Description Found an old fanfic. Was so overwhelmed with nostalgia, I just had to.
Dunno if anyone else wondered about the two unknown Pallet trainers as a kid, but I certainly did~

I had a lotta fun with the pokemon, and I hoped their expressions kinda told something about what was going on in my kid story. Ash is an idiot, so pikachu hates him. Most of the starters wanted Gary as their trainer, so charmander's showing off. Squirtle's stunned since Lorraine voluntarily picked him despite being her last choice. Bulbasaur's disgruntled since Robin's only training because his friends are and probably won't make it.


-I hate Ash too much to draw him, so it's basically Red
-Gary's starter isn't canon, I just always thought he had charmander because the illustration in my red/blue guide said so
-Lorraine was created to discover my tons of fakemon, so the fanfic is told in her pov
-I'd figured not every trainer makes it and used Robin as example, I never bothered with his gender/design til now

So it IS you!!
When I got your comment, I was like "I'm gonna figure out who this is!" so when I looked at your page, I was like "this looks like Aiyume's style!" but there was no link from either of your old accounts (~Aiyuddiction ~DaturaDays ) to ~Keisis so I was afraid to be wrong How are you??

Keisis In reply to rontufox [2012-11-28 00:28:56 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah, I kinda forgot to put any link and now Im afraid of getting out of this account, cause I cant remember the password anymore XD OTL
Silly me...

Im doing well, finally got a job, now I just need to learn it, graduate and take my drivers license ^^ (all at the same time, which is kinda making me really busy lately), so I was like "damn it, I wanna draw ponies, thats gonna make me less stressed", but I was kinda ashamed of drawing them at first, so voila, new account. But then I realized that isnt anything I should be ashamed of anyway....
So I thought "I guess my artist friends arent gonna hate me for this so why not?" and then Im now trying to find my friends and youre the first I thought of going after. u.u

You know... Cause youre cute and all.
And how are you?

You can't remember the password?? Oh no... You should contact the Help Desk or something, just in case you get logged out for some reason.

Yeah, I don't think it's something to be ashamed of! I'm glad you drawing things that help you feel less stressed. Your coloring has also improved so much! Good luck with the job, graduation, and driver's license! I remember how nervous I was for my driver's test

I'm pretty good, not much anything different going on at my end. I'm doing a lot more original artwork now, but I put that stuff in a subfolder rather than my main gallery.

Hmm, now the password changed @_@
I wrote on a note so I wont forget it again.

Thanks, Rontu T^T
Ive been trying to improve my art, though I dont really have much time anymore X3
You make me feel like I have a sort of big brother U.U
Im REALLY nervous about the license @__@
I have to take it asap T^T

Ive been through your gallery and liked the creatures @_@
Though I havent been around long enough to find out much about them.... Yet
I loved your characters turnarounds, btw O:
And I always thought you have such a delicacy to work with watercolors, though Im not sure thats the kind of traditional youve been doing ^^'

rontufox In reply to Keisis [2012-12-07 08:41:26 +0000 UTC]

Aw, really? I'm honored you'd think of me that way I'm really glad you commented, last month I thought of you and wondered what happened... cuz your old account kinda went silent and I saw you telling people that you couldn't get online much anymore.

Oh good, now you won't get locked out of your account!

Your improvement is impressive for not having much time! Like I said, your coloring has gotten much more solid, as well as anatomy. It also looks like you're having more fun with your art, because it looks more playful and natural, but I'm not sure if I'm right

I think it's natural to be nervous! Have you been practicing driving a lot?

Keisis In reply to rontufox [2012-12-08 07:22:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, I dont wanna sound too cheesy but
I believe that what have changed during this time Ive been "silent" is really me. ^_^
I feel I have learned many things which made me have this re-connection with myself, and made me see things differently and open myself more...
It isnt rare to see people being what they want on the net and not doing anything to improve in real life, and Ive been through that, but I think I am finally succeeding in being the person I wanted to be.
Not just acting where no one can see my face, but really working on it to be a better me for those I care for
And also for myself^^

And well, Ive been practicing as much as possible, the problem is that its really expensive here @_@

(should I still call you Aiyume, or Keisis?)

That's incredible! The best news I've heard from you ever! I'm so glad, because you're right, people act/do what they want on the net but don't use that energy for their real life, and I think that's a shame. I'm really happy to hear you've re-connected to yourself, and see what you want to do, and are improving. I'm really glad you chose to contact me now, after that period

(Im always gonna be Aiyume 8D)

Huhuhu, would be a shame not to come after you. U.U
After all, it was me who wanted to know you in the first place... 0.0
btw, happy late birthday ^_^
I hope Ill be a 25 years old like you someday! @_@
A successful one! *---*
Like you.

LoL at Red expression's and Charmander's smugness, much like it's trainer Effin' Gary Oak!
Love the choice of colors and the characters designs from the right too, nice nice!

rontufox In reply to NkoGnZ [2012-09-23 17:56:51 +0000 UTC]

I thought it was Gary Mother-effing Oak!
Haha, glad you like charmander, I definitely wanted him to reflect a bit of Gary's own personality Also nice to hear you like the two original characters, though I'm not thrilled about Robin since I designed him on the spot!

NkoGnZ In reply to rontufox [2012-09-24 01:06:07 +0000 UTC]

His girth it's too powerful to ignore!

Wha... really? I thought he was an old character that got a some spotlight, but anyway I like their designs, it's simple and nothing too flashy or complicated!

rontufox In reply to NkoGnZ [2012-09-25 04:40:47 +0000 UTC]



Thanks again! Yeah, definitely my goal with their designs, simplicity. I think simple makes OCs more believable!

I literally kept this in my inbox for like two weeks, cuz it made me happy but also really nervous Maybe I should submit the fic to scraps so not many people see it at once...

SteadfastHeartofGold In reply to rontufox [2012-10-13 01:49:00 +0000 UTC]

I usually use the 'add text' feature to do it, but it doesn't let you use italics or bold unless you use the tags for it. .w.; So it's kind of a pain, but I've never learned how to just upload the file on here.

rontufox In reply to SteadfastHeartofGold [2012-10-13 01:54:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was trying to use stash at first, cuz I thought it'd be better since it's a fancy new feature an all, but you can't even upload a preview image if you use it... so I'm gonna use the add text feature instead. I don't use italics or bold, so that's good

To be honest, I think I only watched like five episodes of the show... So I barely know a thing about it But yeah, even then I can see the 1st gen has more humor than the current ones.
