🐉 Annie 🌟

- You missed all your shots, and you've left yourself open for an attack. So dare I say that's... CHECKMATE! - #PTRP

[yeah so I might've lied when I said I'd be more active once I've figured out these lore rewrites] [This place is dead as hell, y'all can find me over on BlueSky whenever I can be bothered to set up accounts over there] [In the meantime you can find me at @/Kazzy_Lmao]

[still here, still working on those lore changes] [... Really I'm only back to see if this community's become more active because of the Z-A trailer. Seems about the same as last time I checked]

[remembering February 7th is supposed to be Annie's birthday while I'm out here rebooting their lore] [... I mean they're 17 when Rejuvenation starts so there's that]

"I mean it makes sense. No sun means less warmth."

[okay, so, still planning out lore rewrites and stuff] [But here's Annie's redesign for the time being. I'll draw them again later]

[just gotta iron out a few issues with my plans and then stuff's going down :3]

[greetings from 2025, homies] [Ain't planning anything major this year, just gonna do what I always do]

"I mean, my intention is just to help them realise they need to train."

"Honestly I think more people should learn to play chess. Gives me more opponents to scare off."

"A predictable move, but not a bad one by any means. Always good to have spares."

"I... I don't actually remember. All I know is I woke up in a hospital and was told I would've been dead if she didn't find me."

"I don't remember saying she was a Dragon trainer. I said Dark." [Author's note: mistakes happen, don't worry about it] "... Anyway, the reason we became friends in the first place was because she saved my life a few years ago."

"The chess gimmick is just for gym battles, really. My main battling team is a lot more weather focused. Rain, sun and sandstorms." Might need to add a hail user at some point. "... I may be the dragon expert here, but I'm not sure if any would actually benefit from hail."

"I mean, I used Rapidash for the Knight. Just because that's what the piece is shaped like." "And then you've got Orbeetle as the Rook. I don't even have a justification there."

"The worst part is I picked out my team based on each of the six main chess pieces. Couldn't find a Psychic type who made sense as the King, so I ended up with a Kingambit filling that role."

"Wish more gym leaders were like that- Well, I guess I'm /kinda/ like that." "Dragon is my signature type, but I'm a Psychic gym leader. Mostly because Dragon didn't really fit the chess gimmick."

"You know what magicians are like. Trickery is one of their main gimmicks." "She tricks you into thinking she's a Psychic trainer so you're caught off-guard when she sends out a team of Dark types."

"... Ah, you've already met Gabby? Not all that surprised really." Awkward laughter. They're not sure what they meant by that. "Fairly certain the whole reason she shows off her psychic powers like that is so people don't realise she's a Dark trainer."
