{ ooc. I finished the dlc yesterday arvo so Minor Spoilers (what i Am talking about was shown in the last trailer before it dropped though) and Fun Theorising
I am aggressively eyeing the crystalised tree in area zero's depths and am back on my connection bullshit. Listen it shouldn't be there, there's no other vegetation, terapagos doesn't create energy it crystalises it
And the only legendary we know takes the form of a tree And releases a whole bunch of energy is Xerneas. That and if we want to include snap... Xerneas also is responsible for the illumina phenomenon. And canonically its energy in combination with yveltal's made mega stones. So it wouldn't surprise me if the tree in area zero is a place where xerneas went dormant once, and because it's all in a deep cave/tunnel in a massive crater, the energy it released all just... sits there, and that's what terapagos uses/recycles into tera crystals/energy.
And something something energy can't be created or destroyed which is why over the millions of years terapagos has done its thing, the energy hasnt and wont run out }

Introducing Depot Agent Krill!! They're a redesign of an old trainersona I created last year (I'll put them under the cut) and just. holy shit this was fun to draw. The formatting portion... not as much. BUT I think it worked itself into something quite nice!! Transcript:Top Text - Depot Agent Krill Bottom Text (Left) - Team: Stormy, Prince Tinks, Ebb, Opal, Ampersand, Schooner Bottom Text (Right) - Krill is a recent member of Gear Station's depot agents!! They were a former Team Plasma Grunt with their twin brother before a fight temporarily separated them, and during that separation Krill traveled between Alola, Paldea, and Lental before ending up back in Unova. They eventually picked up pokemon photography as a hobby and grew an interest in the illumina phenomenon, both of which they continue to research even after they return to Unova. Despite their complete lack of adherence to Gear Station's dress code, they still work fairly diligently in the station and try their best to cooperate (although they have the tendency to be a little bit catty.) They work in both ticket agency and subway battles.
And here's the old design + old team!!!

You know, it only just occurred to me that Noble Pokemon and Totem Pokemon are essentially the same thing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Think about it, they:
Are much larger than average
Have much higher stats than avergae
Glow with a brilliant golden energy
Received this power from a deity
I really like the idea that any Legendary pokemon (which are basically deities in their world) can bless normal pokemon as their champions.
It also makes me think about the difference between psuedo legendaries and actual Legendaries: one might be as strong as (or stronger in some cases) the other but they can't bless other pokemon with their power because they lack the divinity which would allow them to do so.
Something to think about.
Edit: I'm going to keep talking about this because I like discussing it and some commenters brought up interesting points.
Meowstix said Illumina Pokemon from Snap were worth mentioning as they didn't receive their power boosts from Legendaries. I don't think I agree with that however.
Tumblr media
Prof. Mirror hypothesized that the Illumina phenomenon originated from a comet that landed in the Lintel region. However, the mural suggests Illumina was a thing before that, which is why I believe the phenomenon originated from Xerneas, the pokemon god of life.
But even if it did originate from the comet, that doesn't mean the power did not come from a legendary.
Tumblr media
Pokemon from Sword and Shield are able to dynamax because of wishing stars: shards that came from Eternatus, a Legendary from beyond the stars. Who's to say the comet in Pokemon Snap didn't come from a Legebdary similar to Eternatus?
Zorua-adorbale also mentioned that Noble pokemon only had golden light when they were frenzied. While that is true, remember that the energy which frenzied them also came from Arceus (albeit indirectly).
That does beg the question of why Noble pokemon don't normally glow like Totem pokemon. Perhaps it's due to the fact that Noble pokemon are the descendants of the pokemon originally blessed by Arcues. If the Tapus bless their Totems individually rather than allowing the power to be passed on through blood lines, that could explain why the power is more visible with them, they are the first generation as it were.
God I love discussions like these, I so rarely get to go into lecture mode.

GRASS TYPE
Serperior (F)
Tumblr media
Percy's Serperior is a diva, there's no other way to say it. She was like this ever since she was a Snivy. She loves the spotlight, that's why she was perfect for Pokemon Contests. She let Percy catch her because she saw true elegance and grace in her. There is only one person Serperior loves in this world and that person is Percy.
Lilligant (F)
Tumblr media
Percy is very proud of her Lilligant, because she is one of the very few trainers who could coax the flower on Lilligant's head to bloom. Percy sometimes makes oil from her flowers and uses it in the lotions she makes.
Morelull (F)
Tumblr media
This little one is the daughter of Percy's Shiinotic, she is a mischievous one. She loves playing pranks on people other than her trainer.
Shiinotic (F)
Tumblr media
Percy caught Shiinotic on one of her brief visits to Alola, she was just a little Morelull at the time. She really likes gardening with her friends Lilligant, Florges, and Arboliva.
Shaymin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Percy met Shaymin while he was running from Team Rocket, she saved it from them, and for that, it stayed with her and let her catch it out of gratitude.
Shiny Whimsicott (F)
Tumblr media
Leavanny uses Whimsicott's cotton to make Percy's clothes. She is as much of a prankster as the rest of Percy's Pokemon and uses her ability to slip through cracks as a tool for it.
Apple trio (Appletun (F), Flapple (M), Applin (M))
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apple trio was actually given to Percy as Applins on valentines day, she neither returned the feelings nor the Applins. Two of them choose to evolve while one of them didn't, but they're still attached at the hip.
Decidueye (M)
Tumblr media
Percy caught him while he was still a Dartrix, she helped him get through that difficult stage of his and allowed him to reach his full strength. He never regretted choosing Percy as his trainer for that, her diligently helping him groom didn't hurt either.
Arboliva (F)
Tumblr media
Arboliva actually came with the land the old empty house Percy used to stay in when she was homeless. She moved into its garden while Percy was on her journey and when she bought the land, she caught her too for good measure.
Brambleghast (M)
Tumblr media
Percy caught him near Casseroya Lake, which she thought was weird because Brambleghasts normally live in arid regions.
Shiny Roserade (F)
Tumblr media
She was being bullied by her kind while she was a Roselia for her different colors, no trainer wanted her, all except one. To Percy, she was the most beautiful Roselia out there. She took care of her and managed to evolve her into a Roserade. Now she takes care of Percy's garden.
Shiny Eldegoss (F)
Tumblr media
Percy found Eldegoss at the Ruins of Remembrance in the Aurus Island of the Lental region. She heard from Professor Oak about this new phenomenon called Illumina and thought it would be great for her contest Pokemons.

"New Research suggests the Illumina Phenomenon from the Lental Region may be related to the Terastal Phenomenon, giving off similar energy and light but without the signature mineral effect or elemental changes. It may be a form of Terastalization that failed to reach maturity due to factors that only exist within Paldea, Kitakami and Blueberry Academy..."

Finished the storyline for Teal Mask. Not going to talk about spoilers - aside from location mentions maybe - but I'm definitely curious to see how certain things will pan out in Indigo Disk.
Instead, I am going to ramble about random bits of the lore I've been building for Araceli and some of her Pokémon. It has been a bit of a puzzle figuring out Araceli's personality separate from the game storyline, but it has been fun as well. Getting closer to a point where I'm more comfortable translating save file events into fic/lore events.
tl;dr rambling contained below the read-more.
Araceli is Paldean born, but not Paldean raised. Between the ages of six months and fifteen years she and her parents lived abroad, first in Hoenn and then Kanto. Her father is a nature photographer while her mother is a research assistant who works for both Birch and Oak. In the summer following her fifteenth birthday she learns that both of her parents were going on research expeditions. Her father will be going to the Lental Region to help Professor Mirror's team study the Illumina phenomenon. Her mother is going to the Sevii Islands to follow up on rumors of Mythical and Legendary Pokémon there. It is ultimately decided that Araceli will be sent to stay with her maternal aunt in Cabo Poco, given the uncertain timeframes of both expeditions and potential dangers therein. She is decidedly NOT HAPPY about this but fails to come up with a convincing argument to change her parents' minds. Thus she finds herself shipped back to Paldea just a few weeks before the new term starts at Naranja Academy, where she gets dragged into the game's storyline.
Some random information about her:
She initially enrolls in the Arts track at Naranja but switches over to the Sciences track following the events in Area Zero.
She has nightmares about what happened in the Zero Lab; rather than talk about them to anyone, she uses them as fuel to further her ambition to help the Paradox Pokémon in her care. Something good has to come out of the whole ordeal (besides Arven's breakthrough).
She has trouble with test taking and in-class learning. One on one tutoring sessions with her teachers are the main things keeping her academically afloat, in addition to extra credit opportunities.
The events of the DLC will be part of her lore, but there will be a two year gap between the Zero Lab incident and her visit to Kitakami. She will be spending some time in Galar during that two year gap for a semester or two of student exchange.
Tumblr media
Chase is the first shiny Araceli sees in the wild, but is not the first one she catches. He calls the ruins above Alfornada home. It is here that he and Araceli cross paths. She stumbles across him while on a field trip and attempts to capture him. He is too high level for her and ends up chasing her off instead. She finds him again a few months later. By that point she is a much better trainer. He, however, has been worn down by territorial disputes and is in rough shape. Distrustful of her at first after she battles and captures him, her efforts to nurse him back to health make him warm up to her. Now he is part of her main team and goes where she does. Anyone who dares touch a single hair on her head will find themselves on the wrong end of a Thunder Fang if he has anything to say about it.
Tumblr media
Victory is Araceli's baby and no one can tell him otherwise. Not that there are many who would argue with a Charizard. Hatched from an egg sent to her by her mother, Araceli is the only parent he has ever known. Her work was cut out for her while raising him. He was a cute but bitey little Charmander and an overeager Charmeleon prone to unintentionally setting fires. Patience and dedication built a strong bond between trainer and Pokémon, however. By the time he evolved into a Charizard he was as well behaved as you please - so long as you are Araceli. Victory is a heavy hitting member of her main team and has helped her out of many tight spots in battle. He loves a good fight and thinks nothing of going up against the likes of Titans. He is also quite the fan of napping in sunbeams and pestering his trainer for chin and head scratches.
Tumblr media
Quake is not one of her usual battling partners but is much beloved by her nonetheless. Araceli developed great fondness and sympathy for the Great Tusk while observing him in the Asado Desert. Though he was a Titan she found him to be more or less peaceful - so long as he was left alone. Despite getting close enough to him to nearly be trampled on several times he never attacked her. Battling him to get the Herba Mystica was the most difficult Titan battle simply because she felt so bad about provoking him. She captured him primarily so no one else could, fearing what might happen to him otherwise. (It caused a fight between her and Arven at the time, as he did not agree with her actions at all, saying that the Great Tusk was too dangerous. She firmly disagreed.) In the time since capturing him Araceli has put a lot of effort into making him comfortable and safer to interact with. He frequently spends time with Dida and Padma, Araceli's shiny Donphan and Copperajah, as part of their 'herd'.
Tumblr media
Kevin is another Pokémon that Araceli rarely battles with but spends a good amount of time gentling. There is little known about Kevin's species - they aren't even mentioned much in literature beyond the name Walking Wake. They have to be some kind of Paradox Pokémon but Araceli has only ever encountered Kevin, and that was while she was in a Raid den, not Area Zero. Does this mean that more Paradox Pokémon have escaped into the wilds beyond the Great Crater? It is a troubling thought. Kevin, at least, seems to be quite fond of her, which is a bit of a problem in and of itself given just how big Kevin is. She's been putting in a lot of work to make Kevin safer to be around, but there is a long way still to go.

The Cetra in the AU are Illumina Pokemon, or Pokemon that experience a strange phenomenon where intricate glowing patterns appear on their bodies. This is a manifestation of a strong connection to the Lifestream. This phenomenon occurs most in areas where the barrier between the land of the living and Lifestream is thinnest

It's so expressive and the articulation is downright spectacular. I know this was just a few days ago, however have you ever had any luck finding these? EBay scalpers are charging like $24 for a $6 determine and it is driving me crazy. I'd a lot quite buy them for cost, but that is not an choice for me, so I'd be prepared to pay someone for the difficulty of picking them up for me, but not at 4x the cost.

{ ooc. Thinking about how Snap's depiction of Xerneas implies that it (and Yveltal by extension because they're counterparts-- whatever applies to one power-wise must be true for the other) is like. An actual deity. It's not a pokemon who can control the flow of life. It's Life. The form we see in game is Literally The Embodiment Of Life but in a comprehensible form.
Like there are similarities to how Arceus is then presented in pla too in like
The ability to shift between a physical form and a ball of light (which is implied to be closer to a true form for them)
The ability to gift pokemon long-lasting/inheritable power needed to fight off a threat (Illumina phenomenon and the noble pokemon)
Whole societies dedicated to their worship as a creator/protector deity with different periods of ancient greek history aesthetic inspiration (idk if this counts but it's so neat. )
and I think it's so, so cool. On a lore level, it also explains how Xerneas and Yveltal can even exist, and how they can control life/creation and death/destruction while Arceus is a thing. It's just a Gaia/Erebus/Khaos situation and I love it. Just three primordial gods-- two of which just poofed into existence when one created the universe }

Pokemon Meteorites Theory - Why the Darkest Day happened after AZ fires the Ultimate Weapon, and how it relates to the Tellur Meteorite
so umm idk when I turned into a theory blog but here we go
I always thought that the Darkest Day was an interesting addition to the Pokemon lore. It seems so... disconnected from what we know of the Pokemon lore, even though it takes place at the same time. Then something clicked after researching the timeline - do not judge how I spend my spare time - and it made a lot of sense, even too much sense, for me to ignore.
This theory is real smol and is kinda based on theories by like three other people. BirdKeeperToby, AlmightyArceus, and Ruin Maniac Files on youtube all have really deep and developed theories regarding similar topics and I highly recommend watching them!!
Following are spoilers for Pokemon Sword/Shield, New Pokemon Snap, Pokemon X/Y, and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.
Ok so here’s how the timeline goes, assuming the Pokemon games all take place in the same millennium:
20 000 ya - Eternatus lands on Earth in a meteor 
3 000 ya - Kalos War occurs and AZ builds a resurrection machine for his lost Floette before turning it into the Ultimate Weapon and firing it, leading to Mega Evolution and now AZ is immortal and all that fun stuff, he is the first person to utilize the life force of Pokemon for technology                - the Darkest Day occurs in Galar, where Eternatus causes an absurd amount of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing in a black storm. It is stopped by Zacian and Zamazenta 
2 000 ya - Meteor showers in Hoenn form Meteor Falls               - The world is full of natural energy, which Groudon and Kyogre awaken in their Primal forms to fight over. They are stopped by Rayquaza as per the wish of the Draconid people               - The Tellur meteorite heads for the Lental region, but is stopped by the Illumina Pokemon
1 000 ya - Meteorite in Hoenn forms Sootopolis                - Primal energy from the meteorite awakens Groudon and Kyogre again, and Mega Rayquaza is summoned to stop them                - A prophecy is foretold of another meteor in a thousand years
present - Groudon/Kyogre are awakened before the meteor can hit                - Mega Rayquaza is summoned by Brendan/May and Zinnia to stop the meteorite, which contains a Deoxys               - something about loving Pokemon makes the Illumina Pokemon wake up, idk I still don’t get it I just want to know more about Captain Vince
at some point in the past but it’s not specified - Calyrex saves the Pokemon of the Crown Tundra from a meteorite strike, explaining why ancient fossil Pokemon walk around in present day (the same also happens in Lental with Archeops and Aurorus)
So what does this mean?
How is the Darkest Day connected to Groudon/Kyogre’s awakening? Isn’t it a separate event? Well yes but here’s my idea
AZ fires a hecking ton of Infinity Energy into space (where meteorites are from) and, in response to that, Eternatus (a being that basically consumes and make infinite amounts of Infinity Energy) wakes up and causes the Darkest Day. Every thousand years after AZ fired the Ultimate Weapon, meteorites containing significant amounts of Infinity Energy land.
The Darkest Day happened because Eternatus felt all of that energy. Not only that, but Eternatus is connected to meteorites even before making the connection that, every thousand years afterward, the planet is bombarded with meteors. We’ve seen Groudon and Kyogre wake up multiple times in response to a presence of Infinity Energy, so it makes sense that Eternatus woke up in a similar fashion.
(idk if it was clear, but my theory is that I’m placing the Darkest Day after AZ fires the Ultimate Weapon on the timeline)
Side note: Deoxys is a mutated space virus in a meteor. Is this a result of being exposed to so much Infinity Energy? I think yes and I think I’m not crazy
Also I included New Pokemon Snap info in this because the Tellur Meteorite (which wasn’t a meteorite but just a meteor but whatever terminology is thrown out the window here) alligns PERFECTLY with the meteors in Hoenn that created Meteor Falls and the awakening of Groudon/Kyogre.
This begs one question that has been on my mind since finishing New Pokemon Snap...
If the Illumina phenomenon did not come from the Tellur meteorite, where did it come from? 
Xerneas. I mean, duh, but why? Why did Xerneas do that? For the aesthetic? Probably not. I mean, let’s be honest, Instagram didn’t exactly exist two thousand years ago
Well, maybe it’s not a coincidence that this is 1000 years after the Ultimate weapon is fired, and Xerneas sleeps for 1000 years after expending too much energy. (it’s also said to have slept for 2000 years in New Pokemon Snap, sleeping extra long right after stopping the Tellur meteorite and even then not being fully awaken when you encounter it, sounds like me on the weekends tbh)
Anyways the meteorite didn’t create the Illumina phenomenon, but Xerneas did create the phenomenon to stop the meteorite, which spread its magic all over the Lental region under the barrier made by it and its companions that it selected to help, choosing one from each island. 
Or not, whatever
Maybe I’m taking the lore established in a spin-off too seriously, but it matches up too PERFECTLY to ignore. What do yall think about the Illumina phenomenon, meteorites, Infinity Energy, and the Pokemon world in general?
TL;DR: AZ screwed everyone over a lot more than you realize
