#ask:Bell

Nothing against Zoruas, they're just, not locally available.
PV asks: "What are your thoughts on the Zorua evolution line?" Bell responds: "They're neat. I remember in high school there was a rumor going around that N was secretly a Zoroark, but my friend Kieran always insisted that there aren't Zoroarks in Unova. Maybe he was from Paldea, Kieran" Below is a picture of a zorua with some of N's accessories, and N's hairstyle, sans the ponytail

It would have been less of a hassle if I wasn't also a part of Asher's team, but there's a good chance that at some point I'll faint, and Asher needs to handle things while I'm indisposed.

#ask:Bell
Asher the growlithe gently nudges a pokéball towards a big titty pokemon center lady, as an off panel Bell answers a question: kurokage asks: "Okay but wait. Hol' up. I am. VERY curious as to how a growlithe registers as a trainer and a human gets logged as a pokemon" Bell responds: "This is something Professor Aspen helped us do. To get approved for the gym challenge, Asher had to show a clear ability to perform the basic duties of a trainer without my help: catching pokémon, using items, using pokéballs, getting pokémon healed, etc. For me to get approved for fighting in battles, I had to demonstrate an ability to use moves and actually battle."

You are free to ask Asher questions, but they ARE a pokémon. I'm going to start tagging these, so you can look up answers by who's answering.

Dapper~Blueberries asks: "What's your favorite thing so far as a pokemon trainer?" Asher the Growlithe is excited to answer, as Bell tries to translate from off screen: "*Grow! Aurf Rrrou!*" "Is it leading the battles?" "*Rou!*" "Catching Pokémon?" "*Rouf!!!*" "Is it the training?" "*RLI!*" "Now? uh, *AAUUUUUUUU!*" Bell used Howl! Bell's Attack rose! "*Bow!*" "Oh. Asher's favorite thing was teaching me howl." "*Bow!*"

Maybe I should have started at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start.
Bell answering two questions: "Where did Bell and Asher meet?" and "So first of all, Bell is adorable. But I think the obvious question is how did she wind up in this situation?" Bell says "These are related, so: Asher is my growlithe, I originally just had them as a pet, but when my friend suggested we do the gym challenge, Asher was very excited for it." which is accompanied by a doodle of a happy Bell and Asher She continues: "To celebrate starting our gym challenge together, my friend and I had a Pokémon battle... and I choked really hard. I didn't want Asher to get hurt, but they just got hurt more for it." accompanying the commentary with a picture of her crying as an eevee tackles Asher, and a green haired person looking on in disgust. finally: "Not giving up, I decided to train with Asher against wild pokémon. But they got frustrated with me, and started pushing me in to do the battle; Barking, and mimicking a tackle until I did it too. That fight ended with me and the wild Patrat tackling into each other, before the Patrat fled. After that fight, I tried asking Asher yes or no questions to figure out what they were trying to do: they wanted to be the trainer, and wanted me to try battling." accompanying the commentary is a pic of bell and a patrat tackling each other at once.

Answering a few questions in one go!
Bell is holding up a mirror, to show off the rotom phone who is filming her, while the growlithe asher sleeps in the background. From Pizzie: "Do you have a typing Bell?" "We're assuming fighting for now. Rotom is gathering information from battles, so the professor can analyze the power of my moves, and how reslient I am to different types of attack." From Mox: "What's Bell's signature move?" "I don't have one! I only know a few common moves right now: Tackle, Tail Whip, and Howl." from Evina Galad: "I have to ask who's who" "I'm Bell, the human. The Growlithe is Asher." There are also labels marking the human as Bell, and the growlithe as Asher.

Got a question before we could even start the blog, but might as well answer it right away.
a sentret looking curiously at the camera. above it, two dialogue boxes are talking. sans asks: "OK BUT THEN. WHAT'S THE OTHER POKEBALL OBVIOUSLY ONE IS BELL'S" and Bell replies "That's Asher's second pokémon, Sentret."

As part of our deal with the Professor Aspen, we're keeping a blog to catalogue our gym challenge progress, and answer any questions people might have!
A black haired human woman with grey eyes, wearing a cropped black denim jacket and matching shorts, with a pokeball hooked onto a belt loop. she has a patch that says "battle legal". on her shoulder is a growlithe with two pokeballs attached to their collar, and a blue scarf on their right forepaw. The two of them are talking "Hello! I'm bell, and this-" "Growr!" "-is Asher, my trainer"
