

Maybe. We’ll see about that.

[text] I may be a grouchy old man but I’m not violent. I’d even be afraid to throw my beer bottle at them and hurt them. [text] What do you think you’ll be like as an old lady?

[text] blocking roads with my snorlax when the government pisses me off, how else?

[stuck-intheclouds]

cinnabarchang:

Clearly this was a sign that you need to get one! I’m pretty sure not everyone with a fire Pokemon gets their hair burnt to a crisp, Robs. I mean you run a decent risk of getting your hair sliced with like grass and bug ‘mons too.

Oh come on. I’ve got a Ground-type, Poison-type, Normal-type, Ghost/Steel-type .. You trying to push me to the Training Team, Mike? 

The ones I already have are a handful. Actually, just Bloo. But yea.

[stuck-intheclouds]

awildmadisonappears:

Did it make his fire-breath way crazier?

For a moment there, I thought he was evolving.

cinnabarchang:

[text] Meme game? Dear Azelf, I really am an old man. Before you know it I’ll be yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

[text] as long as you don’t get yourself a shotgun ...

[stuck-intheclouds]

awildquinnappears:

Why were you even giving him curry? Did that not set off any alarm bells from the get go? I’m surprised you didn’t call Bloo out to take care of the rest of the curry. 

To be honest I think you’d look good with short hair. 

The recipe book said non-spicy curry. So it was more like a meat stew than anything, but with curry spices. ‘Cept, you know ... Curry isn’t curry without heat. Lesson learnt.

Oh, I put Bloo on babysitting duty. Aka trampoline of the day.

Really? Maybe ... Waiting for hair to dry is the worst.

awildquinnappears:

That's actually a really good idea. I never thought about how did all that, to be honest. Sounds like a unique experience. Can't say I've ever been in that position but I'll take your word for it. 

Well the likelihood of us ever finding out is slim but I'll remember that if I do ever find myself face to face with one and need to decide which Pokemon to send out. Caspian it is. I've got a Larvitar now but she's a long way off being fully grown. 

Really? You're gonna go with compliment? Only you, Robin. 

It's a lot more tactical than sprinting, I suppose. More of the macro than the micro. Both are pretty darn difficult, in their own way. And sometimes I have to restrain Dune from using Earthquake to overtake the competition. That would cause a fair bit of trouble.

Yeaaa. That and a good chunk of the legendaries aren't exactly the aggressive sort. Like Azelf, Celebi, that lot. And if Rayquaza and Groudon or Palkia and stuff come out making trouble ... Well, let's just say I'm migrating. To space. Unless you're telling me Deoxys is up to no good, too.

I don't know, isn't ‘you taste nice' a compliment?

[stuck-intheclouds]

coordinatorelliott:

Do they make fire-retardant hair spray? I feel like they have to. Cause I mean…If they didn’t, all the fire-specialists out there would have a lot of problems.

Maybe you could talk to one of the professors about it? That way, y’know they might be able to help you work one out tat isn’t just all battles all the time, or something like that?

Isn’t hair-spray flammable in the first place? I don’t know, man, I’m guessing they just have to find alternate ways to do up their hair.

I can make my own routine, it’s pretty simple once you understand the fundamentals and all that. Just ... You know, chronic laziness. It’s a Robin thing. The Beldum’s probably gonna end up a paperweight.

[stuck-intheclouds]

awildmadisonappears:

You know that Growlithe breathe fires without you feeding them spicy stuff, right…?

Yea, but this time around this one was like ... Whew. He was doing a happy yelp and BOOM! fire.

[stuck-intheclouds]

breederbritt:

Preparing food is still important with all these hungry mouths to feed. It would be smart not to feed a Growlthe Chillies.You should really be more careful sometimes.

Who would’ve known? It was getting a bowl of curry and it started yelping when I took out the chillies for another Pokemon’s meal. How do you refuse a face like that?

[stuck-intheclouds]

cinnabarchang:

Well, at least you know how to really kickstart your fire Pokemon for a gym battle now. I mean, hopefully your hair looks good short too?

But I don’t have a Fire Pokemon. My hair was saved by some quick reflexes on my part, but I’m not about to tempt fate again.
