#the ecruteak incident

[efplanning]

some more info about ampharos and slowbro ^.^

When ampharos got dumped in slowpoke well he fell right on slowbro who was just chilling

"slowpoke well" actually is connected to an underground village of slowfolks(slowpokes slowbros slowkings) founded by a slowking

her dad was one of the only slowking in the well.

Slowbro didn't realize she was shiny until ampharos pointed it out. She used the word "shiny" to describe him first tho bc he was using his gem as a light source.

she called him amphy for awhile bc she didn't catch the rest of his name when he first said it.

Ampharos normally talked fast compared to most pokemon but slowed down considerably talking to slowbro, who talked very slow and paused a lot while talking herself and had a hard time keeping up w him when he didnt.

Slowbro liked seeing ecruteak...the same as goldenrod and wherever else they went together bc she had never left the well before...

they did honestly get along. It wasn't just ampharos manipulating her or anything they genuinely enjoyed each other's company and she wanted to see the outside world she had previously never given a second thought to...

She went to a kimono girl show before the incident and accidentally wandered onstage but the kimono girl was very polite about it.

Ampharos had mentioned his current job of bounty hunting and his past with ho oh and how there was actually a point that he was working at brass tower as a disciple or a guard or training to be one...before ho oh had told him to leave bc uhhh something something darkness in his heart. Slowbro couldn't keep up with this story when he told it tho...

It wasn't until she saw what would become known as burnt tower get struck by the harshest and loudest bolt of lightning/thunder she'd ever witnessed that she realized just how dangerous ampharos was...

Slowbro was already affected seeing the fire but seeing how the ecruteak citizens reacted to it made it even worse. namely the kimono girl from earlier and a Raticate mother sobbing and running desperately towards the burning building something about how "they were working tonight" having to be stopped from running straight into it...

By the time her and a few other water types were able to put the fire out. The building was already mostly burnt down...

ampharos was waiting for her on the route right past ecruteak during all that.

When slowbro saw him there she clocked him, broke his his head gem and she left without a word hoping she would never see him again...

(That probably wasn't the last time they saw each other but this post is long enough for now😔)

[A video is attached. It appears to be taken at the top of the Bell Tower in Ecruteak City, though said tower is deserted except for Maria. Oh, and the Ho-oh. So not really that deserted, it just seems a lot roomier without five Kimono Girls dancing atop it today.

"—recording?"

"I believe so, yes." Maria glances over her shoulder, towards the camera. The Gengar holding it gives a purple thumbs-up in view of the recording, Maria herself, and a certain Legendary Pokémon currently perched upon one of the Bell Tower's railings.

"It seems that is the case," she continues, looking back at Solaire. "Very well, then. Shall we?"

"Mmm." The Ho-oh seems almost to sigh. "I spoke with Suicune, recently, for the first time in quite some time. She informed me that she had, in fact, been lurking near Tohjo Falls herself upon the eve of that... incident... with Team Rocket."

"Suicune was there prior to my arrival or yours?" Maria raises an eyebrow.

"Indeed she was," Solaire says. "Quite irritated about the presence of Team Rocket as well. She lingered after our departure, and she saw something that we did not."

Solaire's gaze falls to the floor beneath the railing they are perched on. "This was thrown at me. It fell short and landed in the water, but as Suicune tells it, if it had been thrown a mere few moments sooner it would have indeed connected."

Maria's brow furrows as she kneels to pick the item up. "This... appears to be some form of Pokéball, though it is not one I have ever personally seen before."

The camera zooms in on the Pokéball in Maria's hand. It's definitely a Pokéball of some sort, but instead of a red upper half, it is purple, with two pink bumps causing the ball to not be as round as a normal one would be.

"Nor have I. Nor has Suicune, though she is quite certain that it is different in some way from a normal Pokéball." Solaire looks once again at the camera. "Perhaps your friends may be able to assist?"

The video ends.]

hello! im morning glory but you can just call me glory, and im a fucking walking wake now, apprantly

i used to live in ecruteak, johto but following an. incident. i now live with my brother in porto marinada, paldea. i made this account with the hopes of making friends since i am now in a completely different region to literally all my old ones, and im no where near rich, smart, or weird enough to attend naranja-uva and make friends there.

i enjoy the myths and legends of johto (and other regions but johto’s interests me the most), music, and fantasy novels.

i do not have any battling pokemon currently but i have a service armarouge/gardevoir hybrid named valkyrie. additionally, my family used to raise stantler back home and we had a smeargle so i have an understanding of pokemon care, especially in regards to certain normal types. i have no interest in obtaining any more new pokemon for myself in this new region.

General relationship hcs for Morty, Steven, Wallace, and Volkner with gn s/o?

similar to the last one, i'll be splitting this into 2 parts. first will be morty & volkner bc i wanna keep our fave gen iii boys together :,)

characters: morty (gen ii/iv), volkner (gen iv).

content: gn reader, established relationship, feel-good stuff all the way through. reader is a pokemon trainer, but their full occupation is unspecified in both morty & volkner's hcs.

tw: none.

MORTY

the two of you meet in ecruteak city at the bell tower. morty sees how stunning you are, and immediately uses his world-famous pickup line: "i'm able to see the future, and what i see is the two of us together."

he's absolutely a cheerful, flirty partner who never relents on pickup lines no matter how long you've been dating. everyday is a new adventure because this man has so much energy.

"morty, where are we going?" you ask, exasperated as he pulls you along the cobblestone paths in ecruteak. it's autumn, his favorite season, and his partner pokemon, gengar, is running alongside you. he looks over his shoulder and grins. "there's a new place i want to show you! it's almost as stunning as you, my will-o-wisp!" as he watches your lips curl into a bright smile, he laughs and begins running faster, excited to see how you'll react to seeing this new place in person.

even though he's obvious with his feelings (the man thinks he's smooth, but when he's in love, he can never stop nervously laughing at every joke you make and always finds an excuse to touch you), you have to make the first move. i imagine his confidence is a facade; deep down, being groomed to take over the gym after his parents, and many people generally being suspicious of him because of his love for ghost-type pokemon, has left a lot of scars and trust issues.

but when you do start dating, physical touch becomes his go-to love language. draping himself over your shoulders, holding your hand, wrapping an arm around your waist—PDA has become an integral part of your relationship.

of course, tell him if it makes you uncomfortable, and he'll tone it down in public. but when you're in private, cuddling is a must.

gengar becomes an integral part of your relationship, too. the pokemon is actually more mischievous than his trainer, leading to more than a few...incidences.

you stand in the kitchen, humming to yourself as you cut up some vegetables for dinner. morty is directly to your right, boiling water on the stove and dancing to the song you're singing. a chill runs down your back, and you look down. you shriek as you see your shadow begin moving around, jumping back into morty, who catches you. "gengar!" you yell, scowling as the purple ghost-type leaves your shadow and appears in the kitchen, snickering and pretending to act innocent. morty laughs, and despite your annoyance (the surprise made you drop the knife, meaning you'd have to spend extra time cleaning it before you could finish dinner) you couldn't help but laugh, too. "one day, i'll get used to it!" you exclaim. "i mean, i don't mind being your knight in shining armor," morty teases. gengar makes kissy noises behind his stubby little hands.

VOLKNER

you meet volkner in the midst of his burnout. after a lot of prodding and poking, he finally agrees to battle you in a friendly training match—and is electrified by your presence.

he's not the most cuddly person in the world. PDA is incredibly limited, and when you're home, you have to initiate most of what you do. what he does enjoy, though, is taking care of you: cooking you food, giving you massages when you come home stressed, making sure laundry is folded and put away as soon as it finishes.

i imagine you have to pull him away from his work often. having made so many things in sunyshore, volkner is out late at night, making sure everything is still working.

you walk into vista lighthouse, and finally find volkner on the observation deck, overlooking the city. "hey, it's getting late," you say, coming over to him and putting a hand on his back. "i know," he replies. "just...thinking. i'll be back home soon." you shake your head. "no, sir," you tease. "'soon' is going to turn into coming back at sunrise. let's get you some tea and a good book to read, okay?" he stares at the moon, high above the ocean. "but what if something happens?'" he asks. "and what if i'm not here to fix it?" "dear, you've got to stop worrying about things like that. eventually, something will happen, but you can't fix it if you're not in fighting shape, right?" with that logic, he finally relents and lets you guide him back down. he kisses your cheek, apologizing and promising to make you breakfast first thing in the morning.

volkner is someone who appreciates intelligence. even if you're not as well-read as him, he likes talking things out with you: schematics for new projects, battle strategies, new inventions he'd like to make someday. listen to him ramble, ask questions, and give him your input if you feel confident. he'll appreciate it no matter what you do.

when flint comes by and they have their occasional battles, it's like a totally different version of volkner. he's energetic and passionate as he comes up with different ways to catch flint off guard, and every time he does, he immediately looks to you like he's trying his best to impress you.

"luxray, use thunder fang on magmortar's arm!" flint's eyes widen as volkner's partner pokemon grabs magmortar by the arm and crushes it between its electrified fangs. magmortar grunts and tries to throw luxray off. "now, throw him to the ground!" luxray goes back onto his hind legs, managing to pull magmortar with him, and throws him down. the force is enough to crack the floor, and flint chuckles. "you never run out of ideas, do you?" volkner's not paying attention to flint, though. he stares off into the stands, making direct eye contact with you, and grins. you roll your eyes and cup your hands around your mouth. "pay attention to the battle!" "right, right," volkner says, turning back to the field as magmortar gets back up. "don't worry! i'm just getting started!"

[pokemoncenter]

so how's your grandma doing? any updates? is she johto's champion yet?

I actually met up with her, since I am in Johto anyway. It was... interesting, to meet with her face to face. She seems very different from what I had been told, but it seems she has just gone through quite a bit.

She has four badges now, and she seems to be content with that. She has returned to Ecruteak, though she has admitted she may continue to travel more after a break. She now has a Quilava, Eevee, Skarmory, and Sneasel, and they all seem to be quite happy.

... Truthfully, I hope she does not resume her journey. She... You see, apparently, while she was traveling, she was set upon by a remnant of Team Rocket who assumed an old woman traveling alone was an easy mark.

... Said Team Rocket member was... seemingly unaware of how physically demanding a Kimono Girl's work is. Dancing in kimonos wearing 20kg or more, with incredible stamina.

She apparently, by her own admission, "dragged that obnoxious boy to the police by the ear, like he deserved". I looked up the incident in the news, and she insists that she had absolutely nothing to do with said Rocket's broken nose.

I... wish for her to remain safe, so I hope she will refrain from such things in the future....

Bio

(FULL NAME)

GENERAL

Name: Aruna Aiko

Name Meaning(s): Loving Moon

Nickname(s): Ai

Gender: Female

Age: 17 despite her height

Birthday: 5/6

Height: 4′4

Weight: 85 pounds

Hometown: Ecruteak City

Region: Originally Johto, but moved to Kanto

Goal: Preserve the peace within Lavender Tower

Quote: “You can either respect the dead, or you can return to them.”

Starter: Ghastly.

APPEARANCE

Other: As stated above, Aruna has a stunted growth issue. Chronologically, she’s 17 years old, however, at the time of her accidental electrocution, that shock ended up making her look like she’s 14 or lower.

PERSONALITY/TRAITS

Voice: Ina

Singing Voice:

BACKSTORY

After her electrocution incident, Aruna, at first, felt like her entire set of goals were all over. Just when she was well and prepared to give up altogether…a small smoky wisp approached the young girl. The Gastly was much smaller than its other counterparts. Her first assumption was that this Pokemon has recently passed. Whatever the reason, That Gastly brought Aruna a great deal of comfort and joy.

When she had finally recovered from her more serious injuries, Aruna threw herself back into her training but now she had a little friend by her side~ As the years rolled on and the young girl was finally of legal age to become an official Trainer, there was no other Pokemon she felt more deserving to be her Starter.

Those precious moments, both past and future are what set Aruna on the path to dedicating herself to Ghost Pokemon. She did have some snags here and there with a few select Gyms, but she pushed forward and stuck to her guns. Gastly soon became Haunter, and finally Gengar thanks to the assistance of her Father.

By the time Aruna had made her way to Blackthorne, a thought began to fill her head. “…Is this really what I want?” She had gone through 7 of the 8 Gyms and each time the first thought through her mind was “I want to be on the other side.” That’s when it hit her. The ship in Olivine City was much too pricy, but the Magnet Train was perfectly within her budget. The only thing standing in her way was the Dragon Master herself.

It took several attempts on Aruna’s part but in the end she managed to just narrowly scrape by and earn her final badge. With all that set, she made a beeline to the Magnet Train Station after going home to prepare for her trip and give her goodbyes to her friends and family. Before leaving however…Morty himself granted Aruna with a single gift. A…teacup? No! A little Pokemon! She wasn’t too sure who the little happy teacup was, but Aruna welcomed them to the team with open arms.

All that was left was to depart to Kanto. As soon as she reached Saffron City, Aruna bolted to Lavender as fast as she could, expecting to see what she had always seen in the pictures and stories. Needless to say…she was deeply disappointed in what she saw. Not only was the entrance itself nothing like what she had seen, but all this pointless radio equipment was strewn about in a place that was originally meant to be a Pokemon’s final resting place! Honest anger was a rarity for the young Trainer, but in this case she was absolutely livid.

But, as it stood, Aruna had no leverage to actually move them out. And as angry as she was, the last thing she wanted was to jeopardize someone’s livelihood. For the next three years or so she worked towards earning the right to become a Gym Leader, the first step was establishing a building to use as her base of operations. What better spot than the Tower itself. That was indeed where she felt the most at peace after all. But before that, Aruna met with both Sylph Co. and Sabrina as well to work out a relocation deal. In exchange for them taking both the radio equipment and the workers themselves, she’d take up the mantle of maintaining income within Lavender Town via her Leader position.

When it was all said and done, Aruna made true on her word. She kept the first floor as it was, but the upper floors onward were all returned to their respective original state. Save for the upper floor…

The wide untouched area near the center was made into Aruna’s battle zone, while still maintaining a good distance away from the graves themselves.

With her Gym finally set in stone, all Aruna had to do now was wait and accept any and all challengers…

PUBLIC V PRIVATE INFORMATION

public - anyone can know this, as it is well known or publicly available.

Matsuba is the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City and a specialist in Ghost-type Pokemon. He tends to be one of the premier trainers regarding the typing.

Additionally, he is a priest of the Bell Tower and a follower of Ho-oh, a duty his family has had for many generations.

His mother, Mayoi, used to be the Gym Leader. Matsuba ascended to the title at the age of 17.

He is known as something of an expert of local Johto legends, and often studies them in his free time.

Matsuba is capable of incredible feats of supernatural power, including but not limited to scrying on far away or lost objects and people, healing and some level of precognition. While these shows of power drain him, he will often use them to help people for very little in return.

Took part in both PWT events, in Unova and in Kanto. Placed in the Type Master category of the former, but did not place in the latter.

Close friends and protector of the Kimono Girls.

Has a Keystone and is a trainer capable of using Mega-evolution. He only uses it with his Gengar these days, as using it with his Banette caused an incredibly public spectacle when she turned on him during the battle.

semi-public - while not well known, this information is not entirely held privately. could be heard secondhand.

Briefly went missing recently due to an incident in the Ruins of Alph and needed to be rescued. Escaped with a broken arm that was healed by Yellow.

He was involved in the Black Fog incident that struck Saffron City about a year ago. The details of his involvement, beyond his friendship and alliance with Sabrina, are unknown to the general public.

Matsuba suffers consistently from a variety of chronic conditions that cause migraines, exhaustion and general unwellness. These have been exacerbated in recent months.

His clairvoyant abilities, while incredible, do not affect himself. He cannot peer into his own future, and locating his own things is more imprecise than when doing so for someone else.

private - close friends, family or people directly told know this.

As a follower of Ho-oh, Matsuba has an incredible range of ability to heal and protect others from death. During the Black Fog incident, he protected Green and Looker from outright death and drew the ire of the Great Sickness.

Since then, he has been suffering from a curse that plagues him with nightmares, insomnia, pain and exhaustion.

Despite being a priest of Ho-oh, he was not chosen as Ho-oh's champion - Gold was. He nurses a quiet anger about this, but does not let it affect his friendship with Gold.

His reason for traveling to the Ruins of Alph was to locate information on the whereabouts of Entei for the purposes of trying to find another Legendary that he had a fateful encounter with when younger.

He has a Hisuian Zoroark given to him during the PWT in Kanto that has recently evolved. While the presence of the Zoroark isn't a secret, the fact that it has evolved to be larger than normal and with a darker malice is a secret held to his chest.

Public vs Private Information

Public—

Proton is an Executive ranked member of Team Rocket, and heads their sub market & black market operations. He has numerous grunts, officers and admins ranked below him as subordinates, all who help run his markets. He also employees The Repo Squad.

He spends a lot of time outside of headquarters due to the nature of his duties. It is not too uncommon to see him in public, but he tries to keep a low profile, unless he is out on business with clients.

He is mixed ethnicity; Johtoen and the Pokémon equivalent of Korean.

He is known to be abnormally violent.

Private—

Proton joined Rocket at the age of 15, and advanced the ranks quickly due to his ruthless nature towards competition, and manipulative tactics used on the streets for black market sales.

He was raised by his paternal grandfather after his parents passed when he was 9 years old from an illness.

After an incident at the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island 8 years ago, caused by malfunctioning equipment and overuse of a damaged cloning machine, Proton was sent “out of bounds” and exposed to a “glitch anomaly”, better known as MissingNo. He is the only member of his squad who survived.

He was catatonic for a month after the incident. The exposure corrupted him at a DNA level, which has damaged his nervous system and worsened his already poor mental health. It also caused him to have bizarre spurts of strength, and crippling moments of physical weakness.

Though he has recovered rather well, and his body has stabilized somewhat, he is still prone to fits, triggers and psychosis. Blunt force trauma to the head worsens his condition and sets him off. His memory is spotty, and he has forgotten the majority of his childhood and parts of his adulthood because of it.

Classified—

His full, legal name is Kojima Tae-hyung.

He was born in Ecruteak City on June 17th.

Proton is responsible for the murder of his paternal grandfather.

// Don't reblog this post, I don't want it being spread around!

A collection of HCs:

Morty's fame as a gym leader, only carries any weight in pokemon training circles. Outside of it, he really isn't well known. He most certainly isn't a superstar, it is what I'm saying. It was this fact that made him seek out neighborhoods, where trainers aren't exactly a frequent sight. This search led him to the outskirts of Ecruteak city, where the richness of the downtown is nowhere to be seen, and it is a lot cheaper to live in. The outskirts hold a resemblance to practically, any modern day city found in the Johto region. It is a stark contrast, from what Ecruteak is known for.

As mentioned in an older post, Morty lives in a Jiko Bukken, type of apartment. It is dirty cheap, it fits his budget, and much to his dismay it is legitimately haunted. Morty has had experiences with some of the entities that inhabit his apartment. Despite that, Morty remains as skeptical as ever about the supernatural.

Morty doesn't go out of his way to attract them, he most certainly doesn't want to do anything with them, out of respect for the dead following his religious beliefs. however, due to being a ghost-type specialist that ends up becoming an attention grabber, to wandering souls.

Since his run-in with the Shedinja, Morty has been struggling with a sentiment of questioning himself on whether or not, he belongs on his reality. It is a line of thought that deeply disturbs him, and it pushes him to go out and about even more, in an attempt to mute it out.

Much to his dismay, he would experience genuine peace from that sensation, in an incident which involved him being dragged into the spirits realm by his Dusknoir. During his short stay, for the very first time in a long while, he didn't feel that dread. Since then, he looks back at this experience, as one of the scariest things he has ever gone through and it still haunts him.

-- JMF: The Moon Dance

The sun had begun to set on the final day of the festival and while everyone went about their business, one of the final things that had been on the pamphlet was the Moon Dance. Ashe had made sure that if not for anything else, everyone should come and try to see this from her group, family and friend alike, that had attended. Whether they showed up was up to them, but she stood in the front rows watching this priestess closely. She hadn’t been able to help much against the demon -- her and Lucky had barely been able to touch it, and really it felt like a failure in a way, and yet... 

“We need to get stronger.” She spoke quietly to her partner who looked up at her, his ribbon wrapped around her arm. “We have too.” She had a feeling from that mysterious object that man had given her -- something about a sword and shield, and her dreams... that something was coming... and not to mention the fact her brothers would be going on an a journey soon to Lental to speak with Xerneas of all pokemon ( in their universe at least ). Falling silent just as the music began, she felt something brush up against her, hidden by an illusion that shimmered in the light -- Kianga in his Zoroark form. He sat beside her, hidden to everyone that didn’t have some supernatural ability and watched the performance. Moving a hand up to grip into his fur as Amethyst arrived beside her brother as well, it didn’t take Leon and Grusha to appear with Leon hovering close behind Ashe. 

Bahamut was likely in his pokeball due to the sheer number of people and Grusha only had Ezio with him who rested on his shoulder -- all of them watched the performance with Ashe’s RotomPhone secretly filming the whole thing as it had been filming various things throughout the weekend. That being said, all of them there caught sight of the supernatural things going on too. The Darkrai longing for its beloved and joining in with the priestess and helping to seal the gates...

Holding their heads high as the performance ended, applause was given by the time everyone else did so. Ashe at this time looked to those around her and felt a sense of relief -- they had made it out of another incident alive and well, but how many more before something terrible happened? It was a question that burned in the back of her mind, but she shook her head as she lowered her hands then. 

“Let’s enjoy while we can. We’ll go to Ecruteak City and spend some time with Donovan and Flannery before we head home after this. The ranch needs us... and I think we need it.” She admitted, for a moment appearing much like the Matriarch she was destined to be, although no one said so. With that, the group headed back to the inn finally for dinner, but not before Kianga was pulled aside by Ashe to discuss the message their father had left with her...

[lustrous-dawn]

The Ho-oh took the high attitudes, concealing himself above the cloud layer. The feather clutched between his beak began to smolder before becoming ash. 

Stressed. 

Zhen was agitated. He should have been joyful. His counterpart was finally awake. Finally a brief reprieve from his woes, yet still he was in a foul mood. Maybe it was despite the numerous attempts of mental connection he couldn't hope to wake his counterpart. 

The connection was feeble. He could never completely get a grasp on it. Only he knew when he was awake. A near silent hum in the back of his mind. 

Because I'm weak…

He fought the urge to release a bout of flames in frustration. 

He inhaled slowly, maintaining his composure before adjusting his course slightly.

Due West. 

Meanwhile…

Life thrived. Pedestrians rapidly ran from one place to another. A prosperous metropolis with an outstanding radio tower as its jewel. 

"In other news today, the people of Ecruteak began to rebuild this afternoon. Several volunteers from the region and Kanto alike come together to use their combined efforts to expedite- ZZRT!" 

The radio started to fizzle, static erupting from the device.

"This blasted old machine. Work... " Groused a voice, a man. After adjusting the antenna for several minutes, the radio finally resumed- 

"Ho-oh and Zapdos have not been seen since the incident occurred. We also attempted to find the trainer responsible for disrupting their battle but with no avail. We can only hope they are well and our prayers go out to them. In other news-"

"Enough of that." The man muttered, cutting the broadcast short.

Folding his arms across his chest, he glared across at the mentioned trainer, a tad worse than wear but safe and sound. 

"That was foolish of you. You may have a League under your belt but putting yourself between Legends? I taught you better than that."

"But Zane-" 

Zane held up his hand. "Spare me, Lucian. Any more of your excuses will only anger me." His tone harsh, his silver gaze stern. "You may have thought you had the experience to handle the situation but you came to me for treatment. Battered and bruised." 

To his surprise, he hadn't seen a single burn on Lucien. Just mere bruises and scratches that were similar to a rough fall. 

Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for his Flygon companion. In worse shape than her owner, she refused to separate from Lucien for treatment. For the time being, her head rested upon his lap, antennae twitching, clearly on edge. 

"Allow me to explain." 

"Momentarily. First it seems we have visitors. I believed I had to flip the sign to Closed for the day," Zane sighed before pacing to the door.

"You will have to forgive me but please be brief with your questions. I have a patient to tend to."

[ Zhen is still currently unavailable; Both Doctor and Trainer are available for questions! ]

(@goldenrodchef) Please stay safe. Team Rocket's takeover of the Radio Tower in my universe was a nightmare. There were casualties.

Please stay safe.

-Gen

Gen. Do you mean to say that this incident has happened in multiple universes? I cannot say I like that at all.

...If I could merely find a way into the building, you would need to be far more worried about Team Rocket than about me. Unfortunately, they reinforced the ground floor of the building, and neither I nor any of my Pokémon possess the raw strength necessary to break the doors down as we did in Mahogany Town.

There must be another way in. But time is of the essence, and I will need time that I do not have to find such a passageway.

However. There may be another method of attaining the strength needed here, and... in all honesty, I suppose I am desperate enough to try something bordering on the outright insane.

I only hope that this will not be a complete waste of my time, because I do not know how else I could get into the Radio Tower. Once I am inside... well. It will be a very different story then, even lacking as I am in my old weaponry.

Currently, I am returning to Ecruteak to discuss the matter further. If nothing else, perhaps it will make Team Rocket believe falsely that I have given up.

(I have not given up.)

Isabel's Johto Pokémon

All of Isabel's pokémon on Johto region.

Aki, the Entei (gender unknown)

Moveset: Sacred Fire, Extreme Speed, Stone Edge, Flare Blitz, Over Heat, Hyper Beam, Fire Blast, Roar, Reflect, Detect.

Ability: Inner Focus

Entei was originally captured by Isabel, Kelly's mother on her journey;

Isabel was studying more about Johntonian folklore through a book about the three legendary beastly pokémon (Like mother, like daughter being folklore nerds) while she was camping;

The old cliché of a criminal organization like Team Rocket trying to carry out some evil plan that was corrupting the balance;

Also trying to capture legendary pokémon to use them as weapons, but were unlucky enough to cross paths with Isabel;

Like mother, like daughter! Isabel has never tolerated pokemon being mistreated or people trying to use them for selfish purposes;

Needless to say, they got their asses kicked, not only did the bad guys' Pokemon but Team Rocket's grunts get some pretty painful karate treatment;

The legendary pokémon realized that there was no bad intention in her actions, especially when she helped it hide from the authorities when Isabel handed over the grunts of Team Rocket to Officer Jenny and it was she who took care of its injuries;

She was also at the side of the legendary pokémon all the time it needed to be admitted to the pokémon center and helping Nurse Joy to keep a low profile of its presence;

Isabel was also with it on the day of its release and each one went their own way,

This did not last long, as a week later Entei appeared before her;

Words didn't need to be said, it was clear that the legendary pokémon chose her as its trainer;

As a family tradition, the legendary was given the name “Aki” which means autumn and which is Isabel's favorite season who compared entei to the beautiful autumn landscapes in Ecruteak;

Precisely because it is a Legendary, Isabel kept it in a low profile, with the pokémon only entering the battlefield in extreme need;

Years passed until the incident between Isabel and her brother happend, causing the trainer of this pokémon to receive custody of Kelly;

Kelly was raised by Isabel and always had Aki as a part of her life while growing up and Aki simply took on the older silbing role;

After the accident that Isabel suffered and the consequences resulting from it, she was unable to take care of many pokémon on her own;

Isabel didn't have many pokémon, but the sequels still made it impossible for her to do much of her old routine and to avoid the worst case scenario that was that the authorities needed to take them out of Isabel's custody, Kelly intervened taking full responsibility;

That's how Aki and several of Isabel's other Pokémon were placed in Kelly's custody.

Dante, the Honchkrow (male♂)

Move set: Brave Bird, Dark Pulse, Aerial Ace, Taunt, Sky Attack, Night Slash, Superpower, Haze, Defog, Whirlwind.

Ability: Super Luck

Dante is Isabel's first pokémon and her companion in many battles;

They met in Ecruteak, years before Isabel could even have her first pokémon and leave on her journey;

Isabel was only five years old when she saw a small murkrow being bullied by a bunch of bullies who had buried the poor pokémon up to its neck and were throwing rocks;

Isabel was known as the "heroine" of Ecruteak and a skilled practitioner of Johtonian karate, no bullies caused trouble when she was around;

Those bullies had a lesson that has never been forgotten;

Isabel helped the poor pokémon and took it home asking for help from her parents to take care of the wounds;

As murkrow recovered, he became more attached to his savior and decided that she would be his trainer and Isabel would not deny it because she became attached to him too;

When the time came for them to set out on their journey, they were inseparable.

He remains faithful to Isabel, but he also obeys and protects Kelly ('cause he's her oldest sibling being Isabel's first pokémon).

She's his trainer's precious daughter and if it weren't for her, perhaps Isabel's entire team and pokémon would have been wiped out of Isabel custody by his trainer's disability imposed by the aftermath of the accident;

That said, it's not wise to try and do something to Kelly, Dante might as well get a bunch of murkrow and make said idiot's life hell while they still alive.

Apollo, the Espeon (male♂)

Move set: Calm Mind, Magic Bounce, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Morning Sun, Zap Cannon, Dazzling Gleam, Trick, Hidden Power, Protect.

Ability: Magic Bounce

Isabel in the middle of her journey, she was camping when she was challenged by a trainer she found in the clearing where her camp was set;

Soon she was battling the trainer who owned an eevee while Isabel commanded Dante the Honchkrow;

During the battle the eevee evolved into an espeon which was happy to finally evolve and when it was about to go to its trainer, he wasn't well received about it;

Said trainer was furious, as he wanted his eevee to have evolved into an umbreon and not "dumb pink thing";

Taking out his anger on the pokémon he shouted at the espeon that cowered in fear not recognizing the usual loving trainer;

What broke the espeon's heart was hearing its trainer shouting that it didn't need a girly and useless pokémon and seeing it stomping the now espeon's poké ball breaking it;

He simply walked away, leaving the espeon behind and not caring about Isabel's protests about how cruel his attitude was towards the pokémon;

She saw how hurt the pokémon was and would not leave him by himself, going to console him, took him in her arms and snuggled him against her, letting her heartbeat calm him down;

Isabel started saying how amazing and beautiful the pokémon was and saying several other compliments, but also how the old trainer was an idiot for not seeing that;

She invited him to join her on her journey, if he ever wanted to go his own path he was free to do so or if he wanted to stay by her side she would always be here for him;

And well, he ended up deciding to be Isabel's pokémon and got the name Apollo;

And there was one time they bumped on Apollo's former trainer who seeing how strong the espeon had become, tried to use sugar-coated words and empty apologies to get the pokémon to take him back as his trainer;

Only to be blasted away with a powerful Shadow Ball, well call it karma.

Eudora, the Arbok (female♀)

Move set: Coil, Gunk Shot, Aqua Tail, Earthquake, Fire Fang, Disable, Thunder Fang, Seed Bomb, Dark Pulse, Dragon Tail.

Ability: Intimidate

Eudora was an ekans when she met Isabel who had gotten lost in the forest after running away from a beedrill swarm;

The ekans was very sick and was abandoned by her group, but luckily it had been found by Isabel;

Isabel had sent Dante to look for a road or a possible pokémon center and even if they were lucky the base of forest guards in case they had entered a forest reserve;

In this case it was the first option and not far away there was a pokémon center;

Isabel had tripped over the pokémon's long serpentine body which was too weak to react or flee, in fact the pokémon was barely conscious;

Obviously Isabel with the help of Alphonse, the venusaur took the ekans to the pokémon center;

There ekans received the treatment that it needed so much and from time to time Isabel visited the pokémon;

After a few days the pokémon was already in better health, but not enough to return to the wild;

It would still take a few weeks for it to be truly healthy, but then Isabel wanted to make sure the pokémon was in full health to be back in the wild;

So she took responsibility, but would not catch the ekans without the pokémon wanting it and with that they spent some time traveling together until ekans was in full health;

But instead of leaving, the pokémon signaled that it wanted Isabel as its trainer and received the name Eudora;

Despite her kind's fame, Eudora's an extremely affectionate cuddle bug and proof of this are photos of her using her long snake-like body as a playpen or a giant pillow for Kelly to nap on when she was still a baby;

And Eudora isn't just the cuddle bug that everyone sees when she isn't on the battlefield, in those moments she is atrocious and merciless;

Like many of Isabel's Pokémon, she was placed in Kelly's custody after the accident and now days she's live in the ranch helping with the security.

(CONTINUED maybe we're back on track if I didn't mess up my text splitting pls don't eat a part tumblr, I THINK there's 5 if I counted right??? im so sorry OP you're an angel for putting up with me and I'm starting to think I didn't give you an adequate enough heads-up) This fic is my baby, it has grown up with me, I’m literally sending Leaf to College at one point to project that life on 🤣 hey Blue Oak did it, so can she. (but Highschool first, can’t convince me anyone with the education of a 4th grader (or 8th grader tech, Ash is 10, she's 14 Let's Go-style where he was born during "protagonist years") will be allowed to be a Champ who wants in on how to run a region and detective work) schooling is a bit different in Pokeverse, you take Uni classes for fun, don’t need two years of an AA or AS Degree. Pokémon Toxicology, BioDiversity and Medicine re: using their natural abilities VS Organic Chemistry ANY DAY + Law Student-like internships at the League to learn Champ duties + fun bonus of Lance doing extra and involving his League with the Interpol.) "Where do you think you're going?" "Out." "Without doing the paperwork?" "You can give it to the intern!" "You are the intern." “I cannot believe this betrayal. This slight against me will not be forgotten.” “You mean just like how you didn’t forget the League duties you insisted on being allowed to do?” eyebrow raise “…well.” Lance is not exempt from bullying.

"You're the one wearing a bib!" "A what?! It's a cape!" "And it's on the wrong side!" "It's a cape! And it's elegant!" "It's tacky is what it is!" You're likely to find her complimenting Leon's cape just because of how offended Lance gets. Choosing a cape is a science. But nobody wants to hear a one-hour monologue on Cape Studies. Payback uwu. He's actually the reason she ends up having to finish Highschool. He's not giving an obviously emotionally tired 14 y/o Boring Adult Work even if she's eager to do it because SOMEONE needs to fix the atrocious state of the Kanto Region. (Lance was overworked, he's trying, but Indigo Season...what is wrong with all these citizens. It's ok, once she's ready they can split uuuh, the work between Kanto, Johto, The Orange Islands, and the Sevii Islands + G-Men Investigations so Lance doesn't have a heart-attack at his desk. But seriously, who gave him this much work anyways??? Not to mention running the League, the Gym Budgets, restocking Badges, employee paychecks, monitoring trainers during League Season, and the influx of tourists and establishing Pokemon Contests in KanJoh, etc.) So it's off to learn The Magic of Friendship with Ash and friends and falling victim to their puppy-dog eyes. (Occasional meet-ups during Kanto turn into full Joh-Hoenn adventures, and Sinnoh encounter when investigating with Looker about Team Galactic as Lance I presume is off training in Galar, he needs a break too.) So for Johto (*insert horrified look at the GS Ball because that's what you use to capture Celebi, she would know~ "well heck, guess I have to steal that when no one's looking.") And everyone going, "You know Leaf, I was a bit worried when we heard about The Incident but you're still you :)" Cue Leaf "oh...*laughs nervously.*" (That moment when you disappear off the face of the earth after The Incident, and re-appear to win the Indigo League and Clean House and don't know how to tell people you kind of regained memories of your past life and had an existential crisis. They're a bit come and go/the ones getting triggered upon meeting Steven in the Granite Cave episode was fun lol (not) *Gets to Ecruteak, sees Morty, books it the other way because she remembers his warnings to not chase after Celebi from The Other Timeline/Gameverse and does not need him seeing the many ghosts of her dead Pokemon clinging to her if they are.*

BLUE OAK DID IT, SO CAN SHE! This is gonna be my new motto for everything, whether it's relevant or not lmao. These Lance interactions are everything to me. I LOVE found family League shenanigans. So precious I want to cry. Okay I want to read this fic so badly. It sounds so heartwrenching and fascinating and I can tell you've put SO MUCH thought into it. Gimme. *Grabby hands motion* (actually though, i am happy to beta read if you ever consider posting!)
