Kotone Ayatori [RP]

I think it depends on the person! For you and me it's the flow state, but for others it's probably like, uhhhhhh, a flow CHART?

Every so often I forget that there are battlers who aren't vibes-based like me, picking up all the neat details along the way, and that these other types of battlers have so much down to a SCIENCE....

They have spreadsheets of EVERY MOVE THEIR POKEMON HAVE BEEN SEEN USING. And they have familiarity rankings of each move. And synergy notes. AND THAT'S BEFORE YOU GET INTO THE DOUBLE BATTLING SHEETS.

It makes my head spin!!

((It doesn't matter that I feel like dogwater, I spent over a month making smilesunday art for Kotone, I'm gonna post it even if I'm not in a position I can reply on her yet!!!))

#SmileSunday from the #Pokeathlon Dome!! Just beat Whitney in the speed course again, so the after-event smoothies are on her!

"War is such a waste of time. Can't we all just not fight and not be mean? I-I'll give you a cookie if you don't wage war! Even a-an entire PLATE of cookies!"

"Greetings and sa-lu-tations!"

"I want to reach out in peace and kindness to someone who desires it! Do you want a cookie? Pizza fresh out of the oven? Help with personal problems (if I can actually help in any meaningful way)?"

I hope you're right! It's something that worries me a lot, which is sooooo silly I know! Like girls my age would KILL to look as young as I feel I do, but with me I feel it gets me taken less seriously?

She really does a good job to be fair! Like, sometimes I study her work before you clean it off~

is actually one of those things I'm self-conscious about. So like I'd LIKE for it to not be the case? But I genuinely believe it is.

Girl, you don't need a professional to do it! Let me do it! I might only wear the same three makeup sets most days, but I know now to do some REALLY awesome stuff!

Also like, I hope you mean you just don't buy that I'm right on me having such a baby face, because, like, aaaa, the baby face thing++

The problem is my hair being styled mature makes me look more baby 😔
I totally do though! Or at least I genuinely *feel* like I do!

((CUTE!! Goldie is actually @aurummeddle.bsky.social , but I am SO happy to see pet pics!))

Two things can be true at once~ Hot AND fun! Let's do it!

I mean stunning, and mature, but I don't know about *posh*. Meanwhile you have a face that is soooo good for pulling off mature looks with just a little makeup. Very versatile! That and your hair works well in mature styles, too!

Oh the first one is lovely, and I'd totally wear it on a date with you! It's just not posh!

I DO have great legs though. It's from all the pokeathlon rounds, also the needing to be moving a lot! They are one of the few things that don't add to the baby face!

((I'll get to other replies later. Goldie gets preference because it's easy to think of replies to her even when I'm faultering. ))

We both know that first one would have me looking like a life-sized doll! But the second and third... Hm you have a point... Though the third one, I'd totally look like a kid wearing her mom's dress! I just don't have the bust for it. 😔

((Genuinely one of my FAVE things about roleplaying in the pokemon world.))

Oh not a CLUE! She left last night, giving me a kiss on the cheek, which is what she does when she's going to be gone a day or two. She's probably being a little gremlin somewhere in time!

How do the academies handle it in Paldea? I know the group I'm with has worked with some professors in the region, but we're usually getting pokemon *from* Paldea, not sending them there after training.

Here in Johto and in a bunch of other regions, it's a program ran by the League, but that works in direct contact with our regional professors, and type specialists and breeders. I guess it's more accurate to say the League *funds* it? I'm a bit wobbly on the details there!

((I totally forgot you guys have been interacting, so I could have just outright called you Lep-mun!

I am enjoying the fact that this is like, a series that is incomprehensible with a single video, but as you watch the narrative is obvious, and that's a FASCINATING storytelling choice!))

We're totally not perfect! But we've learned how to work *with* pokemon and nature in order to enrich everyone's lives!

Oh I am a BIG fan of trains! Like, I'm no otaku, but they're really convenient and efficient! It's faster to use the bullet train to get to Kanto than it is to fly there. Teleporting would be faster, but... Well I just never caught a porter!

We're pretty balanced globally.+

Ooooh! I need to invite you out for crepes when Celebi is back! I feel like even though she's not a fairy *type* you two will have SUCH a fun chat!

... I have crepes on the mind right now. It doesn't have to be crepes, for the record! It can totally be other sweets.

It's awful she put so much work on you though! I guess she might have been in quite a pinch to really pile up work on a childhood friend..?

I really, really, *really* love being a part of the program that trains abandoned pokemon and eggs - fire types in my case, due to my speciality - so they can be given to trainers as starters, or given to suitable homes.

I mean, I like my job! Though I guess it's more my passions? I'm a pretty big deal of a trainer in Johto, er, I don't mean that in some egotistical way! Like, I do a lot of battle stuff across the board, and I'm also a consistent battler on Pasio!

I also do a lot of care of fire types.

((If you're ever curious, here's the link that was sent to me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6GK...

The narrative is an invasion narrative, where there's this constant back and forth of each side trying to overcome the toilets, and new factions coming into play. So far at least!))

Anyway! Anyway! What's your favourite food? Does eating it make you get bigger by default? It seems like you start to grow when you get happier!

(( *Watching order.
Sorry I'm pretty zonked over here because of migraines and nausea, and would be asleep if my body would let up on it, so like, I'm making typos all over the place.))
