random quote of the chapter: oh, hahaha, hmmm ... splendid! simply delicious! oh ... haha, haha

*<_<;; i really gotta be faster with these things. -_- doesn't help that i was initially put in a day program for 2 weeks. ._. and got pretty depressed in the meantime. o.o anyhow, here's the 2nd part of the "filler"
*oh, the guide to those powers. here

*o3o and that's how the cute fat Cherubi ... err, Bounsweet made it to the islands. by something really stupid

* Cream knows more things than she lets on. o.o the child-like personality is real, though

* and that's another "wut" face to the collection

*that outlandish micro bikini? it's straight out of StudioOppai (they make porn, especially with Naruto characters. their art is often used, likely without permission, for random ads about some adult games). so's the pose, actually ... o3o but the string pull wasn't. there's something original. ahahaha ... ._. im a hack
*in case you didn't know it, the 2nd thing Soun did in the montage was Suikawari (literally "watermelon splitting"). it's a traditional japanese game played in summer, typically on beaches. a participant is blindfolded, spun 3 times, and then they try to smash the fruit with a sturdy wooden stick. it makes sense for Selene to suggest this since ... well, she's Kantonian

*o_o Mohn built a damn juice lounge and gets visitors every now and then, of course Barry the Barista's gonna make drinks there

*o.o you know, Soun's arms being like that was planned for a long ass time, even before he officially became the protag by vote. this is why when his bare arms are out in the open, i draw dotted lines. o_o this is also why he feels naked without his jacket. he doesn't want his arms to be seen. o.o and this is also why he's pretty light. his arms are why his weight fluctuates from 86-106 lbs. inspiration for the arms were taken from Dark Ray from Kurohime ... Dark Zero too. any of those 2 shinigami

* boredom can drive one to do many things and potentially be skilled at many things. o3o Soun is proof of this, as proven with his massive repertoire of abilities. Rapunzel from Tangled is also proof of this. that first song shows it. o3o it's a good movie, go watch it if you get the chance
*this was the song that Soun said he could play with his armpits ... this is also a blatant reference to the talent show from Total Drama: Pahkitew Island

* this is what Selene played. o.o i can't play the guitar, or the ukulele by default, <///< so here's some short and embarrassing recordings of myself humming
*oh, by the way, that original song isn't entirely original. it's actually (intended to be) an upbeat ukulele cover of an instrumental made by the guitarist of MintJam (a2c is a god ... o3o no really, he's a Guitarist On Demand). o_o but in the story, it is originally Selene's. much like how instead of SHOKK 青 , it's Tapu Koko who really made You Reposted In The Wrong Neighborhood

*for the lyrics to Mika Nakashima's My Gentleman, go here ... o.o i didn't intend for some flashbacks ... or to show the whole song. ._. but then i read the translation and i just had to ... it's about a failed love, you see ...

*o3o good ol Barry the Barista, here to fill everyone in with his psychic powers. o.o but only the stuff that they wanted to share. so Soun knows of Kotonoha's past ... but not of her own feelings. o3o and Kotonoha knows of Yumejin

* you thought i'd ignore Gladion? come on



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