Wasn't originally going to repost this. . . But it's got way, wa-a-a-a-a-ay fewer favorites than it deserves as of my reposting, so please, do go to  FlowerHead's gallery and favorite the original here instead.

Tera: "Um. . . Zorua?"

Zorua: "Who?" *looks around* "No Zoruas here. Just Oshawotts."

Tera: "I don't think that's how your Illusion ability is supposed to work. Not that I don't appreciate a video game reference that won't be horribly dated within two years." *shoots an evil glare at 'Ralph Breaks the Internet'*

Also, since it's pretty much completely out of the bag at this point: Yes, Oshawott is the one pokemon Ray had when I took him in. I'd meant to keep that a secret until he was more at ease with his new environment, but then again, if one of his poke-siblings is behaving like a member of his team, I guess that's evidence enough that the transition is, at the very least, well under way.
