This is my take on Mega Flygon (because we all wish we could've gotten it). If anyone likes this, you're free to make fanart and use it in fics and such, if you want! Just credit/link back to me, please and thank you.

Now, for a little explanation...

Reason it has Lightning Rod - I wanted it to keep its Electric immunity and I thought that on the off-chance it got hit with an Electric-type attack, the boost to its Special Attack would be a nice buff to have with its Bug-type.

Reasons I buffed both of its defenses - Bug/Dragon isn't a great defensive typing, and it's pretty evenly split between physical and special weaknesses for the types its vulnerable to. Besides, its physical attack and speed are pretty decent, anyways. I essentially just wanted it to last a bit longer in battle enough to get off some good Earthquakes and Dragon Claws. It may no longer get STAB from Earthquake, but Earthquake is still Earthquake. It will get STAB from moves like Bug Buzz which it learns as a Vibrava- which if struck by an Electric-type move will make it even stronger. It also learns Signal Beam through Move Tutor.

A Manectric + Mega Flygon Double Battle combo might certainly be fun >:)

It's the 10th anniversary of the release of ORAS this year, and it's 8 years since I first started working on a combination of the May Is The Adopted Child of Hardenshipping au and the Archie/Maxie Are Possessed By Kyogre/Groudon au (with a twist of May x Zinnia) and making it my own sort of take on a Delta Emerald type thing. And, well, I've recently started working on it again (no promises about actually posting a finished fanfic, even though it's been 8 years 💀) and ended up redrawing the art I made for it back in 2016!

Original under the cut :)

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire 10th Anniversary - The Skies and The Stars: Wally and Zinnia Analysis

"N-nice to meet you! I'm Wally. My Pokémon and I are always forward together, little by little, day by day!" Wally

"I'm Zinnia—just a traveling Pokémon Trainer, dreaming of taking a little trip into space... Heh." Zinnia

Happy late 10th Anniversary of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it only feels like yesterday when I first played ORAS, one of my favorite Pokemon games. ORAS is such a wonderful remake of Ruby and Sapphire. The game also gave us the iconic Delta Episode, the game's adaptation of Emerald. The game also expands on a known character and introduces a brand new character: Wally, a boy who longs for the skies of freedom, and Zinnia, a girl who longs for her destiny in the stars. While their paths intersect once, their paths hold similar motifs.

For two characters who never interacted on-screen (only briefly off-screen), they share a lot in common and they stand out in the remake as ORAS turns 10 years old (God I feel old).

Wally (I thought he was older than he looked, and I still believe that despite what Canon says haha) started as just a simple sick boy who grew to conquer the gyms and nearly take on the Elite Four and Champion. He shows how one can succeed despite the odds stacked against them. He has struggled throughout his entire life. He desires to travel to regions like Unova and become a trainer, yet he has a disease that affects his breathing. Not only that, but his own relatives don't think he's capable of handling things by himself. It's a part of his own motivation to become a trainer: To prove, despite everything, he can be just as much a strong person as any other trainer. He wants to accomplish and fulfill his dreams.

Wally sadly doesn't get a lot of love outside of ORAS; even in the Adventures manga, when he finally gets his moment, it gets undercut. I also think he's best represented by Gardevoir over Gallade.

Zinnia (I see her as half-Hoenn and half-Kalos), the last Lorekeeper of the Draconid people, searches for purpose and finds it in fulfilling a prophecy, not thinking about her own future or her actions. She desperately wants to live up to the legacy of Lorekeeper Aster, who is highly implied to be her mother (and given how Aster was portrayed in Evolutions and yes even Adventures, she's most likely Zinnia's mother), and she makes impulsive decisions with the potential to doom humanity and Pokemon. Her impulsive decisions range from helping Team Magma/Aqua unleash their Legendary to awaken Rayquaza to destroying the rocket component because of the possibility it might warp it to another universe (while we know she's right, the characters have no idea of verifying her claims are true or not). Trying to live up to Aster's legacy gives her a purpose; a destiny. If she can't live up to that and therefore fails her own people, the people and Pokemon of the world...what does she do?

They want to soar above to prove not only to others but to themselves that they're capable and grown. They feel the burden of trying to live up to their own expectations. By the end, the two characters come to their own realization of their futures. Wally realizes he doesn't need to defeat their rival to prove their growth. Zinnia realizes she has to move on and find her reason to live beyond fulfilling a destiny she burdened herself with. The two find ways to live and grow, thanks to Brendan/May. Life is far more than just being a trainer or fulfilling a destiny.

Funnily enough, Wally and Zinnia are connected through Rayquaza in other media. Wally frees Rayquaza on Sky Pillar in the RS Arc of Adventure manga and Zinnia gets to have Rayquaza as her Pokemon partner in Pokemon Masters. They also sadly never appeared in the official anime.

"I bet you must be surprised to see me in a place like this! That promise that we made back then... Thank you for keeping your end of it. It was really all thanks to you that I could make it this far... It was only because I lost to you back then that I could become even stronger. I'm sure you and your Pokémon must have had to overcome a lot, too... To make it all the way here. Right...? Everyone's grown so much... And now we'll get to see just what we can all do. Standing here facing you again gives me chills... ... But I won't give up! I won't lose anymore. My Pokémon have given me the courage and strength to fight. I have to win for their sake! So get ready... Here I come!" Wally on Victory Road before battle

"History had chosen you... The truth remains that Rayquaza chose you and not me... But... While I don't know how to put it into words exactly... I think I understand why... ... You will be successor to our long history now. And I pass to you the final key to Rayquaza's true power. The move that only it can learn: Dragon Ascent... ...That's it, then. I guess... it's time that I do my last task as Lorekeeper. You have obtained Rayquaza's power for your own... Now I will have you prove to me that you can muster that power... in battle! That is my final... The final duty of the last Lorekeeper of the Draconid people! Show me that can exceed it—the entirety of history that we have clung to until today!... My pulse... I can feel it racing... I'm feeling...totally...pumped! Haaahhh! This is it!!" Zinnia on Sky Pillar before battle

KAIJUMORPHA AU OVERVIEW:

what is the au about and what are kaijumorphs?

Kaijumorpha au is an anthological Alternate universe that is primarily based on creature features, folklore, and me brainrotting over creature aus. The main central point of the au are those called kaijumorphs, humans with monstrous or pokemon like traits, that have been as old as when humans have been around in the pokemon universe.

In the Au, kaijumorphs can come in three different forms, these being demihumans, werebeasts, and Therus(working on the name).

Demihumans humans with Pokémon-like traits that are based on the type the person has birth (like dragon types having draconic/dinosaurian features and flying types having feathers or a patagium.)

( for example, my sada design.)

the next are werebeasts, and as their names imply, they are humans who can transform into a more monstrous version of an animal/Pokémon if given certain stimuli (the moon, sun, fight or flight etc). the amount of Sapience someone had in their werebeast form is based how many times the person has been used to the form (like the first few times, the person is nothing more than a feral beast but a few more times they become used to it).

I don’t have a picture for this but think of the werebeasts from the sonic freaks au as an example.

The final category of these kaijumorphs are the mythical Therus. mostly bestial beings considered to be the “legendaries” among both humans and animals (oh yeah, animals exist in the au btw). This group are most than not, artificially created via either human hubris or fusing human and pokemon. Therus are able to transform back into humans, but it takes considerable energy on the Therus and many of them (mostly unnaturally created ones) are unable to know how to turn back into humans.

The main stories

the main stories within the kaijumorpha au include (and tldr)

“child of the golden phoenix” (Johto games and Ethan being ho-oh’s parent and has a shoenn vibe.)

“emeralds under the delta sky” (Pokemon emerald/Oras fusion but Brendan is the biological son of Archie and Maxie)

“Tales of platinum borea” (pokemon platinum with a more ghibli vibe and Cyrus is actually a polar sauropod)

“scars of black and white” (Unova games but I draw HEAVY inspiration from the manga and FMA)

“crossed and splitting paths” (XY but It has a better story and I made Calem a centaur.)

“Eclipse at the edge of the horizon” (how absolutely powerful can I make the Elio/Selene in here? Oh I know! “Gives them kaiju forms that fistfight ultra necrozma)

“Fenrir’s chosen wolves” (Scottish werewolf twins fistfight eternatus and the armor dogs are ancient werewolves.)

“bonds forged in scarlet” (“how much found family can I put into Scatlet?”)

“power always comes at a price” (the Kieran story)

“Hisui’s boreal Titan” (Cyrus gets sent to hisui alongside Lucas and meet akari who is actually a clone created by Arceus)

Awww thank you! I love him he’s so silly to me, he’s my favorite Pokémon character to draw! I love his square shapes~

[chaosflame2807]

I got an emulator for Pkmn Emerald, and I just wanted to share this image. My character just surfed up to these two forces of nature and I did an in-character rant at the screen for a solid five minutes. Like-

Reminiscing on how things were, before it eventually led to this...

Hey surprise, I've actually been properly writing a fic for my 8 year old ORAS au akdjhfskjadshfkjds (which from now on, everything involved with it will be tagged as "delta emerald au")!

I don't want to say too much to spoil the fic, but I will say how a major aspect is it involves May being the adopted daughter of Archie and Maxie, and how she doesn't exactly take them breaking up all that well...

[leavingautumn13]

For the WIP title asks:

Rising Tide (which is also a song by Sunny Day Real Estate)!

Tell me, do Kyogre and Groudon meet at the shore to enjoy a nice playdate while Maxie and Archie fight over land/water property lines like the suburban dads they are?

this ask is sending me, oh my lord. thank you--i laughed pretty hard at this :D

and this song is within the time frame of songs i'm referencing in the fic, so that's just perfect! thank you!

"color your skin with gold, and the violence remains cover your eyes with rose, but the stain remains will you repair your life with all the holes you fill? smother your will and drain you of your passion..."

oh yeah, that's going on the playlist.

as for our beloved suburban dads, i can't say too much without spoiling the last quarter or so of the fic--though i guess i have been pretty transparent about maxie actually succeeding in catching groudon. that's a thing that happens. gonna be mum about the circumstances and implications and fallout of that, though. i'm sure it turns out fine.

as for the wip itself, it's the first chapter of eye of the storm. the title refers to the circumstances that drive may to leave home in the first place--things get to be too much for her.

for a little context about my may, she's 22 at the start of the fic, and had moved out of her parents' house at 18, back when they still lived in johto. she opted to move back in with them temporarily when they moved to hoenn (instead of staying in johto by herself), and it's a choice she starts regretting very quickly. snippet under the cut. i feel like i should add a trigger warning for this as well--it's a bad situation if you've ever been in it before but pretty vague if you don't know what you're looking at. tw for implied emotional abuse, i suppose.

This was bad.

May sat on the carpeted top stair and gripped her empty mug so tightly her knuckles turned white. A faint “godsdammit” floated around the corner that led into the living room and up to her ears. Whatever her mother was fussing with down there had her, to be incredibly mild, extremely pissed off.

This was bad, but it had probably been worse at some point before. Not that May could put a finger on when, exactly; the last four years of solitude had papered over the memory of her mother’s moods with a series of perfectly pleasant lunches and borderline enjoyable outings to the movies. The tone of voice May was catching now, in snippets from the ground floor, was a knife widening the old wound of the six years before that, during their time in Olivine, after their last big move. The first time this had happened, May had been thirteen and stupidly hopeful.

She didn’t have age as an excuse this time.

Did she really need another cup of coffee? She could turn around, tail between her legs, and head back to her room. This one locked, though that might cause her more problems in the long run. She’d already endured the years of formless suspicion about why she kept her door closed all the time, and even that particularly bad summer where the door had been removed entirely. She didn’t need, didn’t want a repeat of that. Something told her the offense her mother would suffer over a locked door would be far greater than over a closed one. Teenagers were just like that, after all. From an adult it would be an insult.

Moving back in had been a massive fucking mistake.
