This Event Is Dedicated To My Grandpa

On Sunday night, my grandfather passed away. He'd had a fall that left him hospitalized with a broken leg, and he did not recover from the operation. I'd like to remember him, however, as he was - a farmer and a wonderful grandfather, and a great-grandfather also.

In honour of my grandfathers' wool farming days, I have farmed for you these mareep. They may not look like much, but, like my grandfather, they may have hidden reserves you would never suspect from first glance.

They have the following moveset:
Safeguard - so that they may be protected from harm, even if just for a little while. I wish I could have safeguarded him from further suffering.
Hidden Power - because it takes great strength of will to keep going when your body aches. My grandfather had great inner strength.
Endure - because he survived through wars, floods, droughts and countless other things.
Signal Beam - because he was always there to assist his family, friends and neighbours. I'm sure all they had to do was ask.

Although I have done IV tests on all of these pokemon, I am only listing their natures and hidden powers, and the 20 I have here represent each grandchild and great-grandchild.

All mareep should be nick-named before pick-up.

What do you think of Gurnamunya? That was actually the name of his farm.

It's aboriginal but I forget what it means :oops: but I'll tell you when I find out again.

I did find out what "Gurnamunya" means, ironically enough, it is aboriginal for "Uncertain" or "Unsure" :lol:

To those of you who want me to name their mareep: Okay, can do. But I'll have to think of some good names.
