You think?

It’s about summer in Hammerlocke! So the flowers, the food, the Pokémon… just informative.

Oh; not misery! Just way too hot.

euch.

🤨

it’s good to see me isn’t it .

“showing off? me? never!”

oh! hugging back tightly! “hiya, sonia.”

me and my baby if you care

🍎 🐛

well. that’s okay! that’s why we have care leaflets, for when you do take ‘em home!

you stood your ground. no dynamax, no glitz, just raw grit. that’s something I’ve come to respect. maybe galar doesn’t need every gym to dynamax.

exactly! they need caring for in the later stage of evo. people just see a cute apple and think that’s it. but it’s not! it’s lucky that people like you still help out. the tradition? cute. the people who done research… eh… not so much.

hm. but you have dragon experience?

…Yeah… I know. I didn’t see it at first. I really believed in what Rose was doing—thought he was helping us build a stronger Galar.

secretly assessing people who want to adopt my dragons and chairman rose asks me why the numbers are down and i say we had no tourists as a line of tourists wait outside

well, yeah. and hammerlocke gets a bunch o’ tourists in summer.

oh, i don’t doubt that! what’s your type usually? not that i should be assessing, but… i like my dragons to go to the right home.

oh! right. thank arceus. i didn’t want my next agenda from rose to be meowth.

…you gotta make sure it’s lifelong and that you can keep after ‘em.

asking chairman rose for an extension on the trapinch pen i shake like a yamper

a meowth? damn. weird. i mean— not weird. just. didn’t know that was a new tradition. i don’t want to keep meowth.

well. sometimes you can — i mean; it’s a nice gesture, but it’s lifelong, you know? you can’t buy it unless you’re marrying them.

mm. but you can eat ice! and cool off. trapinch are too delicate. they complain if they’re too cold.

‘i want a sweet applin for my girlfriend because i love her’ and then im the bad guy for saying they are Living Creatures and that appletun have a care sheet. 🫩 it’s june 🫩

and who decided the applin were the romantic gift?! having to explain they’re a lifelong commitment to a fifteen year old was NOT on my agenda!

me when i have to hatch another trapinch in a week because one decided to evolve and we have a group of twenty for a party next week

me walking into the trapinch pen and there’s a fucking vibrava in there

guess who evolved already. that’s right. A BABY TRAPINCH. WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE PETTING ZOO. 🫩🫩

Hm. Sort of. But the mud can make their shell super hot. Like, bakin’ it.

Do you need ice?

Might actually stay off the grid today… unless the clouds wanna battle.

the only downside to it being summer is how hot it gets. the trapinch keep complaining!

coffee. 🫩

…i don’t think it was just the petting zoo that got me my title.

mhm. helps people get less intimidated by them. they’re good natured guys, really.

oh, they would! it would bring a ton of people in, too! they love being able to interact with the pokémon.

mm. it should bring in some tourists too.

ah, summer! which means (finally) getting to open the doors for the petting area.

/ i need to be here

“Really? Well; I won’t say no to a few extra hands on deck.”

Last time I drunk that I was on the to— hm. Maybe… it’ll keep me awake.

You do? What kind?

i don’t think three coffees in the morning is enough anymore

hammerlocke’s summer fest! hosted by yours truly — mostly to fund the raising of the babies that came in spring! ✨
