I couldn't sleep, so I made a list of pokemon teams for Avatar the Last Airbender.
TEAM AVATAR
Aang- Bouffalant (Appa), Emolga (Momo), Flygon (earth), Charizard (fire), Togetic/kiss or Alteria? (air), Mantine (water)
Katara- Lapras, Froslass (to represent the Painted Lady), Chansey (healing), Tentacruel? (poison type to represent bloodbending?), Primarina? (Starter?), Basculegion (to represent her tribe and their losses for which she fights)
Sokka- Lucario (given to him as a Riolu by Suki), Tyrogue (might evolve into Hitmontop, might not evolve at all), Ursaluna (given to him as a teddiursa by Yue), Minior (to represent the meteor he made his sword out of. Probably blue color, but maybe shiny?), Samurott (his starter probably), Klinklang (to represent his tinkering skills)
Toph- Excadrill (badgermoles, obviously), Steelix (metalbending), Machamp (her championship title), Tinkaton, Gallade (given to her as a Ralts by her parents as a kind of "seeing eye pokemon" that she turned into a fighter. Kept an everstone on it until she joined the gaang), Bewear (another gift from parents, but this time as more like a bodyguard.)
Zuko- Pyroar M (prince), Doublade (swords), Ceruledge (blue spirit), Annihilape (anger issues), Alolan Marrowak (mom issues), Kommo-o (dragon)
Suki- Mienshao, Urshifu (I want her to have 3, but couldn't think of a good 3rd one, except maybe she has both forms of Urshifu?)
FIRE NATION
Iroh- Drampa (old man/dragon, often underestimated), Turtonator (fire dragon), Polteageist (tea), Emboar (they have the same body type lol), Darmanitan (zen), Kingambit (I know pai sho isn't chess, but it's the closest we got, ok?)
Ozai- Houndoom, Infernape, Moltres? (The comet?), Magmortar, Zoroark (trickery), Mabosstiff?
Azula- Luxray, Pyroar F, Morpeko, Jolteon, Flareon, Chandelure? (Blue fire)
Mai- Salazzle, Umbreon, Malamar
Ty Lee- Mr Mime, Oricorio-baile style, Eevee
Zhao- Blaziken, Talonflame, Incineroar, Armarouge
OTHER
Bumi- Gigalith
Yue- Goldeen, Lunatone (shiny)
Cabbage Guy- Bulbasaur
Jet- Weavile, Sneasler
Notable extras:
• Use Hypnos in Ba Sing Se for the conspiracy
• Sand benders (Si Wong tribes) use Hippopotas, Palosand, and Sandiles mostly
• Wan Shi Yong is an Alpha Noctowl
• Foggy Swamp Tribe use mostly Ludicolo line, Carnivine, Poliwag line, and Tangrowth lines, but any swampy pokemon will do. Bugs are common.
• As Lee, Zuko only uses his Doublade and Marrowak
• I want Spark Sparky Boom Man to use an Unown with a max power psychic type Hidden Power, but I don't know enough about Hidden Power mechanics to be sure that would work.
• Does penguin sledding use Delibird, Eiscue, or the Piplup line? These are the important questions!
• I purposefully made it so only the main characters/bad guys had more than 3 pokemon.
• I almost gave Zuko a Rayquaza, but he wouldn't have a legendary until he becomes Fire Lord
• Except for the Bouffalant, all Aang's pokemon can fly. (Regional varient that can fly?)
• As he is the Avatar, should all Aang's pokemon be shiny?
• Azula's crew all have an eeveelution. Azula has two, and I imagine the flareon used to belong to Zuko, but it was taken from him after the Agni Kai and banishment.
• Ty Lee wants to keep her eevee unevolved. Azula might convince her to "make it more powerful." If she does, it'll be a Sylveon.
• Zuko and Azula's mom got both of them a litleo each as kids.
• Fire Nation mostly use fire types, but electric are common enough. Earth Kingdom is mostly ground and rock, but steel is ok. Air Nomads obviously use mostly flying, but fairy is common. Water Tribes use mostly water and ice, but obviously the swamp tribe uses grass.
• The Earth King still has just a bear. It's not a pokemon. It's a bear.

There's this dude I follow over TikTok who does NOTHING but shiny hunts!
I'm sure there's lots of people like that lol
Pokemon Reborn is cool because it changes most of the shiny designs. Some of my favorites are the Ludicolo line and Mega Absol. And considering Absol is my favorite non-legendary pokemon, I'm definitely gonna go get a shiny one.

Doodledex - #275 Shiftry
With its constant grimace, Shiftry looks a lot like a nutcracker. I know he’s not one, but it’s nice to get in the holiday spirit... especially since we’ve already gone past Delibird. (Speaking of which, I think it’s still Hanukkah as of writing. To anyone who follows me or stumbles across this post who celebrates it, hope you’re having a happy one!)
Funnily enough, even though I always go with Sapphire... I prefer Shiftry over Ludicolo. I mean, it’s a pretty awesome and intimidating looking Pokemon. There’s still a lot to love about Ludicolo, though!

Top 10 Favorite Pokemon
You’d think a top 10 for my favorite Pokemon of all times would be easy, but it has taken me quite a while with some soul searching to actually comprise this list together. While I feel as though most of this list is slightly unique compared to most top 10s, you will still find a few Pokemon in here on typical favorite lists.
Since this is a top 10 some Pokemon had unfortunately to be cut. So here are my Honorable Mentions: Slurpuff, Rowlet, Furret, Leafeon, Bulbasaur, Maractus, Appletun, Vanillite, Girafarig, and Braixen.
Top 10 Favorite Pokemon:
10) Cradily
I’m not normally one for fossil Pokemon. Don’t get me wrong, I think reviving fossils is a cool concept with Gen VIII expanding on the idea of creating abominations against what nature intended, but other than that… the concept falls flat for me after that. Not to mention most of the fossil Pokemon designs don’t do much for me. However, the Cradily line has come a long to be that exception towards my general distaste for them.
I’d like to think it was the typing of grass that gave this old fossil the charm to win me over. My Sun Wonderlocke is also a big metagaming factor with Cradily having survived on the winning team that beat the challenge.
It’s got a unique typing and a weird design being the oddball on this top list, but it deserves its spot nonetheless.
9) Gogoat
Sometimes you just need a Pokemon that has a good design, a favorite typing, a decent move pool, and fun to use on a team to become someone’s favorite, and that’s exactly what this Pokemon did to earn its spot on this list. Plus, whenever I play XY I always wanna use one lol!
8) Roserade
Some might disagree with me, but giving Roselia a pre-evolution and evolution was one of the best things to ever happen to it. Roserade is just so cool yet so elegant all in one design. (Budew is hands down my favorite baby Pokemon, if anyone is curious~) I also have this weird fixation on roses so that’s another reason why I adore its design~
Every time I play in the Sinnoh games I almost always want to use one on my team. (Playing a Torterra playthrough and fighting that urge haha!)
And not only is it a solid grass type, but a poison one to boot!~
7) Ampharos
...speaking of Pokemon that I almost always wanna use when I’m in their native region…
Three Pokemon on this list are here from my fondness of them as a child/pre-teen with Ampharos being one of them. Ampharos is definitely an odd one for its typing: slower and bulkier despite being a pure electric type, which had a niche of being faster and fragile. Not to mention it’s a sheep that sheds and grows into a llama! So I guess you could say its oddness is what I find so charming about it~
6) Breloom
...and also speaking of childhood favorites that are charmingly odd…
Breloom’s design and typing makes no sense, unless you wanna count the fact that it looks like it has some kangaroo in there for the fighting part… *shrugs* and I couldn’t care less. I have no idea (besides the mushroom part) what this Pokemon is supposed to be and I love that! It’s just so useful and good and it’s almost always on my Hoenn team.
5) Eevee
There are people probably rolling their eyes and groaning in dismay, but I will forever stick by this Pokemon. When I was a kid I was obsessed with this Pokemon! I had to have anything Eevee I could get my grimey little mitts on! My mom even made me an Eevee costume for Halloween that I remember fondly to this day!~
I know Eevee has reached overrated status, but honestly, and not saying this because it’s on my top list or anything, but uh… Eevee actually has a good reason for being popular besides being those who are the mascot (Pikachu) or nostalgia (Charizard). It’s cute and versatile. Do you need a certain type on your team? An Eeveelution can almost always fill that missing spot. Plus one of Pokemon’s biggest gimmicks in evolution, which Eevee sells pretty well since that’s its claim to fame!
But I will admit that Eevee is on here for nostalgia purposes and not putting it on here wouldn’t have felt right.
(If the Let’s Go games hadn’t have been a thing then this list would have been starterless… go figure.)
4) Sawsbuck
This Pokemon was originally lower on the list till I really sat down to explain why it was on here. Normally I have a hard time pinpointing what I like in a Pokemon design, and I was thinking of what I liked so much about it had I finally have a Pokemon to sort of show that in.
What I like about Sawsbuck’s design is that it’s not just a normal deer. It’s a deer mixed with a tree and its seasonal cycles. I like that it has forms that tie into an in-game mechanic instead of just bloating up the dex that fit its typing. Its name sneakily hints at the form changes too, which is brillant! You can clearly tell what its typings are just by looking at it. Some might argue that the Normal typing not so much, but, and myself included before, I have met a few people who have mistakenly slapped that typing onto the likes of Gogoat because Normal is usually associated with animals. Not to mention deer are a huge problem in the country in which the region is based off of so that was a smart decision in kaing one for those games. Sawsbuck is also quite handy at tanking a lot of physical damage, especially when you’ve got moves like Leech Seed and Horn Leech on it. So I thoroughly enjoyed using one the first and only time I have (though I plan to use it again at some point).
I hope I’ve made sense with why this particular Pokemon qualifies as the example of my choices in choosing Pokemon.
(Oh and if anyone is curious… the Autumn one is my favorite aesthetically out of the four forms.)
3) Ludicolo
This goofy looking thing puts a smile on my face. Its idle animation is charming, and it makes me giggle when it shimmies in its attack animation. I don’t know what it is about this thing that I simply adore, but finally having since used one in my first playthrough of Alpha Sapphire I almost cannot be in Hoenn and not use one. Not to mention I love the dual typing of water/grass. It’s so handy and such a good combination~ Overall Ludicolo is *chuckles* an odd duck that makes me feel joy every time I see or use one.
2) Alcremie
This was THE Pokemon I was the most excited to use in Galar upon its reveal!~ It was already so cute being a part of a theme of Pokemon I simply love: food-based Pokemon, and then what does it do? It can turn into a giant fucking cake! Like holy shit…! And then down the line in another reveal trailer what was the first thing I immediately noticed; an alternative colored one! What’s what Game Freak? Different flavors of this thing? Sign me up!
From its design, to its Gigantamax form, to its flavor forms, its shiny, and even the way you evolve it I just love everything about this Pokemon!~
(My only gripe is that if I want to Gigantamax one I have to go out of my fucking way to find one, and that irritates the fuck out of me! Not to mention two of its candy options are event exclusive, which is horse shit! But that’s just a personal gripe more than anything so don’t mind me…)
1) Aromatisse
This Pokemon is fat, pink and sassy, and I fucking LOVE it!~ It looks like someone tried to fuse a fuzzy perfume bottle with a cancan dancer, a flamingo, and a plague doctor mask, and we go this beautiful mess!~ I also love the fact that this thing is 50/50 on the gender scale so you could essentially have a drag queen on your team, which makes sense for its over-the-top design. I also love how it literally screams and whoops at you in its model cry. If it shows up you’ll see and hear it.
People talk about how cute its pre-evolution is and how they prefer it to Aromatisse, and honestly I’ve always felt the opposite of that. Spritzee is cute but Aromatisse is wonderful!~
It saddens me that my fandom will almost always put my favorite on the hated lists, but that’s how different opinions and tastes can be… *shrugs* 
(I’m sure many of you are cringing seeing this as #1 and that’s okay lol!)

Pokémon!
I think it is fair to say that there aren't any pokémon in the first three generations that I dislike, but I did find my Hoenn list a little harder to create than either Kanto or Johto. I think this is partly down to there simply being a large amount of new pokémon in Hoenn (135). In addition, there were more Gen 3 games which meant more final teams with which to bond. Still, I managed to narrow it down to my Top Ten. As before, I included both the original Gen3 standard sprite as well as the shiny sprite - not that I caught any shinies, despite over 100 hours of game-play! #notbitter
Tumblr media
10. Altaria
Number 10 on this list was a very difficult choice, with Altaria just about edging out some of my other favourites, such as Zigzagoon, Medicham, and Hairyama. I think I like Altaria because it is just such a weird-looking Dragon-type pokémon! It shares a typing - dual Dragon- and Flying-type - with Salamence, which is all cool and tough, whereas Altaria is some sort of cheery-looking cloud duck. It is more of a defensive pokémon - with Defence and Special Defense stats and although it has a quad-weakness to Ice-type attacks, this is offset with a resistance to the core Grass-, Fire-, and Water-types, as well as a very useful immunity to Ground. This came in very handy as my Altaria, Floof, was a part of my XD: Gale of Darkness team. This meant it was primarily fighting in the doubles format where Earthquake is very prevalent!
Tumblr media
09. Swellow
The standard Normal- and Flying-type regional bird of Hoenn, I'm a big fan of Swellow. It is a little frail, but it is lightning quick and can hit pretty hard due to it's excellent ability, Guts. Guts increases the Attack stat by 50% whenever the pokémon has a status condition, turning a respectable Attack into a very powerful one. My Swellow, Amazon (because of Swallows and Amaons, geddit?), was on my Ruby team and came in clutch many times with the move Aerial Ace - a move that cannot miss. Swellow was a big part of Ash's team in the animé, another reason I really like it as a pokémon - especially for the battle between Ash and Winona, the Flying-type Gym Leader. This gym battle came down to Ash's Swellow vs. Winona's shiny Swellow and was definitely one of the more memorable clashes. I really like the colours on shiny Swellow and I would love to get my hands on one, one day, although I think I still prefer the classic red and blue plumage of the original.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
08. Vigaroth
Something a little unusual in my eighth slot: a middle-stage evolution. Usually the middle-stages of any pokémon line get a little overlooked. The first stage is usually extremely cute and the final stage is super-powerful and cool, leaving the middle-stage as a weird htbrid of the two that never quite works. However, Hoenn seems to manage pretty well with the middle-stages - the starters have Combusken and Grovyle who are both excellent, although the less said about Marshtomp the better. The Slakoth line is another three-stage evolution line, and I used my Slaking, Naps, on my final Emerald team. Although Slaking is extremely powerful, it is let down by the awful ability, Truant, that is shares with Slakoth - causing it to skip every other turn due to 'loafing around'. Vigaroth on the otherhand, represents relentless energy with it's ability, Vital Spirit, preventing it from ever being put to sleep. Much more fun! Also I prefer it's design to Slaking's creepy old man in rcline pose.
Tumblr media
07. Cradily
I didn't really realise until looking at my Gen3 graphs, that I hadn't used either the Rock- or Grass-types at all in Gen2. Well, with that exact dual typing they are back in Gen3 and into a spot on my favourites list. Like Altaria, Cradily is another weird-looking pokémon that at first glance looks rather derpy, until you realise the eye-like spots on it's head are just markings and it's actual eyes peer out from the dark inside it's head. Way more sinister, although that is offset a little by the dildo-like tendrills waving about everywhere - although they did earn my Emerald team member the nickname Craydildo (ther shouldn't be a 'y' in the name - I just always spell Cradily's name incorrectly). Cradily isn't the most useful pokémon as it is built to be defensive but without many resistances, however mine still worked well as a primarily special wall, although it has a good defense as well. It was my first go at using substitute as a way to defend while using stat raising moves like Amnesia and Ancient Power to boost both the mergre damage it could do and it's already solid defences. Cradily's pink shiny is also very nice - many of my favs this generation has fair better in shiny design that last time out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
06. Grumpig
Being a big fan of pigs, Spoink or Grumpig were always going tot get onto this list. I like Spoink, but it has some weird in-game lore about the fact it can never stop bouncing or it's heart will stop, which is a bit creepy and doesn't make sense, even in the pokémon world. I definitely prefer Grumpig, and I'm a huge fan of both the normal purple and shiny yellow - it's definitely another pokémon that I would love to shiny hunt one day. On top of all that, my Grumpig, WYSIPIG, saved me from a humilating defeat against Wally late in the game. I was under-prepared and his Gardevoir would have destroyed me if I hadn't had also had Calm Mind and a super-effective Shadow Ball on Grumpig. That alone would have been worth a place on this list!
Tumblr media
05. Kyogre
Another unusual sight on one of my lists: a Legendary Pokémon! Although I didn't actually use Kyogre on any of my teams, it is still one of my favourite pokémon in Gen3. It is a massive blue Orca whale with weather summoning abilities - what is not to like? I think it's design is very cool indeed, and it's shiny is also OK - although I am a bit bored of blue pokémon that turn a hot pink for their shiny colouration. I would love to have Kyogre on a team one day - although it is way too over-powered for a standrd play-through since it has phenomenal stats and wuld absolutely destroy most opposition. However is I one day put together a team just for battling then it would bee an ideal fit!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
04. Wingull
Wingull is probably a bit of an usual choice for this list a I think most people just consider it pretty unremarkable early-game pokémon, and they wouldn't really be wrong. However I am a big fan of this evolution line as I really like Pelipper also. Their designs are kinda basic, but still appealing and theh dual Water- and Flying type is not bad if you can play around the quad weakness to Electric. The shinies are also decent - the blue parts on both Wingull and Pelipper trning a nice green instead. But I think the real reason I like them both so much, is that I associate them with travelling somewhere new. When I travel in real life, I love seeing the new wildlife in an area that really underlines that you are somewhere else in the world - and birds are often the first things that I notice in this regard. In the animé, when Ash travels to Hoenn, the boat is surrouned by Wingull and Peiipper which did a really good job of capturing that same feeling which means I will always love this pokémon family!
Tumblr media
03. Ludicolo
Much like Miltank in Gen2 - and indeed at the same spot in it's respective list - Ludicolo is one of those pokémon that I wanted to own because I hated playing against it. The Water- and Grass-typing is so useful as it's weaknesses - Flying, Poison, and Bug - are not that commonly encountered. They can also keep themselves healthy by carrying leftovers and using the Rain Dish ability which restores health in the rain. On top of this, Ludicolo is nicely balanced with good SpDef and SpAtt so if you aren't prepared with a strategy to take them out they can really hurt. One of my favourite opponents in Colosseum and XD, a disco-themed guy called Miror B who has a giant afro coloured like a pokéball - uses entire teams of Ludicolo which gave me a lot of trouble. Design-wise, it is yet another weird looking pokémon that is a kinda cross between a duck and a pinapple with a few Mexican stereotypes thrown in for good(?) measure. It's shiny is also great with the sight colour changes giving it a more tropical look - ideal for the Hoenn region. I just love it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
02. Sableye
This entry is proof that using a pokémon can really change your opinion of it. Before plaing Pokémon XD, I would never have expected Sableye to get anywhere near my top ten, let alone the number two slot! I only chose it because I wanted a Ghost-type for my double battles since it would be immune to Explosion either from my side or the opponents, and this was incredibly useful. This alone improved my Sableye views, along with the fact that it has no weaknesses with the unique Ghost- and Dark-typing. I always liked the design well enough, but seeing it in XD - a game which has 3D models rather than the basic 2D sprites of the main series - really sealed the deal. I loved how tiny it was, and how it moved so creepily! If it han't been quite so frail, there would have been a good chance of it making the top spot!
Tumblr media
01. Mudkip
This is the first time a starter pokémon has made number one in one of these lists - although Bulbsaaur and Cyndaquil came close. Mudkip is adorably derpy and is the face that launched a thousand pokémon memes, plus it is a line that eventually evolves into Water- and Ground-type, which I've often said before, is one of my favourite combinations. However, unlike the Cyndaquil and Bulbasaur lines - where I like Quilava, Typholsion, Ivysaur, and Venusaur a lot as well - my Mudkip love is mostly focused on the first stage evolution. The middle-stage Marshtomp is very odd-looking, but not in an appealing way, and the final-stage Swampert is pretty cool, but for some reason just doesn't quite click with me. It's definitely Mudkip all the way here - although I definitely prefer the original blue as it is yet another Water-type that turns a pinky-purple - boring! To summarise; you herd I liek Mudkipz.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that is that! Generation 3 was an absolute epic to complete; more than doubling my time spent, the total cost, and the number of games played once all of the side games and remakes were accounted for. It also meant way more blogs were needed to document everything and even the animé felt very extended! On top of all that, with so many more final teams, there was a lot more art to commission to celebrate each group. I'll be posting these in one big go once they are all completed, but for now, with Hoenn, the Kanto re-makes, and Orre all finally in the books, I can look ahead to Generation 4: Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum!

BTS POKEMON!AU
i made a similar post for the hyung line a few days ago, and it got some really good responses from everyone! so without further ado, here is the maknae line version!!
Tumblr media
THE MAKNAE LINE GYM LEADERS:
JIMIN - psychic type specialist
Tumblr media
“....”
“Oh, I know that look. You’re expecting me to be a water type gym leader, huh?”
tbh, no one could blame you for thinking he was a water type specialist because his gym was pretty much submerged underwater--literally
his core value, determination, was pretty much evident from the get-go. without the use of any diving apparatus, you had to come up for air every so often in order to pass through his gym in order to get to his room
“Don’t worry!! No one has drowned yet... I think.”
what is up with all the gyms in this region?? why is it like all the gym leaders were trying to kill you?
also, another pressing question: what if you can’t--
“You can’t swim? Oh, me too! The most I can do is a doggy paddle, and I’m not even that good...” Jimin laughed, his eyes squinting adorably
wait you didn’t even say that question out loud. was he--?
“Am I psychic? Nope! I just have really good intuition. Look, try to think something really weird and random. I promise I won’t be able to tell.”
ok. you start mentally saying to yourself: ‘holy shit you’re really fucking hot and cute, your hands are really small and i want to hold them and i would really love it if you could maybe stick them up my--’
“See? I have no idea what you’re thinking!”
(when you aren’t looking though, you don’t notice the keen smirk on his face HE HE HE)
“Anyway, about the drowning thing: don’t worry! My slowking and I will save you if you ever start looking like you’re having some trouble.”
getting saved by a hot gym leader who had killer abs to boot? maybe you should pretend to drown just so you could maybe see him in action well now you have nothing to worry about
as you go through his gym with some difficulty due to your lack of swimming skills, you noticed from the corner of your eye how jimin was indeed swimming alongside you, except he wasn’t exactly swimming
“Did I forget to tell you? You could use your psychic type pokemon to create a bubble of air around you to make it easier. Haha, how silly of me to forget” he told you this telepathically, a mischievous grin on his face
(you promptly rise up to catch your breath, slap him on his firm chest in annoyance, and summon your psychic type pokemon to help you complete his hellish gym)
now that you have the help of your psychic pokemon to aid you, you reach his gym leader room quickly
the room had less water and appeared more normal in comparison to the rest of his gym, with a simple dust battleground for the battle and a chair for where jimin was supposed to sit
except the chair wasn’t empty like it should have been
“HI JIMINIE I CAME TO VISIT!”
lo and behold, the neighboring gym leader, kim taehyung, had come to visit (if you haven’t pieced it together, he was the one sitting on jimin’s chair)
“How many times have I told you not to visit during a challenge?”
the pout on taehyung’s face was as fake as the baby voice he used: “but jiminieeeee i missed you :<”
“Omg--i’m so sorry, my darling. Are you fine with him watching us battle?”
not really sure what the fuck was going on, you let him do as he pleased
when you acquiesce to his ridiculousness, taehyung points you a saucy wink, which pretty much short circuits your brain and breaks your concentration
so all in all, you could definitely blame your defeat to taehyung’s way too intense staring and overzealous hooting
after the battle, jimin comes over to you and pats you on the shoulder, half-apologetic for his weird friend
“I’m so sorry about him, but I suppose this is a way for you to get used to him because you will have to defeat him eventually. Come back next time and i’ll make sure he doesn’t interrupt again.”
(taehyung, does in fact, visit each time you rechallenge jimin)
(not that you were disappointed to lose more times than you can count. if it meant seeing jimin and his beautiful thighs each time, then honestly you should be thanking taehyung)
TAEHYUNG - grass type specialist
Tumblr media
the moment you finally defeat jimin, taehyung jumps out from his seat and literally tackles you to the ground
“FINALLY! NOW IT’S MY TURN MY TURN~”
jimin barely manages to pull you from under taehyung’s bearhug and save you from permanent rib damage
taehyung, however, slaps jimin’s small hands away and carries you easily over his shoulder (for someone so skinny, you were surprised by his strength)
“Hey! You’re done playing with her, so now it’s my turn. Shoo, shoo!”
luckily, taehyung’s city was pretty much adjacent to jimin’s, so the travel time wasn’t a problem
unluckily, taehyung had decided that the best mode of transport was over his shoulder, while he rode on his FUCKING LUDICOLO
“HAHA, ISN’T THIS FUN?” he hollered, while you hung onto his shoulders for dear life
(Note: Ludicolos don’t walk from place to place; they dance from place to place. just try to imagine your arrangement as you travelled from jimin’s town to taehyung’s)
one very chaotic commute later, you finally arrive at taehyung’s... gym?
“WELCOME TO MY GYM! You must be wondering why it looks like an petting zoo... because it is a petting zoo!!”
before he can even explain what the actual fuck is going on, a shiny herdier comes charging at you
before you can get hurt, taehyungs moves to intercept the overexcited dog, letting the herdier push him to the ground and lick his handsome face
“HAHA oh by the way, this is soonshim! say hi to my new challenger, soonshim~”
after taehyung finished playing with soonshim (read: 30 minutes), he finally managed to explain the rules of his gym
“Oh, right. Rules. Ew. Well, I don’t really have a “challenge” per se. You can actually challenge me right now.”
wait. really?
a small girl (who you eventually learn is taehyung’s younger sister) kicks him in the leg, a stern glare on her young face
“Oh shi--oh hello my baby sister. Thanks for reminding me.”
so it turns out, there is a rule to defeating taehyung’s gym. except it’s kind of...
“Yep! All you have to do is pet EVERY SINGLE POKEMON ON MY PETTING FARM! Yup! in short, I just want you to have fun and go nuts!”
???? ok????? how hard can it be?
(it was, in fact, harder than you thought. it seemed like every cat pokemon on the farm had an aversion to your presence, and would proceed to scratch you if you even looked in their direction)
(good thing taehyung was good at first-aid, and he even kissed all your injuries after he patched them up. “Kisses make the boo-boos go away!!” he said without a hint of embarrassment, whereas you were as red as a voltorb)
turns out, it takes almost the whole day just to pet all the pokemon, so you decide to come back tomorrow to challenge him
“What? You’re going to camp out? NO NO NO! I cannot allow that! C’mon, you’re sleeping with me!”
(you try to decline his invitation, but taehyung just puts on you his shoulder and brings you to his home regardless)
(get your head out of the gutter! nothing like what you’re imagining happened! ! ! although, you do get snuggled half to death by taehyung, so you couldn’t really even enjoy the experience to the fullest)
the next day, you finally get to challenge him and just like how his happy-go-lucky personality suggested, the battle was surprisingly relaxed and fun
you find you and your partner pokemon laughing the entire way through the battle, watching how taehyung would pull funny faces and make his pokemon fall over like from those slapstick comedies
unlike your other previous challenges, this one was surprisingly easy
“Yeaaaah, i’m not really much of a battler. i don’t really get serious unless there’s something worth fighting for, you know? All that matters is that you and your partner had fun. Did you?”
of course you did. so much so, you were kind of disappointed that you wouldn’t see him again after this. 
in order to prolong your stay, you asked him what he was like when he actually battled seriously, just to see how well you would match up to his full strength
“really? you want me to go all out? well, alrighty! might as well; i haven’t stretched my muscles in a while!”
since your team was barely hurt from his “play” battle, you decide to just continue where you left off
he, on the other hand, sends out an entirely new team. and they. were. fucking. MONSTERS (serperior, abomasnow, sceptile, ferrothorn)
you get knocked out with one move. each time.
(suffice to say, you’re glad he went easy on you. you just hope you don’t have to challenge him in the future--or worse--get on his bad side)
((hint: he ends up moving up the ranks and joins the elite four! so that hope of yours is sadly demolished the moment you meet his boxy grin in the pokemon league))
JUNGKOOK - fighting type specialist
Tumblr media
holy fuck jimin who? muscles who???!
you first meet jungkook outside of his gym in a real-life gym (you know, where people work out and stuff)
you had entered his pokemon gym looking for him but the man at the front told you he was working out
at first, you thought he was training alongside his pokemon, as you had heard it helped increase coordination between trainer and partner in battle
but when you see him working out by himself, you can’t help but let your jaw drop
him: sleeveless tank, sweat dripping down his face, tight basketball shorts framing his shapely a**
you: blushing like the hot mess that you are
at first, he doesn’t even notice your presence and continues at a monster’s pace; doing two pull-ups in under a three seconds
after staring at him work out for ten minutes or so, he finally realizes you are there just creepily watching him and he just. drops.
like, he falls to the ground
“Oh fuuuu--” he groans, cradling his face in what you assume was pain
(he was, in fact, hiding his face in embarrassment because h o l y fuck a cute girl just watched him sweat like a pig and he looks so gross and he’s so embarrassed ahhhh)
you quickly approach him, grasping his hand to help him up
(he still wasn’t looking you in the eye, unable to even stutter a proper “t-thanks” after you ask him if he was ok)
confused by his weird demeanor, you instead ask him if he was the gym leader of this city (even though you were pretty sure he was) and he meekly replies yes before clearing his throat and LEAVING WITHOUT EVEN SAYING GOODBYE??
(for someone who looked like he was capable of breaking you like a toothpick, he was really fucking shy)
you assume he went back to his own gym to await for your challenge, so you head back there to chase after him
(he hadn’t even left a minute before you did, but you found no trace of him. how fucking fast did he run to escape from you???)
anyway, you arrive at the gym
unlike the previous gyms where the leaders themselves explained the rules, the man at the reception was the one who explained to you
“I’m so terribly sorry, Jungkookie is kind of... new at this. He isn’t used to challengers yet so I’ll explain the rules to you in his stead.”
you learn that Jungkook had inherited the gym from his older brother, who had decided to travel the world to pursue his real passion: art
you also learn that Jungkook never really wanted to become the leader of this gym, but as he was naturally adept at battles, he was the first choice as the new replacement anyway
as compared to the other gyms you’ve faced, his layout was pretty simple but it was down to the point. you were faced with three doorways with their own challenges. each challenge was a bit unusual in its own way; some challenges required you to hold in water for longer than a minute while being tickled, while another required you to carry three people under a limbo stick in under 3 minutes.
should you fail to do the challenge, you were faced with a trainer whom you would have to battle
(you later learn that jungkook had made up these challenges because he excelled at these activities. you decide not to question what he does for his past time)
after several unusual and surprisingly difficult challenges after, you finally arrive in jungkook’s room
to your disappointment, he was no longer sweaty from his work out. instead, he was freshly showered, his hair styled neatly like a coconut
“Uh. Hey. Sorry about a while ago, you caught me by surprise. As you may know, I’m Jungkook, the leader of this gym. I use fighting types. Uh. Yeah. Let’s start?”
after the initial awkward introduction, the battle quickly commences
despite his awkwardness in social situations, he was definitely not awkward at battle.
he moved in sync with his pokemon, moving almost like his pokemon as he commanded them to attack
he was as fast as his pokemon; you could barely land a hit at how quick his pokemon were moving
and when you actually did land a hit, the attack would bounce off of them, as if they were made of steel
he grinned at your dumbfounded face, an almost cocky smirk gracing his face “i learned those skills from yoongi hyung. i heard you were good, but i guess not good enough”
well that. got you mad. FUCK HIM! ! !
(in the end, you barely manage to win out of pure spite. he stares almost confusedly as his last pokemon falls to the ground, unsure of what “defeat” really means)
(in the back of his mind, he thinks its because he was too entranced by your cuteness. he thinks its just luck on your side, but he grudgingly agrees that you were actually pretty good.)
“Ok fine. you win. i guess my cockiness got the best of me. here,” he said, once again not looking you in the eye as he hands you your seventh gym badge (shykook comes back after the battle, which you honestly weren’t too mad about. cockykook was hot, but shykook was HELLA cute)
after sending him your thanks, you are about to turn to leave before he catches you by the shoulder. you look up at him to see a blush coating his face
“uh, i’m not supposed to do this as an official gym leader and stuff, but I just wanted to ask... ummm”
you waited patiently for him to finish, as he was too busy stuttering and blushing to completely finish his sentence
“ummmmwouldyoumindmeetingupwithmebeforeyouheadout?totrain?”
you barely manage to catch his words but you hear the last part clearly
“of course. i could always use the tips from you. after all, who better than to teach me than the strongest gym leader i have faced?”
at your compliment, his signature bunny grin appears, and it’s the first time since the battle finished that he finally made eye contact with you
“it’s my pleasure”
