New Xatu Discovered

—

Region : First discovered in Unova

Habitat : Wetlands / Swamps

Population / Conservation Status : Elusive as fuck (unknown)

Nature : Confrontational and highly aggressive (do not engage )

Height : 5’4 (upright)

Theorized Type : Fighting/Psychic

Theorized Abilities : Big Pecks / Iron Fist / Rocky Payload ??? / Multiscale ???

For now, researchers have been only studying from afar and here’s some notes Professor Tree has shared with me

Aggressive in nature : Capable of future sight. Avoid at all cost. Team was tracked down back to their research vans where they were ambushed in the dead of night to banging all over the exterior of the vans. Morning revealed several dents and busted head/rear lights with stones found near the scene of the crime. There had been an attempt at opening a locked door

Team was required to leave that morning due to broken lights and travel time back to civilization

Team observed red eye like shapes in the shadows of the trees as the sun began setting

Observed to have similar behaviors of destruction as Bombirdier

Known Moves so far : Ancient Power, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Low Sweep, Stomp, Peck, Rock Slide, Rock Blast, Taunt, Future Sight, Psychic, Fly, Gravity, Power Trip, Sky Attack, Pursuit, Brick Break, Rock Smash, Double Kick

—More Info Below—

Been observed to have large flat feet which allows them to stand and walk through shallow muddy water with ease

These variants have been witnessed to be far more aggressive compared to their common Xatu line. They have been seen testing the patiences of Wishcash and kicking Shelmets back and forth like a foot ball before smashing the shell to devour them

Barboach are considered hard to eat and a taste that most humans find undesirable due to their diet. These Xatu’s seem be one of the few predator Pokémon that feast off the regularly

Though still psychic, they seemed to have little use for it in terms of fighting prowess, often only every using it for stone chucking

They have been seen hurling : rocks, Shelmets, rocks at shelmets, shelmets at rocks, Barboach, Barboach at rocks even after death, dropping Barboach from high heights onto thin logs, resulting in the fish exploding in half upon impact . . .

They have been known to be far more active compared to common Xatus, misusing their ability of Future Sight and foresight to locate their next food source

More research is needed (along with more backup)

After the attack on the van, they have decided to call a group of these a “Gang”

The Aftermath

Starter for @nats-rp-world based on this drabble

*PLEASE LOOK AT TRIGGER WARNINGS IN TAGS*

“So far so good?”

Karen asked trying to crane her neck to see into the small hole. She was standing on the door patiently waiting for Will to bring the body up. Her magma hoodie was now lacking in one sleeve that was clutched in her hand. After realizing they didn’t have enough bandages to cover such a large wound to aide in applying pressure she decided to cut a sleeve off the hoodie to use as a wrap. It was sort of a patch job but it was what they had. 

“Looks that way. Xatu is starting to carry bring him up. We’re going to transfer control in a minute so I need to focus.”

Will responded sitting to focus as much of his mind on this as possible. He’d lifted entire people before, but he was most used to lifting people the size of Karen. Which she was only 5′5. Sure him being in shape helped but still there was a sizable difference there. He just hoped it wouldn’t be as strenuous as lifting Bruno who while not as tall the density of his muscles made him a nightmare to have to lift. 

“You got it Will, taking it at your pace is going to be the important thing.”

He heard Karen call in encouragement. Right, he didn’t have to go terribly far for this stretch, just get him far enough so Karen could patch him up. What he needed to focus on was getting used to the overall weight so that he could take him farther up. Letting out a deep breath he focused his mind on the body just coming into view. Narrowing in on the field currently around the other’s form he started to let his own creep it’s way over Xatu’s till he started to bear the full weight. Ok this was going to be strenuous, but manageable. He realized focusing on guiding him through the hole. 

Karen stayed silent wanting to encourage him, but knowing what he needed right now was complete concentration. She could hear the clank of metal and exhales of fire ripping from below as her houndoom worked with xatu to reinforce where the chunk of pole had once been. So far everything was going to plan. The pole didn’t seem to of even been bearing anything, but she still kept her ears open to any sign of danger. 

Steadily the other’s body was brought over to where she was crouched on her knees. Still breathing, good, but also still unconscious. Disadvantage to that was it meant his condition wasn’t great, but on the positive side Will didn’t have to deal with a squirming person. 

“I’m just going to lift your shirt a bit so I can clean this better, ok? You’re doing really well just hold on.”

She assured speaking gently. It didn’t matter if he was awake or not she wanted to keep talking to him as if he was in case some part was listening. In a way it reassured her, and she hoped calmed the person. Throwing the detached sleeve over her shoulder Karen rolled the bottom of the shirt up enough to see what she needed. This was the time anyone had seen the wound uncovered. It was as bad as she had expected though now saw the pole was a pipe. She could see the ground under him through the small hole as he levitated above it. Too distracted by this she failed to notice his eyes move just under the lids. 

“Ok turn him a bit please.”

The woman called as Will did as she asked. Turning him so he was now slightly angled towards the chasm below Karen could get a view of where the pole exited. They had one large bandage which she planned to put there to keep any more blood to leak out. The wound had begun bleeding again after being moved along the pipe, but she didn’t see any signs of severe infection. Grabbing some of the gauze she poured alcohol on it hoping this would help keep it that way. 

“Will I’m going to clean it now. He’s been out cold so far, but steady yourself incase he wakes up. Lysandre this is going to hurt a bit please try to stay still.”

Again she spoke to him as if he could hear her before applying the soaked gauze to skin.

[swirly592]

Right, so I gotta vent about all this Pokémon Sword and Shield nonsense going around. Let me say that yes, the developers shouldn’t be rushed and I’d prefer 2-3 years between games if it made them better, however that doesn’t mean the game is trash just because management is awful. Sorry to tell you this, but ever since DP GameFreak has been aiming for some kind of Pokémon game every year. This isn’t a new issue.

Let’s get on with the show.

Keep in mind all of the released information so far is from 4chan. Even those posts on reddit are about information originally posted on 4chan. That’s not the most reliable source out there.

1) Dex cut

Yeah, it fucking sucks that the dex was cut, especially so much. Do I think that the cut was because they wanted to make sure each model was perfect? No, it’s probably a lie. However, I think the reason for the cut was something that people are overlooking: space. There are now nearly 1000 Pokémon to model and animate, neveminding the fact each one can be shiny (thus a new model) and there are tons of forms ranging from relatively useless like Resolute Form to Megas to regional variants. All of that is just the Pokémon, never mind and human models, background models like houses, trees, etc. I can’t help but think the switch just couldn’t handle all of it without going into negative frame rates. Hell, the games have been having issues with frame rate since BW and I’m pretty sure even back then it was due to size.

I think GF wanted people to hope about getting their favorites back while not admitting the switch isn’t the greatest thing since the invention of the lightbulb. Could I be wrong, of course. I don’t have the ability to identify just how large everything is. But don’t just assume the Dex was cut for a nefarious reason when your proof is a person claiming to know things on 4chan.

2) Animations

From the videos, they certainly don’t seem to be the best. Honestly, they don’t look any better than SM and sometimes those looked wonky. But let’s be real here: when has Pokémon ever had that great of animation? I get that GF is claiming they focused on that, but the models were never going to be the best things ever. The move animations make as much sense as they always have. Don’t forget that when using flamethrower on Pokémon that are too tall in games like Platinum, the fire comes out of the stomach. There’s just a bunch of standard motions and they simply pick the best one to use for each move.

Now, stop complaining about Wingull and Xatus overworld idle animations. Wingull has always been like that, I’m pretty sure at least once Dex entry says it’s a glider. Xatu is a psychic totem pole bird, it can do whatever it wants. Wailord’s size being shrunken down so much is quite silly, but how big do you guys want it? It’d be nice to see them all proportional to their Dex sizes, but I also want to see everything clearly. I didn’t like not being able to see the top of Alola Exeggutor after I got over how silly it was. I don’t want the same thing for other Pokémon too. Hop reusing Hau’s animations is ridiculous, but I don’t really pay attention to that kind of thing typically. He’s just meant to be a nice kid to be the rival. Don’t forget that this is a kid game, subtle emotions are both difficult to express and to interpret for someone young. If you want to do an emotion, you have to go big. There are only so many ways to express the same emotion with large movements.

3) Move cut

Alright, if this is true I am indeed pissed. There’s no need to cut the moves, especially the ones like return and hidden power which people actually use. If they were worried about the number of moves (and I’ll be fair, it’d be insane), don’t add new ones? I don’t think people would be that upset a generation added only a few moves so long as the movepools themselves were okay.

4) GTS Removal

... I get why they did it. Monetarily, it’s more logical to have a paid subscription service for online play rather than it being free. I don’t like it, but so long as the fee is low I’ll accept it. Servers are expensive and more people are wanting access to online. They have to pay for it consistently somehow.

5) Dynamax

There are people complaining that Dynamax/Gigadynamax Pokémon aren’t hard enough. The evidence they have is Coalossol being one shot by Intellon (Intelleon? No idea how you spell it). Please remember that our coal dude is fire/rock and the water starter used a decently powerful water move. Being surprised the Pokémon with a quadruple weakness to water was OHKOed by a water move is like being surprised Charizard Y is OHKOed by rock slide. At least wait until a harder challenge appears before judging the gimmick like that.

Look, I’m obviously a fan of the series. I admit some of the changes fucking suck, no matter how much I may understand why it was done. But the people who are bitching the most about how awful the game is are probably the same ones who bitched about BW when it first came out. A game many look back on fondly now.

Everyone should stop freaking the fuck out, form your own opinion about the game when it’s actually released and not just leaked, and stop trying to scare people away because you can.

In which the lost are found back home

First: In which the human is transformed Next [ARC 2]: In which a present is prepared Previous: In which help is requested from a higher power

    “Keahi…?” Tsuki asked, padding up beside the torchic. “You ran out in such a hurry…”

    Keahi exhaled, slowly letting out the tension in her body, “I just… I really hoped they’d be back,” she replied, squinting in annoyance at the desperation in her voice.

    Tsuki paused, and then sighed as well, “yeah, me too…”

    The pair stood outside for a few more moments, watching the morning sky. The sunrise had already passed, so they were left to stare at the clouds that slowly lolled on by across the open light blue field above them. Tsuki glanced back at the team base, and then back to her teammate.

    “What did Gardevoir tell you? Good news, I hope…?”

“Oh, yeah!” Keahi answered, finally turning to face the absol. “She said it’s possible to bring them back… but I don’t know how long it will take.”

    Tsuki shifted her weight, “then we’ll just have to be patient. Nothing else we can do about it,” she muttered, but her digging her claws in and out of the dirt path told Keahi that the absol was just as impatient.

    Keahi didn’t respond; she turned her gaze instead back up to the sky. It was looking to be a beautiful day so far, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the torchic’s feathers, the ends of the scarf she was wearing around her head feathers, and the absol’s fur.

    “Edgar insisted that because we both skipped lunch and supper yesterday, that we’d have to make a big breakfast,” Tsuki told Keahi, “unfortunately, neither of us are the best at cooking…”

    “Are you asking me to help?” Keahi questioned, looking over at her teammate again.

    “Yes, I suppose I am,” Tsuki admitted, “it would help pass the time, at the very least.”

    “Mm, yeah… alright, alright… let’s go back inside,” Keahi agreed.

    Even with that said, neither of them moved for a moment. Tsuki was about to turn and head back in, but hesitated when she saw that Keahi hadn’t moved, and so she stayed in place too. The torchic had begun tensing up again, stepping back and forth in place as she kept her eyes fixated above her. Then, she began shaking, her gaze dropping down to the ground again.

    “I… I-I miss them so much… I just want them b-b-back,” Keahi gasped, tears pricking at her eyes again.

    “I know… me too,” Tsuki responded.

    Keahi staggered over to Tsuki, who pulled her close. The absol leaned down and pressed her muzzle to the torchic’s forehead as she let Keahi cry into her fur again. A feeling of pain swelled up in Tsuki’s chest and throat, and she let out some tears as well.

    Together, they comforted each other in the quiet early morning on the lonely path.

    Slowly, they let each other go again after a few minutes. Tsuki shook out her fur as she stepped back, ridding herself of the remaining tears in her eyes as well. Keahi stayed in place before finally offering her teammate a small smile.

    “Okay, let’s make some breakfast,” she told her in a quiet voice.

    They walked back inside the team base, where Edgar had been patiently waiting in the kitchen area. Some bowls and other various dishes and ingredients had been pulled out across the counter and table, but evidently none of them had actually been used yet.

    “You’re back!” Edgar exclaimed, floating over to the pair. “Are… How are you doing?”

    Keahi opened her beak to speak, and then hesitated and shrugged instead.

    “We’re managing,” Tsuki answered the duskull, “Keahi says that Gardevoir is working on a solution to… to the problem, but we still have to wait.”

    Nodding in agreement to Tsuki’s answer, Keahi hopped onto one of the stools so that she could properly look over what had been brought out.

    “Okay, okay…” Edgar responded, nodding as well. “But… But it still hurts; while we have to wait.”

    Tsuki sighed, “of course.”

    “What were you two trying to make here?” Keahi interrupted, glancing back and forth at them.

    “Pancakes!” Edgar answered, approaching the torchic to speak to her more directly. “I asked what made a good, big breakfast, and Tsuki told me that the biggest breakfast she had had with you guys was pancakes. So, we decided to make that,” he explained, looking over what had been brought out for a moment as well. “We… We didn’t get that far with it though,” he admitted.

    “I see that… That’s fine though, we can all work together with it now,” Keahi replied, “here, I’ll help show you what to do…”

    It was a slow process, perhaps the slowest breakfast had ever been made in this house, but they made breakfast together. Keahi relayed the instructions and did the actual cooking, Tsuki gathered any ingredients and dishes that hadn’t been brought out already, while Edgar did most of the mixing. Together, they managed to make a couple pancakes for each of them, and enjoyed that with some syrup for their morning meal. Without any of the extra toppings or side food that was usually added, this breakfast became a fairly bland meal; but after not eating in a while, no one complained.

    Afterwards, though, they were left with the same emptiness that had consumed them the day before. While actually working had become a more available option in their minds, it was still one that was quickly rejected for various reasons. They all wanted to wait for the missing trio to return, though Keahi was the one to enforce it the most, and no one wanted to have to pass through Pokemon Square like this yet.

    However, it didn’t take long for the idea of just going outside for, at the very least, some fresh air to become appealing. It had barely been a half hour since everyone had finished eating before the idea of hanging out on their lawn outside was brought up, and agreed upon.

    “Perhaps we should head to the Hill of the Ancients instead,” Tsuki suggested as they walked out of the house, “if they disappeared there, then that may be where they reappear.”

    Keahi furrowed her brows, “I think we should wait here,” she decided.

    “Why do you think that?” Tsuki questioned, shoving the door shut behind them.

    “I… I just do. I feel like we should stay here,” Keahi insisted, “besides, if they do appear there, then Xatu can just use telepathy to let us know,” she added.

    “Very well,” Tsuki responded, “let us wait here then.”

    Idly, Tsuki wandered over to their mailbox and pawed it open. Surprisingly, there were a few new letters in there that hadn’t been there the day before; but she barely spared them a glance before closing it again. She had only opened the mailbox just to have something to do anyway, and she hadn’t actually expected to have to read any messages left behind from others. They could deal with that later.

    Taking a step back, she began looking over the mailbox itself. At this point, Keahi and Edgar had wandered over to join her, and so together they studied the painting they had left on it when they had put the mailbox back after the Team Meanies vandalism. The different colored paints still held strong, and everyone could clearly see the names written on the sides alongside the footprints and handprint that had stuck on. It gave the mailbox a bright and colorful look, shining with happier memories of only a few days before.

    “Did you guys make this?” Edgar asked after a few moments of silence.

    “The mailbox, no. But we did paint this, yes…” Tsuki answered.

    Keahi nodded, “after we finished building the base… we decided to give the mailbox some colors.”

    “It looks really nice like this,” Edgar commented with a hum.

    “Thanks…” Keahi murmured, rereading all the names written on the mailbox.

    After another few moments, Keahi let out a sigh, leaning forward and resting her forehead on the side of the mailbox. Tsuki’s shoulders sagged as she glanced over at the torchic, but she said nothing and eventually turned her gaze back up to the empty sky again. Edgar hovered around the pair for a bit longer, before beginning to slowly wander around the property; something he didn’t get the chance to do before now.

    He floated around the house first, just a quick tour around the outside walls. It felt smaller on the outside, but an easy peek inside told him that the size, of course, had never changed. The grass growing on the lawn was a strong green, but it faded into patchy bunches closer to the recently constructed house. A chimney made from bricks stuck out of a side wall, which he knew connected to the large fireplace inside.

    At the other end of the base, a tall flagpole had been erected at the roof, hanging the galaxy-print fabric from it. With no wind, the flag currently lay limp against the pole. He brought himself closer to it, tugging at it with one of his hands to get a better look at it. There was a white crescent moon and two stars stitched into one side, but was otherwise the galaxy-print that he had already grown to recognize with the team leaders’ accessories; both of which Keahi was currently wearing.

    Looking down at the other two, he noted how high up he was. He hadn’t been paying attention as he had hovered up here, but this was a pretty big home. He didn’t know much about construction, but even he could tell that this must have taken a lot of work from the entire team.

    “Edgar.” Keahi had noticed that the duskull had wandered up. “You’re up on the roof,” she commented.

    “Yes, I am!” Edgar called back, “do you want me to come down?” he questioned, tilting to the side. “I was just admiring your flag.”

    “Oh, you can stay up there if you want,” Keahi replied, “I… I want to go up there too.”

    “Really? Okay!” Edgar responded, floating over to the lower part of the roof to await his friends.

    While Keahi made it back to the side of the house first, it was Tsuki that managed to climb her way up onto the roof first. She shuffled around to get in position, before making a beautifully high leap straight on top of the building.

    “Woah, that was a good jump!” Edgar complimented.

    Tsuki nodded over to the duskull and then turned around to look back down at the torchic again. Keahi was still looking up at them from the ground, her gaze shifting around the walls as she wondered how to get up. The group had just been up there the night before, but she had always gotten help whenever they decided to watch the sky from the rooftop.

    Fortunately, Tsuki seemed to reach the same conclusion. She laid down on her belly and reached a forepaw down for Keahi to grab on to. However, this still wasn’t enough to break the gap between them. Deciding to try helping as well, Edgar floated back down to give the torchic a boost, which was enough to help her grab onto the absol’s paw and be pulled up the rest of the way.

    Now, the three were up sitting on the roof together, taking in the familiar view. Ahead they could see the path winding out across the land, and if they looked further and around, they could see where the forest began, as well at the outskirts of Pokemon Square. Above, of course, stretched out the ever open blue sky, still practically devoid of any clouds.

    “Shall we wait here then?” Tsuki asked quietly, sitting down on her haunches.

    Keahi nodded, letting out a hum of approval instead of giving a vocal answer. She looked up to the sky like she had done when she was outside not that long before, sitting with her feet tucked under her feathers.

    And they waited.

    For the most part, they remained quiet. Simply taking the time to quietly enjoy each other’s company as they sat together on the roof.

    Eventually though, they began speaking again. After an entire afternoon of practically complete silence, it felt good to begin just talking to each other again and letting out some of their feelings. Keahi began recounting stories of the team’s adventures, Tsuki chiming in when she could as well. When the memories became bitter instead of sweet, they began asking Edgar more questions about his time in Sky Tower, and how he felt just being here on the land. Once conversation picked up, it felt easy to keep it going. While it wasn’t enthusiastic chatter, it was a good talk, a peaceful discussion to keep them going.

    After a bit over an hour of this, Kangaskhan dropped by again. They could see her walking down the path long before she was in earshot, and watched her approach the house, carrying a pan covered with foil in her hands. Seeing the group outside, she offered them a warm smile as usual, but her eyes didn’t carry the same cheeriness that Keahi and Tsuki had grown accustomed to.

    “Hello there dearies,” Kangaskhan greeted, “it’s good to see you all outside today.”

    “Hello, mom,” Tsuki replied softly, nodding. “It is a nice day… despite everything. Getting some fresh air does us well anyway,” she murmured.

    “That’s your mom?” Edgar blurted out.

    “Adopted, but yes,” Tsuki responded, scratching the back of her head with a hind paw as she spoke.

    “We’re waiting for the others to come back,” Keahi told Kangaskhan firmly.

    Deep down, there was a moment of doubt, that Kangaskhan would think them to be foolish to hoping for this miracle. But the feeling swiftly passed as the large pokemon gave them a slow, approving nod. There was no doubt in her eyes, only a glimmer of hope that they had now passed onto her.

    “I made this vegetable casserole for you all. It can make good comfort food,” Kangaskhan began explaining, “plus, cooking is a good activity to work through one’s stress,” she added quietly, “I figured that I would drop by, check in, and leave this for you in case you didn’t feel motivated to cook for yourselves. Perhaps you can just share it with the others when they get back, I did make a lot anyway.”

    There was a pause, and then Keahi smiled.

    “Thanks, Kangaskhan,” she said.

    “Of course, sweeties. It’s no trouble at all,” Kangaskhan assured them, “you all deserve better times, and I wish from the bottom of my heart that you’ll get that soon.”

    “Thank you, again,” Tsuki responded, now giving a soft smile as well. “It is nice to have you visit again, thank you for giving us our space yesterday,” she added, “I believe that we’ll want to save that casserole for later though. The door is unlocked if you want to put it on the table.”

    Kangaskhan nodded, “I’ll do that then. Thanks for letting me know.”

    She opened the door and entered the house, but only for long enough to set the pan she had brought down on the kitchen island table. Closing the door again, she walked back over to the trio still up on the roof. Her brows creased in a look of concern, but it faded away again after a moment.

    “Will you all do fine if I leave you again? I’m afraid that despite everything, my job doesn’t offer many vacation days,” Kangaskhan said.

    They paused, and then Keahi nodded. Tsuki shifted her position on the roof, offering Kangaskhan another small smile.

    “We’ll be alright, but thank you for offering, mom,” Tsuki replied.

    Kangaskhan opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again as she reconsidered. After a moment’s thought, she managed another smile at them and spoke.

    “Very well. I trust that you all will be able to handle yourselves for now, just remember that you can always stop by my stand, or even my place, if you need some other company,” she responded.

    “Okay, we’ll keep that in mind!” Edgar chimed in.

    Another pause, another reconsideration of a reply. Instead of speaking again this time though, Kangaskhan simply approached the side of the house more. Tsuki instinctively to see what her mother figure wanted, and received a comforting nuzzle in farewell. Kangaskhan went to Keahi next, who leaned down as well to accept the gesture. Edgar even accepted it too, floating downwards instead of forcing Kangaskhan to reach up. Despite not knowing her that well, he was willing to take the comforting touch before she would leave back to her own work again.

    With the silent goodbyes done, Kangaskhan turned to go down the path again. She glanced over her shoulder a couple times as she walked away, but there was nothing else said before she disappeared back into the streets of Pokemon Square.

    And they waited.

    They waited on the roof for another few hours, the sun creeping across the sky into the afternoon. As with the previous passage of time, they did begin talking to each other again, and this time they would pace around as their limbs grew tired from not moving for so long. There were no signs of their friends’ returning, including no telepathic message from Xatu. Doubt was beginning to creep in, but none of them would admit to it and remained strong. After all, they hadn’t been promised a certain time. For all they knew, it would take a day, or even weeks or months.

    Then, there was a golden orb in the sky that Keahi had been staring so intently at.

    “They’re back!” Keahi yelled, being the first to spot the small light.

    In her excitement, she leapt off from the roof of the house, only to face-plant into the ground below. Before anyone could react, she scrambled back to her feet as if that stumble was only a minor inconvenience, kicking dirt around her as she got up to her feet and hurried out into the path again. Tsuki leapt down swiftly afterwards, landing much more gracefully than the torchic had, and Edgar floated back down to join them.

    “Please… please… please,” Keahi repeated under her breath, pacing around the path while keeping her gaze on the orb.

    Slowly, it continued floating downwards, finally settling itself in front of Keahi, where it spun around her a couple times before landing on her forehead and fading away. Keahi blinked, shaking her head as the glow disappeared, and looked back up at the sky to see if there was anything else.

    There was nothing. The sky was just as empty as it had been moments before.

    Tsuki padded up beside Keahi, studying the torchic’s blank expression for a moment. Edgar floated up to her other side, and the absol glanced over at him instead.

    “Do you sense anything?” she asked.

    “I…” Edgar paused. “There’s something, but I don’t know what…?”

    Keahi nodded, “I think that was a message. We just have to wait a bit longer.”

    “…very well,” Tsuki replied, stretching in place for a moment.

    And they waited.

    Minutes dragged on far longer than they ever should have, but the trio remained in place. Keahi continued staring up at the sky as she had been, hoping for something else to appear.

    Then, it finally happened. Another golden orb appeared in the sky, soon followed by dozens upon hundreds more. All swarming down from the heavens and landing in front of the group. The lights continued swirling around for a few moments, before finally fading away from the last time, revealing Nelvana, Alex, and Ceebee, clumped together, appearing a bit dazed.

    “You’re back! You’re back! You’re back! You’re finally back!” Keahi yelled.

    She rushed forward, tackling Nelvana into a hug before any of the returned trio could properly react to any of this. The cubone stiffened from surprise, but quickly relaxed again, returning the hug and letting a laugh bubble out from her throat.

    “Yes! We’re back! We’re back, don’t worry, we’re back!” Nelvana responded, using repetition to push the point to even herself before pulling her partner close to her and resting her forehead on hers.

    “I’m so glad… I missed you all so much, I was so scared that you’d never come back,” Keahi replied, and then paused. “Oh, Nel! Look! I kept the scarf for you, see?” she mentioned, tugging at one of the ends of the scarf with one of her wing talons.

    Nelvana’s smile grew, “you did, thank you!” she hummed, bumping her forehead against the torchic’s again for a moment. “I knew I could trust you with that.”

    She lifted an arm from around the torchic to tug away the scarf, but the pair didn’t separate. Keahi kept herself stuck next to Nelvana, as if she would disappear again if she let go. This made putting back on the scarf a bit more challenging, but she pulled this task off and then immediately pulled Keahi in another hug.

    Behind them, Alex erupted into an excited laugh as well, too impatient to just sit back and watch the reunion, he hurried forward now and scooped the pair into a hug as well and spun around. Tsuki let out a cheery bark and began running around them, waiting for Alex to slow to just standing before leaning up next to them, waving her forepaws in the air in an attempt to join in the group hug properly. Ceebee giggled, flying over to the group in a hurry and leaning into the hug as well after a couple spins. Edgar was the last to join in, but not by long, and he joined in similarly to how the celebi had.

    Another laugh bubbled up from Keahi, and it infected the rest of the group, bringing them all to a joyous chorus all at once. Once again, there were few words, but it wasn’t silent, and it wasn’t uncomfortable. Just having each others’ presences together again brought them the needed comfort.

    “Arceus…” Keahi gasped, “I’m so glad you all are back… I was just so… so scared that you were gone for good,” she whispered.

    “You’ve already said that,” Alex chuckled.

    “I know, I know… But it’s true,” Keahi replied, “I don’t know what else to say… I’m still scared that we’ll lose you all over again.”

    “How long were we gone?” Ceebee asked, finding herself in a very comfortable position leaning over Alex’s shoulder and onto Keahi’s warm feathers.

    “Over a day,” Tsuki answered, glancing down at the ground as she spoke before looking back up at the others again.

    “A day?” Alex repeated, “that isn’t that bad. Could’ve been worse.”

    “It was the worst day of my life!” Keahi snapped, immediately shrinking back at her own harshness with her tone in that comment. “Ah… s-sorry.”

    Alex frowned, “hey, no need to apologize for that. That must’ve been a really painful time, we’re sorry.”

    “But, hey, we aren’t leaving again,” Nelvana added, “I promise.”

    “You really promise?” Keahi questioned.

    “Of course, I promise,” Nelvana replied, “as long as any of us have a say in it, we’re sticking around.”

    “Thank you,” Keahi replied, nuzzling her head in her partner’s shoulder.

    “Look, sorry guys but I can’t carry you forever,” Alex commented, carefully setting Nelvana and Keahi back down onto the path.

    “It’s fine,” Nelvana responded softly.

    This action didn’t separate the group much though. Even though Alex had set down the pair he had been carrying, he didn’t step back afterwards, and no one else seemed too inclined to move away either, keeping everyone bunched close in a clump together.

    “Where did you go, anyway?” Edgar asked.

    There was a pause, and then one-by-one the three time travelers’ expressions shifted into one of shock as they tried coming up with an answer to what should have been a simple question.

    “I-I don’t remember,” Alex mumbled, then snapping his gaze to exchange looks with the other two. “Do either of you?” he asked, receiving stiff shrugging and head shaking as a response.

    “We definitely went… somewhere. I guess we just don’t get to remember where?” Nelvana suggested, rubbing the back of her neck anxiously. “That’s really weird though… I don’t like that,” she added under her breath.

    “Perhaps it is for the best,” Tsuki murmured, “you went somewhere where people aren’t supposed to come back. Who knows what else would have been there, and what secrets could have been leaked out if you had remembered and just told us now.”

    “That sounds likely,” Ceebee agreed, “besides, what’s here, right now, is more important anyway.”

    “And I’m sure if we ever do get curious enough about it, we can probably go ahead and look into it later,” Alex added, slowly relaxing again after that jolt. “But for now…”

    “For now, we should celebrate!” Edgar suddenly squealed, spinning around the group again. “You guys are back! You’re back again! We should celebrate or do something!” he continued, “at the very least, we should announce it to that town! There were lots of people who stopped by worried about you guys, well, all of us really!”

    “Edgar has a good point, we should go into Pokemon Square to announce your return,” Keahi responded, nodding. “Everyone will be so happy to see you all back again!” she added, grinning again.

    “I guess we shouldn’t waste anymore time then, should we? We can always spend more time alone here again afterwards,” Nelvana said.

    Despite saying this, no one moved for a moment. Nelvana, deciding to take initiative, lifted her foot to take a step forward, but it bumped into Keahi, who was still huddled up close to her.

    “Keahi…?”

    “Oh, sorry!” Keahi scrambled back to her feet, but still didn’t move too far away from the cubone. “I just…”

    “Nah, it’s fine. I can carry you if you want,” Nelvana offered, smiling.

    “I’ve been carried enough in the last while!” Keahi huffed, puffing up her chest feathers defiantly. “I can walk! I just… want to stay close to you.”

    “Too late, I’ve decided that I want to carry you,” Nelvana insisted, snickering, to which Keahi didn’t continue arguing about. “Hey Alex, would you mind holding my club for me?” she requested.

    “When did I become your designated club carrier?” Alex quipped, placing a hand on his hip.

    “Please?” Nelvana pressured, waving the bone in the grovyle’s face.

    “I’ll carry it for you, Nel,” Ceebee butted in, taking the weapon from the cubone’s hands.

    “Why thank you dear Ceebee,” Nelvana replied with an exaggerated sweetness in her tone.

    “It’s no problem at all!” Ceebee replied, using the same tone.

    Alex rolled his eyes, but he couldn’t help but laugh at the warm joking that was taking place. His smile once again didn’t last long as he suddenly froze in place, patting along his body in a frenzy.

    “Where’d my bag go?” he questioned, turning around to try looking around again.

    “You dropped it,” Tsuki informed him, “don’t worry, it’s just inside. We shouldn’t need it right now anyway, you can grab it later.”

    “Hey! C’mon you two! You don’t want to fall behind!” Edgar exclaimed.

    Looking back up at the others again greeted them with the sight that they were already leaving. Nelvana had hoisted Keahi onto her shoulders, and now they were sprinting down the path in an energetic hurry, with Ceebee fluttering behind them the best she could. Alex let out another chuckle before bounding after them, catching up quickly with his natural good speed. Tsuki and Edgar hurried along to catch up with the others as well.

    “They’re back! We’re all back! Team Galaxy is all together again!”

    Pokemon Square had never been known for huge celebrations or parties, since it isn’t that big of a town to begin with. However, it still knew how to bring everyone together when needed. Even if in general no one carried the knowledge or the materials to throw a party, especially on such short notice, it went well. The last time something like this happened was after the mission to Magma Cavern, which despite feeling like ages ago already, had only taken place a couple days before.

    This celebration blew that one right out of the water. After all, not only were they all celebrating the world being saved, but also the return of half of the team responsible for making the former happen. Many pokemon filled the place very quickly. The crowd that had made their way to the Hill of the Ancients that day before had arrived now, as well as all the citizens that had been unable to make the trip before.

    Like that previous celebration, this lasted for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. Right off the bat were the greetings and excited reunions. Even those who didn’t know of the three that disappeared that much came by to leave a comment of too. Everyone had something to say, and many pokemon had something to give as well. Accepting gifts was as awkward as ever for most of the team, but the joyous atmosphere buried that anxiety away swiftly and let everyone enjoy themselves.

    But as the sun set, many of the townsfolk began turning in for the night, including Team Galaxy. Looking forward for some time with just the six of them, they spent longer than expected waving goodbye to Pokemon Square for the night before heading back to their base again.

    However, they paused at the doorway, and Nelvana held up her badge, looking over at the others.

    “Actually, before we settle inside for the night, how about we see about properly adding you guys to the team?” she suggested, “no sense in delaying it any longer than needed.”

    “Oh yeah! That’s a great idea, Nel!” Keahi agreed.

    “Ooh! You really mean it? We can actually join the team?” Edgar exclaimed, bobbing around in the air excitedly.

    Alex chuckled, “of course.”

    “Tsuki, are you ready to join Team Galaxy now?” Nelvana began, turning to face the absol.

    Tsuki shifted her position, standing tall and proud in front of the cubone.

    “I am, indeed.”

    “That’s great, I’m glad,” Nelvana hummed, “here we go then.”

    Still holding up the badge, Nelvana took another step forward and used the tiny device to scan Tsuki. After a quick check on how to spell her name, everything was completed and there was a cheerful beep as the registration was complete.

    “Welcome to Team Galaxy, as an official member now!” Keahi chirped.

    “Alright, we met up with Ceebee next, so it’s only fair to ask her now…” Nelvana continued, giving Tsuki a pat on the shoulder before turning to face the celebi. “Would you like to join Team Galaxy, officially?”

    Ceebee nodded enthusiastically, “yup! I do!”

    Another click of a button, and another scan, but this time Nelvana was interrupted before she could fill out the name by a loud, less cheerful, beep, making everyone jump in surprise by the sudden and unfamiliar noise. Confused, she squinted at the badge to figure out what had happened.

    “What’s wrong?” Alex asked, leaning over to look as well.

    Nelvana let out a nervous laugh, “oh, it just wasn’t expecting us to scan a mythical! I think it wants a rescan, and a more proper confirmation from you, Ceebee.”

    “Ah, that’s alright! Pretty neat that it recognizes the oddity to have a mythical be scanned here,” Ceebee hummed, fluttering closer.

    After more fiddling around, they managed to get back this strange bump in the registration and get Ceebee onto the team properly. With some sighs of relief that it had worked, and some congratulations for the new member, Nelvana finally turned to Edgar.

    “Alright, last but not least… Edgar, would you like to join Team Galaxy?”

    “Of course!” Edgar exclaimed, still continuously bobbing around in the air.

    “Okay!” Nelvana responded, “let’s see if this works better this time ‘round…”

    There was a slight pause after the scanning, but no loud beeping or extra steps this time. Edgar hovered around impatiently as Nelvana inputted his name, finally getting everyone registered properly in the team.

    “Well, now everyone really is all together again!” Alex commented with a wide grin.

    “Yeah! This was a great way to come back at the end of the day, thanks for bringing it up, Nel!” Keahi agreed, now stepping over to the door.

    Everyone followed her closer to the base, and so Keahi simply opened the door without needing to unlock it, earning a stare from Alex.

    “You guys forgot to lock the door?” he questioned as they walked back inside. “That isn’t very secure you know, someone could have broken in,” he continued.

    “You don’t know what happened!” Keahi huffed, hopping up to the island table. “Here, Kangaskhan brought us some casserole today. I can warm it up for some supper.”

    “Sounds good to me!” Ceebee chirped, fluttering around the house. “Say, this is a nice place you have here! It’s cozy, but has lots of space!”

    “Yeah, we built it together with some help!” Keahi responded, “feel free to explore around if you’d like!”

    Edgar followed the celebi, eager to show her what he had explored the day before, and Tsuki opted to follow them a bit as supervision. Nelvana was about to sit down beside Keahi and see what she could do to help prepare the meal, but her gaze was drawn to the next room, which still was littered with the papers that had been dropped the day before.

    “Why are my drawings all over the floor?” Nelvana asked.

    Tsuki’s head perked up and she turned back around to face the cubone, “ah… that was my bad, apologies. I wanted to look through them and ended up dropping them.”

    “And then ended up not picking them back up?”

    “I’m afraid not. I didn’t know what order they went in, nor do I even have the dexterity for that task.”

    “Ah, fair enough. I’ll just have to put them away now.”

    Nelvana headed over to the scattered drawings, Keahi watching her with a slightly disappointed look, but she turned back to her own task. Alex took note of this, and decided to sit in the kitchen instead, to keep the torchic company for the moment. Nelvana began sliding all the papers closer together, stacking those in the order they were drawn instead of by content. Fortunately, she had had the foresight to date most of them, making the reorganization a simple task. Curious, Ceebee fluttered back over to her friend to see what she could to do help, and also just to look through the art herself.

    “Hey Nel, these are really good! It’s nice to see you’ve still been drawing!” Ceebee exclaimed, handing Nelvana some of the papers she had scooped up from the other end of the room.

    “Yeah, she’s really good!” Keahi chimed in from the other room. “I got some papers and pencils for her to go with the other activities we had bought, and she’s been drawing up a storm!”

    “Oh no, guys…” Nelvana squeaked, trying to bury her face into her scarf in a fluster.

    Alex laughed, “and you still can’t accept a compliment about that!” he teased.

    “But it is good art! What’s wrong with that?” Edgar questioned innocently.

    Nelvana only let out a huff in response, finishing up with putting all the papers back where they were before on the bookshelf. She trudged back over to Keahi and leaned her head onto the torchic again.

    “Your art is good though,” Keahi whispered.

    “…thanks,” Nelvana finally replied.

    With the meal that Kangaskhan had brought in earlier now being warmed up again, they gathered some plates and utensils so that they could dig right in. There had been some snacks that had been served at the celebration they had just been to, but it was refreshing to eat a larger meal together again. They were still lacking a side dish, or any desserts, but it was still a fuller meal than anything else they had had for a few hours. Everyone could easily agree that Kangaskhan was a good cook, and that they’d have to thank her for bringing this to them.

    It only felt fitting that they would go play some board games when they were done eating. Many of the team had played most of the games several times by now, but with two other teammates, it made the experience feel new all over again. In the moment, they could enjoy just being with each other and bond, letting the pain from before fade away with happier times together.

    Finally though, after many hours of continuously finding new things to do and fun ways to interact with one another, the night darkened the world, and the yawning of various team members told everyone that they would have to go rest soon.

    They packed all that they had taken out away, and headed upstairs. Ceebee lacked a bed, but this issue was quickly resolved with the offer to sleep in the hammock with Alex. Tsuki and Edgar once again wouldn’t be able to actually sleep like the others, but would find themselves much happier with the silence this time, with the presences of their friends there to sooth any nerves. Nelvana went in her nest, and Keahi went in her’s.

    Keahi, who had forgotten to tell the news after such a fast day filled with ups and downs, announced what Gardevoir had told her, about the low chance of being able to speak through the dream space together again. Even though many of the group, such as Tsuki and Alex, hadn’t even seen Gardevoir, much less spoken to her, they all felt the sadness of this long-distance friendship not working out in the end. Regardless, there was always the hope, always the maybe, that they could fix things. However, they also all knew that if they were to take that chance, it would have to be saved for a later date.

    Slowly, after much more tired chatter, those that could ended up drifting off to sleep.

    Nelvana woke up a couple hours later, the images of a fading nightmare still swarming her mind as she jolted awake. This had been the clearest memory nightmare in a long time, and of course, it had scared her more than usual. It was evident that the fear of disappearing or just losing her friends was plaguing her mind, and it had wormed her way into her subconscious.

    Used to the scare though, she began taking deep breaths to try to calm herself down enough to go back to sleep. She paused, as she realized that there was something warm in her nest now. Lifting up the blanket she was tangled under, she saw Keahi curled up next to her. The torchic must have snuck in somehow without the cubone noticing, probably too caught up in her own nightmare to notice her partner nestle up with her.

    A small smile stretched across Nelvana’s face, and she gently ruffled Keahi’s feathers. She lowered the blanket again, and snuggled up next to her friend, the nightmare already put at the back of her mind.

    She was safe, they all were safe. They were all happy, together.

    And if she glanced outside the window before drifting asleep again, she could see the galaxies above in the night sky.

alright gamers here’s some #thoughts on a heroes/pokemon crossover (under a readmore because it’s a very long list. Like, you would not believe how much nonsense I have to say on this topic)

The voiceovers at the beginnings and endings of many episodes are about Pokémon evolution, how it differs from regular evolution, and so on

That being said, Mohinder is a Pokémon professor who specializes in studying evolution

Peter works in a Pokémon centre

Nathan is a member of the Unova Elite Four

Hiro and Ando work at Silph Co.

Instead of having a teddy bear collection, Claire has a Stufful she got from her father. It’s her favourite Pokémon

Whenever somebody uses their powers, it’s basically like a Pokémon move (“Peter used Mirror Move”, “Claire used Recover”, “Matt used Mind Reader”, etc.); they can run out of Power Points

“When destiny calls… you answer your Pokégear!”

The Company is actually a branch of Team Plasma (Plasma rather than any other evil team because Unova= America) and since “specials” can use Pokémon moves, the Company sees them as closer to Pokémon than humans and therefore want to “liberate” them from society

Arthur Petrelli’s power does extend to actual Pokémon moves as well; he used to have a job as a move deleter

The formula from volume three is basically a TM

When Peter jumps off the roof in season one, Nathan claims it was his Pidgoet that rescued him, not Nathan himself. However, Peter knows better because Nathan’s Pidgeot is currently at the Pokémon daycare

Actually, the way a lot of “specials” keep their powers a secret is by attributing their abilities to their Pokémon. For instance, Matt claims his Growlithe sniffed out Molly Walker when in fact he used Mind Reader

A surefire way to tell whether it’s Niki or Jessica: Niki has a Clefable; Jessica has a Gengar

The climax of season four takes place in Nimbasa City (since there’s a ferris wheel there)

Instead of fixing watches, Sylar used to work at a Pokéball factory

Rather than Mirror Move like Peter, Monica Dawson’s ability is more like Assist; she can only use moves that belong to the Pokémon on her team

Speaking of which, Peter can borrow moves from actual Pokémon as well. Sylar can’t, but on the upside, he isn’t limited by having only four move slots

*Paints Castelia City exploding* Isaac used Future Sight! Isaac foresaw an attack!

Since it doesn’t make as much sense for Daphne to call Hiro “Pikachu” if they’re in the Pokémon world, she instead calls him a twerp, a la Team Rocket from the anime

Matt’s turtle is a Tirtouga that he resurrected from a fossil which he found while wandering around in the desert

Mr. Muggles is a Lillipup; Sandra Bennet used to enter him in Pokémon contests 

The Company uses a special kind of Pokéball called a Company Ball that’s not actually any different from a regular Pokéball but is black with a gold “Godsend” kanji on the front. In season one, Hiro thought he had to catch a Pokémon using a Company Ball in order to access his powers

Claire goes to the trainers’ school in Striaton City

Instead of the cello, Emma plays the Pokéflute

Tracy started out running an Ice-type gym but after season three she changed it to a Water-type gym

When the Company locks away a special, they confiscate their Pokémon as well and have them stored indefinitely in PC boxes. After the breakout in volume three, a couple main characters end up with Pokémon formerly belonging to these individuals—Peter ends up putting Jesse’s Loudred on his team, although it’s rather uncooperative and he eventually releases it

In season one, when Claire recorded herself trying to hurt herself & healing, she used a VS Recorder to do it. Normally a VS Recorder only records Pokémon, but since she was using a move (Recover) the VS Recorder registered it as a battle taking place

On a related note, Noah was able to track Sylar using a modified version of the Pokéfinder

Rather than finding Nathan’s body, Peter finds out about the whole “Sythan” ordeal because he finds a Yamask whose mask resembles Nathan’s face

Rather than accidentally shooting her, Peter and Isaac get into a Pokémon battle and Simone gets caught between energy blasts like Ash in Pokémon: The First Movie (but without the magic tears of life)

When Hiro is in the Feudal Era, Adam and Yaeko are amazed by the fact Hiro has a Pokémon team—Pokéballs didn’t exist back then

Micah uses his power to instantly fill out his Pokédex. He uses this information so he’ll be prepared for any rivals he comes across

Instead of torturing Sylar with a tuning fork, Mohinder tells his Minccino to use Echoed Voice. It’s super effective!

Noah isn‘t a trainer, but he borrows Pokémon from the Company to battle with when necessary

Claire has a Secret Base where she keeps all the Pokédolls Noah gets her. In later seasons, she spends a lot more time hiding away in it

Nathan, being a Gym Leader, is very much a competitive battler; he’ll disregard any Pokémon with poor IVs

Linderman is the boss of Team Rocket; if Niki doesn’t fully repay him, he’ll steal all her and her family’s Pokémon

Matt’s dad was one of the developers of the Entralink (because dreams)

At one point or another Hiro definitely teleports to the Ilex Forest and catches a Celebi

Tracy works at Pokéstar Studios

The formula Mohinder concocts in season 3 has the same properties as the Dubious Disk. He tests it on his Porygon-2, which evolves into Porygon-Z, and he takes this as a good sign

Remember that one time in the anime when Ash got turned into a Pikachu? That’s what Arthur Petrelli does to Hiro instead of scrambling his brain

Noah wants to keep Claire from having Pokémon battles–“why can’t you be a coordinator like your mother?”–but this only encourages her to train her team harder

When Meredith shows up with her level 85 Rapidash and level 87 Flareon, it’s a bit of a wake-up call for Claire: even if she constantly uses healing items on her team, they’ll keep taking damage from a burn affliction

Instead of just a bunch of pigeons (or Pidove) on the Deveaux building, it’s the location of the Pokémon daycare. Even though they’re not affiliated with the Pokémon centre, Peter still loves going up there to play with the Pokémon

The wall in the episode The Wall is UB-Wall; the episode ends when Peter and Sylar can defeat it in a double battle

Niki has a Kangaskhan that she spends most of season 1 thinking she doesn’t have the power to Mega Evolve, but in the finale she succeeds and fights side-by-side with Micah, who commands the baby Kangaskhan

Peter has a Rockruff that eventually evolves into a Midday Lycanroc. However, in every “bad” future, it’s instead in the Midnight form

During the early days of the study of specials, scientists tried to do things like capture them in Pokéballs

That being said, the corrupt desert camp in the 60s was branded as a Safari Zone

Isaac thinks he can only use Future Sight when he’s holding a Toxic Orb

The Burnt Toast Cafe is a Malasada shop (I guess that means Hiro is basically Hau? Accurate tbh)

From season three onwards, Micah has a Cubone on his team

Molly uses her power to find where wild Pokémon are hiding in the tall grass and avoid walking there

People who work for the Company or are prisoners of them aren’t allowed to have Pokémon, but Elle trains an Electabuzz in secret. When she and Sylar get together, she trades it to him in exchange for a Jolteon, and it evolves into Electivire

A lot of the side characters and characters without powers aren’t trainers. Ando doesn’t have any Pokémon of his own until the end of volume three, when he catches a Plusle that he uses to aid Hiro in double battles

In the Five Years Gone future, Niki has a Phantump on her team. Make of that what you will…

Throughout season one, Claire is reluctant to let her Pokémon evolve. At the start of season two, we see that she has evolved her Stufful into a Bewear and her Buneary into Lopunny

The first Pokémon Hiro ever caught was an Abra, which he never evolves (although it is evolved in the Five Years Gone future). In volume five, when he goes back in time to three years ago he trades it to Charlie. When he sees her as an old woman at the end of the show, she still has it, now as a Kadabra. She trades it back to him and it evolves into Alakazam

When one character dies, another will generally adopt their Pokémon. Peter puts Isaac’s Smeargle on his team, and later Nathan’s Unfezant; Matt keeps Daphne’s Accelgor and Crobat on his team; Meredith gives Claire her Torchic before she explodes; etc.

Tracy’ team is mostly ice and/or water-type, but her oldest Pokémon is a Wigglytuff that she doesn’t use in battle much, only as a companion

Bonus: everyone’s Pokémon teams at the start of the show and by the end

START:

Peter: Chansey, Eevee, Rockruff

Claire: Oricorio, Stufful, Buneary

Will’S RP PLOTTING CHEAT-SHEET

Want new-and-exciting plots for your character? Long to reach out to more of your followers, but don’t know where to start? Fear not! Fill out this form and give your RP partners both present and future all the of juicy jumping off points they need to help you get your characters acquainted.

Be sure to tag the players whose characters YOU want more cues to interact with, and repost, don’t reblog! Feel free to add or remove sections as you see fit. Template here.

Mun name: Kusa OOC Contact: IM (or like my starter call and I’ll message you), Discord (on ask/request)

Who the heck is my muse anyway:

Newest member of the Indigo E4. Magician on the side/for funz. Secret phantom thief. Disaster magnet. A fucking nerdlet.

Points of interest:

Appearance: It ain’t Will if he ain’t wearing his mask/dressing like he’s going to a costume party. Pretty tall and fit with a naturally curvy figure. Couldn’t bench press a large stick. Very fair skin that burns easily. The lilac blue color of his eyes can be seen faintly through the whites of his mask upon close inspection.

The First Elite: He’s the first Elite Johtonians/Kantonians face, and is thus the weakest of the 4 + Lance. However, he is also weaker than both the 8th Gym Leaders of the Indigo League (Clair & Green) when they choose to fight at full power. This power discrepancy makes him feel a need to constantly reaffirm (be it to himself or others) his worthiness of being an Elite.

Budding Psychic Master: His skill with Psychic types is enough that he has already been granted the title of Master in his Type, and he already has secretly unlocked a lot of his own brand of destructive Psychic powers. Talented as he is, he still has a long way to go to perfect his skill and lots more potential to realize.

Secret Identities: A runaway whose village was wiped off the map to make room for Johto’s Safari Zone. A phantom thief that uses his psychic powers to steal and expose evidence of corrupt, untouchable criminals. An unknowing descendant of a dead clan of Psychics. And many more. Tl;dr: He is never who he appears to be to most people.

What they’ve been up to recently:

By default, Will is always looking for new ways to further improve both his powers and his Trainer skills. And by night he is trying to find and expose those criminals that have ascended above the law, though that same law is still trying to hunt him down. In his free time, he continues his hobby of treasure hunting and exploring, always excited about the possibility of finding new Pokemon, items, or adventures. Due to his job as an Elite (and the first Elite at that), he doesn’t have nearly as much free time as he used to.

Soon, once his thread with Sabrina is underway, he’ll also take an interest in discovering the secrets of the dead clan he apparently descends from.

Where to find them:

Indigo Plateau: It’s his workplace, so he kinda has to be there most of the time. All Trainers are guaranteed to meet and fight Will, so he gets to meet lots of new people daily. Since he is the one of the E4 that fights the most Trainers, you can also often catch him in the Plateau’s Pokemon Center.

Johto/Kanto: Will can be found anywhere in Johto/Kanto, whether it be on business from the League to take care of some issue or just to explore. He especially loves to explore the Lake of Rage/Mahogany Town area during peak rainy/flood season.

Whirl Islands: Will frequents the depths of Whirl Islands in order to pay respect to its resident Legendary, Lugia. He has never seen the bird himself, but he is able to sense its presence at the bottom of the ocean. He relates to the stories of Lugia’s alienating power and losing its home and literally just wants to give it some kind of company. He doesn’t really do anything while he’s here. He just sits quietly, thinks, stares down at the waterfall, etc.

Literally ANYWHERE: Will, thanks to Xatu, can Teleport anywhere in the world he’s visited, which as a former world traveller is a lot. Anywhere he hasn’t visited, he usually can just Teleport near its general location and walk/fly there. As a naturally curious explorer, he’ll especially gravitate towards mysterious areas (eg Solaceon Ruins) or places that offer new experiences (eg a new Cafe in Kalos or a festival going on in Unova).

Current plans:

I got something set up with fireredrules’ Red with some hijinks regarding one of Will’s little phantom thief operations gone wrong.

I also have something set up with infragments’ Sabrina regarding Will exploring his clan ancestry with her.

And I also have a fun FE AU verse thread going on with tulog’s Caitlin.

And then systematrical’s Gold is having a doodle fight with Will.

I may be forgetting someone so if I am then I’m sorry and I’m not purposely leaving anybody off this!

Desired interactions:

Wishlist is here

In addition to that, I’d say I’m up for misadventure-type threads, threads where he meets new people and maybe is able to help them in some way (or vice versa), and anything exploring the weird or the mythical or the mysterious, etc. Will is very aware that there is a lot of spoopy and inexplicable stuff out there, and outside Ghosts, he’s very curious about it. It also allows for great fun with going wild with hc’s!

In general, he needs more close friends, as in friends who actually know some of his secrets and can help him out with just a thoughtful ear. I’d also love for him to hang out with other League members (any region but especially Johto & Kanto). He also does have his personal issues regarding his perceived inadequacy as an Elite, some personal fears regarding his powers, etc. that I’ve been wanting to rp. Though, those would take more build up.

If you have an idea for something tho, feel free to throw it at me in an OOC ask or IM! Even if we can’t come up with a plot, I’m always game for throwing hc’s around for good fun.

Offered interactions:

Well, as a friendly explorer-type, Will can often be found anywhere that’s needed. So he can always bump into anybody and let whatever whirlwind the other muse is caught up in sweep em both up.

Also, if you feel like making them go on any kind of adventure, supernatural hijinks or no, that’s kind of Will’s thing. He can very easily sweep people up into his OWN shenanigans, which often involve anything from strange ruins to mishaps with his own Psychic powers.

Finally, he does have a vigilante alter ego. He can prove to either be a formidable foe to muses that come up against him, or he can maybe get mixed up with a civilian in some silly mistake he didn’t mean to. It’d really all depend on the muse and what you want. He’s decently flexible.

Current open post/s:

N/A (I suck at opens)

Anything else?:

Can’t think of much else to add rn that isn’t covered in my rules or about, so, yeah. As always, anybody who wishes to interact can like my starter call (which is really more of a plotting call since I can’t write starters without plotting) or IM me!
