4.16: Howdy Cowboy

Hey guys! It’s time for a new chapter! I have a bad habit of binge playing an entire generation when an heir is chosen, so I really need to stop for a bit at catch up. I have a week left of break. Let’s see how productive I can be.

In the last chapter, both Charmie and Deo grew into YAs and left the legacy house. They both married their significant others, and Kurxys had a ghost-alien baby named Kindra.

Buddy Judd, the Sim I picked out for Tepig, has been working his way through all the elder and teen ladies of the hood. I still haven’t gotten any word about Tepig though. Poor kid.

Now that we have a free easel, Phil has taken to actually doing something important. The only real artist we still have left in the house now is Tari, and she’s autonomous.

Altaria: I am the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright!

Hate hate hate >_<

Buddy happens to be Ledyba’s next ranked opponent.

Ledyba: I’m gonna whip your sorry ass at chess for messing with my cousins.

She won, of course.

Cammy has the spotlight back for playing his guitar. Although the music they play is always so calm, and I really see Cammy as a punk rocker or something.

Camerupt: That is stereotyping and I am offended.

These two are still very much in love, despite Jamie’s flirty wishes.

Jamie: It was just a phase, I tell you!

Phillip: Hey Bud, sorry if my lady scared you earlier. She can be a little intense. Sooo…mind hooking a brother up with your secret to charming the pants off the town?

Buddy: Kid, I know you didn’t just ask me that. That girl of yours will have your hide on the mantle if she catches you.

Poor kid doesn’t have any flirty traits, but he always seems to think he’s a player.

Ledyba: My boyfriend is garbage, Cammy. Could you get me a new one?

Camerupt: Sorry cuz, you’ll have to take that up with the Simmer. And I doubt she’s giving up vampiric ghost children.

Buddy: May I offer the lady a rose for the lovely game of chess earlier?

Ledyba: Seriously. Get out of my house.

Phillip: C’mon babe, don’t be like that.

Ledyba: I hate all of you.

This kid just doesn’t get along well with our heiresses.

Buddy: Your house stinks. I would hate to live here. And your family is the least hospitable group I’ve ever had the displeasure to meet.

Altaria: I’d like to make a snow angel with his face…

Altaria: Hey son. Did you sleep well last night.

Camerupt: I sure did, ma. Thanks for asking.

Altaria: That’s good. You’ll need to be awake and alert for this next part.

Camerupt: Huh?

Altaria: You have absolutely no brains at all, kid! You are possibly the stupidest person I have ever met!

Camerupt: Mom, what..?

Altaria: Don’t interrupt me when I’m criticizing you!

Camerupt: What the hell was that about?!

Autonomous!Tari, folks.

More repairs for our favorite maid/handywoman combo.

(I have no idea why she’s wearing her fireman suit. She’s retired.)

The maid she’s been crushing on seems to like her as well.

Maid: So I’ve been thinking…since we’re home alone at the moment we should…

Jamie: No thanks. I’m over it.

Ooo. Rejected.

GAH! A MONSTER!

Leds seems to be a carrier for all these weird glitches. I must have some screwy CC in my game, although it really only shows with her.

That’s okay. Phil still loves her even though she’s a glitchtastic mess.

And she still loves him even when he pretends he’s a ladies’ man.

Derik, Phione’s eldest, is a YA! They grow up so fast.

I swear, this dishwasher breaks every other day. We need it fixed before everyone gathers in the kitchen, or else it’ll be the only thing they can think about.

Torchic: And obviously the only thing people need to be thinking about today is my initiation into teenhood.

Here’s our little cowboy! He rolled unlucky. My vision for him is that he’s one of those over-the-top, mustache twirling villains from a melodrama who’s constantly having his schemes foiled. (In retrospect, I should’ve dressed him in black, not white.)

Torchic: Except nobody could possibly foil my evil schemes, because I’m too awesome. Right?

Sure, kid.

Torchic: Parents, for my birthday present you shall buy for me a horse.

Jamie: Nope.

Altaria: Sorry kid.

Torchic: Drat. Foiled again.

~Sigh~ More repairs. We have money. I should really just buy better stuff.

Somehow, this kid already has homework.

Torchic: Whoever invented homework should be locked in a room filled with all the homework in world. See how he likes it.

Autonomous!Tari is at it again, playing soccer in the snow.

Much better.

I happened to be looking at the town view and Squirtle’s map tag showed up!

Hey Squirts, how’s it going?

Squirtle: You again? I mean ‘sup. I gotta go now. Grim and I are going to the Bahamas.

Ledyba: Flirt flirt.

Phillip: Flirt flirt flirt.

Yeah, it really looks like they both want new significant others, doesn’t it?

Camerupt: I’m smarter than you. I’m on the honor roll.

Torchic: You don’t even like horses. You have no room to talk.

Camerupt: I hate you.

Torchic: I hate you a slightly larger amount.

Here’s a better picture of our little cowboy, minus the hat. He’s actually super attractive without that mustache, but the look isn’t quite complete without it.

Torchic: I think the mustache is sexy. Don’t you?

Birthday time!

Camerupt: Hey kid, get over here! It’s my time to shine!

Torchic: I hate you. Therefor I refuse to celebrate any birthday of yours.

Camerupt: You’re gonna miss out on cake.

Torchic: I’ll make my own damn food!

Camerupt: Your loss.

Leds was crying just now, but she stopped before I could snap a picture, as if to make you think no such thing happened.

Ledyba: ~sniffles~ I don’t cry. I’m too badass to cry.

Here’s our Cammy, all grown up! He rolled cat person. I guess he really wanted to spite his equestrian brother. He adds cat person to brave, virtuoso, ambitious, and kleptomaniac. He likes pop music, porcini risoto, and the color red. He wants to be a master of the arts.

Phillip: What a beautiful moment.

Ledyba: Hurry it up, I’m STARVING over here!

She’s very torn up about her best friend’s departure.

Camerupt: I’m gonna miss you, cuz.

Ledyba: I’ll miss you too. You’ll come visit me, right?

Camerupt: Of course. So long as the Simmer lets me.

Cammy got a job in the musical career and we moved him in with a relative of some sort. I also moved in both Maribel, the red girl, and a new and improved Paras.

Here she is after plastic surgery. I’ll let Cammy choose with of these girls he wants.

I guess he chose. She’s still a teen at this point, by the way.

Maribel is going out with Torey, Phione’s pudding face middle child.

Speaking of Phione, she’s our next opponent. Leds wins again.

Phillip continues to raise his painting skill.

Tori continues his quest to discover potions.

Jamie rolled the wish to learn the athletic skill. After a couple skill levels, she wished to join the athletic career and I thought, why not. I might as well let her do something, since I’m definitely not finishing her LTW.

Suzanna, the eldest of Kyovan, showed up at our door-in the middle of winter, mind you-for tricks or treats.

She brought along one of her little twin sisters. I think this one is Ginger. What, have you two been waiting in the pumpkin patch this whole time and missed the actual date?

Ah, I see. She wanted to get in one more day of fun before becoming a YA.

Phio stuck around a while and played video games with her sister.

Phione: Woop woop, I’m winning!

Altaria: Not for long, sister dearest…

Altaria: I made an oopsie…

Autonomous!Tari FTW.

She then decides to nap on a bunk bed instead of sleeping in her own bed. Yay for Autonomous!Tari.

Torchic: Mwahaha! It is time for the prom, and I’m going to wreck havoc!

Yupp, it’s prom time! Not only that, it’s Ledyba and Phillip’s last night as teens!

Leds is Prom Queen. Big surprise there.

And Phil is the King.

Even though she went with her boyfriend, apparently Leds has a crush on a different boy…maybe she really did want a replacement.

And yet she still had a great time with Phillip.

Of course Torchic got into a fight with somebody.

But he also got a love interest!

Her name is Sadie Fairchild. She must be descended from aliens.

Finally, this is Kindra Van Gould, the ghost-alien baby of Deoxys and Kurtis. I suppose it’s too much to ask that Kurtis actually contribute to her facial features.

That’s all for today, folks! We have one more chapter before Lavender gen, so get pumped! Hope you all have a great day and as always, Happy Simming!

4.15: Family Matters

Hello everyone! Time for a new chapter of the Kanto legacy! In the last chapter, Ledyba was declared the next heiress and Tepig, the eldest child of the generation, became a YA and left the house.

Well. We tried. Buddy is clearly not gay and seems to have an affinity for old ladies and teens. He’s been working his way through the unmarried Kanto ladies since I moved him in with Tepig.

Altaria: What is wrong with that child, not wanting my precious baby boy?!

My thoughts exactly, Tari.

At least one couple in this family is happy.

Phillip: Leds, moving in with you was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Ledyba: Aww, Phil…that’s so sweet of you to say.

The maid tries to get in good with me by befriending Deo.

Maid: What a lovely house you have here. I quite like the creepy pictures of everyone on the walls.

Deoxys: Okay…thanks I guess?

Deo rolled the wish to train someone and since the maid was so enthusiastic when talking to her, I took that to mean she volunteered.

Deoxys: You call that running? That’s sissy stuff! Step it up, lady!

Maid: On second thought…can I just leave now?

I guess training counts as inappropriate behavior because the entire household lined up to ask her to behave. Of course I set them back to doing (somewhat) useful things.

Jamie: Those idiots who gave me the eternally faithful reputation have no idea that I’m going to flirt with the maid first chance I get. And they never will. ~chuckles evilly~

Man, she’s getting to be as bad as Rachelle was…

Phillip: That aunt of yours is pretty great, huh? She gives me a funny feeling in my tummy…

Ledyba: Plumbob help us…

Cammy’s taken over painting for his brother. He’s rolled the LTW of master of the arts, and I locked it in. Maybe one of these days these Kantos won’t be so artistic…

Phillip: There goes your sister. And isn’t she just a work of art. I’d like to hang dat ass on my bedroom wall to stare at…

Ledyba: Is it too late to trade this in for a less defective model?

He really is devoted to Leds, I promise. He’s just a creep sometimes too. Like most men.

The next chess opponent, cousin Robyn, came over. They never finished the game.

Altaria: Why does everything in this house always break?…

Because Sims.

That’s really not necessary, hun.

Charmander: Shut up. You don’t know my life.

Actually, I do. Now get your butt downstairs.

See? Birthday.

Charmander: I suppose this is acceptable. After all, I finally get to leave this hell-hole!

Don’t sound too excited…

Phillip: HAHA, I bet you’re gonna grow up lame!

Jamie: You go, nephew!

Altaria: I don’t see why I should have to cheer. After all, you didn’t let me watch MY son grow up.

Well didn’t you grow up all handsome.

Charmander: Of course I did. Have you seen my parents?

Charmie rolled lucky to add to brave, couch potato, eccentric, and natural cook. He likes pop music, pancakes, and the color spiceberry, and he is a scorpio (like me!) He wants to be an astronaut.

Charmander: I’m gonna use my miner to dig for gold on the moon.

I’m sure you are. I don’t actually remember where his hair came from. Somewhere on TSR I think. But it’s the only one I like on him so he gets to keep it for now.

I’m not sure whether Leds is crying because her big brother is moving away or because she’s being hunted by her future brother-in-law.

Ledyba: I’m not crying. I just sneezed. And besides, having vampires around the house is freaking awesome, not scary.

Sure, hun. Keep telling yourself that.

I set him up with a career in the military and sent him on his way. Goodbye, Charmie! Have a good life in SP! He moved in with another family member (I think Unown) and Abbie (Blue Girl.)

They are very happy together.

I did keep the miner out back. I actually forgot we had it until he moved.

Family meal!

Kurtis: Why is there a child at this table? You know perfectly well how much I loathe children.

Torchic: Why the antagonism? I haven’t even done anything evil to you yet.

Phillip: He’s just an ass like that.

Ledyba: You tell ’em honey.

Jamie: Why must you children argue all the time? It hurts my poor old heart…

Altaria: I’d just like some cake, plzkthx.

Deo doesn’t care for festivities. She’s too busy discovering stars named after Pokemon ships. In daytime. Because logic.

Excuse me children, but what are you doing?

Ledyba: Are you stupid? What does it look like we’re doing?

Must you?

Apparently they must. And in her late father’s bed too. I must say this is in quite poor taste.

Ledyba: Do I look like I care what you think?

Satisfied?

Ledyba: Immensely.

At least it wasn’t a TFB.

Robyn came back over to play. Leds won, of course.

Ledyba: I quite enjoy crushing the hopes and dreams of my opponents.

Are we sure she’s not the evil one?

Torchic: I swear, chemistry table, I will one day rule you…but first I have to go potty.

Chemistry Table: Challenge accepted.

This seemingly pointless picture of Tari by the toilet actually does serve a purpose. It reminds me to tell you that she is now on free will. Whenever I click on her now, I get a portrait panel error and the menu on the bottom screen always displays her info no matter who is active. So since she’s completed her LTW, she can just do what she wants and I won’t click on her anymore. It seems autonomous Tari can make it to the toilet on her own, so good for her.

Phillip: You sure know how to groove, man!

Camerupt: Dude, you just deflowered my baby cousin. If you don’t want to die tonight, you’ll stay the hell away from me.

Phillip: Gotcha.

Phillip: If I can’t listen to music I’ll just scare old ladies!

Jamie: Oh my. I sure am scared.

Oh, you’re being mean to her now? I thought she made your tummy feel funny.

Phillip: This is how I show affection.

I think there are more beneficial things you could be doing.

Like raise your relationship with your girlfriend.

Phillip: Baby, you so fine I could just eat you up.

Ledyba: That’s so lame it’s almost cute.

Robyn: I really didn’t need to see this.

Robyn: No really, it’s fine. I’ll just sit here and do my homework while you two make out two feet away from me. It’s all good.

Poor Robyn. She’s not used to the awkward things that go on in this house.

Lucky Jamie gets to keep fixing stuff. There is always something broken in this house despite everything supposedly being unbreakable.

Torchic: Why must I be subjected to this thing you mortals call “homework?” It seems to be a waste of my talents.

You know, every kid asks me that but nobody ever gets out of doing it. So suck it up.

Torchic: Drat…foiled again…

D’aww. They wuv each other.

Ledyba: Shut up. I’m only doing this because his slimy ectoplasmic body feels awesome to touch.

Phillip: ~loving sigh~ Yeah. What she said.

Poor, clumsy Tari falls into Deo’s training camp of terror.

Deoxys: Keep running, maggot!

Altaria: But I’m tired and I have work tomorrow…

Deoxys: No excuses! Get your ass back up!

Camerupt: You know I love you like a sister, right cuz?

Ledyba: The feeling is mutual, Cammy.

Camerupt: So would you maybe wanna be my official BFF?

Ledyba: Do you even have to ask?

ZOMG They both squee-ed! That is the cutest thing ever! They both had the wish locked in and I’ve never actually done this before.

Tori asked his cousin Robyn for a bedtime story.

Torchic: Read me to sleep, minion?

Robyn: Sure, why not.

She kind of got lost.

Torchic: Where’d my minion go? I’m getting impatient…

Apparently she got distracted by science. It happens to the best of us.

During the evening, Deo enjoys a nice bath. She has a big day in the morning.

Birthday!

Deoxys: Here that, future husband? We can finally move out and start our new life together!

Kurtis: That’s nice hun. Can I have cake first?

Here’s grown up Deo! I had a hard time dressing her. A lot of things looked kinda awkward on her because she’s skinny but she’s got big muscles.

Deoxys: Still making fun of me even when I’m about to leave, huh?

She rolled eco-friendly to go with evil, light sleeper, loser, and cat person. She likes pop music, vegetarian fish and chips, and some color I apparently didn’t write down. She is a pisces, and she wants to be the empress of evil.

Autonomous Tari got stuck in a birthday loop. Hooray.

Altaria: Birthdays are srs bidness.

Before they left, I made sure that chimes were heard. We wouldn’t want them breaking up before having babies, would we?

Altaria: I am so sick of all this cake, aren’t you wife?

Jamie: I find my extra fat strangely pleasant, actually.

After babies were conceived, I hooked Deo up with a job in the criminal career. Kurt already has his job.

Our heiress then decides to distract from her sister’s big day.

Ledyba: I’m seeing how long I can hold my breath. Gonna set a world record!

Ledyba: Holy plumbob…I need AIR!!!

I don’t think she’ll be setting any records soon.

With Deo and Kurtis gone, we’re down to six Sims in the house.

They got married shortly after leaving.

And had a ghost-alien baby named Kindra.

That’s all for today, folks. Thanks for reading and, as always, Happy Simming!

4.14: Goodbye Insanity

Hey guys! Hope you’re having a great 2016 so far! It’s finally time for a new chapter of the Kanto legacy! In the last chapter, we had much romance between Deoxys and Leds and their respective Van Gould boys. Tari changed jobs, Torchic aged up into a child, and we moved all the graves to the graveyard next door to the house. Now let’s find out who won the heir poll and will take over the legacy!

T’was not poor Deo.

Deoxys: Why doesn’t anybody like me? ~sobs~

They like you, honey. They just don’t want you to be heiress.

Charmie is also not the winner.

Charmander: It’s all good. If I was heir, you wouldn’t just let me sit around and watch TV.

Altaria: Why even include my nieces and nephew in the heir poll? Obviously my children are the best.

Well…

Tying for second place is Cammy. Close, but no cigar kid.

Camerupt: That’s fine by me. I don’t really want all that responsibility.

The other second place Sim was Tepig.

Tepig: They like me. They really me 🙂

Which means…

Our Vermilion heiress is Ledyba!

Ledyba: Oh. Cool.

She won by a landslide. I was really surprised, actually. Not that she won, but just that she won by so much. Anyways, now that we’ve chosen our heiress, let’s jump on into the “action.”

These two are always fighting. Though it seems like Deo is making an effort to be nice to him now that he’s the official legacy spouse.

Deoxys: So…how’d you die?

Phillip: Umm….

So direct…it’s no wonder people don’t generally enjoy her company…

While everyone else is asleep, the future empress of evil gets to work out.

Her boyfriend works in the music career, so he gets home late. He’s never tired, so he stays up and paints.

The two get to share a nice breakfast together before everyone else wakes up and the day begins.

Deoxys: So how was work?

Kurtis: Fine.

Riveting conversation.

The children are teleported to school in the morning, because they can’t be trusted to actually get on the bus.

Tepig: I’m a dog. Woof woof.

Camerupt: It’s such a beautiful day, isn’t it little brother?

Torchic: It will be as long as no vampires show up. They are my rivals in villainy…

Deoxys: How can these dorks be more popular than me?…

Only two Sims are left at home during they day. Kurtis, who gets to play his guitar.

And Jamie, who cleans up whatever the maid left behind.

And fixes random broken things in the house.

When the kids get home, Cammy rolled the wish to play hopscotch with Leds, so I bought this for them.

Ledyba: You call that hopscotch? You’re going down, cousin.

Camerupt: Yay! Hopscotch!

Ledyba: Imma beat your ass, Cammy 😀

(I never played hopscotch as a kid, so I don’t really have much to say about it…)

Phil never came home. I found him at the park chatting with Unown’s son, Barry. He is the uncle to both the Van Goulds and the Kantos. This is probably the closest thing to creepy legacy incest that we’ll get. Hopefully.

Deoxys: Look at me. My face is perfectly symmetrical. Why don’t people like me? I’m gorgeous.

Birthday time! This is Robyn, the youngest child of Phione.

Judy, one of Kyovan’s twins.

And Ginger, the other twin.

Tari’s still working on painting.

Camerupt: I am never getting married, cuz. I have to keep myself open to all the lovelies of the world, you know?

Ledyba: Try telling that to your girlfriend. She’s already changed her name to Mrs. Camerupt Kanto.

Camerupt: I’ll just have to let her down gently.

We’ll see about that.

After their deep conversation, the cousins play chess together. I think Cammy spends more time helping Leds with her LTW than working on hiw own skills.

Since Deo’s been working super hard on her athletic skill lately, I let her slack off a little. She ended up playing video games ALL NIGHT.

Deoxys: I love beating nerds at their own game!

Tari’s been going around kicking gnomes. Poor red 😦

Tori reads a lot.

Torchic: Evil genuises need to be well read.

You’re not a genius, hun. But you can think whatever you want.

I hate how everyone stands around listening to guitar players when they could be doing important things. It looks like Kurtis is stealing Cammy’s thunder.

Camerupt: How dare.

At least Tepig is doing something useful. I’m rather surprised he’s painting a guy. He usually paints plants.

Leds invited over her first ranked chess opponent, her cousin Suzanna. She and Kurtis used to have a thing.

Deoxys: Love rival!

Suzanna didn’t get anywhere near Kurt and Leds won the game!

I took our new maid into CAS because she had the face-hair mismatching glitch. And also because Jamie rolled a wish to flirt with her. I should be mad, but I’m mostly amazed that it took this long for a flirty Sim to roll a wish for anyone besides her wife.

I finally got some of these Sims to do something other than listen to Kurtis play guitar. Cammy had the wish to learn the painting skill locked in for a while. I figured, why not. Painting and logic are pretty much staples for the Kantos anyways.

Charmie invents more.

Tori plays around with the chemistry station.

He does about as well as any other Sim.

Tepig ages up tomorrow, so I invited Buddy Judd over in hopes that they’d like each other. Nobody could talk to him. The only option was “stop doing that.” Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to hope SP gets them together.

What’s up, Tari?

Altaria: You might want to hear this.

Oh. Ummm….

Altaria: Not only am I twice your age, you are dating my son! How dare you ask such things of me!

So, yeah…that happened…

Deo gets to prove her skills and fix the TV. I’m kind of surprised her incompitence didn’t make her fail.

Deoxys: Hey! I heard that!

Sorry, hun. Can aliens fail fixing stuff? I’ve never had it happen.

Finally, it’s time for our eldest Vermilion child to become a YA!

Tepig: I don’t know about you, but that cake looks fantastic…

I didn’t send him to school so that he could age up without a billion people watching him. He became a YA before school actually started, so it shouldn’t have counted as skipping school. But…

HE WAS ON THE HONOR ROLL! HE’S BEEN ON THE HONOR ROLL FOR DAYS NOW!!! I am so irate right now….This is the first Sim I’ve ever had in TS3 who didn’t age up well…I can’t believe my perfect record was slaughtered because I had him skip a day to age him up…

He adds excitable to artistic, good, insane, and bookworm. He likes pop music, grilled cheese (!) and the color blue and is a pisces. He wants to be an illustrious author. He rolled it three times during his teen years and after the heir poll, I caved and locked it in.

I do love him so, and I considered keeping him around for a while but I still haven’t transferred TS3 over to a new computer so the game’s still pretty laggy and we still have more kids to age up. I will miss him so.

Tari decided to not actually go to work today, and instead stood around outside her building. Probably to spite me for not letting her watch her oldest child grow up. It’s a good thing her LTW is finished and this won’t actually affect her in any way, because otherwise I’d be really peeved off…

Altaria: I live to please ^.^

After cake, Kurtis decided to have a go at Tepig for skipping school. And to think I almost broke you up with Deo to be Tepig’s spouse instead >-<

I set him up in the self employed painter career and shipped him out. Bye bye, Tepig! Have a good life in SP!

He moved in with Azelf and her army of cats, and Buddy moved in too. I really hope my game is kind to him, he deserves some happiness.

That’s all I have for you today. I’m not very happy with this chapter, but eh. I only had my terrible pictures to work with. Lavender gen is coming up soon. I hope you’re all excited for nooboos! Until next time, Happy Simming!

4.13: There’s Something About Van Gold Boys

Hey guys! I know I just posted last night, but this is the last chapter before the heir poll so I got too excited. I just had to write this today. In the last chapter, Deoxys rolled an LTW (the first of this gen to do so) and the teens went to prom. The next day, Solrock aged up but Leds had issues. So let’s get started and see if things are back to normal!

Oh, look! After rebooting the game, Leds is back to normal!

Ledyba: What took you so long? Being stuck as a creepy dwarf thing was exhausting…

She rolled perfectionist, but it didn’t stick. I tried giving it to her through master controller a few times. Still didn’t stay. I’ll give it to her when she ages into YA.

Charmie got asked on a date by this girl, Maricela Shaver. She was Curley Hair from the sleepover. I’m not completely sold on Green Girl for Charmie yet, so I let him go.

Charmander: Let’s see…on the one hand, we’ve got hot green chick…on the other hand, we’ve got hot brunette chick…choices, choices…

Mericela: I’m right here, you asshat.

She’s a bit…interesting looking.

Here’s a closer look. If it weren’t for the jaw and they eyes, she’s pretty face bland. But Charmie can continue the date. We’ll see if he ends up liking her.

Charmander: If you marry me, you could end up being the spouse of an heir to a legacy! Isn’t that cool?

Maricela: Like right out of one of my romance novels…maybe being with this guy wouldn’t be so bad after all…

I sent them to get dinner and then to see a film. We’ll catch back up with them later.

Meanwhile, Ledyba’s on her own special mission.

Ledyba: What is this place? It looks like a Munsters mansion reject.

Ledyba: Woah, it’s a little alien dude! Is he made of ectoplasm like daddy?

Phillip: Hehe…boobs.

Leds, meet your future husband.

Ledyba: Little dude, the fact that you are a ghost is a HUGE turn on for me. As soon as you grow up, you’re mine ;D

Phillip: Oh…okay…

Oh, look. It’s Kurtis. Back from trying to seduce teenage girls?

Kurtis: For your information, things with Suzanna didn’t work out. We’re on…poor terms at the moment…wait a minute…what are you doing here anyways?

My youngest girl is making friends with Phillip.

Kurtis: You want my little brother too?! Why can’t you just leave us alone!!!

Because you two have been promised to Kanto women since your conception.

These two didn’t talk for very long before Phillip decided he was tired and needed to go to bed. But they did become friends, so a little progress was made tonight.

Charmie’s date went well. She ran off after the movie, but I think they had a “great date.” Still not sold on either of his spouse options. We might have to hunt down Blue Girl.

Back home, Tari maxed charisma! Huzzah!

Jamie: Wanna go celebrate, baby?

Altaria: You always know just what to say!

Torchic: I shall eat you alive, IF with default name!

Yeah, I forgot to name poor Tori’s. I think it ended up being Puzzle or something ridiculous like that.

Ledyba: Befriending your future ghost husband is exhausting…where can a girl get some power food around here?

Solrock: I can finally actually raise my athletic skill! This is the best day ever!

Good, I’m glad one IF in this household does productive things.

Camerupt: Hey, I’m getting pretty good at this guitar thing. ~rolls wish to be a master of the arts~

Nice try hun, but your great grandpa already did that. If you want a chance at being heir, you’ll have to do something different.

Tepig: I’m boss at this painting thing. ~rolls wish to be an illustrious author~

C’mon guys, can’t we get any original LTWs in this family?

At least one Sim in this house is doing something original.

Deoxys: Must…get…in shape…or Kurtis…won’t want me…anymore…

I..umm…don’t think you were meant to age up yet, bud. Oh well, I guess if my game wants to glitch out and make it easier for Leds to seduce her husband, I won’t complain. I think he’s rather pretty. Much better than either of Charmie’s options so far.

Speaking of Leds, she and Cammy haven’t gotten to hang out much since they became teens, but they’re still best friends. While playing this game, she rolled her LTW. Chess master. Not very extreme of you, Leds.

Ledyba: What are you talking about? Chess gives you the opportunity to dominate someone physically and mentally. I’d say that’s very extreme.

Despite being out of character for her, I locked it in. It’s something we haven’t done yet. (By the way, she’s been stuck in her formal outfit since the age up. Might have to reset her at some point.)

Unfortunately, Cammy couldn’t play long. He had places to be, aliens to visit.

Inside, Solrock is having a go at Deo.

Solrock: How dare you call yourself evil! You are a disgrace to Sims with mean traits everywhere!

Deoxys: But…but I am evil…

Our other evil kid is too adorable to be really evil either.

Torchic: I’m not adorable! I’m mutilating this block. See? EVILLL!!!!

Sure, kid.

We have company!

Ledyba: Wow, ghost boy! You grew up! And…you’re kinda hot…~blushes~

Phillip: Heh…that was kinda the idea…

Deoxys: Kurtis. How very nice to see you.

Kurtis: Hello, Deo. The pleasure’s all mine.

Why don’t y’all move inside and talk for a bit?

These two hit it off right away.

Ledyba: You’re so cool…living your whole live half dead is mega wicked…

Phillip: Heh…I guess it has its perks…especially if it means I get to hang out with someone as awesome as you…

Ledyba: That’s so sweet…

These two made up quickly. Although adult-teen interactions are so awkward…

Ledyba: OMG, we’re hugging…so this is what ghosts feel like…

Deoxys: Still mad that my baby sister is after your baby brother?

Kurtis: Naw. They seem sweet together. He really likes her.

Deoxys: And I really like you…

Kurtis: Deo…

First kiss!

Ledyba: This might seem kinda sudden…but I really like you, so…be my boyfriend?

Phillip: I really like you too, Leds! And I’d be honored to be your bae.

❤

Ledyba: Catch me!

Phillip: H…heavy…

Hey! Don’t call my little girl fat!

Deoxys: So Kurtis, do you think maybe you’d like to make us official too? I mean, our siblings have known each other a day and they’re already dating. We’ve known each other since I was a kid.

Kurtis: Sure, Deo. Why the hell not?

Kurtis: Not in front of the camera, Deo. You don’t want readers thinking I’m a pedophile or anything, do you?

Deoxys: But…Kuris…

I caught these two about to run off and woohoo in the shower. Not on my watch, children! You guys just became teens, no need to think about that yet.

Deoxys: So, Kurtis. I know you’ve been wanting to move out, so what do you say you and your brother come live with us?

Kurtis: Sure! I don’t see anything wrong with that!

So we moved Rachelle, Azurill, and the two IFs out…

And the Van Gold boys in.

Kurtis is an artistic, snobby couch potato who sleeps lightly and dislikes children. He wants to be a master of the arts.

Phillip is an artistic, grumpy, inappropriate animal lover. He wants to be a home design hotshot.

I didn’t take a picture of it because months ago when I was playing this I was still adamant that one of the girls would be heir, but Kurtis and Tepig heartfarted when he moved in, so Kurt could also be an option for him.

If it feels like I moved them in really hastily, it’s because I did. I kept getting popups that Kurtis was flirting with half the town, and I freaked out. And months ago me decided that the better option would not be turning off his romance, but to instead move him in. So there you have it.

Now, we come to a little update section. I was going to make this a separate post, but decided against it. These pics were meant to be for another chapter, but the Kanto save file is getting really laggy again, so despite playing a few in-game days, I only have about 20 pictures. So I’ll just show you the highlights.

Jamie got to retire. She wasn’t moving up in her career at all and she wished for it, so I let her.

I moved all the graves to the graveyard in hopes that this would help with the slowdown at night.

Torchic became a child and rolled equestrian. I’m going to have fun dressing him when he’s a teen ❤

Azelf became an elder. If Squirtle were still alive, that means he’d be an elder now too T.T

Tari got he opportunity to switch jobs, and I let her. I figured being governor would be more fun for her.

Finally, Tarmie had their first anniversary! Awww.

That’s all the updates, but I also thought I’d use this post to show you guys some of the spouse options.

Obviously for Deoxys, there’s Kurtis Van Gold. He’s also an option for Tepig.

Here are Tepig’s other options.

This one’s name is Buddy Judd. He’s already a YA, but Tepig’s just three days away, so he’s not too much older.

This one is Lonnie Bolech. He’s still a teen. His face intrigues me-I can’t decide if I like it or not-so I thought I’d consider him.

Now for Charmander’s options.

Christina Cornett (Green Girl.) She’s definitely interesting looking.

Mericela Shaver (Curley Hair).

There is also one more.

Abbie Jaramillo, otherwise known as Blue Girl. She’s my favorite for Charmie right now. She’s already YA too, but she’s about the same age as Kurtis, so there’s not too much of a difference.

Next, Camerupt’s options. The first is to bring Paras back into the house with plastic surgery.

The second is this girl, Maribel DeLong. She’s properly adorable, even with the squinty eyes. She’s my favorite option for Cammy.

Finally, for Ledyba.

Phillip Van Gold.

I don’t have any options for Torchic at this point. I don’t know his gender preference yet, and all the kids his age are face ones. I don’t think I’ll include him in the heir poll anyways.

Welp, that’s the end of this ridiculously long chapter/update/spouse introduction post. Sorry it’s so scattered and rambly at points. This will be the last chapter for a while, at least until I get a new computer. The Kanto save is pretty unplayable on my ancient monstrosity at this point. I will be posting the heir poll sometime today, so be on the lookout for that! Hope you guys have a great day, and as always Happy Simming!

4.12: Romance in the Air

Hey guys! Time for another chapter of the Kanto legacy! In the last chapter, Camerupt and Paras aged up into teens and Paras became a crazy obsessed lover. Huzzah! Let’s jump on in and see what my lovelies are up to this time.

We start off with some toddler training.

Jamie: Can you say bait, Tori?

Torchic: Torture of innocent creatures! MWAHAHAHA!

Jamie: Isn’t he just precious?

Joe’s Ghost: I thought I told you to get rid of that stupid Simmer already!

Tepig: I’m sorry, grandpa Joe! I don’t think that’s even physically possible…

Joe’s Ghost: SILENCE.

Tepig: No, wait! Grandpa!

Tepig: I hate you. Immensely.

Not my fault you’re insane, hun.

Rachelle: You young things are so lucky. You get a brand spanking new, posh limo to pick you up and take you to prom! Back in my day, we had to walk to prom uphill in the snow both ways.

Camerupt: Yawn. As if I hadn’t heard that one before.

That’s right, tonight is prom for the Vermilion kids.

And Kyovan’s eldest daughter Suzanna aged up just in time for it.

Deo rolled an LTW. She’s going to become the empress of evil. If I remember correctly, she’ll need the athletic skill in the criminal career. I could be mistaken. The first heir to my first legacy ever was the last Sim I had in that career so it’s been a while.

Rachelle wanted to cast a love charm on someone and poor Ri hasn’t been out of the house in ages, so I let her have the honors. This girl was the first person we came across. Hope Ri likes her!

Looks like she does!

Here’s Azurill’s new girlfriend. I forgot her name, but you probably won’t be seeing her much anyways.

Ledyba: Who needs icky romance when we have each other, right Mr. Bunny?

Ledyba: Oh my goodness, Mr. Bunny can fly!

Mr. Bunny: They laughed. They scoffed. Until I took liftoff.

Ledyba: And now he’s flying! He’s flying high in the sky!

Rachelle: C’mon, Tori. Come to Auntie Shelly. I won’t bite you. Much.

Torchic: I’m the most dangerous Sim in this family and even I’m terrified of that creature…

Rachelle: How dare you disrespect your elders so!

Looks like our kiddos are getting ready for prom already.

Altaria: I can see your thought bubble, son. It’s far too early for you to be thinking of diamond rings, especially if you’re planning to give one to that trashy girlfriend of yours.

Camerupt: She’s not my girlfriend, Ma…

Altaria: But she will be…

Charmander: Now wait…was it two slows and one quick or two quicks and one slow?…GAH! I’ll never get a girl to dance with me if I can’t even remember that!

Deoxys: My back is killing me from all that exercising you made me do…how am I meant to dance with my bae if my back is broken?

I highly doubt it’s broken, Deo.

Tepig: I’m so embarrassed about earlier….could you leave me alone for awhile? I don’t want readers seeing me like this…

Paras: Imbeciles. All of them.

Poor Leds has to stay behind. She’s one day away from getting to go with the rest of the group.

Ledyba: I don’t mind. I’ll probably skip my prom when it comes anyways. I’ll be too busy doing some extreme sports or something cool like that.

Solrock: I’m okay with it too. Gives me time to develop my hot bod before I present myself to the lovely ladies of high school.

Against my better judgment, I said yes. Although I’m a bit surprised by the fact that Cammy asked her and not the other way around.

Charmie became prom king and got himself an RI! Let’s take a look at her, shall we?

Christina Cornett, better known as Green Girl from the slumber party. She’s not bad looking, but she definitely has an interesting nose and lips…

Poor Tepig. He just can’t seem to catch a break.

Surprisingly, Deoxys was named prom queen. I guess she’s not such a loser after all.

If you’re wondering about the lack of Kurtis related popups…

He ever so kindly decided to skip prom and grow up. And then had the audacity to start flirting with Suzanna, who literally just turned teen today. What a quality Sim I’ve picked out for Deo, ne?

The teens return home after an interesting night.

Paras: YES! I told you I’d get him to fall for me! I just knew we’d be together forever!

Camerupt: Well, I don’t know about forever, babe…

Deoxys: That’s right, just rub it in my face that you got your man while mine stood me up to become an adult and flirt with another woman…

Poor kid. That can’t be good for her self-esteem.

This is becoming a common sight. If I don’t constantly keep them busy, all they do is suck face…

Tepig: ~grumble, grumble~ Love stinks.

Don’t worry, honey. We’ll find you a nice boy soon.

Tepig: Like I trust you to do anything right?

Ouch. You’ll see. I’ll find your true love for you and then you’ll be thanking me instead of ridiculing me.

Redundant prom pics are redundant. It would be awesome if they had better poses, but we get what we get I suppose.

Cammy the virtuoso finally found Bronzong’s old guitar. Hopefully this’ll keep him occupied for a while.

Paras: ~pouts~ My Cammy isn’t paying attention to me…

He’s skilling, like any good legacy child should. Why don’t you go do something useful?

Paras: When I’m Queen, you’ll be the first to go.

Why do I get the feeling everyone this generation hates my guts?

Charmander: You know, I just realized something. I was about to invent something special for Christie, but I bet she’d prefer it if I wrote her a love letter!

I  think, if she really likes you, she’d love whatever you decided to give her. (Can Lysander being on the inventing table make it explode or anything?)

The final toddler skill has been learned. Huzzah!

Since aliens don’t sleep, I had Deo work on her athletic skill all through the night.

She may have nearly died a couple times, but I think she’s making some progress.

And in the morning, it’s time for some birthdays.

Solrock: Can’t wait to meet some girls finally!

Ledyba: Unless the cake catches fire, this event bores me.

We ran into some…complications.

Solrock: Hah! Looks like you can’t grow into a teenager, master. You can’t boss me around any longer, kiddo!

Ledyba: Sol, if you don’t shut the hell up I’ll punch your lights out.

A while back, I posted about one of my Sims being stuck aging, and when she did age up she became a bland pudding face. That was Leds. Fortunately, after some fiddling, I was able to age her up through master controller while keeping her face intact.

GAH! SO SCARY!

Much better. Changing outfits seemed to work.

~sobs uncontrollably~

I think I’m gonna leave things here. Hopefully next time, things will be back to normal. Thanks so much for reading guys, and I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day! Happy Simming!

4.11: All About the Girls

Hey guys! Time for another chapter of the Kanto Legacy! Last time Ledyba’s IF Solrock turned into a real boy. Altaria gave birth to the final child of the generation, Torchic. Kurtis Van Gold asked Deoxys to go to prom with him. And finally, the ghost of Squirtle took a break from his reaping world tour to visit with his children. Time to see what shenanigans will occur today!

The lazy bum here still spends all of his free time in front of the TV. What are you watching, kid?

Charmander: Why don’t you see for yourself?

Cooking channel, huh? I can deal with that. Learn those recipes, boy!

Charmander: Yeah, yeah. Glad I could be useful to you for once.

Looks like you have company.

Paras: My favorite food is loch-ness monster sandwich, just so you know. Hint hint.

Charmander: MOOOOMMM! There’s a creepy kid sitting next to me! Help!

Rachelle: Just hit her with your magic son, mommy’s busy applying face cream!

Don’t you dare, Charmie. Your cousin might just kill you.

Tari has completed her LTW, ladies and gents! These Cerulean kids, as uninteresting as they were, sure are efficient, aren’t they?

Of course she celebrates with her bae.

Jamie: Congrats, honey. What are you going to do now that you’ve completed your LTW?

Altaria: I’m going to Disney World.

The baby of the family is already a toddler. Those two days went by quickly. Could you turn toward the camera so readers can see your lovely face?

Torchic: Don’t you know never to stare directly into the face of evil? I’ll turn you all to stone!

I don’t think it works that way, hun.

Torchic: Prove it then!

Well, readers? Are you stone?

Torchic: Stare into my eyes. I dare you. I may look adorable, but I’m the deadliest entity in this house.

That’s not saying much. He’s the only one of the Tarmie kids to get Tari’s nose. I also find it interesting that all three kids got Jamie’s berry skin. They seem (at least for me) to be the hardest to pass down.

Paras: Hey! There’s more important birthdays going on over here!

Paras: Your turn, hun. And you’d better be a hunk, otherwise we can’t be together.

Camerupt: Give me a break, Paras. Have you seen the rest of my family? I’m bound to be gorgeous.

Here’s our new teen! As you can see from this picture, he’s the spitting image of his mother. He does have Tari’s lips, so he’s not a clone.

He rolled kleptomaniac.

Camerupt: I’m going to steal the hearts of all the lovely ladies of the world 😉

Charmander: Cake! Huzzah! Umm, I mean…you go, cuz!

Camerupt: Auntie Shelly, there’s dishes all over this house and it’s disgusting! Since you never do anything all day, don’t you think you could clean up this mess or something?

Rachelle: Quiet, sonny! I’m trying to enjoy my last piece of cake before my poor old heart gives out on me.

Oh please, you’re not even close to dying you old hag.

Camerupt: So now that we’re teens, how’s about you and I get some nice dinner together one night?

Paras: You realize that you’re mine forever as long as I say so, right slave?

Camerupt: Whatever gets me a kiss, babe ;D

Ledyba: My cousin Cammy demanded that you clean up these plates, mother. When he tells you to do something, you do it!

Rachelle: How’s an old lady supposed to live in a house where all these munchkins are ganging up on her?

We have a visitor!

Kurtis: Isn’t it enough that I asked that girl to prom? Now I have to spend another day at this insane asylum you people call a home?

Oh, be nice. You like it here.

Deoxys: Kurtis! I’m so glad you could make it!

Kurtis: Yeah, well. Not like I had anything better to do.

The two chat for a bit, building up their relationship more.

And then we go in for the kill! I mean, hug.

Deoxys: Wow, you’re actually touching me? You don’t think I have some kind of disease or anything?

Kurtis: Of course not. Just because you’re an alien, that doesn’t mean you’re infectious. And besides, hugging you feels kinda nice…

Deoxys: ~dies a little~

Deoxys: Wait…what are you doing?

Kurtis: Relax, Deo.

Kurtis: I’m just holding your hands. Is that ok?

Deoxys: Ye..yes…more than ok…

Deoxys: Time to take a leap of faith.

Kurtis: Wha…

Deoxys: Oh plumbob…please don’t hate me…

Success!

And then he promptly left.

Deoxys: But…wait…

Azurill: He kissed her! Can you believe it?

Camerupt: But then he just left! Doesn’t he know that’s not how you woo a lady?

Azurill: This is too juicy! I’ve got to get the full story!

Azurill: So…

Deoxys: I’m not telling you a damn thing. Not shut up and make your move.

Sim check. I sent Leds and Solrock to the festival.

Ledyba: LAME. Why’d we have to come to some stupid park? I wanna be where the real action is!

Solrock: I think this place is quite pleasant.

Charmie went to the junkyard to collect more scraps.

Charmander: This would be a nice pipe to bang over someone’s head, don’t you think?

This is sort of a creepy gen, ne? Shouldn’t we save the weirdos for Lavender town?

Cammy and Paras got to go fishing together.

Camerupt: Psst! Over here!

What are you doing in the bushes?

Camerupt: Hiding.

From who?

Camerupt: Paras. I think she brought me here to drown me. She knows I can’t promise myself to just one woman when there are so many other lovelies out there for me.

Don’t worry, hun. She can’t drown you. I’ll make sure of it.

And of course, Tepig paints.

Tepig: I was wondering when you were going to mention me this chapter.

You asked for more space, remember?

Tepig: …

Back at the festival, these two decided to have a hotdog eating contest. Because that’s all the Kantos ever seem to want to do at festivals.

Ledyba: This is different. These are extreme hotdogs.

I’m sure they are.

Ledyba: On your mark…

Solrock: Get set…

Ledyba and Solrock: GO!

Ledyba: Oh my gosh, I won!

Back home, Jamie partakes in the ceremonial skilling of the toddler.

Jamie: Yay! You’re doing so well, my little cutie pie!

Torchic: That’s right, mother. Fall under my adorable toddler spell!

Everyone returns home for the night. I see Paras didn’t kill you, Cammy.

Camerupt: Nope. And I made some decent cash from those fish we caught too. Catch enough of those, and I could be on my way to fame and fortune! Maybe hanging around with her won’t be so bad…

Ledyba: Hehe. I’m a winner.

Paras: Just you wait, Simmer. After prom, that boy will never think about another woman again. He will be mine, and so will this legacy!

We shall see about that, hun.

That’s all I have for you this chapter, guys. I have two more chapters to write, plus one quick update, and then it’ll be time for the heir poll! Yay! Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you all have a fantastic day! Happy Simming!

 

4.10: True Evil

Hey guys, I’m back with another chapter of the Kanto legacy! In the last chapter, Ledyba and Camerupt had an adorable friendship and Deoxys aged up into a teenager and attempted to make the moves on the oldest Van Gold boy. She did not succeed. We also found out that Tari is having another baby. Now, let’s jump right into this chapter, shall we?

First off, yay! Ri managed to max the logic skill as a YA, tying with Squirtle as the youngest Kanto ever to max a skill!

One of Paras’s traits is definitely angler, although I don’t recall why I sent her to the graveyard to fish instead of a pond. Maybe it was closer to their house?

Tari still likes to pull this thing out whenever I’m not keeping her busy. Not sure what use it is to her anymore, but whatever makes the pregnant lady happy, I guess.

What’s this? Tepig’s actually wearing clothes?

Tepig: Mom got mad at me for walking around in my swim gear around cousin Ledyba. I can’t imagine why. I mean, we’re all family right? It baffles me almost as much as this calculus homework…

Ledyba: I don’t mind you walking around half naked one bit. It’s a learning experience for a growing girl. In fact, you should go ahead and take your shirt off right now.

Tepig: Really? Don’t mind if I…

Leds, when you finish your homework why don’t you go do something useful and stop creeping on the men in your family.

Ledyba: Hey, it worked for Auntie Tari. She creeped on daddy and she became heiress.

That’s a much better use of your time.

Ledyba: Here, Solrock. Drink this.

Solrock: What is it?

Ledyba: No clue.

Solrock: Maybe this isn’t a good idea…

Ledyba: Don’t be such a pansy! Just drink it already!

Solrock: Well…bottoms up…

Solrock: Woah…trippy…

Charmander: I hate to interrupt the moment, but I almost died again.

~sigh~ Go inside and get cleaned up, hun.

Here’s the newly human Solrock. I absolutely adore his coloring. Too bad he has to be such a face one.

Solrock: I resent that!

I wrote down his traits. They are loves the cold, athletic, and mean-spirited.

What do you think of your new friend, Leds?

Ledyba: Eh. I’ve seen better.

Ledyba: Now this is more like it! WEEE! Ride like the wind, Bullseye!

Don’t wanna play outside with Leds, Solrock? Won’t she get mad at you?

Solrock: She doesn’t own me! I’ll sit here and play with my blocks if I wanna!

It’s your funeral.

Phione’s eldest child Derik just became a teenager! They grow up so fast!

There goes Deo, pretending she’s evil again.

Deoxys: Mwahaha!!!

Solrock: What’s her beef?

She’s getting picked on. That’s her beef.

Deoxys: I’ll get back at them for this! I’ll make them rue the day they ever called me names! I’ll spread a rumor that she’s a loser, that’s what I’ll do!

It’s sad, really. Poochyena back in Pewter gen was a loser too, but I got one, maybe two popups that he was having trouble in school. Deo comes home crying about bullies just about every day.

We got a bunny gnome! Huzzah! I figured we only got those for throwing the seasonal parties, but whatever. I forgot what I named him, but it’s not like I ever see the gnomes around anyways.

Rachelle: I heard you wanted to be informed about your family members’ bodies with minimal clothes on. Well, here’s what your sexy mother looks like in a nighty. What do you think, Ledy darling?

Ledyba: …I think I’m gonna be sick…

Honestly, this family…

At least someone is doing something productive.

Jamie: Just thought I’d let you know that I almost died.

This seems to be a recurring theme today.

Tepig is still painting away, I see.

While Charmie pretends to be studious.

Charmander: Hey! I always get my homework done!

Yeah, when you’re not blowing yourself up blasting magic everywhere.

Charmander: ~grumble, grumble~

Wait…wut?!

I’ve never had this happen before! Of course we said yes!

Deoxys: Of course I’ll go to prom with you! I’d be honored! Humbled, even! I can’t wait to rub it into that bitch Christina that I’m going to prom with the hottest guy in school!

Kurtis: Yeah, yeah…don’t make me regret asking.

I was seriously shocked by this. I kind of thought he hated her after her awkwardness the other day.

Charmander: Why does she get a date to the prom when I’m just stuck with hunks of metal?

Because I already had her future spouse picked out. There’s too many choices for you boys! Come home with a friend from school one day and I’ll hook you up.

Charmander: So much work…~grumble, grumble~

Altaria: HELP! SOS! BABY INCOMING!

Yay, the (hopefully) last member of Vermilion gen is arriving!

Although the current baby of the family is distracting me from the birth.

Ledyba: Five laps to go before the end of the race, and Kanto is far ahead of the rest of the pack! She’s got this race in the bag!

Ledyba: Oh no! An angry driver that Kanto drove off the road is getting out of his car and running her way! Time to sweeerrvee!

Ledyba: Did you see that? That was too close!

Charmander: What makes her so special anyways? She’s not a witch like me, so she can’t even make pretty magic.

Oh Charmie, no need to be jealous. You know we love you too.

Altaria: Don’t worry, nooboo. If we’re patient enough, they’ll eventually acknowledge your birth.

Oh, oopsies! The new Tarmie baby is another boy named Torchic.

I was waiting to use this name for a girl, but I guess this will have to do. Torchic was born an evil heavy sleeper. Looks like Deo’s got some competition.

Right after he was born, this random old guy hanging out on our property died…

Torchic: MWAHAHAH!!! Behold my evil power!

This couldn’t possibly be your fault. You’re just an infant.

Torchic: Oh, but it is! And if you don’t believe me, I’ll gladly do it again!  Gaze well upon my face, my dear. For it is the face of evil!!!

Deoxys: NOO!!! Random guy! Why’d you have to die? This is so sad!…

Grim: Is this chick for real?

Jamie: ‘Fraid so.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen…

Tepig: I hate these stupid dishes…

Squirtle: Don’t mind me. Just a happy haunt materializing.

Tepig: That’s funny. For a minute there I thought I heard a voice that wasn’t Grandpa Joe…

Squirtle: Hello, Ledyba. I’m your father. Sorry I haven’t been around lately, but I’ve been…held up.

Ledyba: I have a ghost dad? Neato!

Paras: Where can a girl get some toys around here?

Way to ruin the moment, chick -_-

Charmander: Dad! You’re back!

Squirtle: Sure am, kid. Since Grim had a reaping in the backyard tonight, I decided to pop in for a visit.

Charmander: We’re so glad you did! Right, Leds?

Ledyba: Ectoplasm…awesome…

Tepig: Look at that family moment over there…it disgusts me…

Squirtle: Deo! It’s so nice to see you again!

Deoxys: Eww! Get away from me, ghost dad! You abandoned us! You left me alone with that crazy witch lady who isn’t even my mother!

Charmander: He died, Deo.

Deoxys: That’s no excuse!

Ledyba: So I wonder…how many crazy stunts to I have to pull before I can become ectoplasm like daddy?

Please don’t!

Deoxys: Gosh…maybe I shouldn’t have been so hard on him…

Charmander: You think?

Squirtle: Look kids, it was great seeing you, but you’ve obviously been going through a lot lately and I’m not making things any easier. I need to go back to the underworld with Grim now, but I promise I’ll be back to see you again soon, ok?

Charmander: Wait dad! Please, don’t…

Charmander: …go…

I think it’s time we leave Charmie alone and see what else is going on, don’t you?

Ri still has a love for the babies of the house.

Azurill: I’m protecting him from all this sadness.

Torchic: Protecting me? HA! Foolish mortal, I caused all this sadness! MWAHAHA!!

Azurill: Isn’t he the sweetest thing?

Shelly went down to her old place of business to try casting a toadification spell on some poor soul.

Lady: No, please! Can’t we talk about this?

Not like anything she casts ever works.

Rachelle: Confound it!

Lady: I’m not…dead?

Not this time, hun.

Meanwhile, back at the house…

Altaria: Tada!

Tari became a proper adult.

…and decided to have a midlife crisis. Which I will most likely ignore.

Solrock: Hooray! You go, Mrs. K!

To close off this chapter, we have a few more birthday pictures to show off.

First are the Kyovan twins. The top picture is Ginger. The bottom is Judy. They certainly have MacDuff genes.

And this is Phione’s youngest child, Robyn. She’s quite adorable.

And finally, here is Ledyba’s future spouse Phillip Van Gold. I think I forgot to mention, he’s a vampiric ghost like his brother Kurtis.

Well, that’s the end of this chapter. Thank you guys so much for reading, and I hope you have a fantastic day! As always, happy Simming!

4.9: Alien Encounters

Hey guys, it’s time for another chapter of the Kanto legacy! And so soon after the last one, too! I’m bound and determined to post all the chapters I have left over break so that I can get the heir poll posted while I wait for my new computer. In the last chapter, Ledyba aged up into a child while her older brother Charmie became a teen. The rest of the time, the Vermilions attempted to establish their characters. Let’s see what they’re up to today, shall we?

We start off with the only friendship of the generation so far.

Camerupt: Leds, in honor of our alliance, I give you this gift as a token of our perpetual bond.

Ledyba: I have no idea what you just said, but YAY!!! PRESENT!!! Is it a motorcycle?!

It was some worthless rock he found in the catacombs last chapter. She loved it anyways.

And of course the only appropriate way to celebrate a gift is to play tag, right?

Meanwhile, inside the house, it’s Deoxys’s birthday!

Jamie, the Sim in the house who cares about poor Deo, was also the only one present for the celebration.

Jamie: Woop woop! You age up, weird alien chick!

Deoxys: I feel so loved…

Deoxys: I wish for a magical princess palace and a pony!…umm, I mean I wish for world domination! Mwahaha!

Deoxys: I feel so underwhelmed with this transition…

She rolled cat person. Fitting. She can sit menacingly in a swivel chair stroking a cat whilst concocting her evil schemes.

Deoxys: Or I can just pet them because they’re fluffy and adorable.

Pure evil right here, folks.

Gender preference check.

(That hair’s a little floaty, isn’t it?…)

I’ll gladly decide for you. Your preference is Kurtis Van Gold.

Charmander: You should pay more attention to me. Nobody likes aliens.

Hey, be nice to your sister! I’ll pay attention to you when you do something interesting instead of sitting around on the couch all day.

Charmander: …I’ll show you…

Ledyba: Man, playing tag with cousin Cammy is exhausting…who’s ready for some cake? I know I am.

Very cake oriented, this family.

Deoxys: Where am I headed on this fine afternoon?

To meet a very important person. Or, re-meet him really.

(Note: She has the same dress that Azelf, the Cerulean alien had as a teen. I feel like it fits her though since she’s a cat person. Many apologies for the unoriginality.)

Deoxys: Oh dear plumbob…it’s him…

That’s right, it’s your potential spouse.

Kurtis: Ugghh, seriously? This alien kid again?…

Deoxys: So, you were at my family’s slumber party a while back. Remember that? You thought I was a boy back then.

Kurtis: Yeah, I remember.

Deoxys: You’re looking particularly ghastly today, sir.

Kurtis: Umm, thanks I guess…

Deoxys: Umm…wonderful weather we’re having?

Kurtis: Is this chick for real?…

Kurtis: Look kid, if all you have to offer is small talk about the weather, I’m not interested. You seem nice, but please. Just leave before you embarrass yourself even more.

Deoxys: But…where did I go wrong?…

Deoxys: I’m really really sorry Kurt…I know I’m really awkward and that nobody likes me…I just…I don’t have many friends in school…I have more bullies than friends really, and I guess this is probably why…cause I’m a weirdo alien freak who doesn’t know the right things to say…I guess I just thought…

Kurtis: Woah, hey. It’s alright. You can stop rambling now, I get it. You know what? Why don’t you stick around a while. We can talk. Maybe you’re not suck a weirdo alien freak after all.

Deoxys: ~sniffles~ …really?

So how’s she going to use her second chance?

Deoxys: So…how’d you kick the bucket?

~headdesk~

Deoxys: What do you wanna do when you graduate? What career would you like to go into someday?

Much better.

Kurtis: This might sound weird, but I wanna go into music. I love watching symphonies with my dads, and I always thought it’d be neat to conduct them someday.

Deoxys: Really. How interesting. Tell me more.

Now that these two seem to be stabilized, let’s check on the rest of the family.

Ledyba: Solrock, other than cousin Cammy you are my absolute best friend in the world!

Charmander: Damn you, wall! You’ve turned my baby sister into a crazy person! She’s talking to inanimate objects!

Everything seems normal here.

Tepig: I thought we had an agreement about space…

Fine, fine. Carry on.

Camerupt: Why am I the only one doing homework?…

Beats me, kid. But I applaud your studiousness.

Oh no! A rejected flirt!

Deoxys: Since you like music, would you maybe wanna go see a concert with me?

Kurtis: Are you kidding? I may be a vampiric ghost, but even I have standards!

I think it’s time to go home, sweetie. We’ll try again another day.

Charmander: Let me give you some brotherly advice, Leds. Imaginary friends? They’re rubbish. They follow you around, they never leave you alone. They’re creepy, really. And I don’t want you getting any more involved with yours. Otherwise people will think I’m related to a loon. Well, another one anyways.

Ledyba: Says the person who talks to walls and blows himself up.

Ah, sibling bonding.

Tepig: Haha, you’re all old and wrinkly now, Auntie Shelly. I bet Grandpa Klink and Uncle Squirtle wouldn’t be so into you now, huh?

Rachelle: Sonny, that was uncalled for! Y’all shouldn’t speak bad about the dead like that. It’ll come back to haunt you.

Tepig: Yeah right. Like I believe anything you say.

Deoxys: Talking bad about my dead dad, huh? REVENGE SCARE!

Tepig: ZOMG It’s coming back to haunt me! Oh wait, it’s just that weirdo alien freak who lives with me.

Deoxys: D:

Ledyba: Oh hey. You can walk now.

Solrock: I’m not talking to you. Your brother hurt my feelings.

Ledyba: Don’t listen to that doofus, he doesn’t know anything.

Solrock: ….

Ledyba: Fine. I’ll go somewhere else then.

Ledyba: Your move, cuz.

Camerupt: Quiet Leds, I’m trying to focus…

Oh, would you look at that.

Altaria: Look son, you’re going to be a big brother again!

Tepig: That’s nice Ma.

With three of our kids already teenagers and the other two not too far behind, this kid might not get a fair chance in the heir race. In fact, I might not even include him/her. But I’ll let you guys decide when the time comes.

Altaria: I don’t feel so good…

Really? You don’t get morning sickness until AFTER you pop?

Altaria: It’s not MY fault your game is glitchy.

True…

This is Phione’s second child, Torey. Gotta love when your spares marry pudding faces and have bland looking babies.

Ri finally discovered IF potions, so time to make some fake friends turn real!

Camerupt: Here, drink this.

Paras: What is it? Looks kinda fishy…

Camerupt: Auntie Ri just gave it to me. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Paras: I feel really funny…what they heck was in that drink?…

Camerupt: I wonder if I can sell these and become a playboy billionaire…that would be the life…

Paras: Well that wasn’t too bad.

Purple hair and turquoise eyes. I like.

I think this was Tepig’s first brilliant work. Or maybe his first masterpiece? Either way, it’s very nice looking. Tepig does a lot of nature paintings. Not sure which trait makes him do that.

Ledyba: C’mon Sol, show me your game face!

Solrock: Grrr!

Ledyba: Haha, right on! If I’m gonna bring you into this world to be my spotter, you’re gonna need to get tough!

Solrock: You got it, boss!

Paras: What a bunch of meat heads…

What’s the matter, Tepig? Lost and confused?

Tepig: I’m just get the feeling that something’s not quite right with me.

I wonder why.

Altaria: You seem happy today, kid.

Charmander: I’m surrounded by my beautiful, supportive family who I love unconditionally 😀

Charmander: You’re rubbish at this game, twerp! Why don’t you hand the controller over to someone who actually knows how to play the damn game?!

Camerupt: Shut up, asshat. I’m trying to beat this freaking boss and you’re distracting me!

Altaria: Yupp, I can definitely feel the unconditional love.

Rachelle: You know, that rude child was right. I’m not as young as I used to be. Maybe I should get a face lift…

No plastic surgery for you!

I’ll leave you guys with a better picture of Cammy’s IF.

Paras: Could you leave me alone? I’m busy planning to rule the world!

…well good luck with that. For some reason, I didn’t write down any of her traits…odd.

Anyways, thanks for reading this chapter, and have a fantastic HUMP DAAAY! As always, happy Simming!

4.8: Hobbies. We Have Them.

Hey guys, I’m back with another chapter of the Kanto legacy! In the last chapter, we hosted a slumber party for all the neighborhood kids and got to meet some of our interesting spouse options for the generation. Also, Altaria and Jamie’s eldest child Tepig aged up into a teen. They grow up so fast! Let’s jump right into today’s chapter and see what hijinks will ensue!

We start off with the current youngest child of the generation, Ledyba, about to grow into a child.

Ledyba: Yay! That means more screentime!

She rolled daredevil. Yay, a new trait for this family!

Ledyba: ~sigh~ You people bore me…I wanna be where the action is!

All in due time, sweetie.

First, it’s time for your older brother to grow up.

Charmander: I get to actually flirt with girls now, don’t I?

I think you were already doing that in the last chapter.

Azurill: You remembered his birthday. And he gets a cake. I see how it is.

Charmander: Please let me become more interesting so readers will like me…

Charmie rolled natural cook, just like his great-grandma Gala. Wow, has it already been so long that she’s his great-grandmother? How the time flies…

Charmander: Can we get back to focusing on me? I just turned hot!

Yes yes, you’re very pretty. And I lied to you again. That is definitely Squirtle’s nose. It just looked way different on him as a kid than it did on Squirts. Which means he’s not a clone child! Huzzah!

Camerupt: I swear, if one more family member of mine ages up hot enough to steal my ladies away…

Ledyba: Big brother, did you know you’re not wearing any pants?

Charmander: Umm…

Please tell me she’s not another Tari…

Charmander: We haven’t talked in a while, cuz. How’s life? Enjoying teenhood?

Tepig: Quiet Charmie, I’m trying to write a very important memoir about being insane in even more insane places.

Charmander: That’s deep, bro.

Ledyba: CAAAAKKKEE.

Ledyba: Why do you get two pieces of cake, mother? That’s absolute rubbish!

Rachelle: Because I’m a frail old lady and my body needs the nutrients.

Jamie: If by nutrients, you mean calories you old hag.

The friendship between our spouses is very strong indeed.

I was supposed to show you this picture last chapter, but I forgot. This is Phillip Van Gold, the younger brother of Kurtis. Hopefully, this will be Ledyba’s future spouse prospect should she be chosen heiress.

This whole laziness thing didn’t fly with me when your father pulled it, so it sure isn’t gonna work now.

Much better.

Deoxys: I can’t wait until I’m a teenager and I can start making people beg me for mercy!

Tepig: Can’t focus…too many distractions…

Tepig: Much better…

I honestly have no idea why he was writing in the first place. Maybe I was fulfilling a wish?

Maid: Boo to the attractive teenager being too young for me!

It’s not like I’d give him to you anyways, nose lady. I’m so not letting those genetics into this family.

Deoxys: Hey, hey! I found something in the sky!

I’ve taken to naming her discoveries after Pokémon ships that I support. This was the first.

I sent our youngest kiddos to the graveyard to explore the catacombs since one is brave and the other is a daredevil.

Camerupt: Are you sure about this Ledyba? I don’t wanna get mauled by a bear or anything and mess up my gorgeous face.

Ledyba: Don’t be a wimp, Cammy! This is gonna be freaking awesome!

Camerupt: Grrr, that Leds…she dragged me here and just left me to die! Wait’ll I get my hands on her…where’d she go anyways?

In the comfort of your home, playing with her IF.

Ledyba: Solrock needed me to protect him. Things were getting too scary for his delicate temperament.

Some daredevil.

Tepig: What was I doing in here again?

Tepig: You distracted me! Now I can’t remember where I was going!

Tepig: I suppose it’s not your fault. I mean, it is your job to take pictures of me and everything…

Tepig: You’re rather quiet today. Normally this is where you’d make stupid comments like, “Ooo, look at me. I’m a Simmer and I can control you.”

How could I possibly make comments when I’m too busy enjoying the show?

Altaria: Isn’t our son the greatest, Jamie?

Jamie: He’s certainly something, hun.

Tepig: All hail the mighty Simmer who controls our pathetic existences and forces us to do her bidding.

Tepig: Well from now on I’m taking control of my own life! You are no longer in charge of my…of my…

Tepig: Wait, what does that say? Den…density?

Joe’s Ghost: That’s destiny, you nitwit! She’s no longer in control of our destiny!

Tepig: Oh, that makes sense.

I don’t think Joe likes me too much for letting him die before he completed his LTW. I thought Tepig was just insane, saying his ghost took control of his left hand, but maybe there’s some merit there…

I had Ri go around asking our teens what their gender preferences are.

Tepig likes men. No wonder none of the ladies at the party were making any progress with him.

What about Charmie?

Girls. Good, that means Blue Girl has a chance.

All these two every do is have sexy times.

I guess they have a reason for it.

Altaria: More babies please?

We’ll see. Although at this point the new baby would probably be too young to have a proper chance in the heir race.

Little miss evil is at it again.

Deoxys: The people I live with are such slobs…doesn’t anyone ever clean?

Rachelle: I got the magic in me 😀

She is so different as an elder…it’s odd…

Camerupt: So look Leds, I’m gonna forgive you for abandoning me at the graveyard like that if you let me pummel you with water balloons.

Ledyba: How noble of you.

In the spirit of maintaining the alliance they made as toddlers, she let him.

Ledyba: I’m gonna need a spotter someday when I do epic motorcycle stunts and stuff.

Charmander: So, I’m a witch. And witches ride on brooms. So that means I get my own broom someday, right? Just imagine me gliding around town impressing all the ladies.

Azurill: Is this kid for real?

Tepig: Can’t you just leave me alone to read for five seconds?

Fine, fine. I should stop giving this goofball all the screentime anyways.

Awww, Nowny’s an elder now! It’s crazy how much younger he was than the rest of Pewter gen.

Every true Kanto paints autonomously at least once in their life.

Ummm…Charmie? I think you have a problem there.

Charmander: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Charmander: Oh wait…holy plumbob I’M ON FIRE!!!

Charmander: HELP! SOMEBODY HELP! I’M GONNA DIE!!!

Nobody could be bothered to care about Charmie’s plight.

Fortunately, he managed to get to the shower in time to put himself out. Thank goodness.

Welp, that’s all I have for you today. Hope you enjoyed, and I hope to see you again soon for another chapter. As always, happy Simming!

4.7: Graveyard Slumber

Hey guys, I’m back! I can’t believe it’s been three months!!! I’m so sorry for the unexplained wait. Truthfully, I’ve been ready to write this for a very long time now, but I lost the notes I took for this chapter and I’ve been trying to find them. I gave up, meaning they’ll probably turn up now that I’m finally giving in and writing this sucker. I have four more days of school after this, and one final, and then I’m done with my first semester of college! Yay! I hope I can get myself around to uploading a few more chapters during my month off of school, but we’ll see how lazy I get, ne?

In the last chapter, we had several more birthdays. Rachelle grew into an elder, Azurill into a YA, and Camerupt became a child. Nothing else significant happened. What shenanigans will occur today? Let’s find out!

But first, one little announcement.

Promotion for Tari! She’s moving up very quickly in her career and I’m so proud of my first Kanto heiress, even if I don’t give her as much screentime as she deserves.

We start our chapter with our two favorite Cerulean spouses having a nice little chat.

Jamie: I am such a better spouse than you. I mean, look at me. I put out fires for a living. All you do is start them. In the snow.

Rachelle: Did you say something, dear? That portrait over there was just telling me the funniest story…

She’s going a bit senile in her old age.

Ri likes to literally throw herself into her work in her attempt to be the youngest Kanto ever to max a skill.

I bought a telescope for little miss evil, here. I thought it’d be a nice break from sitting around at a chess table all day. I don’t think you’re gonna see anything in broad daylight though, hun.

Deoxys: I may not see starts, but there’s some pretty funky stuff going on in our neighbors’ bedroom window right now…

…Perhaps a confiscation is in order?

I don’t think I trust old lady Shelley with magic…just look at that crazy expression on her face…

Rachelle: Bippity Boppity Boo!

I’ll just leave you to it then…

The kids wanted a sleepover party, so I let Tepig do the honors of inviting every kid and teen in the neighborhood since he’s having a birthday tomorrow morning!

Tepig: No, you don’t know me. But I’m throwing a cray cray party tonight and you should totally come. The voice in my head told me it’s gonna be legit!

Poor Ledyba isn’t quite old enough to party yet, but I don’t think she minds too much.

Ledyba: I shall play for them my magical tunes of whimsy 😀

Rachelle: And that’s why I never fly in an airplane. Remember that while you throw your crazy party tonight, kiddo. We wouldn’t want any accidents.

Tepig: This lady’s even more cray than my party’s gonna be…

You might wanna come inside, Charmie. The guests are about to start flooding in.

Charmander: Just let me put the finishing touches on my latest masterpiece and I’ll be right in.

This is where my notes would’ve come in handy. I had all their names written down so this section wouldn’t have been a bunch of “green girl” or “blue boy.” Unfortunately…

Green Girl was the first to arrive to the party.

Green Girl: I came for sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. You seem to be lacking in all these departments.

She was followed closely by Blue Girl, who is by far my favorite. She’s too cute and one of my spares is definitely marrying her ❤

Blue Girl: I’m down with that.

Purple Boy has potential. At least he has the right skin color for next generation.

Purple Boy: I live to please.

Herbert Van Gold showed up. Without his son…this was supposed to be an opportunity for Deo to meet her possible future husband!

Herbert: I had to make sure this place was suitable for my dear son.

You’ve already been here, smarty pants. You know it’s fine!

Blue Girl: That crazy little Kanto boy is soooo cute! I like my men a little insane in the brain. *swoon swoon*

I’ll call this one Bun Girl.

Bun Girl: I resent that. I’m more than just my hairdo!

More people arrive, including potentially an alien. And do my eyes deceive me? It’s Kurtis!!! *swoon swoon*

Charmander: I’m done inventing now. What’d I miss?

Green Girl: You know what you are, kid? A broken umbrella! A struggling artist! A revolutionary! I read this book once, and this other kid was just like you and he turned out a hunk, so I know you’re gonna turn out a hunk too!

Tepig: Why are all these older women hitting on me?…

Herbert: Get used to it, kid. They just don’t understand that we’re not interested in their kind…

Rachelle: What have YOU to say on broken umbrellas, boy?

Purple Boy: Umm…I just came in here for food…

Shelley, stop scaring our guests!

Bun Girl: Oh…you just went there…

Curly Hair: Went where? Wonderland? I’ve been there, it’s quite peculiar. Care to go together sometime?

Bun Girl: *hate hate hate*

Hey, it’s a Kanto spare offspring! This is Derik, the child of Phione and Shinx.

Derik: You mean I could’ve been living here? I was born in the wrong branch of this family…what a rip off…

Why you no go inside house, Kurtis?

Kurtis: Have you seen all those children in there? I’d rather not risk getting infected by their grubby little child hands…

Well that’s certainly a trait we haven’t had in this legacy. What an interesting legacy father you’d make…

Kurtis: …definitely never stepping foot inside that house…

Herbert: This is a lovely house you have, ma’am. My son will move in posthaste. Your Simmer will be delighted, I’m sure.

Rachelle: Meh. I’ve seen hotter ghost babes.

Poor Suzanna, the Kyovan offspring, just missed getting invited to the party. She aged up right after it started.

The children are having so much fun, see? Standing. Doing nothing. Fun times.

Derik and Curly Hair: We are so happy to be here 😀

Alien Kid: I want my mommy!!!

At least some of us are having fun.

Charmander: Baby, you shine brighter than a shooting star.

Blue Girl: Oh really?…

Blue Girl: Cause, you know, I’m really into all that astrology stuff…

Charmander: You mean astronomy, right?

Blue Girl: Right, right. And my horoscope readings said I’d find a boy who’s really into constellations and space and stuff and that I’d marry that boy. And since you compared me to a star, that must be you. Right?

Charmander: Ummm….yes?

Looks like Charmie found himself a girlfriend ^.^

Charmie’s not the only one getting his groove on though.

Camerupt: Baby, this party is garbage. What do you say we blow this popsicle stand and find where the real action is.

Curly Hair: I beg your pardon?

Camerupt: I got Ice Capades. I know a guy.

What a heartthrob. Who could refuse such an offer?

Not like Deo’s having much more luck in love than her cousin.

Kurtis: Hello, little boy. Could you please leave me the hell alone? I’m not coming inside with you, if that’s what you’re thinking.

Deoxys: Oh my plumbob, it’s him…he’s even more handsome than I pictured…but he called me a boy…I’ll get him for that when we’re married, mark my words! He’ll pay…mwahahaha!!!

Kurtis: Could you stop evilly laughing to yourself? It’s kinda creeping me out…

After all the excitement of the day, the children decide to settle down and get some well deserved rest in the most comfortable place you could find.

In the morning, despite standing around for hours doing nothing but listening to the Kantos’ crazy ranting, the guests left the party feeling very fulfilled. I’d consider that a success!

But wait…there’s more!

Tepig: BIRTHDAY.

Although the family really couldn’t be bothered to care. Except perpetually happy Charmie.

Charmander: Yay! You go, cousin!

Tepig: I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart. Or to fix my fingers, that’d be nice too.

Woah. Someone’s giving Steelix and Squirtle a run for their money for the most attractive Kanto award. This handsome devil rolled bookworm.

Tepig: Why no dragons? 😦

Cammy was not thrilled by his brother’s transformation.

Camerupt: He’s gonna steal all my ladies!

Somehow, I don’t think that’ll be an issue.

I decided to cheer the poor kid up anyways.

Paras: Greetings world and all who inhabit it. I wish to rule you!

Camerupt: Welcome to the world, Paras! First thing you’ve gotta learn is that red is the primary color here. Not only is it the color of my generation, but it’s the color of my burning love for you and all the other ladies of the world.

Paras: First thing to dominate…this womanizer.

Tepig: And y’all think I’m the crazy one…

Before we close this chapter, here are a few toddlers to introduce you to. This Kyovan twin is Ginger.

And this one is Judy. They have slightly different skin tones, but otherwise they’re clones of each other. And of Kyo-kun.

Finally, this is Phione’s third child, Robyn. She’s properly adorable and my favorite of the Cerulean spares’ offspring so far.

Welp, that’s all I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed this diversion from the typical structure of “Kantos doing nothing” that I usually present. I thought it’d be fun to get to know some of the neighborhood kids a little more, seeing as how some of them might marry spares someday. Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope to see you again soon in a new chapter! If I don’t, then I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! And as always, happy Simming!
