#join me in poke au so we can rp fun things ;v;

[telesthisia]

Remember that Pokemon AU I made long ago? Yeah, me neither but I decided to revisit and revise it after staying up until six AM because hell brain loves not letting me have sleep. I’m actually happy with how everything winded up this time around, if this AU strikes your fancy and you wanna collab or something I’m always down to chat things out!! Whether you want your muse to know Zel or be a gym leader/part of the elite four or just some average joe trainer I’m down!! Sooooo let’s go over some things, shall we?

So let’s start with the easiest, her team! I believe for her first AU, I made them psychic? I think? But here it’s all spooky scary ghost type, baby!!  She has Spiritomb, Dusknoir, Sableye, Mimikyu, Cofagrigus, Gengar, and Cursola! She doesn’t have an Ace, as she considers them all her aces, each pokemon has their own strengths and weaknesses and she tries to keep track of in order to come up with unique and tricky strategies to wipe the floor with you. As such her team is made up of feared opponents and it’s tough to say which pokemon is the toughest due to her ever changing strategies but it’s best to agree that they are all tough as hell. That said she had Gengar for the longest, having known him since he was a Haunter. He’s a bit of a malicious pokemon, often liking to play vicious pranks on unsuspecting people, though Zelda says it’s out of affection and his way of making friends; this statement is ambiguous considering how nasty Gengar can be to anyone who’s not Zelda ;v; he’s very loyal to her though and rarely will you see him in his pokeball. And yes, she spoils all her pokemon equally; she loves them all and will insist that they are just as cute as a Pikachu or Skitty despite how infamously creepy they all are and the fact that some of them can and will curse you. 

SHE’S THE SEVENTH GYM LEADER BABY!!!!! That’s right, a gym leader not some trainer! Let’s have some fun and indulge ourselves with this AU. So, Zelda comes from a region known as Hyrule which is rich in history. Though not a princess, she does have the neato title of: Ghostly Princess of Fantastical and Phantasmagoric Battles! She’s known for being the second most tough gym leader of her region, people more often fail getting past her before going to the final gym and then the champion and elite four. But, just because she’s tough to beat does not mean she’s impossible! She resides in the humble village of Kakariko. 

Her gym is actually really scary, we’re talking silent hill levels of scary. It looks like an abandon building perhaps built in an older era due to how antique it is, with paint chipping off the walls, paintings that have eyes following you, a dinky flashlight acting as the only source of light (unless you have flash than you’re set), some areas have tight spaces and hallway and the trainers hiding in the darkness ready to surprise you for a battle. Ghosts haunt the area so don’t be too surprised if you hear random noises, feel a sudden chill or come out with scratches. It makes battling her hilarious though since the last thing you’d expect is a petite girl in pastel with a bright smile encouraging you to do your best before beating your ass with cursed pokemon. Her gym is a dreadful place and it’s not surprising to see people go in there in groups of two or with their pokemon by their side. 

She has a natural kinship with ghosts overall, coming from a family of mediums/Channeler class on her mother’s side. As such she possesses sensitive PSI (sadly no telepathy in this verse u-u) she’s not only surrounded by ghost pokemon but also by human spirits; these ones are harder to see if you do not have medium abilities. That being said, she was subjected to possession when she was younger, but she’s more or less learned to not get possessed by the spirits as she grew. It’s almost impossible to take pictures with her or of her because of the ghosts surrounding her, but usually the sixth picture is the lucky shot where there’s nothing creepy going on in it. 

Already well-known thanks to her Dad, considering he’s the CEO of a tech company that ensures only the best technology for Trainers to use on their journey. So, heiress of a famous company. Some expect her to take over but Zelda has no plans of becoming the next head of the company nor is her father pressuring her to do so. Her mother passed long ago but at least in this AU her Dad is still alive so she actually has her family here :’) 

Though a gym leader, she’s not always inside her gym often liking to explore the region of Hyrule instead and visiting the Pokemon Tower to pay respects, it’s usually Impa that’s dragging her back by the ears to go battle challengers haha!! While responsible enough to uphold her duties as Gym Leader, this isn’t really her end goal in terms of career. She’s actually a college student studying to become a historian! Once she’s finished with her studies, she’ll probably go to the league to give up her position for the next in line. Usually she opens up before cramming for exams ;v; 

Speaking of which, she become stressed during exam periods and well, usual horde of ghost pokemon becomes bigger as the result. So if the townspeople of  Kakariko see a giant group of ghost pokemon surrounding a certain tiny blondie they assume that it’s testing time and go about their day LMAO. 

Annnnd that’s it! Here’s her design for the AU, I tried to stick to pokemon art style but it hard ;v; also no cool pointy elf ears for her how sad... but the general idea of her outfit is: Cute! Like Jasmine and her little sundress ;v;
