hi hi hi what do you hc is plasma's greatest strength? What is the team REALLY good at?

oh disinformation and propaganda, definitely. like, it's canon that when this man speaks, people listen. when he was out there saying that owing pokemon was abusive, there were a decent amount of non-Plasmas who listened or at least strongly considered what he was saying. in the manga there was at least one person who released their pokemon on the spot after hearing him speak.

now, the only reason he's still successfully operating is because Plasma is so good at psy-op. there are a lot of very rational sounding Plasma-planted "debunkers" on the internet insisting that the organization is dead. It doesn't help that their disbandment is the mainstream narrative pushed by the police (because he has quite a few high ranking officers in his pocket). there are also Plasma-planted "conspiracy nuts" who are saying that Plasma is real and so are chemtrails, thus giving credence to the notion that only crazy people believe that Ghetsis is still out there.

all of Plasma's activities are pinned on someone else. it's always the fake Plasma or Rocket or some other flavor of the week villain. it doesn't matter what he does, he can always manipulate the narrative to keep the public off his trail.

"It's a difficult situation, to be sure. They remind me so much of the troublesome teenagers I've dealt with in the past, but I don't have enough impunity in Alola to simply kill them. Not yet, anyway."

"Once I'm finished in Galar, retaliation won't be much of a concern. And I do believe I've fooled Ree by giving in so easily before. They'll be much more likely to underestimate me at a time when I'm no longer holding back. It's a lethal mistake."

they’re here.

It starts with the smoke bombs. The sketchy guy standing guard outside the house is suddenly engulfed in smoke. A shadow creeps out from the distance and rises — the trio of giant gastly, easily three times the size of normal ones, grin menacingly at the guard before grabbing at his legs with their ghostly shadows, dragging him down and beginning to pull him away, regardless of any screams.

Ree doesn’t come in through the front door, though. They know that the commotion will draw attention, and that’s exactly what they intended. The blond instead, when all that noise and visual stimuli is happening, breaks one of the windows on the side of the home, climbing in.

it’s go time.

The door guard didn't stand a chance and his backup predictably came to his aid against the three massive ghosts. Inside, the house was virtually empty. Not even furniture aside from a pair of worn out easy chairs and a table where the occupants had been playing cards prior to the commotion. Despite there seeming to be no where to hide, Ree would find themself instantly surrounded by three white-haired individuals.

"So you came. Despite all the warnings not to. Was it your own choice or are you here because you were manipulated? It doesn't matter much now. Lord Ghetsis has instructed us to test your strength. We're interested to see if he was right about you."

The trio sent out their Bisharps at once for a triple battle.

they’re scoping out ghetsis’ hideout. Seems like the kid hasn’t given up on getting that funny bird back. At least they’re trying to act like they’re not being suspicious.

Plasma had a small outpost on each island to help monitor the goings on there and track the results of the various experiments they had conducted. The paradox had been taken to the one established on Ula'ula as Ghetsis knew Ree would get themself in trouble eventually and he wanted that to be far from his primary research station on Poni Island. The more of Skull's hooliganism that could be kept on Ula'ula, the better. At least until his research was complete and he could crush any troublemakers without worrying about the attention that would bring.

The outpost was mundane and inconspicuous aside from having far more activity than any single family home should ever see. And the fact that there always seemed to be at least one person loitering around the front door at any given moment with the current attendant having his eyes locked on Ree behind his dark sunglasses. He, too, seemed to be trying to keep a low profile if his neon green tank top, cargo shorts and Crocs were any indication, but the way he muttered while pressing something in his ear spoiled the casual look.

The call went to the Plasma Captain who promptly informed his Lord that Ree was snooping around. Ghetsis was almost disinterested in the report. It was all too expected. Just like Hugh and Bianca before him, just like every other bleeding heart trainer. Some were more determined and troublesome than others, as Ree certainly could be if Ghetsis didn't already have a plan to turn this little mishap with the Iron Bundle into a convenient distraction from his true agenda.

Ghetsis feigned a look of concern. "They've found the outpost already? No, no, that can't be! It's too soon! It's..." His voice trailed off.

"It's what, sir?"

Ghetsis was silent a moment, appearing to be deep in thought as he fussed with one of his wristbands, secretly activating a recorder. "I haven't told you what's so important about this pokemon, have I, Captain? Well, for the sake of the operation, I suppose it's time I let you in on the secret."

The Captain's eyes were wide as he hung on his leader's every word.

"This is no ordinary pokemon," Ghetsis explained. "It's a Paradox pokemon from the distant future of an even more distant universe. The technology it was created with has the potential to yield unimaginable power. With a few modifications, it could overpower even the most formidable legendary pokemon of this reality! With it, I could freeze the world over and finally achieve our goal of a future under Plasma's control!"

"That's... incredible," the Captain beamed. "But then, why not take it back to Unova and continue the work there?"

Ghetsis shook his head. "It's far too unstable to be transported safely. Until we can find a way to stabilize its temporal signature, it will have to remain here under close observation. The future of our mission depends on this research and so it's imperative that it is protected at all costs. Can I trust you to do that, Captain?"

The Plasma officer looked as if all the secrets of the universe had been revealed to him. He had no idea what a "temporal signature" was or why it needed stabilization, but Ghetsis said all of this with such confidence that it must be true. And to be entrusted with this information by Lord Ghetsis himself was the highest honor he could hope for! The Captain saluted. "I'll guard it with my life, sir!"

"Good," Ghetsis smiled. "Don't attack unless attacked first, but keep a close eye on our little snoop."

The Captian bowed before exiting and Ghetsis hit stop on the recording. He transfers the file to a flash drive and types a note to accompany it.

You need to hear this... Sorry this is weird, but I've been following Ghetsis for a while now. I saw what happened with that pokemon and it looks like he's planning something big with it. I've seen how strong you are and I know if anyone can rescue it, it's you. I'm sorry I can't tell you more about myself, but it would put me in too much danger. Just know I'm a friend and will help when I can. Good luck.

He stuffed the letter in an envelope with the flash drive. With the slightest gesture of his hand, the Shadow Triad was at his side. "Plant this somewhere in Shady House for that little street urchin to find."

The ninjas took the parcel and bowed before disappearing as quickly as they came.

Ghetsis smiled. Now, let's hope Ree falls for it as easily as his Captain did.

they’re offering more snacks to the iron bundle. Seems like they’ve become pretty friendly with the little guy!!!

The robot's head spun around as it trilled and beeped happily at the treats. Only this time it had nothing to offer in return... It thought a moment before looking up at Po Town's perpetually gloomy sky. It had an idea.

Iron Bundle used Snowscape!

And just like that, the constant drizzle became a powdery flurry, transforming the dilapidated resort into a winter wonderland.

it is within me.

i see your soul. i see your eyes. i will speak in your words, with your voice, as i dig so distantly into you memory.

" you are a poison. the oil that spills within the ocean. you are the knife that cuts the stomach open, the gun that shoots the flightless hurt who never had a chance. you are the match that sets my fields of flower ablaze. "

if we meet, and you enter me. i will show you the world through eyes you can't see.

to ruin you as you wish to ruin the world.

Interesting. He wasn't familiar with this voice. His, yet not his at all. Uncanny as it was, he couldn't help but smile at such compliments. Such amusing words coming from a being he didn't know but felt some deep connection with. Like the host cursing the parasite that gnawed through its gut.

"Do you think you wound me with such titles? I may well be all those things to you. If so, I am all that and more. Whoever you are, whatever you are, you'd do well to fear such power."

which Legendary or Mythical Pokèmon do you think better represents your muse? Why?

bonus point if you dont mention the BW dragons

Ironically, probably Eternatus. Something about it being basically a living black hoke that sucks the energy out of everything. It's ironic because Eternatus is the only pokemon he's afraid of, but I suppose it's also fitting because he's most threatened by alternate versions of himself or people too much like him.

@skullkxd:

“Heh. Thanks.” Ree drops to their knees, taking the bag back, before opening it fully and offering the rest of the beans. “These are for you. You’re a long way from home, I take it? You hungry?”

The robot's head tilted as it took an offered bean. It didn't need to eat, really, but converting organic matter to fuel was one way it could recharge. And it had expended quite a lot of energy during its escape... So it popped the bean into its beak and trilled happily, its head spinning 360 degrees. It wanted to give something in return, but unlike the Delibird it was modeled after, its bundle held no gifts.

It's head extended upwards, rotating around as it scanned the area. Iron Bundle locked its sights on a boulder, launching a powerful Ice Beam which shattered the rock and flushed flocks of frightened Pikipeks and Oricorio from the surrounding trees. The Paradox ran to the rubble to collect something and returned to Ree with a gold Nugget.
