do you think people in the pokémon universe are pissed that rotom is no longer a legendary like people are pissed that pluto is no longer a planet and get into discourse about it

[rotomicity]

They're taking alpha (ft. omega) to court for custody battle

[mod-jazzy]

Oh look it's them (derogatory) - - - - (( Simple icon update is simple!! Nothing too grand!! I did this a little bit ago BUT... forgot <3 ))

[tineymang]

i finished doing an updated reference of my explorers of sky team!! these guys live rent free in my head i like them a lot (some fun facts under the cut because i have too much to say about them)

circuit

was found by mello passed out on the beach, with no memories other than their name, and the fact they were once human…

had the scars on their horn and fin from the moment they woke up on the beach, and never figured out why they had them until they went to dark crater

the main navigator and also the cartographer of the group! they carry the wonder map with them, along with a feather pen and paper for mapping out the floors of mystery dungeons

was originally always the leader, but often now they will switch between themselves and mello depending on the situation

came up with the team name! they think it is very cool and nobody else except for mello agrees.

has a habit of rushing into fights without thinking, so they often need to duck behind mello for cover when things get dicey

only stores light things in their bag, like their paper and a few healing items in case of an emergency. they will also often hold onto items that need to be delivered to clients so they don't get mixed up with other equipment

they offered to carry mello's bag once and were immediately squished by it, and now they are permanently banned from carrying anything heavy.

mello

formed a team with circuit after the two joined wigglytuff's guild together

a lighter color than most mudkip! the 'splotchy' or spotty patterns she has are also a common trait of water types, possibly because it helps them blend into the water more

her gills are curved and her head fin is longer than normal, which causes it to fold over because of the extra weight. these are only aesthetic differences, and don't affect anything about their functionality!

keeps track of the job requests, usually has a bulleted list she keeps on her. likewise she also keeps an eye out for the items and/or pokemon they need to find in dungeons

has a fascination with all things ancient and mysterious. she has a growing collection of aged books, even in subjects she doesn't have much interest in.

also enjoys collecting various odd objects, and souvenirs from the places she's been! she decorates sharpedo bluff with them.

originally carried the bulk of items they found in dungeons, but after luna joined mello now only carries equipment (orbs, scarves, etc.), while luna carries treasure (boxes, poke, etc.)

one of her favorite hobbies is reading, she finds it's a good way to wind down after an exploration. recently, she has taken up journaling as well.

stripe

met circuit and mello when they explored sky peak together, and she joined the team soon after!

grew up in a colder climate, hence their extra fur

trained at marowak dojo following her joining the team, in an attempt to match the levels of circuit and mello. her brown bow is from marowak!

handles inventory management, took over for circuit who did it prior. she insists she doesn't mind, she finds it satisfying to do.

doesn't speak very often, except to people that they're comfortable with. because of her easygoing nature, she's often the first one other members of the team come to for advice!

has their own home where they live by themselves, but they stay at sharpedo bluff enough that they consider it their second home

one of her favorite spots is spinda's cafe, they enjoy sitting down and crowd watching. mello likes to join her sometimes!

stripe exclusively holds onto healing items like reviver seeds, so they're able to quickly grab one if someone is in a pinch.

mana

joined the team after they came to sharpedo bluff to return to the place they hatched!

has the same kind of splotchy patterning as mello! this is only by pure coincidence, though.

circuit and mello are very protective of mana following their illness when they were young, but they insist they are able to handle themselves.

has the occasional mischievous streak in which they find it entertaining to intentionally scare their parents. i wonder who they get that from…

being the most recent recruit to team epic squad, mana is still figuring out exactly where their specialties lie. but that doesn't mean they're not trying their best!

never quite figured out who exactly it was that left mana's egg alone in the middle of the ocean. circuit has some strongly worded things to say to them if they ever encountered them.

they view mello and circuit as their parents, and walrein is more like an uncle to them. they still see walrein on occasion when he comes to visit treasure town!

carries no bag, only their defense scarf. circuit and mello worry about them straining themselves, so they will usually not bring any items with them.

luna

joined the team after the fight at dark crater!

really not a fan of the team name, but also trying really hard not to be rude about it. she will often refer to it as 'team epic' for short.

not used to having casual conversations with pokemon, so she often will come across as stilted when speaking. instead of names she will default to referring to a pokemon by their position (ie the kecleon brothers are shopkeeps, chatot is head of intelligence, etc)

because of how long she's been around, she has a knack for spotting rare or unusual items! she is not particularly good at estimating monetary value, however.

having trouble figuring out how to relax now that she doesn't have to focus on thwarting any world-ending plots. the rest of the team has gradually been working on getting her to loosen up more

enjoys the company of the future trio, celebi in particular. they like to discuss "legendary pokemon things", as celebi puts it.

has reasons for joining the team beyond finding the work of exploration teams fascinating. she has not told anyone what those reasons are, though.

carries all the various treasure the team finds! she has a liking for any especially shiny objects.

also as a bonus for making it thru the fun facts heres the old reference i did of team epic squad (around 2021 i think??) which this one was a redraw of! (and i also added luna)

<Video recording started!>

<It's a video of Atlas, though clearly tired and disheveled. His hair is put in a tiny ponytail and he seems to be talking with Pecharunt. You can't hear what the mythical is saying though.>

I swear to the dragons I did NOT sign up to babysit you and your little friends-

"Grunts". Yeah yeah whatever you want to call them.

... Yeah we only have two so far. I told you the others got caught. We'll get them. I'll probably battle him for them if push comes to shove, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.

... You think I could pay him off to just hand em' over? I mean 950k is a lot but I have a surprising amount. I could go with like... 960k?

Yes I do have that money! It's called being a former champion and finding tons and tons of shiny things! Also having a rich family! Parents don't care, this is pocket money to them!

... Abusing the item printer that was in the league room too. That's how I got a majority.

Listen listen I'll get your little friends because I don't wanna be possessed okay?!

Yeah yeah I get it come at me.

NOT ACTUALLY! IT WAS A JOKE!

Calm down!

<The recording ends there.>

They're leaving now

They will get a happy ending

[prof-deadwood]

Rotom are some of the most intelligent ghost type pokemon, able to understand human language and even speak it if they possess the right devices! Although upon the advent of this revelation, it has called into question the ethics of catching rotom and the way we treat them in modern society.

Wo-Chien reading to some kids at a library?

"And when the Hoenn region's legendary titans of land and sea emerged to engage in battle, that it when the third, Rayquaza, the serpent that ruled over the airspace, descended to make them cease. Although they wanted to settle the dispute without using force, the situation didn't leave them with much of a choice."

"Tell us more, Mr Snail!" one student was quick to say, showing quite a lot of enthusiasm.

Wo-Chien was equally as quick to respond. He waited for approval from the other students before continuing the story.

"The battle between land, sea and sky lasted for what felt like forever, but eventually it was forced to cease. Upon their descent, Rayquaza had brought a steel chair!"

The students looked confused.

"I made that bit up." Wo-Chien reassured the students as he looked at the next page in the book he held.

The students laughed, which made the snail start giggling too.

--

Whenever Wo-Chien reads to the students of Mesagoza academy, he makes sure to pick out books with the best sounding stories in them.

He also makes sure to read them at a pace that they could follow, and so that sign language users could keep up with.

He also likes to make the students laugh while he reads to them by inserting obviously made up bits into the stories that he reads. Wo says that he uses that to help teach the students how to tell what is the truth from what is not.

Stories that Wo-Chien really likes to tell the students usually include legendaries from other regions. He gets a lot of happiness from telling them about what sort of things that they got up to.
