I'm a lucky, lucky girl.

laylily Lumia is so proud. Amongst other feelings.

laylily Sometimes I am reminded that Lumia, as a Canadian from the Souvié Region (Quebec), occasionally has feelings about Kalosians.

Gimme a minute. We're totally gonna have a Pride Tournament. (Grumble grumble Kalosians grumble grumble.)

"Okay, @kvnoichii.bsky.social , I'm dressed up and ready for Hot Pot Night! I... am realizing now I'm putting a lot of faith in my tidiness and this white sundress."

Gonna get to give my girlfriend a lesson on queer theory and history. I was not warned about this possibility when I came out as a lesbian.

I think Scylla is very special. Give her time. I think she'll open up. And I have so much you show you when you get here. We can even do a little face paint. Just a couple of color swatches on your cheek. I have plans. (A nice set of pink, yellow, and blue stripes, probably.)

Right! I forget you and Scylla can basically super-teleport these days. Still getting used to that. But since that's the case, there's a Pride Event this weekend and I'd love for you to come down and spend the day with me!

Aww, you know how to butter me up. I am closing up for the day soon, so I could do hot pot in a few hours? Or if you're jetsetting somewhere, I can hop a flight this weekend.

I don't know, I've always found food fun. This might be why one of us is squishier than the other. But Hot Pot does sound great.

Good morning! It is now June 5th in Japan, which means it is Vulpix Day ( #ロコンの日 )!

(This was it. This was the trauma Chiyo was carrying. The stuff she didn't want to share or burden Lumia with. The things she saw as failures and signs of her own weakness. Lumia wrapped Chiyo in her arms, pulling her in tight.) Don't blame love because you think it's the easy answer. Please.+

Chiyo can punch through a brick wall (probably.) I, meanwhile, am trying to learn how to reason with a brick wall (also Chiyo.) We all have skillsets.

rotom, set a pin at the big stone company.

Just two regions left? That's amazing! If the other Japanese regions expunged your record, that creates a lot of precedent for Sinnoh to... (Lumia noticed the yawning and the general state of Chiyo.) Babe, have you slept? You poor thing. Why don't we go inside, eat, and get you done rest? You can+

(Lumia blinked. It took her several seconds to process the information. When it started to sink in, she looked up with shimmering eyes.) Wait. So... you're saying my fugitive girlfriend ISN'T a wanted woman anymore?? Well, wanted by the law. You're still very wanted by me...

If we're all letting our flags fly, then here!

I've been tasked to collaborate with the organizers of Unova Pride as a League representative! 🧡🤍🩷 This is kind of community outreach that makes me proud to be a Gym Leader.

This Pride Month is going to be a blast because Chiyo has literally never heard of Pride Month before. I get to take her to her first Pride!

Well, @idyllicrose.bsky.social said it was a beach day in Undella for Seductive Sunday, and I don't need an excuse for a beach day with my girlfriend, the Champion-tier cutie.

One thing I love about polyamory: I've really learned to not be jealous when my partners connect with other people. The downside is getting jealous when they have full plans with other people that sound so fun.

Babe. I adore you. I don't think I have a singer's voice. I'm pretty, and I'm neurodivergent in a way people find quirky enough not to hate. I'll stick with the photoshoots, but you should totally explore singing.

I'd say yes and obviously, but I'm probably very biased.

laylily So Survivor alumni tend to keep in touch and end up in constant contact. I'd like to believe the Pokemon leagues are like that. You become a gym leader or Elite Four member, and you just get added to a ridiculously crowded group chat.

I think my girlfriend underestimates how connected she really is in the grand scheme of things.

I am a fan of balancing my life. I invested so much time into reaching this point as a Pokémon trainer. And I'll continue to invest time, but I like having other interests. Things I can step away and indulge in, that let me come back to battling with fresh eyes.

I, too, was once innocent of this. And then I checked replies.

Spending the morning on a #fitfriday workout because I'm trying not to worry about a certain someone, and I know she'd appreciate if I keep up with my routine.

📲 apparently in bed staring at my phone. 📲 I guess I'll stay in Unova. Unless you would like me to head to Sinnoh to meet you when you're done.

📲 I hope you didn't type that with a straight face. 📲 You're right. We already talked about this. I just... well, I love you, and I hate pretending I don't. 📲 But I'll wait patiently. Please make sure your mom knows to contact me if things go south tomorrow.

😤 📲 Fine. I trust you to stay safe. Doesn't mean I don't want to be there to support you. 📲 I think a talk would be good. Just please be careful, Chi.

............... 📲 HOW DARE YOU NOT LEAD WITH THAT? 📲 I can be on a flight to Kanto in two hours. 📲 There has to be something we can do. 📲 You are not getting executed. I fucking refuse.

📲 you did? I'm so glad. As long as you're both safe. 📲 Chi. I love you. I'm sorry for how everything went down.

... why do I get the worry that Chiyo is in trouble? Well, besides the obvious answers.

Lumia raised her arm and tugged on the collar of Rosa's top, pulling her down to kiss her. "I missed this, too. And I'm glad we were finally able to take a journey like this together. I'm even happier that we can end this trip as girlfriends." The Elite Four would just be a cherry on top.

It was reassuring to know for certain that they were on the same page. Lumia leaned over, laying her head on Rosa's lap. She looked up at her with a smile. "Can we stop pretending we aren't dating? I'm tired of acting like I care if we're moving too fast."

It was only later at camp, with one new Frigibax running around and two in her PC that, in the quiet of the evening, it clicked for Lumia. "So... um. I didn't mean to drop an L bomb on you so suddenly like that." She paused, taking a deep breath. "But I do. That's what I've gotten from this trip."

laylily Lotus and I chose angst this morning.

/ this is, most likely, how the case would go if it ever went to trial.

(The desert was a little less intimidating without an active sandstorm. Her and Rosa passed on the desert during Lumia's first trip.) Still, they can kick up out of nowhere. Best to be quick. You can lead the way.

Okay, one more #SwimsuitSunday snack, then we go catch some new Pokémon in the desert. That place is about to suck, so let me have this moment.

I love her. She's going to give me a panic attack. If my hair goes from Blue to White in the next few years, please know it's her fault.

For the record, I am in no way casual about Articuno. 😓

Maybe I have city girl bias working in such a metropolis of a region, but I always assumed things are relatively quiet for the Kantonian gym leaders?

My flight got in earlier than Chiyo's flight, so I'm taking advantage of the Paldean beaches for Swimsuit Sunday. This isn't a vacation, but it also isn't NOT a vacation, you know?

I'm in Mistralton City to catch a plane. Articuno is wonderful, but I can't imagine flying on their back across an ocean. Besides, the weather here is so nice! Or maybe I'm just comparing it to the cool Iccirus climate.
