CRYSTALBOW LOOOORE!?

Augmuth and her friend Zach(a Yelmut) are looking through boxes in the shed at the Crystalbows’

Augmuth: Ah, I love going through my Mom and Dad's past when I'm bored. [laughs] We always find a new chink in the armor.

She holds up a photo of a younger Rhysmuth and Auglur posing together in elaborate costumes. Augmuth and Zach laugh and then sigh

Augmuth: gasps Dude! That's Mom's old diary!

She takes a pink, glittery diary from the box and begins to read it

Augmuth: “Today I spent all my money on new pom poms because I'm a big boy...” She and Zach share a confused look “and I want to go to the tryouts even if my mom says that-"

Auglur: "Cheerleading is for fit people, not kids whose plumages don’t get wet in the shower." Yes... this diary's mine.

Zach: gasps Mr. Crystalbow, did you actually make the team?

Auglur flashes back to the day of the cheerleader tryouts. Cheerleaders are stretching in the school gymnasium as a teenage Auglur comes running in excitedly, wearing a cheer uniform and holding pom poms. His mother is right behind him, pulling him by his plumage to stop him from running any further

Francine: Vicky, stop. It's gonna be like that time you tried riding on that Dragong.

Auglur: But it was a small accident. Just a pulled muscle in the lower back.

Francine: Of the Dragong.

Auglur: But I wanna be like them, Mom.

Cuts to a trio of cheerleaders, two of them tossing the third into the air. She flips and they catch her

Auglur: dreamily A flyer. It's my dream.

Francine: Ah, don't dream too big, baby. Success doesn't run in the Crystalbow family. Cholesterol, on the other hand..

She leads Auglur out of the gymnasium as he looks sadly behind him at the cheerleaders

Auglur(voiceover): I didn't even bother trying to make the team,

Return to present day

Auglur: because Mom taught me an important lesson that day. His face resembles Francine's, and he mimics her voice "Dreams are impossible and desires are pointless."

Augmuth and Zach both cry with more realistic looking faces. Zach shakes himself back to normal

Zach: Aw, Mr. Crystalbow, listen. Sometimes the key to your dreams is looking inside yourself.

Zach squints, looking through Auglur’s head annd into his brain. Inside of it are a bunch of abnormally shaped, snarling Poison Meebs. Augmuth gasps in fear as Zach softens his squint

Zach: Yeah. That's gonna be a big... NOOOO!

The power of Zach’s yell blasts Augmuth through the wall of the shed. He lands in front of the Small-Talk Mall, triggering its automatic doors

Augmuth: Huh... What the what was that?!

Zach: yelling from offscreen Intergenerational trauma!

This time, the power of Zach’s yell blasts the diary towards Augmuth, and it hits her in the back of the head. She falls back down

Fun fact: I got two Rare Dragongs in a row.

Meet Dragong, the Gong Pokemon.

Dragon type. Dragongs are one of many species exclusively found within the mysterious Pocket Dimension. They're known for being quite friendly, if a bit reckless. Their Tails end with one large scale, resembling a cymbal- and it also acts as such (although the sound is much more akin to a gong).

Unlike the MSM version (though much like the Rare Dragong), the Pokemon Dragong is capable of flight!

A very East Asian-inspired roster here.

Took inspiration from Mount Fuji kimono patterns. I originally wanted to go for geta sandals, but I found myself too lazy to edit them onto Strombonin. I think Strombonin wears semi-traditional outfits, while Strombone opts for a more modern, Western style.

A friend of mine wanted Arcorina to wear an ushanka, but I want her to wear a Chinese robe. I find using the opposite-temperature colour palette for the Paironormals more suitable than following theirs.

Since Dragong's bio mentions his cymbals being good for serving/preparing food, I inspired his outfit from Chinese restaurant waiter uniforms: modern and simple, but still has recognizable Chinese elements.

Arcorina and Dragong wear no glasses because they look better without them.

Pinglist, you can ask to be pinged:

@Tallet

I really don't get the joke and the trivia has nothing of it.

I made you a little something cause I was bored and I wanted to try out Photoshop filters.

/ref

Uhh hopefully at least 1 person gets the reference

Miideeznuts has returned! Alongside ANOTHER Dragong...

@The Ffidyller now Miideeznuts and The can meet for the first time!

Finally! Now I can swap my Dragong wish for Bellowfish!

Oh. And I'm uuuuuh also wishing to get Yooreek back. Luckily, I have a spare Nebulob to use for that once that Piplash has hatched. Then, I can place Piplash down and start incubating the spare Reebro

Got the silly big brain machine boi after I sacrificed the silly astronaut Cleveland boi into the meeb pit of death

Also I got another reebro that I'm gonna sacrifice to the silly meeb bowl of death since its a duplicate

• Dish-harmonised Vhenshun; Got Auglur and Gaddzooks in Return

• Dish-harmonised Gaddzooks; Got another Gaddzooks and a Reebro in Return

• Dish-harmonised Reebro; Got another Reebro and a Dragong in Return

Due to Vhenshun's insanity, Dragong was knocked out and put in the Dish-Harmonizer.

Miideeznuts fled the scene and is now hiding in the holographic palm of the Islet

I either got Rare Arackulele or Rare Dragong first try.

I might sell my four duplicate Reebros. These Doubles need a place to sleep.

Apart from that, not much else has happened outside of me Dish-Harmonizing Yooreek and Dragong on Mech Islet
