Pokemon Next Gen (Ranch Helpers): Helia Akagi

Helia is the daughter of Cyrus and Mars. Sometime before Cyrus would put his plan into action, he called Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter to his office and wanted Mars and Jupiter to carry his children so that in case his plan fails his offspring would carry out his plan. What they didn’t count on was the fact that all three kids didn’t seem to be interested in carrying out Cyrus’ vision of a perfect world and would rather spend their time as normal kids. It wasn’t until the three of them met Chetari and Hestia and they also became part of Chetari’s ranch. Helia is the youngest of the Galactic siblings, but she’s the most composed of the three of them and she’s very proud of herself and her integrity, much like her mother. Like her father, she’s very good at manipulating others to doing what she wants or believing anything she says, she only uses her manipulation skills to lead others away from the ranch if she sees that they’re trying to bring harm to the ranch. Like Janus, Helia also knows a lot about tactical battles but she’s more stealthy and often shows others how to be just as stealthy during a fight and will weaken the front line until one person is left standing. Along with Janus, she’s known as the commander of the ranch protection squad. Unlike her mother and Arche’s mother, she gets along with her half-brother and she wonders why their mothers have such a strong dislike for one another.

Her Pokemon:

Glameow- Glameow is the daughter of Mars’ Purugly. Unlike her mother, Glameow isn’t as cranky or violent, instead, she’s sweet and loves to be pampered by Helia but she’s still ready to fight against someone if Helia tells her to battle. Glameow mostly relies on her charm and looks to get other Pokemon to lower their guard so she can attack them. Glameow is loyal and she’s affectionate towards everyone around her, though a lot of her affection goes to her trainer as she always rubs herself against Helia’s legs. Glameow can be very picky when it comes to trying something new and she isn’t very keen on being with someone that challenged her. Despite that, she’s very graceful while she’s battling which serves as a good distraction and makes it easy for her to attack her opponents. Glameow has a sibling-like bond with Janus’ Croagunk and Arche’s Stunky, the three of them always hang out together and they work perfectly together if they happen to be battling against someone. Glameow wears a pink scarf around her neck and is often seen outside of her Pokeball.

Caught in a Pokeball.

Ability is Keen Eye.

Moves are Return, Play Rough, Assist, Attract, Charm, Feint Attack, Captivate, Hone Claws, Fake Tears, and Swift.

Crobat- Helia caught her Croabat when he was a Zubat. Finding Zubat to be rather cute she started training him right away and when he evolved into a Golbat he would continue to train while also getting close to his trainer, which caused him to evolve into a Crobat. As a Zubat, Crobat was pretty mild but he was also a bit of a night owl, preferring to be in the dark than be in the sun. Over time he had gotten used to being in the sun. When he was Golbat, he had fully gotten used to being in the sun and was comfortable being around others but he would mostly prefer to be by himself instead of spending time with other Pokemon. Now as a Crobat, he finds himself enjoying spending time with his trainer and he’s okay with helping her and her half-siblings and it’s thanks to his ability to fly silently without being noticed that he can attack his opponents and drain their blood before they even notice that he attacked them. He listens to the commands of Helia as well as her half-siblings without issue.

Caught in a Dusk Ball.

Ability is Inner Focus.

Moves are Cross Poison, Air Slash, Confuse Ray, Aerial Ace, Quick Attack, Steel Wing, Leech Life, Poison Fang, Swift, and Double Team.

Persian- Helia found her Persian while she was on a walk, she saw that Persian seemed to be weak so she took him in and started caring for him. Persian stuck around even after he was better so Helia caught him. Despite Persian’s loyalty to Helia, he’s still fickle and temperamental towards any other human, being distrustful of them and not being afraid to scratch them if they get to close to him. Persian often acts as the peacemaker on the ranch, should he find any Pokemon fighting, he’ll break up the fight and keep others from hurting each other. Persian also has a crush on Chetari’s shiny Delcatty Sunset and will flirt with her any chance he gets, much to the shiny Delcatty’s embarrassment.

Caught in a Luxury Ball.

Ability is Technician.

Moves are Pay Day, Power Gem, Slash, Fake Out, Play Rough, Swift, Shadow Claw, Double Team, Headbutt, and Return.

“and they were roommates” - a pokémon IRL AU

i said i’d type this up so i’m going to whether you like it or not

basically it’s just a lot of fairly incoherent ideas about my 2 faves, team galactic and team rocket, in a kind of... mundane au? everyday au? What If Pokémon Was In Real Life au. of course evil crime syndicates very much exist in real life, but where’s the fun in that when you could just make them work in like, tech support or something

PART 2 COMING... maybe tomorrow if i manage it. by sunday, anyway.

the ultimate irl profession for giovanni, aside from like, Crime Lord, would i think be something very shady and capitalist and just about obscenely high-paid... something like investment banking. something in The City. anyway, that’s how the story begins - giovanni, charismatic and ambitious as he is, the man who ALWAYS gets what he wants, swooping down on young starters and plucking off the ones he thinks he has the most use for (though petrel was more of a pity choice). he ushers them into his sphere of influence, even giving the three young men a place to live in his house (more than big enough, being a 21st birthday gift from mummy to her beloved only child). technically they all work for the same company, but everyone knows that archer, proton and petrel really work for giovanni and giovanni alone.

after a little while giovanni finds he has a rival. her name is ariana and she has seemingly come out of nowhere, an unknown less than a year ago but rapidly earning herself a fearsome reputation. she is intensely secret about her home life, and despite her talent has no interest in picking up lackeys like giovanni does - in fact, she doesn’t seem to want to socialise at all. but giovanni is a determined young lad. he can see how valuable ariana could be to him, so he turns his charm up to previously unforeseen levels. i’m talking off the charts. he has the exact right balance of suaveness and politeness. he defends her against that good ol 80s office sexism, without being a white knight about it. he knows what he’s doing.

of course ariana doesn’t just sway to his influence easy-peasy; she has her reasons for being solitary. she and giovanni find each other equally challenging and, in a horribly heterosexual tale as old as time, things take a turn for the romantic. and once that train gets started, it doesn’t slow down. there are a lot of motivations for making things serious so quickly - giovanni for one is under STRICT orders to produce grandchildren - but the biggest is the reason behind all ariana’s secrecy in the first place.

she has a young daughter named minerva at home. the father abandoned the two of them before she was even born, and though devastated ariana pushes it down, channeling her despair into the ambition and ruthlessness needed to keep a roof over her daughter’s head (just barely, anyway. she earns half of what giovanni does for the same job, and without the family wealth to fall back on). when giovanni finds this out, or rather ekes it out of her, he’s alarmed to notice that he actually CARES. not just for ariana herself, but even somewhat for minerva. if she’s safe, it’ll make ariana happy, so in a lifetime first and last, giovanni does something purely to make someone else happy and invites them both to live with him too.

having a child in the house is difficult. only petrel is any good with children; proton shows open disgust, and archer is too busy sulking because giovanni has a new favourite person. even ariana isn’t the most naturally motherly person, and uses her new support network as a chance to focus on her career, this time with giovanni as her ally instead of a rival.

not pictured: madame boss rubbing her hands in delight over this power couple and the sort of grandchildren they’re going to produce. and produce they do, though rather sooner than planned, and necessitating a hasty wedding as lipservice to giovanni’s very lapsed catholicism. they have a son. he is named silver, after ariana. though minerva is still only a toddler, she’s able to notice that she’s being sidelined. silver, after all, is Giovanni’s Son, the rocket messiah. the family heir. minerva is more of an unfortunate footnote.

that’s not to say silver has an easy time growing up, though. the house isn’t much of a place for children, a place where money rules above all else. the adults are too busy working overtime to teach lessons of compassion and humanity (petrel tries, though he didn’t have the most solid start in life himself). and though the little giovanni-ariana-silver family is all well and good for a little while, it can’t last. giovanni happens to be an extraordinarily self-centred person, in case you couldn’t tell. he is not what you’d call ideal husband/father material. that’s not to say ariana isn’t almost as bad, too. the two get wrapped up in long arguments that are hardly even arguments as that implies listening to each other - more like competing monologues.

then - when minerva is about ten and silver eight - big shit goes down. giovanni, in a bid to finance his mother’s expensive retirement village, has embezzled tens of thousands from the company he works for. he’s actually exposed by an eleven-year-old visiting on ‘bring your kid to work day’. but to cut a long story short, it’s BAD. the other four go down with him, but giovanni has the furthest to fall, so he does what any reasonable person who’s spent his life getting everything he wants but is now faced with catastrophic failure would do - he fucks off. leaves behind ariana (though they’re now separated), silver, the whole gang, without so much as a word. the only one he doesn’t leave is his cat pierre, much to minerva’s despair.

from then on, things are catastrophic. minerva enters her teenage years neglected and sometimes treated with outright malice from the adults in her life. the ‘family’ goes into financial ruin, involving themselves in less-than-legal things to make ends meet (there might be more kosher ways of making money, but for these guys exploitation is the default setting). minerva is near-solely responsible for her brother, a difficult task as she still resents him, though it’s a long time since he’s been the favourite child. he keeps running away to try and find his father, until minerva starts to get tired of chasing him.

she has other things on her mind, anyway. she has decided she is in love. he’s older, a physics student at a nearby university who she first met when desperately enlisting him into a search for silver, back when she cared about such things. as soon as she finishes school, he will be her ticket out (or she hopes so, given they haven’t exactly talked about it yet). there’s the matter of his friends from university - jupiter, much taller and older and ruthless towards minerva, then later saturn, an earnest first-year environmental studies student. minerva may not be as clever as them, but it doesn’t matter, because she understands cyrus like they don’t, she can tell. it’s just a matter of time before she’s the only one, and he can see properly how much she cares and how devoted she is. he must care too, a little bit, because he has given her a new name - mars, the god of war.

#thank you and also sorry if you read this #team rocket #team galactic #silverspawnshipping SLIGHTLY #betelgeuseshipping that is strictly one-sided #sorry this is SO long and it's not even actual writing #au: and they were roommates #that's a tag i'm going to use if i manage to do anything with this
