What do you think about this whole North drama? Personally I think just like what you like.

In all honesty, I haven’t yet seen any of that drama surrounding North of my own volition, though I’m certainly not surprised to know it’s happening, considering the events of the game and how she’s written.

That said, I like North as a character and I think she got the short end of the stick for some parts of bad writing in the game. She deserved a lot more depth to her character besides simply being a love interest for Markus; both of them deserved better writing than being tossed together abruptly, especially when you have no intention as the player to make them romantically linked. It was rushed, but I hold no ill thoughts for people who love her and Markus together, and I would love to take the opportunity in the future of the blog to explore her as a character–knowing that there were androids made explicitly to be sex toys is a huge trauma, and one that deserved to be written well but unfortunately wasn’t.

I understand why people may feel one way or the other on the matter (it’s fandom on Tumblr, I expect that to happen) but I personally see her as one of several characters who simply deserve more time and depth to fully flesh them out as a person in the game, especially for the issues she carries with her background.

Noelle and Silas: Before and After

(Response to this)

“Ya want to turn into a Pokémon to understand him better? Hmm, I don’t think so. Most Pokémon understand humans, I agree, but it seems he only understands Pokémon speech. And you need to be careful what to say. Also, wait, you ARE a Pokémon? I thought ya were human and understood us. My partner tried to talk to certain one but failed.”

She does not know that North is indeed a Pokémon who can transform into a human.

“Anyway, ya can try, I suppose… Well, I think I need to go. It’s nice to see you both.” 

“Don’t forget me, okay?” She talks to Silas in Pokémon speech with a smile.

She uses Rotie’s Ultra Space app. But once she clicks “Home”, the app won’t respond. She clicks multiple times, but is sucked into an Ultra Wormhole.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!” She painfully screams. Later, she arrives in the same place again. But it got darker with a very gloomy atmosphere.

“W-WHERE AM I???” Noelle starts to cry. She checks Rotie, but Rotie has a message to say: “Apologies, but the Ultra Space app has been out of maintenance. It seems my mentor is trying to fix the app. An update coming in approximately 1 hour.”

“C’mon, Rimi, faster, faster!!!” she impatiently got angry. “Oh well, a little stroll couldn’t hurt.”

While strolling, she sees familiar colors. She checks the Rotie Database and it seems her description of Silas is missed. She carefully approaches the sound…

(And then, the conversation with him begins)

During this conversation. “...Oh, yea, it seems the name “Linda” is still in here, tho they might never have met one yet.”

Rotie starts to buzz.

“Anyway, I give ya a Houndoominite. Why? I have too many already, because I have subscribed to the service and they give this damn stone bi-monthly to any Pokémon who can Mega Evolve. Also, never forget me.”

Noelle gives this to Silas and leaves with a little chuckle. “Hehe, what a weirdo. Alright, Rotie, what’s up.”

“The app update is complete. Proceed to the home world?”

“Yes.” Noelle sighs with relief. An Ultra Wormhole opens and it now leads to our world.

“Are you okay, Noey?” Rimi nervously breathes.

“Yeah, I got a little headache, nothin’ wrong.” Noelle chuckles. “Anyway, there's a problem with Rotie DB, it seems part of my description of a certain someone is missing. Can ya fix her?”

“Okay, let’s go to our place, you can rest here.”

At Rimi’s house. While Noelle is napping, Rimi starts to fix the database. Unfortunately it takes a while before finding a glitch. About 2 hours later, it’s now fixed.

“YES, HE FIXED!” Rimi screams with joy. Noelle suddenly wakes up.

“WOW, ALREADY???”

“Absol-utely. Have a look!”

She shows a description of Silas. It’s now fixed.

“THANK YOU, RIMI! YOU ARE THE LIFESAVER!” Noelle starts to sob and Rimi gives her a kiss on the check. They both hug and Noelle starts to calm down. “Well, I think I should get goin’ home, it gets really dark here.”

“I’ve rescheduled our rehearsal for the next few days, because you deserve a nice big rest, honey. Bye!”

Noelle leaves the place and Rimi waves to her.

"Today, I like to sing a song for our birthday boy, Lunch!"

"LUNCH!!!"

Rimi sings a ballad rock song to Lunch.

(Mod: Okay, probably need suggestions what she is singing because I am not a songwriter and I am a sucker of finding decent and fitting song. If anyone have suggestions, comment or ask.)

Inari from @inaris-pokemon-world

A Familiar Face

(Response to this)

“Oh no, that’s not good…” Rimi is a bit disgusted at the story when Wisteria treated Silas impolitely.

Meanwhile, Noelle enters the courtyard. When she enters it, she hears the Silas’ cry of joy.

“SILAS!” She says with such excitement, but scared a little. “How’s it going? Anythin’ to share.” Of course she knows why he is not gonna answer, so she decides to pet him. 

“Here, here.” She is nervous because of the unfortunate trip to the future. But suddenly calms down and pretends that it’ll never happen to him. But let’s not tell what happened in front of him, because…yeah…spoilers.

“Looks like you’re both havin’ fun together.” Rimi smiles. 

Noelle is in playful mode now, but… let’s be honest, both Rimi and Noelle are adults, but they can be playful. So, they both start to play with Silas for a bit. And trying not to seek attention because some adults of course could be embarrassed of adults playing with children.

“Well, umm… North, yeah? Oh, Rimi want to give ya somethin’?” Noelle is now facing towards North and Rimi.

“It's a couple of berries. My mom had a farm in Alola and she grew berries, until she gave it to someone. And after that they keep sending some berries to our family of different kinds. Bitter is not our favorite taste, so I need to give some berries based on tastes.”

Rimi gives some aguav and iapapa berries. Somehow, she knows their tastes, but how did she…? Does Rotie has this hidden function of showing natures? Probably, but it is not working sometimes.

[@ask-north - North @ Athalia & Atrigul] North looked a bit uneasy at Athalia's presence, so she quickly gravitated to talking to Atrigul instead. She only gave the Zacian a nervous glance or two before she quickly decided to opt out of acknowledging their existence altogether. "Uhm, Are you royalty?? Your outfits soooo pretty! I wish I had an outfit that nice! Did you come from somewhere far away??" She asked the Zamazenta.

"I don't think I've ever seen royalty before, I think they do this thing called… uhm… uh… demo… car-seat? Where I'm from? We don't have any royalty. Though I do think It would be pretty cool to have princesses and princes! Maybe then we could have big scary dragons that rule the skies and knights who save the day!" Her thought process seemed a bit childish but her excitement for such things was clear, especially at the idea she was meeting someone who was royalty.

“I like to think of myself as more of a knight- defending my rulers and the innocent from scary dragons and other dangerous threats,” they held up their hands like claws to emphasize their point. “I am somewhat close to Galar’s royalty- or at least, I was back when we had royalty. Now me and Athalia mainly roam the land, looking for anyone who might pose a threat to us and the region.” The Zamazenta glances at her counterpart, who is currently guzzling what must be their umpteenth glass of champagne. “Oh, and thank you!” Atrigul says, bowing to North. “I am flattered you like my getup- you look quite lovely yourself!”
