random quote of the chapter: Imagine you go to a party, and there’s cheesecake. You cut the cheesecake and take a bite, only to realize it is filled with bees; that is what Malsumis is like— and then someone comes up and they're like “I have bee poison.”. They put it in the cake and kill the bees, but then it is poisonous. Then they say “I also have bee antidote, it will make it safe but some bees will live.” so now you have a cake with bees that may or may not sting you. This is also Malsumis

*o3o you know, the random quote from the last one was from a Robot Chicken sketch. they made fun of Skylanders, you see. these random quotes are all just references. like this one. look up BlazingAzureCrow's Bleach (S) Abridged. o.o you'd think it'd be more well known ...
* that old crazy fisherman ain't original. o3o he's from Tard's Emerald Nuzlocke. i just wanted to include him here


*o3o man, i've been wanting to introduce Amphy for a while. o_o i was hoping to before the 1st anniversary, o.o but ... that never got to happen. o_o Amphisbaena's an esoteric reference (yes, reference. it's the missing slot here). o.o it's loosely based on a boss in Bravely Second with the same name. its even got a similar horrific backstory to its creation. the reason for this precise reference? i just liked its unnerving cry. that's it. nothing else

* i've imagined that reunion for a while. even had this playing in my head (o3o background fully included and imitated)


* you may have noticed that these new catches were not found in their actual places. o.o i wanted to introduce em much sooner. more development and shit. saves time too

*o3o i thought of that one liner for Kotonoha for a while. it's supposed to be a jab at how pokes in the anime only say their name. while over here, it's different

* aww, hugs are nice

*comment extra; we just have a short one here
*hops around* ... o.o huh ... i heard that these boxes were more full by this point in a trialgoer's journey, but this box is empty ... o_o huh ... i see something in the distance. o.o looks like something with spots ... *hops to the thing*
there we are *stops drawing* finally finished. o_o;; huh, Soun finally got something over here. o.o way to go, man
is it really just you? and what happened to your arms and your wing?
oh boy. i've got plenty to explain. you see ...



i don't own Pokemon, Nuzlocke, or any references used
