570: Zorua

Zorua seems like the most stuck up pokemon ever, it looks as though it gets everything it wants and cares only for itself. And, like many other pokemon, its shiny version is pretty cool.

Zorua, shiny version

And with its stats in the games... defense isn't that great, but the attack stats make up for it, though you wouldn't want to be up against a more powerful pokemon, or just a pokemon with a greater speed than yours.

In the movie: Zoroark: master of illusions

Zorua is a dark type pokemon, so is strong against psychic and ghost, but weak against fighting and bug pokemon.

And being a fifth gen pokemon, you can only get it in black and white, and, soon, black 2 and white 2. You can only get it through an event or trading with someone else. You can have Zorua eggs, so it isn't a complete waste for everyone.
Zorua can learn some decent moves, so it isn't completely useless, though isn't the best to have in the trading card games, only good to have against psychic pokemon.

Zorua does evolve into Zoroark at level 30 in the games, then its stats, as usual, get better.

As a pokemon, it is very irritating, it speaks into your mind, and in the anime, it has the most annoying voice. It does, however, transform, but, when hit by an attack that does damage, changes back, so not the best pokemon to have in your party, unless you know that you are going to get through the battle easily with it, and if not, get a better pokemon, or wait for it to evolve and it might be better then.

Holiday Guide to Wuhu Island

Wuhu Island

Your Holiday Guide to some of the Best Sights on the Island

(though they all are pretty amazing)

Come and visit Wuhu island, it isn't far away. During the day, the sun shines and brings joy to all the residents. At night the moon shines over the island, the lights coming from all over the island causes it to glow, an unmissable sight, and something that will warm your heart. Get away from the world with the five star hotel and everywhere is easy to access with roads, the volcano giving the whole place character. A whole island devoted to golf. Bowling alleys, all day running and cycling activities. There are hidden images on the walls of the main running courses, can you find them all? Animals allowed, so even the complete family can enjoy the island from your dreams. The possibilities are endless on this island, the joy you will feel will last forever, and you will feel younger and have more energy than ever before.

Here is one of the two castles which just built itself mysteriously overnight, located on the Spacious Desert Island. It is said that it was built for an unknown person, who someone knows, of course, they have to be seen at some point, they have to eat, but no one knows who this mysterious person it, maybe an alien, or maybe the castle was always here, and no one had ever noticed it, and then everyone woke up one morning and it had become visible, scientists are not trying to solve the mystery, they are more concerned with the random gusts of wind that appear when you are hand gliding (these are completely safe)
There are three opinions on this castle which we asked locals and visitors:
"There was this girl, her name unknown, and some of the more mysterious people of Wuhu Island built it for her, she likes to fly all over the island."
"Seeing the sunset on that island is beautiful, it is very romantic, I remember the first time I went out there with him other there, it is a night I'll never forget, I would recommend people to visit that island, definitely."
"The view is brilliant, especially watching the fireworks at night, it is even more amazing under a full moon!"
There is a mystery and amazing sights, when you visit the island, it is definitely a place to visit.

Here you will see the Red Gate bridge, connecting the pain village to the hotel, the bridge itself is something to walk, cycle or even drive across, everyone that comes to the island goes across the bridge, and it is amazing all times of the day.
Here is what some locals and visitors had to say about the bridge:
"It is a famous Wuhu landmark, linking the hotel to the rest of the island, it has shown great appreciation to locals and visitors!"
"The evening sun is dazzling for cars heading into town."
"I once flew through it, not a good idea unless you are a highly skilled pilot, the cables just get in the way, which is very inconsiderate of them if you ask me. There are people who would be willing to teach you to fly."

This is the all famous volcano Mt Tenganamanga,  its altitude is just over 500m and the view, from flying above it, is unbelievable, you just have to believe it. It has made the island what it is and if it were just to walk away (this is very unlikely to happen, so when you visit, it will still be there) the island will not be the island we know and love today.
This is what people had to say about it:
"The pools of lava bubble all year round, just thinking about it makes me warm up."
"It is rather unusual, it has a hollow center. That mysterious castle, I believe, was built for the person who was brave enough to fly up and down it into the center of the volcano, she came out alive, and soon after that, the castle appeared, the two events must be linked."
"It is an active volcano, but it hasn't erupted for 200 years. There is no sign of dangerous activity, so should be safe for a very long time, so we all should be safe, and going to anywhere with an active volcano is always dangerous, it just makes it more fun."

The lighthouse is white, never forget that, it is very important to know, especially if someone asks you, it makes all the difference, and look, the sky is blue, that is an important fact you need to know, those are the only two facts you need to know, so, as long as you revise and memorize this, your stay at Wuhu Island will be even better.
The lighthouse it very important for ships to find their way to the island with ease at night when it is dark. It has been named, The Giant Candle, and you can blame them, it is a giant candle, but it won't burn the island away.
Here is what some people have to say:
"As it turns out, the lighthouse was mistakenly built at twice the planned size, that is why it is called the 'Giant' Candle."
"Some people will say that it was planned to look like a candle, I know it is a myth, I was one of the designers, and it was never even thought of to look like a candle until after it was built, we had to change the name as well because it was so big."
"The lighthouse produces as much light as 1,600,000 candles, now isn't that interesting, that is one giant candle!"

The Seaside hotel is the place you'll be staying on the main island, this is where it all starts out. The hold activities for people, they have lots of space and everyone is friendly. The food is the best you'll ever have and they have so much information on what goes on around the island, you'll wish you remembered to pack your reading glasses.
This is what people said about the hotel:
"It is a high quality hotel. The seaside hotel also does brilliant food, unfortunately, they do not accept food coupons."
"They offer an evening bike ride where a group of people cycle with each other, no matter their ability on a bike, this activity is always popular, I went on it, and I enjoyed the whole thing!"
"Here they have warm, comfortable beds, waiting there for you after a fun packed day on the island"

The lakeside castle is a key tourist attraction here on Wuhu Island. It has a little bridge going over the river and into the castle, it also has a small back door where you can walk into or out of the back and continue your little jog and sight see at the same time.
It sits on the Duckling Lake which goes down into the Shrieking Falls.
This is what residents and guests had to say about the castle.
"It may be difficult to reach, but the view from the castle is amazing, something you can only understand when you see it, no description, nor any image and describe the full beauty of it."
"At sunset, the sunset is a beautiful, but the sun is a bit dazzling, that is what makes the difficult climb so worth while."
"It has high walls, so unfortunately, it isn't the most ideal place to watch fireworks, but walking down from it at night is just stunning, indescribable."

the banana effect

Our language is far to difficult to understand in most cases, too many words sounding the same but meaning different things, especially affect and effect, far too complicated to understand, and to use.


Effect is the noun, meaning something that is produced by a cause, for example, the heat gave the effect of a thousand small fires burning in the horizon


Affect is the verb, meaning to produce an effect or change, for example, the dark room affected the growth of the plant.




So, affect is the verb, so you are effecting something, and the effect is the noun, which is the product of the affect you cause.

Super Food

Because I am clever...


(b)Rice and pasta are rivalling potatoes in popularity, however, they often lack interest. Discuss ways in which rice and pasta can be made more appealing.
Cook them with potatoes to make a super race of food, this could bring up interest, then the US government would take it away and experiment on this food like in the subway advert, but with dumber people.


Later on...


(b)Evaluate the importance of good customer care when serving food.
Be nice, but not too nice as that would be suspicious, and then the rice/pasta and potato super race of food will be destroyed, the USA would get suspicious and start a war with rice and pasta, resulting in making them more interesting.

Potatoes are interesting, and you want to make rice and pasta more interesting, so why not mix them together, and they must make a super race of food.

This is what will be so amazing that it will have to be experimented on...

Happiness in Death

It was a cold morning, a cold day, and an even colder evening. Everything changed that day, for the worse. It was only then when she realized that no one cared about her, only the fact that she had an amazing sister. That was the only reason people spoke to her, and now her sister died in a car accident, when she most needed it, no one was there for her. No one, she sat in tears at school, the week after the crash.
It was the morning, and nothing was good. She had to work with the people she considered friends, until she decided to walk out, there was no point after all. Her sister was the only reason that she could carry on with life, and, now having died, there was nothing left for her.
Her mind was flooded in thoughts, no one tried to stop her, and it felt like no one even noticed her leave. As though a ghost, dead, someone who no one cares about, no one looking for her, just walked through the door, and nothing had changed. Not even the people she was working with noticed. 
She was very good at avoiding people, and knew all the places to hide, after all, she had done this many times before, and this time, like all the others, she couldn't be found.
The corridors were silent, no sign of life was present, it was like the world had run away from her, and there would be no one to help her.
It wasn't until after the lunch break did she decide to go back to her lesson, maybe fifteen minutes late, but no one saw her come in or sit down, she just started to draw. She was the best at art in the school, and always drew the most creative things, even when they had a dark feeling to them.
Today, she sat on her own, no one came to speak to her, the only thing she could do was text her mum, 'help' so she would pick her up from school.


It was as though her whole world changed in just one minute. As she left school, she began to think that there was nothing worth living for. The evening continued this, normally she would have a 'friend' come over, not this time though, it was as though there was plague in the house, and she had caught it.
Nothing went well the next three weeks, continuing the same pattern, she was unwanted, unloved, and there was no one she could talk to.
During art, she had finished her new project that week, naming it, 'Happiness in Death', of course no one would care, it was a message though, a message no one would get until it was too late.
She began listing the things she could do in her future, her art was good, but it wouldn't get her far, and she isn't brilliant with much else. There wasn't really anything she could do. There was nothing left to look forward to, her mum was due to die anytime in the next few months, her condition was getting much worse, and her dad died in the army when she was seven. So no family left, no friends, there was no one who world care for her.


It was that evening, three weeks later when she did it. Living in the cold reality, no one, nothing could make her feel better. 
Her mother asleep, she did it. She grabbed a belt and hung it up. She stood on a stood, ready, no fear, no worries, this was the only way to end all her problems, a simple solution that doesn't cause any more problems, perfect. She hung down, hanging from the ceiling, being suffocated, no regrets, no cries of pain. 
She was soon dead. The silence of the night was endless, happiness was now among her, her mother died too, that night, the whole family dead. In the morning, there was no mourning. Slowly forgotten and put behind other people, as though nothing had ever happened.

Birthdays

Birthdays just add a number to your age, something, that as we grow older, into adulthood, we never really want to tell anyone our age, because we are old.
Many people look forward to their own special day where they were born however many years ago, they get presents and cake. But, think about it, does anyone actually care? Not really, people go out to find a present you might like, and you really don't.
Why look forward to that day anyway, it isn't just your special day, it is also 19,164,955 other peoples birthdays as well, and to think about it, not everyone can celebrate their day, and for them it is just another day of survival here on earth.
Birthdays just reinforce the idea about how little anyone cares about me, and how pointless life can get. So I never look forward to it, it generally just ends in tears anyway. 
Then there are those two types of people, the people who don't make a big deal about it and the people who make a big deal about it. The people who don't make a big deal about it, generally they will have the better day, with the people they like and having a good day with their family as well. The people who make such a fuss about it, more than likely will have a good day, but moan about it the next day to everyone. And that is what I hate about it so much. People are really self centered when it comes to their birthdays. 
Lots of people make such a big deal about it, you wonder why you don't just throw a pen at them. And even the people who don't seem to make a big fuss over it, they do, probably to a small group of people. And people get so sad when they don't get what they want. I don't like birthdays because there is nothing special to them. And some how, someone will find out that it is my birthday and then everyone just jokes about it whilst I sit there thinking, 'it is so good you know nothing about me'. 
And people want to celebrate with a crowd of people surrounding them, and you don't need that.
Then there are people singing to you, which, is fine, but when someone decides to sing to you, and you are clearly not in the mood for it, doesn't really help.
Candles are annoying too. You can burn yourself with them, safety hazard!!!



To conclude, in case you got lost, birthdays are long, boring days, like every other day, and nothing good can really be said about them, so why bother? Celebrate it if you want, but remember there are those who can't, and it only gets worse when you look at the reality.
Think, you don't need a crowd to celebrate your age, just one person can make everything special to you.

The birth of Vanillite, Vanillish & Vanilluxe

Meanwhile in GameFreak Studios... 
Whist creating the 5th generation of pokemon, one of the game designers is stumped, nothing left to inspire him, he goes out to get an ice cream, it is a warm day today, and the sun is shining at its full power on this bright afternoon, so bright in fact that it seems the sun is shining, not because it has to, but because a light wave of magical power is following the game designer.
Still pondering in his thought on what could be another 5th generation pokemon, he looks to his ice-cream, he shouts, "Eureka", and runs back to the GameFreak Studios, three new pokemon are born.
