To be clear, just because certain types absolutely body my fliers, doesn't mean I hold anything against the Pokémon themselves. I adore electric types; some of them are so cute! (Rock and Ice types are also pretty okay, but I have an electric-type bias.)

Well, it's apparently #SeductiveSunday and this week that means it's also #SwimsuitSunday, which means I got roped into another one of these photo shoots, even though I am NOT a model. But, um, I guess this one isn't so bad. A photo shoot could be a lot worse than this. For some reason.

I wasn't sure this gift would suit me, but I'll admit, I love it. Oh, the outfit is the gift. The doll is... I kinda just had that. I'm allowed to have my best friend's merch. I like Elesa a normal amount.

I don't know how Elesa convince me to do this, but I guess if it's for a holiday event. Fine, smiling through a special seductive sunday!

Is it the wiggliness? Is that the appeal? Hm.

laylily One headcanon I have that in regards to regions is that they are typically more like provinces than nations. That the first four regions are in a greater nation of Japan, that Unova is a smaller state in a larger American nation, etc. (Some nations are small enough to just be one nation.)

It's a rare and lucky group of people who see me with my hair down regularly. I'm convinced if I went out like this, most people wouldn't recognize me. (It's actually a good way to have some privacy at the gym, I'm realizing.)

laylily For the record: it's really, really annoying how much Skyla art, even fairly well-done Skyla art, whitewashes the everyloving hell out of her.

I'm not exactly the type to indulge in secret admirers. (Elly is the model, so that feels more like her burden.) But someone did send me these fancy chocolates, and it would be RUDE not to eat them, right? Anyways, want one?

(Skyla rolled her eyes.) Okay. I'm not oblivious. I know I'm... you know. Attractive. (She almost squirmed giving herself the compliment.) But my bestie is a world-class model and one of the most gorgeous women I've ever met, so I'm not going to have you diminish yourself either, you goof.

Pfft! (She poked her friend in the shoulder.) Last I checked, there were no cameras at Undella Town. So I've seen you all natural. (She paused, and her tan cheeks warmed.) Terrible phrasing. The point is, I know how pretty you are. You can't be modest with me, Elly.

"Rosa, you're crazy if you think I'd miss it."

(Skyla giggled. She couldn't stop from lighting up around Elesa.) I mean, that's high praise from the most beautiful woman in Unova. I'm not even complimenting you. I think I saw that in a magazine.

Summer is so close, I can feel it on my skin. I'm ready to pack a bag and jet to the best beach I can find.

Stooop. I'm weak to puns and you know it. Besides, you electrify the audience. But maybe I'd leave them... breathless! Okay, I got there in the end. Dang it. Fine. You win.

It's so hard to argue with that logic. You really are determined to embarrass me in public, aren't you? But... I guess if anyone could get me to CONSIDER this, it's you.

𝑹𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔 & 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒔

Woah, woah. THAT sounds... negotiable. But I like my feet on the ground or 30,000 ft in the air. A runway is just high enough for me to trip and fall.

And you can keep threatening that. 🩵 Doesn't mean it's going to happen, Elly.
