TM171: TERA BLAST.

this move changes depending on the pokemon using it. it indicates a truly adaptable trainer. (pkmn scarlet protag oc, by vlad.)

[tm171]

i'm still searching for a heart of my own.

independent original character interpretation of the protagonist of pkmn: scarlet, exploring themes of young adulthood, growing up too fast, and partnering with some of the most powerful beasts in the world.

LINKS: ABOUT / PUBLIC V PRIVATE INFO

rules below.

While Pokemon is typically a light-hearted series, much of my worldbuilding and characterzation is taken from talking with friends about the world-building present in the manga and our own world-building. As such, heavy themes will likely be present, including grief, death, the weight of responsibility, and the nonlinear path of healing.

My rules are very simple: don't be an asshole to me out of character and we'll probably vibe! Don't be weird! If there's a problem of some kind, by all means, feel free to approach me about it.

Things not tolerated are homophobia, transphobia, racism, and other such acts of indecency. If I see it, I will block you and blast you in public for everyone to see.

Other rules include:

I will not send in passwords, but please rest assured I have read your rules whenever we interact.

I roll dice to determine outcomes for roleplay & often use D&D mechanics. If this is a problem, this is not the blog for you!

I do not have any triggers of my own to tag, but will tag yours if they come up! My tagging scheme is trigger cw.

I am affiliated with a few other blogs on the site, but am happy to roleplay with others outside of that group! Pokemon canonically has multiverses. Let me see what yours has to offer.

"WATCH OOOOOUT!"

The shout comes from Linden, who is being rapidly dragged forward by a Hydreigon on the end of a leash it had caught in its jaws, with a Dachsbun and Gholdengo on their heels - and they are fast approaching the trainer in front of them.

[tm171]

... !!

There's a bump against Silva's leg before Terapagos is looking up at her with big, curious eyes. It seems extremely interested in her.

You! Familiar....know something else like us? Shards scattered everywhere.

The little turtle shifted back and forth before pausing and giving a long yawn.

So sleepy...the world is so bright. Slept for a long time. Wanna sleep even more.

After that, it curled up on her foot and put its head on her shoe to doze.

chat with the team!

[tm171]

“…”

Four little pairs of eyes were staring up at them, belonging to the four Maushold that stood at Ree's feet. They looked at them curiously - when speaking, it was difficult to discern which of them was talking.

Smell sweets? Treats? Have treats?

One of the littler ones grabs onto their pants, making the saddest little face.

Share treats with us?

chat with the team!

[toppercentageaskmemes]

"I wonder if you could design a saddle for Koraidon that has a sidecar...."

[makingpastries]

"Wait-...do you not have a saddle for Koraidon? At all? Have you been riding Koraidon without a saddle?" Carlos exclaims in genuine worry and exasperation.

[tm171]

"Oh, um! No."

They smile nervously, looking like they'd been caught red-handed. Someone must have missed the safety instructions about riding Pokemon.

"It's kind of like a Cyclizar so I didn't think I needed one, and it's real careful with me, so I haven't....bothered to get one...."

[tm171]

“Examine!” + Home Ec Teacher at Naranja/Uva Academy

It's Mister Saguaro! You really like his class. You don't think anyone's cooking can outshine your mom's, but his comes pretty close to it. The elective had been offered to you when you first came to the school, despite being on the Battling path, and you don't regret it for a moment.

He's a kind-hearted man and you feel like you could come to him for anything. Well, almost anything. There's some things you just keep to yourself.

You've brought him a handful of rare berries from Unova this time. Maybe he'll make something delicious with them!

what iiiiiif you gave me some headcanon asks

[tm171]

points at linden. what if you had a fateful encounter with jirachi as a child.

[bebopbounty]

Send “Examine!” and an item or person and I’ll write an RPG description of it/them.

(For example, a stormtrooper mask:

 “A white mask with a black visor on the front. Putting it on, you realise that the visor isn’t even transparent. How are you expected to do anything competently like this?”)

[tm171]

"I wonder if you could design a saddle for Koraidon that has a sidecar...."

[skullkxd]

“I had a lot of people who were rootin’ for me that couldn’t be in the area,” they explain. “So I had it live-streamed with my Rototo.”

the Corsola reaches out with her tiny nibs to take their finger, shaking it gently. Ree can’t help but be sympathetic to their plight, though, and gives a hum, shifting their weight.

“Nah. It ain’t silly… hey, you know, as a local I know a couple of good isolated spots to go,” they offer. “I can take you to em if you want.”

a champion, huh? Ree recalls, vaguely, about how the paldean ranks work. To become champion there, you have to pass the test, or the … league, or, something. Ree nods their head as they talk about it, and smile.

“So you’re not from paldea? Where you from, then?”

[tm171]

"A livestream is a great idea, actually." Arceus forbid that Iono hear them say that, after having to deal with that gym battle being streamed.

They beam a smile when Branchie reaches out, so excited to be accepted but cautious not to move unexpectedly and scare the little Pokemon back to hiding. Oh, how wonderful. Maybe they can find one of these little guys to take home as their own.

When Ree mentions being able to find isolated spots, they stand up and dust the sand from their knees again.

"I would really like that, actually. I wanted somewhere I could let my team out without them bothering other people."

They pat the Pokeballs on their belt, seeming happy that Ree offered, before shifting their weight.

"I grew up in Sinnoh, and then I moved to Unova for a while before going to Paldea. I've been to a few places since I was real little."

[tm171]

REPLIES!!!!

[ofpokemon]

He can't help but laugh a little at the Pokémon's excitement. He can't help but feel it himself. He spend a good minute petting the creature before turning back to the table. "don't worry I can make you one too."

Reshiram seems satisfied and goes to rest near the table, content.

"who looks familiar? M-Me?" he N points to himself feeling his cheeks turn hot. "N-nnno! I must just-just have one of those faces I guess" he lies, he's a terrible liar. Reshiram cranes it's head to stare at him. As if scolding him.

"uh- I'm N. Partnered with Reshiram." he gestured to the Pokémon, hoping that sated the other trainer's curiosity.

[tm171]

The name doesn't ring any bells, but they remember so faintly someone who looked like N...ah, maybe they were misremembering. Either way, they didn't want to make things too awkward when Koraidon seemed extremely keen on making a new friend.

Koraidon, for its efforts, was soaking up the attention and eventually sat down beside the table as politely as it could manage, croaking at Linden before they settled beside it and scratched behind the feathered crest at the top of its head.

"You're partnered with the Reshiram. How cool! I'm, uh, I'm Linden and this is Koraidon."
