[Caramell 🍬]

Link to Post: Scouring the Route (mod)
Nominating: AshenPhoenix

Reason: Hilarious and on point follow up for the intro'd Spearow. I loved reading the squawking bird angrily trying its hardest to defend "everything" it thinks belongs to it.

Link to Post: It was a Dark and Stormfuld Night
Nominating: Tarlar

Reason: I love the complexity of the moment as Aglaia struggles with the notion of one day settling down and becoming a parent like most are expected to, only to realize that might not be what she personally wants out of life.

---

Incentive: Coins (30)

Link to Post: O'er the Roadless Path
Nominating: Jenesis

Reason: I love the trainer-pokemon bonding moment Trixie has with her Houndour as she tries to understand why it's behaving the way it is, and also the realness of Nurse Joy being unnerved by the Dark Type regardless if she IS a nurse and if she believes she does trust Trixie.

Incentive: Coins (30)

Link to Post: Here We Go
Nominating: khalani

Reason: Its a really sweet read and you can already see the bond Ua has with her trainer as she explains to the wild Wurmple how caring Khalani is and how she works with her Pokemon as equals in battles and life.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! (for your support, and also for not forgetting me while I was gone most of the month 😂)

I’m so glad to be part of such a welcoming and creative community! Special shout-out to all the mods who have gotten me this far by answering my millions of questions and making every adventure exciting and interesting 😁 

I’ll take the Breeder bundle with the 3K cash and a Fighting-type egg (in hopes that it will someday annihilate Whitney’s Miltank). 🙏

Link to Post: We Can Dig It
Nominating: Steph

Reason: Can we truly ever get enough of Daisy? I just love how authentically child-like she is in every situation. XD And especiallg here, trying not to be a "twerp" by basically being exactly that to the grunt xD

---

Incentive: Coins (+30 - Updating!)

Link to Post: Pageant Queens and Big Pretenders
Nominating: Vay

Reason: Honestly, I just love how realistic Eden's response to the old woman were. It's refreshing to see characters who are truly human. Sometimes someone says something and even if they don't mean to be rude/mean, their comments still sting or upset you. Eden didn't just ignore it - she rightfully snapped back, clearly demonstrating that the comments were unwarranted.

Incentive: Coins (+30 - Updating!)

Link to Post: A Shocking Debut! Rock On, Team Toxic!
Nominating: Venominon

Reason: If there's any post that embodies what ZapdosZulu should be, this should definitely be a strong contender for that spot. After everything the Alolan Geodude has been through with its previous trainer, Venom is willing to step in and not only risk any possible repercussions to teach the humans that harmed it a lesson, but also offer to find it a home to show it what a caring, loving trainer it like. It's tragic that the very next mod after ended the way it did, honestly.

Incentive: Coins (+30 - Updating!)

Link to Post: On the Tailwind of New Beginnings
Nominating: redridinghood

Reason: I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING! This is such a freaking beautiful post and all the hope and positivity that Skye tries to have despite such a difficult moment, and difficult question...GAH! He handles it absolutely beautifully! I love it but also wanna cry, it's so well written. Seriously. READ THIS ya'll!

[Professor Oak]

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/302245
Nominating: Tarlar

Incentive: money

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/302278
Nominating: tybaxel

Reason: Tybaxel effectively conveys Sloane's initial excitement and then her immediate focus on the task at hand when she hears the woman's cries. Starting to see Sloane's resourceful nature and ability to think on her feet.

Incentive: money

---

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/302629
Nominating: Pixel

Reason: Pixel effectively describes Silas's frustration and scepticism about the mission and his potential partner.
Love the use of humour, such as Silas's speculation about Mitzi's identity, which adds depth to the character and engages the reader.

Incentive: money

---

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/302664
Nominating: Caramell 🍬

Reason: Really enjoy the richness and depth behind Caribes' thoughts and portrayal of Azalea through their eyes. Looking forward to their interaction with Silas and how they go about completing the mission together as two characters that don't naturally get along with others.

Incentive: money

Self-updating $1700 (35,637 to 37337)

[Jenesis]

Link to Post: A Test of Courage and Trust
