guys. how do you stop a ferroseed from crying, asking for a friend.

hey, what happened in the shiny raid? is there a reason why these pokemon act the way they do? also, how is bamboo?

The cops informed the rangers that there was a shiny mill, we all worked together to get there and had to break through a reinforced wall to find all the Pokemon. They were all shiny and apparently were being sold for massive amounts of money. We've sent them to trusted shelters and daycares, with a few handed over to trainers we have NO CLUE why they act this way, the running theory is that it's abusive training but that doesn't explain all of it, like the complete lack of emotion bamboo is beside the couch, healthy physically but she hasn't moved or reacted at all to the prodding of my other Pokemon. sithis is pawing at her. nothing. apparently they wont even react to their nickname, so that explains why bamboo doesnt even take to commands very well when i call her bamboo

I have destroyed a van.

I have also taken one of the Pokemon. It is a shiny Doublade and it barely moves.

Please do not contact the police.

Ellisa solemnly took the little pink amphibian in her arms, "I'll... see what I can do," she mummbled, turning away from the ranger that dropped it off. The Pokémon sat rigid in her arms, the soft, rythmic breathing being the only signs of life as the professor in training carried her new patient towards the lab.

Foster Island Patient Medical Chart

Species: Wooper

Variant: Johtoian, shiny

Nickname: Squishmallow (does not respond)

Age: adult, unknown

Sex: Female

Notes:

1. Patient is in peak physical condition. All vitals and blood work come back normal. Cognitive tests are inconclusive. The patient does not respond to stimulus at first. Bright lights do not induce squinting or head movement, tapping the patient does not draw it's attention. The patient can be commanded to preform during tests, such as following a finger with just her eyes, but does poorly during reflex tests.

2. After determining that the patient was free of contagious diseases, we attempted to intruduce her to other members of her species. The Wooper pod living in a pond on the island welcomed the patient and attempted to engage her in swimming and nest building. The patient stood where she was placed, unmoving and unresponsive. Even when moving her to the water, she simply sank until being commanded to swim back to the surface.

3. An initial therapy session revealed very little. The patient was emotionless, and did not understand commands to express it's state of mind. Because this patient was nonagressive, I went in without my telepathic companion. Hopefully further sessions will prove more productive.

4. The patients room has been optimized for her species, yet she continues to stand unmoving, refusing to interact with the water feature or food supply unless commanded. Pearl (Gardevoir) monitored the patients brainwaves during this interaction. There was no change in serotonin regardless of food or stimulus. When commanded to sleep, the patient simply slumped over and immediately fell asleep. She did not wake naturally, even after ten hours, and had to be commanded to wake up.

5. During the next therapy session, Pearl was asked to dive deeper into the patient's mind, but came back to me with an image of a brick wall. Conclusion; the patient's cognitive thought has been turned off. A true brain scan may be necessary.

6. The patient was unbothered by the MRI. Various audio tests were preformed to attempt to trigger cognitive thought. Neurological pathways only lit up to the word "Wooper", and faded when it was not followed by a command. After a short break, Pearl communicated to me that she thought I was asking the wrong questions. A second set of audio tests were preformed while Pearl connected us psychically. The patient was commanded to preform thought tasks with varying results.

"Wooper, think."- a bright, all consuming light flashed over the brain image briefly. I could feel a sense of mild confusion through the telepathic connection.

"Wooper, think about something happy."- faint static in isolated places. There was something that felt close to joy for a moment, but no memories to accompany it.

"Wooper, think about your earliest memory."- We were sent immediately to a hazy scene. The inside of a medical office. "Stick out your leg," the voice was low and gravelly, coming from a figure wearing beige slacks, a blue scrub shirt and a white lab coat. The figure's head was not visible. Wooper's leg lifted slightly, and then the memory was over.

Conclusion; the patient only has memory of commands. The patient can be commanded to experience emotion.

Theory 1: The patient could be conditioned back into a sense of normalcy and self reliance through commands that include both a task and an emotion. The morality is questionable. Probability of success: likely.

Theory 2: The patient could be exposed to many experiences in an attempt to form a larger memory bank and be shown how to feel again. Probability of success: low.

hey guys!! sorry about the delay, i conked out on the flight and had to get settled in pretty late, so i was sleeping off the jetlag with lulu and bouton. bouton already misses bryony dearly, so i'm probs gonna see if i can get on a call later...

but, uh, i went out today for a bit! culai is sooooooo beautiful, i'm excited to take some pictures of this place to keep in a nice scrapbook, but someone wound up running right into me and shoving a pokeball at me before running away?? so i'm. confused and very concerned about that.

but they didn't come back for her. and i opened up the poke ball and!!

i love how cute she is, don't get me wrong, but...she's very, very quiet. it's kinda unnerving? i think i'm gonna hold onto her for a little bit; bouton keeps trying to play with her and she's doing a whole lot of nothing, so i'm gonna go to the center and check her out

hope you all have a lovely day!

I havent slept

Been talking to the cops

Cw blood and guts whatever the fuck

A guy broke into my apartment last night and tried to knock me out/fucking kill me/idfk/take bamboo away. He had some stupid sparkly insignia, im pretty sure its a variant of the glimmer logo. He did demand that i hand over bamboo and i said no, go fuck your mother, get out of my house

And he came at me with some kind of cane mace and i panicked and he sent his shiny Haxorus at me and. Bamboo was right there, I don't call her to her ball at home and i pointed at the haxorus and told her to giga drain it

And i must have missed becaude I was pretty drunk because CANNON WENT FOR THE INTRUDER instead of his mon and i had to call my other Pokemon over to help not get murdered

And it took a moment tobstop the haxorus but it escapedband CANNON WAS STILL FUCKING GIGA DRAINING THE GUY AND I FORGOT THAT SHE DOESNT RESPOND TO HER NAME SO SHE NAY HAVE GIGA DRAINED HIM TOO HARD

guy's alive. In a coma so we can't ask him shit. Bamboo is with the rangers right now. I might have to ftake up some of your lawyer offers. Im not sleeping at my apartment tonight, im sleeping at Kris's. Gym will still be open on the recorded days this week, I just wonr be around till Thursday

Idk if ill be able to sleep tbh
