POSTING WHILE ON HIATUS IS A FABULOUS IDEA tags will be slow as hell

[Winter is almost over! This makes Giovanni very, very happy about life in general because winter is awful.

Of course, in some parts of the island, it's having one last hurrah... and since what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Giovanni is training in the Seven Lakes region of the island for once. ...he's not training for anything in particular

[Zorro is just watching so goddamned amuse man. Foreigners reaction to that Pokemon never gets old.]

[of_the_land]

...Rhyperior, just... use Flamethrower.

[why is this happening.]

[templarparent]

It's shaped like ice cream, so what? [Snicker.]

[of_the_land]

[...oh, hello]

I suppose that there are comparably strange Pokemon back home, but this... this takes the cake. Or the ice cream, as it were.

{ Rocket boss in my area what is this. Oh...you're the slightly less evil Giovanni right?}

Why are you here?

[of_the_land]

[oh it's.

not!red. who is still red. but whatever.]

...I'm training.

[...no seriously this ice cream thing is distracting]

[championfire]

{ Go go go. Getting out the pokedex...and just staring in disbelief. I...guess I can let you see it. Offering it for a second.}

[of_the_land]

[...pokedex...

...oh, when it gets pissed off it creates blizzards

well that's just dandy...]

...Rhyperior, just... leave it, for now.

[tsuuuun]

[Oh hi da- ice cream pokémon

KA-POKKEDEX because someone got their dex upgraded and oh my god ice cream pokémon that is like, the best thing ever]

[of_the_land]

[yeah uh silver you can have it

...he hasn't quite noticed you yet, he's still trying to figure out if this is for real...]

[tsuuuun]

A Vanilluxe... [He's not that big on ice types that are not in the Sneasel line, but. Ice cream Pokémon.]

[of_the_land]

...it has a name?

[the fact that it is not a hallucination is...

it could very well be more distressing, actually]

[theglovesstayon]

[... ok he's read about this but seeing it for real is...
It's dex time! Time to store all that nice data....
Hey at least he's got a fire type with him. And he's not showing any signs of recognising you]

[of_the_land]

[is that a person in his peripheral vision? he should ask them if they see this shit too-oh]

...Ah, hello, Silver.

[theglovesstayon]

[Ok Dexing done--are you talking to him? Turning]
Ah... I'm sorry, I'm probably not the Silver you're looking for...

[of_the_land]

...hm? What do you mean?

[...this is sufficiently distracting to get him to turn away from the fucking ice cream]

[dreamtofthemoon]

Having trouble with my kind?

[of_the_land]

[is that another one of those goddamn foxes]

I wouldn't say that.

[you are not ice cream, for one]

[dreamtofthemoon]

[ giovanni you love us ]

Really, now.

[of_the_land]

[no he doesn't...

well okay zorro is cool]

You're not ice cream, for one.
