“Ponyta”
We rode through fields
and over hills
my girl and I.
I’d burn the grass
and scorch the stones,
but not my girl.
“Rapidash”
Faster faster faster
Until the girl
Can no longer ride.
The flames too hot,
The speed too intense.
The girl is left behind.
“Geodude”
hapless hikers
always tripping
mistaking us
for rocks.
and they
wonder why
we’re ready
to explode.
“Graveler”
We throw ourselves
down cliff sides
laughing with glee
as we crash
through the huts
loosing our pieces
along the way.
“Golem”
They hear us rumble
And hide themselves away
But in our shells
We have forgotten them,
No longer seeking vengeance.
We crush them blindly
-Bumps in the road.

Comics based on a nightmare I had recently. Might make a regular thing of this as I like sharing dreams and I don’t make comics as much as I’d like.
“Tentacool”
swimming in the sea,
a sudden sting, a hundred
pounds pulling you down.
“Tentacruel”
Feasting on man flesh, the beast
continues to grow:
Sharp beaks, toxic tentacles.
“Bellsprout”
the creator looked down
upon his leafy creations.
most reveled in light of sun
content to sink their roots deep into the soil
and live their lives in peace.
but one peculiar flower longed
to be carried away by wind,
to see a world beyond sun rays
and dirt,
to move.
and so the creator reached down
and plucked the flower
it’s roots unbound the plant
began to roam the earth
it’s restless spirit
set free at last.
“Weepinbell”
But soon the joy of movement waned
and as with all sated lusts
it was simply replaced
for as it moved the plant
developed a hunger.
This hunger could not be filled
by the earth food and sunshine,
it’s mouth began to grow,
it’s poison condensed.
It began to hunt.
“Victrebell”
The hunt consumed the once peaceful creatures.
And when man forged their magic stones
The plants began to steal and horde
And use the stones to transform.
They gained the power to lure their prey
And ceased to wander,
Returned to sedentary lives
By their own desire to consume.

So there was a shit storm of Pokemon news today and I feel like talking about it because it’s fucking Pokemon.
Fairy type:
I was a bit indifferent about the whole new type theories but I’m glad they went with fairy instead of light or sound which both seem crazy dumb types to me. From a balancing perspective I’m glad Fairy type attacks are super effective against dragons. Fairy type is alright by me. On one last note: why not reveal Clefairy as one of the fairy types? It’s literally the most obvious fairy type there is.
New Pokemon:
Vivillion: I feel like there’s more than enough bug/flying types out there but it looks pretty bad ass so I’ll let it slide.
Noivern: My least favorite Pokemon of this gen thus far. It’s big derpy ears make me want to kill it dead.
Talonflame: HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WANT ONE. I think it might replace Skarmory as my favorite non-legendary bird pokemon. Plus Fletchling is cute as heck, so this evolution line is looking pretty sweet.
Clauncher: Not quite as cool as Talonflame but still looks pretty bad ass.
Skrelp: Meh. I don’t hate it, but it’s not great. I can see it having a pretty cool evolution though.
New Battle Modes:
Horde battles:
I can see that being super useful for grinding, but I can also see it getting real annoying real fast.
Sky battles:
Fuck yes. I can see it being a really interesting mechanic and it looks awesome.
Pokemon-amie:
This could go either way. If it replaces the old happiness system I hate it. If it’s an optional thing that you can use to build happiness I’m all for it.
And lastly, in somewhat pokemon related news: Everything announced except the wii yoga girl in the new smash bro games seems pretty rad.
Just stayed up until 3 AM rolling a D&D character.
I don’t play D&D.
“Machop”
ribs poke through flesh
and hunger gnaws
inside a swollen gut
but still the small creature persists,
in throwing stones and pounding fists
against the ground.
always in search of some
imagined perfect self.
“Machoke”
His strength exceeds
the limits of nature.
A belt around his waist
contains excess vitality
to keep himself intact
and yet he still wants more.
“Machamp”
He came back different,
Deformed,
Destroying all he dares to touch
A monster of his own creation.
