Would Nikey recruit some of the other Pokèmon villains to his cause or would they be on the side of the resistance?
I feel like Team Aqua and Magma would be against them for obvious reasons.
Team Skull is just there and Team Rocket is doing things in their own dark corner.
Team Plasma, Galatic, and Flare could join them as admins with their whole “Taking Over the World” stick.
The Aether Foundation/Lusimine would have mixed feelings. She probably would not like the sky destroying the world made for her beautiful Ultra Beasts, but that would give her motivation to work for Nikey so she can still have sunlight for her enclosure.
QUICK WARNING I might’ve gotten a few of these out of character for the leaders. Specifically Ghetsis and Lysander, those are toughies and enigmas to me, but I tried my best! (I’m so sorry Ghetsis enjoyers)
In one of my previous headcanons posts I did state that Winona is working with Archie and Maxie to help create sustainable life on Earth again.
Team Skull would be just as they are before, just a bunch of hooligans making things way harder than they need to be for The Sun’s Children. Plumeria doesn’t want them messing around with Winona or any of her colleagues though, they’re dealing with enough already.
Team Rocket is of course up to no good stealing peoples Pokémon and money. They’re still operating without a leader though, as Giovanni never came back to Team Rocket, so they’re just treated like regular ol’ criminals. Speaking of Jail, it’s actually a pretty decent place to be since Winona began her leadership.
Team Plasma… Oh Team Plasma. It’s always been a thing with me that Mikey had always hated Team Plasma with all his heart, ESPECIALLY and almost specifically Ghetsis. So when Ghetsis came walking into Nikey’s office all those years later, he nearly had a goddamn heart attack. I mean hey, the dude nearly killed him, and WAS going to kill him if N didn’t step in. (Events of BW2).
Nikey is very uncomfortable with Ghetsis and still thinks he’s a goddamn creep. Ghetsis kept getting way too close for comfort in his visit to Nikey, so much so that Nikey himself started to not be as handsy with people as he normally is even months after he visited. (again, hes not handsy in a sexual way).
He either: 1. Very reluctantly decided to work with him and distance himself as much as possible from Ghetsis, or 2. Threw him into the worst jail cell he had on hand and kept him there for god knows how long. (Can you blame him? Like I said the man nearly killed him.) That or he banned him to live under the gloom. God knows Winona wouldn’t accept him into The Sun’s Children. Maybe Ghetsis starts to cook up his own plans… :)
Team Galactic was reformed after the events of Spear Pillar as we saw in DPPT (and BDSP if you want to count those) under the command of Saturn. As it’s new form was (and I believe I’m remembering correctly) an energy company as they once masqueraded as, Winona would absolutely be working with them as to keep the abundance of artificial lights under the smog lit and working properly. Can’t have a total black out now can we?
As for Cyrus, his whole ideal world was one without spirit or emotion as he was unhealthily dealing with his own mental health issues and took it to the extreme. I don’t think he’d want anything to do with Team Nightsky, especially after the events of Spear Pillar.
As for Team Flare, I don’t really have a good gauge on what the team as a whole acts like, much less their admins. I don’t even really remember their names. But Lysander, if I remember correctly, was similar to Cyrus in a way that he took his own issues with the world and decided to deal with it in an extreme way. He’s a philanthropist who genuinely wanted to believe in the good of people, but it just kept backfiring as he realized just how awful people could be. So he took it to the extreme, trying to end the world and make it more beautiful by be-ridding it of awful people (if I remember correctly). Considering how awful Nikey is, I don’t think Lysander would have any desire to work with him, especially after his loss in Kalos.
And last but not least, The Aether Foundation. I’d always avoided Lusamine’s game counterpart as I believe that her anime counterpart is much more how she actually is, my own personal opinion. As a result I don’t have a good gauge of her in SM/USUM, despite being my first Pokémon games. But I do know that her desires did not stem into most of the rest of the Aether Foundation’s, especially Wicke’s, so I will be speaking on that instead.
The Aether Foundation as we know is made to help endangered Pokémon recover and release them back into the wild. As I’ve went into detail into how the world was effected by the smog in my headcanon posts, we know that wild Pokémon are struggling immensely. This is something Aether has dealt with a lot in terms of natural disasters effecting many Pokémon at once, so they have quite a bit of experience with this. Winona would absolutely work with them to help and rescue wild Pokémon and help them recover. Building more paradises across the world in places Winona does not have reach. If I remember correctly, at the end of SM/USUM, Lusamine does start on a better path, so I have my doubts she’d work with Nikey, and as an extension Team Nightsky, at all. If she decided to stray off that better path for whatever reason, I think she might if she burns through her other options first.
Faba, however, is an enigma to me.
Really quickly I would like to point out that since Nikey had gotten stuck in the past, he would have an opportunity to defeat all of these evil teams himself, which I actually believe is what happened with Team Flare kudos to a reddit comment I received two months ago. So I thought for a moment it’d be interesting for Lysander to originally think Nikey was a good man before his rule, but then I realized that would break my reality of Nikey having accidentally traversed realities instead of just time traveling. I might change Nikey having saved Kalos, I might not. Who knows! I think it’d be interesting for Mikey to see his future self on the news held as a hero for saving the world. Maybe that’s when Mikey realizes Nikey might be having a change of heart. :)
ANYWAYS there is absolutely a gang of assassins out for Nikey’s blood, have fun with that! He’s very cautious of new recruits/people he doesn’t trust being near him. He already has 15 attempts to his name. He rarely lets people come into his office for meetings, unless it’s someone he trusts. Even then he doesn’t really fully trust anyone. Unless it’s- *COGHCOUGHCOUGH* sorry what was I gonna say? Don’t remember ;) Anyways you can imagine why he was so shaken up about Ghetsis being in his office. He got a lot more strict with who he lets into his office after that.
WHOO BOY THAT WAS A LONG ONE. This was really fun to write! Though I might’ve written some peoples actions out of character for them. Honest mistake! Hope you enjoyed reading this!

- Cyrus is a broken man. After gaining his freedom from The Distortion World along with his Pokemon, he started to have thoughts of remorse. He’d never go back and commit such heinous acts though he’d also never be able to be wholly good either.
- His team has been whittled down to a few select Pokemon.
HOUNDOOM | HONCHKROW | CROBAT
- my hc for Cyrus is that he went on to be a wanderer, and never appeared in USUM

HC - Nihilism
Between coping with what he experienced in the Distortion World and the realization of what happened with Dialga, one struggle that Lucas had was that of a nihilistic thought pattern. This was partly influenced by some passing conversations he had with Cyrus, and there was one point where he found himself wondering if he was right. If there’s no underlying meaning in life, then what’s the point?
The weight of that epiphany - combined with what had happened to him -nearly crushed him, and they probably would have if Lucas didn’t take off for Johto when he did. And then to Kalos...and then to Alola.
They say that traveling allows you to put things into perspective, and this wasn’t an exception. The conclusion Lucas came to is: even if there isn’t a meaning to anything, that doesn’t mean there’s no point. In fact, doesn’t that mean that you get to put your own meaning into it? Set your own goals, dedicate yourself to accomplishing them, and move on to the next goal you set for yourself?
That realization was an oddly comforting one, and it ultimately helped him accept what had happened to him.
TLDR: Lucas’ viewpoints are somewhat similar to Cyrus in that he can be a little nihilistic...but in a complete contrast to the Galatic Leader, Lucas’ nihilism comes from a place of hope.

/)///v///(\ for - to everyone's surprise - grumpy spacedolt pls? :v
"So..... you're friends with the former leader of Team Galatic?"
Summer grinned. "Yep! Cyrus is nice, and his Pokemon are cute!"
Cecilia blinked slowly. "The same Pokemon that he had.....when....you know-"
"When he tried to make a new world, yes. You can just say it, you know."
"It's weird, Chief! Like, why would anyone want to go along with something like....that!"
Summer shrugged. "I would've, at one point. Besides, Cyrus is getting help now, and he wants to be better. That's what is important."
