When Team Galactic exploded the lakes, champions and elites from Indigo, Hoenn, and Unova made a separate group chat about the event. (Will be mentioned in The League Chronicles)

No one is happy because they had warned Sinnoh for years about keeping their criminals in check.

They didn't listen.

i posted a thing! again, not any of my longer wips but something that came to me on a whim a week ago. please enjoy <3

[sinnohelitefourlore]

thinking about in the anime aaron of sinnoh's elite four was going to challenge cynthia but then was fucking outsmarted by team rocket.

like.

bro.

you are an elite.

Summary: Lucian had wondered if anyone could hear him screaming.

- Companion piece to The League Chronicles, and more of what didn't make Lucian's chapter.

[sinnohelitefourlore]

That night, Lucian would step into his shower fully clothed, the water soaking through his suit and rubbing his arms as if he were bathing. That very same night, Wake and Byron would get so plastered to the point where they forgot their own names. That very same horrible, awful, night, Volkner would fixate on an invention more than he usually would, despite his hands that were shaking. And in that same night, Bertha wouldn't get any sleep. Her presence was what kept Flint from screaming and pulling his hair out from the flashbacks and nightmares.

Sinnoh League Found Family Hcs that will be featured in my ongoing league story that you can read here: -yes cynthia is the champion but bertha is responsible for sinnoh turning very matriarchal. usually it's bertha who is the ultimate decider on these things and cynthia trusts her judgment the most. she gets what she wants. -bertha is literally the designated League Mom. literally she's the one every single league member goes to whenever they have personal problems. yes, even the stoic lucian. she is the best listener and will probably end up making you cocoa. -lucian and flint will show up in bertha's office just for the purpose of avoiding their own paperwork and to bother her. she also has to yell at them to stop licking the frosting when she's baking cupcakes. they do this to annoy her. -bertha is someone who's always willing to learn. she's happy to hear volkner talk about his inventions and his obsession with technology. he teaches her how to use the latest gadgets and she's always so enthralled by them. it actually makes volkner's eyes light up. -cynthia is the designated big sister. she was totally there for candice, gardenia, and maylene whenever "girl problems" came up. -the younger kids of the sinnoh league (aaron, gardenia, maylene, roark, and candice) were undergrounders, apart of sinnoh's grand underground program where kiddies turn into battling machines, which is why they were able to achieve their positions so young. the older generation seems to understand they're young, and therefore are super understanding. still. bertha has done more parenting in fifteen minutes than their families have done in fifteen years. -candice has a nickname. they call her "candy corn" because her full name is candice cornwall, and also because she's sweet as candy. -fantina is called "tina" by byron and wake, after drinking those two under the table at a bar for the first time. fantina always drinks those two under the table. she's kalosian. she handles her liquor better. -maylene was actually discovered by flint and gave her an explorer's kit to send her to the grand underground program after seeing her defiance toward a police officer. it was his idea to make her the new gym leader of veilstone. he was the first person she told about her dad. candice was the second. -roark refers to riley as some boy toy with a stupid fucking fedora. he hates riley because roark's father wanted him to be the gym leader of orebourgh instead of roark, and that pushed roark to become the undisputed leader of the grand underground to show his father. -aaron starts off as a selective mute who was hired to be a gym leader after roark insisted and no one wanted the eterna city position at the time. the sinnoh league didn't care about his muteness, because he did his work, did what he was told, and minded his business. when aaron wins the elite position, he learns to talk more with the support of his elites and cynthia. bertha especially, was very helpful. later he infodumps to them about bugs for 10-15 min. they let him. -gardenia has a garden that's the envy of the entire city. sometimes bertha will come over to help her out with it. people say that she's the most like cynthia, and by that I mean she has the "uncanny valley" look in her eyes, that something is a bit... off about her. really she's fine. that's just her face. -the sinnoh league has sunday brunch hosted by bertha. you don't miss a sunday brunch hosted by bertha unless you're on a ventilator. -when bertha cooks, byron, wake, lucian, volkner, flint, roark, and aaron (pretty much grown men) will fight over who gets to lick the spoon. -they're probably more of a family than any other league. they're a very tight knit group, and that's probably because of bertha. she was cheekily called "mother bertha" for her doting, stern manner, but she genuinely does love them like her own. family didn't have to be blood.

"That fucking Miltank!" The pink-haired girl grinned in sheer delight at the trainer's cry of fury, and recalled her Miltank in the Goldenrod City gym after winning the battle against his final Pokemon, a Floatzel. The opposite trainer's eye twitched. It was the fact that this girl, this little girl had handed the trainer's ass back to them. It left little to the imagination how she got hired, he thought. That Miltank of hers was a force of nature. She moved in a way that a fat cow shouldn't move. Quick on her feet, stomping his Pokemon into oblivion, and the girl ordered all of that with a smile on her face. The pleasure that the girl had gotten from wiping the floor with him was more akin to a Sinnohnian brute like himself, but by the end of the battle it didn't matter. The league scored big, with this girl, considering that Johto really didn't have much to be proud of when it came to their league. A little girl that had a Miltank, the first time one he had ever seen in battle, other than the ones used for the sole purpose of making milk at those ranches. A Pokemon that was not only rarely found in the wild, but difficult to control, allegedly having a similar temperament that of a Tauros. But this Miltank was fully dedicated to her trainer. The bond was there. He had a bond with his Pokemon too, but that didn't help. He tried to think the power of love and friendship and all that bullshit between his partners would help, along with that pickaxe pin on his jacket. Didn't do him any good. At least her gym trainers appeared apologetic. But who the hell knew that Miltank could be so strong in a battle? Her tactics were cunning and calculative. Making his Pokemon flinch when it was stomped on, making his Pokemon infatuated with the ugly wretched cow, and when his Pokemon did manage to get a hit, Miltank would shrug it off by her damn milk drink healing it up again. Then it would rollout. Again. And again. And again which was why she was grinning and he left the gym not with a badge but his team a guaranteed three day stay at the Pokemon center.

Summary:

The anime's purpose was to show Ash wanting to be the very best like no one ever was, and how the people in his life had done nothing but support him along the way. Immediately disregard this, because this is how to write an Ash Betrayal fic, and when you're writing an Ash Betrayal fic, you must have all of these companions flat-out despise him.

Ash Betrayal Fics - As fanfiction authors love to tell it.

[sinnohelitefourlore]

the men of the sinnoh elite four are absolutely whipped for their partners.

no really, they are.

lucian and flint will tease aaron for being so whipped for gardenia like if she simply breathes aaron will be all :D but those two have no room to talk.

flint will send volkner texts at 12am being like

flint: babe what ever i did i’m sorry

flint: volk please.

flint: answer :(

And lucian’s such a “Yes dear?” whenever cynthia needs something. if she rambles about mythology he will sit and listen for hours with a smile on his face.

The League Chronicles reached 200k words! (link below)

After 39 chapters, I really wanted to celebrate this milestone of thanking each and every one of you for reading my story and leaving comments, kudos, and bookmarks. A project so far I'm working on, which I am hoping is an "Ode to the NPCs" of the gym leaders, elites, and champions of Kanto through Unova. 39 chapters published so far, will go up to 70 chapters cycling each elite/gym leader with an ongoing plot and world-building throughout the years, and will go through the league's POV of what goes on during the games. This will focus more-so on how the elites and gym leaders get their roles in the league, their backstories, and their relationships with each other. In case you wanted to have a look at it if you're seeing this for the first time, here's the synopsis:

Summary:

One could be chosen to be a member of a League in their respective region for many reasons. Some planned on it. Some did not. Plenty were kind. Several were nasty. Most of them were somewhere in-between. These are the stories behind the elites and gym leaders of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova - and how they achieved greatness. Will go in chronological order of when they received their titles.

or: The leagues were competitive with each other. This system was created long ago to ensure "friendly competition" so that another world region war wouldn't break out between each other like the last time. The Indigo League starts as the best. Unova's education system is nothing to joke about. Hoenn couldn't give less of a damn. Sinnoh's considered a laughingstock with nothing to lose. But as the years go by and things start to change, their competition becomes not-so-friendly. Generational trauma doesn't simply go away. It stays buried deep down, but stirs slowly, and before you know it, the five leagues are like a barrels of gunpowder, ready to burst.

These aren't just one-shots. Since it goes into chronological order, the elites of Indigo, Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Unova as well as other gym leaders will make appearances in a single league member's chapter, depending on the league. Will go through the games events.

More things you can expect:

Competitiveness between the leagues of Indigo (with Johto), Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova.

Morally grey elites and gym leaders. Gym leaders and elites given more personality, an expansion on what we're given in the games. Will also leave little to the imagination on how a bunch of ten-year-olds had to save the day.

Agatha's struggle to gain power as a new elite, something that changes as the years go by and how she becomes that of a legend in the leagues.

Sinnoh with an underdog story, dubbed as the worst in battling, until Bertha walks into the Sinnoh league as the first female league member, which inspires a young Cynthia to become the first female champion in history.

Backstories about the gym leaders and elites, each character getting a chapter to themselves while still having an ongoing plot of the competition, as these are not just one-shots of each character. Each character is cycled every chapter to keep the story going.

Mentorships between characters, such as Agatha and Lance, Bertha and Lucian, Juan and Wallace, to name a few.

Friendships between characters in the same league, found family, and a bit of romance that's touched upon.

Rivalries between characters from differing leagues, and sometimes, it's not friendly at all.

How elites obtain legendary status and influence throughout the years.

Tensions slowly building between the regions as the competition begins to change.

The Legend of Flint Brinton. One of those stories that in later years the Sinnohnian people would tell over and over. They would never get tired of telling it, and people would never get tired of hearing it. A redheaded boy who's heart burned with passion for battles as he went from the streets to the suites, one of the many league tales of rags-to-riches, the gutter to the goldmines, the bottom to climbing his way up to success. A boy who found the beauty in his homeland, the Sinnoh motherland, even if he had come from the grittiest of places, still, he found beauty in it. The story of a boy with nothing but a dream, a dream that all the Sinnohnians shared, how he would do anything for that and more. The Sinnohnians knew that Flint would die for Sinnoh, do anything for it, and that was nothing short of admirable. How he used everything in his power as an elite for a better Sinnoh, now and forever. How many elites in history could say that they had a rock album dedicated to them? Not many. In fact, Flint was the only one that could. The Sinnohnians were swept with his love for the nation, deeply moved, and loved him for it. Everyone in the Sinnoh region loved him, adored him, worshipped him. And yet if you asked trainers outside of Sinnoh their thoughts on Flint Brinton, one word would come to mind: Beast.

But Skyla didn't mean to do what she did. She was just testing out her plane. A piece of shit that's old as time, but it was hers. Unfortunately that plane in particular had an awful habit of using too much gas. She could comfort herself knowing that Winona Arini had made a similar mistake. The rumor was that when Winona was younger she had miscalculated how much gas was in her plane and had to land in Sootopolis City. Skyla's plane's gas dropped completely out of nowhere, and the plane had a rough landing into one of the trees in Nacrene City, not too far from its gym. It was by some Arceus damned miracle that nothing was on fire. At least that's what Lenora Fentisette told her. Skyla also was instructed by her grandfather to not fly at night. Though there were trainers that guarded the skies with a Braviary usually, to make sure the trainers were flying safely while also containing wild flying-Pokemon, there were far less sky trainers during that time. It was something that her grandfather had been trying to push for to prevent accidents. Something that Skyla knew her grandfather was going to have no problem getting through after what she just did. It was dark out, on that Saturday night, when Skyla decided to disobey her grandfather since he was going to go out to the bar the Whiskey League Quad went to, just for kicks. Probably to talk about how Skyla was too reckless, too madly in love with her supermodel girlfriend, and not as interested in Pokemon battles like her grandfather was. Okay, so maybe Skyla had proven her grandfather's point tonight, but Skyla believed that life was short. And that's when Lenora told her that it was possible that after what she did, her life could've been shorter. If Skyla was lucky, then her life wouldn't be cut short by her parents. Or worse, by her grandfather's wrath - which Skyla was sure she was going to face.

"Oh go shove that cologne up your-" Before Flint could finish his sentence, he and Volkner came face-to-face with a man with a sinister grin and a Houndoom by his side. Volkner's heart race sped up - it was the Proprietor, a man who was on the face of every WANTED poster in Sunyshore City, due to being a Pokemon poacher. Volkner glanced over to his companion, who seemed to have connected the dots as well. Neither of the three spoke for several seconds. "Aw man," groaned Flint, glaring at the Proprietor. "I wish I had a knife so I could cut your balls off like Bertha Morello did to Viper." Volkner rolled his eyes. "That's just a rumor, stop spreading that." "I swear it happened, she's a fucking gangster, I wouldn't put it past her. Anyway, my point-" Cling. Without even thinking, Volkner pulled out a pocket knife. This caused the Proprietor's eyebrows to rise in surprise. No one said anything for several seconds. "Motherfucker I didn't mean we'd actually cut his nuts off!" "You just said you wanted to!" The Proprietor exchanged an odd look with his Houndoom. "That was a hypothet... hypother... Arceus, Volkner what is wrong with you?" Volkner could only answer by shrugging.

In a Sinnoh League Meeting…

Volkner: I’m going to fake an epileptic seizure.

Flint: You’re not an epileptic.

Volkner: That’s why I said I was going to fake it.
