Bio

Well hello.

I guess I should introduce myself, huh.

I'm Gardevoiran, just some schmuck going to college and working towards getting a degree in Fine Arts.

I do commissions and what-not, and you can ask me to do a commission for you through my Discord (Gardevoiran #1429) or up here through RPGuild PMs, and I receive donations and payment through my Ko-fi page. Clicking the box right below here will take you to it.



I'm a nerd. I play Pokemon religiously, I dabble in some anime, I write up here, and I love watching incredibly awful movies and just making fun of them. Specifically things like "Leo the Lion" and what not.

I don't have much else to say, so I guess I can leave you guys with a really bad joke.

"What do you call a cow with two legs?"
"Lean beef."

Skylar's head turned slowly to watch the swimmer run away from whatever was going on at the shoreline here. All he could really see from where he stood was just a bunch of sandy piles and red specks along the top of them. That said, he approached cautiously in any case. He was still waiting for Breeze to report back if he found anything, and if he was going to get some training in this was probably a good opportunity if he could help.

"Howdy, sir! Do you need a hand?" Skylar rode Paradise closer towards the man, though the Tropius seemed a little hesitant to get much closer as she could actually see the Sandygasts and Palossand. Enough for his Pokedex to prattle off the entries. The hesitation wasn't lost on Skylar, though, and Forge also noted it and stepped in front of Paradise to stand at the ready in case this man wasn't as good as the group hoped.

"What's up, Paradise? We'll be fine, don't worry." Skylar pat the dinosaur's neck. Owlfred waddled off the boy's arms and flew up to his big friend's head, standing atop to watch the situation. "So anyway, are those your Sandygasts? They're not native to Isson, so seeing them here is a little odd."

Forge and Paradise both stood prepared, in case this turned sour real fast.

"Crap, he's not here." Skylar groaned, looking at the mail once again. Well... darn. What was he to do about that now? He was here at Stalfords, he could look for the guy some more, but... man, this stunk. Skylar looked around once again for a man with... wait.

"Hey, Breeze? One more look around for a man with a guitar case." Skylar asked his pal, who gave a nod and flew upwards to the skies and started to search around for any sign of the man they were looking for. Skylar himself meanwhile ran his hands through his hair in thought, staring at the ferry.

"... alriiight, um. We can't take the ferry without Kristy's badge, but I don't wanna leave unless we're absolutely sure this guy isn't here. So... hmm... let's go down towards Route 16's shore? We'll train a little if we can and pass the time waiting for another ferry to come in, maybe that guy will be on that one?" Skylar gave a smile, though it was clear he was a little worried. If the man wasn't there, he'd have to go to Witchpeak after getting Kristy's badge most likely. Not that he couldn't do that, but...

"Rowlowl?" Owlfred chirped in Skylar's arms, reminding the boy of their goal. "R-right. Let's go train."

Unless Seabreeze found anything or anyone, that was the plan. Down towards the shore, maybe do some training while they waited. Once that was over, well... time to actually finish tackling the Gym.

Whoops, two weeks later.

"O-Oh! Maybe that's not the greatest option then!" Skylar rubbed the back of his head nervously. Did that bird really drop things for fun? Whatever got your kicks, he supposed, but wow that was... wow. Zachary seemed to have some assurance though that it'd be fine, so Skylar nodded in affirmation. "If you're sure that everything will be fine, then I'm A-OK with the deal!"

Skylar took the pirate's hand and shook it, sealing the deal before passing over the required amount of money.

Skylar paid 2,000 P.


Of course, if everything went well, then Skylar would pay the remaining 2,000 when he got the egg. Call it a tip, call it a down payment, whatever it was, Skylar felt like it'd be fine.

"I'll probably be around Raremine for one more day to take on the gym and finish up some exploring, at the least, then I'll probably move North from there to Cooldome and Freecape, just so you get an idea of where to send the egg if you do go through with it."

With that, Skylar looked over towards the way he came from, and started walking. He waved back to the pirates with a smile, new friend in his other arm. "I'll be in touch!"

Seabreeze and Paradise followed behind Skylar closely, still enthralled with Owlfred. We'll say Bejeebs and Mac were put away as well, to keep things concise. Once properly out of range, Forge was let back out of the Pokeball and hastily affirmed that they were, indeed, not captured by bad dudes.

"Hey hey, it's alright bud. We have another friend."

And, much like their fellow team members, Forge was enthralled with the borb. "Grooo."

"Alriiight, back to business. Let's go deliver that mail, new priorities." Skylar looked back at the water and momentarily saw the Squirtle again, but elected to move on. The Squirtle could stay wild, that seemed fine.

Skylar hopped onto Paradise's back, and off the group ran, back towards town and off to Stafford's Ferry! (I think that's where the mail was going, anyway). They weren't particularly worried about making any stops, none of them had sustained much damage (if any at all) in that prior interaction.

"He won't stop me, that's for sure." Skylar laughed before offering a jolly wave. "Hello Elma, Mila!" As one of the girls went off to go see about Pokemon, Zachary freaked out about the Relic Vase. Skylar wasn't entirely sure why, other than it seemed like it would be something valuable to him. That said, maybe the boy just valued friends more than money. He wasn't entirely sure, but it made Zachary change his tone really quick.

Once it got a little zesty, though, Skylar zoned out and looked up at the ship where he saw the tiny little brown owl appear on Elma's shoulder and move down towards him. From there, Skylar was immediately captivated by the small lad. "Well hello there, little guy... ohmygodhe'ssocute."

Skylar was absolutely gonna accept, 100%.
Skylar obtained a Rowlet! Sending Pretzlcoatl to the box...!

"Your name is now Owlfred."
"Rowrowl?"

Holding the borb in his arms, facing him towards Zachary and the others, Skylar pulled back with the Relic Vase. "Ehhh, I'm not too fond of the idea of giving you a vase and just hoping I'll see you again. After all, if this vase really is that valuable, I feel like maybe working off of that way might be risky... but... I have an idea."

Skylar glanced down at Rowlet. "You have Pokemon not native to Isson. Surely one of them could carry the egg to me and deliver it, if you decide to... you know. When I get the egg, I'll give that Pokemon the Relic Vase to return to you. I think there was a Pokemon from Paldea who carries things in it's feathers, if I'm not wrong about my bird studies."

Skylar put the vase away. "Of course, I know that's also a little bit much of me to ask, but I think you charge for more than one Pokemon, right? Kalmia implied that when she told us about you. So - I'll pay up front, right now, for whatever the price of a second Pokemon would be, as a sort of trust. If and when I get the egg, you get the vase. Sound fair?" Skylar held out his hand from there, offering a handshake. "And if you decide to change your mind, that's fine. You did give me ol' Owlfred here, I won't be mad."

Meanwhile, with all of these negotiations, Seabreeze and Paradise immediately looked down at the small round boy and observed. What a small bean he was, indeed. Paradise moved his beak down and picked a small stray feather off the bird's head, enamored by the small little guy.
"He's friend shaped."
"Mhm."

"Lucky guess, really! I'm legally blind!" Skylar prodded his way closer towards the pirates, team in tow and with the thoughts rampant through his mind of what Pokemon he could request from the pirates. After a moment, Skylar planted one hand firmly into the other. He didn't know how many birds he could get, but he was sure that he was gonna at least get two if he could.

"Skylar Brighton, future Flying Gym Leader, at least after I get a few more badges. I love Flying Types and birds in general, and I've been, uh, studying them for a good part of my life. If... if that wasn't obvious." Skylar gestured to his team of a prehistoric bird, a seagull, a dinosaur with wings, a fighting chicken and a butterfly. He shrugged that off and continued. "And I've actually heard that there are bird Pokemon that were common starters in other regions, one that evolves into like... an archer specifically that seems really fun!"

Skylar paused for a minute. "And I know it's probably a long shot, but I do love Piplup. If you, uh, have one of those. I think only one Pokemon would be free, but I can trade this Relic Vase I found a while ago for another. Some collectors in Raremine seem to think it's quite valuable, anyway..."

"... man, I wish I could read this easier. I've gotta be so close to it." Skylar commented as he finally pulled the mail away from his face, having read it. "Stafford's Ferry, eh? We'll head right there, once we see the pirates. I think that's them over there."

"Wingull!"

"Hm? What's that, Breeze?" Skylar looked up at the nesting bird on the top of his head and looked in the same direction. A Squirtle? Skylar had to stare at the blotch for just a second but, sure enough, it seemed to be a Squirtle! Not a bird, definitely a Pokemon he liked.

He looked for a minute before calling back Forge, something he was planning on doing before talking to the pirates anyway, since he didn't want them to think he stole this Pokemon from them and ruined the deal. "Come back just for a minute, Forge. I promise, it'll be quick."

Turning to the boat, Skylar waved and shouted to the group. "Hey! Are you guys the pirates?! Kalmia told me about you!"

"Haha, cool. Welcome aboard, Greg." Skylar named his Nincada and noticed the item that was on it. Odd. Tunnel Mail seems kind of odd thing to carry around for no reason. He pat Jeebs on the head, following up to pet Forge. "Good work you two. Let's get to the shore."

Back in the present(?), the training went fairly well and Skylar congratulated each of his team members. "Good job, y'all! We'll show Kristy what for in just a little bit!" He looked out at the vast sea and smiled. "Gonna be honest, wasn't actually expecting this place to exist. I thought I just misread the sign, which would be pretty easy to do since... well... can't see that great, haha." After the giggle, Skylar placed a hand on his chin and pulled his Super Potions out of his bag with the other, spritzing Mac and Pretzl with them.

"Well, now that we're here, I guess there's no better time to try and see what kinda rare Pokemon we could find, eh? I've heard about a kind of gorging bird from Galar that I could reasonably bet might be here." Skylar chuckled. He doubted it, since the region had pretty restrictive control, but he could never be too sure!

"Guwingull!" Seabreeze soared back down to the ground and sat on Skylar's head, gesturing a little to Forge. Speaking of the chimaera-esque monster, they were happily basking on the sand in a spot clear of some rocks. Seemed Forge quite liked the sun.

"... oh yeah! I doubt that the pirate would be here, but could be fun to see if he was further down the beach! Let's go check!" Skylar stepped over to Paradise and clambered onto her back, the rest of the team following behind as Skylar and co. made their way down the beach in search of Rare Pokemon and Pirates. Forge also got up, albeit not happy to leave the basking spot.

... and while he was riding, maybe it would be a good time to check that Mail, eh?

Watching the... rather determined Nincada attempt to blind Forge was a spectacle. One the larger beast was particularly not fond of, but at the same time... they didn't fight back against it. They just watched the Nincada keep doing one thing and one thing alone - Sand Attack. That's all it did, and Forge just watched in annoyance. Eventually, Skylar took notice and stepped over, crouching to watch the Nincada as it kept doing the one thing it knew - Sand Attack.

"Brroooo."
"Ca! Da! Ca! Da!"

Forge stared at Skylar, still sanded. The trainer chuckled. "Alright, alright. Jeebs, Stun Spore."
"Vivivivivivivillon!"

Bejeebs flapped his wings quickly and shed a bunch of scales and spores out onto the Nincada while Skylar pulled out one of his Great Balls. Once the Nincada was paralyzed, Skylar would chuck the ball and hopefully catch in a one-and-done maneuver. If he hit. The sand was starting to get into the trainer's eyes, despite the sunglasses.

Regardless on how that turned out, Skylar gave a high-five to Mac after the Flame Charge training was concluded. "Good job, Mac! We'll get the hang of that in no time flat, at this rate. Once we do some battling and get you more accustomed with Flame Charge, we'll give it a bit more of a shot."
"Busken!" Mac gave an affirmative fist-pump.

Seabreeze floated down and perched atop Paradise's head, watching Skylar as he considered the group's next options. Pretzl also sat idly by, waiting for directions, though it was clear he looked hungry again.

"Alright, team. We've got maybe three more things to do here before I think we could move onto the next town." Skylar unfolded his hand and put up fingers as he talked. "We have to beat Kristy, that's non-negotiable. We have to stop by the Freecape Ferrymen and see if we can get a ride back to Pureplain, I wanna talk to that pirate guy about another friend. Lastly, I wanna see if there's anymore places we could train around here before Kristy. I'm thinking the Stone Shore, any opposed?"

After a moment, Pretzl raised his... wing/hand.

"Food was already on the way to the last one."

Pretzl lowered his wing/hand.

"Awesome. Well, for now... Jeebs, Mac, and Pretzl, back into your Pokeballs." Skylar called his pals back, leaving Forge and Seabreeze slightly confused. Paradise simply turned and started to lead the way with Skylar in tow. "Forge hasn't been free like this in a long time, I imagine, so they can stay out for now. Seabreeze you live outside the Pokeball basically always, and Paradise right there with you. I only wanna put you two up if I absolutely have to."

The two nodded in understanding, and Skylar happily hummed. "First, a stop to the center for a pick-me-up and some grub, then to the Stone Shore!"

"Alriiight, good work everybody." Skylar said, quickly returning everyone to their Pokeballs and making a quick run back to the Pokemon Center (which we can gloss over because he's coming right back to where he was anyway). With his team properly healed up, Skylar wanted to find some more wild Pokemon, maybe of the rarer variety. Even with that in the back of his mind, Skylar let his team out again and set his eyes particularly on two Pokemon - Seabreeze and Mac. Namely the latter.

"So, I had an idea for your new Flame Charge, Mac. I wondered if we could maybe see about aiming it skyward and allowing you to get some extra air from that. Sort of like a... a double jump! In video games!"
"Combu?"
"You jump off the ground, then you jump in the air using Flame Charge's speed boost to get some air time." Skylar scratched his chin for a second. "We could call it a Fire Drive, maybe? Or a Flame Jump? I just thought it might help you contend against some other flying Pokemon in the future if you could close that distance." Skylar then looked over to Seabreeze. "Breeze, mind helping us out? Fly a little ways up, and we'll see if Mac can get some extra distance with a jump to give you a tap of sorts."
"Wingullwingullwingull! Wiwiwing!"
"Not a hit, just a tap. Just to see if he could make it." Skylar reassured his worrying buddy. "You two got that? With that under our belt, versus Kristy's ground types, we won't have anything to worry about. Now, let's give it a shot!"
"Combuskeeeen!" "Wingull!"

While Seabreeze flew upwards and Mac followed on the ground behind, trying to get a feel for Flame Charge, Skylar turned to the rest of his team. "We're gonna keep training just a little more for you guys. I wonder if there's any rarer Pokemon around here... and a Nincada wouldn't be a bad thing to try and catch, if we find one willing to come along. So keep an eye out! We'll try and get you guys ready for Kristy, too!"
"Vivivilli!"
"Groooo!"
... Paradise nodded.
"Arrrchennnn!"

"Oh, sweet." Skylar tested out the cane for a few steps before nodding and giving it a twirl. "A perfect fit. Awesome. Thank you, Kristy!" After another few seconds, Skylar turned to look towards Sylvia, as if he heard her coming already. When prompted to receive a pair of glasses, Skylar took one and nodded once more. "Already a great fit. It's almost like nothing of mine broke in that scuffle!" He laughed it off. Great! That handled the replacing of his old equipment. Now, back to business. After a quick series of thank-yous and see-yous, Skylar and co. left to go training, picking up a pizza and some other food before Skylar stopped in thought.

"Alright, training, training. We've gotta be totally ready for the upcoming battle versus Kristy. Let's get some work done, yeah?" At first, Forge backed down a little at the thought of a fight. Skylar immediately raised his hands up to try and calm the new addition to the team. "No no, it's not like that. These are friendly competitions, not fights against impossible odds."

"Groo..."

"I'm not gonna make you fight if you don't want to, but I would at least like you to watch so you could learn something, okay."

"... gro."

"Good, glad we can agree, then. Let's go to the edge of town, guys." Skylar let out his entire team once again as the group walked towards the side of Raremine. Hopefully there the group could do some training against wild Pokemon from both the nearby route and from within the town proper, get an idea of what was really around.
