#pseudo legend

[saucylobster]

One of the pseudos for the region. I wanted a Poison dragon and in my head i've long associated centipedes with dragons, in any bug themed world I can easily picture them as dragon equivalents. I wanted the shiny to more overtly communicate the poison typing, so purple and green it is. Komupede are swift and vicious hunters, hiding in the dark places until prey comes close enough before bolting from the shadows and chasing them down. Once caught in their pincers prey is seldom let go, but if escape is possible they will soon succumb to a painful venom. As they grow Oomupede gain wings, allowing them to fly, albeit in an ungainly fashion. This is a difficult stage in their life as their unusual proportions can make hunting more difficult and many switch to exclusively ambushing prey, using their venom to subdue prey they can no longer outpace. After a difficult adolescence, Omukadoku have become kings of their realm. Claiming a mountain as their own, they undulate through the skies around it and crawl through its narrow caverns, their immense size and fierce nature leaving them all but untouchable. Legends say they add a new segment to their bodies every hundred years, the eldest amongst them growing to titanic proportions. I didn't realise i'd messed up and Omukadoku has an extra segment... oh well... --Attack Info-- --Ability Info--

headcanon that annabeth is freakishly strong. not because she's been training as a soldier since she was seven. but because stretching the limits of your strength is a mental block first and foremost. and as a daughter of athena, goddes of the mind and strategy. all annabeth has to do is believe that she can lift something and she will lift it.

Okay what pokemon do we think Lae’zel would be? Maybe I haven’t stared hard enough at the roster, but none of them are jumping out at me

Some concepts I had for a mega goodra I doodles up with the Pokémon presents coming up in a few weeks.

See Christmas in the loz universe wouldn’t be “Christmas” since Christianity was retconned and only arguably canon in the first place so it would make more sense for it to be Hylia related somehow since she shed her divinity in a manner somewhat reminiscent of Jesus Christ but in several games Hylia isn’t even mentioned beyond a lake being named after her so I don’t know if it would be about the three golden goddesses or if Hyruleans would still celebrate Hylia and the meaning was gradually lost throughout the years much like how Christmas in our modern day has been watered down and the Christian aspect is largely ignored or pushed to the side plus I’m not sure if it would be called Hyliamas since the roots of Christmas refer to literally Christ’s Mass and since I don't think they have mass in Hyrule so it would more likely be "Hylia’s Day” or something similar like that

Day 6 is finished! It's earlier because I will be heading out for a trip tomorrow. I will do the day thing with day Six, though probably will post that one post-midnight.

Oh! I'm curious to know how the Legendaries are acting in your Akari/Kiki project!

Are they more "Thoust art but a mortal, yet braveth enough for I to seek your company" or more "Hey, I know u a mortal and don't live long but u kinda cool, mind if I chill with you for the rest of your life bro?"

These tought just kinda poped in my mind hehehe xD

I actually had to think about this for a while and I made some notes to help me going forward LOL. So the Legendaries in Hisui are worshiped, like Palkia and Dialga and are treated like gods but the clans. But ultimately they are Pokemon. So I think what makes them differ besides from the GRAND COSMIC POWER from say, the average Pikachu, would be their intelligence, or their cognitive ability to interact and communicate with people. Like, most if not all pokemon can, but Legendaries in particular would operate more like kami. They understand human language and can respond in some way or even speak it.

Sort of like say, Princess Mononoke, where the older gods like Moro the wolf can speak but the newer generations are like more intelligent animals who have lost their ability to do so. That's how Legendaries operate in my AU. They're gods in the sense that they are ancient, powerful beings but can form human connections if they want to. Most don't, but Palkia and Dialga in particular are very fond of the clans since they literally worship them.

I think the Lake Trio would make more appearances because they don't generally live on a whole different plane of existence. They would be very skittish but also curious about people. But their powers can hurt humans if they're not careful and they aren't very careful. They just cannot really comprehend humans are squishy.

Post PLA Palkia and Dialga I think would pop in on the fringes to check on their worshipers, kind of like seeing bigfoot in the distance every time you have a bbq. They would only actually go out of their way to interact with those who have earned their respect, so essentially the Clan Leaders every so often, or Akari. There's lots of reverence from the clans so it's more of a "how art mine believers faring these days" sort of interaction a few times a generation since they have zero concept of time. While with Akari, who treats them like strong pokemon rather than gods because Akari is technically a modern trainer, they would visit more often because they are more curious about them.

They're kind of like stray cats that just wander in whenever to check on their human and possibly bug them for treats. I'd also like to think that come the future since worship of Palkia and Dialga isn't as in your face as Arceus, Palkia would actually take an interest in Ingo since he is technically a member of the old Pearl Clan. So as a Warden he's something like a priest to Palkia. Ingo would need to discuss with his brother whether or not Palkia is allowed on the subway.

But long story short Legendaries play favorites, especially with their "champions" (protagonists of that particular game) and Akari is no exception. Only thing is there's a bit of a pissing match going on between Arceus, Palkia, Dialga and Giritina for their attention post PLA. Arceus will sometimes call or FaceTime them on the arc phone because why can't god face time their favorite little guy? Palkia and Dialga will actually visit sometimes. And i think I mentioned this before but I like to believe post PLA Akari would erect a tiny shrine for Giritina since the clans have little in home shrines for their particular deity and they felt bad that Giritina was being left out. Because of this Kieran is essentially blessed by satan.

Also the legendaries are not used in battle here. As funny as it is to see Arceus use like, perish song or something in a battle, unless they are fighting eachother (other legendaries) it's considered disrespectful in the AU to even consider doing that. Pokemon world religions or whatever. It would be like sending Jesus into a cage match people would lose their minds.

Also in case anyone is wondering yes Palkia and Dialga would absolutely pop into the BB Academy Terrarium for funsies were Akari to go back to school. They would have cryptid status.

I have sm aus but i just made one that i rlly like and i think i release this to the public before i put too much storylines and do not know where to start on how to introduce.

Introducing a very Self-Indulgent Au made for my own Happiness and makes zero senses but still fucking dumb and funny.

Vivid Bad Poké AU.

VBS with Pokemon except 1% of the time i put actual thought behind each selection of Pokemons and the other 99% is me going "This would be funny"

In case you wanna know,

Kohane and Toya does Contests.

Akito and An does Leagues.
