Viridian Forest is, as its name implies, green. Very green, and, for lack of a better term, most certainly forested.
This is unfortunate, seeing as Clemont is, for all intents and purposes, a city boy. Working on the ranch with Oak was the closest he’s ever gotten to ‘in the wilderness’, and...
“Now then!” Christoph calls, dropping onto stage again - after the contest staff had cleaned up after the performances at least. “Now that our three hopeful Princes have completed their performances, let’s get voting underway!”
He then gestures, and his Castform comes from off stage, carrying a...
After moving on from the themed performance round, Barry, Keo, and Wally then needed to complete the freestyle appeal round.
“During the freestyle round, they need to do some kind of performance to impress the crowd with their pokemon,” Clemont explains during the intermission while scratching...
Orson's a very good boy too. XY has a really appealing art direction.
And yeah, Duude is a fun pick for Ash here. Slowpoke are either feisty nightmares, or completely lost, and I think that's fun to match the personality. But in terms of fighting style, Ash will have a lot of effort to put in...
At the Viridian City performance hall, Clemont and Ash had finally gotten seated - luckily together. It would have been awful to be separated, both for the obvious reasons and also because Clemont might just detonate if he had to be in a huge crowd by himself.
“...So, uh, Clem?” Ash asks...
It turns out that fishing is nowhere near as easy as Misty said it would be. Or as easy as Clemont’s colleague Siebold always said it was.
But then again, that man was a professional chef who outstripped almost every other cook in the region. So he was some sort of weird, enlightened man in a...
So I wanted to give him Sylveon. That was going to be a change, cuz Gary relied on Eevee a lot in this new backstory. Then I was like "I need a psychic type" to bring him over to the center...and realized the only canon psychic type he ever uses was Hatterene.
So it just sort of happened, and I...
Every time I'm like "Oh I'll write a bunch of chapters and get stuff done so my updates aren't so sparse" I get SICK -
Well, regardless of that bad luck, please enjoy this chapter. It's more...slapstick and silly than usual, but that might be because I've been watching a lot of shonen anime...
It's inspired by a piece of fanart I saw and loved to bits. Hold on...
His Hatterene is his only official psychic type he ever uses, and I decided to go all in on Fairy Specialist. It just seemed like fun.
Nurse Joys exist as a defense against all evils in the waiting room.
Not...
Gary Oak knew he wasn’t always the nicest person. That he hasn’t been the nicest person, and even though he’s been trying hard to improve, he still has his moments, and he can’t erase the moments of his past self either.
Gary Oak also knows that a lot of that isn’t his fault, intellectually...
“Sir, this way!” The Joy doesn’t give him a chance to try anything, as she grabs him and pulls him behind the desk with an incredible amount of force. “Chansey, if you please -!”
“Lu!” Chansey yells out, as she grabs her egg and chucks it forward, towards Team Rocket - where it explodes into...
Unfortunately, even though the skies had cleared, Ash and Clemont still aren’t out of the woods just yet.
…Metaphorically at least. They are literally out of the forested area of Route 1, having just entered the city limits of Viridian City..
“Redd isn’t really holding up well…” Ash said...
Stopping midway on Route 1 was a good idea, Clemont thinks.
Plusle and Minun are…already quite the handful, it seems. Plusle is eagerly biting into the onigiri almost the size of his head - or, well, ponigiri, if they’re made for a pokemon? Whatever. Minun, meanwhile, is happily waiting for...
So of course, in response to that, Clemont…
Went back to work, because he still had that to do. Plus, it was unlikely for Ash to have finished up work at the restaurant in the few hours since he’d left. Thus, work.
…And he maybe spent a bit more time than intended speaking to Gary about his...
Something something, don't worry about the state of the world's safety. The timeline has been moved up to be GSC Kanto because I like that a little bit more than base Kanto, and certain other features have moved up as well - but Team Rocket and other villainous groups have been frozen in time in...
