The Pokemon Legacy | 8.3
The last day of high school has FINALLY arrived for Mew! I would like to bask in this revelation for a moment.
…

…
Okay, I'm back now. Her teenhood felt SO. LONG. though, seriously. I think it was all those damn dates. I hate them so much now.
My god, the excitement. GEN 9 ONWARD TO ADULTHOOD!
BAM. PINK. How perfect is that hair? She was already blonde with short hair, and then there happened to be an EA one with pink streaks in it. Come on, now. I HAD to use it, and I actually really love her in it.
First thing I set her to doing was getting a job. She needs something reputable to fill her time, since all her teenage years were filled with nothing but dating, basically. It's not bad to date a lot of people, but it is better if you have other interests as well.
Education career! I would love having a teacher with pink hair, personally.
Time for Slowpoke to become an adult as well! WOO! We are making serious progress now.
HEIRS~~~~~
Mew continued her quest for five more woohoos, and the various townies came and went with little event, but on her final wish into the well...
We were blessed with a pixel_trade townie, Natt, by trappingit!! And bless him, he reminds me very much of the teenage townie fella she was so fond of earlier. S4 and blonde hair will do very nicely.
And I'm not the only one to think so! Awwww she looks so bashful. You aren't kidding any of us, deary, we all know you've done this before. You may continue being adorable anyway, though.
Bow chicka wow!
Did you all catch that? She has did the woohoo 10 times. Important stuff. Now all she has to do is find a handsome three-bolter to marry and make me a pretty gen 10 baby. >:3
For being pretty rude most of the time, Hazel actually had quite a turn out for her birthday. I guess sims don't mind if you're evil. They'll love you anyway. <3
They are so darned cute. It is completely ridiculous how adorable they are.
Aww, and that means it's time to say goodbye to generation 9, folks! I've got to get the dudes out before they age up and crash my game. I've already extended their youth enough, it gets tedious. I'm gonna miss them though. <3
I guess Mew drowned her sorrow in books? Shortly after the parents left, she maxed out ALLL the skills.
And Slowpoke decided to delve into the dating biz. She may not be signing up for 25 dream dates, but she has to look around a LITTLE to find her one true love.
GODDAMIT. THAT IS SO UNFAIR. Mew got how many dudes out of this thing, and you can't even give Slowpoke ONE?! Granted, Mew got the grumpy old sour puss a good many times as well, but that was because there weren't any more boys to give her!
Are you seeing this? Greeting each other like old friends. THAT IS HOW MANY TIMES WE GOT MISS CRUMPLEBOTTOM.
And there she goes on her merry way. As merry as Miss Crumplebottom ever gets, anyway, unless she's sitting at a bar. Then she awkwardly hits on my sims, usually. BUT NEVER MIND THAT. So rude to give Slowpoke this old crone instead of a date.
So it was the old fashioned way for Slowpoke as well, just going out on the town and trolling for hot people. Mostly though, she didn't find anyone that attractive, and we just got a dozen or so furniture warehouse discounts instead. Which are not cumulative, by the way. Between Slowpoke and Mew we really did get about 10 or so townies to tell us we would get a discount next time we bought furniture, and it was only ever the same amount off the original price. I feel that if we were offered 10 discounts, we should have gotten 10 discounts. I am very disappointed.
Slowpoke did get offered a blind date, though, and she thought the lady was reasonably attractive, two bolts. I was also thinking that with these blind dates, your sim really COULD use the "Did it hurt?" "Did what hurt?" "When you fell from heaven." pick-up line on these folks, because they really do just plummet down from the sky. I think I would be too busy barfing to say hello to whoever I was being set up with, if I had to free fall from god knows how many feet just to see them. I'll walk, thanks.
It was an okay date. A waste of time, in my opinion, as the lady is neither a three bolt NOR a pixel_trade sim. It was also awkward to have her friend stand there and watch the WHOLE time the date was going on. So I just got it up to 'great date' and called it a night, and started looking around the lot for any other possibilities.
I stopped for a moment to admire the Unsavory Charlatan's aspirations, planning on pickpocketing the richest man in Bluewater Village...
And when I found Slowpoke again, she had clearly decided that the date was NOT over. I nipped that little romance in the bud, and sent her home.
…
Why are you leaving presents at your old house, Hazel? You could have just bought them a statue when you lived there, couldn't you? I'm going to assume it was in thanks for a date she and Magcargo went on before they got married and she moved in. As soon as she became a townie again, it re-queued, to leave a present? IDK.
Day two of trying to find Slowpoke a special person to share her life with. Kelsey is totally crazy, it's true, and tried to beat up Slowpoke's dad, and GOT beat up by her mum, but they've got two bolts!
Not enough to hold Slowpoke's interest, though, and she was introducing herself to any other pretty lady that walked by, so again I just made the date a great one, then said goodbye.
She got all those pretty ladies' phone numbers, though...
And a hot brunette party was born! Quite an attractive turn out, yes indeed.
It was actually a pretty decent party, everyone found something to do.
A couple people tried to find someONE to do, but I wasn't having any of that. I'm trying to save you from having to date a bunch of people, Slowpoke, so you could stop making my job so difficult. Or, perhaps live up to your name a little, and take it slooooow.
*sigh* Or not. I had to shoo the pretty ladies from the house before any more shenanigans ensued, but Slowpoke definitely did a little networking, and may have found her lady.
Oh for pete's sake. You really aren't going to give up on being in this legacy, are you, Moltres? You're going to be your niece's coworker, now? Just to get some camera time? Good grief. At least work is going well for Mew, and with work all settled, that means...
We can move forward a bit on the relationship front! Oh, did I not mention that she had three bolts with Natt? 'Cause she does. So another date with Natt was DEFINITELY in order, and they were spookily seated at the exact same table Magcargo proposed to Hazel at, and though I took it as a sign, I didn't want a repeat scene, so...
Proposal in the park!
<3 <3 <3
Slowpoke had 2 bolts with nearly all the ladies, but the one lady in particular that we set our sights on likes her ladies fit, so I figure if Slowpoke gets in shape.... three bolts, here we come!
Success = date time! After a shower, of course.
Alejandra by brilliantcat is our winner, ladies and gents! Once Alejandra caught glimpse of those defined abdominal muscles and toned upper arms, it was three bolts at first sight.
So cute together. <3
:| I had this problem with Mew's guy, too, ironically. He had a fear of falling out of love with Solrock, and here Slowpoke's lady wants to marry her. Darn sims who want to date everyone!! They just go around breaking all the townies' hearts. Well, luckily these two have Mew and Slowpoke to pick up the pieces, so I hope they get over Solrock quickly.
This one was a ~DREAM~ date, of course (though there will not be 24 more of them, I am still stubbornly refusing to do that) and after a short kiss goodbye, Slowpoke and Alejandra parted until next time.
Moltres still refuses to part with this legacy, though. Look how pleased she is that she's worked her way back in as Mew's best friend. Clever little minx. You just know she's going to introduce herself to the impending kidlets too, and join generation 10 as well. Who knew spares could be so difficult?
Mew was suddenly stricken with a cold though, and was sent immediately upstairs for a bubble bath and lots of rest so she could get better, and couldn't converse with the crafty Moltres.
So Moltres roped in Slowpoke instead. -__- Where they discussed how cute the newspaper delivery girl was. o_O That's a little inappropriate, ladies, seeing as how you're both fully grown women. Best to not go for the jail bait, no matter how seductively she hands you the comic strips and weather.
Alejandra and Slowpoke's date went well, huzzah! As did Mew's bubble bath and rest, so double huzzah!
Less pleasant, though, is how clingy Nery is proving to be. Mew went on quite a few dates with him as a teen, but now she's all grown up, and he keeps calling.
Mew: No no no... I have a older, sexier version of you now. It was wonderful while it lasted, but I'm much older than you. Our love cannot be~~~ Please, stop calling.
He didn't stop calling. :|
Slowpoke took Alejandra on another date, and after a quick dance in the park, it soon blossomed into love in the park.
Slowpoke showed her love by painting a portrait of her leading lady...
and proposing in front of it. :3
I love looking at their happy little faces, man. Gets me every time.
DOUBLE WEDDING! Haven't had a double wedding in ages. Mew and Slowpoke are pretty close, and have similar styles, so I figured they would go for it. It looks like a very empty room, but that's just because everyone was too slow to get to their seats. XD There was a decent turn-out for the weddings, I promise.
LOOOVE~~~
See?? I told you it was a good turn-out. All the family was there to celebrate.
Every good party has a crasher, though, I suppose. Really, Unsavory Charlatan? Pickpocketing a woman on her wedding day? So not classy. You are not worthy to wear that top hat and dashing mustache.
Unsavory Charlatan: WTF? Three simoleons? What kind of rip off is this?
Me: Exactly how much cash did you EXPECT a lady to be carrying around in her wedding dress? You're just lucky you picked the one with pockets at all. I'm pretty sure she would have noticed you rummaging around if she'd had to store her cash in her cleavage.
Unsavory Charlatan: Never fear! I'll just catch the next wedding!
Me: Well, there won't be any more in this family, the next and last generation isn't allowed to marry, but maybe the next legacy. Good luck with that, fella.
