🌸 ███   ＂WELL, WHAT A SHAME FOR you because i’m not very smart !＂ admittedly, there was a bit of a pause after that statement. a near instant regret at the particular wording of her reply. a clearing of her throat & a spin on her heel. maybe if she turned away to look at the dusty book shelves her fumble would seem more natural & less--- well, idiotic. ＂ if you know so much as to what’s going on why not enlighten me so i can make a better judgement ! ignorance only breeds ignorance y’know. ＂

taking a moment to isolate the paldea era verse summary & expand a bit on it. considering that its going to be the most relevant verse for the moment considering. i will go into a bit of vague spoilers below, but the summary in quote is spoiler free.

dialga finds itself irritable, upset, & even sick--- a sign of time distortion forced by human hand somewhere in the world. as shea cares for her sibling her worries for their health & well being grows as dialga shows signs of it’s primal rage returning in it’s mysterious illness. asking the trio of the lake to stand & care for the deity of time as shea travels outside of sinnoh toward the paldea region after consulting with giratina if there are any distortions in the world outside of their own. in paldea she learns of a giant crater in the region’s center known as area zero that is forbidden to enter under any circumstance. convinced what lies there holds the answer to dialga’s sickness she decides to do a bit of recon, pretending to be a student of the famous naranja/uva academy( the default will be uva bc i like the color purple however this will fluctuate depending on the writing partner’s chosen/preferred school ) she sets off during the treasure hunt to find clues as to what could have happened in area zero & a way inside to confront professors turo & sada, those very clearly linked to the time-sickness effecting dialga. **this verse contains an original story based on shea’s lore & the events of the game.

all in all shea’s mission is to investigate the strange temporal happenings in paldea as the time distortions are causing ruptures in spacetime. for the moment only dialga is being effected & it’s causing them to be seriously ill & act irrationally almost to the point of anger or as if they are in pain. because of the manipulation of time outside of dialga’s control it holds a negative effect on them, giving them this space-time illness. its as if every time the time machine is used; it pulls from dialga in a way. however at current in this verse palkia has yet to show signs of any irritation or sickness, but if nothing is done about the connection to the creation trio, palkia is sure to star suffering the effects & then soon giratina.

it’s not just the deities being ill that is the issue-- if dialga keeps growing ill & angry, it’s likely they will become agitated to the point where they may enter a primal state( seen in PMD ) which could cause them to lash out & in doing so time itself will warp & endanger humanity which would set in motion the chain of events similar to times before where the deities of space & time had to be restrained. palkia would no doubt attack dialga in a effort to calm dialga down, giratina stepping in to try & control the two & thus history repeats.

for the time being however, shea is masquerading as a student in the academy & investigating both the current events that span the games, but the past as well--- the former researchers that went down to the crater & their discoveries. how does the difference in the time distortions then vs the ones now effect not only dialga but paldea as a whole, what changed & who is responsible. because of this she’s trying to hunt down the professors but also anyone who’ve worked with them in the past or current day.

@koraichalcum​ asked:   If her journey lead her to the time upset in Paldea it'd eventually lead to a jarring paradox nearly three times her size and angry. Very angry. It was an old god of the mesozoic; deep red in color and powerful enough that its thrashing tail splintered a boulder with an annoyed flick. The sail of plumage alert on the Apex's crown and body was a warning while he sun-bathed on the crater's stony outside wall:

 Get closer and you're next.

🌸 ███   YOU AREN’T MEANT TO BE here. an instant thought as she spots the beast. it’s still & so she too grows, moving to sit where she stands. observing, curious. an eyebrow perks up keeping note of the warning. alpha. no way to tell if this koraidon was truly the leader of it’s pack or just allowed to flourish outside its natural habitat. && time. the key there. in any case, she knew alphas well. knew what to do & what not to do. she was no threat, just a passerby. trying to dodge any of the security patrols to take a gander at the crater. if she could get inside.

                    eyes shift to look at the beasts, then quickly shift away. a common gesture, the flick of the eyes. i see you & i mean no harm to your space, friendly on my end. a bow of sorts. slow her hands are, reaching to her bag. each motion done very slowly so the beast can observe. the hope that transparency would be key into not alarming the other. once the bag is grabbed its opened & she holds it in a way that would semi show the inside, grabbing from within a wrapped parcel. her lunch, but now an offering. unwrapping to showcase a hearty wrap: meats, vegs, sauce.

                    moving then, still as slow, to place it on a rock next to the one she sits on only to after slowly shift away in a straight line( or as best could ) away from the sandwich. just a bit, a few feet. to give the perceived area of personal space based on where she had been & where koriadon was some distance so she didn’t encroach. once she was far enough, she settles. waits. sitting calmly & keeping still.

🌸 ███   THE STAKES HAD BEEN HER first tip that something was off about the area. she’d seen a few of these before. scattered across paldea as she traveled, sniffing about during her investigations around the crater. that one teacher at the school, raifort, spoke heavily to a student about various shrines in the region. shea avoided her as much as she could--- no good would come from the resident history teacher learning that a breathing being of history was walking the academy halls.

                    but as shea had moved through the south providence she noted that quite a number of the stakes had been missing. chalking it up to curious students off on their treasure hunt. examining one that hadn’t crumbled completely, it was most certainly yanked from the ground without much care. && that irked her beyond reason. those shrines, those seals. she could feel the energy ruminating from their directions & if the seals were broken... then that could be a problem.

                    so she had taken off toward the grasswither shrine. sliding down the hill & jogging to a stop once she saw the pieces of once glowing purple iron of the seal door on the ground. a pause, ＂ hello ?＂ the words are spoken in the holy language of arceus. if there was a pokemon behind this door as she surmised, then it would no doubt understand her. but just in case she would follow in the common of the area, ＂ ---anyone there ?＂   / @tabletbound​

🌸 ███   CAMPING ! SHE WAS AN EXPERT at camping. oh & how ! many nights spent under starry skies & cool temperatures. nature is where shea felt most comfortable. at peace with the world as it spins, the universe none the wiser of her or any other creature as there is a lull for slumber. for nocturnal creatures to prowl. humans to come home to their loved ones, to rest. recover.

                    camping felt natural. perhaps it was because it was the first thing she had learned to do back when she was first walking the world during the time of hisui. both alongside her fellows in the galaxy corps & by herself on long excursions. even with modern day providing it’s own solutions with hotels, motels. inns & the lot--- she rarely found herself avoiding a camping trip, even if it was just her in between travel of town to town.

                    however, she wasn’t exactly invited on this trip. but who was really counting. perhaps arven was, but shea wasn’t paying any mind if he cared for the company or not. she was busy looking for a perfect spot for their tents. rushing over to a nice clearing & spinning the moment she touches the center. ＂ here ! here ! arven over here !＂   / @arvend​

PALDEA VERSE SPECIFIC;   shea’s room at the academy is very clean, but somewhat cluttered like penny’s but with plants, books, & tea. she has two tea cabinets, one is a set of drawers the other is a bit larger and has a space for tea prep ala a tea bar. several different types of tea pots & cups are all over the kitchen along with growing herbs or drying leaves. a bookshelf is near the bed & it’s filled with stolen books from the school as well as various book stores in paldea, the majority of the books are about the region it’s history & some comics. there are empty snack boxes & bags tossed in a trash can near the bed as well as a second one on the desk which is also covered in plants but also a very old semi broken computer terminal that her rotom uses as a second home outside her phone. also on her desk is crafting supplies as she still makes her own poke balls. there are several shaymin that have decided to sneak their way into paldea with shea & they chill in the plants or her bed. since things tend to bloom or grow near her, there is a lot of flower arrangements or cut flowers she tries to give away or transplant outside. the room is very fragrant & people think she wants to be a florist. there is also a pepe silvia style investigation board with pictures, string, notes stuck on etc about the crater & area zero on the wall.

@arvend​ asked: There's a container left for her... full of potato mochi! Homemade and everything! Clearly, there was a lot of care put into making them, too. Maybe they won't be like they were at home, but he tried all the same.

It was my first time making something like this. I hope it turned out good! Let me know!

P.S. Stop stealing my food!!! - Arven

🌸 ███   ' you know what i miss the most ? it’s silly but there was this food we always had at the end of a successful mission--- it was potato mochi ! haha, i can’t get it right though when i try to make it. ‘

                    she’s rubbing her eyes, opening the door to her dormroom. staying put during this winter break at the academy as she has no where else to go. even as she is only posing as a student, she does well to follow some of the rules. this being one of them. being accounted for during a break. slept the whole morning away until a knock at her door causes her to stir. a shaymin, one of the many who snuck with her to paldea, jumps on her head for her to actually get up & with a grumble she moves over to answer the door; but none but the container was there instead.

                    it takes her a moment. to recall that little conversation. absentmindedly mentioning that nostalgic meal beni used to make. oh how she hated that guy, or loved to hate him. as much as her little jests & terrors were at the time now all she could do was recall that she missed even him as well. especially sitting around with akari & rei as they ate platefuls of these fried foods. watching the people of jubilife village pass by, laughing about who knows what. never got the recipe from beni & no matter how she tried she couldn’t get them right. no place she ordered them from got them right either.

                    a careful hand opens the container & sure enough there they were. she almost doesn’t want to take a bite, but once she picks up one & puts it to her mouth she realizes she’s crying. surprise hits her as she feels the sting of salt, of wet on her cheeks. chewing as she starts to sniffle, a hand moving to rub at her eyes.

                    they do not taste the same---- && it’s better that way, because these are made by arven. something nostalgic, something new. a new memory, a new person in her life she cares about. && that makes them perfect. a new memory to miss when he is gone & that is special to her.

                    she finishes finally & replaces the lid, turning to go inside to place the container on the kitchen counter. shooing away the shaymin that sniff & sass about wanting a bite. but she’s busy, dashing right back to the door. slippers on & turning the corner rushing towards arven’s room. finally she catches him right before he enters his dorm & she collides into him. like hitting a wall really but her arms outstretched arms at the last moment now wrap about him in a tight hug.

                    she’s silent for a moment but it’s easy to see she’s thankful for the gift, grateful. eventually she pulls away & then punches his arm weakly with a final sniffle of which quickly turns into a burst of laughter. ＂ you stupid ! you can’t just leave those & not have some with me ! that’s the whole point !＂

                    a wave for him to follow. no doubt planning a afternoon of delicious food & stories. warm memories to be added to a long list of cherished times.

🌸 ███   IT’S ALMOST AS IF SHE materialized out of thin air, right behind the bench. in truth she just snuck up behind it & stood up, leaning to the side to better loom over the man’s shoulder & stare directly at his meal. food costs money, which is something she doesn’t particularly have a lot of now. so this is the best she can do. looking at this poor man’s meal with the biggest, cutest, puppy-dog eyes she can muster. blinking very innocently a few times, oh & a smile ! she’s adorable--- this can’t go wrong.   / @fakade​ shes ur problem now

🌸 ███   QUIZZICAL SHE SEEMS, HEAD TILTED as she examines the carved statue in the likeness of a sunflora. the pokemon of aforementioned muse gathers at her feet, chirping & fussing about as if wanting her answer on how she felt about the piece before them. beautiful & finely crafted, each stroke of carved marble clearly filled with the emotion of whom struck against it---- the sorrowful expression a small twist of agony, each statue differing slightly so from the one before it.

                    she kneels down, finally, turning to the various sunflora as she speaks, ＂ i mean, they do say art is subjective. it’s meaning is different to everyone y’know, but i can’t help feel a bit worried when i look at ‘em. it’s unlike a sunflora to cast it’s gaze away from the sun, so something must have bothered the artist deep down despite being surrounded by the light of those around them ! it’s symbolic ! ....right ?＂  / @grassius​

VERSE DUMP 02;   here listed are the verses that are intricately tied to the mainline games spanning gen 1 to gen 9. these are short descriptions for each gen for the ease of interaction & summary of the events within & shea’s association with each. certain games will have a more in-depth verse post at a later date, such as gen 4. by default, shea masquerades as a human child & a traveler unless her origins are revealed by herself or against her will by those connected to cyrus or volo. for the most part, shea acts on the behalf of arceus to check & care for the various legendary & mystical pokemon throughout the regions. her priority will always be the safety of said pokemon. unlike her sinnoh kin, however, she is not directly related to the mythical & legendary pokemon in the other regions.

#MAIN. ( GENERATION KANTO. / ARC VI. )

a boon from the creator themselves, arceus; shea travels to the kanto region feeling unease about their fellow mythical mew. a creature that hadn’t been seen for centuries, being sighted & even worse pursued. shea arrives sometime before the events of the game & keeps themselves hidden as she researches the destruction of the lab on cinnabar island. after word reaches that a young trainer has been taking down members of team rocket, shea decides to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong hoping that this young trainer will lead them to mew--- discovering the origins of mewtwo.

#MAIN. ( GENERATION JOHTO. / ARC VII. )

on her way back toward her home within the sinnoh region, shea travels through johto & finds herself once again wrapped up in someone else’s business. meeting crystal & finding herself in quite the dilemma for if this young trainer found out about shea’s origins--- well, she’d be trapped in a professors lab for sure ! fortunately the return of team rocket in search of their fearless leader tends to put priority on matters as regions legendaries wake up causing shea to rush to their aid as one of their own. this verse is highly influenced by @starmarkcd @unmcsked & @gxldenstreak who are canon to shea as the trainers; Crys / Silver / Gold respectfully. 

#MAIN. ( GENERATION HOENN. / ARC VIII. )

once more shea travels to a region outside her own, this time in peril as a sixth sense compels her to rush to hoenn in time for team aqua & team magma to purposefully disturb the rest of both kyogre & groudon. joining the young trainer(s) climbing the rank of the gym challenge of the region, she aims to calm down the legendary titans who helped formed the earth & sea before it’s too late--- && find those responsible to deal with them before it’s too late, for no doubt the sky dragon is soon to approach.

#MAIN. ( GENERATION SINNOH. / ARC IX. )

sinnoh, the home of shea & her brethren. no longer called the hisui region--- shea lives primarily in the flower paradise with the other shaymin. however her ancient adventures have left a impact that she has yet to understand the gravity of. the people of sinnoh speak in their legends of a child of space & time that transcends dimensions, capable of controlling the legendary beasts of creation. while the reality is far from; shea a child born from arceus themselves the myth remains drawing the attention of two major players within sinnoh: cynthia, a celestial descendant of volo, & cyrus. no fool, cyrus is quicker to unravel the truth about this ‘child of space time’ & moves toward the flower paradise with a red chain in tow to capture shea & use her to summon the creation trio so that he may use them to create his new world.... **this verse will have an expanded post of which will be linked here when finished.

#MAIN. ( GENERATION UNOVA. / ARC X. )

finding the news of an organization that promotes releasing one’s pokemon from human “servitude” shea travels to the unova region, discovering team plasma roaming the various cities. worried for the twin dragons she travels toward the relic castle to find it empty.

xerneas & shea are no stranger to each other; as shaymin are often found near the tree of life, the beastie itself visiting the flower paradise within sinnoh at times. it is in fact a visit from shea to the forests of kalos of which starts their journey into worry for her friend & it’s counterpart. however shea only finds a collection of zygarde cells & cores, tipping her off to a much bigger problem at hand. knowing exactly who to turn to for help, shea seeks out the descendant of a old friend in the form of serena, a young trainer who’s destiny is intertwined with the legendaries of life & death.  this verse is highly influenced by @iruludavare

#MAIN. ( GENERATION ALOLA. / ARC XII. )

alola ! shea decides she wants to see the ocean. a different ocean than one near the flower paradise & with a hankering for some malasadas--- of she goes to the island region ! however midway into her little adventure she runs into scientists of the aether foundation, who’s various scientific instruments out shea’s origins as a human-pokemon chimera & capture her to bring her to the president herself; lusamine. narrowly escaping being contained to be “protected” shea spends her time thereafter running from aether workers tasked on retrieving her.

#MAIN. ( GENERATION GALAR. / ARC XIII. ) 

the slumbering weald is home to the heroes of the darkest day & sometimes it is visited by a wandering shea; visiting to help shaymin bring the change of seasons to the forest & care for the altar where the heroes rest. however on one journey out to the weald she notices the absence of the hero duo & turns her attention outside the weald curious as to what caused the beasties to stir from their slumber & if there is a new threat to the world on the horizon.
