I'M GONNA THROW UP

[thenecropolix]

Considering the dynamorph au that was around and dynamaxing as a whole, has no one considered a kaiju au

[fulgurbugs]

Headcanon ask (I'm sorry the Pokemon SwSh thing made me think of this all of a sudden): Octopath / Pokemon -- gym leaders! Who would be a gym leader and what Pokemon type would they specialise in? (Alternatively if the main antagonist of each Octopath character's story was a gym leader what Pokemon type would each specialise in... you know for the characters who actually have a human antagonist for their story... I feel like Redeye would just be a corrupted legendary or something I don't know?)

alright, had another big brainstorm sesh with the bestie @snailcruncher for this one so here it goes

Here’s what we’re going with: everyone gets one type, 4 pokemon. we’re going to get everyone fully evolved versions of their team as if they’re like, the 8th gym leader, mostly so we had more to work with but also didn’t have to give a fuck about nfe mons

as for choosing the types, we basically went by choosing some who felt obvious first, then filling in with what we had left so nobody repeated a type. maybe some don’t fit perfect but yk. also shoutout to inherent class magic types for giving us some pokemon types to fall back on

also, i’m imagining in this scenario it’s probably like. the only example i can think of is cheren (i don’t watch the anime) where gym leaders clearly have gym teams that vary depending on challenge level, and personal teams for outside of the league, so that’s how we’re rationalizing this

anyways

Up first

Ophilia - Ice

Ace: Lapras

there’s not really a good equivalent to “light” in pokemon types, so we decided to go with the frostlands special on this one.

Abomasnow is here to set hail/snow. if any character has a team that benefits from a weather being set, we’ve usually included a setter in their team. so that’s what abomasnow does

ninetales is for aurora veil, which i think is a pretty good equivalent to the sheltering abilities of cleric

frosmoth was on her original team so decided to carry it over. same with lapras, which i think has a fun connection with guiding/carrying travelers on its back, which makes it a good ace for her.

Cyrus - Psychic

Ace: Alakazam

since scholar covers 3 types of magic, pigeonholing it into one is a little difficult. decided to go with psychic, since it is pretty magic-y and most of its mons are known for being very specially focused rather than physically

alakazam gets to be ace because, let’s face it, none of these other guys are sweeping. alakazam is known for being mega smart and also laser beam crater blasting everything, so i think it’s a pretty safe cyrus pick.

claydol is just something i think is pretty fun for vibes. what with its mysterious origins… feels very cyrus ch4 mural a la runerigus he has in his other team

Swoobat. with the ability. unaware.

Oranguru cuz it’s the instructor pokemon ^_^

Tressa - Water

Ace: Gyarados

Since tressa’s from a seaside town, she felt like the best pick for water types.

Gyarados is her ace because, well… magikarp starts out kind of wimpy but turns out it had the best potential of them all (tho tressa herself certainly has a less rocky start) anyways this thing is a dragon dance sweeper and will kill you.

Pelliper rain setter. plus, gulls feel on brand for her. Gastrodon (east) so that she has an electric immunity that this team sorely needs

Palafin for another zero to hero because tressa would not let you get off easy even if you get past one of her hard hitters. she’d have this thing in the back after flip turning it out of there.

Olberic - Steel

Ace: Aegislash

notable “unbending blade” of hornburg olberic gets steel types, clap if you are surprised. no one?

anyways, Aegislash for the ace. i’m sure it’s pretty self explanatory.

Aggron and steelix are pretty much in for the same reason. they’re big. they have high defense. and they’re steel types. escavalier just goes more in on the knight motif while bringing another dual type to the team

Primrose - Flying

Ace: Oricorio

there’s definitely a good argument to be made for something like dark primrose, but to be honest… i like flying for her, because i feel like it works with her kind of caged-bird motif. in addition, flying types cover a lot of dual types, which means i can pick pokemon that can use dance setups or support.

Oricorio is the picture perfect flying/dancer ace. obviously it gets top spot

Altaria as a dragon dance setup sweeper

Vivillion is a shitmon, admittedly, but it was that or butterfree for a quiver dancer, so i went with vivillion because honestly it doesn’t fucking matter they have the same shit basically. i guess this thing can also use sleep powder (and so can butterfree) but it comes in more pretty colorsssss

Swanna gets featherdance, just to cover one more dance. and you know. swans are like pretty and elegant or whatever. allegedly. anyways something something primrose is a beautiful swan.

Alfyn - Grass

Ace: Leavanny

Alfyn greengrass has grass types? this is shocking to nobody. anways, deciding between leavanny or meganium for the ace i eventually decided on leavanny because i say so. but they could both work

vileplume so that he has at least one grass/poison rep. i so rarely use the apothecary poisoning skills in OT but he can like. do that, so….

Sunflora is here because it would use sunny day and do fuck all except be a shitmon, because it is, but personally i think Alfyn wouldn’t gaf because it’s cute and he likes it, and it supports solarbeam/Clorophll for its team which is enough of a job to put it on here

Therion - Fire

Ace: Houndoom

the inherent fire magic of the thief class is here to bail me out in giving therion a gym type. thanks.

Anyways, i’m going with Houndoom as the Ace because he does have an image to uphold. it can’t all be fluffy arcanines or whatever.

ceruldege is here bc A) swords and B) it’s a little hater of a pokemon so it stays. centiskorch is here because it’s one of MY favs and i think it’s fun to put more interesting dual types into these teams, and as much as i love volcarona (my all time fave) it’s not really a therion mon… but i do think he’d be on board with a centiskorch.

then for a sun setter… it kind of had to be ninetales, tbh. i cannot really justify giving mr fastest speed stat in orsterra a turtle. so ninetales it is.

H’aanit - Electric

Ace: Luxray

another one where the inherent class magic gets to bail us out. if i’m being honestly, H’aanit is not much giving electric trainer, but we did our best.

Kilowatrells reasoning here is the same as it was in her original team. it’s a literal thunderbird. (also, no legends here but she deserves a zapdos)

Galvantula is a webs setter. holy shit guys, leghold trap reference.

and then Manectric and Linde are of course, dollar store Hägen and Linde. definitely an intimidate luxray, too.

next we can move onto the OT2 ones!

Ochette - Dragon

Ace: Noivern

ochette… she’s giving 8th gym dragon gym leader. i think her emphasis on finding legends basically tailors her to the dragon trainer for me. as for her mons, i’ve given her three dragons whose secondary types match up with Acta, Terra, and Glacis, while noivern is… honestly it’s just vibes i think noivern is cool and she would like it.

i didn’t really wanna make one of the three legends her ace over the other, so i’ll just say noivern is the ace.

Castti - Poison

Ace: Roserade

now, for Castti, we decided to bend the gym leader rules a bit, so she doesn’t have all poison types, though she does have an entirely poison-based team still. Breloom has poison heal, so we’ve elected to give it a spot, considering it also gets spore and is a fighting type that can throw THESE HANDS.

Zangoose is here for a similar reason, posssing the ability toxic boost, upping its damage when poisoned.

Glimmora of course has two poison based abilities in corrosion and toxic debris, though i’d say castti’d do toxic debris/venoshock shenanigans.

For the mandatory Apothecary Grass/Poison type, i’ve given her roserade. it’s like uh. the flower malaya gave her.

Throné - Dark

Ace: Bisharp

tho throné herself maybe wouldn’t like to be the dark type leader, or at least would wish she wouldn’t get a bad rap for using them, they still fit her (and OT2’s theif inherent magic), so that’s what we’re going with.

Absol: maybe this one is on loan from temenos lol.

liepard is a very evil team-grunt pokemon so i’m giving it to her also it’s purple.

weavile is a little less of a shitmon and also gets the ability pickpocket, plus brings some dual typing to this team. tho she would get her shit so rocked by a fighting type let’s be real

Bisharp: ok so… what if… the blacksnakes… are like a bunch of pawniards. and only the best ones can be bisharps. that’s throne. or something. also, it’s kind of referencing that she’s distantly related to notable kingambit haver hikari. bonus!

Osvald - Normal

Ace: Drampa

hear me out… Osvald normal type trainer. but he uses only dual types, and he also likes to play a lot less straightforward than your average trainer. Ursaluna (for the teddiursa in his original team) makes an appearance, while Farigaraf can set trick room and other fun psychic pokemon shenanigans. Hisui-Zoroark is here to throw another wrench in the mix, being able to throw off incoming fighting type attacks and hit back while making you readjust your strategy. the whole time, the threat of this thing makes you always have to consider if you know what you’re fighting first.

and drampa. this thing is just such an osvald pokemon to me. thank god it’s half normal. he should have it. make it the ace too.

Partitio - Rock

Ace: Coalossal

partitio was a bit of an odd one to pick a type for, but we settled on rock for a few reasons. honestly…. started with the ace and worked backwards, and therion’s already hogging the fire slot. besides, even though he’s looking towards the future, partitio’s definitely a little behind the times initially, so some good old fashioned rock types seem like a good fit.

anyways the coalossal is the ace because he’s ability is. steam engine. lol

lycanroc because. i think partitio would like a awesome doggy and then we went dusk form bc i don’t think he would have the evil one and dusk sucks less than the midday one lol.

gigalith sand setter

and then crustle is cuz we wanted to give him it as a shell smash sweeper. and i dunno they probably have dwebbles around oresrush.

Agnea - Fairy

Ace: Togekiss

Agnea feels like a pretty good fit for the fairy type, tho she does get less dancer-move user options than primrose does using flying types.

Togekiss i feel like is a shoe-in for her ace. it’s a pokemon associated with peace and kindness… i feel like agnea is definitely the kind of person to be able to actually acquire a togepi. also, it gets serene grace, which is a very agnea-ability title. i think she should get to paraflinch people too.

Ribombee is a much better quiver dance user than vivillion, and it’s half fairy, so agnea gets it. i love this thing. it can be so scary if it gets set up.

gardevoir: in our original teams, hikari had this due to its association with loyalty to its trainer/friends. so i think agnea also fits it very well too! since hikari (⬇️down there later ) has been swapped to a gallade to fit his type i’ve given it to her. awesome matching time.

whimsicott is here because she is fun and whimsical. this thing would set tailwinds probably.

Temenos - Ghost

Ace: Houndstone

i’m so sorry temenos but i think it’s really really funny to make you a ghost trainer. like really super funny.

anyways, yamask was on his original team, so we’ve upgraded to cofagrigus here. chandelure is vaguely sacred flame-esque while also being ghost type, tho it’s kind of. ominous but whatever. Sableye is a silly little guy who kind of vaguely references the mirror shard crossed paths. i guess if he mega evolved it i could do that even more with magic bounce but we didn’t really work w megas or regional gimmicks or whatever

and then houndstone comes out last to spam last respects after you’ve killed all this other pokemon just like all the EVERYONE HE KNEW IN REAL LIFE died too you monster.

like i said i think ghost trainer temenos is really funny

Hikari - Fighting

Ace: Gallade

Hikari nabbed fighting type right out of the gate. as compared to olberic who is very definsive brick wall of a guy, hikari feels more versatile in a way that fits fighting types to a T.

I’ve given him heracross because the heracross i caught in my nuzlocke is named after him so i think he should have one.

Lucario is here for a fun friendship evo, while scrafty is here to rep a more “dirty fighter” type of pokemon on the team being fighting/dark.

then gallade gets to be the ace because i feel like it’s the most ace material tbh.

as for your second part we did pick villian types (but not teams), here’s that much more briefly

Mattias: Dark (i feel like this is self explanatory. maybe malamar ace?)

Lucia: Psychic (this seems to must be the type we’re going with for most scholars)

Esmerelda: Poison (because the wound may prove fatal)

Werner: Fighting (idrgaf but i guess he used to run a merc company so i guess or whatever)

Simeon: Normal (hes the least normal guy you’ll ever meet but you’d never guess it from his pokemon team)

Ogre eagle: Iron valiant. 6 iron valiant.

Darius: Ground

i’m just. uh.

Redeye: Iron valiant. also entire team of 6 iron valiants (lore accurate)

Darkling: you never guess this but 6 Iron Valiants

Trousseau: Poison but for real this time

Claude: Dark (feel like that’s also self explanatory)

Harvey: Psychic (specifically, this guy has a hypno.)

Roque: Steel ⬇️

Dolcinea: Fairy mirror match/Tiernos Dancer only team she’s based like that. either or

Kaldena: Ghost (another mirror match)

Mugen: typeless but every one of his mons knows swords dance

ok that’s basically it hope that’s enough of an answer ok byeeee

Oooh! What's Butterfly Effect about? I'm curious!

I AM SO GLAD U ASKED

I am, unfortunately, a huge Nuzlocke fan. A large part of why I love pokemon as a franchise so much is because of it's sandbox-y nature and the celebration of fans and even canon side content doing interesting spins on characters, stories, and scenarios (ie nuzlocke comics, pokespe, masters, etc). I also just adore the way that Nuzlockes provide new frameworks to play around with, and so I've been making stories out of my playthroughs for almost as long as I've been playing Pokemon at all. Butterfly Effect is one such story, and based off a playthrough of SwSh. I like the vibes of SwSh's plot but almost none of the story decisions, so I decided to really play around with everything the game presented to make my own version. One of the ways I often find plots is by adding a gimmick to the world and then worldbuilding and forming the plot from those constraints (for example, my Kanto story is based around the constant remakes all being canon at once, my Johto story is based off Legends-era stuff, my Hoenn story is based around the intersection of PMD and the mainline games, and my Unova story is based around a "bad ending" of BW)

For my Galar story, I decided to make the gimmick "what if like 30% of the population were gijinkas"? I ended up tying this heavily to the concept of Dynamax, and building the plot up around that and the power crisis (which I moved to the present day). The protagonists (there are three, Agnes, Tego, and Viking) end up wrapped up in the conflict and the shady dealings of the league just as everything comes to a head. It's more or less a fantasy story about nuclear energy but also there's dragons and radiation poisoning just turns u into a furry instead of killing you. If you look at the tag "story: butterfly effect" there's more info there-- I'm also going to make a post about the sliding scale of gijinka-ness and how that all works. Thanks for the questions and feel free to ask if anything is unclear / you want to know more abt anything specific :)

What makes the new Pokémon good

So in game development there are generally two types of design. There's system design and content design. For a sports analogy you can think of system design as coming up with the rules of a game and content design as deciding what the field and ball will look like, as well as how smart the other team is.

In Pokemon, the system design is the combat mechanics, the core loop, how pokeballs work, what types of tasks need to be accomplished to beat the game. Content design is the pokemon themselves, the mechanics of individual moves, the maps the player will traverse and what can be found in those maps and what challenges the player will have to overcome within the framework of tasks supplied by the system design.

The two bleed together sometimes but on a large scale any given "design" component of pokemon can be categorized into one of these two areas.

The systems of Pokemon are very rarely changed in significant ways, though new systems are sometimes added. Gen 2 added physical defense, abilities and gender, gen 3 added weather effects and double battles, gen 4 made the physical/special split, at one point Mega Evolution happened and Z moves, and now each generation is iterating on the idea of making a pokemon more powerfully temporarily once per battle in unique ways.

What gets changed and added to every Pokemon game is the content. Every generation is a whole new map, new characters, a new story, and of course new pokemon designs. The formula for this is pretty strict - there's a minimum campaign length and a minimum amount of unique pokemon that need to get designed, at the very least.

Now, imagine you're a systems designer for SwSh, and you're working on the next Pokemon game and as we speak there are over a thousand pokemon - and every single one is someone's favorite. Let's ignore for a moment the fact that SwSh originally didn't allow every pokemon in the game - this represents a unique design problem for you, the person who makes the rules. Because the player is only allowed to have 6 pokemon on their team. That's a rule established early on, and one of the only rules that was never changed.

You don't want to change this rule, because battles should be short. The player is going to have a lot of them so they can't drag. Plus, the average battle shouldn't even require more than like 3 pokemon if the player is doing well.

Early on someone added an "Exp Share" to the game to make leveling up weak pokemon easier, and that was well received even though it doesn't go great with your EV system. So at one point your team made some decisions they were really happy with - they turned Exp Share into an item that affects every party member and added extra ways to grow EV.

Except that some players hated the new Exp Share and wanted to play with it turned off. They did this because they don't understand your vision, but the reason your vision is hard to understand is because doing this doesn't fix the problem you're trying to fix - that being the growing population of pokemon a player might want to use.

Anyway, SwSh happens and someone gets an idea - Exp Share is no longer an item; it is now always on, with no player option. Now if you, the person reading this and not the character I'm having you play in the narrative I'm weaving, find this counter-intuitive, it's because that's only half of the idea.

So I'm a veteran Pokemon player, and I'm playing SwSh and I just caught a shit ton of pokemon in the Wild Area since that's early in the game and a lot of the pokemon there are cool, but because I'm such a badass I did this and also way overleveled my pokemon in the process. But hold on. I can access my PC from the map, just, like, whenever. Those cool new pokemon I caught, I can put them in my party, and because Exp Share is always on, they can become viable fairly quickly, while my overleveled pokemon get a break until the rest of the game catches up.

And you, the genius that you are in this scenario I've created for you, have made one final change to this system that's the cherry on top. Pokemon don't heal when they go into the PC, until the player gets to a pokemon center.

This solves 4 problems in one.

A player can use more than 6 pokemon for their adventure without using more than 6 pokemon for a single battle.

Leveling up pokemon is faster than ever so pokemon can become viable for your team quickly

The player can now go longer without reaching a pokemon center by switching out their tired pokemon for fresh ones - but they still need to get to one eventually. This means the player is no longer backtracking to known safety during long routes like they used to.

The games now have a hidden difficulty slider. Stick with 6 overpowered pokemon? Easy mode. Have 10 fairly well-leveled pokemon that give you pretty good type advantage? Normal mode, made more fun by having more options. Want a team of 15 that are all just barely skirting by? That's a seriously fun challenge.

And the change was subtle - Exp Share is already familiar to most players, after all, and it's standard to most RPGs anyway - but just one little tweak of making the PC available on the map without healing the pokemon inside it massively changes how many options the player has in a way that drastically improves the experience for all player types.

Scarlet/Violet made another giant change that I am fascinated by - pretty much all battles are optional - but I've gushed too much about SwSh already and haven't played enough of ScarVi to get into specifics.

When most people criticize modern Pokemon games, they're typically criticizing the content. Short routes, unfinished or lackluster story, poorly modeled trees, lame pokemon animations. And they're right to do so. The content of these games is seriously lacking in ways that are hard to ignore. But the systems design is better than ever.

My Pokémon SwSh game is bugged.

I am a big fan of the Pokémon series, and pretty much been here for awhile, however, despite that, my first Pokémon game that I ever got to play was Pokémon Sword & Shield, and even then, that was on my friend’s switch at school, so when I finally got my own switch with my own copy of Pokémon Shield, I was hyped. Unlike with the save on my friend’s switch, I took my time lovingly crafting all of my Pokémon team, and including my favorites such as Yamask, Slowpoke, and the most recent ones at the time such as the Galarian Zigzagoon evolution line and the Grookey evolution line, however the Pokémon of interest in this story is this Low Key Toxtricity named “TOXIC MIST!!”

Yeah, yeah, spooky Pokémon in the game next thing I’m gonna tell ya is Missingno. appeared and deleted my save, but no, up at this point the game played as normal, beating the gyms, beating other trainers, and then going camping, I favored the Toxtricity the most during camping, I really liked it’s design, despite how simple it was in actuality, it definitely climbed the ranks of my favorites fast, and it was definitely my most used pokemon, or at least second most used, first place went to my Rillaboom, since he was a Grade-A tank.

But I beat the game, facing minor bumps (Rose literally sucks, screw steel-types forever), and I decided as celebration for my pretty clean playthrough of the game, I spin a wheel and release a random Pokémon on my main team, y’know, give them freedom away from my character (silly I know, let me be happy ok), I put every-Pokémon on my team on an online wheel website, and spun it, it ended up landing on Toxic Mist, of course her being one of my favorites I re-spun, again, and again, and again, but every time it landed right back on Toxic Mist, I felt awful letting go of one of my favorites but I just soothed myself imagining that Toxic Mist would run off into it’s own habitat and be happy, maybe even visit my trainer character sometimes, I remember this bit clearly since I drew doodles of this scenario later.

I released Toxic Mist and then moved on, I think ended up getting bored after I finished the story-mode and moved onto other things since I didn’t have the DLC, I ended up resetting my save to redo the story mode a couple months later with a different batch of Pokémon.

This is where the game started acting up, and things felt…weird, I felt like I was being watched, I even ending up taping my curtains to block any gaps, but that feeling never left, in-fact, it got worse by the time I found myself at the Giant’s Mirror part of the Northern Wild Area, thats when I found a Low Key Toxtricity, but something about it was off to me, something about it paired with the fact I felt watched made me deeply afraid of this specific Toxtricity, I approached it anyway, because it’s just a Pokémon character, nothing it could do could effect me in real life, plus it was just standing there doing nothing even after I got close enough to the point it should of reacted so I assume it was a bugged Pokémon.

I was proven wrong as soon as I engaged battle with it, for some reason the encounter played as if I was battling a trainer, it also let out this ear-piercing ringing sound, it was so loud I turned my switch’s volume down to mute, before I continued I looked at the Pokémon but couldn’t see anything but it’s back due to the camera angle, but thats when I noticed the name “TOXIC MIST!!” spelt the exact same way I named my own Toxicity from my previous save, I thought it definitely had to be some bug at managed to save bits of my previous data to the game and loaded it where it didn’t belong, which was strange since I didn’t encounter any other bugs before this point.

Bug or not, I was immediately proven wrong when I proceeded and it finally showed it’s face, but the way it did it was it curled backwards like that one clip from The Exorcist, and when I saw it’s front I was immediately stunned by a mixture of shock and fear, mainly shock, It’s front was a messed up slurry of textures that I’ve never seen the game, but the part I focused on the most was it’s neck, for some reason it’s neck had been entirely split open like someone slit it, instead of blood like you would expect it was just foamy, I didn’t know how to respond to this, so I tried attacking it, after my turn was done I felt my switch start to heat up quickly, I immediately turned off my switch and the heat died down almost immediately.

After a couple tests my switch turned out to be fine and so was the data of the other games on it, but just to be safe I’ve deleted Pokémon Shield off of my switch, that moment still stresses me out whenever I try to figure out what happened to my game during that moment, but the only thing I do know is that I’m not risking my hands nor my switch to test something that only effects one game that was on it.

Authors note time!

I realized I never posted this so I decided to post it for the spooky season! This is based off a TikTok clip of a glitchy Toxtricity.

This was my first attempt at a Pokepasta and I pulled a lot of specific info from my own experience with Sword and Shield, real fun to do to be honest!

I got nothing else to say so uh…thanks for reading!!

[cosmic-cd]

ohhh my god i love this new pokemon masters event

there's some pokemon masters EX story spoilers under the cut if you're interested in playing the galar villain arc for yourself!

i think pokemon masters is full a lot of genuinely cool/interesting ideas for a gacha game (i've called it, very affectionately, written like fanfic except they get paid for it)

the fact that ORAS archie and maxie aren't evil to begin with is already amazing to me characterization-wise since it would've been easy enough to make them evil by default (they are so divorced.)

but i also really love that SWSH absolutely happened for leon, sonia, hop, gloria and victor- but Rose and Oleana are from the past or an alternate universe- so it allows them freedom to have new/different motivations, while still allowing the group very much not to trust them for good reason

i don't think pokemas is like, the pinnacle of coherent storytelling but i really appreciate the effort the writers go through to make things make enough sense and going ham with the notion that the timeline doesn't need to make sense because pasio is such an anomaly- then they can really honor good characterization while playing around with so many what-if scenarios, it still feels so much like they genuinely care about the stories and characters they're working with

i'm also really liking how far Lear's come as a character too!! as far as storytelling goes, the actual story arcs are really compelling

ALSO i'm putting this as a disclaimer here i promise i don't spend real money on this game lOL;; if anyone's worried about that. i promise i'm good WHEEZE;;;;;

Meta - PKMN - Interpol.

Formally, the division Kaguya belongs to within the Interpol is named the Legendary Phenomenon Division. It was officially formed some time following the events of SwSh—after which it became abundantly clear that the standard divisions dealing with organized crime was simply not cutting it, and the manipulation, abuse, and sometimes even mere existence of certain Legendary Pokémon (cough Eternatus) posed a very real existential threat to the world. Their primary purpose is to keep tabs on known (and unknown, publically) Legendary Pokémon, the people (protagonists) who may or may not capture or otherwise interact with them, and potential threats posed to or by them. Most of this division is made up of an internal research team, but there are a small handful of special field agents, like Kaguya, who must fulfill a generally very high standard of fitness and, more critically, skill. Why?

Well, the fact that internally, it's been nicknamed the godkiller division probably gives you a hint. Field Agents, at least "special" field agents, like Kaguya, need to be equipped to be able to "handle" threats should they arise, even if that is sort of the worst-case scenario.

Unsurprisingly, there's significant overlap between Legendary Phenomenons and the UB divisions. Given Kaguya is, technically, a Faller, she likely would've been put on the UB division like Anabel if not for the fact that 1. UBs are considerably less of an active concern now that the Situation in Alola has had time to return to (semi) normal and 2. she's kind of the ideal candidate for the so-called godkiller division.

Likewise, they still work pretty closely with the Organized Crime division, as you would expect, though largely in the way of supplying information more than any direct interaction between agents. (Think of it like this: if Organized Crime shows up at the Galactic HQ, then Legendary Phenomenon would be the ones to go to Spear Pillar.)

As far as being in Interpol goes, Kaguya.... is ultimately pretty neutral on it. She wasn't really given much of a choice in the matter given she is, uh, a really weird Faller case. And weighing the options, the promise of a job and a proper introduction to this world was definitely a better option than winging it on her own when she didn't even know what the fuck an Altaria was. (Sidebar: she's still terrible at identifying most pokemon. Like, idk, it's some kind of fucken bird...........) She is a bit miffed on a more impersonal level about the circumstances just generally kind of sucking (she is doomed to an eternity of being a gd adventurer when all she wants is to RELAX for like FIVE FUCKING MINUTES), but she tries not to let it bother her that much.

[a-tale-of-legends]

More BW thoughts but it's tied to Swsh cause I just realized something. If I go with the narrative that both Elliot and Cheren are aiming to become stronger to try and protect Alexis. Which, in a way, is kinda infantilizing him? I mean not entirely they both know that Alexis is strong, but their main concern is to not have Alexis suffer from anymore deaths ( of his pokemon), which is mostly due to team plasma. But still, they're so steadfast in this urge to make sure to protect Alexis that they probably don't exactly check up on him much ( maybe Elliot does,hmm), and it kinda becomes even more isolating by accident.

Then we fast forward to Swsh, and you wanna know what Alexis does? He constantly prevents Naomi from getting into any danger bc he fears that she or her pokemon could get hurt or worse. It's not unreasonable, but it's definitely stunting her growth as a person, especially in a time where she's finally trying to figure herself out. And with the relationship drama between her friends, you can imagine how lonely it feels for when your own relative seems to not believe in you too( it sucks, having people not believe in you)

IT'S A FUCKING CYCLE MAN. Very different scenarios of course, but it's just the cycle of that urge to protect and the loneliness that the protectee feels from it all.

[blink-in-the-night]

[imagining-pokemon]

I really liked your "You get severely injured" post. Can you possibly do something like that with Piers? Bonus points if s/o gets hurt protecting Marnie (aka, Best Girl). Thanks, hun!

I’m so glad you liked it! Well here you go, and I hope you’re ready for all the angst~

You Get Injured Very Badly (Piers)

The relationship between the two of you was definitely something special

There just weren’t many things in Piers’ life that he passionately and unselfishly cared for 

But he cared for Marnie and he cared for you

The tenderness towards Marnie was of brotherly love that he learned to accept long ago when she first smiled at him from their mother’s arms

It was kind, and it was pure

But then you came

Now there weren’t many times in Piers’ life where he just felt so undeniably small 

But one of the few times was when he started to have feelings for you

To say it was a crush would take too much meaning from what it really was because Piers just did not know what to do with all these feelings brewing and raging in him 

He just felt so small

Even as your relationship prospered, it started to become a true storm 

Oh how he loved you

But does he deserve this?

He feels as dirty as the town he came from 

How could he deserve you?

Maybe that is what makes you so special

You did not try to completely abolish these emotions but instead chose to understand

You cared for him without expecting nothing in return

You understood and accepted things about him, others would only scoff at

And with each kiss, each hug, the sea in his mind would become serene

It was a sort of calm for Piers

It was his tranquility

And there were many times where Piers felt that this was only a dream

A wonderful, special dream

But then you would brush his hair from his dirty face, or grab hold of his dirty hand

And he would look at you

Piers would see your bright eyes and kind smile, and everything would just come in a tidal wave

This was reality

This was the love you both uniquely shared

It may not be kind, and it certainly wasn’t pure

But it was special, and it was yours

And that is why when he heard you got injured, he felt everything melt into chaos

He held Marnie in his arms, as she sobbed about how you had saved her and all of Galar

Piers had given you time, and he had given you access to what had happened at the Rose Tower

But to know it had it all led to you injured and possibly dying in the pokecenter... 

He did not know what to feel

Piers led Marnie to her hotel room first so she was able to rest 

He tucked her in, and embraced her

And for the first time in a long while, she let him

Even if you were in grave condition at the moment, Piers still wanted to make sure his sister was okay

For the next few hours, all he could hear was the thoughts constantly bashing through his head

Get better

Thank you

I’m sorry

Now there weren’t many who were able to tell with certainty what happened between the time Piers left the hotel and the time he went to the pokecenter to see his lover, but some could say with some truth that they heard tearful crying

When you opened your eyes after all the chaos that has happened, you were first aware of just how sore you were

A groan left you as you quickly stretched out your arm and wiggled your fingers

No one appreciates fingers until you almost lose them

But what really drew your attention was the crazy hair of the Dark type gym leader next your bed

Even after so much time of two being together, that hairstyle still made you giggle

His hard whipped to you and you were able to see a ring of red around his eyes

Piers took your hand and squeezed it, trying to calm everything inside him down

I love you

I love you

“I’m sorry.”

You rose an eyebrow

“Marnie told me what happened after I helped all of you, and how you saved her. I’m sorry I did not go afterward and helped you. I am just glad to see you are awake though.”

I love you

You felt his hand clunch yours harder and harder and you could see in his eyes the tears he had shed and the turmoil that had consumed him for the last few hours

And you understood

Slowly you brought your hands to his face, and pulled him down to place a kiss on both his eyes

The tension left Piers allowing him to breathe for the first time this whole day, and you brought him in for a tight hug

“I love you too, Piers.”

AAAAA IT'S OPEN AGAIN!! YAY!! I LOVE ALL YOUR WRITINGS!!! Anyways, hows about some Raihan having to deal with jealous fans that harass/don't like that he's dating his s/o? :3

I’mma do this as some headcannons cause it makes more sense flow wise, and also gonna pair it with this other anon ask cause it’s cute and I live for oblivious dumbasses.

Raihan was anticipating it, and both dreading it at the same time. He’s popular, he knows that, and he also knows that he’s pretty attractive. There was a reason for a really long time that he couldn’t and wouldn’t date because the woman he was with would always get hate messages and people yelling at them in public.

But he just fell so stupidly hard for you that he couldn’t let you go. If he somehow figured out that you were already dating another man, his heart would shatter. So when he asked you out, he was over the moon that you said yes. But that quickly turned into worry, because he knew that people would be after you.

However, you were far too nice. People were started to take advantage of you, trying to get closer to you so that they could get closer to him, and yet, you always tried to look for the nice and the good in all of them. Raihan would end up giving these people a pointed glare, suddenly pulling you close and keeping you tucked into his arms.

You were always confused, of course, but never really complained. It was when you started to get the messages that you started to get sadder. Raihan was not having a lick of that at all, and started to reply back on those posts with the angry anons, which only made his fans angrier.

But you did something completely unexpected. It was so very obvious, by that point, that people hated you two’s relationship, and wanted nothing more than to break the two of you apart. So you became... defiant, in some ways. You would pull him into kisses in public, wear some of his clothes out and about, and really just made your own silent statement about that.

And from there, all those hate comments that you kept on getting, you would reply back nicely, hoping that they would have a good day and that they should drink some water. That niceness ended up transforming people’s opinions of you. Sometimes the hate would still come in, but people ended up really liking you, and from there, started seeing past the label of relationship and into the love you two shared for each other.

It was a strange and rough turn of events, but Raihan was so stupidly proud of you, and would even apologize profusely over some of the hate comments you got. But you just shrugged, smiled, and kindly replied to every one of them. It was sort of a daily routine at that point. And besides, everyone knew that Raihan would kick anyone’s ass in order to protect you. There was a reason you were known as the Dragon Tamer, after all.
