Adriana's Pokémon

..I may or may not have put far too much thought into the various Pokémon that my self-insert Adri obtains throughout her journey in Reborn, and then also came up with no less than four theme teams that she could use in Arclight's nightclub. So I wanted to share them here as well!

Since there are quite a few different teams here, I've decided to put the list under a readmore, and I want to stress that these are purely out of attachment to the Pokémon in question rather than any sort of actual competitive viability (as will probably be evident when you look at the teams, hehe). The Pokémon are listed in canonical order of acquisition for the two journey teams, but not in any particular order for the other teams.

Kalos journey team: Lumi (Shiny Pumpkaboo), Regalia (Aegislash), Spectre (Gengar), Calcifer (Chandelure), Anima (Rotom), Rowan (Trevenant). Spectre can Mega-Evolve. This is the team that Adri uses during her first journey as a Pokémon Trainer, before she comes to Reborn. Lumi is Adriana's partner Pokémon, and she is a companion Pokémon who does not participate in battles, so Regalia technically functions as her starter from a battling perspective since it was the first Pokémon she had been given by her parents to start off her journey.

Reborn journey team: Echo (Mimikyu), Drifter (Drifblim), Willow (Aevian Mismagius), Sidera (Gothitelle), Prince Kai (Jellicent), Argent (Reborn-Shiny Silvally), Soulfire (Chandelure), Gemstone (Sableye), Lady (Reborn-Shiny Froslass), Corybantia (Aegislash), Amethyst (Reborn-Shiny Mismagius), Selene (Reborn-Shiny Cresselia), Phantom (Marshadow), Nightmare (Reborn-Shiny Darkrai), Galea (Reborn-Shiny Giratina). Argent holds the Ghost Memory, and Gemstone can Mega-Evolve. You might notice that this "team" has a) way more than six Pokémon and b) is listed in order of acquisition when you can't normally get Aevian Misdreavus or Mimikyu until later in the game than I've listed them. To the first point, these are all the Pokémon that Adri canonically obtains during her journey - though she gifts Sidera to Luna - and some are kind of needed for progression (Drifter to fly, Prince Kai to surf and dive, etc.); the team of six that she actually completes the main game with are Echo, Argent, Soulfire, Gemstone, Lady, and Corybantia, with Phantom and Galea then swapping in to her battling team during the postgame. To the second point.. I figured that it was reasonable for the Pokémon that I've moved to show up before the first gym (in Seacrest's garden and hanging around the city for Willow and Echo respectively), and it makes attempting to run a "canon team playthrough" of the actual game way more viable.

Gym Leader team: Lady (Reborn-Shiny Froslass), Echo (Mimikyu), Soulfire (Chandelure), Gemstone (Sableye), Corybantia (Aegislash), Amethyst (Reborn-Shiny Mismagius). As the name implies, this is the team Adriana uses once she becomes the Reborn League's Ghost-type Gym Leader; her "ace" Pokémon in terms of levels is technically Amethyst. She chooses to take her battles in Iolia Valley rather than in the Abandoned Power Plant as Shade had, so this team would be fought on the Dark Crystal Cavern field if it existed in-game.

Themed teams:

Kalosian Noble - Parfum (Aromatisse), Jacaranda (Trevenant), Corybantia (Aegislash), Mona (Crystal Aegislash), Diamantaire (Diancie), Lethe (Yveltal). Diamantaire can and will Mega-Evolve. This team would be fought on the Fairy Tale Field, if fields are enabled. It is themed around Adriana's origins as the daughter of a noble family in Kalos and the fact she was originally supposed to have become one of Valerie's Gym Trainers if she hadn't instead found her Shiny Pumpkaboo, hence why all the Pokémon originate from Kalos (except for Mona being a Reborn-exclusive altform) and most of them are Fairy-type. (Yes, Mona is named after the god-slaying sword from another game series that you might be suspecting her to be.)

Second Timeline - Arcan (Delphox), Rosalyne (Roserade), Sapphire (Reborn-Shiny Ampharos), Kelaino (Honchkrow), Argent (Reborn-Shiny Silvally), Corybantia (Aegislash). Argent holds the Ice Memory, and Sapphire can and will probably Mega-Evolve. This team would be fought on the Factory Field, if fields are enabled, though Adriana has multiple ways of changing the field in her team (such as Sapphire's Discharge or Rosalyne's Grassy Terrain), so that could very easily change mid-battle. It is supposed to represent the team that I myself used to beat the game for the first time, which is therefore the team Adri canonically used in the previous timeline where she was the chosen protagonist.

Galea's Chosen - Maelstrom (Reborn-Shiny Altaria), Phantom (Marshadow), Corybantia (Aegislash), Argent (Reborn-Shiny Silvally), Nightmare (Reborn-Shiny Darkrai), Galea (Reborn-Shiny Giratina). Argent holds the Dragon Memory, and Maelstrom can and will Mega-Evolve. This team would be fought on the New World field, if fields are enabled. It is probably the strongest of Adriana's teams considering the field (which can't be overwritten!) and how many legendaries are in it, which makes sense considering it is supposed to reflect her having been chosen by a Giratina.

Void-kissed - Alatus (Absol), Amethyst (Reborn-Shiny Mismagius), Sidera (Gothitelle), Luna (Umbreon), Phantom (Marshadow), Nightmare (Reborn-Shiny Darkrai). Alatus can and will Mega-Evolve. This team would be fought on the Dark Crystal Cavern field, if fields are enabled. It is supposed to demonstrate Adriana's connection to Luna, since she also has an Absol and Umbreon of her own (named White Rabbit and Cheshire respectively), Luna is associated with Darkrai (albeit probably not necessarily its Shiny, as well as Cresselia) while Adriana is associated with Marshadow (as well as Giratina), and Adriana gave her Gothitelle (Sidera) to Luna while Luna then caught a Reborn-Shiny Mismagius (Amethyst) and decided to give it to Adriana.

And that's all the teams I've come up with so far! Thank you so much to everyone who has read to this point! It really means a lot ^-^

#a call from the void #lore info #I don't know if i've used that tag before but I will now. just for the sake of finding this later. not really sure what else to call it =P #this post is okay to reblog! #selfship #selfshipping #heart of the void #the main focus is of course on #self-insert: soul-touched (adriana) #adriana's pokémon #but also there is a bit of #selfship: void-kissed (luna/adriana) #because of one of my teams kind of being luna-themed ^-^ #no you're not getting movesets because I think that would take literally forever #and only second timeline technically has them anyway since that is just my old playthrough team lifted straight from the game #at first glance it may not make sense for an aevian regional form to be in reborn because I don't think reborn is near aevium #but a visiting trainer could well have accidentally left it there right? it is in the game after all #yes I know I have a lot of shinies but it is not my fault that reborn has so many amazing custom shiny sprites that I adore #and besides the shiny chance in that game is way higher than normal anyway so it's fine #ahh i've been working on this all day haha
