#Team Plasma Aldith

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

My sudden revival of the Siren!Grimsley AU, plus my sudden interest in pirates, makes me really want to make a Pokémon pirate AU.

Like, Colress ends up the captain of a really tiny* pirate ship and takes some of the crew of his previous employer (aka Ghetsis) with him.

Barret jokingly says they should call the ship the SS Leeky. (Because the ship unfortunately stinks of leeks. They eventually fix it. Eventually.)

Colress calls it The Narcissus instead. He's a truth seeker, and the narcissus (daffodil) is said to represent honesty and truth.

Aldith is the official quartermaster, but technically the crew shares that role because their squad is so tiny.

Weiss is the medic and cook. Schwarz is, technically, a mercenary, but he finds the unpredictable force of nature that is Colress really funny.

They accidentally fish up Grimsley, who's a siren. He ended up injured, so is stuck with them until he heals up.

He declares Colress the worst pirate he's ever met, and is more like the Gentleman Pirate. Colress thought it was a compliment at first, until Barret explained the Gentleman Pirate was allegedly REALLY bad at his job.

Colress and Grimsley have a sort of snarky, but curious relationship going on. They quite quickly warm up to each other, even if Grimsley still thinks Colress sucks at being a pirate.

*by "really tiny", I mean "hilariously tiny". Colress jokes it would be mistaken for a jolly boat, if not for its sails and figurehead! XD

I came up with this on the fly, really, so it's really unrefined and some things are likely to change and have additions.

I think I'll call it the Scholar Pirate AU. XP

I drew Schwarz and Weiss, so why not draw them as well?

Best Wishes! Team Plasma Appreciation Post

Not the best depiction of the team, but they did almost everything that they needed to do in a short amount of time while being central to an epic story arc (with Colress in particular owning the screen!)

Team plasma + Unova protags + my shitty silly oc + free bases custom sprites cuz I got the plastism

[darktr1nity]

some Cybele stuff, I hope her and her husband get hit by a truck

My idea for Cybele is that she is a coward who can't face any criticism and uses her power to hide from it. If Ghetsis is N's opposite in not wanting to change his ideals, Cybele is the opposite of N because she can't handle the truth (does that make any sense?)

She is technically a pokemon trainer, but doesn't actually fight most of the time, opting to command grunts (mostly Gwendolyn) to fight for her

“What is the meaning of all of this? I don't understand the sheer ferociousness and brutality. You are so driven to take over the world that any comprehension of what I'm aiming to do goes way over your head!” 

“Silence yourself, Colress. You are not in your frigate anymore, you're with us now at this moment. This is Team Spark Plasma. You will be helping us, and this is not a request. You will be providing us with the components and blueprints with your machinery that is capable of opening up wormholes. Places where legendary Pokemon can be discovered, your dimensional rift machines… All of it. I desire to understand all of it, and you will not have a choice in the matter.” 

“You want my wormhole and dimensional technology? My apologies, but I will not be providing those to you. What you will do with those is not really any of my concern, but I will not be helping your goals. Your goals would diminish the scientific discoveries of myself and others… I cannot rationalize this.” 

“As I have said, you do not have a choice in the matter. Aldith, Barret, bring him to the laboratory and get him started on building these machines. There should be no hardship… He knows what will be the consequence of not listening to my commands; more and more destruction is soon to follow.”

“Being on the Plasma Frigate despite being an Old Plasma grunt?

Well, I guess it’s everything I imagined….

It’s well guarded and the security is more strict than back at the Old Plasma Safehouse, It is easy to tell who’s the rebel faction and who’s the Pokémon welfare side and I am even allowed to take online classes at university here….

I’m still not allowed to wear the Neo Team Plasma uniform for safety concerns and risks of espionage due to Sage Ghetsis not taking any chances for a reason……

Even though not everyone is welcome towards me, I have grunts often criticize me because of me being in Lord N’s faction of Team Plasma…

I even was asked:

“Why would Grunt 627 date a treacherous ex-grunt like you?”

“Why does Lord Ghetsis let someone like you stay here?”

Aswell as told:

“We only have grunts from here to serve.”

“The rules here are stricter for you, especially for an Old Plasma grunt like you.”

But not everyone on the Frigate is like that, the female grunts in Abby’s dorm are very nice to me aswell as Aldith to some extent, but I don’t think Barret is more welcoming to an Old Plasma grunt…

The grunts in Abby’s dormitory despite them being skeptical of a male grunt in their dorm at first but when they found out about what happened to me, they went into protective mode in an instant and loved having me around.

So it isn’t all bad, I have Abby, T.K, Abby’s friends including Becky, my mother, Sages Zinzolin and Ghetsis aswell as Mr. Colress and my Eeveelutions…..” - Mark

How do you lose an undead ice dragon?

A really, really quick comic for my Achievements In Ignorance AU, featuring Aldith blowing her top, Barret freaking out, a very confused Rosa, Kyurem just chilling, and Colress being Colress. XD

Ghetsis can predict a lot of things.

Colress is not one of them.

It turns out that ignorance can be a powerful thing. Including granting you the ability to completely derail Plasma's plans by accident! XD

(For context, Colress never joined Team Plasma in this AU. He’s travelling around Unova for research, accidentally taking part in the League and sabotaging Plasma by accident instead. XD)

Thoughts? :)

How would you imagine Team Rainbow Rocket if it were to appear in a post-Journeys movie/special? For me, there wouldn't be any alternate evil team leaders involved. Instead, we'd have Giovanni, Matori, Gozu, Atilla, Hun, Pierce, Dr. Zager, Tabitha, Shelly, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Charon, Six Sages (Ghetsis would remain in prison), Aliana, Bryony, Celosia, Mable, Xerosic, Team Flare Admins, Team Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, and Flare grunts, Brodie, Aldith, Schwarz, Weiss, and Barret.

That would be great. But since the Mewtwo movie and Mewtwo Returns special the ones in charge of the anime don't use cannonical Teams as villains :(

Also the new writters doesn't seem to care much about events from the past. They had lots of missed opportunities in Journeys °^°

But, let's imagine it could happen. Possitive thinking ✨

Ash would return to Alola to visit his Alolan family and friends. All happy reunited, then BOOM. An explotion and mysterious grunts invade the Aether Foundation. Chaos y des-con-trooool ♫ ooh ♪ (muy pocos van a leer esto así que puedo escribir cualquier locura que se me cante)

Once the invaders flee and everything calms down, they check the damage. They seem to have stolen something... Faba looks scared and nervous but pretends everything is alright.

Then there is trouble in each of the 4 Alolan islands.

Teams Aqua and Magma (all the same as in the anime) in Akala island. Making plans in Brooklet Hill and the Volcano.

Team Plasma in Ula-Ula wanting to freeze the island.

Team Galactic in the almost empty Poni island.

Team Flare in Melemele. Maybe without Lyssandre because he is dead.

Team Rocket could be in Aether Foundation or the Ultra Space. Giovanni is the one organizing everything and stole blueprints from Faba. The one who tried to recruit but refused to participate.

Okay so- got bored and decided to use that incorrect quote generator with Team Plasma and omg I am losing it like whaajshusaakawjjw LMAO

[veterantrainerray]

Alright, here goes. I think I mentioned in passing once, but here’s the full story.

It wasn’t too long after I inherited the ranch. Half a year, give or take. Most of the family had gotten through most of the grievin’ and gone their separate ways. My sister’s off in Unova these days doin’ her own thing, my ma’s somewhere down in Galar still doin’ her best to look after the folks around her. Meanwhile I was tryin’ to figure out what to do with the land my family refused to give up. Couldn’t bear the thought of the place just goin’ overgrown and the critters that call it home left to their own devices. But I couldn’t give up training and battling neither. Ain’t sure when the idea struck me to start takin’ on students right here on the ranch, but by the end of that year I’d put out word on FlySpace and Acebook (which was a brand new website at the time.) I’d put flyers on every utility pole in Galar, just about. Even called the League to offer services, but they didn’t take interest till years later when my email crossed ex-Chairman Rose’s desk. That was right ‘round when he adopted Bede, see, and he was in the market for a private tutor to ensure he had the chops to ace Trainer School. But that’s a story for another time.

What I didn’t even dream of was gettin’ a hand-written letter from foreign royalty. Had a couple ‘o trusted young folk under his wing, Aldith and Barret, and three whose names I never actually learned. Wanted to see to it that the two got what it takes to step into battle if things got hairy, and the other three were to be trained to work as a team. Now, I had no idea why they were comin’ to some nobody on the backend of Galar for training royal agents. But when I ran a background check, the pedigree checked out. Kid had the records on file to have a claim to be king, and the advisor what wrote the letter was legitimate. So I agreed to take ‘em on. Said to send ‘em on over to the ranch as soon as they’re comfortable and I’ll start coaching.

Some of yall what paid attention to current events a handful of years back might recognize the names Aldith and Barret. Turns out, they were to be officers for that Team Plasma group that tried to stage a royalist-nationalist coup on the pretense of “liberating” Pokemon. And the other three were apparently known by the name “Shadow Triad.”

I only got through teachin’ the lot of ‘em the basics over a few days. All the while Aldith ‘n Barret were yammerin’ about how they were gonna make the world a better place. Affairs of the rich ‘n powerful, I figured. Seemed like they meant well at the time. The other three never showed me their faces without masks on an’ never spoke, but they listened to every word and took every lesson to heart. On the third or fourth day, though, I had interpol knockin’ on my door. Real brutish, aggressive sort started yellin’ accusations of runnin’ a terrorist training camp.

Now, as yall who followed me during the disaster at Blueberry Academy with the Skarmory know, Pyrite and Bruce take my safety pretty damn seriously. So when this guy grabbed my collar and tried to toss me to the ground, Bruce went and returned the favor unprompted. Pyrite and him handled both their Pokemon without breakin’ a sweat while I caught my breath. Now, I ain’t exactly one to get angry, but I gotta admit I was a mite peeved at these two, showin’ up at MY home and actin’ so rude. But clearly there was a misunderstandin’ at play here. So I… Politely… Invited the two inside to talk it out in a civil manner. My partners were a little less polite, if ya catch my drift. I put on a pot of tea, set out some of those little butter cookies, you know the ones, and asked them to start explainin’ what the heck they were on about.

Turns out it was my background checks on the client and the travel records what led them to me. And when they found the five members had skedaddled and left everything but the clothes on their backs, these “gentlemen” assumed right away I saw them comin’ and were hiding them somewhere. Then they started takin’ note of the training equipment I’d set up earlier that mornin’. Showin’ them the letter and givin’ em the laptop to check all my communications got me more or less off the hook, but the bastards still got me on the person-of-interest list in regards to Team Plasma.

It didn’t take the media parasites long to pick up on an attempted interpol raid on Galar soil. You know how those types are. Facts and the like don’t matter at all to ‘em as long as they can stir up outrage and get a decent news story out of it. All anyone in Galar saw on the news for about three weeks was talk of terrorists on Galarian soil and my name bein’ spat like I were some kinda villain.

A slander lawsuit got ‘em to stop and funded the rest of the fences and training equipment on the ranch, but the damage was done. Ain’t nobody in my home country trusted a damn thing I said anymore. Only the folks I dealt closely with often believed me over the roar of public opinion.

For a while, once in a blue moon some disgruntled “Patriot” would show up and try to cause me trouble, spittin’ bile all the while. Ain’t none of them could handle a Rhyperior what was done with their nonsense from the get-go, but it was still a depressing nuisance.

A couple of years later, I got an email from ex-Chairman Rose. Started goin’ down to his estate on weekends to coach his adopted son, did that for a whole summer. Rose was mighty pleased with the kid’s progress, and offered me a contract with the Galar League Association. A contract that’s been renewed ever since and is in place to this very day. I know folks are sour about Rose, but I can’t rightly hate the man. His support was what turned my life back around and put me on track again. After all, folks can only hate the guy coachin’ all their favorite gym leaders in the off season for so long before they start to wonder if he’s really all that bad. Took a few years and Milo graciously havin’ me as a guest of honor at his gym as a commentator for the TV station before folks really came around though.

So… Yeah. That’s the story. Maybe not nearly as excitin’ as I’m sure some of yall were hoping for, but a pretty shameful misstep in my career all the same. Heck, some of yall might even remember my name being in the papers at the time. I’d wager not though, since nobody’s gone and asked about it till now.

The lesson here is, if somethin’ seems off, such as someone who has no reason to contact you for your services going out of their way, something is probably off. In this case, them only choosing me because of the isolated location and the nature of their future plans. Always be extra thorough when vetting anything; a cursory background check ain’t telling the whole story.

Aight tell yall what. I got here a list of stories I ain’t keen to share under most circustances ‘cept after a stiff drink, and I haven’t had any alc in eight years.

To celebrate there bein’ a hundred plus of yall following me now, I’m gonna put these to a vote. The winning one will be told right here on this blog for the world to see. No details spared.

Go ahead ‘n reblog if ya want to get more folks weighing in on it.

“Aldith and Barret, two of the elite grunts, I don’t actually get to interact with them often and I don’t have a lot of memories interacting with me, I think they know I’m Hugh’s younger sister so that’s probably why….

Barret is not used to being around me and is somewhat hostile to Mark, Aldith got used to it enough and is often nice enough to Mark.

I don’t see them very often at all….Barret does come into the infirmary however….

Ghetsis, Team Plasma’s boss, he and Abby are in fairly close contact so I see him quite often, He’s known for being extremely ruthless albeit very apathetic…

He’s also a common infirmary patient so that’s another reason why I see him very commonly, He comes for F2440 and hemophilia shots.

His Hydreigon is my Deino’s father, so Frieden was originally his by a Unovan breeding law.

He looks even annoyed when the subject of my Purrloin’s theft is brought up, Abby later told me it’s because the only reason he remembers it is because Donna and Cletus never shut up about it, Can’t say I blame him….

I even overheard him tell Wesker ‘I wish I never met or known you’….

He also does NOT like my brother, Nate or Rosa, he even makes it very clear neither me or Mark are to assist them except when healing Pokémon, They took Mark out of the Frigate and he started freaking out about it.

Colress, He’s busy most of the time but when I do interact with him, He usually asks me about my brother, Nate or Rosa, He even told me he thought Donna and Cletus’ grudge against me over Frieden and Wesker was ridiculous….I never thought I’d agree with this man…

Rebecca, one of the grunts that befriended Mark was one of the few grunts other than Abby and T.K to a lesser extent I like interacting with, she’s very kind and loves K-pop music.

She has Deino of her own so she has been an excellent help with Frieden, Even Mark’s mom gets on with her…

Alicia, T.K and Abby’s friend is also very helpful, She’s a bit headstrong but she means well.

She actually is responsible for keeping me and Donna and Cletus apart, sometimes this doesn’t always work….

She’s also responsible for Mark alongside Beckie if he’s outside the Plasma Frigate, Ghetsis, Zinzolin and Colress only allowed Mark for a time to be accompanied by female grunts and is only to stay in a female only cabin…

Zinzolin, one of the sages, He’s a cold individual, despite saying he hates snow and ice, He’s got two Cryogonal and a Weavile…which is a bit strange, He gets on very well with Abby, T.K and Mark, He’s also the closest Meili, T.K’s daughter has to an actual grandparent, especially because her actual grandparents are horrible people.

He’s also pretty apathetic towards my brother, Nate and Rosa…

N, Old Plasma’s de facto leader, He used to be Team Plasma’s King during OG Plasma before the split, Abby told me lots about him, He and Mark get on very well.

He’s also very remorseful for Team Plasma stealing Wesker as part of the organization’s very first liberation, Me and him get on well.

Unlike Ghetsis’ ‘I wish I never known or met you’ to Wesker, N does his best to make it up to him, he even helps me with Frieden too, He was a bit shocked seeing Mark on the Frigate and even more shocked at Ghetsis’ near violent protectiveness of him.

He also told me if once I chose Frieden’s nickname, It cannot be changed, It’s because of the law I mentioned.

He also got dismayed at Donna and Cletus refusing to change their opinion of me at all, especially because of his remorse for what happened to me and Hugh….” - Hana

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

Colress: Do you need anything from the shop?

Aldith: Actually, yes. I have a list.

Colress, reading said list: Epsom salts, coconut oil, baking soda, cornstarch, lavender essential oils. . . Citric acid. . . ?

Aldith: I'm making homemade bath bombs.

Colress: Smokeless gunpowder?!

Aldith: I want to do it right!
