[quibbs126]

So today I decided to just draw a bunch of Des’s spouses according to other people on here, as well as my own

I wanted to draw them interacting, but I wasn’t sure what to have them talking about. Originally it was gonna be Eternal Diva (since I’ve seen redraws of screenshots with two of them) only to realize the other two wouldn’t know anything about that time. Maybe I’ll draw them interacting some other time

Also I know that there are more spouses for Des around here, these are just the four I know much about

But I do very much enjoy these guys. I may wish that Level 5 told us more about Des’s family in canon, but I can’t complain about the interpretations people have made for them in their stead

Artemis belongs to @mortallychaotickingdom

Christine Jetpardon/Olivia Sycamore belongs to @sunnyskies281

Oscar belongs to @teenytinyapprentice

Eileen belongs to me!

*(Also, to clarify with Eileen since I realize I haven’t really explained her all that well, I’m saying that back in the day, she did a lot of crimes and had a similar personality to what Descole had, but without the empathy (I assume) he has. Also the mechanical skills or theatrics (she has stage fright); basically if Descole was much smaller scale. Basically she was the one to get Desmond into doing crimes, but over the course of her time with him, she learned to be better and feel empathy for other people, with him as her moral compass. I don’t talk much about her and her personality mainly because I haven’t really pinned it down and I’m still not sure what to do with her)

(Also she has a body count. She does not feel guilty about this)

Characters that I'm surprised don't have more alts, either for popularity in the fanbase, or just since they feel like they would be easily marketable or could be teamed up with other Pokemon too. (Tho I expect Lusamine/Nihilego and finally Gladion/potentially Guzzlord for the upcoming Alola Villain arc.)

Grimsley is an honorable mention: he already has three variants. Since his design is partially based on Dracula, I feel he'd be a perfect candidate for a Halloween alt. (Piers and Karen would be great choices too, she only has a non-costumed alt at the moment.) Bianca also feels like she'd be perfect for a spring or summer alt, or even a Palentine's Day one.

pokémon au drabble….. i’ve been having some thoughts

around 1900 words!

An Eelektross sinks its head back into the murky water of the Kalosian sewer. It wasn’t the best place to swim, but it was somewhere, and its slick green skin blended in perfectly with the algae.

It saw its target, and it had to go back and report.

Lucielle Lakes was staring dead straight at her partner Dewott. It stands between her legs, looking right up at her as she sits on the Lumiose street bench. The tree above them casts the already teal otter into a more greenish shade, and it blinks a few times, all before a smile spreads on its snout.

Lucy had blinked first, she lost the game. She a back with her own smile, beginning to laugh. “I’m sorry, buddy!” She chuckled, before helping it hop up to her side.

Dewott grabs onto the shoulder of her sweater vest, its little claws digging into the soft, flower patterned yarn. She had turned her head to rummage through her messenger bag, before pulling out what looked like a small lunch box.

She opened it, and there was Dewott’s prize! Next to a slew of berries were a few Poké Puffs, two matcha and one mocha. The chocolate one was decorated with cream and sprinkles, and Dewott almost immediately grabbed at it.

“Woah! Hey- Slow down!” Lucielle scolds, putting her hand in front of his paws. Her partner scowls, before flexing its claws as she slowly and purposely takes the puff out slowly.

The moment she placed it in his outstretched paws, the dessert was gone in seconds. She smiled, why wouldn’t she? Living in Lumiose city had its cons, but the atmosphere was far from one of those. People of all sorts were walking by, some of their Pokémon tagging along. Colorful buildings towered over the streets, bustling shops lining the floors. The sky was clear, the breeze was cool, everything was perfect.

But there was so, so much more going on. Team Flare failed their mission, Lysandre went missing, they never even properly established themselves. All due to another company rising, Alchemax. They tried to keep their name in good faith, no ideals for wiping out the world, nor irreversible climate change. Just looking into harnessing the natural powers of Pokémon, for the “betterment of humanity,” and… Something else. Something only the Kingpin and a few higher admins knew the full extent of.

An older woman stands less than a block away, her back against a tree that stands as a gateway to one of many labyrinthine alleyways. She stands out among most people, big curly brown hair tied up into a bun, a paisley patterned scarf over a two toned dress, all tied together with a crisp white lab coat. It billows behind her, its vent cut and decorated with a green satin lining. She steps forward, slithering between pedestrians in silence.

Lucielle had perked up, and turned her head when she saw the woman approach. She gave a smile, just thinking the scientist would walk past, even when Dewott flattened its ears in frustration. But she seems a bit worried when the other slows.

“Do I know you?” The older woman says mid-stride, one of her gloved hands tracing the top of the bench.

Lucy just blinked a few times and turned where she sat, as if it took her a second to process an answer. “Me? I’m not sure how anyone could recognize me,” She stammers. “I mean, I was in one of those videos with Sycamore,”

The scientist practically glares down at Lucy, one of her brows rising as her lips curl. “That’s it! Thaaat’s it,” She says, drumming her fingers on the bench before looking down to Dewott instead. The otter’s snout had shifted into a snarl, and Lucielle follows Olivia’s gaze to it. “Lucy, right?”

“Oh! Don’t mind him,” She says quickly, wrapping her arms around him as if he were just a large plush toy. “But yes, yes that’s me! Wait, you were at the lab too, right?”

“Doctor Olivia Octavius, and yes,” She answers, extending a hand to shake. Lucy takes it quickly, a sweet smile on her face.

“A doctor? It’s such a pleasure to meet you! I really wanted to say something to you last weekend, you spoke to the professor, right? Did he give me a good name?”

Olivia has to hold back a small chuckle, and her steely gaze softens as they shake hands. “Come on, the pleasure is all mine. You should’ve heard his praise. For a researcher like myself, it’s always wonderful to see an up and coming graduate.”

Olivia lets go first, and while Lucy seems reluctant, she does as well. Her eyes are locked on the other woman, her sharp features, those striking eyes framed by a large pair of glasses. She has to snap herself out of it once Olivia speaks again.

“Have you been enjoying your research? And how have you been getting by?”

Clearly, the question shocked Lucy, coming from a near stranger.. But Olivia was close to Sycamore, it wasn’t too out of the blue. “Oh! Well, I’ve got a position at a boutique on my street, and, genuinely,” She leans back a bit, “And my research? Wow, just, I could never be happier in a position. There’s something so reassuring seeing just how connected these little guys are to nature, like us connecting to them can bring us closer to, well, everything.”

The doctor nods a few times, before rounding the bench. Her gaze was soft, she’d never seen someone else with such a bright view of the world, and as Lucy pats the Dewott, she can’t help but smile. Lucielle’s partner Pokémon does not seem to appreciate the movement, as the claws of one paw tap the pale pink scallop at his hip. She frowns faintly, and pulls the little guy over her lap and to the other side.

Olivia nods down to the bench, a silent gesture of “May I?” And just as anyone would expect, Lucielle nods quickly and moves her bag. The doctor hums when she flattens her dress to sit, and she smiles at Lucy when she fixes the back of her lab coat.

She opens her mouth to speak, before her eyes widen a little, and she looks away to Prism Tower. If she wanted to do her job, to be “evil”, now was the time. As it grew, Alchemax would need more associates, and as the head scientist, Olivia felt that it was her responsibility. Yet this was the first time she ever felt conflicted. She drapes her arm over the back of the bench, her lips pursing as she thinks. Should she just go out and say it? Invite the lady to the lab, try to employ her right there? But it was odd, she wasn’t used to liking someone… Especially not this quickly, she didn’t want to be horribly blunt about her motives.

She shakes her head, almost unnoticeably, but the faint movement causes Lucy to look back and notice a few strands of violet in that bundle of hair. She crosses her legs and looks over to Lucy.

After a tense moment, Lucielle is the one to talk, her eyes on Dewott, who had been snuggling up into her arm. “Well… How’s your work?”

Olivia’s eyes widen, she was usually the interrogator. She sits up and kicks her boot a little. “It’s good, it’s all good. Not sure why you’d be wondering though.”

Lucielle shrugs. “It’s a neat place, once I get my coastal Pokédex more fleshed out, I’d like to look into working there.”

“Coastal? Why not central first? Are you a beach girl?” Olivia turns to face Lucy more, barely leaning closer to rest under the shade of the tree. She didn’t choose to pry into Lucy’s future, there was a genuine sense of wonder in her voice.

“You can say that, the first Pokémon I ever met was a Corsola… The sweetest little staghorn morph, I think I was five? Not sure, but since then I adored water types.”

Olivia nodded along, nonchalantly fiddling with her gloves. “That’s actually very nice.” She says quietly, before turning to Dewott. “And this darling? How in the world did you come across a shiny?”

Dewott perked up when he heard his name, and Olivia smiled when she saw the otter peek his head over Lucielle’s shoulder. “This little buddy? His egg was a gift from my grandparents, they helped run the daycare down by Camphrier. The original owner moved to Paldea, left a few eggs and a few hundred dollars, guess they didn’t know what was in them.”

As Lucy spoke, her partner sniffed at the air, at the faint metallic smell around Olivia. He steps forward, placing his little paws on one of Lucy’s thighs, leaning closer to the doctor like a curious kitten. Olivia reaches out her hand, barely extending a finger for the Pokémon to sniff it. Lucy laughs a little, and her smile brightens when Dewott actually climbs over her lap to get closer.

“I’m impressed you recognized him! Was it the shells?” Lucy chimes.

“Not really, just the fur,” Olivia answers calmly, before gently stroking the otter’s furry cheek. “I have a shiny partner of my own, it’s beautiful how different each individual can be.”

“You do?! How’d you find them?”

Olivia laughs along, it had been a bit since she actually talked to anyone. “I was around your age, a bit younger, but just out of general college. The lab I interned at was testing the potential of electric types as a power source, and it just so happened that one of them was just a little bit darker than the rest.”

Thankfully, Dewott was warming up to his new friend, and Lucielle tapped her leg on the pavement as she watched the two. She didn’t have anywhere to be that morning, and had no idea where the time went. Not that she was complaining.

“It’s so interesting, isn’t it?” Lucy says after a few seconds of quietly observing.

“I know I’m supposed to ask, so I’ll give you this.. What’s interesting?” Olivia snickers, her eyes narrowing a little.

“How different everyone is, everything. And we all fit in even if we think we don’t.”

The doctor blinks a few times, wiping that smug look off her face. The last thing she expected to hear was this girl spit out some philosophical nonsense, but she nodded, and played along. “And just how do we fit in?”

“We fit together, you helped me have something to do this morning, you gave Dewott those ear scratches he’d been begging for.” The otter makes a small chittering sound as Olivia shifts. “You sounded interested in me, and this was our chance to meet. I’m just glad we took it.”

The doctor brought her hand back, causing Dewott to open his eyes and sit back down on the bench, his tail swishing. “Huh…” She leans her head back, looking into the stark blue sky as her hair cascaded over her back. Although she couldn’t truly forget, her mind was off work for the first time in weeks. “That’s sweet, Lucy. You’re sweet.”

They both smiled, and when Olivia straightened back up, Lucielle responded. “Says you!”

Can I

PLEASE

Have more stoner ash headcanons pls

absolutely you can!! stoner Ash is my shit. I'm also adding my Ta!Au to this because thats my og stoner Ash.

Cilan is the first one to introduce Ash after he fucks around in a very muddy pond and finds out that he shouldn't do that after getting his ass kicked by a Seismitoad.

it's one of the most comfortable experiences Ash has ever had. his brain was quite, he didn't feel the need to run everywhere or be the first in anything, and he could ignore the pain from the multitude of bruises.

Cilan made an extra big dinner that night, as he didn't know if Ash would get the munchies or not

spoiler: he did and asked for snacks directly after dinner.

Ash is of age for Unova's marijuana laws so he follows after Cilan to a dispensary where the older boy imparts some hella wisdom onto him.

they take like a full hour of just looking around before they even considering buying anything. the guy a the cashier register kinda hates them but understands that Ash is new to this whole thing

"why do you know all about this?" "I'm the youngest child of triplets and we run a gym and a restaurant together at the same time." "... fair enough"

Cilan is a lot more open and sassy in general when he's not sober so it was fun going to a restaurant and just letting Cilan mutter some hot shit about the cutlery, the other customers, how the building isn't up to code. you name it.

edibles also quickly become Ash's favorite thing after he gets the best night of sleep he's had in a very long time.

Kalos was a fun time.

not really.

it was weird to heart Bonnie and Clemont almost... idolize him as he's smoking a blunt around the corner before they head into the Pokémon center or the hotel for the night.

it got even harder for him to get into the Kalosian dispensary's because Bonnnie was eager to stick by Ash's side and Clemont wasn't going to let his little sister out of his sight.

he managed, somehow.

Serena as a whole was a very touch and go situation for a while.

she grew up in a very purist type home so she was shocked and disgusted that Ash would even consider smoking in general.

let alone the devil lettuces

Ash couldn't give a Rattata's ass but stayed respectful to Serena's wishes on not wanting to see Ash do it while she's around him

the problem? she very rarely seemed to leave his side.

Professor Sycamore hooked him up with some homemade edibles that he made at his own personal lab, not the one he uses for actual regional professor shit.

it's actually funny because a lot of Kalosian officials smoke or do edibles and it takes everything in Ash not to cackle violently when he finds out.

it was really weird to be in a group passing a blunt between him, Professor Sycamore, Steven, and Alain.

it is still, to this day, the most chaotic group of stoners Ash has ever been in.

Kukui is very open about being a stoner towards Ash after he finds out that he does it as well. using the breadbox as his stash location that Ash totally doesn't steal an edible from time to time.

it quickly becomes a ritual that they get high together at least once per weekend.

it was an experience and a heart attack at once when Burnet walked in on them mid bowl. Kukui ended up cooking until he was about to pass out and Ash nocked his head against the doorway from just how high he jumped. He’s around 6’-ish or a little less.

She asked if she could join them next time.

It was just the trio for a while before Olivia would randomly pop up.

It was HELLA weird the first few times, as Ash and her didn’t along for a while. Eventually they agreed not to speak about what happened on her island and to not be so pissed at each other as well.

True neutrality between those two.

There has not been one day on Alola that Ash has actually felt at peace. The kids torment him on and off the clock, so a lot of times he’s forced out into public by them while fucking gone.

Ash doesn’t know how he survives but it feels like a heart attack the entire fucking time.

He’s grumpy and hangery and Ash has Lillie, Mallow, and Lana pulling him around young teen jewelry and clothe shops.

His style of clothing is completely different from the girls. They got their color and the teenage girl charm but Ash is a mix of streatwear and pajama’s.

meeting Viren while costing off the high from the night before was Weird.

10/10 would beat his ass without hesitation, this is’t really a stoner one but just principle.

[sunnyskies281]

@101flavoursofweird so I heard you want more of an explanation for my Christine Jetpardon au! Your wish is my command!

(Trigger warnings: Child murder)

Introducing TAT, aka Trio Against Targent!

Christine Jetpardon (real name: Olivia Sycamore)

Wife of Desmond Sycamore, she was kidnapped by Leon and a bunch of his Targent goons. For 5 years, she was trapped in the nest, the threat of Leon killing her daughter hanging over her head.

But when she learned that actually, her child was killed the moment she stepped foot on nest soil, Olivia cuts her 5 years of hair growth off and carefully weaves the mess into a rope whip, which she uses to aid in her escape.

Now, free of the nest, she needs a cover identity. She learned of this masked figure who tried to destroy Misthallery with a giant mecha, and she investigates.

“Jean Descole” oh that’s definitely her husband. She even recognizes the model and make of the mask he wears. And the boa- wait that was hers!

If her husband was gonna have a fake french name that is also an apology, she’s gonna have a fake French name that’s about forgiveness. Also it was gonna be a phantom of the opera reference because she’s as much a theater nerd as him if not more.

And speaking of Descole stealing stuff from his presumed dead wife, Christine learns that along with her boa, he’s stealing her half-finished manuscript to turn into an opera! And speaking of the opera,

Melina Harmony (Real name: Janice Quatlane)

Janice originally didn’t know what to think about her shared identity with Melina, but like what’s more gay than literally being your own girlfriend. If it weren’t for the detregan, she wouldn’t have been able to give Melina a proper send off. Without Descole, Ambrosia wouldn’t have been discovered. And while she hates what Descole did to others, she can’t really say he’s done much harm to her.

Janice ends up accidentally seeing something she shouldn’t, which is an unmasked Christine tending to a fallen Descole’s wounds after the detragiant collapses. She immediately recognizes Christine as the one and only Olivia Sycamore, and goes to confront her.

Olivia explains her theory (well, you can’t really call it a theory when it’s been proven true) that Descole is in fact her husband, but she never says her husbands name. Oh and Raymond is there too because Descole is super injured.

Janice says she wants to help, because nobody should have to lose who they love the most, and she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to pay Descole back for all he’s done for her and Melina’s family.

And to keep her girlfriend’s legacy living on, she takes her first name for a pseudonym, and becomes Melina Harmony.

Pollonium Karma (real name: Leonard Bloom)

Despite what he might say to his boss Leon, Bloom’s heart doesn’t belong to work, it belongs to one Jean Descole. Or at least it did before Miracle Mask happened and Descole disappeared.

That’s right! Bloom and Des are exes!

Which is quite awkward because Christine is still technically married to Des.

Bloom is just chilling in the Monte d’Or city hall one day during the events of Miracle Mask when Christine barges in, grabs his arm, and yanks him into a secluded alleyway outside.

Christine then proceeds to beat the everloving SHIT outta bloom. Bloom is naturally confused, at least until Christine mentions “targent” and he realizes where he saw her before.

This little scuffle ends with Bloom agreeing to not tell anyone about Christine still being alive if Christine agrees to not hurt him again. Christine agrees.

After miracle mask, Christine visits his office one day with an offer of alliance and Bloom lets it slip he slept with her husband.

So… Uhh… Christine isn’t too stoked about that.

But they eventually agree to work together to help take down Targent, with Bloom being a double agent. And with this comes his new name: Polonium (which is deadly) Karma (which is also deadly)

And together these three make the TAT

(Randall and Raymond also help out some but they aren’t part of the main trio)

[charity-layne]

Hi! I came here from Olivia's blog. Please don't throw me into the Thames, this is a different Clive- you can call me Alba.

So, heard you're stuck in America. How's that going?

( @good-timeline-clive )

Hello there, Other Clive! I’m Charity Layne-Tess, nice to meet you! I’m Desmond Sycamore’s assistant and constant annoyance.

Yeah, my family and I somehow managed to get stuck in the mall of America. At least we aren’t trapped in Michigan anymore. Being able to talk to dead people really has its perks.

[zip-toonz]

Teehee... so remember the XY character family headcanon post you made awhile back? Care to elaborate on anything there, like how certain members feel about each other or the shenanigans they get up to if there’s family reunions?

This is very vague bc I actually. Can’t find the post and only remember the “Trevor’s mom is/was a plasma grunt and his uncle is Lysandre” part so hey feel free to go wild with any of them!! Any info for any characters you wanna give atm!!!

YOU WOULD NOT BELIVE THIS BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT TREVORS FAMILY TODAY ACTUALLY.

Here's some of the family dynamic Ideas I have actually thought about. Also!!! Credit where credit is due @citrongarde is the inspiration for Lysander being related to Trevor

Trevor: (Most of his family members were chosen based on either Hair color (like Milo) or Physical resemblances (Like Wikke (Big hair similar eye shape)

Trevor doesn't know a lot of his family well. Not until he starts traveling outside of Kalos. Ive had the idea that he ends up living with his Uncle Milo when visiting Galar in the back of my mind for ages now. He struggles with learning Galarian english mainly because his Kalosian accent is very very strong. He ends up hanging out with Shauna's cousin Hop a lot. (Shauna on the otherhand is surprisingly fluent with Galar English because she and Hop have been calling since they were kids.)

Finding out Lysander was his uncle scarred him for life. Like...THAT DUDE TRIED TO KILL HIS FRIENDS AND HES RELATED TO HIM!? (even worse is when he finds out about his Mom)

For the SV au His aunt Miriam is keeping an eye on him and his friends. He's very fond of her cause she's so normal in comparison to his Mom and Uncle.

Sycamore is basically his surrogate dad. He has slipped up and called him dad much to his dismay. Sycamore however never makes fuss about it because he's been keeping an eye on them (Him and his sister) since his parents left so its only natural Trevor starts to associate him as a parental figure. (also sycamore has for sure nearly cried over it before)

His real dad is MIA as in not even his mother knows where he is. His dad is where his sister gets her blond hair and is the link that makes Bianca his cousin. (Debating on if his dad gets to be a normal guy or another villain or not ill get back to you on that)

Shauna: (Shauna is so mixed to me I will die on this hill. My credentials is I'm mixed and massively projecting.)

as stated above Shauna loves her cousins Hop and Leon and has gone to visit them before. They're on her mothers side of the family

She's the most fluent in multiple languages in her friend group because of her family's diversity and her actually interacting with most of them in one way or another.

on the opposite hand she cant stand Illima and would fist fight him on sight. She adores her Aunt Olivia though. Illima is more distantly related than Hop and Leon are

Her Uncle Jacq is her favorite and in the SV au she insists Trevor talk to him about Pokemon to compare notes. Hes her fathers brother so she got to see him a lot.

[skyliv]

part two… i don’t have any words other than this one is really self indulgent but hey! everything on this account is!

words: around 2250

It was bright inside Alchemax, like all the fluorescent lights were on a constant state of overdrive. Although there were a few other skyscrapers on the edges of Lumiose city, this one stood out, with an almost entirely glass exterior and its massive nameplate.

Lucielle stepped in almost silently, a familiar Pokémon trailing right at her feet. There was even a security guard right at the door, a tall man built like a boulder. His pale skin seemed grey in the sharp lights, or maybe it was the contrast from his dark suit, and he didn’t move at all when he saw Lucy.

Maybe she got clearance from the higher ups.

The main lobby was gorgeous, some of the walls lined with potted plants, round tables around those, all leading to a welcoming desk, just like a hotel. A well sized, yet comfortable food court fills the space behind it to one side, and a few doors on the other side lead to the elevators.

Tell the worker why you’re there and get the pass to the lower floors, that’s all that runs through Lucielle’s mind as she steps up. Although she was nervous, the faint tug of her skirt by Dewott caused her to look down, and he definitely helped her clear her mind.

The worker seems impressed when Lucy brings up her business with doctor Octavius, they mutter something about good luck under their breath before passing her a temporary keycard, one adorned with the company logo.

She fit into the place quite well, a partner at her side and the fashion sense of someone who would go to a library for fun. Many of the scientists going about their day don’t even pay her a second glance, maybe if they’re confused why she doesn’t have proper gear, but not for anything else. She catches glimpses of many Pokémon as she strolls to the elevator, and even when she exits it. An impressive array of electric and steel types, from simple groups of Magnemite hovering over the shoulders of a group to a massive Electivire powering an odd machine. She calls Dewott back into his Pokéball, just in case… For lab safety.

The bottom third floor, Lucielle didn’t even know that the building stretched that far. A few doors down on her floor, and the place practically goes silent. Each large lab room is built around the halls, fitting perfectly as she attempts to navigate. But thank goodness the doctor’s door is marked. Not by much, two metal octagons hanging on either frosted glass door, but they’re there nonetheless. She could swear she saw shadows inside as well.

Lucielle gently knocked, only twice, before clasping her hands in front of her stomach. She was there on time, a few minutes early actually, but she still felt her stomach in knots. Sycamore said this was important, but by how much?

Her knock is answered in a matter of seconds, by the doctor herself allowing the doors to slide open. Olivia’s movements were already smooth, but she looked like she was going to burst with enthusiasm.

“Miss Lakes!” Olivia exclaimed, outstretching her arms. She’s in a different outfit than the usual dress under her lab coat, a complex, black… Latex suit..? It’s outfitted with light translucent green plates over her chest and shoulders, and other than a metallic corset hooked up with wires and olive shorts, it’s all the same black sheen. The lab behind her was just how anyone would expect her office, cluttered in some places but perfect for her. More sentimental items lined bookshelves on the far side, and tons of equipment found their homes on the other counters against the walls. Other than a few full tables, her glass desk, a large metal chair, and some stools laid about. “Come in!”

The odd thing is that this wasn’t even their second meeting. Lucielle had scheduled everything, from cafe visits to a hike on Route 14, even to an aquarium visit in Ambrette, she had opened up quite a lot. “Doctor! This- This is your lab?!” She exclaimed as she stepped in.

It wasn’t even the place itself that impressed her, it was the few Pokemon that were at some stations in the back. As Olivia moved to nod, Lucielle stepped right past her with a bright grin.

To one side is a Zoroark, clearly not one Lucielle had ever seen. It stands taller than a Unovan one, and its fur is white as snow, with a few violet tufts swaying as it seems to take apart some small device. Behind it, at the far end of the lab, is Olivia’s Pokémon partner, a long Eelektross, asleep in… A big dog bed. A static sound resonates from it, and its body lies coiled around a computer, presumably powering it. Zoroark looked up, and before it can snicker like a hyena, Olivia steps up behind Lucy and recalls it back to a grey and green Pokéball.

“Sorry about her! She’s new,” The doctor exclaims with a nervous laugh, placing a gentle hand on Lucy’s shoulder as she shoves the ball back into her lab coat pocket.

“New? Clearly!” The researcher exclaims, having to hold her hands in front of her mouth. She turns to the Eelektross, before spinning to face Olivia and placing her tote bag on the closest lab table. “Oh we’ll have to have our teams meet each other! Ooh! Maybe a picnic one day! I think your Eelektross would just adore Skarmory, and maybe Zoroark could meet Dewott! Dew’s a bit headstrong, I’m sure Zoroark could teach him a thing or-“

Before Lucielle can ramble on any more, Olivia laughs, unintentionally cutting her off. The younger woman quickly purses her lips, and she feels her face warm up.

Between faint chuckles, Olivia speaks, “Dear, it’s alright! You didn’t have to stop! I didn’t have any plans for this meeting… You could go on for as long as you’d like!” She waves a hand dismissively, gesturing to the large metal chair in the middle of the room before making her way to her desk in front of it. As Lucy moves to sit, Olivia hops up to a spot on the edge of her desk, the only part that’s not cluttered, to sit herself.

“It’s ok, it’s ok! It isn’t a problem, I didn’t mean to ramble,” Lucielle says with a small laugh, shaking her hands a bit to calm herself down.

“It’s nice to hear someone else talk, though, you have no idea how much I’ve been shut down in the middle of presentations of all things! I don’t need you to feel the same.” Olivia states simply. The more they were together, the more of something Lucy noticed: that being just how expressive Olivia could get. Head movements, rolling her shoulders, to even the slightest movement of her hands, all of this helped the doctor keep herself focused on her topic.

It wasn’t the compliment that caught Lucielle off guard, but rather, “You’ve been stopped in your own presentations? That’s so rude! You’re the head scientist!”

Olivia tilts her head, a more concerned look on her face. “You definitely apologize too much,” something Lucielle has heard throughout her entire life, “I’m used to it, twenty years worth more than you too, it’s fine.”

Lucielle shifted in the seat, resting her head on one hand and tapping the other’s fingers on her knee. She keeps her eyes low, trying to think of something, anything. “But I can’t see why- Why would your colleagues look over your work? If I were the one being pushed aside, I could see that, but you..?”

Olivia straightens herself up, leaning back on one arm and nodding thoughtfully. “It’s my methods, they always say. My ideals.. I’ve been called mad more times than I can count!” There’s a split second of silence as she sighs. But, the breath devolves into another chuckle. “Would you agree with them?”

With her intent listening, Lucielle hadn’t noticed the Eelektross waking up. It was practically silent as it moved, save for the barest sound of its skin against the tile floor. Before she knew it, Olivia’s smile had shifted ever so slightly, as she raised her head and looked down upon the other woman with a bare hint of condescension.

In the span of a heartbeat, there’s a hand on Lucy’s shoulder, one that yanks her back and holds her there. She squeaked at the sudden feeling, and after that split second she realized what it belonged to, the very Pokémon she failed to notice. Three of Eelektross’s four claws dig into her collared shirt, threatening to puncture it and sink into her skin if she moved. The center of its “hand” almost feels like a suction cup, just solidifying its hold on her as it brings the other down to her free shoulder. She stiffens in her seat, a chill running up her spine as she freezes.

The eel Pokémon’s face barely enters her field of vision as she chirps out, “Wh- Why’s she awake now..?”

Olivia doesn’t make a move, only raising a brow and leaning forward with her hands together as if to push her last question further on Lucy, who freezes up like a deer in headlights.

“But no! Of course not! I mean, insanity could mean something different to them- And your work definitely doesn’t reach that for me!” She finishes her babbling with a worried little smile.

That may not have done the trick, as the claws on her shoulders sink in a touch deeper, causing her to wince and squirm. She doesn’t dare to say another word, she can’t even hear her own thoughts over the fearful racing of her heart. It’s not even the pain, it’s the panic, as she looks up with wide eyes at the doctor stepping closer. Her stomach feels like it’s in knots, her heart feels like it hit the floor, but in that blur she feels a warm shock of excitement.

“That’s sweet to hear,” Olivia says, quieter now. What’s scary is her change in tone… That there isn’t one- That faint excitement boiling in her voice, under a soothing croon that causes Lucielle to shrink into herself. The doctor rises from her seat on the desk edge, slipping off her large lab coat to lie behind her. She steps forward, and leans close to Lucielle, like one would to a child. She peers down her nose at the younger woman, a sharp smile pulling at her lips. It takes Olivia everything in her power not to reach out a gloved hand and just hold the other woman’s face, to peer into the eyes and memorize everything about the face before her.

It’s like the pure definition of opposites, Olivia staying quiet for a moment with a smug stare, while a soft blush rises to Lucielle’s cheeks as she tries not to provoke Eelektross.

And just like that, it’s over. Olivia bursts back up to being that enthusiastic scientist she was known as, and with her movement Eelektross pulls back, quickly slithering to the doctor’s side around her legs. She ruffles Lucy’s hair, fluffing up her bangs as she practically cackles. “Oh I’m sorry! That was it, that was the method!”

Lucy is understandably taken aback, her breath catches and she shuffles to sit up. “Wh- Huh?! Intimidation?” She blurts out, trying to hide how that made her feel.

“Of course! How else could I secure funding? You’re lucky I haven’t gone into crime,” Yet.. Olivia’s response is bright, as if nothing happened, and even with its jawless mouth her Eelektross seems to express that same excitement.

Lucielle’s gaze darts between the two, she has to stop herself from asking about why Olivia’s suit color mirrors the Pokémon, but she’s able to. “Was that, like, training?! U- Uhm, there’s no way your colleagues will act like I did!”

Olivia just giggled more. “Training, sure, that works. In all honesty I just wanted to see how you’d react.” In all honesty, she found the reaction cute.

Lucielle sighed, and bounced her leg on the tiled floor. “Ok, ok! You got me, it was good.”

“Thank you, thank you,” The doctor mocks an actor’s bow, purposefully getting just a bit too close for comfort, almost causing Lucy to freak out.. Again. “I hope Eelektross didn’t hurt you, she can get a bit excited too.. We learned that with one of my latest devices, based on her. Would you like to see?”

Lucielle perks up, with a nervous grin. “Alright…”

Olivia does a short twirl on the toe of her boots, showing off her corset and the back harness it’s connected to. She never felt more alive, more ready to show off her work to someone. Maybe it was because she knew that this someone would listen. Maybe it was because she found this someone pretty. When she faces Lucielle again, she folds her hands in front of herself.

Before the devices emerge from her back. There’s a slick sound of plastic against metal for a moment, and out rises two arms. They move with an unnatural smoothness, quicker than Eelektross and at least as thick. They’re a much lighter color than the Pokémon, and a similar translucency to parts of Olivia’s suit- Even violet wires can be seen extending inside. At half their full length, they stop, having to curl forward to not hit the ceiling. The tapered ends snap open into a round, four pronged claw, just like Olivia’s partner Pokémon.

“Oh dear Arceus-“

Legendary Gauntlet (Entei/Azelf/Cobalion) - Clears

Alright, I’m calling it quits at 120 wins.  I feel decently about this.  I mean, I felt really good about it until comparisons kicked in, and I noticed the #4 spot is at like 110 with maybe 200 sync pairs used, and the top spot is at like 154.  But I knew this would happen.  Still, bad mood today.  Not the game’s fault.  Anyway!  I figured I’d list out my teams, for those interested.  I’ll try to avoid commenting on every team, but some had something interesting to talk about.

The structure is Support/Tank, Striker, Tech.  I’m not going to list the function of the Eggmon, unless they’re in an odd spot, like a support not being the tank.

Final Thoughts Perhaps unsurprisingly, Azelf was the most difficult of the three.  We have a surprising abundance of Paralysis bots, and plenty of powerful damage dealers to abuse Burn as well if needed, so Cobalion...wasn’t too tough.  Entei’s really easy so long as you have a flinch rate, although the later fights really emphasize what a problem Entei’s bulk is when you’re not like...crazy good on your own merits.

Now, I know what you may be thinking.  “Crystal, why did you do this?  I thought you weren’t going to after last Gauntlet.”  Well, a few reasons.  One is, 100 wins gets you enough 5* powerup tickets to 20/20 a sync pair.  So it’s the goal forever now.  The other is, 100 wins isn’t too difficult to achieve at this point for me, what with how many support pairs I’ve accumulated.  Some are difficult fights, but we can manage.  Lastly...none of these fights suck.

A major issue with Gauntlet is the layout.  Latias sucks, because at the second bar, you run into the random bullshit of “oops, all your attacks keep missing despite your best efforts, and the otherwise clean run just tanked for no reason!  Sucks to suck!”  Moltres has the same issue.  Missed a quad queue on May?  Burns for everyone.  Some of these fights rely so heavily on RNG to carry them forward that they’re intolerable, and the heavily you fall back on needing a flinch rate, the worse the fight.  Cobalion, Entei, and Azelf are all pretty fair.  They can’t do anything too stupid to you.  Cobalion is answered with status and a physical wall.  Entei is answered by any level of flinch rate given how weak it is to them.  Azelf is answered by the Stalwart/Unbending combo and sleep.  So once things got rolling, even when I had to retry, I rarely had to retry repeatedly for optimal RNG shenanigans like I had to do constantly for bitch bird and fuckjet.
