Next in line for 'if fairies were pokémon trainers" is Iridessa.

In general, I think most light fairies would have electric or fire pokemon (reasoning for fire is because light can turn hot and literally burn- like Rosetta's hair...rip), which is why most of these pokémon are. Besides Sunkern who is a grass type, mainly because he replicates Iridessa's whole wardrobe based on sunflowers. And for Dedenne who is a dual electric/fairy type, it's because I think fairy type in general applies to almost every fairy Talent no matter what.

These pokémon I ofc based on Iridessa's personality too. I feel she would want to keep Torchic and Dedenne out of trouble like how she tries to keep her friends also out of trouble because lore wise these pokémon are clumsy and sneaky. Sunkern is anxious and resourceful like Iridessa. Ninetales is very intelligent just like her trainer, and Raichu is the laid-back, cheerful pokémon her trainer needs to calm down.

Artemis and Alene were starting to get sick of the endless homework. There were so many better things they could be doing!

Unfortunately, a certain homework-focused parent seemed to know exactly when they were faltering, and was more than happy to back-seat tutor. There was no getting out of it!

Homework wasn’t just about the grade! It could teach life skills, and most importantly it made her so proud of her kids that her mom-bragging would give them a great reputation! And those two loner could use the social boost!

Still, Iridessa could see the appeal of a quiet, hobby-filled life out here in the solitude. Her extraverted soul couldn’t handle it personally, but she could see what a nice life they’d made for themselves. They had turned out so differently from her, but she loved to see them grow nonetheless.

Grow like a banana tree, where they could live their best baby monkey lives… ig. Or maybe Iridessa just really liked monkeys this whole time. Angelica and Alene were the big painters of the family so I have no clue how Iridessa expresses herself via art.

Angelica’s old friend Armand eerily walked by the house during the visit! And Neighpoleon bravely protected his territory, fending off the intruder.

In another life this could’ve been Uncle Armand, but for some reason I never devote any time to fostering friendships in my saves. Maybe there just isn’t that much to do with them?

Anyway, have a bonus Artemis.

I love Iridessa. She's such a nervous wreck but it doesn't stop her from joining the shenanigans

In my last post I was talking about the seasonal Ministers, which got me thinking about potential future Minister candidates. I immediately thought of Iridessa and that one scene where she explains to Dr. Owl that if she was in charge, maybe Pixie Hollow would get into less trouble.

Paired with her cautious and no-nonsense personality, she would make a great Minister. And if I would imagine it, I think her Minister outfit would be an altered version of her original scrapped dress or her Pixie Party dress.

Iridessa eventually managed to redirect the conversation towards homework. It had been the #1 thing she’d focused on with her kids, so it felt nice to help with the homework again. Just like old times!

Although, now that her babies were living out in the wilderness alone, Iridessa was starting to regret not focusing on cultivating other skills they needed. Books smarts don’t equal street smarts, as it turns out! And out of all the kids, Artemis especially hadn’t cared much for cooking. So it was time to share some of Iridessa’s family recipes!

Unfortunately, expert guidance and increased skill didn’t stop Artemis from getting hurt. Wielding wrenches and blowtorches was one thing, knives were entirely another! Iridessa found it baffling.

Well, at least Iridessa could confirm there was decent plumbing out here! What more could her kiddos really need, right?

Alene had finally managed to put down whatever they were working on to come say hi. Artemis hadn’t bothered to tell them their mama was coming!

Alene was glad to see her. They lost track of time so easily, how long had it been?? They had so much catching up to do!

Artemis took it as an opportunity to go back to gushing about her rocketship. She was the first teen in space!! She’d seen so many cool things, and made so many cool upgrades, and and and-

Iridessa and Alene couldn’t manage to hold on to that particular conversation thread after that point. Iridessa tried her best to listen, while Alene openly didn’t give a bother. If this was all the visit was gonna be, they were just going to go back to painting or pottery or horse care-

It had been too long since Iridessa had seen her babies!! And they clearly had no intention of coming home just to visit, so she had to take matters into her own hands!

Besides, she wanted to see what sort of lives they had, out here in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks to the call, Artemis was expecting to see her mama, and actually put down the rocket science to say hi! And Iridessa was so happy to see her baby flourishing!

Artemis for one was happy to have the chance to show off, and catch her mama up to speed on gen 2s life so far! There were a loooot of spaceship process pics to go through-

Satisfied, Iridessa decided to make herself right at home! Might as well relax in style while waiting for Alene to realise they had a visitor.
