   ❝ wait ! ❞  an outstretched hand is quick to go up in defense as he kneels before an invading silcoon.  ❝ that's beaugene, ❞  surely that was explanation enough.  ❝ you can't just teleport her … she'll get lost. ❞ [ Dia → Cyllene ]

Camera pan to Cyllene, rigid as stone with her shoulders practically up to her ears. She had "Beaugene" fixed with a wary glare, arm half-raised to command her Abra to do what it does best, but Dia got in the way before any command could be made.

She relaxed some, now that she knew the Bug-type couldn't make a (remarkably slow) beeline for her, but it took her an extra moment before the young recruit's argument got through to her.

When it did, her eyes narrowed.

Lost?

Pokemon belong in the wilderness, despite the rising popularity of their use among humans.

Clearing her throat, and strategically stepping back to the wall behind her, she gives the young man a wide berth as she makes her way around him to the doorway she'd initially been blocked-off from by the offending creature.

"Ahem. If it is yours, it would be wise to confine it to it's capsule when inside buildings. You never know what trouble it could cause."

Abra, still at the ready, followed her movements quizzically.

[wingbeatz]

   ❝ Oh, uh, no she's not mine. ❞

   A comical attempt to casually wrap his arms around the the large silcoon, as if with the intent to simply pick it up and move it, is thwarted by the blatant fact that Dia's arms barely reach around half of the pokemon's circumference. It looks more as if the survey scout is giving a friendly hug rather than trying to assist with the captain's problem. However, if the display demonstrates only one thing – the bug is harmless. 

   ❝ I swear Beaugene usually stays outside, ❞ his position shifts, from the awkward bent over embrace to instead leaning against the intruding silcoon, giving a half-hearted push towards the open office door ( with little success ). ❝ Maybe she just … wandered in? I bet she thought it looked cozy. ❞ The thought brings a subtly amused smile to Dia's face.

   ❝ Do you have any snacks? ❞ For what? He assumes it's obvious, no explanation needed. 

[crowgunky]

anyway. Diamond..i like to think he does this :

everytime he needs to focus / concentrate.

overall I view him a bit like a guy that's usually silly and a bit zoned out, but when shit gets serious he can like... lock in and pay attention. if it's needed. but usually he likes to just....take things slow and not think too deep about things... maybe cause it's less stressful that way.... who knows... I just love diamond 🌱

[wingbeatz]

He's trying his best to brush the cowlick down on top of his head to no avail. This is a first. But YIKES what if it grows out to look like Volo's hair !?

[wingbeatz]

playing as survivor in dead by daylight was all the preparation I needed for facing origin form Palkia in PLA iykyk

[wingbeatz]

when discussing Dia's Hisui team with mildew, the criteria became "how round is it?"

[wingbeatz]

DIAMOND :: VERSE - HISUI ::

Maybe he had been enjoying a homecooked meal with his team, or maybe it had been another slow afternoon playing the new Proteam Omega game in his room while his insatiable buddy snoozed a food coma off beneath him. Whatever it was that Diamond had been up to before finding himself in a strange void once more, was a mystery to him. While others remembered nothing but their names, he remembered everything but that final moment prior to being taken away from all that he knows.

Three years after the incident at Mr. Coronet, confrontations with Team Galactic, and vanishing to the Distortion World, "Dia" ( as he introduces himself ) drops from a rift in the sky into the land of Hisui, a world from the past that he knows nothing of aside from vague snippets remembered from history textbooks. With no knowledge of his whereabouts or ideas on what to do, he is escorted to Jubilife Village, where he is given food, clothing, and a safe place to sleep in exchange for serving in the region's Team Galaxy Survey Corps. Separated from his pokemon partner, his team, and his friends and family, Dia is forced to adapt and make the most of a harsher living reality while also investigating the rift that brought him here, all in pursuit of understanding why he was chosen by whatever greater power in the first place... [ This verse follows the timeline of Legends: Arceus, but more details will be added to expand Dia's story in the future. ]

i was at a conference this last week for work that required 10+ hours of flying time there and then 10+ hours back, which meant starting and playing most of an Arceus playthrough as Dia. this inevitably means I have to have a Hisui verse for him now. standby.

[wingbeatz]

I keep saying I'll be back here to write, but I still haven't done much. Trust that I want to, life and work has just been insane and stressful since the start of the new year. With a heavy heart I finally made the decision to move back to the continent to stay with my dad for a bit until I can find a stable job. The job market and funding opportunities for science in the U.S. are really competitive and not good right now, applying for grants presently feels like one big rat race, and things just keep getting more and more expensive here. It'll be nice to be physically closer to friends again, but I'll be watching for future professor positions here like a hawk.

tl;dr Life ain't easy right now, but thank you for sticking around and being patient with me if I'm selectively replying or not replying to DMs right away as I trickle back here. Adulting is taking a lot of my cognitive functioning right now.

[wingbeatz]

I wake up and am reminded of how @aelirus chose to ragebait me last night

[wingbeatz]

I finally got Jacq in pokemas and I won't shut up about it and I'm taking 500 screenshots

[wingbeatz]

I also did my part 🫡

[wingbeatz]

"Gym Leader. I find it curious that you continue to utilize Onix as a member of your battling roster. Even beyond its lack of power in battle, I recently discovered that trainers online are describing it as "Weaksauce"."

@aelirus // unprompted ( or was it? )

   Gym Leader. There it is again. Roark's brows knit together, visibly irritated by the refusal to use his name. He's convinced now that Cyrus goes out of his way to refer to him by the official title rather than anything else, and if he were feeling any less patient that day, well— the gym leader holds his breath.

   ❝ Onix isn't “weaksauce.” ❞ Fingers gesture with air quotes at the term. Is that even a real word? Doesn't matter. He can already hear his dad's mocking bark of a laugh if his son were to repeat the same thing in his presence. ❝ It's a working pokemon with incredible strength. It serves other purposes outside of battling. ❞

   Well known for its efficient tunneling capabilities, Onix are a must have on-site at the Oreburgh mine.

  ❝ But while Onix is strong, it's also gentle and nonaggressive. Attributes you consider weak in battle make it an effective trainer to new trainers. There's really no reason to throw a full-grown Tyranitar at some kid who just picked up their Turtwig from the professor. ❞

[wingbeatz]

Originally I thought Onix would not be on Roark's main team line up due to being older in age, but then Mildew brought up a cool idea in that rock types age more like turtles/tortoises, i.e. age might not be a factor. Instead, Onix is reserved as an alternate that Roark uses in battle exclusively for gym battles against new trainers (seeing as the Oreburgh gym is the 1st stop in Sinnoh), because it is generally weaker and slower and less aggressive than his more temperamental and predatory pokemon such as Tyranitar and Aerodactyl. Despite its big, intimidating appearance, Roark's Onix is gentle in nature, which is perfect for challenging, but not completely bulldozing, new trainers.

[eranthiss]

Sigh. Roark wants a Tyrantrum. He thinks Iris' Tyrantrum is super cool too.

"Okay, but do you? Even as a Tyrunt, they require a horrific amount of time, specialized care, and food, double or triple that if they're a first gen fossil. They're literally one of the last Pokémon I'd recommend as a first Dragon. Start with a Dreepy or a Swablu."

[wingbeatz]

   ❝ ha, well, I do have some experience with fossil pokémon. ❞ the gym leader provides a sheepish smile in response.  that had to count for something, right? yet, maybe just getting a close-up look at the Kalos fossils would be enough…

   ❝ but Dreepy or Swablu? Can't say I've ever really worked with a ghost type before. Actually, I haven't really worked with any pokémon that aren't rock types. ❞ In other words, Roark wasn't really considering the ‘dragon’ part of the ancient pokémon at all.

Something Guzma (the Alolan grimer gifted to Koa from the big boss Guzma) has proven useful for is being a living chemical spill clean-up kit. Splash some high concentrate hydrochloric acid on the lab floor because a stray trapinch biting your ankle startled ya? No problem! Little Guz is on the way. PokéTube video filming mishap results in a sizzling mess of Dragalge spit on every surface? Grimer Guzma has it covered!

[wingbeatz]

guys I need help. when considering protags from the early pokespec manga, why....WHY is Oak's grandson called Blue in some cases but Green in others. And then during the leaf green and fire red arc, why is Leaf/Green also then referred to as Blue??? please make it make sense!
