[chronophobica]

oh boy what a fun and cool set of characters! i sure hope no preventable tragedies happen to them

[jadeazora]

Tiny Amethio from the new episode today! (Wow, Hamber has been with the family for a while... Explains that fondness he has for the kid, he likely raised him.)

Also, another pic of the original Explorers trio and their Pokemon:

[applemagspie]

The three babygirls

[grey822aaa]

The way their relationship was shown in the anime and the way I understood it

Seriously, Lucius doesn't have warm feelings for his friends

The fact that Rystal gave birth to his daughter doesn't mean that he loves her and I can understand him, there's nothing to love her for, she's like someone's oc for a pairing without personality

Lucius doesn't really like people, he's more concerned about pokemon

Bro flew Rayquaza himself and made a pregnant woman run. About what are we talking

Rystal was introduced into the plot only to explain Lucius' relationship with Liko and to tell about him and Gibeon

Eternal blessing? more like eternal third wheel

Pokémon Horizons Ship Names

And now for something not entirely off brand for me. I love ship names so I thought I'd catalog every single one for Pokemon Horizons, excluding the really creepy ships. I've included every possible (legal) combination (at least within the groups), just so even the rare pair shippers can be represented (some of which I made up myself, feel free to inform me if I'm wrong about any of these or if you have any better ideas). On that note, we have:

[scraftyisthebest]

The Explorers kinda draw a lot from medieval fantasy and royalty. Gibeon is like a king. Hamber is Gibeon's "retainer" and family butler. Amethio is the crown prince. Amethio was even raised in a full-blown mansion, and Hamber practically raised him like a prince. It's a mansion guarded by Sirfetch'd and Escavalier, which are both knight-like Pokémon, alongside Minccino as cleaners and Indeedee as waiters. Amethio's father Cervantis is largely absent from his life but he owns a Cinccino, which is elegant and fancy, further emphasizing Amethio as someone raised like royalty in high society (and it evolves via the Shiny Stone, which embodies royalty and high society as shown in Togekiss, Roserade, and Florges). Amethio's two Pokemon are knight-like, with Ceruledge and Corviknight, highlighting his chivalrous, honorable character shaped by his "royal" upbringing. Coral, Sidian, and Chalce are the knights and warriors of the "king" Gibeon who were "knighted" and trained by the butler and retainer Hamber. Spinel is basically Amethio's brother in all but blood as someone who was personally recruited by Gibeon. He's the petty, vindictive older brother who doesn't have legitimacy to Gibeon's throne like Amethio, and after Gibeon died and entrusted his will to Amethio, Spinel acted on that petty grudge by usurping the throne by force, disobeying Gibeon's wishes and disregarding the fact that he was disinherited (and never had any legitimacy to Gibeon's throne to begin with).

On the other hand, the Rising Volt Tacklers feel rooted in a high fantasy fairy tale in a way. Their adventure in Horizons is rooted in discovering the legend of the ancient hero Lucius. Lucius is like a folk hero. He's not around (even though it turns out he was alive but sealed away in Laqua), but his adventures are recorded and passed down over generations for many to learn about. Diana, Liko's grandmother, isn't directly associated with the RVT but she discovered Lucius's story and was inspired to become an adventurer, and then she passed the story down to her daughter and her son-in-law, and Alex wrote a picture book about it. She passed down the pendant she discovered to Liko and that kick-started her into an adventure she had never dreamed of with the RVT. Alex's picture book was read to Roy by his grandfather and that in turn inspired Roy to become an adventurer and eventually join the RVT. The group's a ragtag motley group of adventurers led by a guy named Friede and a bunch of misfit adults and another kid named Dot. Liko starts out as just an ordinary girl who doesn't expect to be much more than that, and she was raised pretty hands-off, but finds herself entangled in a big mystery and even finds out that she is the descendant of the ancient hero. Her team has a very fairy-tale esque vibe to it so far. She has a magician cat in Meowscarada, her Hattrem culminates in a witch-like Pokemon in Hatterene, and Pagogo is also very much a fairy tale creature. The three of them together also align with the "magical girl" anime vibe a la Sailor Moon and Precure, and that also reinforces it. Roy's ancient Poke Ball opened to reveal a literal dragon in the Black Rayquaza who becomes a major story element. And then they faced another dragon beast when facing Gibeon in the White Zygarde.

And yet their paths intertwined because that "king" and that "folk hero" were tied together by a shared story, and Pagogo was a shared story element that was also all that was left of the other person in Gibeon and Lucius's story, whose presence in their story was lost to time (Rystal). All three of Gibeon, Lucius, and Rystal are gone now, but what they left behind isn't.

(I'm probably spewing a load of bullshit but I couldn't help it LMAO).

[ena-the-eepy]

I miss the original 3 Explorers,,,

Tbh Rystal was the rowdiest of the bunch cuz she had no filter whatsoever😔
