Now, to tag... Umm... I dunno, and

    -       Use www.random.org/ to select your answers.

    -       Tag your rivals. (Nah, I’m good.)

    -       Have fun during your adventure!

 

    -       You started your Pokémon journey:

1) At age 10.
2) At age 15.
3) After finishing high school.
4) After finishing college. (Woo, not stupid!)
5) As far back as you can remember; You grew up in the wilds with Pokémon. 
6) No idea; You suffered an accident that erased your previous memory.

1) Sunny. (Well, I DO live in Australia…)
2) Sunny with some clouds.
3) Cloudy.
4) Rainy. 
5) Snowy.
6) A natural disaster.

    -       You started your journey because:

1) You want to be the very best.
2) You want to catch ‘em all. 
3) You want to be a master coordinator.
4) You want to meet many people. (Umm, do you know me? ‘Introvert’ is one of my best descriptors.)

6) You want to explore lost places.

    -       Your starter Pokémon is:

1) SHINY BONUS (use Random Pokémon Generator)
2-6) (use Random Pokémon Generator)

Gigalith (Well, I’m gonna be honest here… I didn’t even know this one existed. But hey, a four-legged rock with eyes, seems alright for a first Pokémon.)

    -       In the beginning, your starter:

1) Was practically your twin.
2) Became your friend immediately.
3) Liked you.
4) Was wary of you. (Sounds about right.)
5) Disliked you greatly. 
6) Tried to kill you. 

    -       The first great obstacle of your journey was:

1) A rival battle. (If Pokémon has taught me anything, it’s that your rival will always have the type advantage, so… Makes sense.)
2) A treacherous route.
3) A wild Pokémon attack.
4) A Pokémon gym.
5) A battle with a criminal team member.
6) A sapling.

    -       Your starter and second Pokémon:

1) Love each other dearly.
2) Are good friends.

4) Don’t seem to like each other. 
5) Ignore each other. 
6) Are constantly at each other’s throats.

    -       When the sun begins to set, you:

2) Make a fire. You need nothing else. 
3) Watch the sun set. (Aww, that’s nice… I mean, gonna get cold soon probably, but why not take a break?)
4) Keep walking. A lack of sun makes no difference to you.

1) Work together flawlessly. (Teamwork is key! So I hear… I definitely did NOT only focus one one or two when I played the games… *shifty eyes*
2) Cooperate well, but could use some work.
3) Have moments of synergy, though not often.
4) Try their best, yet are on completely different beats
5) Constantly work against each other.

4) You win by hax.

    -       You travel mostly by:

5) Around the world.
6) To places unknown.

    -       The strongest Pokémon you faced in battle on your journey was:

1) Starter evolves.
2) 2 evolves.

5) 5 evolves.
6) 6 evolves.

 

 

 

    -       The event with the greatest impact on you was:

1) Becoming a Pokémon Champion. 
2) The grand evolution of a team member in a dire moment. (Well, the only one who ACTUALLY evolved was Seel, so… Thanks buddy, you did great!)
3) Finding a hidden landmark of great beauty.
4) Encountering a legendary Pokémon.
5) Having an out-of-body experience in a haunted building. 
6) Discovering you’re a child of Mew.

    -       The hardest trial you ever faced was:

1) Fighting your rival to become Champion.
2) Realizing just how much you have to walk and still sticking out this whole journey thing.
3) Being lost for weeks. (Well ain’t that just great… Still, not necessarily a TERRIBLE thing… I could’ve been lost at… Umm… The beach?)
4) Assisting in taking down a criminal organization. 
5) Losing a Pokémon. 
6) Realizing there are way too many Pokémon to ever catch ‘em all. 

    -       Your starter:

1) Is your strongest Pokémon and best friend. (You know what? I like Gigalith, so I’m down for this answer.)
2) Is your good friend, but far from the strongest.
3) Is your strongest Pokémon, but emotionally distant. 
4) Is about the same as the rest of your team.
5) Stayed behind some point during your journey.
6) Is deceased.

    -       And you are now:

1) Gambling all the money you’ve earned in the Celadon Game Corner.
2) Hidden away at the top of Mt. Silver for an indefinite amount of time.
3) Exploring the many islands littered in the oceans surrounding Hoenn. (Dewgong is a great help in this, BTW.)
4) Lost in the Distortion World after a mishap in the ruins at Mt. Coronet
5) Trolling inexperienced trainers in the Driftveil World Tournament.
6) Reflecting on past decisions beside the monument of Geosenge Town.

    -       The team that saw you to your journey’s end:

#1   - Gigallith, the quadruped rock.
#2   - Pyroar, the least impressive shiny lion
#3   - Cottonee, the dragonslayer
#4   - Dewgong, the evolutionary saviour
#5   - Infernape, the starter we all wanted it to be
#6   - Bastiodon, the stone-faced

All in all, I think I can say that was a pretty decent adventure. Scored some very lovely Pokémon, defeated my rival once, got lost on a beach for weeks, and started exploring some islands. Admittedly, there were some… ‘Complications’… *cough* failed evolutions *cough*, but it was still fun. Well, that was my adventure, why not try your own?

So, if you're one of the unlucky few I know a bit better than some others, you know that I haven't been able to shut up about being ill. Caught the flu about 5 days ago and been reduced to a coughing, snivelling mess either in a bed or on a couch since then. Sucks too, I think it's single-handedly the worst flu I've ever had, and I can't remember the last time I was so badly out of commission. (Little bit of DA humour there for ya. No? Ok, I'll stick to being sick... Oh, a rhyme!)

While I'm here, I might as well mention that it's that crackdown time of the year in Australia, filled with everything wrapping up in the next 2-3 months, so unlikely that I'll get out a story in that time. But hey, one never knows. I mean, I never ACTUALLY stick to a schedule, so... Basically expect the same level of inconsistency in releases of work as normal.

I just love how these journals are just my way out when I haven't produced anything or have any plans to produce anything... Eheh... Well, until next time, later all.

So, I've found myself sitting in a pretty crummy rut recently, getting stressed out with my education, procrastinating over work and lacking any inspiration whatsoever for my writing (which should've been pretty clear in the last journal). Things have been pretty overwhelming and being me, I've probably taken a bit of a headstrong approach thinking that I can get through it by myself. After all, my OC Teranus is based off of myself. A dislike of most people and the belief that you can do it all yourself.

But now I'm feeling rejuvenated! Even though nothing's really changed... I suppose I've kinda had an epiphany in the past 24 hours and I'm trying to reorganise my priorities, and I feel like things are starting to right themselves in turn.

For what that means in terms of my time on here, that 'V.I.P.' story is back in production, and I've recently had a new idea for a way to inspire myself, which is through music. There's been a couple of select songs I've been listening to over and over again recently, and I feel that off of them alone I can create an idea that should hopefully evolve into decent stories. I'm also considering trying a bit more drawn art, though fair warning, it will be completely freehand, and probably just whatever random stuff comes to mind. But hey, it may turn out ok. Only one way to get better, as they say, and that's to try, try again.

So to sum up, was feeling crap, new plans, and a brighter outlook on how things are going. May you all have an excellent day!

So it's been a rather slow past few weeks, and I haven't really had the inspiration nor the ambition to write. I've been trying to decide where to go with my 'V.I.P.' story I have yet to complete but had no luck, and no other story ideas are coming to me. Hopefully the next couple of weeks should yield some form of writing as I've gone from having too little time on my hands to too much. So fingers crossed, something should pop up.

Normally I write these journal entries with more subjects to talk about, but it's just been pretty dull as of late. Hope everyone had/is having a good easter period. And... Uhh... Nope, I got nothing else. See everyone around.
