I need, in my life, Post-Indigo Disk, Drayton being the only one who realizes this chick who fell out of the sky because of Celebi—who has brown and green hair in a weird pattern that suspiciously resembles two people he knows—is Kiki and Juli's future daughter
Drayton: Hey, don't you think her hair looks kind of...interesting?
Kieran: It's the same shade of brown as Juliana's <3
Drayton, standing in front of him: Okay, but what else?
Kieran: ...
Kieran, who was watching Juliana tell the girl about Miraidon: Well, I'd be able to tell you if you weren't blocking my way!
Carmine does catch on, but a part of her thinks it's funny to pretend that she doesn't get the very logical conclusion he's pointing out because it's so rare for her to be the one with the upper hand??
It gets better when the girl catches on to what Aunt Carmine's doing, and she's like, "sorry, Uncle Drayton, this is for all the times you played a prank on me. Aunt Carmine's my favorite now <3"

One thing about my worldbuilding that isn't really important, I just think it's cute: the Pokemon anime is a TV show within the main gameverse and it's meant to educate kids about certain Pokemon while telling it's own story that's very, very, verrry loosely based on Red's journey.
#saying bc castor caught a few episodes of it and hes a fan#i take a few things from it or at least inspirations from it but for the most part its its own thing#also i think red watches the show and really likes it. hes really flattered. blue thinks gary is funny as hell#the main thing i take is the implications behind meowth's character but he's not a legit example of a pokemon learning to talk#idk if that makes sense. also humans assume that each and every pokemon speak the same language#when... its not like they cannot communicate with each other. this is where aura and telepathy kind of come in#every pokemon is capable of some form of telepathy that varies among species#but untrained- they can talk with their own species and others within that family- like canine pokemon can talk to each other#but otherwise nope. they cant really talk with one another. at least not inherently#its something a pokemon can be trained to do like extend their telepathy so that feline and equine pokemon can hear them#and it takes a LOT to learn how to do that with a human#usually caught pokemon naturally learn to do this since theyre usually exposed to a ton of different pokemon#... mayyyybe theres a quality in pokeballs that helps with that? i dont know i havent figured that out yet#also its easier to learn how to hear other species talk than it is to actually speak it#so a lot of caught pokemon can understand what their trainer is saying and ofc can hear battle commands#but they wont be able to actually talk to them#in pmd however this is all completely out the window. all pokemon understand one another and they also understand humans#bc their auras evolved overtime so that telepathy with all pokemon is natural to them#idk why that is yet exactly... i have to iron that out but these are my ideas for now#maybe it was something the legendaries did... it could also just be a side effect of pokemon growing to have their own civilizations#it is VERY weird for castor when he enters bc he hadnt learned telepathy with every type yet but suddenly bam he knows everything#and its very surreal to him to suddenly have a steelix talking to him#echoed voice

I love when pokemon games use a character’s team to tell us more about them.
Take Ghetsis from black and white 2 for example. Did you know that his Hydreigon can use the move frustration at maximum power? frustration is a move that gets more powerful the more a pokemon dislikes their trainer, which means that Ghetsis’ Hydreigon literally hates him.
Did you know that his Hydreigon is also a whole ten levels below when the pokemon would normally evolve? While this isn’t uncommon for NPC’s in pokemon games, you could make the argument that this specific instance of it suggests that Ghetsis somehow forced his pokemon to evolve earlier than it ever would have naturally, which isn’t exactly out of character for him.
I’m not even done with Ghetsis and his affront towards nature yet lmao. Did you also know that his Hydreigon is specifically designed to counter N’s team? Y’know, his own foster son.
It has dragon pulse for his legendary
Fire blast for his Vanillux and Klingklang
And focus blast for Carracosta, Zoroark and Archeops
He also has a Cofagrigus who can nullify the legendary’s ability with his mummy ability.
It’s very likely that no matter the outcome of N’s battle with us, Ghetsis was always going to turn on his son to take the dragon for himself. And looking at his team I could believe he would succeed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Let's look at a slightly more recent example.
In pokemon sword and shield, chairman Rose actually does some preparations before waking up Eternatus, specifically it seems that he did some research into Eternatus’ typing (Poison/Dragon) and designed his team to counter it. He brought a full team of steel types to fight it, which are not only immune to poison but also heavily resist dragon as well. With everything he knew, it really was one of the smartest choices he could have made.
But if he was so prepared then how did Eternatus wipe the floor with him so quickly? Surely he could have easily defeated the legendary and capture it himself right? 
Well there was one thing Rose didn’t take into account when designing his team. One thing he couldn’t have possibly known, even with his extensive research into the creature.
Eternatus knows flame thrower.
He brought nothing but steel types.
He never stood a chance.

What if the turtles were in the pokemon world? And what if they were never turtles, but in fact, mutated pokemon? What if they lived in the Castelia sewers of Unova instead of New York?
Meet my Rise/Pokemon AU!! Waaaah this has been on my mind for MONTHS now. Pokemon is that one fixation that'll never leave me. I'm THAT pokemon fan that knows WAAAAY too much about the games and lore. For those that don't know,
Raph is Drednaw
Leo is Wartortle
Mikey is Torkoal
Donnie is Lapras
Yes. They are all shiny. I started with raph, since him as drednaw is pretty much a no brainer. The shiny form fit too well with him and his color scheme. Than I realized if I made him shiny, I had to make the other bros shiny as well so THEY ALL SHINY. (draxum shiny hunter confirmed?) Also dual rock typing fits well with raph's character.
Wartortle for leo was also a pretty obvious choice. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM. Long flowy tail? Yes please. I had to keep his markings somehow. Wartortle has little dark cheek spots, so I just changed them to be leo's markings. Water typing leo. Go with the flow, think on the spot, it worked out too well.
Torkoal for Mikey was another easy one. Fire turtle? Passionate, warm, also DANGEROUS (he can be a menace ok) Say no more. His powers in rise are already pyro related. Also having him shiny helped a lot with the color scheme. Torkoal is normally orange so having mikey be the yellow shiny form meant I didn't have to mess with his mask colors
Donnie on the other hand....OHHH BOI I STRUGGLED WITH YOU. I went through 4 DIFFERENT POKEMON, before deciding on the least turtle like of them all. I am aware that we do have a softshell pokemon with enamorous, but it's a legendary so thats not happening. But it was really important for me to keep donnie's soft shell and battle shell. I wanted this to be a RISE au and donnie's battle shell is pretty tied into his character. (there's also tirtouga which I almost went with, but I didn't like that both he and raph shared the exact same dual typing) Soooo, Lapras. Its more of a loch ness monster but it also draws inspiration from a placochelys (prehistoric seaturtle esque species) so IM COUNTING IT. Very unconventional but I have my reasons. Ice typing is a good offensive type, but is pretty bad defensively. Which ties into rise donnie's fighting style. If I wasn't a coward, I wouldve made donnie the biggest of the bros. Since lapras is like 8 feet tall compared to the others being like 1-3 feet. But uhhh, I swear I have an in universe explanation for why he's so small ok.
And than there's April. She is not a pokemon trainer in this au. At least not in the traditional sense. I've been with pokemon for all of my 26 years of life, and I always wanted to know what the normal people of the pokemon world are up to. Not everyone is out here collecting gym badges, travelling, or catching them all. How do non-trainers interact with the pokemon world? So that's where I'm at with April. She will get a pokemon partner, but other than that, she's just an average high schooler who befriended the turtles from a young age and takes part in all their shenanigans. I took some design elements from rosa and hilbert with her outfit, but otherwise its pretty much the same.
We'll see how far I'll take this. I've been using this as a break from my many other projects, but like everything I do, it grew too many legs and is slowly becoming its own thing.

Has this already been done? Arven, Penny, and Nemona with The Loyal Three.
Nemona is the Brawn, Penny is the Brain, which makes Arven the Beauty.
If you meant the saga of Reader introducing the Scarvi Trio to Legendaries, here it is <3
........
"How dare you bully sweet old Ogerpon?! You punks should've picked on someone your own size..like me!"
"Oh no.."
"Maybe you should've left that part of the story out, [y/n]."
"I probably could've worded it better, but I didn't think she'd freak out that much." Sighing, you turned away from Penny and Arven, looking to see Nemona scowling at the Loyal Three, giving them the reprimand of a lifetime.
Never before have any of you seen her get so....angry.
She was almost never angry at all. Not even after you've defeated her in battle over and over again did she lose her cool.
Perhaps you should avoid using the word "bully" to describe Pokémon. She was definitely acting like she was back in her early student council president days.
"I guess it makes sense why [y/n]'s friend Carmine called you the "Lousy Three"..because your attitudes were just plain lousy-!"
"Alright, Nemona. That's enough. I've already given them a lecture over it..and then some." You whistled for the trio to come to you, and they were rather quick to run over and hide behind you.
They seemed somewhat grateful that you rescued them, although Okidogi was quick to snarl as she approached, the fur on his tail becoming bristled. He cracked his knuckles with anticipation, clearly looking for a fight.
Munkidori kept trying to grab ahold of his arm, trying to discourage him from doing anything rash (such as starting a fight, which is what you specifically told them all not to do). But the larger Pokémon just huffed and tried shaking off his grip.
Fezandipiti, in the meantime, just turned his attention to Arven and Penny, trying to look anywhere but the embarrassing scene unfolding in front of him. He did like seeing their surprised faces, smirking and even stroking a wing over his head to show off.
You just shook your head, wondering how you were going to deescalate this mess yet again.
After your short trip to Kitakami, you've returned to Paldea with four extra companions: all of them being legendaries with a story tied to them.
One that turned out to be quite false.
You explained how Ogerpon was mistakenly considered the "bad guy" for many generations while the Loyal Three were deemed "heroes" who sacrificed themselves to save the village...but in reality it was the opposite.
They attacked Ogerpon for her masks and killed her trainer, and she fought back and defeated them all, yet she was scorned rather than praised, going into hiding for many years since.
After the trio was revived somehow, you went on to retrieve her masks and eventually captured them all, although of course they were anything but "loyal" and thought you were just lucky.
Not to mention they continued to annoy Ogerpon every time your back was turned, stealing bites of her sandwiches and throwing the toy ball in her face like they were playing dodgeball.
You only intervened after she nearly destroyed the picnic table with her cudgel in a fit of anger..clearly an obvious set-up by the trio who thought you'd be mad at her.
But you saw through their plan and got fed up, reminding them who exactly kicked their asses.
You didn't hold back at all.
Munkidori was quickly humbled, recalling that he got beaten up first in front of his two friends...so he apologized to Ogerpon right away. His future sight forewarned him of the consequences of acting out of line again, so he encouraged the others to do the same.
Fezandipiti, being the sassy and vain bird that he is, rolled his eyes. Although he valued his looks and would rather not get dirty from another battle with your Pokémon. He's suffered through enough of those to know it's just not worth it. So he promised to never bother Ogerpon again.
Okidogi, however, had the toughest time letting go of his pride. He refused to apologize at first, acting immature and snapping at the other two for going "soft". But he only turned over a new leaf after you threatened to stop giving them all mochi.
You meant it as a joke, although it was super effective in making the stubborn poison/fighting type panic and apologize to her, willing to do whatever you wanted from there on.
That day, you quickly learned that just like Koraidon/Miraidon..you held power over some mighty Pokémon.
Not with any special items or ancient relics, but with ordinary food.
So with the Loyal Three finally in your control, now seemed to be the perfect time to properly introduce them to your closest friends in Paldea.
Although...you weren't expecting Nemona to scold them like you did, nor did you think she'd still have such an intense staredown with Okidogi.
"Nemona." You warned again.
She snapped out of her trance and looked to you, frowning a little. "Sorry about that, [y/n]. It's just...whenever I hear a sad story about someone getting bullied just for defending themselves..I get heated. Especially if it's between Pokémon."
"I understand." You gave her a reassuring smile, before you reached up to pet Okidogi's arm. "Don't worry, big guy. When I said she was great at battling, I didn't mean with words."
He only snorted in response, but otherwise remained silent as his haunches relaxed.
"I promise you're gonna absolutely love her strategies. She helped me become a great trainer....I learned a lot from her."
"...you did?" Stars formed in Nemona's eyes at your praises, both hands going to her chest as her smile grew. "Awh, [y/n] that's so sweet of you!"
'Well it's true, but-"
"Hold on." She interrupted, staring at the doglike Pokémon. "Does Okidogi actually wanna battle me???"
His ears perked up, and he smiled and nodded his head, to which she gasped with excitement. "Oh can I please battle him, [y/n]???" She clasped her hands together. "I wanna see what he's got!"
"Of course." You chuckled.
"Wait, what's happening?"
"Nemona's gonna try to fight a Legendary? You sure that's a good idea?"
Turning around, you were met with the confused and concerned looks of Penny, Arven, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.
But seeing them all standing there gave you another idea, causing a bigger grin to form on your face. "I got it..how about you guys have a battle with them, too? It could be a great way for you all to get to know each other!"
"Huh, that sounds like something I'd orchestrate...but I'm loving the idea!" Nemona agreed, before she and Okidogi rushed to get into their battle positions.
"Okay, so she and Oki got a battle of the brawns going on. Which leaves..." You spun around and pointed to Penny, then Munkidori. "...you and him to have a battle of the brains!"
"I'm not sure about that," she mumbled. "You have that much confidence in me?"
'Of course I do. You fight well with your Eeveelutions, so I'm sure you'll be able to outwit Munki somehow."
"Mmmikay?" The poison/psychic blinked, although he seemed to take that as a challenge and huffed confidently, looking to Penny.
"......alright. Let's do this, I guess." She sighed in defeat before the two went to do battle somewhere nearby.
You then looked at Arven. "Well uh...this is a little awkward, but-"
"Fezandipiti and I are gonna be the "battle of the beauty"...of course." He chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. "I haven't freshened up my battling skills since the tournament, but I wouldn't mind a little practice."
"Yip-ippy!" The birdlike Pokémon trilled, flying over to a random spot as Arven quickly chased him down, Mabosstiff not too far behind him.
Now that it was just you and Ogerpon standing side-by-side, she turned to you with a look of confusion. "Pon?" She took out one of her masks, tilting her head.
"Oh no. We've already had our battle and I got to learn so much about you." You chuckled, gently patting her head between the horns. "But if you want...maybe they can battle you later and see how your masks work. How about that?"
"Hmm....pon!! Ponni!!!"
"Haha, I thought so. Until then, we'll be their cheerleaders."

Can I request platonic Mewtwo hc’s? Maybe Mewtwo could also communicate with its trainer through telepathy, similar to the anime.
Ohhh, Mewtwo could be fun! Sorry for the long wait :)
Overprotective! Mewtwo Concept
Pairing: Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Overprotective behavior, Manipulation, Mind reading, Violence, Murder, Blood, Slight gore, Forced companionship.
Tumblr media
Before meeting you, Mewtwo spent most of its life in isolation.
It was created from Mew's DNA to be a weapon... a powerful Pokemon devoid of compassion.
When it escaped the labs, creating destruction where ever it went, it fled into one of the deepest caves in the Kanto region.
Mewtwo didn't expect to be found... It didn't want to be found.
Humans only caused trouble....
But then, years later, he met you.
You were Kanto's newest "Champion" who had heard rumors of a rare Pokemon deep in Cerulean Cave.
Once you managed to surf your way through to the cave and crawl deep within... you were greeted with Mewtwo.
Mewtwo wasn't fond of you, the idea of humans still finding it down here irked it.
"You are a foolish human to come down and find me."
The voice of the Pokemon rings in your head, its tail flicking.
"Begone with you!"
So battle ensues.
Your team was trained to deal with strong threats like this so you mostly handled things quite well.
By the end of it, a ball was tossed and Mewtwo was sealed.
Your "bond" with the legendary starts rocky.
Mewtwo was used to violence and being used.
It often ignored you and the little communication it did in your head with telepathy was usually cruel.
You often tried to get along, feeding the Pokemon and trying to touch it.
Mewtwo usually batted your hand away with a snarl.
"Stop trying to be nice! I am at your command, aren't you going to use me for your pitiful ideals?"
However, no matter how cruel Mewtwo was with you... You were never cruel back.
Mewtwo often observed how you treated your own team.
Despite how strong they were trained, it was done with care.
Mewtwo never understood compassion...
Not until it grew closer with you.
You surprisingly rarely used Mewtwo in battle.
You stuck with your team but kept Mewtwo around.
It had no idea for what... for chatter?
Why do you enjoy talking to it?
Mewtwo wonders if you know about its true nature.
Did you know that it's killed before?
Are you naive?
Mewtwo had no idea why it even decided to play along with this.
Did it really enjoy your company?
You treated it more like a fellow human than Pokemon.
You often wanted it to speak with you through telepathy... and it felt comfortable with this.
Mewtwo eventually began to see you as a companion.
You were technically its master, but it didn't see you like that.
Soon enough the powerful legendary even allowed you to pet it.
It felt nice... it has trouble admitting that.
Mewtwo has a vague sense of what compassion is, but it's still a weapon.
Compassion is only given to you and maybe some of your Pokemon.
You have tamed Mewtwo for the most part.
However... all that comes crumbling down the moment you're attacked by Team Rocket.
Mewtwo already had issues with other trainers.
The Pokemon would glare at those you communicated with, still not used to human contact.
Although, Team Rocket was a group Mewtwo couldn't cooperate with at all.
Mewtwo remembers what they did to it.
Which is why when it senses you in danger and comes out of its ball... the Pokemon freezes.
Team Rocket heard that the Champion had managed to tame Mewtwo and wanted to utilize that.
The thought makes Mewtwo shake.
Not from fear...
Rage.
It's at this point you lose control of the legendary
"How dare you touch them... I am not for you to use! I belong here... and I plan to stay beside them."
You can imagine that the end result isn't pretty....
Mewtwo has killed before, if you didn't know that before... this was proof.
Mewtwo doesn't feel any remorse when it attacks.
By the end of it there's corpses on the ground and Mewtwo's covered in splatters of gore.
"They'll blame you... You know that, right?"
Mewtwo's voice echoes in your mind, turning to you with a piercing purple gaze.
"Let us flee. I can find somewhere they'll never find you or me."
When you don't move, the Pokemon frowns.
"You see me as a monster, don't you, Champion?"
When you stare, Mewtwo steps closer before using telekinesis to drag you close.
The Pokemon mimics an embrace, even if you fear it.
"Let's be honest, human... I was always a monster... something that shouldn't exist..."
Mewtwo pulls you along, away from the murder scene.
"You may have changed me slightly..."
Its grip tightens as it carries you.
"But I will always be that very same monster."

Silly little idea but what if Volo in the masters timeline meets someone who looks just like his S/O from the past
so do you mean like they were pulled through a portal or like their descendant. going for former but latter is interesting too
cw: short, pasio volo,
pairing: Volo/Reader
Many things in life made curiosity swell within Volo's mind. It was why he was often scolded by Cogita and Ginter about abandoning his duties to explore old ruins or investigate artefacts that he found lying around the region. This sense of wonder only would increase in such a land as Pasio. That portal truly had brought him to a place that seemed almost mythical in its existence. Powerful trainers abound in droves, legendaries were almost as common a sight as their regular counterparts, conspiracies, and organisations devoted to various beliefs found their way to this strange place. It was truly little wonder that Volo himself had ended up here.
His desperate prayers for a place to finally extract the will that he so desperately wished for were answered. Arceus would likely appear here sooner than one might think. All three of its creations were here, after all. In possession of trainers that he would not dare poke alone… No, Volo would have to tread these waters carefully. Rei had been pulled here, too. Foolishly, it seemed that he had not alerted anyone to the meeting they had on Mount Coronet. Volo had more than enough room to act and gather the information that he needed.
It was as he strolled through the city square, observing conversations among the people around, that one person particularly caught his eye. That hair colour reminded him of someone… He blinked as he turned to observe the person from the front. For a moment, he truly believed that his heart stopped. You…? What were you doing here? Had you pulled here? He stood stiffly as the wind blew through the area. You gazed back at him with eyes that held no strong emotion.
You… It was you, was it not? Did you not recognise him? He was not in any disguise… He was plainly himself. There were a few people who had resembled those of his time around the island, but he knew that they were entirely separate people. This person before him was without a doubt his lover, however. Too many small details aligned perfectly with his recollection of them. He swallowed. But… That Rei and Lucas… Their similarities were chief in his mind as he contemplated his thoughts. They barely had few things that separated them. Only memories.
This you… A version of you before you had fallen into Hisui. One that had no idea of the plans Volo had — One that lacked the relationship that he had with you. Part of the blond wanted to yell about how cruel the creation continuously was to him, but another knew that this situation was partly on him. He shook off whatever negative feelings wanted to consume his mind and brought his friendly smile to his lips. “Hello,” his hand waved at you, “Sorry for staring, I thought that you were someone I knew!”
Those words seemed to make whatever distress you had vanished.
Volo easily would worm his way into this you's life. He truly had been missing his partner… Perhaps, this was his wish granted again.
You, foolishly, were just happy that a handsome man clearly wanted your time and attention.

Can I get Heartslabyul with male Pokémon Trainer S/O who just has a Darkrai? S/O managed to befriend the nightmare Pokémon than catch him, so he decided to willingly go into the Master Ball or in his trainer's shadow
Darkrai is one of my favorite pokemon, so I had to ask.
Heartslabyul & Darkrai
{not proof-read}
I hope you know, Darkrai was the second dark legendary Pokémon I’ve ever caught (that was in Arceus). My first was Yveltal from X&Y
==================================

Riddle isn’t one to believe in eye tricks or scary stories without proof but he couldn’t deny seeing your shadow move on its own behind you. It was like Sam’s, but it was different. It didn’t look like you at all
Again, not wanting to believe in something with no proof, ignored it until it popped up again. You were simply hanging out when he saw what looked like your shadow fidgeting with other object’s shadows. Now he couldn’t ignore it
Being reasonable, he decided to tell you that he thinks your shadow is moving by it’s own which he knows sounds stupid. Only for you to give a somewhat knowing look before saying “Darkrai!” Suddenly, your shadow stopped moving and out it came. Welp, guess he has his proof now
Now that he knew of its existence, he was sort of hyper-aware of it. He saw the way you battled with Darkrai and how well you were bonded together. It made him happy to know such a being could make you this happy
He didn’t really expect Darkrai to be so friendly, especially when it’s called the nightmare pokemon but he’s been wrong before. It loves to help with unbirthday parties and dormitory chores. It even has its own little pink scarf to care for the flamingos with!
Riddle enjoys having tea with Darkrai and even makes sure there is Pokémon-safe food and drinks for it to enjoy. It’s fun just seeing them relax with each other

Surprisingly, Ace has a very good memory. It comes with the tricks business. So of course he’s noticed if your shadow did something…not shadow-like. Instead of saying something, however, he just decided to observe it. See what happens
It was only when he saw the shadow fidgeting with other shadows, including his own, that he brought it up to you. It wasn’t something he could ignore and had enough proof to prove it if you didn’t believe him
He was fully expecting you to call him crazy, but instead you just called out “Darkrai!” and there he spawned behind you. Well, that explains the shadows
At first, he was wary of it. I mean, it was called the nightmare Pokémon in his defense. But seeing how well you battled, how in sync you were, and how close you two were, he settled down a bit. You were in good hands…claws…? Eh, whatever
Ace was actually pretty shocked to see just how friendly Darkrai was. It helped him with dormitory chores and lessons, and even helped him come up with new prank ideas
He never thought Darkrai to be a prankster. Ace loves planning pranks with the Pokémon and seeing the reactions of his victims. You’ve had to pull them out of trouble a few times before
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Deuce always felt like he’d seen your shadow move or flicker on its own. He never brought it up because he thought that it was just his eyes playing trick on him. Besides, there’s no way a shadow could move on its own, right?
He pretty much ignored it until he literally saw your shadow messing around with other shadows, including his own. That’s when he decided to bring it up, now not being able to ignore it
When he did, he really thought you’d call him stupid or that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Instead, you just called “Darkrai!” and almost immediately your shadow shifted. At least now his eyes weren’t playing tricks
Deuce couldn’t help but initially worry about you. He knew you said you had a good bond but with it literally being called the nightmare Pokémon…he had his doubts. It wasn’t until he saw you both battle and the extent of said bond that his doubts withered away
He never expected Darkrai to be so friendly. It often liked to help Deuce with dormitory duties, homework, and the like. He had grown used to having it around
Deuce would often just do his duties with Darkrai but it always helped when it came to punk students who don’t know any manners. It was also when Deuce realized how protective it was of him, and of you
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Cater likes to keep things to himself sometimes, seeing it as bothersome to others and himself. That’s why he didn’t really think much when he thought he saw your shadow moving independently from you
It was only when it became more frequent, and he actually saw it unfold in front of his eyes, did he finally say something. Your shadow didn’t really look like you and it was fidgeting with other shadows around it, hopping around basically
Sure, he expected a weird look or maybe a dismissal from you, but instead you just said “Darkrai!” and your shadow immediately moved and transformed, becoming more physical. He wish he had his phone out for this
Cater was a little weary since it was literally called the nightmare Pokémon, but he trusted you when you said you had a good bond. I mean, he probably has enough proof already what with all the photos and videos he’s taken of you both
You’d think that a nightmare Pokémon would be scary, but Cater found that to be otherwise. Darkrai was super friendly and loved posing for his magicam
Speaking of magicam, you often see your Darkrai and Cater doing various poses, trends, and filters for his magicam. It’s a treat to see them bond together
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Trey doesn’t really think about anything supernatural since, while he knows that it exists, he doesn’t really think about it too much. So seeing your shadow move a bit out of the corner of his eye didn’t really draw his attention
However, as he saw it move more and more and become less human-like, he couldn’t deny that something supernatural was indeed happening. So he brought it up
When he did, he even said how silly it sounded, but you just shook your head and called out “Darkrai!” Before his very eyes, your shadow morphed and became physical and there before him stood this supposed “Darkrai”. It was a bit disorienting
Trey could tell how good your bond was just from how you both fought together and interacted together. He could really see the care between you two and it eased him to know you were both in good hands
Trey also loves how helpful Darkrai is. It helps makes his vice dorm head duties much easier and even helps keep unruly kids in line for his and the dorm head’s sake. He couldn’t be more grateful
He likes to show his gratitude and bonding time through his baking hobby, having Darkrai help him back it even giving it Pokémon-safe foods to eat

Zero has an edgy pokémon coma theory, and I kind of love it.
Tumblr media
Obviously this is contradicted by a bunch of things, and presumably isn't secret lore the devs decided to include. But in the spirit of demonstrating how easy it is to develop a plausible conspiracy theory with sufficiently hyperactive pattern-matching, here's some "evidence" we found:
Apart from Wishiwashi, which might be a separate phenomenon (where do the extras even come from when it does Schooling?), no pokémon which is actually multiple pokémon exceeds a squad of six members. Falinks tops out at six, and Exeggcute has six but one of their heads exploded.
Random trainers around the map tend to only have two or three pokémon in their team. Game balance reasons? No! Only career trainers like the Elite Four or breeders bond with the maximum safe number of pokémon at once!
Gary/Blue has seven distinct pokémon, but only swaps one out when it- judging by its disappearance in the fight in Lavender Tower- literally dies.
The protagonist of gen 1, Red, shows up in the next game... totally nonverbal, hanging out at the top of a mountain, unable to interact except to battle. He's lost his mind to bonding with too many pokémon! The price of power!
Things this theory explains:
Multi-pokemon like Magneton- what makes Magneton a single pokémon, and not two or four Magnemite? Magneton is the configuration of Magnemite that's capable of bonding with a trainer as a single pokémon.
This is the function of pokéballs- they're a prosthesis for the organ pokémon have but humans don't that allows them to form psychic mind-meld links with other pokémon. It's not mind-control or convenient loyalty- you're in each other's heads now. Escape from a pokéball is rejection of the psychic link.
The original four trade evolutions- Gengar, Alakazam, Machamp, Golem- all become more humanlike on evolving. This is a side effect of trading a psychic bond with one human for another one, giving them more humanity to sample.
Things this theory makes way more sinister:
Tumblr media
The pokédex quest is way spookier under this paradigm. The box system- if you can't catch more than six, why do boxes exist? Actually, it's weird that they exist at all, isn't it? Boxing the majority of your pokémon is a weird neglectful thing that the games just kind of pretend doesn't happen- trainers rarely if ever acknowledge its existence.
What if most trainers don't HAVE boxes? What if that's something you have, because the evil professor gave you a special pokédex that can access a private computer system belonging to a confederate? For example "Bill's PC" or "Lanette's PC", as opposed to "[playername]'s PC"? You don't normally keep pokémon in indefinite stasis in a computer system- this weird app just exists to allow you to complete the pokédex without your brain exploding!
Tumblr media
In Red/Blue/Yellow, Oak gives Blue a pokédex, sure, but he clearly makes no attempt to fill it out. And... really, why would he? He didn't give his grandson the special pokédex that cares about whether you've caught pokémon. He just gave him the normal one! The one that's already filled out! Because of course a filled pokédex already exists! It's yours that records new information only when you catch stuff.
Tumblr media
The implied endgame here is... the professor wants to create a pokémon-catcher capable of melding with a legendary pokémon, to interrogate it about the secrets of life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are so many levels on which this doesn't even kinda work, but it's extremely fun to occasionally cut loose and take a swim in some cool refreshing Edge.

Ok! In a Pokemon Au of Obscura, what would be the main 3 Pokemon the LIs would use on their team? Who would most likely be a Gym Leader or a Master?
(Bless you for this question and for putting this idea into my head, nonnie. I, Tobi, am a big old pokémon nerd and if it weren't for time constraints, I would create full competitive spreads for each and every LI) Francesco I think Fran could fill different kinds of roles in this universe, either as a rival or an easy-going breeder type of trainer. His focus would be on smaller pokémon that he would slowly evolve over time without a rush. His team would look something like this: - Togepi (eventually evolves into Togekiss) - Yamask - Pawmi (- He might pick up a Drampa on the way, too)
Keir Keir's team and mentality is heavily focused on community, so I think he'd make for a great gym leader. He'd have a preference for hard-working, tough pokémon, leaning towards normal and fighting types. His team would look somewhat like this: - Conkeldurr - Hisuian Decidueye - Kangaskhan
Oleander A master of dark types! Oleander would be a trainer that comes and goes as he pleases, without taking sides. He's probably the most likely trainer to become a member of the elite 4. I imagine he'd sometimes disappear off somewhere, though. Some of his team picks: - Sableye - Liepard - Drapion
Cirrus I think he'd be more of a high-level admin of one of the enemy teams, to be honest 🙈 I imagine he'd be a pretty skilled trainer with a lot of patience, someone who wouldn't shy away from traditionally harder to raise pokémon. Part of his team might look like this: - Milotic - Hydreigon - Steelix (- Cresselia, if legendaries are allowed)

I’m rattling my brain for a vessel au version of Kieran because there’s no real legendary Pokémon who would need a vessel
Unless I used pecharunt since the toxic chain is what made the loyal three so grumpy and nasty
Kieran experiences extreme jealousy because of the player getting to be strong, getting to be the one the mythical Pokémon chooses.
A vessel in this au isn’t always a bad time if you look at the Ingo and Emmet stuff I’ve written/drawn, it can be symbiotic.
So maybe Pecharunt seeks Kieran out and makes a deal, that in exchange for greater strength and will, Kieran let’s Pecharunt hitch a ride back to Unova in the form of Kieran hair band or something of the sort
And meanwhile Kieran’s training, Pecharunt strikes more bargains with the Pokémon in the academy and spreads the toxic chain. And it spreads itself so thin it begins sapping Kieran’s life, he gets paler, more tired, he starts having nightmares about losing.
His jealousy and need to be the strongest trainer bleeds into Pechraunt’s desire for control and to feel grand, to the point the two have maybe messed together, Kieran unknowingly fusing to Pecharunt.
Sometimes he says stuff he would never say, not even on his path to being the best would he speak so weirdly. He’s become gluttonous, impatient, even more so. It’s like it’s not even him in there, it’s like something has infected his mind.

Burning Love (trainer x pokemon RP)
@thedragonpony3rdtry
Very few trainers have the privilege to hold the power of a legendary Pokémon within one of their pokeballs, beasts of such might that made them truly what their namesake is. One such trainer is Zac, who through a miraculous turn of events had access to one such legend, a Reshiram that he named Reina. Overtime, his pokemon has gained the nickname of The White Flame due to how white hot her infernos got during the midst of battle. But the thing about this trainer and pokemon relationship is that Zac was only in charge in battle, as he found her to be a lot more dominant whenever they weren’t battling or training….with him swearing that she did so just to make him flustered. Although, this was just how he saw it, it was completely unknown of the legendary truly enjoyed messing with her cute male trainer
One of the major instances that possibly confirmed his suspicions was after training, wooden dummies currently reduced to heaps of ash and Zac deciding it was likely a good time for Reina to take a break with him, suggesting to relax and enjoy the nice weather with him. Zac had always viewed training pokemon as more then just preparing a pokemon for battle, but an exercise to truly befriend the pokemon, with his belief that an emotional bond between pokemon and trainer lead to an edge in battle. Unbeknownst to him that today, his methods would lead to rather “intimate” results, none of whom being instigated by him….but by you know who

giving pokemon teams to d20 characters!
The Bad Kids / Fantasy High!
pt 1/?
part 1 || part 2
hello chat and welcome to aloe shoves their hyperfixation onto everything they enjoy! making pokemon teams for fictional characters has always been a fun past time for me that i enjoy greatly so i wanted to apply that to dimension 20! i plan on doing every season once i’ve watched it, starting with all the intrepid hero seasons before moving on to side quest seasons
(also i finally decided to post these after @jadelion made posts sharing their team picks, so go check those posts out as there are some great choices! i also wouldnt be inspired to finally post these without him doing so first! i made my list completely independent of hers so if there's the same pokemon its purely coincidental lol)
first i want to talk about some guidelines i’ve given myself for this, which will apply to future posts as well:
only 4 pokemon per team - this keeps things more easy and makes them feel closer to mid-game trainers rather than fully stacked end-game ones. or feel like gym leaders maybe? it also helps with rule 2…
try to have no repeat pokemon - this just keeps things unique between seasons but sometimes a pokemon is a perfect fit for more than one person but for the most part everyone gets unqiue pokemon and there are almost no doubles
low to no legendaries on teams unless for a good reason - same goes for shinies but im more lenient on the shiny rule lol
i made a lot of these these like 3 months ago as of posting this - some choices may be outdated or the character has changed enough that a choice may not fit as well but i didnt want to change it lol (this is solely for the fantasy high kids tbh)
thats all for the rules! finally it’s time to get into the teams!
! SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE CURRENT SEASON! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !
Kristen
Lycanroc - representing Tracker, again i made these before junior year so trackerbees was still a thing but i imagine it can count for cassandra also since it’s a night themed pokemon. don't know which form of lycanroc she would have though Solrock - she was given solrock during her time with Helio, and while i know sunflora exists i think solrock makes a little more sense, since she was a chosen of Helio she would be at an elevated status and therefor have a better pokemon if that makes sense? it also pairs with... Lunatone - representing her change to Cassandra, a goddess of night. there's like cool symbolism with her pokemon now wow isn't that so cool and awesome!! Unown ("?") - a question mark unown to represent Yes? (and the other Yes forms) along with her cool question mark staff! can also ALSO symbolize doubt with cassandra
Fig
Toxitricity (Low Key) - low key form gives the vibes of a bass and Fig plays the bass! toxitricity would help fig practice her instrument and come up with music. also literally called “the punk pokemon”
Obstagoon - similar reasoning, obstagoon has The Vibes that fit along with also being a sort of rock n roll pokemon
Moltres - representing Ayda, i imagine Ayda gifted it to her once they became girlfriends :)
Mimikyu - a pokemon known for its imitation of another pokemon, very much fits into Fig’s actor feat and her high deception and her not wanting to be her real self sometimes
Fabian
Dhelmise - big connection to his father and being a pirate, his father probably gifted it to him as his first pokemon
Marowak (Alolan) - fun idea i had for this is he originally just had a cubone with him during freshman year, but once he went to Fallinel and learned about the power of dance it evolved into an alolan marowak! it's a fire dance pokemon of course he would have it lol
Sirfetch'd - representing his mother and also his general fencing/fighter style that he works with
Tentacruel - just a cool ass water pokemon i feel he would have, also vaguely pirate-y with big kraken vibes
Riz
Pikachu - detective pikachu go brrrrr i imagine he would have gotten a pichu when very young, and it's evolved over time! it would wear a tiny detective hat as well because um i said so
Inteleon - super spy/gun pokemon also go brrrr, very much a reference to his father and just the general super spy-ness of Riz and Pok in junior year especially
Togekiss - ok this one feels very out of place and i forgot why it was here originally BUT i think it's to represent like a guardian angel sort of? again another reference to Pok because i love Pok and think he's very cool
Voltorb - he's the ball. this is a pokeball pokemon. are we starting to connect the dots
Adaine
Politoad - representing Boggy of course, nothing much else to say
Espeon - a very psychic pokemon representing her oracle powers, it would be fun to think that she had an eevee that simply evolved into an espeon once Adaine realized that she in fact was the elven oracle!
Delphox - another powerful psychic pokemon, again this is just vibes and it's a cool pokemon and adaine is a very cool character lol
Audino - these pokemon are known for being able to hear super well and know how their trainers are feeling from listening to their heartbeat. a gift given by Jawbone to help with Adaine's anxiety but still a good member of her team regardless
Gorgug
Archen - "i'm Cloaca, i suck!"
Gogoat - a grassy pokemon which can sorta represent the tree he lives in but also intended to represent Zelda in some ways (again i wrote these before junior year came out). it would help him carry around a lot of scraps for tinkering
Rotom - found in the village near the Nightmare King's forest, this rotom had gotten lost in the forest and, with no tech from solace nearby, couldn't find a way home. gorgug rescued it and lets it inhabit the Hangvan a lot
Rillaboom - another grassy pokemon but this one is also a drummer! can we take a wild guess as to why i picked this one. for it's drumming ability. because. because gorgug is a drummer.
=====
whew ok that's the first season done! i'll probably do unsleeping city next, which will be linked to this post once it's done!
have a better option that would fit a PC better? please tell me i would love to hear everyone's takes on this!
ok that's it that's the post everyone go home now (once again go look at @jadelion for their pokemon team picks!)

😔[Gravity falls au] Woah, TWO pieces of media with triangle imagery???
Notes:
-As kids Emmet was better at battling, but Ingo was generally considered the smarter/more mature. Regardless they were very close and always talked about how they wanted to be the strongest trainers in all of Unova :]
-Emmet held onto the idea of being a conductor/trainer, while Ingo drifted towards more ‘realistic’ goals. 
-Around age 20 they get in a pretty bad fight over this and part ways. Ingo goes to college somewhere and Emmet runs off to trainhop across the country
-Emmet spends the next few years slowly becoming more and more of a greasy little conman. Lying/stealing/scamming etc.
-Meanwhile Ingo moves to a remote part of the country after becoming interested in legendaries. He starts researching the distortion world/giratina. 
-Eventually this leads to him getting wrapped up with Volo, who claims to want to help him make a portal to the distortion world. He successfully builds some sort of portal thing, but figures out that Volo’s shadier than he realized.
-Emmet’s trainhopping journey leads him to Ingo’s town, and he shows up to reunite with his brother :]
-The whoopsie happens 😔
-Emmet gets pissed and challenges Ingo to a pokemon battle, situated precariously close to the active portal. He’s trying to remind Ingo of their childhood dreams, but only ends up accidentally knocking him over the yellow line. Ingo gets sucked into the distortion world, which breaks the machine.
-Emmet assumes Ingo’s identity and takes up his portal research. He builds the battle shack and turns it into a really greasy tourist trap. He gives out little stickers for beating him at a fight, which is like the pokemon world equivalent of a bootleg gym battle
