Oh.

Perhaps I will test a cigarette now.

I quit.

Sphele is cute I guess.

I’m not dramatic…

Please accept this as formal notification of my resignation from the position of Mauville City Gym Leader. The decision has been made after sustained internal review and consideration of ongoing structural realignments—both personal and organizational.

Skarmory and I have been… attempting… to rehearse for dodgeball. What happens if you sever the ball in two? Is it a regulation block or a fumble? Mm.

@petra-fied.bsky.social [txt] We are partners. We should rehearse. I was not preparing for dodgeball.

Ahem. This is official. Liza signed off on it. 2025 Hoenn League Dodgeball Tournament Pairings Lisia + Brawly Norman + Liza Petra + Ford Khepri + Ignatius Winona + Sidney Phoebe + Tate

Dodgeball? I thought this was Volleyball…

John Paul, look at this email. “Upcoming: The Hoenn League Annual Volleyball Duos Tournament”? “Benefitting the Route 117 Pokémon Day Care”? “Required Attendance”? “Paired Randomly”?

I don’t think I’m good at this. But maybe that’s not the point.

Oh hello, Wattson. I hope you are well. @electricgrandpa.bsky.social

Petra, do you have time to talk? @petra-fied.bsky.social

To perform for a capitalist would be against an artist’s intention and would therefore violate the art in and of itself. Ahem. ANARCHY!

John Paul, do you think he will sign my Malignant Chain T-Shirt?

*trips on his way out when someone scoots their chair out*

I’m sweating.

PowerPoint offers a variety of standard templates for the less creatively inclined. One such standout would be the Plum option. Modern and professional while also earthy and approachable.

Quite the contrary. A neutral lavender is a perfectly appropriate shade for offices with high levels of stress to calm employees and pacify clients. My parents’ property management company utilizes this in their headquarters in Celadon City.

I’ve always been quite keen of purple.

I might be about to lose this bet and destroy my stomach in the process, but at least I'm gonna look good doing it. Ready for our dinner reservations? @ford.pokenavs.net

Photography is fine, I suppose.

Good evening, Hoenn. I’ve officially surpassed my 90 day review. As you all may know a gym leader and the league commit to an “at-will” two party contractual partnership. At the 90 day mark is a review for both parties to consider their mutual experience…

Practice lately has been a wash.

I will be on the popular YouTube series The Button tomorrow evening when the episode is uploaded to the The Cut YouTube channel at 8/7C…

Who in their right mind would dare approach a legendary Pokemon?

The Silph family is notorious for many of our business ventures, but many don’t know what we look like. About a third of our line possess red eyes… A peculiar trait with an equally peculiar legend as the only explanation for what genetics experts call a mutation.

Metrics, metrics, metrics…

Always read your employee manual.

Does anyone have a recommendations for business-professional appropriate steel-toed boots? Skarmory is molting razor blade sharp feathers just about everywhere.

I’ve offered Petra unrestricted access to my family’s carbon-neutral private jet numerous times...

Mm. I’m anxious to find out if I can keep up with them…

I’ve been preoccupied, to say the least.

Christmas Cards from my parents. They’ve replaced me with a Lillipup…

This will be my first holiday season away from home. I have to say I am at peace with that I haven’t been involved with decorating for my mother. She insists on doing it herself rather than hiring a service. It is the source of much drama.

Leader Wally has identical word art in his kitchen to my mother. I believe it states “I Stay Hydrated By Adding Ice To My Wine”…

It was a harrowing experience hearing it snoring atop that tower. Leader Wally said it was a rare occasion and a symbol of immense fortune. Everyone was clapping…

All my advice on the subject has already been given to my two students, Lisia and Petra. Seeing as they are your colleagues, my best advice is to trust their judgment and follow their example. Oh and Tate bites people, let Wally sit next to him at meetings, the green hair calms him.

Feeding Skarmory apples in the Mauville City courtyard. This city can feel rather…liminal. Like a 120+/- acre mall…

I am a simple man who enjoys dwelling over simple charts. But the complex members of my new institution have given me more confidence than any trend graph could in charting my way forward…

This is a Grimmsnarl.

I want to open his skull and inspect the contents of his brain. ❤️

The apps? Are you referring to the Microsoft Suite?

Oh wow that's a lot. Okay so uhm. Did you ever hear that news story about the guy in Fallarbor who dug a massive tunnel behind his house to look for fossils? Well uh. That's my brother. And apparently he broke a bunch of zoning laws.
