please tell us about avery pokemon i don't know much about him but you post about him a lot
HI UR ENABLING MY TENDENCIES. I LOVE MY LITTLE VIDEO GAME BOYFRIEND
but ask amd u shall receive. i will now be listing off every piece of canon information abt him i can think of. HERE GOES
Avery is a tall, skinny (but he has, and i usually dont like these words together, thick thighs) white guy with long blond hair and like. those creepy kinda icy blue eyes 👁👁
He's a psychic type trainer and minor-division gym leader!!! he's also an ACTUAL psychic, hailing from a long lineage of psychics, and has telekinetic abilities :3 however, telekinesis is the only psychic ability he has, so he's kind of the black sheep of his family
because his family thought of him as a disappointment, he developed a like. superiority complex to compensate for his simultaneous inferiority complex. he's very prideful and even would go so far as to LITERALLY LEVITATE PEOPLE if they won against him in battles. he basically covers up his feelings of inadequacy by flaunting his good qualities, though he's prone to exaggerating them as well. he literally straight up pretends to have psychic visions and literally goes "AVERY TELEPORT" when leaving the area
he initially arrived at the dojo in the isle of armor due to being kicked out of the league as a gym trainer for levitating people 💀 he was kind of an asshole at first but since mustard and honey were so nice to him, he kinda chilled out too. HOWEVER when he met the player character, his Superiority-Inferiority complex kind of came back in full swing. he saw that they were better than them and literally LIED to them to keep them away from the dojo. when they make their way to the dojo, he basically fought tooth and nail to make sure he bested them in all of the trials, going so far as to even cheat during the battle by setting up psychic terrain, giving himself an advantage 😭
after he's beaten, he basically goes tsundere mode and is like. "If Only I Was As Strong As . . . BAH FORGET IT ." and after the player beats mustard, avery like. kind of realizes that he wants to be acknowledged by them. he literally trains alone in the dam desert like "OH SLOWPOKE WE'RE REALLY IN IT NOW .... OH TO BE RECOGNIZED BY YOU-KNOW-WHO...." and from then on u can battle him every day :3
after all this, he becomes the minor-division psychic leader 🫡 hard work DOES PAY OFF
AND NOW FOR SOME MISCELLANEOUS but still canon facts
avery's final team is galarian slowbro, galarian rapidash, swoobat (she's the only girl in his team btw :3), alakazam, and galarian slowking! in the galarian star tournament, he only uses his slowbro, alakazam, and slowking :3
avery (and klara, by extension) has a chance of fighting alongside u in a raid battle on the isle of armor! idk what the exact likelihood is though but they Definitely don't show up with each one but. he still oulls up on occasion o7
in the galarian star tournament, he has special dialogue with mustard, bede, fucking SHIELBERT, marnie, and melony!
it's implied that he's afraid of dark types, considering said special dialogue with marnie is like "🥲 I Do Not Wish To Be On The Field With A Dark Type Trainer, But At Least We Are On The Same Side." becaude of this, it could ALSO be implied that he's afraid of ghost types and bug types, considering that dark, ghost, and bug are all strong against psychic types
according to the manga, he's a little weak and tires easily due to his reliance on his telekinesis
...HOWEVER, his second league card shows him.doing pushups with a whole ass galarian slowbro on his back WITHOUT telekinesis, so despite his low stamina, he can lift at least 155.4 lb
due to his speech patterns, avery seems to have a pretty keen ability to associate things with psychic types, or pokemon in general. he often incorporates different psychic type moves in his speech and talks about people (or, the player, specifically) as if they have like. pokemon natures (bold, quirky, hasty, etc.)
avery strongly values elegance and tries to conduct himself in a very gentlemanly way <3 however, he's not immune to being sassy and definitely will be snooty to someone's face
besides the psychic type uniform, avery's clothing is definitely 19th-century inspired! his hat, cravat, shoes, and socks are definitely inspired by victorian dandyism imo. even his glasses are very victorian
THIS IS ALL I HAVE FOR RIGHT NOW.... this is (almost) every piece of canon info i have abt my sweet booboo bear avery *kisses him*... i can also delve into headcanons but. i thought i would delve into the actual factual stuff

Aroace Hunter Week Day 1: Cosmic Frontier/Space
“Hunter?”
An answering groan came from behind the couch, and Gus leaned on the back, peering down at Hunter. “You finished, huh?”
One hand reached dramatically for the ceiling. “Need… more… Cosmic Frontier… books…”
“Yeah… that’s the last of them, buddy. There are no more.”
“Where’s the author? I’m going to demand he publish another.”
“He’s like, old now.”
“So’s Eda, that doesn’t stop her from doing crazy stuff.”
Gus wiggled his eyebrows. “What if I told you… that there’s a whole internet worth of Cosmic Frontier books? More than we could read in a lifetime? And we don’t need to commit crimes to get new content?”
Hunter sat straight up. “I’d say you’re lying. Go on.”
“It’s true! Luz was telling me that she used to write a lot of what was called ‘fanfiction’ for Azura, where she continued storylines, or made up entirely new ones with the same characters! And she just put them online! For free! For anyone to read!”
“You can do that?! Just make up content?! Without being the original author?”
“Apparently! And I bet there’s some for Cosmic Frontier!”
Hunter launched himself towards the stairs. “What are we waiting for?! Let’s go!”
Gus scrambled up the stairs with him, going all the way up to Luz’s room. “Luz can we borrow your computer, it’s super important, we need to find Cosmic Frontier content this instant.”
Luz rolled her chair to her desk. “Oh my gosh, I’ve been waiting for this moment. Welcome to my realm. Here.” She pulled up a webpage. “Library of Our Own is a good place to start, they have a good filtering system so that you can take out any search results you might not want to read.”
Hunter took her hands. “Luz. I don’t think you understand. I will read. All. Of the Cosmic Frontier content. That I can find.”
One of Luz’s eyebrows went up, but she shook her head, handing him the computer. “Alright, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Thank you. We will return your laptop in three to five business days.”
Hunter grabbed the computer and headed for the door.
“Wait, I’ll need it before then!”
Hunter and Gus ran back to the basement, rushing to the couch. Hunter cracked his knuckles, holding down the Shift button with one finger and using his index finger to hit the c. then o. then s. Gus groaned.
“Ohhhhhhh you type so slooooowwwww.”
“I am making sure I spell it correctly, Gus.”
F… r… o…
Gus reached over him, typed in the remainder of the word, and hit enter.
“Over one hundred thousand,” Hunter whispered, “One hundred thousand books for us to read, Gus!”
“What did I tell you?! What’s the first one, what’s the first one?”
“Uhhhhh Intergalactic Relationships. Oh, I bet it’s a political setting! Uhhhhh, let’s see, Avery/O’Bailey, awesome, has our favorite characters in it.”
Gus peered at the tags. “What’s slash mean?”
“Probably there’ll be an assassination attempt or something.” Hunter clicked on the link. “I know I read faster, let me know… when you’re ready to…”
He slapped a hand over Gus’ eyes.
“Hey!” Gus tugged at his hand. “Hunter, what—let me go, what is-?”
“How do I get rid of the tab—where’s the back—LUZ,” Hunter howled, “YOUR LIBRARY IS A DEN OF INACCURACIES AND CHARACTER SLANDER!”
Gus managed to wriggle out of Hunter’s grasp long enough to take a look at the words. “Oh. Oh.”
Hunter slammed the laptop shut, hiding the offending fanfiction from view. “SLANDER,” he yelled again. His ears and face flushed a bright pink, “CALUMNY!”
“Avery and O’Bailey would never,” Gus protested, “That is so out of character! They were like…” he waved a hand. “You and me! We’re Avery and O’Bailey!”
“Exactly,” Hunter agreed, “Exactly. And plus—plus, plus, romantic and intimate relationships between crew members of differing command levels are forbidden to make sure relationships are aboveboard and not nefarious! It’s not allowed! LUZ!”
Hunter stormed up the stairs, and Gus chased after him. Luz rolled around on the floor of her room, clutching her sides and laughing.
“Luz! This isn’t funny! People are just out here posting the most—most outlandish stories that would never happen in the real Cosmic Frontier! I mean, relationship aside, even just the level of description-!”
“Thats—” Luz gasped, “That’s the—it’s the—the—point—of fanfiction!”
“Well—Hunter sputtered, “What if I—what if I wanted to just—to just—to just make Captain Avery kiss a swamp frog?! What if I—what if I made O’Bailey not a clone?!”
“That’s an important part of his character!” Gus protested, “You couldn’t!”
“Oh—oh—” Luz sat up, hiccupping. “Haaaaaaaaaaaaa. You could if you wanted. Fanfiction doesn’t have to be exactly like the original book. That’s the point! You can do whatever you want.”
“Well, I don’t want to read… to read… Avery ex O’Bailey slash!”
“Wow. You picked a winner for your first one, huh? Okay, okay, give me the laptop.” Luz opened the computer back up. “People can write what they want.”
“It’s not in character,” Gus complained, “They’re like family.”
“Burn it,” Hunter agreed.
“Alright, alright. But that’s the author’s decision, not yours. So, instead of freaking out… look here. See how I can exclude certain things? I’m going to exclude ‘Avery/O’Bailey’ aaaaaand… sort and filter. See?” She turned the screen back towards them. Intergalactic Relationships had disappeared. “Now no fic that has that relationship will be in there, okay?”
Hunter squinted at the screen. “That’s… a lot less.”
“Well, you picked a popular ship to hate with your whole heart and soul. Good luck.”
Hunter scrolled through the fics. “This will. Still keep us… oh, are you kidding me? This is another lower-ranked crewmate with Avery! And one with O’Bailey and a new recruit called Y/N?! Luz, why are there so many of these?! They’re not allowed! In the Cosmic Frontier universe!”
“They might explore that in the fic, actually, forbidden romance is a popular trope. Look, if you want to see some no-ship, platonic content, maybe you should just write some yourself? Finding it here might be hard.”
“I do want platonic family content. We can do that? But we’re not professional writers!”
“Neither is anyone else on this site. Well, some of them might be. But mostly not. Point is, anyone can write Cosmic Frontier fanfiction. If you’re struggling to find the content you want, you might just have to make it yourself.”
Gus tugged on Hunter’s sleeve. “Remember the other clone that broke free like O’Bailey, then got killed protecting Avery?”
“Yeah, 78. That was… really depressing.”
“Okay, hear me out, hear me out.” Gus spread his hands out. “We make up a way for him to have lived!”
Hunter brightened. “And he can be secretly working to take down the clonemasters, just like O’Bailey is!”
“Then we can make him meet up with the crew, and he can join the family!”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! He can take the oath! And then it can be about him figuring out all of the dynamics between the crew and learning to be a part of a family that isn’t like the clonemasters!”
“Right! I think there could be a lot of conflict where he still kind of thinks that Avery is like a clonemaster, but eventually, he realizes that O’Bailey and Avery are actually friends and brothers!”
“Yeah! Let’s do it!”
“Okay!” Gus snatched the laptop from Hunter’s hands. “But I’m going to do the typing.”
“Fair enough.”

Time for a pinned post!
Greetings to new followers! I’m Bearded Cashew, you can call me Cash/9-Volt/Volt/Avery/Sophocles/Soffy/Taranza! I’m an autistic, panromantic gray-asexual, working class Mexican-American proshipper/pro-fic/anti-harassment from the US. I use he and they but I don’t really mind. I’m currently 29 but it’s more like I’m both a boomer and grade schooler at the same time lmao. I’m staunchly pro-capitalist/anti-communist, pro-landlord, skeptical of unions, support allowing autistic people the choice to seek a cure if that’s what they want (such as myself) and center-right.
At the time of publication of this post and unless noted later, I do not and will not follow/unfollow people, delete posts/reblogs or tag posts by ANYONE’s request. Unless your post says not to interact, I’m reblogging it. I can’t check every single blog for their DNI, if they even have it accessible in the first place. I also will not contact anyone to delete reblogs of my posts, tell them who they can follow or to tag their posts for me. If I do tag posts, it’s only for my benefit.
More stuff under the “keep reading” banner.
My interests are the shows M*A*S*H, Amazing Race, Space Cases, Two and a Half Men, the anime hack//SIGN, Black Butler, Hetalia, Interspecies Reviewers, Pokémon, and Kirby and WarioWare game series.
As I mentioned, I’m a proshipper and my list of ships including f/o is here. I’ll update them whenever. My line of thinking for them is simply “I just think they’re neat” said in Marge Simpson’s voice. I have no interest in them being anything more than romantic.
I also have a little list of kintypes and comfort characters if you’re curious. I will not yell at you for being a double or anything like that.
I don’t have much of a DNI, it’s more like “I’m less likely to follow you back” since I usually follow back people. That link goes into more detail about it but generally I’m less likely to follow back if:
Anti-shipper/fanpol who supports doxing/harassing/suibaiting/sending gore/csem to people for being proshipper/ships in general
Supports cringe content
Anti-otherkin/anti-fictionkin
Sjw
Trump Derangement Syndrome (basically making hating him your whole personality instead of just simply hating him)
Far-left/communist/socialist/antifa/extremist or sympathetic to that
