An intriguing team
So yesterday I had an idea for PMD2 one shot so here it is.
Note/Summary: Takes places during the early parts of chapter ten so the PMD hero’s identity isn’t reveled to Dusknoir yet. This told from Dusknoir’s POV and it’s about his perspective of my PMD2 hero (Clara the Skitty) and her partner (Echo the Piplup) before the reveal. Also, there’s no dialogue in this one shot.
Excuse me for any mistakes, also excuse me if Dusknoir is OOC

My current time in the past so far has been interesting. Part of me wishes I could stay for as long as I desired, and yet I know I could only be here for as long as the mission could last. Besides, I try my hardest not to bond with the Pokemon of the past as it would be irrelevant, and yet I find the Pokemon of the past to be intriguing.
Due to my reputation of being a famous explorer, many have come to talk to me. They have complimented and praised me for my duties, and they have always liked to share stories. At times, I would simply just nod and smile to their praises, but deep down, I know I am not worthy of happiness.
I have also engaged in conversations with many exploration teams. For the most part, they seem to be no different from the common Pokemon. However, one team was different from the rest.
From what I could tell, they were a rookie exploration team run by two females, a Piplup and a Skitty working under the guild. Despite that, they seem to work hard to their best to become more recognizable.
The Piplup Echo is a timid yet determined young lady. She is full of excitement, yet she also has quite the maternal side despite her young age. While it is not clear how old she is, from my observation that she is an adult or close to being one.
She always has a smile on her face every time she sees me. She tends to ask me if she could have a moment of my time in a polite manner. She has easily shown how mature she is, which makes her a more interesting Pokemon to talk to during my time in the past. I do end up smiling anytime I see her as well.
On the other hand, her partner seemed to be the complete polar opposite, at least when it comes to our relationship. From just observation, she seemed to be more serious, stern, quiet, and even more independent and mature compared to Echo. There was no doubt she was the same age as her partner.
Strangely enough, she barely engages in any conversation with me and only gives me looks from time to time. At first, I thought she was like this to any Pokemon in general. However, when she is not around me, she seems to be a lot sweeter and kinder to other Pokemon. She even laughs and shows a ton of support.
This means she only acts this way towards me. It is if she doesn't trust me for some reason. However, I suppose not everyone would care or trust me off the bat, so this does not bother me, and yet there is something familiar about her. However, I don't even know her name, nor have I ever met another Skitty.
She is fascinating for a Skitty. From what I have heard, they are more playful and hyperactive for the most part, but this one is far from that. They are also not common around these parts, which made her more intriguing.
Despite her lack of trust, the Skitty doesn’t seem to mind when her partner and I talk to each other, though she’s always by her side, as if she is protective of her. In my opinion, it makes her a good partner, and they seem to have a trusted bond, which is a great thing for an exploration team.
I do not think the Skitty would ever warm up to me, but I would not mind if she ever decided to change her mind. Nevertheless, in the end, I doubt it matters. Eventually I would complete my mission and leave for my timeline. More than likely, I will never see these ladies again, but for the brief moments I have interacted with them, I would not say my time was wasted.

We'd both been so excited for it-- to change, to grow stronger, to pass another life-changing milestone on our adventure together. But after I evolved, it took weeks before Sora could even bring herself to look me in the eyes. It went unsaid between us, poisoning our hearts like a cold, bitter curse and haunting every intake of breath. Although, the worst of it all... was that even without words, we both knew why it hurt so much.
Like some sick joke, I had become the spitting image of him.
Ya'll know that feeling when you [Hero] try to evolve into a Leafeon to be closer in spirit to the best friend you lost [Grovyle] because you miss him so much it physically aches, but instead you end up looking like the guy you trusted/adored that betrayed/tried to kill you and your girlfriend? Cause damn it hurts.
Anyways ever since I replayed EOS and evolved at Luminous Spring I've had thoughts about what Sora's reaction would be to Echo's evolution into Umbreon. And lemme tell you that it's an emotional roller coaster. To say that Sora has complicated feelings about Dusknoir is an understatement, and Echo isn't so happy about it either since she had put her faith in him. They've got a lot of trauma to heal.
But to add to that, I like to write about my girls in my spare time when I'm not drawing cause it's fun, so maybe I'll post some little blurbs sometime if anyone is interested?? Hm. Yeah might do that eventually, we'll have to see.

Chapter 26, finally posted!
//It took me long enough, but I finally got another chapter posted. I still have plenty more to write and the story still isn't caught up with where the blog is currently, but at least progress is being made.
Warnings for this one include: violence, mentions of sh (Harvest scratches himself), self-deprecating thoughts/talk, Harvest not wanting to be 'around' anymore.
If those things don't bother you, please enjoy!//
//I'm going to do a few chores around the house, then I'll be on to answer some of the asks! Not like it's been ages or anything, nooo...//

hi, i want to start writing stories, and i admire your work, and i have a few questions if you don't mind, have you always been good at writing, do you write something everyday and how did you feel confident enough to start posting your work?
have i always been good at writing? no. absolutely not. i have always written things (evidence: the 1k novel i wrote in third grade about a dolphin adopted by a lobster which lacked quotation marks) if that’s what you’re asking.
writing, like all things, only truly improves with practice (and reading, absorbing information is no joke). sometimes i read things i wrote in the last year and have to sit and question myself for a good hour on exactly what i was thinking. my first work on tumblr was god awful, but i can admire it from afar because it got me where i am.
i personally think i lack the natural affinity for writing because i struggled in school and couldn’t really read until i was 10, but you’ll find your niche and it’ll work out.
do i write something everyday? ummm unfortunately no. i certainly think about writing every day, but typically i write 2-3 times a week during a good writing period. though! i wish i was disciplined enough to write something everyday because if would probably make writing a lot easier and less strenuous for me
(take that with a grain of salt though because i have a terrible attention span and can’t sit still for periods longer than 10 minutes. recently i’ve been writing when we’re slow at work, if that means anything to you)
how did i feel confident enough to start posting my work? simply put, i didn’t. i still don’t most days. writing is an entirely debilitating experience in my opinion and it sucks! i hate it! it makes me feel like walking on a thousand legos!
but if you’re feeling nervous about posting something, i encourage you to just do it. don’t worry about what others will think. when i posted my first story (on here, don’t ask about the eras before) i didn’t really like it, but my readers did. and that made it worth it to keep posting more. if you’ve got an idea that you’re passionate about, go for it! no one’s going to write it like you will.
honestly, i try not to take my writing too seriously (and i do a terrible job, obviously) because it’s supposed to be an escape from all of the terrible things about the world. so i’ll keep pretending it is an escape (wink wink). so, write whatever story you want, and post it on every platform across the earth. someone, like me, will love it.
