Ava Alone

Summary: Ava finds herself alone after the fall. She has a lot to think about.

Notes: Several things! 1) POKEMON DESOLATION SPOILERS AHEAD DON'T READ IF YOUR UNFAMILIAR WITH THE GAME!!! 2) This fic takes place within my own version of events of desolation, where things are extended more. The player takes like. A week to climb down that Silver Rise, bc it's a fucking mountain. Of course that's subject to change, but for the sake of this fic, that's the case. 3) I dunno if this would be ooc for Ava or not lol. I'm kinda using my own hcs here and 4) Asra is my protag oc! i think that's everything so I hope you enjoy!

Her landing wasn’t exactly painless, but thankfully, it was painful either. How she survived the fall, she doesn’t know, and honestly, she doesn’t want to know. The first thing she clocked in was that Asra wasn’t there. Asra wasn’t there. A panic starts to settle in her stomach as she forces herself up from the ground, wincing as she does, and her head turns left and right in hopes that she can find her best friend….but nothing. 

Ava frowns, just now realizing exactly where she is. Well….it certainly isn’t the sky. Trees and grass are all she can see...shit did she fall in the middle of some woods? 

“Great,” she mumbles to herself, fully picking herself off the ground and trying to once again, take in her surroundings. She can’t exactly complain about her landing spot - it’s a goddamn forest, her element really - and she could be lying if she said it wasn’t just a bit cozy. She didn;t sense an immediate danger, and the serenity of it all was peaceful. 

“Welp,” she mutters, “ Where do I go from here?”

She starts to walk, wincing a bit as she realizes- for what seems to be the millionth realization today - that her body was more roughed up than she initially thought. But it’s whatever. She can deal with it. So she keeps trudging on…

~~~~~

Addenfall is a nice place, Ava decided. A small community with nice people in a nice area - what more do you want? The minute she showed up in the town, she was immediately taken to the pokemon center to heal up - both her and her pokemon. She insisted that she was fine, but they pretty much forced her to rest, which. Sure. Whatever. Not like Asra is still out there somewhere and she’s not looking for them. It’s not like Asra, for all she knows, could be dead-

Her breath hitches, and she rubs two fingers against the bridge of her nose. Okay. Maybe…maybe rest sounds like a good idea. She needs to get her thoughts in order. She needs to think of a plan.

“ Alright Ava, recount the steps. How did you get here?” 

She closes her eyes, and thinks back to the events leading up to now. They just got a way to get to Cellia….they took the Jinx teleporter and….

Ava’s eyes shot wide open, and a wave of anger crashes into her. Scarlett was there. Scarlett sided with those…fucking lunatics! And for what? A stupid dream? Those people almost killed her! And she had the fucking gall to-

“ You know what? I’m done thinking,”Ava huffs, turning aside in the bed Nurse Joy gave her. She forces her eyes shut, not letting herself even think of that girl she once called her friend. She doesn’t deserve that title. Not anymore.

~~~~~

It’s been a few days. Still no Asra. Once she was given the okay by Nurse Joy, she immediately started searching. With the help of her pokemon, she pretty much looked through the entirety of Addenfall Woods - nothing. The scary thought that Asra might be dead was growing louder by the day and she just desperately wanted to be proven wrong. Or….or maybe Asra joined Team Cresent, too. Ava shakes her head- no that’s ridiculous. Asra isn’t like Scarlett. They at least have a good head on their shoulders. 

She sighs, taking a rest near a tree within the woods. She once again tries not to think of a familiar pinkette. Tries not to think of her face right before Ava fell.  Because it’s not worth it. She made her choice, so it isn’t worth it…….right?

Ava looks down at the back of her hands, resting on her knees. There’s a few more scraps there, from all the looking that she’s done for the past few days. Going from her fingers to her nails, a vibrant shade of green pops out. Oh right. Her nails. The nail polish chipped now, given everything that had happened to her for the past….week? God she doesn’t even know. She frowns at her nails- she doesn’t even like nail polish that much honestly. Why was she wearing it again?

“ Ava, stop squirming, you're going to smudge your nails!” Scarlett huffs, pointing the tiny nail brush at her. Ava rolls her eyes, looking at the hand in Scarlett’s. 

“ I can’t believe you two convinced me to wear this….” she says, looking down at her nails, most of which are now coated in green nail polish. She can hear Asra laugh lightly. 

“ Scarlett wanted us to match, somehow,” they say, and while they are behind her, Ava can feel their small smile on their face, “ Besides, you could have said no. We all know, you could have said no. But you didn’t~” 

Ava groans, resting her head on her non nail polished hand, “ Yeah yeah, you two are sooooo lucky I like the both of you,” she can’t exactly hide her smile, looking at Scarlett who’s smiling back.

“ It’ll be worth it, trust me!” she beams, then focusing back on Ava’s nails, “ Besides, it’s been foreeeeever since we had a makeover together! Even if it’s just nail polish!”

Scarlett finishes a nail, and examines it with her critical eye. After a few seconds, she nods, smiling. 

“ I just think it would be nice to bring something old to our new beginning. Don’t you think?”

“ Venusaur?” Ava jumps slightly at her pokemon’s cry. She looks to her side to see her Venusaur looking at her with worry. She straightens herself up, wiping whatever it was in her eye. 

“A-ah! I must have zoned out huh? Let’s head back to town, hm?” she tries to prevent her voice from shaking, and tries her best to give her partner a reassuring smile. Venusaur Ava’s smile wavers a bit, feeling some more tears threatening to fall. She gets up immediately, turning away from her partner.

“I’m fine! Really! It’s getting late, so we should really get back,” 

She hates that she’s hiding from her Venusaur, she hates that she feels like she has to, but she does anyway. She can hear Venusaur sigh, and starts trudging along with her back to Addenfall Town. She makes a mental note to smother Venusaur with treats as an apology.

Was I a good friend to her?

The question plagued her ever since she woke up the next morning. It left an empty feeling in her gut, and for once, she can’t push that thought out of her mind. 

“Of course I was,” she’d try to reason with herself, “ We’ve been friends since high school, why wouldn’t we be?” But it was never enough. The question repeated itself over and over in her mind, a wave a guilt would wash over her as she thinks back to every interaction the two had.

“ I should have paid more attention,” she would chastise herself later that day, “ I should have talked to her, should have been nicer to her- fuck and I was so quick to throw her away! What was I thinking-”

“Saur?” Once again, her Venusaur snaps her out of her thoughts, looking at her with such concern. The shame of hiding before crept up on her once more, and she leaned towards her partner, hugging it as she whispers,

“ I think I’m a bad friend.” Her voice was quiet, broken, and it took all her strength not to cry. Venusaur coos, gently tapping Ava’s back, as if to say “ That’s not true”. Now it’s Ava turn for disbelief. But she holds her Venasuar anyway. It gives her comfort, at least. That’s the best thing she needs right now.

~~~~~

It would have been officially and week since Ava found herself in Addenfall. Still no Asra. Still no Scarlett. She refuses to believe Asra is dead. And she prays that Scarlett isn’t fully gone. She tried traveling through Silver Rise Forest, but it’s fucking cold, cold and cold. Literally one of the worst places for her and her grass types. And she tried getting through that joint, she really did. Didn’t help that it was so big. She had to cut her loses and hope for a miracle.

Addenall is still as nice as it ever was. She tries to help around where she can, but she finds herself going out for walks more than anything. It’s nice. Helps with her stress. But that isn’t always enough now is it? So imagine her surprise when she she walks out of town to see a Black Fox grunt harassing one of the townspeople. And righteous anger rages within her and she finds herself storming towards the damn grunt, ready for him to feel her wrath.

Good, she thinks. She needed an outlet.

oh damn, i'm clearly out of the loop, there is v14 preview already???

[heretodefyfate]

Extremely old doodles that i decided to post now cuz' i just simply want to update st

[heretodefyfate]

I'm ngl, just rambling to myself isn't always comforting💦 So decided to show you guys random doodles about my OCs and fakemons

I fucking finally feel satisfied with how i wanted Coraline to look like, her buns definitely needs a bit of fixing tho (Who would have thought playing as a deranged person in the body of Aevia from pkmn rejuv would helps me coming up with the idea for the antagonist in my project)

your 3 main rivals, Isa is the friendly type, Aaron as the asshole type, Zac is sketchy (not the finalize version tho, idk, i want to make their hair as interesting as mainline games designs)

random gym leaders

Heatmor: Fire/Rock Flygon: Ground/Fairy Aromatisse: Fire/Poison Eevee: Dragon

[heretodefyfate]

I miss the time when we can just randomly meet Cera in a random building at GDC

Like, as someone who discovered rejuv at v13. It's funny how we get punished thrice for entering random houses. (Not much but still-)

First, random lvl 85 Alakazam despite the numerous warning about a crazy lady at this specific floor.

Second, random house that was locked before and the moment we enter, got jumpscared by a shiny Gothitelle and she locked us in with it.

Third, we having a joy ride on the elevator and unknowingly walked into Cera's apartment. Technically she didn't do anything, but considering how rough Angie was, seeing Cera is still a jumpscare to me.

[heretodefyfate]

I feel like i misunderstood st here

Karma files discussion below

It's confirmed that Renegade_MC and Paragon_MC baton passed their items to each other.

Paragon_MC trade the End_Of_Nights code to Renegade_MC and in return, Par_MC get Red Chain.

So like, does it "implied" that, no matter what our choices was, both Renegade and Paragon routes are heavily depends on each other? you can't "end" anything without others helps?

That how i understand the whole stuffs so far.

And the concept is...idk, i mean, it's an interesting concept, but still, it's iffy to think that you require the destruction of one world in order for other timeline to gain its ultimate freedom.

I mean, everything will ultimately merge with each other and reset, right? So the horror will eventually ends up become a bad dream...

"Most of you will die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make"

AKA Pokémon Salt and Shadow makes me think instead of just bullrushing it and sometimes unorthodox measures must be taken.

[heretodefyfate]

I forgot how fun pkmn salt and shadow was (it used to be called as "perish song")

I mean, for a casual player, it's quite hellish but the world building do make the gimmicks and challenge in this world feel less ...salty?

Bittersweet story? The world is broken, like, extremly, but, there are also a lot of moment that will remind you that there is still hope and keep pushing through will rewars you handsomely.

Also, thank you for not locking all sort of endings behind extreme-difficult mode. Like, sure, day 1 ending is a hard challenge, just don't force me to fight Eternatus for hidden-true ending

"I have always wanted to see how you connect with your pokemon, P/N"

"P\N, i'm suppose to be a shady NPC, not a super secret boss fight"

nope, just one person, little ol' me :] the icon on the bottom is just my main acc (not for anything specifically, i just rb whatevers)

[heretodefyfate]

Are you still alive?

Sadly, yes, i'm still alive, i think

[heretodefyfate]

that height chart kinda pissed me off ngl (in a joking way)

cuz' first, Alain being the shortest one of the group

second, Alain is taller than me! and yet, they are the shortest of the group

third, Geara still fucking taller than me

[heretodefyfate]

An impressively large image, but here's the official height chart for Rejuvenation's cast (as posted on twitter earlier)! Best viewed when opened in a new tab (or view the full resolution thing here!)

Couple of things of note: 🔷 Heights take footwear in account; characters with high heels/platforms are a bit shorter in truth. 🔶 Heights are based on posture when standing upright! (puppet master pls.)

I know character proportions are inconsistent between characters but many were drawn during different time periods and similarly weren't drawn with heights in mind so please don't pay attention to the discrepancies if proportions feel off between characters 💀 Maybe one day I'll be crazy enough to go and fix the discrepancies up but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
