BW Survival AU - lesson 7

The once rich & diverse biomes of Unova are now cold & quiet. The dusty deserts are now icy tundras, the lakes & wetlands frozen over. Blizzards, hailstorms, & even thundersnow regularly blow through the region.

When the skies were calm though…that’s when it can be the most dangerous.

Wild Unovan Pokémon have become as harsh as their icy world had become. Those that hadn’t migrated, hibernated, or sought shelter underground or in caves, reigned with the kind of viciousness that comes from broken trust with humans. Ice types dominate, & only the strongest still roam openly in the wild.

Ansy held her breath, more out of habit than need, as the small pack of Duraludon tromped through, led by a towering, red-eyed Alpha Archaludon.

Ikrit, also out of habit, took out his (silenced!) Pokédex app to learn about the species. From what he read, he quickly decided he wanted to bring one on his team.

…But maybe not from this pack.

Lesson 7: Pick your fights.

—

I forgot Ansy didn’t have Sora in this timeline (though you CAN catch Castform). Maybe she can take Cirrus or Nimbus’ spot?

I’d been working on blog post about the Pokédex in this AU (which yes, does include Pokémon we found in Blueberry Academy) when I remembered this lesson I wanted to share for some time now.

This past year, I’d go through phases of wanting to just engage or just disengage. I hope in this next year I can find a better balance between these two responses to hostility - only give the fights worth my time / energy my attention while walking away from the ones that aren’t.
