#rt would use his brain way too much and he would've traveled a long way

[sootneo]

i've been brainrotting a pokémon au with gamblerduo (rtgame and jerma985) simply because i have nothing else to occupy my brain with.

i could only come up with jeremy's team up until now because rt's would be based on stats and stuff like that which would be a bit difficult and take a long time, at least until i rewatch a few of his pokémon videos and try to guess which pokémon he'd keep in a permanent team on an universe he's an actual trainer. jerma's team is far easier because he caught his pokémon based on weirdness, cuteness, ugliness. the uglier the better. giant doll eyes? absolutely. looks like a fucking beast who could smash him into a pulp and is also the most horrid thing you could ever see? it's his now.

anyways, hear me out:

his first pokémon was a buzzwole who was lurking after him, a huge ugly thing that was actually super clingy and lovely towards jerma after he caught it, but despite its jolly nature, he's scared shitless of it. he doesn't trap it in a pokéball because he thinks letting all his pokémon loose is good, but he's immensely scared of ever referring to it (he feeds it, and gives it Scared Affection when it needs, but nothing past it). also, the main reason why it liked jerma so much was because he was just some beefy blond guy with nice eyes walking around without any buddies yet (other than human friends), so the big bug just found himself in jeremy, deciding his vibe was nice enough.

the second one he had ever gotten was a pupitar, which he didn't even know was previously a larvitar. for some reason the idea of carrying around that big dumb cocoon was really funny and he decided to commit to the bit, putting it inside a backpack after he and his buzzwole decided to actually do something cool for once and go battle away in the world. BUT! when he had to make it fight after his low level buzzwole fainted, he simply watched it win, start shining and evolve into a huge tyranitar right in front of him. it has a naive nature, and it's almost as harmless as his buzzwole. he's also pretty scared of it because it's fucking huge, but jerma's more used to its cute eyes, so he learned how to take care of his two beasts and love them despite the fact they could easily kill him.

his third pokémon was espurr. he wasn't scared of it, just curious, thinking it was some funky little guy. he didn't know it had a sassy nature, so trying to befriend it was a bit stressful. in the end, he ended up adding it to his team after they went on a little mission together and he could properly bond with it. the big eyed little thing is now always on his shoulders, staring at people, like "this is my trainer. fuck off. i'm trying to explode you with my mind."

his noivern, of quirky nature, was literally the only noibat that had evolved in the cave jerma entered, and it flew right into his face. just fucking ran him over. and it startled literally everyone because of its weird ass ears that no one had ever seen before. and everyone screamed. and the noivern was stuck to him. and they were trying to run/fly. and it was fucking chaos. they ended up bonding after the screams made the entrance to the cave get closed off by falling rocks, the noivern helping him get out, not only getting closer to jerma but the team he had. it wanted jerma to catch it at the end, and it was welcomed with open arms.

oh, what about his toxtricity? his? he doesn't have any toxtricity???? oh. the one who suddenly started accompanying him on his journey but he never realized he didn't catch and it was simply a wild pokémon being his friend? just some low-key toxtricity who was Just There out of a sudden and no one really paid attention to the fact it just joined them like he was caught?? oh yeah, THAT toxtricity. he ended up giving it a pokéball after people pointed out how funny it was to have a pokémon be yours and not yours at the same time, the chill guy even bringing him an ultraball just because it didn't like regular pokéballs nor greatballs. it had chill nature obviously, and it helped jerma charge his phone even before becoming part of the team. overall an amazing buddy, bonded with noivern the most.

his final buddy was a goddamn shiinotic that just... has a lot of brains. it has brave nature. and it just gets really stressed watching everyone else get into trouble and get fucked up over the silliest things. so instead of using it's little fingers on a sleeping jerma the first time it saw him sleeping on the floor of the forest, it had to wake people up over his tyranitar rolling over and almost crushing him with its weight. and it just started doing that for him. instead of a c= face, it has a >=c face now. it's always on jerma's hair too, on clinging onto his backpack, it has become friends with espurr too since they seem to be the smallest in size yet the biggest in brains on the team.

btw, he doesn't know the gender of any of his pokémon, and he doesn't care much, and when it comes to funky accessories, sometimes they wear ribbons, sometimes they put bowties, everyone just kinda stayed gender neutral to him and since they all don't seem to mind, he also doesn't ask. they're just his friends, being male or female doesn't really change his views on them or anything else, since they don't got attract or any gender based move. he also doesn't know that, at some point, his team became insanely strong. his buzzwole could be lvl 87 and he doesn't know. his tyranitar is about lvl 80, meanwhile espurr and shiinotic are both at lvl 100. toxtricity is a bit weaker, at lvl 69, but it's because it is a bit lazy to battle. the items they hold were all given by espurr too, he doesn't understand much about being a trainer yet, but he slowly starts getting the hang of it and is at a medium level amount of knowledge.
