This is my Miku pokemon trainer tier list

For this tier list its both my favorites and what i consider a very good miku design

Of course all of them are good miku designs but some shine above the rest

S tier- my absolute favorites Bug miku is so classy, so well thought out, and i think the brown looks amazing with her teal. Shes everything A close tie with bug miku is Ice miku her hair is everything to me im in complete love with this sharp miku. Water Miku is basic but that's all she needs in lovely simplicity, truly feeling like Miku in this world as a water trainer especially with her tan lines from her original outfit it feels like this is her off time from being an idol! Steel Miku had my heart as soon as I saw her with Jirachi. Which was my favorite pokemon when I was a child [it was prior before i even had any pokemon games of my own and only watched the movies] The colors, the motif of star, the hat and the hair its all wonderful to me!

A tier- Amazingly done concepts and totally miku! Rock Miku's dress and veil is lovely, i love they incorporated the veil as mock pigtails. If this was the verison of her without the dress then she would have been in S tier. I love the jester look but thats my own personal preference. She also reminds me of diance with the dress.

Flying Miku is gorgeous, the wispy hair, the translucent areas to mimic clouds and mist. It's an amazing concept and wonderfully executed design! Fairy miku i know is everyones favorite and it's obvious to see why, shes adorable and cute and I too would love to draw her. She has that appeal to her down to a T. Fighting Miku is something i've been waiting for this whole time. Of course no way they could do a pokemon collab with miku and not include farfetch'd! It's a sleek and simple design that takes traits of the original miku's outfit and tweaks them. Though she does kind of remind me of maka from soul eater just a small bit.

B tier- Great concepts! Electric Miku's lightening pigtails are so cute she looks like a little adventure/farmer of currents. She stands on her own as a design and as a tie to miku. Poison type Miku i would have done the same doing mucky/slime twintails though i probably wouldn't have thought to use the new alolan muk which is a very good look and helps add in the colors. It's a great design and while i wouldve put her in A tier some of her design elements hold me off. This is a top tier character design though trust me Dark Miku, i love she came with obstagoon. Though at first i couldnt even tell if miku had pigtails in the artwork. This reminds me just of a nice miku for a cover of an existing song which is not bad it's just how it feels. Normal type miku has good colors, shes paired with an active singing pokemon and while it's simple I think it conveys miku well enough. Though she keeps reminding me of the oversaturated stereotype of early 90s fashion. now on Ghost miku, shes higher than i'd actually put her but for her concept and simplicity of staying to miku but as a glitched out ghost version of her i do have to give props to that even if i find it more on the plain side. I think they succeeded in what was necessary even though this portrays miku AS the ghost instead of just a ghost trainer. ....honestly now that i type my words i feel like i was right and shouldve stuck with her in C tier.

C tier- too basic for my tastes yet still well done Grass miku is cute and all but if you told me she was unrelated to miku, i could believe you. Just that it'd be a fandom joke to call her 'green miku'

Fire miku, reminds me all too much of the anniversary miku song and im sure thats where they got part of the insipration from it but it doesnt really do much for me combined with the fire aspect and how her hair is shaped. I know its to mimic the pokemon shes with its just personal taste on that one. The silhoutte is good.

Ground type miku i had to keep looking up because i forget what shes supposed to be numerous times. Same case with grass miku, i could see someone telling me shes from x thing and unrelated to miku. I'm just not a fan of the design and colors but it's well done. I know when something is just my subjective taste rather than poorly done.

Dragon miku while i'm not the biggest fan of all the cowlicks going down the twintails i know it's purpose is there to mimic the spiked tail of a traditional dragon and i wouldn't want them removed. I think i especially just don't like the tacked on half shawl cape it feels disjointed. Yet i find its a nice concept they did both an almost knight look for her as dragon as always with the concept of knights and dragons battling. Now the knight trainer is battling with the dragon as comrades.

Psychic type miku- i think they started with the least interesting and noteworthy one honestly. It just looks, kind of uninspired but thats rude to say. I know shes here to fufill the concept of miku as a trainer in pokemon and well it just looks like she's her own trainer class that'd have multiple running around looking the same instead of a stand out like a rival or a gym leader in game.

hi!!!!!!!!!!!!! my name is Blade (they/them) and I'm a gym challenger from Galar! i love dark type pokemon >:) i like to FIGHT

thats my league card!!!! i have FOUR STARS now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like it way better than my old league card it's way cooler now

my pokemon are so cool they are the best pokemon in the world I have havoc and bnuny and toxi and kity and borbly and ourple and zenith and wahoo and chomp and hendranguish and inferno and slug!!!!!!!!!

// OOC: graphics made using pokemonteambuilder.net and edited in Krita to add nicknames

// OOC: this is a blog for my character in pokemon shield. they are a CHILD so no NSFW asks. my main is @shinekittenace

// Some background about Blade:

// They are a baby nonbinary edgelord who cut and dyed their hair as soon as they got to Motostoke

// They used to think Leon was the coolest trainer in the world, but after fighting Piers in the gym challenge they now think he is the coolest. They still like Leon though!

// Their three most reliable pokemon are their cinderace bnuny, their obstagoon havoc, and their low-key toxtricity toxi, who they raised from a hatchling

// Blade has found that their pokemon seem to prefer it/its pronouns

// As well as Blade's battle with Piers being a life-changing event for them, havoc was also so inspired by battling Piers's obstagoon that it evolved into obstagoon itself soon afterwards

[piers-supremacy]

Hi! Would you be willing to do any hcs about Piers? I’d love to hear any you have that you haven’t mentioned yet (or that you have)! AKA can we get some miscellaneous Piers hcs? Please and thank you! 🥰

Oh no what have you done???? what have you started???????

Okay okay so, I’ll start with some context clues I’ve picked up that can technically be considered headcanons.

-Milo and Piers were probably childhood friends by the fact even after piers retires they are doing an exhibition match together.

-Piers calls himself “a real friend” when referring to Sonia.

-Piers doesn’t really seem to know Leon all that well by the fact he calls him by “the champion.” Theres another quote that I’m not quite sure where I remember it from where Piers says “I don’t know him that well, but the champions probably lost right now.”

-Piers seemingly only met Raihan during the first match in the league finals. Raihan doesn’t seem to have fought him before by the surprise he expresses by telling Piers he’s good at battling.

-Piers gets embarrassed when Nessa calls him “odd.” I choose to believe that’s because he respects her and doesn’t know how to react to a prep, jock, super model telling him he’s odd.

-I believe Opal was more of an influence on Piers when he was younger. They seem to know each other enough to team up in the star tournament. Plus, Piers has a strong value for manners and courtesies that Opal seems to share. (She probably taught him that little bow he does sometimes)

-Piers never mentions having a rival when he first started the league. Marnie ends up having multiple.

Alright enough about Piers and other people here’s some more individual stuff.

-Piers is a really understanding and none judgmental dude. Unless you’re rude, but he’ll usually say something. It’s an impulse.

-Piers will have random Nerf battles with his sister. He did it while Hop was around once and they went into all out war mode as Hop watched like— “W-what??” Hope eventually started doing it with them. Which spread to Gloria, Victor, and Allister.

-anybody like Raihan and Leon try to get into it and Piers just glares with murder in his mind. Nerf battles are for family only. Yes, he sees the kids as a part of his family.

-speaking of which, Piers is basically the adoption papers meme. He likes you enough? You’re fam. Milo, Sonia, a few members of team yell. He latches onto people very quickly.

-sometimes he ends up regretting it but he honestly can’t help it. Piers has intense separation anxiety and abandonment issues.

-which has gotten him into some manipulative relationships in the past.

-Piers has had some panic attacks when Marnie let’s go of his hand in a crowd or she comes home a few minutes late.

-Which strings into his issue with crying easily. The concept of anything bad happening to people he cares about or Pokémon; He’s running off to find some place safe to cry.

-Piers very rarely gets upset in actually bad situations. In an emergency he’s stoic and the calmest person there. Very no nonsense, get shit done so everyone’s safe.

-Then he’ll turn around and cry ‘cause he stepped on one of his Ziggys tails.

-overall a lot of people don’t really get to see the softer, happier side of him. Especially in the league. To him it’s all business, like a dead end job he doesn’t really want to be part of.

-that tends to be why he looks so tired and out of it. He’s already on thin ice by just existing in the league. If it were up to Rose, he would’ve never made it to the finals when he was a kid.

-Rose just makes his life a living hell. Piers can’t keep his piercings in or wear more comfortable clothes ‘cause he can’t not be in uniform.

-Pretty much the only things that are his own clothes is the crop jacket, the boots, and the pokeball chain.

-With his own freedom to dress how he wants Piers would be changing his look everyday. (Except the ponytail)

-new jacket, different boots, pants besides those (very unflattering) shorts.

-you can imagine how crazy he went with the accessories when he was retired.

I got off track, back to Piers’ personality outside the league.

-Piers is honestly just a big child. Spencer from icarly vibes.

-Marnie has walked in to him standing on the counter and just screaming back and forth with his obstagoon. They were asserting dominance.

-*Piers standing in the doorway with a grovery cart filled with stolen Rose posters, macro cosmos advertisements, and even a part of a billboard.* Marnie: “um... whatcha got there?” Piers: “A smoothie.”

-Piers has a whole lot of energy. You catch Piers In his element and Marnie looks like the mature one despite her age.

-Marnie does like being feral with him, but she’s much calmer and gets tired more often.

-Piers doesn’t drink alcohol. If he’s at a party he’ll drink an extremely diluted fruity beverage and then chug water. He doesn’t trust himself enough to have more than one soft drink. He already had a problem with cigarettes in the past.

Okay so that’s everything I can think of right now. There is so much more but jeez I don’t want to go forever. Thanks for the ask!!

((Ooc fact babble))

More ooc fact babble: Fam Edition cuz I need to get stuff out and overthink tiny things about my characters ✌️😔

From the beginning, the Dracaena family aesthetic was vaguely based on fae/fair folk. I though it would be funny as all shit if the whole family’s outward appearance embodied the stereotypical, cute/attractive fairy archetype, expect for Nova who is a black sheep and is aesthetically more like darker fae

Prof Dracaena (Elder) - The obvi Fae Queen. Calm and dotting, but cold and judgmental. Curly, long, cotton candy pink hair. Fairy Type specialist, main Pokémon are Shiny Sylveon, Shiny Gardevoir, and a gaggle of Aromatisse and Spritzee

Globe trotter. Soft spot for Fire Types, main Pokémon are Flareon, Shiny Charizard, and Feraligatr. Rarely at the ranch

Nova - 23 yo. Dark, Spooky, Forest Thing. Thinks wrestling with their Obstagoon every morning afternoon is fun

At least popularity-wise, financially, not so much. Favors Electric Types, main Pokémon are Jolteon, Shiny Exploud, and Joltik. Rarely at the ranch

Caldera - 18 yo, twinsies with Terre. Navy blue hair. Avid hiker and environmentalist. Ends up helping a lot of lost travelers. Has a soft spot for Ice Types, main Pokémon are Glaceon, Shiny Mamoswine, and Pidgeot. Lives full time on the ranch, but skips out to go on occasional weekend hiking trips.

Terre - 18 yo, twinsies with Caldera. Light burgundy colored hair. Wants to be a florist, but has settled for growing food/crops on the ranch. Practically runs the greenhouse, and has a near magical green thumb. Thinks Grass types are the Best, main Pokémon are Leafeon, Shiny Chikorita, and many Sunflora and Sunkern. Lives full time on the ranch.

Mare - 15 yo. Indigo blue hair. Avid fisher, recently returned home from his Pokémon Journey. Thinking about going into Freshwater Pokémon Conservation. Has an uncanny knack for understanding and caring for Water Types, and enjoys crafting Apricorn Balls. Main Pokémon are Vaporeon, Feraligatr, and Shiny Kingler. Currently lives full time of the ranch, but occasionally goes on week long fishing trips.

Albedo - 12 yo. Lavender hair. Currently on his Pokémon Journey. More book smart than street smart, but he’s doing just fine. Favors Psychic types, main Pokémon are Espeon, Quilava, and Shiny Xatu. Occasionally visits home.

La Vie en Rose (Bede and young!Opal time travel fic)

Here’s the fic I’d been promising to write about Opal’s past, based on my prior headcanon posts. Though this fic will explore Opal’s life, it’s all from Bede’s POV. Enjoy!

La Vie en Rose (Life in Pink) Rating: T (for character deaths and language) Chapter 1/10 - Fairy Tale (length: ~4k words) Summary: Bede doesn't get why that loony old bat Opal wants him to be the next Fairy-type Gym Leader. To help him understand, Opal has Celebi take Bede back to the time of her youth. 

(For other chapters, look up the tag “pokemon la vie en rose” or go to my profile)

For what seemed like the hundredth time that day, Bede thought about making a break from Opal, that loony old bat. Nothing could stop him. She wasn't gripping and pulling him along by the arm, like a parent dragging an upset child through the grocery store. In fact, he fought a hard battle with impatience to match her stride. The oldest Gym Leader in Galar walked at the pace of a Chewtle on a cold day. It wasn't like she could chase him down if he took off. Her heart would probably give out first if she tried.

Before they had set off from the sprawling castle-city of Hammerlocke, Opal had insisted on walking, turning down chances to take the train and the Flying Taxi. The train made sense, since there were no railways leading through the dense Glimwood Tangle and into Ballonlea. But not taking the Flying Taxi perplexed Bede.

"We'll get there much faster if we take a taxi," he told her.

"I'm not hopping on that bloody death trap," she replied with a snort.

"So you want to get blisters on your feet instead?"

"I very much prefer that to crashing and dying."

Bede rolled his eyes. "We won't crash and die. Those taxis are very safe."

"Rubbish. My boy, you have no idea."

Bede gawked at her. More like she didn't have any idea. There had never been reports of Flying Taxi accidents on the telly. Not that Bede expected an ancient fossil like Opal to keep up with news on the telly, anyway. Did she even own a telly?

Opal wouldn't budge on her decision, so they ended up walking all the way from Hammerlocke to Ballonlea. They had walked side by side, making no physical contact at all, yet what Bede felt between them was the alluring, arresting air of her authority and of course, her very strange, out-of-the-blue offer.

He wasn't a Gym Challenger anymore, so could Opal really pick him to be the next Gym Leader? Was that allowed? Opal seemed like the kind of woman to turn her big nose up at the rules and do whatever the bloody hell she wanted, anyway.

She had declared that he had the "right amount of pink." What did that mean? That was the first question he popped just after she had swooped in on him at Hammerlocke, but she refused to tell him, only that "pink isn't a color easily explained." Bollocks, you couldn't explain color. Blue is blue. Green is green. Red is red. And so on. Bede couldn't make heads or tails out of this lady clearly off her rocker.

Chairman Rose had disqualified Bede from the Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side, so Bede had never reached Ballonlea to challenge the Fairy-type Gym. Though he tried to keep his face impassive, his first visit to the town enchanted him.

A spectrum of colors from glowing mushrooms abound under the shade of towering trees. Some mushrooms were so big that they loomed over the cottages. Bede didn't know that they could get that tall. Burbles of a brook winding through the leafy floor filled his ears. From their perches on the Pokemon Center, a pair of Hattrem tittered at Opal and Bede. Farther away, Chinchou bobbed their angler lights overhead. A little girl sitting on a large boulder played with two bobbing Inkays, and as Opal and Bede climbed the stairs, she waved at them.

"Hello, Ms. Opal. Welcome, Trainer."

Opal smiled at the girl and gestured to her young traveling companion. "This is Bede. He's going to be the town's next Gym Leader."

The girl's eyes lit up and she fidgeted in her spot on the boulder. "Oh, that's so exciting! This will be the talk of the town for sure. Good luck, Bede."

"Er, thanks," he stammered, then as they walked away, he muttered to Opal, "You have an awful lot of confidence to say that."

"I am rarely wrong in the choices I make," she replied. An impish glance peeked from the brim of her hat. "Don't prove me wrong, child."

Though she had a jovial tone, his stomach twisted in nervousness as if she had said it ominously. Why was he nervous? Why did he care? He didn't really want to be a Gym Leader. He hoped to just glean whatever information Opal had on the Wishing Stars, then be on his way. If there was a second chance to redeem himself in the Chairman's eyes, then he would seize that chance by the throat.

Opal led him down a winding path away from the Gym. Bede frowned. "Wait, where are we going?"

She quirked a white eyebrow at him. "You're not living at the Gym. Don't you want to see where you'll be living?"

Bede nearly stopped in his tracks. She was taking him to her house. It looked like the other cottages in town, timber-framed and dotted with cascading plants. A wooden armbench occupied the tiny front yard. A door flap took up a third of the whole door.

Suddenly a Mightyena bounded through the door flap with ferocious barks. Bede couldn't help jumping back in alarm. An Obstagoon opened up the wooden door to occupy almost the entire threshold and crossed its arms. It leered at Bede with bared fangs and through red eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Opal waved a placating hand at the pair of Dark type Pokemon. "Oh, hush now, my dears. The boy's all right. He's with me."

Bede's hand flitted to the Poke balls on his belt, not to send them out, but to protect them. He had a team of Psychic types, after all. "What are they doing here? Aren't you a Fairy type Trainer, Ms. Opal?" He hated how his voice got high and cracking when he gets scared.

Opal patted Obstagoon's arm with one hand, then ruffled Mightyena's mane with the other. "These are my husband's Pokemon. Descendants of them, anyway. They keep good company. Sometimes good protection." At her touch, the two Pokemon relaxed and looked to her with undisguised affection.

Bede tried to relax, too. "You have a husband?"

"Had."

"Oh, so he's—"

"Not around." She gestured to another path with the tip of her umbrella. "If you want to meet him, take the trail to the Ballonlea Cemetary."

Bede rubbed the back of his head. What should he say? "Er, I'm sorry."

Opal gave him a toothy grin. "No need to be. He left me ages ago. Now come inside and have some tea."

"Yes, ma'am." Bede stepped inside the house after her, followed closely behind by the vigilant Mightyena and Obstagoon. He was not surprised in the least to find the interior painted in cheerful pastel colors, shades of purple, pink, and light blue. He felt like walking into a child's dollhouse. Every piece of furniture—the sofa, the dining table, the armchair, the nightstand—looked like it was made for one. Excluding the company of Pokemon, clearly Opal had been living alone for a long time.

As Opal went straight to brewing tea in the kitchen, her following remark confirmed his suspicions. "It's been a while since I've had visitors in here. Mostly because this place has been a righteous mess."

"I...I can see that," Stacks of papers, discs, and tapes were piled halfway to the ceiling, on the verge of toppling over if Bede carelessly bumped an elbow or his hip against them.

Opal set two steaming teacups on the table, then turned to pull a book from the nearby shelf. The thick weight of it bent Opal over and nearly made her drop it, but she managed to heave it over the table and place it with a solid thump before Bede.

"Here, a crash course on the care and training of Fairy type Pokemon. Written by my own mum."

Bede peered at the cover. "By Ruby Roy," it said. He looked up at her with a frown. "You want me to read all of it, Ms. Opal?"

"From front to back until you have it memorized," she said firmly. "Mum made me do that, so I'm passing down the same regimen."

Bede bit back a groan. He wasn't one to sit still and hunched over a book for a long time. As he sipped at his tea, he found her unblinking gaze of intense scrutiny on him unnerving, so he tried to avoid staring back at her by leafing through the Fairy Pokemon training manual.

The pages were Butterfree wing-thin, aged from lengthy ownership but evidently cared for since there were no holes or stains. Bede kept the teacup a fair distance from the book. Somehow he didn't want to risk pissing off an old lady like Opal.

"I notice that you favor Psychic types," She remarked as she sipped from her own teacup. "The jump from using Psychic to Fairy types isn't a terribly big one. I know many Pokemon that are Psychic-Fairy, like Gardevoir, Hatterene, and Galarian Rapidash. You would do well to start using them."

"I already have a Galarian Ponyta and a Hattrem," Bede said.

"Splendid. You'll still have to make some switches to your team, though. Go for a few runs through Glimwood Tangle to catch and train your new Pokemon. But first, before any battles, hit the books." She seemed to notice his dismay, and the corners of her puckered lips twitched upward, though not apologetically. "I'm an old-fashioned gal."

Opal had Bede read through one chapter for the day, then asked him to help her tidy up the house. "We'll need to get the clutter cleared so you can have your own space," she said. "I only have one bedroom, so you'll have to make do with the sofa."

Bede shrugged. "That's fine. I'm used to sleeping in chairs."

She thrust a feather duster into his hands. "You're a tall boy for your age," she remarked as she looked him up and down. "You can dust the shelves that have been out of my reach since my back got bad." She grinned. "How handy."

Bede resisted heaving a sigh, otherwise he'd get dust up his nose. He pulled up the sleeves of his pink oversized coat and got to work. The stacks of papers, discs, and tapes turned out to be years worth of audition material, records of thousands of candidates Opal had been considering to be her successor. She had kept them around for reference, or in case she had to contact anyone she changed her mind about. Now that Bede was chosen, she had no more use for them. Her Mawile proved to be a big help in shredding up the paper and chomping the discs and tapes into pieces in its big jaws. Bede noticed that Opal kept her Pokemon team, along with Mightyena and Obstagoon, out of their Poke balls while she was at home. Weezing floated and puffed in content around the front yard, while Togekiss nestled in the sofa, and Alcremie, due to its creamy body and high-maintenance care, was kept away from the furniture and could be in the kitchen where messes were more tolerable.

"I use the Poke balls only during battles," Opal said. "Just for show, like a stage prop. This may boggle your young mind, but back in the day, I grew up in a time before Poke balls were invented."

Bede paused in collecting scrap from Mawile to stare at her in disbelief. "No Poke balls at all? How did that work?"

"Oh, we simply kept our Pokemon around. Sometimes people kept them on leashes, though I'd rather not do that to my own. Imagine having a full party of six Pokemon and each went its own way!"

"That's crazy," Bede agreed. Weren't Poke balls invented fifty years ago? The remark slipped out of his mouth before he could stop himself. "Wow, you really have been around forever." She squinted at him and he quickly added, "Forever sixteen, I mean."

She leaned back in her armchair and giggled. "That's the correct answer."

Bede resumed his chores with relief. That peppy little brother of the Champion's annoyed him to no end, but he had Hop to thank for the warning: "When the Gym Leader Opal asks you how old she is, whatever you do, don't ever say that she's really bloody old!"

Once Bede threw out the clutter, Opal's house became much more manageable to navigate through. Bede had to fetch his own blankets from the attic himself, since Opal was no longer in good shape to climb up and down the ladder. His feet hung over the edge of the sofa whenever he stretched out to sleep on it. At first he was embarrassed when Opal made him borrow her purple fuzzy slippers, but he got over it because they kept him warm at night.

Bede learned over the next few days that Opal followed a rigid routine. At seven in the morning, she got up to have scones or oatmeal with a cup of hot tea. At eight, she went for a walk around town with Mightyena. Because the trees gave protection from the rising sun and kept the place cool and fresh, Ballonlea was the perfect place for a morning walk. Those who didn't know Opal well, like visitors and foreigners, would be surprised to see her, a Fairy type specialist, strolling through town with a Dark type Pokemon. The locals didn't bat an eye at this. If Opal wasn't seen with Mightyena on the trails around eight, that was worrying. By around eleven, she returned home to break for an early lunch of salad sandwiches prepared by Obstagoon. In the afternoon, she would take a nap, go outside to smoke a pipe on the armbench, or read the local newspaper Mightyena would fetch for her. Otherwise, on days that the Ballonlea Theatre was preparing a play, Opal would be over there from afternoon to late evening to manage the stage and cast.

Her current project, however, was Bede. So she stayed at home to make sure that he got situated, and kept the Gym closed to challenges in the mean time. While training in Glimwood Tangle, he evolved his Ponyta into Rapidash, his Hattrem into Hatterene, and acquired a Ralts. As for his fourth Pokemon, Opal gave him her Mawile.

"Though I haven't handed the title over to you officially, I still consider myself retired," she told him. "My battling days are over. You and Mawile seem to take a liking to each other well enough. She's yours now."

Mawile chirped happily at Bede's side. "Y-You don't have to do that," he stammered. "I can go catch another Pokemon..."

Opal waved a dainty hand. "Why go through that trouble when I can simply give you one? Like I said, I'm done battling. But not Mawile. You've seen how she has been chewing away at that audition scrap. She's still itching for battle. She's better off with you, my boy."

Bede had no choice but to reluctantly accept Mawile as a gift. This wasn't supposed to happen. He only trained in Glimwood Tangle to get stronger, and lived with Opal to cozy up with her so she could spill whatever she knew about Wishing Stars. Now he'd feel like scum if he hightailed out of Ballonlea with her Mawile in tow. And something about leaving an old lady alone again stirred up guilt he didn't expect. Besides, he didn't even have time to stop and ask about the Wishing Stars. Opal kept him busy.

It took Bede several days living with Opal and cleaning her house to realize that she had no photos whatsoever. No photos hanging on the walls, or sitting around on stands. Any hints of a past and a family were nonexistent. That baffled him, but he remembered the brief mention of her husband earlier, and he hesitated on bringing that up again with her.

Bede was getting used to the temperature in the cottage. He didn't need the extra blankets, so one day, while Opal went for her morning walk with Mightyena, he climbed up the attic to stow them away. But he forgot which chest held the blankets. He batted away cobwebs as he rummaged through the many boxes and chests that littered the floor of the attic. In his search for the right place, he fumbled in the dim light and bumped into a cabinet. Something flat and hard toppled off to fall straight on his head. He stumbled back and swore, clutching his throbbing scalp. A large oval portrait clattered to his feet face down. Still rubbing his head, he turned the portrait face up with his other hand.

Bede blinked in surprise. It was a woman, a young and beautiful one. Short dark curls framed her face. She wore a white blouse with a large frilly collar about her neck. She seemed to exude a cheeky, almost flirty air, with a hand propped on her hip and a wide grin as her gaze was directed just off to her left, probably at the artist who did the portrait.

"Who's this?" Bede muttered.

A relative of Opal's? A daughter, or a granddaughter? Or could that be Opal herself? Curiosity overwhelmed him and made him put aside his initial quest for the chest of blankets. He had a new quest. He opened up lids and dug into the confines of whatever he opened, hoping to scrounge up more hints of the old woman's past. He didn't know how much time passed. The attic had no windows. Bede got pulled into his new quest like an Electric type Pokemon drawn to a magnet.

After some effort to open up trunks at the deepest part of the attic, he managed to find stacks of photos with the same young woman. This time she posed with other people, mostly with an older, bearded, yet handsome gentleman and a boy with the same dark, curly hair that she had. In almost every photo, the man and boy had an arm around her. The young woman smiled widely, radiantly, through the sepia-toned dimness of old pictures. None of the photos were compiled into albums, for some reason. Bede spread them evenly and carefully on the attic floor, contemplating over his discovery.

"Bede?"

Hearing his name made him jump. Opal was home? He hadn't heard the door swing shut. How long had she been inside?

"Where are you, boy?"

Bede scrambled to gather the photos back into stacks. There were a lot of them. He wasn't fast enough to gather them all. Heavy stamps up the ladder made him freeze and whirl around. Obstagoon had climbed up the attic carrying Opal in its strong arms.

"Bede, thank goodness you're all right," she cried out in relief. "You didn't answer when I came home, so I thought something terrible had happened to you, and I—What are you doing with those?"

Her question cut through the air and made Bede cringe.

"Bede, where did you find the pictures?"

Opal's voice had always been soft and thin. The uncharacteristic sharpness to it now startled him.

"I-I was just coming up here to put back the blankets," he stuttered. "I-I found these by accident."

Opal tapped on Obstagoon's arm so the Pokemon could gently set her down. She closed the distance between herself and Bede with the same unusual quickness back at Hammerlocke, and snatched the photos from his hands. "I forgot where I had these. Now I remember where I've put them away, and I did that so I could forget."

Bede had never seen Opal so upset, and that terrified him. "I'm sorry," he blurted out. "I'm really, really sorry, Ms. Opal."

Not only did she look upset, she looked like she was in pain. A few photos slipped from her grasp and back onto the floor. Opal looked down at them, then her eyes scrunched shut and her lips drew into a thin, hard line.

Obstagoon let out a growl of concern and reached out with both paws to steady her. Bede tried to approach her, but the Pokemon bared its fangs at him. For a split second of dread, Bede wondered if she was having a heart attack. At her advanced age, that guess wasn't unreasonable.

Opal sucked in a long, shuddering breath, then let it out in a gusty sigh as she looked up back at Bede.

"You want to know, don't you?" She said softly, the angry light out of her eyes now. "I can hear you asking that question even if you're not asking it out loud." She beckoned at Bede to come closer, and pointed at the topmost picture of the stack in her hands. "That woman here...that's me."

"That's you?" Bede exclaimed.

She nodded. "That man is Roger, my husband. And that boy is Jasper, my son."

Bede's head spun from the weight of the revelation. He noticed that there were no pictures of Jasper beyond the time he was a boy. No pictures of Jasper in his teens, or older. "What happened?" He whispered. He feared that she would snap at him again.

Instead her shoulders sagged. "Where do I start? There's so much to tell." She buried her face into the crook of her thin arm to cough into it. "Blimey, this attic is so dusty. I'd much rather carry on the conversation over tea and better air. Bring the pictures down."

Bede blinked at her in surprise. "I thought you didn't want to see them, Ms. Opal."

"I didn't want to see them for almost sixty years," she murmured. "Times have changed. Now you are going to be the next Gym Leader." She rested a withered hand over Bede's. "Not only that, but you are practically under my care, like family. And since you're like family, I owe you my story, because soon it will be yours."

Opal, with Obstagoon's help down the attic, left him with that. Finally, Bede shook out of his stupor to gather up the photos of Opal and her family. For the first time in many, many years, he brought them downstairs.

Notes: On Mightyena and Obstagoon being descendants of Pokemon belonging to Opal's late husband: There's no canon on Pokemon lifespans, so I thought that relying on lifespans of real-life animals would suffice. At least, for the Pokemon whose designs are inspired by real-life animals. I used the average lifespans of dogs and badgers for Mightyena and Obstagoon. 70 years seems like too long for the original Mightyena and Obstagoon to stick with Opal. Same goes for her own Pokemon.

Musical inspiration for this chapter was "Concerning Hobbits" from The Lord of the Rings.

For voices, I imagine Bede to sound like Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy in the 1st and 2nd Harry Potter movies, and old Opal sounds like Maggie Smith as Lady Violet from Downton Abbey.

Adelyn Lyons (Pokemon OC)

Hello! This post is about one of my pokemon OCs. Adelyn Lyons, former Hoenn champion and current Dazzling Diamond. She’s one of my older Pokemon characters and I’d like to tell you about her

Hoenn really puts a focus less on the battling aspect of pokemon and more on their performance abilities, on the beautiful and wondrous things they can do with their moves when not used in a battle against each other. Adelyn is a woman who’s been a part of both aspects of pokemon, spending time as Hoenn’s Champion before finding her spark to joining the performance world. She decided to step down from her place as Champion after only two years so she could take her performances far more seriously.

Adelyn grew up in Fortree Town, with her father and sister in their cozy home. The younger of the two sisters, Adelyn spent most of her time with her partner, Haxel. Haxel is a female Sableye that wandered into town and, well? Fast friends. Haxel ended up staying with Adelyn through everything, including her move to Galar.

Adelyn’s team consists of a group of pokemon well trained for battle and for performances, each of which works off each other for their trainer’s needs and the other pokemon. Haxel is her partner and perhaps used to facing the most at her side. She also has a Gallade (Ser Reaver), a Mightenya (Shiaa), Swellow (Tiso), Mimikyu (Necro), and her other partner, who is most often seen on promotional materials for her, a Diancie nicknamed Rose.

Rose and Haxel are her partners used for her most famous performance, the Thousand Stars. It’s this performance she’s given the nickname Dazzling Diamond for, and it’s this performance that most people know Adelyn for. It’s not her only one, merely the one most people want to see.

Adelyn spent years of her life doing these performances, traveling between regions and showing the capabilities of her team. She added Necro to her team after a performance in Alola, offering the Mimikyu a place in the spotlight alongside the rest of her little stars. She’s careful to choreograph her performances to ensure the safety of her team and the audience, something Reaver and Tiso have been tasked with providing an assured extra line of protection to those watching.

With the limitations of what pokemon can come to Galar, that region is the single one that hasn’t seen the Thousand Stars. In the borders of Galar, she is much more known for her other performances, such as Aerosmith or Knight’s Specter. She doesn’t quite mind this, it’s nice to perform something else every now and again, but the fact that she can’t bring her entire team over to the region bothers her more than anything else. She’s working on petitioning the Chairman.

AU time? AU time. I have a small handful of alternatives to Adelyn, but one of my favorites is Fairy Gym Leader Adelyn, wherein she is the Gym Leader to replace Opal. She does wear a lot of pink during the Thousand Stars after all.

In this AU, she lives in Ballonlea, and while she does have Rose, she does not use her for gym battles or tournaments. And you expect her to Dynamax? Oh you sweet summer child, Dynamaxing doesn’t quite show how strong her bond with her team is. She may not be able to use the team she’s known for, but rather instead uses Haxel, an Alolan Ninetales, a Galarian Rapidash, and Necro. She adds Mawile during the tournaments.

Her gym battles are double battles, wherein Haxel is mega evolved. I know Mega evolution doesn’t exist in the games, but I imagine in full, “real” universe, it does.

Adelyn is shipped with Piers, their ship is tagged with Pierlyn. They’re a pair of performers that love each other and their pokemon and are thrilled to be able to have their shows together. They have one performance together already, called the Midnight Sun. They’re partners both in and out of the spotlight.

Extra Notes

Rose, Ser Reaver, and Haxel are all capable of Mega Evolution, and her keystone is embedded in the choker she wears.

Rose’s full nickname is technically Rose Diamond, though she shortens it to Rose. Ser Reaver is most often shorted to just Reaver.

Adelyn is a part of a headcanon and OC heavy Pokemon universe I have with my friend, so many posts about her will include references to other OCs and parts of that universe.

She could probably beat Leon if she tried. And had her full team.

Adelyn’s sister is my oldest pokemon OC. Her name is Cherilyn and I’ve had her since playing Emerald way back when.

Haxel’s favorite gems are pink gems. She used to try to eat Rose. She still sometimes playfully nips at her.

Adelyn adores Obstagoon and would love to take him and Piers to Hoenn to show them a Hoennian Zigzagoon.

#Oasis's OCs #pokemon oc #i can't draw so have a written thing #uhhh yeah thats it idk what else to tag this with #im shy pls be nice #adelyn lyons

(ask-hattrem) Annabelle notices Rip, surprised to see a toxtricity at the beach. "Heya there! I've heard a lot about toxtricity and their music, but I've never seen one before. Are you any good at playing? I'm not sure if the beach is the best for sound, but I'm sure a lot of pokemon would want to hear you! ...ah, that is if you're comfortable and all..."

(Star Child, Laney and Baisti are now here and ready for interactions)
