I FUCKING CALLED IT
ok, i’ll start posting some of my funky theories! let’s start with my personal favorite, a farfetched one that i came up with over a year ago and now hope deep down it’s true:
i think it’d be neat if paulo joined the international police! most of this is just fun speculation and wishful thinking, but hear me out!
it’s very obvious paulo doesn’t want to go down a genuinely evil route — the only reason they’re considering such dark things is desperation and need for strength. and it’s not for their own gain, but for the sake of protecting the defenseless and, more importantly, the people they love. to act on their sense of justice and defensive instinct. see these examples of their motivation and actions supporting this:
(source - chapter 22: rival face-off! round 1 / paulo interlude 3: good or evil bonds / paulo interlude 4: too late for guidance)
one of the options they’re considering is “strength in numbers”, as seen here.
(source - paulo interlude 2: justice without power)
now, they’re seemingly considering joining team rocket, and they’ve already started assembling a team of powerful pokémon. but that doesn’t seem ideal for them. the former is, well, an evil team, and the latter can only take them so far. so, maybe, what they really need is to join an organization that fights for justice and the protection of people. does this sound familiar?
(source - villain kanto: the last laugh)
notice that, out of the whole crowd, they’re specifically the one to show interest in the international police, despite some other people there not knowing much about it. it’s very likely that this description of the organization caught their eye too, even if they didn’t show it...
also, they’ve associated with looker several times. it’s probably pretty coincidental — after all, the two are going for a similar goal and likely just cross paths because of this — but there could be more to it. therefore, it’s worth mentioning.
(source - villain johto: endings and beginnings / paulo interlude 3: good or evil bonds)
anyway, do i expect this theory to be true? to be honest...not really. it kind of feels too good to be. but a guy can dream, right? it’d be a very interesting outcome to see, and something like this would wrap up their story and give them a nice, happy ending.
will this all culminate in such an ideal conclusion? is dena cool enough to see something like this through? will i be able to look back on this post and say i called it?
only time will tell...
