. . . Sorry for inactivity, y'all! I've been back home doin' Scolipede races! :)

hal🪽 ok once i finish my art comms , these will be available for pwyw ($15 minimum !!) i only use my own psds , and fan art will only be used if given proper credit !! dm me if interested , i'll start w 4 slots !!

[Sending out his precious Firmawyrm. . . the little Pokémon immediately inching its silly self towards his open palms, where it's small enough to sit.] There there, Firmy. It's okay. . . Nobody here t'hurt'cha.

[Staring at a Pokeball in his hands. He caught the Pokémon inside back home. He thinks it's special. . . He's kind of afraid to let it out, don't want people to overwhelm it, as it is kind of a shy Pokémon. . .]

Haaaaaaa... yeah, maybe a little too personal for a first hang. [Don't traumadump, Shiloh. Don't.] I'm relatively new to Johto. Any cool spots we could set up a tent and vibe in?

bsky.app/profile/post... casually drops a gloria right here. ))

((brb chat making gloria,,,,

Alright fair. Uhm. . . So, also-- should probably address that I don't have a wishing star or anythin'. . .

[Sudden realization.] Oh fuck, that community art studio I bought in Paldea with the winnings from my last race needs to be used. . . Ough. . .

((alright chat. making a sw/sh muse who will it be: marnie or gloria / victor

Wishing Star... [Looking that up on his Rotom Phone.] Oh. You gotta find 'em... Shiiiiiit!

Gym leader... Shit, yeah, we used to have one of those! Wonder what that chick's up to. . . [Shaking his head.] My team's highest level is 65, is that something you have prepared or should I use somethin' a bit more lowkey? I used to train other types, but they usually just vibe in the Box Link.

͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏ TEMPORARY PIN ͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏

Yeah, he's already contacted me. . . I gotta figure out this Dynamax stuff before then. . .

Hey, woah-- [Looking up at this tall guy.] I'm Shiloh. . . Uh, takin' a lil vaycay to Galar before Scolipede races start back home, which I'm the star racer, so. . . I was wonderin' if any of the Galar folk would be interested in a fair battle?

You're part'a the Galar league? [Looking Milo up and down.] Lemme guess, grass types? That feels a might bit unfair for you, I usually only use Poison! Should I use a different team? Oh gosh, but my Poison fellers haven't had a GOOD battle in a long time! [Paralyzed with indecision!]

. . . Do I even follow anyone who's in the Galar League? I need to battle people who won't bully me fer losin'. . .

Really? Hmm... Maybe I'll have to stick 'round here a bit longer. I'm on a bit of a vacation before the Scolipede race season starts, but I bet I could fit some battles in. . . [Thinking.] There's gotta be a way to get you balanced, Prof. All work an' no play makes people dull, right? ++

"Yo! You just wait! I'm going to be the hottest thing in every region someday!" -Hemlock. "Remember it!" -22 -Pan -Wannabe Rocker -Team: Toxtricity(F), Skuntank(F), Toxicoak(M). "Yeah, I know I have an issue with ground-types. Shove it!" -Home Region: ??? "Why does it matter?"

If I could find someone to have an honest-to-Arceus battle with me, maybe I'd be more comfy. . . but for now, I think the highest level is 65 on my squad. . . [Not bad, but-- his past has lead him to be a slow and cautious battler.] Do you work with anyone else, other than your superior?

[Oh man. Battle of the "caring too much" squad.] I do too, but humans always seem to gloat when they flatline my entire team of Poison types. Wild Pokémon don't do that, so I just stick to gainin' experience through wild battles. . . Do you have like, an assistant? That'd free up time, maybe.

(( I'm a firm believer in the "second sibling syndrome hop" headcanon. if you dont know, its the complex that sometimes goes to ppl who have successful and beloved older siblings, and the second child live in the first's shadow, so to speak. :(

(( hop is breaking my fucking heart... bubby nobody will leave you behiiiiind </3 </3 ! ! !

Fair enough. . . but, yeah. I don't battle people. They humble me a little too happily. I don't even boast, unless I'm like, joking around. . . [Shiloh wishes he knew how Hop was truly feeling, so he could suddenly say something profound and helpful.]

... I have a joke. Ahem. "Presidential Alert, the Galarians are fighting". This has concluded my joke.

(( www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHoy... thinkin bout this animatic again <3 ))

[There was a little relief on his face, though his anxiety beat louder against his brain than his heart against ribs.] I live really far away, different region, so maybe we could just find a field to chill in? I'll buy some snacks and drinks and we could just relax? Maybe a tent and blankets?

(( okay chat. have a few muses i could make. -Yancy (B2W2) -Marnie (SW/SH) -Giacomo (S/V) does anyone have any votes, or suggestions? /genq

Y-you don't have to maim yourself! Unless we find a Scolipede big enough for you to properly ride? There was that lady in Castelia who had the world's largest Scolipede! So, there's still a chance! You-- wanna hang with me? I'm-- shocked? People usually don't wanna hang. I talk too much. . .

. . . Context needed. However. [Reaching up to pat the Professor's back in some means to comfort.] Some people just ain't worth all the headache. . .

This is why I stick to wild Pokemon battling. Sure, it takes longer, but I don't have to risk gettin' DEMOTED?????

(( i wish shi could teach others to ride scolipede but i made a specific set of rules and guidelines for the fucking made up pokemon sport so i can't just be inconsistent </3

Thank you, I pride myself in being a silly guy! You-- want to learn? Well, there's a law saying Scolipede Jockeys have to be a certain height, since anyone taller that 5'5'' might hurt the Scolipede, and plus longer legs allows for cheating, which ain't allowed. . . but, I'm sure ++

[A nod, although he has no idea what a "cat" or "dog" is.] Oh, no. 90% of all Pokemon can evolve and change forms! [The Flapple is flapping in place, getting used to it's new form.]

(( i should make yancy from pokemon b2w2...

Oh, uh... No, I don't think Pokemon can talk? Some people are born special and can read minds of other humans or Pokémon, but that's been kind of a few and far between thing! [He pulls out the items required.] Applin Numero Uno! Flapple! [The first Applin begins to glow and change into Flapple!]

Oh, yeah! One second. [Opening his Pokemon Box Link, he's quickly scanning through for three Applin. He drags a few things from the touch screen and the Pokeballs on his side change out. He sends out two Applin and a Dipplin.] I dun' have Appletun, Flapple, and Hydrapple, but I could evolve them!

Plenny of dragons out there!. But if you want sweets dragons, you look no further than Applin, Flapple, Appletun, and Hydrapple!

Blow It Out Your Ass

(( artblock so bad i go insane

((Stolen. If we haven't interacted, I'm going to ignore the like, just to keep my brain from overloading just in case this gets like 10+ likes lmfao ))

. . . I wanna just buy 20 Kantonian Crepes and eat them all at once. Mmgh. Nutella and chocolate crepe.. .

[Shaking his hand, Shiloh is offering a gentle smile. Once they've shook hands for a NORMAL amount of time, he lets go.] I heard that name a few times last summer when I was in Galar. But, I have the memory of a Magikarp so I can't exactly place context from back then. Good to meet'cha, Prof.
