Ok , maybe that enthusiasm was unwarranted, mostly because the main thing I learned was pokemon evolution is boring! Seriously, the main thing evolution does is make your pokemon bigger, give them a metallic coating, extra limbs or in a few cases a conjoined clone of themselves. Nothing really revolutionary.
However, considering in your quest to be the best, like no one ever was, you force your beloved pokemon to ingest several strange medicines and dubious powders. Surely some of those would force them down some kind of evolutionary dead end, right?
Oddly enough the only pokemon I could find like that is Polliwag. Ostensibly a tadpole, one would assume Polliwag would grow into a frog like Pokemon. Instead it balloons into a giant, aggressive blue monstrosity that is somewhere in between a tadpole and a frog. Ironically, it is only by tapping into the eldritch powers of a mysterious rock that you can indunce the seemingly more natural transformation of tadpole into a frog
Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
Coors Light Summer Brew: This summer shandy begins this list, it's a mix of lemon, lime and orange. While this is by no means a craft beer, it still has it place as a refreshing summer brew to enjoy.
Who said working on your summer bod has to stop when summer starts? In SoCal there are hundreds of gorgeous hiking trails in the mountains or on the cliffs overlooking the beach, so maintaining your summer bod is easy on the eyes and a lot less of a drag!
We're lucky enough to live in paradise and we don't take that for granted. We take advantage of our sunsets on the beach and backyard staycation without spending a pretty penny on visiting somewhere that isn't nearly as perfect as SoCal. We're pretty spoiled.
Sometimes you can't think of the perfect caption for your Instagram post. I love using lyrics as my captions because there's so many great lines in songs that just seem to fit in the moment. Here are some lyrics that could work for your selfie or pictures of you with your friends!
Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
Here are a few of Bruce Springsteen's most memorable song lyrics because whether you're a die hard fan who named your dog after the man (I totally did that) or you have other opinions, you have to admit that some of his lyrics are on point:
Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
My name is Aron Blackthorn, a member of the esteemed Blackthorn family, and I now find myself in the enigmatic embrace of the Pokmon universe for the second time. Curiously, my current existence has not only allowed me to traverse the boundless expanse of this realm but also to reminisce about events yet to unfold.
In this renewed sojourn into the world of Pokmon, my initial encounter was nothing short of exhilarating. Armed with the knowledge and insights from my former life, I embarked on an extraordinary odyssey, climbing to the zenith of the Pokmon hierarchy. Accompanied by steadfast companions, we roamed the globe, seizing every moment to savor life's most electrifying adventures. Nevertheless, much like life on Earth, my journey in this newfound world was a symphony of highs and lows.
Regrettably, history has an eerie habit of repeating itself. In this incarnation, humans once again emerged as the architects of discord, mirroring the sinister patterns that had once tainted Earth. As they relentlessly pillaged the Pokmon universe, their insatiable greed knew no bounds. Uniquely, in this world, humans could extend their lives using aura-infused natural treasures and advanced technology, but this gift only fueled their insatiable desires. Centuries passed, and conflicts escalated until the world was ravaged by an all-encompassing war between humans and Pokmon.
The aftermath of this cataclysmic war left both human and Pokmon societies in disarray. Once-mighty cities lay in ruin, landscapes were scarred by the unforgiving hand of battle, and the once-harmonious relationship between humanity and Pokmon lay shattered, leaving a trail of desolation in its wake. As I reminisce about these events yet to transpire, I bear the weight of an uncertain future, uncertain of the path that lies ahead.
In the annals of this war, I, Aron Blackthorn, stood as a beacon of resolve, leading from the front lines with unwavering determination. With each battle, my conviction grew stronger, knowing that it was our duty to steer humanity toward a more virtuous path. The Blackthorn family, renowned for its unyielding commitment to justice, fought with a ferocity that could rival even the most formidable Pokmon. We clung to our principles, battling with valor and sacrificing much in the name of a reconciled world.
Yet, as the war raged on, the shadow of treachery cast its grim pall. Betrayals emerged from within the ranks of humanity, where the lust for power and dominance blurred the lines of morality. Some succumbed to the allure of corruption, casting aside their comrades for the chance to wield unchecked authority. The poison of cowardice seeped into the hearts of those who feared the repercussions of their actions, abandoning the cause they once professed to support.
And then a glimmer of hope pierced through the darkness. The mythical Pokmon, beings of unparalleled might, chose to intervene. Their arrival turned the tide of battle, but not in the way we had anticipated. Instead of aligning with the human forces, they forged an alliance with the Pokmon, revealing their unwavering dedication to the preservation of this world.
The Pokmon that bonded with humans, including the ones I had come to know as friends and allies, were no match for the overwhelming might of the mythical. In a series of devastating clashes, they were wiped out, leaving humanity in a state of disarray. The bond that had once united humans and Pokmon lay in ruins, and I, too, met an untimely end in the final war, which I remember vividly.
The skies continued to seethe with fierce confrontation as me and my indomitable Tyranitar stood resolute in the face of the celestial guardian, Ho-Oh. This battle, a cataclysmic struggle of unparalleled proportions, would determine the destiny of humanity and Pokmon.
Ho-Oh soared above, wings ablaze with divine light, and its melodious cry echoed with celestial authority, summoning the sacred flames that rained down upon Tyranitar in a blaze of ethereal power. The earth quaked as each impact sent tremors through the battlefield.
Tyranitar, a colossal titan of power, nimbly evaded the cascading flames. With every graceful dodge, it retaliated with Stone Edge, sending enormous, razor-sharp boulders soaring toward Ho-Oh. The sky rumbled as the projectiles connected, creating shockwaves that shattered the heavens.
Ho-Oh, unyielding and majestic, elegantly danced through the skies, responding with a deluge of aerobatics that became a deadly tempest. Tyranitar bore the assault with unwavering determination, the fires of its spirit unquenched.
The battle intensified, and the battlefield became a tumultuous storm of ferocity. Tyranitar's formidable Crunch clashed with Ho-Oh's Brave Bird, an exchange that shattered the sound barrier, sparks of energy crackling with each collision.
My voice, resolute in its command, reverberated through the battlefield. Tyranitar's energy surged, culminating in a cataclysmic hyper beam. The resounding blast unleashed shockwaves that rippled through the atmosphere, pushing Ho-Oh to the brink of exhaustion.
Yet Ho-Oh was a guardian of unyielding will. It invoked its divine powers, summoning a heavenly rain that bathed the battlefield. The rejuvenating waters restored Ho-Oh's vitality, and it remained steadfast.
As the battle reached its zenith, Tyranitar summoned an earth-shattering earthquake, causing the very ground to tremble. Fissures spread outward, and the battlefield crumbled beneath the power of nature. Ho-Oh faltered, attempting to regain its balance.
But in the final, decisive moment, Tyranitar's Giga Impact was met by Ho-Oh's Divine Shield. A cataclysmic explosion of energy engulfed the battlefield, with the heavens and earth bearing witness to the cosmic collision.
With a resounding burst of radiant energy, Tyranitar and I were enveloped in celestial light, consumed by the culmination of the battle. In that poignant moment, we were both spirited away, sacrificing our existence to protect what remained of the world.
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence. Ho-Oh, the victor of the battle, watched with a solemn gaze. The earth was scarred, the heavens somber, and humanity and Pokmon alike were left to ponder the cost of the struggle.
In my first life as Aron Blackthorn, my journey in the Pokmon world was far from ordinary. I dedicated my existence to understanding the intricate bond between humans and Pokmon. It was a quest born out of a profound belief in unity and the aspiration to nurture a world where both species could coexist in harmony.
