Well, boss, let me be the first to welcome you to Awesome Island!

[Another unfortunate Koffing has met with teenager Archer's mean-spirited Poliwag. This time, however, it's just for more training- and, now, the fruit of that training! Evolution!]

[With arms, Poliwhirl can finally spike that Koffing over the theoretical net! Koffing is making the saddest face, but it is stopped by a gentle tap from its trainer.] ( Read more... )

[People, Pokemon, and Legendaries of note aren't the only ones that the Island likes to pluck from their home realities: it kidnaps plenty of normal Pokemon too, so Trainers and Champions alike have something to grind for experience on. Today's new arrivals all have two things in common. First, they are all unevolved cats. Second, they are all the ( Read more... )

[Everyone's favorite teenage mom is out today! She luckily managed to avoid the loss of sense event, but after noticing some odd behavior going around, she's making sure Clayton is alright. It's not exactly easy, since Clayton seems to be just now experiencing senses, but once she goes to tickle him and see if he feels it, he squirms and giggles ( Read more... )

[Ariana and Pete... no, that can’t be Pete. That’s a WOMAN. Pete has short hair and there is absolutely no way he would be caught dead in a skirt. ... ... right?

Ariana and a strange purple-haired woman are out today, and Ari’s putting make-up on her. Ari seems very happy to be, finally, doing girly things again. Clayton has apparently been ( Read more... )

[Today, at a reasonable hour of the day, Pete can be found slouching over a table in the CMA. He's got an grape float at his elbow and is busying himself by languidly shuffling cards, idly pulling out the aces when it amuses him.

If he catches anyone watching him, a completely-savory-absolutely-not-skeevey grin will spread across his face.]Hey. ( Read more... )

[The fight began as most fights do: with an innocuous, well-meant comment. Or, at least Archer thought it was innocuous. "Get a pokémon besides Koffing."

And so ( Read more... )

[ Today Proton is smiling, island. To those who know him, big or small, this just seems wrong. It's not a creepy or leery smile like when he's cutting things up or lopping tails off - but an honest to goodness, happy smile. ]

[ See, he's proud of himself - if you were here a little earlier, you'd have seen his battle with this pokemon as his older ( Read more... )

[Pete was just minding his own business, eating a blueberry muffin slathered in cream cheese. Like you do.

But then, he had a stunning, miraculous revelation:]

Holy shit. [He cautiously takes a sniff of his muffin.] This thing... has a smell.

[... ... cramming the rest of the muffin in his mouth, now. Once it's swallowed, he sniffs the air of ( Read more... )

[There's a table in the CMA today. It arrived mysteriously, and will probably be gone the next day. It is a prop table, existing for the sheer fact of setting up a post. Do not question the table ( Read more... )
