[[For the bulk of you who didn't notice the subtle url change--Miror B.'s blog has moved! Details of why will soon appear on the blog in a string of queued posts]]
[[This blog will no longer be updated, but it will be kept up as an archive of past posts. Trudly's and Folly's blog is still open, as is the Role Play side blog, don't worry!]]
[[I apologize in advance for this little run around!]]
[[This will be the last new post on this blog. See you on the New one!]]
Dear Miror: Since you seem quite hung-up over the fact that you never got to tame a Shadow Pokemon, have you ever considered using abandoned Cipher technology to create one on your own? Or are the risks (both to the Pokemon and to your career) far, FAR too great for you to even consider that option?
Dear Endarkculi,
I probably have the IQ of 3 and I can't figure out Shadow Pokemon technology in the slightest bit. I'm not even sure I completely understand the process.
I'm a dancer. Not a scientist.
Thank you for the lovely suggestion though. Maybe if Team Miror B. had some sort of research department I'd really consider it!~
"Hm?" Miror quickly turned around from the shop he'd been peering into, displaying some rather popular toys the Unova region had to offer. He seemed momentarily stunned to find not only Dr. Tomouki, but Ms. Aki standing just a few feet away from him.
And he had still been wearing the dress from his recent magic spell.
"...awkward doesn't cut it to describe this," he chuckled with a sheepish grin. "What on earth are you two doing here? Of all the people I've been running into lately, I didn't think I'd be seeing either of you any time soon! Let alone in the same spot!"
He glanced back and forth between Aki and Tomouki as he approached.
"...my boys didn't try another kidnapping scheme, did they?"
Skully (Dusknoir ♂ ) -- Yuki's very first Pokemon, befriended when she was still living in Lavender Town. Started out very shy as a Duskull and Dusclops, but quickly changed to being powerful and protective once he evolved into Dusknoir. Yuki's still sad that he lost his red cloak upon evolution. He is Yuki's powerhouse.
Yurei (Mismagius ♀ ) -- Yuki's first catch as a trainer. She's very loud and has a habit of popping out to surprise everyone she sees. Even Yuki falls victim to her antics to this day. She's known as the kamikazi of Yuki's team.
Ticker (Driflim ♂ ) -- An accidental catch during a short vacation in the Sinnoh region. Has a very sudden temper and doesn't like to be poked. Yuki's main transportation Pokemon.
[WARNING! THIS POKEMON KNOWS EXPLOSION]
Flicker (Lampent ♀ ) -- A befriended Pokemon Yuki obtained while familiarizing herself with the Unova region prior to her promotion being finalized. Her high special power puts her very close to challenging Skully for leader of the team. The only thing holding her back is lack of type diversity in attacks.
Shade (Darkrai ♂ ) -- Not even an official member of Yuki's team, Shade was hatched in her presence while attempting and failing several solo heists in the Sinnoh region. The baby follows her around and lives in her shadow, thinking she is his mother. His inability to control his Bad Dreams ability makes him a very difficult Pokemon to live with, but Yuki's learning to cope.
[Battle Potential unknown]
Yuki's on-reserve Pokemon:
Dusty (Minccino ♀ ) -- A shiny Pokemon pilfered off another trainer that had been randomly selected by her co-workers to use as a Therapy Pokemon to help Yuki with her fear of rodents.
[I’m only doing Miror B.’s because he’s the only one I have notes on!]
Miror B.’s current on-hand team:
Maestro (Ludicolo ♂) – Miror’s very first Ludicolo, noted by the matty fur and the chip in his beak
[Somehow miraculously alive!] [Too old to breed]
Iris (Ludicolo ♀) Won in an illegal gamble as a Lotad, as Maestro and Sissonne became too old to breed. Larger than the average Ludicolo, and a bit fluffier. Tends to show motherly behavior.
[Breed Ready] [Very Picky]
Giro (Electrode) Won from an illegal gamble after losing Spark. This was Miror B.’s first challenge to teach a Pokemon to dance without having any legs. So far, his technique needs some work.
Buck (Jumpluff ♂) A Pokespot catch, and possibly the first Pokemon Miror B. ever actually caught. Rarely used in battle and is used more as a tool for distraction or escape.
Specter (Eevee ♂ ) A gift to him from Trudly and Folly as an egg, and an unusual Pokemon exhibiting Albinoism. Considered to be a Pet Pokemon at the moment until Specter’s photophobia can be addressed.
[Currently not Battle Ready]
Yu (Uxie ♂ ) A befriended Legendary Pokemon that chose to stay with Miror after feeling he’d be fine with him. Miror B. balances between treating him practically human due to his high intelligence, and like a kitten because of how cute he is.
[Currently not Battle Ready]
Miror B.’s reserve Pokemon:
Re (Ludicolo ♂) Child of Bell and another trainer’s Grass Pokemon through sneaky breeding—part of a rare quadruplet nesting. His Rain Dish is very deep.
[Too old to breed]
Mi (Ludicolo ♂) Child of Bell and another trainer’s Grass Pokemon through sneaky breeding—part of a rare quadruplet nesting. His fur is very fluffy and thick.
[Too old to breed]
Fa (Ludicolo ♀) Child of Bell and another trainer’s Grass Pokemon through sneaky breeding—part of a rare quadruplet nesting. She’s a little skinnier than the average Ludicolo.
[Too old to breed]
Shadow (Sudowoodo ♂) Stolen from a trainer on impulse, believing it to be his snagged Shadow Sudowoodo. His calm and timid nature proved to be otherwise, but Miror kept him anyways, enjoying its goofy behavior.
Poppy (Ludicolo ♂) Won in an illegal gamble as a Lotad, as Maestro and Sissonne became too old to breed. Named for the Water Poppy, as well as his habit to ‘pop’ around when excited.
Hyacinth ( Ludicolo ♂) Stolen as a Lotad from a trainer who was refusing to give it water. Said trainer avoids Miror B. whenever he’s seen in Pyrite. Hyacinth has a very wilted palm from his time being abused as a Lotad.
[Too anxious to breed]
Lily ( Ludicolo ♀) A gift from an admirer after a Colosseum battle in Pyrite, while still a Lotad. She was possibly bred with another Grass Pokemon parent, as she sometimes sprouts flowers on her fur.
[Breeding status unknown]
Storm (Ludicolo ♂) Won in an illegal gamble as a Lotad, as Maestro and Sissonne became too old to breed. Lacking grace in his steps and tends to charge in and knock others down. It’s possible he has sight problems.
[Too clumsy to breed]
Kabuki (Shiftry ♀) Stolen from another trainer while still a Seedot. Kabuki is very aggressive compared to Miror B.’s Ludicolos, making her a powerhouse on Miror’s troupe.
Pokemon no longer in Miror B.’s possession:
So (Shadow Sudowoodo) A “gift” by his employer at Cipher. Miror did not have the time to properly train this Pokemon, nor identify a gender or personality quirk. All that’s noted was that it was very ‘punchy’.
Boom ( Exploud ♀) Part of a set of twins. Confiscated from Folly after his first failure with Wes in Phenac. Returned to Folly after reuniting with him and Trudly during the Cipher Scatter.
Windchime (Armaldo ♂) Stolen from another trainer prior to hiring Snag’em. Misplaced during the Cipher Scatter and presumed to have been returned to his former trainer, or found a new one. The only “Bug” Pokemon Miror has fully tolerated to date, due to not ‘looking’ like a bug.
Jazz (Golduck ♀) Stolen from another trainer prior to hiring Snag’em. Misplaced during the Cipher Scatter and presumed to have been returned to her former trainer, or found a new one. Had a love for ballet dance, despite her given name.
Spark (Voltorb) Found rolling out in the desert and later discovered to be a new breed of Shadow Pokemon, giving Miror a ‘spark’ to resume criminal duties and to start collecting Pokemon again. Eventually snagged away by Michael, much to Miror’s surprise.
Baton (Nosepass) Another wandering Shadow Pokemon, heading north and being stuck in place thanks to a rock wall. Again, reclaimed by Michael after some time, much to Miror B.’s annoyance.
Compass (Nosepass) Borrowed from a former co-worker for use of hopefully attracting an Aron at a Pokespot. Unfortunately, none ever showed up, and Miror B. eventually returned Compass to their trainer.
Corphyee (Dragonite) A Shadow Pokemon specifically stolen by Miror B. and Folly during a “bonding heist” straight out of the Shadow Factory during the confusion caused by Michael in the upper floors. Corphyee was meant to be Team Miror B.’s getaway Pokemon to start anew elsewhere before Michael showed up and snagged it away. This was the only Shadow Pokemon Miror B. came very close to properly taming while keeping it a Shadow.
[Several other Shadow Pokemon were in Miror B.’s possession, but all were with him too short a time to make proper record]
Deceased Pokemon Miror once owned:
Sissonne (Ludicolo ♀) – Miror’s second Ludicolo, given to him by a fan. Her stripes have a soft curve. Mate to Maestro.
[Currently deceased from old age]
Polka (Ludicolo ♀) – Child of Maestro and Sissonne; named not only for the English Folk Dance, but the very light polkadots on her Rain Dish
[Currently deceased from old age]
Click (Ludicolo ♂) – Second child of Maestro and Sissonne, noted by having two ‘fingers’ and a thumb, rather than typical mitten hands
[Currently deceased from old age]
Bell (Ludicolo ♀) — Third child of Maestro and Sissonne, noted by her rounded leaves on her palm
[Currently deceased from old age]
Do (Ludicolo ♀) – Child of Bell and another trainer’s Grass Pokemon through sneaky breeding—part of a rare quadruplet nesting. She has a very rounded beak
[Deceased from a Death Round in The Under Colosseum]
