Hi! We're Team Dazzle!

[Ask blog for Amy & Skip! Questions/submissions/magic anons welcome; may stray a bit from Rescue Team’s story at times. Askbox is open!]

[team-dazzle]

what are your thoughts on w a t e r (inside and outside dungeons)

Amy: I love it! Now that I actually know how to swim I really like being able to take all sorts of extra dungeon paths. And it’s just fun! ...Not really fighting underwater, though. I still freak out if I’m held under.

Skip: I think my answer’s pretty obvious, honestly? I like water!

(@team-dazzle) Amy: What would a sun shard cost? And do you have a Moon Stone?

“And a sun shard… usually depends. I usually let the buyer choose the amount, depending on how many I happen to have on hand at the moment, which I have quite a few, so I’ll let you decide.”

Have you ever accidentally robbed Kecleon?

Skip: Well, it happened once by accident. We used a Trawl Orb to free up bag space, and, er...

Skip: It was terrifying! I’m not even sure where they all came from, and they were all crazy strong. Are all Kecleon like that...?

Amy: I’ve done it a couple times since, though! Intentionally. Kecleon doesn’t hold any grudges, there’s good stuff, and it’s really fun rushing through a dungeon being chased by a bunch of things that could kill me.

Amy: Hmm... they’re always really mad while you’re stealing, no matter what you stole, but I wonder if I could recruit one?

Skip: Probably burned your bridges, there.

[team-dazzle]

What are your favorite types of berries?

Amy: Oh, anything sweet!

Amy: My favorite’s probably Pechas, though. There’s not much food to one of them, but they’re really really good!

Skip: Petaya! It’s flavorful but not sweet, and it’s really spicy.

[team-dazzle]

What are your favorite hobbies?

Amy: I’m still in a bit of a trial-and-error stage with finding something! I used to make stuffed animals, but I don’t really have the dexterity to do that anymore. Or, uh, much of anything precise at all.

Amy: We’re pretty busy with work most days, and I guess dungeon exploration is still work... Mostly when I’m free I go and take a walk, and sometimes I’ll- wait, does the floor is lava count as parkour...? I do that a lot!

Skip: I used to collect anything weird that showed up at the swamp!

Skip: Now that I’m not there so much, though, I like growing berries. They’re useful, I can share them with everyone, and it’s always so satisfying to finally see them full grown!

So... the Luminous Cave is open again, right? What are your guys' thoughts on evolution?

Amy: I dunno. It seems pretty cool- Granbull didn’t get a proper choice, and he doesn’t seem to mind. I’d like to be even stronger, and it doesn’t seem to psyche anybody out like swapping species did for me.

Amy: I’m just...nervous, I guess. That I’d regret it.

Amy: I did go into the cave one time, though! I’ve just never had the Moon Stone to actually go through with it with. It’s really pretty in there.

Skip: I’m excited! I’d really like to be a Swampert someday.

Skip: I’m waiting to evolve when Amy’s ready, though, so we can evolve together! We haven’t ‘needed’ to evolve or anything yet, and it’s not looking like we ever will.

((BONUS: What their evolved portraits would look like!))

is skip,,, a cat lizard or dog lizard

Skip: Wh-what?

Amy: Hmm... That’s a tough one!

Amy: If I had to pick, though... I think he’s a dog lizard.

Skip: Seriously, what’s a dog lizard?? Why am I one?

[team-dazzle]

How is Caterpie doing?

Amy: He’s been doing pretty well! He’s safe and healthy, and he’s not scared of leaving town anymore. He even still wants to join the team, although it’ll be awhile yet before Butterfree or Skip feels comfortable with it.

Amy: I’m, uh, still not good at judging Pokémon ages.

(@ask-the-traveling-merchant) Noctis: “Ah, hello! You’re in a rescue team..? How long have you been in a rescue team for..?”

Amy: Hi! Yeah, I’m part of Team Dazzle!

Amy: It feels like a lot longer than it probably was, ‘cause of all that happened. But I was in the human world for a while, and we weren’t technically a team while we were on the run from the law... I should go ask Skip.

Amy: Okay, he says it’s been nearly a year since we started!

[team-dazzle]

How's life in general?

Skip: Great!

Skip: We’re a pretty well-known rescue team by now, most of our questions about Amy have been answered, and everyone’s a lot safer than they used to be. Yesterday there wasn’t anything on the job board for us to take! I’m really, really happy.

[team-dazzle]

Hello you two! What are your names?

Skip: I’m Skip!

Skip: It’s a nickname from back when I lived with a bunch of other Mudkips, but I think I like it way better than my “real” name now.

Amy: And I’m Amy! Nice to meet you!

[team-dazzle]

Amy, what were your first thoughts about turning into a Skitty?

Amy: This is a bit embarrassing now, but it freaked me out a lot! Everything sounded weird and I couldn’t figure out how to walk and the trees were so big...

Amy: I’m glad Skip was so patient with me, and- well, this sounds bad, but I’m glad Caterpie needed rescuing. When Butterfree came by I knew I had to help somehow, and then by the time we’d found him it didn’t seem bad anymore.
