What about a Furfrou review ? Although I should probably say "reviews", all things considered... :p

Furfrou's default form is pretty boring, but I'm willing to give it a pass seeing as the whole point of it is the grooming gimmick, much like how Eevee is kind of plain but it's just because it has its evolution thing going on. There's not much to say about it, but I do like it's upturned snout and the bit of black on its face and legs.

My one nitpick is that I kind of wish it was less straight-furred? Like, it looks more like an afghan hound when untrimmed than any kind of poodle, and that could've easily been fixed by just giving it slightly wavier fur (emphasis on slightly, so there's still contrast with the trimmed forms).

But Furfou's main thing isn't just being a poodle—rather, it's a poodle that you can give haircuts to. This is a pretty fun gimmick, and it works well given how people trim poodles IRL. I do kind of wish it had some impact on gameplay so there'd be a reason to do it beyond aesthetics, but regardless, it's fun and memorable. The 'dex mentions that it becomes swifter when its trimmed, so why not give the trimmed forms a speed stat increase or something?

As a whole, these forms add some much needed visual punch with the addition of color (each form having a different palette, though the Matron trim probably should've been a more purple-ish purple) and the black areas of skin, which adds some much needed contrast.

Individually, each form can be broken into three categories:

The shape cuts (heart, star, and diamond)

The hat cuts (debutante, matron, and dandy)

The striped cuts (la reine, kabuki, and pharaoh)

My one issue with these cuts is that they can feel a bit repetitive after a certain point. Almost every single trim (except for the diamond cut) has colored leg fluff, all of them have fluff on their heads, and all have a colored tail in a distinct shape. It's possible they were just invoking the most common poodle trim, the continental clip, but couldn't we get a bit more variety?

I think the shape cuts do the best at differentiating the three in that group, as the placement of the fur is different on each, while the stripe cuts look the most similar. It feels like they could've had, say, a cut where all four legs are shaved, a cut where the tail has no color or shape, a cut with flatter hair on the head, a cut that's mostly shaved with only fur on the body... just more variety is all I'm saying.

For the record, I think my personal favorite is the diamond trim—I might be biased because orange is my favorite color, but I also like that it looks different than the other cuts and the amount of black on it. Least favorite is probably Kabuki, just because it's too similar compared to the other striped cuts and it's not as easy to tell what theme they were going for on that one without knowing the name.

Anyway, overall, a fun Pokemon with a decent gimmick, though I do feel like some kind of gameplay integration and more changes between the cuts would've helped it a bit.

(Also, GameFreak, make Furfrou and its trims available in a game again so they stop being a Literal Currency on the HOME GTS. Like seriously, what the hell)

Some IEYTD Pokémon headcanons, to go with yesterday's post.

The Fabricator and Juniper are both the type to spoil the shit out of their Pokémon, giving them the highest quality food and treats, weekly trips to the best groomers. They both keep their Pokémon in luxury balls.

Fabricator's favorite trims for her Furfrou are Dandy and Debutante.

Daniel Sans thinks that keeping a Pokémon is more trouble than it's worth. It's only because of insistence from his coworkers and Zor that he has a single Solosis. The Solosis hates him.

Out of all of Hivemind's Combee, exactly five are shiny. Tragically, none of them are female.

While a lot of agents, including Phoenix, have personal Pokémon teams, the Agency does give out rental Pokémon for some missions. Phoenix's Spritzee was loaned to them for Operation: Stage Fright but took a shine to them afterwards and was allowed to stick around.

Juniper's first Pokémon, Snivy, always stuck around with him during plays and performances as he grew up and built his career. Nowadays, his Serperior is considered to be as much of a star as he is.

Dr. Zor will evilly pet a Skorupi during meetings. Somehow a 2'07" scorpion with venomous claws on the end of its tail is way more intimidating than a fluffy cat Pokémon.

#for those who don't know #only female combee can evolve into vespiquen #and they're extremely rare #pokemon #pokemon au #ieytd #i expect you to die #john juniper #agent phoenix #the fabricator #dr zor

a team of normal types please :3

Eevee

Furret

Tauros

Smeargle

Linoone

Furfrou (Debutante Trim)

As an extra challenge, I picked only pure normal types. All the listed pokemon are precious babies who I love an unreasonable amount. Especially Smeargle, who can learn any move ever and I would be so evil with. Maybe I should get one.

I have Nathalie’s, Gabriel’s and Emilie’s pokèmon teams all fleshed out here so I’m just gonna explain some choices

First up Nathalie!

Steel/Ghost/Ice

I mean we all know Oricorio goes perfectly with they Mayura theme she’s Nathalie’s main pokèmon

She simply named it Ori.

Skarmory - for Nathalie’s steel resolve and staying strong in the toughest of situations

Gengar again is for like the mayura part of her and he’s named Peepers cause he’s quite a shy little bean

Nathalie holds the gengarite in her watch

The last three are pretty much their to represent her demeanour at first with cold and tough but still caring of others inside

I don’t have names for them yet

Onto Gabriel!

Poison/flying/grass/normal? Definitely poison tho for sure

His furfrou Delilah is his main and has the debutante trim for sure

Venomoth and Hawkmoth yeah (no miraculous in this au btw) but just a resemblance

The rest are pretty much to do with the beauty and brawn sides of him I guess

Grass for his designer side and then the poison types are there to help him become more angry I guess idk

Should also say he has a gallade and the galladeite which is in his ring

Also he has a lycanrock from who

Emilie!

Rock types!

She did this out of rebellion previously a steel/fairy or grass

Her lycanrock Moss is her main, Gabriel takes her after she passes

The rock types are here to show her rebellion for sure

Emilie used lycanrock and archeops for contests

Tyrantiar has the mega stone which is in Emilie’s ring!

———-

Okay Emilie was into contests and showcases

Nathalie was more into the gym challenges and battle trees

Gabe was just there doing his designs

———-

Yeah I hope you guys like this tho!!

"For the last time, Mille-Feuille, darling, your father and I have a business deal to close with this 'Loki' who promised us the most gorgeous display for Madeleine's wedding tomorrow. Personally, I doubt any one Pokemon could produce as many flowers as she requested, but at least this florist made an attempt to provide as much as she could!"

A shiny Dachsbun anthro, clad in her Harmonia University uniform, followed along behind a pair of much more spiffily-dressed canines. There was a Dachsbun female, non-shiny, and a Furfrou male, shiny, in a Debutante trim, the former wearing a long white "mermaid-style" dress and holding a black handbag, and the latter in a dapper purple tuxdeo. They both carried hot-to-trot attitudes, the Dachsbun more than the Furfrou, much unlike their daughter, who clearly wasn't sure why she was here to begin with. Usually if she wasn't in some sort of gala-level get-up, her elders would refuse to be seen near her.

Morning birds sang and the grass buzzed with fresh dewdrops. The sun had barely begun to rise over the horizon, still obscured by many of White Forest's treelines. But in a particular Redolent Grove, there were little clearings where the rising sun was quite visible, a harbinger of another hot, summer day to come.

"Look, Mom," the younger canid began, "that's not really what I meant. I mean… why do you want me here if I'm just going to be in this university clothing? Don't you usually like me being in, oh, I don't know… some sort of elevated level of clothing? Some sort of label, a designer ballgown, heels, anything to actually seem like I'm related to you besides just being a Dachsbun? And why are you so dressed up for that matter? For a forest?"

The elder fairy cackled. "Oh, for once you're not here to look good, Mille-Feuille," she chimed, her tail wagging heatedly. "No, I want you here because I caught wind that our florist happens to have a child attending school with you next year, and I want you to show our dear 'Loki' that we're not that far above her, despite what any paychecks and estates would , even though your father and I wish to maintain our… elegance, despite the climates. You're our... humility belt, as it were.

"Har-har. And her child? Yeah, you mean Bijoux." Mille-Feuille perked her left brow. "I told you all about her when I got back from the tour, remember? They ended up assigning us to the same dorm as roommates… she's the shiny Cinccino-taur in all of the pictures I showed you."

"Ah, this '-taur' thing…" The Furfrou interjected himself into the conversation uneasily, but carried forward. "I spoke with miss Loki over the phone; she said she was one as well. Remind me, Mille-Feuille… what exactly does that mean, per se? It sounds a bit like 'tower;' does that mean she's going to be especially tall? I can't imagine how good one would be with flowers as a giant… suddenly I'm a bit worried."

"I can assure you, good sir, that I'm no giant."

The three canids all whipped their heads to the voice's source. Loki stepped out from behind a tree to show herself, causing all three of them to step back in varied degrees of shock. The two elder Pokemon, much more pronouncedly, while Mille-Feuille seemed to only slightly quiver. It was almost forced, like she just didn't want to make her parents look bad.

"Dear Arceus…" The elder Dachsbun woman covered her snout. "You're a Shaymin? And a hybrid, no less! But darling, that limb count, the ears, all superfluous… I suppose this would be one of the… very few mixtures of Shaymin that pulls together a cohesive look, but still…"

Loki watched the group with perked ears, trying to judge if this dog was just being the standard brand of snooty, or if she was going to have to end up getting something to use for self-defence, or to beat some sense. She narrowed her eyes. "That, dear lady, is not a compliment. Not exactly the greatest way to a first impression, no, no…"

The Furfrou shook his head and bowed slightly before the Dachsbun could protest. "Ah - l-listen, miss Loki, I do apologise for my wife; she's… incredibly blunt with her words. Anyway… I'm Hugh Carême; we spoke over the phone earlier this morning. This is my wife, Vera, and my daughter, Mille-Feuille." He offered Loki a handpaw to shake. He was clearly there for damage control, a notion that most merchants would greatly appreciate.

Loki smiled at Hugh. Okay. At least one of the parents isn't a total head-ass. I feel bad for the kid, though. She really doesn't look like she's enjoying this at all. She accepted the offer gladly, also returning the bow briefly before standing back up. "Ah yes, the Carême family… you had quite a challenging order! Ten dozen white roses, ten dozen black roses, ten dozen purple roses, ten dozen pink roses, five dozen Gracidea flowers… I'll return momentarily."

Vera tapped a footpaw impatiently. "Yes, yes; I'm well aware of our order, now the question is, did you actually fulfill it…"

"Mom, don't start," Mille-Feuille protested briefly, as Loki stepped cautiously away from the trio, "I mean, you do remember the last florist you did this to banned us from her shop entirely? Miss Loki is one of the only florists Dad called that didn't have all our numbers and faces on a 'do not serve' file!"

"Now, Mille-Feuille," Vera rebutted, "A woman knows what she wants, and does what she must, to get it. Feelings are not part of a job description, and let no one convince you otherwise."

"Dad! Can you talk some sense into her for once and tell her to stop trying to make enemies with everyone she meets?"

Hugh just shook his head and turned to the right, clearly knowing better than to even try at this point. Some would have called him a genius, others would consider him a coward. Either way, it was a survival instinct to him.

"Smartest thing he's said all year," Vera mumbled. "Now, where is that florist with my flowers…"

"Madeleine's flowers," Mille-Feuille countered. "These are for her wedding, remember? This isn't about you for once…" She could feel Vera's preparation of a verbal lashing, but just then…

"Well, I've got the cart packed. You said the event was in Undella Town?" Loki returned to the group, outfitted with a harness that attached herself to a wooden cart. Inside the cart, there were many bundles of flowers… forty-five dozen, to be exact. All of the requested colours, all of them arranged in precise order and pruned to perfection. "Ah, but wait, before we go…"

"Of course, time to shake me down for money, I get it…" Vera reached into her handbag.

"No, no, miss Carême, not yet; I was going to say, you should look and count your order, make sure it's all correct." Loki gestured to her to come forward and look into the cart. "Wouldn't want to get all the way to Undella and miss a single stem, would we? You'll pay me once the count's right. And before we get there, we should make sure your order's complete. You'd like to do so alone, I presume? I won't hover; wouldn't want me creating a rush or a false sense of counting."

"Smart; I trust my numbers way more than yours. Glad to see there's a brain in your head after all." Vera gestured her head toward the Furfrou. "Hugh, I swear to Arceus, stop moping over there and put that mathematical brain of yours to actual use, why don't you? And Mille-Feuille… you seem to know how to speak to these 'taur' creatures; ask if your little friend is around to see you." She and Hugh went over to the back of the cart, looking carefully and counting through the bundles, sorting them back into colours to keep track.

I'm right here, you know. But Loki let the comments slide; words were only words and the ones disparaging her looks had long since lost their punch. But maybe it'd be better for the little one to be away from your influence for a bit.

"Miss… Loki?" Mille-Feuille walked over to Loki's front right flank, admiring the size of her Gracidea bloom while her parents toiled in their inspection. She was surprised that she was taller than yet another Pokemon-taur, given that most of the legends spoke of them being rather large. She tried not to stare too long, not wanting to give off the wrong impression.

"You don't want to be here right now, do you, Mille-Feuille?" Loki asked in a hushed tone, her right ear perked slightly. "You've had the most uneasy look on your face since the instant I saw you…"

"Uh… really, I'd just prefer Millie," the teen whispered, her snout wrinkling. "And no, ma'am, but n-not because of you! I promise! I just… our family's Undella villa, this wedding…" She looked over at her parents, causing Loki to raise a hand.

"Say no more. You must be the roommate Bijoux's been so excited to move in with next year." She handed Millie a single Gracidea bloom and a forest map. "Keep this one between us, okay?"

"M-miss Loki, I couldn't-"

"I'd prefer just Loki," the hybrid replied, with a kind smile. "At this time of day? Bijoux's probably over by the eastern lake clearing. I'm sure she could use the sight of a friendly face."

"How did you know I was Bijoux's roommate? You didn't show up until well after I said that."

Loki wiggled her ears. "You think these things are just for catching radio signals and being giant leaves? I heard a lot more than you think I did, Millie… and it doesn't help that I was behind that tree for a good five minutes before you even got here. Now, make an escape, before they realise what I'm doing. I'll buy you until sundown, okay?"

"T-thank you…" Millie ran off, and about a minute later, Vera returned to Loki with an angry huff. Hugh strode right behind her, clearing his throat as he announced their findings.

"Okay, that's… ten dozen white roses, ten dozen black roses, ten dozen pink roses, ten dozen purple roses, and five dozen Gracideas. Forty-five dozen, all accounted for, all prim and proper, beautifully trimmed, perfect condition. Miss Loki, you've done the impossible!"

"What can I say," Loki said with a shrug. "This hybrid mix is like the Midas touch for flowers; you ask for it, I'll make it happen."

"Damn you for being right," Vera fussed, reaching into her handbag once again and pulling out her checkbook, beginning to date and sign the topmost one. "What was the quote again, two million?"

"Two million, yes ma'am." Loki watched Vera finish the check with a proud hum.

"Here." The Dachsbun sighed defeatedly and handed Loki the check. "Didn't think you had a ghost of a chance to pull it off, but guess I'm eating Honchkrow pie tonight. Whatever. Are we going to Undella Town now?"

"Of course." Loki put the check in her saddlebag, and looked back at her cart. "There should be some seating space in the cart, just hop on in amongst your flowers and-"

"Are you insane!?" the Dachsbun interjected. "Ride in a cart; what is this, a family Halloween adventure? I'm not walking; If I'm being chauffeured, it's on your back or bust."

Loki's eyes narrowed. "No, ma'am, I don't think that's going to be happening; I'm not a ride Pokemon. Not unless you're willing to write another two million check…"

Vera scoffed. "Two million to go one route on a taur's back… maybe a cross-Unova expedition, but not that short of a distance!"

Loki smiled broadly. "Didn't think so. Besides, don't you want to be close to the flowers, miss Carême? If you're riding in the cart, you can make sure they don't get damaged in the transport process! Do you really think you can trust just one set of eyes back there to keep everything safe?"

Vera looked back at Hugh, who let out a bit of a whine. Loki flashed a brief look of apology before she could be spotted, and as the Dachsbun's eyes returned to Loki's…

"Damn it! Fine. You're right; I can't trust Hugh with anything that isn't mathematics. Poor bastard gets lost finding his wardrobe every morning. I can't argue I'd rather see things firsthand and make sure nothing happens, after all the work you did to make these." The last words seethed in a seeming protest, but Vera knew when she had been beaten.

She and Hugh carefully arranged the floral bundles to make themselves room in the cart, and once the two were in, Hugh closed the cart's back gate to lock themselves in safely.

"Is the safety latch locked tightly back there?" Loki questioned. "I can't unharness myself without causing you to tilt, and I don't want to risk the flowers being smashed…"

Vera waved Loki off with a nod. "Yes… my husband sealed everything; you're good to go. Say… what did you give my daughter up there?"

"Your daughter? Oh, Mille-Feuille… ah, yes, I gave her a forest map. She saw the cart and knew all three of you wouldn't fit, so she thought she'd use the time to see if she could find Bijoux, since she was already here. She said she'll meet you back at your villa to watch the sunset."

"Oh, that stubborn girl… living the high life and she wants to go play with commoners… ah, well, at least she knows where the villa is. Very well. But if a single hair on her head is missing or she doesn't make the sunset…" Vera made a bit of a slashing motion with her right hand.

"Yes, yes, you know where to find me," Loki trilled unshakenly, stepping forward to begin the journey to Undella Town, keeping a jaunty but safe pace. At their current run it would be about midday before the three made it to the beachside villa, almost too long for any of them to stand, for varied reasons...

(( Millie has been introduced! ))

Alola! It's Me!

Pokemon Sun and Moon drabble for myself, it's one of my fav gens of Pokemon and I love love looovveeeeeeeee Guzma!!!

Camellia is a debutante from the Kalos region. Her family moved to the Alolan islands to escape their aristocratic life in Kalos. While she misses the cooler temperatures, she loves the island trials and all of the culture of Alola. She specializes in Poison types and adores their move set and style. She gets easily excited about crushing her opponent, her entire team can feel her passion. Dexter is her childhood Pokemon so she allows him to stay on the team, even if he doesn’t really match it.

Team:

Dexter the Furfrou // Kabuki Trim ~ Pharaoh Trim

Dragalge

Alolan Muk

Arbok

Scolipede

Nidoking

<3’s Guzma, Colress

---

Escorting kids was harder than it looked. Camellia joined the traveling troupe of island challenge goers for fun and recreation, to learn about the new home she moved to. Sun, Moon, Hau and Lillie, they were all beautiful children. She loved to feed Hau, give battle tips to Sun and Moon, and shop and care for Lillie.

Fixing her hair, she hummed and walked through Heahea. Lillie had been frightened of the thought of Team Skull attacking her and Nebby, but it didn’t matter much to an accomplished trainer like Camellia. Still, she managed to find them, but in the next town over.

“Hand over the bottlecap!”

The vulpix defiantly turned away from the grunts. It was clear this Pokemon was uninterested in them. Camellia strode forward, interfering. “What are you children up to?” She asked in a taunting manner, smiling.

“This vulpix got a bottle cap I want! Kind of a waste on a Pokemon, ain’t it!?” The grunt complained, both still gesturing to flaunt and flex.

“Not really. I could think of better things to get worked up over.” Camellia laughed. “Like a battle.”

“Ya wanna battle us!? Team Skull!?!” The female grunt paused. “Yer on!”

Throwing out Dexter, Camellia laughed. “Fine. Wipe the floor with them, dear.” She looked to her Furfrou. He was well groomed, always trimmed with a new style when she felt the need. He was sporting the Kabuki cut as he gave an affirmative bark in response. A swift head butt slammed into the grunt’s rattata. The rattata’s bite in response didn’t seem to make the Furfrou flinch what so ever.

“What! Get ridda that goofy hair cut mutt! That’s not a real Pokemon, it’s just a spoiled pet!!” The grunt wailed. “Use another bite, Rattata!”

The rattata charged forward again, biting. The furfrou seemed uninterested and retaliated with another head butt, knocking it out.

“He is spoiled, but also well trained, unlike your Pokemon.” Camellia laughed, pointing to the grunt. “Tell the rest of your friends if you want to be crushed, come see me, Camellia.” She cooed, brushing her hair behind her back. Furfrou trotted back to its owner as she took out a brush, grooming him gently. The grunts whined.

“Well it was a stupid bottle cap anyways!!”

“We ain’t done with you lady!!”

They ran away.

The Vulpix and its owner thanked her for rescuing them. Camellia chuckled, “Ah it’s no worry. I am always in the mood to battle, as is Dexter.” The furfrou barked in response, wiggling back and forth on its paws in an excited and playful manner.

“Ya want a beating!?!” Guzma grinned, tilting his head.

Camellia threw her hair back. “Only if you’re prepared to get it ten fold. Bring it.”

A large, shapeless blob emerged from the Pokeball. It was multi colored, eyes and a mouth emerging. It was a Muk. Guzma scoffed as he threw out his Ariados.

“That’s it? A Muk?” He snorted.

“You clearly have no idea what it’s capable of. Gunk shot.” She lifted up her hand, smiling as she did so. “Drown it in poison.”

The muk gasped before shooting out a large ball of gunk. It splashed onto the Ariados, then the Muk moved in to continue its assault. It took some tricky maneuvering from Guzma to help guide his spider Pokemon out of the pool of poison. “String shot it!” Pockets of the Muk were bound together, slowing its mobility down.

“Muk, poison the webbing and throw another gunk shot.” Camellia ordered.

The moving sludge managed to disintigrate the silk thread, throwing another shot in the process. The ariados was knocked out, falling down in gunk.

“Don’t think this is my only pokemon, girly! I’m just gettin’ started.” Guzma returned his fainted Pokemon.

“I hope so, you’re not giving me any sense of challenge.” Camellia smiled. “Muk doesn’t feel it either.”

–

Allamanda is an ex Team Rocket admin. She escaped from Johto to get to Alola and lead a simple life as a police officer. (( ALLAMANDA ISN'T A PIG!!! >:( )) She says she regrets her past life but most people don’t trust her.
