A proud member of the Zinnation. Cursed with Hoenn brainrot. I have opinions about ORAS. Ask me about my fanfics and ocs. I'm also the mastermind behind way too many pokemon irl blogs to list here. I' m an adult who sometimes uses she/her and sometimes uses he/him)
Oh yeah, I always forget about the "We used to be on the same team" thing. So I usually kind of ignore it in favor of being anything from ex-boyfriends who split in college long before either of them started their respective teams (auraverse) to ex-husbands (except maybe not officially because its hard to get a divorce when you're a wanted criminal) who split because of starting their teams (May-as-Archie-and-Maxie's-daughter au that I really need a name for). They're always exes though because I'm a hardcore (get it) Hardenshipper.
I think Tabitha is actually great with kids when they're not trying to ruin Team Magma's plans.
