"Yeah! It's not dragonfire, but... um. It's cool." Really put her tail in her mouth there. "And I think the colors are very pretty-striking. Pretty striking. They look nice."

Speaking of flowers... a particularly nice smelling one approached. They hadn't interacted as much as she would have liked. Cuicatl wasn't sure if she should initiate. Was it awkward? Cynthian called out to her. The dragon pivoted in midair to see that. Huh. She looked a lot different. Smelled...

Flowers had always smelled nice. Cuicatl had also found dandelions fun to twist around with her hands until the pollen had fallen out and her palms were a little sticky. Seeing them was better. It would be a long, long time before she got tired of hovering above gardens. Coco had come along...

I'm not entirely sure I'm allowed to do this but I'm going to try responding in the thread to this one, if only because my attempt to respond in discord at 2 in the morning was not wildly successful. I am steadily doing edits of Arc 3 chapters now. I think that this one will have some moment...

Yveltal (Kalos) “Proud Yveltal roars and the world is consumed. All that remains is a cocoon of flames. Those who have fallen from Xerneas’s grace are doomed to burn forever within. But those who embrace the creator, who embrace life, for them there will be a new creation free from the pains of...

Salamence (Bagon, Shelgon) Formidraco celercaela Overview Few pokémon inspire fear and awe in humanity like the great dragons. Of these salamence arguably has the greatest place in the human imagination. It strikes hard and fast and few pokémon but the fickle fairies can hope to take it down...

Octillery (Remoraid) Pseudocephalus viscaput Overview Many people are confused by octillery and remoraid: are they fish or cephalopods? Do they change between the two as they evolve? The answer is that they are both fish. Octillery’s ‘tentacles’ are fins they have some prehensile control over...

Fighting 3.20: Grand Trial Hala February 20 There’s snow on the platform. That’s a first. There’s been snow for over two weeks now. Long enough for a deep freeze. The forests on Northern Akala have a volcarona to heat them and a few of the meadows have a half dozen castform, but most of...

Clamperl (Huntail, Gorebyss) Aequor acritesta gigas Overview Coral reefs are typically associated with brightly lit warm waters. But not all reefs are found on the surface. The seamounts around Alola are home to many deep sea reefs, vibrant and biodiverse communities thriving well beyond the...

Toxapex (Mareanie) Duodecim acanthaster Overview Toxapex has an unfortunate reputation as the bane of reefs. It is true that they eat hard corals. If they appear in very large numbers they can even radically alter a reef. It is also true that they are natural denizens of reefs that play a...

Expect another entry tomorrow instead of a BT post. Next chapter of that story is taking longer than I would like. In the meantime, the end of an arc approaches and that means there's a new bonus poll! This poll's options are Charizard, Togekiss, Regieleki, Uxie, Yveltal, Zacian, and Zapdos...
