Aaaaah.... Finally... Two weeks of vacation starting today AND Remy's coming back? Best. Day. Evurrrrrrrrrr.

Pokemon Singularity

Anyway, I am sort of working on this. God's above I'd rather be at home working on my posts than dealing with relatives that I actively dislike.

@Remram

Oooh do I know that feeling. Hopefully, the next week will pass quick and we can get our Disemboided Voice back home, where it belongs, with us.

Pokemon Singularity

Wurgh, finally weekend at last. So tired. But, just one more week to go, then I get to go on vacation. Can't wait. I needs it.

Pokemon Singularity

Remy on vacation now.
Soooooooo... How's everyone doing?

Pokemon Singularity

Speaking of weekends and holidays, will you be getting a post out before you go on your two week trip, Rem?

Pokemon Singularity

Was browsing around the old youtubes and found a song I figured would also work as Evelyn's theme~

Song of Harsh Truths:

Pokemon Singularity

Time to gather berries, roots, apricorns, tiny/big mushrooms, dropped trainer items, honey/nectar (that I conveniently happen to have the perfectly sized bottles and jars for) and leaf stones! Go, go scavenging!

... Oh, and let's look for that not-so-extinct-extinct-pokemon too, I guess. Beofre any of those gacha-wailing geekazoids find it first.

Thankfully, getting an answer to her questions didn't prove overly difficult. Although, why this complete and utter mook with glasses that were frankly looking like they were amde three or four decades ago was giving her the 'Uhm, ACTUALLY, streamer' attitude and voice was a bit baffling... And annoying. Eve could feel the vein in her right temple twitch as she listened to this snide, smarmy dork explain. But putting his manners and attire aside, he did bring up an interesting tidbit.

A returning, extinct pokemon?

The gears inside Evelyn's head turned. What kind of creature could come backf romh aving been wiped out? Then again, the guy did say it had thought to be extcinct, so maybe the population had just been reduced to a very, very, very low number? Still, all these nerds milling about and excitedly searching for it... That wasn't a good thing... He said they were collectors, but they seemed like the types who thought it was more important to have something becuase it was rare or unusual, rather than because htey should treat it well and treasure it. That was... Unsettling... If this poor pokemon got caught by any of these bit-characters, it'd surely have a really unfortunate future ahead of it - as a display trophy or worse, breeding slave... The blonde shuddered at the thought.

Done with questioning the bug-obsessed geek, the fresh-faced young trainer proceeded to look around. That thing about climbing these giant trees for no other reason than to do it... Yeah, no, thanks but no thanks. While she had confidence in her fitness, there was no way she was going to try and get up into one of these goliath-sized dendroscrapers just because it was an option. Instead, Evelyn began her search for whatever other 'mons she could find. And find some she did.

First were some monkeys. But, like the dark-furred cats back in Grand Glory City, these guys gave off that whole 'Ehehe~ I'm gonna prank ya, bruw!'-vibe. Next up, she accidentally approache done of the trees which had been coated in that weird oozy liquid by the little rodent-thingies and well...

"Oh dear g--- GWAHK!"

While the fetching, prim and proper trainer may be talented at keeping her cool and compsure, not even she could deny the involuntairy gag-reflex that coursed through her body upon getting a whiff of the acrid, putrid stank of... Whatever this goo was. So foul was the smell that she had to put an arm up and cover the lower part of her face and quickly back away to get out of range of this evil evil, unholy abominable substance that, for all the things that were good in this world, better not be the type of rancid odor that clung to stuff. Because if it did, she was SO going to have Growlithe incinerate these clothes later. 'Cuz she was pretty confident nothing could wash away that stink.

Oh, right... Growlithe... And the others!

"C'mon out, guys."

Three pokeballs were thrown in a soft arc, and three trademark sound effects and beams of light later, and the triumphant trio of Eve's team had assembled, curiously looking around and sniffing the air. Well, Growlithe did most of the sniffing, Sentret did most of the looking and Joltik... Well, he kinda just tilted his head a lot and looked confused... Probably wondering where the heck the horizon and SKY had gone, sicne they were now both obscured by the humongous tree-trunks that surrounded the little squad on all sides and everywhere.

"Okay, we're gonna do a bit of forest exploration now, you three. I know, it's gonna be a bit rough, so don't go off on your own, okay?" An unexpected turn of events, as the glamrous girl who seemed to hate anything that didn't involve well-paved sidewalks announced her intent.

"Sentre, Growlithe, I want you to look around and sniff about. If you see or find anything out of place or that we haven't already seen, let me know, okay? Joltik, I need you to be on lookout and let us know if any wild pokemon are getting close or trying to sneak up on us, alright?"

It wasn't very clear instructions, other than she was apparently aiming to search or look for something. The idea was to use Sentret's Keen Eyes and Growlithe's Doggy NOse to try and find... Something... Meanwhile, Joltik, with its multiple eyes, was to act like a sentry and alarm - thus allowing the group to fight off anything that would be upset with them trundling through the forest and its potential territory.

Evelyn thus picked a spot. One of the big trees where the strange markigs from earlier were. She, as a compelete and utter maateur and novice, had no idea if these marks were fresh, old or frankly imitations, but it was as good a place as any to start. She checked her rotom phone, making sure to add a small marker on the map, so she could navigate back to this... Road... Should they wander to deep into the wooded undergrowth. While she had the phone out, the girl also took a bit of time to check out al the various pokemon that her peers had run into and seen so far.

"Oh? Those are cute... Aww~! Ooh, shiny... Wait, they're in the sewers... M-Maybe not... A blue fox...? Huh... Is... Is that one wearing a pikachu like a skin-suit-...!?"

After a bit of mixed reactions to the assortment of 'mons her fellow beginners had run itno, Eve pocketed her phone back and gave the command to get going. And so, the three pokemon and their gallant, gorgeous and not-so-great trainer set off, taking a detour from their path and venturing forth into the woods, in search of... Well... Something.

Evelyn has ordered Sentret and Growlithe to look and sniff for anything interesting or unusual - be it items or pokemon. Joltik has been put in charge of alerting the group to any encroaching hostile pokemon, and Evelyn will use all three of her team's members to fight off any would-be ambushers as they search and explore the forest. If they found any useful-or-precious-looking items, Evelyn would collect them using her [Stylized Work Gloves].

Leaving the hills and rocks and sleeping, half-buried dudes-in-the-ground and the frankly uncomfortable number of fishmern behind, Evelyn trotted on down Route 4,until something new started to coem into view. Trees, as it were. That was fine. She'd gone walking in a wooded area once or twice before, no biggie!

... Exept it was a biggie. A real biggie. Because as she approached and came closer, these trees... They somehow just kept getting larger... And larger... And what-the-actual-Gigalith was this!? These things weren't just huge, they were monolithic!! What the hell was in the soil that made trees grow as tall as frikkin' skyscrapers!? Heck, some of these things were probably as tall as the buildings over in NExus City! Evelyn paused, momentarily, gazing up in awe at the goliath vegetation that now stood before her like a looming Fortress of Doom.

Gulp.

Well, there was no turning back now. She'd come this far, and no way in heck was a ... Well.. Giant forest... going to stop her! So, following the small dirt path, she ventured forth, into the underbrush, underneath the massive canopies and trillions upon gazillions of leaves and branches above. It was sort of like going into a cave... Except... Outdoors... And up on the surface... And with less rocks... Anyway!

The first thing the blonde trainer noticed, was just how big these trees actually were when you stood next to them. Like, yikes! Just walking around a single trunk would take you a fair bit of time. Seriously, you could probably carve out an entire home for someone inside the trunk of these things alone. Hmm.. Actually, that mighjt've been pretty cool. A real tree-house. Evelyn smirked at her own internal pun. Thankfully, nobody elese was around to see it.

Moving right along and going deeper though, things started to liven up. There were pokemon, of course. A lot of... Bugs... Now, Evelyn didn't have a problem with bug-types per se, she loved her Joltik after all. But there was just something about a whole, damn, numerically inflated swarm of the little things that made you get gooosebumps all over. In addition to the party-worms and caterpillar-thingies, there were also... Frumpy mushrooms... Yup. Those were some grouchy-ass-lookin' fungus. When her rotom phone detailed what they could do, Eve got this weird feeling that it might just be better to leave those little guys alone for now.

What was odd though, were the people here. There were a good number of them, and a whole heapin' few were... Climbing the trees? ... Why..? And why were some of them so excited, but also somehow terrified(?), of those marks that were scratched across the bark and sides of some of the big lumberpoles? Wasn't it just some failed attempt at lumberjacking? Still, there wasn't any har in finding out more, was there?

Thusly, our intrepid beauty made her way over to one of the big trees, with those kinds of bizarre cuts or whatever they were, where there was an excited person standing nearby to. Hailing them in a friendly-enough-manner, Evelyn would ask.

"I notice a lot of people here are really excited about these... Scratches? On the trees. Why is that? And why're some of you trying to climb these giant things?"

Once she'd gotten her answer - and if she got none from this person, she'd move on to someone else and ask the same thing - there was only one more thing to do!

Yup. It's time.

time for Evelyn to look around and see if there any other pokemon lurking about that could be spotted or encountered, without spending too much effort or tredding off the little woodland-road too far. The search for more pokemon was on!

Pokemon Singularity

Ah, yes... It's both a Ghost type and a Fairy type... And the two type-specialists are both there, next to it...

...

Amelia vs. Valerian, FIGHT!

EDIT:

Also, very meh post is up for Evelyn's continued journey.
