My Stoutland Was My First Pokmon. I Found Him Abandoned Behind The Snack Shack At A Pool Near Where I

My Stoutland was my first Pokémon. I found him abandoned behind the snack shack at a pool near where I lived, and he just started following me around.

He was already chipped when I finally got the allowance to catch him, but he’d been abandoned for about half a year by that point, so we never looked into it too deep.

Aight, I want to ask something to Rotomblr 'cause I'm actually curious.

How many of y'all had an actual, Prof-given starter, and how many just... got a random wild one?

That Bewear sounds like an interesting fella!

My most interesting training stories are my Stoutland partner and one of the Tauros brothers, specifically Sweetie.

Stoutland took a bit to get used to being handled in any way other than a lapdog, but once I got him into the idea of helping herd the Doduo, he took to letting me ride pretty quick.

Sweetie took a lot of work, since he seems to have had a bit of trauma before joining my ranch. He’s still a bit skittish around new folks, but if you give him scratches under his chin, he’ll just melt into your hands and be easier to handle than anything else.

Howdy!

Never have I ever trained a riding Pokémon.

If you’ve got a story to tell, I’ll tell mine after!

Oh I've trained a few! Tauros, Stoutland, Cyclizar, Farigiraf, one oddly enthusiastic Bewear..... Honestly, I couldn't give you the full count! :D

A spooked Doduo but my left pinky off a little over a year ago.

Seeing so many wholesome rb games

Heya! How is your mudscale doin'? Heard that he was getting in a bit of trouble and feeling alone lately!

(- @pokemonranch)

He’s doing well!

I’ve been spending the last few days giving him some TLC and making sure that he knows I love him. Stoutland’s been cuddling up with him at night too, since I asked him to help spend more time around the big lug.

He still likes collecting my neighbor’s free roaming Pokémon, but I need to have a talk with them about that… the Pokémon seem fine with Mudsdale grooming them and being protective, but they already have homes and some of the neighbors have gotten mad that I haven’t immediately brought them back, so I’m still on the hunt for a few permanent herd mates for him.
