Hello there friend! This message is so long overdue. I hope you had a fun Halloween LilyGardy! I haven't played my Pokemon games in awhile, but I like the sound of a shiny ghost hunt. The gastly line is my favorite ghost Pokemon line, and I would enjoy a shiny mega gengar. Now I am inspired to sos chain in the cemetary area.
I tend to like quaint little fun holidays like Halloween and Valentine's Day the best, doing simple things like eating candy with someone you care about over the hectic major holidays.
Lilligant is really a gorgeous shiny. She fits you perfectly, this Pokemon is gentle, quiet and surrounds herself in grace. Grass types are great, aren't they? They're terribly underrated. I think every single one of the grass starters has a nice design, and think overall grass Pokemon look so vivid and detailed, eye-popping color. There concepts are so intricate and really capture the beauty of nature. When I use grass Pokemon I am really pleased by their bulk and diverse movepools, and useful abilities.
I don't have many shiny pokemon, grass or otherwise. But it was really important to me to obtain a shiny Roselia and Roserade. I really love both Pokemon and couldn't limit myself to one or the other. I had to have a shiny Roselia for contests, and a shiny Roserade to battle with. My roserade and roselia are Dickon and York, inspired by the war of the roses. I read the Requiem for the Rose King manga and love historical fiction and stories about the the English monarchy in particular. I use York from the white rose of York, and Dickon as a play on King Richard III the last son of York and also as a reference to the character from the Secret Garden.
I'm going to browse through the fan fiction, hoping I will find some updates on the Rose of Magma. I kinda want to post a fanfiction up here too but keep putting it off. I have a lot of chapters, but I know I need some help with grammar. I love my characters and situations, but don't have a beta on ff.net or anyone to proof read. I do want to get something out there eventually though. I have two or three possibilities, the Froakie Prince or one of my Hoenn tales. The froakie prince is a romantic comedy au retelling of the frog prince fairytale with Ash a nobleman who turns into his Greninja and needs a kiss to change back. I also have got Sootopolis Songs, and High Tide. The former is an adventure/ friendship about Steven getting shipwrecked off the coast of Sootopolis City as a kid and meeting Wallace. The latter is the one about Archie's girl who leaves the cult of Team Aqua and becomes a priestess on Mt. Pyre hiding the blue orb. Do any of these spark your interest? No pressure if these stories aren't your style, just honestly curious, trying to figure out which might generate more interest.
A member here was kind enough to give me the code for Zekrom, but I haven't redeemed it yet. Wish I could name him after a thunder and lightning deity think like Thor, Zeus or Marduk.
