What type would each Pokemon villain be? Including Tera types.

Sure! I like playing Pokémon type tarot or whatever you want to call it. I guess Tera types could be like a hidden side, one that shows up in fewer situations, or one that is more variable.

Giovanni: Ground/Normal (Tera fighting)

In addition to it being his type specialty, ground is fitting with Giovanni in that he’s a grounded person. He has a plan B, C, and D, his organization is well-structured enough to go on without him for years, and while he has grand goals, he’s fine approaching them slowly and realistically. Normal is because his goal is pretty mundane compared to other villains and because of his persian and kangaskahn. And he’s shown to greatly value Pokémon battling and his abilities in it, thus the fighting Tera.

Maxie: Fire/Ground

It’s the type of primal groudon and his camerupt. Ground represents how his team is more organized than Team Aqua and his general preference for structure, and fire represents his emotionality and anger.

Archie: Water

It just seemed right for someone this obsessive to be a monotype. This one needs no explanation. It also fits him being cooler-headed and needing/wanting less structure than Maxie.

Cyrus: Flying/Dark (Tera electric)

Aside from flying and dark being his most-used types, flying represents that he’s ambitious to the point of being unrealistic and that he doesn’t see limits. Dark is for his selfishness and deceit. And electric is for his association with technology, rotom, and his crackling passion (Tera because he hides it).

Volo: Fairy/Ghost (Tera dragon)

It seemed right for Volo to be represented by the types most associated with myth, and both ghosts and fairies are associated with impishness. Dragon is the type of power and grand goals, and it’s his Tera type because he pretends to just be a quirky merchant while secretly being very strong and ambitious. Plus, dragon and ghost are the types of Giratina.

N: Grass/Dragon (Tera: fire or electric)

Grass is the type of calm, nurturing and kindness, as well as fragility. Dragon is the type of power, royalty and mysticism. Fire and electric can both represent passion, with fire being a more romanticizing passion (truth) and electric being a goal-driven one (ideals). Which N would have would depend on the version.

Ghetsis: Dark/Dragon

For his selfish, soulless, underhanded ambition and daring nature, there could be no other type but dark/dragon. It’s also the type of his ace. Dragon also suits his refined presentation.

Colress: Steel/Electric (Tera flying)

They’re the types associated with technology. Colress seems like he has a good balance between calm sturdiness and goal-driven passion. Flying is for his irresponsible ambition- he sees no limits, even when he absolutely should be seeing moral ones.

Lysandre: Fire/Flying (Tera dark)

Lysandre is a man with high ideals and a passion that could easily become very dangerous. Dark is for his deceitfulness and hatefulness, and it’s his Tera type because he hides it from the public.

Lusamine: Poison/Fairy

In contrast to the uncaring dark type, poison types often become harmful because of obsession and high, uncontrolled emotions. Fairy type represents her love of aesthetics and generally feminine personality.

Guzma: Bug/Fighting

In addition to being a bug specialist, Guzma prides himself on being a pest, unwilling to show respect for that which he doesn’t find respectable. He’s also highly aggressive, angry and destructive.

Rose: Steel (Tera poison)

Monotype because he’s obsessive, poison because he’s toxic and to associate him with Eternatus.

Piers: Dark/Normal

Aside from it being the type of his ace, I associate the normal type with an appreciation for the mundane, which fits with his goals of caring for his town and his sister.

Penny: Fairy/Electric (Tera fire)

Ngl, fairy is mostly because of sylveon, but it also represents her naughtiness and rebelliousness pretty well. Electric is because of her tech skills, and fire is because, though it’s understated, she’s clearly a very passionate person.

Kieran: Grass/Poison

Kieran is gentle, sweet and meek by nature, but he’s also highly emotional and has acted in some very toxic ways because of it and his obsessions with Ogerpon and strength.

#pokemon #rocket boss giovanni #magma boss maxie #aqua boss archie #galactic boss cyrus #volo #pokemon n #plasma leader ghetsis #colress #flare boss lysandre #skull boss guzma #lusamine #gym leader piers #chairman rose #penny #kieran #thanks for the ask

wishing western enjoyers of japanese media a very "use critical thought when engaging with media from cultures you are not native to"

this is about westerners not thinking about the fact that volo is indigenous coded and a lot of the context/aesthetic of the hisui natives is rooted in inspiration from ainu people/history.

this is about westerners not thinking about these things when making the Choice to depict volo being a purely manipulative pokemon-satan summoning girlboss, being entirely self centered in his motivations, and/or getting beat up by american coded subway bosses.

like, please think about the fact that you're choosing to take an indigenous coded man with implied cultural/religious trauma and turning him into a sexyman villain and/or cathartic punching bag for contextual foreigners.

#i am saying this as a submas fan. THINK FOR FIVE SECONDS before making character takes about volo #the hisui natives being ainu/indigenous coded needs to be kept in mind when making fan content decisions about them!#as a person with taiwanese indigenous family. Please Just Think About The Ainu Coding #pokemon #pokemon legends arceus #pl:a #pl:a spoilers #pokemon volo #volo legends arceus #aenor-llelo

I think for the sake of your reading comprehension, you should review the actual meanings behind the following terms, since it’s clear you have zero idea what either means:

Troll

Antis

Perhaps you should also just stop reposting other people’s art altogether, since you didn’t actually draw it. Perhaps you should, I don’t know, just stick to reblogging, or posting your own art, and stop trying to only get likes due to the talent of other people. Crazy thought.

No, I get it. Anti stands for 'anti-shipping', so presumably, a person can be against shipping cartoon identical twins as an aesthetic because of icky irl incest, yet they can also be into morbidly obese shitting dick nipple a/b/o werewolf knotting smut.

It's true I'm failing at trolling, as trolling is supposed to be throwing random incediary jabs to stir people up. One isn't supposed to throw out valid points or ask reasonable questions, such as when I asked what percentage of anti-shippers are grossed out by my identical twin fixation but will turn around and think it's okay to post gross-ass monster fucking two-dick vore fics in cartoon animal fandoms or fandoms that don't even have anything to do with being a furry, such as pokemon world train clowns. Monsters don't exist irl, yo! That makes it not a moral issue! At least I don't take my twin fixation and incorporate it into every fandom that exists so that's all anybody sees.

There's no way I'd ever stop reposting. This blog is too massive. I always have 300-500 posts in my queue, and some holidays are already covered. Fans into the same hyperfixations can look at my archive and see fun, beautiful art that isn't peppered with the same furry fetish trash almost every other site has. It's like being on Danbooru, but without porn, and it's just me posting. Anyway, stats of most used tags as of 09/07/23....

Subway Bosses: 3612 posts.

Gardevoir: 2726 posts:

Gallade: 1636 posts.

Volo: 1292 posts.

Blankshipping only represents 459 of those posts, and most of the twin shipping is "Tweek and Craig" type yaoi where they hold hands and cuddle. Here, have a pinch of edge from 市川美崎@ICKWMGD Twitter.

#damn furries #fandom fail #blankshipping #troll post #at least there's no omegaverse #srsly tho #black and white

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ ɪɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Hi, my name is rachii. just your average ADHD ridden young woman who loves video games and tons of other things!

Read more under the cut! ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎‬

(ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ 𝒫ℯ𝓇𝓈ℴ𝓃𝒶𝓁 (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ

My brother and I were born prematurely, so I have developmental issues, like a horrible math disability, ADHD, vision impairment, and processing issues. Growing up, I didn't really connect with other girls my age, because I had different interests, and in turn was bullied when I was a child and in high school, so that severely damaged my self esteem into adulthood.

I thought everything would be fine, and that I could make friends, and yes, I do have friends online, and I've endured various harassment over shipping throughout the years. I do try to keep to myself and do as I wish, but I ended up getting bullied/witch hunted just last year ( 2023 ) on an RP site where I had roleplayed as my version of Volo from Pokemon Legends Arceus.

This annoying clique decided that I was a threat and a pedophile when all I did was roleplay canon Volokari ( Volo x Akari) with another person. And they said they had evidence against me, but in character RPs don't count as concrete evidence. And then, they started telling people new to the verse to block/report my profile, and to stay away from me.

All I ever wanted was to RP in a place without judgement, but I couldn't even do that. And the worst part? There was a user who ran in their circles and I never knew. Before all of this drama occurred, we RPed together and were pretty chill, but apparently she lied, and said she was never my friend. That betrayal hurt.

So yeah, after going through what I did, I’m obviously gonna have trust issues.

( More on the full story in another post I'm working on.)

More personal stuff!

As for my personality, I'm soft and quiet and sometimes I'm very weird bc of my ADHD, but I usually am very cheerful and a sweet person who just wants attention, but at the same time, is scared of opening up due to past negative experiences. I'm also incredibly very sensitive, and cry easily in some situations.

𝙼𝚢 𝙵𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝙲𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚑𝚎𝚜

Volo from Pokemon Legends Arceus

Izaya Orihara from Durarara!!!

Master Chief from Halo

The Doom Slayer from DOOM

Samuel Hayden from Doom (2016)

Super Sonico from Nitro+ ( I love putting her in horrible situations with other men from various media lmao )

Jed Olsen | Danny Johnson | Ghostface from Dead by Daylight

N from Pokemon

Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen

2B from Nier Automata

9S from Nier Automata

Lucoa from Miss Koyashi's Dragon Maid

Johan Liebert from Monster

( I have more crushes, but those are the ones I can pull off the top of my head.)

𝘔𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘴/𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴

˚₊‧꒰ა❤︎໒꒱ ‧₊ Video games! I like any game that catches my interest, but some of my favs are Pokemon, Animal Crossing, DOOM, Cyberpunk 2077, Halo, KinitoPET, Nier Automata/Replicant

Some of my fav mobile games are NIKKE Goddess of Victory, Reverse:1999, and Tears of Themis

˚₊‧꒰ა❤︎໒꒱ ‧₊ Watching various media online, as well as anime.

˚₊‧꒰ა❤︎໒꒱ ‧₊ Roleplaying, although I'm highly selective about who I RP with due to negative experiences.

˚₊‧꒰ა❤︎໒꒱ ‧₊ Writing fanfiction. Even though I'm doing my best to get back into it, and not focus on what others do and not compare myself to others.

˚₊‧꒰ა❤︎໒꒱ ‧₊ I love creating character aesthetics and aesthetics of all kinds, especially vaporwave.

𝙸𝚗 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐

This post is for proshippers, and anyone who advocates for anything in fiction, no matter how dark or taboo. This post is NOT for antis or minors. Stay a respectable distance away please!

Some more small facts about myself before closing

I vocally stimm a lot, and meow and hum!

I have no issue with skimpily dressed women in video games.

I'm not the most sexual of people, but I do enjoy dirty talking on occasion about what I'm into. ( Although, I'm more interested in fictional characters going at it, than talking about myself sexually.)

I LOVE sweets, like cheesecake, ice cream, and cake. Also cheese pizza is the best!

I am attracted to 2D girls in media, but am straight in reality.

I am the only one who enjoys horror in my family.

Anyway, I'm not sure how to close this out, but feel free to interact with this post and message me if you'd like my discord!

what about the super 5? what are their pokemon? what about toichiro? i feel like he'd be the kind of person to either have a singular liepard/persian just for the aesthetic or have a full on decked team carefully picked by their iv and type and stuff

YEAH okay you're close kinda. The super 5 are all trainers that have one single overpowered pokemon (that still kinda fit their aesthetic)

Shimazaki has an alakazam with the ability Inner focus or Magic Gaurd (still deciding which one). It has Psychic as a move that deals a good amount of damage. It also has Teleport (for obvious reasons), Double team to make it harder to hit, and his last OP move which is Future Sight. His fatal flaw comes in the form that he has only psychic type moves. It's why evasiveness helps him so much, if he's faced with an opponent that might be trouble for him, exhausting it is his only option to winning.

Minegishi has a Tangrowth. I picked it for them because it can learn Grassy terrain (so that even in a "concrete jungle," they can still land heavy blows), power whip, giga drain (based on Sho's "plant food" thing when he was talking about them), and poison powder. After their redemption, they do fill out their team with more "aesthetically pleasing" pokemon (although they are significantly weaker than Tangrowth)

Serizawa has a Gardevoir with a mega evolution stone (before he joins S&S, he doesn't trust himself with it. He keeps it hidden far away from him where he can't see it.) I gave him a gardevoir because it's a very emotional pokemon. Ralts can very much feel and are influenced by the emotions of people and other pokemon around it. Kirlia as well. I've also heard that the Ralts evolution chain can inherit the mindset of its trainer and mirror their emotions. Hence, whenever Serizawa's thrown in for a panic attack, his gardevoir also goes into a frenzy. It's dex entries also convinced me. "[...]ability to read the future. If it senses impending danger to its Trainer[...]unleash its psychokinetic energy at full power" and "[...]will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life."

Shibata has a Machamp with Steadfast. It knows bulk up (increases att. and def.), Cross chop for the crit, dynamic punch as it has low accuracy, and submission for the recoil.

Hatori has a vikavolt cuz I thought it'd be funny as hell. KIDDING he performs better in double battles rather than battling by himself. it has Charge to control devices, agility for speed, and bug buzz. It also has Zap Cannon as a trump card, but it misses a lot. hence his dependency on double battles

toichiro does have a fully decked out team. it took him years to form because (as you've mentioned) he wouldnt settle for anything less than perfect. His team covers a lot of types. I want him to be as terrifying as cynthia/volo. For him, I got Alteria (it knows perish song and earthquake), Magnezone, Torterra, Houndoom, Gallade (which is what gets Serizawa to trust him ("omg hes just like me fr")) and Gengar (also knows perish song) with a mega evolution stone. I made his team specifically trying to cover other pokemons weaknesses

#open to suggestions #with toichiros team #took me so long to form it #sorry this one took a bit to answer #had to help with dinner #there's so much to talk about with serizawa and his gardevoir #i might make a separate post for him too hm hm #i did so much research for this lord help me #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #mp100 pokémon au #serizawa katsuya #shimazaki ryou #minegishi toshiki #hatori nozomu #shibata horishi #long post

top 5 favorite pokemon! :D

see my ultimate fave changes like, every other month but since like, i wanna say january as that's when legends arceus released, i've gained a newfound appreciation for the zorua line, which i already really liked beforehand but they've climbed up the ranks tremendously since nintendo blessed me with their hisuian variants.... but i like all variants, i just really really adore hisuian zorua in particular. i've shiny hunted for it like, 5 times now & i'm slowly but surely working on getting an alpha shiny.... no luck so far but we will get there eventually i hope. anyway zorua is my little baby and zoroark is epic too (and there's that n bias as well what can i say?)

umbreon but very specifically my shiny umbreon, suki, whom i have an emotional attachment to. i would say its my favorite shiny overall outside of zorua/zoroark + giratina and the day i got that thing after hatching so many eggs... pure unprecedented happiness. i also just really love umbreon as a pokemon, it's always been my favorite eeveelution.

alolan ninetales & vulpix were essentially designed just for me, everything about the typing, the overall aesthetic... it all just appeals to me so much. if i was an actual trainer this would 100% be my signature. i also really like kantonian ninetales & vulpix but GOD the alolan variant slap so hard.

metagross, a really neat pokemon, the signature of one of my favorite trainers in the series & another one that i am personally attached to, namely my shiny who's been with me since 2014 when oras initially dropped... it is my big metal baby, i adore it. i also managed to procure another one in swsh in a random max raid battle which is pretty poggers.

giratina, favorite legendary ever, probably the coolest-designed pokemon with really interesting lore & an absolutely impeccable shiny variation, and there's also that bias because volo. i just love how it doesn't really look like a pokemon at all but a biblically accurate angel, but at the same time you can give it pets and feed it poffins :)

#honorable mention(s): milotic altaria lucario sneasel/weavile absol gardevoir/gallade and rowlet #the pikachu line too - especially raichu #tbh i have so many faves i have a hard time rating them... these are just the first ones that came to mind.#thank you though!! c:

Jubilife Village, Hisui Region, 1804 AC

Dawn and Rei soon returned to the village in Volo’s wagon to give their reports and rest. Dawn went to fulfill more requests around the village, giving more alpha pokemon to people who wanted a pokemon partner, having fun with Vessa, and finally showing a big enough buizel to Dorian and his weird thing with size comparisons, though Dorian also drew her and gave the resulting chibi drawings of her as part of the compensation. ‘Very particular on the aesthetic I like to collect’, she recalled his comment. She figured he had a lot of time on his hands standing guard over the village.

She also went to Anthe’s to buy a spooky themed pattern kimono set and planned ahead by buying some snow gear for the eventual trip to the Alabaster Icelands. She then went to the river to show off Lord Basculegion to the interested kids, hopefully seeding the idea for the Basculegion Boat Festival years later. She also went to buy the remaining mechanical items from Ginter and chuckled at how out of place they were in her house.

“If more stuff ends up through the space-time distortions, I’m gonna end up in quite an anachronistic house.” she commented to Rei as the two readied themselves for the festival commemorating the village’s founding.

She wore an amethyst colored set, a twisted headband, a festival top, and fancy zori sandals, all matching with her spooky themed bottoms.

Rei, on the other hand, kept his cap while wearing a tangerine festival top, fist themed bottoms and crimson fancy zori sandals that matched his cap.

“At the rate you’re going, you’ll probably buy everything Anthe could make and sell in her shop.” Rei joked as he watched another Arthur Asimov video on her phone.

“And I’ll likely make you carry them and also ask you if each piece makes me look like I gained weight.” Dawn countered back, much to Volo’s amusement as he arrived.

“And as someone working with clothes at one point, you don’t want to tell a woman she looks fat. Even if you don’t, they won’t believe you.”

“So a lose-lose either way?” Rei muttered with an annoyed look.

“Yup.” Dawn grinned.

“Pretty much.” Volo agreed.

The two then chuckled at the face Rei made before the three headed out into the festival. It was still early as the villagers were preparing the lanterns but some stalls already began selling food and some people were already playing games.

Even some of the Diamond and Pearl Clan visited the village to take part in the celebration. Dawn wondered if some actual Celesticans from Michina Town even visited given the white and gold clothing she spotted around the stalls.

Commander Kamado, with Irida and Adaman, then began the opening speech for the festival. It’s the usual spiel in Dawn’s opinion. Another year of surviving the wilderness of Hisui, adapting to change… the only thing missing was a microphone and speaker system and it’ll look like a mayoral campaign.

Dawn then watched Adaman and Irida going to the front side of the stage, struggling not to make an argument in front of the crowd as they made a joint speech and blessing for another year of good will and prosperity for the village.

“In the name of Almighty Sinnoh,” they both began.

“Be they be the Lord of All Encompassing Space,” Irida said.

“Or the Lord of Ever Progressing Time,” Adaman added.

“Where we all find the space to grow to our full potential,”

“When we all experience the best times of our lives frequently,”

“To this we pray,” they said together once more. “In the name of all the peoples of Hisui.”

The two then took a deep breath then glanced at each other. They then huffed and exited the stage through opposite sides.

“Well, at least they’re more tolerant of each other?” Rei muttered at that.

“If that’s the end result of them working with each other, I wonder what they were before Jubilife was founded.” Dawn commented.

“Probably staying far away from each other, communicating through representatives or messengers.” Volo guessed before the three wandered around the festival, enjoying themselves.

It was during the wandering that Dawn noticed someone she knew wasn’t supposed to be there. Enough that she had to be imagining things.

“It is a pity that I can’t bring Lord Electrode to enjoy the festivities.” a guy with long hair said to someone with what looked like a light purple humanoid pokemon playing with some kids.

“There is the fear that Lord Electrode will be struck by lightning and go on a frenzy. Three ruling nobles went on a frenzy by now.” the man in the tattered coat said as he held some paper plates full of food, one for himself and the other for his pokemon that casually stabbed a dango with a claw before eating it.

“And I hate it.” the Diamond Clan guy groaned in frustration. “Lord Avalugg is way too big to hide and my great Lord Electrode shouldn’t be put underground, even for his safety from weird lightning strikes.” he said, eating his baked potato with butter.

“Sneas sne.” the pokemon nodded in agreement as they patted a kid that was having fun with the white and gold basket next to them before waving the kid goodbye. “Sneasler.”

“Lady Sneasler suggests getting help from others in the clan. There is also the Galaxy Team members that managed to quell the frenzied nobles.”

The guy sighed.

“Look, I know you’re still an outsider to the clans’ ways but can you imagine how much of a loss of standing it is when someone else, an outsider of the clans even, goes to serve the troubled noble even more than their actual Warden?”

“Are you that worried over your pride?”

“It has never been about me.” the guy nearly yelled. “To be a Warden is to fulfill a sacred duty towards a noble lineage blessed by Almighty Sinnoh themself. To be chosen to be a Warden is both a great honor and a great duty. As such we must conduct ourselves as is proper. I know the Pearl Clan talked about the joys of their silly space but we of the Diamond Clan are taught to be prepared for every possibility.”

“Even one that the clans have never experienced before?” Ingo, for it has to be either Ingo or another lookalike ancestor and she doubted the coat and hat ensemble was somehow passed down the family for generations, said as she slowly walked closer to the group. “This is a Black Swanna situation. A completely outside context problem.”

“A swanna? Is your memory clearing up a bit more?”

“I… I believe so. I think it’s a pokemon, from where I’m from.”

“I-Ingo?” Dawn muttered out, surprising the three.

“Y-yes young passenger? That is my name.” Ingo said.

“Ingo Jameni? Of the hashtag traintwins on Chirper?” Dawn said as she pulled out her phone. “Please tell me I’m not imagining this.” she flipped through the downloaded gifs and showed it to the trio.

The Diamond Clan guy’s face turned red at the sight. The pokemon chuckled at the sight.

“... I believe you’re acquainted with a different Ingo.” Ingo said as Dawn went to look at her phone screen, wondering why they reacted like that. A glance at the gif of the shirtless Fitness Masters showing off a proper workout answered that.

“Sorry! Wrong universe!” Dawn shouted, face red as she properly looked at the downloaded gifs. “H-here, I meant this.”

“T-the man in white…” Ingo muttered out in shock as they watched the gif of what looked like him and his mirror doing the same pose. The feeling that was missing when he did it, like there should have been someone next to him when he did it. Ingo went to grab the phone, looking closer at it.

“His name is Emmet, your twin brother.” Dawn said. “From my reality, I don’t know if you’re my Ingo, but before I was sent here, my Ingo was gone for months. He just disappeared in the tunnels one night-”

“Before closing Gear Station for the day… I… I was doing some routine checks…” Ingo continued, tears falling from his wide eyes as the whites of said eyes began to glow a soft blue. He easily swiped to the next file, a video, showing him and his brother being filmed by someone else. They were cooking lunch, a Galaran curry of some kind that became a craze at the time. He noticed the mugs of coffee nearby.

“You know, I always find it ironic.” the Ingo in the video commented as they waited for the water to boil for the curry roux.

“I am Emmet. What’s ironic?”

“That I take my coffee black and you add in so much milk, cream and sugar, making it white.”

“Why would that be ironic?” a third voice, a woman’s voice, said. “You wear black and drink black coffee. Emmet wears white and drinks white coffee.”

Emmet then chuckled.

“And you drink frappes and frappuccinos, Elesa.” he said with a grin. It was a happy grin as Ingo noticed the smile in his eyes.

“I don’t know why I find it ironic, just that it felt ironic somehow. Like a train nicknamed fastrack that is always slowing down instead of speeding up.”

Ingo then skipped ahead, where all three and their pokemon happily ate their plate of curry.

“Elesa…” Ingo said as he watched the familiar woman chuckle as the twin’s faces before she ate her curry. The name was someone important to him, to both of them, a shared treasure. “Oh treasure ours…”

There was a sudden surge of pressure, faint, like a ripple made on a still pond, but a pressure nonetheless. People and pokemon stopped what they were doing for a moment, glancing around, before returning to what they were doing.

“W-what was…” the Diamond Clan guy muttered as he turned to face Ingo and noticed his glowing eyes. The pokemon simply woke Ingo from his trance with a simple wiping of his tears with her fur.

“Snea…”

“Oh, thank you, Lady Sneasler. I didn’t realize I was crying.” he then returned the phone to Dawn.

“I must thank you, miss.”

“Dawn. I’m Dawn.”

“Miss Dawn. A lot more of my memories have returned, as fragile as they are.”

“Y-you got amnesia?”

“Yes, and I fear that I might need to be reminded. I can already feel my memories fading.”

Dawn found herself placing a hand on Ingo’s forehead then his head, moving her hand underneath the hat.

“I sense an infection within thee…”

“Dawn!” Volo shouted, waking her from her trance. “There you are! Oh, Warden Ingo, Warden Melli, Lady Sneasler, what a surprise.”

Melli stood up straighter as Ingo caught his cap from falling.

“It’s the great Warden Melli to you, merchant.”

“Now, now, no need to be antagonistic. I’m not working at the moment.”

“Hey Dawn! There’s someone selling popcorn here!” Rei shouted as he ate a bag of popcorn with his pikachu.

“Oh? That sounds great! What flavors do they have?”

“Salt, butter, they even put caramel on the popcorn. Oh, who’s this?”

“Warden Melli, Warden Ingo and his noble, Lady Sneasler. They’re the wardens of the Coronet Highlands.” Volo said. “This is Dawn and Rei, the Galaxy Team Survey Corp’s best members. Dawn herself has quelled the various frenzied nobles.”

Melli turned suspicious at Dawn from that comment.

“Now, I had help. Don’t make it sound like I did it all by myself.”

“True, even Almighty Sinnoh has given their blessing, given how many times you technically died quelling the frenzies before you were pulled back to try again.”

“I honestly can’t tell if remembering the failed attempts alone is a good thing or not.” Rei commented.

Melli, Ingo and Lady Sneasler looked at Dawn in growing shock and horror.

“I’m sorry, you’re telling me that you died and Almight Sinnoh reversed time for you!?” Melli shouted, grabbing Dawn in the process.

“Well, a couple of times until I did it right. I got used to it.”

“Miss Dawn, that is a lie.” Ingo said, eyes, glowing a visible bright blue. Dawn couldn’t help but watch them, soft and warm, yet like a blue flame, intense and strong. “Don’t ask me how I could tell but I know a lie when I hear it.”

“You made it sound like you were blessed by Reshiram… wait…” Dawn muttered in realization as she pulled up her phone and went to the old video and played it for everyone to watch.

In it, Elesa was making fun of Emmet, who gained clearly inhuman characteristics like the strangely familiar silver on crimson eyes, in Ingo’s opinion, and the black claws.

They watched closely at the video until the end.

“Wait, if you’re Zekrom Incarnate, are you going to grow a tail? Are you going to grow a massive electric caboose!?”

“Elesa!”

“Zekrom?” Rei asked.

“The legendary Dragon of Ideals of Unova.” Dawn answered. “Their counterpart is Reshiram, the legendary Dragon of Truth. Technically, from my research, there’s the progenitor dragons, the original Reshiram and Zekrom. But they remained sealed away at this time period. They wouldn’t have been awakened and summoned until centuries from now. But Emmet was outed as the progenitor Zekrom’s human incarnation since this video was posted, and if you’re the twin of this Emmet and not some alternate universe Emmet…” Dawn said as she went to the pokedex app and showed them the images of Zekrom and Reshiram.

Ingo looked at the image of Zekrom and recalled the strange memory.

“I remember… the argument with the being in black, with Zekrom… I was a giant among an army in white while Zekrom was with an army in black… the land the battle happened in was strange, fertile fields and a harsh desert at the same time… then we roared at each other…” a sharp pain struck his forehead, making him drop the food.

“Ingo!” Melli said as he went to try to comfort him.

“T-that was the Unovan Civil War… it has to be. That happened some two thousand and five hundred years ago, I mean, two thousand and three hundred years. Such was the power of the progenitor dragons that the breadbasket of the Unova region became a desert despite attempts by nature, pokemon, and people to undo it.”

“Because… I Proclaimed it so… Zekrom… Proclaimed their victory and I… Proclaimed that they shall rule over sand and dust…” Ingo muttered as he sat down, panting with his eyes shut.

“He’s burning up.” Melli muttered in shock.

“Reshiram is a Dragon and Fire type.” Dawn added as she went to comfort him as well. “Why are you here Ingo? Two hundred years in Hisui Era Sinnoh is the last thing people would have looked for you…”

“I… I…” Ingo said before he opened his eyes to look at Dawn for a moment before he fainted.

In that moment, Ingo’s eyes weren’t glowing a soft blue, but in a strange grayish dark teal.

“Come on, carry him. My house is nearby.” Dawn practically ordered everyone, human and pokemon alike. “Volo, head to the wagon and cook out something that could cool down a fever or fire types, probably something with Occa berries.”

“Got it.” Volo said before he ran off.

The rest simply carried Ingo to Dawn’s home, fortunately the festival goers gave them the space to pass through. Rei even got Pesselle to visit some time later.

“As a healer, I suggest some medicine to help with the fever but Ingo should rest until it passes. A fever like this, it might be dangerous for the body. I’m honestly not sure what to think of this… revelation would mean for his health. Occa berries though?”

Dawn simply rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

“Occa berries weaken fire type moves when held by a pokemon. I don’t think the properties would have been discovered yet.”

“I’m curious as to where you even get the Occa berries for the spicy Occa berry soup Volo brought in when those don’t even grow in Hisui.”

Dawn then clapped her hands and bowed at Pesselle.

“P-please don’t tell anyone about it. I, uh, ordered them through Volo in secret and I don’t want him to get in trouble with Ginter.”

“I see. Well, as long as Ingo rested and stayed cool and hydrated, he might make a recovery. I’m still not sure about what being part fire type would mean for him so I unfortunately can’t help you there.”

“It’s alright Captain Pesselle. Thank you for your help.” Dawn said before waving Pesselle good bye.

In the distance, the fireworks began.

“So, was it true?” Melli asked. “The whole thing about Almighty Sinnoh reversing time for you?” he asked, clenching his hand and struggling to maintain composure. “To be an exception when it comes to time’s relentless forward march?”

“I, yeah, I did seven tries in quelling Lord Arcanine, so I died six times, technically, I quelled him on the fifth try but Rei died in the lava so I restarted that attempt.”

“I really don’t want the details on that.” Rei added.

Melli opened his mouth to say something, only to huff and look away.

“I’m sure my darling Lord Electrode won’t need quelling by the likes of a galaxy grunt.” he said before he went to Ingo’s side to replace the wet towel resting on his head with Lady Sneasler keeping guard.

“Well, there goes the festival fun.” Rei muttered.

“Now, now,” Volo said with a finger waggle. “There’s still the fireworks to watch at least.”

“True.” Dawn said. “I’m sure they want some space.” the three then watched the fireworks until Rei left to sleep at his home, though Dawn noticed a conflicted look on Volo from time to time. “I’m sure we’ll have plenty of questions tomorrow but I suggest not to overwhelm them. I don’t think Ingo knew he was apparently the human incarnation of a dragon god of truth.”

Volo made a strained chuckle.

“Being around you is quite an experience, to say the least. Is a prophecy going to be fulfilled by your actions as well?”

“Well, I don’t know about prophecies. Surprisingly sparse given the region’s deities. I did read some history and stories at least.” Dawn said with a yawn.

Volo simply grinned as he let the sleepy Dawn rest on his arm before watching the fireworks in silence.
