holy fuck skye beard real❓❓

#sparky has a whinge #i’ve been casually looking for any one with a beard similar to skye’s for consistency’s sake for a while #beards are RARE in pokéani and it’s almost always old men with long/fluffier beards #but this random dude from bulbasaur’s mysterious garden had Skye’s beard all along! #i try to follow the old art style for my pokéani art so it feels great to guess a design and get it right!!!

OMG, I also had a single VHS of the anime when I was a kid. It had So Near, Yet So Fardetch'd, Who Gets To Keep Togepi, and Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. To this day, I can recite the scripts of those episodes by heart.

haha same with my collection XD and they're also the reason I always liked abra, butterfree and gastly (when a gastly was the most unstoppable force they've faced)

pokemon anime 1x48-1x49

this feels like the right time to take cops in pokemon way too seriously, right?

just kidding, yay rope!

"bulbasaur's mysterious garden" is an episode i remember watching as a child quite well! i liked that it was focused on one of the starting trio, but i always thought the way it depicted bulbasaur evolving in groups seemed a bit weird? shrug!

look at this iconic shit, though.

this is a pretty straightforward episode that doesn't have any real lasting consequences or anything, but idk! it's nice to just focus on one of the protagonist's pokemon every now & then. b-rank

"the case of the k-9 caper!" gives us some light, child-friendly copaganda, which like i'm a fucking adult so i'm not going to yell & rant about it on my silly pokemon blog, but i did for sure roll my eyes at it pretty hard.

on the other hand,

james looks really cute in this stupid skirt/uniform, and i feel really conflicted about it. wait, it's ok because he's impersonating an officer, right? he's literally being gay & doing crimes? please just let me have this.

but what really makes me like this episode more than i otherwise would is there's this really cute part where team rocket has a voice changer and uses it to confuse the growlithe into obeying them, and try the same trick on pikachu but pikachu immediately sees through it and this happens:

and just when i'm like "awwww i love when brock is all insightful & genuinely good," he IMMEDIATELY ruins it like two minutes later by trying to turn this into a line to hit on the cop lady, sighhhhhh. same old brock.

but, yeah, that one little moment between ash & pikachu kinda makes the whole rest of the episode worth it? also, there's rope bondage! b-rank

new pokedex entries!

Episode 60 - Blastoise's Island

Onwards to Viridian City! Which means, of course, Ash first needs to head north across the sea along Route 21 and then pass through Pallet Town. Should be a short and easy path. If you don't know Ash Ketchum, anyway.

So, obviously, he gets sidetracked before he can even leave Cinnabar. XD A surprise Wartortle recruits his Squirtle to Surf to a nearby island, and Ash's group fucking steals somebody's boat and follows after them. Their destination is not Seafoam to the east, but a mysterious island shaped like a Blastoise shell where wild Squirtle-line 'mons can be found.

The place is kinda like that Bulbasaur secret garden place, complete with one fully-evolved Blastoise acting as tribal leader for all of the Squirtles and Wartortles. Problem is, Blastoise is unconscious and any attempt to approach and rouse them results in passing out right along with them.

This was a clever mystery that left me stumped. The ultimate culprit was poor Jigglypuff, who got clogged inside Blastoise's cannon, panicked, and sang for all they were worth. XD With a great deal of effort, Ash manages to unclog Blastoise's cannon, fend off another round of Rocket shenanigans, and get back on the water.

To Route 21? Or to return the boat to whoever its owner was? Only the next episode can know.

Z-Move with a Price (Epilogue)

My first attempt at a P.O.V short story; hope you enjoy!

Summary: ‘While a battle you were forced to engage in pursues, your Z-Move attempt has mysteriously backfired... and now you have to pay for the consequences.’

⚠️WARNING:⚠️ Explicit language, mild violence and gore, sexual preferences. Read at your own caution.

During the next afternoon, you and Guzma were having lunch together at the Pokémon Center café; you were working and catching up on some research assignments for Professor Kukui on your small laptop (as well as messaging him through different emails about some of the situations you endured through the week after receiving a text from him about a local news station stretching a segment of how you hooked up with Guzma during your imprisonment at the Pokémon Center, and hoping Kukui would see through your emails as it was all a deep misunderstanding); meanwhile, Guzma sits across you, drinking his favorite Tapu Cocoa and checking his cell phone which he hasn’t looked through in awhile.

You and Guzma were both quiet but stayed with each other, while your Bulbasaur naps comfortably next to your feet; it was honestly a nice and peaceful stillness the both of you were enjoying, but you felt something off between you and Guzma. You look up and actually notice a deep concern in Guzma’s face, perhaps still feeling a bit worried after visiting Golisopod in the recovery room since yesterday, and rightfully so. You began to think of what would’ve happened had Golisopod gone the opposite of rehabilitation instead; you’d not only feel remorse about it, but Guzma as well, and you’d probably suffer more than just the shit you went through all week, maybe even sharing a grave with Golisopod as well. You shudder deeply at those thoughts, but luckily, to both your end and Guzma’s, Golisopod is safely recuperating in the next room, being carefully observed by the Pokémon Center staff and doctors.

A few minutes afterward, you start thinking about Guzma’s offer of starting a new relationship with him; even though that little... copulation yesterday was more of Guzma’s punishments toward you, it didn’t really stop you to actually think of a possible new romance with him. In all honesty, you did developed a... slight crush on him after your first meeting turned battle with him at Malie Gardens, thought he’s handsome in appearance at least, and despite his bad attitude act he does hold a care and gratification for those he deems worthy, especially to his organization, and notably how he saved your Bulbasaur from Sven awhile back.

Your reputation as ‘Kukui’s research assistant’ may have gone a bit down the drain to the public’s eyes, but that was what held you back from developing new feelings for Guzma; sure it personally may take you some time to get used to the idea, but it’s definitely the least you could do for not only saving Toothless, but you were definitely holding back your personal feelings toward him.

Guzma had a hand laid out on the table while he continues to scroll through his phone and drink his beverage; you look across your small laptop, seeing an opportunity as you check out your assignments for the day. You close your laptop and stare restlessly at Guzma’s hand on the table. You hesitated to even think of grabbing Guzma’s attention at first, and thinking of all the strange occurrences you went through under his watch all week; but now you didn’t care, some of the punishments you deserved, some were unnecessary, and most of them were definitely awkward but you’re past all that now.

He’s an asshole, yes, but he’s your favorite asshole.

After another moment to work up your prowess, you slowly reach up and brush your fingers across his knuckles and onto the back of his hand, feeling the rough but warm skin under your fingertips, and eventually you wrap your palm atop his back hand, which finally grabs Guzma’s attention. Curiously, he stares at your gesture, but then he hears you speak with a soft and gentle voice.

“I... I’ve been thinking... about your offer to me.”

Guzma puts his phone back in his pants pocket as he raised an eyebrow in interest once you mentioned Guzma’s offer to start a new relationship with him, and he continues to listen as you persist in your words. “I... since you and I had gotten off with a... very rough start as rivals, and ended in an extremely bad situation up to the moment you saved Toothless... I guess, it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to start fresh with you. Honestly, I... may have had a teeny-tiny bit of feelings for you, at least until that shitty incident with the Z-Move (sigh). But now...”

You took a breather at the moment, but didn’t leave Guzma hanging as you manage to finish off your explanation to him. “... Now, with Golisopod getting better, and I do owe you one for saving Toothless... I guess we could be something more together; start off a little slow, and then see where it goes from there.”

Guzma gives you a small smile, slightly smug at first but you weren’t finished just yet. “(Ahem) Basically... what I’m trying to say... is yes; yes Guzma, I’d like to start something new and fresh with you. There, I said it, and I’m actually not regretting it this time.”

Guzma’s smile widens now, with a true form of love in his eyes. Deep down he’s always had a soft spot for you, just didn’t know how or when to show it to you until now. While your hand still lays atop his, Guzma then returns the grip as he gently lifts his hand from your loosening grasp and curls his fingers through yours, firmly holding your hand in place against his palm.

The two of you stare into each other’s eyes awhile longer, slowly beginning to feel an invisible shroud of adoration and tenderness. Shortly, Guzma cups his hands onto your lower jawline, lightly pulling you closer to him as you leaned forward over the table, and with gentility he finally kisses your lips.

His soft and warm caress leaves you in a new state of being, one so comforting and relaxed you feel as if your own soul has integrated with Guzma’s now that you’ve decided to start a new beginning with him.

The moment was shortly interrupted with a café patron noticing the two of you kissing as they grabbed your attention in speaking with a shocked expression. “Y-You do realize you’re kissing... the Boss of Team Skull, right?”

You didn’t care anymore, while you were too tranced in Guzma’s kiss you let out your middle finger at the spectator, giving them the bird as a way to tell them to ‘fuck off’. Guzma lets out a small giggle as he noticed your gesture, and then both you and Guzma continue the makeout for awhile longer.

----------

The day has finally come; with the help of two other staffers, Nurse Joy leads Golisopod out of the recovery room and heads him into the lobby, where you and Guzma were waiting patiently for him. Internally, Guzma felt more than thrilled to see his best friend again, despite still being bandaged and slowly recovering, Guzma walks over to Golisopod and starts petting and nuzzling against his little head, with a small hint that tears were about to shed from his charcoal gray eyes.

You kept your distance for good reason as you watched with relief in your entire body that Golisopod has made it through his surgery, giving a loving and heartfelt smile to see him and Guzma reunited once again. Then you remembered how Guzma said you are to stay with him until Golisopod gets better, although specifically he never really said you would leave.

So, while Guzma and Golisopod comforted one another, your more logical side feels this is truly the right time to finally leave the Pokémon Center, and leave the events of you and Guzma behind. You’ve suffered enough by his shenanigans, you’re tormented enough to finally put the Z-Move incident in the past, and yet... your heart says otherwise.

As you walked near the exit, your Toothless stops you for a moment with one of his vines clenching on your wrist. You look down to see what the matter was. Toothless’s expression looks worrisome, as though he didn’t want you to leave Guzma and Golisopod behind, which made you think back of what you said to Guzma awhile back; how you want to make up for hurting Golisopod with your Z-Move without being punished for it.

Even though you agreed to start a new relationship with Guzma, but it somehow wasn’t enough to really make up for your mistakes; sure, you accepted him as your newfound love interest, but that was a whole different topic between you and Guzma. Your concentration now is Golisopod, and can he ever forgive you for nearly killing him?

Guzma continued to cuddle against his beloved isopod Pokémon, when he hears you whisper lightly to grab his attention.

“... Guzma?” You asked.

Guzma turns to face you, a slight confusion in his expression at first but listened as you continued.

“... Listen, I-I know it’s odd for me to say this, but... would it be alright if I stay with you a little longer?”

Feeling more bewildered by your question, Guzma keeps one hand on his Golisopod in comfort while he takes the other and lightly points his index finger at you while replying. “You... want to stay with me? Even after all the shit I did to you these past few days?”

“Well, I mean sure this past week’s been... eh, interesting, to say the least, but... I want to stay for Golisopod’s sake. I want to help you make sure he gets better and back on his feet, so that maybe someday... we could have a proper battle again. No Z-Moves of course though; in fact I promise I’ll never use them against Golisopod ever again.”

“Hmh... That’s uh, quite a bold promise right there princess; you sure about that?”

“Of course-- but, that doesn’t mean I’m giving up the Island Challenge or my research job, in case you’re wondering.”

“(Chuckle) Can’t argue with that, I guess.” Guzma continued. “But let’s see how my boy here thinks of you; go ahead, make your amends with him.”

You approach Golisopod, the logic side of you wants you to be nervous but you actually buck up and start your conversation, starting with a simple apology, almost the same one you explained before to Guzma before you two started to form a new relationship with each other.

“I... I’m truly, very, deeply sorry Golisopod; it was an accident, and I still don’t know how it even happened. I promise though, I’ll never use those moves on you ever again, no matter how much I need to.”

Even Toothless makes a coo to Golisopod, telling him in the native Pokémon language for you that you apologize deeply and severely for your mistakes back in Malie City. 

Golisopod cocks his head in understanding your apology, and then he sees you reach up your hand slowly but within inches to his nose; Golisopod studies your hand at first wondering what to do with it as he studies you and your tender movements toward him. Truth be told, Golisopod has already liked you, ever since you first encountered Guzma back at Malie Gardens after returning from a trial hosted by Sophocles back at the Hokulani Observatory. In fact, he probably already knew you didn’t mean to hurt him at the last battle in Malie City; he can sense through you that you are only a Pokémon Trainer going by the rules of battling, and despite you are an outsider from Kanto, you probably still have a lot to learn about Z-Moves anyway.

Then, Golisopod nudges his nose against your hand, accepting your trust towards him; afterwards, he reaches out his large taloned claws at you and hugs you tight in a bear hug, as his way of forgiving you for your mistakes.

“Huh. He took that better than I thought.” Guzma remarked with a smirk. “(Chuckle) Guess I didn’t need to punish you all that much after all.”

You groaned to yourself, feeling annoyed how it’s possible Guzma would know his Golisopod would forgive you after the accident. Fortunately, it’s all in the past, and all you have to do is help Guzma make sure Golisopod gets back to full fighting spirits, and perhaps as you said before-- have a proper battle next time.

Pokemon Indigo reboot Ash team.

Ash’s Indigo team:

Pikachu

Pidgeotto

Charizard

Gengar

Bellossom

Kingler

Primeape

I'll explain the changes, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are gonna be going to Misty and Brock, Kingler will become Ash's water type main and Bellossom will be the Oddish from the the mysterious garden. It would be a nice call forward to Johto, Primeape and Haunter will stay longer with Haunter actually evolving. Finally, Pidgeotto will get the respect it deserves by winning more battles instead of being sidelined.

Stop

VIII. Rehash

The aim of every generation is to devour succulent babes attract fresh fans, which necessitates simplicity.

Keeping a cretinous tone not only lures in tasty toddlers, but alienates a significant portion of the previous intake, freeing plotlines to be recycled for noobs.

Cod Kanto delights in digging up cadavers:

A Talent for Imitation! is Team Rocket helping Ditto with Transform.

As was Ditto's Mysterious Mansion.

From the days when retaining the face was a failing, not standard incompetence.

Geniuses only copied an adventure removed from continuity.

Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower! concerns 'Saurs gathering to evolve.

In no way reminiscent of Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden, or indeed the Venusaur-themed repeat in the future.

Ancient magic flowed from these woods, like a haven beyond the scope of Time.

A realm of the ages, rebirth and eternal life.

The secret world where Man dare not tread.

Well it's bulldozed and they're all dead.

This barbarity, exterminating holy beauty, echoes the ruination of Pokémon as a whole.

It's O's ping-pong school at last!

Nah, it's a Gym, for that's the one thing Vermilion's lacked all these years.

Destination Coronation! is Pikachu versus Raichu at Vermilion City Gym.

Now...

Unlike the above, it deigns to reference the pillaged predecessor, beckoning for defence.

When it pretends lifts are creative, fanboids lie these count as 'call-backs', 'cause stealing is meta acknowledgement, innit?

If it acknowledges repetition, on come the lectures of it being proof of undeniable canonical fidelity.

...

Feigning originality at least meant children weren't aware of poor facsimile, but flaunting imitations shows even greater contempt for an audience.

But it's an entirely new Gym Leader!

Instead of Surge:

• Short, spiky blond hair

• Chunky eyebrows

• Lantern jaw

• Black fingerless gloves

• Stomping black boots

• Owns Raichu

• Dog tags

• Visible six pack

• Tanned

• Muscular

• Flanked by a couple of biker mates.

We get Biscuits:

• Short, spiky blonde hair

• Chunky eyebrows

• Lantern jaw

• Black fingerless gloves

• Stomping black boots

• Owns Raichu

• Dog tags

• Visible six pack

• Dipped in creosote

• Built like a brick shit house

• Flanked by a couple of freak associates.

What a revelation, 'inventing' an identical character, and calling it a 'tribute'.

Theft ain't enough, it must be 'corrected': tough 'Nam soldier to Ronseal'd turtle fembot.

[digikate813]

Just re-watched the episode “Bulbasaur’s Mysterious Garden” on Twitch’s Pokemon Marathon, and while that may not have been what solidified Bulbasaur as my favorite Pokemon, looking back on it,  I think it did bring Bulbasaur way higher up on my list of favorites, and it’s still one of my favorite episodes of the first season. And I remember I imagined if I could go on a Pokemon Joureny of my own, Bulbasaur would be the Pokemon that was sitting on my shoulder.

Also it learned Solar Beam in that episode, which was the most amazing thing my six year old eyes had ever seen!

Episode 52 - Bulbasaur's Mysterious Flower Garden

Now that he knows where he's going, Ash is blazing as close to a beeline towards the southern coast as he is physically capable of - While stopping to battle Trainers along the way for that sweet XP and yen.

Ash's Bulbasaur gets kidnapped to participate in a mass evolution festival where dozens of Bulbasaurs become Ivysaurs under the supervision of a leading Venusaur.

Ash's Bulbasaur doesn't want to evolve, however. And we all know Ash's opinion on that from Vermillion City, so he sticks up for his Pokemon when the leading Venusaur becomes outraged.

Venusaur is skeptical that there are any merits to remaining unevolved, but again, we know how this goes from Vermillion. When Team Rocket arrive to steal Pokemon, Bulbasaur being able to use Solar Beam at a low level proves their merit.

And so Ash continues on his way to Cinnabar, with his decidedly unevolved Bulbasaur at his side.
