This is actually insane to me.
Over 100 kudos, 30 comments, and 14 bookmarks of this story I worked so hard on. The NPCs of Pokemon are so important to me, and I think all of them deserve a story, a background, some attention. Thank you to those who've supported me :) For those of you who have love for the gym leaders and elites of the following regions, I highly recommend you have a look at the story.

Battle; Steven
This is a Jay into her third league and being slightly bitter, leaning a little further into the ignore-everything-for-the-sake-of-battling tactic that she does so well and is super healthy for her.
She gets a li'l bit edgy. Playing into how she thinks she's ruining stuff for everyone, you know how it goes
Anyway, the song for this one is Evil and a Heathen by Franz Ferdinand
~
I stop before the last door. Steven is beyond it, but I can’t go in yet. The challenger before me is still battling. That gives me time to think. Mostly about what tune to have played during the battle.
 Vulp yawns at my feet, sitting down. Taking a short rest. Brith shifts behind me and I tilt my head to catch a glimpse of her.
 “Do you have a tune in mind?” she asks, catching my gaze.
 “A few.” I shrug. “None really…” I trail off, beginning to smirk. “I’ll be right back.”
 “Blue, where–?” she starts as I dart away.
 I find what I’m looking for fairly easily. The bathroom. Slipping inside, I jam the door shut with my bag and survey my reflection in the floor to ceiling mirrors. Time for a costume change.
 Working quickly, I pull off my trenchcoat, boots and gloves. Half sleeves on my shirt… not short enough. Neither were the trousers.
 So I strip, working quickly to get into frayed shorts that stopped just under my knees and a top that has only straps for sleeves. There. I grin at my reflection, liking the look. Maybe should do something with my hair… nah. Never had been good with messing with it.
 I shoved my other clothes into my bag, tying the boots across the straps. Far too damn hot around here for my usual wear, anyway. But of course – a cloak for cover at the moment.
 Now we were good to go. I pick up my bag, sling it over my shoulder – rearrange the cloak so it covers over my bag – and flip the hood up before leaving the bathroom, so my features are hidden.
 “You are the next challenger, I assume?” The attendant is standing by Brith, tapping his clipboard.
 “Aye, that’d be me,” I say pleasantly. “Sorry about the hold up.”
 “The previous battle is not long finished,” Brith says quietly.
 “Do you have a chosen tune?” He seems to be ignoring Brith… maybe not used to talking pokémon.
 “Evil and a Heathen,” I reply. “Franz Ferdinand.”
 Brith looks confused at that, but keeps quiet.
 He notes it down. “Please, go right on in.” He turns on his heel and leaves us.
 “Nice choice,” Brith murmurs. “Prophetic at all?”
 I grin under my hood and push the door open. “Let’s find out, shall we?”
 We enter behind the challenger’s stand, as always. No one can see us yet, and the stands are still filled with chatter. Probably talking about the last battle. We’d give them something new to talk about.
 Up the stairs, Brith and Vulp close behind me. Sesser cheeps from Brith’s shoulder, almost cheering me on. As we reach the top of the stairs and the platform, I slip my bag from my shoulder and place it at the edge. Pokéballs are in easy reach, so that’s fine.
 “Champion Steven!” I call. I can just see him – the hood’s getting in the way.
 The chattering dies as people start to notice me.
 “You are?” He looks over. Perhaps trying to see beneath the hood.
 “BlueJay NightGale, of Snowpoint.” I shift a hand to the ties of the cloak.
 “Challenging, I assume?”
 “Aye. Why else would I be here?”
 The music starts up.
 I grin. “Champion Steven!” Might as well do it properly. “I challenge you to a battle!” I flick the ties of the cloak, flinging it to one side as I release my first pokémon onto the pitch between us.
 He smirks, raising an eyebrow. “Challenge accepted.”
 As his skarmory screeches through the air, Arc steadies herself on the ground below and throws her head back, fire blasting from her mouth.
 “Spikes!”
 The skarmory dodges with a flick of its wings and dives, dropping small metallic objects in a ring around Arc.
“Fire fang!”
Words fall from my mouth 
Arc leaps and catches the skarmory by a leg, slamming it into the ground. It screams as fire engulfs them both, and I grin.
Like plates from shaking hands 
 “Steel wing!” Steven calls.
 Arc yelps and the skarmory limps out of the smoke.
Smash upon the silence
“Flamethrower!”
 Fire follows it as the smoke clears from around them, and the skarmory isn’t quick enough to dodge – Steven recalls it in a flash of red light, releasing a claydol.
Of the smooth naked canal
 “Ancient power!”
 Well I’m evil and a heathen!
 I recall Arc, releasing Yena. He cries out as the rocks slam around him, forcing him to dodge and stab his paw on the spikes.
 I’m evil and a heathen
 “Dark pulse!”
I'm a heathen and evil like you 
 “Light screen!”
 Yena darts across the pitch as the claydol builds its shield, and leaps up to deliver a blast of dark energy to its head.
There's not a lot
 It stumbles forward, tottering.
 “Earthquake!”
 Yena delivers another blow as he twists on its back, biting at its neck before tumbling away.
Not a lot I couldn't do 
 Brith and I grab onto the railing as the building shakes.
 “Crunch!”
 Yena rolls over as the claydol moves as if to slam into him and leaps up to fasten his teeth in its arm, flicking his tail up into its eyes.
 Steven returns it with a nod, letting out an aggron. “Earthquake!”
 I can’t return Yena fast enough and he collapses, comatose before this massive pokémon. Steven’s grinning. I grit my teeth.
I like how you pretend 
 “Brith?”
That the end will be the end 
 “With pleasure.” She grips the bar in front of us in one hand and swings herself over.
So fill your thirst
 “Earth–”
Drink a curse
 Brith moves faster than Steven can speak, blurring punches like bullets into the aggron’s hide, into its belly where the armour is thinner, weaker.
To the death of death instead 
 It staggers backwards.
 “Dragon claw!”
I'm evil and a heathen
 The aggron swipes for Brith and she leaps backwards, its claws ringing against the spike in her chest.
I'm evil and a heathen 
 I don’t even need to call moves for Brith – I haven’t had to call moves for any of them in a long time, really – so I just watch, smirking, as she leaps to kick the aggron in the head.
I'm a heathen and evil like you 
 It falls with a crash, and Steven returns it.
There's not a lot
 He nods to me, sending out a cradily.
Not a lot I wouldn't do 
 “Brith, step back!”
 She nods, running off the pitch as I let out Glace.
 “Ancient Power!”
 The cradily gathers up the remnants of shattered rocks around it.
 “Ice Shard!”
 Glace attempts to attack, but spends more time dodging the rocks and getting closer to the cradily.
 “Sludge Bomb!”
Utrecht led me to the Sacre Coeur
 The cradily gathers up toxic sludge, weaving from side to side as it waits for Glace to get in range.
Where the smoke curled round
 “Ice fang!”
 The cradily lunges, spilling the poison as they clash together. Glace cries out and I grip the railing.
 “Blizzard!”
Now the ice blows off Lake Acuity
 Ice whips up around them and she darts back several places, limping.
When the ice blows
 “Confuse Ray!”
Glace shakes her head and retaliates with knife like pieces of ice, and the cradily recoils, its movements slowing.
The ice flows knocks you down
 Steven returns the cradily and Glace limps back some more. Could she do it… He let out an armaldo.
 “Ancientpower!”
Bug Rock type. I return Glace as the rocks slam into the ground around where she’d been.
 “Brith!”
 She runs back onto the pitch.
Your teeth are black with wine 
 “Water pulse!”
So… he wants to keep her at a distance.
 The armaldo rears up, gathering water from the ground and jetting it at Brith. She moves like a whip and it crashes into the stand, and I stumble over my footing.
As you place those lips on mine 
 “Bone rush!” There aren’t really any bones around – well, I hope there aren’t – but Brith will make do.
And she does, heaving rocks from the pitch to throw at the armaldo, slowly getting closer and closer.
 “Aerial ace!”
The armaldo lunges for her, and now Brith is too near to dodge so she doesn’t but she holds an arm up to take the blow as she punches her other fist into the armaldo’s chest.
And the moon hangs heavy and forbidden high
 He releases a metagross. Psychic steel type. Doom – I fumble the pokéballs, dropping the one in my hand.
 Ray appears on the pitch as Brith looks back up at me.
 “Earthquake!”
On the night of our lives
 I hit the platform on my knees as electricity sings through the air and the metagross roars.
 “Psychic!”
 Ray yowls in return and there’s more electricity crackling in the air.
 “Blue,” Brith hisses, paws under my shoulders as she lifts me back up. “Come on.”
I'm evil and a heathen 
 “Meteor smash!”
 I shake my head.
I'm evil and a heathen 
 “Blue!”
 Concentrate on the present. Ray.
 “Thunder!”
 I'm a heathen and evil like you 
 I look up to see the metagross bearing down on Ray, one leg raised higher.
 Ray roars in defiance and the room explodes into light. I shut my eyes, hand covering them with that as well.
There's not a lot
 The light dies down, slowly.
 I lower my hand.
Not a lot we couldn't do
 Ray is standing with the metagross at his feet, out cold.

Do you ever wonder about the social relations between regions in Pokémon?
Like, obviously there’s the big ones that the mainline Pokémon games are set in, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and now Paldea, but those aren’t the only regions that exist in the Pokémon world.
Beyond that, of the ones that have people living in them, there’s Orre, the setting of the Pokémon Colosseum games, Fiore, Almia and Oblivia, the settings of the Pokémon Ranger games, Ferrum, the setting for Pokkén Tournament, and Pasio, the setting of Pokémon Masters EX. There are other settings in spin-off games, but they’re either exclusively populated by Pokémon or a city in an unspecified region. Specifically I was thinking of Fiore, Almia and Oblivia, the settings of the Pokémon Ranger games, when making this post. They’re all places where Pokeballs aren’t commonly used and there is no Pokémon League in their nations. How does that affect how they interact with the rest of the world? Given how Kukui talks about setting up the Pokémon League in Sun/Moon, it seems like having a Pokémon League is seen as a sign of joining the civilized world and entering the modern age, even if that’s a fairly reductive viewpoint, it seems like that’s how Alola is viewed, as an oddball traditionalist culture for not embracing the League system.
So, how are the Ranger regions viewed in universe, then? As strange outliers? As weirdo hippy cultures? Podunk nowheresvilles not worth having a League in? How do they think of the regular Pokémon regions in Fiore/Almia/Oblivia? As bullies on the national stage due to the outsized influence of the Pokémon League? Barbaric weirdo cultures?
I wanna know!

Part of me was considering redesigning Adriana (my Pokémon Reborn self-insert)’s outfit fairly recently, but I wasn’t really sure where I wanted to go with the redesign. Then today’s Pokémon Presents happened, and - since Adri is supposed to have started her journey in Kalos - suffice it to say I was very excited, and also inspired to change it once again! But, I’m still at a bit of a crossroads about whether or not I actually want to go through with doing it since I don’t have any super concrete ideas, so.. maybe we shall see?

You looked at the opposing challenger, your wings fluttering in excitement. Your first challenger as a champion!
They seemed confused, but it made sense. They must not have been expecting a Pokemon to be champion.
But here you were, ready to defend your title.
"Ready?" you asked.

Quarter-Finalists
18 Months Earlier
“Welcome back, poke trainers and fans to the quarter finals of the Hoenn Pokémon League championship!” The announcer’s voice rang through the massive stadium. “We’re in the fifth match of the quarter finals between Johto newcomer Chandler Roget and Sinnoh ace Amanda Cantwell! Both trainers are now down to their last pokémon, which means this next round is going to determine which of them advances to the semi-finals!”
Dressed in a black jacket and pants, Chandler sprayed some potion on his flygon’s back and rubbed it in between the dragon-type’s wings, watching the clock counting down the seconds before he’d have to send Bugsy back into the field.
On the opposite end of the field, the green-haired woman in a formfitting orange bodysuit stood with her arms crossed over her chest. In front of her was the towering form of a gyrados. Fresh from the ball, the woman’s last pokémon hadn’t seen any action yet, while Bugsy had taken licks in a bought with her kadabra and tropius in the previous rounds.
“You still got this, Bugsy,” he said, doing his best not to let concern slip into his voice. He’d seen the other trainer tear through her qualifiers and knew they were the clear underdogs in this matchup. That Bugsy had managed to take down two of her pokémon after she’d knocked out the rest of Chandler’s team was already a miracle, but he would be damned if he and Bugsy didn’t push for the day’s biggest upset. “That gyrados is a beast, but you’ve got the air on your side. You just got to wait for the right moment to knock that oversized sausage flat on its back.”
“Fly!” Bugsy replied affirmatively.
The signal bell rang and both pokémon entered the field, Bugsy taking off into the air and the large gyrados slithering into the multi-environment arena’s pool of water.
“Staying in the air isn’t going to save you!” Ace Trainer Jessica shouted. “Gyrados, use hurricane!”
The serpent spread its fins and spun with tremendous speed that seemed to defy its enormous bulk, filling the arena with furious gusts of wind. Bugsy was no stranger to inclement weather, but even he had difficulty navigating the gale force winds and Chandler worried about how well the flygon could hear him over the roar.  
“Bugsy, use screech!” Chandler shouted at the top of his lungs.
After a tense pause with nothing but the sound of the wind filling his ears, there came a sharp pitched cry that pierced the noise of the hurricane force winds thrashing the interior of the arena.
“Oh! A screech from Chandler’s Bugsy has pierced through the sound of Gyrados’s hurricane!” The announcer’s voice boomed over the stadium’s speakers. “I hope everyone in the audience had their ear plugs on for that one!”
The winds dissipated, and there was gyrados, shaking its head and recoiling in pain, undoubtedly wishing it had arms to cover its ears about now.
I can’t let this drag on, Chandler thought. Bugsy was tired and the gyrados would certainly outlast the flygon in a battle of attrition. They had to go for a swift knockout punch.
“Bugsy, while it’s guard’s down, use Dragon Rush!”
Energy crackled around the flygon and it dove down on the gyrados at startling speed.
“Dragon Tail, Gyrados!”
The gyrados’s tail glowed with a similar energy as what was currently surrounding Bugsy and swung it around to meet the flygon head on.
“This may settle the match!” The announcer cried.
CRACK-BOOM!
Bugsy collided with the gyrados’s glowing tail in an explosion of brilliant light so intense that Chandler had to shield his eyes. When he removed his eyes, he saw Bugsy sailing back, struck hard in the chest by the gyrados’s tail. The gyrados’s tail was badly scorched from the collision and probably wouldn’t be seeing any more action this match, but that still left its head, which was more than enough.
“Gyrados, use ice beam!” Gyrados opened its tremendous jaws and fire a massive blue beam in the direction of the disoriented flygon.
No! “Dodge it!”
Bugsy snapped his wings back, stopping mid-air and preparing to dart up out of the path of the beam, but it was too late. The attack struck Bugsy straight in the chest and he lost all control over his flight as the frigid beam.
“Fllllyyyyyy!”
Bugsy crashed to the ground on Chandler’s side of the arena, his torso and right half of his body – including one wing- encased in ice. His left arm clawed weakly at the ice but was hardly making a scratch.
“Bugsy…” Chandler whispered in disbelief. “No.”
“Trainer Chandler’s Flygon is brought down by a surprise ice beam from Trainer Amanda’s gyrados!” The announcer said, clearly reveling in the thrill of being a spectator to this event. “Can Chandler’s flygon pull out of this?”
Chandler’s opponent wasn’t going to wait to find out.
“Let’s finish this, gyrados!” The gyrados exited the pool of water and stalked towards its foe.  
“No! That’s enough!” Chandler leapt from the trainer’s box and sprinted across the battlefield.
“What’s this?” The announced cried. “Trainer Chandler has entered the field, thereby forfeiting the match! Trainer Amanda Cantwell advances to the semi-finals!”
The crowd that must have numbered in the tens of thousands erupted in rapturous applause, but it was nothing but a dull moan in the back of Chandler’s mind. All he saw and heard right now was Bugsy.  “Hold on, Bugsy!” Chandler shouted. “I’m coming!”
The flygon strained its neck to look at his trainer, letting out a mournful cry. Beneath its translucent red eye shields, its eyes were filled with pain and regret. It knew its trainer entering the field meant the match and everything they had trained for up until this point had come to an end.
“It’s okay,” Chandler said. He took his jacket off and began rubbing it up and down against the ice that had collected over his pokémon’s body, trying to remove as much as possible. “You did great.  You were more than great.”
Across the field he could see a team of pokémon nurses and their chanseys making their way towards them. Soon they’d be transporting Bugsy to the Pokemon infirmary where they’d patch him up quick as could be, but he didn’t intend to leave the dragon’s side until he was safely in the Pokécenter.
“Fly…” Some emotions transcended species, and the disappointment in his pokémon’s voice was unmistakable.  
“I know… I know…” Chandler wrapped his arms around Bugsy’s neck and pulled the dragon’s head to his chest. “Next time we’ll go all the way.”
Chandler didn’t even notice the hot tears streaming down his cheeks.
Next time.
