Summary: It's New Year's, and the people of Luceti have a lot to reflect upon, and to look forward to. And on a more meta level, new journal names.
Rating: We'll see...

[FGDKJSJ?! P-PUTS IT IN?!]

He's really big, and he's really blue, but he doesn't look sad. He looks... [Linefacey.] Okay! Hello, I'm Yotsuba.

[Taking a wary step closer, and then another. Hello there Swampert, she comes in peace.]

BEING MEGUCA IS SUFFERING

[catches]

[Kyaa.........]

And this fella is Swampert! [And said giant blue axolotl proceeds to look at Yotsuba, crouch down to meet her eye level and....... lay down.]

... That usually means he likes you!

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT

[rollypolyclover]

[Slightly awk given I'm tagging with a five year old right now.]

Hiya Swampert, you're really big and blue and Yotsuba thinks that's fine. You remind Yotsuba of the sea, or the swimming pool, because you're really blue. [Seeing the pokémon lay down like makes her want to copy! So down she goes, laying down next to Swampert.] Now we match! Do you really like me Swampert? Yotsuba likes you!

MADOKA

[catches]

[A loli is fine too.

........ The giant blue mass is headtilting what the hell is this even.] Yeah, he likes you! I bet he reminds you of the sea because he's a Water-type!

HOLD THAT

[rollypolyclover]

[Nnnnnooooo.

Copying the headtilt! Oh gosh don't be too fresked out Swampert.] Does that mean he likes water? Yotsuba does too, I'm really good at swimming, really fast! [Can she pet him? She wants to pat him on the head. Raising her hand up and slowly moving towards Swampert. Not going to hurt you big guy.]

HOMURA

[catches]

[Kyaaaaaaa.

This is. So surreal. They're both used to people reacting to Swampert with either awe or a sudden rush to withdraw anything that isn't a Grass-type from the battle so... neither of them really know how to react! So yes, Yotsuba can pet the giant orangey-blue creature.]

Uh, yeah... He's a good swimmer.

HOLD THAT

[rollypolyclover]

[Nyaaaaaa.

Petting is go! She rubs the top of the big axolotl's head and touches one of the fins on the top of his head. It's pretty exciting and cool to be petting A GIANT BLUE AND ORANGE THING but she's being fairly gentle.] Whoaaah, it's like Yotsuba is touching a fish. A big fish which is blue and orange and has spiky cheeks! [He feels cooooool~]

HOMURA

[catches]

[Pets henrukitty....?

. . . So, two things happening here! One, Swampert is enjoying this so much he starts rubbing his head against Yotsuba's hand and Two, Brendan feels so emasculated right now it hurts.]

F-fish don't exactly have legs, y'know?

HOLD THAT

[rollypolyclover]

[Nyaaa~

D'aaaw he's just a big softie despite all the linefacing and complete bemusement. Keeping up the petting, the fact Swampert starts rubbing back against her hand only encourages her!] Ohhh, that's true. But he feels like a fish! A leg fish, that's cool. [And then to Swampert.] Yotsuba's gonna pat your head, and scratch your chin, and give you a belly rub! [Pokémon = dogs?]

MAMI-SAN

[catches]

[....... d'aww.

No, Pokémon are not dogs!] That's not exactly-- ...............

[SWAMPERT, COMPLYING IS NOT HELPING YOUR TRAINER'S CASE HERE. YOU'RE MEANT TO BE HIS BADASS BRO OF ALL THINGS WATER/GROUND NOT... trying to roll onto your back so she can bellyrub you...]

Nevermind.

HOLD THAT

[rollypolyclover]

['^' Nya.

Could have fooled me! Yotsuba will wait as Swampert rolls over. And then... Bellyrubsbellyrubsbellyrubs!]

Look. look, he rolled over! Good boy! Do you like that? Yotsuba is the best at giving belly rubs.

from the soul cousin, this ain't the time!

[catches]

[loli kittens.

He's not going to woof okay!! He's going to... purr! In a manly way!]

Y-yeah, he likes things like that...

shoulda wished for more money cause now you ain't got a dime!

[rollypolyclover]

[Is that your favourite kind of kitten?

Swamperts can purr? Seems you learn something new everyday. Sadly, Swampert is pretty big and Yotsuba arms can only keep moving for so long before they get tired. Time to call in back-up!]

Heeey, you should come and pet him too! Look how much he likes it, I bet he'll love you lots and lots if you start now! Come on, join in.

ANTE UP

[catches]

[Possibly?

It's more like a watery gargle but..

what.

No really, what.] W-we're already partners! We don't do stuff like that! [Not since he was a Mudkip, and that was only when no-one was looking!]

BECOME MEGUCA

[rollypolyclover]

[What about shota kittens?

Je ne comprends pas. Is there a problem here she isn't seeing? Hold on Swampert, she's going to fix this.

Walking over to Brendan, grabbing at his hand and trying to drag him over to Swampert. Come and pet your axolotl!]

But he really likes it, come ooon! Give him a big hug too.

ANTE UP

[catches]

[Catboys are so fucking kawaii okok.

WHAT.] B-but--! [HE CAN'T EXACTLY FIGHT BACK AGAINST A GIRL so he's just. Slowly dragged over to his own Pokémon while he fixes it with a glare. This is your fault Swampbro!! Don't you go all Lax Nature on him!!

Averting his eyes still, he's not petting dammit.] He's too big to hug.

NO MEDUKA

[rollypolyclover]

[THEY ARE I FULLY AGREE WITH THIS CATBOYS ARE THE BEST--

Great success! Sort of. Once she's dragged him close enough she'll try moving Brendan's hand in a petting motion on Swampert.] Like that, okay? Yotsuba can't do this for you all the time when he needs to be petted so learn fast!

[And is that so? She's gonna try it! Flinging her arms around the Pokémon... And yeah, this isn't a hug at all.] ...Half a hug?

get a contract, where my girls at

[catches]

[BUNNYBOYS ALSO HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART.

Okay, fine, you win Yostuba. He's petting his own Swampert. thisissofuckingembarrassingohgodmakeitstop.] He doesn't need petting...

... Good enough!

if sayaka becomes a witch you better bust that!

[rollypolyclover]

[BUNNYBOYS? Madness.

Even greater success, a victory for small children everywhere!] Yes he does, if he didn't then he wouldn't be rolling around on his back! [Still half hugging the big blue axolotl.]

What do you think, big blue? You like it? [Swampert has now been renamed big blue. Name Rater Yotsuba has spoken!]

ANTE UP

[catches]

[But... bunnyboy butts! Butties!

Does Aoba fit into that category...] That's... you...

[Swampert proceeds to slowwwwwly raise his head and... nod holy shit he is not getting Pokéblocks for a month after this.] I guess so, huh...

BECOME MEGUCA

[rollypolyclover]

[Okay now you're just trollan. Surely?!

...Nnnnno.] It is? [Welp then, getting on her back on the ground and rolling about.] Yotsuba can do it too!

[Clapping her hands!] He needs lots and lotsa love and effecshun!

ANTE UP

[catches]

[Hey, don't make fun of my tastes!

sobs.] ...

I'm not petting you too, if that's what you're thinking.

NO MEDUKA

[rollypolyclover]

[Fine, fine... As 'unique' as they are.

Man up.] Ohhh, Yotsuba hadn't thought of that one, good idea! [Lifting her arms and legs up, something akin to a dog rolling over onto its back... Then she looks at Swampert.] He'll have the same.

taking grief seeds, yeah you need these

[catches]

[my tastes > your tastes okok.

bugger.] ... I said no! This isn't a Swampert-slash-Yotsuba petting service!

i'mma fuck kyuubey up, i'mma preach peace

[rollypolyclover]

[MY TASTES ARE VERY REFINED.

Language.] ...Yes it is. [Turning to Swampert.] It is, isn't it? [Blue bro has her back in this.]
